Although a few Immortals from long ago still survive, they only bear the label of ’Fake Immortals,’ not part of the mainstream.
Dongfang Xinglan slightly furrowed his eyebrows: "Spiritual Power, and the Spirit Sea Divine Platform, I..."
"Don’t have them?" Xiao Yinruo chuckled lightly: "Then where does the ’Qi’ that you cultivate internally come from?"
Dongfang Xinglan appeared thoughtful, then bowed respectfully: "Thank you, senior, for your guidance."
"Hmm." Xiao Yinruo turned his head towards Pei Wanyu and said: "Being able to summon the Thunder Dragon during the Spiritual Power Tribulation, you can definitely show off."
Pei Wanyu lifted her chin slightly: "Hmmph."
She then turned to Dongfang Xinglan and said: "If you wish to cultivate Spiritual Power, wait until you’ve solved your current problems; there’s no rush now."
"Understood, senior," he replied.
Pei Wanyu nodded and continued to focus on her good disciple’s tribulation crossing.
Crossing Tribulation is a long process, and what she lacks the least is time to wait.
On the platform, as the Thunder Dragon from the tribulation clouds struck down, Lu Jin’an’s body involuntarily trembled, the physical pain accompanied by the heightened sensations of the Five Desires and Six Dusts. Yet, he continued to run the "Great Freedom Visualization Technique," focusing on the Laws contained within the Heavenly Tribulation and nature’s spiritual energy.
These insights must be impressed upon and reorganized into the Spirit Sea later, as they greatly benefit the future path of cultivation. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
The Nine Changes to Immortality and the Nine Tribulations of Leaving Mortality mark a crucial transition between man and Immortal. Lu Jin’an dared not slack in this realm.
The winds surged, clouds roiled in the heavens, and Spiritual Energy surged like tides. Thunderous Heavenly Tribulations reverberated throughout.
Suspended high in the air amidst the Spiritual Energy, it appeared to be surrounded by dazzling rainbow-hued light, obviously the various attributes of Spiritual Energy manifesting into physical phenomena.
This phenomenon is closely related to the attributes of the spiritual power cultivated by the cultivator; each attribute of spiritual power corresponds to a different color of spiritual energy phenomenon.
Lu Jin’an’s spiritual energy phenomenon was rainbow-colored, closely tied to the "Great Freedom Visualization Technique." If there’s one advantage to this phenomenon, it’s that it makes it easier to understand the Dao Essence contained within the spiritual energy.
Because of the Five Elements Interactions, because water can turn to ice, ice can melt to water... Thus, through different approaches, one can deeply understand these attributes’ Dao Essence.
Lu Jin’an looked at the rapidly collapsing Spirit Sea and listened to the booming thunder beside his ears. Suddenly, a thought emerged from his heart.
The Heavenly Tribulation is essentially a type of Thunder Attribute Spiritual Energy. Could it be possible to refine the Heavenly Tribulation into the Spirit Sea and thereby develop a new Daoist Skill?
With that thought, Lu Jin’an immediately invoked the Time Rule, simultaneously deducing and forcefully capturing the Heavenly Tribulation striking the Spirit Sea.
Because the spiritual power was crossing tribulation, he utilized the Vigorous Force stored in the Dao Palace within the five viscera and six bowels!
At this moment, Lu Jin’an was wantonly capturing the Heavenly Tribulation, wantonly comprehending the Dao Essence, wantonly... enduring a singular significant opportunity every cultivator encounters only once in their life.
This process lasted a long time, as if time lost its meaning within the Heavenly Tribulation.
From dusk till dawn, the first day of the Ten Domains Martial Arts Competition on Sumeru Mountain passed within the Heavenly Tribulation without any progress.
On the Fire Phoenix Boat, Xiao Yinruo sipped tea lightly, eyebrows slightly furrowed: "The Heavenly Tribulation hasn’t weakened at all, this child..."
She scanned Lu Jin’an with her divine thought, eyes revealing surprise: "This child is refining the Heavenly Tribulation?"
"My disciple!" Pei Wanyu said proudly.
Xiao Yinruo gave her a sideways glance: "Heavenly Tribulations aren’t so easily refined! Moreover, the Spirit Sea can’t possibly sustain a Heavenly Tribulation..."
"He’s learning Immortal Law."
"So what?" Xiao Yinruo snorted lightly: "Heavenly Tribulation is a kind of Heavenly Dao Law, how could a Tribulation Crossing Realm practitioner comprehending Dao Essence withstand it?
Even the topmost Immortal Law can’t achieve that, beware of the inadvertent backlash from the Heavenly Dao!"
Xiao Yinruo’s speech quickened a few notches: "Refining the Heavenly Tribulation is going against the heavens, and although the Heavenly Dao is unfeeling, the running rules are there... Only by becoming an Immortal can one not fear the Heavenly Tribulation entirely!"
Heavenly Tribulation is no child’s play; normally, cultivators are cautious during tribulation crossing, silently enduring the baptism of Heavenly Tribulation, who dares to provoke the Heavenly Tribulation?
The Tribulation Crossing Realm truly lacks the capital to defy.
Yet Lu Jin’an is doing just that now.
Constantly watching Lu Jin’an’s changes in the Spirit Sea, Pei Wanyu’s hands slightly tightened: "Jin’an dares to do this, indicating he has a way."
"What way could..." Xiao Yinruo’s voice paused, while Pei Wanyu’s eyes shone with joy: "See, I told you Jin’an has a way, right?"
Xiao Yinruo gazed at Lu Jin’an, slightly parted red lips, peach blossom eyes flickering with a trace of astonishment.
This child is using the Time Rule to compress the Heavenly Tribulation!
The Heavenly Tribulation is essentially a type of Thunder Attribute Spiritual Energy, but the tribulation crossing touches the Heavenly Dao rules, thus it possesses greater power than ordinary lightning.
But its essence is still Thunder Attribute Spiritual Energy.
Therefore, by utilizing the Time Rule to control the Heavenly Tribulation and compress it to its essence, theoretically, there’s a possibility of integrating it into the Spirit Sea.
But it’s just theoretical...
Yet, Lu Jin’an is willing to attempt this theory.
Xiao Yinruo lightly pinched her red lips, this child really is...
Xiao Yinruo looked up at the sky, the rumble of the Heavenly Tribulation louder than before, evidently trying to punish Lu Jin’an’s defiance.
But for Lu Jin’an, who was attempting to refine the Heavenly Tribulation, it seemed rather to be a reward?
Because the amount of Heavenly Tribulation Lu Jin’an could grasp using the Time Rule at one time was so little, the more Heavenly Tribulation, the more attempts he could make, and the greater the chances of success.
Xiao Yinruo glanced at Pei Wanyu, the bright glint in her friend’s eyes seemingly tangible.
’In this aspect, there’s no difference from Nanzhi...’
Xiao Yinruo lowered her head and looked into the teacup in her hand, the rippling water surface reflecting her own face, lightly smiling yet with somewhat obscure eyes.
