Three Calamities, Nine Difficulties, Ten Tribulations, Five Declines of Heaven and Man! Thanks to "Shu Le Shu Le" for the 10,000 reward!

"Yes, teacher."

Zhang Yang sat down, looked up at the teacher, his eyes still filled with surprise, his mouth moved slightly as if he had a thousand words to say, but for a moment he didn't know where to begin.

Seeing this, Lu Qingfeng spoke first, "Tell me how you ended up in this situation."

Lu Qingfeng saw it clearly.

Although Zhang Yang's current cultivation level is no weaker than that of Mahayana Dao Inquiry, both his appearance and spiritual aura are somewhat different from what they were back then.

Obviously.

He has experienced at least one cycle of reincarnation in this Lesser Weakwater Realm.

In other words—

I died once!

Although the True Spirit has been preserved and the nature unchanged, the circumstances will likely be quite different. However, the dangers involved will certainly not be few.

"Your disciple is incompetent!"

Zhang Yang looked ashamed.

He gave a general account of his experiences over the years.

Lu Qingfeng then realized this.

Turn out to be.

While searching for Lin Feng's whereabouts, Zhang Yang encountered a cultivator who had once hunted down the Six Wings One. Not wanting to miss this opportunity, Zhang Yang captured the cultivator and forced him to reveal the Six Wings One's location.

The cultivator revealed the location of a secret place, saying that when he was chasing the Golden Silkworm, he personally witnessed the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm disappear into Blackwater Pool in the Northern Cold Immortal Domain.

Thus, Zhang Yang arrived in the Northern Cold Immortal Domain.

He was wary and first inquired about the details of the Blackwater Pool. He couldn't find out anything about the Six Wings creature, but he did learn that the Blackwater Pool was indeed a strange place—

No matter if it's Human Immortal, demon, or monster, once inside, they will all sink to the bottom of the pool and disappear.

It's quite possible that the Six Wings are trapped in the middle.

Zhang Yang noted the location, intending to investigate further after finding Lin Feng. However, he hadn't expected the cultivator he had captured to use a clever escape Law Technique, not only escaping with his life but also attracting the siege of seven or eight top-tier True Immortal.

Zhang Yang was no match for him.

Even harder to get rid of.

Left with no other choice, they had to escape into that 'Blackwater Pool'.

After a series of upheavals and changes in the world, he was cast down to the mortal realm and arrived at the Lesser Weakwater Realm. All his Law Power dissipated, and his physical body and Primordial Spirit returned to their original state.

Fortunately, I still have the knowledge.

Zhang Yang diligently cultivated himself and discovered that although the Lesser Weakwater Realm were different, they ultimately led to the same goal. In just fifty years, he regained his status as True Immortal.

After.

They survived Three Calamities and endured Nine Difficulties.

We also gained a general understanding of the situation in the Lesser Weakwater Realm.

It is just a disaster and a danger.

In this first life, Zhang Yang was only interested in speed and his foundation was weak. During the fourth of the Nine Difficulties, the "Samadhi Difficulty", his physical body and Primordial Spirit were burned away by a True Samadhi Fire, and he only escaped to be reincarnated as a soul.

Fortunately, he obtained a Three-Life Grass in his early years, which freed him from the mystery of his birth.

A second chance at life.

Zhang Yang made steady progress and successfully weathered the Three Calamities Nine Difficulties.

But after the Three Calamities Nine Difficulties, another 'Ten Tribulations' will descend.

Although Zhang Yang was extraordinary, he cultivated the Orthodox Grade "Prison-Warding Five-Thunder Heart Scripture" and mastered the Divine Ability "Minor Thousandfold Thunder Prison," and also possessed two eighth-order Law Artifact bestowed upon him by Lu Qingfeng—

One is the "Purple-Gold Alms Bowl" that traps and captures people, and the other is the "Demon-Subduing Golden Ring," a supreme treasure for attacking and conquering.

But even that couldn't withstand the calamity and danger.

Thunder rumbled in the sky.

During the third of the Ten Tribulations, the Purple-Gold Alms Bowl was shattered to pieces.

By the sixth tribulation, even the Demon-Subduing Golden Ring had turned to dust.

A thousand years later.

He ultimately couldn't survive the seventh tribulation. Under the Tribulation Lightning, Zhang Yang decisively abandoned his physical body and Primordial Spirit, casting a wisp of his soul into reincarnation once again.

This is now his third incarnation since arriving in the Lesser Weakwater Realm.

With the experience from his previous two lives, Zhang Yang's life will be much smoother this time.

He is now Four-Tribulation True Immortal, only a few levels lower than in his previous life. But the only difference is in Law Power; his Divine Ability abilities are no weaker than those of an Eighth or even Ninth-Tribulation True Immortal.

Such cultivation is extremely rare in the entire Lesser Weakwater Realm.

"He has already reincarnated twice."

Lu Qingfeng listened intently, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he heard "Three-Life Grass". "To obtain the Three-Life Grass is indeed a great fortune."

That makes sense.

Zhang Yang has been reincarnated twice, with slight changes in appearance and spiritual aura. However, because he ate a 'Three-Life Grass', he was able to retain memories of three lifetimes and was not affected by the mystery of his birth.

There is not much difference between this life and the previous life.

Her personality and temperament are just like in her previous life.

Similar to Lu Qingfeng's reincarnations over the years.

"I was lucky."

Zhang Yang felt a sense of relief when he heard the name "Three-Life Grass".

If it weren't for that Three-Life Grass, without anyone to guide him, he would most likely have faded into obscurity. Even if he had cultivated into True Immortal, since he was reincarnated without the protection of an elder immortal family, awakening his past life's Past-Life Wisdom would have been extremely difficult.

As for Earth Immortal?

Even three lifetimes might not be possible.

After recounting the events of the past few years, Zhang Yang looked at his teacher, a shadow hanging over his heart—

Zhang Yang was overjoyed to be reunited with his teacher.

But placing it in a place like the Lesser Weakwater Realm makes one feel somewhat heavy-hearted.

Nothing else—

"Too many calamities have befallen us."

Zhang Yang looked at Lu Qingfeng, his expression grave, and said, "Cultivation in this realm is different from that in Maple Moon Star and the Six Southern Florescence Domains. True Immortal in Southern Splendor only need to undergo Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation when they reach the Tribulation Transcendence Realm to smoothly advance to the Earth Immortal Realm. However, in the Lesser Weakwater Realm, True Immortal face 'Three Calamities,' 'Nine Difficulties,' and 'Ten Tribulations,' totaling twenty-two calamities. Each calamity is extremely dangerous, and any one of them is more dangerous than the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation Transcendence Realm."

It's not that every calamity in this Lesser Weakwater Realm is more powerful than the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

However, within the environment of the Lesser Weakwater Realm, the dangers faced by True Immortal within this system are far greater than those faced by those in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm outside.

At least.

Zhang Yang was able to easily overcome the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation while away from home.

But when faced with the "Three Calamities Nine Difficulties," he only felt terrified. In his previous two lives, he failed once at the fourth of the Nine Difficulties and once at the seventh of the Ten Tribulations.

I don't know how far I'll go in this life.

"Indeed dangerous."

Lu Qingfeng's expression turned serious.

He had only been in the Lesser Weakwater Realm for seven months, but in the Whitecloud Mountain, he had gained a considerable understanding of basic levels such as Qi Refining and Primordial Spirit.

But when it comes to the True Immortal level, they are completely clueless.

Listening to Zhang Yang's description, and seeing the difficulties of cultivating True Immortal in this world, as well as the many dangers and tribulations involved, Lu Qingfeng was astonished.

"Three Calamities".

"Nine Difficulties".

"Ten Tribulations".

"Twenty-two tribulations."

After carefully recounting the details, Lu Qingfeng suppressed his astonishment and asked curiously, "After the 'Ten Tribulations,' can one attain the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit?"

Limited by this world, Lu Qingfeng's cultivation level is currently limited.

He couldn't very well use the 'Grand Luo Insight' on his disciple. Judging by his eyesight alone, he could only vaguely sense that Zhang Yang's current cultivation level was no less than that of Mahayana Dao Inquiry.

They were not left behind by Lin Feng or Lin Ye.

As for what level one should reach in the Dao Comprehension Realm, Lu Qingfeng couldn't see it for the time being.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang said in a deep voice, "After passing the 'Three Calamities,' one's cultivation level is already equivalent to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. The True Immortal after the Nine Difficulties of the 'Nine Calamities' can be compared to the Mahayana Dao Inquiry Realm. As for the True Immortal of the 'Ten Tribulations,' they are already at the peak of the Dao Comprehension Realm from the first tribulation onwards."

"True Immortal at the 'Ten Tribulations' stage has reached an inconceivable level, far beyond what ordinary Dao-Entering can achieve."

"Even so--"

As Zhang Yang spoke, he gave a wry smile, "After the 'Ten Tribulations,' it is still difficult to become Earth Immortal. It is said that there is also the tribulation of the 'Five Declines of Heaven and Man and Man.' I have never heard of anyone in the Lesser Weakwater Realm who has been able to overcome the Five Declines of Heaven and Man and Man."

After Ten Tribulations, there are still tribulations to come; this is simply too despairing.

After listening, Lu Qingfeng fell silent.

He wondered to himself: What level of "Five Declines of Heaven and Man" is this?!

"Teacher--"

Zhang Yang looked at Lu Qingfeng with some worry in his heart.

He could see clearly that his teacher knew nothing about the tribulations of True Immortal, and there was no aura of calamity on him, indicating that he had not even experienced the Three Calamities yet.

With so many calamities to come, it's unknown how long the master and disciple will live.

Zhang Yang pondered this and couldn't help but ask, "How did you come to the Lesser Weakwater Realm, teacher?"

The world is vast.

The probability of the master and disciple both ending up in this Lesser Weakwater Realm is extremely low.

Zhang Yang had a guess in his mind, and looked up at the teacher.

Lu Qingfeng was still thinking about the tribulations in the Lesser Weakwater Realm when Zhang Yang asked him, and he immediately calmed down.

They didn't hide it.

He recounted the series of events that led him to find the Six Wings in the Nine Netherworlds, then back to Maple Moon Star, then to the Southern Florescence Realm, and finally to the Lesser Weakwater Realm.

This conversation lasted for most of the day.

Lu Qingfeng and Zhang Yang were talking while a barrier isolated their voices from the outside world.

After all, it's not something to be proud of for Zhang Yang to fall into the Lesser Weakwater Realm, so it's best not to let his disciples and followers hear about it.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Qin Fan waited in the hall, his heart pounding like a cat's claws.

He secretly glanced at the two of them.

All I saw was my master talking to my grandmaster. At times, the master was worried, at other times he was excited, and at other times he jumped up excitedly and clapped his hands in praise.

Qin Fan felt an itch in his heart, but he didn't know who this grandmaster was or what he was talking about with his master.

He muttered to himself, "I've never heard Master mention such a grandmaster before, and I wonder what his background is. Grandmaster is so handsome, spirited, and Spiritual Qi spiritual energy. If he is a master, he should have a well-known reputation in the Southern Borderlands."

I'm thinking about it.

"Ha ha!"

"Not bad, not bad."

Suddenly, loud laughter rang out in the hall.

Qin Fan was startled awake and looked in the direction of Zhang Yang and Lu Qingfeng. Sure enough, he saw that the barrier had been removed.

"Master."

Qin Fan quickly got up, bowed to his master, and then bowed to Lu Qingfeng, addressing him as 'Grandmaster'.

"This disciple is a good choice."

When Lu Qingfeng saw Qin Fan, he nodded to his grand-disciple and then smiled at Zhang Yang.

It doesn't refer to anything else.

Naturally, it was about the incident not long ago when Qin Fan drew his sword at him from the mountaintop outside the palace.

Upon hearing this, Qin Fan immediately bowed and said in a trembling voice, "Grandmaster, please forgive me, this disciple was unaware—"

"Ha ha!"

"It was just a joke. You deserve to be rewarded for defending your master."

Lu Qingfeng didn't care how much of his disciple's fear was feigned; the mere sight of his respectful Zhang Yang and reverence for his teacher pleased him.

He praised her, then took out a black stone and a fold of fine gauze from his sleeve and placed them in front of Qin Fan.

Qin Fan saw the black stone but didn't recognize it.

But seeing that stack of fine gauze, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Having come from the outside world, Zhang Yang had a broader perspective. Upon seeing the two treasures, he immediately said, "Teacher, these two treasures are far too precious."

He knew that his teacher was always generous.

Back when they were on Maple Moon Star, they were still at the Core Formation stage, and their teacher's cultivation level wasn't much higher, yet he still bestowed upon them many seventh and eighth-tier Law Artifact.

They do not hesitate to cherish their Divine Ability and true methods.

But this is, after all, the Lesser Weakwater Realm, where treasures are hard to find. Every treasure brought in from the outside world becomes one less available once it's used.

Many more tribulations lie ahead.

Zhang Yang dared not let Qin Fan accept it.

Thank you so much to the generous donation from the 'Shu Le Shu Le' expert!
