The Eighth Chapter: Final Transformation

Chapter 8: Final Transformation

Among the billions of seekers, only three thousand ultimately gained entry to Purple Cloud Palace.

And among these Three Thousand Guests of Purple Cloud, only six were taken as disciples by Hongjun.

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti.

The rest could not even be considered nominal disciples.

Hongjun preached for three thousand years.

In the Northern Great Desolation, Shen Gui also took his first step.

On this day, atop a high mountain in the Northern Great Desolation, layers of thunderclouds gathered at the peak.

Floating in mid-air above the summit was a small turtle, colored in mysterious yellow.

Transformation Thunder Tribulation.

Across the Great Desolation, the vast majority of living beings experienced this Transformation Thunder Tribulation when taking human form. The stronger one's origin and aptitude, the more powerful the thunder tribulation, and the stronger one would be after transforming...

What nonsense.

Setting aside everything else, go ask the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Di Jun, or Tai Yi if they experienced a Transformation Thunder Tribulation.

For those truly possessing great merit or great Destiny, just try striking them.

The saying that a stronger thunder tribulation implies stronger origin and aptitude, and thus greater power after transformation, was merely a self-comforting fabrication concocted by those who lacked both merit and Destiny.

Thus, after the thunderclouds gathered in the sky for half a day, they didn't even let out a fart before dissipating...

As the thunderclouds scattered, a flash of light swept by. The turtle vanished from mid-air, replaced by a Black-robed Youth.

The youth looked at the dissipating clouds in the sky, feeling somewhat speechless.

You spent half a day gathering, only to disperse without striking a single blow—isn't that just looking for trouble?

Besides, if you weren't going to strike, wouldn't it have been better not to form a tribulation cloud at all?

PS: Heavenly Tribulation: Do I have no dignity? Even if you possess great Destiny and great merit, and even if you have the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Pagoda protecting you, if I can't strike you, can't I at least scare you???

Needless to say, this Black-robed Youth appearing on the mountain peak in the Northern Great Desolation was Shen Gui.

It was true that a Mystic Tortoise's original form was difficult to transform, but Shen Gui had the luxury of being wealthy—he had the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Pagoda!

Although it was difficult to merge the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Pagoda directly into his own body, borrowing a bit of Mysterious Yellow Qi to facilitate his transformation was not a problem.

Moreover, by transforming with Mysterious Yellow Qi, although his cultivation base was slightly lower than his Mystic Tortoise form, he had absolutely no need to worry about his aptitude; it was truly one of a kind in heaven and earth.

Stretching lazily, Shen Gui felt that it was truly good to be back in human form.

In the Great Desolation, who knows how many years passed in the blink of an eye.

It seemed that the wounds inflicted upon the Great Desolation by the Great Tribulation of Dragon-Han had been gradually smoothed over by time. Since Hongjun's preaching, the entire Great Desolation had gradually become lively once more.

One great supernatural being after another began to walk the Great Desolation, some founding sects to pass down teachings, others building cities and nations to dominate a region; still others chose to roam the Great Desolation, living free and unfettered.

Among these people, those with the greatest influence were essentially all among the guests of Purple Cloud Palace.

For instance, the brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi, born of the sun, joined forces to subdue the various tribes of the Great Desolation and establish a Demon Country, exerting pressure over the region.

East King Gong used the overseas immortal islands as his base and joined forces with West Queen Mother to establish the Immortal Court.

Fuxi and Nuwa established the Heavenly Demon City at the foot of Mount Buzhou, providing shelter to the region.

The Three Pure Ones preached in Kunlun Mountain; although they did not take disciples, over time, it also formed a pure land.

Jieyin and Zhunti recruited disciples widely at Western Spirit Mountain, intending to revitalize the West.

Kunpeng founded the Palace of the Demon Master in the North Nether, styling himself as the Demon Master and setting his sights on educating all the demons of the world.

All sorts of things like this, each different in their own way.

The influence of Hongjun's preaching had begun to emerge.

However, none of this had anything to do with Shen Gui—at least, not for now.
