Golden Immortal!
Transcending the limitations of the world, no longer confined to the dimensional limitations of a particular world, by merging with the Dao Merging, one can initially achieve the preliminary eternity of "the Great Dao is imperishable, and I am Eternity!"
Once this limit is crossed, one becomes the Great Dao itself, and cannot be killed in a single blow. The only way to completely end it is by obliterating the Great Dao.
This is why Xu Xiao is so determined to ascend to the Golden Immortal as soon as possible, because only in this way can he avoid being instantly killed by powerful beings Tathagata Guanyin and Tathagata.
If Heavenly Immortal represent the limit for ordinary cultivators, then Golden Immortal are the basic entry ticket to becoming a powerful being!
Only by embodying the Great Dao can one attain Eternity existence and the qualification to continue moving forward!
A strong Power of Variables gathered around Xu Xiao. Although he was confident that he could overcome the Golden Immortal Tribulation, he still wanted to take a precaution.
" By Reverse Effect into Cause, all variables are in my hands! By decree!"
The Power of Variables vanished almost instantly, and then a mysterious law emerged from Xu Xiao's body. His aura surged instantly, and a phantom Great Dao shone behind him.
Golden Immortal Dao Fruit!
Although it was merely a matter of using the Power of Variables to forcibly reverse cause and effect, bringing it to the surface, it is still quite incredible.
He didn't pass the Golden Immortal Tribulation, nor did he Dao Merging, yet the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit appeared—this was something that almost broke the rules.
The Golden Immortal Dao Fruit appeared illusory, but its appearance immediately disrupted and altered the causal threads permeating the side hall, preventing them from connecting with Xu Xiao and demonstrating its extraordinary effect.
The Dao Fruit condensed by Reversing the Dao of Cause and Effect means that even Sage could no longer foresee everything about Xu Xiao at this moment.
However, because Xu Xiao has not yet passed the Golden Immortal Tribulation, the Dao Fruit is only hanging behind Xu Xiao and is still a little short of merging into Xu Xiao body.
'As expected, I am destined to survive the Golden Immortal Tribulation!'
Xu Xiao smiled slightly, which reassured him.
The Golden Immortal Tribulation is the last tribulation encountered by cultivators. The subsequent Daluo, Hunyuan, and Wuji are all advancements in the Great Dao realm, not essential sublimations, and therefore there are no tribulations for them.
The Golden Immortal Tribulation is unique in that it represents a truly heaven-defying step taken by all cultivators. Taking this step makes one a rare and powerful being in the world!
Therefore, the Golden Immortal Tribulation is also the most severe tribulation, divided into external tribulation and internal tribulation!
"Boom!!"
It's here!
Xu Xiao sat upright in the side hall, already hearing the sounds of the Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation outside.
It's hard to imagine that one day, in the Thirty-Three Heavens, there would be such a scene of lightning tribulation.
Laojun sat in his alchemy room, intently guarding the cauldron before him. Hearing the thunder, he couldn't help but smile.
"This child is truly blessed with extraordinary fortune. In just a few decades, he has advanced from Heavenly Immortal to Golden Immortal, and with this rare Dao principle, he is truly..."
Laojun subconsciously wanted to calculate Xu Xiao's karma, but there was no trace of it.
Logically speaking, even if a time traveler is an existence that transcends cause and effect and destiny, powerful beings associated with him can still deduce some cause and effect based on their past experiences, not to mention that Laojun's identity is extremely special.
Unfortunately, even with Laojun's full power, he couldn't find a trace of causal connection between himself and Xu Xiao this time, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Alright, it seems this little guy has made it. There's no need to worry about him anymore. He'll take care of himself from now on."
Laojun smiled, then continued to concentrate on refining elixirs, no longer caring about anything else.
A bolt of deep purple lightning struck down from the sky above the Thirty-Three Heavens, completely ignoring the magic array of the Tushita Palace.
Its momentum was so great that it seemed it would Oblivion the side hall where the target was located in one fell swoop.
As the lightning struck, Xu Xiao, who was sitting calmly in the side hall, did not even raise his head, letting it hit him.
A Immortal Power rippled around him, and the lightning bolt that struck him silently lost most of its power. It then struck Xu Xiao but was blocked by the Immortal Power.
The Heavenly Dao Thunder was directly reversed by Xu Xiao using the Dao of Reversal, transferring its power to the vast future, leaving it for his future self.
"Although this Heavenly Dao Tribulation is powerful, I reversed the outcome, allowing its power to be borne by me after I attained Golden Immortal, so its power is negligible."
Although the Heavenly Dao Thunder is powerful, its purpose was to prevent Xu Xiao from passing the Golden Immortal Tribulation.
Xu Xiao directly reversed this cause and effect, allowing his future self to bear the attack. Although it couldn't be completely transferred, the weakened version was much easier to resist.
"It's just a bit tough on my future self, having to get struck by lightning every now and then. But having survived the Golden Immortal Tribulation, this kind of lightning shouldn't be a big deal for me, right?"
"However, it's still not strong enough. If I could reverse cause and effect and attain the Daluo Dao Fruit, then I could directly reverse the Heavenly Dao lightning that was locking onto me."
Xu Xiao sat in the side hall, sensing the Heavenly Dao Tribulation and familiarizing himself with the power of the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.
It was through this Dao Fruit, which he had reversed, that he was able to unleash a level of Dao Reversal far exceeding his current level, allowing him to Tribulation Transcendence as if nothing had happened.
It's like receiving a perfect score on a test paper before even entering the exam room—it's incredibly simple.
Moreover, being familiar with the Immortal Power Dao Fruit now will make it easier for him to adapt to his own power immediately after advancing to the Golden Immortal.
The thunder in the sky never stopped, each bolt more powerful than the last, but unfortunately, none of them could harm Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiao stopped paying attention to the heavenly lightning and began to deal with other tribulations.
First, there are the external calamities that arrive one after the thunder, including the invasion of Yin and Yang energies, the howling winds that corrode the bones, the scorching fires that blaze, and the soaking waters that penetrate the skin.
These calamities are different kinds of disasters belonging to the calamities of heaven and earth. Fortunately, they are all external calamities, and their cause and effect can be reversed, with a portion of their power being transferred to future time and space.
With his Immortal Power surging, Xu Xiao could not completely ignore the external tribulation's intrusion, but he could still put up a fight against it.
What truly made him take it seriously was the internal tribulation manifested by his own various manifestations!
For example, inner demons arise from above, consciousness becomes fragmented, and karmic backlash occurs, etc.
Since he began cultivating, Xu Xiao had been able to easily overcome tribulations like inner demons because he had previously wielded the Power of Desire.
But now, Xu Xiao has long since stripped himself of the Dao of Desire. All his insights and understandings are now tied to the Dao fruit that Xu Xuanpin nurtured in the DC Universe. This is the first time Xu Xiao has experienced the power of his inner demons.
A strong emotional backlash arose from within the body, attempting to seize control from Xu Xiao's main consciousness, but fortunately, Xu Xiao suppressed it.
"Even without the Dao of Desire, since I was able to cultivate the Dao of Desire, my Dao heart has already been tempered to be free from all desires!"
Xu Xiao forced himself to endure the torment of his inner demons, feeling a little smug.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, let alone him. The Dao of Desire was divided and given entirely to Xu Xuanpin, but his Dao heart had already been tempered and made resilient before.
However, a soft laugh sent a jolt through him.
"Really? Is that really the case? Are you sure you've convinced me?"
Xu Xiao was shocked. The inner demon was intertwined with cause and effect, and some other things exerted their power, directly overwhelming Xu Xiao's main consciousness.
