Tribulation Transcendence

Amitabha Buddha!

The scene ended there, and Master Zhenjue chanted a Buddhist prayer. His previously rosy face was now completely pale.

"This is the 'Divination Origin Pill,' which can compensate for the energy consumed by the master when activating the Two-World Diagram to calculate the past and future." Xun Tiange quickly offered a spiritual pill.

Master Zhenjue took it.

After a while, her face regained a rosy hue, and she opened her eyes.

Xun Tiange frowned slightly and looked at Master Zhenjue, "Just now—"

"The Azurewood King Cauldron and the man in the Yellow-Robed Monster were both shrouded in mystery. If they were not favored by the heavens and earth and protected by the heavens and earth, they would be protected by True Immortal or even earth ancestors and arhats. Otherwise, even an eighth-order Law Artifact or Transcendent Grade technique would be difficult to detect by the Two-World Diagram."

Master Zhenjue's gaze remained calm and unwavering.

Xun Tiange nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I understand the importance of this matter. However, the Azurewood King Cauldron is the most precious treasure of Azurewood Valley and cannot be lost. As for True Immortal and Earth Ancestors, Azurewood Valley also has ancestral masters from the Upper Realm."

"Cultivate good relationships, reap good results."

Master Zhenjue said no more. He did not see the Two-World Diagram, but his Dharma eyes looked toward the northwest.

Xun Tiange frowned, recalling the blood-red light, and hesitated, "That blood-red light seemed familiar. I wonder if it's related to the Blood Demon Lineage that was wiped out ten thousand years ago?"

Using Two-World Diagram, they hadn't anticipated the whereabouts of the Yellow-Robed Old Monster and the Azurewood King Cauldron; the blood-red light, however, was an unexpected find.

"This humble monk once subdued the remnants of the Blood Demon together with the senior monks of the temple, and I have seen the Blood Demon Great Art. This wisp of blood light should undoubtedly be from the Blood Demon Lineage." Master Zhenjue nodded and said, "The Two-World Diagram have depleted our vital energy and will be difficult to use again within a hundred years. I will have to trouble Benefactor Tiange with the task of dealing with these remnants of the Blood Demon."

"It is only right that the Blood Demon wreaks havoc on the world."

Xun Tiange responded.

Without lingering, he got up, said goodbye, and left.

As soon as Xun Tiange stepped out of Six Dust Temple, his face darkened. "Protected by True Immortal from the upper realm? Among the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, those who can contact the patriarch of the upper realm are none other than the Three Mountains, the Seven Gorges, and the Four Overseas Sects. I will inform the patriarch and see who dares to steal my Xun Household's treasure!"

This time, they sought help from the Six Dust Temple, asking Master Zhenjue for assistance, and paid a hefty sum of seven seventh-grade spirit pills. Even Xun Tiange couldn't help but feel heartbroken. In the end, not only did they fail to obtain even a trace of the Azurewood King Cauldron, but they also caused a great deal of trouble, which was truly frustrating.

"Blood Demon".

"Hmph!"

Xun Tiange snorted coldly and disappeared into the void.

Profound Origin Water Realm.

Flying Cloud Island.

Located on the north side of Flying Cloud Peak, the island was cleared of all the cultivators. Deacons Wang Hui and Zhao Yunxing, along with Alchemist Liu Feng, Xie Yingyuan, Ye Mu, and others, gathered together, looking north.

A sudden gust of wind arose, and dark clouds gathered in an instant.

A sense of oppression descended upon the world.

"They're here."

Liu Feng looked at the layers of dark clouds and his expression changed.

Dark clouds gathered in nine places, covering the northern part of Flying Cloud Island and much of the surrounding waters. Beneath the clouds, only nine inconspicuous Skylark Bird flitted about, seemingly somewhat nervous.

Wang Hui's gaze was fixed on the Skylark Bird, his expression complex. "What incredible luck. Originally a mortal bird, its lifespan was only a little over ten years. After encountering the Venerable Master, it not only lived for several decades, but is now about to step into the Foundation Establishment Realm. I wonder how many mortals struggling in their Postnatal will envy it."

"The Master cherishes the past. These nine Skylark Bird have followed the Master since they were young, and it is said that they helped the Master and his two siblings through many dangers. Even after the Master entered the Dao of cultivation, he never abandoned them, but kept them by his side and fed them with precious elixirs such as Spirit-Nourishing Pill, which is why they have achieved what they have today."

Ye Mu had inquired about it and was quite clear about it.

"Yes."

"The Lord is indeed a sentimental person."

Wang Hui nodded, deeply moved.

He was originally the manager of Cloudrise Mountain Gathering Immortals Market. He had helped Lu Qingfeng rent a shop and had also taken good care of Lu Qingyu when Lu Qingfeng entered Profound Yin Cavern, thus forging a good relationship. After Lu Qingfeng became True Disciple of the Pill Convergence Hall and the island master of Flying Cloud Island, he immediately transferred him to Flying Cloud Island to serve as a manager, treating him with great respect.

After that.

Lu Qingfeng's status rose rapidly, from True Disciple a junior master of the Pill Convergence Hall, and then from junior master to head master.

As a trusted confidant, Wang Hui's status rose steadily, and he benefited greatly. However, compared to these nine Skylark Bird, it was merely a casual promotion, insignificant in comparison. Lu Qingfeng consumed a large amount of spiritual spirit medicine, and spent countless hours feeding the Skylark Bird.

Ultimately, he was elevated from an ordinary bird to his current level of Foundation Establishment and Tribulation Transcendence Transcending.

If these resources were used on even slightly qualified Postnatal cultivators, they could probably create dozens or even hundreds of Foundation Establishment. It's truly a huge investment.

On the island and even in the Pill Convergence Hall, many people knew about the nine Skylark Bird and Lu Qingfeng's handiwork. They secretly discussed that this True Disciple, young master, and head master truly deserved to be called the eldest brother of the 'Mystic Origin Sect's number one spendthrift.'

The brother and sister are both notoriously spendthrifts!

It was heartbreaking to see.

Wang Hui and the others dared not object and simply chatted casually.

A fierce wind swept through the distance, and ominous clouds gathered.

The Foundation Establishment Tribulation Lightning is about to begin.

"Chirp chirp!"

"Chirp chirp!"

Nine Skylark Bird danced up and down, their True Essence flowing around them as they resisted the tribulation lightning. These nine little fellows followed Lu Qingfeng, cultivating the Unorthodox Grade "Nine-Colored Phoenix Art," and often received "Enlightenment" and elixirs from Lu Qingfeng, making rapid progress and building a solid foundation.

The minor Foundation Establishment Tribulation Lightning is no match for them.

Not to mention his abundant True Essence, the several Technique Method he mastered were also quite impressive, and he possessed various Law Artifact bestowed upon him by Lu Qingfeng. If he couldn't even withstand the Foundation Establishment Tribulation Lightning, then probably 99% of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the world could.

Click!

Rumble!

Thunder roared and the wind howled.

About half an hour later.

The thunder subsided, the calamity clouds dissipated, and the gale abruptly ceased.

"Ha!"

"It's done."

"Haha! I can finally transform into human form."

As the Tribulation Lightning dissipated, nine Skylark Bird were seen soaring through the air on the north side of Flying Cloud Island. They turned in the air, and their True Essence surged, instantly transforming into five handsome young men and four beautiful young women.

They looked each other up and down, and then each looked at themselves, their faces beaming with joy.

"Congratulations to the nine fellow Daoists on Tribulation Transcendence and taking human form."

Upon seeing this, Wang Hui and the others quickly stepped forward to offer their congratulations.

Compared to these nine, probably no one present dared to say they were closer to Lu Qingfeng. Before they had taken human form, the nine Skylark Bird played and frolicked on Flying Cloud Island, and no one dared to neglect them in the slightest.

Now that he Tribulation Transcendence and transformed into human form, his lifespan has greatly increased, so he dares not let him cause any trouble. Otherwise, if he were to whisper a few words in the ear of the sect leader of Flying Cloud Peak and file a complaint, he would probably be in big trouble.

"Okay, okay."

"Hello to you all as well."

"We can't talk to you any longer, we still need to see the master."

Nine boys and girls responded in a flurry of voices, then leaped into the air and transformed once more into the bodies of Skylark Bird.

They sped towards Flying Cloud Peak.

"The Sect Master is in seclusion year-round, so only they can visit him at any time."

"We rely on each other during times of hardship and cold, but our relationship is quite different."

Wang Hui, Ye Mu, and others looked on with envy.

Lu Qingfeng often went into seclusion, and it was common for him to not appear for several years at a time. Inside and outside Flying Cloud Island, apart from Lu Qingyu and Lu Qingshan, only these nine Skylark Bird were allowed to freely enter the cave abode to see Lu Qingfeng.

Others can only envy this.

"Qingfeng (Mingyue, Baishan, Blackwater, Rosy Dawn, Rainbow Cloud, Little Seven, Little Eight, Little Nine) pays respects to Master."

Flying Cloud Peak cave abode.

Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged, and nine Skylark Bird flew in together. They transformed into human form and knelt on the ground, chirping excitedly, filled with gratitude and admiration for Lu Qingfeng.

"Okay, okay."

"Finally, I've Foundation Establishment."

Lu Qingfeng was overjoyed to see the nine Skylark Bird form.

The path of spiritual practice is the loneliest.

These nine Skylark Bird had followed the three siblings since the forests of Shangyang Country, accompanying them through their most difficult time and bringing them much joy. Even after leaving Shangyang Country, Lu Qingfeng always kept them with him.

From time to time, feed them with elixirs such as Spirit-Nourishing Pill to strengthen their foundation and awaken their spiritual nature.

With a deep foundation, it was already comparable to a second-tier Demon Beast.

Unfortunately, it is, after all, just an ordinary bird, limited by its natural talent, and its spirituality is always slightly lacking. Unless something unexpected happens, it will be hopeless to attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment by using a large number of spiritual pills and disregarding its foundation, relying solely on itself.

Fortunately, Lu Qingfeng advanced to the Third Layer the "Yellow Court Scripture" and mastered the "Enlightenment" technique.

After several Enlightenment, he finally understood the True Intention of the Cultivation Method. Through independent practice and with the help of elixirs, he finally broke through the shackles, established his foundation, Foundation Establishment form, thus gaining hope for Changsheng.

"Foundation Establishment and Transformation is only the beginning of cultivation. There will be countless dangers ahead, so you must cultivate diligently." Lu Qingfeng said with a happy expression, then earnestly advised.

For him.

These nine little ones are much closer to me than the disciples on Flying Cloud Island, second only to Qingshan and Qingyu, so I have to worry about them more.

"I know, I know, Little Nine will definitely cultivate diligently."

"Don't worry, sir, Qingfeng will keep an eye on them."

"By the way, the Second Master and the Third Master don't know that we've transformed into human form yet. They'll be quite surprised when they return."

The nine little creatures had just taken human form, and they were excited and curious, chattering away nonstop.

With a childlike heart and a close relationship with Lu Qingfeng, he was completely free from the restraint and fear of other cultivators on Flying Cloud Island.

Lu Qingfeng was exasperated and waved his hand, saying, "You've just Tribulation Transcendence, so your foundation is unstable. Go back quickly to stabilize your cultivation and stop making a fuss here."

"Yes, sir."

"We'll take our leave now."

Another round of noise ensued, with each of them bowing to Lu Qingfeng, imitating human cultivators. Lu Qingfeng found it amusing, and with a wave of his sleeve, a Qingfeng arose, carrying the nine people as if the world had turned upside down, and they were out of the cave abode.

"Hey-hey."

"Master, that's quite a skill. I'll have to learn it sometime."

"The eldest brother is called 'Qingfeng', but he doesn't know how to ride the wind yet. He needs to learn quickly."

The nine siblings didn't care.

Landing outside the cave abode, they shook their dizzy heads and looked around at everything that was new and exciting. They had no intention of returning to the cave abode and instead dashed off like a gust of wind to all corners of Flying Cloud Island.

"Silly bird!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

With these nine guys causing trouble, Flying Cloud Island is likely to be in turmoil these days. But it's all for the best; they've added some life to Flying Cloud Island.

"When Qingshan and Qingyu return, it will be even more lively."

As Lu Qingfeng listened to the voices of Qingfeng, Mingyue, and the other nine siblings fading into the distance, he thought to himself.

Qingyu is still deep in the mountains to the south, but she will be back in about a month.

But Qingshan had already set off two months ago, heading north to gain experience and knowledge.

The three siblings want to reunite, but who knows when that will be?

"Good thing."

Lu Qingfeng smiled and waved his sleeve.

Boom!

The outer formation of the cave abode closed again, sealing off both the inside and outside and preventing visitors from entering.
