The seventy-first heavenly tribulation descended, yet a phantom appeared above Di Xin.
The phantom let out an angry roar and actually withstood the heavenly tribulation head-on.
What was this?!
Chen Changsheng and Yang Jian were both startled. The appearance of this phantom had unexpectedly given Di Xin the confidence to contend with the heavenly tribulation.
And the phantom's appearance directly enraged the heavenly tribulation.
The heavenly tribulation showed no mercy now. Though it contained a sliver of life, it had suppressed that chance of survival to the absolute minimum.
Bolts of lightning descended one after another, even faster than before, yet they no longer achieved the same effect.
Under the lightning tribulation, the phantom gradually solidified. Its form slowly took on the appearance of a man—was it not Di Xin himself?
"Human Emperor Dharma Form!"
Chen Changsheng looked calmly at the Dharma Body that had appeared behind Di Xin.
By the time the heavenly tribulation reached its ninetieth bolt, the Dharma Form had become a terrifying figure. The man stood between heaven and earth, his eyes fixed directly upon the sky without the slightest fear.
Di Xin Enters the Treasure Pavilion
Though the figure was only a Dharma Form, the defiance in its eyes seemed to fill its entire body, as though what stood there was not a Dharma Form, but a real person.
"Master, this is...?"
Yang Jian was equally astonished by the sight before him. He realized that although he had already reached the True Immortal Realm, even he had to take this Dharma Form seriously when it appeared.
Chen Changsheng smiled. "Yang Jian, it seems your junior disciple brother's talent is no less than yours. Under the pressure of the lightning tribulation, he actually condensed the Human Emperor Dharma Form. In the future, this will become his greatest trump card."
"Human Emperor Dharma Form? Does that mean my junior disciple brother possesses the bearing of an emperor?"
Yang Jian had also understood much from those words and looked at Chen Changsheng in surprise.
Chen Changsheng nodded, then looked seriously at Yang Jian. "Yang Jian, remember this: he is your junior disciple brother now, and he will remain so in the future!"
Although the fates of both Yang Jian and Di Xin had changed because of him, Chen Changsheng still had some concerns. He feared that Yang Jian and Di Xin might one day end up on opposing sides.
They were both his disciples. He did not want to see either of them come to harm, and the last thing he wished to see was the two of them fighting each other.
"Rest assured, Master. He is Yang Jian's junior disciple brother. No matter what happens, Yang Jian will never do anything to harm him!"
Yang Jian froze for a moment before respectfully saluting him.
Chen Changsheng nodded. At that moment, the heavenly tribulation paused, as if gathering its strength.
Yet the Human Emperor Dharma Form refused to submit to fate. It charged into the sky and, with a thunderous boom, threw a punch at the heavens.
"Boom!"
Nine heavenly tribulations descended at once. Purple light flooded the sky, and even Chen Changsheng could not open his eyes.
At that moment, Sect Master Tongtian in Biyou Palace and Primordial Lord of Heaven in Jade Void Palace both rose to their feet.
Not only them—several powerful auras in different parts of the Primordial World also stirred.
Everyone sensed that a new star was rising among the human race.
The dark clouds dispersed, and Changsheng Palace was bathed in light once more. When Yang Jian and Chen Changsheng saw Di Xin standing proudly in the sky, both of them could not help but stare in a daze.
Di Xin returned from the sky and immediately sat cross-legged. Yang Jian knew that Di Xin was absorbing Innate Spiritual Energy.
Very quickly, Di Xin's cultivation stabilized. Like Yang Jian, he had stabilized his cultivation at the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
"Disciple greets Master and Senior Disciple Brother!"
The moment Di Xin opened his eyes, he saw Yang Jian and Chen Changsheng and immediately bowed.
"Mm, you have stabilized at the Heavenly Immortal Realm. It seems that, like your senior disciple brother, it is because of your cultivation technique."
Chen Changsheng nodded, while Yang Jian rushed over and patted Di Xin on the shoulder. "Not bad, Junior Brother! That display of yours even surpassed your senior disciple brother here!"
"You flatter me, Senior Brother. Compared to you, Di Xin still has many shortcomings!"
Di Xin did not dare grow arrogant. He had discovered that while he had cultivated over the past few years, Yang Jian had not been idle either. Even though he had condensed the Human Emperor Dharma Form, he still felt that he was no match for Yang Jian.
"Di Xin, I once promised you that after you passed the heavenly tribulation, I would let you enter the Treasure Pavilion and search for your own magical treasure. Now that you have passed the tribulation, it is time for me to fulfill that promise."
Chen Changsheng spoke softly, but Di Xin immediately became excited.
He knew about Yang Jian obtaining the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd. It was impossible for him not to feel envious, and he had looked forward to this day for a long time.
"Hahaha, Junior Brother, remember this: you must feel with your heart. Master's Treasure Pavilion truly holds countless mysteries!"
Yang Jian also shared his experience with Di Xin. Di Xin answered happily, then entered the Treasure Pavilion.
"Alright, you have now reached the True Immortal Realm as well. There are some things I should properly teach you."
The further one traveled along the path of cultivation, the more careful one had to be. During the years Yang Jian and Di Xin had spent in seclusion, Chen Changsheng had studied all the books in Changsheng Palace as well.
Fortunately, although Changsheng Palace had never produced any powerful experts, its research was quite thorough. At the very least, it made up for Chen Changsheng's inability to personally experience breakthroughs because the system kept allowing him to skip realms.
Yang Jian nodded excitedly. He had been cultivating on his own all these years. Though he had progressed quickly, it was impossible for him to have no doubts. He had been waiting for Chen Changsheng to resolve them.
The two entered Longevity Palace, and three days quietly passed.
Three days later, Di Xin arrived at the entrance of Longevity Palace with a delighted expression.
