Chapter 1536
Successful Tribulation
"Ring ring..."
On the morning of the third day, a sudden alarm clock rang, and Yang Jun jumped out of bed with a jolt.
Today is the day he is undergoing his tribulation. He set an alarm specifically for this day. Now there is only one hour left until his last coma, so he must get everything he needs to do done within this hour.
After getting up, he first went to the bathroom to take a shower and brush his teeth. After all, he would be lying in bed for the next five days, and he didn't want to wake up covered in dirt again.
After coming out of the bathroom, he changed into clean clothes and took out a vegetable pancake and a bowl of rice noodles from his spatial storage and began to eat. He ate quickly and a lot because he couldn't eat or drink for the next five days. Even if he didn't wake up, he didn't want to starve to death.
After finishing breakfast, he tidied up the trash and, seeing that he had twenty minutes left, he went to bed.
He pulled the covers over himself and lay stiffly on the bed. He felt a little awkward, like he was lying in a coffin. So he took his hands out of the covers and crossed them over his abdomen. But after a while, he felt uncomfortable again. So he turned to his side. But after a short while, he felt awkward again, so he changed his position...
After changing his posture several times, he felt increasingly nervous. As the time ticked by, his heart was pounding in his chest, and he could hardly breathe.
He knew it was psychological; even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt nervous when the moment came.
"Tick! Tick!"
He seemed to hear the ticking of the second hand, and with each tick, his breathing rhythm quickened, until finally the mechanical sound and his heartbeat gradually merged...
……
When Yang Jun woke up again, he felt weak and sore all over, with no strength at all.
Slowly opening her eyes, she glanced at the digital clock on the bedside table, which showed that it was 9:08 AM on September 23, 1993.
Yang Jun smiled when he saw the time on the clock.
"Hehe, I'm alive again."
He successfully passed the tribulation that only happens once every twenty years. Although he doesn't know what changes have occurred in his body, he is certain that he is younger and stronger than before.
After lying in bed for a few minutes, his stiff body gradually relaxed, and he was able to turn over on his own. Having been hungry for five days, he did not rush to get out of bed to eat, but instead opened his spatial dimension.
The moment he entered the space, he felt that everything had changed.
Visibly, the space was larger than before, at least twice as large. His space system was called the Copying System, which, as the name suggests, was for copying things. So, every time he successfully transcended tribulation, the space seemed to double in size, as if it had been copied.
The things he had stored inside were still there intact, and the originally cramped space had become spacious, doubling in size and becoming even larger than before.
He clearly remembered that when he first obtained the space, it was two large light steel greenhouses. After he survived the tribulation twenty years ago, the space doubled in size, and now it has doubled again. The current space is four times the size of the original space, and it can accommodate and replicate more things.
The things in the space were things he handled every day. He could find everything with his eyes closed. The space contained all kinds of food, water, gold and silver, utensils, vehicles, daily necessities, industrial products, and all kinds of weapons, from warships to pistols...
Everything is available.
After wandering around the space for a while, Yang Jun finally came out.
After emerging, he was fully able to move again, though he was a little hungry. However, he could clearly feel the changes in his body. His skin was firmer than before, his muscles were denser, and his limbs were full of power. He felt like he could kill a bull with one punch.
"She definitely looks younger."
After getting out of bed, Yang Jun went straight to the bathroom mirror. Looking at his younger self in the mirror, he felt that he had successfully survived the ordeal. He pinched his cheeks and looked at his firm, elastic skin in the mirror. He felt that he was not far from being invulnerable.
He subconsciously touched the razor and held it up to his face to see if he was really invulnerable, but then he felt it was inappropriate, so he quickly shaved his arm instead.
"what!"
A sharp pain shot through him, and a thin red line immediately appeared on his arm.
Judging from his appearance, he hasn't reached the point of being invulnerable yet, but his skin is indeed tighter than before after the tribulation. He thinks that after two more tribulations, he should be able to become invulnerable.
After his tribulation, his physical functions were greatly enhanced. His skin was covered with a layer of greasy, dark liquid, and he felt sticky all over, which was very uncomfortable. He knew that it was the filth expelled from his body after the enhancement.
"Cuckoo!"
Just then, a gurgling sound came from my stomach.
He suddenly felt hungrier than ever before. Without even taking a shower, he took out a bowl of millet porridge and started drinking it. He had been hungry for five days and could only eat liquid food first to avoid upsetting his stomach.
He drank five bowls of millet porridge before stopping to eat. Although he was still hungry, he knew he couldn't overeat at this time, otherwise he would only suffer. He took out a set of clean clothes from his spatial storage and then went to take a shower.
About an hour later, after washing up, he stood in front of the mirror and looked at his younger self. He felt like a completely different person.
After admiring himself in the mirror for a while, Yang Jun came out.
He lit a cigarette first, then slowly opened the door.
"Uncle Yang!"
"Godfather!"
When they saw Yang Jun come out, Sun Zhaocai and Ding Erzhu's eyes welled up with tears.
After just a few days apart, they looked like they had aged ten years. They were filthy and smelled terrible, their hair was sticky and matted together, and their beards were unkempt. They looked exactly like beggars.
For the past seven days, they have been guarding the gate without taking off their clothes, keeping their guns with them, and never leaving the gate. They even sleep with one eye open, never daring to relax their vigilance in protecting Yang Jun's safety.
"Uncle Yang, if you don't come out soon, we're going to break in," Sun Zhaocai said, his eyes red.
“Yes, Godfather, you have no idea how anxious we were. There were several times we almost broke in.” - Sha Zhu.
Upon hearing this, Yang Jun smiled. Looking at their aggrieved expressions, he suddenly felt that there were still people in this world who cared about him.
"Thank you both for your hard work."
After saying that, he put his arm around their shoulders and walked out.
"Go out, the people outside are getting impatient."
"Okay, let's hurry up and get out of here before they get anxious."
The three then walked outside.
"Godfather, why do I feel like you're younger than before?" Sha Zhu asked.
"Really? Perhaps my martial arts skills have greatly improved during my seclusion."
"What kind of martial arts do you practice? Can you teach us?"
"This martial art is only suitable for me to practice; you can't do it."
"I think you're just stingy..."
An hour later, the three of them reached the ground.
The door opened, and a ray of sunlight shone in. The three of them instinctively shielded their eyes with their hands.
There was light below, but it wasn't as strong as sunlight, and the three of them were a little unaccustomed to it when they first came up.
"Uncle-Master".
Upon hearing the sound of the gate opening from the inside, Luo Xiaojun and his group of guards all rushed over.
They surrounded Yang Jun, scrutinizing him closely. Their first impression was that Yang Jun was different from before, though they couldn't quite put their finger on it. Their first impression was that he looked much younger, and secondly, they felt that his aura was stronger, giving off an unapproachable feeling.
"Uncle-Master, are you alright?"
Luo Xiaojun kept looking Yang Jun over, checking if he was injured or anything, his face full of concern.
"I'm fine, I'm out here perfectly fine."
Yang Jun patted his chest, spun around a few times, and only after confirming that he was alright did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's good that you're alright. You have no idea how worried I've been these past few days. Sigh."
"Xiao Jun, that's thoughtful of you." Yang Jun patted him on the shoulder.
Then, he glanced at the guards and said, "You've all worked hard." "No, it's nothing, leader," the guards replied in unison, their voices echoing through the valley.
"Everyone has been working hard for several days. Go back and rest. I'm giving you three days off."
"Thank you, sir."
"Let's go back."
Just as Yang Jun was about to get into the car and go back, Luo Xiaojun grabbed him, looking at him with a troubled expression.
"Uncle-Master, there's something I must confess to you..."
Seeing Luo Xiaojun's expression of having made a mistake and waiting for punishment, Yang Jun felt a pang of panic.
"Please don't tell me you informed your master's wife, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiaojun nodded awkwardly: "It's true that nothing can be kept from you."
"You really notified them?" Yang Jun pointed at him.
“Uncle-Master, how could I not inform my Master’s wife about such a big event? Mobilizing the guards and giving her last words, I… how could I dare to hide it from her?”
After saying that, he put his legs together and stood up straight.
"I made the mistake, so punish me if you want."
Seeing Luo Xiaojun's resolute expression, Yang Jun stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"You did the right thing. It was my oversight. Such a big decision is indeed not something you can make on your own."
After saying that, he asked in a low voice, "Have your master's wife and the others arrived yet?"
"They arrived the day after you went in, and they're at home now."
"They're at home?" Yang Jun was startled when he heard this.
"Don't worry, Uncle-Master. When I notified Mistress and the others to come over, I had already arranged for Miss Gao to be placed somewhere else," Luo Xiaojun quickly explained.
"You're quite efficient, kid." Yang Jun was immediately relieved to hear this.
Although it's no secret that he keeps women outside the marriage, some things can only be done in secret. Once it's made public, there's no way out for the couple. Therefore, he would never let Yi Qiushui and the others meet with the women outside the marriage.
"Hehe, after following you for so many years, if I couldn't even handle this little thing, how could I have the face to stay by your side?"
"You rascal..." Yang Jun then remembered something and asked, "How is Miss Gao's health?"
"Ms. Gao has recovered her health. I specially arranged for her to have a physical examination, and all her physical indicators are normal."
"I'm relieved that everything is normal."
Hearing that Kao Chieh had recovered, Yang Jun felt relieved.
"Oh, right, tell Xiao Wu to remember to build a villa on the hill opposite my house."
"Yes, Uncle-Master."
Just as the two of them were chatting, a familiar voice suddenly came from inside.
"Dad."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Chengdao led Yang Chengcai and a group of his younger brothers and sisters running towards them.
"Why are you here?"
Yang Jun thought only Yi Qiushui and the others had come, but he didn't expect even the children to come.
Luo Xiaojun was about to explain with a wry smile when Yang Chengdao interrupted him.
"Dad, are you alright? Are you hurt? Are you sick?"
He assumed Yang Jun had already given his last words and that something had happened to him, so he couldn't wait to ask him as soon as they met.
"What could possibly happen to Dad? Look at me, I'm perfectly fine."
Yang Jun spun around twice and then jumped twice to show that he was really okay.
"You scared me to death."
Seeing that his father was alright, Yang Chengdao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dad, what are you doing in the shelter? We can't open the shelter at all, and we can't even see you. We're so worried!"
“My mother and aunts are in tears every day and haven’t eaten for several days.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Jun turned around and glared at Luo Xiaojun. Luo Xiaojun quickly turned his face away, pretending not to have heard.
"Actually, it's nothing much, just closed-door cultivation. Do you see any changes between now and before?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Chengdao and his children indeed noticed that their father was different from before; he seemed to have become younger and stronger.
"Dad, you...you look even younger than before?" Yang Chengdao said in disbelief.
"It seems so."
"What kind of kung fu do you practice, and why don't you teach us?"
"You brat, the kung fu I practice isn't suitable for you guys."
To avoid the children pressing for answers, Yang Jun quickly said, "Alright, hurry back so your mom and the others won't worry."
Afterwards, Yang Jun got into a car, and the group headed towards the manor on the mountaintop.
Once home, a joyous scene of reunion after a bittersweet separation naturally unfolded. Yi Qiushui and her group of women chased after Yang Jun, bombarding him with questions and even stripping him naked to check for injuries.
Yang Jun could not possibly tell them these things; they were his secrets. Besides, telling them would only add to their sorrow, since they were getting older every day while he remained as young as ever, which would only cause them sadness.
However, seeing that Yang Jun looked younger than before, they knew that he must be hiding some secret, so they didn't press him further.
"Dad, I'm relieved to see you're alright."
Yang Chengdao said, "I need to hurry back tonight; Yanjing can't do without me."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jun said, "Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Go back tomorrow. At least have a meal with me."
"Dad, I really can't be with you anymore."
Yang Chengdao smiled bitterly: "I don't know who leaked the secret, but news of your death has spread all over Yanjing. If I don't go back soon, those bastards will start their feast."
"Oh, they still want to eat at my feast? Let's see if they have any teeth left." Yang Jun said.
"Dad, I'm not joking with you anymore. I have to hurry back. Also, I need to investigate who leaked the secret."
“Okay, you can go back now. I’ll have your Uncle Xiaojun go back with you. He’s more experienced in handling these kinds of situations than you are.” Hearing his son say this, Yang Jun changed his joking tone.
"That's wonderful! I was just wondering how to ask you for Uncle Xiaojun."
Afterwards, Yang Jun gave Luo Xiaojun a few instructions and then sent him back to Yanjing with Yang Chengdao.
After they left, Yang Jun looked at the room full of relatives and clapped his hands.
"Although I didn't die, we still have to attend this banquet. Tell the kitchen to prepare the banquet so that our whole family can have a reunion dinner tonight."
"How old are you to say such things in front of children?" Yi Qiushui said with a laugh.
"What's the big deal? If you want a banquet right now, I'll go die right now," Yang Jun laughed heartily. (End of Chapter)
