Both My Parents Are Supremes—Why Should I Fear a Child of Destiny? - Chapter 35:

Chapter 35: Fully Conquered, Destiny Severed

The sudden bolt of heavenly lightning completely destroyed the still-repairing protective formation of the sect. But no one cared about that anymore. Everyone was more curious—what had happened to make divine lightning fall directly on Chenyang Peak?

That was the mountain where Su Ming resided.

Uncle Meng, who had just finished a pill transaction, turned pale the moment he sensed the lightning bolt. “Young Master!” he shouted, flying directly toward Chenyang Peak.

Due to not restricting his power during flight, the storm he stirred up caused considerable disturbance throughout the Trinity Saint Sect.

Sensing this, Li Jianping immediately rushed toward Chenyang Peak as well.

For Su Ming’s Dao Guardian to react so strongly, it could only mean one thing—that lightning had something to do with Su Ming!

“Could it be even the heavens can’t stand what Su Ming has done, and have finally struck him with divine punishment?” Li Jianping even began to fantasize: Su Ming gravely injured, or even killed outright by the heavenly tribulation. If that happened, it would all be the heavens’ doing—not the sect’s—so even the two Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses wouldn’t be able to blame him or the Heaven Primordial Continent.

When Uncle Meng reached Chenyang Peak and saw the small courtyard destroyed by the residual force of the lightning, he shouted, “Young Master! Young Madam! Are you alright?!”

A moment later, an immense surge of spiritual Qi burst from the ruins, destroying all lingering remnants of the lightning.

Then, with the battle puppet guarding them, Su Ming slowly walked out from the rubble with Luo Ningshuang in his arms.

Seeing that Su Ming was unharmed, Uncle Meng finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Young Master, what happened? And Young Madam—what’s going on with her?!”

Uncle Meng could clearly sense that the spiritual Qi in Luo Ningshuang’s body had begun to recover. She had previously only reached the 3rd stage Mortal Dust Realm, but now her cultivation had risen to the 1st stage Extraordinary Realm.

The innate Dao pattern on her forehead was no longer dim—it had clearly recovered.

“Young Master, could it be you forcibly restored Young Madam’s Dao pattern, and that caused the lightning strike?” Uncle Meng guessed the cause himself.

Just as Su Ming was thinking of how to explain, he quickly took the chance and said, “You really are sharp, Uncle Meng. You saw through it instantly.”

After what happened with Luo Ningshuang, Su Ming understood—when it came to destiny, the fewer who knew, the better. Especially the people closest to him.

“My fiancée’s ability to sense destiny is probably related to her external cheat,” he thought, glancing at the Jade Pool Heavenly Lock on Luo Ningshuang’s neck.

He genuinely owed a bit of thanks to the remnant soul within it. If not for her, he and Luo Ningshuang’s relationship wouldn’t have advanced this far.

[Host has successfully conquered the female lead of destiny and broken the influence of destiny on Luo Ningshuang, severing the fate between Chu Fan and Luo Ningshuang. Gained Destiny Points.]

That was the system message Su Ming had received after the lightning strike.

He had used Destiny Vision at the time to confirm Luo Ningshuang’s condition. Her destiny was now completely untangled from Chu Fan’s—their fate had been severed.

The 500,000 Destiny Points were the reward for overturning that bond.

Luo Ningshuang had now fully recovered her innate Dao pattern, and the Jade Pool Heavenly Lock could no longer affect her.

Only if she willingly offered her spiritual Qi could the lock absorb it to nourish the Empress Yao Chi’s remnant soul.

Luo Ningshuang, who had once been entirely passive, had now become the one in control.

Looking at Su Ming cradling Luo Ningshuang in his arms, Uncle Meng nodded with satisfaction.

Now that Luo Ningshuang’s talent and cultivation had begun to recover, she was truly worthy of standing beside Su Ming.

And from the looks of it, their relationship had clearly taken a great step forward.

Uncle Meng was just about to speak when he suddenly turned with an irritated expression—Li Jianping’s figure was becoming clearer in the distance.

When Li Jianping finally arrived, his gaze was instantly drawn to the battle puppet standing to the side. “A half-step Void Realm battle puppet?!”

Ever since the Chaotic Spirit Crystal incident, he never imagined Su Ming would have something like this in his possession.

Compared to the Chaotic Spirit Crystal, which could theoretically destroy the Heaven Primordial Continent, this battle puppet was even more terrifying. This one didn’t threaten mass destruction—it could accurately tear down the Trinity Saint Sect piece by piece.

“When did he get this thing? After that Heavenly Dao Realm cultivator appeared?”

“Now that he holds something like this, how will he deal with the sect? How will he deal with me?”

A flood of thoughts surged through Li Jianping’s mind. Ever since becoming Sect Master, he had never felt so mentally drained.

“Sect Master, isn’t floating in the air tiring?” Su Ming looked up at Li Jianping and asked calmly.

Li Jianping didn’t hesitate. He immediately descended in front of Su Ming, even lowering his posture, appearing submissive and respectful.

“A sudden visit like this—surely Sect Master has something urgent to say?”

“Alas, I just went through a heavenly tribulation. If I hear bad news now, I might lose control of my emotions…”

As Su Ming spoke slowly, the battle puppet behind him threw out a few symbolic punches into the air.

The wind from its fists howled through the sky, directly blasting through two nearby peaks.

By coincidence, one of them was Azure Sun Peak, where Ye Nantian resided.

He had just begun to fume, but after seeing where the attack came from, he instantly swallowed his anger.

Watching Su Ming’s blatant show of force, Li Jianping lowered his head even further.

He wasn’t a fool—he could clearly see what Su Ming was doing.

“I came to report, Holy Son. The Three Saints Secret Realm will open in one hour.”

“You came a full hour early just to inform me? Isn’t that a bit much?”

“Did you really come to notify me—or were you hoping to mock me after that tribulation?”

“Who in the sect doesn’t know how hard Holy Son cultivates? I was worried you’d miss the opening while in seclusion, so I came early.”

“You’re quite thoughtful. Well, since you’ve delivered the message, you may leave. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s inside the secret realm…”

“Please look forward to it, Holy Son… I still have sect affairs to attend to. I’ll take my leave.”

“My courtyard was destroyed…”

“An elder will be here soon to handle the repairs. Please don’t concern yourself, Holy Son.”

Once Li Jianping left in humiliation, Su Ming and Uncle Meng exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

Watching the once-arrogant Li Jianping now act so meek was immensely satisfying.

Perhaps awakened by their laughter, Luo Ningshuang slowly opened her eyes.

Realizing the position she was in, her cheeks flushed red.

Feeling the woman in his arms stirring, Su Ming didn’t take advantage. He gently set her down and asked, “How do you feel now?”

Luo Ningshuang raised her hand and touched the innate Dao pattern on her forehead. Sensing the spiritual Qi flowing once more within her body, she smiled softly. “I feel… wonderful.”
