“Weaken the Heavenly Tribulation?” Zhao Yanzi opened her eyes wide.

“The Heavenly Tribulation is a Lightning Tribulation, and my Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll is a Five Elemental Lightning Cultivation Technique. I should be able to weaken some of it if I tried my best.”

Zhao Yanzi thought for a bit and shook her head. “We don’t know what kind of tribulation he is faced with this time. If it is the simplest Five Lightning Tribulation, which is the Wind Cloud Thunder Lightning Fire Tribulation, he should be able to pass with his power. However, if it is the Ninth Heaven Purple Cloud Tribulation or something more powerful, he might be in danger.”

Hao Ren thought that the Heavenly Tribulation was a simple Lightning Tribulation, but it seemed like there was more to it. Perhaps it was the case for human cultivators, but for the Dragon Tribe, the Heavenly Tribulation was more complicated than a Lightning Tribulation since it was also a ‘Transformation Tribulation.”

“Your Class President used to have outstanding grades?” Zhao Yanzi suddenly changed the subject.

“It sounded like she was always at the No.1 in her grade when she studied here,” Hao Ren answered.

Zhao Yanzi looked down quietly and suddenly said, “So, I wouldn’t lose to her if I become the No.1 student in my grade?”

“What do you mean by… Lose to her?” Hao Ren asked.

“Nothing.” Zhao Yanzi looked out of the window.

The Ferrari arrived at Zhao Yanzi’s house. Hao Ren parked the car outside and went in with Zhao Yanzi.

Zhao Hongyu walked down from the attic and called them for dinner. She was just waiting for them to get back to start dinner.

It was a little quiet since Zhao Guang wasn’t there. Zhao Hongyu mentioned that her studio needed some help from Hao Ren again to which Hao Ren agreed.

“Auntie, Third Uncle’s Heavenly Tribulation is really a big deal this time, right?” After some small talk, Hao Ren asked.

“Yes. We have been preparing for Zhao Kuo’s Heavenly Tribulation for over half a year now. He sensed that it was coming a year ago, and East Ocean has been putting in a lot of effort for the preparation,” Zhao Hongyu said.

She thought for a bit and added, “Just the preparation for this Heavenly Tribulation has used up about one-third of East Ocean’s treasures and accumulations.”

One-third of the East Ocean’s treasures and accumulations! Hao Ren was astonished as he knew the East Ocean Dragon Clan had countless treasures. One-third was an enormous amount!

“The Heavenly Dragon Realm is like the Soul Formation Realm for human cultivators; they are all equivalent to the Earthly Immortal Realm. There hasn’t been a Heavenly Dragon among the Water Elemental Dragon Clans for over 1000 years.

“Heavenly Dragon…” Hao Ren frowned.

“The most recent one happened 600 years ago when the Metal Elemental Dragon Clan spent thousands of years of their accumulations on helping an elder to get into the Heavenly Dragon Realm. I heard that golden lights came down as countless treasures poured from the sky. Just because of this elder, the Metal Elemental Dragon Clan is much more powerful than the other clans. Plus, another of their privileges is to be able to reach Eighth Heaven,” Zhao Hongyu explained patiently.

Zhao Yanzi listened very carefully. She wasn’t aware of these things as well.

“The Eighth Heaven?” Hao Ren asked.

“The dragons can fly, but as rules go, we can’t exceed Seventh Heaven, or we will be punished. However, the Metal Elemental Dragon Clan has the privilege of flying to Eighth Heaven. Above that would be the Heavenly Immortals’ turf, and Ninth Heaven is where we could never step in,” Zhao Hongyu said.

“Seventh Heaven, Eighth Heaven… Aren’t they just names? What is the use of going that high anyway?” Zhao Yanzi murmured.

Zhao Hongyu laughed, “You think it’s just a matter of height? There are all kinds of immortal mountains and immortal clouds on Fifth Heaven and beyond. The cultivations sects live there, and the treasures on Eighth Heaven surely would be better than those on Seventh Heaven. Won’t it be a pity if you aren’t unable to get them?”

Zhao Yanzi pouted quietly.

Hao Ren was a bit astonished to hear about the immortal mountains, clouds, and human cultivators on Fifth Heaven.

The Metal Elemental Dragon Clan could get to Eighth Heaven. No wonder Qin Shaoyang, who was a Metal Elemental Dragon, was so arrogant.

East Ocean was spending one-third of their savings to help Zhao Guang with his Heavenly Tribulation in order to get an opportunity like this as well. There weren’t many dragons in the Metal Elemental Dragon Clan, so they could all get to Eighth Heaven since one of the elders had become a Heavenly Dragon. On the other hand, the Water Elemental Dragon Clan had a lot of members, so not everyone could have this privilege if Zhao Kuo got to ascend successfully; only East Ocean would be able to go to Eighth Heaven.

By that time, East Ocean would be able to quickly recover with all the treasures that were hard to find in the mortal world. They might even get their hands on a lot of Mystic Crystals. If that happened, they wouldn’t be afraid of West Ocean at all.

But the reality was that the Heavenly Tribulation was extremely dangerous. Most of the powerful Qian-level Masters couldn’t get through it.

Zhao Kuo was fighting to pursue a higher realm as well as a better future for East Ocean.

“What do you mean by the Immortal Cultivation Sects then? How come you never told me about this before, Mom?” Zhao Yanzi blinked.

“You need to focus on your studies!” Zhao Hongyu reached out to press her finger on the tip of Zhao Yanzi’s nose.

However, she kept on explaining, “The cultivation sects, which are the remaining human cultivator forces after the Great War a few hundred years ago, used immense array formations and transferred their entire sects onto Fifth Heaven and up from the mortal world. Of course, not everyone was aware of this. The information was of high confidentiality in order to avoid conflict with the Dragon Tribe.

“Um,” Hao Ren nodded.

Human cultivators had already handed the land over to the Dragon Tribe. If the Dragon Tribe were to seek more trouble with them, a serious war might break out.

Zhao Hongyu smiled softly at Hao Ren who was frowning. “Don’t overthink this. There isn’t much that you can help with regarding the Heavenly Tribulation. However, I need your help with some company matters. I’ll give you some design and architecture-related books to read over when you have some time.”

“Ok, Auntie.” Hao Ren nodded.

Zhao Hongyu didn’t think that Hao Ren would be helpful with the Heavenly Tribulation, but she still appreciated his attention on East Ocean’s future. She saw him as a family member, and Hao Ren started to see himself as a part of East Ocean as well. This was something that she really liked to see.

Zhao Yanzi was still young, but Zhao Hongyu knew that she would have to hand her daughter over and let Hao Ren take care of Zhao Yanzi eventually.

She hoped that her daughter could have a peaceful life.

Zhao Hongyu looked at Zhao Yanzi in pity and glimpsed at Hao Ren. Then, she sighed slightly.

This was none of Zhao Yanzi’s concern as the daily homework was already enough for her to deal with. Regarding the fights and wars, she was just curious and wouldn’t even keep it in mind.

But the hug from Hao Ren today would for sure bring down the number of love letters she would be receiving. She smiled cheerfully at the thought of this. Then, she suddenly stared at Hao Ren.
