Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 156 Chunyangzi Breaks Through the Tribulation

Among the many lineages of the Dao Ancestor, Chunyangzi and Yanfuzi are the two most dangerous titles.

The success rate is extremely low, and the mortality rate is extremely high!
Among them, [Yanfuzi] is influenced by the mad incarnation of his own [Yanfu Daozu]. If he is not careful, he will be dragged to the [Immortal Qi Mountain] by his own [Daozu] and ravaged. That is a great calamity with uncertain life and death.

It can be said that the practice of [Yanfuzi] is a process of fighting against [Yanfu].

Only those who can withstand the torment of [Yanfu] will have a future.

During this period, [Yanfu]'s incarnation has been well-paced by [Wuyan] and others, and is in a relatively quiet phase, rarely causing trouble for the younger disciples.

In fact, Jingqian had not yet experienced the first time he was called by the name of [Yanfu].

That will be the first real test on his path of cultivation in the [Yambhava Path].

Many true disciples of the [Yanfu Dao] adopted humble names from the household register, hoping to make them easier to raise and reduce the frequency of being called by the [Dao Ancestor].

This was a method for avoiding calamity that the Daoist Guimao had figured out back then, and it actually had some practical uses.

Before [Ghost Hair], the Daoist priests of [Yanfu Dao] used titles such as Beiming, Hunyuan, Zhenmo, and Xiefeng, which sounded very grand and imposing.

But after him, all the names he used were things like seeing ghosts, having a cheap life, being blind, being sick, or being penniless—names that sounded like he was possessed by a lunatic. It was quite unlucky.

Compared to Yanfuzi, Chunyangzi's situation was no better.

Ever since the Pure Yang Heaven arrived in the Yingfu Pagoda Realm, the entire lineage has been plagued by misfortune.

The true disciples within, including Chunyangzi, are all overflowing with calamity energy, making them extremely prone to attracting external calamities wherever they go.

Unfortunately, the Pure Yang Heaven's methods are extremely focused on killing and have very few methods for avoiding calamities.

The disciples within were overjoyed at the prospect of calamity, regarding this surging tribulation as the best medicine for their cultivation.

Therefore, all the successive Chunyang Masters chose to face the calamity head-on and use their own swords to overcome it.

However, for the Pure Yang Heaven, breaking through a calamity often means making several enemies and getting entangled in more karma.

As grudges piled up, the calamity shrouding the Dharma lineage grew ever stronger, churning more and more violently, showing no sign of diminishing.

As a result, the calamities encountered by each [Chunyangzi] became increasingly terrifying.

This result sent all the Chunyangzi members into a frenzy!
What is poison to one is honey to another!
While being plunged into the sea of ​​tribulations is indeed terrifying, if one can escape from it, then one will naturally experience great freedom and joy!

Throughout history, regardless of life or death, all the Pure Yang Masters have enjoyed the process and none have regretted it.

However, everyone is pursuing their own pleasure, which is very detrimental to the inheritance of the Dharma lineage.

As the calamity energy spread, the remaining [Chunyangzi] grew stronger, but also became fewer and fewer.

By the time of Zhenmiao and Shangxi, the newly promoted Chunyangzi had to undergo tribulation prematurely, before the basic system could be fully developed.

The entire lineage of the Pure Yang Heaven is almost about to end with this generation!

The absence of a new "Pure Yang Master" means that there is no new person to share and inherit the calamity energy.

When all the Pure Yang disciples are caught in the calamity, the destruction of the lineage will be imminent.

However, the process of destroying this lineage was brought to a slight halt after Jing Qian appeared.

Shang Xi, who should have perished, did not die. Instead, he successfully broke through the impossible Heavenly Barrier, advanced to the fourth rank [Star Picker], and completely changed his situation.

For Shangxi, this was a pivotal turning point in his destiny, which, within the Pure Yang Heaven lineage, is known as a "tribulation."

Each time Chunyangzi breaks through a tribulation, it brings a huge boost to his cultivation, allowing him to face even greater tribulations in the future.

After Shangxi successfully broke through the tribulation, with the help of Jingqian, he successfully changed Zhenmiao's situation.

At that moment, he protected the true and wondrous rebirth, causing quite a stir.

If Zhenmiao is fortunate enough to return successfully, she will have completed a "tribulation-breaking" process. At that time, this second genius of the "Pure Yang Heaven" will surely usher in a new life.

As for Zhu Yun's ordeal, she also benefited from Jing Qian's assistance and had a significant turning point.

If it weren't for Jing Qian's Void Flame Transmission, which shared the massive amount of true flame with Zhu Yun and Luo Tian, ​​giving them room to maneuver and move around.

Zhu Yun could very well be truly refined to death within the [Great Black Heaven].

It can be said that the surging pure yang calamity energy was stirred by Jing Qian's appearance, creating a unique ripple.

However, after becoming the Pure Yang Master, and especially after taking over the position of sect leader, Jing Qian was inevitably tainted by the calamity energy, which triggered his own tribulation.

Now that Gu Lin has personally come here, his imposing presence overwhelming the entire Yingfu Pagoda Realm, it is undoubtedly the eruption of his great calamity.

But when he looked back at the entire Pure Yang Heaven, he found that the fates of his close seniors were not much better than his.

Under the onslaught of this calamity, each one ended up in a more miserable state than the last.

Perhaps the calamity energy had discovered the weakness of the Pure Yang Heaven and was preparing for a final, decisive battle to achieve its goal in one fell swoop.

For Jing Qian, the calamities of his predecessors are currently erupting, while his own calamity is merely about to begin.

He's in even better shape.

Perhaps this is God's way of sending him to be the lifeline for all his predecessors.

He then adjusted his magical power again, capturing a strange illusion and passing it on to the three seniors, Ren Chong, Zhu Yun, and Shang Xi.

And then he began to speak:
“Three elders, the other day I was fortunate enough to obtain a sword aura from the ancestor Ren Chong within the realm.”

"This is arguably the most useful treasure I possess."

"I was thinking that if any of you seniors had a way to help me avoid this calamity, then this sword energy wouldn't have to be wasted on [Gu Lin]."

"Right now, look at the three elders. Their situation is even more difficult than that of this disciple. Why don't you all see if there is a better way to make use of this sword energy?"

"If I can help any elder successfully break through the tribulation, it will be considered that I have made a contribution."

The illusion that Jing Qian transmitted was the sword of Ren Chong, trapped in a spatial loop within the [Sumeru] dimension, which never ceased its attack.

It has no idea how many trillions of times it has rotated within the Möbius strip created by Jingqian.

This sword energy is undoubtedly Jing Qian's strongest trump card and his greatest source of confidence in breaking the calamity of Gulin.

Right now, he took out this sword energy and placed it in front of the three big shots to see if there was any chance to break the deadlock.

This is already his greatest sincerity!
However, after he sent the message, he saw that the three [Sword Lotus] were busily pulsating with magical power.

Jing Qian immediately transformed into a switchboard operator, relaying messages back and forth between the several powerful figures.

Before long, a well-structured plan to overcome the calamity was quietly formed.

This plan was devised by Ren Chong, who possessed the highest cultivation and broadest knowledge. Starting with the sword energy of Ren Chong in Jing Qian's hands, it connected and utilized the tribulations of the various Chunyangzi.

Once the plan is successfully implemented, everyone will face a crucial "breakthrough".

At that time, the entire situation of [Pure Yang Heaven] will undergo a major change.

In this plan, Jing Qian can be considered the key figure, playing an extremely important role!
As a result, he gained considerable recognition from the three patriarchs.

Among them, Shang Xi praised Jing Qian highly, extolling his contributions to the Pure Yang Heaven, and called taking Jing Qian as his disciple his greatest achievement in his ordinary life.

Zhu Yun, on the other hand, was making grand promises, offering all sorts of guarantees, and stating that if he could "break through the tribulation," he would give Jing Qian a big gift to ensure his easy promotion.

Ren Chong spoke the fewest words, but his words were resounding:
“Young Chixiao, the entire legacy of the Pure Yang Heaven rests on your shoulders.”

"If you can untie this knot and help us break through this calamity, the benefits will be obvious, and it will also give me an opportunity to go and rescue Yuan Yang."

"If he can also escape the calamity, a large part of the calamity energy accumulated by my Pure Yang Heaven will be dissipated."

"This matter is extremely important; we must be very careful!"

In fact, without the three seniors needing to say more, Jing Qian had longed for such an exciting opportunity.

The plan devised by the four scoundrels would be something to be avoided like the plague by anyone else.

But for Jing Qian, all he can say is, "It's really good!"
He leaped out of the Pure Yang Cave and landed in the mortal world, speaking to the old white ox:
“Master Niu, there has been a change in the situation on our trip to [Juzhou]. Please find a place to wait for me for a while longer.”

"I'm thinking about all those delicious food friends you mentioned, and I'll definitely be paying them a visit."

"And please be careful!"

After saying that, he flashed into the [Void Realm].

[Good Corn] and the raccoon are all together, busy and chattering away.

Jing Qian went directly to [Good Corn]'s side, where he saw it fiddling with the dragon teeth and scales scattered on the ground, working with Qi Li to forge one [Void Divine Court Dimensional Ring] after another.

In just this short period of time, over a hundred have already been refined.

Who understands! Every single [Dimensional Ring] is stained with the dragon's resentment!
Jing Qian just opened his mouth and said:
"Xiaomi, stop what you're doing for a moment. I have some good news for you and I need you to make a trip to the void."

[Good Corn] darted to his side with a sharp movement and asked:
"Master, you've finally found the big fish?"

"Don't worry, I smell amazing, I guarantee that big fish won't be able to open its eyes!"

Jing Qian shook his head and said:
"We've caught some fish, but I'm afraid even if we do, we won't be able to eat them!"

"Someone is going to send me a pot of good porridge; please fetch it for me."

"Please also deliver some things to me while you're at it."

"By the way, let Ghost Phoenix and Ao Hua lend a hand too. This time, we need to borrow their Immortal Spiritual Energy reserves."

[Good Corn] scratched its corn-like head and said:
"【Gui Feng】is both beautiful and obedient, and we are the best of friends."

"Ao Hua was trying to kill himself a couple of days ago, but I managed to calm him down. If we need to use him again this time, we'll probably get some benefits."

Jing Qian nodded and said:
"There's an extra portion of that good porridge; we'll share a bite with it later!"

"Go quickly and return quickly, and retrieve their [immortal spiritual energy]."

"Yes, sir!"

[Good Corn] has vanished into a grotto, seeking dragons and phoenixes.

Jing Qian then sat down cross-legged and used his newly acquired [Three Lives Three Worlds Immortal Spirit Eye] to twist an unprecedentedly thick fishing line.

His Three Lives Eyes successfully advanced from Grade One and was perfectly refined by him, greatly enhancing its effectiveness when fishing in the void.

Using the "Entanglement of Cause and Effect" technique to weave fishing line again will produce completely different results.

After he finished braiding the fishing line, the "good corn" swayed and popped out, as if it had eaten too much.

It borrowed all the reserves of the [Ghost Phoenix] and Ao Hua's [Immortal Spiritual Energy], and now possesses nearly thirty strands of [Immortal Spiritual Energy], making it a powerful force.

Then, it obediently approached Jingqian and let its owner tie the fishing line tightly around its body.

In this round, the [good corn] serves as both bait and hook!

Then, Jing Qian summoned Mo Pin'er again. [Good Corn] solemnly stretched out its roots, wrapped Mo Pin'er into a small ball, and hung it around its waist.

Mo Pin'er sobbed, having experienced a heart-wrenching farewell with the flesh worm, but she paid no attention to Yumi.

After doing all this, Jing Qian finally spoke:
"Xiaomi, I've explained everything to you. This time, it's all up to you, so don't let me down!"

"Good Corn" said confidently:

"Don't worry, sir!"

"This is the specialty of our corn clan, and it will never fail."

At this point, Jing Qian had made preparations according to the [Breaking the Tribulation] plan. Without hesitation, he opened the void passage and pushed [Good Corn] into the intersection of space and time. [Good Corn] seemed to have returned home, freely traversing this extremely dangerous void, heading towards its infinitely distant destination.

Jing Qian obediently controlled the fishing line in his hand, his [Three Lives Eyes] wide open, tracking the figure of [Good Corn] with all his might.

This unique fishing trip in the void was also a novel experience for him.

……

Inside the Great Black Heaven, Zhu Yun's magical power was nearing its limit, yet he still hadn't managed to penetrate the sun's surface and hide behind it.

He used the [Eternal Life Immortal Sword Embryo] to protect himself and Luo Tian, ​​preventing them from moving.

But this also means falling into a completely passive position and slowly waiting to die.

The oppression of the Shadow Demon Emperor has become increasingly aggressive, almost completely enveloping Zhu Yun in his shadow.

These two invaders wreaked havoc for thousands of years, causing immense damage to [Daikokuten].

This is finally coming to an end, and even the Shadow Demon Emperor was somewhat excited.

Beneath the sword light, Luo Tian spoke apologetically:
"Master Zhu, I was careless this time. I didn't expect the other side to set such a trap, wasting our time to escape."

"Although the precious porridge has been made, neither of us is fortunate enough to enjoy it."

"I'll self-destruct my [Spiritual Ability] in a bit and see if I can break free from the enemy's grasp. You should think of a way to escape as soon as possible."

But then Zhu Yun said:
"Stop talking such unlucky things, and just watch!"

Luo Tian was taken aback upon hearing this, but then immediately mobilized his divine sense to examine the situation with all his might.

The inexplicable changes in the void immediately caught his attention.

A familiar spatial fluctuation entered Luo Tian's sea of ​​consciousness.

Are people from my hometown visiting?
At the edge of the battlefield, a void wormhole quietly opened, and a swaying little corn seedling, tied with a tether rope, emerged from it.

This was the first time in [Good Corn]'s life that he had ever walked in the void, and for a moment he felt like his brain was being shaken to its core.

Fortunately, it lived up to expectations and descended into the [Mahakala].

Its presence immediately attracted the attention of the Shadow Demon Emperor who was standing nearby.

The Shadow Demon Emperor is a powerful being of the first rank, with an unwavering Dao heart, and is not easily influenced by external factors.

But as soon as the corn seedlings appeared, an extremely enticing aroma wafted out from them.

[Shadow Demon Emperor] felt that his chance to attain enlightenment lay within this fragrance, and immediately, as if bewitched, he fled towards the corn seedlings.

Then look at the little corn seedlings, suspended high in the air, twisting their bodies and dancing a bewitching dance.

Whether it's "good corn" or "real corn," its fit is extremely peculiar, possessing a unique and miraculous quality, making it a natural fish bait.

As the [Good Corn] travels through the endless void, it can connect with any trace of the void energy it encounters along the way.

When these energies combine and descend upon Mahakala, they transform into an irresistible radiance.

The farther it travels, the stronger its precious light becomes, and the more terrifying its attraction to cultivators becomes.

Even the first-rank [Shadow Demon Emperor] was momentarily captivated by it.

Just as the Shadow Demon Emperor was about to devour the Good Corn in one gulp, a beautiful ghostly figure appeared beside the Good Corn.

Mo Pin'er, enduring the aura of a first-rank demon, was so frightened that her whole body went weak and she was on the verge of collapse.

But she still held firm and did not show any fear. Using the [Sumeru] destiny she had borrowed from Jing Qian, she opened a void rift in this [Great Black Heaven].

Within the infinitely distant [Yingfutu Realm], Jing Qian had long been waiting for the perfect opportunity before him.

He twisted the [Sword Ring] he had been nurturing for a long time, and the [Ren Chong] sword energy contained within it slashed straight at the void rift created by Mo Pin'er.

This incredibly fierce and deadly sword energy pierced through the void and silently appeared in front of the Shadow Demon Emperor. With a terrifying speed that left no room for dodge, it slashed at the center of its brow.

This first-rank demon never expected that the brat in front of him could unleash such terrifying sword energy.

This is a genuine, first-rank killing power!
It felt as if its soul, though intact, had been completely ripped apart!
Both the physical body and the soul suffered unprecedented severe injuries.

Good steel should be used on the blade!

This [Ren Chong] sword energy would be a waste to use on a second-rank enemy; it would be most suitable to use it on a first-rank enemy.

When Mo Pin'er appeared as a precision-guided radar, the entire battle situation was completely changed.

Jing Qian successfully released the [Sword Ring] remotely, achieving remarkable results.

[Shadow Demon Emperor] was struck between the eyebrows by [Ren Chong]'s sword, and was seriously injured, unable to recover for a time!
On the other side, Zhu Yun unleashed her full power, releasing all her remaining magical energy.

Taking advantage of his weakness to finish him off, Zhu Yun's [Eternal Life Immortal Sword Embryo] transformed into a bluish-white arc, tracing the scar left by [Ren Chong]'s sword energy and drilling straight into it.

He attacked with all his might, and managed to cut half of the emperor's skull off.

The powerful Shadow Demon Emperor, severely injured, dared not persist any longer, fearing another sword strike from the enemy. In an instant, he transformed into a streak of black light and vanished into the depths of the Dark Heaven's shadow.

Even if Zhu Yun couldn't kill the Shadow Demon Emperor, after this overwhelming attack, this great demon would probably take many years to recover.

For Zhu Yun, the skull of a first-grade demon was undoubtedly a priceless treasure.

More importantly, he finally escaped death and suppressed the enemy's offensive. The Great Black Heaven allowed him to plunder it for a time, enabling him to begin a new stage of accumulation and cultivation.

With this shift in power, the next time we see the Shadow Demon Emperor, he will surely be in a completely different state.

The first step of the "Breaking Through the Calamity" plan has been successfully executed!
As the initiator of everything, Jing Qian contributed his precious first-grade sword energy and naturally received a significant reward.

Luo Tian poured the [Shadow Demon Immortal Life Porridge] from his pot into a red treasure bottle and threw it all into [Good Corn]'s arms.

Zhu Yun also took out thirty crisp bamboo leaves stacked together from her bosom and stuffed them into [Good Corn]'s hand.

Each of these bamboo leaves was a [sacrifice talisman] that Zhu Yun idly crafted when he was engulfed in flames.

It contains his full-force sword strike, and its essence is the same as that of the [Sword Lotus] petals, making its power not to be underestimated.

Although Zhu Yun's sword energy and magic power cannot compare with Ren Chong's sword energy, it has the advantage of being plentiful and satisfying.

If used properly, it can help Jingqian deal with some difficult enemies.

After doing all this, [Good Corn] suddenly tugged at the fishing line around its waist, dragging it away into the depths of the void.

This "good corn" has made outstanding contributions and returned victorious.

However, it is unclear whether it forgot on its own or followed Jing Qian's instructions.

They actually left Mo Pin'er in the [Great Black Heaven] again.

The whining monster could no longer go home. In its weakened state, it decided to expand [Sumeru] and enter the dimension.

But she suddenly discovered that the [Sumeru] destiny within her was also disabled.

She was utterly helpless, and could only transform into a streak of light and hide somewhere.

……

Within the [Virtual Realm], [Good Corn] achieved a resounding victory, and the overall state of the corn became increasingly awesome.

He handed the red porridge bottle and bamboo leaves to Jing Qian, and then began to wait smugly for his share of the spoils.

The bottle of [Shadow Demon Immortal Life Porridge] in Jing Qian's hand is extremely powerful, and can be called the ultimate cultivation treasure.

He opened the bottle, carefully measured it, and found it contained exactly thirty mouthfuls, no more, no less.

Regardless of one's cultivation level, a single sip of this treasure will immediately increase one's "fate" by one and a half taels and condense a "heavenly destiny." It is the most precious medicinal food among the "Kitchen God Shop's" inheritance.

Jing Qian took a bite and tossed it in front of the "good corn".

The good corn naturally recognized its value. It wrapped a mouthful of precious porridge in its stem and immediately huddled in a corner of the virtual world to absorb and refine it.

Then, Jingqian flicked another puff from it and threw it at Qili, who was watching eagerly from the side.

The little black cat took a sip of the immortal porridge and felt an endless surge of energy within its body. It immediately lay down on the ground and began to cultivate with all its might.

Jing Qian then split his power into two parts, sending them to Ao Hua, who was in the Kunpeng Sea, and Gui Feng, who was in the Blood River Cave.

The two great masters who made immense contributions to the "Mending the Heavens" project also received the precious medicine that was extremely important for cultivation.

In the end, he softened a little and used the power of [Sumeru] to send a mouthful of precious porridge to Mo Pin'er, who was far away in [Daheitian], as a way of giving her some comfort.

After some deliberation, Jing Qian realized that everyone around him who could handle this large bowl of porridge would benefit from it.

Without further hesitation, he picked up the porridge bottle and took a big gulp.

Instantly, a surge of immense energy erupted within him.

Each bowl of porridge requires hundreds of thousands of Shadow Demon remains to refine, making it incredibly expensive.

After swallowing this bowl of precious porridge, Jing Qian's [Purple Eye Life Essence] cultivation level surged by 10,000 on the spot.

Then, a new [Destiny] began to slowly condense within his body.

Jing Qian's strength immediately experienced a new round of growth!

……

Outside the [Yingfutu Realm], three powerful cultivators who were sitting cross-legged on the meteorite suddenly awoke from their meditation.

But then [Gu Lin] spoke up:
“The angels have arrived. Please come with me to greet them and meet our friends in the Yingfu Pagoda Realm.”

Blood River and Three Poisons readily agreed and followed Gu Lin into the air, stopping on the only path leading to Yingfu Pagoda Realm, where they waited silently.

Not long after, a void divine ship sailed in.

This divine ship is imbued with boundless primordial energy and is extremely luxurious; one can tell at a glance that its owner is no ordinary person.

Upon seeing Gu Lin, the divine ship abruptly stopped. A handsome young warrior with a noble bearing stepped out and addressed Gu Lin:
"Lord of the Sea of ​​Gulin, I have come with the Empress's decree to mediate the feud between Yingfutu Realm and your Yao Gulin Sea."

"Come with me to meet Yingtian's bloodline family."

The young man's expression turned inexplicably serious when he mentioned Ying Tian. Then, he sat back in the boat and headed straight for the [Ying Futu Realm].

The three from Gulin finally met the person they were waiting for, and quickly fled after him.

The distance of thousands of miles was covered almost in the blink of an eye for these few top repairmen.

The divine ship was seen anchored outside the boundary membrane of the Yingfu Pagoda Realm, pressing down on the Tiangang Tower.

Immediately afterwards, the young military general reappeared and sent a message into the [Yingfutu Realm].

All cultivators within the [Yingfu Pagoda Realm] sensed something:

"I am Feng Yu, here to deliver the Empress's decree. Where is the Empress Ying?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yingkun appeared quietly in front of them with Yinghao, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

Yingkun wasn't very polite to Feng Yu; instead, he directly questioned her:
"Why bring up old matters again, and discuss the affairs of our two realms once more?"

"Furthermore, why did it come from your Feng clan to deliver the Empress's message?"

"The affairs of the Ying family are none of your business, Feng family's business!"
