While the entire All Heavens and Myriad Realms is in an uproar, the culprit of it all is silently plotting how to let Soft Feather become the Thousand Years' First Sage.
---
After Soft Feather and I depart from the battle, a newfound excitement courses through our veins. We have successfully disrupted the balance of power in the cultivation world, and the possibilities seem endless.
Then we sit down to and start to plot against the heavens, I can't help but feel a sense of exhilaration at the prospect of challenging the established order.
"So, what's the plan?" Soft Feather asks eagerly.
"I have a few ideas," I reply, "but we need to be careful. We're going up against the heavens themselves, after all."
Soft Feather nods, her eyes shining with determination. "I'm ready for anything. What do you have in mind?"
"I've written you a Sermon Script about the Path of Heaven," I say, handing her a scroll. "It contains profound mysteries about the world, you can use in your Sermon after you pass the Heavenly Tribulation of the Eighth stage. It will help to spread our message and gain more followers."
As we continue to plot against the heavens, I realize that Soft Feather will soon face the Heavenly Tribulation of the Eighth Stage. Her, facing this tribulation, is no different from suicide.
"Soft Feather, to protect you from the Heavenly Tribulation, I have something special for you," I say as I pull out my World Protection Robe from my storage ring. "This robe is strong enough to withstand the power of the Heavenly Way. With this, you'll be able to safely pass the Eighth Stage Heavenly Tribulation and become an immortal."
To protect her from harm, I offer her to lend her my World Protection Robe. This robe is imbued with a power that can withstand the Heavenly Way itself. It's strong enough to resist even the most destructive forces of the heavens.
Soft Feather looks at me in amazement as I offer her the World Protection Robe. "Dear, are you sure?" she asks, eyes wide with wonder.
I nod confidently. "Yes, I am sure. This robe will protect you from harm during the Heavenly Tribulation. It's strong enough to withstand even the most powerful Heavenly Way attacks."
I smile at her, feeling a sense of pride in my ability to protect her. "Just be careful during the Heavenly Tribulation," I warn her. "It will be a dangerous and challenging experience, but I believe you have what it takes to overcome it."
Soft Feather nods resolutely, her determination shining in her eyes. "I will do my best," she declares. "And with the World Protection Robe, I know I will be safe."
We continue to plan our attack on the heavens, discussing strategies and tactics to outsmart our enemies. As we work, I can't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. We are about to embark on a journey that will change the course of history, and I am honored to be a part of it.
After we finish our other preperations I reach into my storage ring and pull out the World Protection Robe. The robe glows with a faint golden light, indicating the powerful array woven into its fabric. "Soft Feather, take this. It will protect you from harm during your Heavenly Tribulation."
Soft Feather's eyes widen in amazement as she takes the robe from me. "Wow, this is amazing! Thank you, dear!"
She quickly slips off her outer robe, revealing her slender figure clad in a tight-fitting cultivator's uniform. I can't help but appreciate the sight before me, but I quickly shake my head and try to focus on the task at hand.
Soft Feather carefully puts on the World Protection Robe, which fits her perfectly, due to a built in formation that always adjusts its size to the one that wears it. As she fastens the robe, her movements are graceful and fluid, accentuating her curves in all the right places. I try to avert my gaze, but I can't help but steal a glance every now and then.
"Zenith, how do I look?" Soft Feather asks, twirling around in the robe.
"You look great," I reply, trying to keep my tone neutral.
Soft Feather giggles and gives me a playful wink. "Thank you, Zenith. Now I feel so safe, that I am ready to begin with the Heavenly Tribulation."
Before I can even respond, she leans in and kisses me passionately. The sensation is electric, and I feel a surge of desire coursing through my veins.
As we kiss, I can feel her hands running through my hair, and I wrap my arms around her waist, pulling her closer to me. The kiss deepens, and I can feel our bodies pressed together as we lose ourselves at the moment.
The World Protection Robe, due to it being my living item, it feels like it's amplifying our connection, as if it's bringing us closer together both physically and emotionally. I can feel our energies merging, and I know that we're destined to be together.
When our lips meet, Soft Feather moans softly, her body responding to the intensity of our kiss. I can feel her hands moving down my back, pulling me in closer to her.
The act of both of us pulling each other has the consequences of her soft breasts now pressing against me. This feeling is heavenly.
I break the kiss for a moment, looking deep into her eyes. "You're welcome," I say, my voice husky with desire. "Anything for you, my love."
Soft Feather smiles at me, her eyes shining with affection. "I love you," she whispers, before pulling me into another deep, passionate kiss.
As we kiss, I can feel the wetness between her thighs growing. It's a testament to the intensity of our connection, and I can't help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction. We are meant to be together, and nothing can stand in our way.
Our kiss lasts for several minutes long, heated moments before we finally pull away from each other, both of us panting with desire. We look at each other for a moment, the intensity of our emotions palpable in the air. But we both know now is not the right time, because now the for a Tribulation!
"I love you too," I say, my heart filled with joy and contentment. "But let's first take on the heavens together."
After our passionate kiss, I take out the previously captured Venerable and we begin to check everything. I first make sure that Soft Feather has put on the World Protection Robe that I gave her earlier.
Next we check if she has the correct sermon manuscript, after ensuring this I ask her. "Are you ready for this, Soft Feather?" I ask her, my eyes scanning her from head to toe.
She nods confidently and says, "I'm ready, dear. I won't let you down."
I then turn to the Venerable, who looks nervous and apprehensive. "Are you ready to trigger your tribulation, Venerable?" I ask him.
He takes a deep breath and nods his head. "I am ready, young master. I will not disappoint you." After me using the full repertory of my techniques, he strangely became very polity. I think me envisioning that he is my loyal slave for all eternity was too much for him.
With everything in order, we move to a secluded location where Soft Feather can face her tribulation without any interruptions. I stand by her side, my hand resting on her shoulder, ready to assist her in case of any emergency.
With everything in place and Soft Feather ready to face her Heavenly Tribulation, I give the signal to start the process. The air around us starts to shimmer and crackle with energy as the Heavenly Tribulation descends upon us. The sky above us turns dark as clouds gather and thunder roars in the distance.
As the tribulation begins, I quickly use Blind Stupidity, a technique from my Way of Eternal Life, on the Venerable. This technique causes the Venerable's intelligence to plummet, reducing him to a blubbering idiot. His body convulses as he struggles to comprehend what's happening to him.
With his IQ so low, he's no longer a threat to Soft Feather or anyone else. It's a perfect way to make sure that he won't be able to harm anyone. As I watch the Venerable struggle and twitch, I feel a sense of satisfaction, knowing that he won't be able to cause any more trouble.
Meanwhile, Soft Feather stands before the Heavenly Tribulation, clad in the World Protection Robe that I had given her earlier. The robe glows with an otherworldly light, protecting her from the full force of the Heavenly Tribulation. Despite the powerful energies raging around her, she stands tall and resolute, ready to face whatever comes her way.
Finally, they both get moved to the Tribulation World, the place where all tribulations starting from the Seven promotes Eight happen.
This marks the beginning of the Tribulation!
