"Now that's more interesting!"
Xu Xiao was bathed in lightning, completely withstanding the tribulation of lightning that cultivators feared with their bare bodies.
This Heavenly Immortal Lightning Tribulation the number six and nine, is Heavenly Dao Divine Lightning used exclusively to temper those who cultivate Heavenly Dao, and it is most effective at suppressing Magic Power and supernatural abilities.
Ordinary people Tribulation Transcendence either have all the necessary magical treasures and elixirs or rely on supernatural powers for protection; few, like Xu Xiao, withstand it with their bare bodies.
Fortunately, Xu Xiao was inside the Zhenwu Daoist Sanctuary, where others couldn't see him; otherwise, this action alone would have drawn attention.
Xu Xiao, who was bathed in lightning, was not only unharmed but also felt a sense of comfort.
The Magic Power within his body, under the baptism of the thunderous power, gradually acquired a strange and unique flavor.
Along with his true spirit and his physical body, which he had condensed for an unknown period of time, the lightning strikes further fused with his own Dao principles.
"Heh! It seems there's more to this tribulation than meets the eye."
"It's not just a punishment; it also has benefits. The tribulation of lightning can help cultivators cleanse their bodies of impurities and deepen the fusion between their magical Magic Power and the Dao principles, allowing their Magic Power to carry a trace of their own Dao principles."
Xu Xiao pondered carefully and realized that the Heavenly Immortal Lightning Tribulation wasn't as terrifying as the rumors suggested.
Heavenly Dao Divine Lightning is nine parts destruction, but contains one part life; it is both a test and a blessing.
For those who are fortunate enough to ascend to the realm of Heavenly Immortal, this Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation is a great calamity that will destroy their body and soul; if they cannot overcome it, they will die and their cultivation will be extinguished.
For those who truly possess genuine abilities and pass the test, the Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation primarily saves them the time of organizing their Magic Power.
Having survived this Heavenly Immortal Tribulation, their mortal bodies transformed into immortal bodies, and their cultivation Magic Power became supreme Immortal Power.
He completely transformed from an ordinary mortal into an immortal, becoming utterly transcendent and free to roam the world.
Having understood the benefits of the lightning tribulation, Xu Xiao no longer had any other plans, and even abandoned his previous idea of using the Power of Variables to distort the lightning tribulation.
It simply stood silently amidst the tribulation lightning, letting the crimson divine lightning continuously fall from the tribulation clouds.
One after another!
As soon as the previous bolt of lightning struck, the next bolt followed without hesitation, striking Xu Xiao hard on the head.
Despite being bathed in countless bolts of lightning, Xu Xiao remained unmoved.
This caused everyone watching from the Zhenwu Daoist Sanctuary to gasp in amazement.
"This martial uncle is truly a divine being!"
"At first, I thought he was just lucky to have become a fellow disciple of the Emperor because of his low cultivation level."
"Now it seems that my uncle is indeed very capable; his physical body alone can withstand the Six-Nine Lightning Tribulation."
"Besides the Gods of the Thunder Department specialize in thunder magic and those few great gods who have cultivated physical supernatural powers, how many others in the Heavenly Court can do that?"
"Truly, a true master rarely reveals his true form; when he does, he is undoubtedly True Immortal!"
The crowd in the dojo gasped in astonishment, having gained a direct understanding of Xu Xiao's power. Even Zhenwu in the main hall stopped focusing on the Daoist scriptures and looked at the figure in the lightning.
"Indeed, one can withstand the Three Calamities Lightning Tribulation while at the Heavenly Immortal level, without using any supernatural powers or treasures, relying solely on their physical body and Magic Power."
"My junior brother is quite capable!"
"If I were to cultivate some Douzhan supernatural abilities, perhaps I could Douzhan against Golden Immortal as Heavenly Immortal and become a Heavenly Court general."
The Great Emperor Zhenwu smiled, looking at Xu Xiao with renewed respect.
Such a display of enduring tribulation lightning is usually something only immortals and gods who specialize in Douzhan can achieve. It seems that my junior brother does have some skill.
The claim that he could fight against Golden Immortal was not an exaggeration, but rather Zhenwu's assessment of Xu Xiao's performance, which was an extremely high evaluation.
Of course, the Golden Immortal here are not the Daluo Golden Immortal, but ordinary Golden Immortal, similar to those beings that Xu Xiao had previously encountered who had just transcended the multiverse.
This is completely different from being like Great Emperor Zhenwu, who has already attained the Daluo Fruit.
Although Daluo Golden Immortal is still Golden Immortal, the two are worlds apart. The Daluo represents Eternity freedom across all time and space, and is omnipresent.
It is an existence that transcends the multiverse, capable of extending its influence beyond its own world and creating countless myths in other worlds.
The being capable of gathering countless dimensions and unifying them to attain enlightenment is Daluo Golden Immortal!
As for going a step further, one needs to see the past, present, and future of all time and space as Hunyuan whole, without any obstruction; that is the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
Above that are the Sage, namely the Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Golden Immortal!
To be precise, above the Heavenly Immortal, there is only the title of Golden Immortal, but the difference between Golden Immortal Golden Immortal is greater than the difference between the universe and bacteria.
At that point, all titles and classifications of realms are meaningless; only the development of one's own Great Dao can prove one's existence.
Thunder roared incessantly outside the hall, and Heavenly Dao Divine Lightning continuously refined Xu Xiao's Magic Power, gradually elevating its essence.
This is a more profound ascension process than simply condensing a divine essence and forging a divine position from a mortal. Xu Xiao slowly came to understand the mysteries within.
One's own Dao principles, Magic Power, physical body, and understanding of the universe and the ultimate truth of the Great Dao are gradually deepened in this process.
Until the clouds of tribulation in the sky gradually faded, the Six-Nine Lightning Tribulation fell silently one by one.
Xu Xiao had already changed from standing to sitting upright, and began to cultivate in the open space of the hall with his eyes closed.
The profound Daoist aura and Heavenly Immortal cultivation were clearly evident, adding another Heavenly Immortal to the Three Pure Ones sect.
Seeing this, the Great Emperor Zhenwu waved his hand and activated the formation of the Mount Wudang Daoist temple the moment the lightning tribulation dissipated, isolating the inside from the outside and preventing outsiders from spying.
Many cultivators who wanted to come forward to congratulate or inquire about the situation after the tribulation dissipated were met with a cold shoulder; all they could hear was a voice emanating from within the formation:
"Fellow Daoists, please excuse us for the time being. The Mount Wudang Daoist center is temporarily closed and all visitors are not permitted."
"This... this is the voice of the Sovereign Lord Zhenwu! The Sovereign Lord Zhenwu personally sealed off the mountain; it seems the person Tribulation Transcendence is no ordinary individual!"
Upon hearing Zhenwu's message, several cultivators immediately stopped in their tracks and offered a Daoist salute to the Mount Wudang Daoist temple from afar, as a way of congratulating the person Tribulation Transcendence.
Some, unwilling to give up, or believing they could speak with Zhenwu, couldn't help but speak up:
"Your Majesty, may I ask which fellow Daoist is undergoing this Tribulation Transcendence? We may also..."
"What you need to know, you already know; what you shouldn't know, you have no right to know. Go!"
"Your Majesty..."
"Roll!"
A fierce shout accompanied by boundless Kamui descended, scaring those ungrateful or arrogant fools into fleeing in terror.
The reputation of Great Emperor Zhenwu is not only known among evil and heretical people; in the eyes of cultivators, he is also an unparalleled god in Douzhan.
It's important to know that this person's divine status and revered reputation were earned step by step through slaying demons and monsters, exorcising evil spirits and vanquishing monsters.
As I said before, those who are qualified to know about those Tribulation Transcendence know without needing to be told.
As for the rest, asking around is useless; if you don't listen to instructions, you'll be annihilated, body and soul.
