Trials Overcome, Ascending to Reclaim the Immortal Position

"Hahaha... You've finally met your match! You bastard! I'll make you pay! I'll make you pay in blood!" Yin Xi looked at the man, his eyes filled with resentment and venom, and then he couldn't help but laugh loudly.

Upon hearing Yin Xi's words, the man trembled violently, then immediately knelt down and begged Yin Xi for forgiveness, saying, "Taishang Laojun! Please forgive me this time! I will never dare to do it again!"

"Hmph! Now you know fear? It's too late!" Yin Xi sneered, then walked step by step towards the man, her face becoming extremely ferocious, her eyes radiating a sinister light that sent chills down one's spine.

"What are you doing?" Upon seeing this, the man looked at Yin Xi nervously and shouted.

"Didn't you just make me suffer and torment? Now you can experience what I just did! I'm going to teach you a lesson!" As soon as the man finished speaking, he kicked out and struck the other man squarely in the stomach, sending him flying.

After being thrown through the air, the man crashed heavily to the ground, clutching his stomach and rolling around.

"Pfft..." The man couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"You bastard! I'm going to kill you!" After getting up, the man limped towards Yin Xi, intending to take the opportunity to ambush Yin Xi.

Upon seeing this, Yin Xi was so frightened that her face changed color, and she quickly took two steps back to avoid the man's attack.

Seeing this, the man snorted coldly and then lunged at Yin Xi again.

After the man lunged forward again, he slapped Yin Xi on the head.

Just as the man's palm was about to land on Yin Xi's head, suddenly, a short sword appeared out of thin air above the man's head and stabbed towards his forehead.

Upon seeing this, the man's face turned ashen. He had never expected that such a treasure was hidden on him, which made him feel like he had been tricked, and he was furious.

Despite his anger, he dared not confront the short sword head-on and quickly dodged to the side.

Seeing this, the man quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, it's my fault, it's my fault! I was truly blinded by greed and momentarily lost my mind, doing such a foolish thing! Please, Taishang Laojun, have mercy on me this time!"

Taishang Laojun gave a light snort and swept his whisk, "Considering this is your first offense, I will not pursue the matter further."

"Thank you for your Taishang Laojun!" Upon seeing this, the man quickly cupped his hands and bowed to Taishang Laojun, speaking sincerely.

"Hmm!" Taishang Laojun nodded upon hearing this.

"Taishang Laojun, did you... did you foresee this calamity that would befall me?" The man hesitated for a moment before finally mustering the courage to ask Taishang Laojun. His eyes were filled with doubt; he simply couldn't believe that Yin Xi could have foreseen his death.

Upon hearing this, Taishang Laojun smiled noncommittally and said, "I was just making a guess. In any case, your fate is sealed today. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, your destiny will not change. So just accept your death!"

Upon hearing this, the man couldn't help but show a bitter expression. However, he also knew that Taishang Laojun was right; he was doomed to die today.

The man took a deep breath, then looked at Taishang Laojun with deep resentment and sorrow in his eyes. He then slowly closed his eyes, seemingly accepting his punishment.

Taishang Laojun was discussing the Dao with his disciples when he suddenly opened his eyes.

The Lotus-Sitting Child seemed to have realized something. "Laojun, could it be the person prophesied by Heavenly Dao who has arrived?"

After calculating with his fingers, Taishang Laojun shook his head. "It seems someone has already given that disciple some pointers."

"Give me some pointers? Who?" the boy asked, puzzled.

Taishang Laojun said, "Naturally, it is that disciple's master. However, I cannot reveal this person's name, because that person's cultivation is too high, and my status is not suitable to tell him. Otherwise, I will face Heavenly Tribulation, and his cultivation is far above mine."

Upon hearing the words "Heavenly Tribulation," the boy's face turned deathly pale, and he immediately knelt down, pleading, "Please, Laojun, save my life!"

Taishang Laojun sighed, "Don't worry, I will protect you. Let me find that person before we deal with him."

The boy gratefully kowtowed several times before retreating.

Taishang Laojun sat cross-legged. "My Dao Fruit has been fully formed, and it's time to go there. I only hope that those things can help me overcome the Heavenly Tribulation!"

After Taishang Laojun had condensed his Dao Fruit, he left the Immortal Realm and flew towards the Primordial World.

On the other side, Tieguai Li continued forward, carrying his fortuitous opportunity.

Suddenly, Tieguai Li stopped and turned to look at a mountain peak on his right. "Why does this mountain peak look a bit strange?"

This mountain peak wasn't particularly high, but it was shrouded in a thick layer of blood mist. At the summit stood a giant rock covered with densely packed runes, giving it an eerie appearance.

"Could it be a formation?" Tieguai Li guessed.

However, upon closer observation, Tieguai Li discovered that the blood mist on the mountain peak was not aggressive at all. Moreover, he could sense that the blood mist contained a trace of life, but it was simply obscured by the blood mist and could not be felt.

"Perhaps it's just an ordinary mountain peak!" Tieguai Li thought to himself, then continued walking forward.

"Aww~!"

Suddenly, a tiger's roar came from afar, followed by a dragon's cry, and then a lion's roar.

Upon hearing this voice, Tieguai Li's face showed surprise.

The sound came from the mountain peak, and the dragon's roar and the lion's howl also came from that place, meaning that all three powerful auras originated from the same source.

"These three auras are all so strong, could they be the kings of the Demon Race?" Tieguai Li thought in shock, and then quickly flew towards them.

"Aww~!"

Another tiger roared, followed by a dragon's cry.

"Why does this voice sound so familiar? I feel like I've heard it somewhere before," Tieguai Li thought to himself.

"That voice sounds so familiar, it's like I've heard it before!"

"Aww~!"

The dragon's roar gradually faded away, leaving only a tiger's roar. This roar was even more powerful and resonant than the previous one, as if it pierced through the void and reached the heavens, shaking the nine heavens and echoing for a long time.

"What is that sound? It sounds familiar. Where have I heard it before?"
