New Chapter: Nirvana of the Six Tribulations Method

It sounds pretty good. He doesn't even need to wander the stars; he can see all sorts of different civilizations and ancient texts in one place.

In particular, if the overall atmosphere is very relaxed, he can avoid the sovereign and not confront him directly, then there really won't be any problems.

Wang Xuan didn't want to be bound by anything and never thought about joining any sect or lineage. The status of a sponsored student... was something he could accept.

Seeing him lost in thought, Su Tong assumed he was disappointed at not being able to enter the so-called Upper Academy and said, "There's nothing to compare. Some species, some geniuses, are indeed beyond comprehension. They are born with knowledge and can communicate with heaven and earth. We simply cannot compare."

According to him, Pingtian Academy is divided into the Upper Academy and Lower Academy. The Lower Academy consists of geniuses recommended by various extraordinary grotto-heavens and mythical planets.

The Upper Academy is even more special, as it is inhabited by people who are close to immortals, or even have already become immortals, and they are allowed to practice some special methods in the mortal world.

Those extraordinary geniuses, those born with divine powers, are different from others, cultivate quickly, and can even "wrestle" with those who have ascended to immortality when they reach the Great Perfection of the Ascension to Immortality Master of Nurturing Life.

At this point, Su Tong's expression turned solemn. To be able to compete with a true immortal without becoming one was terrifying. When he first heard this, he was stunned for a long time, feeling utterly powerless.

He was considered one of the most famous geniuses of his generation on this planet, but once he went to the Ascension Star, there was really no comparison.

Wang Xuan became interested and inquired about the specifics of the Ascension Star, discussing how powerful the divine beings there were.

"The most powerful immortal from the previous generation naturally came from the Upper Academy. He was an exchange student, not from our star system. It is said that he was a mutant with three heads and six arms. His cultivation path was to make his body mutate in a controllable and benign direction. Physical mutation is only one aspect. The most important thing is the mental mutation. He has three primordial spirits, which are unfathomable. It is said that he mutated to the sixth level of the Ascension to Immortality."

"The strongest being from the previous era, at the Great Perfection stage of the Master of Nurturing Life, had killed more than a dozen Immortal-Grade Creature, which was truly terrifying. However, he doesn't seem to be from our star field. He is suspected to be a predatory race that lives by following extraordinary water and grass, but his reputation is not bad. His realm when he ascended is unknown, but he was definitely in the middle to late stage of Ascension to Immortality."

Wang Xuan listened intently, it seemed that the Ascension Star was indeed worth the trip.

Su Tong then introduced some legendary Heavenly Prodigy from the Upper Academy, some of whom, after Ascension to Immortality, created their own scriptures, possessing unparalleled strength that crushed ancient immortals.

Some people mastered scriptures that were very difficult to learn, such as the Nine Transformations of Ascension, and remained in the mortal world for a long time. Only when they were close to the Heavenly level did they ascend to the True Immortal Realm.

"Is the Nine Transformations of Ascension so special?" Wang Xuan asked.

Su Tong nodded and said, "Of course, each transformation can effectively enhance potential, change physique, amplify the primordial spirit, and make it more resilient. Most importantly, in the end, it can give the spirit the quality of immortality."

Wang Xuan was astonished; this was truly an extraordinary scripture, worthy of study and emulation.

"Is there Nine Transformations of Ascension here?"

"No." Su Tong shook his head. That kind of scripture was extremely precious and was only collected on the Ascension Star. The original lineage had long been extinct.

However, he mentioned the Six Tribulations of Thunder Fire Method, which is somewhat related to the Nine Transformations of Ascension. Some people say that this is the prerequisite and prelude to practicing the Nine Transformations of Ascension, and this technique is indeed circulating outside.

However, he warned very seriously that one should never practice this method, as it is a dead end.

"Is there anything I need to prepare or be aware of before heading to Ascension Star?" Wang Xuan asked. Although it was an unfamiliar planet, it was already something to look forward to.

"Just keep a low profile and don't cause trouble. Even a once undefeated genius who dominated the Ten Stars would be suppressed with a wave of his hand if he acted arrogantly there, and would be taught a lesson in no time."

Su Tong said, then added a reminder, especially to those who entered Pingtian Academy through sheer force and bloodshed, not to provoke them, as it could be dangerous.

"What's the meaning?"

"We were recommended to enter the academy, while some people rose to prominence on their own, overcame all obstacles, and earned their qualifications based on their actual achievements."

Generally speaking, if there were a hierarchy of contempt, the students on sponsored training programs would be at the bottom.

Those Supernatural Practitioner walked the narrow bridge and defeated numerous competitors along the way had little goodwill towards those who had obtained recommendation slots in advance.

Wang Xuan was speechless. They hadn't even entered Pingtian Academy yet, so how could they feel that they were already at the very bottom of the pyramid?

"Don't hold a grudge when the time comes, you'll get used to it eventually." It's clear that even though Su Tong hasn't gone yet, he's already set his mind on things and is ready to give up.

Wang Xuan was conflicted. He wasn't used to lying down. It seemed necessary to strengthen his "buried" genius attributes so that if they were to manifest in the future, it wouldn't be too abrupt.

"It's alright. As long as you don't cause trouble and stay in the Lower Academy obediently, no one will bother you out of boredom," Su Tong said with a smile.

Wang Xuan's expression changed slightly. He felt that he definitely couldn't stay in the Lower Academy. He was going to look up all sorts of classics. Who knew what kind of people he would run into? He couldn't just bow down to every single one he met, could he?

Seeing his expression, Su Tong understood and advised, "Brother Qin, you must not act rashly. I have an Uncle was sent to the Ascension Star for training back then. He was so angry with the people from the Upper Academy that he was almost in the realm of immortals, but he was beaten so badly by a girl who was not even two hundred years old that he doubted his life and his Dao Heart collapsed for more than a hundred years. He still hasn't become an immortal!"

Half a month later, the dust settled, and everything came to a conclusion. The thirty spots were mainly reserved for direct disciples of the Four Great Sects, with a small portion divided among other sects. As for independent cultivators, there were only Wang Xuan and a cat spirit from the demon race. It was a win-win situation, as people from different social strata could participate.

During this period, Wang Xuan purchased a semi-public scripture circulating in this grotto-heaven— the Six Tribulations of Thunder Fire Method.

This scripture is extraordinary, and can even be said to have some profound secrets, but it is extremely difficult to master. After making some progress, one needs to actively receive the heavenly tribulation and use thunder and fire to "wash" the physical body and "nourish" the primordial spirit. Combined with unpredictable Ancient Method, once the first attempt is successful, one's aptitude can be improved!

However, very few people have ever dared to practice this path, because once you embark on it, it's practically a path of Self-Destruction.

A genius who survives a tribulation of lightning and fire is generally fine, and it can effectively improve their aptitude.

However, once you start practicing this method, you can't stop. Even if you improve your aptitude once and then stop practicing, thunder and fire will still come knocking on your door when a thunderstorm arrives.

Even when others are undergoing tribulation, those who have practiced the Six Tribulations of Thunder and Fire will have their tribulations shift and strike them directly from hundreds of miles away.

There are many geniuses who survive one tribulation, but not many who survive three, and those who survive four are extremely rare.

In fact, even if one survives the fifth tribulation, it is useless. In the last two thousand years, no one has survived the sixth tribulation, which means that all the beings in this large cave heaven who practiced the Six Tribulations of Thunder and Fire in recent times have died tragically.

When Su Tong and Ling Xuan came to the mountains Kaiming City to find Wang Xuan, they saw the Heavenly Thunder Fire dissipate and the scarlet clouds recede.

Soon, they saw Wang Xuan, who was covered in smoke and had red skin. He was changing his clothes and there was a large area of charred black blood on the ground.

Su Tong was shocked. "Brother Qin, you... you wouldn't have practiced the Six Tribulations of Thunder Fire Method, would you? Didn't I tell you how terrifying it is? No one in recent history has been able to survive to the sixth tribulation."

"Haven't we survived a calamity?" Wang Xuan said with a smile. He practiced this kind of technique in order to reasonably enhance his buried genius attributes and lay the groundwork for the future.

The main reason is that he doesn't want to endure lying down.

Ling Xuan sighed, "The first tribulation is similar to a normal heavenly tribulation, but starting from the second tribulation, the Heavenly Might thunder and fire will increase significantly with each tribulation. No one can withstand the sixth tribulation."

Su Tong looked at Wang Xuan with great reluctance. His eyes... clearly showed that he felt he would only see him once more, and that he believed that in a few years, Wang Xuan would be gone and would die a tragic death under the lightning.

The two of them came to tell Wang Xuan that they would set off together in three months to ascend to the Ascension Star. Seeing the scene before them, they felt as if they were seeing his remains, and were slightly saddened.

"Two thousand years ago, someone mastered it, so I think I can make it through." Wang Xuan reassured them, making the whole thing seem like a proclamation... that he was going to die.

"Brother Qin, could it be that you've become interested in the Nine Transformations of Ascension, which is why you're practicing the Six Tribulations of Thunder Fire Method ahead of schedule?" Su Tong felt helpless; that kind of technique was simply not designed for a normal genius.

"Even the Heavenly Prodigy talents in the Upper Academy, after practicing the Nine Transformations of Ascension, would just die while practicing," Ling Xuan said.

Overall, the Nine Transformations of Ascension is terrifying, and few people in the Upper Academy dare to practice it. It is a technique that even naturally born gods would actively avoid.

Three months later, Su Tong and Ling Xuan saw Wang Xuan again, looking like he had survived a calamity, his body steaming and having survived the tribulations of thunder and fire. The two were somewhat stunned.

They hesitated, wanting to speak but unable to. How could they possibly persuade him? He had already embarked on this dead end.

"Brother Qin, get married and have children. In the future, I will take your offspring as my disciples," Su Tong said.

"Stop practicing. The passive lightning and fire tribulation will come a little later, allowing you to withstand it for a few more years," Ling Xuan advised.

The two are already considering his funeral arrangements.

Wang Xuan didn't care. He had studied the Six Tribulations Method, which would be beneficial to him at this stage. After the Six Tribulations, he could improve his physical body and primordial spirit.

"Is it time to hit the road? Let's go then," he said casually.

The extraordinary starship set sail, heading into outer space and entering the sea of stars. They arrived on the Heavenly Worm Star, where they prepared to transfer to a super spaceship and embark on their journey together with many other students from other planets who were being trained in the program.

More than a dozen teams have gathered here, coming from different extraordinary lands, including the Heavenly Worm Race, the Stone Human Race, the Four-Winged Elephant Race, the Dark Race, and the Unicorn God Race.

The super spaceship was launched, traversed the starry sky, passed through the wormhole, and approached the Ascension Star several days later. After strict inspection, it was allowed to proceed and officially land.

What Wang Xuan saw was completely different from what he had imagined. It was not like Land of Myth. Ascension Star rose up everywhere, and all kinds of high-tech flying vehicles were constantly moving around. The cities on the surface were very modern.

Tomorrow's updates will still be around 5 PM and 10 PM.
