7. Heavenly Tribulation
Due to the fatigue of the entire day, Lu Yang was thoroughly exhausted. However, the comforting and exciting thought that his mother had feelings for him deeply eased his weariness. He made his way to his room, contemplating how to progress his relationship with her. "Well, there's no rush," he mused, understanding the importance of also focusing on his cultivation level. He settled onto his bed, and closed his eyes.
"As he was about to sleep, he thought, 'Before going to sleep, I should check the system once.' And in his mind, he said 'system,' and in front of him, a blue screen appeared."

"As the system page appeared in front of him, he noticed a new locked skill. He began to explore and noticed a system upgrade option. Feeling exhausted, he decided to examine the skill tomorrow and clicked 'yes' on the system upgrade option before falling into a deep sleep."
"Ding, system upgrade is complete."
This sound echoed in Lu Yang's mind, causing him to wake up. He opened his eyes, and it was already morning. He yawned, stretched his body, and opened the door to let in the fresh air, saying in his mind, "System."

• Love Ascension
— Description: Helps host and host's lover's cultivation realm to level up stages after every intimate session. (Result may vary depending on the host's cultivation realm.)
— If the host's cultivation level is higher than the lover's, the host's cultivation realm stage will be leveled up by one stage, and the partner's stage will be leveled up by 3 stages.
— Same when the lover's cultivation realm is higher.
— Host will be able to see the favorability level of any person.
[Unlock Requirement: Can be unlocked by having an intimate session.]
He noticed the new skill and remarked, "Isn't this similar to dual cultivation?" It occurred to him that this skill could potentially benefit his mother, who had been unable to cultivate since birth due to her blocked meridians. However, he also realized that arranging an intimate session with his mother might not be easy, as she still saw him primarily in the context of a mother-son relationship.
"But just the thought of having an intimate session with my mother makes my heart race," he admitted with a blush. "Well… as the saying goes, 'The fruit of patience is always sweet.' I should take it slow and gradually develop this relationship."
As he was checking the system he noticed the skills he already had. The skills I've obtained from the system weren't useless, but I haven't use any of them.
System, since I don't use these skills, can you exchange them for new ones?
Host can obtain the skill "Cultivation Mastery" in exchange for "Celestial Harmony," "Voidwalker's Grace," and "Thunder God's Wrath." With "Cultivation Mastery," you'll be able to gain cultivation base even without meditating and can acquire 500,000 cultivation base in exchange for "Eternal Fortitude" and "True Eyes."
Accept: [Yes/No]"
"Sure enough, this system is as demanding as those systems that protagonists usually encounter during transmigration. Even though I haven't used any of these skills, they remain remarkably powerful. Well, it can't be helped. Cultivation Mastery is also an appealing option. System, please proceed with the skill exchange."

"The host has accumulated the required amount to break through to the Qi Refinement realm. It is highly recommended for the host to find a place with a rich aura, as the next breakthrough will trigger a heavenly tribulation.
Huh? But i am only in the Core Condensation realm. Wasn't heavenly tribulation triggered only during breakthroughs for the Earth Core realm?
The host will defy the natural law by breaking through the Core Condensation realm, as no normal mortal has been able to breakthrough to Qi refinement realm this fast. There's a time limit of 4 hours; if the host gains more cultivation base, Life Force Drain will start draining the host's life force.
Lu Yang's heart raced, panic gripping him with icy fingers.
W-what do I do now? The only place I know with a rich aura is the dragon veins, but with my current cultivation realm, it would be like inviting my death. But my life force! I-I can't afford to lose it like this. I don't want to die. The closest person I know is my sect master with a terrifying aura if she protects me I may be able to survive, but how will I explain the whole situation? There's no time for that. I'll think about it once I reach the sect.
And Lu Yang left for the sect in a frenzy of panic, his breath coming in shallow gasps."
