At noon, on the mountain behind Xiao Qiong Mount, there was an open space in the forest that had been selected for a few years.
Qiyuan Laodao held a horsetail whisk in his hand and stood in the wooden cage that was already very sturdy.
A few rays of treasure light floated around him. The brand-new blue silk Daoist robe on his body was a good defensive Dharma treasure. It also made Lao Dao look a few years younger.
He was about to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation, so it was inevitable that he would look a little solemn.
Wisps of indescribable aura swirled around Qi Yuan's body, and from time to time, a flower petal would float past the old Daoist's body before dissipating in the mountain breeze.
Qi Yuan's disciples were standing on the treetops a thousand feet away.
Lan Ling 'e looked at her master nervously, her slender fingers fiddling with a strand of black hair hanging in front of her.
In the past few years, Lingle's figure had grown a little. Her waist, which was tied with a belt, was slender, and her long tassel dress accentuated her delicate curves. She was flawless from afar and up close.
Compared to two years ago, her pretty face also had a trace of gentleness, but in the end, it was still mostly delicate and pretty.
On the treetops not far from Lan Ling 'e, Li Changshou was still dressed in an ordinary long robe. He held a bamboo slip in his left hand and a carving knife in his right. His spiritual sense shrouded his master's surroundings, and he observed the various signs of the Heavenly Tribulation.
There was nothing more to say.
What should be done had been done. Next, Master only needed to endure the first Heavenly Tribulation. After that, it was up to Master to decide when to use that 'precious medicine'.
Now, Li Changshou's first task was to observe and record the process of his master transcending the Heavenly Tribulation.
Because the Duxian Gate recruited disciples once every two hundred years, Li Changshou was stuck at the end of the previous generation's Immortal Ascension Wave after he joined.
Most of the disciples who were limited by their aptitude and power of understanding had already left the Duxian Gate and returned to their hometowns. In the last hundred years, the Duxian Gate had been training the new generation of disciples, and there were very few disciples from the previous generation who had become immortals.
This was the sixth time in a hundred years that Li Changshou had observed the Immortal Tribulation of a Qi Refinement cultivator. Moreover, it was rare for him to be so close to it and be able to record the entire process and analyze it in detail.
Hu –
A gust of wind blew in the forest. Qiyuan Laodao, who was in the wooden cage, looked up at the sky. Wisps of light appeared around him.
In the blink of an eye, these rays of light converged into a pillar of light that shot into the sky!
It's here, the omen before becoming an immortal!
Li Changshou held the carving knife and the bamboo slips in his hands and began to write at a very fast speed, recording down the details in detail.
The light beam lasted for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, and the weather above Xiao Qiong Mount changed!
Li Changshou could feel the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth gathering from all directions, hovering a thousand feet above his master's head. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into gray Tribulation Clouds.
At that moment, figures flew out from the various peaks under the Protective Mountain Array. They flew into the sky and looked at Xiao Qiong Mount …
A shining silver lightning spot appeared below the Tribulation Clouds, and tiny electric arcs appeared around Qiyuan Laodao.
Li Changshou pinched his fingers and calculated. Soon, he raised his head and sent a voice transmission to his master.
"Master, according to the area and thickness of the Tribulation Clouds, it should be a common Immortal Ascension Tribulation with five Heavenly Thunders."
Qiyuan Laodao frowned slightly. He had thought that it would be the weakest Heavenly Tribulation with three Heavenly Thunders. He did not expect that he would have to undergo five.
There were no more than nine Heavenly Tribulations. The common ones were four, five, or six Heavenly Thunders.
It was said that the Heavenly Dao would send Heavenly Tribulations of different powers according to the cultivator's talent and potential after becoming an Immortal.
The more Tribulation Lightning there was, the wider the cultivator's path to immortality would be, and the more potential he had, the more difficult it would be to pass the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
After sending the voice transmission, Li Changshou lowered his head and continued writing with his carving knife.
Rumble —
The Tribulation Clouds began to tremble continuously, and the lightning spot became more and more obvious. When the lightning spot reached a certain threshold, it immediately turned into a shining lightning pillar and smashed down on Qiyuan Laodao's head!
When the Heavenly Thunders appeared, even the heavens and earth lost their color!
The Heavenly Dao fluctuations that contained the laws of heaven and earth came crashing down along with the Tribulation Lightning!
However, the immortals and Qi Refinement cultivators who were observing the Tribulation Lightning were shocked to find that the Heavenly Tribulation, which could not be blocked by Dharma treasures, was completely "sucked" away by the wooden cage around Qiyuan Laodao!
Lightning flashed everywhere in the wooden cage, but Qiyuan Laodao stood inside unscathed. Apart from his long, grayish-white hair fluttering in the wind, there was no lightning surrounding him at all!
Lan Ling 'e immediately shouted excitedly, "Senior Brother! The Birdcage is working! "
Li Changshou was also beaming with joy. However, before he could smile, the obscure Dao fluctuations suddenly appeared, and the Faraday Cage, which was flashing with lightning, suddenly exploded …
Alright, the Heavenly Dao did not allow for trickery.
At least he had helped Master withstand the first Tribulation Lightning.
However, following that, Li Changshou discovered a problem — because Master did not face the Heavenly Tribulation head-on, there was no Immortal Qi around him.
The Faraday Cage had helped him avoid the first Tribulation Lightning, but it also correspondingly damaged the benefits of the person undergoing the Tribulation Lightning. There were gains and losses, that was common sense.
Fortunately, Master had not taken out the Immortal-Melting Pill and swallowed it. Otherwise, Li Changshou would have personally poisoned his master to death …
Above the Tribulation Clouds, an even larger lightning spot began to brew, and the power of the Heavenly Tribulation it contained was slightly more than before.
Qiyuan Laodao's expression became even more solemn. He channeled all the Dharmic powers in his body and slowly rose into the sky.
The Immortal Ascension Tribulation could only be resisted!
Crack!
Sizzle —
The second Heavenly Tribulation struck ferociously. The lightning pillars formed by the lightning bolts instantly engulfed Qi Yuan's body completely!
Li Changshou and Lan Ling 'e broke out in cold sweat. When the two of them saw their master withstand the lightning pillar for a moment before being pressed to the ground, Lan Ling' e shut her eyes tightly, not daring to look any further.
It was only when the sound of electricity disappeared and Lan Ling 'e heard her Senior Brother heave a sigh of relief that she dared to open her eyes and look.
Qiyuan Laodao sat up in the shallow pit on the ground in a sorry state. He turned his head to the side and spat out a mouthful of blood. He raised his head and swallowed a few elixirs before standing up again.
His Dharmic powers were still abundant, and a faint immortal glow was circling his body.
He had withstood the second Heavenly Tribulation Lightning.
Li Changshou stopped writing. His left hand retracted into his sleeve, pressing down on a paper doll and an elixir.
From the looks of it, his master still had to withstand the third Heavenly Tribulation, but he definitely would not be able to withstand the fourth.
If his master was struck by the third Heavenly Tribulation and could not move, he would have to feed his master the Immortal-Melting Pill in time.
An even larger lightning spot gathered in the Tribulation Cloud. Qiyuan Laodao gritted his teeth and stood up. He quickly conjured a seal with both hands and set up layers of Dharmic power barriers in front of him.
However, it was useless.
This time, there was a loud roar. It was as if there were thousands of soldiers and horses galloping in the Tribulation Cloud. A lightning pillar that was as thick as a millstone struck down with a murderous aura. It almost instantly destroyed the many barriers that Qi Yuan had set up and pressed Qi Yuan into the shallow pit. There was a series of crazy attacks …
Faced with the surging gale, Lan Ling 'e could not help but shout, "Master!"
However, her shout was soon engulfed by the sound of the wind.
Qi Yuan had barely withstood the third Heavenly Tribulation …
There was nothing he could do about it. The quantity and quality of the Heavenly Tribulation were determined according to his aptitude when he started cultivating. Later on, because his Dao foundation was injured, Qi Yuan could not reach the "strength" that he should have when he was at the ninth stage of the Dao Requital Realm.
Therefore, Qi Yuan was in such a sorry state when facing the Heavenly Tribulation. He could only barely withstand the third Heavenly Tribulation.
The Lightning Tribulation blasted a huge pit in the ground. Qi Yuan was lying at the bottom of the pit. Relying on his last bit of Dharma power, his body slowly floated up and stood under the Heavenly Tribulation. He raised his head to look at the even more terrifying and bigger Lightning Spot …
His body was drenched in blood, but his eyes were still determined!
Heaven's will, Heaven's will was so unfair!
However, I have no complaints towards you. The Great Dao revolves and the heaven and earth are in order. Everything is I's destiny. So what if I die!
However, there is only one thing!
I can't die pathetically on the ground with my disciples watching from the side. Even if their master is a useless piece of trash, even if their master can't protect the disciples from other peaks!
Then I must die standing!
I must have the spirit of a human Qi Practitioner!
I must also earn some face for Changshou and Ling'e. I must let them know that their master doesn't lack the determination to pursue the Dao!
Furthermore, I still have the precious medicine that my eldest disciple painstakingly prepared, which can help me survive the first Heavenly Tribulation!
Qiyuan Laodao took out the brocade box and took out the medicinal pellet. Without hesitation, he stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it.
Come on, Heavenly Dao!
Even if I knew that my struggle was futile, I still have to take the risk and see the last Lightning Tribulation!
Dying under the last Thunder Tribulation should not be too shameful, right …?
Within the lightning spot, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation was gathering crazily. The fourth Heavenly Tribulation was about to descend!
"Ah — —"
Qiyuan Laodao raised his head and roared angrily. His beard and hair were all standing on end.
"Cough!"
Lao Dao suddenly lowered his head and coughed. He spat out a mouthful of blood. He then looked down at himself in shock. His entire body was glowing with a bloody light.
What, what's going on?
Why did I start to melt?
Oh my Taiqing Lord, what's going on?
What did this sinful disciple give I … to eat …?
Above his head, the surging lightning spot suddenly stopped, and the Tribulation Cloud also stopped spinning.
The Heavenly Tribulation was like a middle-aged man who had high hopes for himself and wanted to show off in front of his lover. However, he suddenly realized that he was a middle-aged man who had overworked himself. Suddenly, there was no follow-up …
At the last moment, Qi Yuan turned to look at his eldest disciple, who was smiling.
Lao Dao's consciousness was quickly dissolved. He was like a snowman that had fallen into a furnace. He instantly melted!
His soul, body, and even his clothes had all turned into a pool of 'blood' and floated in the air …
The Tribulation Cloud trembled and turned into waves of pure spiritual energy that scattered in all directions. Rays of sunlight shone on Xiao Qiong Mount.
The people who were watching the ceremony were baffled. They stared at the place where Qi Yuan had melted and the pool of blood.
Suddenly, turbid air surged out from the ground. Three-colored immortal light fell from the clouds and entered the pool of blood.
The sound of stringed instruments came from somewhere. It was beautiful and pleasant to the ears.
The turbid air began to slowly gather, and the pool of blood slowly revealed the outline of a human figure.
Then, there was a series of crackling sounds. Qiyuan Laodao's figure appeared in the air again. In fact, the clothes that had been torn by the Heavenly Lightning were still on his body …
The blood-red light dissipated. Petals danced around Lao Dao's body. He was standing on a turbid auspicious cloud, and a lotus flower bloomed above his head. The lotus flower then fused with his body.
Qiyuan Laodao opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of fresh air. The aura in his body began to slowly surge.
This Immortal Ascension phenomenon was really shabby.
At that moment, Qiyuan Laodao had already understood something. He turned to look at Li Changshou. His eyes were filled with helplessness, but there were a few tears in them.
Let's not talk about master and disciple for now.
Qi Yuan's expression was complicated as he bowed to Li Changshou.
Li Changshou hurriedly put away the bamboo slips, carving knives, paper dolls, and pills. He bowed to his master and did not dare to get up for a long time.
There was also a commotion in the wind …
"It's Bing Jie! Bing Jie turns into a Turbid Immortal! "
"That's actually an Immortal-Melting Pill! Someone actually knows how to refine this pill? "
"Junior Brother Qi Yuan actually chose this path. Not bad, but it's also a way to survive."
"Turbid Immortals are actually no different from most immortals. It's not that easy to break through to Heaven Immortal. Most of us stop at the Perfected Immortal Realm."
