Chapter 68

If you can't overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, you will only perish!

Chapter 68 If you can't overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, you will only perish!

Chen Jing didn't immediately start cultivating. Suddenly, the system's words from that day echoed in his mind: "System upgrade."

He had already witnessed a system upgrade once before, and the benefits he received that time were enormous.

Now, hearing this again, Chen Jing can tell that the system will need to be upgraded later, but he is clearly not qualified for the upgrade at present.

Quasi-saint? Saint?

Chen Jing didn't know where he was headed, but he already had boundless motivation.

Furthermore, after witnessing this breathtaking battle between quasi-saints, Chen Jing had only one goal in mind: to forge ahead relentlessly.

He did not want to die in vain like those who perished in the Quasi-Saint War; he wanted to take control of his own destiny.

To take control of one's own destiny, one needs formidable strength.

Having recovered to his peak condition, Chen Jing made no time to waste. A large mass of merit appeared and, under his guidance, was injected into his body.

Immediately after the merits entered the body, the primordial spirit accelerated its operation and began to refine these merits.

Thirty million merits.

Fifty million merits.

Eighty million merits.

The wealthy and powerful Chen Jing showed no remorse whatsoever, and poured large clumps of merit into his body.

Meanwhile, his primordial spirit cultivation level was also skyrocketing during this process.

If absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was like dripping water into the primordial spirit of this late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal...

So, refining merit now is like pouring water into your primordial spirit from a large basin.

The primordial spirit power of a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal is also rapidly advancing towards the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

While Chen Jing was in seclusion, cultivating diligently, the four emperors of the demon race had already returned to the Demon Race Heavenly Court.

Everyone's face was gloomy.

The dawn of the demon race's dominance was extinguished by that dark shadow.

"Once I find the person who stole the Primordial Purple Qi, I will grind him to dust and make his soul suffer torment every day, so that he can neither live nor die."

"Donghuang Taiyi said fiercely."

The other three emperors did not react to Taiyi's words.

In their view, only those ancient relics reincarnated from chaos would dare to do such a thing right under their noses.

Only they have that kind of ability and that kind of courage.

Their attention was focused on those ancient relics from the primordial era.

However, they did not expect that the person acting right under their noses was just a second-generation disciple of the Daoist sect at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Inside that narrow cave, Chen Jing continued to diligently extract merit points, inject them into his body, and then continuously refine them.

And so, time slowly passed, and the primordial world returned to calm once more.

Five thousand years have passed just like that.

After accumulating two hundred million merits, the late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal's primordial spirit cultivation finally broke through due to this frenzied behavior.

Peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

With a flower blooming at the ninth grade and the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, such cultivation would probably make one the number one person below the Quasi-Saint level in the prehistoric world.

Chen Jing awoke from his seclusion and sensed that his primordial spirit had grown stronger with the breakthrough in his cultivation level.

His eyes grew brighter and brighter. He was confident that if he encountered the Taoist Ran Deng again at this moment, he could definitely keep him here.

Even though he has cultivated at this level for millions of years, don't forget that Chen Jing is not just a simple peak Great Luo Golden Immortal.

He also possesses terrifying physical strength.

Chen Jing stood up and walked out of the narrow cave.

Looking out, he saw that the valley was filled with blooming flowers and chirping birds, a joyful scene that perfectly reflected his mood.

Reaching the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm means you're only one step away from becoming a Quasi-Saint.

However, this one step has blocked countless cultivators in the prehistoric world.

Of the thousands of soldiers crossing a single-plank bridge, how many actually make it across?

At this level, further advancement is no longer something that can be achieved simply by accumulating magical power, or rather, it is no longer so much related to magical power.

Breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm only allows one to gain a preliminary understanding of the primordial laws of the Heavenly Dao. To break through to the Quasi-Saint realm, one must deepen one's understanding of the Dao beyond the initial comprehension.

A Great Luo Golden Immortal can only use the power of the laws of heaven and earth in a simple way, while a Quasi-Saint begins to comprehend the Dao, and the Dao is bestowed upon him, thus becoming a Quasi-Saint.

At this point, it's a process of enlightenment, and accumulating merit can no longer play a significant role.

After staying in the valley for a while, Chen Jingjing took to the air.

After quickly determining the direction, it flew towards the East China Sea.

After seizing the Primordial Purple Qi at that time, driven by the frenzied power of his entire body and physical strength, Chen Jing didn't even know how far he had run.

Now, returning to the East China Sea is naturally a long journey.

After breaking through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Chen Jing was in high spirits and flew towards the East Sea. Now, he needed more insights.

Chen Jingfei flew and walked around, and only now is he truly traveling through this prehistoric continent.

Looking at the myriad races of the primordial world, Chen Jing also began to understand some of the truths within them.

And so, after hundreds of years, Chen Jing finally returned to his cave dwelling.

Mo Lin was still dozing off there, but Chen Jing could clearly feel that his aura was much stronger than when he left.

Although I am somewhat lazy, I am not unambitious.

However, his nominal disciple, Ruoxue, was meditating cross-legged there.

Having learned from the previous incident, Mo Lin naturally wouldn't repeat the same mistake. Mo Lin woke up just before Chen Jing returned to the cave.

He quickly stood up and said, "Greetings, Master!"

Chen Jing waved his hand lightly and headed towards where Ruoxue was cultivating.

After thousands of years, this girl has advanced from the mid-stage of Earth Immortal to the late-stage of Heaven Immortal. It seems she will soon undergo tribulation and attempt to break through to the Profound Immortal realm.

Unlike other races in the primordial world, humans are born with human form and do not need to undergo the tribulation of transformation.

However, although they do not need to undergo the Transformation Tribulation, they do need to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation, which is different from other races.

From Human Immortal to Earth Immortal to Celestial Immortal, and even to higher realms, the human race must undergo the test of Heavenly Tribulation for each major breakthrough.

This can be seen as a test from Heaven for the human race, just like the transformation tribulations of other races.

If one can survive the Heavenly Tribulation, then one can advance to a higher level and continue to cultivate at a deeper level, living a carefree and unrestrained life.

If one fails to survive the heavenly tribulation, there is only one outcome: death.

Those who are lucky escape from the heavenly tribulation and are reincarnated to cultivate again; those who are unlucky perish both in body and soul under the heavenly tribulation.

This is also the order of Heaven. All races in the primordial world, including the human race, are the same; no one is born to be favored.

Seeing Ruoxue cultivating, Chen Jing did not disturb her.

However, he walked up to Mo Lin, directly injected a ball of merit into his body, and then ordered him to cultivate.
