Fire Tribulation, Meridian-Stabilizing Rune

A slight silence fell over the hall.

"Sect Leader, isn't this too fast?" Ding Qifeng spoke first, frowning.

"How long has it been since the Wind Tribulation? The Fire Tribulation is the second of the three tribulations, burning the heart and refining the internal organs, extremely dangerous. Should we spend another six months honing it to solidify it?"

"I can't wait." Li Yunjing shook his head.

"The God-Slaying Tribulation drawing ever closer. Every bit of strength I gain increases my chances of success. My Dao Foundation Stabilization; there's no problem."

The group exchanged glances, all seeing the worry in each other's eyes, but also knowing that Li Yunjing's mind was made up.

Once he has made up his mind, no amount of persuasion from outsiders will work.

And over the years, Li Yunjing has never made a wrong decision.

"Then I'll make the arrangements immediately," Mo Xuan said, bowing.

"The cultivation room is running at full capacity, and all the top-grade meridian-protecting pills and soul-stabilizing pills are ready. The Gods' Hall is also on standby, ready to provide support if necessary."

Li Yunjing waved his hand. "No need. Tribulation Transcendence depends on oneself. External intervention will only affect one's foundation. Just guard the sect and prevent anyone from causing trouble."

"Understood," Mo Xuan nodded.

After the meeting, everyone dispersed to make their own preparations.

Li Yunjing remained alone, pondering the matter of transcending the Fire Tribulation.

Suddenly, the Divine Seal of Creation appeared on its own initiative.

Li Yunjing snapped out of his daze and quickly stood up, "Senior Divine Seal."

The spirit of the Divine Seal of Creation quickly spoke, "Yes, this immortal body is for giving you something."

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, and the next moment he saw a golden rune fly out from the void.

Li Yunjing quickly caught it with his hand, and the spirit of the Divine Seal of Creation explained, "This is Meridian-Stabilizing Rune, which can use the power of the earth's veins to form a barrier, further weakening the Tribulation Power."

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes. "There's such a thing?"

"Nature, the wonders of heaven and earth far exceed our imagination," the spirit said.

"With this item, you'll have a greater chance of surviving the Fire Tribulation. Furthermore, if you inscribe this rune at the ley line nodes in this state, the entire state's ley line barrier will be strengthened, which will also weaken the Tribulation Power."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing immediately said, "I will arrange for someone to inscribe the runes right away."

The spirit didn't say anything, but immediately disappeared before Li Yunjing's eyes.

After thinking for a while, Li Yunjing summoned the gods Wangshu, Primordial Lord Bi Shui, and others, and asked them to inscribe runes at the Luozhen Province.

Three days later, everything was ready.

Dressed in a blue robe, Li Yunjing once again stepped into the cultivation room on the back mountain.

The stone door slowly closed behind him, and the hall was filled with Spiritual Qi energy, with the power of the earth's veins surging gently.

Li Yunjing walked cross-legged to the jade bed, closed his eyes, Spirit Concentration.

The Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture full speed, and the spiritual power within his body surged like boiling flames, crashing against the barrier of the Tribulation Transcendence Second Stage Realm.

Time passed slowly, and after Li Yunjing went into seclusion, there was no further news.

On the seventh day of Li Yunjing's seclusion, the envoy of the Immortal Alliance arrived at the Luozhen Sect.

This time, it wasn't an ordinary steward who came, but Su Yu, the head of the Immortal Alliance's External Affairs Hall and also Wang Heng's junior brother.

Since Li Yunjing was in seclusion, Mo Xuan was sent to receive him.

Mo Xuan hurriedly entered the Luozhen Grand Hall.

"Chief Su has come from afar; I am sorry for not welcoming you sooner," Mo Xuan said with a cupped-hands bow and a smile.

"Elder Mo Xuan, you're too kind," Su Yu returned the greeting, his expression somewhat solemn.

"I've come on the orders of the Alliance Leader to deliver an urgent message to Sect Leader Li and to discuss important matters."

"Our sect leader is currently in seclusion undergoing his Fire Tribulation and is temporarily unable to receive guests," Mo Xuan said. "Chief Su has anything to say, you can tell me."

"Sect Leader Li is undergoing Fire Tribulation?" Su Yu was startled, then gave a bitter smile.

"Sect Leader Li's cultivation speed is truly beyond our reach."

He composed himself and said seriously, "It's like this. Recently, another incident has occurred. In the Northern Province, two more small sects have been destroyed. The two Middle God they relied on went berserk, resulting in countless deaths and injuries."

News of deities falling from grace is increasing. According to incomplete statistics, at least twenty deities have disappeared without a trace in the past month.

"The alliance leader felt that they could no longer fight individually. He planned to convene the Tianyuan Dao Realm Assembly at the Immortal Alliance headquarters in ten days, inviting all major sects and forces to participate and jointly discuss the grand plan to counter the God-Slaying Tribulation."

"Since Sect Leader Li Sect Leader Li is one of the Three Sovereigns of the Immortal Alliance, he must be present."

After hearing this, Mo Xuan's expression also became serious.

Twenty deities vanished without a trace in a month; the mortality rate is far too high.

"Don't worry, Chief Su. I'll report to the Sect Leader as soon as he emerges from seclusion," Mo Xuan said. "The Sect Leader should agree to the Alliance Leader's proposal."

Su Yu a sigh of relief, "That's good. Oh, right, there's one more thing. The Alliance Leader asked me to inquire why the Tribulation Qi of the God-Slaying Tribulation seems to be so scarce in Luozhen Province."

Mo Xuan smiled and said, "It's alright to tell Chief Su. It's because our sect has built Gods' Hall, and with the help of the Gods' Hall and the earth's vein barrier..."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu's eyes lit up immediately. "Could you show me these things?"

Mo Xuan pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Since Chief Su is interested, I can take you to see it."

"That's great!" Su Yu's eyes lit up.

He actually had another mission this time: to probe the strength of the Luozhen Sect.

After all, as the time for the God-Slaying Tribulation to erupt draws ever closer, the other Five Provinces have already been affected by the Tribulation Power.

In contrast, the impact on Luozhen Province was minimal, which is quite puzzling.

If the Luozhen Sect has any trump cards up its sleeve, the Immortal Alliance hopes that the Luozhen Sect can share them to help the other states.

Soon, Mo Xuan took Su Yu to the Gods' Hall.

Arriving Gods' Hall, feeling the noticeably thinner Tribulation Qi and the gentle Daoist energy emanating from within, Su Yu was completely convinced.

"It's unbelievable that the Tribulation Power can't even cause a stir here!" he exclaimed repeatedly.

"I will definitely report this truthfully to the Alliance Leader when I return. The Luozhen Sect possesses such a divine artifact is truly a blessing to the Dao Realm."

After spending a day at Luozhen Mountain, Su Yu hurriedly returned to Central Divine Province with the message to report back.

After Su Yu left, Mo Xuan went to the Luozhen Grand Hall alone.

At the Luozhen Grand Hall, the Divine Seal of Creation floats silently.

Mo Xuan's divine sense quietly probed out and communicated with the Divine Seal.

"Senior Spirit Master."

The Divine Seal trembled slightly, and the spirit's voice rang out. "What is it?"

Mo Xuan asked with a somewhat solemn tone, "This junior would like to know, what will happen if the God-Slaying Tribulation continues to develop in this way?"

The spirit was silent for a moment, then said, "At the current rate, in another half month, Lower God will die out, and within a month, most of the Middle God will also perish. When the outbreak occurs, even the Higher God will find it difficult to survive."

"That serious?" Mo Xuan was very surprised.

The spirit said, "Your senior brother's last Tribulation Transcendence was like flipping the switch on the Tribulation Power ahead of time. The Tribulation Power was released early, so it was more intense in the early stages."

"But it's not all bad; releasing it all at once beforehand will weaken the power of the final burst by two or three points."

Mo Xuan remained silent. Two or three points might not sound like much, but they could potentially save countless lives.

"Is there any way to further weaken the Tribulation Power and protect mortals?" he asked again.

The spirit said, "Of course. Stabilizing the earth's veins and uniting people's hearts, the stronger the power of faith, the weaker the Tribulation Power. Your Luozhen Province has done a good job. People are united, the earth's veins are stable, and the Totem Hall and the Gods' Hall further strengthen faith. The Tribulation Power here is 30% weaker than elsewhere."
