Chapter 200: Indicators and Traces of Heavenly Tribulation

——The primordial energy is surging and turbulent!
——The void is shaking violently!
The sea of thunder was endless, forming a great destruction, boundless and limitless.

The calamity clouds spread like ink, covering the sky and the earth, emerging in patches, shining brilliantly, the brilliant light intertwined with the sound of destruction, as if tearing the heaven and earth apart. Along with the sound of collapse, countless lightning flashes fell, turning into a divine light of destruction, as if everything was dying.

Fortunately, this place is not near the Earth and there are no familiar planets. Otherwise, such an astronomical wonder would inevitably attract attention and cause a sensation.

The scene in the depths of the lightning was Xia Zhi sitting cross-legged in the void, surrounded by blazing light, as if a scorching sun was across the sky.

His presence distorted the surrounding electromagnetic radiation, like the strange effect of gravitational lens, deflecting endless thunderbolts, making most of them unable to get close to him. And because of his simulated gravitational field, the nearby gravity well also underwent huge changes, as if space was collapsing.

Of course, it was not easy to achieve this. At this moment, the surging magic power in his body was as majestic as the lava in the core of a planet. This power was surging in his veins, faintly emitting a grand and deep roar similar to the movement of the earth's crust. It was as if he had absorbed the potential of life and sublimated it to the extreme. He was as powerful as if he had been reborn. With his own strength alone, he was enough to compete with the heaven and earth.

Of course, thunder punishment is not all.

The ground state "field" was boiling, the cosmic wind was howling, the rays were surging, and the high-energy particles were constantly fluctuating. This catastrophe specially prepared for the monks showed its horror.

In terms of external form, the three disasters of wind, fire, and thunder have gathered together and are becoming more and more severe, with both the scale and frequency continuing to expand. The burst of thunder, fire, and wind releases huge energy, making it impossible for Xia Zhi to avoid it. He can only choose to enter the examination room directly, face this test, and hand in his answer sheet within a limited time.

And he wasn't sure if there was any inner form of expression.

After all, the so-called tribulation of a cultivator is nothing more than being struck by lightning and having strong inner demons.

There are not only calamity thunder, calamity fire, calamity wind, but also inner demons, dark demons, and heart demons. Only such a model of heavenly calamity can be called complete.

Who knows what the "heavenly tribulation" in the captain's heart is like? How does she imagine it? Anyway, it is definitely not all at the moment. Xia Zhi can only consider as much as possible how to deal with it once it appears, and at the same time seize the time to reinterpret and build her own strength in order to better cope with the upcoming challenges.

The consumption of magic power is extremely exaggerated.

Huge amounts of energy are burned every minute and every second to resist external disasters.

Logically speaking, he couldn't possibly sustain such an astonishing mana consumption, so he was trying his best to maintain it through "overdraft" and "loans". Just like the method used by the magician of the second magic Kaleidoscope, the Jewel Master, who was said to use it, he could create a channel to the parallel world by operating the parallel world, and then through that channel, he could draw out the magic power in the atmosphere of the parallel world almost unlimitedly.

It seems like this -

Only then did he use endless ether energy cannons to blast down the True Ancestor King who had mirrored the moon.

The same is true for Xia Zhi, except that the platforms the two can choose are different.

He is operating on the time plane, borrowing magic power from the past or the future as far as his power allows.

However, this is just a stopgap measure. In the end, the countless time planes piled up in an instant are not the same as the infinite parallel worlds... The parallel worlds are there, regardless of whether the gem is running or not, and whether it is observed or not. However, the time plane is different. The future is constantly changing in endless probabilities, and the past history cannot be unlimitedly obtained.

In terms of magic loans, it is impossible to reach the level of the old man of gem, who has turned into a pseudo perpetual motion machine.

It's okay to hold on for a short period of time, but it definitely can't be maintained for a long time.

This is also why Xia Zhi was extremely decisive and directly set the first indicator as "energy". After all, if this hard requirement is not solved first and the basic guarantees are not met, there will be no way to talk about the subsequent indicators.

Fortunately, the first step of "Heavenly Dao Foundation Building" went smoothly.

Maybe it was because of the guaranteed bonus, or maybe it was the "Way of Heaven" itself that was helping him practice -

In the center of the chaotic lightning, Xia Zhi sat cross-legged in the void like a rock. He seemed still and motionless, but his body was surging like a surging river. The pulse of life flowed rapidly in his body, with an astonishing frequency of tens of billions of leaps. Matter was decomposed into countless tiny particles, which were silently reassembled in his body.

He took a deep breath, of course it was just a subconscious action, after all, he didn't need to breathe to survive, he just kept the habit from human times. And now, as if he had made up his mind, he carefully controlled his own defense to open a hole, allowing the energy of the three disasters of lightning, fire and wind to have a chance to break through his defense and hit him... Of course, it was only a small part.

This is already dangerous.

But this is also a baptism that must be experienced.

Because he needs the energy of the heavenly tribulation to transform himself, cleanse his marrow and remove his hair, and completely break down and then stand up again.

………………

………………

The sky shattered into countless pieces.

The entire sea of thunder was undulating, countless black lightning bolts were roaring, and the sound was grand and boundless.

It was like the end of the world, everything was eclipsed by this force, and an unprecedented catastrophe was set off.

"...success is almost there. I can feel it, every moment...huge amounts of energy are being transmitted to me...well...even though the current progress is not even halfway there, it is still far beyond my previous level. But that's right, the basis of vacuum zero-point energy...well, the basic theory is actually the Dirac Ocean. Speaking of this, you should have seen "EVA"..."

Xia Zhi closed his eyes and carefully felt the leap that was happening in his own life form.

Although his words were a little intermittent and mixed with painful groans from time to time, the joy in his tone could still be heard.

Just as he said, he was getting closer to success, although he seemed to be in a very bad state, and from time to time he was chopped halfway, his body was charred, his flesh and blood were carbonized, and his whole body was hot and painful, as if it was burning from the inside out. However, he finally held on, and even recovered immediately with just one breath. You have to know that before this, he didn't have such a good ending.

——The calamity fire started burning from the Yongquan acupoint of his body, penetrating directly into the Niyuan Palace, turning his internal organs into ashes and his limbs into ashes…

——When the calamity wind arrives, it blows from the fontanelle into the six internal organs, passes through the dantian, penetrates the nine orifices, and the bones and flesh disappear, and the body disintegrates...

——Once the thunderbolt falls, there is nothing to say. It will burn your body to pieces and turn it into ashes, leaving no tissue...

pain!
Anyway, it hurts a lot.

However, for a life form that has already initially escaped from three-dimensional existence and is heading towards a higher dimension, it is not so easy to kill him, not to mention that he has taken the bottom line, so he still managed to survive again and again. Under the constant destruction and reshaping of the energy of the heavenly tribulation, and the meticulous transformation of the nanomachines, he constantly tried and failed in the microscopic field and dimensional size, and approached the correct blueprint little by little.

The first thing to be transformed is naturally the twenty-one meridians, which are the most important energy circuits. Then it gradually spreads to the whole body, from fingertips to hair, extremely comprehensive.

This is a wonderful transformation and also a sublimation of life.

Every cell in his body was rapidly transforming, as if he was reborn.

The ultimate concept of the blueprint that is to become the "indicator" is that every cell will undergo structural differences and be transformed into an aura reactor with a very high conversion rate, or in other words, every cell is turning into a miniature zero-point reactor, which will eventually allow the foundation-building cultivator to extract energy from any point in the universe and convert it into the most suitable mana for his own attributes... This is the case now. Thanks to the extremely high conversion rate that has been demonstrated before it is completed, his entire body is now a huge aura reactor, which can directly convert part of the external disasters that attack him into energy that he can absorb, effectively exempting him from some of the damage. And thanks to the energy consumption problem that he no longer has to worry about, he can now constantly refresh his own state and recover immediately after being injured.

Xia Zhi was not idle either, as if he was talking to himself:

"... Well, you can understand it this way. The S2 mechanism of the apostle, which is called the Fruit of Life... can be seen from a scientific point of view as a biological engine similar to mitochondria, existing in cells... It can open a "door" to connect to the Dirac Ocean of pure energy universe, and obtain... infinite energy like a perpetual motion machine through the collision and annihilation of positive and negative electrons..."

This is certainly not just talking to myself.

If Xia Zhi was alone, he would definitely not be in the mood to explain the void, so these words were naturally addressed to Suzumiya Haruhi.

Because the frequency and scale of disasters were increasing rapidly, he no longer had the time to take care of the captain. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind holding the girl and moving through the sea of thunder with ease to gain some favor.

Under such circumstances, he could only put her in the space and leave a hole so that she could pay attention to what was happening outside.

To be honest, this kind of operation is not recommended. After all, the void at the scene of the tribulation is unstable and normally it is very risky... However, the strange thing is that nothing happened. Miss Suzumiya stayed in another space, nervously and excitingly paying attention to the tribulation here, as if watching a live broadcast. And that space was not affected at all. The connection through the key sword was also stable and the signal was very good.

Regarding this abnormal situation, Xia Zhi said:

This is normal.

Maybe it's not scientific, and it's not magical, but it's very Suzumiya, and that's enough.

"…It should be soon. The next step is the second indicator, which is also very critical."

He continued to endure the pain while reporting the progress to the leader, consolidating the results while decisively striking while the iron was hot. "After all, building the foundation is to lay the foundation for becoming a Taoist. In a sense, it is the prototype of an immortal. Even if it is not complete now, it is the foundation for the future."

"The so-called cultivation of immortality is nothing more than refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, and refining spirit into emptiness... Since you have looked it up, you should have seen it in those allusions."

"The focus of cultivation is the prosperity of the human body's essence, energy and spirit. The first indicator, "energy", is actually one of the three elements, qi..."

"Only when the Qi barrier is infinite can one be qualified to promote the transformation of the other two..."

The three gates of essence, energy and spirit are the key to the foundation building in his conception, and they are indeed completely in line with the key points of Taoist thought. If one wants to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal, one must work hard on these three elements of essence, energy and spirit. It is undoubtedly reasonable to require a solid foundation in this regard during the foundation building period.

Although at the beginning, Xia Zhi also thought about whether to have a "Four Gates of the Gods", which could be divided into Qi Gate, Heart Gate, Soul Gate, Body Gate, etc.

Later I thought about it and felt that there was no need for it. Moreover, directly quoting from classics and using the most classic traditional framework to endorse myself would obviously be more credible and more convincing to Miss Suzumiya.

Therefore, the current framework is still used.

——The physical body is solid.

——The Qi gate is infinite.

——The soul is immortal.

After all, he is just a small foundation-building cultivator. As long as he can roughly complete these three basic indicators, he will have laid a solid foundation and achieved a little bit. In the world of immortal cultivation, he can also be regarded as having a little ability to protect himself.

Although this damn "immortal cultivation world" was customized, he was the only one walking alone on this road.

There are no other seniors, fellow Taoists, or ants...

After quickly explaining his ideas and settings to the wishing machine, Xia Zhi looked up at the end of the thunder tribulation with lingering fear. The gap seemed to be bigger. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he could vaguely see the scene of another dimension.

In his view, this is not just a sword of Damocles hanging over his head.

It is also an hourglass, a timer.

This urged him to complete this alternative ascension before time ran out.

however--

Sensing Suzumiya Haruhi who was staying in his own space, Xia Zhi took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and made a decisive decision.

That's right, he strongly suspected that the girl wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to run away with him.

Can't take her away!

at the same time.

In the apartment building on the other side——

"Can't find it."

"I can't find it anyway."

Nagato Yuki said softly, calmly stating the conclusion.

"There is no trace of them within the range that the information integration thought body can perceive..."

Asakura Ryoko sat on the sofa with a sad face, holding her chin with both hands. She didn't know what she was thinking about, and she gritted her teeth a little: "There are only two possibilities. One is that they are in the Sky Canopy Realm, which is a wide-area universe with a different origin from the Information Integrated Thought Body. It is a place we cannot control. The other is that Suzumiya Haruhi created a very secret closed space, so we can't find it."

"..."

"..."

"Also a possibility……"

Nagato Yuki seemed to be thinking, then raised her head and said expressionlessly.

"They are no longer in this world."
