Cultivation World: The Tianxin Sect on the Brink of Collapse - Loose Immortal Tribulation
After the auction, the performances began, including song and dance. The performers were all female cultivators, and watching them gracefully dance, they did indeed have a fairy-like quality. However, these Nine Heavens Profound Immortal and members of the Eight Great Lineage didn't pay much attention to these performances, as they often saw such shows. Nevertheless, the Seven Great Sects and the Eight Great Lineage had extensive business dealings, and this was a good opportunity to discuss and strengthen relationships.
Cao Tan sat down on the floating cloud, and these important figures gathered in twos and threes. Of course, some watched the song and dance, such as the Great Luo Golden Immortal, since the one representing the sect now was the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal.
"True Person Xingfeng seems to enjoy these songs and dances!" The Fang Clan Leader, the cold-hearted fellow, walked over. At this moment, he had lost all his coldness and only had a friendly smile.
Zhang Xingfeng, seeing that he had a good impression of the Fang Clan Leader, replied, "It's nothing. You can't just sit around daydreaming, right? So I can only pretend to watch the song and dance!"
"Hahaha..." the Fang Clan Leader laughed, "True Person really are a man of true character. Fang Yu, love making friends with people like True Person who are truly genuine."
Zhang Xingfeng was taken aback. This was the first time he had heard someone say that he was genuine. Perhaps ordinary people wouldn't dare to make such a comment. This Fang Clan Leader was a big figure on par with the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal, controlling that huge business Lineage. His status was naturally respected, so it was only natural for him to speak to Zhang Xingfeng like this.
"Clan Chief Fang really is... hahaha... This is the first time I, Zhang Xingfeng, have been called a true man. It feels pretty good, hehe, really good!" Zhang Xingfeng said with a bit of amusement.
Fang Yu's expression hardened. "How can True Person do this, Master Fang? Calling me Clan Chief Fang is too formal. Can't you just call Fang Yu or Brother Fang? The title 'Clan Chief Fang' always reminds me of doing business with others!"
Zhang Xingfeng felt a surge of goodwill towards Fang Yu and said, "Good, good, good, Brother Fang! But you can't come and go True Person, just call me Xingfeng!"
The two exchanged a glance and burst into laughter at the same time.
Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng felt his Messaging Jade Slip emitting waves, and immediately took it out from the sky.
"Master, Uncle-Master Biao is about to undergo the tribulation of Loose Immortal!"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Xingfeng was shocked. "Second Brother is about to Tribulation Transcendence!" Zhang Xingfeng was anxious; he knew very well that the tribulation of Loose Immortal was unlike the Heavenly Tribulation. The power of the Loose Immortal Tribulation was immense, and it couldn't be resisted simply by possessing a top-tier divine artifact. Having been separated from his brothers for so long, almost never to see them again, Zhang Xingfeng was naturally extremely concerned about these brothers with whom he had shared a bond of over three thousand years.
"Brother Fang, there are important matters at the sect, so I'll take my leave now!" Zhang Xingfeng immediately said to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu had just seen Zhang Xingfeng's anxious expression after he took out the Messaging Jade Slip, and knew that something important must have happened, so he said, "Xingfeng, you go first. There's nothing else to do. This gathering is just to get to know each other better!"
Zhang Xingfeng nodded and said loudly to those around him, "Everyone, Xingfeng has important business to attend to right now, so I'm really sorry, I have to leave early!"
Tian Nan immediately said, "If you really have something to do, then leave first. It's nothing serious for us!"
"Yes, True Person has something to do, they should go ahead and take care of it!"
One by one, the immortals spoke to Zhang Xingfeng in a friendly manner. Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng nodded slightly and then Teleportation disappeared from the pavilion. As soon as Zhang Xingfeng left the Purple Cloud Realm, he immediately took out the Star Brilliance from the sky.
They directly located the Tianyan Star on the Star Road Map within the Star Ru, then traversed space and headed straight for Tianyan Star.
***********
"Huh? What's going on? The tribulation clouds of the Loose Immortal were already brewing, so why are they starting to dissipate now?" Zhaoyun couldn't help but wonder as he looked at the dissipating tribulation clouds in the sky. This was something that had never happened before.
Biaohang and he had just gone out, but on their way back, the tribulation clouds suddenly began to form. The two of them were startled and immediately rushed towards the Tianxin Sect. After all, their brothers were there, and with the Four Symbols Immortal Tribulation Array, they were still confident.
Generally, one cannot ask others for help during the tribulation of Loose Immortal, because the higher the power of the person helping, the greater the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.
However, they were different. When the four of them joined forces, the power of their Loose Immortal Tribulation increased to nearly four times its original strength. However, the power of the Four Symbols Immortal Tribulation Array wasn't simply the sum of the four individuals' strengths, but rather increased geometrically. Its power was several times greater than that of four individuals alone without forming the formation. Therefore, joining forces was still advantageous. It was thanks to this that they had never failed in their Immortal Loose Immortal.
It should be understood that the tribulation of Loose Immortal is no less difficult than the Heavenly Tribulation.
Biaohang was also puzzled. This tribulation of the Loose Immortal was his, and he had sensed it long ago. The tribulation clouds had even appeared just now, but why were they starting to dissipate?
Suddenly, Zhong Heng had a thought, though he was still unsure. He said, "Brother Biao, I've thought of a possibility, but I need you to try it out!"
The Biaohang fellow was confused, but upon hearing a possibility, he immediately roared, "Tell me quickly! Tell me what you need me to do, and I'll do it! The tribulation of the Loose Immortal has come and gone; I can't rest easy until it comes down!"
Zhong Heng said, "Brother Biao, why don't you step out of my Tianxin Sect's protective formation and take a look? I reckon our sect's miraculous protective formation has prevented this Loose Immortal Tribulation from sensing your presence!"
Biaohang, and Zhaoyun beside him nodded, saying, "Yes, that's possible. I witnessed the power of the grand formation that Big Brother set up for half a year. So many experts from the Purple Cloud Realm came, but they all failed completely against this sect-protecting formation, while our sect-protecting formation didn't have any problems operating. This means that so many immortals are nothing to this formation! From this, we can see just how powerful this formation is. It's probably possible that the formation completely blocked Second Brother's aura!"
Upon hearing this, Biaohang immediately roared and charged towards the outside of the formation.
Zhang Xingfeng passed on the method to pass through the only passage of the formation to the elders and others of the Tianxin Sect. Of course, Zhang Xingfeng's brothers, including Biaohang, also knew about it. Not many people in the Tianxin Sect knew about this passage. Only the core disciples of the Danzhi class knew about it, while those of the Wuzhi class were not qualified to know.
After all, this formation is the foundation of the Tianxin Sect.
However, this passage was set up by Zhang Xingfeng himself, and the entire grand formation was created using Zhang Xingfeng own Limitless Power. Zhang Xingfeng could change the passage at any time. This grand formation was almost one with Zhang Xingfeng; Zhang Xingfeng could completely control it. Within this grand formation, even Immortal Monarch was no match for Zhang Xingfeng!
"Oh dear, the tribulation clouds are coming out again!" Biaohang glared fiercely at the tribulation clouds that were beginning to gather in the sky.
Biaohang took a step back and re-entered the great formation. The tribulation clouds in the sky churned incessantly, seemingly searching for Biaohang's presence. After a long while, these tribulation clouds reluctantly and slowly dissipated.
"Hehe, I'm out again!" Biaohang took another step forward and walked out of the formation.
The tribulation clouds immediately began to gather. This time, Biaohang was not in a hurry. When the tribulation clouds had formed more than halfway, Biaohang took a step back triumphantly and returned to the formation.
Unfortunately, this He Yun lacked wisdom and only knew to act according to the rules set by that transcendent being when the Immortal Realm first existed. It only knew to attack the aura of its target. However, now that it could no longer sense auras, it could only slowly dissipate.
"Hahaha... Hahaha... When did I, Biao Lao Er, get so cocky? Hahaha... In the past, this Tribulation of the Loose Immortal always played us for fools. This time, I'm going to have some fun with this Tribulation of the Loose Immortal! Hehe, you've gathered again, I'm retreating!" Biao Lao Er retreated triumphantly back into the formation.
"Oh dear, it's gone... I'm out again!" Biao Lao Er was having a great time, and the others observing everything from within the formation were also watching with amusement. Who wouldn't feel thrilled to be toying with the Tribulation of the Loose Immortal?
"Oh... they've gathered again!"
When Zhang Xingfeng arrived at Fangyan Mountain, he saw a scene that made him both amused and exasperated: Biao Lao Er was playing with the tribulation clouds in the sky! Zhang Xingfeng was worried about Biao Lao Er's safety!
"What's the big deal? Haha..." Zhang Xingfeng shook his head helplessly with a wry smile.
"Second brother, how old are you, still playing around!" Zhang Xingfeng shouted at Biao Lao Er, who was engrossed in the game. Biao Lao Er suddenly snapped out of it and, upon seeing Zhang Xingfeng, cackled, "Big brother, big brother, come back! Come see how I'm playing with these tribulation clouds! You don't know, I was really something just now! I could make the tribulation clouds gather, and I could make them disperse! Ah, the tribulation clouds are all gathered, oh no!" Biao Lao Er was so focused on talking to Zhang Xingfeng that he forgot about the tribulation clouds gathering in the sky. When he looked up, the tribulation clouds had completely gathered.
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning struck down, chasing after Biao Lao Er.
Zhang Xingfeng flashed forward and with a wave of his hand, blocked the heavenly lightning. The heavenly lightning couldn't even break through the layer of energy that Zhang Xingfeng's Limitless Power had laid out, let alone Zhang Xingfeng powerful body.
"Hey kid, why aren't you going in? Do you want to be struck by lightning here?" Zhang Xingfeng had learned about the benefits of this formation from his observation earlier.
"Big brother, aren't you going in?" Biao Lao Er took a step back and entered the formation, staring at Zhang Xingfeng as he spoke. He knew that this Loose Immortal Tribulation could at most deal with Great Luo Golden Immortal!
"No rush. How could I miss such a good opportunity to cultivate?" Zhang Xingfeng smiled, looking at the tribulation clouds in the sky. This tribulation of the Loose Immortal was powerful enough to deal with Great Luo Golden Immortal!
"No rush. How could I miss such a good opportunity to cultivate?" Zhang Xingfeng smiled, looking at the tribulation clouds in the sky. This tribulation of the Loose Immortal was powerful enough to deal with Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Of course, don't assume that Zhang Xingfeng can easily defend himself.
This Tribulation of Loose Immortal can even deal with Grand Luo Great Luo Golden Immortal. And these Grand Luo Great Luo Golden Immortal aren't just those with mere immortal energy; they are well-prepared, possess Top-grade Immortal Artifact, and have set up numerous restrictive formations. Even so, Great Luo Golden Immortal might be annihilated by this Tribulation of Loose Immortal! One can imagine how powerful this Tribulation of Loose Immortal is.
At this moment, Zhang Xingfeng planned to withstand the heavenly lightning directly with his body without any prohibition or defense.
"After surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, in the palace of the Cold Light Demon Emperor, I relied on the Azure Sky Cold Qi and the Heavenly Fire within my body to temper my body through the alternation of cold and heat, thus advancing further. In the palace of the Blood Kill Demon Emperor, I further enhanced my physical body with the help of the Dragon Spirit Blood Pool. I wonder what level my physical body has reached now. Hmm... I can't give up this opportunity to temper my body!" Zhang Xingfeng was already full of anticipation for this Loose Immortal Tribulation.
If a fully prepared Great Luo Golden Immortal could be eliminated, then the power of the Loose Immortal Tribulation at its peak would be something Zhang Xingfeng could not withstand at this moment. After all, Zhang Xingfeng's physical body had only reached the Purple Skyfire realm. Although he had a bit of Deep Purple Skyfire, a well-prepared Great Luo Golden Immortal with properly arranged immortal artifacts and restrictions could definitely be compared to a body with Deep Purple Skyfire.
"Hehe, but I, Zhang Xingfeng, am not stupid. If I can't resist, I can still let the Rou Jin come out and turn it into armor!" Zhang Xingfeng was very proud of himself because he had thought of such a method to temper the body.
"This can help my brother Tribulation Transcendence, and it also allows me to cultivate. Why not?" Zhang Xingfeng smiled broadly as he looked at the tribulation clouds beginning to coalesce in the sky. The Rou Jin Armor was equivalent to a mid-grade divine artifact. Although the armor it formed wasn't as strong as a dedicated mid-grade divine artifact armor, it wasn't much weaker. Combined with Zhang Xingfeng's physical body, the defense was definitely sufficient. However, this Soft Armor should only be used as a last resort when it couldn't withstand the attacks; it wasn't necessary now.
The tribulation clouds had begun to change continuously. After all, to deal with Zhang Xingfeng's level, the tribulation clouds automatically evolved to the highest level. The entire sky of Tianyan Star began to emit various colors, and even outside Tianyan Star, in the starry sky, powerful lightning energy began to gather. These enormous energies began to converge in the tribulation clouds, undergoing fusion to form terrifying lightning! This was the heavenly lightning used to deal with Great Luo Golden Immortal!
Zhang Xingfeng squinted as he watched the lightning flashing in the sky above amidst the tribulation clouds. Suddenly, he became spirited and roared, "Hahaha... Come on, smash me!" The heavenly fire on Zhang Xingfeng's body had already burst forth involuntarily.
The Tianxin Sect disciples who witnessed this scene in Fangyan Mountain all looked at Zhang Xingfeng with awe, as if he were a god.
