"Immortal Essence Conversion!
Damn it, the spiritual energy on Fire Phoenix Mountain is insufficient!"
Feng Wei was still wondering when she heard the muffled "bang," but then she sensed the change in Yang Hong's aura and was immediately greatly alarmed.
She wanted to interrupt Yang Hong's spell, but Feng Ruhua was also breaking through. She wasn't sure if interrupting would affect her granddaughter's safety.
Just then, eighty-one nine-grade spirit plants flew out from Yang Hong's hands, forming a spirit-isolating formation.
He had also heard Feng Wei and immediately tossed out the nine-grade spirit plants from his scale space.
As soon as the formation was complete, pure spiritual energy flowed continuously from the eighty-one spirit plants, maintaining the spiritual energy needed for Yang Hong's Immortal Essence conversion.
Worried about insufficient spiritual energy, Yang Hong frowned and directly took out another 999 spirit plants, filling Feng Wei's cave dwelling.
However, Yang Hong did not actively break through. Instead, he suppressed his breakthrough with all his might, as he still wanted to return to the Myriad Worlds Continent to make some arrangements before ascending.
He poured the converted Immortal Essence into Feng Ruhua's body to slow down his own cultivation breakthrough speed, while continuously refining his magical power, keeping it in the true essence state, and stopping his breakthrough.
"Wuwu~ Husband, you are too good to me. You actually transferred Immortal Essence to me.
Husband, your concubine will lay many, many eggs for you."
Yang Hong's actions deeply moved Feng Ruhua. She had experienced Immortal Essence as a second-generation immortal and knew the importance of Immortal Essence.
"Hurry up and circulate your cultivation technique to break through. Stop your nonsense."
Yang Hong scolded Feng Ruhua unromantically, telling her to cooperate properly.
He didn't need Feng Ruhua's gratitude, only that she quickly absorb more Immortal Essence.
However, to his helplessness, his true essence was too pure. Once it was further refined, it would turn into Immortal Essence again. Almost all his true essence was converting into Immortal Essence, and the nearby spiritual energy was also rapidly converting into Immortal Essence.
It seemed to be an irreversible process.
He suddenly thought of something and looked at Feng Wei, the patriarch of the Fire Phoenix clan, who was also looking touched and grateful not far away.
"Senior, how have you already broken through to immortal cultivation and are still in the lower realm?"
"I descended from the upper realm. There is a seal from an upper realm Golden Immortal. As long as the seal is not broken and I don't approach the ascension light pillar, I can remain in the lower realm."
"But you are the patriarch of the Fire Phoenix clan."
"I came down to be the patriarch."
"..."
Yang Hong was suddenly speechless. It seemed to make sense. Letting an immortal descend to be a patriarch could not only protect the younger generation but also guide them. It was a win-win situation.
"You want to suppress your cultivation and not ascend for the time being, right?"
"Yes~ Yes~ Yes."
"Your human race does have such secret techniques."
Hearing this, Yang Hong immediately looked at Feng Wei with surprise, expecting her to reveal the method.
"Unfortunately, I don't know. That is still a secret technique, and only a few powerful human cultivators know it. It's not an ordinary secret technique."
"..."
Yang Hong almost vomited blood. If you don't know, you don't know, why drag out the suspense?
"Fellow Daoist Yang, please ascend and transcend your tribulation on Fire Phoenix Mountain. It is absolutely safe here."
Seeing that Feng Ruhua's cultivation had broken through to the eighth-rank Demon Lord and her aura was stable and powerful, Feng Wei no longer had a strong desire to keep Yang Hong.
"Mmm~"
Yang Hong just nodded, but his actions didn't stop.
He withdrew his right hand, leaving only his left hand to continue helping Feng Ruhua break through.
His right hand, which had come out of the air, began to multitask, continuously recording cultivation technique jade slips.
He now knew over a million cultivation techniques, including 7 Heavenly-grade techniques, 281 Earth-grade techniques, and millions below Earth-grade.
He didn't need to worry about those below Earth-grade, but the Earth-grade and Heavenly-grade techniques could not be lost. He had to seize the time to record them.
Next were powerful spells. He didn't have time to sort through the tens of millions of spells below seventh-rank. He only selected a hundred seventh-rank secret techniques, a hundred eighth-rank secret techniques, and all 35 ninth-rank secret techniques, and 182 ordinary ninth-rank spells.
These were all precious treasures, and they must not be allowed to disappear or be lost if they could be passed down.
Finally, there were spirit plants and formations, two of the hundred arts of cultivation. These were the two skills he was most proficient in, and he also wanted them to be passed down.
Oh, and the art of brewing! His art of brewing was also very powerful.
It was just that time was running out.
"Fellow Daoist, quickly let go of Ruhua. Your ascension heavenly tribulation has appeared."
Just as Yang Hong was preparing to record the art of brewing, Feng Wei shouted anxiously.
"Holy crap~ That fast?"
Yang Hong also realized that the heavenly tribulation outside the cave dwelling had begun to gather.
He dared not delay and immediately handed seven storage rings to Feng Ruhua.
"Feng Ruhua, take this storage ring and help me deliver it to Qingfeng Villa in Lihuo Desert, Dongli Prefecture, Taiyuan Continent. In return, you can copy a portion of the cultivation techniques inside."
"Husband, don't worry, your concubine will definitely deliver it."
In half a day, her cultivation had advanced from the seventh-rank Integration stage all the way to the peak of the eighth-rank Tribulation stage. If it weren't for the descent of the heavenly tribulation, she could have reached the ninth-rank Mahayana stage in at most a quarter of an hour!
Such cultivation speed naturally moved her greatly.
Let alone her, even the other high-ranking Fire Phoenix clan members who were watching and providing protection were deeply moved.
"Good! Then I'll trouble you.
You all hide in this cave dwelling. I'll go out to transcend my tribulation.
Earth Evasion!"
To avoid causing too much disaster to Fire Phoenix Mountain and Fire Phoenix Island, he used two Earth Evasions to reach a relatively desolate beach on Fire Phoenix Island.
As for going into the sea?
Forget it. He had helped others transcend their ascension heavenly tribulation hundreds of thousands of times. He wasn't afraid of the heavenly tribulation.
What he feared was being ambushed by someone while he was transcending his tribulation!
Boom~
As soon as he was ready, the first heavenly tribulation descended.
It was a blue heavenly tribulation, carrying gentle water spiritual energy as it struck.
"Mmm~ So cold!"
Yang Hong, who had initially underestimated the ascension heavenly tribulation, changed his expression. This tribulation was not right!
The first heavenly tribulation was the Ren Water tribulation lightning, carrying the gentleness of water. The next eight heavenly tribulations were also Ren Water tribulation lightning, bringing the other eight characteristics of water.
Some were heavy, some light, some corrosive, some surging, and there was also crushing pressure and suffocation, and so on.
The tenth heavenly tribulation was the Bing Fire tribulation lightning, from the nineteenth onwards it was the Wu Earth tribulation lightning, the twenty-eighth was the Jia Wood tribulation lightning, and the thirty-seventh was the Geng Metal tribulation lightning.
In total, there were five sets of 45 tribulation lightnings, and Yang Hong's ascension heavenly tribulation ended. He did not encounter the heart demon tribulation that other cultivators would face.
Perhaps, it was because he had killed the heart demons in the Hongdong secret realm, and the other formless heavenly demons did not dare to appear before him.
After the lightning tribulation ended, Yang Hong even had time to change his clothes before the ascension channel opened.
Unexpectedly, the first to descend was not the golden pillar of the Buddhist realm, but the black pillar of the demon realm.
As soon as this pillar appeared, Yang Hong immediately jumped away, teleporting to the sea surface thousands of miles away!
He did not dare to enter the demon realm, that would be seeking death!
The demon and human cultivators who were watching Yang Hong's tribulation from afar also dispersed immediately. They did not doubt Yang Hong's identity, but they all worried about the safety of the Taiyuan Realm.
Once the ascension light pillars from the demon realm appeared frequently, it would be easy for demons to break into the Taiyuan Realm.
Fortunately, this black pillar only appeared for more than ten breaths before dissipating without being able to receive any ascenders.
The immortal Buddhas from the upper realm who rushed over did not even have time to act.
Subsequently, the golden ascension light pillar of the Buddhist realm and the immortal realm flying light pillar appeared simultaneously at the location where the black pillar disappeared, shining brightly, as if consciously clearing the aura of the demon realm ascension light pillar.
Yang Hong quickly teleported back and flew towards the immortal realm ascension light pillar. His beloved was in the immortal realm, so he naturally had to go to the immortal realm.
However, as he ascended to the middle section of the ascension light pillar, his expression suddenly changed!
