Nine Tribulations, Three Disasters
Soon, the middle-aged man withdrew his Divine Sense with a regretful expression on his face that he had gained nothing.
This man's cultivation level was very high, much higher than Second Elder's.
Even though Qin Shaofeng did not check his cultivation level, Qin Shaofeng estimated that he was at least a Middle Celestial Level Five or Six, or even higher.
This was because Fang Zhengzhi's aura was not far off from that of Fearless.
Clearly, this was another expert that Hidden Heaven Sect had sent out during this period of time.
At this time, the middle-aged man's attention was no longer on Qin Shaofeng. Instead, he looked at the storage ring in his hand and frowned. "Then what's going on? Why are the Spirit Dragon Pearls in these Spirit Dragons gone? "
The moment he opened his mouth, he was saying that the missing Spirit Dragon Pearls had nothing to do with Qin Shaofeng.
Second Elder and the rest retracted their consciousness as well, their faces full of confusion.
At this time, Liu Yizhou, who saw that the atmosphere was finally relaxed, suddenly interrupted: "Could it be that Zhou Futong used it?"
Eh?
Liu Yizhou's words stunned the middle-aged man and Second Elder, and they fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Qin Shaofeng spoke again. "I think that's very possible!"
"Oh, why do you think that's possible?" The middle-aged man said. "According to what you said, Zhou Futong triggered his own Heaven's Tribulation when you guys entered the Spirit Dragon Space together and faced the Spirit Dragons' ambush!"
"Perhaps you guys don't know that Zhou Futong can trigger Heaven's Tribulation. Actually, we've known about this for a long time. And for him to suddenly reach Lesser Celestial Level Three or Four, he didn't need the help of the Spirit Dragon Pearls because we, Hidden Heaven Sect, had already prepared it for him!"
As the middle-aged man spoke, he directly voiced out Qin Shaofeng's guess.
Hidden Heaven Sect had indeed prepared a method to allow Zhou Futong and the other four Tribulation Realm experts to break through to Lesser Celestial Level.
Although he still didn't know exactly what sort of method it was, he still didn't know.
However, this gave Qin Shaofeng an excuse and reason.
Qin Shaofeng raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man. He said, "I believe that you should also know that my situation is a bit special. Generally speaking, my Divine Sense is slightly powerful!"
Slightly?
The middle-aged man was speechless. This was more than just slightly powerful.
In his eyes, Qin Shaofeng was at most a Transformed Void cultivation base. But in terms of Spirit Qi cultivation base, he was already close to a lesser celestial.
And what was even more unbelievable was that he could sense that Qin Shaofeng's consciousness had already reached the lesser celestial level.
Of course, all of this was attributed to the miraculous aspects of the Alchemy Treasured Tome. At the same time, the more he touched the Alchemy Treasured Tome, the more he coveted it.
At this moment, he naturally nodded subconsciously at Qin Shaofeng's words.
Seeing this, Qin Shaofeng continued, "It's good that you believe me, sir. However, I'll be frank with you. When I met Zhou Futong previously, I could feel that he was at least a Lesser Celestial Level 5 or 6. Furthermore … "
After a slight pause, Qin Shaofeng said something that everyone seemed to have subconsciously overlooked, or rather, did not pay attention to.
"Everyone seems to have forgotten that when Zhou Futong appeared again, he was not alone. The people who traveled with him were all Tribulation Realm experts from the various powers."
"When they appeared again, they were all Lesser Celestial Realm cultivators. Their cultivation bases were at least Lesser Celestial Level 3. Although I did not see the other four Tribulation Realm cultivators of our Hidden Sky Sect, I have reason to believe that they had all reached the Lesser Celestial Realm. It's just that they had all fallen."
Qin Shaofeng said calmly. However, the middle-aged man and the Second Elder's faces were getting uglier and uglier. This was because they seemed to have thought of a very bad possibility.
However, Qin Shaofeng had no intention of stopping.
"Most importantly, according to Wu Yunzi and the other factions, it seems that half a month ago, Zhou Futong brought along a Lesser Celestial expert from the Hidden Sky Sect to look for the Tribulation Realm experts from all the factions."
"After that, Zhou Futong brought these experts and left one after another. If we count carefully, there were twelve or thirteen Tribulation Realm experts! "Qin Shaofeng said.
After this, Liu Yizhou, Chen Feng and the rest played a role again.
"Yes, after hearing what Junior Brother Qin said, I suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a thing!" Liu Yizhou said suddenly.
Chen Feng and the rest nodded their heads.
"Yes, that Wu Yunzi told us before!"
"And that Big Dipper Sect disciple also said that their Tribulation Realm expert also left with Zhou Futong."
"The two Tribulation Realm experts from Xuan Hai Sect and Shuiyue Pavilion also left with Zhou Futong. In the end, among the eight Lesser Celestial experts with Zhou Futong, two of them were the Tribulation Realm experts from Xuan Hai Sect and Shuiyue Pavilion!"
"Yes, there really is such a thing!"
"Yes, I remember too!"
"..."
Liu Yizhou and other disciples nodded their heads at the moment, and they were completely sure.
However, this caused the middle-aged man and the Second Elder's faces to turn uglier.
The four of them looked at each other and finally let Liu Yizhou and the rest leave. They also let Qin Shaofeng leave.
Obviously, they already understood everything. Qin Shaofeng, Liu Yizhou and the rest did not need to ask any more questions.
Furthermore, there were more important things that they needed to pay attention to.
After Qin Shaofeng and the rest left, the Second Elder said with a gloomy face, "Looks like those Spirit Dragon Pearls were used by Zhou Futong!"
"Heh, I think not only did that bastard use them, but he also used some methods that he couldn't use!"
There was a cold chuckle. It was the Tenth Elder's strange tone.
Then, the Third Elder also spoke.
"This should be because Zhou Futong exposed the benefits of the Spirit Dragon Clan. He even took the initiative to help the Tribulation Realm experts of other factions!"
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold. The four of them had grave expressions.
Because only they knew how great a loss Zhou Futong's actions would be to the Hidden Sky Sect.
At this moment, the four of them no longer cared about what happened to Qin Shaofeng and the rest. Zhou Futong's situation was the most serious.
After a while, the Second Elder seemed to have thought of something and spoke with an ugly expression.
"From the description of Qin Shaofeng and Liu Yizhou, I'm afraid that Zhou Futong has really done something very serious. Moreover, according to Liu Yizhou and the others, when facing the ambush of the Spirit Dragon Clan at the beginning, Qin Shaofeng killed a Spirit Dragon Clan of the late stage of Void Return."
The Second Elder's words caused the Third Elder and the Tenth Elder's expressions to turn even uglier. Even the middle-aged man's face showed a trace of anger.
His anger was not directed at Qin Shaofeng.
Furthermore, he did not seem to be surprised that Qin Shaofeng could kill a Spirit Dragon Clan expert of the Spirit Dragon Clan.
In fact, he could sense that Qin Shaofeng's Spirit Qi was close to that of a Lesser Celestial, as well as Qin Shaofeng's consciousness. Then, he thought of Qin Shaofeng's Flying Feather Saber.
He did not think that Qin Shaofeng killing a Spirit Dragon Clan expert of the Spirit Dragon Clan was something unbelievable.
Although it was still shocking, he could barely accept it.
However, the problem was that the corpse of the Spirit Dragon Clan expert of the Spirit Dragon Clan that Qin Shaofeng had killed was not among these Spirit Dragon Clan corpses!
It could only be used!
At the thought of this possibility, the middle-aged man and the Second Elder's expressions turned even uglier.
Qin Shaofeng and the rest did not know that the small piece of Spirit Dragon Clan flesh that they had brought with them had been discovered by the upper echelons of the Hidden Heaven Sect.
The flesh of the Spirit Dragon Clan seemed to contain some kind of special power.
If this kind of special power was refined, it could unleash a very powerful and shocking effect.
That was the Heavenly Tribulation!
After some research, the Hidden Heaven Sect developed a special pill that was refined from the flesh of the Spirit Dragon Clan — the Tribulation Pill!
Among cultivators, there were some pills that could help them break through each realm.
For example, there were Spirit Congealing Pills for the Spirit Transformation Realm, Spirit Congealing Pills for the Spirit Transformation Realm, and so on. Qin Shaofeng had refined these pills before.
There were also such pills for the Spirit Refining Pill, Spirit Dissolving Pill, and Tribulation Pill for the Return to Void Realm!
However, the Tribulation Pill was the only one that was not available!
This was because regardless of whether a cultivator wanted to break through to the Lesser Celestial Realm from the Return to Void Realm or the Tribulation Realm, they had to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation.
Even after successfully overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation and becoming a Lesser Celestial Realm cultivator, one would not be completely cut off from the Heavenly Tribulation. It could even be said that after entering the Dao Integration Stage, one would be completely entangled with the Heavenly Tribulation.
The ninth stage of the Dao Integration Stage was also known as the Nine Tribulations and Three Disasters of the Dao Integration Stage!
After overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation, one would become a Lesser Celestial Realm cultivator!
However, if one wanted to break through to the Middle Celestial Realm, one would also need to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation.
Therefore, the ninth stage of the Dao Integration Stage meant that one would need to undergo nine Heavenly Tribulations!
However, under normal circumstances, the difficulty of undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation from the Lesser Celestial Realm to the Middle Celestial Realm was not too difficult. In fact, it was much easier than ascending from the Tribulation Realm to the Lesser Celestial Realm.
As long as one had sufficient resources, there was almost no chance of failure. The success rate was more than 90%.
Of course, even so, there was still a certain chance of failure.
Furthermore, the higher one's cultivation level, the lower the success rate. When one reached the Utmost Celestial Realm, the difficulty of undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation to become a Dao Lord was even lower.
These were the Three Disasters of the Nine Tribulations!
The Three Disasters referred to the three most difficult Heavenly Tribulations of the Nine Levels!
For many Utmost Celestial Realm cultivators, the Three Disasters of the Heavenly Tribulations were akin to catastrophes!
Basically, no matter how prepared an Utmost Celestial Realm cultivator was, the success rate of undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation to become a Dao Lord was only about 30%. At most, it would be 50%.
At the most crucial moment, it depended on the cultivator's ability and luck.
Not to mention the Three Disasters of the Heavenly Tribulations, even when one's cultivation level reached the Greater Celestial Realm and ascended to the Xuan Celestial Realm, there was already a huge risk involved.
Therefore, an ancient faction of the Spirit World might have many Dao Integration Stage cultivators. However, most of them would only be Lesser Celestial or Middle Celestial Realm cultivators.
In fact, even Greater Celestial Realm cultivators would be relatively few in number.
Once a cultivator reached the Dao Integration Stage, their soul would fuse with the Spirit World Secret Realm, allowing them to have an extremely long lifespan.
Therefore, many cultivators would not attempt the Heavenly Tribulations unless they reached the end of their lifespans!
