We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

This world has existed for tens of millions of years since the beginning of time.

In addition, there are various illusory parallel universes, in which the number of intelligent beings born is countless. Even if the probability of a "variable" appearing is only one in a trillion, the number of such variables is still countless.

Of these variables, not all are powerful.

Some variables are as powerful as the Monkey King causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, while others are as weak as ants, whose lifespan in this world is less than that of a mayfly.

Some may only survive for a fleeting moment.

Everything in the world is interconnected and mutually restraining; as the saying goes, there is always a cure within three steps.

Therefore, the most common way to deal with "variables" is to turn them into constants.

The most common and effective method is to incorporate this "variable" into the six realms of reincarnation in this world.

Even the mighty Monkey King fell victim to such tactics.

When the soul of the Monkey King was successfully captured by Ox-Head and Horse-Face, he was no longer the Monkey King, but had become the Victorious Fighting Buddha.

We've already been outmaneuvered.

Therefore, as long as Shen Bailian's soul, this "variable," is captured by Ox-Head and Horse-Face, it means that Shen Bailian's true name will appear in the Book of Life and Death.

From then on, they had an official identity card for this world, and no longer had to worry about unleashing too much power and attracting the attention of the world consciousness, thus incurring a tribulation or being directly expelled.

The downside is that without becoming a true god, one can never escape the suffering of the six realms of reincarnation, and one's lifespan will be greatly limited.

Commonly known as the barrier between life and death.

"Damn it, I really got tricked." The black bear spirit received Guanyin's telepathic message and felt sad instead of happy.

At this point, it became even more certain that this was a trap set for it.

Its fist clenched tightly amidst the cracking of its bones. Rather than taking Shen Bailian alive to Mount Putuo, it hoped to take this opportunity to devour the essence of the calamity-bringer's flesh and blood after the calamity-bringer died.

But now? All its ideas have come to nothing!

This time, let alone making any profit, it would be good enough if we didn't lose money.

"Damn it, I can't volunteer again next time." Black Bear secretly made up his mind that he absolutely could not be tricked again because of greed.

Whether it can actually remember it is unclear.

Whoosh!
Having said that, the Black Bear Spirit no longer wasted any more time and rushed towards the direction where Bai Suzhen had transformed into a dragon with all his might. After all, whether he stuck his head out or not, he would still get killed.

If you arrive early, you can take this opportunity to loosen up your muscles and bones. After hundreds of years on Mount Putuo, all you do every day is chant Buddhist scriptures and prayers, and your hands are itching to get back to work.

I just hadn't found a suitable opportunity to loosen up my muscles and bones, and this just happened to be the perfect opportunity.

It now only hopes that the person destined for this calamity won't be beaten half to death by Bai Suzhen, who has already begun to transform into a dragon; otherwise, things would become much less interesting.

As for whether Bai Suzhen can suppress Shen Bailian?

The Black Bear Spirit had no doubt about this. In this world, although the Dragon Clan had been demoted to the Demon Clan and had an extremely low status, even inferior to the Human Clan.

But this does not mean that the dragon race is weak; quite the opposite is true.

As one of the many innate races in the first immeasurable eon, the dragon race is not only powerful and numerous, but its bloodline also has a strong infectiousness and is extremely domineering.

Any bloodline, after being fused with the bloodline of the dragon race, will be forcibly transformed into the bloodline of the dragon race.

Because of their powerful characteristics, after the Heavenly Court and the Western Spirit Mountain system were established, they both began to suppress the status of the Dragon Clan in the Three Realms.

Ninety percent of the dragon race's elite forces were dispatched to the Eye of the South Sea Whirlpool to suppress the karmic beasts created in ancient times due to the great calamity of heaven and earth.

Only a few big cats and little cats remain, maintaining the last vestiges of the dragon race's dignity, but that's all they can do; they can't even dream of anything more.

The Jinghe Dragon King was beheaded simply because he sent down an extra drop of rain.

This clearly shows how severely the dragon race has been suppressed, and how powerful the dragon race was in the past, causing the gods and Buddhas to be so terrified that they frequently put the dragon race to a test of obedience.

As an intermediate state between snake and dragon, once a dragon successfully transforms into a jiao, its strength will experience an exponential leap.

And what about Shen Bailian?
According to the information the Black Bear Spirit received from Guanyin, he was merely a Celestial Realm martial artist with some talent.

He is still some distance from the realm of a terrestrial immortal, and there is currently no sign of any magical power emanating from him.

If you don't become an immortal, you'll remain an ant.

How can we contend with the Jiaolong?
In the Black Bear Spirit's view, it was already quite good that Shen Bailian wasn't killed directly by the enraged Bai Suzhen, so it had to get there as soon as possible.

"Young brother, you must hold on..." The black bear spirit prayed silently for Shen Bailian as he traveled.

He wasn't afraid that Shen Bailian would be killed by Bai Suzhen, but rather that the blame for the unfortunate death of the person destined for calamity would fall on his head.

It's truly like a mute eating bitter melon—unable to express their suffering.

at the same time.

"boom!"

"Boom! Crack! Crash—!"

At this moment, above the mountains and in the sky, thunderclouds rolled, and the dark clouds turned into inky blue thunderclouds, making the scene almost eerie.

Above Bai Suzhen's enormous, winding body, there were swirling, dark thunderclouds, with purple lightning like snakes emitting terrifying hissing sounds, and thunderbolts like dragons weaving freely through the sea of ​​lightning.

The winds and clouds were turbulent, presenting a scene of impending doom and disaster.

"It's over, it's over... it's completely over." Xiaoqing stared blankly at the inky sky, tears streaming down her face, murmuring softly to herself.

She knew she had warned him too late.

At this moment, Xiaoqing could already sense the aura of the tribulation lightning. That domineering aura, the Nine Heavenly Tribulations of Bai Suzhen transforming into a dragon, was already brewing and had entered a state of preparation.

As for Bai Suzhen's current state, compared to her peak, her strength is now less than one-tenth of what it used to be.

In this precarious state, like a candle flickering in the wind, coupled with Bai Suzhen's karmic burdens, her desire to safely overcome the Nine Heavenly Tribulations of transforming into a dragon was nothing short of wishful thinking, a certain death.

"Is this all there is to my life...?" At this moment, Bai Suzhen looked up at the sky with her amber eyes, which were as big as lanterns. She was surprised to find that she was not as panicked as she had thought before. Instead, she felt a strange calm.

Perhaps it was because of the blows of this series of events that her heart was too weary, and that she reached an unprecedented state of peace when facing death.

"Boom!"

With a crisp sound, Bai Suzhen's face showed a look of astonishment, because she discovered that her state of mind had actually made a further breakthrough at this critical moment of life and death.

She broke through the bottleneck that had held her back for over a century.

This should have been a joyous occasion, but at this moment, under the shadow of a life-or-death crisis, that joy vanished with the raging wind.

"It's just a pity... that I can't grow old with my husband, and I can't make up for what I owe Xiaoqing." Bai Suzhen looked at Xiaoqing in the distance, tears streaming down her face, and her eyes also became moist.

In her short life of just over a thousand years, she felt she had never wronged anyone, except for Xiaoqing and Xu Xuan, especially the former.

Logically speaking, the larger one should give way to the smaller one.

But the reality is quite the opposite. At crucial moments, although Xiaoqing might mutter words of opposition, she always shows 100% support for her in action.

"What will happen if I help your sister through her tribulation?" Just as Xiaoqing was sinking into despair, she suddenly heard a voice in her ear, instantly pulling her back to reality.

"Wh-what?!" Xiaoqing's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Shen Bailian behind her, who remained calm and composed, as if nothing in the world could move this man.
"Say it again, what did you just say?"

Xiaoqing thought she was hallucinating. Could there really be someone in this world who was so naive?

Helping others overcome tribulations? Listen to what they're saying, is that even human language?

This is not helping people, it's harming them.

"I was wondering if there would be any negative consequences if I were to help your sister through her tribulation?" Shen Bailian looked at Xiaoqing's bewildered expression and immediately wondered if the previous incident had made her brain go blank and her ears go deaf.

They can't even understand this kind of colloquial language.

He wasn't speaking some kind of encrypted language, like Guangdonghua or Minnan dialect...

"No, that won't do." Xiaoqing quickly refused. She then realized that Shen Bailian was just a martial artist in the mortal realm, although this martial artist was terrifyingly strong.

Therefore, it is understandable that they do not understand the common knowledge of the cultivation world.

"You can't go! If you go to help my sister through her tribulation, it will make Him think you are challenging the authority of the tribulation, and He will increase the power of the tribulation by dozens of times based on the strength of the strongest being."

It is very likely that the current First Nine Heavenly Tribulation will be upgraded to the powerful Third Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

At that time, it will truly be a certain death; both of you will be reduced to ashes under the lightning tribulation.

As she spoke, Xiaoqing quickly turned around and transformed into a giant azure python, coiling around Shen Bailian and restricting his movements.

If it were someone else undergoing the tribulation, and Shen Bailian wanted to help, Xiaoqing would definitely agree wholeheartedly. But since the person undergoing the tribulation was her sister Bai Suzhen, Shen Bailian absolutely could not help.

Otherwise, Bai Suzhen's only chance of survival would also be extinguished.

However, Xiaoqing had no idea about Shen Bailian's true situation, because the latter was not a martial artist in this world, so he could not be judged in the way that ordinary martial artists do.

"ten times?!!"

"No, it's dozens of times. Even if you cultivate to become a terrestrial immortal, you might not be able to withstand the Tribulation of the Three Nine Heavens." Xiaoqing's expression was solemn as she tried to persuade Shen Bailian to give up this crazy behavior.

She didn't want to see Bai Suzhen, whose strength was already less than one-tenth of what it used to be, suffer even more.

'A tribulation of lightning power dozens of times stronger, upgraded from the first nine-day tribulation to the third nine-day tribulation. If that's true, I might as well give it a try.' Shen Bailian looked at the dark clouds poised to strike and felt inexplicably excited.

He ignored Xiao Qing's actions because the difference in strength between the two was too great. If he really had any ideas, not only Xiao Qing, but even the Golden-haired Hou couldn't stop him.

Looking at the data panel that appeared before him, Shen Bailian had to admit that he was indeed tempted.

The level 2 passive skill, Steel Body, results in a snail-paced experience gain during normal training, let alone after reaching level 5.

This tribulation of lightning is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Shen Bailian to increase the experience value of his passive skill, [Iron Body].

While skill points can be used to upgrade and advance skills, this would mean that most of the skill's enhancement effect would be wasted.

If you upgrade the Steel Body skill from level four to level five by grinding experience points, the increase in physical attributes will be much more than just 0.7 levels.

It would be more like double.

Using skill points to upgrade skill levels and gain attribute values ​​is only a last resort. The correct way to use this talent is to grind experience points to upgrade skill levels.

"You must never think of using lightning tribulation to temper your body, because martial artists who think that way have already reincarnated several times in the underworld. Lightning tribulation is different from ordinary lightning; its power is completely incomparable..." Xiaoqing looked at Shen Bailian and continued to persuade him.

She was afraid that Shen Bailian might get carried away and try to use the lightning tribulation to temper his body, which would not only fail to temper his body but also turn the one-nine lightning tribulation into a three-nine lightning tribulation, ultimately killing Bai Suzhen.

However, once Shen Bailian made up his mind, how could Xiaoqing persuade him to give up?

boom!
A loud explosion suddenly rang out.

Xiaoqing was shocked to discover that she had lost sight of Shen Bailian; he had vanished so quickly that she couldn't react, leaving only an echo:
"Don't come any closer. Trust me, my strength far exceeds your imagination."

"Damn it! I don't believe you!" Xiaoqing cursed angrily. Looking at the terrifying scene in the distance, tears fell uncontrollably. She knew it was over, everything was over.

All of this was because she was too weak.

If she hadn't been so weak, Bai Suzhen wouldn't have been overwhelmed and severely injured in the battle against the flooded Jinshan Temple; if she hadn't been so weak, the two of them wouldn't have had to endure being bullied; if she hadn't been so weak, they wouldn't have been unable to stop Shen Bailian...

"Strength! I want strength!" The blue scales rustled as they rubbed together.

If this were a normal, extraordinary world, Xiao Qing would surely attract the affections of many chaotic life forms. However, this is a world of absolute order.

The Heavenly Court and Buddhism, high above the nine heavens, have maintained their ruling position for tens of thousands of years.

As the one destined to face this calamity, Xiaoqing had already encountered many twists and turns. At this moment, no one dared to provoke Guanyin.

Before taking any action, a quick calculation revealed that there was no chance of survival. (End of Chapter)
