Chapter 162: 【Law of Heaven and Earth, Such is the Karma】 (First update, seeking)

Upon hearing the name "Xuanjizi," the high-level cultivators of the Five Peaks Immortal Sect were all stunned, subconsciously frowning.

It was truly because, during this period, there were too many Xuanjizis swindling people; one Nascent Soul cultivator of the Five Peaks Immortal Sect had even been deceived, which was too shameful.

But the person was hovering above the Five Peaks Immortal Sect, and the aura displayed was not ordinary.

To be so high-profile and specifically name a Second Tribulation Heavenly Monarch to meet—it did not look like a fake.

"Kunshan Daoren is here; please sit, fellow Daoist!"

Kunshan Daoren was a middle-aged man with disheveled hair wearing a black long robe; he looked just like a farmhand, not like a cultivator.

He set out a stone table and spirit tea in the courtyard in front of his cave dwelling, inviting Xuanjizi to take the seat of honor.

Lu Runping arrived before the stone table and sat down; a formation rose up around them, isolating everything here.

For a Supreme Elder at the level of a Tribulation Heavenly Monarch, having such a formation in their residence was standard; Kunshan Daoren activated the formation not because he feared his conversation with Xuanjizi would be known by others, but because he thought that if the other party were a swindler, he would have to leave him behind no matter what today.

The Xuanjizi, transformed from Lu Runping's avatar, revealed a smile and said directly:

"More than thirty years ago, an unknown evil aura appeared, causing the Wanling Immortal Sect's guardian exotic beast, Canchan Laozu, to be infected, its strength to break through, and its madness to erupt.

Since then, dozens of similar incidents, large and small, have occurred throughout Donghua Zhenzhou.

This is not a coincidence.

I have not yet tracked down the truth, but I have already sensed a future disaster, so I need to fulfill my duty.

Back then, the previous generation of Xuanjizi gave Yangming Xianren of the Qingyang Immortal Sect a Supernatural Power, allowing him to finally slay the Great Marsh Demon Immortal and avoid a demonic chaos.

He also gave the gifted disciple Lv Gong of the Tianyu Immortal Sect a secret technique, allowing him to go directly from a Second Tribulation Heavenly Monarch to a Land Immortal.

Now, I have found you; you are the first."

These words were spoken vaguely and mysteriously, so Kunshan Daoren subconsciously asked:

"What are you looking for me for?"

Lu Runping said solemnly:

"I foresee that this disaster may have a very wide scope and that perhaps even if all the Land Immortals of Donghua Zhenzhou join forces, they will not be able to do anything to it, so I want to help you achieve the status of a Land Immortal."

Kunshan Daoren suddenly laughed, saying while laughing:

"You, you are helping me become a Land Immort—"

Halfway through his laughter, his voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes widened, because he felt the aura of the Land Immortal level released from the Xuanjizi in front of him.

"You, Xuanjizi, are a Land Immortal?"

Lu Runping shook his head and said:

"It is not that Xuanjizi is a Land Immortal, but that I was originally a Land Immortal and later became Xuanjizi. The Daoist name Xuanjizi carries great karma; if it weren't for the fact that once it falls on someone's head, it cannot be shaken off, I would not want to step forward."

Kunshan Daoren immediately stood up, bowed respectfully, and said:

"I was offensive just now; I ask for your forgiveness, Senior! I do not know how you intend to help me achieve the status of a Land Immortal, as you mentioned?"

Lu Runping took out a Dao Seed of Supernatural Power and handed it to Kunshan Daoren.

"It is very simple. After refining it, you will obtain a Great Supernatural Power. With this power, you will have no fear of the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, or you may rely on the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation to achieve the realm of a Land Immortal in one fell swoop."

Kunshan Daoren did not doubt him; he took the Dao Seed, swallowed and refined it, and then a Great Supernatural Power appeared in his mind.

【Law of Heaven and Earth】

The essence of this Supernatural Power is one word: Big!

If the body is big enough, the strength is big enough; verify the Dao with strength, and break ten thousand laws with one force.

It has a fundamental difference from 【Size at Will】.

The latter is to let the primordial spirit and physical body change as one wishes; every time it increases or decreases, it is a fundamental change.

The former, however, consumes the power of the primordial spirit to crazily expand the physical body; it can be as big as it can be. Except for the core of the main body, it is equivalent to putting on countless layers of armor.

The external Dharma form being damaged has absolutely no effect; it just consumes a bit of energy.

Relying on this method, those with strong physical bodies will become even stronger, strong enough to withstand the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation head-on!

Feeling the power of this Supernatural Power, Kunshan Daoren had no more doubts about the identity of the Xuanjizi in front of him and immediately bowed again, saying:

"Many thanks to Senior for the help. I will certainly not stand idly by regarding the matter of the evil aura! Junior will go to undergo the tribulation first."

Lu Runping then followed him to the wilderness behind the Five Peaks Immortal Sect.

Kunshan Daoren released his aura, and immediately, large patches of tribulation clouds gathered, forming a thunder field range.

The powerful energy fluctuations of the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation immediately attracted the attention of other cultivators of the Five Peaks Immortal Sect, and many Heavenly Monarchs came nearby to watch.

They were very strange; why did this Kunshan Daoren immediately want to undergo the tribulation just after meeting Xuanjizi? Could it be that he was fooled by the other party?

Since things had reached this point, everyone could only pray that Kunshan Daoren would succeed in the tribulation; otherwise, losing a Second Tribulation Heavenly Monarch would be a major accident for the sect.

Back then, the Tianyu Immortal Sect lost two Second Tribulation Heavenly Monarchs in succession, and their luck dropped to a very low level.

If it hadn't been for that gifted disciple Lv Gong receiving help from Xuanjizi, I am afraid the Tianyu Immortal Sect would have declined very quickly.

Although the Five Peaks Immortal Sect does not have a Land Immortal now, these Tribulation Heavenly Monarchs can also hold up the scene; even if their luck decreases, it will not fall off a cliff.

Their development is still acceptable.

But losing a Second Tribulation Heavenly Monarch would mean losing a large portion of their luck.

The Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation began, and the thunder descended!

The first nine heavenly tribulations were easily passed by relying on the toughness of the Five Peaks Immortal Sect's physical body and the protection of Dharma Treasures.

But the middle nine tribulation thunders clearly began to become strenuous, and in the second half, he was even beaten until his aura weakened.

Seeing this, someone in the Five Peaks Immortal Sect sighed:

"It seems Kunshan was deceived by that fake Xuanjizi. To start the tribulation so hastily, it is a narrow escape from death!"

At this moment, however, they saw Kunshan Daoren put away his Dharma Treasures, and then his aura underwent a huge change.

His figure began to expand; from the size of a normal person, he became a giant five zhang tall within a single breath, and in the next breath, he grew to ten zhang, and in the blink of an eye, he reached a size of a hundred zhang!

Supernatural Power 【Law of Heaven and Earth】, the Dharma form has condensed and completed.

At this moment, Kunshan Daoren's aura surged to about ten times its original level; facing the final nine tribulation lightning bolts, he was not the least bit afraid, and actually caught the first falling lightning bolt with one hand.

Boom!

As if it were the heavens roaring at this act of provocation, accompanied by a massive thunderous sound, terrifying lightning descended once more.

This time, Kunshan Daoren let the lightning land directly upon his Dharma Form.

The Dharma Form did not sway in the slightest.

And Kunshan Daoren, inside, used the Dharma Form to absorb the power of the lightning to temper his own physical body, causing his strength to improve further.

His physical body's strength also rose to the level of a Top-Grade Spirit Tool, but it was still quite far from achieving immortality through the physical body.

The path of achieving immortality through the physical body is extremely difficult to walk; even tempering the body with the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation could not reach that point, so Kunshan Daoren did not obsess over forcing his physical body to transform, but instead guided the lightning to temper his own primordial spirit, thereby allowing himself to gain the ability to control the Qi of Immortal Spirits.

After all nine terrifying tribulation lightning bolts had fallen, Kunshan Daoren's Dharma Form still stood stubbornly.

A profound aura emerged; Kunshan Daoren's primordial spirit directly utilized the power of the lightning to complete its transformation, and he grasped a wisp of the Qi of Immortal Spirits, leaping over the level of a Three-Tribulation Heavenly Monarch in one stroke to become a Terrestrial Immortal!

Everyone who felt this aura revealed expressions of astonishment; in fact, they had already been shocked when they saw that hundred-foot giant figure.

When did this guy possess such methods?

Unanimously, everyone looked toward Xuanjizi, who was watching the tribulation not far away.

This matter must be related to him.

Sure enough, after Kunshan Daoren, who had directly achieved the status of a Terrestrial Immortal, laughed heartily three times, he came before Xuanjizi and respectfully thanked him again.

"Many thanks, Senior!"

Xuanjizi smiled and said:

"No need to thank me; taking my things requires paying a price. Cultivate well; if you can survive this crisis and ascend to the Upper Realm, perhaps there will be some fortuitous encounter."

Lu Runping said this on purpose; he naturally knew nothing about any fortuitous encounter, he was just giving Kunshan Daoren a thought to hold onto so he wouldn't be lazy and would cultivate hard, so that he could ascend sooner.

What he needed was the Dao Fruit of a True Immortal, not the Dao Fruit of a Terrestrial Immortal.

Therefore, he did not want Kunshan Daoren to die in the Lower Realm; it would be best if he kicked the bucket in the Upper Realm, which would count as settling the karma.

Without his help, Kunshan Daoren might have been trapped at the Two-Tribulation Heavenly Monarch level for a lifetime, or perhaps died under the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, with at most four or five thousand years of lifespan; if he could die after ascending, he would have already profited.

Lu Runping felt no guilt in his heart; such is karma.

I help you achieve immortality and ascend, you give me the Dao Fruit; it is reasonable and fair.

Upon hearing this, Kunshan Daoren immediately guaranteed:

"Senior, rest assured; if a crisis descends, this junior will certainly spare no effort to protect the common people!"

Lu Runping nodded and turned, taking a single step, and his figure vanished from where he stood; even with Kunshan Daoren's cultivation at the Terrestrial Immortal level, he was unable to detect how he had disappeared.

A sentence remained in mid-air.

"Cultivate with focus, and take care of yourself."

The remaining Heavenly Monarchs of the Five Peaks Immortal Sect gathered around one after another, first expressing their congratulations to Kunshan Daoren, and then asking:

"Is that person really Xuanjizi? It is said that Xuanjizi has the cultivation of the Dao Integration Realm, but this person's cultivation seems impossible to perceive; could it be?"

Kunshan Daoren immediately explained the issue of Xuanjizi's inheritance to everyone; upon learning that the contemporary Xuanjizi was a reclusive Terrestrial Immortal who had only emerged to save the world due to the mandate of heaven, everyone was stunned.

"So this Xuanjizi actually has so many secrets. Speaking of which, there has been no news of the Heaven-Splitting Corpse King for a long time; has he already been eliminated by Xuanjizi?"

Someone thought of a previous disturbance and couldn't help but speak up.

Kunshan Daoren shook his head and said:

"That is unknown. But one thing is certain: the chaos of the evil aura will almost certainly appear, and it will have a very wide reach. Xuanjizi said he would comprehensively improve the strength of all Terrestrial Immortals to deal with the disaster.

Everyone should still prepare; I am going to pay a visit to the Jade Tripod Immortal of the Jade Tripod Immortal Sect."

Soon, the news that Kunshan Daoren of the Five Peaks Immortal Sect had accepted Xuanjizi's help to go from a Two-Tribulation Heavenly Monarch to a Terrestrial Immortal in one breath, and that the contemporary Xuanjizi was a Terrestrial Immortal, spread rapidly!
