Chapter 1006: Heavenly Tribulation Seizes Treasure, Thousand Xiao Flows Together

The sky, wind howling, black clouds permeating.

The earth, mountains surrounding, majestic and towering.

Palaces were dotted on the continuous mountains, and today many cultivators walked out of the palaces, looking up at the sky above the Heavenly South Dao Palace.

Their gazes were fixed on the central Heavenly Origin Temple, where a white figure sat in the void, drifting like a banished immortal.

Under the oppressive dark clouds, the cultivators' feelings toward the white-clothed man were quite complex.

There was awe, worship, and even more envy and jealousy.

The battle on the East Sea coast had been going on for three years.

After the Sinking Sea City Lord, True Person Wen, joined forces with the Back Earth Hall Master, Fairy Qing Lan, to defeat the three Great Demon Emperors, the outcome of the subsequent war was actually doomed.

The reason it lasted so long was that the major Nascent Soul True Persons no longer took action, but handed the opportunity to the lower-level cultivators below, especially the true disciples of the Dao Palace.

This could be seen as a test!

A different kind of sect competition!

Using the number of demons killed, realm, and even the recovery of lost territory as a measure to determine the strength ranking of the true disciples of this generation of Heavenly South Dao Palace.

In this way, one could remove the demon scourge and also hone the combat experience of the new generation of disciples without internal strife.

And in this three-year demon-killing trial, the white-clothed man performed the most prominently!

He first defended the Flowing Wave Mountain with the realm of early Golden Core. Then he survived from the hands of a wild beast that broke through the Sixth-Tier Sinking Sea Gate. His subsequent results in hunting demonic beasts were also extremely brilliant, whether in quantity or the strength of the Demon King level, far exceeding his peers.

So by the time the true disciples returned to the Heavenly South Dao Palace, the white-clothed man was already the nominal peerless number one.

The reason it was only nominal was that there were still a batch of powerful Golden Core true disciples who did not go to the East Sea coast to participate in the war.

But no one cared about this point!

Because the white-clothed man was too young; he advanced to the Golden Core stage at the age of forty or so, which was already a peerless genius not seen in the Mountain and Sea Realm for a thousand years. With his monstrous cultivation talent, catching up to the realms of those senior brothers was just a matter of time.

As for strength, people would not doubt him even more.

In the three-year demon-killing trial, the white-clothed man's divine sense and magic power were second to none, and even his combat techniques were improving at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even a Great Demon King was easily beheaded by him under his treasure ruler. That kind of dazzling combat talent seemed to be born, making people look sideways.

To commend his outstanding performance in the demon-killing trial and to encourage him to continue his efforts, Temple Master Zhan Bingtao decided to personally forge a natal magic treasure for him!

Yes, with such a crazy performance, the other party didn't even have a natal magic treasure yet.

The big battle today was for the purpose of refining a magic treasure!

"Zhou Fuyou, are you ready?"

A majestic and thick voice came from the Heavenly Origin Temple below.

That was the Heavenly Origin Temple Master, Zhan Bingtao, the strongest person on the Heavenly South Continent today, and also a master of artifact refining!

How can a good warrior be without weapons? In the refining of magic treasures and weapons, the Zhan family, one of the Twelve Great Chambers, had always been the best, and Zhan Bingtao was the best of the best.

Zhou Fuyou sat in the void, his eyes half-open and half-closed.

"Temple Master, the disciple is ready!"

"Then let's begin!"

As this sentence fell, a streak of light slowly emerged from the top of Zhou Fuyou's head, flying toward the boundless sky shrouded in black clouds.

At the same time, from the four directions of east, west, south, and north, four powerful magic powers struck from afar, injecting into the Heavenly Origin Temple.

Layers of array light paths unfolded, and Zhan Bingtao drank softly.

"Heavenly light sees the sun, divine thunder descends, open!"

Boom!

The next moment, a huge pillar of light as thick as a bucket shot up from the Heavenly Origin Temple.

As if in response, in the thick black clouds, electricity ran like dragons and snakes, silver light flickered, and a grand thunder also emerged with a bang.

This scene shocked many people.

Heavenly Tribulation!

This celestial phenomenon was almost exactly the same as the heavenly tribulation brought by a cultivator when breaking through the Nascent Soul stage.

Heavenly Origin Temple Master Zhan Bingtao was worthy of being a master of artifact refining; by uniting the four Hall Masters, he could actually forcibly draw out the heavenly tribulation divine thunder.

For a time, many low-level cultivators were breathing rapidly; if only the magic treasure refined by the five Nascent Soul True Persons together was theirs!

The pillar of light and the thunder intersected in an instant, wrapping the streak of light that Zhou Fuyou had released earlier.

Not only that, but from all directions, thunder snakes and electric dragons came with teeth and claws, pouncing on that streak of light.

Zhou Fuyou watched quietly, fully raising his magic power, ready to collect the treasure at any time.

The refining of this Sea-Fixing Pearl cost a quantity of precious materials that ordinary people could not imagine.

Just one of the main materials, the water lotus seed, was a treasure concluded from the Five Elements Lotus Platform, and its grade far exceeded ordinary Fourth-Tier Five Elements Lotus Platforms. After the Temple Master's inspection, that water lotus seed was concluded from at least a lotus platform about to reach the Fifth-Tier.

As for other materials, they were not cheap goods either.

The Withering Marrow Fire Spirit Diamond left by the ancestor Zhou Yunshen, a small piece of top-grade Nine Yang Geng Gold.

The Participating Wood gifted by his master, Fairy Qing Lan.

Finally, Temple Master Zhan Bingtao also spent great energy to take a piece of Reverse Dragon Scale from the Nether Earth Dragon that the Zhan family strong experts had joined forces to kill back then. Although the Reverse Dragon Scale could not compare to the Great Dragon Spine and Dragon Heart, it was also the best Fourth-Tier

earth-type material.

These main materials, any one of them could be used to refine a middle-grade, or even high-grade magic treasure.

Fusing them all together, and borrowing the power of the heavenly tribulation divine thunder, what kind of treasure would be refined?

Zhou Fuyou's breathing was rapid for a moment, but it was quickly suppressed.

Because such a magic treasure, once it appeared in the world, its foundation would inevitably be deep, and he must refine it.

Suddenly!

A thunderous reminder came from below.

"If you don't seize the treasure now, when will you wait!"

Zhou Fuyou soared up, facing the falling thunder in the sky, straight into the depths of the clouds.

Countless gazes stared complexly at that cloud layer, filled with flashing electric light and magic power.

I don't know how long passed, or perhaps it was just an instant.

A feeling that could suppress the heavens and earth, and also seemed to contain all things, arose spontaneously in everyone's heart.

The thunder and lightning stopped abruptly.

The boundless black clouds dissipated in an instant.

The white-clothed figure descended lightly into the Heavenly Origin Temple.

As soon as Zhou Fuyou landed, he attracted the gaze of the five people.

He took a deep breath, reached out, and a round, incomparable blue treasure pearl appeared before everyone.

"Master, Uncle, Fuyou has not disgraced his mission!"

Fairy Qing Lan nodded with satisfaction: "Heavenly tribulation refining treasure is the most dangerous, but once successful, its benefits are unimaginable. This Sea-Fixing Pearl in your hand has crossed the magic treasure level and is a powerful true artifact!"

Once these words were spoken, Hui Yuanhong opposite was somewhat excited: "Using a true artifact as a natal magic treasure, combined with Zhou Fuyou's already powerful strength, he will inevitably dominate the Dao Sect's Jiazi Competition!"

However, as the refiner of the Sea-Fixing Pearl, Zhan Bingtao poured cold water on it.

"Don't think it's too easy. Magic treasures are driven by magic power, and true artifacts are the same, but to exert the greatest power, they need to absorb the spiritual energy wandering between heaven and earth. Zhou Fuyou, he is only in the early Golden Core realm now."

The elders above were chatting, and Zhou Fuyou accurately captured the key information inside.

"Jiazi Competition?"

This was information he had never learned from many classics.

Seeing his confusion, his master Fairy Qing Lan explained it specially.

It turned out that it wasn't Zhou Fuyou's ignorance, but that there really was no "Jiazi Competition" in the past history of the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect.

This so-called Jiazi Competition was actually another form of the Centennial Competition.

The Heavenly Origin Dao Sect held a competition every hundred years, and every five hundred years, they would open the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven for a Cave Heaven Competition.

But after the last Cave Heaven Competition, there was no Centennial Competition a hundred years later.

Everyone knew the reason; at that time, the Central State was in the turmoil after the great catastrophe, where would there be time and energy to organize competitions between disciples.

But as time passed, the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect gradually recovered its vitality, and this ancient tradition should continue.

Zhou Fuyou calculated the time roughly; it had indeed been over a hundred years since the last Cave Heaven Competition, and no competition had been held during that period. Even this internal ranking competition of the Heavenly South Dao Palace was conducted on the human-demon battlefield.

"The Jiazi Competition is an exception, and also a product of a special period. It will inevitably not continue in the future, because the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect will inevitably return to the right track."

Zhan Bingtao took over the conversation and talked eloquently.

"Special products naturally have special rewards."

"Unlike the previous competitions where disciples at the top of the ranking would get many magic treasures, pills, technique guidance, and even family benefits, this Jiazi Competition, the beneficiaries, besides the disciples and families, will also get more resource inclination for the Dao Palace they belong to!"

Zhou Fuyou suddenly realized, no wonder other Hall Masters cared so much about this matter.

If he could perform well in the Jiazi Competition, the Heavenly South Dao Palace, which was originally weak, might get a large amount of resource inclination, and then revitalize its momentum.

Zhou Fuyou didn't feel much about the help of resources to cultivation.

His cultivation speed was extremely fast, and except for the necessary spiritual vein conditions, he almost didn't use external objects.

But he knew very well what kind of attraction those resources had for ordinary cultivators.

Not to mention anything else, just for his own little sister, wanting to continue her cultivation on the Qi Refining Immortal Path, she would inevitably need massive resources, even more than ordinary cultivators!

Zhou Fuyou secretly made up his mind that he must perform well in this Jiazi Competition.

But Zhan Bingtao hadn't finished speaking.

"Most importantly, the top ten of each realm in the Jiazi Competition have the opportunity to enter the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven for cultivation!"

Zhou Fuyou was slightly confused, not understanding the significance of entering the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven for cultivation. He subconsciously looked at his master, Fairy Qing Lan.

His master was the first place in the last Cave Heaven Competition!

Fairy Qing Lan smoothed her green hair and smiled slightly: "The heaven-defying opportunities inside can only be enjoyed by Nascent Soul True Persons, but for ordinary cultivators, there is another heaven-defying opportunity. I only need to say one point, the difference in time flow!"

"One day outside, one hundred days in the cave heaven. One year outside, one hundred years in the cave heaven!"

"If you can enter it for cultivation, even if it's only for one year, you can be a hundred years ahead of your peers in cultivation accumulation!"

Zhou Fuyou's lips parted slightly, his eyes shining, and he was rarely out of composure.

With his cultivation speed, if he could cross a hundred years of time, what realm could he reach?

"Zhou Fuyou, go and cultivate well! The Jiazi Competition

is still decades away, and with your cultivation speed, this period is enough for your realm to improve again, and you can also exert more power of the Sea-Fixing Pearl. The old man hopes that in the Jiazi Competition, you can win a good ranking for the Heavenly South Dao Palace!" Zhan Bingtao said slowly, his eyes full of expectation.

Zhou Fuyou bowed, "Fuyou will do his best, and will definitely not let Master and Uncle down!"

Out of the Heavenly Origin Temple, although Zhou Fuyou's mood was extremely excited, his expression had returned to calm.

Facing the envious gazes cast from all sides, he was completely unaware, and returned to the new Morning and Evening Palace by himself.

There, many people were waiting for him.

Senior Sister Shi Miaoyin, Second Senior Brother Fu Bin, Fifth Senior Sister...

Clansman Zhou Yuwei, Zhou Yuqi sitting in a wheelchair, cousin Lin Qingtong.

And his younger sister Zhou Qingyu!

After returning, everyone celebrated his acquisition of the natal magic treasure, and a wine banquet was held.

In the middle of the wine banquet, other senior brothers came to congratulate him from time to time.

Inside, there were also many junior brothers and sisters he had saved on the East Sea coast battlefield.

Unknowingly, Zhou Fuyou had gathered a batch of extraordinary connections around him; these people didn't look very outstanding in the Heavenly South Dao Palace, but if they were placed in the Heavenly South Continent, or even the entire Central State, they would all be masters of one side in the future.

And Zhou Fuyou was the most dazzling existence among them.

After some celebration, Zhou Fuyou returned to the cultivation room as usual.

The words of Temple Master Zhan Bingtao and his master during the day were still echoing in Zhou Fuyou's mind.

When he was very, very young, he had a craving for power.

This craving, later on, even became urgent.

He craved power, urgently possessed higher status, not only for himself but also for the people around him.

This urgency and craving seemed to disappear after he broke through the Golden Core stage.

But on Flowing Wave Mountain, the gaze of that huge black dragon made him understand that a Golden Core Upper Person was nothing!

Only Nascent Soul, only Soul Transformation, can be carefree in this world and protect the people he cherishes.

Once again, he had motivation.

"Jiazi Competition, I must win a good ranking, I must enter the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven!"

"One year outside, one hundred years in the cave heaven."

"If I can walk out from inside, I will be a Nascent Soul True Person!"

Zhou Fuyou thought so, his will was incomparably firm!

……

There are no suns and moons in the mountains, and a thousand years have passed in the world.

Unknowingly, fifty years had passed since Luo Chen came to the Arctic Night-Mo Heaven.

This former sacred land mountain gate no longer had the scene of aurora shimmering and blocking the sun.

The sky was full of cold wind and snow, and the sky seemed to be dyed with a

layer of gray, forming a thick iron curtain.

This day!

Above the iron curtain sky, a mighty star flow emerged, rolling past.

Wherever the star flow passed, the iron curtain bloomed, and the wind and snow retreated.

Even the blood pool in the glacier couldn't help but boil.

For a time, it felt like the destruction of heaven and earth.

But in an instant, the mighty star flow disappeared.

The iron curtain closed again, the wind and snow remained, the severe cold remained, and the blood pool returned to calm.

Sensing such an anomaly, Xiao Bai and Black King had long returned from other parts of Night-Mo Heaven, waiting under a mountain waist.

Swish!

A sword light soared into the sky, and then landed in front of them.

The comer had a tall figure, hard features, lips slightly curled as if contemptuous or disdainful, and a pair of black eyes like a bottomless abyss, making people unable to help but sink into them.

He just stood there quietly, like a sword out of its sheath, almost piercing the sky.

Standing quietly for a while, the black-clothed Daoist spat out a breath of turbid air.

With this breath, the feeling of sharpness gradually converged, until the initial gentleness like jade.

Xiao Bai and Black King looked at each other, and then spoke in unison.

"Congratulations to Master for leaving seclusion!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly and waved his sleeves.

"Let's go, let's return to the Eastern Wasteland!"
