Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Ang~

The Azure Dragon gave Xu Zhangqing no time to react; its sky-covering dragon head suddenly rose, and a dragon's roar shook the Nine Heavens.

The entire dragon body transformed into a blue-green light pillar piercing heaven and earth, carrying the Wood Spirit Qi accumulated over a hundred million years of the entire Qinglong Donglu as it descended from the sky like an inverted blue-green Star River, directly crashing into Xu Zhangqing's body.

The moment the immense power surged into his four limbs and hundred bones, he felt every inch of flesh and meridian filled to the limit by this power.

The Azure Dragon bestowed more than one hundred thousand years of Dao cultivation without reservation.

It transformed into an illusory dragon shadow and arrived before the Yuan Dao Foundation.

But the sight before its eyes left the Azure Dragon stunned.

If the foundation were a tree,

then Xu Zhangqing's foundation was a towering ancient tree formed by the trinity of Creation, Order, and Termination.

Whether Wood Origin or Creation Dao Origin, they were merely two branches.

The Xuan Water Great Dao, Polluted Earth Great Dao, Five Elements Great Dao, Time and Space Great Dao—supreme laws that would make any cultivator in Wai Jie fight to the death over them—were merely a few leaves.

Xu Zhangqing's foundation belonged to none of the known types.

At least, the Azure Dragon, having lived so long, had never seen such a thing.

Only now did it realize.

Everyone had underestimated Xu Zhangqing, underestimated this Spirit Farmer.

Even that exalted one had looked down on this fellow.

"So, you also have times when you look down on others!"

"Let's see who gets the last laugh!"

"Hahaha!"

Seeing this, the Azure Dragon phantom let out a hearty laugh.

Before the laughter faded, it began to crumble.

The dragon body transformed into Wood Origin, spreading along the Yuan Dao main trunk.

Wherever it passed, the originally thin Wood-element branches were reinforced layer by layer, dragon-scale law patterns emerged from the branch surfaces, and the two gradually merged.

The dragon pupils transformed into Creation Dao Origin, merging into the Creation Dao branches.

Complete Wood Origin.

Complete Creation Dao Origin.

At this moment, Xu Zhangqing was completely perfected.

The next second, the Sky changed color!

Over Qinglong Donglu, originally cloudless for ten thousand li, was suddenly covered by a thick, almost substantial black Tribulation Cloud.

The Tribulation Cloud's range was so vast it covered the entire Qinglong Star.

Looking down from high above, the vast blue-green planet seemed grasped in an invisible hand's palm.

Surging within the Tribulation Cloud was not electricity, but chaotic dark light between law and void.

This was the primordial form of the Heavenly Tribulation before taking shape, and also the Great Dao scrutinizing the foundation of the one undergoing tribulation.

Xinggang, outside the Auction House Door.

Nangong He looked up at the black Tribulation Cloud covering the entire planet, his pupils contracting violently.

Although he didn't know what was happening, just looking at it was terrifying.

Even a wisp of leaked aura made one's skin crawl with cold.

Zheng Family Manor, the Zheng Eldest Miss knelt before the Ancestral Hall, her forehead pressed against the cold Blue Stone Ground.

The moment the Tribulation Cloud pressed down, she thought it was Xu Zhangqing's anger arriving.

Finally gritting her teeth, she chose suicide.

……

……

Deepest part of the Qinglong Mountain Range, beneath the Dragon-shaped Ancient Tree.

Xu Zhangqing was enveloped by the blue-green light pillar transformed from the Azure Dragon, and could no longer perceive any movement from Wai Jie.

Void Refining cultivator.

Flesh Body as container, Divine Soul as core.

Shen Guo as the domain of one's own power made manifest.

The essence of the Union Tribulation was to fuse and reshape the three.

That is, to transform the cultivator from a "container bearing laws" into a "self-sufficient Origin."

The Heavenly Tribulation had three levels: Flesh Body Tribulation, Divine Soul Tribulation, God Country Tribulation.

First level, Flesh Body Tribulation.

The Tribulation Cloud split open, and pouring down from the rift was not electricity, but a colorless, odorless transparent Karma Fire.

It did not burn plants or mountain stones, only targeting the cultivator's flesh body.

For any cultivator, the flesh body was the container of laws, through which Law Power flowed.

When the laws were burned away, the flesh body naturally crumbled.

However, when this layer of transparent Karma Fire fell upon Xu Zhangqing, it was like rain water falling into the sea.

His Yuan Dao Foundation did not enter the Five Elements, jumped out of the Three Realms, and was not tainted by cause and effect; on the Fa Ze Ceng Mian level it could not be locked onto by Karma Fire.

This fire burned all laws, yet Xu Zhangqing's Flesh Body happened to not be within "all".

Flames surged ceaselessly three feet outside him, yet no matter what they could not touch his Skin.

Like a golden lotus growing in fire, passing through ten thousand fires, not a spark clung to his body.

The second tribulation, Divine Soul Calamity.

The Karma Fire had not yet dissipated, when from within the Tribulation Clouds descended an extremely faint, extremely thin gray beam of light.

It silently pierced through Xu Zhangqing's brow center, directly entering his consciousness sea.

Divine Soul Calamity, also known as Heart Demon Calamity.

It was neither an external enemy nor an illusion technique, but rather pointed straight at the inner heart.

It used a cultivator's regrets, obsessions, guilt, and fears as raw materials, thus manufacturing illusions.

Xu Zhangqing's first Heart Demon was Ruo Qunshuang.

She wore that purple long dress he liked most, tilting her head and asking: "Qing Ge, do you say people have a next life?"

Xu Zhangqing clearly knew this was a Heart Demon illusion, yet still couldn't help but answer: "Yes."

Once these words were spoken, Ruo Qunshuang transformed into a wisp of Green Smoke and dissipated.

This seemed like he hadn't come out, but in reality he had already come out.

The second Heart Demon was Zhu Fuxian.

Dongting Immortal Sect, the elder who had supported him, now stood at the Front.

Aged, haggard, his body still permeated with a decaying smell.

He still wore that Green Robe, the Expression on his face as Gentle as in life: "Junior Brother, that side of the Xuanhuang Realm, are you still going or not?"

Xu Zhangqing was silent for a long time, then said in a low voice: "I'm sorry!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Fuxian gave a Slight Smile, then also dissipated.

The third Heart Demon was an unrecognized woman.

She wore a set of Yue Se Changpao, her countenance clear and cold like frost, a full moon rising behind her back.

The woman looked at him, her Gaze calmly asking: "Ninth Junior Brother, do you still remember me?"

Xu Zhangqing froze.

He did not recognize this woman, yet the other party called him "Ninth Junior Brother".

And this address of Junior Brother, only in the Northern Dipper Immortal Mansion would they call him so.

Yet among all the direct disciples, there was not a single female.

Furthermore, Xu Zhangqing ranked eighth, not ninth.

At this moment, he always felt he had forgotten something.

Was it that he forgot a certain person?

Or forgot a very important matter?

Thinking back and forth, Xu Zhangqing only felt a headache, and immediately asked: "You... who are you?"

The woman did not answer, merely quietly watching him.

Watching and watching, her figure began to dissipate, fading away bit by bit from Memory.

The third tribulation, God Country Calamity.

Karma Fire not yet gone, Heart Demon not yet scattered.

Deep within the Tribulation Clouds, the third light lit up.

It was a purple light, directly entering Xu Zhangqing's Shen Guo.

The instant the purple light entered, all laws, Dao rhymes, and cause and effect within the Shen Guo simultaneously manifested countless purple Chains.

These Chains coiled around every single Lingti in the Shen Guo.

Coiled around the rainbow light of the Three Spirit Sacred Tree, coiled around the golden ears of the Many Children Much Fortune Mother Rice, coiled around the crown of the Immortal Phoenix Tree.

Even coiled around the wrist of the Chaos Divine Lord.

Heavenly Dao Shackles, shackling everything within the Shen Guo.

The purpose of doing this was to make them unable to detach from the Heavenly Dao's Kong Zhi.

These shackles would accompany a Spirit Unification cultivator's entire cultivation stage, slightly loosening at the Mahayana Stage, until the Transcendence stage they would be thoroughly removed.

Although Xu Zhangqing's Yuan Dao Foundation did not enter the Five Elements and jumped out of the Three Realms, the Shen Guo itself is a product of interwoven laws.

The entire process of crossing the tribulation seemed not to have lasted long.

The Tribulation Clouds gradually dispersed, Qinglong Donglu returned to Normal.

Spiritual Energy still Flowing, Spirit Fields still teeming with vitality.

But only Xu Zhangqing knew, Qinglong... was no more!
