"Good! Mingye, you're right to think this way."
We'll start preparing now. The location for the tribulation will be the same as A Huo's, right there in the martial arts arena in the inner city.
The time for the tribulation is tentatively set for tomorrow morning at 7:00 AM. Don't worry, with me here, you won't be in danger.
Chen Mu patted his chest and smiled confidently.
Last time A Huo underwent his tribulation in Chen Village, Xiaozhi collected a lot of information about the Heavenly Tribulation. After analyzing and processing it over the past few days, he has found some clever ways to overcome the tribulation.
Although these methods have many limitations, they are guaranteed to ensure Mingye's safety, which is why he dared to make such a bold claim.
"Thanks!"
Mingye nodded without saying anything more, a hint of resentment flashing deep in his eyes.
This was the first time in over three years that Chen Mu had left alone for such a long time without her by his side. She felt a little annoyed, but she didn't know what she was angry about.
" A Mu, I've recently gained some new insights into Sword Dao. Let's take advantage of the time we have and go up into the sky for a match."
A Huo was extremely sensitive to sword intent. The moment he saw Chen Mu, he noticed that Chen Mu's aura had become stronger. His fighting spirit was immediately ignited, and he excitedly made a suggestion.
"Hmm... alright, you're right. My Divine Soul realm successfully broke through to the Solid Realm Sixth Layer a few days ago. My strength has increased significantly, so be prepared to get a beating! Haha..."
Chen Mu smiled smugly, thinking that fighting A Huo wouldn't waste much time, so he stepped off the ground and flew into the sky.
In the past few months, Chen Mu absorbed over a thousand Purple Soul Crystal by himself. If converted into Spirit Stone, that would be equivalent to dozens of sixth-grade Spirit Stone. That's why he was able to break through so quickly. This cultivation speed was practically achieved by throwing Spirit Stone at him.
"Readily!"
A Huo was overjoyed and stepped off the ground, instantly soaring into the sky to catch up with Chen Mu.
"Their heads, one was made of sword, the other of runes!"
If we wait for their brains to explode, we're destined to grow old alone.
Mingye watched helplessly as the two engaged in an excited battle in the air, recalling Chen Duo's advice to him.
"Damn it, do I really have to take the initiative myself?"
She gently rubbed her temples, a rare blush appearing on her usually cold and beautiful face.
In matters of the heart, she and Chen Mu are actually quite similar. This is not her area of expertise, and when faced with problems in areas she is not good at, she inevitably becomes anxious and indecisive.
In this respect, there is actually no difference between powerful cultivators and ordinary mortals.
The next day, Mingye meditated in the center of the square early in the morning, adjusting himself to his peak condition in preparation for the arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Chen Mu accompanied Mingye, setting up rune array flags around the plaza to assist Mingye in fighting against the Heavenly Tribulation.
" The Fate Dao of Talismans, the Four Pillars of Heaven, concealing the secrets of Heaven, arise!"
On the ground where Mingye was meditating, a huge Bagua pattern lit up. This Bagua pattern was the Four Pillars Reaching Heaven Talisman in the Fate Dao of Talismans that Chen Mu cultivated.
The Four Pillars Reaching Heaven Talisman uses the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, along with the year, month, day, and hour of the person's birth, to derive the four fundamental pillars: the year pillar, month pillar, day pillar, and hour pillar, which in turn influence a person's destiny.
This talisman is extremely profound; it can obscure the secrets of heaven and, to a certain extent, influence the judgment of the Heavenly Dao.
In fact, there are similar Four Pillars of Destiny systems on Earth, but on Earth they are considered metaphysics.
However, on the Pan Emperor Continent, the Four Pillars Reaching Heaven Talisman is a genuine talisman technique.
The Fate Dao of Talismans is extremely difficult. If Chen Mu hadn't developed a program to crack the Fate Law, he probably wouldn't have even been able to get started, let alone reach the point where he's almost at the minor completion stage.
In the eyes of ordinary people, fate may be considered part of metaphysics, but in fact, science has never denied the existence of fate.
In mechanistic theory, once a stone is thrown, its fate is determined from the moment it is thrown, even before it lands, by external factors such as force, wind speed, angle, and air humidity.
Therefore, from a scientific perspective, fate is also real. As long as you can fully grasp the laws governing the development of things, you can calculate your future fate.
However, in theory, there shouldn't be anyone in this world who has a complete grasp of the laws governing all things. If such a person truly existed, then he would be the very essence of the Heavenly Dao itself.
Although one cannot have complete control over one's destiny, as long as one can roughly know the direction of destiny, one can, to a certain extent, break free from the control of destiny. This is the significance of cultivating the Fate Dao of Talismans.
After Chen Mu activated the Four Pillars Reaching Heaven Talisman, Mingye didn't delay either. He clasped his hands together, and the Spiritual Power and Death Qi in his dantian began to surge violently.
"Condense!"
With a soft shout, a round, illusory image of a pill was formed within her dantian.
Within the dantian, half was a vibrant green and the other half Death Qi gray. The two forces intertwined continuously until they gradually transformed into a yin-yang symbol, hanging in the very center of the dantian.
Boom!
In the sky, surging tribulation clouds began to roll, and in a short while, they turned the surrounding hundreds of miles into darkness, making the entire Chen Village look like it had entered the apocalypse.
"What's going on! How can this be even more terrifying than when I was undergoing the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation?"
Even Chen Mu was astonished by this sight.
Just then, an elderly man with a hunchback suddenly appeared beside Chen Mu.
The old man had white hair and beard, and his skin was unusually white. He leaned on a cane that was taller than himself, and stared with great interest at Mingye, who was sitting in the center of the square, clicking his tongue in amazement.
"Life and death alternate, yin and yang rotate. I never expected someone could actually refine the Yin-Yang Mystic Core. This is troublesome for the young girl!"
Chen Mu was startled by the old man, but he quickly recovered.
"Are you... Grandpa Turtle?"
He was so familiar with the White Turtle's aura that even though the White Turtle had completely changed, he could still recognize White Turtle at a glance.
"Hehe, Chen Mu, don't worry about me for now. Let's see your little sweetheart overcome her tribulation!"
The White Turtle gave a kind smile.
" Grandpa Turtle, do you know what this Heavenly Tribulation is all about?"
These days, White Turtle is often elusive, appearing and disappearing without a trace; even Chen Mu doesn't know where he's gone.
Unexpectedly, after so long, he has already regained the ability to transform into human form. It seems that his seal has been completely broken.
Your little lover is in trouble this time!
The Yin-Yang Mystic Core within her is too domineering and will bring unpredictable effects to the Heavenly Dao. The current Heavenly Dao probably will not allow such a being to be born in this world.
Therefore, what has descended this time is probably the legendary Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, a Heavenly Tribulation that annihilates everything, with virtually no chance of survival for ordinary cultivators.
