Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Together we'll undergo the tribulation? He's not crazy. Even a fifth-rank Dao Lord can't withstand the tribulation of becoming an immortal. What makes Gu Qing think he can?

The main reason he dared to stay was still because of Taotie.

Due to the lock of the Ascension Tribulation, the space was indeed sealed and solidified, but this did not prevent Gu Qing from using the Great Divine Power of Devouring Heaven and Earth. Loose space was food, and solidified space was also food.

As long as the Gluttonous Head devours the Tribulation Thunder Pool, he can hitch a ride into the Jinyun Secret Realm and successfully escape the entanglement of the Old Demon Emperor.

He wouldn't show this, but instead, with a troubled expression, he kept dealing with the old demon emperor. As time passed, the tribulation clouds pressed down lower and lower.

The conversation could no longer be delayed.

Half of the enormous Tribulation Thunder Pool had already sunk into the skeletal maw of the Taotie head, and the old demon emperor appeared to be insane.

"I said, stop!"

Gu Qing turned a blind eye and a deaf ear.

They didn't even bother pretending anymore, unleashing the Devouring Heaven and Earth technique on their own, greatly accelerating the progress of devouring the Thunder Pool.

The devouring black dot exuded the aura of the Great Dao Laws. The old demon emperor could no longer bear it. He knew that the chance of successfully transcending the tribulation was extremely low, but he still had to hold onto a sliver of hope.

Otherwise, what's the difference between them and salted fish?
With the support of a grand formation, inherited treasures, a tribulation-crossing thunder pool, and the foundation of one of the Eight Desolate Demon Courts' secret realms, the possibility of surviving the first half of the ascension tribulation is still quite high.

He couldn't possibly stand by and watch Gu Qing really take away the Tribulation Lightning Pool; that would be tantamount to taking his life! What's more, this damned tribulation lightning was brought down by Gu Qing himself.

"---court death!"

The storm howled, like a pale blue, transparent barrier, suddenly spreading outward from the old monster's core, shattering everything he rejected and pushing it away for thousands of miles.

Seeing this, Gu Qing drew a circle with his left hand.

The devouring Dharma Wheels enveloped Gu Qing from all 360 degrees, and the storm was completely swallowed up by the black hole-like Dharma Wheels, which were unable to do anything to him for the time being.

Boom————

A thunderous roar erupted, and the old demon king, who was about to make his move, shuddered, his aura weakening at a visible speed.

Five storage bags appeared around him, and countless spiritual materials and utensils swarmed out, forming layers of overlapping arrays for protection.

He has no time!

The storm barrier from before even caused the Immortal Tribulation to become even more violent, and it immediately glared fiercely at Gu Qing:

"I'll remember you, you disgusting brat! If I live, I will skin you alive, tear out your tendons, imprison your soul, and exterminate your entire species, torturing you with Asura magic for thousands of years!"

"Heh, you won't have that chance."

Gu Qing shrugged indifferently, leaped into the Tribulation Thunder Pool, waved to the old demon emperor, and mouthed the word "goodbye".

The old demon king's expression changed, and he arrived beside Gu Qing in a single step, reaching out to grab him.

It turned out to be in vain.

This was actually a false body formed from divine consciousness.

"when……"

Not far away, Gu Qing emerged from the Thunder Pool. He had jumped into the Thunder Pool and separated many of his fake bodies based on the judgment of the old demon king. The energy of the Thunder Pool was too enormous, and they were standing close together.

It's actually quite normal to have difficulty distinguishing them.

"Karara—"

The space finally shattered, and the entire Tribulation Thunder Pool, along with the space itself, was bitten off by the Taotie's head. The white skeletal skull transformed into a beam of light and plunged into the earth.

Gu Qing's main body had already entered the Jinyun Secret Realm, far away, but thanks to the Five Elements Great Escape technique that had been enhanced in advance, the Taotie head was still able to run a very long distance in a short period of time.

This thing comes from the head of a fourth-grade Taotie, which was once capable of ascending to immortality. It can withstand the tribulation of becoming an immortal without being completely destroyed.

As long as you leave the core area, getting some lightning tribulation on the edge shouldn't be a big problem. (Center of the vortex-shaped tribulation clouds.)

With things having come to this, the old demon emperor was preparing to deal with the tribulation lightning with all his might, while the two demons, Luetian and Lietian, who had already fled, also gathered at the outermost edge of the tribulation clouds, looking up at the sky with solemn expressions and sighing.

“In ancient times, there were fourth-rank immortal lords who ascended to heaven after undergoing tribulations. Our ancestor is only at the fifth-rank extreme level. He has not even taken that step. The possibility of success is extremely low.”

The Demon Emperor of Rending Heaven spoke in a low voice, and the Eagle Emperor was also very annoyed.

In fact, there is a misconception in the Cangwu cultivation world, which only forces like the Twelve Immortal Sects, which have produced ascension immortals, know.

The so-called tribulation to become an immortal is a tribulation of ascension, which is different from the tribulation of the Great Dao.

According to ancient tradition, the standard for ascension to the rank of fourth grade is lower rank.

Reaching this level, releasing one's full power can trigger an ascension tribulation.

Reaching the fifth rank is considered an early ascension, and the difficulty is unimaginable.

That's why in the era of the Twelve Immortals, including the Immortal Lord of Baiyue, there were so many fourth-rank beings vying for power. To reach the pinnacle of the fifth rank, one still needed to undergo the Tribulation of Creation Thunder, completely transforming the grotto-heaven into a world, and only through death and rebirth could one successfully break through.

Because the two lightning tribulations are too close together, such misunderstandings and oversights can occur.

The situation facing the old demon emperor was not the tribulation of creation lightning to break through to the fourth rank, but the tribulation of ascension.

It's not so much a matter of nine deaths and one life, but rather a matter of ten deaths and no chance of survival.

Approaching too close to the upper limit that the Heavenly Dao of Cangwu can accommodate will result in death.

Gu Qing clearly knew this, and without any hesitation, he left without looking back! He was certain of the old demon emperor's fate.

…………

…………

at the same time.

Within the Jinyun Secret Realm, Gu Qing sat leisurely on the top floor of the Ancestral Artifact Tower, where eight dragon-headed fiery mouths continuously spewed forth the three thousand Great Dao Flames of a glazed hue.

It formed a sea of ​​crystal-clear fire.

One of the seal-shaped artifacts exuded the powerful aura of a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, ranking as a high-grade spiritual treasure. It was an upgrade from the Heavy Mountain Seal, and Gu Qing called it the [Earth Emperor Seal].

After 140 years of nurturing, perfectly integrating the heart of the earth's veins and the veins of the mountains, Gu Qing has been adding numerous earth-elemental magical treasures since returning from the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The Earth Mother's Xuanhuang Qi, high-grade earth veins, earth element essence, etc., flowed in an endless stream. He had just entered to take refuge when he discovered that this treasure was ready to be born.

In addition, there were seven other treasure gourds of different colors floating in the sea of ​​fire. They were still far from being the best, because they all came from the same gourd vine. Gu Qing used a lot of methods for refining array artifacts to process these materials.

It also has the potential to become a divine treasure.

After casting the sealing seal, the newly forged [Earth Emperor Seal] became Gu Qing's beloved possession.

If you want to advance to become a celestial artifact, simply stacking and engraving Dao patterns is no longer enough; you must inscribe a complete law.

The Earth Emperor Seal is an earth-elemental spiritual treasure, perfectly suited to the laws of the earth.

However, Gu Qing lacked expertise in this area. He was alright with the Earth Element Law, but the Earth Element Law, which was a higher level, was simply too difficult for him.

Therefore, the Earth Emperor Seal can forget about becoming a Celestial Artifact in the short term; it must use an external object containing the complete laws of the earth to complete the upgrade.

It has a yellowish-brown color and a jade-like sheen.

The seal of the dragon-carved mountain above was swallowed by Gu Qing and rotated with the demon swords in his sea of ​​qi, with the golden elixir in the very center.

The temporary shutdown was a pleasant surprise.

Gu Qing doesn't plan to leave anytime soon. Besides the beast's tomb, he obtained three of the four treasures on this trip, which definitely meets his expectations. (End of Chapter)
