In the vast ocean, there is a place that is unaffected by tsunamis and hurricanes; that place is the Tianxin Sect Three Islands, where the Tian Xin Sect is located.

The Three Islands of Tian Xin were originally a natural Three Talents Formation, possessing the effect of gathering spiritual energy. Zhang Xingfeng further built upon it to set up the most famous and Tianxin Sect —the Realm of Illusory Stars!

This was set up by Zhang Xingfeng after he reached the early stage of the Body Integration Realm, relying on the strength of a master who had reached the Great Accomplishment. Moreover, because of the natural Three Talents Formation inherent in the Three Islands of Tian Xin, its power was even greater!

Zhang Xingfeng could sense the immense power of the Illusionary Star Realm. He was certain that even Heavenly Immortal could not break into it. According to the secret records of the Tianxin Sect, only Great Luo Golden Immortal could break through the Illusionary Star Realm. One could imagine how powerful this Illusionary Star Realm was.

Zhang Xingfeng reached the pre- Body Integration ten years later!

At this moment, on the central island of the Tianxin Sect, the Tianxin Sect's headquarters were built around a massive mountain covered in Yingchan Flower and a lake. At the foot of the mountain, near the lake, were numerous buildings housing over two thousand 78th-generation disciples and over five thousand 79th-generation disciples who had reached the Golden Core Stage in recent decades. The true core of the Tianxin Sect lay in the palace atop the mountain, where dozens of 77th-generation disciples and several geniuses of the 78th generation, whose cultivation had reached the Soul Departure Stage, resided. Considering that only half of the 77th-generation disciples had reached the Soul Departure Stage, one can imagine how exceptional the aptitude of those few 78th-generation disciples was.

Beneath the palace atop the mountain, deep within its belly, lie numerous mysterious chambers. Some contain precious cultivation treasures, while others hold top-tier Law Artifact artifacts and immortal artifacts.

These are dozens of secret chambers that Zhang Xingfeng built himself. The first chamber was protected by Zhang Xingfeng with a restriction. These dozens of secret chambers are also the forbidden area of the entire Tianxin Sect. Only Zhang Xingfeng's permission can be used to enter. For decades, Zhang Xingfeng has often refined Law Artifact in his spare time in order to upgrade the level of his Qi Cauldron. Now the Qi Cauldron is yellow and can refine dozens of top-level magical Law Artifact at once using ordinary materials.

That's the advantage of the Qi Cauldron: it's fast and can fully utilize the offensive power of materials. Over the decades, Zhang Xingfeng has forged countless Law Artifacts to upgrade the Qi Cauldron, even using many precious materials to create immortal artifacts. These magical and immortal Law Artifact were then stored in secret chambers by Zhang Xingfeng as capital for the development of the Tianxin Sect!

When will the Qi Cauldron reach the green level? Only when it reaches the green level can Zhang Xingfeng mass-produce immortal artifacts. Even if they are Low-grade Immortal Artifact, if every disciple of the Tianxin Sect has one, would the Tianxin Sect still be threatened by other forces in the Mortal World?

At this moment, Zhang Xingfeng was in a secret room inside the mountain.

The yellow earth Qi Cauldron was swirling in front of Zhang Xingfeng, and a white flame was below the Qi Cauldron, close to its Qi Cauldron. This white flame was the fully Great Accomplishment Six-Flavor True Fire.

Zhang Xingfeng closed his eyes, his mind completely immersed in the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable.

Within Zhang Xingfeng's body, the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable was completely enveloped by a pale purple flame. That was the Heavenly Fire. With the Six-Flavor True Fire Great Accomplishment and the Xuanwu Body being fully cultivated, the Heavenly Fire within Zhang Xingfeng's body began to increase.

The meridians throughout his body had become fully energized, unlike before when they were only partially energized. Moreover, the energy of the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable -Purple Gold Yuan Venerable had greatly increased. In terms of quality, due to the increasing amount of Heavenly Fire, the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable seemed to be clearer, almost like a miniature version of Zhang Xingfeng. Zhang Xingfeng knew that when the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable was completely similar to his physical body, he might possess an evolved version of the Chaos Power — the Limitless Power.

"Zhang boy, the Qi Cauldron has changed! The Qi Cauldron has changed!" Tianyu's excited voice suddenly rang out.

Zhang Xingfeng instantly recovered from the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable, his eyes snapping open, the visible light shooting only at the Qi Cauldron that had turned green.

"Haha... Tianyu, I, Zhang Xingfeng, have been waiting for this day for fifty years! Now I've finally succeeded! Immortal artifacts, haha... I'll have as many as I want from now on!" Zhang Xingfeng stood up excitedly, his hands skillfully forming the Eighteen Hand Seals for Collecting the Cauldron!

The green Qi Cauldron, emitting a faint green light, spun towards Zhang Xingfeng, shrinking as it flew.

With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xingfeng sent out dozens of top-tier magical Law Artifact that had just been refined inside the cauldron.

Zhang Xingfeng was pleased to see the dozens of top-tier Law Artifact flying in the air. "Not bad, the power of these Law Artifact is probably much better than that of ordinary magical Law Artifact, and they seem to have some of the characteristics of immortal artifacts."

Tianyu sneered, "Hmph, you brat, tell me how many Law Artifacts and immortal weapons you've forged over the past few decades!"

Tianyu felt a pang of heartache at the thought. It was one thing for Zhang Xingfeng to refine magical Law Artifact —he could do that with just a few materials—but Zhang Xingfeng's method of refining immortal artifacts relied entirely on materials, not refining techniques! He had continuously refined countless precious materials using his Qi Cauldron.

Zhang Xingfeng waved his hand and took the Qi Cauldron back, saying, "Tianyu, you really are stingy. If I hadn't spent so many precious materials to refine this immortal artifact, would the Qi Cauldron have evolved so quickly?"

Tianyu was taken aback. That made sense. If Zhang Xingfeng hadn't used such good materials to refine Qi Cauldron, the Qi Cauldron would probably only have reached the yellow level by now. To reach the green level, it would have taken at least another fifty years!

"But have you forgotten how many immortal artifacts and Law Artifact you've forged!" Tianyu was still unwilling to accept it. Back then, Pangu spent countless millennia searching for so many precious materials in the desperate realms of the immortal and demon worlds, but Zhang Xingfeng used them like worthless stones.

Zhang Xingfeng lowered his head and muttered, "Hmm... As for immortal artifacts, it seems there are several hundred... Hmm... about five hundred! As for Law Artifact..." Zhang Xingfeng frowned and thought for a long time.

"Zhang kid, let me tell you, you've already filled all the secret chambers with magical Law Artifact. There's no room left for these top-tier magical Law Artifact you have! I really don't know how you managed to craft so many Law Artifacts. One secret chamber can hold nearly ten thousand Law Artifact, and there are dozens of secret chambers!"

Zhang Xingfeng raised an eyebrow and said, "What's the big deal? I use Mysterious Sky Stone to refine magical Law Artifact. The Azure Dragon Continent has plenty of Mysterious Sky Stone, and the Mysterious Sky Stone I've spent so far don't even amount to the amount found in a small mountain of Mysterious Sky Stone Mountain outside the capital. Besides, when Yu Yan and I were traveling in Haiyi, we discovered an island that was entirely composed of Jianyu Stone —a whole mountain of Jianyu Stone! Hehe, so there's no problem with how many Law Artifact can refine!"

Tianyu snorted but said nothing. He was also puzzled by the sheer number of treasures on the Azure Dragon Continent! The Jianyu Stone was an essential material for forging immortal artifacts, even more precious than the Mysterious Sky Stone. Yet, it existed here, forming a mountain range! A mountain range, a mountain range formed from Jianyu Stone! It was truly astonishing. Tianyu still remembered the expressions on Zhang Xingfeng's face when he and *** Yan first discovered the Jianyu Stone on that island. Tianyu couldn't help but sigh, "How could Zhang Xingfeng have such good luck?"

Zhang Xingfeng ignored Tianyu's chatter in his mind and, with a thought, the green Qi Cauldron immediately flew out.

"Hmm... Let's test its ability to refine immortal artifacts now," Zhang Xingfeng said with a slight smile. With a slight movement of his hands, Zhang Xingfeng threw in a top-tier immortal artifact that had previously consumed a large amount of materials. Adding a considerable amount of ordinary materials, and it was done.

"Hmph, Tianyu, you said I wasted precious materials, but now that I'm putting those immortal artifacts back into the cauldron to refine them, can you still say I wasted them?" Zhang Xingfeng had heard Tianyu's nagging countless times.

Tianyu immediately praised, "Hmm... not bad, not bad at all. You really know how to make use of things. Not only did you use those materials to upgrade the Qi Cauldron, but now you're using them again. Although the effectiveness is slightly reduced, it's negligible! Clever!"

Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly and continued refining! A brilliant white flame flew towards the Qi Cauldron.

Three years later.

Of those five hundred-plus immortal artifacts, five hundred were returned to the cauldron to be reforged into immortal artifacts. As a result, these five hundred immortal artifacts, some of which were of lower grade and some of which were of intermediate grade, were combined with some ordinary materials to become ten thousand Low-grade Immortal Artifact!

Zhang Xingfeng was very happy because he knew that if he used ordinary refining methods, he could only produce a maximum of two thousand Low-grade Immortal Artifact. However, the Qi Cauldron fully utilized the precious materials and managed to produce ten thousand Low-grade Immortal Artifact.

This result astonished even Zhang Xingfeng himself! Ten thousand immortal artifacts? Even in the immortal realm, this is extremely rare. Cultivation sects are proud to have one or two artifacts, let alone ten thousand!

Therefore, Zhang Xingfeng decreed that disciples who made great progress in their cultivation and made significant contributions to the Star Peak Family could obtain Low-grade Immortal Artifact!

Forty years later!

Zhang Xingfeng has now reached the early stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and the Heavenly Fire within his body accounts for almost half of his body. However, Zhang Xingfeng is being cautious in his tempering, taking it slowly. But as the Heavenly Fire increases, the speed of tempering his body is also getting faster and faster. Now that he has reached the halfway point, Zhang Xingfeng believes that in less than a year, he will have fully cultivated the Skyfire Body, and he will not even need to rely on the Heavenly Fire in the Heavenly Tribulation!

Now Zhang Xingfeng is using Heavenly Fire to refine immortal artifacts. As a result, the Qi Cauldron, which took thirty years to reach the cyan level, has been evolved into a blue level in an instant. When the Qi Cauldron reaches the blue level, it may produce Top-grade Immortal Artifact!

When crafting at the cyan level, using some good materials, you can usually get Mid-grade Immortal Artifact. But once you reach the blue level, one out of ten immortal artifacts crafted at once will be a Top-grade Immortal Artifact!

From then on, the number of Top-grade Immortal Artifact in the Tianxin Sect increased dramatically, while Mid-grade Immortal Artifact became the credentials of the Tianxin Sect disciples. As for Low-grade Immortal Artifact, most of them had already been collected by Zhang Xingfeng into the Heavenly Universe, occupying space in his secret chamber. Moreover, the Tianxin Sect Mid-grade Immortal Artifact!

Eight years later!

After forging one hundred Top-grade Immortal Artifact and nine hundred Mid-grade Immortal Artifact, Zhang Xingfeng announced: He is about to Tribulation Transcendence!

Before Tribulation Transcendence, Zhang Xingfeng passed on the position of sect leader to his son, Zhang Lingqi. Zhang Lingqi has now reached an astonishing Avatar stage of the Avatar realm. In the entire Tianxin Sect, only most of the disciples of the 77th generation and a few geniuses of the 78th generation are higher than him! In the Tianxin Sect, only Zhang Dabu, Lang Feng, and *** Yan have reached the Body Integration Realm. *** Yan cultivates with Zhang Xingfeng and is frequently transformed by Zhang Xingfeng's Chaos Power. Her power is completely supported by Zhang Xingfeng's power.

When Zhang Xingfeng established his sect, he stipulated that the head of the Star Peak Family must be a descendant of Zhang Xingfeng. In other words, this was Lineage system. The sect leader of the Tianxin Sect was decided by the previous sect leader and did not necessarily have to be a descendant of Zhang Xingfeng. The Star Peak Family also had the right to mobilize half of the disciples of the Tian Xin at any time.

In the western part of the Ming Dynasty, in the vast desert.

"You stay here, whatever you do, don't come any closer! The Heavenly Tribulation is not something you can withstand!" Zhang Xingfeng had experienced the terror of the Heavenly Tribulation in his previous life. Even with over three thousand years of cultivation, he couldn't hold on against the 49 heavenly Heavenly Tribulation bolts and collapsed before the final one.

"Second brother, are you confident in facing the Heavenly Tribulation?" Lang Feng asked solemnly. ***Yan and some of her brothers and children looked at Zhang Xingfeng.

Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly. His true skill had now reached the peak of the Great Accomplishment stage, much stronger than it had been back then. Most importantly, his Skyfire Body was now fully developed, giving him complete confidence in facing the Heavenly Tribulation. In fact, Zhang Xingfeng even had an extremely crazy idea about the Heavenly Tribulation.

"What are you worried about? Let me tell you, this Heavenly Tribulation poses absolutely no challenge to me. Not even a little bit!" Zhang Xingfeng's aura suddenly intensified.

The brothers, relatives, and disciples around him had all grown up alongside Zhang Xingfeng, and they all held a deep and unwavering admiration for Zhang Xingfeng. It was a genuine and unconditional admiration, and they believed that no difficulty could hinder Zhang Xingfeng. However, the Heavenly Tribulation's reputation was simply too great! This caused them to become overwhelmed with concern.

"Alright, you can all watch from here. This will be beneficial for your future Tribulation Transcendence. Remember, don't get too close. Your strength is completely insufficient!" Zhang Xingfeng said coldly and seriously. In the past hundred years, at the pinnacle of power, Zhang Xingfeng's prestige was so strong that not all of them could help but obey him.

Zhang Xingfeng smiled brightly and gracefully flew westward.

Zhang Xingfeng stood in the desert, smiling. He didn't set up any formations because he had strong confidence!

The wind rises...

A sudden, deafening roar echoed through the sky, instantly transforming the landscape. The once Lan Tian turned a vibrant red, and the temperature in the desert area where Zhang Xingfeng was located soared to over a thousand degrees Celsius.

Looking at the purplish-red clouds overhead, Zhang Xingfeng's purple scarf, which had been binding his white hair, suddenly burst open, sending his white hair flying straight up like steel wires. A bright smile appeared on Zhang Xingfeng's face.

Because the Heavenly Tribulation has begun...
