I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 187 Dharma Appearance
Shock!

Shock!

I was shocked, utterly shocked!
Ancestor Ao Xiao was so shocked that he almost lost all the senses he had ever had in his life.

He had never seen anyone undergo tribulation like this before. Ordinary people would exert all their strength when undergoing tribulation, fearing that their tribulation lightning would be too powerful. But this person actually complained that the tribulation lightning was not powerful enough and took the initiative to increase the difficulty.

Ancestor Ao Xiao stroked the portable cave dwelling hanging from his waist, only now realizing that this magical artifact could be used in such a way. "If I did that too, bah, that would be courting death!!"

One by one, the "tools" were thrown out of Xiao Wuji's portable cave, triggering repeated heavenly tribulations, and the power of the tribulation lightning was rapidly increasing. Now, Xiao Wuji could no longer peacefully cultivate his supernatural powers.

The Great Luo Palace was repeatedly blasted away, and Xiao Wuji repeatedly piloted it towards the thunderclouds. Various laws of power were added to it, only to dissipate under the bombardment of thunder, leaving only a trace of the Dao on it.

However, through repeated practice, one day one will be able to imprint the Dao that one has mastered onto it. This is a unique method of crafting natal artifacts in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, and it is also the only way that Xiao Wuji could imprint the laws before becoming an immortal.

The so-called tribulation of lightning is both a calamity and an opportunity; only those with sufficient strength can seize it.

Not only the Great Luo Palace, but also the Immortal Execution Sword, the Eye of the Void, the Great Five Taboo Coins, and other magical treasures were all brought out by Xiao Wuji.

These items are all on par with those of the Great Luo Palace. However, the Immortal Execution Sword is a blood-forged divine weapon, the Eye of the Void is a magic staff, and the Great Five Taboo Coins are top-grade Heaven-rank magic treasures. While powerful, they are not truly celestial treasures. Just like a cultivator's natal magic treasure, no matter how strong, it cannot be listed on the Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking.

The Great Luo Palace, on the other hand, is a genuine Heavenly Treasure, the kind with a Heavenly Treasure Mantra. This is also to facilitate others' refinement when renting out this magical treasure.

He had already decided to make a living by helping people overcome tribulations, so naturally he needed something to maintain appearances. Moreover, to prevent anyone from absconding with the money, Xiao Wuji had also set up many backup plans in this magical artifact.

Once his business takes off, he can both profit from those undergoing tribulation and collect heavenly lightning power for his own use. What's that called? That's called a win-win situation. I win twice!
A month later, Xiao Wuji calmly stuffed the last Nascent Soul cultivator into the spatial birdcage, and then walked out of the protection of the Great Luo Palace.

Feeling that Xiao Wuji was the culprit behind the repeated tribulations, he was furious and immediately unleashed all his lightning.

The golden and silver lightning exuded a terrifying aura, causing his soul to tremble involuntarily, far exceeding his current limits.

Xiao Wuji's suicidal actions made Ao Xiao and Linglong, who were watching from the sidelines, very uneasy. However, due to his previous humiliating behavior, Ao Xiao cautiously kept his mouth shut.

"Wow!!"

A melodious phoenix cry rang out from Xiao Wuji's mouth, and then Xiao Wuji suddenly transformed into a strange-looking phoenix.

This phoenix has no tail or head, only a pair of blue-red phoenix wings, which do not look beautiful, but instead make it look more fierce.

This is not a martial spirit, but a dharma form created by using a secret technique from the Six Extremes True Demon Art as a blueprint.

Under the influence of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's essence blood, his Evil Fire Phoenix Dharma Form also underwent a transformation. Although it was still far from the phoenix in his mind, it already possessed various magical abilities.

However, relying solely on these methods would be utterly insufficient to overcome the incredibly powerful lightning tribulation, which was like a minefield. But if the divine blood of the Undying Emperor were added, it would be enough.

Xiao Wuji flapped his wings to meet the heavenly lightning, and the terrifying lightning almost instantly tore the Dharma form to pieces.

But the next moment, five-colored divine light flowed, and the phoenix dharma form was restored to its original state. This was naturally the mystery of the Undying Emperor's blood. Under the influence of the Undying Emperor's blood, the dharma form underwent nirvana time and time again, gradually absorbing the power of that drop of Undying Emperor's blood in the process, helping itself to complete its evolution.

The Undying Emperor was a great emperor who had lived for countless years. Even if it was just a drop of blood that remained during his transformation, and even if this drop of blood had been refined by the Hengyu Furnace, the enormous energy within it was something that Xiao Wuji could not absorb at present.

Only by relying on this endless heavenly thunder can there be a sliver of a chance of success.

The Dharma form continuously shattered, only to be reassembled by the power of the Emperor's blood. In this process, all impure and fragile forces were gradually erased, leaving only the most powerful and purest power belonging to the Emperor's blood. Until even lightning could no longer destroy its form…

Xiao Wuji rode his Dharma Form, soaring freely in the sky. Although he was unable to completely refine the power of the Emperor's Blood through this tribulation, his Dharma Form had transformed into a five-colored divine phoenix.

Once he reaches the Void Refinement stage, this Divine Phoenix Dharma Form will be enough to fight against a Body Integration Realm cultivator. What makes him even more proud is that this is a divine ability he personally developed, without relying on a simulator in the slightest.

What he regrets is that he ultimately failed to escape the confines of the Six Extremes True Demon Art, which only allows him to possess six Dharma forms.

However, if he could condense all six Dharma forms into beings comparable to or even more powerful than true spirits, then even if a true immortal descended to the mortal realm, he could kill them with his own power without needing any magic treasures.

The Dharma form etherealized and disappeared into Xiao Wuji's Purple Mansion, eventually forming a five-colored divine phoenix mark that floated within it. This mark, like a spiritual magic treasure, absorbed and released primordial energy within the Purple Mansion.

He raised his hand to summon back the Great Luo Palace, which had been struck by heavenly lightning and fallen deep into the earth, then landed in front of Ancestor Ao Xiao, and asked rather smugly:

"What do you think would happen if I started a business in Tianyuan City that helped people overcome their tribulations? I could have them provide the money and materials, rent my Great Luo Palace, and even the Earth Demon Puppet... Hmm, anyone below the Great Ascension stage is fine..."

After staring at Xiao Wuji for a long time, Ao Xiao finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"Hmm, that's a very creative idea."

"However, are you sure your Great Luo Palace can withstand it?"

Xiao Wuji patted his chest confidently and said, "Don't worry, I'm confident about this!"

"Oh, then go ahead and do it. I still have some influence in Tianyuan City."

A thoroughly disheartened Ancestor Ao Xiao casually tossed out a token, then clutched his chest and left. He couldn't stay any longer; it was too much of a blow to the wolf. However, before leaving, he couldn't help but remind him:
"Oh, right, remember to prepare for alchemy. I'm planning to go see Old Ghost Mo. This is a big deal, so remember to share some of the profits with me later..."

After Ao Xiao left, Xiao Wuji picked up Linglong, who looked like a young girl, and pinched her soft little face, saying, "Linglong, your grandfather is asking me for benefits. Why don't you say a word for me?"

"You didn't dare to say anything before Grandfather left, you just bullied me..." Linglong pouted unhappily, but still let Xiao Wuji pinch her face despite her reluctance.

"Linglong, you are so adorable..."

After some time apart, Linglong had not only grown a lot, but her originally jade-like body had become full of elasticity, and it felt no different from that of an ordinary person, which greatly surprised Xiao Wuji.
