Tribulation of Lich and Demon, Reborn as an Innate Spirit Bamboo, Beginning with Heaven-Defying Comprehension!

Tribulation of Lich and Demon, Reborn as an Innate Spirit Bamboo, Beginning with Heaven-Defying Comprehension!

Primordial World.

Amid the vast expanse of heaven and earth stood a Divine Mountain, soaring into the heavens with the air of looking down upon all other peaks.

There were two mountain peaks to the east and west. Spiritual Qi filled the mountains, making them blessed lands and heavenly grottoes for cultivation.

The mountain range stretched outward, and tens of thousands of miles away stood towering trees that extended for thousands of miles.

In a secluded spot grew a Spirit Bamboo.

Its branches and leaves were not particularly lush, but its bamboo stalk, over a foot thick, stood perfectly straight like a sword piercing the sky, giving off an air of exposed sharpness.

An icy, snow-white divine light flowed across its stalk, while seven-colored hazy radiance emanated from its entire body.

It was a Nine Section Bamboo.

Though the Nine Section Bamboo was not an Innate Spiritual Root, it was far from ordinary.

At that moment, a human voice came from the Nine Section Bamboo.

"Whew, I'm finally about to reach the Celestial Immortal realm!"

There was, in fact, a human soul within the Nine Section Bamboo.

Lin Zhu had originally been an ordinary sunny young man from the twenty-first century. Because he had been reading a Primordial Wilderness novel, he woke from a nap to discover that he had transmigrated.

He had transmigrated into a bamboo.

Through his insights, he had already understood that this world was the Primordial World.

The Primordial World where Golden Immortals were less valuable than dogs, Daluo experts roamed everywhere, opportunities littered the land, and dangers lurked at every turn.

Lin Zhu was not discouraged. Since he was here, he might as well make the best of it, and he quickly accepted his current identity.

At the same time, he learned that this bamboo was no ordinary bamboo, but the Spiritual Root known as the Nine Section Bamboo.

Though it was not an Innate Spiritual Root, it was still an unusual species of the Primordial Wilderness.

Understanding his circumstances, Lin Zhu did not lose heart. He immediately used his bamboo True Body to breathe in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and absorb the essence of the sun and moon, embarking upon the path of cultivation in hopes of Transforming as soon as possible.

This mountain was lofty and winding, with exceptionally dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. It was an excellent place for cultivation.

Lin Zhu guided the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi he absorbed into his True Body, continuously increasing his cultivation while tempering his True Body.

That cultivation lasted a full five hundred years.

After five hundred years, Lin Zhu had finally raised his cultivation from nothing to the peak of the Return to Emptiness realm.

At the same time, he had grasped the crucial key to breaking through into the Celestial Immortal realm.

Once he entered the Celestial Immortal realm, he would be able to Transform through divine sense and inspect the mountain's surroundings, thereby learning where he was.

Lin Zhu continued cultivating!

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered from all around and poured in through every bamboo leaf. At the same time, Lin Zhu's roots sank deep into the Earth Vein, continuously absorbing the spiritual energy within it.

As he cultivated without pause, the mana within Lin Zhu slowly grew.

He cultivated without cease, absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi with unwavering determination.

This was the Primordial World!

If he did not cultivate into a human and become a powerhouse, then this journey would have been wasted.

So what if he was only an unusual Spirit Bamboo?

Lin Zhu would still become a Great Power who was immortal and Unaffected by myriad tribulations, roaming between heaven and earth, witnessing the vastness of the Primordial Wilderness and taking in its countless wonders.

And so, Lin Zhu cultivated for another dozen or so years.

Suddenly, a majestic voice like the sound of the Great Dao rang out by his ear.

You have persevered without discouragement, cultivated diligently, and contemplated earnestly, comprehending the Innate Spirit Wood Cultivation Method!

As the voice sounded, countless pieces of information appeared in Lin Zhu's mind.

It was precisely the Innate Spirit Wood Cultivation Method.

After absorbing this immense amount of information, Lin Zhu was overjoyed.

The Innate Spirit Wood Cultivation Method was a wood-element cultivation method. He was a Spirit Bamboo, with a metal-aligned wood-element True Body.

This cultivation method was exceptionally compatible with him.

Now that he had this cultivation method, his rate of improvement would certainly be many times faster than before.

As for that prompt... it was not actually any kind of system.

It was merely a prompt Lin Zhu had formed in his mind for convenience.

It could be considered his cheat, though it was rather plain and unremarkable.

Simply put, it was comprehension.

Ever since transmigrating, Lin Zhu had discovered that his comprehension was extraordinarily high, to the point of being heaven-defying.

With only a little contemplation of heaven, earth, and nature, he could gain insights. His cultivation was also incredibly fast, and he could often understand things without a teacher and create cultivation methods on his own.

"For now, I should Transform first and see what place this is!"

With that thought, Lin Zhu calmed his mind once more and began cultivating using the Innate Spirit Wood Cultivation Method.

Sure enough, endless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered toward him, pouring into his True Body through every bamboo leaf. His cultivation began to surge wildly.

It advanced dozens of times faster than before.

One year of cultivation was equivalent to several decades of his previous cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, several decades passed.

On this day!

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, converging above Lin Zhu as boundless power of lightning tribulation slowly amassed.

Was he about to break through into the Celestial Immortal realm?

Lin Zhu looked toward the sky, his expression turning solemn.

He naturally sensed that the black tribulation clouds had been drawn forth by him.

To break through into the Celestial Immortal realm and Transform, he had to undergo the cleansing of heavenly tribulation.

The path of cultivation sought to seize the creations of heaven and earth and gather their primordial power. That was why heavenly tribulation descended.

Heavenly tribulation was incomparably powerful.

Since ancient times, countless living beings had failed to overcome heavenly tribulation, suffering Dao Demise and Soul Vanish beneath it and turning into nothingness.

The Nine Section Bamboo's foundation was not poor, but neither was it particularly good.

He did not know whether he could survive the heavenly tribulation.

Seeing the heavenly tribulation gathering in the void, Lin Zhu did not dare be careless. He hurriedly circulated his mana, raising it to its peak.

Streams of radiant light surged over the bamboo leaves, while five-colored light flickered across the bamboo stalk, making it incomparably resilient.

Lin Zhu's mana had been driven to its utmost limit.

He prepared to receive the coming heavenly lightning.

Sure enough, the heavenly lightning had already taken shape in the sky.

Tribulation clouds pressed down upon the void, emitting crackling electrical sounds.

Rumble!

A bolt of lightning tore through the heavens as though ripping open the sky itself.

A lightning bolt as thick as a bowl descended from the void, striking directly upon the Water Fire Spirit Bamboo.

Pain!

Lin Zhu felt a wave of numbness, followed by intense pain rushing through him. He could only endure the agony as he continuously activated his mana to repair his damaged True Body.

Under the heavenly tribulation, the bamboo leaves turned to charcoal, while much of the bamboo stalk cracked apart.

Through Lin Zhu's efforts, stalk after stalk of bamboo was restored. Countless branches and leaves regrew, emitting streams of green light.

Very soon, the damaged Spirit Bamboo was restored once more.

Yet the heavenly tribulation had not ended.

The second divine lightning bolt descended.

The bamboo stalk that had just been repaired was once again blasted into charcoal.

The second tribulation lightning was even more powerful than the first.

The damage Lin Zhu suffered was also far greater.

Though the pain was unbearable.

Lin Zhu still persisted, continuously drawing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from underground to restore his True Body.

His True Body had only just been repaired.

When the third tribulation lightning arrived.

The third lightning tribulation was far more powerful than the second.

As the tribulation lightning fell, all the Spirit Bamboo above ground was reduced to ash, leaving only the bamboo roots beneath the earth intact.

The pain nearly made Lin Zhu lose consciousness.

He could only grit his teeth and persist, using the remaining bamboo roots to continuously absorb the spiritual energy of the underground spiritual veins.

Tender green bamboo shoots emerged from the ground one after another, growing madly at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Before long, the Nine-Segment Spirit Bamboo stood tall once more.

Its leaves swayed in the wind, emitting streams of green light.

At that moment, the tribulation clouds in the sky slowly dispersed as well.

Auspicious Clouds gathered, and a five-colored auspicious radiance descended from the heavens.

It slowly merged into the Spirit Bamboo.

A ray of Hua Guang shot forth from the Spirit Bamboo and transformed into a handsome man wearing a Water Fire Daoist Robe, a Fish Tail Golden Crown upon his head, and eyes bright as stars.
