Ling Qingzhu stared intently at the courtyard, fully focused on sensing his aura.
The elders nearby were also paying close attention, gathering in small groups and sharing their thoughts.
"I... I've never heard of anyone attempting to pass through the Three Yuan Nirvana Tribulation in one go! It's nothing short of suicide to elevate oneself like this."
"What a pity. Such a rare cultivation genius, yet his heart is too fragile. He'll fall under the Nirvana Tribulation."
"A tall tree catches the wind. I suppose he was too exceptional, and even the heavens couldn't allow it."
"What a shame! The hope for our Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace to rise has been destroyed!"
The crowd shook their heads and sighed in regret.
Ding! Ling Qingzhu has developed a resentful emotion. Emotion value +50.
Ding! Ling Qingzhu has developed a shocked emotion. Emotion value +100.
...
Ding! Ling Qingzhu has developed a joyous emotion. Emotion value +199.
At that moment, inside the room, Chen Xuan's body was glowing red as the Nirvana Tribulation erupted within him. He could hear all the discussions outside and naturally sensed the joy Ling Qingzhu felt.
She likely believed he was done for, given the threefold Nirvana Tribulation.
She thought that once he perished, the rumors about her would die down, and in time, he, Chen Xuan, would be the one seen at fault.
An interesting idea—but just that, an idea.
Because he had long since prepared a foolproof way to overcome this Nirvana Tribulation.
Chen Xuan pulled out a jade pendant, glowing green. If Shen Qing were present, she would immediately recognize it as an ancient Nirvana Jade—an invaluable treasure capable of helping someone survive the Nirvana Tribulation.
Chen Xuan gripped the pendant and formed a hand seal. In an instant, the pendant emitted a gentle green light that enveloped him entirely. In the blink of an eye, the red hue on his body vanished, and he returned to normal, unscathed and having successfully overcome the threefold Nirvana Tribulation.
Outside the courtyard, the onlookers noticed that Chen Xuan's aura was not only stable but also more powerful than even some of the elders'. They were all dumbfounded, their eyes filled with astonishment, frozen in place.
No one expected Chen Xuan to succeed!
How had he done it?
The murmurs of amazement spread.
Not far away, Ling Qingzhu was completely stunned. Although she hadn't recognized Chen Xuan's talent before, she thought he wasn't qualified to be her husband. Now, he had far surpassed her, and she realized that he was more than qualified.
Considering that he had just handed her a divorce letter, intending to sever their marriage, she hesitated. Should she go over and congratulate him? Perhaps she could mend their relationship?
Ling Qingzhu stood there, debating for a long time.
Not only were they once husband and wife, but they were also disciples of the same sect. At the very least, she should congratulate him. Maybe, after his breakthrough, he would be in a good mood and wouldn't hold a grudge.
After all, their marriage had been known across all the major sects of the Eastern Xuan Region, and Chen Xuan had loved her deeply. Maybe the divorce letter was just to force her into submitting to him.
However, just as she approached the entrance, she was stopped by a group of people.
"Apologies, Senior Sister, but Senior Brother Chen is still in seclusion and doesn't want to be disturbed."
Chen Fei's tone was indifferent, with a hint of anger.
Ling Qingzhu couldn't believe what she was hearing and seeing. She had always known that Chen Fei was Chen Xuan's close friend.
Every time she had visited before, they had greeted her warmly and even fought over who would be the godfather of their future children. Why had things changed?
Before she could process it, Chen Fei spoke impatiently.
"Senior Sister, you should leave before we lose our patience. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
Chen Fei's voice was cold.
Before Chen Xuan and Ling Qingzhu got married, Chen Fei had also harbored hopes of being with her. Even if his cultivation was weaker, he would have accepted that.
But now, he was glad that his Senior Brother Chen had opened their eyes to her true nature.
"Congratulate him for me! Also, tell him that I do not agree to the divorce!" Ling Qingzhu said before stepping onto her lotus platform and disappearing from view.
Ding! Ling Qingzhu has developed an angry emotion. Emotion value +50.
Chen Xuan tallied up his emotional gains. Today, from Ling Qingzhu alone, he had collected hundreds of emotional points. If only the system included the elders, this would have been a truly rewarding harvest!
Having completed his breakthrough and in a good mood, Chen Xuan invited his close brothers from the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace, including Chen Fei, for a celebration. But really, it was a farewell party before he departed.
That night, they drank until they were passed out, completely unaware of the world around them.
In the end, it was Chen Xuan who personally escorted each one of them back to their rooms.
The next morning, without disturbing anyone, Chen Xuan packed his belongings and quietly left the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace.
Unbeknownst to him, on a distant island in the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace, Shen Qing watched his figure gradually disappear and turned to the woman beside her, saying, "Qingzhu, now you must realize what you've lost."
In just five short years, Chen Xuan had gone from a Body Refining Stage cultivator to a Four Yuan Nirvana Stage expert! This wasn't just talent—it was unprecedented!
Talents like his were fiercely fought over by the top sects. And yet, the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace was letting him go because of Ling Qingzhu.
Shen Qing could only imagine how the top sects in the Eastern Xuan Region would react once this news got out. They would undoubtedly offer him unimaginable terms to win him over.
"Teacher, is there still a chance to make amends?" Ling Qingzhu asked softly, regret heavy in her voice.
She was already filled with remorse, but as the saying goes, there's no medicine for regret.
Sure enough, Shen Qing sighed and replied, "Amends? How? You can't turn back an arrow once it's released."
Ling Qingzhu clenched her hands and remained silent.
"I haven't agreed. He won't get his divorce!" she thought.
...
On the other side, after leaving the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace, Chen Xuan made his way directly towards the Great Yan Empire
His purpose was simple: revenge!
Luckily, he had read the original story and could roughly guess where Lin Dong might be. This prevented him from wandering aimlessly through the Great Yan Empire and wasting time.
With his destination clear, he sped ahead without delay.
