Attaining the Dao and Entering the Mahayana Stage, Reincarnation and Karma

Upon hearing the title "Dragon Lord Shuyu, "the Azure Abyss Dragon King finally recognized the figure as Zheng Fa, the Sect Leader the Nine Mountains Sect.

His eyes immediately revealed a hint of hostility.

The Azure Abyss Dragon King finally understood. From the very beginning, the Dragon Lord had known what he wanted to say; the so-called two matters were merely excuses to refuse.

He refused because of the Nine Mountains Sect.

He had never thought much of the Nine Mountains Sect, especially since the Dragon Lord Shuyu had rejected him because of the Nine Mountains Sect.

When he saw Zheng Fa, he naturally didn't give him a friendly look.

Especially when he recalled the two outrageous demands of the Dragon Lord Shuyu, he felt increasingly displeased. What was even more outrageous was that this Nine Mountains Zheng Fa could actually fulfill them?

With such a massive investment, how will other factions recruit people in the future?

That's completely against the rules!

"What's wrong with him?"

The Azure Abyss Dragon King Dragon Lord Shuyu's tone, but she didn't pay it any mind and focused her attention on Zheng Fa.

The world was dark, a fierce wind raged, beasts cried out on the ground, and calamity clouds gathered in the sky.

Even the air smelled of turmoil.

"Is Zheng Fa about to advance in rank?"

Dragon Lord Shuyu frowned.

This situation was familiar to her, yet somewhat unfamiliar:

Zheng Fa's advancement is far more significant than hers was back then.

The Spiritual Qi from an unknown radius gathered here.

Beside him, the Azure Abyss Dragon King said, "Judging from this appearance, it doesn't seem like Loose Immortal Tribulation... Corpse Liberation or True Spirit?"

Dragon Lord Shuyu shook his head, looking quite puzzled.

"With such meager cultivation, you flaunt it like this. Don't you know that powerful Xuanwei are now hiding in the shadows, and everyone seems to have survived their tribulations?" The Azure Abyss Dragon King said to himself, "Dragon Lord, your judgment isn't very good."

The Dragon Lord Shuyu did not refute it. Although the Dragon King's words were unpleasant, they were not without reason:

The situation in Xuanwei is complicated now; there are countless True Immortal like the Azure Abyss Dragon King.

A tree that stands out in the forest will surely be felled by the wind; Zheng Fa's tribulation will likely attract some ill-intentioned glances.

She was also a little puzzled. Zheng Fa hadn't seemed like a high-profile person before.

Within the Nine Mountains Realm, Senior Sister Zhang and the others gazed at Zheng Fa outside the realm, their expressions filled with bewilderment.

"There's no other way," the Heavenly Emperor Body explained, "The Nine Mountains Realm can't withstand it."

Senior Sister Zhang asked, "Can't handle it? How could that be?"

"This time, perfecting the <Yellow Court Scripture> seems to present more complex challenges than before." The Heavenly Emperor Body's expression was also one of frustration. "Its power is unpredictable, and I fear my true form might harm others within the sect."

Senior Sister Zhang's expression changed slightly, and she pressed, "How is it complicated?"

The Heavenly Emperor Body shook his head, seemingly unsure as well.

The people from the Nine Mountains Realm looked at Zheng Fa with increasing worry.

Zheng Fa stood in the void, gazing up at the tribulation clouds in the sky, utterly speechless.

In his opinion, if he could attain enlightenment in Mahayana, he didn't want to make a fuss.

Just as he was about to trigger his tribulation and advance his cultivation, he sensed that if he stayed within the Nine Mountains Realm to undergo the tribulation, there might be some unexpected risks.

I don't know if it's because the <Yellow Court Scripture> is so special, or because of the Xuanwei Heaven.

However, since things had already come to this, he didn't have time to delve deeper and could only leave the Nine Mountains Realm to undergo his tribulation.

Those distant, seemingly present yet absent gazes are no longer something to concern us with.

His Mahayana Tribulation has arrived!

A thunder dragon descended from the heavens, heavenly fire rose from the spring, and at the same time, Yin Wind blew in from the top of the head.

Zheng Fa's old friends, the Three Calamities that cultivators avoid like the plague and fear to even mention, all erupted on him at the same time, one after the other.

Ordinary cultivators would have difficulty dealing with even one of these calamities, let alone all of them.

Even though Dragon Lord Shuyu were already True Immortal, their expressions changed slightly upon seeing this.

Even the Azure Abyss Dragon King couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He really couldn't survive such a terrible ordeal!

To be fair, if he had encountered such a deadly calamity when he was advancing in his cultivation, he would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

What did Zheng Fa do that Heavenly Dao couldn't tolerate?

Zheng Fa, however, had a profound realization: the Three Calamities came together because the * Yellow Court Scripture * completely integrated the three methods into one, without distinguishing between them.

The Lightning Tribulation corresponds to the Yang Spirit, which helps a cultivator's Primordial Spirit transform from Yin to Yang.

Yin Wind are naturally beneficial to the growth of the Dharma Body.

The Heavenly Fire Tribulation is even more beneficial to Life-bound Spirit Treasure.

Heavenly Dao isn't criticizing me; it's just bestowing a huge reward—but many people easily overindulge in this prize.

But he has always had a big appetite.

Behind Zheng Fa, the phantom of the Fusang Wood stood tall and firm. The Yin Wind that blew against the branches of this Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root was like a spring breeze brushing against a large ailanthus tree, not even able to rub off the bark.

He pushed forward with his right hand, and five thunderbolts erupted from his palm, blasting upwards.

The Heavenly Thunder, but his thunder was even fiercer!

With a flick of his hand, the dark clouds stretching for miles were cleaved away and vanished into thin air.

Lightning enveloped his entire body, making him appear like a thunder emperor.

As for the Heavenly Fire Tribulation, it remains unknown to outsiders:

Within Zheng Fa's sea of knowledge, a boy sat on the Creation Jade Disc, traversing amidst the rolling heavenly fire, using its power to refine treasures.

This is the Artifact Spirit the Creation Jade Disc, named the Creation Boy. Although it has just taken shape, its intelligence is already quite high, and it handles the heavenly fire with ease.

The patterns on the Creation Jade Disc became increasingly complex and profound under the tempering of heavenly fire.

The Azure Abyss Dragon King was unsure of Zheng Fa's true intentions, but he could see that the Three Calamities came quickly and left even faster.

In less than half an incense stick's time, the Three Calamities had already dissipated.

Zheng Fa looked perfectly fine, with not a single wrinkle on his clothes. He didn't seem to have survived a major ordeal; rather, he looked like he was on a picnic.

Although the Azure Abyss Dragon King remained silent, he suddenly became wary:

He knew beforehand that Zheng Fa was quite capable, but seeing is believing, and now that he had met him, he realized he had truly underestimated his opponent.

Combat strength can be increased using external items such as Law Treasure.

However, Zheng Fa's tribulation was handled so casually, which greatly demonstrated his profound Daoist cultivation and superb Method Formula.

The Nine Mountains Sect still occupies the original Xuanwei Sea.

Such a talented person is now standing in his way on the path to becoming Golden Immortal.

The Azure Abyss Dragon King's heart stirred. He glanced at the Dragon Lord Shuyu, assessing whether the Dragon Lord Shuyu would stop him if he were to take action during Zheng Fa's Heart Demon Tribulation...

There's still a chance to stop them!

Being in the sea, he possessed extraordinary perception and could naturally sense that besides himself, there were other True Immortal nearby. They were hiding and showing their true colors, and it was likely that some of them harbored ill intentions.

The more the Azure Abyss Dragon King thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, but he was still somewhat wary of the person hiding in the shadows, so he hesitated slightly.

The Dragon Lord Shuyu glanced at him, seemingly sensing something, but then turned his gaze back to Dharma Body, frowning as he asked, "What is he waiting for?"

The Azure Abyss Dragon King was taken aback. What, wait?

After the Three Calamities, shouldn't the Heart Demon Tribulation follow?

He also looked at Zheng Fa, only to see Zheng Fa gazing at the sky, at... those shooting stars?

Since the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor attained enlightenment, these meteors have fallen one after another, and the Xuanwei Realm has expanded day by day.

They work day and night, which is a strange sight. In many places in Xuanwei, the night has been as bright as day for several years.

But what time is it now? Zheng Fa is actually watching a meteor shower?

The next moment, he understood what Zheng Fa was looking at—the light and shadow of those shooting stars slowly connected in the sky, outlining the figures of powerful beings.

Dragons and phoenixes soar through the sky, immortals and gods ascend to the heavens.

The imposing presence of these phantoms made the entire sky seem to shrink, causing a feeling of suffocation in one's heart.

One of the figures made the Azure Abyss Dragon King gasp in shock:

"Dragon Ancestor!"

The Azure Abyss Dragon King looked at the ten-thousand-foot-tall true dragon in the eastern sky and felt his heart tremble.

The overwhelming pressure emanating from his bloodline made it clear to him that this was the Dragon Ancestor had created the Dragon Abyss Realm.

But didn't the Dragon Ancestor perish?

Upon closer inspection, he realized that this was not the resurrection of the Dragon Ancestor, but rather a phantom, whose cultivation level was not even what it had been before—it seemed to be at the True Spirit Realm.

The Dragon Clan, the Demon Race, and the Dharma Body Method are closely related, hence their realm names are similar. The last realm before the Dao Fruit is called True Spirit, which corresponds to Zheng Fa's current cultivation level.

That's certainly not high, but the problem is, there are too many people!

Beneath the sky, countless illusory figures of powerful beings appeared, numbering as many as seventy-two.

At this moment, the Azure Abyss Dragon King also understood that these were all fallen Golden Immortal.

Dragon Lord Shuyu took it all in stride. Zheng Fa was already at the Dao Fruit, so he shouldn't have any problems facing these phantoms who weren't at the Dao Fruit.

Wrong!

She frowned, noticing that the cultivation levels of these powerful phantoms had suddenly changed.

No!

Can it be upgraded?

Zheng Fa was also somewhat bewildered. He had just been about to activate the Fusang Wood when he saw that this group had actually transformed into Loose Immortal.

Ganging up on someone is shameless enough.

You guys are cheating?

Now Zheng Fa understood why staying in the Nine Mountains Realm to undergo his tribulation would cause him so much trouble.

The strength of this group is directly tied to their own abilities!

If they were to hide within the Nine Mountains Realm, the strength of this group might be comparable to that of the Nine Mountains Realm and the Heavenly Emperor Body.

When that time comes, dozens of Loose Immortal or even True Immortal will besiege the Nine Mountains Realm, making it difficult for the Nine Mountains Realm not to become ruins.

But why?

The Creation Jade Disc suddenly trembled; it was a message from the Nine Nether Emperor:

"The appearance of these people is a matter of Reincarnation."

"..."

"They perished with resentment, and besides, your magic is rather unique."

Is the Nine Nether Emperor also watching his tribulation?

According to the Nine Nether Emperor.

This is partly because the Reincarnation Great Dao has appeared, preventing these immortal Golden Immortal from being resurrected, leaving them only with resentment.

On the other hand, it was the <Yellow Court Scripture> that caused changes in heaven and earth, actually awakening this group of Cultivation Method beings who had already fallen.

"So, Your Majesty, how should we overcome this calamity?"

"Their resentment stems from the demise of their own Daoist arts," the Nine Nether Emperor explained. "Therefore, they probably want to Dao Contention arts."

That's why their cultivation is so agile?

The so-called competition for superior Dao Contention methods naturally involves contests within the same realm. Therefore, when Zheng Fa uses the power of the Fusang Wood, the cultivation levels of this group of people will rise accordingly.

Looking at these powerful phantoms, Zheng Fa was furious and cursed inwardly:

If you want revenge and vengeance, then you should go and cause trouble for the Nine Nether Emperor!

What do you want from me?

After hurling insults, he finally understood:

In the current situation, it is actually better for him to suppress his strength before achieving the Dao Fruit – after all, his Life-bound Spirit Treasure and Yang Spirit have not yet achieved the Dao Fruit, and fighting against these people at the Loose Immortal realm would be a huge disadvantage.

The Azure Abyss Dragon King roughly understood, and was overjoyed: He didn't even need to lift a finger!

It wasn't that he didn't believe in Zheng Fa's abilities, but anyone in his place would die!

Which of these Golden Immortal wasn't a prodigy back in the day?

It could even be said that each of them had suppressed countless cultivators.

At the same level, defeating even one of them would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Not to mention the sheer number of people attacking together.

"Zheng Fa is indeed extraordinary."

At this moment, he began to praise Zheng Fa instead.

But this praise only made the Dragon Lord Shuyu's expression even uglier, yet there was nothing he could do about it:

Not to mention that no one else can participate in the tribulation, these phantoms are really strange.

If Zheng Fa were to act rashly and allow those powerful beings to become even stronger, it would actually be detrimental to him.

The illusory image of the Fusang Wood Dharma Body slowly dissipated, and his aura plummeted from that of Loose Immortal to below that of Dao Fruit.

The powerful beings in the air had also attained the state of Corpse Liberation or True Spirit.

A Auspicious Cloud flew out from above Zheng Fa's head, and three lotus flowers floated on the Auspicious Cloud.

Previously, the strength of his Three Flowers Above the Head varied.

At this point, however, the sizes are identical.

The Yellow Court Scripture of the Mahayana Stage has only one essential meaning: the Hunyuan unity.

Spirit, energy, and vitality are one.

The Dharma Body, the Yang Spirit, and the Life-bound Spirit Treasure are one.

Even through the Celestial River Method, Zheng Fa and all the disciples of the Nine Mountains were subtly connected as one.

His body was radiant with light and energy at the Mud Pill Palace, Yellow Court, and Qihai points.

The Yang Spirit and his Dharma Body are mutually complementary, forming a perfect Dharma Body.

Those powerful beings who were blocking the way seemed to have grown impatient and rushed towards Zheng Fa from all directions.

Throughout history, there have only been about a hundred Golden Immortal, but here alone, there are seventy-two.

Given their pride, they have never joined forces against anyone before, but now Zheng Fa is facing their siege!

Even the Azure Abyss Dragon King widened his eyes, unwilling to miss such a rare battle of wits.

Zheng Dharma Body with incredible speed. Facing the encirclement, he didn't defend but instead launched a counterattack, transforming into a rainbow of light and heading straight for the phantom of an Ancient Immortals immortal.

He was incredibly fast; no one could react in time. By the time he reappeared, his palm was already on Ancient Immortals's chest.

A dazzling light burst forth from the void beside them.

When the light faded, the Ancient Immortals had vanished without a trace!

With a single strike, Zheng Fa actually took the life of a powerful expert of the same realm.

The Azure Abyss Dragon King stared blankly at Zheng Fa's seemingly ordinary hands.

Zheng Fa did not use any external force, nor even any Dao Fruit, Law Treasure, Spirit Root; he only used his two palms to make him feel a chill in his heart.

Even those seemingly ignorant and resentful powerful beings froze in mid-air, staring at Zheng Fa with wide eyes...

They seemed afraid.

Zheng Fa looked up and gazed in all directions, his eyes calm and fearless.

When Zheng Fa was Spirit Transformation, he faced the Three Patriarchs' Dao Contest the Dao and used a series of attacks against them.

At that time, he used the Celestial River Method to break the Dao Venerable's Taiji Diagram, used his Dharma Body to make it difficult for the Venerable Tianhe to draw his sword, and used the Taiji Diagram to suppress Lu Mo.

It can be said that his mastery of the three great Daoist arts is comparable to that of the three patriarchs.

Now he has gone a step further, finally Three Methods Unite as One using the * Yellow Court Scripture *.

Just now, that single palm strike contained not only the supreme Dao of the Yang Spirit, but also the mighty power of the Dharma Body, and the wondrous techniques of the Tianhe.

With the Xuanwei, serving that Ancient Immortals alone, who else but him would die?

Having achieved victory with a single strike, Zheng Fa felt much more at ease, and then sneered.

He was unwilling to reveal too much of his trump card, but the interference from this group of powerful figures caused a group of ill-intentioned people to gather around and watch.

Since that's the case, how will the world know that my Huangting Great Dao Wu Shuang if I don't crush you bunch of cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong?
