Chapter 441

"What?! Isn't Immortal Jiang going to cross the tribulation in a few years? " Yong Xing blurted out. He knew that Shi Xuan would never dare to lie about such a thing, but he still couldn't believe it. Although Penglai had three seniors who were above the Primordial Spirit Realm, who were second to none in the eight major sects, one of them was still in another Vast Thousand Domains and hadn't been summoned back in time. The other one, even though he had reached the Gold Core Realm, he hadn't seen it yet, so he didn't know what inconvenience it would bring. The only person in charge of the sect was Immortal Jiang. If he failed to cross the tribulation, then Penglai would probably be in danger.

On the other side, Spirit Star's reaction was no different from Yong Xing's, and they were both a little panicked. Only Xie Fangwei was calm as usual. He said gently, "Martial Uncles, don't worry. Since Immortal Jiang has triggered the tribulation ahead of time, he must have accumulated enough. Moreover, he has also prepared for many years, so he should have a seventy to eighty percent chance of success."

Shi Xuan didn't want to interrupt. He couldn't say that it was because of him that Immortal Jiang triggered the tribulation ahead of time. Besides, even if he said it, others might not believe it. How could a little Divine Soul Stage cultivator trigger the tribulation of a Immortal?

At this time, the sect leader had returned from the back. His face was calm, but his eyes were still solemn. "Lao Dao has already activated the Nine Heavens Capital Seal Myriad Thunder Immortal Array and sent the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Immortal Seal to Grandmaster. He should be crossing the tribulation soon." After saying that, he mobilized the power of the array and opened a round water mirror in the middle of the hall.

It was already dark outside Penglai's mountain gate. The dark clouds hung low in the sky, as if they could touch the summit of Dubhe Peak. The disciples who were close to the outside were all pulled into the mountain gate by the array. They all looked around in surprise, wondering why this was happening. Those who were far away had received the sect leader's message, telling them to stay as far away as possible. As for the disciples and elders inside the sect, because of the array, they didn't know what was happening. The only thing they were curious about was why they were forbidden to go out.

Shi Xuan saw that the water mirror was full of dark clouds, making the surroundings as dark as night. Suddenly, a huge silver lightning split the dark clouds and struck straight down, making the sky extremely bright. The water mirror was also shattered by this strike, and the situation outside could no longer be seen.

"Alas, the power of the tribulation is really hard to predict. I can't even spy on it." Sect Leader Zhang sighed and drew another water mirror. This time, it didn't show the sky, but the sea outside.

That incomparably blue sea seemed to be boiling and bubbling, turning crimson red. Suddenly, something rose up in the middle of the sea, pushing the seawater in all directions, forming a scene of monstrous waves. When that thing revealed its shape, it was an incomparably huge volcano. It was because of the tribulation that the terrain had changed.

The crater of the volcano fiercely spewed out a crimson red flame that was close to black, shooting up to several thousand feet into the sky. The water mirror also sizzled at the same time as the flame erupted, then turned into white smoke and evaporated. Shi Xuan only had time to see the crimson red flame that fell onto the seawater, creating huge whirlpools one after another. Countless fish were burned to ashes in the flames.

"The Yin Fire of the Earth Lung that has been burning for tens of thousands of years is also extremely powerful." Xie Fangwei sighed. After that, the people in the Reception Hall could only wait slowly. They had no way to guess the situation of Zhenren Jiang's tribulation, and the scene was extremely silent.

"Sect Leader, there are many disciples outside asking to see you. They say that they were outside, but for some reason, they returned to the sect. They are afraid that there is something strange going on." A disciple guarding the Reception Hall came in and reported.

"Go out and tell them that this is the sect's doing, so there is no need to worry." Sect Leader Zhang's expression was calm.

The disciple could only answer with a "yes", but in his heart, he was thinking that even if it was the sect's doing, it was still very strange. How could a sect do something like this without any reason? He began to feel a little frightened. If something happened to the sect, how could there be eggs that would be unscathed when the nest was overturned? He was afraid that a great disaster would befall him. He secretly raised his eyes and saw that the Disciplinary Hall, the General Affairs Hall, the Alioth Peak, and the Master of Phecda Peak were all there. Thinking back to how the Master of Phecda Peak's Uncle-Master Shi rushed in, he felt that something big had happened.

Seeing his reaction, Xie Fangwei smiled calmly and calmly, "There is a great storm coming. The sect is afraid that the disciples outside will be injured, so they used the power of the matrix to move those who are close to back. Even those who are far away, they are sent to hide far away. There is no big problem."

Xie Fangwei's calm and collected expression infected the disciple. He calmed down and bowed to leave. He didn't even think about what kind of storm could make the current first sect so vigilant.

"It should be the last one. The Grandmaster has begun to mobilize the power of the matrix." Sect Leader Zhang said with a solemn expression. He was judging which juncture Zhenren Jiang had reached by sensing the changes in the matrix. Generally speaking, the first few tribulations relied on one's own cultivation, the middle few tribulations relied on a combination of magic treasures and secret treasures, and finally, the most powerful one would mobilize the matrix. Of course, there were those with strong strength who could pass it without magic treasures, secret treasures, or matrix. There were also those with weak strength who had to start using the matrix in the middle. Moreover, those Primordial Spirit Venerables among the rogue cultivators did not have the strength to set up a Yang Spirit level matrix like the Nine Heavens Innumerable Thunder Immortal Matrix.

Shi Xuan and Xie Fangwei looked at each other, but they couldn't feel the changes in the matrix. First, the sect leader had a Yin Spirit cultivation, and second, the center of the Nine Heavens Innumerable Thunder Immortal Matrix was still controlled by him, and it was only temporarily lent to Zhenren Jiang.

Suddenly, the Reception Hall shook violently. Fortunately, everyone present had high cultivation, so they didn't lose their balance. However, Yong Xiang and Ling Xing's expressions changed drastically, and they all looked at the sect leader. Even Shi Xuan and Xie Fangwei began to worry. After all, they had never seen a Zhenren go through a tribulation before, so they couldn't tell what the situation was like. However, the joy on the sect leader's face made the four of them feel relieved.

"It's done!" Sect Leader Zhang said as he drew a water mirror. The mirror showed the scene outside Penglai. The dark clouds in the sky had dissipated, revealing a clear sky. Nine volcanoes appeared around Penglai, each of them towering. There was a figure standing in mid-air, but from the water mirror, it was distorted, flickering. However, the one there could only be Zhenren Jiang.

As expected, Zhenren Jiang's voice came from the water mirror. "Blood River Old Devil, Yan Luo Old Devil, I didn't expect you to come all the way here to celebrate Lao Dao's success in going through the tribulation. How sincere."

A low, buzzing voice sounded. "Jiang Old Devil, I didn't expect you to go through the tribulation ahead of time. Yan Luo Old Devil and I couldn't make it in time. We came here for nothing." During the tribulation, the other Yang Spirit Sages didn't dare to get close, or they would trigger their own tribulations. They could only take advantage of the moment when the tribulation had just ended and was at its weakest. But now it seemed that Zhenren Jiang had successfully passed through the period of weakness and recovered some of his strength. With the magic treasures in his hands and the celestial matrix below, he didn't fear the two at all.

"Hehe, last time you took advantage of Grandmaster Chen's tribulation to attack the sect. At that time, Lao Dao had just reached the Primordial Divinity realm, and he also used magic treasures and formations to force you back. Now everyone has gone through two tribulations, and Lao Dao has the home advantage. Maybe one of you can stay." Zhenren Jiang said leisurely. When a Primordial Divinity Sage went through the tribulation, either other Zhenren of the sect or close friends would be there to prevent a sneak attack. However, Zhenren Jiang had triggered the tribulation ahead of time, so no matter who was there to help or prepare for a sneak attack, they couldn't make it in time.

A gloomy voice said, "Humph, at that time, I and Fellow Taoist Blood River had only gone through one tribulation. Plus, you had the help of Qing Hezi and Meng Nishang, two old farts. Otherwise, you wouldn't have succeeded. You've just gone through two of the nine heavenly tribulations, so you haven't accumulated much. If you want to make me stay, you're still lacking. " As he spoke, Shi Xuan and the others in the Receiving Heaven Hall felt the cold wind from the water mirror. It seemed that this person's ability should be higher than Xue He Laozu and Zhenren Jiang. He was closer to the third tribulation. Of course, Xue He Laozu still had many clones outside, so his ability was suppressed.

"Daoist Jiang, don't you have I to help you now?" A gentle and clear voice sounded, but it was a patch of clear air that lit up the sky.

The scene suddenly became quiet. After a long time, Zhenren Jiang said, "Thank you, Daoist Gui Yuanzi."

"Daoist Jiang, you're too courteous. Penglai and my Yingzhou Sect are of the same branch. This is what I should do. A few years ago, when Martial Nephew Daoquan Zi passed away, it was also thanks to Daoist Jiang's help. Alright, Daoist Jiang, you should stabilize your cultivation first. I will take my leave now. "Gui Yuanzi left after he finished speaking.

He didn't expect Daoquan Zi to have passed away. It seemed that he didn't go through the third tribulation. It was hard for such a talented person to survive the tribulation. The path of Dao was really arduous. Shi Xuan sighed in his heart.

Then, Shi Xuan and the others saw from the water mirror that Zhenren Jiang extended his palm and pressed down. A huge palm appeared on each of the nine volcanoes, pressing them down into the seawater and the seabed. After a dozen breaths, the seawater calmed down. One couldn't tell that there were nine volcanoes there at all, and the scenery outside of Penglai was restored.

"Lao Dao needs to go into seclusion for a period of time. Ends of the Earth will be managed by you, Xie Fangwei, for now." Just when Shi Xuan and the others were shocked by Zhenren Jiang's attack that was comparable to the power of heaven and earth, his voice came from the water mirror.

Xie Fangwei said respectfully, "Disciple obeys."

At the same time, a voice came into Shi Xuan's ears, "Little Shi, Lao Dao said that he owes you a favor and he won't forget it."

…

Twelve years later.

"Martial Uncle Shi, the Sect Leader invites you to the Receiving Heaven Hall for a discussion." Cang Wu reported to Shi Xuan with a face full of joy. However, his joy had nothing to do with the Sect Leader. It was because he had successfully broken through to the Qi Gatherer a few days ago and had been like this for the past few days. Of course, this also meant that Shi Xuan needed to find two more Daoist children. Otherwise, he would have to personally handle the chores of Phecda Peak.

Shi Xuan said lightly, "What's the matter?"

"Martial Uncle Shi, I heard that Shen Xianyun from the Luofu Sect has achieved the Middle Grade Gold Core. He wants to discuss who will represent our sect to congratulate him." Cang Wu had already investigated the matter thoroughly.
