Chapter 242: Chapter 242: The Disciple is Finally Going to Face Tribulation (Extra)
After subduing the Demon Race of Huang State, Lu Changsheng led his team back to Mount Shu to return to Qingyun Peak for cultivation.
Having resolved the potential threats in Xia State and Huang State, Lu Changsheng could concentrate on his cultivation, seeking to elevate his realm to the Unity Realm as soon as possible.
Only upon reaching the Unity Realm one would truly be considered the strongest existence in this world.
Lin Qingzhi, the head disciple of Qingyun Peak, was meditating. The moment Lu Changsheng returned to Qingyun Peak, Lin Qingzhi opened his eyes.
Five years ago, during the Mount Shu cataclysm, Lin Qingzhi had already reached the ninth layer of Dao Palace Realm. Now, his aura had reached the pinnacle of the ninth layer of Dao Palace Realm, ready for a breakthrough anytime.
“Master, your disciple intends to undergo the Tribulation.”
Lin Qingzhi took the initiative to go to Lu Changsheng’s cave dwelling.
He had stayed in the ninth layer of Dao Palace Realm for eight years, continuously consolidating his realm, and finally was prepared to strike at the Void Refinement Realm.
“Very good.”
Lu Changsheng had been waiting for this day to come.
Once Lin Qingzhi stepped into the Void Refinement Realm, he would then be able to reward Lin Qingzhi with a lower-grade Immortal Artifact, and the chances of returning a high-grade Immortal Artifact and Treasured Fragment would be even higher.
Furthermore, for each additional disciple in the Void Refinement Realm, one more Immortal Artifact could be returned every month.
Disciples in the Void Refinement Realm could also be rewarded with higher-grade Elixir Pills and Talismans.
When facing powerful enemies, disciples using Immortal Artifacts in the Void Refinement Realm could even be of some help.
“This is a seventh-grade Entering Void Pill that can increase the success rate of your Tribulation.”
“This is an eighth-grade Elixir Pill, the Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill, which can replenish your Spiritual Energy between the gaps of the Threefold Heavenly Tribulation.”
“This is a high-grade Innate Spirit Treasure ‘Heavenly Silkworm Soft Armor’, crafted from Heavenly Silkworm silk, a defensive treasure that can provide you with one last protection during your Tribulation.”
“This is…”
Lu Changsheng took out various Elixir Pills and treasures that were greatly beneficial for the Tribulation, comprehensively increasing the disciple’s success rate, and earning the reward for returning the favor of teaching.
Having achieved great perfection in the Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills and refined into the Nine Revolutions Divine Body, the Heavenly Silkworm Soft Armor—a high-grade defensive Innate Spirit Treasure—was no longer of much use to Lu Changsheng.
The Nine Revolutions Divine Body’s strength was comparable to a mid-grade Immortal Artifact. In the eyes of Lu Changsheng, the Heavenly Silkworm Soft Armor was much like a piece of cloth, unnecessary to wear, and it would be better used by his head disciple to overcome the Tribulation.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a seventh-grade Elixir Pill “Entering Void Pill” and received an800-fold return on the teaching reward: a ninth-grade Elixir Pill “Convergence Pill.”]
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Lin Qingzhi with an eighth-grade Elixir Pill “Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill” and received a 50-fold return on the teaching reward: a ninth-grade Elixir Pill “Jin Jiao Xian Dan.”]
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a high-grade Innate Treasure “Heavenly Silkworm Soft Armor” and received a 100-fold return on the teaching reward: a lower-grade defensive Immortal Artifact “Xuanjin Battle Armor.”]
[Ding, the number of Immortal Artifacts that can be returned this month has decreased by 1, the remaining number of Immortal Artifacts that can be returned this month is 0.]
…
Two more ninth-grade Immortal Pills entered the account, along with a lower-grade defensive Immortal Artifact treasure.
Even Lu Changsheng could make use of the Xuanjin Battle Armor.
This month’s quota for returning Immortal Artifacts has been used up. If Lin Qingzhi successfully overcomes the Tribulation, then there would be one more chance to return an Immortal Artifact this month.
When Lu Changsheng himself broke through the Dao Palace Realm and stepped into the Void Refinement Realm, he had experienced the ferocity of the Threefold Heavenly Tribulation.
Lin Qingzhi, who inherited the Everlasting Verdant Body from the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor, although this special physique was not as good as the Innate Taoist Body, the Tribulation it drew would undoubtedly be terrifying. Therefore, Lu Changsheng provided Lin Qingzhi with some life-saving measures.
“Disciple hereby thanks Master profusely.”
Lin Qingzhi respectfully kowtowed in gratitude.
Lu Changsheng was so considerate that he prepared all kinds of treasures needed for his disciple to face the tribulation, moving Lin Qingzhi immensely.
Without Lu Changsheng, Lin Qingzhi would still be a mortal; decades later, he would have been buried in the ground.
Now, as Lin Qingzhi embarked on the path of cultivation, he was about to become a figure at the level of a Supreme Elder of Mount Shu, with the opportunity to question Longevity.
Lin Qingzhi chose to break through in a deserted wilderness outside Mount Shu. Lu Changsheng, accompanied by several disciples from Qingyun Peak, descended the mountain to protect Lin Qingzhi during his tribulation. As for Daoist Earth Hound, he was guarding the mountain gate.
“My junior brother’s cultivation progress is incredibly fast. It seems that I need to double my efforts to keep up with him,” she said.
Since becoming a disciple of Qingyun Peak, Chen Yao still habitually called Lin Qingzhi “junior brother.”
After five years of power-infusing initiation from her master, Chen Yao’s cultivation had gradually caught up, and she was now at the fifth layer of the Dao Palace Realm.
For this disciple, Lu Changsheng mainly imparted knowledge of Thunder techniques and Dao Arrays.
Lu Changsheng didn’t know the full mystery of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Physique, but the speed of cultivation for someone with this physique was definitely not slow.
Chen Yao, a disciple from Mount Shu with a Thunder Spiritual Root, could invoke the Brilliant Divine Thunder to exterminate demons and heretics if her cultivation reached a more advanced stage.
She was also a genius in Dao Arrays. Lu Changsheng’s teachings in Dao Arrays allowed her to quickly grasp the essence.
Lu Changsheng set up an array at Lin Qingzhi’s tribulation site to prevent disturbances from outsiders.
With the Demon Race of Huang State subjugated and the four great Demon Sects in decline, there should be no unexpected complications. It was all down to whether Lin Qingzhi could rely on his own strength to pass the Threefold Heavenly Tribulation.
“Master, Lian will also be facing her tribulation soon.”
Lu Qinglian was also at the pinnacle of the ninth layer of the Dao Palace Realm, nearly on par with her senior brother, Lin Qingzhi.
“You have achieved great accomplishment in the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique, and when you face the tribulation, your Martial King Divine Physique will attract an even more fearsome Heavenly Tribulation. As your master, I must ensure there are no mishaps.”
Lu Changsheng was not in a hurry for Lu Qinglian to undergo her tribulation.
Lu Qinglian, adept in both martial and cultivation practices, possessed the formidable Martial King Divine Physique. Her Heavenly Tribulation might even be more terrifying than Lin Qingzhi’s, so it wasn’t advisable to rush.
“Mhm.”
Lu Qinglian nodded obediently. She was just one step away from achieving great accomplishment in the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique.
In her dwelling, Fire Lotus Peak, there seemed to be something within the Earth Fire.
If she reached the Void Refinement Realm and achieved great perfection in the Fire Lotus Swallowing Heaven Scripture, with the strength of her Martial King Divine Physique, she would be capable of exploring the Earth Fire of Fire Lotus Peak.
“Begin the tribulation.”
Once Lu Changsheng had set up the array, he reminded Lin Qingzhi that he could start the tribulation.
“Alright.”
Lin Qingzhi took a deep breath, circulated the Taiqing Wuji Technique, and ‘Purple Aura Coming from the East’ appeared.
At that moment, the Dantian Qi Sea inside Lin Qingzhi’s body opened like a floodgate, and his breath burst forth like a deluge!
Ordinary Dao Palace Realm ninth-layer cultivators would need to stay at the peak of the ninth layer for a decade or even several decades, constantly consolidating their foundation, to increase their chances of successfully facing the tribulation.
But Lin Qingzhi had his master’s continuous power-infusing initiation and various talismans and elixir pills, so he chose to face the tribulation after only eight years!
Lu Changsheng brought other disciples to serve as protectors to also let them learn how to deal with Heavenly Tribulation.
After all, his disciples were more monstrous than the next, with the Martial King Divine Physique, Body of the Literary Sage, Pure Yang Body, Demon God Physique, Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Physique, each disciple facing an extremely terrifying Heavenly Tribulation.
Lin Qingzhi offered a high-grade Innate Spirit Treasure level Medicine Cauldron, refining an eighth-grade Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill, preparing a store of pure Spiritual Energy in advance to replenish his True Qi during the tribulation.
Afterward, Lin Qingzhi offered eighteen high-grade Innate Spirit Treasure Flying Swords, forming the Tiangang Sword Formation, with sword light reaching ten thousand zhang, ready to confront the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder head-on.
