An azure trail was reflected in the Kun Peng's deep and sharp eyes. It spread its wings that spanned thousands of miles and flapped them with all its might!
There was no wind in the void, but the edges of its wings created ripples that distorted the dark void. In an instant, it became an existence like a gale. It followed the azure trail and disappeared into the endless void.
The river of stars spun and flew. In this endless void, even the Kun Peng was as insignificant as a ring. However, it was free and unfettered, like a fish returning to the ocean. If it was trapped in a small world, it would feel cramped even when it spread its wings. Even in the World of the Nine Provinces, it would not be able to travel to its heart's content.
Gu Yanying was completely immersed in the joy of flying.
Yes, this was what she had been searching for all this time. Endless freedom!
Only the azure trail was a kind of restraint. It often made her feel the urge to leave the track. She needed to exert all her mental strength to suppress this feeling.
The trail continued to extend, but the process was very slow. It was far from being able to keep up with the Kun Peng's speed.
Li Qingshan stood on the Kun Peng's back. He opened his eyes wide and focused his mind. Through the flowing river of stars, he continuously verified his deductions and made further progress.
However, he could not use the Ape Demon Absorption to prevent spiritual energy from dispersing. Thus, the efficiency of his deductions was naturally not high.
Fortunately, up until now, there had been no problems with the path he had deduced. It corresponded to all the stars, which made him heave a sigh of relief.
In the end, after some calculations, he decided to stop deducing. He only verified his deductions so that he could better accumulate spiritual energy and prepare for the next deduction.
On the other hand, Luo Hou and Xiao Ming were completely immersed in cultivation, spending every minute and every second. Every minute and every second seemed to be growing.
Li Qingshan was a little envious of their freedom. He preferred the feeling of having one's feet on the ground. Perhaps it was because he was too used to the nourishment of the power of the earth. Once he left the earth, he would feel empty.
"Stop!"
Luo Hou Xiaoming's voice suddenly sounded in Li Qingshan's mind. The Kun Peng retracted its wings and stopped in the void.
"What is it?" Li Qingshan asked.
"I want to go through the tribulation!"
As soon as Luo Hou Xiaoming finished speaking, a clap of thunder rang out in the void. A bolt of lightning tore through the darkness and shone into Li Qingshan's eyes. He sighed in his heart, "This Heavenly Tribulation is really everywhere!"
What was supposed to be a terrifying calamity now seemed very familiar. However, he felt that it was a little strange. Luo Hou Xiaoming must have gone through many heavenly tribulations in the past. How could he do it again? Even if a phoenix was reborn from nirvana, the heavenly tribulation it had transcended from the egg would not come again.
Luo Hou Xiaoming leaped up and faced the Heavenly Tribulation.
Not long after, he returned to the Roc's back. His body became thinner. Furthermore, he had grown a lot taller. He looked five or six years old again. The process of transcending the tribulation was nothing to write home about. It was as easy as eating and drinking. The tribulation lightning was in his hands. Just like a tamed puppy, it could only bite him gently a few times and leave some teeth marks.
"Let's go!"
Li Qingshan asked the question in his heart. Luo Hou Xiaoming smiled and said, "If I couldn't even deceive the Heavenly Tribulation, I would have been burned to death by the Karmic Fire."
Asuras were originally immortal and could be reborn continuously, let alone the Divine Son of Asura. As for the Karmic Fire, not to mention nirvana rebirth, even reincarnation would not be able to escape.
"Qingshan, you are going to undergo the tribulation soon, right?" Gu Yanying suddenly asked.
"Yes."
Li Qingshan nodded with a serious look on his face. Every cultivator dreamed of going through the tribulation. Every time he underwent the tribulation, he would be reborn from the cocoon. Not only would his power increase, but his nature would also change. He could go from a mortal to a deity.
However, he definitely could not undergo the fourth tribulation now, because it was beyond the limit of what the Nine Prefectures could accommodate.
The Nine Prefectures was not a small world. It would not be as gentle as confining power and misfortune. He had seen with his own eyes the scene when Qiong Qi's incarnation descended. It was truly like being struck by lightning. Strong winds and earth fire came together, and it would not stop until the invader was destroyed.
After balancing the four transformations of the ox, tiger, turtle, and phoenix, he was only one step away from the fourth tribulation. Now, he had activated the Ape Demon Transformation. Fortunately, the Ape Demon Transformation was only at the first level, so its power was very limited. It also broke the original balance and did not immediately attract the tribulation.
However, with the degree of compatibility between him and the Ape Demon Transformation, once he broke through the boundary of the small world, the following cultivation would not be too difficult.
He had gained a lot from the training in the small world.
First, he comprehended the power of the earth from the confinement of the world. Only the Ox Demon had this ability, so it naturally laid the foundation for breaking through the sixth level of the Ox Demon. He could even try to break through. Among all the transformations, the Ox Demon Transformation was not only the foundation, but also the most suitable for his temperament. Even the Ape Demon Transformation was inferior.
After several decades of fighting against the heavens, the tiger demon's fighting spirit had awakened a long time ago, constantly being tempered and tested. However, the Tiger Demon Transformation had always focused on explosive power. If he wanted to break through to the sixth layer of the tiger demon, he still needed a great battle as a fortuitous encounter.
After becoming a god of the world, observing everything in the world and comprehending the laws of the world would benefit the Spirit Turtle Transformation no less than the Ox Demon Transformation. In fact, it would even last longer. Both transformations just happened to focus on accumulation. Breaking through to the sixth layer of the Spirit Turtle Transformation was only a matter of time. Currently, devoting all his efforts to deriving the path of cultivation was also a form of cultivation.
Even with the "shortcoming" of the Phoenix Transformation, he experienced a rebirth of lust after going through the process of entering the world and emerging from it.
It could be said that all of the transformations were restless, wanting to push Li Qingshan to a higher realm of cultivation. If he could find a world comparable to or larger than the nine provinces, he could immediately undergo the fourth heavenly tribulation and become a Daemon Emperor.
"Don't worry, I'll suppress my strength. If it really doesn't work, I'll just undergo nirvanic rebirth again."
As soon as he returned to the nine provinces, he would undergo the tribulation immediately and ascend with Little Ann.
Even if he did not want to return to the nine provinces, space was definitely not a good place for undergoing the tribulation. Just the issue of spiritual energy dissipating would greatly affect the success rate of undergoing the tribulation. He was confident, but he was not arrogant enough to believe that undergoing the fourth heavenly tribulation would be as easy as Luo Hou Xiaoming undergoing the first heavenly tribulation.
The kun peng spread its wings and took off once more. Afterwards, it paused two more times so that Li Qingshan could calm down and deduce his next path. Although his connection with his mirror clone had indeed weakened, he could still control it with ease. It was as if he did not have to worry about losing contact at all. Everything went unexpectedly smoothly.
Li Qingshan had already begun planning what he would do after reuniting with Little Ann. He had to help the Banyan Tree King become a god of the world first, and then he would go to the Dragon province and kill the crown prince of Si Qing. Qiongzhi should be fine, and who knew how Ru Xin was doing …
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly sensed the power of the earth that he had not felt in a very long time. However, as far as the eye could see, the closest planet was over a million kilometers away.
Apart from worlds, was there land in the endless space as well?
The kun peng suddenly slowed down. The mountains blocked its path.
