Longzang

Chapter 1225 Me at 39 Degrees

Wei Yuan's gaze gradually moved upwards, but that finger blocked his view.

The boy had never expected such an enemy. His face was filled with despair as he huddled in the corner. But the moment he saw blood flowing from his fingertips, he suddenly went berserk, lunging forward and punching and kicking before biting down hard!
With that bite, the boy's mouth was full of blood, and several of his teeth were knocked out, but only a patch of blood remained on his golden finger, without breaking the skin at all.

The boy had no other choice, and in the end, he recklessly rammed his head into it!
There was another sound like a watermelon shattering; the boy slowly slipped and fell into the overflowing blood.

Wei Yuan's vision was plunged into darkness, disconnecting him from that inexplicable world. He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

Without a doubt, the boy bearing Wei Yuan's face was not merely a resemblance, but Wei Yuan himself—Wei Yuan from some other world or a fragment of time.

Wei Yuan's cultivation level was now completely different; even when communicating across distances, he could sense a different Daoist aura. It wasn't an illusion, but something that had truly happened. In a certain world, Ji Liuli and Wei Yuan were annihilated.

At this moment, Wei Yuan's mood was calm, as still as an ancient, unyielding ice field.

He left the immortal abode and flew to the tribulation arena specially set up by Qingming. Ji Liuli had already been in seclusion there for half a month, waiting for the right opportunity.

Wei Yuan was naturally unguarded here, and he walked straight into the quiet room where Ji Liuli was. The quiet room was completely empty, without even the slightest decoration. Ji Liuli was sitting cross-legged in the air, and a wisp of ethereal and otherworldly aura emanated from his body.

She slowly opened her eyes, lost in thought, and then said softly, "Don't be sad. It's just dying once, making the ascension to immortality a little more difficult. But you, you've died with me so many times, and you're still so young..."

Wei Yuan didn't expect her to come and comfort him, and his suppressed emotions suddenly erupted.

Ji Liuli sighed softly, landed on her feet, came to Wei Yuan, gently stroked his face, and said, "Look at you, you are an invincible great cultivator under the Immortal Heaven, why are you still crying?"

Why do they keep killing us?

Ji Liuli didn't know the answer either, and said, "I don't know, but our enemy is so persistent, there must be a good reason. It doesn't matter whether we know it or not."

"I'll figure it out."

The last fragment of the world was produced by the Buddha, while this time the finger that crushed the two was part of the golden body. By capturing the Buddha, we can uncover part of the truth.

Wei Yuan composed himself and asked, "How are you feeling? When are you going to undergo your tribulation?"

"I'm fine now, let's begin." A wisp of amber aura appeared above Ji Liuli's head, immediately connecting with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and tribulation clouds rapidly formed.

The tribulation clouds were lead-gray in color and covered a radius of a thousand miles. Although they were not as vast as Wei Yuan's tribulation clouds that stretched for thousands or tens of thousands of miles, they were still among the most powerful among cultivators in the world.

But when Wei Yuan was there, the tribulation clouds changed again, turning into bright red, illuminating the world!

When the mortals in the cities of Qingming saw the celestial phenomena overhead, most of them would simply utter a few words of praise before continuing with their own affairs. As citizens of Qingming, they didn't know much else, but they saw the various tribulation clouds most often.

The clouds in the sky grew brighter and brighter, and one could feel waves of heat descending from the heavens, like being in a desert at midday.

This is a fire tribulation, a true fire tempering the body, quite fitting for the occasion. Seeing that it wasn't a Heavenly Demon Tribulation or an Illusion God Tribulation, Ji Liuli's confidence greatly increased, and he rushed out of the meditation room, flying into the air.

White mist began to descend from the sky; these were actually extreme flames. As soon as they landed on her, Ji Liuli was immediately surrounded by bursts of light. All the magical treasures she had prepared for the tribulation were destroyed in the first wave of fire tribulation.

Ji Liuli didn't care. She was going to withstand the heavenly tribulation with her own body, and the magic treasures were just embellishments.

However, only a few pieces of fire fell, and suddenly the tribulation clouds turned white-gold, faintly revealing the aura of the earth!

In an instant, all the fiery clouds turned back, and the tribulation clouds began to concentrate towards the center, eventually leaving only a hundred miles. The tribulation clouds in the sky almost turned into a large white-gold sphere!
Suddenly, a thin beam of light fell from the sphere and landed on Ji Liuli! This beam of light was instantaneous and extremely hot. Ji Liuli's hair and eyebrows vanished instantly, and a layer of black appeared on his body, spreading rapidly throughout his entire being!
Her clothes and robes instantly vaporized and turned completely black, then turned grayish-white. The grayish-white color was blown away by the scorching wind, then turned black again, and then grayish-white again.

Wei Yuan's expression changed drastically. Ji Liuli's physical body couldn't withstand the intense heat; it was charred layer by layer and then refined into ashes. Being refined layer by layer by the heavenly tribulation was only possible because of Ji Liuli. If it were Bao Yun or Xu Henshui, they would likely be reduced to ashes in a matter of moments. The pillar of light also emitted a faint aura of Buddhist earth. It was well known that Buddhist power was particularly adept at refining. With its blessing, the power of the heavenly tribulation increased by another threefold!

The power of this heavenly tribulation is comparable to the tribulation of ascending to immortality!

Who can survive such a heavenly tribulation? If everyone were to face this, how many throughout history have been able to ascend to the highest realm? If not everyone is subject to this, then what kind of heavenly order is this?
Wei Yuan seemed to see an eye coldly watching him from an infinitely high place. Such was the injustice of fate!
Seeing that Ji Liuli was already emaciated and his skeleton was beginning to take shape, Wei Yuan did not hesitate any longer and immediately took out a sealed plan and made arrangements.

In an instant, countless cultivators were shaken, having received orders. They immediately put down their work and rushed to the nearest node of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

The tasks are all issued through the prosperity of the various realms, and each person has a clear and specific task, even though they don't know what the overall task is.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of cultivators arrived and began activating the formation.

Beneath the Immortal City, the Azure Netherworld Stone began to shimmer and emit a soft buzzing sound, vibrating the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

More and more cultivators arrived, and one by one, the formations began to activate, the humming and light of the boundary stones growing ever brighter. Wei Yuan had long since cultivated his Spiritual Mansion, and could touch dozens of Great Dao authorities. With the support of the formations, Wei Yuan's perception of the Great Dao of the Azure Netherworld became increasingly clear.

After a while, Ji Liuli was no longer recognizable as having much flesh and blood left; even his internal organs had been refined, leaving him as nothing more than a skeleton struggling to survive in the daylight.

Wei Yuan looked up at the sky, his divine sense already divided into countless forms, constantly issuing tasks and activating the formation.

A short while later, nearly 100,000 cultivators had taken their positions and begun operating the formation. However, at this moment, Wei Yuan suddenly noticed that several hundred cultivators were dawdling and had not arrived on time. Furthermore, dozens of others not only refused to go themselves but also deliberately blocked other cultivators from setting up their formations.

At this critical juncture, Wei Yuan issued an order directly through the prosperity of all realms, yet some people disobeyed? This was a matter of life and death, so Wei Yuan immediately activated the Zhou Tian Star Array, and fire rain fell from the sky, instantly burning those cultivators who tried to obstruct him to ashes!
Those who deliberately delayed were all marked as criminals and given half an hour to report to the prison; failure to do so would result in execution.

With such swift and decisive measures, no one dared to slack off, and finally, before the final deadline, most of the 120,000 cultivators who could take their positions in time were in place.

Wei Yuan mobilized the entire power of the Azure Netherworld, further enhanced by an array, and then let out a shout that resounded for thousands of miles! The entire Azure Netherworld Heavenly Dao trembled, and the sea of ​​clouds and the azure lake in Wei Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness instantly shrank dramatically, and the fortunes of billions of people vanished into thin air!

Under such immense power, heaven and earth trembled, and a huge rune slowly emerged within the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth within the Azure Nether range!
Above the sky, the smiles on the faces of the Arhats who had been watching with smiles vanished instantly. Upon seeing the runes, they panicked and immediately closed their eyes. However, one Arhat was a little slower, and golden tears immediately streamed from his tightly closed eyes.

The runes contained a portion of the "Three Realms Wish-Fulfilling Scripture" that Wei Yuan had not yet finished writing! This scripture was actually propelled by the fortunes of billions of people, powered by the power of the Azure Netherworld, and further blessed by more than 100,000 cultivators. The three forces were combined and directly imprinted on the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!
Higher up, a Buddha statue that had been serene was now filled with shock and anger, exclaiming, "How dare he?!"

Wei Yuan's actions were tantamount to acting on behalf of Heaven, subtly altering the Heavenly Dao of this realm. At this moment, he was not an immortal, but surpassed even a true immortal!
Having received this mark, even the will of Heaven is now limited, no longer able to act recklessly in the Azure Sky. For example, Heavenly Tribulations can no longer be changed or increased at will.

At this moment, Wei Yuan vaguely felt that he had touched the Heavenly Dao. Immediately, thousands of shimmering flames appeared in the azure sky and rose into the heavens. With each disappearance of a shimmering flame, a hole would appear in the tribulation clouds.

The originally pure white beam of light began to change color, turning from white to blue, then from blue to red, and finally to dark red.

Above the sky, an immense will appeared, seemingly extremely furious. Thunder roared in the clear sky, and countless bolts of lightning flashed and roared, but to no avail. No matter how it urged it, the tribulation clouds in the sky continued to dissipate, and in the end, even the pillar of light could not be maintained, dissipating into pieces of heavenly fire.

At this point, the will seemed to know that persisting was futile, so it let out a heavy snort, transformed into countless thunderbolts, and then dispersed the heavenly tribulation.

Wei Yuan looked up at the sky and suddenly said, "What you have been given today shall be repaid tenfold! Once this scripture is written, I will make sure that you incorrigible bastards are all imprisoned in cages!"

The sound reverberated through the heavens, its echoes lingering for a long time.

The sky above was clear, and all those random things had vanished.

The heavenly tribulation had ended, and Ji Liuli in the sky was now nothing but a charred skeleton. After a moment, cracks suddenly appeared on the charred remains, and then pieces peeled off, revealing a white jade-like skeleton.

Then, flesh and blood regenerated from the skeleton, layer upon layer, and in the blink of an eye, a completely new era of epochal descent was reborn between heaven and earth. The surrounding scenery changed, with crystal-clear mountains, their crimson light condensing into the sky, and fiery red immortal trees, their radiance overflowing. Amidst the misty haze, auspicious clouds drifted, and cinnabar and jade were scattered, their brilliance dazzling, truly a crystal-clear, radiant fairyland!
Ji Liuli opened her eyes, her pupils filled with flowing heavenly fire. She flashed and appeared beside Wei Yuan, whispering in his ear, "To borrow a phrase from the outer world… do you want to try me at 39 degrees Celsius?"
