Mystic Immortal

Boom~!

Thunder roared, dark clouds blotting out the sky.

Li Xuan propped his cheek on one hand, tilting his head as he stared at the sky, utterly baffled.

He just couldn't figure it out...

He had merely broken through from Mystic Immortal to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

Why had a tribulation descended?

Gazing at the massive tribulation cloud spanning over a hundred thousand li, Li Xuan was truly at a loss for words.

"Even if you're targeting me, you don't have to go this far, do you?"

Li Xuan muttered to himself, then let out a sigh.

Having cultivated for another full three thousand eight hundred years, Today, Li Xuan had finally comprehended the Dao of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

He was about to step from Mystic Immortal into Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!

For ordinary Primordial Beings, breaking through from Mystic Immortal to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal incurred no tribulation.

Only when a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal broke through to Golden Immortal would the Three-Nine Tribulation be triggered.

A Primordial Unity Golden Immortal breaking through to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal would summon the Six-Nine Tribulation.

And a Golden Immortal of the Origin breaking through to Quasi-Saint would call down the Nine-Nine Tribulation.

But for Li Xuan, this set of rules seemed not to apply...

Breaking through from Mystic Immortal to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, and yet the Three-Nine Tribulation had arrived?

And that tribulation cloud, a full hundred thousand li in radius, looked far fiercer than any ordinary Three-Nine Tribulation!

This was already on par with the Six-Nine Tribulation!

Naturally, such terrifying tribulation sent every living being within Mount Taixuan into sheer panic.

They didn't even have time to say a word to Li Xuan.

Like frightened dogs, they fled Mount Taixuan in a mad scramble, escaping the tribulation cloud's range.

This was a horror akin to the end of the world!

As for Li Xuan...

He sat cross-legged on the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus Platform, suddenly lifting his head to sneer at the tribulation cloud: "What's the matter? Trying to get revenge? Come on, I'll stick my head out for you—can you even hit it?"

With that, he actually stretched his neck forward, like some old turtle that had gained sentience.

"Boom!!"

As if deeply insulted and provoked, the hundred-thousand-li tribulation cloud erupted into a frenzy!

Infinite lightning converged in an instant, coalescing into a thousand-zhang-long thunder dragon that roared as it descended.

Li Xuan remained seated on the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus Platform, his posture unchanged, looking utterly composed.

But if one looked closely, his rear end had clearly tightened in that instant...

Lightning bolts shot out, visible for a thousand li, and the deafening roar shook the entire Mount Taixuan.

"Hahaha!"

Yet amid the thunderous uproar, a triumphant laugh rang out, dripping with smugness.

The Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus Platform stood unmoved, still radiating a faint, hazy glow.

The glow formed a protective barrier, shielding Li Xuan within without a scratch, completely untouched by the tribulation's assault.

Truly worthy of being the number one defensive supreme treasure of the world.

Even if this Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus Platform were split apart into three twelve-grade lotus platforms, Each would still be an extremely powerful defensive supreme treasure, let alone now, when it had yet to divide.

This was an existence rivaling a Primordial Supreme Treasure.

Even the innate defensive supreme treasures, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda or the Eastern Emperor Bell, Could at best match its fame in defense, never surpass it!

Thus, this mere Three-Nine Tribulation, even if it was no weaker than an ordinary Six-Nine Tribulation, how could it possibly harm Li Xuan?

Li Xuan slapped his thigh and roared with laughter, his face full of arrogance. He raised a finger and pointed at the tribulation cloud, shouting: "Over twenty-three thousand years! You idiot! Haven't you learned your lesson?! I told you, you can't touch me!"

"Rumble..."

The tribulation cloud seemed to shrink back in shame at Li Xuan's scolding. Its thunderous sounds withdrew, and the entire cloud contracted by about ten thousand li.

Seeing this, Li Xuan smiled and said: "Good, you know shame. Just disperse, I won't blame you—after all, you're still young... uh..."

But instead of dispersing, the tribulation cloud began to condense a patch of purple at its center.

Turning from cyan to purple!

"Holy shit..."

Li Xuan stared at that purple mass and cursed under his breath, "Purple lightning? You really think I'm crossing the Six-Nine Tribulation... hitting me with Purple Firmament Divine Thunder like this..."

"Boom!!"

As if the remaining bolts of thunder had all fused into one, this purple bolt was only as thick as a child's arm.

Yet the moment it appeared, it pressed down on the void, causing it to tremble unceasingly, even revealing hair-thin black cracks!

Purple Firmament Divine Thunder!!

Li Xuan saw the purple light flash in the sky, and the next instant, the thunder was right in front of his face!

This scared Li Xuan so badly his scalp went numb, and a fine layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body!

But...

The Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus was exactly what it was.

A soft sound.

Purple flickered, then vanished.

The thin barrier remained utterly unmoved.

No matter what level of thunder, the effect when it struck was the same...

"Hehehehehehe..."

A screech like a night owl echoed across Mount Taixuan.

Li Xuan stroked a petal of the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus Platform, his face full of arrogance.

Then he looked up at the tribulation clouds above, raised both fists, shook his left hand, and slowly extended his middle finger...

The tribulation clouds eventually dispersed.

All that energy had condensed into a single Purple Firmament Divine Thunder that would leave even a peak Primordial Unity Golden Immortal with only a one-in-ten chance of survival.

Yet it still couldn't do a thing to Li Xuan. What else could the tribulation clouds do?

The sun shone bright again, and the world-crushing pressure and terror completely faded.

Most of the creatures that had fled came slinking back.

But a small portion, after leaving, realized that the spiritual energy outside was noticeably richer than inside Mount Taixuan.

They understood then that Mount Taixuan was a barren place, so they simply didn't return.

Li Xuan didn't care about any of this.

He was just fulfilling his own choice.

And since those creatures had run off on their own, not because he drove them out, it didn't violate the choice at all.

Besides, these creatures were all of mediocre talent.

Over tens of thousands of years, only Little Blue, Little Purple, and Bright Rabbit had managed to take form.

The rest couldn't transform no matter how hard they cultivated, and would eventually die of old age.

So it was better for them to go out and take their chances. If they found some immortal herb or spirit fruit and ate it, that would be their chance at transformation.

After all, staying holed up in Mount Taixuan gave them nothing but safety—not a single opportunity.

So their departure neither saddened nor pleased Li Xuan. He just took it as an ordinary matter.

"Mystic Immortal!"

At the mountain peak, the tribulation clouds dispersed, and the laws entered his body. Li Xuan had finally stepped into the realm of Mystic Immortal!

Just having the word "Primordial" attached made it a completely different matter.

Primordial was a term for number, or simply put, fortune.

So it could also be called Fortune Mystic Immortal.

With fortune backing him, though he was still at the Mystic Immortal rank, the power he could unleash with every move was tens, even hundreds of times greater than that of a Mystic Immortal who hadn't advanced to Primordial!

And in the end, when fortune reached its peak, that was the Saint rank!

With a single gesture, the Primordial Wilderness shattered.

This was a qualitative change!

Thus, every qualitative change stirred the resonance of heaven and earth's fortune, and tribulation descended.

But for other creatures, even when a Mystic Immortal advanced to Primordial Mystic Immortal, the fortune they gained was so meager that it never triggered a tribulation.

Only Li Xuan was the exception...

Li Xuan murmured to himself, then formed a hand seal.

Rumble!

A bolt of lightning appeared in an instant, striking straight down into the valley.

This lightning was as thick as a water vat, practically comparable to the Shaping Tribulation from back then!

Within the valley, a hundred-meter stretch of scorched earth instantly appeared.

This was merely the most ordinary.

Lightning Summoning Technique.
