Chapter 997: Immortal Talisman, Tribulation Crossing
“Come here!”
He Pingsheng looked at the three of them, reached out, and pulled out six jade talismans.
Three were red, three were green!
“What are these?” asked Dalun Mingwang, curious.
He Pingsheng said: “These are first-rank [Sensing Immortal Talismans]…”
“One red and one green form a pair!”
“Once activated, you can sense each other’s location at any time!”
“But the sensing range is limited!”
“It’s not infinite!”
“Now… I’ll activate them all with you three. Even if we ascend to the Immortal Realm and land in different places, we’ll eventually trigger the link—and then I can find you!”
He Pingsheng originally couldn’t have drawn these talismans.
But since he successfully transformed his true essence into immortal qi, all his inner spiritual energy had become immortal spiritual energy, and the problem was solved.
He used skin from a scattered immortal to make the talisman paper, and blood from a scattered immortal to make the ink—and thus drew the Sensing Immortal Talismans.
But the sensing range was very small.
He Pingsheng then placed them inside the Treasure Basin, entered the [Momentary Time Array] to accelerate time, and strengthened them into supreme-grade.
As a result, the sensing distance became extremely long.
But just how far, he still had no idea.
Of course, this Immortal Talisman had another function—one He Pingsheng didn’t mention.
That was, if the other person perished, they would sense it.
“Here!”
He Pingsheng pulled out three green Immortal Talismans and said: “One each… activate immediately!”
Boom…
Boom…
Boom…
The three activated the talismans and stuck them to their bodies.
He Pingsheng also activated the three red Immortal Talismans and stuck them to himself.
As soon as they were attached, he felt a faint connection to them, clearly sensing their exact positions.
The sensation was strange.
“I won’t wait for you two!” He Pingsheng reached out and gently patted Su Zhenzhen and Zhou Qingmei.
The two nodded obediently.
Dalun Mingwang asked: “Husband, are you ready?”
He Pingsheng said: “Ready. I’m ascending now!”
"But I think you should go first—I can't feel at ease ascending until I see you do it."
Kong Jiaojiao nodded: “Alright!”
Next, He Pingsheng pulled out nearly everything he carried.
The blood-colored turtle shell, the Time Array, the Space-Time Golden Banner, eight Blue Sea Thunder Pearls, various talismans, cultivation scriptures—all tossed to Su Zhenzhen, Xihu, and Zhou Qingmei.
And countless supreme-grade spirit stones!
He kept only six items.
First: the Treasure Basin!
Second: the Primordial Purple Gold Rod!
Third: the bronze mask.
Fourth: the Qianyuan Golden Dipper!
Fifth: jade slips from various Immortal Sects!
Sixth: the forty-plus Immortal Crystals!
Seventh: various Immortal-grade alchemy materials.
And a few eighth- and ninth-rank defensive talismans, meant to resist the heavenly tribulation.
He Pingsheng originally didn’t want to bring the Qianyuan Golden Dipper—it would likely be useless in the Immortal Realm.
But he couldn’t risk it falling into the hands of someone with ill intent, who might use it to drain the world’s fortune energy.
That would bring endless calamity!
So he had to bring it.
As for the Primordial Purple Gold Rod, the Underworld Empress hadn’t taken it to the Immortal Realm because she couldn’t carry it up.
But He Pingsheng was different!
He had the Treasure Basin.
He believed the Treasure Basin had at least a fifty percent chance of being brought into the Immortal Realm.
Of course, it might still fail.
“Let’s go!” With all preparations complete, He Pingsheng took Dalun Mingwang and flew outward.
They found a desolate, nearly lifeless mountain peak and began their tribulation.
“I’ll warn you,” He Pingsheng said: “When ascending, all items are stripped away—including your cultivation robe. So… when you ascend, use your magic power and rule-force to form a robe yourself, not wear actual clothing!”
Dalun Mingwang’s cheeks flushed slightly: “What’s the worry… only you’ve seen me—you’ve seen it before!”
He Pingsheng frowned: “Won’t you be worried in the Immortal Realm?”
“Hmph…” Dalun Mingwang glared at him. “Don’t worry—I’m already wearing a formed robe!”
Boom…
Boom…
She swallowed a supreme-grade Ascension Elixir. Instantly, dark clouds gathered above her head.
The entire sky turned black.
Countless lightning forces coalesced, writhing like silver dragons.
The first wave of tribulation lightning struck!
It wasn’t very strong.
Since Dalun Mingwang’s clones no longer existed—only her true body remained—her tribulation’s intensity hadn’t doubled.
One wave!
Two waves!
Three waves!
…
Soon, the tribulation ended.
Dalun Mingwang was lifted by countless immortal spiritual energies and golden creation light, ascending into the heavens.
“Husband… see you in the Immortal Realm!”
With her final words, her body vanished atop the rainbow spanning the sky.
Huh…
He Pingsheng exhaled deeply. After the tribulation clouds and lightning vanished, he stood on the very spot where Dalun Mingwang had ascended.
To be honest, He Pingsheng was nervous.
After all, his five clones were still alive.
That meant during the tribulation, he would endure six times the lightning’s force.
And his normal tribulation was the Nine-Nine Annihilation Lightning.
“I hope I can withstand it.”
At this moment, He Pingsheng had no defensive magic treasures.
Because magic treasures wouldn’t work.
For example, the blood-colored turtle shell was useless to him.
It could barely block a scattered immortal’s strike—but it couldn’t stop heavenly tribulation.
He took a deep breath and swallowed a supreme-grade [Ascension Elixir].
Boom…
The next instant, the entire world turned black.
The tribulation clouds gathered across the entire heavens.
A million li around were covered by the tribulation clouds.
“Damn…” He Pingsheng couldn’t help cursing: “This strong?”
“Will the first wave kill me?”
He Pingsheng had no defensive magic treasures.
But he carried many talismans.
Eighth- and ninth-rank ones.
So even for the first wave, he didn’t dare meet it with his bare body.
Boom…
He stirred his spiritual sense, and instantly a golden defensive light membrane appeared outside his body.
The eighth-rank defensive talisman was activated.
The next moment, nine heavenly lightning bolts struck the thousand-zhang-wide light membrane.
In an instant, the defensive glow was torn apart.
The remaining lightning force surged into He Pingsheng’s body.
He Pingsheng did not activate the Divine Manifestation technique; he accepted the residual force of the first lightning strike with his bare body.
Fortunately, he was unharmed!
Thus, He Pingsheng now had some understanding of the lightning’s power.
The first wave equaled the force of a Transcendent’s ordinary strike.
Now he was reassured—it wasn’t that strong!
If he used his body to endure it, he should be able to withstand three or four waves without trouble?
