Primordial Emperor Xihuang

Chapter 137 The Three Tribulations of the Great Luo

Existence is life, nothingness is death. The boundary between life and death was elevated by Fuxi. All things in the world, whether they exist or not, give rise to the power of life and death, filling the gaps in the Dao of Life and Death within the Dao Fruit of Heaven and Man.

Fuxi's consciousness was also merged into the Heavenly Human Dao Fruit. Life and death cycled, existence and non-existence alternated, and the ever-changing form of the Heavenly Human Dao Fruit gradually became fixed.

The intertwining of life and death forces transformed the Heavenly Dao Fruit into a six-sided wheel radiating light, inscribed with dense innate golden characters, radiating a magnificent brilliance like a sea of ​​stars.

Fuxi held the wheel in his hand, looking at the Heavenly Dao Fruit in his palm. With a flick of his finger, the grand true meaning of reincarnation circulated through life and death, transforming into a point of grayish-white chaos, a clear and subtle pearl in the center of the hexagonal wheel.

"The most perfect embodiment of the Way of Life and Death is Reincarnation, which encompasses the life and death of living beings, the life and death of consciousness, the life and death of reincarnation, and even the life and death of the laws and the Great Dao."

"I used the true meaning of reincarnation to penetrate the Heavenly Dao Fruit, and used the great power of life and death to reshape the true form of the Dao Fruit. My Heavenly Dao Fruit is now not just an incomplete Great Luo Dao Fruit, but also a supreme treasure that carries my own Great Dao of life and death."

As Fuxi looked at the Heavenly Wheel before him, he sensed a connection between his wheel and the Netherworld.

The Netherworld is a vast world that gradually evolved from the foundation of reincarnation. Fuxi's Wheel of Heaven and Man was also sublimated by combining a trace of the true meaning of reincarnation with the infinite power of the Great Dao of Life and Death in the Dao Fruit of Heaven and Man.

From an evolutionary perspective, the essence of the Netherworld and the Heavenly Wheel is almost identical. Fuxi could sense that the essence of his Heavenly Wheel was gradually increasing over time.

Unconsciously, the Heavenly Wheel of Man and the Netherworld have become connected. Without any refining by Fuxi, the power of the Heavenly Wheel of Man is continuously enhanced and sublimated under the impetus of the Netherworld.

"Reincarnation, the wheel of reincarnation. The netherworld, the celestial beings..."

Looking at the Celestial Wheel in his palm, Fuxi vaguely sensed that the Celestial Wheel he had unintentionally created was definitely not simple, and seemed to be related to the future evolution of the Netherworld.

The Heavenly Wheel was absorbed into his body, and the unprecedentedly magnificent power of life and death between Fuxi's eyebrows transformed into flames.

Because of Fuxi's profound understanding of the principles of life and death, the essence of the power of life and death within Fuxi at this time was extremely high, even approaching the source power of life and death between heaven and earth.

In Fuxi's view, the three great forces of reincarnation, the netherworld, and life and death seem to have some overlap and similarities in essence.

The Heavenly Wheel, which Fuxi created through the Dao of Life and Death, was able to ignore the barrier between the two realms and connect directly with the Netherworld, which in turn was a magnificent world derived from the overflow of the power of reincarnation.

This proves that the Way of Life and Death is also connected to Reincarnation. Perhaps, in addition to the Creation Method and the Return to Nothingness Method, Fuxi could also create a Way of Life and Death to touch upon and refine Reincarnation.

With his vital energy receding, Fuxi arrived above the sea of ​​clouds in the sky, having gained a profound understanding of the principles of life and death.

The Heavenly Dao Fruit was transformed into the Heavenly Wheel, and Fuxi's cultivation level had unknowingly reached the peak of the Taiyi realm. Advancing to the Great Luo Dao Lord seemed to be within reach for Fuxi.

The Great Luo Dao Lord is the ultimate attainment that any normal being in the eternal universe can achieve through cultivation. The so-called Great Luo Dao Lord is a supreme god or demon who is free and unrestrained in all time and space, and who has mastered his own true will.

There are three tribulations to become a Great Luo Dao Lord, each of which is extremely dangerous for ordinary people and even innate gods and demons, and can be described as a nine-out-of-ten chance of death.

The first tribulation requires the Great Luo Dao Lord to collapse the foundation of all his cultivation systems, elevate the Great Dao he cultivates to its ultimate level, and thereby condense his own Great Luo Dao Fruit.

The second tribulation is that the Great Luo Dao Lord is a being who is free and unfettered in all time and space. This means that to become the Great Luo Dao Lord, one must enter the Sea of ​​Time and Space in the Great Primordial World and annihilate all the other selves that radiate from oneself in countless time and space.

This requires cultivators to have a certain understanding of the Great Dao of Time and Space, and also to kill countless other beings in the ripples of time and space whose combat power and realm are not weaker than their own.

The third tribulation requires the Great Luo Dao Lord to master all his desires, consciousness, and true spiritual origins. This means that when a being advances to the Great Luo Dao Lord, he needs to confront all his emotional memories from birth to the present.

A cultivator needs to relive billions of instances of pain, joy, anger, and sorrow with their own supreme Dao heart...

Only when a cultivator can subdue all the desires and memories they have experienced in their lifetime, achieving a state of calm and undisturbed mind, can they possibly forge a Great Luo Heavenly Heart belonging to a Great Luo Dao Lord.

This is the most difficult and dangerous hurdle. Even Fuxi was not very confident that he could subdue the memories and emotions that had accumulated in his heart over the years.

It should be noted that Fuxi has undergone countless reincarnations, and his four Dao Fruits are still experiencing countless life and death cycles in the cycle of reincarnation.

Once these extremely intense desires erupted together, Fuxi estimated that even if his Heavenly Wheel contained a portion of the origin of the True Spirit Diagram, this innate treasure, it would absolutely not be able to withstand the immense terror of countless cycles of life and death.

Of the three tribulations—the Tribulation of Dao Fruit, the Tribulation of Others and Me, and the Tribulation of Heavenly Heart—Fuxi is not very confident in overcoming the other two, except for the Tribulation of Dao Fruit. This is why Fuxi has been accumulating his own strength.

The Great Luo Dao Lord is the limit of normal cultivation for living beings. Even among innate gods and demons, very few can ultimately advance to the Great Luo Dao Lord.

According to Fuxi's own estimation, there are thousands of innate gods and demons in the primordial world, but at most no more than thirty of these innate gods and demons will be able to advance to the Great Luo Dao Lord level. This is Fuxi's calculation based on the best possible outcome.

Fuxi was the most powerful innate god and demon in the primordial world, yet he wasn't very confident about advancing to the Great Luo Daojun level. One can imagine that for ordinary innate gods and demons, advancing to the Great Luo Daojun level would be an understatement, with nine deaths and one life.

"The collapse of one's own cultivation system and understanding of the Great Dao during the Dao Fruit Tribulation makes condensing the Great Luo Dao Fruit the simplest thing for me. The Heavenly Human Wheel that I have condensed now is essentially close to the Great Luo Dao Fruit. The difficult ones are the Other Self Tribulation and the Heavenly Heart Tribulation."

"Whether it's using willpower to slay the other self within the endless ripples of time and space, or subduing the desires and obsessions accumulated throughout my life, these are not things I can easily attempt right now. I must continue to refine my willpower and the desires of my mind."

Fuxi mentally devised ways to deal with the tribulations of others and the Heavenly Heart Tribulation, and a wisp of divine thought flew into the Green Gourd Realm.

In an instant, countless innate pure energies manifested, and one after another, figures and faces identical to Fuxi appeared in the sea of ​​clouds and blue sky, charging towards Fuxi.
