Chapter 657: Fifteen Years, Tribulation Crossing Realm

Looking at the Taixu Divine Stone, Taixu Essence Stone, and World-Suppressing Stone Core floating in front of him, Liu Taian asked with some doubt:

"Master, I can break through to the Tribulation Crossing Realm within a hundred years, why waste these three rare ninth-order wonders?"

Hearing this, Cen Zhe explained with a smile:

"Not long ago, my Di Xuan Realm designed a pit-killing of eleven Azure Demon Nascent Soul powerhouses."

"Now the ownership of these eleven corpses of Azure Demon Nascent Soul powerhouses needs to be decided by hunting the Azure Demon race lurking in various parts of the Di Xuan Realm."

"But only powerhouses of the Tribulation Crossing Realm of my human race have the qualifications to participate in this competition, and there are only thirty years."

"The top five Tribulation Crossing Realm powerhouses who accumulate the most points by hunting the Azure Demon race in the Di Xuan Realm within thirty years have the qualifications to divide these eleven corpses of Azure Demon Nascent Soul powerhouses."

"Now this competition has just begun, you use the Taixu Divine Stone, Taixu Essence Stone, and World-Suppressing Stone Core, these three types of heaven and earth treasures to break through to the Tribulation Crossing Realm as soon as possible, and you still have a chance to divide the corpses of Azure Demon Nascent Soul powerhouses."

"If you wait until you slowly temper your physical body, primordial spirit, and spiritual power void realm and then pass the tribulation to break through, I fear that by then everything will have been settled, and it will be too late for everything."

Hearing Cen Zhe's explanation, Liu Taian suddenly understood in his heart, and with gratitude, he bowed to Cen Zhe and saluted:

"Disciple thanks Master for your great love!"

Seeing this, Cen Zhe pretended to be impatient and waved his hand:

"Alright, don't act like a child, time is pressing, hurry up and break through to the Tribulation Crossing Realm!"

"I will personally take action to help you refine the essence of the Taixu Divine Stone, Taixu Essence Stone, and World-Suppressing Stone Core and instill it into you, so that you can complete the tempering of your physical body, primordial spirit, and spiritual power void realm as soon as possible."

"Yes, Master!"

Subsequently, Liu Taian sat cross-legged again.

He began to call upon the Great Success level rule power he had just broken through to flow through his own primordial spirit, body, and spiritual power void realm, constantly circulating and tempering.

With the flow of the Great Success level rules, Liu Taian was surrounded by Five Elements rules, and his primordial spirit, body, and spiritual power void realm gradually bloomed with faint five-colored clouds.

His originally tempered-to-the-extreme Void Body began to show signs of promotion and transformation again.

After Liu Taian entered deep meditation.

Cen Zhe waved his hand and summoned the Taixu Divine Stone, Taixu Essence Stone, and World-Suppressing Stone Core to the top of Liu Taian's head.

Then he called upon his own perfect level rule power and began to refine the origin essence hidden within the Taixu Divine Stone, Taixu Essence Stone, and World-Suppressing Stone Core.

Not long after, I saw the Taixu Divine Stone, Taixu Essence Stone, and World-Suppressing Stone Core floating above Liu Taian's head suddenly bloom with dazzling light.

The next second, streaks of heaven and earth divine sources of different colors overflowed from the Taixu Divine Stone, Taixu Essence Stone, and World-Suppressing Stone Core respectively, falling and integrating into Liu Taian's body.

"Hum!"

In an instant, Liu Taian's body, primordial spirit, and spiritual power void realm rang together, and the flowing rule power became faster and faster.

The speed at which his body, primordial spirit, and spiritual power void realm were tempered and strengthened began to soar.

Sensing the essence, energy, and spirit origin that Liu Taian was constantly condensing and strengthening, Cen Zhe nodded slightly, his face showing satisfaction:

"Not bad!"

Liu Taian was not only Cen Zhe's disciple but also the best in talent and highest in cultivation among the new generation of the Xuantian Sect.

Therefore, Cen Zhe had already selected Liu Taian as his successor.

Although Ye Qingxuan was also Cen Zhe's disciple, and his talent, aptitude, cultivation, and other aspects were not bad.

He even pioneered the brand-new path of the Blessed Land Cultivator and became the ancestor of the Blessed Land Cultivators of the Di Xuan Realm, far exceeding Liu Taian in talent and aptitude.

But in Cen Zhe's cognition, Ye Qingxuan's cultivation was still a long distance from the Tribulation Crossing Realm, and his cultivation was slightly lacking.

The most critical thing was that Ye Qingxuan liked quiet cultivation and did not like miscellaneous affairs.

Letting Ye Qingxuan serve as the Sect Master of the Xuantian Sect, whether for the Xuantian Sect or Ye Qingxuan himself, was not a good choice.

As for the other few heaven-gifted geniuses of the Xuantian Sect who had not been initiated for long and whose talent was not weaker than Liu Taian's.

If there were no special opportunities, it would inevitably take a considerable amount of time for them to grow up.

You must know that the reason Liu Taian was able to grow to the point of being about to break through to the Tribulation Crossing Realm in just over a thousand years.

Besides Liu Taian's own unusual talent, it was inseparable from Liu Taian constantly fighting with the Azure Demon race and killing quite a few Azure Demon race members to achieve himself.

Even hunting the Azure Demon race to achieve himself occupied the key factor in Liu Taian's ability to grow rapidly in over a thousand years.

But now the situation between the Di Xuan Realm and the Azure Demon Realm had stabilized.

Now, whether it was the lower realms, the interior of the Di Xuan Realm, or the border pass between the two races, no large-scale wars had erupted.

Especially after the Azure Demon race suffered a big loss this time, in a short time, there should be no large-scale fighting between cultivators of various levels on both sides.

Even if a great war erupted in the future, I fear it would only be a struggle between the top combat power of both sides.

At this time, if the cultivators of the Di Xuan Realm wanted to hunt the Azure Demon race to achieve themselves and shorten their growth time, that would inevitably be difficult.

Therefore, the few heaven-gifted geniuses of the Xuantian Sect who had not been initiated for long and whose talent was not weaker than Liu Taian's.

If they wanted to grow to Liu Taian's current level, without special opportunities, I fear it would take thousands of years.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Liu Taian was Cen Zhe's best candidate at present.

In order to let Liu Taian grow up as soon as possible and be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Xuantian Sect in the future.

As the Sect Master of the Xuantian Sect and Liu Taian's master, he naturally had to plan more opportunities for Liu Taian in advance and improve Liu Taian's strength as much as possible.

According to the agreement this time, Nascent Soul powerhouses could not personally take action to intervene in this competition.

But it did not say that they could not bestow Immortal artifacts to help, and the Xuantian Sect happened to have an auxiliary-type Immortal artifact that was good at tracking and deducing heavenly secrets.

As long as Liu Taian's cultivation broke through to the Tribulation Crossing Realm and he obtained the qualifications for the competition.

At that time, with the help of that Immortal artifact, it would not be difficult for Liu Taian to find the Azure Demon race that had revealed traces during the inspection process.

He hunted the Azure Demon race lurking in the Di Xuan Realm, and his accumulated points ranking entering the top five should not be a big problem.

One year later.

The Taixu Divine Stone, Taixu Essence Stone, and World-Suppressing Stone Core that were originally floating above Liu Taian's head had turned into powder and dissipated.

Liu Taian, who was sitting cross-legged below, slowly opened his eyes, with divine light flowing and starlight flickering in his eyes.

With Cen Zhe's help, Liu Taian had successfully absorbed the origin essence contained within the Taixu Divine Stone, Taixu Essence Stone, and World-Suppressing Stone Core.

He had tempered his body, primordial spirit, and spiritual power void realm to the signs of the current realm.

After sensing his own state, Liu Taian stood up and looked at Cen Zhe respectfully: "Master, I now have absolute certainty to pass the heaven and earth thunder tribulation and break through to the Tribulation Crossing Realm."

Hearing this, Cen Zhe nodded with satisfaction.

"Good, I will take you to the Tribulation Crossing Platform now." After speaking, Cen Zhe's figure flickered slightly, and he took Liu Taian and left this Rule Secret Realm of the Xuantian Sect.

The Tribulation Crossing Platform was the place for many disciples and even elders of the Xuantian Sect to pass the tribulation.

In the Xuantian Sect's Tribulation Crossing Platform, even if the cultivator's foundation was insufficient to withstand the full-strength thunder tribulation, they could rely on the power of the Tribulation Crossing Platform to weaken the power of the thunder tribulation.

However, only the heaven and earth thunder tribulation of the Tribulation Crossing Realm would not be easily weakened by the power of the Tribulation Crossing Platform.

Because the heaven and earth thunder tribulation that the Tribulation Crossing Realm needed to pass was too special, only by fully enduring the baptism of this heaven and earth thunder tribulation could one truly break through to the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

Once the power of the Tribulation Crossing Platform was used to weaken the heaven and earth thunder tribulation of the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

Then the cultivator, even if they successfully passed the heaven and earth thunder tribulation, would be a Tribulation Crossing Realm powerhouse with defects.

In the later stage, they would need to spend huge costs and energy to make up for this Dao defect.

If there were too many defects, they might even be unable to complete the foundation and permanently stay in the early stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, and their combat power would also be defective.

Therefore, in the Immortal Dao system of the Di Xuan Realm.

The thunder tribulations of the Deity Transformation Realm, Void Penetration Realm, and Void Meditation Realm could all be weakened and resisted by external forces such as magic treasures and Tribulation Crossing Platforms.

In the one-by-one-no-mistake version!

Only the thunder tribulation of the Tribulation Crossing Realm must be resisted by the cultivator's body, primordial spirit, and spiritual power void realm, enduring the baptism of all heaven and earth thunder tribulations, and could not use any external force to weaken or resist the power of the heaven and earth thunder tribulation.

Only then could one truly become a Tribulation Crossing Realm powerhouse without defects.

This was also the reason why Liu Taian did not dare to pass the tribulation easily before he had absolute certainty.

Besides this, the materials used to build the Tribulation Crossing Platform were extremely special. When disciples and elders of the Xuantian Sect passed the tribulation, they would also collect the dissipated thunder power and turn it into the sect's foundation.

And because of its special materials, the upper limit of the thunder power that the Tribulation Crossing Platform could store was extremely astonishing.

It could be said that the Xuantian Sect's Tribulation Crossing Platform was a great killing weapon not weaker than any Immortal artifact; it was just that the strength of the Tribulation Crossing Platform's power depended entirely on the amount of thunder tribulation power it accumulated.

Moreover, the area where the Tribulation Crossing Platform was located had a special array built by the Xuantian Sect to cover it, which could cover the fluctuations of the thunder tribulation and the perception of outsiders toward the thunder tribulation.

To avoid the power of the thunder tribulation being too strong, the projection reflected out inadvertently would affect or even destroy the minds of those low-order cultivators of the Xuantian Sect.

Normally, even if there were high-order cultivators breaking through within the Xuantian Sect, as long as they broke through in the Tribulation Crossing Platform, it would not cause abnormal movements in the Xuantian Sect or attract the attention of many middle and low-order disciples.

It was precisely because of these two reasons.

Even for cultivators within the Xuantian Sect like Liu Taian who had absolute certainty to pass the heaven and earth thunder tribulation of the Tribulation Crossing Realm and did not need to rely on the sect's Tribulation Crossing Platform to weaken the power of the thunder tribulation.

When breaking through to the Tribulation Crossing Realm, they would also go to the Tribulation Crossing Platform to break through.

Moreover, becoming a Tribulation Crossing Realm powerhouse with defects was better than dying directly.

For those cultivators whose Dao heart was relatively inferior and not very firm.

Having one more option to save their lives was always good.

Breaking through in the sect's Tribulation Crossing Platform, once they could not withstand the baptism of the heaven and earth thunder tribulation of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, they could at least rely on the power of the Tribulation Crossing Platform to weaken the thunder tribulation and survive.

As long as they survived, there was always hope. Not long after.

The area where the Tribulation Crossing Platform was located deep in the Xuantian Mountain Range began to be covered by clouds of various colors interwoven.

In the clouds emitting seven-colored clouds, thunder and lightning flashed, and seven-colored thunder was conceived.

The seven-colored heaven and earth thunder tribulation containing the destructive power of rules and the power of creation pulled on the subtle heaven and earth rules and roared down, erupting with a terrifying roaring sound.

This kind of terrifying thunder, unknown to many disciples and elders of the Xuantian Sect, lasted for a full three months before gradually subsiding.

During this period, except for Liu Taian himself, no one knew what kind of great terror he had faced.

One month after the seven-colored heaven and earth thunder tribulation erupted from the Tribulation Crossing Platform dissipated.

Liu Taian finally went down the mountain under Cen Zhe's gaze.

At the same time.

Within the Qingxuan Blessed Land, Ye Qingxuan, who was sitting cross-legged at the core of the eighth-order spirit vein, had his cultivation aura climbing in an orderly manner.

As Ye Qingxuan broke through to the late stage of the Void Meditation Realm, the speed at which he refined the world origin became faster and faster.

He was not far from the peak of the Void Meditation Realm.

And the many followers and subordinates under Ye Qingxuan were also growing slowly.

Liu Caier, who had transferred to the Blessed Land Cultivator · Self Path, as the prototype of the spiritual power void realm remaining sealed in her dantian small world was slowly absorbed and digested by her dantian small world.

Her cultivation had also gradually recovered to the peak of the Deity Transformation Realm, and she began to sprint toward the Void Penetration Realm again.

After opening up the dantian small world and condensing the rule source.

The most difficult hurdle for Liu Caier to reach the Void Penetration Realm had been opened, and what was lacking was only resource energy.

And as one of Ye Qingxuan's four major followers, cultivating in the Qingxuan Blessed Land that had just been promoted to the eighth order, what Liu Caier lacked most at this moment was all kinds of resource and energy supply.

As long as she cultivated in the Qingxuan Blessed Land, she would inevitably be able to break through to the Void Penetration Realm naturally in the near future.

Time flew by, thirteen years later.

In the ninety-fifth year of Ye Qingxuan's closed-door cultivation, plus the time consumed by Liu Taian's breakthrough, the progress of the competition for the eleven corpses of Azure Demon Nascent Soul powerhouses had already passed more than fourteen years.

In these fourteen-plus years, Tribulation Crossing Realm powerhouses who usually did not show their traces often appeared in various parts of the Di Xuan Realm.

Especially in those very remote and highly hidden areas of the Di Xuan Realm.

Among them, the boundless endless sea area and the remote outer four regions were the areas where Tribulation Crossing Realm powerhouses appeared most frequently.

After all, after the sweep organized after the destruction plan of the Di Xuan Realm alliance's wormhole channel.

Although there were still Azure Demon race powerhouses hidden within the five regions of the Di Xuan Realm and secret strongholds built by the Azure Demon race.

But the number was not as large as in the endless sea area and the outer four regions.

And the Azure Demon race and the Azure Demon race secret strongholds that survived after the large-scale sweep of various sects last time within the five regions of the Di Xuan Realm were not simple existences.

Not to mention anything else, just the means of hiding traces and covering heavenly secrets were inevitably not bad.

To want to find them, the difficulty could be imagined.

So many Tribulation Crossing Realm powerhouses within the five regions of the Di Xuan Realm with average tracking means would rather travel far to the endless sea area and the outer four regions.

Than be willing to search for the traces of the Azure Demon race within the five regions of the Di Xuan Realm.

However, among the Tribulation Crossing Realm powerhouses, there were still a portion of cultivators with outstanding means in tracking, investigation, etc., who chose to stay within the five regions of the Di Xuan Realm to hunt the remaining Azure Demon race.

At this moment, in the eastern region of the Di Xuan Realm, at the junction of Qingzhou and Yunhai Province, above a mountain range with poor spiritual energy and no obvious spiritual opportunity.

A great power in the late stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm was about to descend (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 658 =====
