Chapter 179 The Power of Heavenly Tribulation, The Earth Dragon Turns Over
Thunderous roars filled the sky, obscuring the sun.
A crimson thunder dragon darted through the clouds, its long roar echoing in all directions.
The original colorful, cloud-like spiritual energy tide was replaced by a blue and red color, and spiritual energy from all directions gathered and condensed above the Three Immortal Mountains.
at the same time.
They are more than a hundred miles away from the Three Immortals Mountain.
Several Nascent Soul stage cultivators, who had rushed from various places, arrived one after another.
"Fellow Daoist Chiya, how have you been?"
"Why didn't Fellow Daoist Yun Youzi come with you?"
In the air, an old man with white hair, standing on auspicious clouds, with a large, beautiful red flower in his hair and a white jade ruyi in his hand, looked at the old monster with red teeth flying close to him and greeted him with a smile.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Bai."
"Fellow Daoist Yunyouzi is in seclusion on the island and did not come with me."
"Does Fellow Daoist Bai know who this cultivator, currently undergoing a breakthrough, is?"
Old Monster Red Fang asked, his eyes filled with doubt.
This fellow Daoist with flowers in his hair is a very rare rabbit demon who cultivated to become a spirit pet. He was once the spirit pet of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Later, his Nascent Soul master found two Nascent Soul-forming spiritual items for him to help him break through.
Unexpectedly, it actually succeeded in one fell swoop, and by sheer luck, he achieved the Nascent Soul stage.
With the passing of the original owner of this Fellow Daoist Bai, Fellow Daoist Bai's personality became extremely strange.
Furthermore, he established a dojo on Rabbit Mountain within Lingzhou, gathering most of the rabbit demons with cultivation within Lingzhou and Yunzhou. His disciples can be said to be found throughout the entire Southern Yue Kingdom.
Among the Nascent Soul stage cultivators, his combat strength was not very strong; it could only be considered average.
"Fellow Daoist Chiya is joking. I rarely leave my home. If I hadn't sensed the spiritual energy surge during my breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, I would never have appeared here."
"The cultivators who can break through in these Three Immortal Mountains may not even be cultivators from our Southern Yue Kingdom."
"Otherwise, I would never have broken through in such a third-tier spiritual vein."
"At the very least, we will choose a fourth-tier spiritual vein."
"In my opinion, this person is probably a cultivator from another country who crossed the boundary mountain from the west."
After looking around, Bai Chunjiang slowly began to speak.
That makes sense.
"The cultivators who broke through on the Three Immortal Mountains are indeed very likely to be cultivators from other countries."
"I wonder what the situation is like. If they are difficult to deal with, I'm afraid the Nascent Soul forces within our Southern Yue Kingdom will suffer a lot of trouble."
Old Monster Red Fang nodded in agreement, quite certain of what the old rabbit had said.
A breakthrough to the Divine Transformation realm in such a remote place as Sanxian Mountain is unprecedented in history.
Only the old rabbit's explanation has some merit.
"I am all alone, and in my Rabbit Mountain, I don't even have a single fourth-tier spiritual item."
"I'm just protecting a nest of rabbits. As long as the person who breaks through isn't a demon like Chi Xue, they won't cause trouble for Rabbit Mountain. If they're easy to get along with, we outsiders who are here to pay our respects might even make a good impression on them."
"If I could get a word or two of advice from them, then the trip would have been worthwhile."
"Tell me, most of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Southern Yue Kingdom came here with this idea in mind."
"As long as there is no demonic aura in the celestial phenomena when this person breaks through, and we filter out the Chi blood that has never been found before, then things will be easy."
Bai Chunjiang saw things very clearly.
However, just as he himself said, he did not have any fourth-order spiritual items on his person or at home, only a low-grade fourth-order jade ruyi magic weapon.
However, a magic weapon wielded by a Nascent Soul cultivator in its early stages would be something a newly promoted Deity Transformation cultivator would never covet.
But at that moment, an unexpected change occurred.
The aura of the thunder dragon suspended in the sky surged rapidly, doubling in strength in just a few breaths. The giant dragon, about thirty or forty feet long, was as large as a mountain.
Simultaneously.
Even the originally calm geomantic energy around the Three Immortals Mountain experienced violent fluctuations.
On the peaks of Sanxian Mountain, due to the earth dragon turning over, huge and menacing cracks can be seen spreading across the steep cliffs.
Countless pebbles rolled down the mountain.
On the ground within a radius of more than ten miles around the Three Immortals Mountain, numerous fissures, some hundreds or even thousands of feet long, appeared.
"What's going on!?"
"The earth has turned upside down!"
"Why has the power of this lightning tribulation suddenly increased so much!"
"Could it be that in this world, it's becoming even more difficult for Nascent Soul cultivators to advance to the Deity Transformation stage!?"
"Under such a heavenly tribulation, even a fully prepared Nascent Soul stage cultivator would find it troublesome."
At this moment, Bai Chunjiang and Old Monster Chiya looked towards the direction of the Three Immortals Mountain with surprise. Strands of Nascent Soul stage divine sense spread out, and the Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the surrounding void all showed surprise and doubt, with a deep fear in their eyes.
Under such divine might, even cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage like them were nothing more than slightly larger ants.
"This kind of heavenly tribulation..."
"This is absolutely not normal!"
"Moreover, under this heavenly tribulation, there has never been a case of an earth dragon turning over."
"Perhaps other cultivators are secretly sabotaging this."
"Fellow Daoist Bai, this place is not safe to stay any longer."
The old monster with red fangs looked down at the cracked earth and said in a very solemn tone.
Under the current circumstances, it may be difficult for that cultivator in the Three Immortal Mountains to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
boom!!
Just as Old Monster Chiya finished speaking, several thunder dragons intertwined and transformed into a purple lightning pillar that crashed down upon the Three Immortals Mountain amidst the roars of dragons above.
Immediately, a series of layers of protective arrays were erected outside the Three Immortals Mountain.
Under the first Heavenly Tribulation.
The array barrier, which appeared to have nearly a hundred layers, had nearly forty layers blasted apart in the blink of an eye.
"So many formations."
"This person is indeed extremely well-prepared."
"pity…"
When Red Fang Old Monster and Bai Chunjiang saw the array barrier outside the mountain, both of them showed regret in their eyes.
In the blink of an eye.
The second bolt of lightning occurred only half an hour later, when more than ten dragons became entangled together and once again descended towards the Three Immortal Mountains.
Thunder rumbled and dragon roars echoed.
The dozens of protective arrays outside the mountain shattered after holding out for only a dozen breaths.
The Nascent Soul cultivators watching all narrowed their eyes. Then, from the belly of the Three Immortals Mountain, a nearly hundred-foot-tall, dilapidated ancient stone gate stood in the mountains.
When the thunderbolt from the sky struck the stone gate, it was easily caught by the stone gate.
"what?"
"Could it be a magic weapon from the Nascent Soul stage?"
When the Nascent Soul cultivators hidden in the shadows all around saw the ancient stone gate,
They all stared wide-eyed.
Many people's eyes revealed a look of greed.
If they could obtain such a magical treasure capable of resisting heavenly tribulations, it would be enough to become a treasure passed down through their sect.
When a disciple advances from the Core Formation stage to the Nascent Soul stage, the most difficult Heavenly Tribulation is no longer a major problem.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, that gate doesn't seem to belong to our Southern Yue Kingdom, does it?"
"Have you ever seen a Nascent Soul sect in the Eastern Sea Kingdom possess such a treasure capable of withstanding a heavenly tribulation!?"
When the old monster with red fangs saw the ancient stone door that had withstood the heavenly lightning, his expression hardened, and he asked with a look of doubt in his eyes.
"It looks like something from the secret realm of Lingxu City?"
"Or it may have been obtained from some secret realm."
"Those who can withstand the Nascent Soul Tribulation so easily must be from the Upper Realm."
After a moment of contemplation, Bai Chunjiang slowly spoke.
After all, the fact that such a seemingly broken stone door could withstand the heavenly lightning so easily made Bai Chunjiang suspect that the Nascent Soul cultivator in the Three Immortal Mountains might be a cultivator who fell from the upper realm to the lower realm.
That way, things can be explained clearly.
Why did the power of this Nascent Soul Tribulation suddenly increase? Perhaps the opponent still has the aura of a cultivator from the upper realm, which is why the tribulation locked onto him and forcibly increased the power of the tribulation lightning.
"The Upper Realm..."
The old monster with the red fangs thought the same thing.
At the same time, Old Monster Chiya already had the intention to retreat. Even if he wanted to fight for that stone gate magic treasure, which was comparable to the Nascent Soul stage, he was powerless to do so.
The old monster with red teeth has just recovered about 70-80% of his injuries.
If he were to fight against a cultivator of the same level, the opponent would know he was injured as soon as they exchanged blows. Right now, Old Monster Red Fang has no intention of getting involved in these battles.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I shall take my leave now."
"This place is becoming increasingly chaotic, so I will not stay any longer."
With a determined look in his eyes, Old Monster Chiya bowed to Bai Chunjiang and then transformed into an incredibly swift meteor, disappearing from the vicinity of the Three Immortal Mountains in just a few breaths into the distant sea of clouds.
As Bai Chunjiang watched the departing Red Fang Old Monster, he sensed that the atmosphere around him had become much heavier.
The treasure appeared
Even if the treasure shattered during the tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage, just the fragments would still be incredibly valuable to these Nascent Soul cultivators.
Bai Chunjiang's combat ability is practically at the bottom among cultivators of the same level.
He still has a sense of self-awareness.
"Ugh."
"The treasure is wonderful, but a rabbit only has one life."
"I'm leaving now!"
Bai Chunjiang shook his head and then transformed into a streak of light, leaving the place. At the same time, several of the early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators who were watching also left.
Once such a treasure appears,
Adding to the bizarre sight of the earth dragon turning over, it's anyone's guess what will happen next.
However, those early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators who were watching were among the weakest of all cultivators, so they naturally had to be cautious and prioritize preserving their lives.
Although the physical body is destroyed, the nascent soul can still possess another body.
However, unless absolutely necessary, the nascent soul will not be allowed to leave the body. After the nascent soul leaves the body, not only will one's cultivation be greatly damaged and one's lifespan be halved, but one will also find it difficult to advance even slightly in the future, and one's realm will be permanently locked.
Therefore, many cautious Nascent Soul stage cultivators chose to leave this place.
If a Nascent Soul cultivator were to secretly intervene, and they delayed any longer, it might not be so easy for them to leave.
...
...
now.
Five hundred miles outside the Three Immortals Mountain.
This is on an unnamed low peak.
A yellow stream of light emerged from the ground, revealing a white-haired girl with the body of a centipede. In her right hand was a spinning, earth-yellow pearl.
This precious pearl contains an astonishing earth-elemental spiritual power.
"That's really interesting."
"This guy tore down his sect's main gate and put it in the lower realm to resist the heavenly tribulation. That's quite creative of you!"
At this moment, a yellowish-brown talisman flashed in Lunar Eclipse's eyes.
Using his ability to detect earth veins, he also spotted the aura of a Xuanmen cultivator in the Three Immortals Mountain and sensed an ancient stone gate standing in the mountain.
The stone gate is crafted using unique techniques employed by spirit realm array masters.
Upon seeing the stone gate, Luna's eyes fell into a look of reminiscence. Back when their Gu clan was hunting down the scattered Xuanmen cultivators on Qianyuan Mountain, they had seen such a stone gate.
Even the refining method on the stone gate is still the same.
She was certain in her heart that it was the gate of one of the thirty-six caves of Qianyuan Mountain, belonging to a certain Xuanmen sect.
"pity."
"Your door is in such a dilapidated state."
"And that thunderbolt, this is only the beginning."
"How many more blows can you withstand?"
"When the power of the earth veins within this precious pearl is fully unleashed."
"That will be the moment you break through and suffer the backlash."
A greedy, devouring desire flashed in Eclipse's eyes. This two-legged sheep, who had advanced to the half-step Nascent Soul stage, absolutely could not be allowed to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, otherwise a newly promoted Nascent Soul stage Xuanmen cultivator would be in danger.
The first thing the other party will definitely do is search for the aura of their Dragon Devouring Gu in the vicinity of this lower realm.
Lunar Eclipse clearly understood that the Gu Clan and the cultivators of the Thirty-Six Caves of Qianyuan Mountain had been mortal enemies since their invasion of Qianyuan Mountain.
She would never allow this Xuanmen cultivator to successfully advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
If she were to suffer a backlash from the heavenly lightning, she might capture that Xuanmen cultivator and make him her nourishing food.
After pausing briefly on the low peak, the Moon Eclipse formed a hand seal, transformed into a streak of earthy yellow light, and burrowed underground, heading towards the Three Immortals Mountain.
...
...
Sanxian Mountain.
Inside a cave in the mountains.
Lin Chuan sensed the power of the heavenly tribulation above the sky, and after it suddenly doubled, a look of worry appeared on his face.
Furthermore, the subsequent earthquake caused many of the array plates set up on Mount Sanxian to shift, and the power of the defensive array was reduced by at least 20-30% in a short period of time.
Is this rejection from the lower realms?
"The earth's veins are shaking; someone must be secretly behind this!"
The power of this Nascent Soul Tribulation was completely different from what Lin Chuan had predicted. After all, he had been in the Fallen Immortal Valley for many years, and the aura of the Upper Realm within his body should have been completely worn away long ago.
"Chasing the spirit..."
Just then, Linchuan seemed to sense something.
He spared a sliver of his mind and used a spirit-tracking technique, and in the earth's veins beneath the ground, he actually sensed an extremely subtle Gu clan aura.
