The Primordial World Had a Dao Ancestor, Seven Sages Aloft
Qian Renxue was covered in black blood, and her golden hair had turned completely black.
Crimson blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he stood in the air as if he had no strength left, the Mortal Sword in his hand already melted.
Even her consciousness was becoming somewhat blurred, but her will remained strong.
"Can't hold on any longer?"
Qian Renxue sensed her own condition; the speed of her recovery was far outpaced by the speed at which she was being injured again.
She looked at the Hong Lian at her feet; she had never used this Lotus Throne before.
"No!"
Qian Renxue's eyes suddenly cleared.
"I originally ascended to immortality through the Peach of Immortality, so my foundation isn't very solid. The tribulation of lightning naturally serves to refine my foundation, so I must do it to the extreme."
"Such an opportunity is hard to come by. I might not even be able to obtain those treasures that solidify my chances, so I must seize this opportunity and do my best to strengthen my foundation."
The hardships you endure today will save you countless troubles in the future!
"Even if we withstand just one more of the final nine lightning tribulations, our foundation will be more stable."
Although Sun Wukong didn't say it explicitly, Qian Renxue understood that an unstable foundation would inevitably hinder her cultivation.
She was unwilling to spend a lot of time consolidating her foundation.
"Bring it on!"
Qian Renxue decided to withstand another bolt of heavenly lightning to see how things went.
In the midst of Chaos, Nuwa's gaze never actually left Flower-Fruit Mountain.
"I should distribute the reward to this Little Mountain God. His willpower is not bad, and he has a knack for getting things done. That's settled then."
Nuwa pointed her hand towards the lightning tribulation in the Primordial World.
The thunderclouds in the sky suddenly grew larger again.
She couldn't save Qian Renxue from the tribulation; it was something Qian Renxue was meant to experience.
She could simply add something to the lightning tribulation.
Five Finger Mountain, Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly contracted.
"What's going on? Weren't there only nine thunderclouds left? How come they've gotten bigger?"
Bibi Dong was completely bewildered and looked at Princess Iron Fan and Sun Wukong.
"Hiss~"
Princess Iron Fan frowned as well; she had never seen anything like this before.
"Could it not be the Three-Nine Lightning Tribulation, but a higher-level tribulation? That shouldn't be the case."
Upon hearing Princess Iron Fan's words, Bibi Dong's legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.
"Hehe, don't panic, don't panic. It's just the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. It's nothing, nothing. Just watch quietly."
Sun Wukong chuckled, "How many beings in the entire Primordial World can control lightning tribulations?"
Do those others really need to take advantage of the tribulation to kill Qian Renxue?
That's clearly impossible, so the outcome will be different.
Boom~
This time, a bolt of lightning, even thicker than the previous eighteen tribulations, crashed down.
Ah!~
Qian Renxue screamed in agony, the pain piercing to her very bones.
She still underestimated the terror of the final nine lightning tribulations; this single lightning strike melted her entire body.
However, it was at this moment that she sensed a completely new kind of energy brought about by the tribulation lightning.
This energy entered her body, and her broken body began to heal from the inside out.
This is a vibrant energy.
"This is..."
Qian Renxue didn't understand, but she quickly realized what was happening and seized every opportunity to recover her body.
"We made it through!"
Everyone was shocked. Just now, with that kind of momentum, they all thought Qian Renxue was about to be reduced to ashes.
Immediately following, another bolt of lightning struck down.
Each lightning bolt was more terrifying than the last, until the twenty-fifth lightning tribulation. Qian Renxue discovered that even with that mysterious energy, her body's repair speed couldn't keep up with the lightning tribulation.
However, when the twenty-sixth lightning strike came down, Qian Renxue suddenly noticed something different.
This lightning tribulation was less damaging to her body than the previous ones.
But then her mind suddenly went blank.
She saw her own childhood, saw Bibi Dong ruthlessly abandon her, and saw her infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire to prove herself.
Her expression shifted between fierce and heartbroken.
But in the end, the image in her mind froze on the scene of Bibi Dong pushing the Third-Rank Hong Lian towards her with a worried expression.
Qian Renxue regained consciousness and stepped on the Third-Rank Hong Lian, a feeling that brought her comfort.
Is this a tribulation of the heart?
"So, I made it through; I have the Hong Lian my mother gave me."
"I lack nothing."
At this moment, Qian Renxue's state of mind was elevated.
Above the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Immortal Official in charge of the Immortal Ascension Tribulation nodded slightly and then shook his head slightly upon seeing this.
"This mental tribulation is indeed difficult to handle. The current mental tribulations are too easy. No, I need to urge the Great Heavenly Venerable. It's more suitable for the Devil Dao to handle this mental tribulation. When can you send me a Devil Dao?"
At the same time, Qian Renxue faced her final tribulation of lightning.
During this tribulation of lightning, the scene before her eyes changed once more.
The wilderness was a desolate wasteland, littered with the corpses of Ferocious Beast, as well as the bodies of the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan.
The entire world was in a state of disorder.
Qian Renxue sensed no trace of a cultivator, only a chaotic disarray of the Dao and principles of the world.
This is something she can sense after becoming an immortal.
"Is this... the primordial Primordial World?"
Just as Qian Renxue realized this, she suddenly saw purple qi rising from the east for 30,000 miles, the entire world draped in gold, with flowers falling from the sky and Golden Lotuses Springing from the Earth.
A figure enveloped in golden light appeared in the Primordial World.
"Dao Ancestor?"
A title suddenly popped into Qian Renxue's mind, but she didn't know what it meant.
Then she seemed to hear a hallucination.
"I am Hong... Today I attain sainthood..."
A faint, ethereal voice, though its words were indistinct, seemed to bring the entire Primordial World to life after hearing them.
Qian Renxue saw countless Innate Being roaming the Primordial Continent, and she even caught a glimpse of the young Nuwa.
From that time onward, the order of heaven and earth was stabilized, the Dao and the principles were clarified, leaving only a complete Great Dao.
From this point on, all living beings in the Primordial World had a path forward, and the era of great competition for immortality began.
"The Great Dao of Immortality?"
This is the only complete Great Dao in the Primordial World. It can be said that the entire Primordial World can only cultivate this Great Dao. Qian Renxue still had questions, but she kept them in her heart.
Then she saw two great battles, one at sea.
Those Daluo Golden Immortal and Quasi-Saint, whom she wouldn't even dare to dream of, fell like raindrops.
Then she saw demons descend from the sky and witches rise from the earth, and a great war that would Primordial World began.
Even the sky was breached, but at that moment, a figure appeared, stopping the two races, while another figure began to Mending the Heavens.
Qian Renxue knew in her heart that this was another perspective on Nuwa Mending the Heavens.
"Was the one who stopped the war between the two races the Great Heavenly Venerable?"
Then Qian Renxue saw the witch enter the Underworld led by a woman, while the demons settled in the northern part of the Primordial World.
Finally, she saw the Seven Primordial World Saints soaring into the sky.
Above the Seven Sages was the Dao Ancestor; below the Seven Sages was the Witch Clan who controlled the Six Paths, and the Primordial World became complete.
Gulp
Qian Renxue swallowed hard, because she realized a terrible truth.
"The Sage are not the strongest in the Primordial World. Primordial World is also a Dao Ancestor laid the foundation for cultivation in the Primordial World and is the master of the Seven Sages."
It can be said that the Dao Ancestor laid down the rules during the Primordial World era, which is why the Primordial World was full of people cultivating immortality at that time.
If it had been a demon cultivator who set the rules back then, the Primordial World would surely be a completely different place today.
Qian Renxue dared not think any further.
"Xuanmen."
Qian Renxue thought of the Xuanmen mentioned by the Douluo Star Will Xuanmen.
"The Dao Ancestor founded the Xuanmen, so all cultivation sects like the Human Religion belong to the Xuanmen lineage. Is this the true Primordial World lineage of the primordial world?"
Immediately afterwards, Qian Renxue saw one immortal figure after another rise up, densely packed below the Seven Sages.
Qian Renxue suddenly woke up, realizing that she had somehow ended up in the middle of it all.
"Are these all the immortals who Primordial World immortals throughout history?"
Will future generations be able to see me too?
