Chapter 996 Ascension Tribulation
After explaining everything, Yuan Qingque pointed to his forehead, and the Nine Heavens Dao Fruit that he had refined was pulled out again.
This Tao fruit looked like a circle composed of nine sword-shaped light beams, but in Yuan Qingque's hand, he pinched it into a tower made up of nine light beams stacked up one above the other.
"Qing'er doesn't need me to worry about her future, but I can't worry about you. I'll leave this Dao Fruit to you!"
While Yuan Qingque was speaking, Yuan Zhen looked surprised as he reached out and pressed the even more powerful Nine Heavens Dao Fruit between her eyebrows.
Yuan Zhen immediately sat upright on the cloud and began to activate the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sutra to refine it.
……
Tongtian Refining Tower.
When the Demon Lord saw the void gate suddenly appear in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.
After Yuan Qingque practiced the emptiness, it had no power to resist.
After crossing the gate of void, the Demon Lord landed next to Yuan Qingque.
"Daoyou, we should get going."
When Yuan Qingque saw the human-shaped demon lord, he spoke up to remind it.
"Brother Dao, please!"
After hearing this, the Demon Lord nodded, then rolled in the air, and a white dragon appeared in the air. The dragon scales were shining like white jade, and there was a faint mist wrapped around the dragon horns. The dragon's eyes were like ice and snow.
Yuan Qingque looked at the white dragon beside him, and a surge of emotions rose in his heart.
In the past, Yiyuan Zhenjun ascended to heaven riding a yellow dragon, and today he also has a white dragon.
At this time, the ascending spiritual light falling from the sky spread out, covering the demon lord next to him.
"Everyone, see you in the immortal world if we are destined to meet again."
Yuan Qingque bowed to the three people including True Lord Wuchen who were standing in the clouds in the distance, then leaped and landed on the dragon's back.
The Demon Lord gently shook the dragon's head, glanced in the direction of the desolate sea, and then let out a long roar, which shook the sky and overflowed with spiritual light.
As the dragon's wings spread, a strong wind blew.
In an instant, Yuan Qingque and Bailong rushed straight into the ninth heaven along the ascending spiritual light falling from the Lingkong Immortal Realm.
Ye Qing was guarding Yuan Zhen and could not leave. He could only look up and watch Yuan Qingque's figure getting smaller and smaller, and finally turning into a point of light and disappearing into the sky.
There was reluctance in his eyes, but after Yuan Qingque left, he had no time to feel sad, because the Jiu Tian Dang Mo Sect would still need his support in the future.
The three gods of the demonic sect are dead, but the Dongli demonic sect has not been exterminated yet.
Before leaving, Yuan Qingque didn't want to add any more clues, so he left this matter to future generations.
The two True Gods of the Taixu Piaomiao Palace in the distant clouds, at this time, followed Yuan Qingque's ascending spiritual light and rushed up.
Ascension is rare in the world, and they don’t want to miss this opportunity and want to see it for themselves.
True Lord Wuchen was half a step late because he had to give instructions to the disciples of Daode Sect and took this opportunity to hunt down Dongli Demon Sect.
However, after making the arrangements, he immediately controlled a pill and flew into the sky.
On the way to ascension, Yuan Qingque closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling the spiritual images rising into the sky from all over the world.
This is the living God of Transformation in the Tianhe Realm.
After sensing the aura of ascension, everyone who was not in seclusion flew up to see what was going on.
Yuan Qingque ignored them. He closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and felt the realm of Lianxu that he had just broken through.
Killing the three demon gods is only the most basic power in the Lianxu realm.
The Jiu Tian Dang Mo Sect has a profound foundation. Yuan Qingque had already obtained the chapter of Lian Xu of the Jiu Tian Xuan Jing taught by the founder on the sixth floor of the Tong Tian Lian Dao Tower, so he was not completely ignorant of this realm.
The more advanced the ascension tribulation is, the more terrifying it becomes. Even a cultivator of the void realm cannot say that he is completely sure of being able to survive it.
Therefore, Yuan Qingque must make use of every moment to master his current realm and strength.
As the white dragon flapped its wings, its scales trembled. The temperature outside had dropped to an extremely cold level, but the white dragon was born with the ability to control the power of the cold icy soul. For it, this was like a fish in water. It even felt that the bottleneck it had originally reached was slightly loosening up.
Unknowingly, they had passed through nine invisible barriers, which were the Nine-Layered Heavenly Barriers.
This is also the first level in the ascension process and the most basic test.
Each layer of the Nine Heavenly Gang contains different forces of heaven and earth. After reaching the realm of transformation, ordinary spiritual energy is very slow to increase for them. However, among the Nine Heavenly Gang, if they are lucky, they can find the innate pure energy that has not been completely dissipated into spiritual energy.
The higher the level, the more refined it is.
Only when the primordial spirit refines these can it return to the innate from the acquired, and it will be easier to get close to and listen to the Tao, and become one with the Tao.
With the cultivation level of Zhenjun Huashen, surpassing the Nine Heavenly Gangs is naturally easy.
However, above the Tiangang is the Nine Heavenly Tribulation, which is a terrifying power that only those at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm dare to encounter.
Most of the energy contained in each layer of the heavenly tribulation is innate energy, so the incarnation cultivators of the Tianhe Realm often come to try to overcome the heavenly tribulation just to absorb it.
Yuan Qingque and Bailong didn't stop at all, and directly broke through the nine layers of heaven and crashed into the ascension tribulation.
The nine levels of heavenly tribulation were the rules of the great Dao jointly established by several great masters who opened up the Lingkong Immortal Realm. The original intention was to provide a way of ascension for cultivators who were not from their lineages.
When the Lingkong Fairyland was first opened, super powers such as the Jellyfish Palace, the Taixu Piaomiao Palace, etc. all had their own channels that led directly to the Fairyland.
The so-called ascension tribulation is like the college entrance examination of the immortal world. If you can stand out from the thousands of cultivators in the lower realm and cultivate to the realm of Lianxu, then you will be a talent recognized by the immortal world. You can rely on your own efforts to become a new member of the immortal world and be accepted by the other super powers.
For example, the ancestor Jiu Tian Dang Mo, after Lian Xu ascended to heaven, he got the opportunity to listen to teachings in the Jellyfish Palace. During the third time of listening to the teachings, he realized his own great way and succeeded in merging with the Dao, which attracted the arrival of the Jellyfish who had already surpassed the Dao and accepted him as his personal disciple.
However, with several great changes in the Tianhe Realm, the back doors to ascension that several great masters opened for their descendants were either sealed, the keys were lost, or they were destroyed.
This has resulted in the heavenly tribulation of ascension, which was originally intended to demonstrate fairness and was reserved for outsiders, becoming the only formal channel for ascension now.
It is precisely for this reason that the cultivators who are able to survive the tribulation of ascension and enter the fairyland are all top-notch geniuses!
Since the creation of the Lingkong Immortal Realm, countless cultivators have died in the nine-fold heavenly calamity.
Especially the first three levels of heavenly tribulation, almost 90% of the gods in the Tianhe Realm died here.
"Brother Dao, the first heavenly tribulation has arrived!"
At this moment, Bai Long opened his mouth, and his voice rumbled like thunder into Yuan Qingque's ears.
Yuan Qingque opened his eyes and looked around first. He found dozens of soul images sitting on the Nine Heavens, waiting for him to overcome the tribulation of ascension.
Among them, three were closest to him, namely Wuchen Zhenjun of Daode Sect, and Dakong and Dagu of Taixu Piaomiao Palace.
Yuan Qingque nodded slightly to them, then flew into the first level of heavenly tribulation with Bailong.
This heavenly calamity is as powerful as thunder.
Amid the thunder and lightning, it seems as if one has entered a world of thunder. Any tangible matter that enters it will be struck by thousands of thunders and turned into dust by the mighty power of thunder.
Most of the heavenly tribulations that result from breakthroughs to various realms in the Tianhe Realm are derived from this.
However, even the power of the Divine Transformation Tribulation is like a firefly compared to the bright moon compared to the first level of Ascension Tribulation.
But for Yuan Qingque and Yao Zun, this heavenly tribulation only consumed some of their energy.
It was not just them. More than half of the dozens of True Lords who were originally in the Nine-Layer Heavenly Gang also broke into the first level of heavenly tribulation.
Yuan Qingque simply opened his mouth and spit out a stream of Nine Heavens True Qi, forming a protective light shield, while the white dragon under his feet roared to the sky, surrounded by extreme cold, which turned into cold waves, and soared into the sky while carrying the almost endless thunder of heavenly calamity.
Soon, they entered the second level of heavenly tribulation, where there was blazing flames and raging fire that burned everything into nothingness.
It is said that the source of the Burning Heaven and Purifying World Fire, the sect's founding technique, came from here.
After arriving here, the Demon Lord's expression began to become solemn.
The power of its true spirit is just enough to restrain this burning fire.
However, it is only at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Compared with the heavenly tribulation that is continuously supported by the power of heaven and earth, it is possible that it cannot survive due to exhaustion.
In the past, before it was sealed in the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower, it had attempted this ascension tribulation. However, when faced with this second level of tribulation, it felt that it was not up to the task and stopped and retreated.
At that time, the Demon Lord could feel that if he tried his best, he might be able to survive the second heavenly tribulation. However, if he did so, he would surely die when he entered the third heavenly tribulation.
Compared to that time, now it has signed a contract with Yuan Qingque and cannot retreat no matter what.
With a long roar towards the sky, the Demon Lord unleashed all the power of his white dragon spirit, carrying Yuan Qingque on his back and shuttled through the sea of fire.
The frost on the dragon scales condensed by the Demon Lord's extreme cold power melted, and water vapor evaporated, but it was transformed into layers of water curtains to resist the invasion of the raging fire, trying to pass through this second heavenly tribulation as quickly as possible.
In the blink of an eye, they had already rushed halfway.
Yuan Qingque's expression remained unchanged. Noticing that the white dragon under him suddenly slowed down, he opened his mouth and spit out his Nine Heavens True Qi, which condensed into a powerful talisman and fell on the white dragon.
In an instant, it seemed as if springs of eternal springs emerged from the white dragon's body. Clear, icy water gushed out continuously, pouring onto the white dragon's crystal scales and blocking all the burning fire outside its body.
After receiving the blessing of Yuan Qingque's sixth-level talisman, the Demon Lord finally recovered and rushed towards the third level of heavenly tribulation.
At this time, Yuan Qingque looked around again.
He discovered that there were more than a dozen spiritual images following him.
This means that they are at least at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
But soon, there will be only single digits left.
Thinking of this, Yuan Qingque and Bailong had already entered the third level of heavenly tribulation. This was a world of ice. Snowflakes floated down and landed on Bailong, making him, who possessed extremely cold spiritual blood, feel comfortable. However, his originally agile body began to slowly become sluggish.
"careful!"
The void around Yuan Qingque was distorted, which meant that the temperature outside was so low that even his body could not bear it. He would be frozen and shattered the moment of contact.
He immediately cast a warm talisman and blessed the white dragon.
The Demon Lord also reacted at this time, and he almost turned around and was assimilated by the extreme cold power here.
After receiving the blessing of Yuan Qingque's talisman, its purple palace sea of consciousness, which had been half frozen, began to function and immediately burned its white dragon spirit blood.
After fighting desperately, the Demon Lord finally got rid of the influence of this icy disaster temporarily.
When its spiritual consciousness started to work again, it was pleasantly surprised to find that a crack had appeared in its bottleneck. If it could survive this severe calamity and absorb the power of the extremely cold ice soul here for a long time, it might be able to break through the shackles of the fifth level and become the sixth level, a true white dragon.
At this time, the circulation of the Nine Heavens True Qi in Yuan Qingque's body became more and more vigorous. His eyes were like the sun, shining in all directions and melting the ice and frost blocking his way.
The white dragon did not dare to delay upon seeing this, and exerted his spiritual power. His dragon breath was like a warm current, melting the ice for thousands of miles.
While they were climbing towards the fourth level of heavenly tribulation, nine more rays of spiritual light rushed up.
In the Tianhe Realm, there are indeed only a handful of True Gods who can survive the triple heavenly tribulation.
Yuan Qingque saw a few familiar people and nodded slightly.
Those people also responded politely.
As the last snowflake melted, Yuan Qingque rode the white dragon and broke into the fourth level of heavenly tribulation.
Among the remaining nine True Lords of Transformation, six hesitated and stayed where they were.
Only two swords and a colorful phoenix followed him into the fourth level.
There was also a ray of shadow that was not noticed by these True Lords of Transformation. It squinted its narrow eyes and silently entered the fourth level of heavenly tribulation.
The fourth level contained chaotic power of the void. This ray of shadow had just entered and had not even opened its eyes for a while when it was suddenly torn into countless pieces.
And at the moment the shadow shattered, in a water palace hidden in the deepest part of the five continents and four seas, a young man covered in black smoke spat out a mouthful of blood.
“This fourth level is so terrifying that it cannot be passed without becoming a Lianxu. I’m afraid only the Huashen Zhenjun of Taixu Piaomiao Palace who have mastered the power of the origin of the void can possibly pass it.”
The young man recalled the last scene before his mind was shattered by the void, and spoke with lingering fear.
He thought he was the best demon in Tianhe Realm.
His cultivation is so high that even the top gods in the Zhongzhou Holy Land are not to be taken seriously.
He even went into the Tianhai Jellyfish Palace once. Although he was discovered, he still came out alive.
However, he did not expect that under the measurement of this heavenly tribulation of ascension, he discovered that his cultivation was not the best in the world.
There is no need to mention Yuan Qingque's Lianxu sword. The two swords in Zhongzhou are actually better than his.
However, this peek into the ascension tribulation is not without benefits.
At least the young man found his next path.
……
During the fourth heavenly tribulation, Yuan Qingque finally took action. His eyes were as bright as brilliant stars, dazzling and brilliant. The Lianxu chapter of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture finally lit up again in the Tianhe Realm after thousands of years.
The white dragon also tried its best, but its realm was completely inadequate at this time. Amid the dragon roar that shook the heavens and the earth, the dragon's body kept twisting and its scales shattered piece by piece.
It tried to dissolve the power of the void and freeze the void with its own true spiritual power.
This had a certain effect, but compared to the endless heavenly calamity, its true spiritual power would be exhausted one day.
After only walking one-third of the way, Bai Long reached his limit.
With a shrill dragon roar, its dragon scales began to shatter and fly, and dragon blood spilled into the sky, turning into dazzling cold rays of light.
This bought it some time again.
When Yuan Qingque saw this scene, he cast all the talismans that he could cast and were useful at this time on the white dragon, wanting it to share as much of the power of the heavenly tribulation as possible.
According to the ascension experience of the ancestors of the Jiu Tian Dang Mo Sect, the longer Bai Long can hold on, the more vitality he can preserve.
With the help of the sixth-level talisman, Bailong once again advanced one-third with difficulty.
But this is already the limit.
With the last dragon roar, its body turned into countless points of light and was shattered by the endless power of the chaotic void into frost that drifted all over the sky.
Yuan Qingque, who saw this scene, sighed softly, then used his escape technique to break away from the white dragon's body.
After the white dragon was gone, Yuan Qingque began to go all out. He summoned his own natal flying sword, and with the man and sword becoming one, he was like a brilliant arrow, flying the last third of the distance and rushing into the fifth level of the heavenly tribulation.
At this time, the other three True Gods who had entered the fourth level of heavenly tribulation had to stop.
They waited here for a while, and faintly heard the earth-shaking sounds of swords, as well as energy fluctuations that were so terrifying that even their souls and Dharma images could not help but tremble.
The colorful glow seemed to be extremely bright at one moment, but soon dimmed.
They did not see the final scene of Yuan Qingque transcending the nine-fold heavenly tribulation.
I don't know whether he succeeded or failed.
After being enveloped by the spiritual light of ascension, unlike them, he could not retreat at any time if he could not survive the heavenly tribulation, but he could only be carried by the spiritual light of ascension all the way to the Lingkong Immortal Realm.
After waiting for a few more days, it was confirmed that no movement could be detected, and all the True Lords of Transformation had left the Nine Heavens Tribulation.
Among the five continents and four seas, those large sects with long-standing heritage do have the means to connect with the upper realm.
But this is the foundation.
It can only be used proactively when the sect is on the verge of extinction, or when a major event or catastrophe changes the fate of the Tianhe Realm.
At other times, they, the disciples in the lower world, can only passively wait for the teachings from the ancestors in the upper world.
Naturally, they didn't dare to waste the opportunity to communicate with the ancestors of the upper realm just for the sake of whether Yuan Qingque had succeeded in ascending.
However, the news of Yuan Qingque's successful practice of Lianxu from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect was soon known to all forces in the five continents and four seas.
Considering that the last monk who ascended to heaven, Yi Yuan Zhen Jun, also came from Dongzhou, many people feel that Dongzhou is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery.
But soon, someone noticed how weak the Jiu Tian Dang Mo Sect was now.
After Yuan Qingque ascended to heaven, there was no longer a True Lord Huashen in charge of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect.
The other major forces in the five continents and four seas that do not have the Lianxu inheritance are all ready to make a move.
But this matter definitely needs to be tested.
Soon, the Black Dragon, the incarnation of the Black Dragon King's Court, received many secret communication talismans.
Donghuang!
Chen Mobai naturally also got the news.
The spiritual light of ascension penetrated the sky and the earth, and could be seen throughout Dongzhou. Although the Five Elements Sect did not have a deep foundation, its ancestor was the One Yuan Zhenjun after all.
When Patriarch Hunyuan was in the Five Emperors Mountain, he was not allowed to read the inheritance of Yiyuan Taoist Palace's skills, but he had no restrictions on reading miscellaneous books on local customs and practices.
Among them is the fourth generation Palace Master of Yiyuan Taoist Palace, who recorded the grand occasion of the ascension of Yiyuan Zhenjun.
The same colorful rays of light, the same ascending spiritual light.
The news that Yuan Qingque was practicing Xu made Chen Mobai breathe a sigh of relief.
At least there is no need to worry about the battle between good and evil.
If Yuan Qingque is unable to completely eliminate the evil spirit after practicing the void, Chen Mobai feels that his title of Dongzhou's number one cultivator is somewhat unworthy of its title.
After the aura of ascension disappeared, Chen Mobai immediately called Chu Zuoshu Yue Zutao over and asked them to find out the situation outside at all costs.
The Five Elements Chamber of Commerce has many partners outside of the Eastern Wilderness, and these are all in contact with Master Chu Zuoshu and his disciple.
Even Shen Shanqing from Tiancanlou was invited by Chen Mobai.
Tiancanlou is indeed a company that specializes in selling intelligence, and it actually has first-hand information.
It’s not that Yuan Qingque Lianxu killed the three gods of the demon sect, but now on the border between Dongtu and Dongli, the demon sect has been defeated, and the righteous Dongzhou sect, led by Xuande Daozi of the Daode Sect, has chased them into the territory of Dongli.
On the other hand, on the demonic side, many large sects had their mountain gates breached.
It seemed that he had lost even the will to resist and simply gave up half of Dongli's territory.
"Master Chen, I'm afraid it won't be long before Dongli will be incorporated into our righteous territory."
When Shen Shanqing told the news, he couldn't help but look happy.
In Dongli, there are various sects and schools that inherit the Dongzhou magic path. For tens of thousands of years, the Holy Land of the East has wanted to eradicate the magic path and take over Dongli.
When he was in the Eastern Land Imperial Court, the Human Emperor achieved this.
After the Eastern Land Imperial Court collapsed, the Dongzhou righteous forces pushed the battle line into the Dongli territory at most, and their record has never been as brilliant as it is now.
"Thank you for your hard work, Chef Shen. If you have any information in the future, please pass it to my sect as soon as possible."
After Chen Mobai learned about the situation on the East Land front, he politely escorted Shen Shanqing out of the Beiyuan City Hall in person.
At this moment, Liu Wenbai flew over hurriedly and handed him a message token.
"Master, a letter from the East!"
Shen Shanqing, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but stop when he heard this.
After Chen Mobai took it and looked at it, he found that it was Ye Qing's.
He glanced at Shen Shanqing, who immediately tactfully said goodbye.
The content of Ye Qing's letter just filled in the gap that Tiancanlou didn't know.
He had reminded Chen Mobai tactfully before because the matter of Yuan Qingque's training in emptiness must not be leaked, in case the demons knew about it and the three great gods escaped.
In that case, even if Yuan Qingque had reached the realm of Lianxu, at most he would have to hunt down one of them, and then he would have to ascend.
After all, things like message talismans could be intercepted by someone.
Now that the situation has been decided, Ye Qing directly told Chen Mobai everything.
Among these, what made Chen Mobai happiest was not only the death of the three evil gods, but also the fact that the Demon Lord in the Tongtian Refining Tower was also taken away by Yuan Qingque.
Although the monsters that entered the Tongtian Refining Tower have never escaped in the past tens of thousands of years, the Demon Lord is, after all, a true spirit in the form of a god, the most powerful existence in the Tianhe Realm.
As long as it survives, Chen Mobai, who buried millions of monsters in the desolate sea and killed the five monster kings of Wanxian Island, will not be able to rest in peace.
"It's a good thing you left. It would be even better if you died in the ascension calamity!"
After reading Ye Qing's letter, Chen Mobai couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Pass on my order, Five Elements Sect disciples, get ready!"
After putting away the message talisman in his hand, Chen Mobai called E Yun over again.
Now that the three demon gods are dead and the Black Dragon King's court has retreated, some of the monsters in the wasteland are still confused and wandering outside the Eastern Wasteland.
Among them, not only was Jin Yan Suanni only concerned with escaping, but also the monsters in the ruins had no upper or lower level command and were very scattered.
Some smart ones had already led their tribes back into the ruins when the Golden Flame Suanni retreated, even deeper than before, to avoid subsequent pursuit by human cultivators.
Without the threat of the divine spirit, Chen Mobai and the Five Elements Sect could kill all the monsters in the ruins outside Beiyuan City.
Following his order, the Five Elements Sect's army assembled in the shortest possible time.
Mo Douguan couldn't come because he was in Fengyu Fairy City.
However, Chen Mobai still has Zhou Ye to command.
Two complete Five Elements Taoist battle formations rose up outside Beiyuan City. Ten huge Taoist soldiers, like gods descending from heaven, controlled the vast vitality of heaven and earth and headed towards the ruins.
Wherever he passed, the earth shook.
……
Tongtian Refining Tower, the third floor.
The Holy Demon Fetus, who was closing his eyes to comprehend the skills taught by the Demon Lord, suddenly had a crystal scale appearing between his eyebrows.
Then its expression suddenly twisted, and a cold aura emanated from its body.
Its strange situation also attracted the attention of other monsters with true spirit blood in the third layer.
Some of them had a great hatred for the Heavenly Demon Holy Fetus, and seeing that it was about to die, they could not help but make a move from the darkness, their sharp claws and teeth shining, striking the Heavenly Demon Holy Fetus' neck, heart and other vital parts.
However, a stream of white light surged out from the body of the Heavenly Demon Holy Embryo, and in an instant, the two attacking monsters were frozen into ice sculptures.
With a crackling sound, they turned into pieces of meat and fell to the ground.
