Transforming Under Heavenly Punishment

Master Tongtian snorted coldly, ignoring Daoist Zhunti. Instead, he turned his gaze towards the Profound Origin Water Control Banner before him.

At this moment, the heavenly punishment had completely condensed. Everyone's figures flickered, retreating a thousand miles away.

"This isn't right. How is this different from the script? Don't other transmigrators have saints vying to take them as disciples? How come when it's my turn, Chen Xuan, everyone avoids me like the plague?"

Just as Chen Xuan was muttering to himself, the first heavenly punishment tribulation lightning descended from the sky.

A bolt of lightning as thick as a water bucket struck directly onto the Profound Origin Water Control Banner, causing Chen Xuan's soul to tremble along with it.

After Chen Xuan endured this tribulation lightning, his compatibility with the Profound Origin Water Control Banner became even more perfect.

At the same time, Chen Xuan's soul also became stronger, no longer as fragile as before.

However, the pain coming from the depths of his soul made it impossible for Chen Xuan to feel any of this.

The second tribulation lightning immediately descended from the sky, its diameter roughly twice that of the first.

The third was roughly twice the second.

The fourth was roughly twice the third...

After a total of nine heavenly punishment tribulation lightning bolts fell, the location where Chen Xuan was situated had been smashed into a deep pit a hundred miles deep.

Although the Profound Origin Water Control Banner was still floating in mid-air under the control of Chen Xuan's soul, it had already shown signs of wilting.

Meanwhile, the expressions on the faces of the people standing a thousand miles away were all different.

Jieyin and Zhunti in the west had their eyes slightly closed, as if it had nothing to do with them.

Yuanshi Tianzun kept shaking his head and sighing, while Taishang Laozi watched everything happening before him with a blank expression.

Goddess Nvwa's face, however, showed anxiety, and she kept cheering for Chen Xuan in her heart.

Only Tongtian was different from everyone else. At this moment, Tongtian's expression was grim, and his fists were clenched tightly.

Finally, unable to continue ignoring it, he directly transmitted a secret message, saying, "Two senior brothers, can we really not lend him a hand?"

Soon, Yuanshi Tianzun's voice echoed in Tongtian's mind, "This heavenly punishment has a total of eighty-one tribulation lightning bolts, each one twice as powerful as the previous one.

Even if the three of us brothers join forces, with our cultivation at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, we can only barely cope. Even if we help him survive the heavenly tribulation, our losses will be enormous.

With Daoist Zhunti's shameless personality, he will definitely try to snatch the Profound Origin Water Control Banner in the end. And the three of us brothers will be powerless to contend with him."

Although Taishang Laozi did not speak, he nodded at Tongtian, indicating his agreement with Yuanshi Tianzun's view.

"If we hadn't forcibly taken the Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Green Lotus, how could his aura have been revealed? By calculation, we owe him a karmic debt."

"Since the two senior brothers choose to protect yourselves, then let this poor Daoist repay this karmic debt." After Tongtian transmitted the secret message, his figure shot out like an arrow from a bowstring.

At the same time, Master Tongtian had already taken out the Qingping Sword. He met the tenth tribulation lightning and directly slashed down.

"Little friend, don't panic. Let this poor Daoist help you survive this heavenly punishment." As he spoke, Master Tongtian had already cut off the tenth tribulation lightning and stood above Chen Xuan's head.

This couldn't help but warm Chen Xuan's heart, but this was not the time for him to express his gratitude. Because the eleventh tribulation lightning had already descended from the sky.

Tongtian held the Qingping Sword and continuously slashed at the tribulation lightning, eventually cutting off a total of twenty-seven heavenly punishment tribulation lightning bolts.

At this moment, Tongtian was also at the end of his strength. However, only forty percent of the heavenly punishment had passed, and there were still fifty percent with even more astonishing power waiting for them.

After this period of respite, Chen Xuan had slowly recovered. Controlling the Profound Origin Water Control Banner, he directly soared into the sky.

Blocking above Tongtian's head, he said, "Thank you, Immortal Elder, for helping me in my time of life and death. If I am fortunate enough to survive today, I am willing to become your disciple."

After speaking, the Profound Origin Water Control Banner began to slowly enlarge. Finally, the flagpole was forcefully inserted about a hundred miles into the ground. The triangular flag surface fluttered in the wind, covering an area of dozens of miles.

As the triangular flag surface rolled towards Tongtian, it sent the panting Tongtian back a thousand miles away.

The heavenly punishment in the sky did not give Chen Xuan any chance to breathe. Bolts of heavenly punishment roared and struck towards the Profound Origin Water Control Banner.

Seeing that the triangular flag surface already had holes and the flagpole was no longer as straight as before, Tongtian was filled with anxiety. Ignoring the obstruction of Taishang Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, he rushed towards Chen Xuan again.

Taishang Laozi shook his head helplessly. With a wave of his hand, a purple-golden gourd flew towards Tongtian.

Tongtian took the purple-golden gourd, turned back, and nodded at Taishang Laozi. Then, he rushed towards the heavenly punishment again without hesitation.

At the same time, Tongtian had already opened the purple-golden gourd. A Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, shimmering with golden light, was swallowed by Tongtian. His cultivation instantly returned to its peak state.

"Don't worry, little friend. Let this poor Daoist block a few bolts of heavenly punishment for you. You first use this Nine Revolutions Golden Pill to recover your magic power." As he spoke, Tongtian had already thrown the purple-golden gourd to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was not polite. The key was that he was not in a position to be polite. He had just barely withstood eighteen bolts of heavenly punishment, which had left him without any strength.

With a roll of the flag corner, he received the purple-golden gourd. Nine Revolutions Golden Pills poured out from the purple-golden gourd and disappeared onto the triangular flag surface.

This couldn't help but make Taishang Laozi's face twitch a thousand miles away. "This is a whole gourd of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills. Even if the third junior brother swallowed one, there are still ninety-nine left."

Goddess Nvwa, who was beside him, couldn't help but find it amusing when she saw Taishang Laozi's pained expression.

Then, she threw the Nine Heavens Breath Soil she had just obtained towards Chen Xuan.

The Nine Heavens Breath Soil flew to Chen Xuan's feet and instantly filled the hundred-mile-deep pit.

Streams of earth element power instantly entered Chen Xuan's body through the flagpole.

At the same time, the ninety-nine Nine Revolutions Golden Pills also began to provide Chen Xuan with a continuous supply of magic power.

This couldn't help but make Tongtian's face light up with joy. He immediately pointed with the Qingping Sword in his hand and shouted loudly, "Foolish child, when will you transform if not now?"

Tongtian's loud shout was like a sudden enlightenment for Chen Xuan, causing him to instantly open his eyes.

Then, the huge Profound Origin Water Control Banner emitted bursts of mysterious light. Chen Xuan, within the mysterious light, was condensing the Profound Origin Water Control Banner into his physical body.

At the same time, the Nine Heavens Breath Soil under his feet also began to be slowly absorbed by Chen Xuan. Finally, a pure land actually appeared in his divine consciousness.

A small tree broke through the soil, and on the tree, there were golden, shimmering Nine Revolutions Golden Pills.

A small black flag was currently suspended on the Golden Pill tree, continuously emitting bursts of mysterious light.
