Chapter 889
Successive Tribulations, the Pinnacle of Humanity
Star Gods are a very special kind of life form.
He is the only innate being born after the ancient imperial era, born from the stars, and possessed from birth the laws and concepts represented by the stars.
He was truly born from the Three-Patterned Star God Realm.
Reaching the Nine-Patterned Realm, the ultimate realm of the so-called "Starry Sky Dao Master," is comparable to a True Immortal in the Immortal Dao system. However, although the path of the Star God is easier, the difference in strength between individuals is also quite significant.
Furthermore, the Star God is considered a relatively weak innate being.
During the gestation process, their strength is generally average. If they are discovered by someone with ulterior motives, they will most likely be refined into a second primordial spirit or an external avatar. At the very least, they will be refined into a puppet, which is also excellent.
If you're unlucky, you might even be used as a vessel for someone else to possess.
therefore.
The name Star God sounds powerful, but in their era of Myriad Spirits where powerful figures emerged, their situation was not good at the beginning. However, after Wang Yu comprehended the Chaos Dao Fruit...
His foundation in Dao Fruits is gradually becoming integrated.
Looking at this [Eye of Chaos] spectacle again, it seems to be a backup plan prepared by the Lord of Burial Immortals, even though the Soul Refining World was affected by some unexpected events.
This caused his will to fail to awaken, delaying his resurrection for a long time, but he eventually woke up due to Wang Yu's influence.
Judging from the current situation, hiding the world inside the Eye of Chaos can not only conceal its initial weakness, but also allow the world to be used as a seed to penetrate deep into the Eye of Chaos and be reborn!
do not forget.
The Eye of Chaos is said to be the appearance of the world at the beginning.
The so-called "beginning of the world" does not refer to the Great Thousand World or the Middle Thousand World, but to the entire cosmic ocean! The world it encompasses is the Great Cosmic Ocean and its surrounding天地 (heaven and earth)!
Such ambition is astonishing. It is only because Wang Yu has comprehended the mysteries of chaos and is thoroughly familiar with the Star God system that he has such a connection, which has become unstoppable.
If the Lord of the Burial Immortal Path truly succeeds.
Its star god essence will be completely sublimated into... a cosmic god? An ancient god? Wang Yu was not sure how to call it, so he temporarily gave it this name.
He is at least a powerful figure comparable to the Heavenly Dao of the Universe Sea, and will become the absolute ruler in the new world born from the Eye of Chaos.
The benefits that this process could bring were beyond Wang Yu's wildest imagination, while the powerful figures of the present world, though coveting the ten wonders of the universe, had no way to utilize them.
It is also extremely safe.
'I wonder if this method was passed down from the Star God, or if the Lord of the Burial Immortals Dao himself comprehended it...'
Wang Yu muttered to himself for a moment, then quickly snapped out of his thoughts. He felt that he should spend time finding another wonder like the "Eye of Chaos" that suited him so well.
If possible, it would be best to make it his place of ascension to immortality!
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the grotto-heaven manifested during the ascension to immortality and truly connected with the outer world, the Eye of Chaos was forcibly transformed into a vast world.
Doing so is somewhat wasteful.
However, the benefits it brings are unimaginable. Although the plans made for him by his master and the Demon Lord are good, they are ultimately not as suitable as what he wants.
'If you really can't find it, perhaps you could lend me the [Chenglu Taixu Mirror] to search for it. The Eye of Chaos, such a cosmic wonder, should also be considered a rare treasure…'
Just as he was getting into deeper thought.
The funeral director who came to guide him couldn't help but cautiously remind him, "Honored guest, the master is still waiting for you."
Wang Yu suddenly woke up.
"Sorry, I got a little too engrossed in my contemplation. Let's go now."
"Yes~"
Following the Burial Master deep into the Eye of Chaos, Wang Yu discovered that the interior had also been modified. The Burial Immortal Dao Master's methods were somewhat similar to those of a Feng Shui master, and he was very skilled at arranging the terrain.
Along the way, he discovered many "Eyes of the Underworld" terrains that collected death energy and water from the underworld, and even deliberately buried countless skeletons to accelerate the formation of these special terrains.
This made Wang Yu uncertain about his previous guess. Perhaps the Burial Immortal Dao Master's ambition was not as great as he thought, but rather he wanted to bury him.
What good would that do...?
Not long after.
Upon reaching the core of the Eye of Chaos and passing through that eerie, black hole-like membrane, Wang Yu's physical body suddenly felt a surge of pressure.
It was the rules of the Soul Refining World that were rejecting his physical body.
This is a world of souls and spirits, where flesh and blood beings are not allowed to exist, hence the feeling of oppression. With his physical strength, he can adapt to it after a while.
There are few environments in the world that can limit him.
I have been away from this world for many years.
Returning again, he couldn't help but feel a little sad and regretful. The burial master led him forward, passing through the ground and going down into the unknown for tens of thousands of miles, passing through a mysterious spatial membrane.
Wang Yu was directly transported into the origin space of the Soul Refining World, which was like the underworld, with a gray moon hanging high in the sky.
The ground was a black mist formed from the essence of countless souls, a primordial power with a texture similar to cotton candy, devoid of land and life.
The original space of the world is itself a container.
The funeral master led the way here and stopped there, directing Wang Yu toward the center, where a grand hall shaped like a coffin stood.
That is where the Lord of the Burial Immortal Dao went into seclusion to recover.
After a cup of tea's time.
Wang Yu finally met the other party. Compared to the avatar of his mind when they first met, the Burial Immortal Dao Master after reshaping his true form had a more feminine and handsome appearance, a slender figure, and could even be described as beautiful.
A typical male body with female features, dressed in white burial clothes, with a black dragon-shaped creature coiled on his shoulder, likely a spirit of an artifact, and an eyeless woman holding a white candle beside him.
It was the Earthly Candle Maiden who chose to abandon Wang Yu and follow the Star God orthodoxy of the Burial Immortal Dao Master back then!
Wang Yu bowed respectfully.
"It's been many years, and you've regained some of your former glory. Congratulations!"
The Immortal Burial Dao Master shook his head and said, "It's still far from enough. However, I did hear what you said outside the Eye of Chaos. You seem to have a different opinion?"
Wang Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at the candle maiden beside him.
The Lord of the Burial Immortals chuckled and said, "It's alright. The Heavenly Gods and Earthly Deities were a method used by the Star God Clan to rule the world when they were at their peak, using the power of faith as a bond. Candle Maiden can believe in them."
That's not what I meant.
Wang Yu was slightly embarrassed, mainly because when he deceived the Candle Maiden, he had taken away her Netherworld, and she thought he was the reincarnation of the Taiyin Star God...
Forget it.
He was just a Dao Integration cultivator, and with Wang Yu's current strength and shamelessness, it wouldn't matter if he revealed some of his secrets.
Thinking of this, Wang Yu transformed himself.
The aura unique to the supreme star "Taiyin Star" emanated from his body, and eight moon patterns appeared between his eyebrows, forming a circular pattern back to back with the center point as the axis.
"Eight-pattern Star God Realm... just one step away from nine-pattern. You've come here to transcend the tribulation?!"
Classic interrogative tone, affirmative sentence structure.
Nine-patterned Star Lord is the Star Lord in the conventional sense, but at this stage, the Star God is weaker than a True Immortal but much stronger than a Nine Tribulation Loose Immortal, and is in a transitional stage that is neither high nor low.
According to the Star God's lineage.
At this stage, it is best for the Star God to transform into a star and sleep in the starry sky for ten thousand years. At that time, he can naturally cultivate the entire Nine Pattern Realm and easily break through to the next level.
Reaching the level of nine patterns or above is what the Star God Clan often refers to as the "Starry Sky Dao Master." The nine-pattern Star God Realm is more of a transitional stage.
You can break through smoothly after waking up.
Therefore, it's not inappropriate to call the Nine-Patterned Star God "Lord of the Starry Sky." After transforming into a star, the Star God will receive the protection of the Heavenly Dao, avoiding powerful beings who might attack him, until he awakens. Back to the main topic.
Candle Maiden, who was standing nearby and heard the words of the Immortal Burial Dao Master, was also surprised by Wang Yu's growth speed, but she clearly did not realize the mystery behind it.
'This silly child.'
Wang Yu nodded and said, "The environment of the vast Immortal Realm is not suitable for me to undergo tribulation. I came here to borrow a place to undergo tribulation."
The Lord of Burial Immortals pondered and said, "You are, in a way, half a member of my clan. Perhaps only you and I are left in the world cultivating the Star God inheritance. But... aren't you afraid that I might turn my back on you?"
Wang Yu laughed and said, "Senior is joking. Back then, you treated even the lower-level cultivators of the Dao of Unity with courtesy, bestowing upon them celestial treasures as a token of your gratitude and settling all karmic debts. Why would you need to attack me now?"
Suddenly, the Lord of Burial Immortals said, "The vast expanse was once the territory of the Star God. The True Immortal of Tai Xuan Karma led human cultivators in a battle against the Star God. The human race was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Do you still remember, young friend?"
Wang Yu remained unmoved upon hearing this.
Before he came, he had conducted a thorough investigation, consulted many ancient books, and even asked his master. He also used his "knowledge without knowledge" to calculate his own fortune.
The Lord of the Burial Immortal Path is a typical recluse.
When the Star God Clan was at its peak, he did not receive any preferential treatment in terms of resources, and was even discriminated against because the star that nurtured him was biased towards the concepts of the Yellow Springs and Yin Souls.
Having experienced various injustices, he felt indifferent to his clan, and even his own Daoist partner died at the hands of the Sun Daoist Lord.
This led to the appearance of "Burial of Immortals," but unlike the Candle Dragon Demon Emperor, he was not a love-struck person. Even after becoming a Dao Lord, he never thought of avenging his Daoist partner.
I really can't beat them...
He watched as his tall building rose, as he entertained his guests, and finally, the building collapsed, yet he still lived on.
Given the power of the Tai Xuan Karma True Immortal, Wang Yu strongly suspected that he actually knew that the Burial Immortal Dao Master was still alive, and that his inaction might be due to other motives.
Thinking of this, Wang Yu suddenly asked a question in return.
"I suppose you are familiar with the division of the immortal realms. May I ask which step of the True Immortal realm you are at?"
"Naturally, it is the third step. The Path of Burying Immortals was created by me alone, unprecedented and unparalleled!"
—Got it!
It's just a startup company. Although they are bosses, they are just small bosses, much worse than those third-step True Immortals who have deeply cultivated the Three Thousand Great Daos.
The name "Burial of Immortals" sounds impressive, but in reality, it's not even as good as any ordinary True Immortal who has comprehended the Five Elements Dao and reached the third step.
No wonder he's content to stay in one corner, looking like a lazy bum who's just happy to be alive. I previously thought his idea of turning things around with the Eye of Chaos was probably unrealistic.
Seeing that he couldn't intimidate Wang Yu.
The Lord of Burial Immortals was not discouraged: "Didn't you say outside that I planned to use the Eye of Chaos to conceive again? In your opinion, where should we start?"
Wang Yu stroked his chin.
"Senior has just recovered from the Dao Fruit. If you are willing, you can scatter the Dao Fruit into this Chaos Eye. If you are lucky, you will succeed. If you are unlucky... you will perish completely."
That's as good as saying nothing at all.
The Lord of the Burial Immortals could not hide his disappointment and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, what can I get out of you anyway? You can keep this token; it will allow you to roam freely throughout the entire Soul Refining Realm."
"Thank you for lending me this land, senior. I will repay this debt of gratitude if I have the opportunity in the future."
"Go then, and I hope to see you again in the next era."
This clearly indicates that he would not have been born at the end of this era.
Wang Yu didn't say anything more.
After bowing, they left this primordial space, leaving the Candle Maiden somewhat puzzled: "God Lord, why not join forces with them? Don't you even wish to restore the Star God's former glory?"
"What good would it do to recover? Those are theirs, not mine. My only wish is for peace and joy. Immortality is not a good thing for me, but a curse..."
"As for you, the Demon Lord imprisoned you in the Demon Refining Domain for the sake of your secret to immortality."
Upon hearing this...
The candle maiden looked bewildered.
"The secret I hold?"
"That's right. You're not a true immortal, yet you've lived from the prosperous era of the Star Gods until now, and your memories often have gaps. Don't you find that strange?"
"This……"
"What Wang Yu said just now is correct. The Eye of Chaos is indeed our race's only chance to escape our fate, but this chance does not belong to me, but to you."
"I survived thanks to the guidance of the Earth Mother Goddess. Now it is time to repay her kindness, which is also the only thing I still think about."
…………
…………
Wang Yu was unaware of the conversation that took place after he left. He only felt a vague sense of strangeness but did not think about it as being related to the Candle Maiden, since his own tribulation was more important.
They found a suitable place to undergo tribulation in the Soul Refining Realm.
Then they began to make arrangements quietly.
He had already tried it and found that the "Crimson Tribulation of Immortal Burial" that could be triggered was likely feasible, and even the Ninth Tribulation could be brought down as the "Crimson Tribulation" with the help of the Chaos Eye wonder.
The Soul Refining World was truly his blessed land.
After I finish over my tribulation, can the Yin body and divine embryo continue to overcome nine tribulations in one go? However, the seventh tribulation of the Yin body is also a problem.
There are no experts of this level among the Soul Refining Natives.
If all else fails...
They can only wait until they go to the "Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races" to undergo tribulation. There are many powerful people there, which makes it easier to trigger human tribulations. Moreover, the environment is special enough that triggering the eighth or ninth tribulation should not be a problem.
After confirming the goal, Wang Yu spent three days completing all the preparatory procedures.
The eighth tribulation began silently.
The so-called "Catastrophe of Burying Immortals" is a unique calamity brought about by the special environment of this place, which is obviously related to the Great Dao cultivated by the Dao Master of this place.
When calamity strikes.
As usual, Wang Yu silently recited the "Scripture of Self-Salvation" in his mind, and saw the earth surge, pushing the array patterns he had set up directly eight hundred miles away.
The fossilized soil formed a raised stone coffin.
He was completely enveloped, a scene so intense it was as if he were being buried on the spot. A strange force rendered Wang Yu powerless, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.
Boundless death energy surged from the void, constantly eroding Wang Yu's physical body and weakening his life essence, which manifested as Wang Yu's continuous aging.
Consciousness, however, sank into the void.
Unaware of the nature of heaven and earth, ten years later, when his life force was weakened to the extreme, Wang Yu was suddenly awakened by a perfect understanding of the laws of life and death.
As the corresponding Dao Fruit automatically condensed, he casually filled the storage slot with the Dao Principles of Light, only to suddenly realize that he had almost died.
This bizarre and illogical calamity that led to the demise of immortals.
This must be a manifestation of the main force of the Burial Immortal Path undergoing tribulation. It was indeed able to threaten his life, and it was the longest tribulation Wang Yu had ever undergone!
Fortunately, the object he was placed in woke him up; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. This close call served as a reminder that one should not underestimate any calamity.
Even he can have a mishap!
He took out a large amount of precious medicine from his internal cave and began to absorb it to recover. Wang Yu also sensed the new power that re-emerged as his body recovered.
After a period of adjustment and a half-month of rest,
The path of calamity has begun once more, this time the "Chaotic Calamity" falls within Wang Yu's area of expertise; he will break through this impasse with brute force! (End of Chapter)
