Success in Breaking Through the Realm, Lightning Tribulation Refines the Body

The smooth completion of refining the Life Dao Scripture this time far exceeded Cihang's expectations.

He had spent two thousand years comprehending the Dao of Life and had only grasped a superficial understanding.

Yet, deducing the Dao Scripture and deriving divine abilities and techniques only took a millennium.

When Cihang's consciousness returned, he immediately noticed the difference.

"The Spiritual Treasure space has been promoted to a Grotto-Heaven?"

With just a thought, Cihang received the original intent of the Glazed Pure Vase.

"Truly a double blessing!"

Cihang couldn't help but sigh.

He now understood why everything had gone so smoothly.

With the birth of the Grotto-Heaven, as its master, his destiny had greatly increased.

When destiny surges, everything one does is bound to succeed.

The significant increase in destiny was the primary reason he could deduce the Life Dao Scripture so quickly.

Generally, Top-tier Innate Spiritual Roots possess the ability to suppress destiny, and the Ancient Life Tree was no exception.

When the Ancient Life Tree recognized him as its master, his destiny had already fully recovered and was showing signs of further increase.

Now, with the promotion of the Grotto-Heaven, his destiny had surged once more.

If it were to be materialized, it would be equivalent to the destiny of a Quasi-Saint.

It seemed he had underestimated the Ancient Life Tree; it had directly facilitated the evolution and birth of the Grotto-Heaven.

The birth of a Grotto-Heaven was not simply an expansion of area but a qualitative transformation.

Although this Grotto-Heaven was still at the lowest level, with the Ancient Life Tree present, its promotion was only a matter of time.

As the core of the Spiritual Treasure, the Glazed Pure Vase also had the opportunity to be promoted to a Supreme Treasure due to this Grotto-Heaven.

Although only three thousand years had passed, Cihang had undergone an overall transformation.

With these foundations, he would face almost no obstacles before reaching the Quasi-Saint realm.

It could truly be said that when destiny arrives, it cannot be stopped. This was probably the benefit of facing his tribulations head-on.

Although the journey had been perilous, the rewards were incredibly heaven-defying.

If he had truly hidden in the Western Kunlun to avoid tribulations, where would he have found these opportunities? He might not even have avoided his predestined fate and its twists and turns.

His conversation with Yang Mei made him understand that Yang Mei did not want to reveal himself earlier but was unable to.

The reason Yang Mei left the Great Desolation so early was because the Heavenly Dao had begun to revive.

Even as a Chaos Demon God, he could not escape suppression by the Heavenly Dao in the Great Desolation.

This was true for his main body, let alone a mere consciousness.

Yang Mei had paid a considerable price to awaken his memories at this turning point of destiny.

As for anything else, even Yang Mei could not foresee it.

This time, it was only because he had entered the Witch Race territory, and Pangu's destiny influenced the Heavenly Dao's perception, that Yang Mei could appear.

Otherwise, he feared he would have to wait much longer for this opportunity, or even miss it forever.

"Fortunately, everything turned out for the best!"

Cihang was overjoyed at this moment and began to carefully sense the newly born Grotto-Heaven.

Originally, this was just a Spiritual Treasure space, and he hadn't paid much attention to it. Now that it had been promoted to a Grotto-Heaven, he could no longer treat it the same way.

This would also be one of his foundations, and he needed to utilize it well.

He then proceeded to divide the regions within the Grotto-Heaven and rename them.

Since it was derived within the Glazed Pure Vase, he simply named it the Glazed Grotto-Heaven.

The boundless spiritual water lake was named the Glazed Realm Sea.

As the Grotto-Heaven was promoted, small islands began to emerge within the Realm Sea.

He believed that soon these islands would nurture new life.

The core island beneath his feet was named the Glazed Immortal Realm.

In the center of the Three Lights Divine Water lake, a patch of lotus flowers had grown, named the Creation Lotus Pond.

Cihang placed great hope on the lotus pond, wishing that it could be filled with Innate Lotuses in the future, becoming a true Creation Lotus Pond.

"With such a vast space, how should I cultivate and develop it?"

A Grotto-Heaven is not like ordinary space. To fully develop and utilize it requires constant management and cultivation by the immortal.

However, although the Glazed Grotto-Heaven was important, he could not abandon his cultivation because of it.

This would be putting the cart before the horse.

As for recruiting cultivators, it was even more impossible, as this involved his fundamental secrets. Cihang could not allow any external cultivators to enter the Grotto-Heaven.

"No, I'm not alone!"

In a flash of thought, Cihang found his candidate to manage things: the divine spirit nurtured by the Ancient Life Tree.

Only this divine spirit, who would never betray him, could put his mind at ease.

It was just one epoch; he could afford to wait.

"Now that everything is ready, it's time to break through to the Golden Immortal realm!"

After making arrangements for the Glazed Grotto-Heaven, Cihang also remembered his long-stalled cultivation.

He could have broken through earlier, but due to issues with inheritance and foundation, he had delayed it until now.

Now that the time was right, Cihang left the Glazed Grotto-Heaven with a mere thought.

One could not break through to Golden Immortal within a grotto-heaven, as a lightning tribulation would descend during the breakthrough.

Only by surviving the tribulation could one truly enter the Golden Immortal realm.

In truth, there were no lightning tribulations for cultivators in the Great Desolation originally.

But ever since Hongjun merged with the Dao and the order of heaven and earth gradually became complete, it became increasingly harsh for cultivators.

To break through major realms in cultivation, one had to pass the test of a lightning tribulation.

This, however, limited a large number of cultivators with shallow foundations and poor dispositions.

Many cultivators had perished in lightning tribulations because of this, and it had also caused some cultivators to suppress their realms, afraid to rashly undergo tribulation.

However, Cihang was not among them.

His talent, strength, and disposition were all top-tier. As long as it wasn't a targeted attack, the lightning tribulation simply couldn't stop him.

Returning to his spiritual peak, Cihang moved his mind, circulating his magic power to impact his cultivation bottleneck.

"Bang!"

The bottleneck that had trapped countless Mysterious Immortals was broken by Cihang in an instant.

A dense aura of life spread out from Cihang as the center.

Instantly, the mountains were covered in lush greenery, a hundred flowers bloomed, and even the withered spiritual root trees were revitalized.

They all emitted silent joy and reverence.

Due to the obstruction of the formation, this life force did not spread further outward.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Just then, dark clouds gathered in the sky, terrifying lightning flashed, and thunder roared.

The Golden Immortal lightning tribulation had arrived.

Sensing the fear emanating from the surrounding trees, Cihang broke through the formation and faced the tribulation directly.

Upon sensing Cihang's aura, the ordinary tribulation clouds instantly transformed into five-colored lightning of the Five Elements.

"The Great Five Elements Lightning Tribulation?"

Beneath the tribulation, Cihang showed a hint of anticipation.

The lightning tribulation was a test for cultivators, and its power varied depending on karma, merit, and aptitude.

Although Cihang had no karma, he possessed the body of an Innate Deity and a profound foundation, naturally attracting the most powerful Five Elements Divine Lightning of the Golden Immortal realm.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of thunder startled the nearby Witch Race, and a group of them converged towards the location of the tribulation.

"This is a cultivator's advancement tribulation!"

"A cultivator of the Mystic Gate?"

"Why is there a Mystic Gate cultivator among our Witch Race?"

"He's undergoing tribulation in our Witch Race territory?"

"What is he doing? Is he waiting to die, or is he ignoring the tribulation?"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

As the Witch Race discussed, the Five Elements Divine Lightning descended.

Cihang directly met the tribulation, using its power to temper his physical body.

It wasn't difficult for him to pass the tribulation with his cultivation.

But he didn't just want to pass; he wanted to use the tribulation to temper his body.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In just a moment, Cihang was engulfed by the lightning.
