Chapter 1008: Heavenly Tribulation Seizing Treasure, Thousand Sky Merging Flow

Sky, wind howling, black clouds permeating.

Earth, mountains surrounding, majestic and towering.

Palaces are dotted on the continuous mountains in twos and threes. Today, many cultivators walked out of the palaces, looking up at that side of the sky above the Heaven-South Dao Palace.

Their gazes are fixed on the center where the Heaven-Origin Temple is located, where a white figure sits in the void, drifting like a banished immortal.

Under the oppressive dark clouds, the mood of the cultivators looking at the white-clothed man is quite complex.

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

The battle at the East Sea shore has been going on intermittently for three years.

After Sea-Surging City Lord Wen True Person joined forces with Back-Earth Hall Master Green Blue Fairy to defeat the three great Demon Emperors, the outcome of the subsequent war was actually doomed.

The reason it lasted so long is 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 can 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 decide the strength ranking of the true disciples of this generation.

In this way, one can remove the demon scourge, and also temper the combat experience of the new generation of disciples without internal fighting.

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

He first defended Flowing Wave Mountain with the realm of early-stage Golden Core. Then he saved his life from the hands of a wild beast that broke through the Sixth-Layer Sea-Surging Gate. The subsequent results of hunting demonic beasts were also extremely brilliant, whether in quantity or the strength of the demon king level, far exceeding his peers.

So in the end, when the true disciples returned to the Heaven-South Dao Palace, the white-clothed man was already the nominal first among his peers.

The reason it is said to be nominal is that there was a batch of powerful Golden Core true disciples who did not go to the East Sea shore to participate in the war.

But no one cares about this point!

Because the white-clothed man is too young; he advanced to the Golden Core stage at the age of forty, which is a peerless genius not seen in the mountain and sea world for a thousand years. With his monstrous cultivation talent, catching up to the realm of those senior brothers is just a matter of time.

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

In the three-year demon-killing trial, the divine sense and magic power displayed by the white-clothed man were second to none, and even his combat techniques were improving crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even a Great Demon King was easily beheaded by his treasure ruler when facing him. That kind of dazzling combat talent seems to be innate, 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 life-bound magic treasure for him!

Yes, with such a crazy performance, the other party didn't even have a life-bound magic treasure.

Such a big battle today is for the purpose of refining a magic treasure!

"Zhou Fuyou, are you ready?"

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

That is Heaven-Origin Temple Master Zhan Bingtao, the strongest person on the Heaven-South continent today, and also a master of artifact refining!

How can a warrior be without weapons? In the refining of magic treasure weapons, the Zhan family, one of the Twelve Great Houses, has always been the leader, and Zhan Bingtao is the leader among leaders.

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

"Temple Master, the disciple is ready!"

"Then let's begin!"

As this sentence falls, a strand of light slowly emerges from the top of Zhou Fuyou's head, flying toward the boundless sky covered by black clouds.

At the same time, from the four directions of southeast, northwest, four powerful magic powers strike from afar, injecting into the Heaven-Origin Temple.

Layers of array light paths unfold, Zhan Bingtao shouts in a low voice.

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

Boom!

The next moment, a huge pillar of light as thick as a bucket rises from the Heaven-Origin Temple.

As if in response, in the thick black cloud layer, electricity runs like dragons and snakes, silver light flashes, and a grand thunder also suddenly appears.

This scene scared many people.

Heavenly Tribulation!

This celestial phenomenon is almost exactly the same as the heavenly tribulation brought about when a cultivator breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Heaven-Origin Temple Master Zhan Bingtao is worthy of being a master of artifact refining, actually able to forcibly draw out heavenly tribulation divine thunder by joining forces with the four hall masters.

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

Pillar of light and thunder, instantly intersecting together, wrapping the strand of light that Zhou Fuyou released earlier.

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

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

The refining of this Sea-Stabilizing Pearl cost precious materials beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

One of the main materials, the water lotus seed, is a treasure condensed from the Five Elements Lotus Platform, and its grade far exceeds ordinary Fourth-Tier Five Elements Lotus Platforms. After inspection by the Temple Master, that water lotus seed is at least condensed from a lotus platform about to reach the Fifth-Tier.

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

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

The Can Tong Wood gifted by his master Green Blue Fairy.

Finally, Temple Master Zhan Bingtao also spent great effort to take down a Reverse Dragon Scale from the Nether Earth Dragon that was jointly killed by Zhan family strong experts back then. Although the Reverse Dragon Scale cannot compare to the Great Dragon Spine and Dragon Heart, it is also the best Fourth-Tier

earth-type material.

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

Fusing them all together, and with the help of the heavenly tribulation divine thunder power, what kind of treasure will be refined?

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

Because such a magic treasure, once born, its foundation must be heavy, 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 rises into the air, facing the falling thunder, straight into the depths of the cloud layer.

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

I don't know how much time passed, or it felt like an instant.

A feeling that can suppress the heavens and also contain all things arises spontaneously in everyone's heart.

Thunder and lightning stop abruptly.

The boundless dark clouds dissipate in an instant.

The white-clothed figure lands lightly in the Heaven-Origin Temple.

As soon as Zhou Fuyou lands, he attracts the gaze of five people.

He takes a deep breath, reaches out, and a round blue pearl is presented to everyone.

"Master, Uncle, Fuyou has fulfilled the mission!"

Green Blue Fairy nods with relief: "Refining treasure with heavenly tribulation is the most dangerous, but once successful, the benefits are unimaginable. This Sea-Stabilizing Pearl in your hand has crossed the magic treasure level and is a powerful true artifact!"

As soon as these words are spoken, Hui Yuanhong opposite says excitedly: "Using a true artifact as a life-bound magic treasure, combined with Zhou Fuyou's already powerful strength, he will definitely be able to dominate the Dao Sect's Sixty-Year Competition!"

However, as the refiner of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, Zhan Bingtao pours a basin of cold water.

"Don't think it's too easy. Magic treasures are driven by magic power, and although true artifacts are the same, 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-stage Golden Core realm now."

The elders above are chatting, and Zhou Fuyou accurately captures the key information inside.

"Sixty-Year Competition?"

This is information he has never learned from numerous classics.

Seeing his confusion, his master Green Blue Fairy explains it specially.

It turns out it's not that Zhou Fuyou is ignorant, but that there really hasn't been a "Sixty-Year Competition" in the past history of the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect.

This so-called Sixty-Year Competition is actually another form of the Centennial Competition.

The Heavenly Origin Dao Sect holds a competition every hundred years, and every five hundred years, it opens the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven for a Cave Heaven Competition.

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

Everyone knows the reason; at that time, the Central Plains was in the turmoil after the great catastrophe, so where would there be time and energy to organize a competition between disciples.

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

Zhou Fuyou roughly calculated the time; it has indeed been over a hundred years since the last Cave Heaven Competition, and there hasn't been any competition during this period. Even this ranking competition within the Heaven-South Dao Palace was conducted on the human-demon battlefield.

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

Zhan Bingtao takes over the conversation and talks eloquently.

"Special products naturally have special rewards."

"Unlike the rewards of many magic treasures, pills, techniques, guidance, and even family benefits that disciples with high rankings in previous competitions would get, this time the Sixty-Year Competition, besides the disciples and families, the Dao Palace they belong to will also get more resource tilt!"

Zhou Fuyou suddenly realizes, no wonder other hall masters care so much about this matter.

If he can perform well in the Sixty-Year Competition, then the Heaven-South Dao Palace, which was originally weak, might be able to get a large amount of resource tilt, and then revitalize its momentum.

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

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

But he knows very well what kind of attraction those resources have for ordinary cultivators.

Not to mention anything else, just for his own little sister, wanting to continue her cultivation in the Qi Refining Immortal Dao, she must need a vast amount of resources, even more than ordinary cultivators!

Zhou Fuyou secretly makes up his mind that he must perform well in this Sixty-Year Competition.

But Zhan Bingtao hasn't finished speaking.

"Most importantly, the top ten of each realm in the Sixty-Year Competition have a chance to enter the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven to cultivate!"

Zhou Fuyou is slightly confused, not understanding the significance of entering the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven to cultivate. He subconsciously looks at his master Green Blue Fairy.

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

Green Blue Fairy smooths her green hair and smiles 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 to cultivate, even if it's only for one year, you can be faster than your peers by a hundred years of cultivation accumulation!"

Zhou Fuyou's lips open slightly, his eyes shining, rarely losing his composure.

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

"Zhou Fuyou, go and cultivate well! The Sixty-Year 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-Stabilizing Pearl. The old man hopes that in the Sixty-Year Competition, you can win a good ranking for the Heaven-South Dao Palace!" Zhan Bingtao says slowly, his eyes full of expectation.

Zhou Fuyou bows, "Fuyou will do his best, and will definitely not let the Master and Uncle disappoint!"

Out of the Heaven-Origin Temple, although Zhou Fuyou's mood is incomparably excited, his expression has returned to calm.

Facing the envious gazes cast from all sides, he feels nothing, returning to the new Morning-Evening Palace on his own.

There, many people are waiting for him.

Zhou Shijie Shi Miaoyin, Second Qi Qi Shixiong Fu Bin, Fifth Zhou Shijie...

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

And his sister Zhou Qingyu!

After returning, everyone celebrates his acquisition of a life-bound magic treasure, holding a grand banquet.

During the banquet, other senior brothers come to congratulate him from time to time.

Inside, there are also many junior brothers and sisters he saved on the East Sea shore battlefield.

Unknowingly, Zhou Fuyou has gathered a batch of not-so-bad connections around him; these people don't look very outstanding in the Heaven-South Dao Palace, but if placed in the Heaven-South Continent, or even the entire Central Plains, they will all be masters of one side in the future.

And Zhou Fuyou is the most dazzling existence among them.

After a celebration, Zhou Fuyou returns to the cultivation room as usual.

The words of Temple Master Zhan Bingtao and his master during the day are 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 a higher status, not only for himself but also for the people around him.

This urgent craving seemed to disappear after he broke through to 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 is nothing!

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

Once again, he had motivation.

"Sixty-Year 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 thinks so, his will is incomparably firm!

……

No sun and moon in the mountains, a thousand years in the world.

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

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

The sky is full of cold wind and snow, and the sky seems to be dyed with a

layer of gray, forming a thick iron curtain.

This day!

Above the iron curtain sky, a vast star flow surges and rolls past.

Wherever the star flow passes, the iron curtain blooms, and the snowstorm retreats.

Even that pool of blood in the glacier boils uncontrollably.

For a time, there is a feeling of destroying the world.

But in an instant, the vast star flow disappears.

The iron curtain closes again, the snowstorm remains, the cold remains, and that pool of blood returns to calm.

Sensing this strange phenomenon, Xiao Bai and the Black King returned from other parts of the Night-Demon Heaven early and waited under a mountain waist.

Whoosh!

A sword light soars into the sky and lands in front of them.

The comer has a tall figure, hard facial 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 stands there quietly, like a drawn sword, almost piercing the sky.

Standing quietly for a while, the black-clothed Daoist exhales a turbid breath.

As this breath is exhaled, the sharp edge gradually converges until it returns to the initial gentle as jade.

Xiao Bai and the Black King look at each other and then speak simultaneously.

"Congratulations to Master for leaving seclusion!"

Luo Chen smiles slightly, waving his large sleeve.

"Let's go, we're returning to the Eastern Wasteland!" ===== CHAPTER 1009 =====
