Primordial Emperor Xihuang

Chapter 236 Heavenly Tribulation

The five Dragon Emperors are advancing to the Great Luo Dao Lord level, which means that there are no top-level gods and demons in the True Dragon Royal Family now.

This news stirred up countless top clans that aspired to become royalty, and countless armies quietly entered the four seas.

At the same time, the Qilin royal family launched a large-scale military campaign, heading straight for the East Sea. Fortunately, the Xuanwu royal family intervened and stopped the Qilin royal family.

The two royal families engaged in a great battle. Although the Xuanwu royal family was no match for the Qilin royal family, with the support of the East Sea Dragon Court, it was impossible for the Qilin royal family to defeat the Xuanwu royal family. The two sides maintained a stalemate.

The Qilin royal family was stopped by the Xuanwu royal family, and the Baihu royal family was entangled with the West Sea Dragon Court. Among the five royal families of the prehistoric world, only the Phoenix royal family remained without making a move.

Many powerful clan leaders were expecting the Phoenix Royal Family to send troops into the East Sea, but to their surprise, the Phoenix Royal Family showed no intention of taking action, and the Undying Phoenix Nest remained silent.

This move by the Phoenix Royal Family has put many powerful clans and royal families besieging the True Dragon Royal Family in a dilemma. If the Phoenix Royal Family doesn't take action, even if they join forces, they will be unable to do anything to the True Dragon Royal Family.

Once the five Dragon Emperors of the True Dragon Royal Family ascend to the Great Luo Dao Lord level, they will likely face dire consequences in the face of the True Dragon Royal Family's overwhelming wrath.

However, they were unwilling to give up their retreat. Faced with attacks from many powerful clans and royal families, the True Dragon Royal Family had always maintained a defensive posture, trying to preserve its strength as much as possible, even at the cost of giving up some territory and rare treasures.

These powerful clans and royal families have gained many benefits from the great war with the True Dragon Royal Family. Having tasted the sweetness of victory, they are unwilling to give up.

In reality, it wasn't that the Phoenix royal family didn't want to take action, but rather that they lacked the ability to do so.

As the second royal family in the primordial world, second only to the True Dragon Royal Family, after the five Dragon Emperors of the True Dragon Royal Family began to advance to the Great Luo Dao Lord realm, the five True Phoenix Lords of the Phoenix Royal Family also began to advance to the Great Luo Dao Lord realm.

The five True Phoenix Lords are currently engaged in the struggle against the Great Luo Tribulation and have no time to deal with the True Dragon Clan.

Moreover, if the outside world were to find out that all of the Phoenix Royal Family's top combat forces were unable to take action, then the Phoenix Royal Family's situation would likely be even more dire than that of the True Dragon Royal Family.

Having risen to prominence, the Phoenix Royal Family has accumulated numerous enemies, which is why they have adopted an exceptionally aloof attitude, refusing to participate in the major battles between the various powerful clans and the True Dragon Royal Family.

Time passed by, and with the combined attacks of numerous powerful clans and the two royal clans of White Tiger and Qilin, the True Dragon Royal Clan suffered heavy losses in recent years.

Even without top-tier combat power, the True Dragon Royal Family has persevered to this day without showing any signs of weakness.

An endless army surged forth from all corners of the sea, overwhelming the enemy with sheer numbers. The vast sea monster army swallowed everything in its path, slaughtering countless lives.

If it weren't for the presence of top-tier gods and demons within the Qilin and White Tiger royal families, the True Dragon royal family would have been able to suppress these powerful clans simply by relying on these sea beasts enslaved by the True Dragon royal family.

In the dimly lit chamber of the Dragon Court in the Western Sea, Fuxi's consciousness remained trapped in the Heavenly Tribulation, unable to escape.

The terror of the Heavenly Tribulation far exceeded Fuxi's previous estimates. The ocean of countless emotions and desires was something even Fuxi was powerless to resist for a time, and his consciousness and soul were slowly sinking.

Fuxi's life was too complicated, and his countless reincarnations were incredibly real. Each time, his memories and cultivation were stripped away, and he had to start all over again to experience life and death again and again.

Through countless cycles of life and death, Fuxi accumulated an immense torrent of emotions in his memories and consciousness. As soon as the Heavenly Tribulation began, Fuxi's consciousness was overwhelmed by the overwhelming memories and emotions.

If Fuxi hadn't primarily cultivated the Great Dao of the Soul, and his soul strength and scale far surpassed those of gods and demons of the same level, this attack would have been enough to cause Fuxi to fail in his advancement.

While the true dragon royal family was engaged in a fierce battle outside, Fuxi's consciousness was gradually regrouping, and he began to refine and transcend all his previous emotions.

The Heavenly Tribulation does not require suppressing or forgetting all one's past emotions, but rather requires transcending one's emotions and placing one's Dao heart above all other emotions.

The highest form of detachment from emotions does not mean being devoid of feelings; it means being detached from emotions and at peace with them.

Fuxi's Daoist mind was already at a high level, but he had not yet reached the state of supreme detachment from emotions.

However, the seventh level of the eight levels of the Heart Sutra created by Fuxi, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, is similar to the state of Supreme Forgetfulness, where the heart moves like the wind and stops like ice, transcending all things and living a carefree life.

Fuxi had not originally reached this stage; he was only at the sixth level, the Xiyi Palace, which was imperceptible yet omnipresent.

Now, as the Heavenly Tribulation progresses, Fuxi confronts all the emotions and desires of his life. His Dao Heart Realm is becoming increasingly clear and transparent through repeated sinking and struggles, and the profound true meaning of the seventh-level Bliss Kingdom is opening up to Fuxi.

The consciousness that had been mired in darkness was gradually recovering, and Fuxi's scattered consciousness had regrouped.

A crystal-clear, all-seeing light of the soul shone forth, and Fuxi's Dao heart remained untainted by dust, like a great sun slowly rising from the darkness.

The desires and emotions surrounding him, like the tide of silt, were completely pierced by the crystalline radiance of the pure white sun.

Consciousness dominates the mind. Fuxi's consciousness has leaped forward. His Dao heart, tempered by countless desires, has entered the seventh level of the eight levels of the Heart Sutra, the Land of Bliss. The Heavenly Tribulation no longer poses any danger to Fuxi.

In the dark, quiet room, a white light bloomed, and Fuxi opened his eyes, immediately sensing a complete transformation within himself.

Mind, body, essence, soul, cultivation, and realm—Fuxi is now a thousand or even ten thousand times more powerful than before.

The First King of Kings has completely become the source of his incarnation. His current body is no longer a simple incarnation, but rather the spirit of the colossal structure of the First King of Kings in the Great Wilderness. It can be regarded as a transformed innate treasure.

His origins are unparalleled in the entire primordial world. Even Cang Ling, born from the Great Dao Ancestral Tree, is only on par with the current Fuxi in terms of background.

Moreover, Cangling's physical body was suffering from five strains and seven injuries; how could it compare to Fuxi, whose origin was perfect?

With his divine sense expanding, Fuxi saw the heavenly order clearly and sensed the current predicament of the True Dragon Royal Family. He showed no surprise on his face.

This time, it took Fuxi a full 300,000 years to advance to the Great Luo Dao Lord. Before the advancement, Fuxi had already foreseen the predicament that the True Dragon Royal Family would face. Fuxi did it on purpose.

As the saying goes, "When things reach their peak, they decline," and the true dragon royal family cannot continue to reach its zenith in this way.
