A few days later …
"Phew!"
Xia Ping stayed in his residence and took a deep breath. His eyes shone with a terrifying golden light that seemed to be able to pierce through the void. Even the restriction formation could not stop it.
Deep and mysterious restriction formations seemed to appear in the depths of his eyes. They seemed to be connected to the River of Hell. A whirlpool appeared and seemed to be able to devour the souls of countless living beings.
Without a doubt, the Golden Crow of Hell bloodline in his body became more intense. He continued to awaken millions of cells.
At the same time, after a few days of seclusion cultivation, devouring the primordial aura of the Holy Land of Taichu, and receiving the energy from the Immortal-level stars vine, Xia Ping's magic power and cultivation increased by leaps and bounds.
Now, he had advanced to the peak of the Transcendence Realm. He was just one step away from breaking through to the Thunder Tribulation Realm and standing at the peak of many mortals.
He felt that his nine Purple Mansions were filled with magic power. They seemed to have reached the perfected realm. His primordial spirit was also unbelievably powerful.
Compared to himself a few days ago, he was at least 20% stronger.
He was constantly evolving at a speed visible to the naked eye. His power was constantly being strengthened. If others saw this, their jaws would definitely drop.
Xia Ping was already powerful enough. Now, he was actually 20% stronger. He was not giving anyone a way out at all.
"Seems like the next step is the Thunder Tribulation Realm. I wonder what the Thunder Tribulation Realm is like?"
Xia Ping thought about it and called out the green ox to ask. The green ox was an artifact spirit that followed the saints and was very knowledgeable. It must know everything about the next step of cultivation.
As for Korin, he was smelting and forging the Stars. He was carefully observing the fusion between the Stars and the stars vine. He did not have time for now, so he did not disturb him.
However, according to Korin's speculation, the stars vine should be able to completely fuse with the Stars in about a month's time. Then, he would be able to fly freely in the ordinary areas of the Central Universe.
He was looking forward to the fusion between the Stars and the stars vine.
"Master, the Thunder Tribulation Realm, as the name suggests, is a supreme realm that is experiencing the Thunder Tribulation."
Hearing Xia Ping's question, the green ox immediately answered, "Advancing to this realm means reaching the limit that mortals can reach. At this time, one can see the River of Destiny and understand oneself."
It told Xia Ping everything it knew, because its fate was now linked to Xia Ping's. The stronger Xia Ping was, the brighter its future would be.
"River of Fate?!"
Xia Ping blinked his eyes and looked at the green ox, not understanding what it was.
"The so-called River of Destiny is a special river in the deepest part of the sea of consciousness."
The green ox thought carefully and said in a deep voice, "When you see this river, you can see your fate, your lifespan, control everything about yourself, and know your body like the back of your hand.
To Daoists, it's the River of Destiny. To Buddhists, it's the Sea of Bitterness. To angels, it's the River Styx. In short, different cultivation systems have different sayings, but they all lead to the same destination. "
When it spoke up to this point, it paused for a moment before it continued. "Only by crossing this river and crossing the Sea of Misery can one escape the Sea of Misery, escape the three realms, obtain great fortune, attain great freedom, and attain Sainthood."
"Cross the sea of bitterness? If that's the case, why did it trigger the lightning tribulation? "
Xia Ping nodded thoughtfully, but continued to ask.
"It's very simple."
The green ox said, "Every time you cross the Sea of Misery, you'll trigger the backlash of the universe's origin. After advancing a certain distance and advancing a realm, the universe's origin will slowly brew the lightning tribulation. When it reaches a certain level, the lightning tribulation will descend. Therefore, Lightning Tribulation Eminences will experience three lightning tribulations, each more terrifying than the last.
Of course, there are also many Lightning Tribulation Eminences who can't cross the next distance from the beginning to the end. Even if they want to trigger the next lightning tribulation, it's extremely difficult. "
It was very emotional. After living for a long time, it naturally knew how difficult it was to cross the Sea of Misery and reach the other side.
If it was really easy, then the world would be filled with Saints.
"Why is it difficult to cross?"
Xia Ping narrowed his eyes.
"That's because the power to cross the Sea of Misery is the essence spirit. If the essence spirit isn't strong enough, it'll be difficult to move an inch in the Sea of Misery. It's extremely difficult for ordinary Lightning Tribulation Eminences to cross a certain distance. Every time they advance, they'll need to expend a lot of time and energy. Sometimes, they won't even be able to cross a third of the distance at the end of their lifespan."
The green ox looked at Xia Ping.
Upon hearing this, Xia Ping came to a sudden realization. He also understood that all the Lightning Tribulation Eminences hoped to increase their lifespan. That was because the longer their lifespan, the higher their chances of crossing the Sea of Misery and reaching the other side.
Sometimes, some peak Lightning Tribulation Eminences could succeed with just a little more time.
The green ox continued, "But then again, crossing the Sea of Misery doesn't mean that it's better to have a stronger essence spirit. Sometimes, if you're too strong, the power of the Sea of Misery will also increase. When that happens, you'll be trapped in the Sea of Misery forever, unable to break free."
It looked at Xia Ping worriedly, feeling that Xia Ping's future path to becoming a Saint was filled with difficulties.
This was because Xia Ping's essence spirit was too powerful. It would be more than 10,000 times more difficult for him to cross the Sea of Misery than others.
In fact, many monstrous experts were trapped in the Lightning Tribulation Eminence. They were unable to break through until they died of old age. Sometimes, being too strong was also a kind of shackle.
Xia Ping wasn't worried about this. Although it was a shackle, after breaking through, he would definitely be many times stronger than ordinary Saints. Those Saints who took the shortcut were probably the weakest Saints. They wouldn't be able to improve after countless years.
From this perspective, those Saints would probably regret taking the shortcut only to realize that it wasn't a shortcut at all. It was a dead end, an abyss.
He continued to ask, "What realm will it be after jumping out of the Sea of Misery?"
"Once you jump out of the Sea of Misery and reach the other side, you'll be able to fly freely in the sky and jump freely in the sea. You'll have already jumped out of the river of destiny and can truly control your own fate and escape the shackles of fate. At that time, you'll be a Saint, an immortal Saint!"
The green ox said excitedly, "After jumping out of the Sea of Misery, your essence spirit will transform into a bit of True Spirit. Your entire body will become an immortal existence and obtain longevity. Even if your body is blasted into bits, as long as a single cell remains, you can revive again.
This is the terror of a Saint. They have an immortal body. That's a realm that mortals will never be able to imagine. Even if you're blasted countless times by the Planetary Obliteration Cannons, you won't die and will remain unscathed.
When you reach this realm, you've actually already broken away from the shackles of your race and life. They've already become another race. They can be called the Longevity Race. "
