From Covering the Sky, I Became a Transcendent
Chapter 165: Heavenly Tribulation Skill, Half Saint, 9th Level Pill Recipe
That’s right, this is the ancient tomb of Dujie Tianzun, or in other words, a burial ground.
Dujie Tianzun, the first person to attain enlightenment after the chaotic ancient times, the first Tianzun in the mythological era, the founder of the glory of Tianzun, has endless legends about him in the world.
“Overcoming the tribulation.”
At the same time, the Saint King from the Divine Organization also shouted out the words on the tombstone with a look of shock. This was an extremely ancient and awe-inspiring name.
He didn’t expect that there was a tomb of the Heavenly Master on this ancient star. He originally thought that it was just a small world casually built by a great emperor when he passed through the Eternal Star Domain.
This is the ancient Heavenly Lord who lived more than 10 million years ago. At that time, let alone the eternal kingdom, even the heaven did not exist.
“Reincarnate here and then turn into the Lord of the Underworld?” Si Chen thought.
When Cao Yusheng woke up again, it was the end of the mythological era. He later proved his truth through both corpse arts and source arts, established the underworld, and became the master of Emperor Zun.
Duan De was still mumbling to himself: “Tianzun Dujie, what a familiar name.”
At this moment, everyone who entered the secret realm went crazy. This was the tomb of an extremely powerful person. They knew what was inside without thinking. There must be supreme scriptures and secret techniques, as well as many divine objects.
As long as we can get a little bit, we can refine high-level evolutionary liquid, and Eternal’s technology may be able to make rapid progress again and no longer be stuck at the Great Sage level.
“brush!”
Among these big clans, saints appeared one after another, no longer hiding behind the scenes, but quickly came to the side of the ancient tomb and began searching.
As a saint, he naturally knew that there was a small world in this ancient tomb, and the true inheritance should be inside.
“How do we get in?”
This group of saints realized that the ancient tomb was protected by extremely powerful laws. Even the holy weapons handed down from generation to generation would find it difficult to shake it in the slightest. They were helpless for the time being.
The saint from the Heng family had a flickering look in his eyes. He suggested that everyone think of a solution together, and quickly sent a message to the clan, asking people to bring the god’s immortal clothes.
Now that it has been confirmed that this is the tomb of the mythical ancient deity, we must use the divine tools.
During this period, several saints refused to give up and controlled the Saint King Mechas to attack together, but they were unable to break the ban.
So the situation was at a stalemate, and the strong men of the Divine Organization were also contacting the headquarters, hoping to get support.
Si Chen’s expression changed, and he prepared to take advantage of this opportunity to mobilize the imperial army and force his way in.
He is not interested in ordinary emperors, but the Tribulation Heavenly Venerable is an exception, after all, he is a little special.
He was also very curious about what was in this person’s tomb.
“Wait a moment.”
Duan De shuddered for some reason and said hesitantly, “I think I have a way to get in.”
Si Chen was very surprised. Coming to this former burial ground, this guy might have remembered something.
Duan De was not sure either. Just now, a passage of scripture suddenly emerged in his mind.
He recited softly with a solemn expression, Taoist light flowing on his body. He was like a Taoist ancestor sitting cross-legged in the sky. The stars were turned upside down and the chaotic air was hazy.
The fat Taoist’s brows glowed, and a divine light flew out, making a clanging sound, as if it came from the beginning of time and merged with the stone tablet beside the ancient tomb.
“Buzz!”
The next moment, the stone tablet suddenly shone brightly, and a passage appeared, swallowing Si Chen and Duan De, and then quickly dissipated.
“what’s the situation?”
A group of saints were stunned. They only saw two figures go in at an extremely fast speed, leaving them no time to react.
The next second, the laws of the small world began to operate, and the eternal monks were teleported out.
……
Inside the ancient tomb is a mine, or it would be more accurate to say that there is only one passage.
Everywhere was gray, as if returning to the beginning of the world, when yin and yang had not yet been separated. There was thick chaotic mist and the roar of the avenue.
“This doesn’t look like a tomb, but rather a cave.” Duan De looked around and said dissatisfiedly. He thought there would be an astonishing divine treasure.
Si Chen was looking at the stone walls on both sides of the passage, on which some Taoist patterns of irregular shapes were randomly carved.
“This is…left by the Heavenly Lord of Tribulation.”
He looked at the stone wall, and the closer he looked, the more surprised he was, because every trace here had an indescribable charm of the great way, mysterious and unfathomable.
This was not done intentionally; it was just a casual carving, leaving behind some of his insights into the Tao in his later years.
But in the eyes of others, it contains the ultimate truth of the great Dao, which is obscure, difficult to understand, and extremely terrifying.
“Is this Chaos Stone?” Duan De only then recognized the origin of the stone wall. He widened his eyes and was very sad.
This is a bit extravagant. Although the immortal marrow inside the Chaos Stone is the most precious treasure, the stone itself is not bad. It is second only to immortal gold and can be used to refine quasi-imperial weapons.
However, it ended up being used by this Heavenly Lord as material for opening up a cave, which was such a waste.
“What a waste of natural resources!” Duan De said angrily, “This Tribulation Heavenly Venerable is really a piece of shit.”
But after cursing, Duan De always felt weird and uncomfortable all over.
Si Chen glanced at him and was speechless for a moment. Was this Taoist scolding himself?
I wonder what his expression will be when his memory temporarily recovers.
Going forward all the way, at the end of the passage is a huge ancient palace, filled with fairy air and endless vitality.
There was nothing else in the hall except an ancient coffin with a hint of the aura of the highest order.
However, this ancient coffin had been opened, as if it had been pushed open from the inside.
Before he got close, Duan De felt a pain in his heart, then the head was spinning and he lost consciousness.
Si Chen was startled and came to his side. He couldn’t see through the situation of this fat guy and could only roughly estimate that it seemed that his realm was about to improve again.
This is so unfair, others may not be able to break through a small realm even after working hard for decades, but this fat guy is about to break through in the blink of an eye.
You don’t even need to think about what path to follow, it will already be there.
If this kind of practice method were to be spread out, it would make a lot of people angry to death.
Si Chen no longer paid attention to him and began to observe the palace.
It was very simple here. Apart from the coffin, there were some ancient carvings around it, which were very mysterious and even emitted mist. However, they were completely different from the Dao patterns on the previous passage. These carvings were very specific, and each one had a restrained aura of the Dao, which was obviously not a casual work.
Si Chen slowed down his pace, his eyes flashing, breaking through the heavy mist and seeing dense runes on it. After putting his spiritual sense into it, he caught the pulsation of a strange avenue.
This is a scripture written in words from the mythological era. It is ancient and contains the rhyme of thousands of Taoism. Ordinary cultivators cannot understand it at all, and even saints find it difficult to comprehend it.
This scripture is not very long, but it has a special Taoist charm. It is different from the several imperial scriptures that Si Chen has mastered and is very unique.
“The Heavenly Art of Overcoming Tribulation!” Si Chen said softly.
“The Heavenly Tribulation Skill, this ancient method has always been flawed. No true scripture has ever appeared in the world. I didn’t expect it to appear here.”
The human-demon who was protecting him behind him also appeared, looking very surprised. It was obvious that he also knew something about this heavenly skill.
This is a kind of heavenly skill that has existed since ancient times. It is very famous and originated from an even more ancient mythological era.
However, it was not until the ancient times that it became popular. At that time, the human race had two major mother scriptures, named Taiyin and Taiyang. They are very old and have had a profound influence on later generations. Even the ancient emperors have been inspired by them.
The oldest is not necessarily the strongest, but the significance of the Mother Sutra is definitely extraordinary. It is respected by the world and has promoted the development of the human race.
During the ancient times, there was another kind of heavenly skill that was not necessarily later than the two mother scriptures, but it was lost and could not be passed down, so it is not known to people.
This is the case with the Heavenly Art of Overcoming Tribulations. This universe and star field is vast, and the Heavenly Masters and ancient emperors who have attained enlightenment must have visited many mysterious ancient places, so there is more than one ancient scripture that has been passed down from other star fields.
In fact, it is conceivable that the human race has an ancient heritage, and we don’t know where it originated. How could there be only two ancient methods, the lunar and solar, before the ancient times? Naturally, there must be other classics.
However, only these two scriptures have been passed down in a relatively complete manner.
Legend has it that the art of overcoming tribulations was created by a supreme Taoist deity. One must continually go through various tribulations throughout one’s life before finally achieving enlightenment.
The great emperors of ancient times read the lunar scriptures, observed the solar scriptures, read thousands of original ancient methods, absorbed the essence, experienced various hardships, realized the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, cut through thorns and bushes in their practice, and comprehended the path to becoming an emperor. Only then could they create methods and establish their own path.
Several great emperors in the past had sought this method, but of course no one had ever obtained the complete version, only fragments.
Even with such incredible luck as the ruthless emperor, he still couldn’t collect it all, and there was still a part missing.
What now appeared before Si Chen’s eyes was the flawless Heavenly Tribulation Skill. He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to comprehend it.
The mystery of this scripture is life and death, which is very helpful to him.
The Heavenly Art of Overcoming Tribulations requires continuous overcoming of tribulations, and the greatest tribulation that one must overcome is definitely the tribulation of death. However, even Cao Yusheng could not overcome this hurdle, even though he had already attained enlightenment.
Otherwise, if you can really survive the catastrophe of death, you will achieve immortality and become an immortal.
The difficulty of practicing the Heavenly Art of Crossing Tribulation is recognized by all. The human body has two energies, life and death. To practice this method, one needs to absorb the most yang energy in the thunder tribulation and cleanse the dead energy in order to achieve a major breakthrough.
Si Chen sighed and wished he would not be so anxious to break through.
Now he could only follow the mysterious method recorded in the Heavenly Art to draw out the chaotic thunder tribulation in this space to help himself comprehend.
But suddenly, Si Chen thought of a better help, so he moved his mind, attracted the afterimage of the “immortal fire” in the fairy platform, separated a wisp of divine fire, and mixed it with the original thunder tribulation to help him get started with this heavenly skill.
The vast and endless divine fire was boiling, and when combined with the extreme yang power in the thunder tribulation, the scene was even more astonishing, with an aura that could destroy the world.
Gradually, Si Chen was enveloped by thunder and fire and was in a strange state. Energy continued to flow into his body, condensing into silk threads and gradually turning into the shape of a cocoon.
His eyes flickered, from light to darkness, and then from darkness to light, life and death transformed into each other, in an endless cycle.
“What a monster, has he already mastered it?”
Even the old man couldn’t help but sigh, and looked at Duan De who was still sleeping on the ground: “This Taoist priest is also not simple.”
Even a great sage could not figure out the true identity of this fat Taoist priest.
After several days, Si Chen, who had achieved nirvana in the cocoon, gradually regained consciousness. He immersed himself in the Tao, his mind was empty and clear, and he merged with the void, experiencing an extraordinary state of Tao.
He was realizing the truth and sublimating himself, surrounded by stars in the sky and guarded by the four sacred beasts. He was like a peerless deity, revered by people from ancient times to the present.
Immediately afterwards, billions of rays of light appeared, silk ribbons fell, mist rose, and the saintly laws were born in Si Chen’s body.
“Crack!”
After a few more days, the cocoon where Si Chen was was broken, and a figure walked out of it. He was shining all over, emitting infinite light, and there was a hint of the aura of a saint.
Not only his body, but his soul was also emitting an immortal light. His immortal platform was like a small world, with immortal mist lingering around, divine rainbows in myriads, and the chaotic-colored little man became more condensed.
“You have broken through to the semi-saint level?” the old demon said in surprise.
Si Chen nodded. The speed of cultivation was indeed fast. At this stage, there was no need to rush to break through to become a saint. He could stay here for a year or two to accumulate foundation.
You can also slowly think about some principles and methods to prepare for creating your own scriptures.
Originally, he was planning to refine the high-level evolution liquid immediately, but now it seems that he can wait until he breaks through to the Saint level before refining it.
In that case, he would be able to make another leap into the Saint Realm, saving countless time.
The only pity is that there is no secret of the word “front” here. This secret technique of cultivating spiritual consciousness, when practiced to the extreme, is said to be able to predict the future. It was created by the Lord of Tribulation.
(As to who created the first character secret, there have been two theories on the Internet, one is Jiemie Tianzun, the other is Dujie Tianzun. This book adopts the latter.)
Duan De was still sleeping, so Si Chen walked to the ancient coffin. It was not empty, but there was a page of paper.
The material used for this piece of paper is extremely extraordinary. It is golden, translucent, and dazzling. It is the Daojie Gold, one of the nine immortal golds.
The secret of the word “hezhe” was recorded on paper made of phoenix blood and red gold, which was extremely luxurious.
The runes above are also very mysterious and full of Taoist atmosphere.
“The recipe for the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.” Si Chen sighed.
It can be considered a harvest, but it is a bit useless. The things above are difficult to collect, and even the Forbidden Zone of Life does not have these materials.
In the later Heavenly Palace era, several forbidden areas had been conquered, but it still took 700,000 to 800,000 years to search.
There are many controversies about who exactly passed down this elixir. Some supreme beings believe that it was the legendary Emperor Huang Tian, while others believe that it was created by a true immortal, otherwise why would it be called an elixir.
We can only wait until he achieves enlightenment. If he can collect all the materials, he will be able to refine a full furnace of Nine Revolutions Immortal Pills. Then, not only can he use them, but he can also give them to his close ones.
“Wulian Tianzun, I had a long dream.”
At this time, Duan De woke up slowly, his cultivation had reached the realm of Zhan Dao, but there was no heavenly tribulation.
He looked lost, which was very different from his usual look.
Si Chen had a strange look on his face. Could it be that he was dreaming about his past life?
“Damn it, I dreamed of being bitten by a dog.” Duan De sighed and didn’t understand why he had such a dream. (End of this chapter)
