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

After returning from the Yunjing Mountain Secret Realm, Xu Qingman and her husband kept their promise and took their two young sons, parents, and grandparents on a nearly year-long adventure before finally settling down to focus on cultivation.

Xu Qinghe, on the other hand, was found and taken back by his master as soon as he came out of the secret realm.

With the many good things obtained in the secret realm, the previous spiritual vein was also revitalized, and Xu Family Village is now full of spiritual energy.

In less than fifty years, Xu Shunu and Xu Shuyang have both reached the late stage of the Integration Realm, while Shen Wanxing and other disciples have also made progress.

The disciples he later took in were also very outstanding. Zhang Wanlin, Xiao Wanli, Zhao Wanhe, and Zheng Wanlin had all reached the Nascent Soul stage, and even the least outstanding one, Miao Wanshan, had reached the late Golden Core stage.

Especially Chen Wanxin, who was recruited last, can be said to have surpassed others and was already at the peak of the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

As for Xu Jingheng and the other three, perhaps because they were too old when they started cultivating, even after so many years, Xu Jingheng, who has the highest cultivation level, is only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Xu Meifen was at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, while Xu Maoye and his wife were at the mid-Golden Core stage and the late-Foundation Establishment stage, respectively.

The old lady probably really has no interest in cultivation. She has been on the path of cultivation for almost three hundred years, but her cultivation level is still stuck at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, Xu Qingman never tried to discourage her. Everyone has their own ideas. The old lady was quite satisfied with her current state. At worst, she could just eat a fruit from the Tree of Life when her lifespan was nearing its end.

Even if the old lady never achieves the elixir in her lifetime, with this additional five hundred years of lifespan, plus the five hundred years after she establishes her foundation, she can happily live for a thousand years.

Nearly fifty years later, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky above Xu Family Village, covering the entire village and even the Luotian Mountains near Xu Family Village in an instant.

The enormous roar startled almost everyone in the Xu family.

Only Xu Shuyin and Xu Qingyao remained immersed in their cultivation and were not awakened.

After returning from the secret realm, Xu Qingman finally gathered enough materials to set up a lightning-avoiding array on the hillside of the Xu family's residence, specifically for passing through lightning tribulations.

Since this formation was created, the Xu family no longer needs to go outside to undergo tribulations.

"Shunuo and Shuyang, you two keep an eye on the house. Give the order to open all the protective arrays. No one is allowed to enter or leave before your eldest brother finishes his tribulation."

After giving her instructions, Xu Qingman stood with her husband outside the formation to protect their son.

Although it is safer at home than outside, and there is a protective formation around the estate, it is difficult for ordinary people to break into the Xu family.

Xu Qingman was very confident in the grand formation she had personally set up. It could be said that apart from those few Mahayana cultivators, even those in the Tribulation Transcending stage would need three or four people working together to have a chance of breaking in.

Those powerful cultivators who have transcended tribulation and reached the Mahayana stage rarely leave their sects. They have all cultivated to this level, and each of them is aiming for ascension. They don't even have enough time to cultivate, so why would they go out?

Unless you encounter a secret realm like Cloudscape Mountain or Boundless Sea that has opened, or you are looking for resources.

The Luotian Mountains don't have any good resources, and even the spiritual energy isn't very rich, so naturally they don't attract the powerful figures from those major sects.

Furthermore, according to her understanding, there wasn't a single cultivator in the Linchuan City area who had even undergone the Tribulation Transcending stage, let alone those at the Mahayana stage.

But things can change in an unforeseen way. Xu Qinghe's tribulation must not be interrupted. If it is interrupted, at best he will have to wait for the next opportunity, and at worst he may face the risk of his cultivation regressing.

That's why Xu Qingman and her husband took it so seriously.

After their parents left, Xu Shunu and his brother immediately activated all the major formations and instructed the two guard captains, Shen Wanjie and Shen Wanyun, to keep a close watch on everyone in the manor.

First, people are not allowed to go to the hillside where they undergo tribulation, as those with low cultivation levels cannot withstand such pressure and may be in danger.

Another issue is that people can't recognize each other when leaving the manor. Although there's a protective formation that prevents outsiders from getting in, people inside can still leave.

They need to be extra careful, especially at times like these. If someone who can't stand the Xu family's good fortune attacks those who go out, none of them will be able to go out and rescue them.

The commotion caused by Xu Family Village also alarmed all the cultivators in the Lin'an City area.

In less than half an incense stick's time, many cultivators began to arrive around Xu Family Village.

Most of these people came to watch the spectacle, but there were also some with ulterior motives.

Unfortunately, as soon as they got within two meters of Xu Family Village, they were bounced away by an invisible elastic force.

And upon closer inspection, one can faintly sense a terrifying killing intent.

Anyone with even a basic understanding of formations could tell from this that a highly skilled master had set up extremely powerful killing and defensive formations around Xu Family Village.

After this test, these people were shocked to realize that the Xu family, which had always been virtually invisible, actually possessed such strength.

Not only does it have a high-level array master, but it also has someone currently undergoing the tribulation of the Tribulation Transcending stage.

If this person successfully overcomes the tribulation, the Xu family will instantly become the dominant force in Linchuan City.

Even so, they were powerless to stop it; none of them could break through these few large formations alone.

Among these people, the one who least wanted to be overshadowed by the Xu family was the Supreme Elder of the Southern Heaven Sect, the Cave Heaven Ancestor, who was at the mid-stage of the Void Realm. There was also an elder in the sect who had just advanced to the early stage of the Void Realm a few years ago.

Previously, the Nantian Sect was the strongest force in the entire Linchuan City and Luotian Mountain Range. Apart from the Qingxuan Sect, other cultivation forces all acknowledged that the Nantian Sect was the leader.

Now that the Xu family had suddenly appeared and was trying to overpower him, the Cave Heaven Ancestor felt as if his heart was being burned by a raging fire.

Just as he was feeling anxious, the Cave Heaven Ancestor saw that his old nemesis, the Southern Mountain Ancestor, had also come over.

"Fellow Daoist Nanshan, who in the Xu family is undergoing tribulation? Why is there such a commotion?"

The Old Ancestor of Nanshan glanced at him sideways, "You arrived before me, how could I possibly know if you don't even know?"

"Isn't your Qingxuan Sect the closest to here? How could you agree to have your sect's area suddenly occupied by someone else, and such a powerful family at that?"

After saying that, the Cave Ancestor clicked his tongue twice, as if the Qingxuan Sect was useless.

The Old Ancestor of Nanshan snorted before replying, "You know you're saying they're powerful. Besides, even though they're powerful, they haven't bullied my Qingxuan Sect. With such a family as neighbors, my Qingxuan Sect can only welcome them."

While the Old Ancestor of Nanshan said this on the surface, he thought to himself, "You old fool, you think you can sow discord between me and the Xu family? Don't you know that I've been friends with the Xu family for a long time?"

"If the Xu family becomes even stronger, I should only be happy. Why would I be jealous? I'm not that stupid."

Before coming here, the Old Ancestor of Nanshan had asked Yu Jinchen and learned that the one who was about to undergo tribulation was Xu Shuyi, the eldest son of the Xu family.

But he just wouldn't tell these people; he let them guess.

With the mindset that everyone else is confused but he alone is awake, the Old Ancestor of Nanshan excitedly put his hands on his hips and looked up at the sky.
