Chapter 2, Every cause must have an effect
He just happened to pass by, and these boys and girls are the seedlings cultivated with great effort by the Xian Ke Sect, intended to be brought back to the sect.
The White Creek Master pointed with his finger, directing it towards the boy who had asked the question
Each major level in the cultivation world corresponds to a fixed heavenly tribulation
According to the experiences of the cultivation world, among the seven levels of tribulation thunder, at least the first four levels are considered conventional tribulations. The sequence in which these four tribulations appear is generally as follows: the Fire Cloud Tribulation initiates the event, with fire clouds continuously descending, accompanied by some thunderous energy. Following this is the Divine Sky Tribulation, then the Azure Sky Tribulation, and the Jade Sky Tribulation. It is only when the fifth level, the Dan Sky Tribulation, appears that the Heavenly Dao laws will formulate a unique type of tribulation thunder specifically targeting the golden core energy of this golden core cultivator.
The law of heaven is an eternal and unchanging existence that arises with the world
First, the weakest tribulation thunder descends. As the cultivator undergoing the tribulation continues to withstand the heavenly thunder, the laws of the Dao will become agitated, resulting in the descent of even more powerful tribulation thunder.
Let me ask you, what is the practice of cultivating the Dao?
When the golden robbery clouds blossomed in the sky, the group from Huayang Sect, facing the distance, saw Bai Xi, the real person of Xian Ke Sect, who was originally flying through the air, come to a sudden stop with a sigh.
At this moment, in the center of the thunder calamity, within the desolate mountain suppressed by extreme cold, an old Taoist nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood from his throat
He gazed at the golden-yellow cloud resembling a spirit mushroom and softly inquired, "Is that the legendary Golden Elixir Calamity Cloud?"
The long-gestating calamity has arrived without any warning.
The disciple earnestly kept it in mind. This young boy expressed his gratitude sincerely, and compared to the other trembling seedlings, his serious demeanor truly showcased an ethereal grace and the charm of a celestial being.
Return! I want to return!
However, at this moment, the expression of Master Baixi changed dramatically, and with a sharp cracking sound, he and the pile of celestial seedlings behind him instantly transformed into a streak of light shooting backward
The sound of piercing through the air echoed continuously in the sky all around.
The calamity of heaven is always a man-made disaster. As small as ants and as large as celestial beasts, all life in the world thrives by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. Mortals and ordinary birds and beasts live no more than a hundred years; after death, everything returns to nature, maintaining the balance. However, this is not the case for cultivators. The longer they live, the more they absorb, leading to an imbalance in a certain realm of heaven and earth. Consequently, a great calamity of slaughter naturally befalls them. If it falls upon an individual cultivator, it is a common heavenly tribulation; if it falls upon the entire cultivation world, it becomes a calamity that affects all living beings in the universe.
Any experience comes from bloody lessons
He himself does not possess any unique spiritual roots, and the golden elixir he has condensed is quite ordinary. A person like him could never possibly be associated with a different kind of heavenly tribulation.
Within the Sevenfold Thunder Calamity, the sequence of the various heavenly tribulation thunders is also fixed
This group of celestial seedlings is as silent as cicadas in winter, but since they have been chosen, they naturally understand the rules, and at this moment, they are all silently remembering these twelve words of truth in their hearts
The White Creek Master stared at the snow-capped peak that had turned white as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes bulging out.
Is it that one's own cultivation is too slow, too mediocre, and only when the lifespan is about to end is one forced to undergo tribulation, to the point where even the laws of heaven can no longer tolerate it
Retreat! Quick retreat!
How could it possibly be this kind of thunder calamity
The lush green mountain instantly transformed into a white snow peak, and a terrifying chill swept through the surrounding land at an astonishing speed, causing the vegetation on the nearby hills to wither and turn yellow in an instant
Do you consider yourselves fortunate or unfortunate
The expression of Bai Xi, the true person, was as cold and stern as an iceberg, yet his gaze was more intense than a volcano. "You are fortunate; you have become disciples of the Xian Ke Sect and have entered the realm of cultivation. Compared to you, the myriad beings across the continents are but a group of mayflies, living and dying in a day. However, you are also unfortunate, as you have encountered a peak Golden Core grand cultivator facing tribulation right after entering the immortal gate."
Although the cultivation world is filled with those who pretend to be weak while actually being powerful, the ancestor Tonghui knows better than anyone that even in the Lesser Jade Continent, he is undoubtedly the most ordinary and mediocre among the Golden Core stage cultivators
The Master of Baixi looked at the young boy, his gaze softened considerably. "It is important for a person to have self-awareness. Since the Three Saints stand together, the orthodox sects of each continent have all come under the Three Saints' banner. They act according to the principles of the Three Saints, and the cultivation of immortal seedlings is conducted within the boundaries defined by their respective sects. In the past, the chaotic scenes of various sects fighting over an exceptionally talented immortal seedling have become a thing of the past. Moreover, after the sects defined their territories, they are also pleased to invest long-term efforts in cultivating even more talented immortal seedlings. However, even so, among the carefully selected immortal seedlings, at most only about ten out of a hundred can reach the Foundation Establishment stage, and among those at the Foundation Establishment stage, at most only four or five can reach the Golden Core stage. You have just embarked on the path of immortality, and the sight of a Golden Core grandmaster failing to transcend the tribulation may not have a significant impact on you at first. But as your cultivation time increases, you will increasingly realize the difficulties of the immortal path. The scenes you witness today may very well become the burdens of demonic obstacles that accumulate in your hearts. However, opportunities and crises coexist; the tribulation faced by a Golden Core grandmaster cannot be clearly defined in terms of the opportunities it may bring you."
The White Creek Master laughed heartily, yet his gaze swept coldly over all these immortal seedlings, "You must remember, cultivating the Dao is to go against the heavens, to seize fortune, and to follow the law of the jungle!"
The mutation of the heavenly calamity was originally destined for a reason
Is there still any sense of justice in this world
Every cause has its effect
Behind him, more than ten handsome boys and girls, entangled by a long, white grass-like creature, collided into a heap as he came to an abrupt stop
dog feces
The calamity clouds, densely scattered across the sky like fish scales, suddenly descended hundreds of zhang in an instant, unleashing thousands of bolts of lightning.
What is this nonsense
These lightning strikes landed in a manner that was eerily devoid of any thunderous sound, with each point of impact surrounded by a swirling mist of ice, which then rapidly accumulated into a pile of tower-like white ice crystals
But who am I
Puff puff puff
Moreover, this Ice Soul Thunder is also one of the more troublesome types among the various kinds of thunder tribulations.
Ice Soul Thunder
Only those top-tier geniuses who have extraordinary experiences during their cultivation process, those unparalleled strong practitioners whose golden elixirs are completely different from ordinary golden elixirs, and even those who have surpassed the powers of the golden elixir stage while still in that stage, capable of contending with the abnormal powers of the nascent soul stage, are likely to encounter such severe retribution from the laws of heaven.
But why does this fair principle of natural justice not hold true when facing oneself
Although this group of young cultivators has just begun their journey, they have already gained a general understanding of the realms of cultivation and the history of the cultivation world. At this moment, dark clouds of tribulation are continuously accumulating in the sky, and a terrifying pressure is constantly shaking, causing these young cultivators to turn pale with fear. However, this young boy is still able to steady his mind and continues to ask in a clear voice: "Master, are you afraid that we will witness this Golden Core grandmaster failing in his tribulation, fearing that such a scene will leave a shadow in our hearts?"
The tribulation corresponding to the promotion from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage is the Sevenfold Thunder Tribulation
This is simply outrageous
After he condensed the golden elixir, the time he took to reach the pinnacle of the golden elixir was twice as long compared to those geniuses from the Xiaoyuzhou
These lightning bolts are only as thick as a thumb, yet their color is a peculiar milky white. The light they emit is not glaring, but as soon as they descend, a terrifying cold wave instantly erupts in the sky. Layer upon layer of glass-like ice forms in the air without warning, as if an iceberg has suddenly been sliced into countless thin sheets and then laid flat in this expanse of sky
He is the absolute protagonist of this calamity, the ancestor Tonghui of the Huayang Sect
All the cultivators shouting to retreat and Master Bai Xi share the same thought, it is truly a sight to behold after so long
The laws of heaven are ruthless and unfeeling, and the purpose of heavenly tribulations is to eradicate those who defy the natural order. However, the laws of heaven are also fair, as they treat everyone equally, with no distinction made between the origins or sects of any cultivator.
However, the Ice Soul Thunder is undoubtedly one type of the exotic calamity thunder.
At this moment, no one can feel more bewildered than he does, and no one can feel more indignant and desperate than he does
Not bad
His composure and insight immediately earned him a look of approval from Master Baixi, who said, "What is a blessing will not turn into a curse, and what is a curse cannot be avoided. Since you have encountered such an opportunity, I shall take this chance to give you your first lesson here!"
Meanwhile, a series of unbelievable howls echoed from both the sky and the ground around.
The boy said: "Seek the true self, discard the false and preserve the true."
Throughout the history of cultivation, there are numerous instances where cultivators who witnessed the heavenly tribulation were annihilated due to encountering a different kind of thunder tribulation. It is no wonder that these cultivators change countenance and flee in panic.
As soon as the Sevenfold Thunder Tribulation commenced, it directly omitted the conventional first four levels of the tribulation, leaving the cultivators present in a state of utter disbelief.
These fairy seedlings resemble an old loofah hanging from a vine, their faces already waxy yellow, appearing frail and trembling. Only one of the boys among them looks normal, his expression lively and his eyes quite spirited.
When these lightning bolts fell amidst the calamity clouds, they completely enveloped an area of several dozen miles in radius, yet they all fell with remarkable precision towards a mountain peak.
