Qi Refining Ninth Layer True Human Era

Why is there such a thing as the Three Kalpas on the path of spiritual cultivation?

Ever since Yang Ning achieved the Divine Appearance, he has been pondering this question.

If we can find the cause and then find a way to work around it, is that possible?

People in the cultivation world would never have such thoughts. They regard every word and action of their predecessors as truth and dare not make the slightest change.

Now, Yang Ning wants to change not just a single word or phrase, but a whole new level of understanding!

However, having come from the world of technology, Yang Ning is used to turning the impossible into the possible.

For example, lithography machines are difficult to manufacture, right? Well then I'll set up a lithography factory. What's so special about that?

The crown jewel of industry has been almost completely exploited, and now you're telling me that the three tribulations must be overcome, and this is the inviolable law of Heavenly Dao?

I don't believe it!

Yang Ning gathered a large number of scientists to study this problem, including not only those with Huaxia style like Chu Xuan and Chen Ang, but also scientists from parallel worlds like Tony Stark, Tobirama Senju, Orochimaru, and Vegapunk.

As long as they receive a lot of attention and are allocated a large amount of National Luck, their cultivation speed can be incredibly fast. With the addition of large-diameter Spiritual Qi channels, they have cultivated from mortal bodies to the Qi Refining Eighth Layer in just a few years, standing at the threshold of the Three Tribulations Realm, and have the qualifications and motivation to face this problem directly.

To facilitate the research, Yang Ning also used a large number of Black Emperor's Eye. The Black Emperor's Eye are products of electronic inscriptions with rune circuits and then eroded by Nightmare Energy. They were developed as early as the 22nd year of the Great Xia Calendar, and have been around for 23 years.

Nowadays, the Black Emperor's Eye has spread throughout Taiheng and has also integrated into Taiheng's ecosystem, becoming part of Taiheng's atmosphere, sunlight, water, and other natural ecosystems.

After all, electrons exist on the outside of every atom, and the Black Emperor's Eye is hidden inside the atom, undetected by anyone to this day.

After all, although Taiheng and Thunder Method possess many unparalleled Peerless Divine Abilities, no one would specifically study individual electrons.

They are more focused on making the thunder more powerful and lethal, which are all macroscopic things.

This is the world lacking in natural science; there are gains and losses in everything.

Yang Ning used the Black Emperor's Eye to directly enter the cultivators' bodies and monitor all the Qi Refining Level 8 cultivators in Taiheng. Although not many people had undergone tribulation in the past twenty-three years, there were still tens of thousands. Every reaction of their bodies, every cell, and every change in their genes during their tribulation was recorded.

Through gradual accumulation, I finally gained a basic understanding of the Three Kalpas.

The three tribulations are wind, fire, and thunder.

The first two are caused by the cultivators themselves, while lightning is descended from heaven and earth. So the question arises: why do cultivators face three tribulations? Is it truly, as cultivators say, a test sent by the Heavenly Dao to test them?

Since it's a test, shouldn't it be the cultivators with higher cultivation levels and deeper accumulation who successfully overcome the tribulation?

Why did cultivators with high cultivation levels and deep Law Power not show a particular advantage among tens of thousands of samples? Why was their success rate in transcending tribulations similar to that of cultivators with less accumulated power?

This doesn't seem like a test; it's more like randomly picking someone to kill.

After investigation, the Academy of the Spirit Realm Sciences finally determined that these three tribulations were not tests of the Heavenly Dao at all.

On the contrary, this thing has nothing to do with the Tian Dao Yi, but is related to the cultivation Cultivation Method of cultivators.

The occurrence of the Three Tribulations was due to a flaw in the cultivation Cultivation Method.

Just as it was particularly difficult for cultivators to draw Qi Induction into their Qi Induction before, Yang Ning made it much easier after adding the Yang Shen Realm in the middle.

There is now one less realm between the Divine Aspect Realm and the Qi Refining Ninth Layer Pure Yang Realm of the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.

Which level is missing?

Yang Shen Realm!

That's right, it was Yang Ning who created the Yang God Method, giving birth to the Yang God realm!

You see, even those at the Divine Aspect Realm must undergo the three tribulations of wind, fire, and thunder.

Yang Ning's Yang God Method also requires him to undergo the three tribulations of wind, fire, and thunder.

Isn't that a coincidence?

Previously, cultivators did not cultivate their souls, but relied entirely on their Law Power for passive tempering. As a result, even when they reached the Divine Aspect Realm, their souls were still considered Yin God.

Qi Refining Ninth Layer Pure Yang Realm, requires a cultivator to cultivate a Pure Yang Body. While the body is good for cultivation, what about the soul?

With too many gaps in the foundation, now only brute force can create miracles. In order to quickly transform the Yin God into the Yang spirit, the Taiheng cultivators devised the Three Tribulations Method, which is specifically for transforming the Yin God into the Yang spirit.

Once the cause is found, finding evidence becomes much easier.

The Three Tribulations do not kill randomly, but rather depend on the quality of an individual's soul.

The stronger a person's soul, the easier it is for them to withstand the three tribulations.

Of course, the soul resides within the body, and its quality is generally not apparent. However, a strong soul leads to strong mental power, as well as enhanced memory, comprehension, and other aspects of intelligence.

In other words, people will appear very intelligent.

Therefore, those who can pass through the Three Tribulations Realm are generally very intelligent cultivators, that is, geniuses in the general sense!

However, those who reach this level are all geniuses in everyone's eyes, making it difficult to discern their flashes of insight. As a result, such a simple thing has been hidden beneath the truth for hundreds of thousands of years without anyone discovering it!

To confirm this, Yang Ning had the Spirit Realm cultivators try it out again.

The people of the Spirit Realm were born after he created the Yang God Method, and therefore they all cultivated the Yang God before Qi Induction.

It just so happens that many people were already stuck at the Divine Aspect Realm, waiting to undergo tribulation. As soon as Yang Ning's research results came out, many people immediately had the intention to break through.

The first to attempt this was the Sect Leader Tongtian.

Yang Ning didn't know much about the historical or mythological versions of Tongtian; the one he was familiar with was a Tongtian created in Primordial World novels.

He has the appearance of a young man, cares for his students, is ambitious and enterprising, spirited and straightforward.

Furthermore, he possesses exceptional talent, whether in swordsmanship or spiritual cultivation.

He summoned the arrival of the Three Tribulations in accordance with the methods of the Taiheng cultivation world, but unexpectedly, what he summoned was not a divine wind that could burn his body, but a small, almost imperceptible Qingfeng.

Moreover, it disappeared in an instant.

The same was true for the flames; Tongtian only felt a flash of light on his divine form, and he had actually passed this test!

The tribulation lightning wasn't even summoned, because Tongtian was already skilled in Thunder Method, and his divine form, imbued with the Law Power of lightning, was constantly being tempered. Why would he need a tribulation lightning to temper him?

The next step is for the divine form to unite with the physical body, and for the Law Power to merge with every cell, creating a pure Yang body.

From then on, cultivators no longer had the concept of Meridians or dantian. Their Law Power could go anywhere and be stored anywhere. The cultivator's Law Power increased countless times, and their lifespan also transcended.

Cultivators are no longer limited to a few channels such as the palms, soles, eyes, mouth, and nose when practicing and casting spells. Instead, they can absorb and release Spiritual Qi throughout their entire body, which also greatly enriches their methods of combat.

Pure Yang cultivators are entitled to a lifespan of 50,000 years and are known as True Person, having essentially eliminated any worries about their lifespan.

Tongtian can also be called Tongtian True Person or True Human Shangqing!

After their breakthrough to the Heavenly Realm, the two brothers were naturally not to be outdone, and they also broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, becoming True Person.

Subsequently, Nuwa Fuxi, Di Jun, Taiyi, and other powerful figures broke through to new heights, and even the scientists in the Spirit Realm Academy of Sciences broke through to new heights.

From this point on, cultivators of the Spirit Realm entered the era of True Person!

On the contrary, Yang Ning was in some trouble because he was too talented and had successfully Qi Induction before he could cultivate the Yang God Method.

The courses that were missed back then need to be made up for now.

Fortunately, having learned the principles of the Three Tribulations Realm, Yang Ning naturally had a simple way to pass through it.

Bring out your divine image, first let it be exposed to the cold wind, then scorched by the blazing sun, and finally struck by lightning.

This is definitely not called "passing three tribulations," because the soul strength at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer is different from that at the Body Refinement Realm. Such natural tribulations are no longer sufficient for the soul to transform into a Yang God.

However, at least it can help build up some endurance.

Having been tempered by the tribulations of nature, the divine form has developed resistance, and the damage caused by the three tribulations will be much less.

Yang Ning then awakened the Three Tribulations according to the secret text of the Cultivation Method.

His three tribulations were indeed different from Tongtian's, which were imperceptible. Instead, like those of other cultivators, they swirled around his entire divine form without a single flaw.

Pain is definitely painful, but unlike physical pain, this pain comes from the soul. It cannot be shielded or erased, and even returning to the Spirit Realm is useless; the pain will follow.

Fortunately, Yang Ning had a firm will, and there was also feedback from many cultivators that he possessed the Pure Yang Realm cultivation level.

Furthermore, even without the Spirit Realm, his comprehension is exceptional, so withstanding the Wind Tribulation is no problem!

Three days later, the Wind Tribulation ended, and Yang Ning's divine appearance had shrunk considerably!

But Yang Ning didn't feel weaker. On the contrary, his divine appearance had a feeling of being tempered into steel, or like a sandcastle that had been blown away by the cold wind and turned from sand into stone!

"Go all out! A second attempt will be weaker, a third will be exhausted, but come back again!" Yang Ning decisively launched the second wave of calamity, the fire calamity!

Crimson flames instantly enveloped the deity's entire body.

If the wind is blowing away the cracks, then the fire is refining the steel. Yang Ning clearly felt his somewhat illusory divine form transforming into a real object. This reality was not a Secret Method of switching between illusion and reality, but rather reality had become the norm, and turning it into illusion required spells.

The fire disaster passed in three days.

After a brief rest, Yang Ning survived another tribulation of lightning.

This was the simplest tribulation for him, because he started with Thunder Method and used Thunder Method to create a "Absolute Earth Heavenly Connection".

Perhaps no one in the entire Taiheng Kingdom understands Thunder Method better than him.

After the tribulation, Yang Ning's somewhat gray divine appearance became even darker, its color turning into a refined, pure gray, completely different from the pure white, pure blue, or even pure gold of other cultivators.

This is the Nightmare Immortal. His Law Power is fundamentally different from that of other cultivators, and the divine form he cultivates is naturally different as well.

However, Yang Ning was very satisfied with his new divine form and even enthusiastically named it: Nightmare Sage Divine Aspect.

The fusion of the Nightmare Sage Divine Aspect and the Nightmare Immortal Divine Body creates a Dharma Body, which is naturally called the Nightmare Sage Dharma Body.

As for the title of "True Person, "Yang Ning doesn't need it. He's not involved in the Taiheng Cultivation World at all. Since they're not in the same circle, there's no need for him to force himself into it.
