After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

Xu Qingman and the other person went into seclusion for four or five years before coming out, simply because Yu Jinchen was about to undergo another tribulation, and she had to come out to protect him.

"Father, Mother, didn't you say this seclusion would last a while? Why are you out already?"

Seeing her parents come out together, Xu Shuyi hurried to greet them.

“Your father is about to undergo a tribulation. Keep an eye on the house. I’ll go over there to protect him.”

After saying these two sentences, Xu Qingman followed Yu Jinchen and flew deeper into the mountains.

Looking at the thunderclouds gradually gathering in the sky, Xu Shuyi muttered to herself, "As expected of my father, he's about to advance again so quickly. It seems I need to work harder to catch up."

"Shuyi, you want to go into seclusion to cultivate, right? Then go in. I'll guard the house. Anyway, your parents have set up a great formation, so there won't be any danger," Xu Maoye said to him after finishing his cultivation.

Xu Shuyi shook her head. "No, Emperor Taizu, I can't go into seclusion now. My father is undergoing tribulation, and I have to stay home and oversee things."

Xu Maoye exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, that's incredible! Your father is really capable. With this, our family will have a Nascent Soul stage cultivator too!"

Xu Shuyi: "Yes, that's good. But he and my mother have both gone out, and Shuyin is in seclusion. I have to stay outside, just in case someone notices something and sneaks in."

Xu Maoye: "Yes, yes, we need to be careful."

As it turned out, Xu Shuyi's worries were indeed correct. At this moment, there were indeed more than a dozen people gathered outside the Xu family's residence, all wondering when a large mansion had been built there.

"Brother Fang, were you also drawn here by the fleeting glimpse of the tribulation cloud?"

Fang Yuanzhou, the Nascent Soul cultivator addressed as Brother Fang, nodded and replied, "Yes, Brother Yu, my cousins ​​and I were gathering herbs in the Luotian Mountains when we seemed to see a cloud of tribulation clouds coming in this direction."

I initially thought it was some demonic beast or spiritual herb undergoing tribulation, but after chasing it here, the tribulation clouds disappeared, leaving only this large mansion.

Yu Dongliang frowned and looked at the house in front of him: "That's right, my cousins ​​and I were also attracted here while we were gathering herbs in the mountains. But after we got here, there was nothing left."

Strangely, I visited this area a few years ago; back then, it was just an ordinary mountain. I had no idea who this family was or when they arrived.

After taking another look at the house, Yu Dongliang suggested, "Brother Fang, why don't we go in and pay a visit? At the very least, we should see what kind of family has come to our Lin'an City."

Fang Yuanzhou nodded in approval and said, "Alright, let's call the door together and take a look."

As soon as these people arrived at the entrance, the duty guard captain, Shen Wanjie, spotted them and immediately notified Xu Shuyi.

Xu Shuyi simply told him to keep an eye on things; as long as the other person didn't do anything, there was no need to pay attention.

However, if these people want to come in, just refuse them.

As long as they don't step outside the courtyard gates, with the protective array in place, there's nothing anyone outside can do.

Therefore, as soon as these people knocked on the door, Shen Wanjie responded quickly and refused their request to come in.

Fang and Yu felt humiliated by being refused by the host, but they were powerless to do anything about the people inside.

The two of them had already reached the Nascent Soul stage in their cultivation; they were not ignorant people.

From the faint spiritual light emanating from the protective array surrounding this residence, it was already clear that this was a high-grade magic array, one that one could not possibly budge an inch from with one's own abilities.

But it would be too disheartening to let them return empty-handed.

If a force suddenly appears near your home, and you don't know whether it's friend or foe, you're bound to feel uneasy until you figure it out completely.

Furthermore, they still felt that the calamity clouds they had just witnessed must be related to this house, so after discussing it, they decided to go outside and take a look before making any decisions.

These people searched outside the Xu family's house for several hours, but still found nothing.

Just as they were considering whether to go back and tell their elders, a loud rumbling sound suddenly erupted from the depths of the mountains, and the tribulation clouds in the sky almost covered the entire mountain range.

Judging from this situation, there must be a powerful being undergoing tribulation here.

Without any discussion, the dozen or so people flew towards the place where the tribulation clouds were the densest.

But when they arrived, all they saw was a deep crater left by lightning; they saw no one else.

Fang Yuanzhou took a deep breath and said, "Brother Yu, we must be too late. The person who was undergoing the tribulation has already left. Judging from the marks left by the splitting of this mountain, the cultivation level of that person must be above that of the two of us."

Yu Dongliang nodded with a wry smile, "Indeed, I suspect this person may have done more than just leave the body. My second uncle didn't make that kind of noise when he went through the tribulation of leaving the body a few years ago."

Fang Yuanzhou exclaimed in surprise: "Not just the Nascent Soul stage, then isn't that at least the Spirit Transformation stage?"

"Yes, judging from the size of that tribulation cloud and the power of that final thunderclap, it was stronger than my second uncle's advancement to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Forget it, this person's cultivation level is so high, even if we were to fight, we'd only suffer losses. Let's go back and talk about it later."

Fang Yuanzhou did not object to Yu Dongliang's words. What he said made sense. With the two of them, Fang Yuanzhou, and the other Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators, even if that person was undergoing a tribulation to leave the body, they could not do anything to him.

After Yu Jinchen endured the last bolt of heavenly lightning and absorbed the spiritual mist bestowed by Heaven, the couple quickly flew home.

Therefore, the couple had no idea that shortly after they left, people were attracted by the noise of the lightning tribulation.

To avoid attracting attention, they had already set up a concealment array on that mountain. If the last bolt of lightning hadn't been so powerful that it destroyed the array, no one would have known that someone had undergone tribulation there.

Back home, Yu Jinchen went straight to his room and then into the Qingxuan Space to consolidate his newly advanced cultivation, while Xu Qingman stayed outside.

That last bolt of lightning was indeed powerful and would definitely attract some interested people to investigate. If she wasn't behind him, her son probably wouldn't be able to handle it.

Xu Shuyi excitedly asked Xu Qingman, "Mother, my father is already a Nascent Soul stage ancestor, so doesn't that mean I can be considered the ancestor's own son?"

Xu Qingman gently patted him and said with a laugh, "You brat, it's your dad who advanced to the Fusion Stage, not you, what are you so excited about?"

Xu Shuyi: "Hehehe, same as always, I am my father's own son. When I go out into the world, I will be considered someone with a powerful backer."

"Alright, your mother will stay outside and watch over things for a while. Go in and cultivate, and try to improve your cultivation level."

"I understand, Mother. My sister has already reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. As her older brother, I certainly can't fall behind her, or I'll lose face."

After Xu Shuyi finished speaking, she walked towards her own courtyard.

After her son left, Xu Qingman sat down in the front yard, brewed a pot of spiritual tea, and leisurely drank it.

However, this leisurely life didn't last long before Shen Wanjie rushed over.

"Master, I just spotted several unidentified figures outside the courtyard, seemingly discussing something."
