Transcending the Nine Heavens

oison techniques; the poison techniques that Le’er is learning now originated from him.”

“I see,” said Zi Xieqing as she nodded.

“Secondly, no matter what weapon he uses, you must be wary of his sword!” Chu Yang was especially serious as he continued, “The sword intent of the Nine Tribulations Sword is with him! This is also what I’m most worried about — the only thing that can cause you fatal harm!”

Zi Xieqing nodded somberly and replied with a serious tone, “I will be careful.”

No matter how arrogant Zi Xieqing was, she didn’t dare look down on the Nine Tribulations Sword!

Because it was something even that divine presence had to respect and fear… the Sovereign’s sword!

What kind of power its ultimate form could display unsettled even Zi Xieqing.

“Third is what I would like to ask a favor of you.” Chu Yang said seriously, “That sword intent is very important to me, and even more so to the Nine Tribulations Sword.
If you can… seize it from him!”

Zi Xieqing contemplated for a moment before saying, “I cannot guarantee success but I will try.”

Chu Yang straightened his back and said formally, “And fourth! If seizing the sword intent is dangerous, then don’t go for it anymore! You must promise me this! You should understand, if something happens to you because of this, the resulting inner demons will ruin me for life.”

Chu Yang knew that Zi Xieqing would definitely try for it; he himself also hoped fervently that she would.

However, he would never use Zi Xieqing’s life and safety as the condition.

Hence, he brought up himself, using this to threaten Zi Xieqing.

He knew that he mattered a lot to Zi Xieqing.

Zi Xieqing laughed wryly, rather resigned as she said, “You’ve already put it that way, I can’t possibly ruin your entire life, can I?” She had a look of resignation on her but a hint of sweet tenderness crossed her eyes.

“You’re not allowed to get injured!” Chu Yang did not let up, his eyes bright and smoldering.
“Or at least, not because of the sword intent!”

“Fine, fine… So long-winded.” Zi Xieqing raised both hands in defeat.

The two of them exchanged a look before bursting into laughter.

“Other than that, I have something for you,” said Chu Yang softly as he relaxed.

“Something for me?” Zi Xieqing raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, “What is it?”

“It’s the Nine Tribulations Pill.” Chu Yang retrieved six bottles made of Purple Crystal core from his bosom.
He instructed, “These are Nine Tribulations Pills that I got the Sword Spirit to refine using the elixirs from the upper world that you gave me.
There are six in total; you can recover your injuries quickly if you consume one.
If you consume it in the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, with the spiritual energy there, your cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds too.”

“You used all the herbs I gave you to refine pills for me? To return them to me?” Zi Xieqing frowned, about to lose her temper.

“Just a small portion!” Chu Yang stated seriously.

“Even so!” Zi Xieqing was rather upset.

“You… you can’t possibly always worry for me, do things for me, clear a path for me… but not allow me to do even a little something for you, right?” Chu Yang let out a wry laugh, looking at her seriously, “Do you… really think I’m so useless? So hopeless? So unworthy?”

Zi Xieqing gritted her teeth and snatched the Nine Tribulations Pills from him, fuming as she said, “You don’t have to go on! I’ll accept it, will that do! What a petty man! I’ve never seen anyone as calculative as you.”

“Just you wait, when I’m stronger than you, I’ll definitely not be calculative with you!” Chu Yang smiled at her.

“When you’re stronger than me…” Zi Xieqing blanked out for a moment.
Then, she laughed lightly and, as if she was joking, said, “Alright! I’ll wait for the day where you become stronger than me.”

“You’ll have to reward me when I do!” Chu Yang gave a sneaky laugh.
“If I’m stronger than you, what will you reward me with?”

Zi Xieqing burst into giggles.
She looked at Chu Yang, as if amused.
“You? Do you really think there would be such a day, hmm? Do you know how many tens of thousands of years I took to reach this level of cultivation… And you’re only twenty this year.
No matter how much of a genius you are, do you think you can catch up to me? When you’ve reached the level of Supreme Martial Artist and above and sunk the heavens and broken through the void, you’ll understand that this mindset of yours is nothing but daydreaming!”

“What are you laughing at? I’m serious!” Chu Yang said with utmost seriousness, “Even if I’m not stronger than you, surely I should at least set a target?”

Zi Xieqing was still beside herself with laughter.
“Hahaha…”

“You do look down on me after all.” Chu Yang felt hurt immediately, repressed beyond belief.

“Fine, fine… If you become stronger than me, I…” Zi Xieqing swiveled her eyes, completely not taking it seriously when she offered, “Then I’ll treat you with equal standing, how about that?”

“That won’t do! When I’m stronger than you, it is only right that we’re on equal standing.
In fact, I should be looking down on you.
Why has it become a condition in your eyes?”

Chu Yang was very dissatisfied.

Zi Xieqing let out a ‘hmph!’ before she said loftily, “Fine! If there ever comes a day where your cultivation is stronger than mine! Then I’ll promise you anything you want unconditionally!”

“Anything?” Chu Yang’s eyes brightened.
“Including spanking your bottom? Hehe, by then, if I want to return all the abuse you’ve given my butt recently, you’ll be willing to let me too?”

Zi Xieqing blushed but still said, “That’s right! Of course, you can if you want to return it all! I did say ‘anything’! No matter what you ask me to do or how to do it, I’ll do it!”

“Anything I want?” Chu Yang raised his eyebrows.
