What is the Undying characteristic?

The Primordial Spirit connects with the Heaven and Earth Will, and the mind is empty, tranquil, and pure, thus understanding the Great Dao.

Historically, only those Spirit Wander Realm, Ninth Heaven can achieve this, Primordial Spirit Sees Dao and receiving unimaginable benefits, thus possessing the Undying characteristic.

However, there are always extraordinary individuals who, before reaching the Nine Heavens, during their eighth Eighth or Ninth Tribulation, achieve that milestone ahead of time, allowing their strength to rival that of Nine Heavens experts.

Jiang Ping, who has just survived the Four-Nine Tribulation, seems to have achieved this even earlier.

As long as he raises his head, his Primordial Spirit Sees Dao, and he will be able to possess the Undying characteristic ahead of time. Then, among those of the Same Realm, his strength will truly be invincible, and he will dare to say that he can kill indiscriminately below the Nine Heavens.

But does he really dare to raise his head?

At this moment, Jiang Ping felt no joy whatsoever; instead, he was extremely solemn, his heart pounding so intensely that it almost completely overwhelmed his mind.

He's only at the Fourth Heaven, Primordial Spirit hasn't yet passed the Seven-Nine Tribulation. He's not strong enough yet, and once he reaches the Dao, he'll most likely die!

Jiang Ping felt a chill, then became alert, and muttered to himself:

"It's not something that can be achieved overnight. Looking at the world's extraordinary talents, they all awakened one level earlier than ordinary people at the Nine Heavens."

After surviving this ordeal, his mindset became more stable. Whether in the Northern You Sea or on the vast continent, among so many geniuses, none of them mastered the Undying characteristic at the mid-stage of the Divine Travel realm.

Jiang Ping didn't think those people couldn't do it, but rather that they shouldn't.

Those Near-Dao Being were all exceptionally talented geniuses, surpassing their generation. They all awakened in the Eighth Heaven.

Clearly, this matter cannot be forced.

In the end, Jiang Ping withdrew from this state of mind and suppressed the chanting gods.

"Puff!"

He had just stepped out when he vomited blood again.

The Heavenly Tribulation Saber of the Heavens still lingers, attempting to prevent him from breaking through the barrier.

But at this moment, Jiang Ping was completely fearless.

He sat cross-legged in tranquility, carefully observing the changes within himself.

Soon, when the calamity blade stopped descending completely, he was certain that he had completely broken through the barrier, survived the Four-Nine Tribulation, and his cultivation had barely caught up with most of the Close to the Dao Seed of the time.

Jiang Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief and completely relaxed.

He reviewed the ordeal, which was extremely dangerous. If it weren't for his extraordinary talent, he might not have been able to withstand the final Heavenly Tribulation Saber of the Heavens, which was specifically designed to target his foundation.

"No wonder Zhong Shenxiu, as Near-Dao Reincarnation Palm Control, though clearly in control of Life and Death, only takes life as his foundation."

Jiang Ping sighed deeply.

The deeper one's foundation, the greater the boost to one's strength. However, the more dangerous the process of Crossing the Tribulation and breaking through realms becomes, and even he almost completely lost his composure.

If it weren't for his Destiny protecting him and his realization at the crucial moment, it's hard to say whether he could have overcome it.

At this moment, Jiang Ping thought of Ji Wushuang again.

That Great Yin Yang, in terms of Dao foundation, is in no way inferior to him. The other party has no Destiny, no cheat codes, and relied solely on his own talent to overcome the tribulation early on, and is now about to overcome the Seven-Nine Tribulation.

"Could it be that I am inferior to Ji Wushuang?"

Jiang Ping murmured.

He believes that his success is entirely due to talent, and that Destiny merely serves to record his progress.

But now, it is only through Destiny that he has suddenly realized the truth and has narrowly escaped this predicament.

Doesn't this mean that, on his own, he might not even be able to compare with Ji Wushuang?

"Jiang Ping!"

At that moment, a call broke Jiang Ping's complicated thoughts.

He parted the fog and saw a figure searching in the distance.

The other person's face was filled with worry as they called out to him loudly.

"Qing Yan."

Jiang Ping responded and moved over, smiling:

"Why are you here?"

Chen Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that her husband was still as handsome as ever, and said:

"You haven't come home for a day, I'm afraid something might have happened to you."

She knew that the other party had always Crossing the Tribulation in one fell swoop, never taking this long before.

"I'm fine, I passed the level smoothly."

Jiang Ping replied that he did not reveal the danger he had just experienced, partly because he was afraid of worrying his wife.

"By the way, do you still have the Storage Ring I gave you?"

Jiang Ping suddenly asked.

"Yes, it's on me."

Chen Qingyan raised her right hand, revealing an exquisite Jade Ring on her ring finger.

"Very good."

Jiang Ping took out two Divine Medicine from the ring.

"Huh? What's this?"

Chen Qingyan was puzzled. She had just broken through the barrier; surely she couldn't use the Divine Medicine now?

But then she saw her husband swallow the Divine Medicine in large gulps and laugh loudly:

"I am a prodigy, how could I be inferior to others!"

Soon after, an unprecedented Great Tribulation shook Chen Qingyan to her core.

Clearly, Jiang Ping has just broken through his cultivation barrier and is about to Crossing the Tribulation.

The father of the child is going to overcome two obstacles in one go!!

At this moment, Jiang Ping was in high spirits, forcefully overcoming the Spirit Wander Tribulation once again.

His Primordial Spirit is already able to connect with the Heaven and Earth Will, understand the Great Dao, and unite all gods into one, making it extremely stable. So what if he undergoes Crossing the Tribulation one after another?

Before long, Jiang Ping successfully Crossing the Tribulation, and his Primordial Spirit body became even stronger.

Of course, even when he grasped the Reincarnation Heavenly Saber and stepped into an unnameable realm, he still dared not raise his head.

Jiang Ping withdrew from this realm in time, and all the strange phenomena dissipated. After sorting out his foundation and confirming that he had perfectly established himself in the Fifth Heaven, he revealed a satisfied smile.

Yes, his cultivation level is quite high now, so he's more confident about going to the Yellow Springs Absolute Land.

Let's go, we're moving today.

Jiang Ping left with his wife.

Time was tight, and it was uncertain whether Zhong Shenxiu and his group would even set off; they couldn't afford to delay any longer.

"Father!"

As soon as they returned to the dojo, the little girl Jiang Yao excitedly called out.

Although she was terrified when Jiang Ping was around, she couldn't suppress her longing for him after he had been gone for more than half a month.

"Good boy/girl."

Jiang Ping, holding his youngest daughter, scanned the dojo with his divine sense and looked at his son Jiang Hao beside him:

Where is my sister?

My elder sister has gone to say goodbye to her old friend.

Jiang Hao answered respectfully.

"Father!"

At this moment, Jiang Yirou, having bid farewell to her relatives and friends, appeared and excitedly said:

"Father, I've heard that there are many exceptional talents outside the island, quite a few of whom are stronger than you."

"Yeah, wouldn't you like to watch a bunch of Close to the Dao Seed cultivators fight it out?"

"I want to... sob"

Jiang Yirou was about to nod when her mother stopped her.

Chen Qingyan glared at him. "Don't cause trouble for your father. Once you're off the island, stay put on Lingchuan Island and don't go anywhere else."

"Oh."

Jiang Yirou pouted.

"Let's go, let's set off!"

Soon after, the family of five quietly left the Great Li Imperial City.

Of course, they were going on a long journey under the guise of traveling for several years.

Few doubted this, given that Jiang Saint Zeng Youyuan twice before, setting a precedent.

Everything went smoothly, and they left the island without incident in no time.

"Is this what the outside of the island is like? It doesn't seem any different."

Jiang Yirou stood on the sea, looking around. Soon, she spotted a Sea Beast and ran towards it excitedly.

Chen Qingyan looked back at her homeland shrouded in fog, then turned and walked away without looking back.

Afterwards, Jiang Ping returned to Lingchuan Island, sent his family to the territory of the three seniors, and without much reminiscing, he directly Primordial Spirit out of his body and roamed freely between heaven and earth.

Call out!

Jiang Ping traversed tens of thousands of miles in the blink of an eye. He discovered that his travel speed had increased significantly after his cultivation level improved.

In less than half a day, he arrived silently on the Artificial Island next to the Forbidden Land.

"Yes, we haven't set off yet, but it'll be soon."

Jiang Ping breathed a sigh of relief after finding out the news.

"Huh? Brother Fang Yong isn't going home and not coming back, is he?"

At the next table, Wu Qingqing looked regretful, still wanting to team up with Fang Yong.

Unbeknownst to her, Brother Fang was drinking nearby.

Jiang Ping didn't plan to team up with them to go to the island this time. He thought to himself:

"I am Jiang Pingping."
