Emerging from Seclusion, Void Refinement Perfection
Originally, the undisputed number one among the younger generation was Senior Brother Chu Han, but now, with the return of Gu Xuan, the True Disciple, she has firmly secured her position as the number one among the younger generation with her Spirit Transformation Peak and the foundation of divine inheritance.
Some people were envious, some were amazed, and some were secretly competing with each other.
But everyone knew that the younger generation of the Luozhen Sect had gained another pillar.
Gu Lin verbally told his daughter to keep a low profile, but behind her back he would smile at everyone he met, even humming a tune while forging iron, which made the disciples of the Artifact Hall unable to help but laugh.
Everyone is waiting.
Waiting for the sect leader to emerge from seclusion.
Once the sect leader sees for himself what an amazing disciple the sect has produced.
On the seventh day after Gu Xuan's return, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred above the Sect Master's cave abode.
At first, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi slowly converged towards the main peak, like a trickle of water.
Soon, the trickle turned into a river, and a massive amount of Spiritual Qi surged in from all directions, forming a huge vortex of Spiritual Qi above the main peak.
At the center of the vortex, there was not only abundant Spiritual Qi, but also wisps of Daoist Principle. Five-colored spiritual light descended simultaneously with the moonlight and sunlight, illuminating the entire Sect Master's cave abode with vibrant colors.
What's going on? Is there another strange phenomenon?
"Could it be caused by Senior Sister Gu's inheritance?"
"Wait a minute, the direction leads to the sect leader's Seclusion Chamber!"
"..."
The disciples all looked up and began to discuss among themselves.
The elders were also alarmed. Mo Xuan, Fang Hexuan, and others rushed to the foot of the main peak of the sect leader. Looking up at the terrifying vortex of Spiritual Qi, their expressions were all moved.
"Is this aura a sign that the sect leader is about to emerge from seclusion?" Fang Tong stroked his beard, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"The Spiritual Qi vortex is so large, and it even contains the Principle and Dao rhythms. Has the sect leader broken through?" Gu Lin asked in a deep voice.
Mo Xuan's eyes were solemn, yet tinged with excitement. "It's more than just a breakthrough! Look, there's the aura of the Three Calamities within the Spiritual Qi vortex! This means your cultivation has reached the threshold of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!"
"Tribulation Transcendence?!" Everyone was shocked.
The sect leader was only at the Middle Void Refinement Stage when he went into seclusion half a year ago!
It's already amazing that someone could break through to the later stages in just six months. Could they possibly directly reach the threshold of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm?
To everyone's astonishment, the Spiritual Qi vortex reached its peak.
boom.
An invisible tremor resounded through everyone's soul.
The vortex suddenly contracted, pouring everything into the Seclusion Chamber.
The next moment, the stone door of the Seclusion Chamber slowly opened.
A figure in a green robe stepped out, his long hair tied up, his face handsome and refined. He exuded no aura of power, yet seemed to blend seamlessly with the world around him.
Every gesture he made carried a Daoist aura, inspiring awe in all who beheld him.
It was Li Yunjing.
"Sect Leader!"
Congratulations, Sect Leader, on your successful completion of seclusion!
The elders bowed deeply, their voices filled with heartfelt respect and joy.
Li Yunjing slightly raised his hand and said gently, "No need for formalities."
His gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Gu Xuan. He raised an eyebrow slightly. "This is Gu Xuan?"
Before he went into seclusion, Gu Xuan was still a young girl in the Golden Core Late Stage.
Standing there now, the moonlight around him was restrained, his cultivation had clearly reached the Spirit Transformation Peak, and his aura was extremely mysterious, carrying an ancient divine intent.
"Disciple Gu Xuan greets Sect Leader." Gu Xuan stepped forward and gave a graceful bow.
Mo Xuan quickly stepped forward and briefly reported to Li Yunjing about Gu Xuan obtaining the inheritance of the High Antiquity Moon God Inheritance.
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes, followed by a smile, "Excellent. The Moon God Inheritance is truly blessed. It is a great fortune for our Luozhen Sect to have a disciple like you."
"You flatter me, Sect Leader." Gu Xuan lowered her eyes slightly.
Li Yunjing carefully examined her, then nodded and said, "The inheritance is righteous, without any evil influence. You can focus on your cultivation. The sect will fully support you. If you need any resources or Cultivation Method, just tell the Grand Elder."
"Thank you, Sect Leader."
The crowd escorted Li Yunjing towards the Sect Grand Hall. Along the way, Mo Xuan continuously reported on the major and minor events of the past six months: the expansion of Luozhen Province, the sect's talent pool, the breakthroughs of the three Void Refinement Elders, the production of Fallen Star Ore, the expansion of the fleet...
Each and every case is clearly organized.
Li Yunjing listened attentively, nodding occasionally and interjecting with a question now and then.
After taking his seat in the main hall, Mo Xuan finally couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother, what is your current cultivation level...?"
All the elders in the hall pricked up their ears.
Li Yunjing said calmly, "Having reached the Void Refinement Perfection, you are only one step away from Tribulation Transcendence."
hiss.
A collective gasp filled the hall.
Void Refinement Perfection!
In just six months, he progressed from the Middle Void Refinement Stage, breaking through to the late stage, and finally reaching perfection.
This cultivation speed is terrifying!
It should be noted that it typically takes an ordinary cultivator at least several hundred years to progress from the Middle Void Refinement Stage.
Reaching perfection is even more difficult than ascending to heaven; many cultivators get stuck at this step and cannot cross it even when their lifespan runs out.
The sect leader, on the other hand, spent half a year in seclusion, skipped two levels, and directly touched the threshold of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
This can no longer be described as a prodigy; he's practically the darling of the Dao Realm.
"Sect Leader, your progress is too fast." Fang Tong smiled wryly, "I've lived for hundreds of years and only just Spirit Transformation Perfection. Compared to you, I've really wasted my life."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Li Yunjing smiled and said, "It's just that I've borrowed the power of the Dao Realm Origin and the sect's fortune to accumulate strength and unleash its power. Void Refinement Perfection is just the beginning; the real challenges are yet to come."
He paused, then explained to everyone, "The Tribulation Transcendence Realm is divided into three tribulations. The first tribulation is the Wind Tribulation, also known as the Gang Wind Marrow-Cleansing Tribulation of Gale Winds. Gale winds cleanse the physical body and soul from the outside in. Only by successfully passing through this tribulation can one truly step into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm."
"The second tribulation is the Fire Tribulation, named the Heart-Burning Viscera-Refining Fire. The flames arise from within the body, burning away impurities and tempering the internal organs, laying the foundation for an immortal body."
"The third tribulation is the Lightning Tribulation, named the Nine Heavens Immortal-Shaping Lightning. Heavenly lightning descends upon the world, reshaping the immortal body. Those who pass the Lightning Tribulation will possess an immortal body and become a Loose Immortal. At that time, they can draw Immortal Spirit Qi into their bodies and gradually progress until one day they can ascend to become an immortal."
Everyone in the hall listened intently, Spirit Concentration.
They had only heard scattered tales Tribulation Transcendence the three tribulations, and no one had ever explained them so systematically.
"Sect Leader, when do you plan to undergo the Wind Tribulation?" Mo Xuan asked in a deep voice.
"No rush." Li Yunjing shook his head. "Having just broken through, our foundation still needs to be honed and solidified. The Wind Tribulation is perilous, so the more thorough our preparations, the better. We can use this time to further sort out the affairs of the sect and Luozhen Province."
He had a premonition that the Wind Tribulation was only the beginning.
Once we enter the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, things probably won't be as peaceful as they are now.
The sect was filled with joy for the next few days.
The sect leader emerged from seclusion with a significant improvement in cultivation, and with the return of the divine disciple and the breakthrough of three elders, it was truly a quadruple celebration.
The overall strength of the Luozhen Sect has quietly reached a new level.
Many elders remarked that twenty years ago, who could have imagined that Luozhen Sect would be in such a state today?
But no one's joy lasted long.
That morning, an urgent report stained with blood was swiftly delivered from the western border to Luozhen City.
Mo Xuan opened the package and his expression changed drastically. He immediately took the urgent report and rushed to the sect leader 'Sect Master's cave abode on the main peak.
"Senior brother! Urgent report from the western border!"
Li Yunjing was in the hall deducing how to deal with the Wind Tribulation when he saw Mo Xuan's solemn expression. He took the urgent report and glanced at it.
The letter, written in hasty handwriting and stained with blood, was the handwriting of Zhi Qianshu, the chief of the Biyuan Tribe tribe.
"A personal message from Sect Leader Li: An unusual disturbance has erupted deep within the Great Wilderness, a beast tide ten times larger than before! Three sixth-tier beasts, over ten fifth-tier beasts, and what appears to be a seventh-tier beast have appeared. The tribe's defenses have been breached, suffering heavy casualties, and the mines are in imminent danger! We urgently request reinforcements!"
