Chapter 303: Three Tribulations Bone
Ke Mu Sheng had never imagined someone as honorable and forthright as Wu Yuan would agree to such a deceitful plan.
In truth, this method had been Yu Zhi’s idea. When everyone discussed it earlier, Yu Zhi immediately voiced this strategy.
No one objected.
Ke Mu Sheng acted swiftly, knowing that spreading such rumors wasn’t something one or two people could accomplish alone.
Time passed slowly, and after several days, the rumors began bearing fruit.
Surprisingly, the gossip even returned to their ears from outsiders.
They had just captured an unlucky fellow running away with a striped fragment. To save his life, the man not only surrendered the fragment but also revealed to them that Dao One Club had released the coordinates for bridge building.
Wu Yuan was pleased and directly let the man go.
While they rejoiced, Shao Ling’er’s side was anything but cheerful.
At this moment, Shao Ling’er’s expression was gloomy, as the number of people secretly watching them clearly increased.
“Senior Sister, could it be the Black White Heaven Club?” Zhi asked quietly, “Senior Sister defeated Wu Yuan before. Perhaps he holds a grudge and deliberately spread such rumors.”
Another disciple spoke up, “I think the Alliance Club is more likely. They’ve always opposed us, whereas Wu Yuan doesn’t seem like someone who would use such underhanded methods.”
Shao Ling’er clenched her teeth, saying, “No matter who’s behind it, we’ve become everyone’s target.”
They had no way of proving their innocence.
They had indeed activated a red stripe before, and the outside world didn’t know exactly what they had obtained. Furthermore, if they truly had acquired bridge building coordinates, naturally they would deny it; otherwise, they might never leave the Big Dipper Bridge Pillar alive. At this point, no one would believe them, no matter how sincere their denial.
Zhi also wore a troubled expression.
Born as a descendant of the Nan family, she was secretly sent to the Southern Dipper Bridge Pillar as a child to join Sincere One Dao—a secret she carried. Due to her exceptional talent, even without relying on her family’s support, she rose steadily within Sincere One Dao until she became one of the elite disciples chosen for the Dao One Club.
News of the Nan family’s destruction had come from her ancestor. He was among the few who survived witnessing their clan’s annihilation. On his deathbed, he’d instructed her to return to their ancestral home, reclaim their inheritance, and rebuild the Nan family.
It was only then that she understood: the Nan family hadn’t willingly sent her to Sincere One Dao. They simply had nowhere else for her to go. Nor had they withheld resources intentionally—the family itself had vanished.
Originally, she hadn’t intended to rush matters, preferring to wait until reaching the Hundred Star Realm.
But unexpectedly, an elder within the sect had taken an interest in her, suspecting she cultivated the Red Moon Method. Though he had yet to confirm his suspicions, she knew that time would inevitably reveal her secret, forcing her to act immediately. Thus, she spread information through club channels and seized the chance to leave the sect by participating in club activities.
Once she obtained her family’s legacy this time, she would never return to Sincere One Dao.
Everything had gone smoothly at first.
Though the search for the Red Moon had been difficult, costing Nan Ling her life, she was confident that once she boarded the Four Seasons Train, her familiarity with this place would surely enable her to reclaim her family’s most crucial inheritance. Yet, she never expected to become a constant target—first Black White Heaven Club, and now this rumor about bridge building coordinates.
Who exactly was after her?
And why?
She couldn’t shake the feeling that an invisible hand guided everything from the shadows.
“Senior Sister, Three Chan Heaven is here,” Zhi whispered urgently.
Shao Ling’er glanced over sharply.
In the distance, Chen Song approached slowly with two others, wearing a gentle, warm smile.
Of the two behind him, one man winked at Shao Ling’er playfully and disrespectfully, while the other—a bald man—stood silently, his expression calm and unreadable.
Seeing Chen Song approach, Shao Ling’er’s eyes turned cold as she asked, “What do you want?”
Chen Song greeted politely, saying, “Junior Sister, I’ve come to inquire if the bridge building coordinates you’ve obtained are the same as those we hold at Three Chan Heaven. If they match, please allow Three Chan Heaven priority, as the coordinates lie within our territory.”
Shao Ling’er frowned deeply, “I haven’t received any bridge building coordinates. Don’t listen to others’ false accusations.”
Chen Song laughed softly, “Junior Sister, that’s unnecessary. You and I both have clear hearts; there’s no need to hide things. I’m openly telling you that bridge building coordinates do exist within the domain of Three Chan Heaven.”
“I’ve already told you—I haven’t obtained anything,” Shao Ling’er responded firmly.
Chen Song shook his head, sighing gently, “Junior Sister is too stubborn. There’s no need for this. My intent today is merely to clear misunderstandings by confirming whether the coordinates match the ones Three Chan Heaven possesses, but Junior Sister insists on secrecy.”
“Still, I understand. After all, Bridge Law offers a path straight to heaven.”
Furious, Shao Ling’er snapped, “Did you not understand me? I told you clearly, I don’t have any bridge building coordinates.” She turned her sharp gaze onto the man behind Chen Song, adding coldly, “And you—provoke me again, and I’ll kill you.”
The man innocently raised his hands, protesting lightly, “Senior Sister, I was only greeting you.”
Shao Ling’er stared back icily, “Don’t blame me for not warning you—watch your dog eyes carefully.”
Chen Song sighed, saying, “Junior Sister, are you trying to use this excuse to attack us? Even if the three of us die here, it won’t affect the bridge-building coordinates. After all, these coordinates belong to the entirety of Three Chan Heaven, not just to us.”
Shao Ling’er glared at Chen Song. This scoundrel just spoke nonsense. No, he told outright lies. Even if the Nan family had bridge-building coordinates, what did that have to do with his Three Chan Heaven?
Zhi quickly reminded her, “Senior Sister, everyone from Three Chan Heaven acts this way. You mustn’t argue with them.” She truly didn’t want the conversation to go on; otherwise, Chen Song might forcibly pin the bridge-building coordinates on them. Right now, she was even suspicious that Three Chan Heaven had spread those rumors themselves.
Shao Ling’er turned to leave.
Chen Song called out loudly, “Junior Sister, these coordinates lie within Three Chan Heaven’s territory. You can’t seize them—they’ve long been monitored. Unless your Southern Dipper Bridge Pillar wages full-scale war against our Big Dipper Bridge Pillar and fights your way into the first Star Cloud, it’s useless.”
“Why become everyone’s target just for one set of coordinates? Junior Sister, please think clearly.”
Shao Ling’er exploded in anger: “I already told you, we have no coordinates.”
“Junior Sister, you’re still too stubborn.”
“You seek death.” Shao Ling’er could no longer hold back. She struck immediately, and star force transformed into countless mirrors surrounding Chen Song and the other two.
Chen Song pushed his two companions back with one arm and faced Shao Ling’er head-on, saying, “Junior Sister, you want to kill me to silence the truth? But even if you kill me, how can you blind the eyes of everyone present?”
“Senior Sister, don’t get entangled with him,” Zhi reminded again.
But Shao Ling’er could no longer listen.
This scoundrel was infuriating.
As Shao Ling’er attacked Chen Song, the members of the Dao Yi Club naturally went after Chen Song’s two companions.
Among the two, Mo was only at the Full Star Realm and immediately fled.
The other fled as well, shouting, “I, Lu Li, dislike fighting the most. Let’s talk this out!”
Everyone raised their heads, looking into the sky.
A battle had broken out again, and once again, it involved Shao Ling’er. This young girl looked innocent enough, but her temper was fierce indeed. First Wu Yuan, now Chen Song.
Wang Jie observed from a distance. Without asking for details, he knew Chen Song had provoked the fight.
He understood Chen Song well enough.
And Shao Ling’er, with her fiery temper, would naturally fight back. He just didn’t know how this fight would end.
High in the sky, Chen Song spoke soothing words to calm Shao Ling’er but attacked without mercy. Immediately unleashing the Formless Realm, his star force turned into swirling starlight, vast as a starry night. Shao Ling’er countered with the same technique that had defeated Wu Yuan; rippling mirrors overlapped from all directions, pressing down on Chen Song.
Yet compared to Wu Yuan, Chen Song managed to withstand the blow. He swept his star force back, forming branching patterns like countless tree limbs stretching through the void. His star force was even more powerful than Wu Yuan’s, but it was still ordinary star force—not strange star force.
His unreliable master once said that the more knowledgeable one became, the less likely one was to cultivate strange star force.
Because the fundamental truth of the universe was precisely these most ordinary forms of star force.
Shao Ling’er gave a cold snort. Facing Chen Song’s fierce strike, her star force suddenly surged. A visible storm of star force swept everything aside, like a wild wind tearing apart great trees, forcing Chen Song back step by step, his face turning grave.
The re-cultivated Shao Ling’er possessed star force far beyond ordinary humans.
Wu Yuan had managed to briefly resist with gravity star force, but Chen Song had no such option. Though his star force exceeded Wu Yuan’s, it still wasn’t enough to defend against hers.
All her star force transformed into mirrors. The melody of the “Water Moon Shattered Mirror” echoed, reverberating through the mirrors, becoming an alleyway of deadly sound.
Boom!
The void cracked, and Chen Song flew backward, coughing up blood.
The expressions of everyone watching changed. Another defeat! Chen Song was a renowned expert from Three Chan Heaven, yet even he lost.
Anyone could see Chen Song had surpassed Wu Yuan, yet he still couldn’t withstand Shao Ling’er.
At this moment, Yun Jian rushed forward, drawing out his rusted blade and slashing down fiercely, shouting, “Shu Mu Night once tried to take our Armor One Sect’s bridge method, and now you seek to take the bridge method of our Big Dipper Bridge Pillar. Never!”
Shao Ling’er glared coldly, “I’ve already told you, we never received any bridge-building coordinates.” Even as she spoke, she acted without delay, pressing forward with immense star force, yet Yun Jian split it apart with one slash.
Holding the rusted blade, Yun Jian moved swiftly through the blade-light, unaffected by Shao Ling’er’s vast star force.
Shao Ling’er had no choice but to use the “Water Moon Shattered Mirror” again, the echoing melody becoming a killing corridor.
Yun Jian suddenly paused, raising his blade upright, holding the hilt with one hand and gripping the blade with the other. He spun swiftly, delivering a “Single Blade Slash.”
Shao Ling’er narrowed her eyes. It was said Yun Jian’s rusted blade was coated in poison, and even the blade-light carried that taint. But those who truly understood knew it wasn’t poison—it was a blood-cursed star force, a strange star force. The so-called poison was more akin to a curse, invading the enemy through star force.
Thus, facing Yun Jian required greater caution than against Chen Song. The approaching Single Blade Slash’s true danger wasn’t in the blade itself, but within its star force.
Shao Ling’er exhaled lightly, [You dare to pressure me one after another—then witness the unbridgeable gap between us.]
She reached out with one hand toward Yun Jian, fingers together. [Go!] Boom.
With an earth-shattering crash, the void twisted. In the next instant, under everyone’s astonished gaze, Yun Jian fell from the sky.
All were stunned, unable to comprehend. How could this be?
Wu Yuan and Chen Song had both fallen to this very move. Yun Jian surely had been prepared, so how could he also lose?
Wang Jie stared in shock at Shao Ling’er. Her internal qi had tripled instantly. [How did she achieve this?] It meant the power of her “Water Moon Shattered Mirror” had tripled in an instant. How could Yun Jian possibly withstand it?
Wu Yuan’s voice was solemn: “This is the bridge technique of the Shao Clan from Sincere One Dao—the Three Tribulations Bone.”
“The Three Tribulations Bone includes the Sky Charging Tribulation Bone, the Abyssal Earth Tribulation Bone, and the Human Ultimate Tribulation Bone. Each bone carries a unique power. Especially the Human Ultimate Tribulation Bone; it manifests differently in every Shao Clan member.”
“When Shao Ling’er was born, her first cry shattered every mirror around, leaving everyone to wonder just what power her Human Ultimate Tribulation Bone held. Today, perhaps, we finally witness it.”
At that moment, Shao Ling’er hovered high in the sky, looking down upon all present.
