Chapter 173: Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation

Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation

The moon is full in the sky, the human god is all over the body, the sun and moon have their time, reversing Yin and Yang, Tai Yi has a monarch, in the heart scene, who can see, immeasurable...

That which supports the tip of an autumn hair and encompasses the Great Universe is Spirit. That which moves the Mother of the Primordial One and forms the shapes of all things is Qi. That which is the liquid of the original source and moistens the essence of the Eight Wilds is Essence. The blending of the Three Primes to return to life and turn away death, and the establishment of the One Pole to return to the root and restore the origin—this is the wonder of the Green Lord...

In her ears were noisy whispers, seemingly human voices, and also seemingly the babbling and light laughter of Heavenly Demons. Ruan Ci seemed to pass through a tunnel, falling constantly. In her consciousness, the scriptures of "Yin Jun Yi Huan Dan Ge Zhu" were constantly repeated, as if only in this way could she resist the whispers in her ears. After a while, fragments of "Qinghua Secret News" occasionally flashed by, singing lightly in her heart sea. There was also the mournful cry of a phoenix, lingering back and forth, circling around her body. The three merged into one, as if forming a protective force, helping her fall in this tunnel full of crises.

The scenery around her could not be sensed at all, only the constant nausea in her heart let Ruan Ci know that her divine sense was in a very dangerous situation. She did not have a single thought in her heart, only protecting her spiritual platform, not anxious at all, just regarding this falling time of unknown length as an insignificant mark on the time scale. Because there was no perception, there was no way to pass. No matter how long she fell, it was only an instant in her heart. As for the place where she fell, she followed fate and did not have the slightest worry or expectation.

The more this was the case, the clearer her heart lake gradually became. Invisibly, many insights came one after another, but there was no way to capture them. Ruan Ci did not know how long she had fallen, but finally, at one moment, her feet seemed to land on solid ground, but her body was still light, as if without the slightest weight. The scenery around her was also extremely unfamiliar. The ancient and unfamiliar base Dao rhyme still echoed, and she had actually returned to the old universe, arriving at the point in time when the Tai Yi Monarch brought her back.

The scenery ahead was still as scattered with flowers and trees, but there were vaguely many more pavilions and towers, and there were Heavenly Humans coming and going, all riding clouds and driving mist, looking like extraordinary people. Ruan Ci also vaguely felt that not far ahead, there were three very familiar and intimate Qi machines. One was the precious sword shining on the world, the second was a young cultivator sitting idly by the roadside at this moment, and the third was at the top of this world, high and unreachable, noble and unspeakable, exactly the aura of the Nirvana Dao Ancestor. It was just that she should be in her prime, with a grand and majestic momentum, far from being as faint and unfathomable as in Hengze Heaven.

So... this was the first and probably only time these three Dao Ancestors were in the same place in the old universe?

Ruan Ci spread her sleeves and looked at herself, but could not see her body, knowing that at this time she was only a divine sense or a ghost. Because of Dao rhyme, she could not exert any influence on the past of the old universe, so it was like non-existence and could only witness. Doubts also arose in her heart, and she secretly thought, "The Nirvana Dao Ancestor was in her prime at this time, and this should be the Eternal Dao City... which is the Langhuan Zhou Tian? In this way, the Tai Yi Monarch was also a cultivator of the Langhuan Zhou Tian? Then... then how did he attain the Dao in this universe?"

Langhuan Zhou Tian was once the inner landscape of the Nirvana Dao Ancestor, and the people born in it could naturally never betray the Nirvana Dao Ancestor. And as the Dao Ancestor annihilated and the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Ancestor opened up the new universe, it was said that the cultivators who stayed in the Langhuan Zhou Tian at that time would all be killed. Even if they didn't die, because the fortune was exhausted, their cultivation would be difficult to advance. Ruan Ci thought, "Probably the Tai Yi Monarch also traveled from other Great Heavens."

Although this was said, cultivators who could travel to the Dao Ancestor's inner landscape must have had a deep connection with him. Ruan Ci thought of this, suddenly frowned and secretly thought, "If so, then... what is the Donghua Sword doing here? At that time, the Green Lord had not yet given birth to spiritual wisdom, so someone must use it. Could it be that the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Ancestor is also here? Is this the Langhuan Zhou Tian? If it is, the relationship between the Yin-Yang Dao Ancestor and the Nirvana Dao Ancestor is actually so intimate that he can allow him to visit the Zhou Tian? How long before the Dao contention is this?"

Doubts in her heart were coming one after another. She only felt that two Qi machines had changed at the same time. The position of the Donghua Sword came toward Ruan Ci, and the aura of the Nirvana Dao Ancestor also suddenly manifested from the deepest part of the Zhou Tian to this place. However, she was completely unaware of Ruan Ci, just standing on the street, looking at a white-clothed youth negative sword coming from afar. Ruan Ci followed her gaze, her heart jumped, and she secretly thought, "This is the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Ancestor!"

The youth had delicate features and a unique style, but his cultivation was not eye-catching, only at the late stage of Golden Core. The Donghua Sword carried on his back already had Grotto-Heaven power. He walked to the street corner, his brows lifted, and he looked at the colorful girl transformed by the Nirvana Dao Ancestor for a long time before bowing and saying, "I have seen the Demon Ancestor."

In fact, he also said two names, but they fell into Ruan Ci's ears, and she could not distinguish them at all, just like the faces of the two Dao Ancestors. The Nirvana Dao Ancestor was in the same outfit as Ruan Ci saw in Hengze Heaven, but she had to see it again to remember it. I think after leaving this place, she would immediately forget the appearance and name, leaving only the title of Demon Ancestor.

"Demon Ancestor!" Ruan Ci was naturally shocked. After careful consideration, it was reasonable, so she nodded and sighed, "It seems that the Nirvana Dao Ancestor herself attained the Dao as a phoenix. Perhaps she is the first demon cultivator to attain the Dao in the universe. Calling her Demon Ancestor is naturally very appropriate."

A smile appeared on the Nirvana Dao Ancestor's face, beautiful beyond compare, and she happily smiled, "Is it still impossible to be a vessel cultivator?"

The youth shook his head, "In the previous life, I cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, but there was no way to continue, so I could only turn to another life, adding many more causalities."

It turned out that the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Ancestor also turned his cultivation at will before merging with the Dao? It seemed that he was even more intimate with the Nirvana Dao Ancestor. The Nirvana Dao Ancestor, with the dignity of a Dao Ancestor, actually came to meet him in person. Ruan Ci was extremely surprised in her heart, and she did not know what happened later that made the two hate each other like enemies, and the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Ancestor had to take the Nirvana Dao Ancestor with him even when he left the old universe, making her wander in the void of the void until she came, and then she returned to the present world.

Her thoughts could naturally not be sensed by others. The two were still talking, their attitudes were casual and intimate, and Ruan Ci could not tell what their relationship was, whether they were friends who had known each other for a long time, or Dao companions who had set their love for three lives. But the youth, with Golden Core cultivation, felt somewhat like an equal to the Dao Ancestor. From their words, it could be known that the youth wanted to attain the Dao as a vessel cultivator, but every time he encountered a threshold in Grotto-Heaven cultivation, he could only turn to another life and start over. Even with his endowment, if he changed to the path of true cultivation, I don't know how many times easier it would be, but he remained unmoved, wholeheartedly wanting to push the vessel cultivation method to the step of merging with the Dao. At this time, he and Nirvana repeatedly deliberated, but he talked more, and Nirvana talked less, which made it seem that the Nirvana Dao Ancestor was not proficient in vessel cultivation, which also made Ruan Ci very puzzled.

But these two would naturally not answer her doubts. One asked and one answered, all talking about the essence of vessel cultivation, which could not arouse any interest in Ruan Ci, because it was all the principles of the old universe, and both of them were not attained by spiritual vessel. The cultivation method written by the Green Lord by reversing his own Great Dao like "Qinghua Transcendence Record" did not know how much more brilliant it was than what the two talked about. Ruan Ci listened for a while, and could not help but think, "It can be seen that different lines of work are like mountains apart. How amazing the Yin-Yang Dao Ancestor is, and how magical the Nirvana Dao Ancestor is, but what they said is really not as good as "Qinghua Secret News". It seems that in the end, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Ancestor still gave up vessel cultivation to merge with the Dao and took the path of true cultivation."

Just thinking of this, the Nirvana Dao Ancestor seemed to feel that such deliberation really had no progress, shook her head and said, "You also know in your heart that this will not work. Fortune has gradually been lost, and causality is more complex. If this continues, I fear you will miss even the opportunity to merge with the Dao."

The youth frowned, "I also have a feeling in my heart, but you also know that merging with the Dao as a miscellaneous cultivator is the method I set in my heart. Once the law is completed and the loopholes in the laws are filled, the feedback I get will be unprecedented. At that time, I will definitely be able to use the momentum to help you achieve the second Dao and break through the barrier that only humans can merge with the second Dao."

These two talked about the youth merging with the Dao as if it were as simple as eating Chinese cabbage. The opportunity to merge with the Dao that others feared missing, in the youth's place, could be delayed again and again for the sake of his heart's wish. And what the youth sought was not just merging with the Dao, but also helping the Nirvana Dao Ancestor merge with the second Dao as a demon cultivator. Such courage was worthy of being the future Eternal Dao Lord. Ruan Ci was already reluctant to leave, but the two seemed to have lost interest in talking. Nirvana reached out, pulled out the Donghua Sword, looked at it carefully for a while, shook her head and said, "You have refined this sword better than the previous life, but there are still deficiencies. Time is not enough, it is going to be too late."

The sword body reflected a golden light in the sun, shaking casually, stinging the eyes of a young cultivator under the city wall. He rubbed his eyes. Ruan Ci looked back and it was the Tai Yi Monarch. A wonderful feeling arose in her heart. She secretly thought, "The Nirvana Dao Ancestor just said that time is not enough, and this golden light shook the eyes of the Dao Ancestor of Time. In the dark, it is really its own causality."

Just thinking like this, the two had already noticed that the Donghua Sword had accidentally injured others, and they could not help but look at each other and smile. The Yin-Yang Dao Ancestor waved his hand casually, and Tai Yi suddenly felt a coolness in his eyes. He put down his hand and looked at the two, hesitating, "Thank you, senior. The magic treasure carried on the body is so sharp that even a trace of sword light can hurt people. Senior... what is your cultivation? I actually can't see it?"

The Yin-Yang Dao Ancestor smiled, "I am only at the late stage of Golden Core, but this sword has its own wonders. It accidentally injured little brother. I have some compensation here, little brother can choose for himself."

He reached out and waved, and several cultivation techniques, classics, spiritual jade, and precious materials unfolded before Tai Yi, all shrouded in precious light, for him to choose. Tai Yi could not believe it, stared left and right for a while, before choosing a cultivation technique and smiling, "Thank you, senior. Little boy has obtained this cultivation technique and will definitely cultivate it well. I only hope that one day I can reach the realm of senior, which will not be in vain for senior's painstaking efforts to carry the younger generation."

Yin-Yang and Nirvana could not help but look at each other and smile again. Nirvana smiled, "Good child, you can have this opportunity, so why fear thinking bigger?"

Saying that, she flicked her hand, manifested the momentum of the Dao Ancestor's true body, rolled up the Yin-Yang Dao Ancestor, and flew toward the edge of the sky. The youth opened his mouth wide, looking up at the sky, and it took half a day to come back to his senses. However, his temperament was not set, and he was very excited for a while, before flattening the classics in his hand and looking at them intently.

In fact, in the old universe, whether it was language or writing, Ruan Ci could not learn it. But in this experience, it was as if she understood it naturally. Looking at it with both eyes, she saw the seven big characters "Yin Jun Yi Huan Dan Ge Zhu" on the cover. Her heart shook slightly. In the next moment, the world turned around, as if crossing the universe with this scripture, passing through infinite years, breaking through countless nodes. The surrounding scenery was wild and beautiful, constantly changing, and the vicissitudes of life were only in an instant. Finally, I don't know how many twists and turns it had gone through. Although time was immeasurable, this book seemed to have never changed its place, and it was lying in the old paper of the classics, being picked up casually by a small hand.

"Yin Jun Yi Huan Dan Ge Zhu, this song is the true solution for thought cultivation... thought cultivation?"

The young girl with drooping hair tilted her head and doubted, "This is the first time I have seen this. What is thought cultivation?"

At this moment, fortune rolled, causality met, Dao rhyme steamed, and thunder exploded in the sky. Dark clouds rolled, thunder rumbled, one after another, and lightning struck above the altar city, actually seeming to want to strike down the altar city floating in the air, scaring the cultivators on the city wall to open the great formation, and even the Heavenly Boat moved its limbs, swimming comfortably in the thunder power. Ruan Ci stood in the air, looking down at the sweet girl, and for a moment, she actually had a feeling of what day it was today. She only felt that the thunder shook the earth, the urgent rain turned the basin, the purple electricity burned the sky, and the black wind reversed the waves. In an instant, she was already in the ocean of thunder and lightning. One after another, green thunder struck down, making her soul painful and unbearable. Although it did not strike away her divine sense, she also had a faint feeling of being unable to bear it. In her heart, there was a faint realization: although the cultivators of this universe did not have the saying of Heavenly Tribulation when merging with the Dao, this was only for ordinary cultivators. Ruan Ci's heart moved, and she had already seen her twelve jade stairs naturally formed, and the Golden Core in the dew-catching plate was crystal clear like the sun, shining with white light, like a solid body. Fortune, causality, and Dao rhyme were condensed into three tiers, and the Dao Foundation Twelve was complete!

Having refined the Dao Foundation Twelve, she was a future Dao Ancestor, and had mysteries that ordinary cultivators could not understand, so she naturally had to bear the tribulation that ordinary cultivators could be spared.

Heavenly Jealousy of Merging with the Dao!

This was her Heavenly Tribulation!
