From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 580 The Second True Instruction of Murder to Silence (Still celebrating National Day, third update)

"Internal tribulations collide with external tribulations; this Great Dao Golden Core is indeed incompatible with Heaven and Earth!!"

Inside the Gate of the Mysterious Female, the Mysterious Female Daoist watched as Li Chengqian's Golden Core was just formed, and the great calamity was about to arrive. He couldn't help but sigh softly. He had seen the Great Dao Golden Core, but whether it could truly be formed still depended on fate!

However, Li Chengqian's gaze remained calm, as if he had anticipated this. The Great Dao Golden Core was too perfect and would certainly be rejected by heaven and earth. Therefore, he had made preparations for choosing to undergo the tribulation in the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. While condensing the Great Dao Golden Core would certainly attract a more intense backlash from heaven and earth, within the Immortal Mansion, he could use the mansion to withstand the first wave of the most fatal external tribulation.

Even the most extraordinary Golden Core is only at the seventh level of Divine Power, not even reaching the Longevity Realm. No matter how strong the Heavenly Tribulation is, it has its limits. But the core of the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion is an Immortal Artifact!
The only thing he hadn't expected was the great calamity of wind and fire, which dealt him a double blow from both inside and outside.

However, what the world did not expect was that Li Chengqian's body was now comparable to that of a true ancestor, transcending the Three Realms and the Five Elements. Under the Taiyin Refining Technique, the wind and fire tribulations had little effect on him.

Just as Li Chengqian was undergoing the tribulation of wind and fire, the heavenly tribulation outside seemed to sense the complete formation of the Great Dao Golden Core and the aura of the tribulation of wind and fire, and its power surged again! The last, thickest, most chaotic in color, ultimate heavenly punishment lightning, which seemed to have fused the characteristics of all the previous tribulations, crashed down like a collapsing pillar of heaven!
"boom--!!!"

After repeated setbacks, the radiant glow surrounding the main palace of the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion was finally torn open by this final blow, leaving a tiny crack!

Outside the crevice, destructive lightning flashed; inside the crevice, Li Chengqian was undergoing a great tribulation of wind and fire!
"It's now!"

Li Chengqian's eyes flashed with a sharp light; this was the opportunity he had been waiting for!
The moment the Immortal Abode's defenses were breached by the collision of internal and external tribulation forces!

"Senior, I must take my leave now. May we meet again someday!"

As he spoke, he stood up, forcefully suppressing and restraining the great tribulation of wind and fire within his body with immense magical power! His figure transformed into a stream of chaotic light, advancing instead of retreating, and bursting out of the main palace of the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion directly through the gap in the rosy light torn by the heavenly tribulation!
This scene was clearly witnessed by the cultivators who were waiting in the distance, dumbfounded!
All they saw was a figure in a green robe, surrounded by the still lingering aura of the great calamity of wind and fire. Above his head floated a chaotic golden core, unlike anything they had ever seen before, which made their souls tremble. Like a god or demon, he soared into the sky from the shattered glow of the sunset, facing the last and strongest aftershock of the heavenly tribulation!

"Great protective technique!"

Li Chengqian gave a low shout, and a crystal-clear protective shield, seemingly composed of countless fragments of laws, enveloped him. At the same time, five-colored divine light soared into the sky like a peacock spreading its tail, sweeping towards the destructive lightning! His physical body also burst forth with billions of rays of light, his blood and qi surging like a dragon, and his body, tempered by the Taiyin Refining Technique, shone brilliantly!

"Boom!!!"

The final bolt of lightning struck him fiercely. His protective aura trembled violently, and the five-colored divine light swirled wildly, dissipating the lightning's force. The remaining power slammed solidly into his flesh, producing a deafening clang like metal clashing!
As the lightning dissipated, Li Chengqian's figure remained standing in the void. Although his green robe was torn, his body was as straight as a spear. His aura not only did not weaken, but was like divine iron that had been forged, becoming more refined, more profound, and more terrifying! The Great Dao Golden Core above his head spun rapidly, its clear light scattering down, quickly repairing the minor damage to his physical body and completely refining the last trace of the Wind and Fire Tribulation's aura.

The tribulation clouds in the sky seemed to have exhausted their power, and seemed helpless against him, and began to slowly dissipate.

The world returned to a deathly silence.

Only the figure suspended in the air and the Great Dao Golden Pill that suppressed all the myriad paths of the heavens proved that what had just happened was not an illusion.

Li Chengqian concealed his aura, a hint of satisfaction appearing on his face.

He successfully condensed the Great Dao Golden Core, which integrates the Three Thousand Great Daos into one, and successfully passed through the Golden Core Tribulation and the Wind and Fire Tribulation. He ascended to the heavens in one step and stepped into the eighth level of supernatural powers, the Wind and Fire Tribulation realm!
He even managed to escape from the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion by taking advantage of the Heavenly Tribulation. What more could he possibly want?

"You are from the Feathered Immortal Sect... Li... Li Chengqian, you... you entered the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, and... you even survived the Tribulation of Wind and Fire inside?"

Suddenly, among the onlookers, someone recognized Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian's gaze shifted to the person who had spoken. A purple-gold robe with eight trigrams?!

People from the Taiyi Sect?
"Are you a disciple of the Taiyi Sect?"

"This golden elixir?!" Suddenly, the Taiyi Sect disciple sensed a familiar aura within the boundless majesty emanating from the strange golden elixir above Li Chengqian's head.

"Great, great calamity spell, three calamities and nine tribulations, you, you, you..."

"Tsk, I see. Well, there's nothing I can do about it then." Li Chengqian sneered, feeling somewhat displeased. He raised his right hand slightly, and an invisible black ripple burst forth instantly. The Taiyi Sect disciples and the rogue cultivators he commanded around them didn't even have time to react before they were all shattered and turned into dust.

Great Destruction Technique!

After doing all this, Li Chengqian emerged from the Ruins of Return and returned to the Endless Sea. He then used the Great Teleportation Technique and returned to the Feathered Immortal Sect in just half an hour.

Feathered Gate, Moon-Embracing Peak

Li Chengqian descended from the sky and saw Xu Wenyuan standing in the large square in front of Lanyue Palace, instructing the disciples of the peak in their cultivation. Upon seeing his return, Xu Wenyuan was overjoyed and hurriedly went to greet him. However, after taking only a few steps, his expression changed.

He sensed an aura of profound depth emanating from Li Chengqian, completely different from when he left, faintly carrying a trace of lingering calamity.

"Senior brother, you..."

"Yes, we were lucky this time, and we survived the great calamity of wind and fire!" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, all the disciples were overjoyed and bowed in greeting.

Xu Wenyuan, Yuan Zhi, and Su Muyu were even more excited. As true disciples, they understood better than these people what it meant for Li Chengqian to have survived the Wind and Fire Great Challenge. It meant that the landscape of the Feathered Immortal Sect had been completely changed.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother (Master) on your great progress in cultivation, the completion of your Golden Core, and the overcoming of the Wind and Fire Tribulation!" The three congratulated him sincerely. Sensing the vast and unfathomable magical power fluctuations of Li Chengqian, which were like the starry sky, the three were even more excited, their eyes flashing with undisguised brilliance.

Previously, although the Feathered Immortal Sect was known as having seven true disciples, apart from Hua Tiandu, the other four were stuck at the Golden Core stage. Li Chengqian and Fang Qingxue hadn't even formed their Golden Cores yet, naturally putting them at a disadvantage compared to Hua Tiandu. However, now that Li Chengqian has successfully overcome the Tribulation of Wind and Fire, he has immediately become the second-best true disciple of the Feathered Immortal Sect, his status rapidly approaching that of Hua Tiandu. In fact, he has a very high chance of competing with Hua Tiandu for the title of the first true disciple, and even the future position of the sect leader...

They had already chosen sides. Once such a thing was decided, it was a matter of mutual benefit and loss. Surviving the great calamity of wind and fire would bring hope of immortality. How could this not excite these trusted disciples who were attached to Li Chengqian?

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the well-ordered and increasingly vibrant Lanyue Peak, quite satisfied with the three's management. "Thank you for your hard work during my absence. How is everything on the peak?"

"Reporting to Senior Brother, everything is fine. However..." Xu Wenyuan hesitated slightly before saying, "Senior Sister Fang from Zidian Peak emerged from seclusion several months ago and came to inquire about Senior Brother's return date."

A hint of tenderness flashed in Li Chengqian's eyes: "I understand. You all go ahead and do your work. I'll go to Zidian Peak later."
