Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint
Chapter 203 Hunyuan Dao Tribulation!
Chapter 203 Hunyuan Dao Tribulation!
Obviously, Taiyi’s foundation is much deeper than many people expected. Even under the pressure of being besieged by two peak quasi-saints, he still condensed the Nine Abysses bit by bit, and now he has succeeded!
At this moment, he can be said to have reached the last step of proving the Tao – next, he only needs to connect the nine great celestial abysses to the outer chaos to form a boundless sea of primordial energy, and then he can reconstruct the great cycle of the prehistoric world, practice his own great way, and thereby prove the Tao of Hunyuan and become the first saint since the creation of the prehistoric world!
Undoubtedly, this is very difficult. The original Demon Lord and Shen Ni are obviously not fools. At the last moment, they will definitely try their best to stop Taiyi in order to completely destroy the latter’s foundation for proving the Tao.
At the same time, some other powerful people in the prehistoric world might not be happy to see this happen, and it is not ruled out that someone else might bypass Di Jun, who is fighting Pan Man, and suddenly take action.
Therefore, at this moment, Taiyi was obviously much more serious. The Chaos Bell in his hand vibrated continuously. The boundless primordial energy shook the heaven and earth and transformed into blue dragons, attacking the two enemies with an increasingly violent momentum.
Shen Ni and the original demon lord also fought hard, using all their tricks. Endless demonic shadows and chaotic light burst out in the sky to fight against the Chaos Bell. The golden tower in Shen Ni’s hand showed its power and blocked most of the killing from Taiyi.
But there is no doubt that under Taiyi’s full-scale offensive, the two men showed signs of being gradually suppressed, retreating little by little, using guerrilla tactics to avoid Taiyi’s edge.
“If this continues, His Majesty Donghuang may be in danger.”
The first to speak was Yuanshi Tianzun, who attached great importance to the rules of hierarchy and etiquette, and was the first one present to be conservative. At this moment, he even deliberately changed the way he addressed Taiyi to the honorific title “Donghuang”, which was the most direct reflection of his character.
However, even Yuanshi Tianzun was obviously not optimistic about Taiyi at this moment. It was true that Taiyi was gradually gaining the upper hand and had a great chance of winning, but at this juncture, its ultimate goal was not to suppress the two invaders! The great tribulation of proving the Dao was the top priority!
Whether he was unaware of this or had his own considerations, Taiyi was clearly somewhat confused about priorities at the moment, which made Yuanshi Tianzun feel very pessimistic about his prospects for attaining enlightenment.
Hearing this, Qi Yu nodded secretly on the Tianhe River, but his focus was obviously not here. At this moment, he was looking at the nine giant abysses between the Zhoutian and the outer chaos.
“I never realized before that Taiyi’s way to sainthood would actually be of great benefit to me. Using the boundless sea of primordial energy to reshape the great cycle of the prehistoric world is not the best supplement to my great way?!”
“It seems that Taiyi is a great man! He is worthy of being the Heavenly Emperor. He can truly be a role model for all the gods in the prehistoric world!”
At this moment, Qi Yu said so in his heart. He liked Taiyi’s current approach very much. You know, his current foundation for becoming a saint is completely opposite to Guixu “Yujiang”. He does not follow the path of Xuanming’s sublimation and world-destroying, but is undoubtedly the path of pioneering. He wants to prove himself as the Emperor of Heaven in the future!
For this reason, he has been devoting himself to the position of the Black Emperor, not simply to use the Black Emperor’s Dao Fruit to sublimate the Water Element and reach the end of Xuanming, but more importantly to gather and rebuild the great cycle of the Water Element in the Three Realms – using this as a foundation, he will gradually conform to the Dao of the Heavenly Emperor, to achieve the atmosphere of water virtue governing the world, and to construct his Hunyuan Road.
Obviously, this is the path to perfect the inner circulation of the prehistoric world, which is very beneficial to the upward trend of the prehistoric world, and is more in line with the trend of the Heavenly Dao. It is a completely effective Hunyuan path. If we expand on this path, we will naturally take the route of combining the inside and the outside, seeking the benefit of chaos and widening the circulation of heaven and earth outward.
And this is exactly the path that Taiyi is practicing now. The Nine Heavenly Abysses are ready-made aids on this path!
Qi Yu could even foresee that once Taiyi fell, he would be able to take advantage of the situation and immediately improve his own path by at least 30%, and the upper limit of the path would also be widened by more than half – this meant that his progress after the Hunyuan realm would be very rapid!
It is no wonder that Qi Yu said that Taiyi was a “good man”. This was much more direct and quicker than providing warmth to the community – how could Qi Yu not be happy when he had the opportunity to get such a big bargain for free?
It was at this moment that Qi Yu’s eyes changed when he looked at the Zhoutian battlefield – he was no longer an indifferent spectator. At this moment, he looked at the Nine Great Sky Abysses with eyes full of aggression, and he even regarded Taiyi’s foundation of enlightenment as his own property.
“The success or failure of Taiyi’s enlightenment has nothing to do with us, but the Nine Great Abysses will benefit from it. All the gods and immortals in the prehistoric world who are on the path of development will hopefully benefit from it and should not be damaged in the war.”
“Therefore, if something unexpected happens, I may take action. At that time, I hope that Taoist Taiqing can help me as appropriate.”
Qi Yu said this in the “group chat” of Kunlun people. His purpose was extremely clear and definite. He came for the Nine Sky Abysses and he was just casually raising a banner.
The situation in which he required the Lord of Dao and Morality to help him was naturally not the present one, but meant that once Taiyi failed in his Dao attainment and died, the catastrophe of Dao attainment would spread to the nine celestial abysses, and Qi Yu would need the Lord of Dao and Morality to work together with him to resist.
In response to this, the Lord of Morality twitched his eyebrows slightly, but still nodded in response.
“can.”
It is obvious that the Lord of Dao and Virtue is somewhat interested in this opportunity to measure his own Taoism, and is willing to help Qi Yu a small favor, so that the latter will owe him a favor.
Not to mention the Lord of Morality, at this moment, everyone else present had probably heard that the Nine Sky Abysses might be of great benefit to Qi Yu, and might even be beneficial to the latter’s path to enlightenment!
For a moment, everyone’s reactions were different –
Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun were only slightly surprised and then calmed down. The two knew Qi Yu’s “true background” and naturally understood where Qi Yu was at now, so they would not react too much.
Wangshu’s brows were filled with joy, and she was obviously happy that her husband had the hope of making further progress. If her cultivation was not still a little insufficient, she would even volunteer to help Qi Yu conquer the Nine Abysses.
In comparison, Fuxi and the other two were even more surprised. Fuxi was better off because he had learned a lot more about Qi Yu after the trip to Yuxu Palace, and he also had some guesses about the latter’s current level of Taoism, which had now been completely confirmed.
But it was not the same for Nuwa and Queen Mother Xi, especially Queen Mother Xi. When she thought about how Qi Yu, who could not even see her taillights not long ago, had not only surpassed her but also rushed all the way to the point where he was about to try to prove his truth, she felt a deep sense of frustration in her heart – could this world ever be better? Why were there such big differences between gods!
Of course, the Queen Mother of the West could not have imagined that there would be people who could cheat in such a matter as spiritual practice, and let the former great players play for a new account. Naturally, she could only fall into an endless sense of confusion at this moment.
Just as she was at a loss, a new change occurred on the Zhoutian battlefield——
After a long battle, Taiyi finally forced back the Original Demon Lord and Shen Ni – of course, it cannot be ruled out that the latter two retreated on their own initiative, but in any case, Taiyi has successfully cleared the field, and then completely connected the Nine Heavenly Abysses to the outer chaos, evolving the sea of primordial energy, and thereby triggering his own Hunyuan catastrophe!
For a moment, the sky and the earth changed color, and endless blood light condensed and formed in the void, and turned into a blood-red eye of heaven’s calamity.
The next moment, destructive blood-red thunder came with boundless power that was enough to reverse the chaos. It was so powerful and irresistible that it struck directly at Taiyi who was standing proudly in the Zhoutian!
It has to be said that the power of Hunyuan Daojie is really too terrifying. With just a random strike, it has surpassed the limit of the peak quasi-saint. Although it is still far from being comparable to Hunyuan’s strike, it is definitely on another level. It tore the sky apart in an instant and annihilated countless stars. The aftermath alone easily created a scene of devastating destruction of the world!
Seeing this, Taiyi had no choice but to hold up the Chaos Bell. Twelve colors of divine light flashed around his body. The sound of the Chaos Bell continued to vibrate, and he used the infinite Hongmeng sound waves to rebound the blood-colored thunder.
There is no doubt that Taiyi’s response was excellent and his foundation was deep enough. This was a very correct way to overcome the tribulation, but the blood-colored thunder was ultimately different from the ordinary heavenly tribulation seen in the prehistoric world. After each rebound, the blood-colored thunder would leave a trace visible to the naked eye, and go deep into Taiyi’s soul along the Chaos Bell, torturing the latter’s heart of Tao.
That is to say, Taiyi’s Taoist foundation is really profound, and he has also practiced some of the secret methods of the Emperor Cangli who was hastily left behind after his failure in proving his Taoism. He has long been aware of the power of the Hunyuan Dao Tribulation, so he did not lose his composure.
But at this moment, he still felt an extremely heavy pressure – even though he had now surpassed the peak of the Quasi-Saint and faintly touched another level, when facing the power of heaven and earth like the Hunyuan Dao Jie, he could still clearly feel how insignificant he was compared to the Heavenly Dao.
It must be said that the Hunyuan Thunder Tribulation was too terrifying. After enduring seven or eight blood-colored lightning bolts, Taiyi could clearly feel the power of the tribulation invading the depths of his soul, and even began to erode his illusory Hunyuan Dao Fruit that had not yet fully formed, almost tearing apart the foundation of his sainthood!
At the same time, lightning continued to fall, not only to torture Taiyi, the one who had achieved enlightenment, but also to target the Nine Heavenly Abysses and the Infinite Chaos Qi Sea that had just taken shape. Such a fierce catastrophe made it impossible for Taiyi to maintain his initial composure, and he inevitably showed a bit of embarrassment.
Not only that, on the Zhoutian battlefield, Di Jun was also feeling more and more troubled – Pan Man’s strength was far beyond his initial estimation, and now there was the risk that the Original Demon Lord and Shen Ni might come back at any time. All of this gave Di Jun a headache, but he just forced himself to deal with them one by one.
For a time, the situation on Taiyi’s side took a sharp turn for the worse, causing the powerful gods who were watching from afar to secretly frighten themselves at the difficulty of proving their truth.
At this moment, in the Witch God Temple, the expressions of the twelve Ancestral Witches became noticeably ugly, and Gonggong, the Ancestral Witch of Water, even exclaimed.
“How can there be such a terrifying catastrophe after achieving the state of Hun Yuan!”
Obviously, this is Pangu’s fault. The inheritance he left to the Twelve Ancestral Witches does not contain any part related to the Hunyuan Daojie. Of course, it may also be because the environment of chaos and prehistoric times is different, or there may be some problems with Pangu himself, which caused a certain deviation between the inheritance and reality.
As powerful as Di Jiang was, he felt bitterness at the corners of his mouth and numbing on his scalp. He frowned and looked at the blood-colored thunder tribulations that kept appearing in his body – with his level of Taoism, even with the help of a companion spiritual treasure, he probably wouldn’t be able to withstand a few thunder tribulations!
Looking at Hou Tu who was standing beside him, Di Jiang saw that the latter also had a very similar expression. Only then did he feel relieved. However, the current head of the witch clan did not know that Hou Tu was thinking about something else at the moment –
At the moment when the nine great abysses were truly formed and evolved into the sea of chaotic energy, Hou Tu suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of enlightenment, but she could not grasp the fleeting inspiration. However, she vaguely felt that she was about to encounter a cause and effect condensed in the dark, perhaps related to the sea of blood.
Therefore, she planned to go to the Sea of Blood and search in it after Taiyi completed his enlightenment. Houtu even guessed that this might be the chance for her to achieve enlightenment, which should not be missed!
As for the other nine ancestor witches in the Witch God Temple, of course they all had their own thoughts at this moment. They were all silently paying attention to the great catastrophe of enlightenment in the Zhoutian.
Kunlun is completely different from this. At this moment, the Three Pure Ones, Fuxi and others are extremely enthusiastic about the Hunyuan Dao catastrophe that Taiyi is experiencing – after all, they already have the Lord of Morality among them who can be compared with the latter, and the others are just lagging behind temporarily. Their accumulation is not weak, and they will catch up sooner or later.
In other words, sooner or later they will have to experience the same catastrophe of enlightenment themselves. Now they have a rare opportunity to observe it, and there are a group of powerful people of the same level right beside them with whom they can discuss with each other. How could these people miss such a rare opportunity?
Of course, we should learn from our experience and lessons!
At this moment, Fuxi spoke while observing.
“Although the Hunyuan Dao Tribulation is an obstacle, it is more of a test than a difficulty. Now, Taiyi has made some progress under the bombardment of thunder tribulations. His body seems to be sublimating. Perhaps when the tribulation is over, he can construct a Hunyuan Saint Body. With his body, he will be invincible under the Heavenly Dao.”
“Yes, that is true.”
After Fuxi, Lingbao Tianzun spoke, affirmed Fuxi’s point of view, and then said.
“Not only that, the Hunyuan Dao Tribulation will also test one’s Dao heart. If one’s Dao heart is as strong as iron, the power of the lightning will naturally diminish. This shows that the Dao heart is also crucial to achieving the Dao!”
“But it is so——”
Yuanshi Tianzun spoke. To be honest, he always felt that Lingbao Tianzun had an unstable character. Now was a good opportunity to educate his younger brother, so he immediately followed Lingbao Tianzun’s words and spoke. At the same time, he cast an extremely majestic gaze at the latter, silently but full of warnings.
