Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1631 - 758: Golden Immortal Descends, Purple Sky Immortal Thunder Tribulation! (Part 2)
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
He already knew the other’s name and origin.
Because if such a tribulation-crossing celestial immortal were to fail, then that would be the end of it. But once successful, they would be kindred spirits, so spending some effort to understand them is entirely worthwhile.
"Heavenly Immortal Jiang Weidong? An immortal I’ve never heard of, what on earth is his background?"
"Wait, could he be that Heavenly Immortal who previously acquired the legacy of the Cyan Profound Immortal Monarch?"
"It’s said that the kid went to Luoning City and even discovered three traitor Heavenly Immortals, establishing great merit."
"No way, it’s actually that lucky Heavenly Immortal? That kid has only been cultivating in the Time Sect for 200,000 years, right? Such a brief period and he’s already able to trigger the Golden Immortal Tribulation? Isn’t this a bit too far-fetched?"
"Are you trying to amuse us here? He’s just a newly ascended heavenly immortal, how could he possibly ascend to golden immortal so soon? Even jokes have a limit."
"No, no, no, I am not joking. That kid applied to me for the Tribulation Crossing Platform, saying he wants to trigger the Golden Immortal Tribulation, and he seemed absolutely confident. So I let him try, after all, we’ll know the outcome by noon tomorrow."
"Interesting, really interesting. In merely 200,000 years, he has cultivated from heavenly immortal to celestial immortal perfection. What kind of fortuitous encounter has he experienced, could it be the inheritance of an Immortal King?"
"Then let’s go take a look tomorrow. Such an immortal is a rarity throughout the ages, whether dead or alive, he will certainly be historical."
Many golden immortals were immediately intrigued.
By noon on the second day,
Jiang Fan, following the guidance, arrived at the Time Sect’s Tribulation Crossing Platform.
The entire tribulation platform floats in mid-air above the Chronological Cliff, independent of the earth and mountains, built from the Innate Time Order Divine Jade. It forms a self-contained small heaven and earth, a thousand miles in scope, completely isolated from the outer world and its mountains and rivers, forming a closed inner domain, unaffected by external spiritual qi, destiny, or external evil qi.
A thick, glass-like temporal barrier perpetually covers the whole platform area. The barrier is not a static light curtain, but a temporal screen made of countless silver-white streams of light flowing, layers upon layers extending outward for a hundred miles, isolating the internal and external flows of space-time.
The barrier wall is covered with a continuous array of flowing light Dao Patterns, the lines wrapping like flowing silk, intertwining in pale gold and moon white, imprinting the three-layer laws of tracing back time, stabilizing the heavenly heart, and buffering the tribulation power;
External cultivators can only vaguely see the light and shadow inside the platform, unable to probe with divine sense, nor can they boldly intrude to intervene in the crossing of tribulation. Only the tribulation crosser can freely enter and exit the barrier portal.
The tribulation platform consists of three-tiered steps, with the surface engraved with densely intertwined temporal Dao Patterns, stretching from the platform’s center to the barrier’s foundation.
At the center is the core lotus seat for crossing the tribulation, where the lotus seat’s patterns are the deepest. Thousands of major Dao Patterns converge here into the Circulation Temporal Grand Array, able to guide the illusions of a cultivator’s lifetime karma and stabilize the heavenly heart’s imprint;
Between the side walls of steps and the platform’s bottom, in the void’s crevices, auxiliary patterns abound—the Fate Severing Pattern, Calm Heart Pattern, and Grotto Heaven Guardian Pattern. Glimmers circulate slowly, nourishing the sparse time origin even without a cultivator crossing the tribulation, as the Dao Patterns autonomously inhale and exhale.
Inside the barrier, there exists an independent temporal sequence, where an incense stick outside corresponds to a hundred years of time flow within the platform, allowing the tribulation crosser to calmly break through heart demons, sever mundane karma.
Nearby, the suspended and solidified light bands in the void are the primal flowing lights left by ancient great powers of time, resonating and responding with the platform’s Dao Patterns and barrier patterns. When the heavenly tribulation descends, the entire barrier and thousands of Dao Patterns on the platform will illuminate simultaneously, weaving into a buffering grand array, bearing the incoming tribulation power, protecting the newly birthed Great Thousand Grotto Heaven of the cultivator.
Swish!
In the next second, Jiang Fan entered the Tribulation Crossing Platform, leaving only himself in this area.
External immortals cannot enter the interior at all.
They can only stay outside and watch.
He felt very satisfied, such a tribulation crossing land was indeed extremely safe.
Choosing the Time Sect for crossing the tribulation was indeed the right decision.
If he chose to cross the tribulation outside, who knows what kind of disaster he would face.
Swish swish swish!!!
At this moment, numerous figures instantly appeared around the Tribulation Crossing Platform.
They were undoubtedly avatars of Golden Immortals.
Though their main bodies wouldn’t personally visit here, sending an avatar over for a look was effortless.
"Is this Jiang Weidong? The immortal power within this lad is so substantial, it seems he’s truly reached Celestial Immortal Perfection. How exactly did he manage this?"
"Cyan Profound Immortal Monarch is indeed a powerful Golden Immortal, but there’s no way he left such a massive inheritance. It seems this lad certainly encountered other fortuitous encounters, otherwise, he couldn’t have cultivated so quickly."
"Even with various cultivation resources, cultivation speed couldn’t be this fast, as law comprehension still relies on personal insight, external forces offer little assistance. How did this lad master so many Heaven and Earth Laws?"
"Could this be a reincarnated Golden Immortal? Otherwise, why would he cultivate so quickly?"
"It’s unclear, but it’s also unnecessary to investigate. If he fails in crossing the tribulation, he will face destruction, and there’s no point in pursuing that. If he succeeds, he becomes a Golden Immortal, equal to us, and it becomes even more impossible to investigate secrets about him."
"Then let’s wait and see. For the Human Race and the Time Sect, if another Golden Immortal emerges, it would alleviate tremendous pressure."
"Indeed, if it’s a True Immortal, Earth Immortal, or Celestial Immortal, they can still be swiftly cultivated over time, but fostering a Golden Immortal isn’t an easy task. Countless Celestial Immortals fall at this step; achieving this is incredibly difficult."
The many Golden Immortals were discussing among themselves, all eagerly watching Jiang Fan.
Currently, the Human Race was extraordinarily difficult to endure, especially under the suppression of the Immortal Race, it was nearly impossible to move forward, with countless dying and wounded every moment.
If another Golden Immortal emerged, it would significantly alleviate the pressure on the front lines.
Of course, crossing the tribulation isn’t guaranteed success.
If failure comes, it would be nothing but empty joy.
"It’s beginning."
At this moment, Jiang Fan raised his head to the sky, mobilizing his vast immortal power, resonating with the laws of Heaven and Earth.
It seemed to instantly trigger the heavenly calamity.
The Path of Destiny in the depths of the void immediately trembled.
Rumble~~~
Suddenly, the entire void trembled madly!
Between heaven and earth, there was a deep roar, not of thunder but a low hum from the forced stirring and tearing of the Void Origin, and deep space cracks extended from the barrier’s interior to the surroundings of the Tribulation Stone Platform, emanating a gray, dead, annihilating atmosphere.
The Temporal Dao Patterns, originally glowing warmly, suddenly went crazily bright, with violent shaking golden rays, seemingly instinctively fearing the forthcoming supreme celestial punishment.
Within the depths of the void at the apex, boundless darkness frenziedly gathered, pressed, and stacked, spawning a vast, boundless black tribulation cloud from the void’s bottom, slowly rising, covering the entire barrier sky in just a few breaths, heavily drooping, barely a thousand feet from the Tribulation Stone Platform, thick as ink, pressing with such weight that the entire Dao Ruins’ airflow stagnated, light was completely devoured, and everything plunged into dead, dim silence.
This tribulation cloud was not the mundane pale dark clouds of usual celestial tribulations. It was formed from the gathering of laws of destruction of the heavens, pure and profound black, with the internal cloud constantly rolling as if containing countless collapsing star rivers and extinct epochs.
As the tribulation cloud rolled, myriad colored Dao patterns emerged from within, densely covering the entire tribulation cloud surface, crisscrossing, tangling endlessly.
There were Purple Sky Thunder Patterns representing the judgment of celestial punishment, deep purple like solidified divine blood, with sharp angular patterns, radiating the edge that tore all things; there were innate golden patterns smelting Daoist body, radiant and golden, permeating every inch of the black cloud; there were gray-black annihilation Dao patterns symbolizing the eradication of mundanity and severing causes and effects, as fine as cobwebs, interweaving between thunder patterns and golden patterns; moreover, numerous fragmented temporal Dao Patterns, bearing the fissured scars from time, continually stretching and trembling in the cloud layers.
Each Dao pattern contained extremely dense Daoist principles, rubbing and colliding, emitting a terrifying pressure of destruction. A mere strand of the tribulation cloud’s leaked air shook the protective Dao patterns on the stone platform into constant tremors, fragmented light specks bursting out from the stone crevices, collapsing suspended time remnants into nullity.
Beneath the tribulation cloud, even the air felt as heavy as lead, with the invisible Power of Heavenly Punishment fiercely locking Jiang Fan from all sides, granting no escape or retreat.
This was the exclusive Purple Sky Immortal Thunder Tribulation for Celestial Immortals verifying as Golden Immortals, where Thunder Core nurtured the immortal gold path origin, encased in Nine Heavens Purple Cloud Celestial Punishment Power, designed to cleanse Celestial Immortals’ mortal-dependent roots, refining eternal immortal golden attribute.
