The Female Supporting Role Shows Out

Chapter 1

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Amidst thousands of roaring and chaotic purple flashes, a long-haired female cultivator pierced into the abdomen of a man with a sword. The male cultivator had blood in his mouth and his eyes were wide open. He was in disbelief at what had happened. But she lowered her eyes and looked at him indifferently before slowly pulling out the sword.

Flashes of lightning illuminated the night sky like daytime and made the man's face look even paler. He said, "Lin Dan, it's me..."

The female cultivator's unwavering eyes quivered. She whispered softly, "Are you... not an illusion of mine?"

Indeed, the female cultivator was undergoing a heavenly tribulation. She had thought that the man was just an illusion born from her inner demon, but he was real. Lin Dan, the female cultivator, finally raised her head and gazed at the thunderous sky. She looked at the other cultivators who were either hovering in the air or wielding a sword somewhere not too far away. It was only then she remembered that it was the day of her wedding ceremony. The man before her was the companion she had pursued for and had been with her for thousands of years.

But did it matter? The endless wait, the fervent chasing, and the prolonged companionship could turn into nothing when a lady demon unintentionally glanced at the man. Even if a covenant was about to be made, as soon as the demon appeared and uttered a syllable from her thin red lips that sounded like a sob and a chuckle at the same time, it could immediately make the man lose his mind.

Two hours ago:

She understood completely when she saw that her companion was reluctant to make a cut on his fingertips and make the covenant. At that moment, when Lin Dan looked deeply into his eyes which was filled with hesitation and regret, she suddenly came to accept the harsh reality. She tore off her red gown, removed her gorgeous and heavy headdress, and left immediately.

There was no time for the attending guests or the families of both parties to react, as the starry sky was suddenly engulfed by the billowing clouds and flashes of lightning. With the wrath of heaven, the strong wind howled which made all cultivators shiver as though sharp knives were slashing their skins. This was the tribulation cloud and thunder. Is someone going through a heavenly tribulation at this moment, on this special occasion?

It was none other than Lin Dan who was undergoing the heavenly tribulation. She was cultivating the Infinite Tao of the Celestial Way. As the saying goes, there is mystery in all the three thousand ways of attaining Tao. The Infinite Tao was one of the most difficult ways of cultivation that focused on "the infinite ways of Taoism, the unsullied heart of Taoism, and the desireless body of Taoism." Cultivators could only attain true Tao when they achieved these three aspects.

But for Lin Dan who always had someone whom she could not let go and forget, how was it possible for her to achieve the desireless state? Even though she was known as the prodigy of the cultivation world because she possessed the Body of Nine Yin and single-line celestial touch, she had been stuck in this tribulation for more than six hundred years.

Nevertheless, she was not in a hurry. The ladder of ascension in this world had somehow been destroyed. Even if she could overcome the tribulation, her soul would eventually dissipate in the realm between the heavens and the earth. Ascension would mean death for her. She was not afraid of death but was worried that she could no longer be with him.

She clearly knew that someone else was deeply etched in his heart, but it did not matter. She would never leave him whenever he was in trouble. She was always there for him whenever he was down. If his heart was the thousand-year frozen ice, she would be that fiery fire of the nine suns, vowing to melt his heart one day.
