Inside Biyou Palace.
Tongtian was examining the Primordial Creation Spring. This was liquid spiritual energy originating from the Primordial Chaos.
Even if the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots were combined, they still could not compare to a single drop of the Creation Spring's effects!
There was also another treasure: the Pangu True Body. It looked like a golden scroll, and perhaps it contained the method for cultivating the Pangu True Body!
"Collect!"
Tongtian immediately circulated his primordial spirit and opened the scroll. A streak of golden light entered his mind.
Before long, Tongtian's face was filled with excitement.
What an astonishing cultivation art!
If he used all his cultivation to temper it, he might be able to condense the Pangu True Body!
As soon as this true body was unleashed, it could amplify his own strength—at least by an entire realm!
One had to understand that in the Saint realm, even the slightest difference represented the difference between heaven and earth!
From the looks of it, this cultivation art was truly abnormal!
It could raise him by an entire realm!
Having made up his mind, Tongtian could no longer hold back and immediately began cultivating the Pangu True Body.
For a time, waves of golden light radiated from Tongtian's body.
As Tongtian continued cultivating, the spiritual energy within his body constantly flowed into his Violet Palace and gathered there.
As time passed, a true body gradually began to appear inside Tongtian's Violet Palace.
Tongtian's spiritual energy continued gathering into this true body, and more of its form was revealed.
From this true body, waves of ancient and profound aura surged toward him, shaking him to the core!
The true body that had gathered was the Pangu True Body!
At this moment, Tongtian was strenuously channeling spiritual energy, causing the true body's entire form to emerge!
Terrifying spiritual energy roared as it poured into the true body.
Time flew by in the blink of an eye.
At this point, his true body was almost completely revealed, and its details were gradually becoming more and more like Tongtian.
On the true body's chest, a constantly rotating orb of light radiated golden brilliance. Terrifying power continuously circulated within it, channeling spiritual energy into every part of the true body.
Several more years passed.
The true body had almost completely manifested.
Boom!
With a roar, the true body finally manifested in full. At once, the spiritual energy Tongtian had gathered within it began amplifying Tongtian's strength!
Feeling the vast spiritual energy transmitted to him by the true body, Tongtian could not contain his excitement.
Perhaps, with the true body amplifying him with so much spiritual energy, he could take a single step into the fourth realm of the Great Dao Saint stage.
"Break!"
Once an idea arose in Tongtian's mind, he immediately acted. He circulated his cultivation art and mobilized endless spiritual energy, refining it into his body bit by bit!
The clothes on his body were now shaking and roaring, and even Biyou Palace seemed to have been swept up by a tornado.
Time flowed on, and the years passed like a shuttle.
The aura around Tongtian gradually calmed, and Biyou Palace also fell silent.
Boom!
At that moment, Tongtian's aura suddenly took a great step forward, becoming even more profound and heavy. Saintly might filled all of Biyou Palace!
The fourth realm of the Great Dao Saint stage!
At this moment, the saintly might erupting from Tongtian seemed to carry waves of ancient and powerful aura!
Judging by his aura alone, Tongtian could now already rival Hongjun!
After breaking through, Tongtian shifted his gaze back to the seven drops of Creation Spring.
"Whether I can break through to the fifth realm depends on you."
Tongtian's eyes were blazing with fervor!
If he could rely on the Creation Spring to break through to the fifth realm this time, then he would possess the strength to fight Taishang, the strongest among the disciples of the Mystic Gate, one-on-one!
The fifth realm of the Great Dao Saint stage was already the strongest existence below Hongjun, who had merged with the Dao!
Tongtian sat cross-legged on his meditation cushion. At this moment, the seven drops of Creation Spring had transformed into an ocean of spiritual energy, stirring wave after wave within Tongtian's Violet Palace.
Tongtian had pushed the Primordial Nine Revolutions Heavenly Merit to its limit and continuously refined the spiritual energy.
The rest was up to time.
Once the Creation Spring had been completely refined, it would be the day of his breakthrough!
Several more years passed. By this point, the sea of spiritual energy formed from the Creation Spring had been completely refined by Tongtian.
Boom!
He domineeringly stepped over the threshold of the fourth realm of the Great Dao Saint stage, taking a great stride forward!
After crossing the threshold, Tongtian's aura surged violently once more. Only after quite some time did it stop. He had already reached the fifth realm of the Great Dao Saint stage!
At this moment, he discovered that the restrictions around the palace were almost unable to withstand his pressure.
After noticing this, Tongtian hurriedly withdrew his pressure into his body.
Fortunately, Tongtian had noticed in time and retracted his pressure. Otherwise, once his saintly might erupted and reached Golden Ao Island outside, it would have caused a serious disaster.
After Tongtian withdrew his saintly might, he looked completely like an ordinary person!
This was something even Taishang, who was engaged in secluded cultivation, could not match!
"Hahaha, the fifth realm of the Great Dao Saint stage!"
"My own strength can finally be considered to have some capital!"
Tongtian laughed and muttered to himself. He no longer had anything to fear from this great tribulation.
If any other Saints still dared to join forces and pressure him, how could he let them return so easily without breaking one of their legs?
If the other Saints dared to look down on him because he appeared no different from an ordinary person, they would see whether he could shock their jaws loose!
Once his aura was released, it would surely be like a wild horse breaking free of its reins. Even Golden Ao Island's Mountain Protection Formation would be unable to withstand it!
"The great tribulation is about to arrive, isn't it?"
Having said that, Tongtian raised his gaze toward the sky.
At that moment, inside Zixiao Palace.
Hongjun's burly figure sat on a meditation cushion, and he was concentrating on pacifying a portion of the Heavenly Dao's will!
The will that had yet to be pacified was precisely the part closely connected to the Earthly Dao.
"At this time, the Earthly Dao suddenly broke free from the Heavenly Dao's control!"
"Perhaps this is also a gift before the arrival of the great tribulation?!"
At this thought, Hongjun's face was filled with worry. This great tribulation might be different from the others!
He had originally thought that the great tribulation would affect at most the Three Great Sects, but now the Saints had already fought several times!
From this, it was clear that this great tribulation had truly become too mysterious!
The more mysterious it was, the more situations it would bring about. This feeling was not good at all!
Although he could control part of the Heavenly Dao now, that still was not enough.
He simply could not interfere with the great tribulation!
