This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

Upon seeing this, Ronan was somewhat mesmerized. His hurried expression instantly calmed down, and he found a corner to quietly watch Su Yu practice her swordsmanship.

These past few days, Ronan hasn't been cultivating; he's been searching for the secrets of the Luo family.

Su Yu naturally stayed behind Ronan's courtyard.

He practiced swordsmanship from time to time, and Ronan, seeing this, naturally wouldn't disturb him, but would obediently stay aside and watch attentively.

Although he couldn't understand the mysterious sword moves, the fairy's sword dance was incredibly pleasing to the eye.

If he didn't have a mission, he wouldn't be running around like that.

Ronan just watched quietly.

Not long after, when Su Yu stopped, he ran over excitedly.

Su Yu put away the white crane, walked to the bench on the stone platform of the pavilion, and slowly sat down.

"How's the search going?"

Ronan immediately sat down opposite him, a hint of joy on his face.

“These past few days I’ve asked my father and then looked through the ancient books in the library. I’ve pretty much figured it out.”

“A long time ago, my Luo family did have an extremely glorious period. At that time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that we were the number one family on the continent.”

"Oh? Go on." Su Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.

"About 170,000 years ago, my Luo family ancestor was just a bodyguard in a small town's escort agency. He lived a peaceful and stable life, carrying out his escort duties in an orderly manner."

"But one night, while he was on a delivery mission, he passed through a desolate mountain wilderness when a meteor fell from the sky, and he obtained a magical artifact from it."

"A celestial artifact?!" Su Yu's expression hardened.

Good heavens, I actually found a celestial artifact? What incredible luck!

If you could obtain a celestial artifact to recognize you as its master, you would be able to roam freely in the True Spirit Continent!

"That's right, it's a celestial artifact. What's even more unbelievable is that the ancestor actually gained the recognition of the celestial artifact and, with the help of its power, comprehended the laws and reached the True God Realm in just a few hundred years."

"Finally, in that era, he wielded a celestial artifact and became the strongest person on the continent, creating the Luo family and witnessing the grand spectacle of the nineteen true gods of the Luo family, making it the number one family on the continent."

"The Luo family led the continent for nine thousand years. After nine thousand years, the ancestor felt that he could no longer make progress, so he prepared for another four thousand years to transcend the tribulation and become an immortal, ascending to the upper realm to pursue the Great Dao."

"However, during the tribulation of immortality, the ancestor who wielded the immortal artifact unexpectedly perished."

"How could someone wielding a celestial artifact still perish in the lightning tribulation? Does having a celestial artifact make the lightning tribulation even more dangerous?" Su Yu asked in confusion.

The Ascension Tribulation is just an Ascension Tribulation at most. It can be easily overcome when facing a true immortal artifact, right?

But the ancestor of the Luo family actually perished?

Ronan shook his head. "I don't know either, but according to the records in the ancient books, the ancestors of the Luo family jointly determined that the immortal artifact did not give the lightning tribulation any special enhancement, but was a normal lightning tribulation."

"Several thousand years later, when the second true god of my Luo family, wielding a celestial artifact, ascended to immortality but perished in the tribulation again, my Luo family ancestor sensed something was amiss."

"The Ascension Tribulation is the most terrifying tribulation of lightning. Throughout history, very few people have been able to ascend to immortality. However, my Luo family possesses an immortal artifact and is destined by fate."

"So the situation remained unclear. Was it the difficulty of becoming an immortal or the celestial artifact? After my Luo family's True God could no longer make any progress in strength, some people chose to ascend."

"Thus, the third, the fourth, the fifth, and all the way up to the eighth true god all perished in the tribulation of lightning."

"In the end, all these signs of failure inevitably reminded people of immortal artifacts, so the Luo family's true god abandoned the use of immortal artifacts to help him in his subsequent tribulations."

"But unfortunately, when other true gods of the Luo family tried to undergo tribulation, none of them succeeded."

Su Yu listened, and actually really wanted to say something.

Perhaps they were just too incompetent to survive the ordeal?

Seeing Su Yu's silence, as if she were being misunderstood by the fairy sister, Ronan hurriedly explained:

"My Luo family's ancestor attained enlightenment through immortal artifacts and inherited the immortal path. Their strength far surpasses that of the true gods on the continent. Even though many true gods have perished, they are still the number one family on the continent."

"Therefore, it is impossible to be unable to overcome tribulation simply because one is weak."

"And in that era, some people on the continent successfully transcended tribulation and ascended to immortality."

"Gradually, with the changing times, true gods became scarce in my Luo family, and we became increasingly desolate until now, hundreds of thousands of years later, we have become like this."

"So what secrets is your Luo family hiding right now?"

Ronan took a sip of tea and said solemnly:

"Although my Luo family has declined, that immortal artifact has been passed down through generations."

"However, at a certain point in time, for some unknown reason, the immortal artifact fell into a state of self-sealing, unable to unleash its immortal power, and became just an ornament."

"This is also the most important reason for the decline of my Luo family."

"And it is currently sealed in the ancestral hall of my Luo family."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow. The Luo family's immortal artifact had been left behind, but it was unusable?

"What is that celestial artifact?"

"I don't know. There's no detailed record of it in the family's ancient books. It only says that it's a celestial artifact," Ronan said, shaking his head.

"It seems the Luo family doesn't want people to know what a celestial artifact really is?"

"Fairy Sister, what should we do now?"

"What should we do? Naturally, we should go to that ancestral hall and take a look, to see the magical artifact."

"Go see the immortal artifact?" Ronan was not surprised.

"But my Luo family's ancestor is guarding that place. I only learned from my father yesterday that the ancestor is actually at the peak of the Saint Realm and has even begun to touch the Emperor Realm!"

"Can we go in?"

"It doesn't matter, I have my own way."

Su Yu glanced at Ronan, seemingly unintentionally.

"Ronan, haven't you ever wondered if your missing luck might be related to that celestial artifact?"

"My luck is related to immortal artifacts?" Ronan was completely baffled.

"But I've never seen that magical artifact before, and I have no connection with it whatsoever."

Su Yu gently shook her head, "Perhaps those ancestors of the Luo family back then were like you, showing signs of a lack of fortune."

"That may be why I have been unable to successfully overcome the tribulation."

"what??"

Su Yu's words caused Ronan's expression to change drastically.

Did those ancestors also experience a lack of good fortune?

That's quite possible!

Damn it, maybe it really is because of a lack of luck that he couldn't ascend successfully.

Does that mean that even if he breaks through to become a true god, he won't be able to ascend to immortality?

"No! Fairy sister, you have to save me!"

"I don't want to perish under the lightning tribulation! I want to become an immortal!"

Su Yu rolled her eyes at him.

"What kind of immortal are you? You've only just entered the Spirit Sea Realm, how can you become an immortal?"

"That's just wishful thinking."

"......"

"Alright, that's settled then. We'll go check out that ancestral hall tomorrow night. You can prepare now and see if there's anything you need to bring."
