Chapter 475 The Secret of Tribulation
Chapter 475 The Secret of Tribulation
The flying boat sailed leisurely forward.
The next morning, the sun rose.
Xu Xiao finished dressing, bid farewell to the shy and happy Bai Shuangshuang, left the cabin and went to the deck.
Tian Ge was in front controlling the flying boat.
He wore a mask of pain all night, and could only sigh, "Elder Xu, let's take it easy... Even if you have a magic treasure, you can't possibly supply all the beautiful female cultivators in the cultivation world, can you?"
"We must take care of our fellow disciples first!"
He was too lazy to say anything about Bai Shuangshuang; after all, she was a disciple of the Wuwang Immortal Sect.
Xu Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Elder, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."
Thinking of something, he asked, "Elder Tiange, is the Thunder Spirit Pill very important to Tribulation Transcending cultivators? What level are Tribulation Transcending cultivators at in the Tianyuan Continent?"
There are few records of cultivators who have transcended tribulation in books; he only knew that such cultivators existed.
The Heavenly Pavilion is it, the Moonlit Netherworld is it, and the True Spirit is it too.
When this topic came up, Tian Ge smiled confidently.
Displaying the demeanor of a senior member of the sect, he looked at Xu Xiao, stroked his beard, and smiled, "Elder Xu, you have now reached the peak of the Integration Realm. With your talent and resources, you will soon be approaching the Mahayana Realm."
"It's time to learn about the path to immortality after Mahayana."
Xu Xiao listened attentively.
Tian Ge continued, "Transcending tribulation, in principle, is not considered a complete realm. It can be said to be a special stage before a Mahayana cultivator ascends to immortality."
"After fully comprehending the two Great Daos of Heaven and Earth, one will advance to the late stage of Mahayana, which is the seventh level of Mahayana."
"After reaching the peak of the Mahayana realm, the degree of spiritual power condensation within the body will no longer increase. At this time, the rules of heaven and earth will sense the cultivator's boundless power and send down tribulation lightning."
"According to the sect's records, there are nine tribulations of heavenly lightning. After a cultivator at the peak of the Mahayana stage passes the first tribulation, their physical body and soul merge with the Qi of Heaven, breaking through their limits. Their strength, lifespan, and spiritual power will all increase. This is what we call the Tribulation Realm."
"According to the current understanding, passing one heavenly lightning bolt is considered the first level of tribulation, passing two heavenly lightning bolts is considered the second level of tribulation, and so on."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiao asked, "How long is the interval between the two tribulation lightning strikes?"
Tian Ge said, "It depends on the cultivator himself. If you want, you can even undergo nine tribulations of lightning and directly reach the ninth level of tribulation, gaining a lifespan of 300,000 years. Heaven will send down the light of ascension, and the path to immortality will be within reach."
"However, doing so is suicidal. The maximum interval between two tribulations is 20,000 years. They will definitely prepare thoroughly before undergoing the tribulation to increase the success rate."
"More than 20,000 years have passed, and a celestial tribulation could fall at any time, making it extremely dangerous."
Xu Xiao asked, "What are the consequences of failing to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation?"
Tian Ge chuckled, put his hands behind his back, and said with endless vicissitudes in his eyes, "Then there is only death. We cultivators fight against the heavens. How can you so easily achieve the Great Dao of Immortality and live as long as the heavens?"
"Some cultivators don't even live for 100,000 years before being defeated by the tribulation lightning, and their bodies and souls are destroyed."
"There are countless examples like this throughout history. The old Taoist is only over 90,000 years old now. He has passed through three heavenly lightning strikes, which is called the three tribulations of tribulation."
"The next tribulation is still a long way off. There are still 18,000 years to prepare. The old Daoist's talent is among the best in the entire history of the Wuwang Immortal Sect!"
Tian Ge became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes gleaming as he said, "If you give this old Daoist a dozen or twenty more Thunder Spirit Pills and one or two innate spiritual treasures, I will transcend the tribulation next year, in less than 18,000 years!"
"No! I can undergo the tribulation immediately!"
Xu Xiao sneered inwardly.
That old guy's dreaming! Trying to get his resources for free?
dream.
Unless we find him a dozen or twenty SSS-level lucky women and let him slowly give them away.
"Elder Tiange, my immortal treasures are limited in resources, and I can't just give them away casually, or I'll be punished by the heavens," Xu Xiao chuckled.
Tian Ge rolled his eyes.
He knew what this brat was thinking: he was saving his resources for picking up girls, and he, an old man, wouldn't interest her.
But he remained calm, knowing he had plenty of time.
He was confident that he could slowly deceive them into giving him the money later.
So what if he likes beautiful female cultivators? No big deal!
Let's see how the old Taoist priest handles you when we get back!
Ha ha!
Tian Ge was very satisfied; if he gave her one Thunder Spirit Pill, he would give her a second one.
That's it!
The airship continued its journey, and Xu Xiao returned to the cabin to continue discussing life with Bai Shuangshuang.
"Shuangshuang, here are ten Dao Integration Pills, please don't be shy."
"Elder!! Shuangshuang will always be the Elder's favorite little tiger!"
......
The Central Plains Three Regions, the central region of the Tianyuan Continent, is the Central Heaven Region.
Within the realm, a continuous stretch of celestial mountains is shrouded in mist, with spiritual radiance rising and immortal light permeating the air.
Birds and mythical beasts can be seen everywhere.
At the summit of the main peak, in the auspiciously glowing white jade hall, an old man sat in the back hall, gently stroking his beard.
“Senior brother, Xu Xiao has obtained an ancient immortal treasure, and the innate spiritual treasure Thunder Spirit Pill is appearing one after another. Our Tianyuan Immortal Sect cannot miss this amazing immortal opportunity.”
A beautiful woman in white robes below frowned and sighed, "The opportunity presented by the Wuwang Immortal Sect is astonishing. If we don't get a share of it, I'm afraid the position of the number one immortal sect will change hands in the near future."
"You and I will become the greatest sinners of the Tianyuan Immortal Sect."
"Breaking news: Lingxiao Immortal Sect and Black Demon Holy Sect have each obtained six Thunder Spirit Pills and two innate spiritual treasures. Xu Xiao has been taken back to Wuwang Immortal Sect by Tiange."
The white-robed elder let out a soft breath, his deep, weathered eyes gleaming slightly: "Inform your disciples to hurry up and prepare for the Heavenly Mountain Sword Tournament. At that time, I will send my sect's goddess to deliver the invitation to the Wuwang Immortal Sect."
The beautiful woman's eyes flickered slightly, as if she had thought of something, and she nodded silently.
Three days later, in the northern part of the Tianyuan Continent, in the vast Central and Northern Region.
At the end of the North Sea, fairy islands stand in abundance.
Almost every immortal island is guarded by a sect, whether it's a second-rate or third-rate sect.
The immortal island is rich in spiritual energy, making it a blessed land for cultivators in the Central and Northern Regions to pursue their cultivation.
It is an island at the northernmost part of Beihai, with lush greenery and several verdant mountains.
This is the territory of Penglai Immortal Sect, the largest sect in the Central and Northern Regions, and almost all of its outer disciples cultivate on the island.
"Senior brother! Look! That's the fairy light of the North Sea! It's so beautiful!"
On the northern coast of the island, a male and female monk stand on the beach, embracing each other affectionately.
Gazing at the endless, magnificent, seven-colored auspicious light on the horizon of Beihai, the beautiful female cultivator blushed slightly and tightly embraced the person she deeply loved.
"Junior sister, once your senior brother breaks through to the Void Refinement stage and becomes an outer sect steward, I will marry you and we will become your eternal Daoist partners!"
The handsome young man gazed at his beloved with tender affection and longing in his eyes, embracing her gently.
"Mmm! Senior brother, it's truly a blessing for Xiaoxi to have met you..."
"Senior brother too..."
As the celestial light of Beihai faded, the two parted ways, their cheeks flushed.
"Why is it suddenly so cold, Senior Brother?! What's that?!"
The beautiful woman stared wide-eyed at a thin, dark crack that had suddenly appeared in the distant sky.
The man blinked, his brow furrowed. "I don't know either..."
Black cracks appeared and disappeared, and the moment they appeared, endless cold followed.
In an instant, patches of ice formed on the distant sea.
Whoosh.
A group of transparent figures flew out from the crack and headed straight for the island.
A chilling aura emanated from the area, threatening to engulf everything.
"Oh no! Junior sister, run!!"
Feeling the oppressive aura of the figure ahead, the man was terrified and quickly pulled his junior sister up, leaping into the air.
But it's too late.
Two transparent figures flew over, transformed into streaks of light, and momentarily entered the back of the two people's heads.
They paused, both of them hanging in mid-air.
When they opened their eyes again, the two smiled at each other and looked at the emerald green fairy island behind them.
"Hehe, what a beautiful world!"
"This is much better than that Yin Sha Realm from last time..."
