Breaking Through to True Immortal! Wind Eagle Unlocked!
This was the might of the Three Calamities! They burned away life and destroyed the path of cultivation.
After a brief moment of surprise, Jiang Zhe grinned.
He was hardly panicking. The moment the flames appeared inside him, the Samadhi True Fire he had deliberately kept under control erupted completely. Like a father beating his son, it delivered a resounding slap, forcibly pinning down the newly born Yin Fire.
Immediately afterward, the Three Thousand Weak Water followed, wrapping around it like a water dragon before covering it completely.
The Divine Lightning of Creation became an enormously thick pillar of lightning and smashed it out!
The Yin Fire, the second calamity, had not even reached Jiang Zhe's legs before the three great forces within him swiftly wiped it out.
The Qi left by the Yin Fire became nourishment, which the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts used to temper his body again and again.
It made Jiang Zhe's flesh even tougher, and even gave it the burning effect of flames.
With an enormous boom!
The three forces returned to their places at once, and the barrier between Heavenly Immortal and True Immortal was blasted apart.
In that instant, the water, fire, and lightning that had accumulated within him for so long all broke free.
Like azure dragons that had been imprisoned for too long, they burst out of their cages together.
Almost unconsciously, Jiang Zhe raised his head. In the illusory space of his consciousness,
an enormous figure was slowly taking shape.
It was a dharma form clad in crimson armor. The flame patterns on the armor moved like living things, and a Flame Dragon reared its head and roared on its chest. Behind it were blades of flame shaped like crescent moons.
Flecks of lightning flashed across the armor on its forehead. Beneath its feet, a black rhinoceros stood with all four hooves planted in midair, silver-white water flowing over its horn. Wherever it passed, fine cracks spread through the void.
A fusion of all his current talents, flames, and water!
A brand-new dharma form combining the Flame Dragon Armor and the Black Rhino Star God.
A dharma form of his own.
[Current realm: True Immortal: 1%.]
The instant the panel appeared, Jiang Zhe was delighted, but then he suddenly felt a chill at the crown of his head.
It was a familiar feeling. The Yin Fire had just appeared in the same way at the Yongquan points on the soles of his feet.
But the progress bar had filled so quickly that even the Three Calamities had not had time to react.
Only after he had broken through to the True Immortal realm did the third calamity arrive.
Lightning Calamity, Fire Calamity, Wind Calamity-the last was unmistakably the Wind Calamity.
Bifeng Wind Calamity!
It blew in through the fontanelle at the crown of the head, through the internal organs and the dantian, and penetrated all nine orifices. Those who could not withstand it would have their bones and flesh wasted away, blown apart bit by bit.
Simply put, it was like osteoporosis.
But the result was far more terrifying than osteoporosis.
Before Jiang Zhe even had time to feel nervous, the cool wind blew in, soundless and shapeless, entering through the crown of his head and sweeping into his internal organs.
Wherever it passed, his flesh was worn thinner layer by layer, as if by sandpaper, and the gaps between his bones emitted a faint, teeth-grating sound.
It was the most insidious of the Three Calamities.
The Lightning Calamity struck at life, the Yin Fire burned the spirit, and the Bifeng blew at the very foundation of the body.
Flesh, sinew, and bone were no different from ordinary sand before it.
Fortunately, he cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, which tempered the very foundation of the body.
"No wonder so many cultivators survive the lightning and fire, only to fail to make it through the final wind," Jiang Zhe murmured. Immediately afterward, a cool breeze suddenly came from his chest.
It was not the cool wind of the Wind Calamity passing through his chest and abdomen.
It was...
[Wood-element Wind Eagle Qi detected! Wind Eagle Armor unlocking progress initiated]
Jiang Zhe smacked his lips. He had not even had time to savor what the so-called Wind Calamity felt like.
It had already been absorbed by the Wind Eagle Armor.
He had already set his Eight-Nine Arcane Arts in motion, ready to refine it at any moment.
Forget it, forget it. It doesn't matter anyway.
Coming back to his senses, Jiang Zhe resumed circulating the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, digesting the power of the Three Thousand Weak Water bit by bit.
Only when the progress bar reached eight percent was the power of the Three Thousand Weak Water fully refined and turned into a talent.
He breathed out a mouthful of turbid Qi. Next came the corrosive venom and the Yellow Springs Water.
One was Weak Water from the heavens; the other was Yellow Springs Water from the earth.
Though it was not the source water of the Yellow Springs, it still possessed enough power to suppress all things sinister and evil!
Weak Water corroded and dissolved flesh, primordial spirits, and magic power!
Yellow Springs Water was much simpler: as long as it was a soul, it fell under its control.
It was just that simple and pure. With the support of Weak Water and Yellow Springs Water, and as his mastery of the corrosive venom grew, Jiang Zhe could even merge all three waters into it and let Joyful Boy experience all three at once.
By the time all the water he had extracted had been absorbed into it, Jiang Zhe's cultivation progress had reached eleven percent.
Neither the Yellow Springs Water nor the corrosive venom could compare to the Three Thousand Weak Water in power, though that was only natural. The Three Thousand Weak Water was one of the ten great divine waters, after all.
There were not many things that could rival it in the first place.
Samadhi True Fire was one of them.
Speaking of which, Yang Jian should have arrived by now, shouldn't he?
Jiang Zhe looked in the direction of the Third Holy Mother's temple. A whole night had passed, and given how obsessed Yang Jian was with his sister, he had probably come the moment he received word.
Raising his head, Jiang Zhe looked in the direction Weaver Girl had left, sinking into thought.
Wait, that's not right! Normally, shouldn't advancing to a new realm bring a lightning tribulation?
How come I still haven't had one?
The primordial chaos creation divine lightning was not a lightning tribulation, but a lightning punishment.
Could it be... the fate with untraceable karma that the system mentioned?
Could this karma be keeping even the Heavenly Dao from finding me, so it can't strike me even if it wants to?
The more Jiang Zhe thought about it, the more convinced he became. After all, even a lightning tribulation could not find him.
When others cultivated immortality, they either followed the heavens or defied them.
He, on the other hand, had shut the heavens out altogether.
Does this count as a transmigrator's unconventional golden finger?
On top of that, the secrets of heaven were now in chaos. As long as he was not caught in the act of doing something bad, basically no one would be able to track him down afterward.
If that's really the case, that's wonderful.
It would give him plenty of chances to develop.
Closing his eyes again, Jiang Zhe summoned his divine sense and made contact with the pitch-black stream in his soul!
After binding a star, one could comprehend the special abilities it contained.
For example, using starlight, moonlight, and flowing rosy clouds as threads to weave the celestial canopy and clouds.
Whether dawn clouds, sunset clouds, colorful clouds, or mist, all were brocade on her loom.
She also possessed the Star Shuttle, a treasure that only the star lord of the Weaver Girl Star could wield.
Besides that, because she had become the star god of the Weaver Girl Star, temples had been built for her in the mortal world.
She had indirectly gained authority over mortal craftsmanship and wisdom, as well as fruit harvests. Weaver Girl could also have a hand in marriage and the protection of children.
All in all, with incense offerings and temples, those who became star lords were generally fairly well-known deities.
