Chapter 1 After a Year

A year later, Jiang Xuan arrived at the entrance of the oblique moon three stars cave on Mount Fangcun, took out a broom, and began to sweep the mountain road himself.

He did not use his cultivation because this was the test of the Candle Dragon Eye. A year ago, he had obtained the Thunder God Eye and shared it with the other Jiang Xuans. During this time, they also created an extraordinary pupil technique Divine Ability with the Thunder God Eye, the Illusory God Eye, the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, and the Suanni treasured technique.

This Divine Ability nurtured Nine Heavens Tribulation Lightning within the eyes. Above, it could see the Nine Heavens; below, it could observe the Netherworld. It could also break through illusions. With each opening and closing of the eyes, divine lightning rolled out, transforming into a lightning dragon, like a heavenly punishment descending upon the world. Few beings of the same level could resist it.

Although it couldn't make anyone pregnant with a glare, it would probably be able to make anyone die with a glare.

Moreover, this Divine Ability could continue to integrate other similar Divine Abilities and secret techniques. Precisely for this reason, he came to the Three Realms Palace again today, preparing to learn the Candle Dragon Eye.

"Uncle-Master."

"Uncle-Master."

"Grandmaster."

*Shua… shua…*

Holding the broom, Jiang Xuan swept away the fallen leaves on the mountain road little by little amidst the greetings of the ordinary disciples of Mount Fangcun.

"Grandmaster is personally sweeping the mountain road? Is this the test of the first level of the Immortal Palace secret manual?"

"Don't mention the first level of the Immortal Palace. Even the ninth level is accessible to Grandmaster whenever he wishes. Grandmaster can easily defeat those ninth-level puppets."

"Grandmaster seemed to have gone to the Three Realms Palace this morning. Perhaps it's also a test within the Three Realms Palace. After all, Grandmaster had previously cleared the weeds on Mount Fangcun."

On Mount Fangcun, news spread quickly. After all, Jiang Xuan was a prominent figure on Mount Fangcun. His arrival and defeat of the ninth-level puppet had stirred up waves on the usually peaceful Mount Fangcun, naturally attracting much attention.

However, Jiang Xuan remained calm about all this. Without using his cultivation, he lowered his head and swept the mountain road. Each sweep felt like a wiping of the mind. He swept downwards slowly, as if enjoying the act of sweeping the mountain road.

Half a day later, Jiang Xuan reached the foot of Mount Fangcun. He had swept the mountain road once, but he didn't feel tired at all. On the contrary, he felt relaxed.

"It's rare to be so leisurely. Calming down like this can indeed bring many insights." Whether it was weeding or sweeping the mountain road, there was a purpose behind it.

In this world of cultivation, it was definitely difficult to calm down like a mortal, but if one could calm down, one could have more insights and feel the atmosphere of the mortal world.

"Disciple." Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ear.

Jiang Xuan was startled and immediately replied, "Master!"

"Go and learn the Candle Dragon Eye, then come to me," the voice sounded in his ear again.

"Yes, Master," Jiang Xuan replied respectfully.

In his opinion, Bodhi Founder might have already collected those rare items. Next, he would try that final step.

After going to the Three Realms Palace to learn the Candle Dragon Eye, Jiang Xuan also went to the Taoist temple where Bodhi Founder was.

Inside the Taoist temple, in front of the open space was a futon. Bodhi Founder, wearing a loose Taoist robe, was sitting there. His hair and beard were all white, but he didn't have the slightest sense of aging. What Jiang Xuan felt more was a kind of endless, eternal existence, and he could also feel endless vitality.

In the Desolate Era world, life expectancy was the least valuable thing. As long as one successfully transcended the tribulation, one could live for 108,000 Chaos Cycles, which was no different from being immortal. In other worlds, one didn't know what level of cultivation was needed to have this kind of life expectancy.

"Master," Jiang Xuan stood in the open space and said respectfully.

"The Ten Great Heavenly Dao Treasures, I have prepared them for you. How are you preparing now?" Bodhi Founder asked. During this time, he had traveled to other realms to exchange these rare items with the Dao Ancestors within the Three Realms.

"Disciple is ready."

Jiang Xuan said that the Golden Core World Creation Method he had originally deduced didn't even require the Ten Great Heavenly Dao Treasures. However, after telling Bodhi Founder about the Golden Core World Creation Method, Bodhi Founder further improved it, deducing that with the help of the Heavenly Dao Treasures, the Golden Core World Creation Method could be even more perfect.

"Mm." Bodhi Founder nodded, then waved his Taoist robe, and the space-time changed. He and Jiang Xuan directly arrived at a vast wilderness, "Let your second primordial spirit transcend the tribulation here."

Bodhi Founder took out a treasure and placed it in Jiang Xuan's hand. He could clearly sense that there were ten boundless and profound auras within it, as if they were integrated with the rules of heaven and earth.

"You use your second primordial spirit to try the Golden Core World Creation Method. Although it won't harm your main body, you must be cautious and not be careless." Bodhi Founder instructed. The second primordial spirit's tribulation was just a small matter. The real important thing this time was to try the Golden Core World Creation Method, so he naturally had to be cautious.

"Disciple understands."

Jiang Xuan replied. At the same time, the second primordial spirit walked out of the portable immortal mansion, took the treasure given by Bodhi Founder, and flew to the center of the wilderness. There wasn't a single living being within ten thousand miles.

"Hoo..."

Several days later, on that lonely mountain, Jiang Xuan's second primordial spirit was completely ready. His cultivation had already been raised to the Return to Void Complete Realm. He no longer suppressed himself, and changes gradually appeared in the void.

*Hoo hoo hoo…*

The wind rose. It was originally a peaceful place, but now a strong wind suddenly rose, forming wind blades. The wind blades became smaller and smaller, and their colors were constantly changing. Their power became stronger and stronger, turning into black blades, each of which was no less powerful than an immortal-grade magic weapon.

"The Wind Tribulation is like this, I'm afraid it will be the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation."

Bodhi Founder thought. The Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation was already the highest level of tribulation between heaven and earth. Once passed, the Heavenly Immortal body would instantly be complete, and the physique would directly lead countless years in the same realm.

However, since ancient times, very few living beings had been able to pass the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. The last one to pass it was Lu Dongbin, who had been reincarnated and rebuilt his cultivation, and he was now already a Chunyang Complete Realm cultivator.

"This is also good. The Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation may make the Golden Core World even more perfect."

Bodhi Founder thought that the Golden Core would be condensed after the tribulation. The stronger the tribulation, although it would be more difficult to successfully transcend the tribulation, the higher the quality of the Golden Core would be if he succeeded, which would also be beneficial to the creation of the Golden Core World.

Above the wilderness, Jiang Xuan's physical body bloomed with light, and the power of the Dao converged into barriers, endlessly regenerating, mutually reinforcing, as if there would never be an end.

The Wind Tribulation was like immortal-grade treasured sabers, either fierce, sinister, gentle, cold, or fiery…

One after another, they slashed across the void and constantly chopped towards Jiang Xuan, but in the end, they were blocked by the barriers. Only the final Heavenly Immortal Wind, formless and shadowless, could not be blocked by any force and directly entered the body.

The Heavenly Immortal Wind was a tribulation, but it was also a baptism, transforming the physical body, a transformation from the mortal to the immortal. Jiang Xuan guarded his Dao heart, allowing the Heavenly Immortal Wind to baptize him, and remained unmoved.

After a long time, the Heavenly Immortal Wind dissipated, and the body of the second primordial spirit began to transform little by little.

About half an hour after the Wind Tribulation, red clouds gradually appeared in the sky, like a cloud of flames gathered together.

This was the Fire Tribulation. Compared to the Wind Tribulation, the Fire Tribulation was even more violent. With the power of this fire, if there was the slightest inability to resist, the body of a Return to Void Earth Immortal would be instantly burned to ashes.

The red cloud in the sky began to slowly descend, immediately causing the surrounding temperature to rise rapidly. Even a hazy red light appeared in the air.

"Chi chi chi…"

After the cloud enveloped Jiang Xuan, the temperature instantly rose to a terrifying level. The original rocks and soil in that area were burned into nothingness, and the rocks and soil were turned into magma flowing, which showed how terrible the temperature was.

But this was just the beginning. In the red clouds, one could vaguely see flames burning. Some of the flames were golden, some were black, some were emerald green, and some were bright star-colored…

Each one was extremely terrifying. Ordinary cultivators, even if they were contaminated with a trace, might be burned to ashes. Now, there were dozens of them here, surrounding Jiang Xuan, as if to turn him into ashes as well.

However, Jiang Xuan's second primordial spirit and his main body were of one mind and had the same memories. He mastered many powerful methods, and he also had many treasures. Although the Fire Tribulation was strong, it could not threaten him.

After a long time, the Heavenly Immortal Fire descended. It could not be blocked and directly entered the body of the second primordial spirit. Although it was a tribulation, it was also a creation. After passing through it, the body originally transformed from the congenital spiritual pearl transformed again, becoming more and more like a true Heavenly Immortal body.

After the Fire Tribulation passed, only the Lightning Tribulation and the Heart Demon Tribulation remained. It was not far from the condensation of the Golden Core, but the real beginning of the tribulation was about to begin.

"Rumble…"

Half an hour later, two huge dark clouds suddenly appeared in the calm sky. These two dark clouds completely covered half of the sky, making the world completely dark for a time, without any light.

*Hong ka! Hong ka!*

Sounds of explosions began to appear, and huge lightning snakes appeared between the two huge dark clouds.

The second primordial spirit looked at it calmly, with a bright fire in his eyes, as if he wanted to rush to the Nine Heavens and refine the heavenly thunder.

"Hong!"

A heavenly thunder, like the sword of a god, flew directly out of the vortex of lightning clouds and struck down directly. Compared with the heavenly wind and heavenly fire, the power of this heavenly thunder was even more terrifying!

"It's almost comparable to the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation in a normal state!"

Bodhi Founder said, but he was not worried. Jiang Xuan could defeat the ninth-level puppet, so at least this level of thunder tribulation could not threaten him. What he really needed to worry about was the thunder tribulation after the Six-Nine.

Jiang Xuan's main body looked at it calmly. This thunder tribulation was indeed very strong, comparable to a blow from a loose immortal for hundreds of thousands of years. If it reached the end, it was estimated that it would be comparable to a blow from a true Heavenly Immortal.

However, under the heavenly thunder, the second primordial spirit was not moved at all. Nine flying knives flew out, forming a knife formation in the void. The knife light was stern, tearing apart and cutting off the vast thunder tribulation.

One-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, Two-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation…

Soon, Jiang Xuan's thunder tribulation had reached the Seven-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. At this time, any one of the thunder tribulations was no less powerful than a full blow from a normal Heavenly Immortal.

In front of Jiang Xuan, the Thousand Absolute Knife Formation also used the third level. More than 300 flying knives surrounded his body, constructing a killing formation, and the thunder tribulation could not get close at all.

Especially in that knife formation, the power of time and space was also integrated. Even if the thunder tribulation was terrifying, it still could not break it open and was constantly being distorted and cut off.

*Hong ka!*

The sixty-third thunder tribulation fell. At this moment, the heavenly thunder had turned red, and its power had increased several times. It struck the knife formation, causing the knife formation to tremble.

"It seems that the third level can't resist it either."

The second primordial spirit thought in his heart, and another 108 flying knives broke through the air. More than 400 flying knives changed again, turning into a stronger knife formation, constantly tearing apart the void and the universe.

This was the fourth level of the Thousand Absolute Knife Formation. The fourth to sixth levels of the knife formation corresponded to the Heavenly Immortal level, while the seventh to ninth levels were the True Immortal level. The final tenth level was the level of the Ancestral Immortal.

Jiang Xuan's understanding of the Dao was comparable to that of a Heavenly Immortal, and his divine sense was not weaker than that of an ordinary Heavenly Immortal. After exchanging for enough treasures, he quickly practiced the Thousand Absolute Knife Formation to the fourth level. At this point, he was no longer comparable to a Heavenly Immortal, but a true Heavenly Immortal combat power.

"The Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is coming!"

Bodhi Founder stared at the void, saw the thunder rolling, and after a few breaths, a red divine sword crashed down, its power even more terrifying, and even Heavenly Immortals dared not underestimate it.

Jiang Xuan also did not, but he was not afraid in his heart. The knife formation crossed the sky, going against the heavenly tribulation and fighting back.

*Hong!*

The void rioted, the knife formation broke through the air, hundreds of flying knives constantly cut off the thunder tribulation, the vast divine power swept across, and the whole world fell silent.

*Hong…*

With a roar, thunder rolled, and the Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation passed, but the dark clouds in the void did not disappear.

Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!

Jiang Xuan's main body also had a solemn expression. This time the thunder tribulation was completely different from before. They were all purple and white, and the more pure the white was, the more it seemed like the supreme heavenly sword used by the Heavenly Dao to punish all living beings. Even if it was only a trace, the power of the thunder tribulation would directly increase several times!

Especially the last one, which was a completely pure white thunder, full of holiness and nobility. It did not have a violent momentum, but it carried the general trend of heaven and earth, and rolled down mightily.

At this moment, this heavenly thunder completely exceeded the scope of ordinary Heavenly Immortals. Its divine power was vast, divine and pure, and it carried an irresistible power.

"Thousand Absolute Knife Formation!"

"Void Great Ripping Slash!"

"Years are Like a Knife Slicing Heavenly Immortals!"

At this moment, Jiang Xuan did not dare to hesitate at all. He broke out with a variety of great methods, immortal light filled the air, knife intent raged, and time and space were roaring, with infinite power.

In an instant, they blasted out one after another. The entire world was shrouded in endless white light. If it were not for being in a wilderness, the power that overflowed from this alone would be enough to kill many Return to Void Earth Immortals!

Hong&

It was not until a long time later that the world cleared, and the dark clouds above his head gradually dissipated. At the same time, Jiang Xuan began to emit immortal spiritual energy.

"Next, it depends on the Heart Demon Tribulation…"

Bodhi Founder said that Jiang Xuan had passed the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. Although it was the second primordial spirit, it also represented that he had the power of a Heavenly Immortal. Next, as long as he passed the Heart Demon Tribulation and condensed the Heavenly Immortal Golden Core, this second primordial spirit would become a true Heavenly Immortal!

And Jiang Xuan wanted to create a Golden Core World, so he only had this one chance. Once he missed it, the Golden Core would be completely formed.

"Only the Heart Demon Tribulation is left…"

Jiang Xuan also thought in his heart that among the four great heavenly tribulations, he was most afraid of the Heart Demon Tribulation, because the Heart Demon Dao Ancestor of the No-Man Sect had already merged with the Heavenly Dao. He was the heart demon, and the heart demon was him!

Therefore, no matter who breaks through to become a Heavenly Immortal in the current Three Realms, they cannot hide it from the eyes of the No-Man Sect!
