Chapter 386
Overcoming Multiple Tribulations
Thunderclouds rolled over Xunyang City.
The Jade Pivot Divine Lightning continued to strike, each strike more powerful than the last. In the end, it even lost its cyan color and turned completely jade-colored, radiating a divine white light.
The thunderous roar shook the rooftops of many houses, and the people on the street hurriedly fled back home, hiding inside and afraid to come out.
Some people have even knelt down and prayed, begging God to calm down.
Such a display of force, as if it were about to shatter the entire city into scorched earth, truly frightened many people. But soon people realized that it seemed to be all bark and no bite.
Although the lightning bolts came with great force, they disappeared halfway through, and none of them managed to hit the city.
It was as if an invisible force was enveloping Xunyang City, protecting them.
Even more surprisingly, some people discovered that the trumpet vines in the yard had bloomed.
It was only March, and trumpet vines usually bloom from May to September, so I don't know why they suddenly bloomed.
Some people have also noticed that the trees in some places have already turned yellow with autumn leaves, and the leaves are falling in abundance.
In some ponds, lotus flowers are in full bloom, while in others, frost has formed.
……
"The four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter all originate from the same place, yin and yang are mixed up, and the four seasons are reversed. What great Dao has this been comprehended?"
Although Zheng Chenghuang had not undergone tribulation, he still possessed considerable insight and had already discerned the underlying reasons for these unusual phenomena.
Those who undergo tribulation cultivate the Great Dao, and based on their understanding of the Dao, they often give rise to different extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth.
The wonder of Xunyang City at this moment is that person's Dao.
Combined with the automatically dissipating Jade Pivot Lightning, Zheng Chenghuang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, gasped, and a shocking guess popped into his mind.
Could it be that what that person comprehended... was time?
Before he could think it through, the Jade Pivot Thunderclouds gradually dissipated, and the sky returned to its clear state. The Jade Thunder Tribulation, which terrified many cultivators, was passed so easily.
Not a single bolt of lightning struck the ground from beginning to end.
Lift weights lightly.
Just as Zheng Chenghuang finally breathed a sigh of relief, his heart suddenly jumped again, and his pupils dilated.
Then, a bright crescent moon appeared in the sky.
Mysterious Yin Calamity!
……
Zhou Sheng was still in a state of enlightenment at this moment, and he did not even notice when the Xuan Yue appeared until he felt a bone-chilling coldness on his body, which brought him back to his senses.
Am I undergoing a tribulation?
A chill surged up his body, spreading from his feet to his brow, quickly turning him into an ice sculpture.
A terrifying chill spread outwards, threatening to freeze everything for miles around. Even the rare treasures used in the formation, such as the Tai Chi Corpse-Suppressing Stone and the Eight Wind Thunderfire Pillars, were affected.
The immortal corpse in the coffin twitched its fingers violently, its eyelashes trembling, as if seizing this opportunity to try and break through the restrictions of the formation.
Unfortunately, while the ice seal affected the formation, it was still able to suppress him temporarily.
Click!
As a sound of ice cracking rang out, Zhou Sheng's body radiated brilliant golden light from within the ice sculpture, his powerful physical energy melting the frost like a furnace.
Drops of water kept falling.
Although he did not break through his cultivation level during these three years, he did not slack off for a moment. In addition to the improvement of his cultivation, his various techniques and supernatural abilities also improved greatly.
For example, he has successfully cultivated the Zombie Technique to the highest level, the Golden Armor Corpse Realm. His physical body is as if it is covered with an indestructible golden armor, making him strong and powerful.
The malevolent energy contained in the "Zombie Kung Fu" was neutralized by the increasingly refined "Medicine Buddha's Lapis Lazuli Golden Body".
With the Vajra Indestructible Divine Power taught by Monkey King, he has already made some progress. He has mastered the three great external martial arts, and it is no exaggeration to say that his physical body is now comparable to a superior magic weapon. Even Yao Tai Feng's Wind and Thunder Swords can no longer cut him.
With his physical body alone, he was confident he could kill a cultivator at the sixth level. Therefore, although the Profound Yin Tribulation was powerful, even causing him to feel a chill to the bone, it still couldn't harm him. Instead, Zhou Sheng used it to temper his physical body and hone his bones.
His physical strength had subtly increased a bit.
The Xuan Yin Tribulation was safely overcome.
"Lord City God, surely this will finally end this? You've managed to survive two tribulations in one go—"
One of the underworld officials was expressing his feelings when he suddenly stopped, his eyes widening in disbelief, and he even began to stammer.
"Three, three, three calamities?"
A second sun suddenly appeared in the sky above.
Xuan Yang Calamity!
"Have we still not found out who is undergoing tribulation in the city?"
Zheng Chenghuang looked at the second sun that had suddenly appeared in the sky, his gaze solemn, and asked a question.
"Two suns shine brightly at the same time, their heat so intense that every step feels like being on fire. Nobody dares to go out now. But judging from the direction, it seems to be heading south of the city?"
"That looks like... Boss Long's residence."
……
The blazing sun relentlessly scorched Zhou Sheng's golden body, bathing every inch of his skin from head to toe in golden flames.
Generally speaking, cultivators need to prepare many treasures to restrain the fire element when they overcome this tribulation, such as fire-resistant clothing and fire-extinguishing divine water. However, Zhou Sheng boldly chose to withstand it with his physical body.
Using the fire of Xuan Yang, continue to temper your physical body.
This was undoubtedly a very risky move, but Zhou Sheng was clearly skilled and daring.
Of course, he still has most of his mind immersed in comprehending the laws of the Great Dao, with only a small part of it focused on dealing with the tribulation.
In a daze, he remembered that this was how Monkey King had undergone the same transformation, and even more violently than himself, by simultaneously transforming both the Yin and Yang aspects.
So he did just that.
Having just been tempered by the power of Yin, it was immediately subjected to the baptism of the power of Yang Heavenly Fire. The clash of Yin and Yang and the imbalance of water and fire created such a violent fluctuation that it was undoubtedly a huge test for the physical body.
Only then did he realize how terrifying the Monkey King's physical body was.
Because in less than a quarter of an hour, he was already almost at his limit.
The golden statue gradually showed signs of melting, softening little by little in the raging fire, and it seemed that it would soon turn into molten gold.
Once his golden body is broken, his physical body will be burned to ashes immediately. His primordial spirit may escape with its life, but it will lose the opportunity to comprehend the Great Dao and can only become a wandering immortal.
Zhou Sheng naturally wouldn't choose this path. With a thought, he reversed time.
The next moment, the golden body that was about to melt solidified instantly, and the dim golden light was restored to its original brilliance.
He used the Great Path of Time to transform the golden body back to a moment ago.
This is the wonder of the Great Way of Time.
The Xuan Yang Calamity remained terrifying, but Zhou Sheng remained calm amidst the flames, as if sitting on a lotus throne.
Immersed in the Great Dao and the tribulation, he did not notice that a tiny crack had suddenly appeared on the Taiji Corpse-Suppressing Stone, which had just been frozen and was now being scorched by raging fire.
The Nine Nether Corpse Suppression Formation also developed a flaw due to this crack.
Inside the coffin, the immortal corpse's eyelids trembled incessantly, and its fingernails, like sharp swords, dug cracks into the bottom of the coffin.
Just as the Xuan Yang Tribulation was about to end, two beams of dark light suddenly shot out from the coffin.
The immortal corpse opened its eyes.
