Chapter 109: Breaking Through to Spirit Transformation, the Heavenly Dao Watches, a Strong Enemy Invades
You fully circulate the Boundless Longevity Art. Vast spiritual qi surges into your dantian from all around. Your Immortal-grade Thunder Spirit Root reveals itself unbidden, refining the quality of the spiritual power within you. Your cultivation begins to climb.
Your Primordial Spirit begins to comprehend the power of the laws of heaven and earth. The Three Thousand Great Daos — it is impossible for you to master them all, because that is simply unrealistic.
You can only engrave upon your heart the laws you have witnessed and felt.
The first to come is the Law of Force!
Even the Heavenly Dao, mighty as it is, could only have its body shattered before the Old Village Chief’s Law of Force!
While you are in secluded cultivation, outside, the spiritual qi within the Lingxi Sect’s sect grounds all converges toward your location. The entire sect’s spiritual qi is absorbed by you.
Many sect disciples in secluded cultivation are forced out of seclusion by this. Following the direction of the converging spiritual qi, they arrive outside the sect’s forbidden grounds.
“The Ancestor has grown stronger again.”
“Judging by this, could the Ancestor be about to break through to the Void Refinement realm?”
“Hisss! Could it be that my Spirit Stream Town is about to rise?”
In the next instant, Heavenly Lightning rumbles above the forbidden grounds. A heart-stopping aura spreads from within the Lightning Tribulation. Your Spirit Transformation Tribulation has finally arrived!
“This — the Spirit Transformation Tribulation?” The Spirit Transformation Ancestor appears in the sky, gazing at the Lightning Tribulation from afar, unable to believe it. “The Senior who shattered me with three punches — he still hasn’t broken through to Spirit Transformation!!!”
At this moment, the Spirit Transformation Ancestor’s face was full of pent-up frustration, as though a thousand years of cultivation had all been poured into a dog’s belly.
Rumble————!
The long-brewing Lightning Tribulation finally falls. The first bolt of Heavenly Lightning at the Spirit Transformation stage strikes your body directly. You sit cross-legged on the spot, both Immortal-rank cultivation arts circulating at full power, your Primordial Spirit continuing to comprehend the power of the laws. You are utterly unmoved by the Heavenly Lightning outside.
With your current late-stage Spirit Transformation physical body, the first wave of Heavenly Lightning crashing onto you brings not a trace of pain.
The Five-Nine Heavenly Tribulation of the Spirit Transformation stage — all forty-five bolts of Heavenly Lightning fall, and every one of them transforms into energy that strengthens your physical body.
“It’s over just like that?”
“Just which Ancestor is breaking through in there? How come no one has shown themselves after so long?”
“No — the thunderclouds haven’t dispersed yet. The Heavenly Tribulation isn’t over!”
You slowly exhale a breath of turbid air. Having absorbed and refined so many bolts of Heavenly Lightning, your physical body is just a hair’s breadth from breaking through to Spirit Transformation Great Perfection!
You raise your head, look up at the ever-intensifying Lightning Tribulation above, and leap into the air, charging straight into the tribulation clouds!
“Holy shit! Tribulation Crossing can be played like this?” The sect disciples watching from the sidelines are thrilled beyond measure the moment they see you charge into the tribulation clouds.
How many years has it been? This was the first time they had ever seen someone charge into the tribulation clouds of their own accord!
The worldly conception of cultivation told them that one could only passively accept the Lightning Tribulation as it fell — no one had ever dared to resist.
Because those who resisted, for the most part, died!
Having charged into the tribulation clouds, a sudden impulse surges up from the depths of your soul. It is as though you can control this Lightning Tribulation!
This thought startles you. After a moment’s thought, you choose to follow the inclination in your heart.
A wisp of the Heavenly Dao’s aura emanates from within your body. The Heavenly Lightning around you, as if encountering its own sire, instantly turns docile.
“Come!” A will issues from your Primordial Spirit. The Heavenly Lightning around you slowly draws near.
“I never imagined stealing the Authority of the Heavenly Dao would have an effect like this.” You think this to yourself, then turn your gaze to the first bolt of Heavenly Lightning that is currently condensing.
“Disperse!”
The first bolt of Heavenly Lightning, on the verge of taking shape, instantly scatters. Dense Heavenly Lightning power floods the surroundings.
With no Heavenly Lightning threatening you, you fully circulate the Heavenly Lightning Body-Refining Art, tempering your physical body.
Your physical body is comprehensively strengthened. Your five viscera and six bowels are reinforced. Even the blood flowing through your body now contains a measure of power.
As you temper your body, you feel your Martial Way cultivation actually beginning to rise as well!
Only, this rise is rather slow, far slower than the growth of your physical body.
At a certain moment, after you absorb a vast amount of Heavenly Lightning power, your physical body finally breaks through, successfully stepping into the Spirit Transformation Consummation realm!
Your Martial Way power breaks through as a result too, stepping into the one thousand one hundredth layer of the Martial Way! Worth ten years of bitter cultivation.
You do not stop. You continue absorbing the Heavenly Lightning around you, ceaselessly strengthening your physical body.
Above the Lightning Tribulation, within the void, a massive, utterly emotionless eyeball appears, fixing its gaze upon you as you temper your body.
A chill from the depths of your soul makes you instantly end your cultivation. You open your eyes, and discover the Eye of the Heavenly Dao.
With the Old Monster no longer blocking it, and having stolen a thread of the Authority of the Heavenly Dao, you have once again drawn the Heavenly Dao’s gaze.
At this moment, you feel like a thief in the act, caught by the master.
An inexplicable sense of guilt rises from the depths of your heart, making you not dare meet the Eye of the Heavenly Dao.
The Eye of the Heavenly Dao gazes at you for a long while. Just as you are about to call for the Old Monster, the Eye of the Heavenly Dao vanishes.
What vanishes along with the Eye of the Heavenly Dao is the Heavenly Tribulation!
“Phew!” You exhale a deep breath. Facing the gaze of the Heavenly Dao, you could not muster the slightest thought of resistance.
The Heavenly Dao governs all living beings, and you are one of those living beings.
Not everyone dares to resist the Heavenly Dao!
At least, with your current cultivation, you simply could not.
Forcefully suppressing the agitation in your heart, you silently sense your newly broken-through cultivation.
Early-stage Spirit Transformation spiritual power cultivation, Spirit Transformation Consummation physical body, and Primordial Spirit power that has just broken through to Spirit Transformation Consummation!
At this moment, you feel terrifyingly strong. Even if a Void Refinement realm mighty one appeared before you, you feel it would not be impossible to fight!
“Finally found you!” Not long after the Heavenly Tribulation dispersed, a group of people steps out from the void.
You frown, sizing up the party before you. Profound Heaven Holy Land disciple robes — ten early-stage Spirit Transformation cultivators, eight mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivators, five late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivators, three Spirit Transformation Great Perfection cultivators.
And — standing at the very front of the group, bringing you immense pressure — a Void Refinement realm cultivator!
“A junior who has just broken through to Spirit Transformation? And you killed Elder Lanshan?” The Void Refinement mighty one frowns, instantly losing interest in you.
You smile without a word, sizing up everyone present, inwardly calculating how to strike in order to bury every Spirit Transformation cultivator here in the shortest possible time!
