Chapter 169: Artifact Heavenly Tribulation

Qin Mansion, in the courtyard, sunlight fell. Qin Hong and Xiaobai squatted on the ground, looking at the newly mud-plastered earth stove.

Qin Hong spat out a wisp of cyan fire from her mouth, burning the earth stove into shape, and the two hugged each other excitedly.

Ever since Qin Jiang supported the Qin family, Qin Hong, who had always been in a repressed state, gradually released her nature, especially with Xiaobai as a guide, and she went further and further on the road of letting herself go.

In the pavilion, Xu Yanran was boiling tea comfortably.

"Elder Sister, Xiaobai, come over and drink some water," she called out.

Qin Hong waved her hand. "Got it, I'll finish these."

Xiaobai shook a pair of rabbit ears as a response.

Xu Yanran shook her head helplessly, pouring tea for herself, when suddenly a pair of palms gently stroked her shoulders, kneading slightly.

"You've worked hard, Madam."

Xu Yanran smiled slightly, leaning into Qin Jiang's arms. "You're back. Are you going out again in the next few days?"

Her voice trembled slightly, carrying hope.

Even she herself didn't know how it had become like this; the former her was also a strong woman who could lead a team to charge and stand on her own.

"In a few days, after taking over the position of Longevity Sect Master, I still have to go to the Imperial City," Qin Jiang said.

Xu Yanran nodded lightly and said nothing.

Qin Jiang laughed, took off the bronze ring from his finger, and put it on her.

"This is?" Xu Yanran looked at the ring on her finger; it was somewhat old and simple, but had an inexplicable charm, letting her know that this was not a mortal object.

"An Immortal Artifact," Qin Jiang laughed.

"Immortal Artifact?!" Xu Yanran opened her mouth in shock.

With her current strength and status, she was already qualified to know information about True Immortals.

That was an existence above countless people; the entire Great Xia had only one True Immortal, the Immortal Ancestor! As for Immortal Artifacts, within Great Xia, there were only three!

The bronze ring in her hand was the fourth!

Her breathing couldn't help but become rapid, and she immediately wanted to take off the ring. "No! You keep this ring for yourself! I can't use it at all!"

Qin Jiang raised his hand to press down Xu Yanran's hand. "Although this ring is an Immortal Artifact, it is very special. The power within it has been lost, and ordinary immortal power cannot replenish it; only faith power can. Now, it can only emit a barrier that resists a blow from a peak True God; for me, it's of no use."

"But..."

Before Xu Yanran could finish speaking, Qin Jiang hugged her directly. "No need to say more, it's settled."

This time, the Jinyu Pavilion Master and the other two raided the Prefecture City, and he was truly scared; if any accident happened, he would really regret it for the rest of his life.

He didn't want to wait until he had lost something to know how to cherish it.

Xu Yanran was silent for a moment and nodded slightly. "I know, Husband."

Qin Jiang laughed when he heard this, silently planting a golden light in Xu Yanran's body, and with a flick of his finger, two more golden lights instantly entered Qin Hong and Xiaobai's bodies.

These three golden lights all contained his power, although not as good as a clone, they were enough to contend with True God-level powerhouses for a period of time.

By then, as long as he was still within the territory of Great Xia, he could rush back within a quarter of an hour.

A few days later, Longevity Sect.

The inheritance ceremony for the Sect Master position was not very troublesome. After Qin Jiang received the Sect Master Golden Token from the Longevity Sect Master, the ceremony was considered complete.

Looking at the people in the Tongtian Hall... actually, there were less than ten people.

After all, the vast majority of the sect's disciples and elders had been sent out, and if Bai Qiuyue hadn't happened to catch up, she would have already returned to Nanlin City.

Qin Jiang looked at the Longevity Sect Master. "Senior Brother, have the materials for casting the Vajra Bell been prepared?"

The Longevity Sect Master nodded. "They have been prepared."

"Then without delay, let's recast the Vajra Bell today, and repair the City Protection Array by the way," Qin Jiang said. Several people came outside the Tongtian Hall, and the Longevity Sect Master waved his hand, and a piece of metal nearly ten meters high smashed onto the Tongtian Peak.

This metal was golden yellow all over, glowing with a slight cyan color, and there were tiny dark gold lines on the surface.

Qin Jiang probed his hand and summoned, his palms and fingers emitting golden light to envelop the metal block, releasing True God pressure, making everyone around feel a shocking impact.

A moment later, the golden light dyed the metal block into a translucent state, and then the metal block gradually melted, turning into a mass of golden liquid.

His fingertips moved slightly, and streaks of golden silk flew out, stirring the golden liquid, removing impurities, and at the same time leaving dazzling golden light spots in the golden liquid.

If one observed carefully, one could see that those golden light spots were not just simple light spots, but tiny golden runes.

Not long after, the volume of the golden liquid gradually shrank, forming a two-meter-high golden bell shape.

"Condense!"

Qin Jiang shouted, and a True Spirit divine shadow appeared behind him, a golden light flying from the center of his eyebrows to shine on the bell.

Instantly, a circle of golden light emerged from the top of the golden bell, slowly drooping toward the bottom.

Wherever it passed, golden sparks splashed on the surface of the bell, which was only roughly formed, and then it became exquisite, with Dao patterns appearing.

These Dao patterns contained Qin Jiang's understanding of the Vajra Indestructible Body. If there were prodigies, they could even directly comprehend the cultivation method of the Vajra Indestructible Body from them.

After about half an hour, the Vajra Bell was completely formed, and in terms of power, it was far beyond the original Vajra Bell.

The Longevity Sect Master's expression was gratified; with this bell, the Longevity Sect's inheritance would last for a long time.

Boom~ Rumble~~ The moment the Vajra Bell was completely formed, thick dark clouds gathered on the Tongtian Peak, and streaks of golden lightning rolled within, like tossing golden snakes.

"This... this is what?!"

"Such strong lightning fluctuations! I feel like I'm going to explode if I look at it again!"

Bai Qiuyue's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly shouted, "Those below the Seventh-Rank Secret Martial artist, don't look at those lightning bolts! The power contained in them can enter your body along your gaze!"

Her gaze looked straight at the tribulation cloud, and the power contained within it even made her feel terrified.

"Sect Master, this... this is what!" she looked at the Longevity Sect Master.

The Longevity Sect Master came back to his senses, memories in his eyes.

"This is the Artifact Heavenly Tribulation. Only when a true True Divine Artifact is born will this tribulation descend; it is both a blessing and a test."

I remember the last time I saw an Artifact Heavenly Tribulation was a thousand years ago; I didn't expect that a thousand years had passed in a flash.

Boom—! The huge golden lightning roared down like a roaring giant python, smashing fiercely onto the Vajra Bell. Tiny electric currents swept across the bell body, making the Dao patterns on the bell body more complex and profound.

Qin Jiang looked at the Dao patterns with some astonishment. The Dao patterns he had engraved on it could already be said to be True God peak-level Dao patterns.

Logically speaking, there should be no god-level Dao patterns more profound than the ones he engraved.

But now this kind of thing was actually happening before his eyes.

Boom—! Another lightning bolt drooped down like an inverted golden heavenly river, lasting for a full breath before dissipating.

Qin Jiang looked over, and the Dao patterns on the bell body were even more mysterious.

Without hesitation, his divine sense probed out, engraving these Dao patterns in his heart, and then performing deduction.

After about two hours, the Artifact Heavenly Tribulation gradually dissipated, and the Vajra Bell suspended in mid-air released dazzling golden light.

Qin Jiang also opened his eyes, endless golden lines flowing in the bottom of his eyes; that was a chain of laws formed by the gathering of Vajra runes.

Clenching his fist slightly, he was a bit puzzled. The realm of the Vajra Indestructible Body had indeed improved, but it didn't seem to have touched the so-called True Immortal realm.

"Junior Brother, please recast the City Protection Array."

The Longevity Sect Master's voice rang in his ears. He soared into the air, driving the Vajra Bell, releasing streaks of golden light toward all parts of the Prefecture City.

The Chinese medicine feels okay, it's just that the outside of my thigh still feels like it's being pulled and can't relax. It should be over the acute phase in two days.
