The Reincarnation Tribulation Was Too Hard

Northern Demon Domain.

Across the vast, boundless savage land, mountain ranges stretched out like crouching giant dragons, while ancient forests towered one after another. A dense, primordial aura surged through heaven and earth.

Whoosh!

At the end of the sky, a speck of golden light suddenly appeared. Then the golden light flickered, tearing across the heavens like lightning. In a flash, it traveled from far to near and appeared before their eyes.

It was an extraordinary divine beast. At times, it transformed into a golden Peng, its wings spreading wide enough to cover the sky and blot out the sun. At times, black light surged as it became a giant Kun, its shadow shrouding the land. As it howled through the air, even heaven and earth seemed to tremble.

Atop that strange beast, a figure in white stood gracefully, hands hanging by her sides. Her long hair danced in the wind, and an air of transcendence naturally radiated from her.

Once it drew near, the strange beast slowly stopped. The waves of air stirred up by that colossal body formed a storm, battering the towering trees in the ancient forest until they swayed without end.

Ahead, a middle-aged man was waiting there. When he saw the strange beast and the figure on its back, he immediately went forward, a smile spreading across his somewhat firm face.

"I am Duan Tao of the Dragon Clan. I respectfully welcome your arrival, my lady."

Mu Zi nodded lightly, her gaze falling on the middle-aged man at the Samsara Stage. Her clear, melodious voice rang out from the Kun Peng's back.

"I have come uninvited. I am the one imposing."

Duan Tao hurriedly waved his hand and said that he would not dare. This was a good friend of Lord Qing Zhi, said to be a peak existence comparable to the Reincarnation Stage. For such a powerful expert to visit was an honor to the Dragon Clan as well, and she had to be treated with solemn respect.

As they spoke, Duan Tao turned his gaze toward the visitors and quietly sized them up.

When he saw that colossal creature covering the sky and blotting out the sun, a ripple could not help but rise in Duan Tao's eyes. As expected of the Kun Peng, renowned for its immense size. Judging from physique alone, a Kun Peng at the Samsara Stage was almost not inferior to the true body of a Dragon Clan expert at the Reincarnation Stage!

"Kun Peng Zi."

Duan Tao's expression shifted slightly as he recognized this Kun Peng, and this left him somewhat surprised.

The aura faintly emanating from the Kun Peng before him gave him a feeling of pressure, which meant that he was absolutely no match for it.

Yet Kun Peng Zi was a genius of the younger generation, and he actually possessed such strength, not inferior to some veteran experts of the Dragon Clan. It was truly unexpected.

His gaze moved upward, and Duan Tao's pupils immediately shrank slightly. From that woman of Peerless Grace, there was not the slightest trace of aura being emitted. She was like an ordinary person with no cultivation at all.

And that was clearly impossible. It meant that her strength far surpassed his own, and might even exceed imagination.

Duan Tao marveled inwardly. If Kun Peng Zi brought him pressure, then Mu Zi was completely unfathomable.

A sense of awe surged into his eyes, and Duan Tao's attitude became even more respectful as he said,

"My lady, please follow me. Senior Qing Zhi is currently within the clan."

"Thank you."

Mu Zi replied calmly, then drove the Kun Peng to follow behind him as they advanced across this savage land.

As they went deeper, the Yuan Power between heaven and earth grew increasingly dense. Later on, even the air became somewhat moist. That was a scene that would only appear when Yuan Power was abundant to a certain extent.

Here, one only had to refine it casually, and the dense Yuan Power of heaven and earth would condense into pills. With a casual grab, one could seize several thousand Profound Essence Pills.

Such a land of abundant energy would likely be difficult to find on Douqi Continent, yet the overlord races of Tianxuan Continent could squander it to their hearts' content.

Perhaps in ancient times, Douqi Continent had also been such a scene.

After they continued forward for a long while, signs of distortion appeared in the space ahead, like an invisible barrier emerging before their eyes.

Buzz!

Duan Tao clenched his hand, and a lifelike Dragon Clan totem condensed from his palm. It then turned into a ray of light that landed on the barrier and tore open a crack.

"Please."

Kun Peng Zi's body shrank, becoming a golden Peng bird several zhang long. He flew through the crack, while Mu Zi's feet stood on his back, light as a feather, almost without any weight to be felt.

What entered their sight was one pill river after another, their ends invisible, running across the sky as they roared and surged. In the even more distant reaches, dragon roars seemed to echo, and faintly, some enormous shadows could be seen frolicking within the pill rivers.

Above the horizon, an incomparably huge light barrier enveloped the land. Mysterious runes densely covered it and gathered together. From afar, it looked as though it was the phantom of a giant dragon nearly one hundred thousand zhang in size. A terrifying fluctuation spread from that formation.

"This is our Dragon Clan's clan-protecting formation, the Great Void Divine Formation. During the ancient world war, three Otherworld Demon Kings once led an army to attack, but they were all slain by this formation."

Duan Tao introduced it softly, a trace of pride in his tone. A Guardian Array with such power was extremely rare even when looking across the world.

Mu Zi gazed at the incomparably vast formation far up in the sky, her eyes as calm as water. A formation of this level was something the current her could also set up. Before she knew it, she had already reached such heights.

"My lady, please follow me."

Under Duan Tao's guidance, Mu Zi traveled through the Dragon Clan's clan grounds. A moment later, clusters of towering, majestic buildings like great halls and stone towers appeared before her eyes, and a grand, imposing feeling rushed toward her.

The group entered the buildings. Along the way, figures cast curious looks toward them. Kun Peng Zi, in particular, drew quite a few appraising gazes.

"A Kun Peng?"

A strange look flashed through everyone's eyes. They had actually seen someone from the Kun Peng Race within the Dragon Clan. The two races could hardly be considered friendly, and for a lone Peng to come to the Dragon Clan counted as quite courageous.

Some people even began to grow restless. If not for the aura Kun Peng Zi revealed making them wary, someone likely would have issued a challenge.

When the members of the Dragon Clan noticed that peerless figure on Kun Peng Zi's back, their expressions immediately became rather stunned. Who was this person, to actually make a pure-blooded Kun Peng carry her forward?

Everyone looked at one another, then their gazes toward Kun Peng Zi became somewhat disdainful. A dignified Kun Peng had actually fallen so low. He was truly bringing shame upon an overlord race!

"Hmph!"

Facing those many mocking gazes, Kun Peng Zi narrowed his eyes slightly. Immediately, he no longer concealed his aura. With the support of supreme-grade power, a formidable presence comparable to the initial Reincarnation Stage instantly enveloped heaven and earth.

Sensing Kun Peng Zi's pressure, the nearby members of the Dragon Clan were fiercely startled and hurriedly withdrew their gazes, no longer daring to size him up without restraint.

"Ants!"

Kun Peng Zi snorted coldly again, a trace of disdain flashing through his eyes. These members of the Dragon Clan had mediocre ability, but no small amount of arrogance. Short-sighted fools. They had no idea what kind of person he followed. How could they be allowed to criticize?

A trace of unease also flashed across Duan Tao's face. For the Dragon Clan members to be cowed by a Kun Peng was indeed somewhat disgraceful and weakened their momentum. But with the lady here backing him up, there was no one who dared provoke Kun Peng Zi.

After adjusting his mood, Duan Tao continued leading Mu Zi forward. As they moved deeper into the clan grounds, flying became inconvenient. Mu Zi stepped down from Kun Peng Zi's back, and the latter then rose upright like a man and followed behind her.

The three of them passed through winding corridors and finally saw Qing Zhi inside a stone chamber. At this moment, the latter was holding a cup of Green Tea and standing leisurely within the stone chamber. When he saw Mu Zi's figure, he looked over, and clear laughter rang through the room.

"Haha, after half a year apart, you have become even more impossible to see through!"

Mu Zi's eyes also held some surprise. Compared to the last time they met, Qing Zhi's aura was clearly much stronger, and the Reincarnation fluctuations spreading from him were far beyond before.

"Congratulations on successfully passing the Reincarnation Tribulation!"

Facing Mu Zi's congratulations, the corners of Qing Zhi's mouth lifted slightly. Then he sighed softly and said,

"By luck. The Reincarnation Tribulation is far too dangerous. I almost failed and lost my life. Passing the First Cycle Reincarnation Tribulation is my limit."

Mu Zi: .

Hearing Qing Zhi's modest words, Mu Zi secretly shook her head. Passing the First Cycle Reincarnation Tribulation in half a year was clearly done with ease. It could hardly be called any sort of limit.

In the memories of her previous life, Qing Zhi would break through to the Second Cycle Reincarnation Stage a year later, becoming one of the peak experts in the world outside the Ancient Eight Lords.

Given time, he might even pass the third cycle of Reincarnation. So this was the so-called "Reincarnation Tribulation is very hard"?
