Jiang Changsheng wandered around all night, and there were no experts inside or outside Jing City who could contend with Jiang Changsheng. The strongest True Qi in the city belonged to Jiang Yu, and the two were currently on good terms on the surface, so Jiang Yu would not attack him.

Back in his room, Jiang Changsheng began to circulate his energy, first storing up spiritual energy to avoid being short of it later.

The moon set and the sun rose.

In Jing City's cold winter, the sun could be seen. Even though Great Jing was in constant war, Jing City was still prosperous. For the common people, the foot of the Son of Heaven was the safest place.

Rumble——

A thunderous sound suddenly rang out, echoing throughout Jing City, causing countless commoners, soldiers, and dignitaries to turn their heads to look. They saw dark clouds gathering above the Dragon Arising Temple's mountain peak, turning into churning thunderclouds. The snow that filled the sky melted, turning into a water mist that enveloped the Dragon Arising Temple, making it seem like a celestial abode, looming in and out of sight.

The lightning was extremely conspicuous in the vast mist, and even more magnificent in the white daylight of winter.

"Is that the Dragon Arising Temple?"

"It is rumored that Changsheng Taoist Priest once survived a lightning tribulation, could it be happening again?"

"Really? I thought it was just the Dragon Arising Temple spreading rumors."

"It's true, some pilgrims witnessed Changsheng Taoist Priest floating in the air, fighting against lightning, just like an immortal."

"Today, I will see for myself whether it's true or false."

The people in the city discussed animatedly.

Inside the imperial palace, Jiang Yuan, supported by the Empress, walked tremblingly out of the imperial study, looking towards the distant Dragon Arising Temple.

The Empress had taken the Youth Preservation Pill and remained eternally youthful, but Jiang Yuan looked to be in his seventies or eighties, his body much thinner, and he trembled as he walked. He said, "That little Taoist priest Changsheng is undergoing tribulation again. I am curious, is he really undergoing tribulation, or is he just putting on a show?"

The Empress smiled and said, "Naturally, he is just putting on a show. Cultivators don't need to undergo tribulation."

Jiang Yuan said, "I always feel that he is not putting on a show. Take the Youth Preservation Pill for example, do you think it's magical? No famous doctor or great Dao Master in the world could refine such a pill."

The Empress thought it made sense and became even more interested in Changsheng Taoist Priest, saying, "Your Majesty, you are so close to Changsheng Taoist Priest, when will you summon him into the palace so that I can take a look at him?"

Jiang Yuan's eyes became unfocused, and he said faintly, "It's about time to let him come and see you."

At the same time.

Inside the Dragon Arising Temple, Xu Tianji, Wang Chen, and Huang Chuan were dumbfounded, while Jiang Ziyu and Ping An were extremely excited. They all looked up at Jiang Changsheng, who was floating in the air above the eaves.

Jiang Changsheng sat in meditation in the air, his robes fluttering, the Kirin Whisk resting flat on his legs. A bolt of lightning struck down, but was blocked and dissipated by an invisible aura around him.

The tribulation had begun!

"So the rumors are true... he really can undergo lightning tribulation... What kind of martial art is the Universe Heaven Scripture?"

Xu Tianji muttered to himself, his gaze towards Jiang Changsheng changed, like a mortal looking up to an immortal.

The disciples of the Dragon Arising Temple and the temporarily residing pilgrims all gathered outside the courtyard to watch the excitement. Many new disciples had never seen Jiang Changsheng undergo tribulation, so they were very excited.

The last tribulation was eighteen years ago, when Jiang Changsheng was twenty-one years old. Now he was thirty-nine years old.

Jiang Changsheng ignored the gazes of others and focused on undergoing the tribulation. As the lightning increased, he began to feel the pressure.

The sixth level of tribulation is too terrifying!

Far beyond the last tribulation!

The deafening roar made everyone in Dragon Arising Temple feel like the sky was about to collapse, and the people in the city were equally frightened, fearing that Dragon Arising Mountain would be destroyed by the lightning tribulation.

Seeing that the power of the lightning tribulation had already begun, Jiang Changsheng immediately began to use Incense value to offset the power of the lightning tribulation. In an instant, specks of Incense faint light emerged from his body, scattered above his head, and quickly formed a blaze of fire, resisting the continuous bombardment of the heavenly lightning.

Jiang Changsheng watched as the Incense value began to decrease. With the fire above his head, he could temporarily preserve his spiritual power.

No matter how powerful the lightning was, it just couldn't break through the fire and strike him. He felt like he was enjoying the cool under a tree, but in full view of everyone, he couldn't relax too much and had to pretend to be displaying divine powers.

"Amazing, such thunderous power can't hit the Taoist Priest."

"This heavenly lightning isn't an illusion."

"What is the fire above the Taoist Priest's head, is it transformed from true qi?"

"Perhaps this is what the Taoists call the gathering of the three flowers at the summit."

"We should call the Taoist Priest an Immortal Master, and not offend him. Hurry up and pay respects."

The disciples were discussing, and the pilgrims knelt down one after another, causing the disciples to kneel down as well.

Jiang Ziyu was extremely excited, he didn't notice the birthmark between his eyebrows flashing with a faint golden light.

Wang Chen sighed: "The realm of martial arts is truly unimaginable. I used to underestimate martial arts."

Xu Tianji stood beside him, took a deep breath, and said: "Indeed, the realm of martial arts has no peak. Since ancient times, those legends of immortals and gods were just the deeds of powerful martial artists. Mortals just dare not believe that they can reach such heights through martial arts. The Taoist Priest's tribulation can only show that his realm is far beyond what we have seen and heard."

After surpassing the Heavenly Connection Realm, Xu Tianji thought he was invincible. He was sure that he had surpassed the Heavenly Connection Realm and reached a higher realm. At least within Great Jing, he had not encountered anyone stronger than himself.

But compared to Changsheng Taoist Priest, such a realm was like just embarking on the path of martial arts.

Inside the Prince Wei Manor.

Jiang Yu stood in the courtyard, looking at the spectacular lightning tribulation on Dragon Arising Mountain. He frowned and asked: "Changsheng Taoist Priest is undergoing his second tribulation. Although I don't know what martial arts he practices, if he becomes an enemy of this Prince in the future, can the Great Vehicle Dragon Tower suppress him?"

Gui Liu, the leader of the Thirteen Heavenly Lodestar Assassins, replied: "The Dragon Tower's foundation is naturally deep, but it is not clear how strong this Demonic Taoist is. If Your Highness is not at ease, I can write a letter and ask the Dragon Tower to send a Venerable to test him."

Jiang Yu shook his head and said: "Forget it, that would only anger him. Now he is Ziyu's master. Apart from that Chen Li, no other dignitaries associate with him, and even Jiang Yu has broken off contact with him. Perhaps he is really the kind of person who seeks the Dao beyond the mundane world. Let's maintain the status quo."

Gui Liu nodded. He actually felt that testing was unnecessary, because Changsheng Taoist Priest was already very strong and could not be suppressed now. Moreover, with such an expert in Jing City, the Jiang family's imperial power was safer.

After the lightning tribulation lasted for half an hour, the Incense value was exhausted, and Jiang Changsheng had to personally resist the lightning tribulation.

Fortunately, the most difficult moment had passed, and he could withstand the subsequent lightning tribulation on his own.

Xu Tianji had lost count of how many lightning strikes Jiang Changsheng had endured. Anyway, he now admired Jiang Changsheng extremely and regarded him as a god in his heart.

After about another half an hour, the lightning tribulation finally ended, and the mighty power of the heavens dissipated.

Jiang Changsheng began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on a large scale. The branches of the Earth Spirit Tree swayed, and invisible and colorless spiritual energy poured towards Jiang Changsheng, forming a whirlwind around him.

His spiritual power began to skyrocket!

Another transformation!

Jiang Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes and found himself floating in the air, looking down, his body was still below.

"This is... soul out of body?"

Jiang Changsheng was pleasantly surprised, soul projection was one of the characteristics of cultivating immortality, he began to manipulate his soul to float, and found it was like a fish in water, exceptionally agile. He landed in the courtyard, but none of the people saw his soul, still looking at his body, discussing among themselves.

No one could see his soul!

Jiang Changsheng flew towards the city, extremely fast, as if using the Sword Control Technique.

He wandered in the sky above Jing City, going up to the sky and down to earth, passing through walls, passing through people, extremely novel.

At this moment, he truly felt like he was cultivating immortality.

Suddenly.

He stopped, suspended in the air, his gaze falling on the distant imperial palace. He saw a cloud of Yin Qi floating above a palace in the imperial palace, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"What is that thing? An evil spirit? Are there secrets in the imperial palace?"

Jiang Changsheng frowned, he looked intently, he had passed by that palace when he broke into the imperial palace at night, and no one lived inside.

Forget it.

He should consolidate his cultivation first.

Jiang Changsheng turned around and flew towards his physical body, his speed was very fast. After his soul entered his body, he only felt an itch in his body, and couldn't help but tremble. When he opened his eyes again, he had already taken control of his body.

Soul projection is really a good skill, especially for obtaining intelligence.

Jiang Changsheng began to consolidate his cultivation, he noticed the Dao纹 between Jiang Ziyu's eyebrows was glowing, fortunately it was very weak, and everyone else's attention was on him, so they didn't notice Jiang Ziyu's abnormality.

This Dao纹 may also contain other mysteries.

Jiang Changsheng thought silently, he did not reveal his own Dao纹, so as not to expose the relationship between the two.

Seeing the thunder tribulation dissipate, Meng Qiushuang and Qing Ku began to disperse the disciples and pilgrims, returning Jiang Changsheng to tranquility.

The birthmark between Jiang Ziyu's eyebrows returned to normal, and he was also dragged into the house by Wang Chen.

Xu Tianji watched for a while, picked up his broom and left, not daring to disturb Jiang Changsheng too much.

Jiang Changsheng hovered in mid-air, circulating his energy to absorb Qi, until dusk fell, the spiritual power in his body was not yet full, but it had already exceeded ten times before the breakthrough.

So strong!

Jiang Changsheng was excited in his heart, after eighteen years of hard cultivation, he finally broke through to the sixth level.

Now he should be able to not fear the Great Vehicle Dragon Tower!

At this moment, lines of words appeared before Jiang Changsheng's eyes:

[In the thirty-ninth year of Kaiyuan, your cultivation has improved, you have comprehended the true meaning of heaven and earth, and you have survived the Minor Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, and obtained a survival reward - the secret technique 'Reincarnation Mark'] [It has been detected that you have successfully transcended the tribulation for the second time. Because your cultivation method does not belong to the Dao of this world, you have two options, and you can only choose one] [1. Give up cultivating immortality, your spiritual power will be transformed into the martial arts realm of this world - Universe Realm] [2. Continue to cultivate immortality, immortality is above all living beings, admired by all things, the road of cultivating immortality is the road of pursuing the Heavenly Dao, you can enable the Incense calculation function]

Naturally, he would continue to cultivate immortality!

Jiang Changsheng made a choice without hesitation, and then pondered the Universe Realm.

He didn't know how much higher the Universe Realm was compared to the Divine Human Realm, but he had never even heard of the Universe Realm. Not to mention the Universe Realm, he had never heard anyone else mention the words Divine Human.

However, the existence of realms meant that someone had reached them before, and in this vast world, there must be existences at the Universe Realm.

Jiang Changsheng would not venture out into the world to seek the Universe Realm. He would stay in Great Jing, in the novice village he had chosen, to cultivate and dominate the situation. When Little Prince Wei ascended the throne and became emperor, he could have the emperor help him search the world for any medicinal herbs he needed for alchemy, saving him the trouble and effort of pursuing the path of immortality.

One day, when the martial arts realm could no longer correspond to the immortal cultivation realm, then he would have surpassed martial arts and reached a state of invincibility.

Once he was invincible, he would live a carefree and joyful life, experiencing all the pleasures of the world!

The protagonist has finally reached the sixth floor, let's celebrate with a flower~~
