Journey to the West: Deer Power Immortal, Starting from Becoming a Disciple of the Supreme Lord Tais

The two demons, Tiger Power and Sheep Power, watched in horror from below. Their third brother had withstood the tribulation lightning with his bare body; he was truly skilled and daring.

Lu Qingxuan was still immersed in the feeling of being struck earlier.

He discovered that his physical body had become slightly stronger after being struck by the tribulation lightning. He wondered if he could have the same effect if he channeled the power of the tribulation lightning into his golden core.

boom!

The Taoist temple trembled from the lightning strike.

Amidst the thunder, several bolts of lightning flashed, followed closely by a second bolt of tribulation lightning!

Lu Qingxuan was in mid-air, his golden core activated to its limit, actually drawing the tribulation lightning into it.

boom!

The golden core trembled violently, and golden ripples spread across its surface.

A piercing pain shot through his dantian, and Lu Qingxuan groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes shone with a burning light.

Because he could sense that although the heavenly lightning was violent, it was tempering his golden core.

The impurities invisible to the naked eye on the surface of the golden core were peeled away and burned away layer by layer by the power of lightning. A single tribulation lightning bolt made his golden core even purer.

feasible!

Lu Qingxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was also gambling by using tribulation lightning to refine the golden pill.

If you lose, all your cultivation will be lost.

Fortunately, the golden core within him held up; otherwise, he would have had no one to cry to.

The third tribulation lightning followed immediately. Lu Qingxuan used the same method again, continuing to use his golden core to withstand the heavenly tribulation, allowing his golden core to collide with the Great Dao.

As his cultivation progressed, his understanding of the Golden Core Dao became more and more profound. Today he could use tribulation lightning to temper his Golden Core. In the future, could he borrow the power of heaven and earth to temper it?

For a moment, Lu Qingxuan fell into a wonderful state, his mind was clear and his golden core even began to absorb those subtle arcs of lightning for tempering.

hum!

The fourth bolt of tribulation lightning crashed down, its force even more ferocious than the previous three.

The lightning bolt was as thick as a human arm, its entire body displaying a deep golden hue. Abundant power of the Great Dao poured down, causing Lu Qingxuan's body to sink several feet!

Within a radius of dozens of miles, a group of passersby couldn't help but stop and watch, and many of them knelt down and kowtowed to the place to pray for blessings.

Some demon cultivators, seeing this scene, quickly dodged away, fearing they would be implicated.

"Such a powerful heavenly tribulation! Someone in this realm has actually broken through to the Profound Immortal realm?"

"I just wonder how severe this heavenly tribulation will be..."

As the lightning dissipated, Lu Qingxuan's figure reappeared in mid-air.

The golden core within his body shone brightly, becoming even more solid and powerful than before.

Lu Qingxuan looked up at the sky, waiting for the fifth tribulation lightning to fall, while also wondering how many tribulations he would face in his Xuanxian Heavenly Tribulation.

According to the original owner's memories, the lightning tribulation that descended upon him when he became an immortal was only sixfold, which was not extremely bad, but it was definitely not very good either.

I wonder if my appearance will cause unforeseen changes, or make my own tribulation go erratic.

boom!

As he pondered, the fifth bolt of tribulation lightning struck.

Lu Qingxuan copied the method exactly, and his golden core shone brightly.

Then came the sixth...

The Golden Core has undergone a complete transformation compared to before the tribulation.

It must be said that the Heavenly Tribulation is indeed very authoritative. Using the power of the Great Dao to cleanse the Golden Core is much more effective than simply refining it with incense.

The only pity is that it couldn't last long; the next chance will probably have to wait until the Golden Immortal Tribulation...

but,

What's going on with these calamity clouds?

Lu Qingxuan looked up and found that the tribulation lightning in mid-air showed no sign of dissipating.

There seemed to be something terrifying brewing!

Lu Qingxuan was surprised, and then thought of a possibility: could it be that his appearance changed the original trajectory of Lu Li Daxian, thus attracting the reckoning of the Great Dao?

If that's the case, the tribulation lightning that follows will likely far surpass what came before...

Lu Qingxuan gave a wry smile and quickly took out the alchemy furnace and crawled into it.

The third tribulation brings change. If one tries to withstand the seventh tribulation lightning with a golden core, they will likely end up dying and their cultivation dissipating.

Who knows if his seventh tribulation lightning might be mixed with something terrifying...

boom!

After a long while, the seventh bolt of tribulation lightning finally struck.

This time, the color of the tribulation lightning changed from gold to purplish-gold, and it even carried a trace of the aura of the beginning of chaos, making it several times more powerful than the sixth tribulation lightning.

It was clear that they intended to hack Lu Qingxuan to death.

The lightning struck, and the blinding light instantly engulfed the alchemy furnace.

The power of the tribulation lightning poured into the alchemy furnace, and the terrifying force made the furnace vibrate loudly. Lu Qingxuan dared not be careless and hurriedly activated his cultivation technique to resist it.

The scene was extremely horrifying; even a single glance was enough to cause a piercing pain to the soul.

One can imagine how terrifying it would be to be there.

...

Ten thousand miles away, on Longevity Mountain, lies the Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhen Yuanzi was meditating in his quiet room when suddenly his brow twitched, his two white eyebrows slightly raised, and his gaze pierced through the clouds to land in the direction of Zhongnan Mountain.

"what?"

Zhen Yuanzi let out a soft "hmm," a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He quickly figured out the clues with a quick calculation.

"Using heavenly tribulations as a whetstone and thunder as a tempering hammer to forge one's own Great Dao, that's quite interesting." After a moment, a faint smile appeared on Zhen Yuanzi's lips.

He had lived for tens of thousands of years and had seen countless cultivators, but those who dared to make such an attempt under the heavenly tribulation could be counted on one hand.

Some of those people achieved great success, while others vanished without a trace, but without exception, they were all individuals of great perseverance and wisdom.

Ordinary cultivators seek stability and to avoid making mistakes; they are content as long as they can successfully pass through the tribulation.

In contrast, Lu Qingxuan was using the power of the heavenly tribulation to advance further. This courage reminded Zhen Yuanzi of many people and many things...

As for that golden elixir...

Zhen Yuanzi smiled without saying a word. After a long while, he called out, "Qingfeng, Mingyue."

A short while later, two young boys pushed open the door and entered, bowing respectfully: "What are your orders, sir?"

Zhen Yuanzi said, "You two should go to Zhongnan Mountain."

Qingfeng and Mingyue exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised. "Master, has that young Taoist priest caused trouble again?"

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and said, "No need to ask any more questions. Take two immortal fruits with you on this trip and hand them over to the young Taoist priest once he has successfully transcended his tribulation."

The gentle breeze and the bright moon were both taken aback.

"Master, what's wrong with you...?" Qingfeng couldn't help but ask.

Although Zhen Yuanzi only mentioned immortal fruits, there are very few people in the entire world who would send gifts to their master.

What merits or abilities does this young Taoist priest possess?

Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand, offering no explanation, and simply said, "Go..."

Qingfeng and Mingyue dared not ask any more questions and bowed as they left the quiet room.

Once outside, Mingyue couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Why is Master so concerned about that little demon? First, he gave him the Ganoderma lucidum fruit, then he rescued him from King Linggan, and now he's even sending him immortal fruits. Could that little Taoist priest be Master's... personal accomplice?"

Before Mingyue could finish speaking, Qingfeng interrupted her: "Watch your words! How dare you spout such nonsense? Be careful what the master says!"

Mingyue shrank back dejectedly, realizing she had said the wrong thing.

"Since the master has given the order, let's do as he says. Let's go, Zhongnan Mountain is not close."

After saying this, the two boys rode on the clouds and headed towards Zhongnan Mountain.
