Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 972 – Cheng Dao (1)

Furthermore, because he had taken the wrong path and raised his cultivation level along the way, he had missed out on a lot of ways to deal with the lightning tribulation. If not for the Soul Splitting Gourd s and the avatars that he had gained from Yang Junshan’s help, Daoist Ziyuan would have been able to die in front of the lightning tribulation.

Originally, according to’s plan, she wanted this body avatar to be used aool to share in the lightning tribulation, and she had even prepared to sacrifice this body avatar.

However, when the Taoist Eastflow’s heavenly tribulation descended, because Yang Junshan had turned the Five Elements Lightning Light’s array to absorb a thread of the lightning source from the Taoist Eastflow’s life origin soul, the Purple Crystal Thunder Light Stone, which was the core of the lightning formation, was tainted with the Taoist Eastflow’s primordial spirit aura. Thus, when the lightning tribulation descended, it attracted a small amount of the lightning tribulation.

Even though the small scale split of lightning tribulation was extremely weak against Taoist Eastflow’s heavenly tribulation, it still gave rise to a new thought for Daoist Ziyuan, who was observing the process of Taoist Eastflow’s heavenly tribulation.

If he used a method similar to that of the Taoist Eastflow’s, and borrowing Yang Junshan’s Five Elements Lightning Light’s power to resist the power of tribulation lightning which had split apart in part, would it be possible to preserve the avatar that was originally destined to be sacrificed?

The cultivation base of this external embodiment of Daoist Ziyuan had already risen to the Qingyun Realm, and under the premise that Daoist Ziyuan had not stepped into the Lightning Calamity, the cultivation level of this external embodiment had almost reached the pinnacle.

No one knew better than her about the meaning of this external body avatar. If it was said that before this, Ziyuan was almost the lowest existence amongst the cultivators in the Huagai’s field, and was prided upon by the Dao Realm Patriarchs s of various large sects aarget, then after obtaining the external body avatar, her strength would rank amongst the best amongst cultivators of the same cultivation level.

If the avatar was preserved within the lightning tribulation, then the power that Daoist Ziyuan would possess after stepping into the Lightning Calamity would definitely be able to run rampant amongst the Daoists of the same level!

But when Daoist Ziyuan informed Yang Junshan of her plans with great hope, the expression on Yang Junshan’s face became extremely stiff, and she did not even care about the other party’s identity, and immediately rejected the idea: “That’s impossible! How can the power of heavenly tribulation be hidden from the will of the world! ”

Seeing that Daoist Ziyuan had a smile that was not a smile on her face, Yang Junshan had no choice but to slow her tone and say: “Moreover, this junior’s formation was already surrounded by danger from the lightning tribulation that flowed out of Daofather Eastflow. This junior will not take the safety of the entire Yang family as a child’s play.”

“Don’t worry, this noble one isn’t muddleheaded enough to place the hope of transcending tribulation on your Yang family’s Great Guardian Formation. Furthermore, even if you were willing, this noble one would not dare to play tricks against the will of heaven and earth. This noble one’s avatar only wants to borrow the strength of your formation to weaken the lightning tribulation slightly.

Seeing that Yang Junshan still had a difficult expression on his face, Daoist Ziyuan said in a bad mood, “Don’t worry, this sovereign naturally won’t let your Madame Yang take the risk for nothing. Regardless of whether this incarnation can be saved or not, as long as this sovereign can pass through the tribulation of lightning, I will naturally give you the benefits.”

Yang Junshan was instantly beaming with joy, and asked without restraint: “This, this, what are the benefits?”

Daoist Ziyuan was both annoyed and amused. “What, are you afraid this sovereign will go back on his word after I pass the tribulation?”

Yang Junshan immediately said with a smile after getting hit on his mind, “How is that possible? If it’s not something that Senior has carefully built up, with the resources that you’ve accumulated, this Sky Calamity will naturally be safe.”

Daoist Ziyuan snorted, she was too lazy to waste her breath with him, and said: “A spirit river, what do you think? Furthermore, once my original body has passed through the tribulation of lightning, if this avatar remains, I will still be in charge of the Yuzhou and will help you in times of danger. ”

Yang Junshan was not sure if the incarnation could survive or not, but he knew that he had to obtain the benefits first. However, he did not believe that there was a spirit river and could not help but to say, “A spirit river, is it true?”

“I discovered a hidden place when I was travelling with a sister. If I had passed through the thunder tribulation, then I would have gone to the Foreign Lands and there would be no possibility of going there ever again, but I’m afraid that it would not be easy for you to obtain that spirit river. If you want to extract a spirit river from outside the Yuzhou, without the assistance of an extremely outstanding Spiritual Seeker, I’m afraid that you would have to pay a huge amount of spirit vein energy to use it.”

Yang Junshan automatically ignored the other content, and asked: “Where exactly is it?”

“In the Yanzhou …”

Yang Junshan knew that Daoist Ziyuan had similarly received his Lightning Calamity, but he did not expect it to come so quickly, nor did he expect it to start in such a manner, to the point where the entire Yang family had fallen into an unprecedented crisis.

In fact, only then did Yang Junshan know that Daoist Ziyuan was being plotted against!

Observing the thunder tribulation was a very beneficial thing for many cultivators. However, for cultivators that were facing the thunder tribulation, it was intolerable for them to be spied on by others while they were in the midst of the thunder tribulation.

Even if they had managed to survive it, they would at least be heavily injured and on the verge of death. At this time, it could be said that cultivators were at their weakest since they had already reached the Dao Realm. If there were other Dao Realm cultivators who risked the chance to communicate with the remnants of the heavenly tribulation, it would be no different from a death match for the cultivators who had survived the tribulation.

Therefore, for the majority of Huagai’s field Dao cultivators, they would either pass the tribulation in a secret location known only to themselves, or be protected by a trusted person like Daofather Eastflow. Only then would they be able to guarantee their safety after passing the tribulation.

For the same reason, if one wanted to have the chance to observe the tribulation process of a Dao Realm Patriarchs, they would have to be people that the patriarch trusted the most, or people who could not threaten his safety after the tribulation.

As for the latter, it would be very difficult for cultivators below the Dao Realm to threaten the survivors of the tribulation. However, if one’s cultivation level was too low, then it would be impossible to gain enlightenment and understanding from the Heavenly Tribulation. Therefore, perhaps the only person who could gain any benefits from it would be a True Supreme Force cultivator like Yang Junshan, who had stepped into the Dao Realm.

If not for Taoist Eastflow being affected by the origin of the lightning tribulation within his primordial spirit, the chance to observe the lightning tribulation would not have fell onto Yang Junshan’s body.

Even so, taking into account the fact that Yang Junshan had previously displayed strength comparable to a Dao Realm expert, the Taoist Eastflow had still used the power of the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi to attack his Taihang Realm and forcefully forced to come in. It was possible that he had secretly observed Yang Junshan and only managed to come to an understanding after he had been ambushed by other Dao Realm experts after the thunder tribulation in the Taoist Eastflow.

It was true that there were many risks involved, but when he thought about it, he realized that it was only a single avatar, and it would be able to withstand twenty to thirty percent of the original body’s power of lightning tribulation. Furthermore, Yang Junshan’s formation was only used to assist, and not to forcefully block the lightning tribulation.

Furthermore, not only could Yang Junshan observe the lightning tribulation a second time, he would also be able to obtain the benefits of a spirit river after completing the mission. This, coupled with the fact that it was very likely that Daoist Ziyuan would leave behind an external body to assume command over the Yuzhou after going to the Foreign Lands, this was killing several birds with one stone.

However, Yang Junshan missed one thing out of excitement, and that was Daoist Ziyuan’s enemy!

It could be said that she did not forget, but when everyone was focusing on the possibility of encountering danger after the lightning tribulation of Daoist Ziyuan, her enemy ignited her lightning tribulation in an unexpected manner!

Even though at this time, Daoist Ziyuan had already completed ninety-nine percent of the preparation for the heavenly tribulation, when the heavenly tribulation was detonated in a strange manner in advance, Daoist Ziyuan still appeared to be panicking a little, let alone Yang Junshan who was not completely prepared yet!

The boundless will of heaven and earth was brewing within the tribulation clouds, likrimordial giant who had been startled, and was currently venting her anger on the tiny Daoist Ziyuan on the ground.

However, the Heaven Calamity Cloud in the sky was several times less powerful than the one that Taoist Eastflow used to cause the lightning tribulation!

But to Yang Junshan, what difference was there between a calamity that would end up being annihilated and something so big?!

“Senior, what’s going on? This junior hasn’t even made his preparations yet, how did you trigger the lightning tribulation?”

Yang Junshan panicked and ran to the front of Ziyuan’s body as his avatar, only to discover that his face was even uglier than his own.

“Someone ambushed the Opening Spirit School, forcing this sovereign to take action and trigger the thunder tribulation!”

Ziyuan’s incarnation gritted her teeth as she said, “My tracks have been discovered. Other than trying to trigger the Lightning Calamity ahead of time, they also want to separate the alliance between this sovereign and my incarnation. Now, they can only fight on their own!”

Yang Junshan lost his voice: “How is that possible? To be able to force senior to take action, he must be a Dao Realm existence. How could the person who ambushed senior be spared from the tribulation lightning?”

Ziyuan’s incarnation said worriedly, “I am too far away from this noble one, so I have no way of knowing the details, but it’s true that the lightning tribulation arrived earlier than expected, so I can only endure it. I am prepared to bring over thirty percent of my lightning tribulation to you, so try your best to help me, even if you have to destroy this avatar.

Yang Junshan knew that the power that the original body of Daoist Ziyuan could unleash when he joined hands with his avatar was definitely not as simple as just adding one extra pill to one another. Now that the original body was about to leave the original body, someone had forced Ziyuan to ignite his lightning tribulation ahead of time, not only to disrupt’s plans, but also to separate her original body from his avatar, increasing the probability of him failing his tribulation.

If the original body allowed the lightning tribulation to be too powerful, destroying the avatar before the lightning tribulation passed, then the remaining lightning tribulation would not disappear, but would be reapplied onto the original body instead. When the original body joined forces with the avatar, the original body would naturally let the power of the lightning tribulation slowly pass through the avatar, thus allowing the avatar to fully utilize the power of the lightning tribulation.

However, in this situation, if the true body was separated from the avatar, and the Tribulation Lightning was also separated, then how could the original body judge the avatar’s endurance?

This would lead to more damage. Even before the divine tribulation finished, the original body would still have to bear the full force of the thunder tribulation. If the original body lost its true form, the original body would not be able to withstand the complete thunder tribulation.

Now, Ziyuan wanted to bring thirty percent of this noble one’s heavenly tribulation over, which meant that Ziyuan had already decided to sacrifice herself to protect this noble one. The key now was whether or not Yang Junshan had the confidence to make Ziyuan’s avatar survive the thunder tribulation until the very end.

Yang Junshan didn’t have time to think, he had already reached out his hand towards the sky!
