What the Three Schools Had in Common

The dragon clan's surname is Ao, not Ao, and Ao Sheng feels he can't endure it.

He didn't know what methods the Yuanshi Celestial Venerable had used to make him trigger the Heavenly Tribulation of the Demon Race.

The cultivation of Demon Race is different. To enter the Divine Ability Realm, one needs to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation; to enter the Sole Self Realm, one needs to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation; and to enter the True Self Realm, one needs to undergo another Heavenly Tribulation.

When Ao Sheng entered the Divine Ability Realm, he was tormented by the Heavenly Tribulation, his skin torn and his body deformed. It was an unbearably painful memory for him.

He wasn't originally handsome, but Ao Sheng absolutely refused to admit that he was ugly, and after the Heavenly Tribulation, he almost came to agree with that view.

Although he was unwilling to accept it, Ao Sheng could see his own face by looking at his reflection in the seawater.

His appearance was indeed not good, but now it seems that his appearance is recovering.

But this recovery brought Ao Sheng no joy whatsoever; he was undergoing a tribulation, and his good looks could not offer him any help.

Thunder rumbled across the sky, followed by bursts of flame.

This is the Thunder and Fire Tribulation recorded in the Demon Race's records.

Before this, it was clearly just the kind of overwhelming fire that Yuanshi Tianzun used to block the Mohists's mechanical city, but in a short time, it turned into Ao Sheng's tribulation.

Golden lightning struck his body, and Ao Sheng felt as if his entire body had been electrocuted, leaving him paralyzed on one side.

The falling heavenly fire caused his scales to burn.

"Water!"

Ao Sheng twisted his body wildly, and the water he hadn't finished spitting out from his mouth leaked out, instantly creating a curtain of water in the sky.

"Use your strength, you wicked dragon! Although this was left behind to plug the leak, its power is no less than that of the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!"

Pinned in mid-air, Ao Sheng began to fight desperately, but Yuanshi Tianzun was clearly not too satisfied with this shelter from the wind and rain.

If he had other options, he wouldn't have had to throw a dragon at someone else to plug the leak.

But for now, it's just something to make do with.

Instead of trying to block it, it's better to guide it. Even the Yuanshi Celestial Venerable could hardly withstand the wave after wave of explosive impacts from the Mohists's Mechanical City.

After his Qingyun Technique was breached, he was injured but also felt somewhat relieved, knowing that releasing some of the Calamity Fire into the secret realm might achieve a delicate balance.

Of course, the Yuanshi Celestial Lord was also unwilling for these calamity-inducing substances to leak into various parts of the secret realm or for himself to suffer the consequences, so he chose Ao Sheng to block them.

"That foreign object is so dangerous! I wonder what the outer heavens are like that could have given birth to such a wondrous thing!"

The Yuanshi Celestial Venerable murmured softly.

There's no problem with the Mohists's Mechanical City being destroyed along with the Zixiao Palace secret realm; the only requirement is that the explosion occurs inside the Zixiao Palace secret realm, and not outside.

Not to mention that the Zixiao Palace secret realm could not withstand such an explosion, even the Immortal Court secret realm, the Kunlun secret realm, or the vast mortal territory of Chang'an City could not withstand such an explosion. Any of these places that were affected would be destroyed.

The power of the explosion was so immense that even the Yuanshi Celestial Venerable could only be thankful that it occurred deep in the sea; otherwise, the casualties would have far exceeded those of the single dragon demon.

His face flushed, and he too took a pill.

"Lingbao's Life-Creating Pill has limited effects and is unlikely to be of much use to me. I still need the Three Lights Divine Water to heal my injuries!"

After swallowing a pill, Yuanshi Tianzun flipped through his sleeve and took out an eight-treasure glass bottle inlaid with stone chimes, silver ingots, pearls, coral, ancient coins, ruyi scepters, rhinoceros horns, and conch shells.

The eight-treasure glass bottle is inlaid with eight objects and has three openings.

One spout poured out golden liquid, another poured out silver liquid, and a third poured out purple liquid.

The three liquids flowed from the bottle opening, but then condensed and intertwined in the air.

Yuanshi Tianzun inhaled the mixture, and the redness on his face quickly subsided, his injuries healing rapidly.

He not only focused on casting spells, but his Law Power surged even more than before.

"Lingbao's Life-Creating Pill?"

"Three Lights Divine Water?"

While Yuanshi Tianzun was out fighting this man-made natural disaster, Zhang Xuezhou looked at Yuanshi Tianzun with envy in the main hall of Zixiao Palace.

He envied the spiritual treasure that could refine the Life-Creating Pill, and even more so the Yuanshi Celestial Venerable who mentioned his holy medicine for healing.

What Zhang Xuezhou needs most right now is a top-tier healing remedy.

As the source of his cultivation in reality, the higher the cultivation level of Zhang Xuezhou's body, the higher the levels he will inevitably come into contact with, thus bringing more benefits to himself in reality.

Cultivating upwards has always been Zhang Xuezhou's hope in dealing with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon. He looks forward to the day when he can possess the strength of an emperor and thus drive out the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

If it weren't for the obstruction of the two bridges of heaven and earth, Zhang Xuezhou might have already stepped into the Divine Ability Realm, which would have been only two major realms away from his goal, instead of his current physical condition making it difficult to climb higher.

"It's a pity I couldn't get my hands on it!"

Despite his envy, Zhang Xuezhou was more concerned with how to leave the main hall of Zixiao Palace. Even if he appeared at the foot of this secret place, many troubles would disappear.

Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun seemed to be able to withstand the explosion of the Mohists's mechanical city, but was unable to escape and re-enter the hall, Zhang Xuezhou quickly returned to 'Jiuyu' to try to study it again as soon as possible, to see if there was any way to save effort or reduce the cultivation level to drive this Law Treasure.

However, Zhang Xuezhou also had to admit that it was like being in a completely different field. He had never studied mechanics or the crafting of magical artifacts, so his knowledge of such items was quite limited.

He could use a freezer, but Zhang Xuezhou couldn't build one, let alone disassemble it to figure out the function and principle of each component.

"Besides plugging it in (and inputting Law Power), there seems to be no other way!"

Zhang Xuezhou fumbled around, but there was no response from 'Jiuyu'.

This made him quickly look at the gem at the top of the hall that had been significantly reduced in size and emitted a purple light, and he repeatedly used various methods to push Gongsun Hong and Li Shaojun.

For now, they can only wait and see if Gongsun Hong can quickly recover his Law Power. Once the aftershocks of the explosion subside, they will try to escape again by teleporting.

As for waking Li Shaojun, it was only because the other party also had many tricks up his sleeve, and Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to seek advice when he was at a loss.

He slapped her left and then right, then punched her right after slapping her left.

The physical stimulation caused their faces to swell rapidly, plunging them into pain and struggle.

"If you don't wake up soon, I'll stab you to death with my sword and bring you back to life!"

It was difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to bring Gongsun Hong to his senses, but resolving Li Shaojun's problem was quite simple.

With a single sword strike, the young man will surely revive and awaken within moments, and will also be free from his original mental problems.

"The Way that can be spoken of is not the eternal Way; it is named..."

Gongsun Hong was in agony, and Li Shaojun continued to speak despite the pain. The repeated struggle of her eyelids also proved that she was on the verge of consciousness, almost breaking free from the effects of the teleportation and hallucination.

"Is the Tao 'non-existent' or 'absent'?"

Zhang Xuezhou initially paid little attention to Li Shaojun's muttering, but when Li Shaojun was still able to recite normally despite lacking physical control, and even began to combine the pain of flesh with his own body to get rid of the influence, Zhang Xuezhou listened more carefully.

Following Shi Jiao and the Mohists, Zhang Xuezhou once again heard about the Daoist secrets concerning time and space.
