At this time, Wan Jianfeng was still guarding outside the Hundred Herb Garden, unaware of what was happening inside.
The Hundred Herb Garden was a small world of its own, independent of the mortal realm. Ruan Yaozhu had also activated the 72 Marquises' formation to seal it completely. Even if there was a huge commotion inside, it would be hard for those outside to detect it.
The deadline of three days was approaching. Wan Jianfeng knew that he could not break through the Hundred Herb Garden with his own strength. However, Dai Mengfan must have already gone to Venerable Gui Hai to obtain the core authority of this small world.
The power of the formation did not originate from the formation itself. Instead, it depended on the terrain. As long as he controlled this small world, he would be able to take drastic measures. No formation would be able to operate. How could Ruan Yaozhu be a match for him?
At this time, a blue light flew over from the sea, but it was not Dai Mengfan.
"Who are you?"
"Shen Yu Shu greets Senior Martial Brother Wan."
…
Inside the Hundred Herb Garden, thunder rumbled and shook the entire small world. Strong winds swept the land, and countless withered leaves danced wildly in the sky. It was as if the end of the world had arrived.
The roiling black tribulation clouds pressed down, covering the stars and the moon. One could not even see their own fingers in front of them. Everything was submerged in darkness.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning illuminated everyone's face.
In that instant, light and shadow intertwined. It was abnormally bright, like a still oil painting.
Li Fengyuan was still staring at the withered bodhi tree, as if he did not notice what was happening behind him. No one knew what he was thinking.
Li Qingshan sat there without budging, like a statue of a god.
The nine-colored deer's gentle and moist eyes looked at Ruan Yaozhu with worry.
The sixth heavenly tribulation was extremely important to cultivators. It was the step to becoming an immortal. However, this step was also extremely difficult. There were very few cultivators who could successfully cross it.
Not only would the tribulation thunder become more and more violent, there would definitely be "tribulation thunder condensing weapons" appearing. Furthermore, when the Yang God transformed into the primordial spirit, there would definitely be inner demons causing trouble, which was the so-called "Five Yin Demons" of the Buddhist Sect.
"Tribulation thunder weapons" and "Five Yin Demons". One was an external enemy, and the other was an internal threat. They were both extremely terrifying existences.
Cultivators faced the threat of death during the tribulation, and they also harbored the desire to become immortals. They were originally worried about personal gains and losses, and it was difficult for their minds to calm down.
At this moment, Ruan Yaozhu's mind was in a mess. Her five yin organs were blazing, and the risk was much greater. Moreover, it might attract an even more terrifying Vexing Demon.
Once she lost control of her mind and suffered internal and external injuries, she would either suffer from Qi deviation, lose control of her magic power, break her Primordial Spirit, explode and die, or be killed on the spot by the tribulation thunder.
Nine-colored Deer Heart said, "Li Qingshan, oh, Li Qingshan, are you really going to kill Yao Zhu before you are satisfied?"
When the tribulation lightning was about to descend, Ruan Yaozhu stubbornly looked at Li Qingshan and didn't have the slightest intention to cross the tribulation. He would never accept such "kindness", nor would he forgive Li Qingshan's deception.
"I can't resist your power, but at least I can atone for my sins with death."
Li Qingshan seemed to have expected her reaction. He grabbed the nine-colored deer and said, "If you die, I will bury this silly deer with you!"
"You!" Ruan Yaozhu was shocked, "Let go of her! You bastard! "
"Yaozhu, save me!" Nine-colored Deer Heart was in pain, "I don't want to die! Ahhhh! It hurts! "It was as if Li Qingshan was going to squeeze her to death.
Li Qingshan curled his lips. He didn't use any strength at all. However, he still appreciated her acting skills. She was indeed a natural born deity. She was still very intelligent.
How could demonic beasts care about the laws of the human world? Nine-colored Deer Heart didn't care about Herb Garden or Nature Sect. She only cared about Ruan Yaozhu's safety.
"You are so despicable!" Ruan Yaozhu glared at Li Qingshan. She was really annoyed by Li Qingshan. She really wanted to slap him to death.
"You know, I always do what I say." Li Qingshan said.
"Then what you said to me, did you do it?" Ruan Yaozhu felt that she couldn't live or die.
Li Qingshan was speechless and sighed softly, "Yaozhu, are you willing to believe me one more time?"
Ruan Yaozhu was moved, but she didn't say anything. Finally, she rose into the sky and flew towards the tribulation clouds, "Qingshan, I beg you for one last thing."
"Speak."
"If I fail the tribulation, please let her go, okay?"
"Yaozhu!" Nine-colored Deer Heart's eyes were filled with tears, "You definitely won't fail. We will be together forever!"
"Okay, as long as you try your best to pass the tribulation, I won't touch a hair on her, no matter the result. However, if you have any thoughts of seeking death, you won't be able to escape my eyes. "
"I won't seek death. I want to become a Human Immortal and eliminate demons!" Ruan Yaozhu said hatefully.
"Okay!" Li Qingshan smiled. He didn't want to distract her anymore and put down Nine-colored Deer Heart.
At this moment, the power of the tribulation reached its peak. The tribulation lightning in the sky condensed into one point. Nine-colored Deer Heart exclaimed, "Tribulation lightning weapon!"
Li Qingshan wasn't a stranger to this scene, but he couldn't help but sigh, "That's it?"
As it turned out, the "Condensed Armament of Tribulation Lightning" was actually a small sword over a meter long. Although it shone brightly and possessed tremendous power, Li Qingshan had never seen such an intricate "Condensed Armament of Tribulation Lightning" before. He could not help but curse, "Damned heavens, why do all my tribulations consist of various large blades and axes?"
He had personally witnessed what "the heavens are unfair" meant. It was just like the imperial examinations in his previous life. The same subjects had different difficulties. With the same score, one could enter a different school.
Nine-colored Deer Heart sneered, "Hmph, don't you know?"
Li Qingshan smiled, "Of course I know. There are no gods three feet above my head, justice is only in the knife!"
He stared at the small sword formed by the "tribulation lightning weapon". His eyes became incomparably deep and distant, as if he had understood something.
In the past, he only regarded the tribulation as a natural phenomenon, saying some clichés like "those who go with it are ordinary, those who go against it are immortals".
However, the Great Way was natural, and who could go against it?
Could it be that the great river was also a test of the Heavenly Way for those who crossed it? If they went against it, they would successfully cross the river, but if they went with it, they would be washed away by the water and become drifters. That made some sense, but it was ultimately just the imagination of humans.
Now that he had become a god, trained his spirit to return to the void, and comprehended the laws of heaven and earth, he could feel many man-made traces in the tribulation. This was probably not a trial of the Heavenly Way at all!
The meaning contained in the "tribulation lightning weapon" was very familiar to him. Yes, it was very similar to Emperor Xi's thunderbolts. Although they were worlds apart in terms of "quantity," like a drop of water and the sea, they came from the same source in terms of "quality." It was indeed filled with the majesty of the Heavenly Way, because Emperor Xi was almost the embodiment of the Heavenly Way.
Since Emperor Wa had successfully mended the sky, Emperor Xi also belonged to the Heavenly Way.
Then who was it that set such a law and slaughtered all the cultivators in the world?
No matter who that person was? Obviously, they all favored Ruan Yaozhu's Way of Nature, so the power of the tribulation was much weaker.
Although the small sword formed by the "tribulation lightning weapon" was also flying in the sky, drawing a straight and bright trajectory in an attempt to kill Ruan Yaozhu, compared to what Li Qingshan was going through, it was simply a small test.
However, Ruan Yaozhu was still in danger. Obviously, she did not have the experience of dealing with the "tribulation lightning weapon," and her inner demons had begun to cause trouble.
