Daoist Horizon Passes On His Power

Originally, Horizon chose to stay in Yu Jiaojiao's villa, not wanting to interfere with Shuhang's 'Heavenly Tribulation' —not because he didn't want to help Song Shuhang, but because he himself was on the verge of Tribulation Transcendence.

Making a rash move might inadvertently attract his Tribulation Lightning. If both tribulations strike simultaneously, Shuhang and he would be doomed.

Therefore, the Daoist priest stayed in Jiao Jiao's villa, trying his best to conceal his presence. He also observed Shu Hang's tribulation from afar and constantly sensed Shu Hang's life force.

They survived wave after wave of Heavenly Tribulation, eventually passing through ten Heavenly Tribulation.

[This kid actually encountered a once-in-a-century ten-wave Heavenly Tribulation, but thankfully he managed to survive it.] At that time, Daoist Horizon also silently breathed a sigh of relief.

But at that moment, the Tribulation Cloud in the sky remained condensed and did not disperse—after the ten waves of Heavenly Tribulation, there was actually an eleventh wave.

How can there be eleven waves of Heavenly Tribulation?

Moreover, the eleven waves of Heavenly Tribulation were so powerful that they would be a death sentence for Second-Grade Cultivator —especially since Fellow Song Shuhang was completely unprepared. These eleven waves of Heavenly Tribulation would definitely take his life.

Daoist Horizon frowned immediately.

Then, he mentally estimated that this Heavenly Tribulation was the last wave... If he were to act cautiously, he could disperse the Tribulation Cloud in one go! As long as he was fast enough, it wouldn't affect his condition.

Let's consider this a way of creating a positive connection.

So, Daoist Horizon Tianya flew swiftly on his sword towards Shuhang's place of Tribulation Transcendence —in fact, the relationship between Shuhang and him had not yet reached the point where he would risk his life to save the other.

The two had just met two days ago and made a transaction.

However, because of his connection to 'Fairy Bie Xue'... and the fact that he had spent three days eating and drinking at Yu Jiaojiao's villa, he had a good impression of the two juniors Shuhang and Yu Jiaojiao.

Therefore, within his capabilities, he chose to lend a helping hand.

As Daoist Horizon flew, he kept a close eye on the changes in the Heavenly Tribulation. The Heavenly Tribulation seemed to be drawn by some force, and suddenly became much weaker, but young friend Song Shuhang's life force was also getting weaker and weaker.

Upon arriving at the scene, Daoist Horizon shouted to comfort Shuhang, "Young friend Shuhang, don't panic! This Old Daoist is here to lend you a hand!"

Song Shuhang under the Heavenly Tribulation: 0_0

Fortunately, Yu Jiaojiao was there.

Before Daoist Horizon could make a move, Yu Jiaojiao stepped forward and loudly reminded him, "Daoist, please show mercy!"

Daoist Horizon puzzled.

"Daoist Master, Shuhang's Heavenly Tribulation is almost over, there's no need to be nervous," Yu Jiaojiao hurriedly explained.

Song Shuhang had already barely survived eleven Heavenly Tribulation, and now only 'Heavenly Thunder Tempering' remained to complete the Heavenly Tribulation. If Song Shuhang's Heavenly Tribulation were to be disrupted at this point, Shuhang would truly be devastated and cry in the toilet.

Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering - When ordinary cultivators are breaking through to the Third-Grade Realm, after completing their Tribulation Transcendence, they can undergo 'Heavenly Thunder Tempering' to raise their physique to the Third-Grade Realm and step into the 'Battle King Body'.

Song Shuhang had already completed the 'Battle King Body' during his Tribulation Transcendence, so the Heavenly Thunder Tempering only improved his physique.

However, the Heavenly Thunder Tempering is also part of the Heavenly Tribulation. If it is broken, the next Heavenly Tribulation will have to start all over again!

Who knows if the next Heavenly Tribulation will be another eleven waves?

If it's still wave 11, Shuhang has no confidence he can easily get through another wave—even though he's already at the Third-Grade Realm. But as his strength increases, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation will also increase!

Upon hearing Yu Jiaojiao's cry, Daoist Horizon finally stopped and retreated to Yu Jiaojiao's side.

He looked at Shuhang's current state—he had actually condensed the Battle King Body, and the true energy within his body had transformed into a 'True Qi River'!

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young," Daoist Horizon.

Yu Jiaojiao Daoist Horizon in agreement and explained the dangers of this tribulation to Tribulation Transcendence.

Daoist Horizon listened intently, constantly expressing his admiration.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

Wait, wait a minute.

Did he miss something? When he met Song Shuhang three days ago, Shuhang was only at the Fourth Dantian of the Second-Grade rank, right?

Why did I suddenly have to Tribulation Transcendence?

Who passed on their skills to young friend Song Shuhang?

How could this be... He clearly agreed to pass on his skills to young friend Shuhang first, so why was he dethroned instead?

******************************

Rumble~~

The last purple-gold ' Heavenly Thunder Tempering finally descended from the sky.

"Ahhhhh." Song Shuhang's whole body went numb from the blow, but strangely, a pleasant sensation surged up from deep within his body, and his physique was slowly improving amidst this sensation.

Song Shuhang was terrified... As he was being struck by lightning, he actually felt a strange pleasure and couldn't stop.

Is there something wrong with my body?

The purple-gold Heavenly Thunder lasted for ten breaths before dissipating.

Song Shuhang immediately raised his head and looked at the Tribulation Cloud in the sky.

The Tribulation Cloud vanished instantly! His Second-Grade Heavenly Tribulation was finally over!

Song Shuhang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a success." This time, he didn't laugh. What if he laughed again and a twelfth bolt of Tribulation Lightning appeared in the sky?

Then, he began to monitor the changes in his body.

First comes the True Qi. After formally evolving to the Third-Grade, the Dantian in the body forms a circuit, transforming into the True Qi River. The True Qi circulates endlessly and continuously. Subsequently, the 'True Qi' in the body begins to transform into 'True Liquid'.

Ten parts of true qi can be condensed into one part of True Liquid. The volume shrinks, but the energy contained within remains the same, and the quality even increases!

Once the body's true energy is condensed into 'True Liquid', the energy that can be stored in the same Dantian size will increase more than tenfold.

Furthermore, after reaching the Third-Grade, each Dantian doubled in size. In terms of true qi quantity alone, Third-Grade Cultivator's true qi quantity is more than twenty times that of Second-Grade cultivator! Moreover, Shuhang had previously undergone Venerable White's 'Qi Storage and Essence Expansion Method,' making his Dantian even larger than that of an ordinary Third-Grade Cultivator. As long as he continues to maintain this, the depth of his true qi will be much more profound than that of ordinary cultivators at the same level.

Next is physique. 'Heavenly Thunder Tempering' enhances a cultivator's physique, instantly strengthening Second-Grade physique cultivator to the level of Third-Grade. The more waves of Heavenly Thunder there are, the better the effect of 'Heavenly Thunder Tempering'.

Before Song Shuhang completed his Tribulation Transcendence, his physique had already reached the level of Third-Grade Battle King. After these eleven waves of great Heavenly Tribulation, his physique suddenly surged, nearly doubling.

He discovered that when he circulated his true energy to its fullest extent, his body would emit specks of 'starlight'.

Shuhang was unaware that this 'starlight' was a phenomenon that could occur in the body of an ordinary Third-Grade Cultivator after opening the 'Starlight Meridian'.

However, Song Shuhang's four extraordinary meridians are not yet open. He is only at the level of a 'Third-Grade Third-Grade Realm - Star Radiance cultivator' because his physique is too large.

Song Shuhang now feels his physique has become much stronger. With this improved physical condition, the mental and physical pain should be somewhat relieved, right?

As he was pondering, Shuhang felt a jolt of mental energy, followed by a sharp pain, as if a small hammer had struck his head.

After successfully Tribulation Transcendence, his physique, true qi, and spiritual power were all enhanced. His physique improved, but his spiritual power also increased. Now, the spiritual power between his eyebrows has become more silvery.

Song Shuhang was relieved, though his heart still ached—but the pain was much less than when he was at the Second-Grade.

He used to feel like a giant hammer was constantly hitting him on the head, but now it's all turned into a small hammer. If he can improve his physical condition further, the small hammer will turn into an inflatable hammer, and he can sleep peacefully again.

Thinking about it this way fills me with happiness.

Song Shuhang put away the 'Meteor Sword', planning to return it to Senior White next time they met.

Then, he looked into the distance, smiled, and made a 'success' gesture to Yu Jiaojiao and Daoist Horizon!

It's a success! This time it's a real success.

After Shuhang, Yu Jiaojiao, and Daoist Horizon news, a thought suddenly struck him.

Then, he quickly reached into the 'Inch-Shrinking Bag' and took out an item—an Enlightenment Stone, with the roots of the Onion Lady embedded in it.

Just now, Shuhang suddenly sensed a tremendous life force emanating from the Enlightenment Stone!

A few minutes ago.

Onion Lady was still feeling incredibly unlucky today. Her precious, plump onion tip had been reduced to ashes by the Heavenly Thunder. She felt utterly hopeless.

When will she be able to grow a complete scallion sprout again and transform into human form once more?

Just as she was pondering this, the 'Heavenly Thunder Tempering' descended from the sky. While tempering Song Shuhang's Body Tempering, a portion of the Heavenly Thunder also flowed into the 'Onion Lady' Enlightenment Stone, which possessed Song Shuhang's bloodline.

After the Body Tempering Heavenly Thunder, Onion Lady felt a tingling numbness in her onion roots—she felt today was truly a tragedy.

At this moment, Shuhang suddenly took out the Enlightenment Stone.

"[What happened?]" Onion Lady asked, puzzled.

The next moment, a green scallion sprout with a touch of bright red grew rapidly on the Enlightenment Stone... In the blink of an eye, the Onion Lady had grown into a scallion more than half a meter tall.

Onion Lady was taken aback.

Then, she let out a joyful laugh, "Hahaha, wahaha!"

Her scallion sprouts have grown again, and now they're fully grown.

At the same time, Onion Lady's heart stirred.

The next moment, she transformed into a woman with fair skin and a beautiful face.

She wore a light blue cheongsam that accentuated her slender yet voluptuous figure. Her long green hair was tied into pigtails and hung down her back.

Because the Enlightenment Stone had been held in Song Shuhang's hand, after Onion Lady successfully Transformation, the tips of her jade feet rested on Shuhang's palm.

"Hahaha, I've finally Transformation!" Onion Lady exclaimed happily.

Moreover, this time, she learned from her previous mistake. When she transformed, the Enlightenment Stone was deeply hidden within her body, so it would no longer cause her to appear pregnant.

Onion Lady stood with her hands on her hips, perched on Song Shuhang's palms, laughing triumphantly.

"Congratulations, Fellow Onion Dao, onion has Transformation." Song Shuhang held up his hand, feeling the Onion Lady in his hand as light as a feather.

When Onion Lady heard Song Shuhang's voice, her laughter stopped abruptly, and her face turned bitter.

She finally managed to Transformation, but she was still just an Onion Lady spirit—a pitiful Onion Spirit with only the First-Grade, Three-Aperture Nose Aperture realm.

Although she had the Enlightenment Stone to help her, her onion tip had broken and snapped repeatedly over the past few months, and it was already quite an achievement that her cultivation level hadn't declined. The whole process brought tears to her eyes.

Her opponent, Mr. Song Shuhang, a human cultivator whose cultivation level was originally similar to hers, suddenly became a powerful Third-Grade cultivator in a short period of time, as if he had a cheat code.

Onion Lady looked up at the sky— Unknown Mother, when will I escape from this man's grasp and gain my freedom?

She now deeply regrets her actions; she shouldn't have acted so impulsively and tried to steal the Enlightenment Stone...

After sighing for a long time, she looked down at Shuhang and blinked. "Fellow Shuhang, please grant me my freedom, considering how hard I've worked to regain my Transformation?"

"Hehe." Song Shuhang chuckled softly— the Enlightenment Stone was still with Onion Lady; how could he possibly release Onion Lady before separating her from the Enlightenment Stone?

Onion Lady: "Damn it!"

Song Shuhang: "Hehe."

******************************

Far away.

Yu Jiaojiao and Daoist Horizon smiled and stepped forward to congratulate Song Shuhang on his successful Tribulation Transcendence.

In the Cultivator World, every successful Tribulation Transcendence is a cause for celebration. Disciples from major sects and families who successfully Tribulation Transcendence will even host a banquet to entertain their guests.

After taking a few steps, Daoist Horizon's expression suddenly changed.

His aura began to stir restlessly.

Seemingly affected by the aftershocks of the recent Heavenly Tribulation... his cultivation level was somewhat unable to be suppressed.

Tragically, even though he was very careful to control himself, he was still affected.

Now, suppressing one's cultivation level is useless, so—this is the time to transfer power! By transferring power, one can lower one's cultivation level and delay one's Heavenly Tribulation.

Daoist Horizon made a hand seal, then turned to look at Yu Jiaojiao beside him. "Miss Jiaojiao, although you are Sea Demon... my Great Transmission Technique has been improved over many years and has reached a level that even demons can accept. Therefore, I have ten years of pure internal energy here. This time, I won't trade it; I'll give it to you for free, how about that?"

Yu Jiaojiao: "..."

"I'm sorry, Daoist Master, I don't think I need my internal energy for the time being," Yu Jiaojiao refused.

Daoist Horizon felt a pang of regret.

Then he called out to Song Shuhang in the distance, "Young friend Shuhang, although you have only just successfully Tribulation Transcendence, you can never have too much internal energy. I have ten years' worth of pure internal energy here; would you like it for free?"

Song Shuhang: "..."

"I'm sorry, Daoist Master, I just successfully advanced in my cultivation level and at least want to consolidate my realm first," Song Shuhang replied sincerely.

"That's right, it's more important for you to consolidate your cultivation right now." Daoist Horizon sighed softly. If he couldn't pass on his skills, he would have no choice but to seal himself away.

However, sealing oneself has many side effects and limitations... unlike transferring power, which makes one feel relaxed all over after the transfer.

Just as he was pondering this, Daoist Horizon suddenly noticed the Onion Lady standing in Song Shuhang's hand.

"Huh??" The Daoist priest's eyes widened.

He originally thought that the Transformation demon was a 'Fifth-Grade' demon. Therefore, he never considered passing on his skills to Onion Lady.

Both belong to the Fifth-Grade, and there's a difference between humans and demons. With ten years of refined cultivation, Fifth-Grade Great Demon wouldn't be anything special.

But when Daoist Horizon took a closer look, he discovered that this Onion Lady was only at the Third Aperture of the First-Grade.

This level of understanding is too low.

Speaking of which, how did this little demon Transformation at such a low level? Is it some kind of special race? A rare and precious creature? Or perhaps it encountered some special opportunity?

But regardless of the type... this enchantress is the perfect recipient of my power.

Daoist Horizon asked, "Young friend Shuhang, is this Onion Spirit in your hand your demon pet?"

"You call me a demon pet? I'm a free Onion Spirit, not He Ren's pet." Onion Lady turned her little face and glared at Daoist Horizon, emphasizing the word 'free'!

Song Shuhang nodded slightly. "Yes, Daoist Master. Onion Lady is not my pet; she's just staying with me temporarily for certain reasons."

"That's wonderful," said Daoist Horizon. "Onion Demon, Old Daoist have ten years' worth of pure internal energy here, which I'll give to you for free. Do you want it?"

"No way! I'll be unlucky if you transfer your power to me, and I'll die soon," said Onion Lady. She had always been with Song Shuhang, so she had naturally heard the rumors about the 'Transmission Maniac' from Yu Jiaojiao.

"That's a malicious slander against Old Daoist. In fact, as long as you diligently cultivate after receiving Old Daoist power and nurture and digest the power I imparted, you won't be in any danger... For example, the young fellow Daoist who received Old Daoist power not long ago has been cultivating diligently and is now Peak Third-Grade cultivator, almost ready to break through to the Fourth-Grade Realm!" Daoist Horizon smiled slightly.

When Onion Lady heard this, she was actually tempted.

She felt that if she continued like this, the gap between her and Shuhang's cultivation levels would only widen.

Then, as Song Shuhang's cultivation level increased, the gap in strength between them widened, and her hope of escaping became increasingly slim.

But if she accepts the Old Daoist priest's teachings, she will quickly reach the Fourth-Grade Realm!

"Is it really free?" Onion Lady asked.

"Ten years of refined cultivation, given away for free, not a penny required," Daoist Horizon smiled gently.

"Then I'll take it!" Onion Lady said firmly, "Let me tell you beforehand, I don't have a single Spirit Stone on me. Even if you want to buy Spirit Stone later, you won't get a single one."

"Don't worry, Old Daoist word is my bond," Daoist Horizon assured him, then gestured for Song Shuhang to put down Onion Lady.

Song Shuhang then remembered that Onion Lady had been held in his palm the whole time.

So he put the Onion Lady on the ground.

This was Onion Lady's own decision, or perhaps it was after learning about the rumors of the 'Transmission Maniac,' so Shuhang wouldn't stop her. Maybe this was Onion Lady's destiny?

Following the instructions of Daoist Horizon, Onion Lady sat cross-legged on the ground.

The next moment, Daoist Horizon floated up.

"Watch the Old Daoist's Power-Transference Great Art!" said Daoist Horizon, as he floated up to Onion Lady's head, then hung upside down, head to head with Onion Lady, and began the process of transferring power.

What a bizarre way to transfer power!
