Chapter 452: Fengxi Daoren Undergoes Tribulation, Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation, Five Elements

"The person in charge of the Qianmiao Secret Realm is naturally Lord Zhou Sui."

"He is Lord Fengxi's Dao Companion, the creator of the Qianmiao Secret Realm, the owner of the Immortal Artifact Dream World, the master of the Dao Soldier Mother Tree, and he will surely be our Human Emperor in the future."

Yin Tianxi said as if it were a matter of course.

"What? You mean to say that everything regarding the development of the Human Race is inextricably linked to this Zhou Sui?"

"And that it was even brought about by his own efforts alone?"

Shensuan Daoren's pupils constricted.

He had originally thought it was the work of Fengxi Daoren, but now it seemed it was someone else entirely.

However, he had never heard the name Zhou Sui before; he must be a rising star.

Perhaps this person is the Destined Son who will lead the rise of the Human Race.

Heaven has truly not treated the Human Race poorly.

Even if the Human Emperor is dead, the Human Race still gives birth to sufficiently outstanding prodigies.

"That is correct."

Yin Tianxi nodded.

"I wish to see him."

Shensuan Daoren said straightforwardly.

"Lord Zhou Sui is busy with a myriad of affairs every day and often goes into seclusion to cultivate, so he may not necessarily be able to see you."

"However, I will report your request."

"As for whether Lord Zhou Sui is willing to see you, or when he will see you, I cannot decide."

Yin Tianxi said indifferently.

Hearing this, Shensuan Daoren frowned; according to these words, it would likely not be such a simple matter for him to see this legendary Great Ability.

He had never expected that one day he would be unable to even see a junior.

It can only be said that times have changed.

"If I cannot see Daoist Zhou, then is it possible to see other people in charge?"

Shensuan Daoren continued to ask.

He felt that even if he could not see that Zhou Sui, he could still meet other authorities of the Qianmiao Secret Realm.

This would also be beneficial for his life in the Qianmiao Secret Realm.

After all, as an Integration Great Power, he still possessed a certain degree of value.

"That is naturally possible."

"At present, besides Lord Zhou Sui, there are also Lady Tao Qili, Lady Shi Yuxi, Lady Hua Siqing, and Lady Bai Sujie; they are all Integration Great Powers and also Lord Zhou Sui's Dao Companions, responsible for managing the various affairs of the Qianmiao Secret Realm."

"I wonder which one Senior Shensuan wishes to see?"

Yin Tianxi asked.

Clearly, over the past three hundred years, the cultivation of the three women Shi Yuxi, Hua Siqing, and Bai Sujie had advanced by leaps and bounds, and they had successfully passed the Integration Heavenly Tribulation, becoming Cultivators at the He Ti Initial Stage.

As Zhou Sui's Dao Companions, they also possessed astonishing talent, so it was quite normal for them to grow so quickly.

"What? Tao Qili, Shi Yuxi, Hua Siqing, and Bai Sujie have also ascended to Integration?"

Shensuan Daoren's pupils constricted, and he was immediately stunned.

He had naturally heard of these female Cultivators; they were all friends of Fengxi Daoren in the past.

But according to his calculations, the probability of these female Cultivators becoming Integration Great Powers in the future was not very high.

He estimated that Refining Void Perfection was their limit.

Of course, Bai Sujie possessed the bloodline of the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Fox and had astonishing Luck, so her future was limitless and could not be predicted.

But the other three female Cultivators could be predicted.

Yet, only so much time has passed, and they have actually ascended to Integration one after another; it is truly beyond imagination.

How on earth did they pass the Integration Thunder Tribulation?

After all, the Human Race still had quite a few Refining Void Cultivators capable of ascending to Integration, but the Thunder Tribulation and Heart Demon Tribulation were major hurdles.

If one could not pass them, it was a dead end.

But regardless, they had indeed crossed many hurdles and successfully ascended to Integration.

If it were the Human Race of the past, these female Cultivators would all be Integration Great Powers and high-ranking officials of the Human Race.

"Isn't that a matter of course?"

"As Lord Zhou Sui's Dao Companions, such progress is a very normal thing."

Yin Tianxi said as if it were a matter of course; he did not feel there was anything strange about it.

On the contrary, it would be truly strange if they could not ascend to Integration.

"This."

Shensuan Daoren was speechless; although he had never met Zhou Sui in person, hearing this now, the fact that the five famous female Cultivators of Fengxi City in the past had all been taken into his possession made him fear he was a lecherous ghost.

But that person's ability could also be considered extraordinary.

After all, Fengxi Daoren and the others were such proud and arrogant female Cultivators; how could they tolerate sharing a husband with others?

Yet this Zhou Sui had managed to do it, which could be called an extraordinary method.

Of course, he did not feel there was anything wrong with it; instead, he considered it a matter of course.

As the future Human Emperor, it was normal to have three thousand beauties in the harem.

On the contrary, the more wives and concubines, the better, so as to ensure the prosperity of the imperial family.

Boom—!

Just at this moment, in the sky above, the Void split open, and streaks of enormous Void Cracks appeared.

From these Void rifts, vast amounts of black Tribulation Qi surged out.

These black Tribulation Qi gathered together, forming massive, thick dark clouds; at the same time, gale winds howled and thunder rumbled, covering ten million kilometers in the blink of an eye.

An aura suppressed to the extreme shrouded all directions, spreading for ten million kilometers.

It was as if countless evil ghosts between heaven and earth were wailing and howling, crying incessantly.

It made people feel palpitations, their entire bodies trembling and shivering uncontrollably.

"What is happening? Could someone be undergoing a tribulation?"

"Even if it is a tribulation, the momentum is far too massive."

Numerous Human Cultivators were stunned; they looked up at the sky and immediately saw infinite Tribulation Lightning gathering above, presenting five different colors.

Seen from afar, it appeared exceptionally beautiful and moving, yet it was incomparably dangerous.

They instinctively felt as if a great disaster were arriving, as if any random bolt of Tribulation Lightning striking down from the sky would cause them to perish and vanish, impossible to resist.

"This is no ordinary Thunder Tribulation; it should be the Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation, the Five-Colored Lightning Tribulation."

"Some also call it the Five Elements Lightning Tribulation, with infinite power."

"I don't know how many Integration and Great Vehicle Cultivators have died under this kind of tribulation."

"If I am not mistaken, this is someone ascending to the Great Vehicle Realm, which is why they have triggered the Five Elements Lightning Tribulation."

Shensuan Daoren's pupils contracted, his heart shaken beyond measure.

In the past years, he had seen such a scene several times.

But apart from the Human Emperor, everyone else had died under the Five Elements Lightning Tribulation, turning into ashes.

"Someone is ascending to Great Vehicle? Who exactly is it?"

The crowd's hearts were filled with shock; they were not fools and immediately realized just how massive this matter was.

If someone could survive the Five Elements Lightning Tribulation, it would mean that a Great Vehicle Cultivator would be born to the Human Race.

This was an incredible event.

"Need you ask? Naturally, it is Lord Feng Xi."

"Having been in seclusion for three hundred years, gathering strength, he is finally about to trigger the Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation."

Yin Tianxi said with deep emotion, his eyes filled with immense excitement and anticipation.

Having waited for such a long time, he had finally seen the news of Fengxi Daoren undergoing the tribulation.

This was also something that countless Qianmiao Secret Realm Cultivators had long looked forward to.

However, when he truly saw the Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation appear, his heart was incomparably calm, as if it were a natural outcome.

"Senior Shensuan, can Lord Feng Xi successfully ascend to Great Vehicle?"

Many people asked impatiently, looking at Shensuan Daoren.

After all, Shensuan Daoren was a veteran Integration Great Power who had lived for twenty-eight thousand years.

If there was anyone present familiar with the Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation, besides Shensuan Daoren, there was no one else.

"It is difficult, too difficult."

"The reason why it is so difficult for an Integration Great Power to ascend to the Great Vehicle Realm, to the point that even the True Spirit Race has few who have done it,"

"is because ascending to Great Vehicle requires going through three steps in total."

"The first step is naturally breaking through the Great Vehicle bottleneck, which requires condensing an Origin Spirit Dao Seed."

"This step alone is already a natural chasm, sufficient to block more than seventy percent of Integration Great Powers."

"If one cannot even condense an Origin Spirit Dao Seed, then there is no need to speak of triggering the Great Vehicle tribulation."

Shensuan Daoren said with a sigh.

He himself was trapped at this step, unable to condense an Origin Spirit Dao Seed for a long time.

This was because he had leaked too many Heavenly Dao secrets, leading to a backlash from the Heavenly Dao and a weakened primordial spirit.

To condense an Origin Spirit Dao Seed, one must compensate for the emptiness of the primordial spirit and strengthen their Primordial Spirit Power.

Yet, there are too few Seven-Tier Spiritual Medicines in the world capable of replenishing the primordial spirit.

Even if such a spiritual medicine truly existed, he would have no way to obtain it, even if he exhausted his entire fortune.

"What about the second and third steps? What are they like?"

The crowd pressed on.

"The second step is naturally the Heart Demon Tribulation, and the third step is the Five Elements Lightning Tribulation."

"But the most terrifying point of the Great Vehicle Realm tribulation is that the Heart Demon Tribulation and the Five Elements Lightning Tribulation appear simultaneously."

"If it were the Transformation God Lightning Tribulation or the Refining Void Lightning Tribulation, cultivators could undergo the Heart Demon Tribulation first, then trigger the lightning tribulation."

"But the Great Vehicle tribulation is different; these two tribulations appear at the same time."

"Just imagine the terror of the Great Vehicle Heart Demon Tribulation; even a Great Vehicle Cultivator finds it hard to shake off the erosion of the heart demon in a short time, but at this moment, the Five Elements Lightning Tribulation descends as well."

"In this way, the person undergoing the tribulation is almost certainly doomed to die."

"Therefore, many heaven-defying level Integration Great Powers, even if they have the opportunity to condense an Origin Spirit Dao Seed, dare not easily attempt the tribulation."

"Once they attempt it, they will perish and vanish."

Shensuan Daoren's expression was very solemn.

This is the true reason why even Integration Great Powers of the True Spirit Race find it difficult to ascend to Great Vehicle.

The Great Vehicle Realm tribulation is truly too hard to survive; the vast majority of cultivators will fall under the tribulation.

"Too terrifying; if that is the case, how did those Great Vehicle Cultivators survive the tribulation and successfully ascend?" Many cultivators felt their scalps go numb after hearing these words.

Having the Heart Demon Tribulation and the lightning tribulation descend simultaneously is simply asking for death.

Just having a single tribulation descend is already a very troublesome matter.

Let alone having them descend at the same time; they could not think of any way to survive the Great Vehicle tribulation—it simply leaves no path for survival.

It is hard for them to imagine how those Great Vehicle Cultivators managed to survive the tribulation.

"Relying solely on oneself, it is impossible to ascend to the Great Vehicle."

"To survive the Great Vehicle tribulation, one must rely on external objects."

"For example, certain Great Vehicle spiritual items that can help resist the Heart Demon, or special Dharma Treasures."

"Mysterious Heaven Treasures that can resist the Five Elements Lightning Tribulation, Immortal Artifacts, and so on."

"The problem is that every such tribulation-surviving treasure is worth a fortune, and even with money, they cannot be bought."

"They are basically monopolized by the True Spirit Race."

"Therefore, Great Vehicle Cultivators from weak races are all people with immense Luck; one could say they are uniquely favored by heaven."

"If it were not so, our Human Race would not have only one Great Vehicle born in every era."

Shensuan Daoren said in a deep voice, detailing the intricacies of the difficulty of ascending to the Great Vehicle.

Although this was indeed top-secret information, the people present were all Human Cultivators, so it would not matter even if it leaked out.

If someone were to gain something from it, it would actually be a good thing.

"This."

The many Human Cultivators were speechless, not knowing what to say.

Before, they only knew of the difficulty of ascending to the Great Vehicle, but they had not expected it to be to this extent.

Now it seems that Fengxi Daoren triggering the Great Vehicle tribulation might not necessarily be a good thing; perhaps she will perish in the tribulation.

After all, in the past hundred thousand years of the Human Race, it was not as if no one had tried to trigger the Great Vehicle tribulation.

Yet the only one who truly succeeded in surviving the tribulation was the Human Emperor.

"Rest assured, there is no need to worry about anything."

"Fengxi Daoren will certainly be able to survive the tribulation and ascend to the Great Vehicle."

"The foundation of our Qianmiao Secret Realm is not just limited to this."

Yin Tianxi was calm and composed, full of confidence in Fengxi Daoren.

What?!

Hearing this, Shensuan Daoren's eyes flickered, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind; he did not know why Yin Tianxi was so confident, but judging from the Luck at the scene, it was indeed a sign of great auspiciousness, seemingly without any danger.

Perhaps Fengxi Daoren could truly succeed in surviving the Great Vehicle tribulation and ascend to the Great Vehicle.

…………

Time moves back slightly.

City Lord Mansion, a Cave Abode.

This is exactly where Fengxi Daoren is in seclusion to cultivate.

Rumble~~

One could see the entire Cave Abode gathering infinite Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, like a black hole.

Fortunately, this is the source of an Eighth-Order Spirit Vein, coupled with the supply of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi from many Spirit Vein Flowers; otherwise, it would not be enough for Fengxi Daoren to devour, and thus the ascension might have failed.

This is also the reason why Eighth-Order Spirit Veins are basically occupied by the True Spirit Race.

If there were no Eighth-Order Spirit Vein, it would be very difficult for an Integration Stage to ascend to the Great Vehicle.

"As expected of the Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill, the medicinal effect is too fierce."

"After three hundred years of quiet cultivation, I have finally condensed the Origin Spirit Dao Seed."

Fengxi Daoren opened her eyes, very excited.

Clearly, only by condensing the Origin Spirit Dao Seed can one be considered to have truly stepped into the Great Vehicle Realm, crossing the bottleneck of the Integration Realm.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to even trigger the Great Vehicle Realm tribulation.

However, with the help of the Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill, the difficulty of her condensing the Origin Spirit Dao Seed decreased significantly.

She was also deeply moved by the effect of this Eight-Tier Pill.

If the many Integration Stage of the Human Race possessed the Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill, then there would be more than just this one Human Great Vehicle.

This is the importance of pills.

After all, there are simply too few cultivators who can ascend to the Great Vehicle based on their own aptitude and cultivation alone.

The vast majority of Integration Stage need to rely on external objects to ascend.

This is not a shameful thing either.

"Next is to trigger the Great Vehicle tribulation."

"As long as I survive the tribulation, then I will be a true Great Vehicle Cultivator."

Fengxi Daoren clenched her small fists, very excited.

Whoosh!

Since this is not the place for tribulation, she took the Teleportation Array from here and arrived at Dujie Island in the blink of an eye.

This is the Dujie Island dedicated to Zhou Sui and the others.

The entire island is uninhabited; it is a barren island, bare and empty, with many pits appearing on the ground.

Clearly, it has also experienced several lightning tribulations in the past, scarred and battered.

In an instant, Fengxi Daoren looked up and immediately saw a Void Crack, dark clouds gathering, and the tribulation arrived with a boom.

…………

Without a doubt, the appearance of the Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation also completely shocked the entire Qianmiao Secret Realm.

For the Human Cultivators in the Qianmiao Secret Realm, this is an unprecedented major event.

If a Great Vehicle were born in the Qianmiao Secret Realm now, the benefits would be imaginable.

Immediately, in the Dream World, many Human Cultivators knew about this matter at the first moment.

Since the appearance of the Dream World, the speed at which the Human Race exchanges information has become countless times faster.

Even if something happens in a small place, the news will spread everywhere.

"Lord Feng Xi has triggered the Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation and is about to ascend to the Great Vehicle Realm."

Someone was ecstatic and immediately spread this news.

"I had long heard that Lord Feng Xi was in secluded cultivation, going all out to reach the Great Vehicle Realm; now I have indeed heard the news."

"This is truly wonderful."

"Once Lord Feng Xi becomes a Great Vehicle Cultivator, our Human Race will have one more Great Vehicle Loose Immortal."

Many people were extremely excited.

Although they are currently living in the Qianmiao Secret Realm and can be considered relatively safe, having not encountered any outside enemies.

But it is better to be safe than sorry.

If they were to accidentally encounter an invasion by Alien cultivators, it would still be very troublesome without the protection of a Great Vehicle Cultivator.

Therefore, Fengxi Daoren ascending to the Great Vehicle Realm is a great piece of good news for every Human Cultivator.

"But it is said that ascending to the Great Vehicle Realm is fraught with disasters, and the number of cultivators who have fallen under the Thunder Tribulation is simply countless."

"I wonder if Lord Feng Xi can pass through safely?"

"That's right, I think Lord Feng Xi could have waited a bit longer to undergo the tribulation; it's still too early now."

"Isn't that so? Lord Feng Xi is less than ten thousand years old; it is said that even for cultivators of the True Spirit Race, it takes one or two tens of thousands of years to ascend to the Great Vehicle Realm."

The crowd discussed it heatedly.

They were still more or less worried that Fengxi Daoren would fail and fall under the Thunder Tribulation.

After all, this is the famous Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation.

The number of cultivators who have fallen under this kind of Thunder Tribulation is simply countless.

Even among cultivators born of the True Spirit Race, a great many geniuses have died.

Therefore, this kind of matter requires extreme caution.

Unless one has absolute certainty, one cannot take such risks.

"Rest assured, Lord Feng Xi is a peerless genius; if she didn't have absolute certainty, how would she trigger the Thunder Tribulation?"

"That's right, don't you understand Lord Feng Xi's abilities? She is definitely one of the Integration Great Powers in our Human Race with the most hope of ascending to the Great Vehicle Realm."

"More importantly, Lord Zhou Sui will not stand idly by either; he has likely made full preparations long ago. We just need to wait and see, there is no need to worry about anything."

Many people were full of confidence in Fengxi Daoren, feeling that Fengxi Daoren would have no problems undergoing the tribulation this time.

The reason they are so confident, besides their high recognition of Fengxi Daoren's aptitude and strength, is more importantly because of that legendary figure of the Qianmiao Secret Realm, Lord Zhou Sui.

It is precisely because of this figure, who is like an immortal descended to earth, that they have the life they have today.

In the past, he even created countless miracles.

They feel that a mere Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation should not be able to stump that lord.

…………

At this very moment, inside the City Lord Mansion.

The four women, Bai Sujie, Hua Siqing, Shi Yuxi, and Tao Qili, were also sitting in the courtyard; they cast the Water Mirror Technique to reflect the place where Fengxi Daoren was, and they could clearly see the scene of Fengxi Daoren undergoing the tribulation.

This divine ability and technique comes from the Flying Crane Clan and is a water-type divine ability.

Once this technique is cast, one can leave a water-type divine ability seed in a certain place; such a seed will turn into a mirror, like a surveillance camera, transmitting everything happening in this place back.

Thereby allowing people countless miles away to see the scene in this place.

So even without stepping out of the house, one can know things happening hundreds of millions of miles away.

It can be said to be a profound divine ability and technique.

Evidently, after ascending to the Integration Realm, the three women Bai Sujie, Hua Siqing, and Shi Yuxi seem to have become even more perfect in body, with astonishing temperaments, curvaceous figures, and infinite charm.

They are simply like fairies, unstained by any dust.

"Is this the Five Elements Lightning Tribulation of the Great Vehicle Realm? It is truly too terrifying."

Bai Sujie said with great emotion.

Through the Water Mirror Technique, she immediately saw the sky covered with tribulation clouds, with five colors of tribulation thunder emerging: golden gold thunder, green wood thunder, blue water thunder, red fire thunder, yellow earth thunder, and so on.

These five tribulation thunders of different attributes gathered together, simply endless and infinitely profound.

When combined, they contain even more infinite murderous intent.

Even at a distance of countless miles, she could still perceive the terror of the Five Elements Tribulation Thunder.

Any random strike would be enough to make her vanish into ashes.

Originally, she thought that after ascending to the Integration Realm, her cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds and she should be able to slightly resist the Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation.

But looking at it now, she is still far from it.

Now it is just the beginning.

"I wonder if Fengxi Sister can withstand this Five Elements Tribulation Thunder?"

Shi Yuxi was very worried.

Although she knows that Fengxi Daoren has astonishing talent, peerless combat power, and an incomparably rich Phoenix Bloodline, passing the Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation should not be a big problem.

But who knows if any accidents will occur?

Under the Heavenly Tribulation, anything is possible.

"Rest assured, what kind of person is Fengxi Sister? How could a mere Great Vehicle Thunder Tribulation possibly do anything to her?"

"We just need to wait in peace for the news of Fengxi Sister's successful tribulation."

"Very soon, Fengxi Sister will be a Great Vehicle Cultivator."

Hua Siqing comforted her.

She felt deeply moved, for one must know that the Great Vehicle Realm was a state that was once beyond reach.

Even with Fengxi Daoren's past aptitude, it was hard to say whether she could become a Great Vehicle.

It was not as if the Human Race had not produced geniuses more outstanding than Fengxi Daoren before.

Even the Human Emperor had placed high hopes on them.

But unfortunately, they still died under the Thunder Tribulation.

This is how the might of Heaven is difficult to fathom.

"That is correct, even if Feng Xi is unable to survive the Five Elements Lightning Tribulation."

"Have you forgotten about Husband?"

"Husband will certainly assist from the side, so there will be no major problems at all."

Tao Qili smiled slightly.

The reason she had such confidence in Fengxi Daoren was naturally because of her own husband, Zhou Sui.

If it were this man, then there was nothing that could not be accomplished.

Even assisting Fengxi Daoren to successfully survive the Five Elements Lightning Tribulation.

"If Husband assists, then Fengxi Sister is indeed absolutely safe."

Bai Sujie also acknowledged this point.

When she survived her Integration Thunder Tribulation before, she had also received a little help from her husband.

That was why she was able to survive the Integration Thunder Tribulation without any danger and successfully ascend to the early stage of the Integration Realm.

Therefore, she was very clear that her husband's abilities were indeed vast and miraculous.
