The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"If you hadn't come, I would have forgotten that I was supposed to undergo tribulation. Now I can't stay hidden behind the scenes anymore," Chen Xuan muttered helplessly, and then took the initiative to come to an open space.

"It's...it's just a young punk!"

"Celestial Immortal realm cultivation?! He's only a Celestial Immortal?"

"I wouldn't even dare say I could survive such a tribulation... He's just a Celestial Immortal? I could crush countless Celestial Immortals with a single blow!"

"Yes, what extraordinary, heaven-defying genius must one be to encounter such a terrifying tribulation?!" Beside the carefree male guard stood a beautiful and charming woman, who spoke softly with her lips slightly parted.

Upon hearing this, the guard smiled obsequiously at the beautiful woman beside him and said:

"Hehe, alright, my wife, come and try this. This is a treasure I finally found. It's said to be extremely beneficial for improving cultivation... As for that kid, although he does have some talent, whether he can make it to the end safely on this perilous path of cultivation is still unknown. Why do you care about him!"

However, before he could finish speaking, a crisp "snap" was heard.

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw a graceful and elegant woman walking slowly towards them from a distance.

Of course, most people in the immortal realm look young, so calling her a woman is only because of her womanly attire.

If you look closely, you'll notice that the beautiful woman and that delicate girl bear some resemblance.

However, the beautiful woman's face was as cold as ice, her eyes sharp as knives. Without saying a word, she raised her jade hand and slapped the careless guard hard across the face.

"Snapped!"

"Eat, eat, all you know is how to eat! Don't you know where you are? This is the Ning family, a prestigious family in the Immortal Realm! And Miss Ning is here right now. We can accept your boasting at home, you're just a lowly son-in-law, but this is the Ning family, understand?!"

As the beautiful woman spoke, she grew angrier and angrier, and went up to slap the man across the face repeatedly.

"No, Mother, please don't hit me, listen to me..."

"Who's your mother? I don't acknowledge your identity. A piece of trash like you isn't even worthy of a toe of my Xiaoyun! I really don't know what the old man was thinking!"

As she spoke, Shi Meitong slapped him a few more times. Seeing this, Yun Ziling frowned and walked a few steps away, watching coldly.

……

"boom!!"

A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a bucket, struck Chen Xuan directly, instantly hitting his body.

In an instant, light burst forth, and Chen Xuan's figure was engulfed by lightning. A series of crackling sounds could be heard, as if the lightning tribulation was raging wildly.

"I knew it! How could a mere Celestial Immortal possibly withstand such an attack!" Upon seeing this, the guard Duan Fei quickly shook off the beautiful woman and stepped aside, saying.

If he didn't truly love Yun Ziling, he, the mighty Dragon King, would never have become a live-in son-in-law and been so humiliated.

However, all of this is only temporary. When he finally displays his prowess in the future, things will naturally...

However, when the lightning dissipated, Chen Xuan's figure reappeared. Although his clothes were somewhat torn, his aura was even stronger.

"This...how is this possible? He actually withstood such a powerful bolt of lightning!"

"Who exactly is this person? How could he possess such astonishing strength!"

The onlookers gasped again, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at Chen Xuan. They never imagined that this seemingly unremarkable young man could stand firm under such a terrifying lightning tribulation.

"Hmph, this is only the first stage. There are many more to come. This kid only has the strength of a Celestial Immortal. There is absolutely no way he can pass through it!" Duan Fei said disdainfully.

"Dude, if I'm not mistaken, you're also a Celestial Immortal, right? Did you undergo tribulation when you broke through? How come other geniuses are worthless in your eyes?"

Seeing Duan Fei constantly belittling people, some people couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hey, trash is trash. Does that mean he's not trash just because he managed to hold on for a bit?" Duan Fei immediately retorted.

"You...you're absolutely unreasonable!"

"Yes, how could a good-for-nothing who looks down on others come from our upper-class family!"

"Whose disciple are you?"

Duan Fei's words immediately aroused public anger.

Everyone present was a respectable person. Even if they were jealous of Chen Xuan's talent, they would never dare to mock him here. On the contrary, it was this other good-for-nothing who dared to spout such nonsense...

Yu Guili's expression, however, was not very good.

Looking at Chen Xuan undergoing his tribulation in the air, he couldn't help but sigh, "The Space Immortal Venerable's eyes aren't so bad after all. This Chen Xuan... is indeed a genius! At least when I was at his level, I didn't have this heavenly tribulation, nor this strength..."

Thinking of this, he began to be wary of Chen Xuan, and even worried that Chen Xuan might pose a threat to his position and plans.

"No, I absolutely cannot let someone even more talented than me..."

Yu Guili grew increasingly uneasy. He decided to find a way to eliminate or cripple Chen Xuan as soon as possible to prevent future troubles.

……

As the lightning bolts fell one after another, Chen Xuan remained as unyielding as a stubborn rock in a raging storm.

Each bolt of lightning was accompanied by a deafening roar, and the dazzling light illuminated his figure clearly. The surrounding air crackled and hissed as it was ionized, as if telling the story of the terror and cruelty of this tribulation.

But Chen Xuan remained as steady as a rock.

He closed his eyes tightly and focused all his energy on mobilizing the spiritual power within his body, which flowed rapidly through his meridians, forming layer upon layer of spiritual power absorption shields.

Although the shield trembled and shattered under the impact of lightning, it could always regenerate a new shield at critical moments, stubbornly resisting and absorbing the power of the lightning tribulation.

Soon, as the last lightning bolt struck, Chen Xuan roared, gathering all his spiritual power in his palm and thrusting it upwards. A dazzling light shot into the sky, colliding fiercely with the lightning.

In an instant, light burst forth, illuminating the entire space so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it.

After the light faded, Chen Xuan landed slowly on the ground without even panting.

"It's just average. With your trashy tribulation, I don't even need to call for outside help! But..." Chen Xuan looked down at his tattered clothes and shook his head helplessly.

"Such a perfect body has attracted a crowd, but fortunately, nothing too outrageous was revealed, which is why it attracted the attention of Emperor Shenhe."
