Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
After a while, a tremor suddenly came from the direction of Tian Ji Xing.
It was a deep tremor emanating from within outward, from the level of Law Origin, causing Yu Heng Xing to resonate at the same instant.
Xu Zhangqing opened his eyes, sweeping his Divine Sense toward the source of the tremor.
Above Tian Ji Xing, a cold moon of ten thousand zhang was rising.
Moonlight poured down like mercury, illuminating the surroundings clearly.
The moment Xu Zhangqing's Divine Sense touched it, he felt an intense cold capable of freezing the operation of Laws.
A normal cultivator's Divine Sense could not even approach before such a cold moon.
At the center of the cold moon hovered a figure.
White clothes whiter than snow, long hair like a waterfall.
Around her appeared chains alternating between reality and illusion.
Each bound her in time, yet loosened at the level of Laws.
At this moment, most of the chains were snapping one after another.
These chains were Luo Qinghan's attachment to this world.
Suddenly, the medicinal power of the Xing Que Dao Dao Pill erupted completely at this moment.
Pushing all of her accumulation toward the ultimate threshold spanning between immortal and mortal.
Xu Zhangqing murmured to himself: "Second Senior Sister is about to undergo tribulation."
Transcendence Path cultivators are inherently special; wanting to reach Transcendence is far more difficult than for other Mahayana cultivators.
The aura of heavenly tribulation soon gathered.
It was a pressure Xu Zhangqing had never felt before.
Coming neither from Spiritual Energy nor from Laws.
But from the direct gaze of Hongmeng Origin.
The clouds above Tian Ji Xing were torn layer by layer.
Hongmeng light poured directly down from the rifts.
The color of that light was extremely dreamlike, seeming gold yet not gold, seeming purple yet not purple, a color of all colors crushed together and remixed.
Every trace of light carried the will of Hongmeng Origin.
Xu Zhangqing saw this in his eyes, his pupils slightly contracting.
He had seen the remnant consciousness of the Lord of Creation Dao in Eternal Night Ruins, seen the Demon God of fifty thousand years of Dao Xing in Yao Shen Lie Chang, and even glimpsed the infiltration of the Lord in Red.
But all of these combined brought less pressure than that Hongmeng light.
"Undergoing tribulation in Beidou Xianfu?"
"The tribulation of Transcendence Path cultivators is indeed astonishing!"
"Will it affect us?"
Seeing this scene, everyone discussed animatedly.
And just as the heavenly tribulation was about to condense into form, a great hand from the direction of Tian Shu Xing suddenly reached out.
It did not become huge, merely waving across the spatial domain.
Luo Qinghan and the Hongmeng light just condensing above her head were wrapped by an extremely pure power of time, then vanished into thin air.
The next second, Luo Qinghan's aura completely severed from Beidou Star Domain, as if she had never appeared there.
The Great Dao Venerable has acted!
Merely waving his hand lightly, he sent both the heavenly tribulation and Luo Qinghan away.
Thus, the destructive power brought by the Nine-Layer Heavenly Tribulation would not affect any corner of Beidou Xianfu.
Luo Qinghan could also focus on facing the heavenly tribulation without interference from Wai Jie.
After a brief tremor, the entire Beidou Xianfu returned to calm.
Xu Zhangqing withdrew his Divine Sense, thinking to himself: "Is it that the power of Transcendence tribulation is too great, or that the Master does not want any problem with the time barrier of Beidou Xianfu?"
As a junior martial brother, he naturally hoped his senior sister would succeed.
Previously, Luo Qinghan had paid no small price to break through her realm.
If she failed, no one could bear it.
Not long after, Hundred Li Hong appeared; before he even entered the door, his voice came first: "Lao Jiu, did you see it!"
Xu Zhangqing welcomed him into the Bamboo Hut, nodding: "I saw it."
Hundred Li Hong poured himself a cup of Spirit Tea on his own initiative, then said quite excitedly: "The heavenly tribulation of Transcendence is not simple at all!"
Xu Zhangqing smiled: "Senior Brother, you seem to understand it very well!"
Hundred Li Hong deeply agreed: "To be honest, I am almost at Mahayana Stage myself, so naturally I should understand it along the way."
"Now, let me tell you about the Nine-Layer Heavenly Tribulation."
"The first layer is Qi Refining Tribulation, spirit fire and cold springs striking alternately."
"The second layer is Foundation Establishment Tribulation; what comes is not ordinary heavenly thunder, but Hongmeng Divine Thunder."
"The third layer is Golden Core Tribulation; Hongmeng Turbulence can simultaneously reverse all spells and divine abilities one has mastered."
"That is to say, the more and the more varied one has mastered, the higher the difficulty of this level will be."
The Fourth Tribulation of Nascent Soul: Hongmeng will tear open the Xu Kong Lie Feng and devour all laws and Dao rhythms.
The Fifth Tribulation of Spirit Severing attacks the body, Divine Soul, and Foundation simultaneously, leaving no chance to catch one's breath.
Saying this, Hundred Li Hong paused, his expression growing somewhat solemn: "And starting from the Sixth Tribulation of Refining Void, things become troublesome."
Xu Zhangqing asked in pursuit: "How so?"
Hundred Li Hong said seriously: "The Hongmeng Heavenly Eye will judge your Foundation."
Everything within the Foundation is directly seen through by the Heavenly Eye; not a single falsehood can be made.
The Seventh Tribulation of Union: the Shen Guo will shift, and deities will give birth to self-consciousness.
The Eighth Tribulation of Great Ascension is not the same as those previous heavenly tribulations.
Choosing different Daos means the heavenly tribulation gives different tribulations.
The tribulation of the Transcendence Path is divided into three layers.
The first layer is Law Assimilation: whatever law one cultivates, Hongmeng will descend the corresponding law to assimilate—fire cultivators are burned by fire, water cultivators are drowned by water.
If you cannot endure it, you will be devoured by the law itself.
The second layer is Heavenly Heart Inquiry: the will of the Great Dao descends upon the Shen Guo, scrutinizing the Dao Heart; anyone who contradicts the Great Dao will see their Shen Guo collapse in an instant.
The third layer is Slaying Myself to Illuminate the Dao: one must personally slay a self that produces conflict.
Once all three layers are passed, there is no longer any boundary between oneself and the Great Dao.
The tribulation of the Creation Path is also divided into three layers.
The first layer is Myriad Spirits Knocking the Heart: every believer's voice under the Dao lineage resounds simultaneously in the sea of consciousness; only by guarding one's original heart and not being drowned by countless distracting thoughts does one count as passing.
The second layer is Dao Lineage Collapse: Hongmeng sees a day in the future when one's own Dao lineage crumbles before one's eyes, believers scatter, and faith collapses.
Those who cannot endure it will have their Dao Heart shatter on the spot.
The third layer is Karma Backlash: all karma accrued while weaving the faith system will be settled all at once by Hongmeng.
Once all three layers are passed, the Dao lineage is no longer duckweed dependent on heaven and earth, but a pillar between heaven and earth.
Xu Zhangqing asked thoughtfully: "What about Second Senior Sister's Transcendence Path?"
Hundred Li Hong smiled wryly: "The most difficult tribulation is the tribulation of the Transcendence Path!"
Xu Zhangqing made an "oh" sound, appearing quite curious.
Hundred Li Hong continued: "This tribulation is named the Severing Ties Tribulation."
The tribulation has one more layer than the Transcendence Path and Creation Path, totaling four layers.
The first layer: Karma Chains.
Things like familial love, friendship, teacher's grace, grudges, oaths, and commitments must be personally severed.
If they cannot be severed, the chains do not scatter, and the tribulation cannot be passed.
The second layer: Existence Erasure.
Hongmeng will erase all traces of existence from the world.
Such as names, classics, jade slips, Chuan Xin, even appearance; others' memories will gradually fade, as if such a person never existed.
One must maintain self-consciousness without collapsing while all this happens.
Otherwise one will truly disappear.
The third layer: Heavenly Eye Inquiry of the Heart.
Hongmeng descends a Heavenly Eye; only by not hesitating, firmly holding one's thoughts, obsessions, and Dao Heart—for example, that transcendence is the only destination—will the Heavenly Eye close.
The fourth layer: Returning to Void Choice.
After passing the first three layers, one has no further connection with this world.
But at this time, Hongmeng will offer a choice.
One can choose to regret.
As long as one turns back, all karma is reconnected, and all erased traces are restored.
But if one chooses not to turn back, traces of existence will be completely stripped from the river of time, no longer within any heavenly secret deduction, no longer within any karma cycle, and from then on, there is no me in all worlds!
