Chapter 203: Haiyuan Heavenly Tribulation

~9 min read 1,703 words

Ao Yun's face changed slightly when he heard the four words "Central Origin Continent", and he operated his dragon essence to dispel the wine Qi.

After a moment of silence, a look of recollection appeared on his face.

"I know, I've been there. It's a vast continent with existences at the quasi-Immortal King level. How do you plan to go there, by the sea abyss or the heaven abyss?"

Qin Jiang was stunned, "Heaven abyss? What kind of place is the heaven abyss?"

"Let me think, now it should be called the Heaven-Severing Abyss. Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, Huangtian Shenmu descended here in her true body.

Later, the first-generation Renhuang back then swung a sword on Daheishan, cutting off Huangtian Shenmu's heavenly heart and severing the connection between the underworld and the human world, but he also sat down at Daheishan because of this," Ao Yun explained.

"Difu? Does the underworld really exist in this world?" Qin Jiang was somewhat surprised.

This kind of legendary thing, he only heard about it in his previous life, and this was the first time he heard this name after coming to this world.

Moreover, it actually had something to do with Huangtian Shenmu.

When he heard from Ao Yun back then that Huangtian Shenmu destroyed the Ancient Yu Kingdom, he knew that this was probably an extremely ancient and powerful existence.

And now, not only ancient and powerful, but even related to the legendary underworld.

"Of course, after becoming a great demon, the soul will approach materialization; if there were no underworld, this world would have been flooded with ghosts long ago.

However, the area we are in is quite special, and the connection between the underworld and the human world has been severed, so after tens of thousands of years, almost no one knows about the existence of the underworld.

I also learned about the existence of the underworld by chance from the inherited memory of my clan, and later went to the Central Origin Continent, and then confirmed the existence of the underworld after seeing Huangtian Shenmu's projection body with my own eyes," Ao Yun said.

"So that's it." Qin Jiang lowered his head slightly; his understanding of this world was still too shallow.

"Then if I go to the Central Origin Continent, is it better to go by the sea abyss or the heaven abyss?"

He asked, Ao Yun had been to the Central Origin Continent personally, and his experience was much richer than his.

Ao Yun pondered for a moment, "It depends on yourself. There is more than one channel for the sea abyss, all of which exist naturally. The channel mastered by my dragon race might not exist now.

Moreover, no matter which sea abyss channel you take, when you arrive at the exit, a heavenly tribulation will descend, and even an End Realm True Immortal will be severely injured."

Speaking of this, his face became somewhat lonely, and he sighed.

"Back then, I also relied on merging with the ancestor's remains to pass through."

Qin Jiang frowned upon hearing this; he didn't expect that even if he took the sea abyss channel, it would still be so difficult.

If even an End Realm True Immortal would be severely injured, then he might not necessarily be any better.

"What about the heaven abyss?" he asked.

Ao Yun pondered for a moment, "The heaven abyss is slightly better; it is the sword Qi left by that Renhuang when he severed the underworld and the human world back then, forcibly connecting the connection with the Central Origin Continent.

Therefore, if you take the heaven abyss, you will be baptized by the Renhuang's sword Qi.

After I came back back then, I went there once, and with my strength as an initial-stage End Realm back then, I only walked less than a third before being forced back by the sword Qi.

However, if you burn immortal blood, you should have a chance to rush over.

With your strength comparable to a middle-stage True Immortal, if you take the heaven abyss, I have a secret treasure that can help you.

But if it's the sea abyss, then you have to gamble on some luck; although a middle-stage True Immortal is not absolutely unable to travel, severe injury is almost inevitable, because even a forbidden immortal weapon cannot block the heavenly tribulation."

In comparison, if a middle-stage True Immortal were to travel the heaven abyss, it would be almost impossible to resist that omnipresent sword Qi.

However, he obtained a forbidden immortal weapon in the Central Origin Continent back then, sufficient to block the attack of an End Realm True Immortal.

But if it's the sea abyss, then you have to gamble on some luck; although a middle-stage True Immortal is not absolutely unable to travel, severe injury is almost inevitable, because even a forbidden immortal weapon cannot block the heavenly tribulation.

Qin Jiang frowned upon hearing this, "Is there no object similar to the Sea-Evading Boat?"

"Sea-Evading Boat? You mean that kind of special immortal weapon that travels the sea abyss; there is no way to use it without the corresponding permission. Back then when I was in the Central Origin Continent... uh, anyway, there is no such thing anymore."

Speaking of this, Ao Yun's face twitched slightly, remembering the days when he was chased by those Immortal Monarchs and Holy Lords back then.

If it weren't for running fast enough, and the dragon race being relatively resistant to beating, he would probably have been caught and used as some kind of guardian immortal spirit.

Qin Jiang nodded; he couldn't take the heaven abyss; if the coordinates of the heaven abyss and the sea abyss entering the Central Origin Continent were too different, it would be troublesome.

Therefore, he could only take the sea abyss, and it could only be the channel left by Jiang Yun.

"Senior, is there anything I need to pay attention to regarding the heavenly tribulation?"

Ao Yun thought about it upon hearing this, "There are four types of heavenly tribulation, wind tribulation, fire tribulation, heart tribulation, and thunder tribulation; there is no means to block them, you can only resist them yourself.

Actually, this can also be considered a kind of tempering; if you pass it, there are many benefits. Back then, I also completely refined the ancestor's remains in the fire tribulation.

The wind tribulation targets the soul; if the soul is not condensed enough, it will immediately fly away! The fire tribulation targets the physical body, burning your body; if you can hold on, it is fire refining the true body, if you can't hold on, you will turn into flying ash!

The heart tribulation targets the heart and will, and various illusions will appear, shaking your Dao heart; if the Dao heart is unstable, it is possible to sink into the illusions.

When I crossed the sea abyss back then, I had seen the remains of several ancient immortals of my dragon race at the end of the sea abyss.

As for the final thunder tribulation, there has never been a practical record in the history of my dragon race of which ancestor encountered it.

There is only one sentence about the thunder tribulation, and that is that anyone who can cross the thunder tribulation means that their cultivation at the current stage has reached a perfect and flawless point."

Speaking of this, Ao Yun couldn't help but feel emotional; back then, as the peerless prodigy of the dragon race for tens of thousands of years, he thought he had reached a perfect and flawless point.

Until he faced the fire tribulation of the sea abyss, he discovered how fragile his proud dragon body was.

Perhaps, his later condensation of the demonic dragon body also had something to do with this experience.

Qin Jiang's face changed slightly upon hearing this; if so, then what he would likely face would be the wind tribulation.

After achieving the Fearless Heart back then, he forged an invincible Dao heart on the Huai Kingdom battlefield, and later realized the Dominator Heart while fighting the thirteen immortals alone.

In terms of heart and will alone, I am afraid no one in Shenzhou has a firmer Dao heart than him.

As for the physical body, it goes without saying.

The only deficiency is the soul; he is ultimately a True God, his divine soul has not yet transformed into an immortal soul, and he split part of his True Spirit when he sent Xu Yanran away before; strictly speaking, he is actually a person with an incomplete soul.

"Senior, will this heavenly tribulation track karma to destroy the person crossing the tribulation?" he asked.

"That's not the case; back then I used the method of splitting spirits, and with this, I resisted several fatal blows.

In my opinion, this heavenly tribulation is actually similar to some kind of test; if you pass it, you will benefit a lot; if you don't pass it, except for the heart tribulation, it is not necessarily a situation of certain death," Ao Yun said.

Qin Jiang felt relieved; if so, then he would separate some True Spirit flesh and blood to resist the tribulation.

"Thank you, Senior, for clearing up my doubts."

"You're welcome, you saved my life, what does this count for? However, you still have to be more careful and keep some life-saving means. Otherwise, with your strength comparable to a middle-stage True Immortal, the chance is really not great," Ao Yun said.

Back then, he was a half-step End Realm, and the dragon race is one of the best in the same realm; at that time, he was definitely the number one dragon beneath the End Realm.

But even so, he relied on the dragon race's foundation to cross the fire tribulation.

"I understand. However, Senior doesn't need to worry too much. With my current strength, except for a slight lack in the power of time, perhaps I am no weaker than an End Realm True Immortal," Qin Jiang smiled.

Ao Yun was stunned upon hearing this, "What did you say?"
