Inside the ice cave, Shi Xuan opened his eyes, stood up slowly, and walked out. Wherever he passed, the ice walls, icicles, and stalagmites all dissipated, and the cold air that was so dense that it was almost solid entered the restriction.
Along the way, he spread out his immortal sense. Penglai Zhenren, the elders, and the disciples were all busy as usual and didn't notice anything. Whether it was the Deva's Blight, whether it came or passed, it was all in the body or Yuan Shen. Unless others saw it with their own eyes, they basically couldn't sense it. It wasn't as grand as the Heavenly Tribulation, where the fourth Heavenly Tribulation could be seen or felt within a million kilometers.
As Shi Xuan walked toward the Heaven Receiving Palace, he felt his natal spirit treasures, the Tai Chi painting and the second layer of the Yin Yang Twin Qi Bottle. As his Primordial Spirit and the Great Dao became more harmonious, the moment his body merged with his Primordial Spirit, they all turned solid and became a tribulation supreme spirit treasure.
"Congratulations on passing the first Deva's Blight, Master." Qing Suo and Zi Ying, who were originally nourishing in Shi Xuan's Yuan Shen, slowly raised their sword tips to congratulate him. They were both at the point of their Blight.
Among them, Zi Ying had improved by leaps and bounds after recovering his memories. After just two hundred years of nourishing by Shi Xuan, he had reached the level of compatibility with the Great Dao to refine the second layer of the Illusory Spirit Restriction. After that, in less than eight hundred years, he had also refined the Illusory Spirit Restriction to perfection. In another one or two hundred years, he was confident in triggering the first Deva's Blight. Zi Ying didn't want to delay, so he began to nourish it now.
As for Qing Suo, under Shi Xuan's nourishment, he was more and more confident in triggering the second Deva's Blight. He planned to nourish it for another five or six hundred years before triggering it ahead of time. It might be lazy, but it was still a flying sword spirit treasure. It couldn't hide its sharpness.
Shi Xuan smiled and said, "I have a lot of confidence in the first Heaven's Blight. If it wasn't for laying a solid foundation and accumulating for the next few blight tribulations, I could have gone through the tribulation three or four hundred years ago."
Although there was a time limit of ten thousand years pressing on his head, it was useless to be impatient, especially when it was the second most difficult of the Five Decays of the Heavens. However, once he passed through it, the third Decays of the Heavens, the Decays of the Primordial Spirit, would be relatively simple for him as the Lord Of Heaven of the orthodox Daoism. Therefore, the pressure should be turned into motivation, and not create an anxious and impatient state of mind. Otherwise, he would die in the Decays sooner or later.
"But in this way, lord, when you participate in the Void Temple's banquet, you most likely won't be able to defeat that Shi Jingren." Zi Ying had a deep impression of Shi Jingren's Minor Art of Destiny. Coupled with his master's great enmity, he could not help but ask worriedly. After all, there were only eighty-eight years until the Taixu Temple's Dharma Assembly. Not only would Shi Xuan not be able to cultivate all of his immortal arts, he would not even have enough time to refine the Tripartite Mystic Nirvanic Sword to the peak of Class 6.
Qingsuo eagerly said: "Lord, why don't I go through the tribulation in advance?!"
Shi Xuan laughed involuntarily: "Why bother? The Taixu Temple only fights and does not harm lives. Not to mention that there are so many peerless geniuses, it is very difficult to meet Shi Jingren. Even if I meet him, how could my many years of cultivation in the Heavenly Cycle Star Sword Technique be for nothing? Qingsuo, you don't need to take the risk. " Especially after obtaining the cultivation method of the Yin and Yang Dao Annihilation Sword, Shi Xuan comprehended a lot from it. He had some gains in balancing the power of the three Heavenly Cycle Star Formation, the same as Shen Yimo in the past.
Only then did Qingsuo and Zi Ying say no more and peacefully recuperate.
While talking, Shi Xuan walked to the Receiving Heaven Hall. The hall was empty, only the sect leader Ning Feng was meditating and cultivating.
Shi Xuan did not conceal his aura. Ning Feng sensed it and opened his eyes in disbelief: "True Monarch Shi, you have passed the first Heaven's Blight?" According to what he knew, ancestor Shi had only been in the first Heaven's Blight for fifty-one years! According to the records he had read, it was usually around two hundred years! Moreover, when he brought his disciple Ge Chenghui to visit True Monarch Shi half a year ago, he did not show any signs of ending his blight.
"It's just that I have accumulated a lot and enough secret techniques." Shi Xuan replied with a smile.
Ning Feng was one of the most promising Yin God Venerables in this generation, so he quickly calmed down and respectfully saluted: "Disciple congratulates ancestor on passing the first Heaven's Blight." He understood that this was because True Monarch Shi had great confidence in passing the Heaven's Blight. It only took fifty-one years for him to pass the Heaven's Blight before passing the Heaven's Blight. Moreover, it had only been one thousand and five hundred years since he became a Heaven's Blight. It was really respectable and admirable.
Shi Xuan gently nodded and was about to go to the Ends of the Earth Tower. In his immortal sense, Xu Zhenjun and Pan Zikai were in charge.
At this time, Ning Feng remembered something and hurriedly asked: "True Monarch Shi, do you want to spread the news that you have passed the first Heaven's Blight?"
"There's no need to do it on purpose. After a period of time, I will stabilize my Natal Spirit Treasure and preach once." In the current situation where the Lord Of Heaven was coming and going, and Penglai did not have a Three-tribulation Supreme Spirit Treasure to suppress it, Shi Xuan passing the Blight would make the sect more cohesive and give the disciples more confidence, so there was no need to hide it like before.
Ning Feng cupped his hands and said: "As you wish, True Monarch Shi."
After a pause, he said: "Thank you, True Monarch Shi, for teaching Chenghui and letting him get a pair of jade hooks."
"Haha, I have fate with him." Shi Xuan waved his hand, indicating that Ning Feng did not need to thank him. With one step, he arrived outside the Ends of the Earth Tower.
…
When Shi Xuan walked out of the ice cave, in the Ends of the Earth Tower, Xu Zhifei, who was teaching Pan Zikai, suddenly stopped. He raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of the Heaven Arrival Hall with a complicated gaze. There was nostalgia, yearning, pride, and emotion.
Pan Zikai was slow for a moment before he sensed it. He could not help but smile happily: "True Monarch Shi has passed the first Heaven's Blight!"
"Only 51 years, only 51 years." Xu Zhenjun said with self-mockery, surprise, and emotion: "Maybe our sect's Grotto-heaven can be opened by Shi Xuan."
"True Monarch Shi's cultivation speed is as fast as ever." Pan Zikai had heard all kinds of legends about Shi Xuan since he was young, so he was not surprised at all. Instead, he felt that it was natural.
While the two were talking, Shi Xuan walked up. Pan Zikai quickly stood up and bowed to Shi Xuan. "Disciple greets True Monarch Shi."
"I'm very happy that you can reach the Primordial Spirit." Shi Xuan nodded with a smile. As the person with the most hope to reach the Primordial Spirit in Penglai's thousands of years, Pan Zikai finally broke through the Hidden Latch of Life and Death 400 years ago when his life was about to end. He used the power of Shi Xuan, who was in the Blight Tribulation, to return from other worlds.
Pan Zikai said gratefully: "Thanks to you, True Monarch Shi, who taught me several times, I was able to find an opportunity in the confusion. Also, I only broke through when I was more than 1,100 years old, which is really embarrassing. Xiao Zhenzi of the Yingzhou Sect has already passed the second Heaven's Tribulation, and Qin Sheng of the Blood Demon Sect has also just passed the first Heaven's Tribulation." These two were people who were as famous as him in the past, but they were far ahead of him, which made Pan Zikai a little depressed.
"Zikai, you don't need to feel ashamed. As long as you can reach the Primordial Spirit, it will be a new beginning. Also, you just haven't found an opportunity yet, and your accumulation is far beyond what you need. Maybe in the future, you will be able to make great progress by leaps and bounds." Xu Zhenjun comforted him gently.
Shi Xuan nodded in agreement. He thought of something and said with a smile, "And Qin Sheng might be a little strange. I suspect that he has inherited the Taishi Heavenly Devil Book."
Although Qin Sheng was cautious and showed most of the spells and Taoist techniques of the Blood Demon Sect, there were a few times when he was in life-threatening danger. He used some strange and terrifying Devil's Way, which was seen by others and spread. Most cultivators, even Zhenren and True Monarchs, did not care about this. After all, the Blood Demon Sect was a branch of the Taishi Demon Sect, so it was reasonable that they had some Taoist spells of the other parts of the Taishi Heavenly Devil Book.
However, there was an old senior who was familiar with the cultivation methods of the Taishi Demon Sect who was still alive!
Currently, Granny Yu was traveling in other regions. Since they were far away from each other, it was quite troublesome for her to communicate with Shi Shuan across realms. However, she had never stopped contacting Shi Shuan. The last time they contacted was a few decades ago. Granny Yu had some guesses about the Supreme Spiritual Treasure that was lost in the cave of the Lower House of the Primal Beginning Devil Sect.
"There were only two Supreme Spiritual Treasures that could use the Taishi Heavenly Devil Qi, the source of all evils. One was the Taishi Illusory Magic Zither, which had reached the level of half-step Golden Immortal. If it was it, Meng Nishang and the others would not have been able to escape even if it had been suppressed for many years. The other was called the Evil Heavenly Devil Order, which was refined from a celestial device after the Taishi Demon Ancestor merged with the Tao. It had already gone through three Blight Tribulations."
Shi Xuan was a little confused about this, because it was too incredible for the Jinxian Daoist to refine a celestial device. Even the Five Elements Divine Light Shield would be a Supreme Spiritual Treasure once it was refined.
"Actually, it's easy to guess. It's either refined as a legacy of the sect's cultivation methods, or it's helpful for one's own cultivation, such as sublimation of the Tao Seed, fusion of the opposite Tao Seed, or resurrection." Lady Yu answered leisurely.
With Lady Yu around, how could the origin of these cultivation methods be hidden from Shi Xuan? However, considering that he might have the Evil Heavenly Devil Order secretly following him, and that he and the Blood Demon Sect had been keeping a low profile and not making enemies with Penglai and Guo Han, Shi Xuan had to put this matter aside for the time being. Moreover, Shi Xuan suspected that Xue He Laozu, another person who was familiar with the cultivation methods, should have found out and benefited from it. Otherwise, he would not have gone through the third Heaven's Tribulation so smoothly, even if he had a thorough understanding of his heart.
"The Taishi Heavenly Devil Book?!" Hearing Shi Xuan's words, Xu Zhenjun and Pan Zikai could not help but blurt out in shock. This was the Supreme Genuine Method of the Diabolism.
Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Even if it's a supreme true technique, they still need to be able to cultivate it. Moreover, our sect will also have a supreme true technique not long after, and it's even better than the Taishi Heavenly Devil Scripture. On the road of cultivation, there are endless enemies. Except for some enemies that cannot be avoided, there is no need to worry about this and that. In the end, it still depends on one's own cultivation. "
Pan Zikai did not understand, but Xu Zhenjun was very clear that Shi Xuan should be referring to the one that Chu Wan 'er cultivated. It seemed that Lady Yu was about to make up for the omissions.
Shi Xuan then said to Xu Zhenjun, "I haven't congratulated you yet, Xu Zhenjun, for crossing the third Heavenly Tribulation. You are only one step away from becoming a Celestial Being again."
True Lord Xu, the reincarnated almighty, had passed the third Heavenly Tribulation in less than a thousand years. He was also very confident in passing the fourth Heavenly Tribulation, as he needed less time to accumulate. After all, unlike Granny Yu, who needed to comprehend another Great Dao, she had just touched the essence of the Innate Great Dao of Destruction. She needed at least six or seven hundred years to be confident in passing the fourth Heavenly Tribulation. However, among the five Heavenly Blight tribulations, only the fifth Heaven's Blight could be considered dangerous and difficult for her.
"Then Lao Dao should also congratulate you, Shi Xuan, for crossing the first Heaven's Blight." Xu Zhenjun chuckled, then sighed slightly, "In this way, Shi Xuan, you are the first person to cross the first Heaven's Blight since Penglai opened the sect."
