Chapter 1004 The Heavenly Tribulation Arrives, Cultivating the Nine Revolutions Lotus Technique!
The water monkey gave a dry laugh.

With Chen Yang's strength, if he didn't want to help it, he could have simply killed it. Why go through all this trouble and use medicine to poison it? Wouldn't that be a waste of medicine?
In reality, the water monkey knew exactly what was going on.

Danyangzi once said he would help it, but he only talked the talk and didn't walk the walk. He just made empty promises and made it run errands and risk its life.

Chen Yang is the real man of action.

It prefers dealing with Chen Yang.

"Do you know how to break through?" Chen Yang asked.

The water monkey nodded and raised its furry paw, which held two pills.

These were the two Divine Fiend Pearls that Chen Yang had given it before, and it hadn't had time to refine them in the past two days.

Its current situation is similar to Chen Yang's; both are close to breaking through, just one last step away. The energy of the two Divine Fiend Pearls is enough for it to take that step.

"Well then, it's up to you now. Don't worry, I'll keep watch nearby. If the Heavenly Tribulation changes, don't be afraid. The Tribulation Transformation Pill should be enough to help you get through this tribulation!"

……

Chen Yang gave the water monkey some instructions, then led Mo Yuan out of the valley.

The rest is up to the water monkey itself.

The tribulation itself is its own affair, and others can only offer limited assistance.

……

Outside the valley.

Chen Yang tried to stay away from the area, found a clearing in a birch forest, lit a campfire, took out the boxed lunch he had prepared before coming in from the system warehouse, and ate heartily.

He is also on the verge of a breakthrough. If he doesn't stay far away, he might be accidentally injured when the heavenly tribulation comes.

He wasn't ready to face the tribulation yet.

"Why is there still no movement?" Mo Yuan peeked out and looked towards the valley.

It's been over an hour, and there's still no sign of the gathering of ominous clouds.

"What's the rush? It's not like you're the one undergoing tribulation!"

Chen Yang, however, remained calm and composed. "Don't they need to take their time? Just wait patiently!"

Mo Yuan said awkwardly, "I'm just afraid that water monkey will chicken out and won't dare to break through, thus wasting Master's pills!"

It's clearly an impatient person.

It's been so long, and it still hasn't attracted any tribulation lightning. I really don't know what this water monkey is up to. If it's really scared and doesn't dare to break through, then it's a real waste of its energy.

Chen Yang didn't care. After dinner, he took out one of the Divine Fiend Pearls that Bashe had given him.

The essence of divine and evil energy contained in this bead is incomparable to ordinary divine and evil energy. Its level of refinement is probably comparable to immortal spiritual energy; otherwise, it would not be able to drive the Mountain Lord Seal.

"Mo Yuan!"

By the light of the campfire, the Divine Fiend Beads glowed red like flames. Chen Yang said to Mo Yuan, "Do you think if we engraved explosive incantations on these beads, they could explode like prayer beads?"

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan's furry face visibly twitched.

This is such a sudden and unexpected idea.

It thought for a moment and said, "It should be possible. This bead is made of top-grade jade, and divine energy is also energy. There's no reason why it can't explode when the inner core can!"

The energy within the inner core is the true essence accumulated by the spirit beast, while the divine energy within this Divine Fiend Pearl is the divine fiend true essence refined by the Bashe.

Both are true essence energy; there's no reason why one can detonate while the other can't.

Mo Yuan said, "However, the divine and evil energy within this bead is of a higher and more violent level than ordinary true essence energy. If it were to explode, it would likely be even more terrifying than an inner core explosion. Master, you should think twice..."

The idea is good, but it's a bit crazy.

The divine energy within this bead is comparable to celestial spiritual energy. If it were to explode, Mo Yuan dared not even imagine how powerful it would be.

"Try it!"

Chen Yang, however, was fearless and, having come up with this idea, he wanted to give it a try.

He immediately instructed Mo Yuan to keep an eye on the water monkeys, and then summoned a Spirit Realm Bone-Eating Beetle. He didn't rashly try the Divine Fiend Bead given to him by the Bashe, but instead took out an ordinary Fiend Qi Bead that the system had previously rewarded him with, to see if it would work.

When he solved the Twelve Zodiac Signs Tai Sui Facing Heaven Formation in the past, the system rewarded him with these things quite a bit.

He didn't need these things himself; he mostly used them to cultivate bone-eating beetles, though he still had some left.

These beads are not as big as the Divine Fiend Beads given by the Bashe, their energy level is far inferior, and their quantity is incomparable. They are best used for experiments and practice. Even if they explode, their power will not be much.

The bone-eating beetle, carrying the evil energy pearl, flew a long way and landed in a secluded, open place.

Only then did Chen Yang begin to inscribe the detonation incantation into the evil energy bead through the spiritual imprint on the Mountain Lord's Seal and from the perspective of this bone-eating beetle, using his primordial spirit energy.

Although it was just an ordinary evil energy bead, Chen Yang was still fully focused and extremely careful.

Mo Yuan stood guard beside him, unsure of what to say.

Chen Yang, this guy, sometimes really has a flash of inspiration, a sudden burst of brilliant ideas, and his desire to invent and create is really strong.

Time passed second by second, but there was still no movement from the water monkey's side.

Chen Yang's side went smoothly. With his previous experience in making inner core prayer beads, he finished inscribing the explosive incantation on the evil energy bead in just over ten minutes.

Furthermore, the experiment was completed.

Successfully detonated.

The bead didn't contain much malevolent energy, but the explosive power was still considerable, creating a large crater in the ground.

The damage should be enough to injure someone at the Creation Realm, but it would probably be a bit of a stretch for someone at the Dao True Realm.

Chen Yang was quite satisfied, at least it proved that the method worked.

As for the issue of power, that's not a problem either.

He took out a divine pearl given to him by the Bashe, preparing to mount the big guy.

Having practiced before, Chen Yang was already quite adept at inscribing explosive incantations, and he rarely made mistakes anymore.

Therefore, Chen Yang was very confident.

They immediately began making the amulets.

If this thing could be made, its power would probably be even greater than that of the inner alchemy prayer beads. Chen Yang dared not take it lightly and devoted himself entirely to it.

……

"Rumble..."

It was late at night, just past midnight.

Suddenly, a flash appeared in the dark night sky.

The wind rises, and dark clouds gather.

The already pitch-black night sky suddenly seemed to be coated with another layer of thick ink. The clouds were very low, and lightning flashed from time to time, making a rumbling sound, as if countless ancient ferocious beasts were roaring from behind the clouds.

An invisible sense of oppression permeated the world, and the forest, which had been filled with the chirping of insects and birds, immediately fell into a deathly silence.

"coming!"

Mo Yuan looked up at the sky; thunderclouds were gathering over the distant valley.

It was actually relieved; if the monkey hadn't come, it would have thought it had run away.

Even a simple tribulation can take this long to overcome.

It doesn't even want to complain.

However, you can't blame the water monkey for that. Before making a breakthrough, shouldn't he prepare and adjust his condition?

Although the Water Monkey is only one step away from the Dao True Realm, that step is not so easy to take.

At the same time, Chen Yang completed the carving of the second divine and evil prayer beads.

He was mentally exhausted and had no intention of continuing to make them.

Two is enough.

There are still six Divine Fiend Pearls left, given by the Bashe. They might come in handy later.

"call!"

Chen Yang put away the beads and let out a long sigh of relief.

There's another way to save your life.

He stood up and looked towards the valley.

A sudden gust of wind arose, causing the trees in the forest to sway from side to side, their branches creaking and cracking, and even the flames of the campfire to flicker wildly.

“The heavenly tribulation is approaching, and wind and rain will follow. Master, it looks like the rain will start soon. Shall we find a place to take shelter? I just saw a cave to the north…” Mo Yuan said.

Chen Yang nodded slightly and headed north with Mo Yuan.

The campfire hadn't gone out yet, but it naturally went out when the rain came.

To the north, there is a cliff with a cave at its base. It looks like a bear den, as you can see some fur and animal skeletons inside, but it has clearly been abandoned for a long time.

People in the martial arts world don't have so many rules.

"Crash!"

Just as they lit a fire inside the cave, a torrential downpour began outside.

The cave entrance is situated on higher ground, so there's no fear of rainwater flowing in.

Chen Yang stood at the cave entrance, which faced the valley where the water monkey was undergoing its tribulation.

"boom!"

A thunderclap seemed to explode overhead, making everyone's head buzz.

Amidst a deafening thunderstorm, a bolt of lightning ripped through the night sky, pierced the rain, and fell into a distant valley. Chen Yang's location was about two miles from the valley, just within the radar's range.

He can detect any unusual activity or troublemaking in the surroundings immediately.

However, in a situation like this, even if someone has a grudge against the water monkey, they probably wouldn't risk causing trouble by braving the lightning, since there's a risk of being accidentally injured by the lightning.

Generally speaking, those who want to cause trouble while someone is undergoing tribulation usually choose to do so right after the tribulation ends.

At that time, without the interference of tribulation lightning, and when the person undergoing the tribulation is weak, that is the truly dangerous moment.

"boom!"

Another bolt of lightning struck the valley.

The night sky was briefly illuminated by the arc of light.

The tribulation of the Dao True Realm is indeed much stronger than that of the Creation Realm, and the heavenly might is so oppressive that it makes people feel uncomfortable.

Chen Yang had witnessed Huang Daolin undergoing the Dao True Tribulation, and after a rough comparison in his mind, he felt that the differences were not significant.

However, it's uncertain whether there will be any unexpected changes.

The water monkey is, after all, a divine being, so there is a high possibility that the heavenly tribulation will turn into heavenly punishment.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Thunder was brewing, and it would strike every few minutes at most, but no one knew when it would happen.

Perhaps it was because the water monkey had taken the Calamity-Transforming Pill and developed an affinity for lightning-attribute energy that the Heavenly Tribulation showed no signs of change.

Chen Yang's heart was instead stirred with a restless desire. Drawn by the might of heaven, he even felt an urge to break through immediately.

He then instructed Mo Yuan to keep an eye on the water monkeys' situation before retreating back into the cave and sitting cross-legged by the campfire.

Even if a breakthrough is needed, it will have to wait until the Water Monkey breaks through.

If he breaks through at this time, it might affect the tribulation lightning of the water monkey. If the tribulation lightning changes, it might also cause his heavenly tribulation to change, which would truly be a loss.

The level of understanding had reached a critical point; the feeling of something about to burst forth was too intense, and he could no longer hold back.

What should I do? I can't hold it in any longer!

Chen Yang's forehead was covered in sweat, but the water monkey's tribulation was clearly not going to end anytime soon. He hoped that Chen Yang could at least hold out until the water monkey finished its tribulation.

By the way, the Nine Revolutions Lotus Technique.

Suddenly, the name of a cultivation technique popped into Chen Yang's mind.

Nine Revolutions Lotus Technique

One of the techniques left behind by Ye Huai'an.

This is a cultivation technique for the Creation Realm.

Unlike ordinary cultivation methods, which are more orthodox, the cultivation methods of the Creation Realm require the Three Flowers at the top of the head to undergo three cycles of withering and flourishing, and then be tempered by heavenly lightning, in order to condense the primordial spirit.

However, the Nine Revolutions Lotus Technique requires nine cycles of withering and nine cycles of flourishing in order to gather the primordial spirit.

This method consumes a great deal of energy, but the resulting primordial spirit is stronger than that of an ordinary primordial spirit.

Chen Yang's cultivation flower has only experienced two cycles of withering and flourishing; this final one is all that's left before he can step into the Dao True Realm.

If I were to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Lotus Technique, it would mean that I would have to go through seven more cycles of the withering and flourishing of the cultivation flower. If I cultivate now, I should be able to delay it until after the Water Monkey has completed his tribulation, right?

However, now that I have a primordial spirit, will the Nine Revolutions Lotus Technique still work?
Never mind, let's give it a try. If it really doesn't work, we'll have no choice but to take the risk and try again.

Immediately, Chen Yang mentally reviewed the mental techniques and practice routes of the Nine Revolutions Lotus Technique.

The eyes observe the nose, and the nose observes the heart.

Calming his mind, Chen Yang faced the sky with his five hearts facing upwards and directly circulated his inner energy, causing his true essence to rapidly flow through his body.

The three flowers emerged from the palace, passing through the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head, and quickly gathered into a golden lotus of 108 grades.

The petals unfolded, revealing a small, golden primordial spirit figure, about a foot tall, seated on a lotus platform.

At this moment, Mo Yuan sensed Chen Yang's primordial spirit aura, turned around, and witnessed this scene.

numb.

Scalp numbness.

Mo Yuan's expression suddenly changed. What was this guy planning to do? Was he trying to break through at this moment?

At the same time and in the same place, undergoing tribulation is a major taboo in cultivation. When the tribulation lightning affects each other, the probability of abnormal changes will greatly increase.

Moreover, the water monkey is a malevolent spirit, and its inherent potential for heavenly tribulations is already high. What you're doing is simply adding fuel to the fire.

It tried to stop Chen Yang, but it was too late.

At this moment, Chen Yang was already in a meditative state and could not be disturbed. Moreover, it clearly saw that the golden lotus of cultivation above Chen Yang's head was already shedding its petals.

It's already breaking through, what can stop it now?

Don't be reckless.

Mo Yuan felt like crying. It seemed that the only thing it could do now was to get away from Chen Yang as soon as possible to avoid being accidentally injured by the heavenly lightning.

……

The lotus leaves of the golden lotus fell off one by one. These fallen lotus leaves quickly decomposed and turned into pure golden energy, which was absorbed by the primordial spirit sitting on the lotus platform.

The primordial spirit figure was also slowly growing as it absorbed this energy.

"strangeness!"

As Mo Yuan was considering whether or not to run away, he suddenly felt something was strange.

Although the wind and rain were raging outside and the heavens were vast and mighty, it did not feel the wind and rain intensify or the heavens become stronger.

It stood at the entrance of the cave and looked up at the sky.

The thunderclouds didn't seem to be getting thicker; the lightning just kept falling towards the valley and didn't seem to affect this side.

Looking back into the cave, the petals of the golden lotus of cultivation above Chen Yang's head had almost all fallen off. Logically speaking, by this time, the heavenly tribulation should have already responded.

Mo Yuan, who had originally intended to run away, temporarily abandoned the idea.

His gaze was fixed on the golden lotus of cultivation above Chen Yang's head.

A golden lotus with a cultivation level of 108 is probably the only one it has ever seen in its life.

This kid has really gone too far.

It should be noted that even for it, the Golden Lotus cultivation level is only sixty-fourth grade.

The difference is a full 100%.

What is this concept?
Take, for example, the effect of golden lotus petals on a cultivator's cultivation level during a breakthrough.

A single petal can bring a one-grade improvement to the spiritual power of a cultivator in the Creation Realm.

Chen Yang has now cultivated his primordial spirit, so the improvement may not be as significant as the improvement in his divine sense, but even if it is only half a grade higher.

This cycle of the golden lotus's withering and flourishing will also bring Chen Yang a sixty-fourth-grade primordial spirit upgrade.

If it were him, his improvement would only be half that of Chen Yang.

Their Golden Lotus cultivation is of higher quality, and the benefits they receive from each breakthrough are greater than yours. The gap will only widen.

A breakthrough to the 108th grade of the Creation Realm elevates one's divine sense by 108 grades; a breakthrough to the 18th grade of the Creation Realm also elevates one's divine sense by 18 grades.

This is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people.

Moreover, among ordinary cultivators, a Golden Lotus of the 18th grade cultivation level is already considered above average.

It's easy to imagine how rare Chen Yang's 108th grade Golden Lotus cultivation level is.

While Mo Yuan was still in a daze, he saw that Chen Yang's bare lotus platform had begun to grow petals again.

One piece, two pieces...

The number is increasing.

Mo Yuan looked back at the sky again, but there was still no sign of the calamity clouds descending.

What's going on here?

Is God overwhelmed with work?
Looking back at Chen Yang, one could see that the petals on Chen Yang's lotus platform had grown to half their full potential, and the growth rate had slowed down as if it had run out of steam.

This……

Breakthroughs are like this; you need to have sufficient energy prepared. The regeneration of the Golden Lotus of Cultivation requires a lot of energy. If you can't supply enough energy, you may face failure in your breakthrough.

Many failed breakthroughs and died under the lightning tribulation, which is logically due to this.

Therefore, cultivators usually adjust their bodies to their best condition and prepare sufficient pills before the tribulation.

If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Yang will have to start taking drugs now.

A golden lotus with a cultivation level of 108 is not so easy to cultivate.

However, the next second, Chen Yang's actions surprised Mo Yuan once again.

While cultivating, Chen Yang did not take any pills, but instead took a Dao True Realm inner core and put it directly into his mouth.

He swallowed it whole.

"This guy……"

Mo Yuan was completely dumbfounded. Even if you are physically immaculate, you shouldn't be so arrogant.

That's an inner core from the Dao True Realm. The energy within is so strong and complex, can you withstand it? Do you have time to refine it?
Don't overeat.

Are young people these days all so intense in their cultivation?
Mo Yuan reached out a paw and touched his forehead, his heart filled with worry. What would he do if Chen Yang died and the Life and Death Curse within him activated?
……

At this moment, Chen Yang remained relatively calm.

He reviewed the Nine Revolutions Lotus Technique. With his current level, he was just one step away from the Dao True Realm. As long as he had enough energy, he could directly cultivate the Nine Revolutions Lotus Technique.
