Because of a bout of drunkenness, Wang Xiaoqiang had made Xi Yuerong his woman.

Upon waking up in pain, Xi Yuerong was extremely angry and pushed Wang Xiaoqiang away.

However, deep within her heart, she had already accepted this fact. She liked Wang Xiaoqiang, but after all, she was a girl with a delicate reputation and held back from confessing her feelings because Xia Xueyan had already become Wang Xiaoqiang's woman.

Now, under the influence of alcohol, Wang Xiaoqiang having taken her actually fulfilled her wishes. Nevertheless, she still maintained a reserved front, unsure of how Xia Xueyan would react.

Xia Xueyan also woke up and seeing the situation, pushed Wang Xiaoqiang out, then held her best friend to comfort her. Seeing that Xi Yuerong wasn't reacting much and wasn't crying, she said softy, "Sister Yuerong, now we truly are close sisters..."

...

At that moment, Wang Xiaoqiang also felt a headache. He had inadvertently mistaken Xi Yuerong for Xia Xueyan and had his way with her, and considering that Xi Yuerong was a virgin, the thought made him secretly proud. Once a woman has her first time, he thought, worrying about the second time is unnecessary.

Pleased with himself, Wang Xiaoqiang then headed towards Yus Ziman's residence. Having not visited for a week, when Yus Ziman saw Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly arrive, she couldn't help but express surprise, "Old Ancestor, what brought you here tonight?"

"Is it bad to come here? You are my woman. I'll come whenever I want to," Wang Xiaoqiang had just taken Xi Yuerong's virginity but didn't manage to enjoy it as she pushed him away. He was still holding a grudge, and seeing Yus Ziman dressed in clingy undergarments, her curvaceous figure like a captivating mermaid, Wang Xiaoqiang pounced like a hungry tiger and pinned her down on... the bed.

...

The next day.

Xi Yuerong and Xia Xueyan hung out together all day. In the evening, when Xi Yuerong saw Wang Xiaoqiang return, she stood up to return to her own residence to rest, but Xia Xueyan pulled her back. Wrapping her arms around Xi Yuerong's neck, she whispered, "Don't make it hard for Little Qiang, let's serve him together."

Xi Yuerong's cheeks flushed, and she didn't refuse.

If Wang Xiaoqiang slept with Xia Xueyan, she would inevitably feel resentful, having been taken by him and now considered his woman, naturally craving comfort from her man.

If Wang Xiaoqiang were to accompany her and leave Xia Xueyan alone, she would certainly also be filled with frustration.

Instead, the three of them decided to sleep together!

Since Xia Xueyan was the one to bring it up first, she certainly wouldn't reject it.

Still, she had to maintain a bit of dignity on the surface.

Seizing the moment, Wang Xiaoqiang came over, his left arm around Xia Xueyan's neck and his right arm around Xi Yuerong's slender waist, and he chuckled mischievously, "Since it's like this, then let's share the same bed! Haha..."

He looked exactly like a peasant who had stumbled upon a great fortune, prompting both women to simultaneously extend a slender finger and tap his forehead, giving him a reprimanding look with their beautiful eyes.

Such charm and grace, unmatched beauties!

...

Going with the flow is mundane, going against it is divine.

Immortal Cultivation is about defying the heavens, competing with destiny, attracting the envy, the condemnation, and the tribulations of the heavens!

While mortals can live up to a hundred years, cultivators in the True Immortal Realm can live for ten thousand years. That is competing with fate; hence cultivators will face Heavenly Tribulations and suffer the strikes of Heaven's Punishing Thunder.

Wang Xiaoqiang, in the Second Stage of True Immortal Realm, aimed to break through to the Third Stage of True Immortal Realm that night, having just advanced past the late stage of Organ Refining, with his body and meridians becoming firmer. He planned to use the remaining Demon Crystals and Corpse Crystals to make the breakthrough.

Once his decision was made, Wang Xiaoqiang chose a secret room, positioned his Patterned Beast to guard outside, then sat cross-legged in the room and took out the remaining Demon Crystals and Corpse Crystals from the Sumeru Ring, releasing the Spiritual Spring.

Wang Xiaoqiang then released the Spiritual Power within him to absorb the Demon Crystals and Corpse Crystals.

At this time, Wang Xiaoqiang had 358,400 beads of Spiritual Spring in his body; he only released 158,400 beads of Spiritual Spring, which, in a burst, pounced on those Demon Crystals and Corpse Crystals like hungry cats crazily sucking them dry.

Suck, suck, suck... suck, suck, suck...

As the count of Demon Crystals and Corpse Crystals rapidly decreased, the 158,400 beads of Spiritual Spring kept expanding until they were full and returned into Wang Xiaoqiang's body.

Then, the 158,400 beads of Spiritual Spring emitted a series of fine cracking sounds.

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft... pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft...

158,400 Spiritual Springs split in two, turning into 314,800 Spiritual Springs, adding to the original 200,000, making the total number of Spiritual Springs inside Wang Xiaoqiang's body reach 514,800.

All 514,800 Spiritual Springs trembled simultaneously.

Then...

The Spiritual Power inside Wang Xiaoqiang surged wildly, like rivers sweeping, like seas storming, thunderously rushing through the meridians and acupoints of his body, eventually turning into over a hundred Gang Qi Vortexes swirling within him.

Suddenly, one Gang Qi Vortex shot out from the top of Wang Xiaoqiang's head and, with a loud crash, it struck the top of the secret chamber, blowing the roof open.

Then, hundreds of Gang Qi Vortexes spun endlessly inside Wang Xiaoqiang. Like hot air balloons, they lifted his body, making him ascend into the air.

This was not an ascension driven by Wang Xiaoqiang's own will, but rather, the Gang Qi Vortexes within him carrying him upward.

This was the most direct manifestation of leveling up.

This ascent was faster and higher than when he had just advanced to the True Immortal Realm Second Stage.

And, it felt even more exhilarating.

This was what's meant by yearning to float like an immortal, this was the so-called ascension of an immortal.

Finally, at a certain height, the Gang Qi Vortexes inside his body exploded with a crash, transforming into Spiritual Power, absorbed back into the Spiritual Springs like a giant whale drawing water, and then the Spiritual Springs inside his body, numerous as grains of sand in a star, started circulating in some mysterious trajectory.

Wang Xiaoqiang hovered in midair, his long hair flying, his clothes fluttering, just like the Immortal Lord of the Nine Heavens.

"Hahahaha... I, Wang Xiaoqiang, have leveled up again, I am now a powerhouse at the True Immortal Third Stage!"

In his delight, Wang Xiaoqiang laughed proudly, unaware that advancing in the True Immortal Realm was bound to encounter the Heavenly Tribulation.

Boom!

A loud clap of thunder exploded in the sky, the wind fierce and mighty.

In an instant, the sky and earth changed colors, the wind rolling the clouds, the thunder growing more urgent, numerous tiny Electric Arcs flickering, converging towards the center, like the veins of blood, gradually gathering together, forming a massive Electric Arc, hissing sharply, aggressively moving, and falling towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly became alert, realizing he had encountered the Heavenly Tribulation.

The Heavenly Tribulation is eight or nine times unavoidable!

He stood motionless, looking up at the massive thunder, his mind completely overtaken by fear, and deep inside, he felt an irresistible desolation!

If it were destiny, then it could not be defied!

Wang Xiaoqiang's heart settled, he closed his eyes, waiting for the judgment of the heavens!

In this life-and-death moment, a purple light flew through the night, swift and peerless, heading straight for Wang Xiaoqiang. Before the massive Electric Arc could fall, it whisked Wang Xiaoqiang's body, taking him soaring into the air.

The massive Electric Arc crashed down fiercely at the spot where Wang Xiaoqiang had stood, shaking the waters of the Immortal River below to shoot up ten meters high.

Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, and saw that he was being carried by a masked woman, standing on an Immortal Sword flickering with purple light, speeding forward.

Wang Xiaoqiang stared at the woman's face, suddenly stunned—this woman was none other than the Heavenly Demoness.

While the Heavenly Demoness sped the sword forward, she looked at Wang Xiaoqiang with a pained expression, "You just advanced to the True Immortal Third Stage, encountering this Heavenly Tribulation was inevitable! Moreover, this is Heaven's Punishing Thunder, nine out of ten succumb to it, whether you live or die will depend on your destiny now!"

The two rode the sword swiftly, but no matter how fast they flew, they seemed unable to escape the pursuit of the thunder and lightning.

As if the Celestial God was in a rage, the sky roared with thunder, the dark canvas of the sky was filled with lightning, tiny Electric Arcs gradually gathering, merging into each other, and a massive Electric Arc appeared again, this time, not one but seven.

Seven Electric Arcs, tearing through the dark clouds, moved simultaneously, almost at the same time, streaking straight down towards the purple Immortal Sword speeding through the night sky.

The Heavenly Demoness looked up, saw the seven Electric Arcs falling simultaneously, her complexion turned ashen in an instant, she sighed deeply, while speeding up the flight, she said to Wang Xiaoqiang, "The Seven Thunders descending simultaneously mark the final hurdle of the Heavenly Tribulation. If you can evade it, then you are not meant to perish today; if you cannot, then tonight, we will fall here!"
