The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 317: 254: Continue Simulation: Thunder Tribulation

Indeed, it could be said that Pei Xuanjing has already stepped half a foot into the Spirit Realm. Even Pei Xuanjing feels that, if he is willing, he only needs to resort to the moment of thunderstorm one day, and freely release his divine soul, to directly incite the Thunder Tribulation.

Of course, how powerful the provoked Thunder Tribulation would be and whether he can survive it, Pei Xuanjing has no certainty.

From a high perspective, many previous puzzles were solved, making his understanding of the Cultivation Path even clearer.

The way of cultivation: Mortal Realm, Spirit Realm, and Immortal Realm.

This kind of divisions is not arbitrarily divided according to someone’s preference, but is based on a rough basic understanding.

In Pei Xuanjing’s view, let alone the unreachable Immortal Realm that no one has ever touched, the division of the Mortal Realm and the Spirit Realm is differentiated because they represent almost completely different realms, symbolizing the transformation of life, or evolution.

In the Mortal Realm, regardless of how martial artists in this realm cultivate, polish their bodies, condense True Qi, or nourish their spirits, these only involve basic cultivation and do not touch on the essence of cultivation:

transformation.

Just like Pei Xuanjing at this moment, his divine soul has already undergone extreme transformation and is just a breath away from becoming a Yin Spirit.

This means that he has already stepped onto the path of evolution compared to other martial artists who have not yet touched the Spirit Realm. Even if it’s just a small step, this qualitative change is hard for those martial artists to reach, they can’t even imagine it.

The so-called a step’s difference is as vast as heaven and earth itself.

After his divine soul was strengthened and transformed, Pei Xuanjing was radiant and spirited. Even after going through a life simulation, he wasn’t tired. He no longer needed a rest to recover like before after running one life simulation.

After calming his emotions, Pei Xuanjing decisively launched the second life simulation.

He was very much looking forward to this life simulation. He wanted to see whether he could incite the Thunder Tribulation in the life simulation after his divine soul returned to enhanced transformation and even survive the Thunder Tribulation.

[Life Simulation Starts: ]

Age 33: You continue to cultivate in Baiyun Temple. While you were using thunder to refine and spiritualize your body, a surge of thunder unexpectedly gathered. The original Lightning Attraction Device didn’t work and the thunder power directly pierced your body and targeted your divine soul.

Caught off guard, your divine soul was infused with destructive power by thunder and began to slowly transform.

At this moment, you finally understood that this was the Thunder Tribulation to break through the Spirit Realm, the transformation of the divine soul into Yin Spirit in the Refining Spirit path.

Although you were terrified, you understood that there were no other methods at this point. You could only calmly operate your divine soul to try to overcome the tribulation.

The thunder contained endless destructive and creative forces, constantly destroying and repairing your divine soul, making you alternate between wanting to live and wanting to die. At one moment, you felt as if your divine soul had been nourishing in a hot spring. At another, you felt your divine soul was undergoing constant tempering of alternating cold ice and intense fire.

You didn’t know how long it took, but your divine soul seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. The damage of the thunder power on you was getting smaller and smaller.

In the end, the wind stopped, the rain dispersed, and the thunder disappeared.

A Yin Spirit that looked exactly like you appeared.

You surprisingly survived the first Thunder Tribulation with your willpower, transformed your divine soul into a Yin Spirit, and fully stepped into the Spirit Realm.

From then on, you are the first cultivator to step into the Spirit Realm, breaking the shackles of Heaven and Earth and transforming the impossible into possible, after thousands of years since the Tang Dynasty.

Although you broke through by a stroke of luck, your foundation was severely damaged. You needed a considerable amount of time to recover and mend your foundation.

After instructing Yu Zhenzi and Pang Hong and leaving some messages explaining your situation, you began to close yourself off from the world.

Age 34: You are in seclusion and oblivious to worldly affairs. However, some information about you inevitably spread out, and many people are guessing in the dark whether you are about to break through.

Age 35: Even without your existence, everything is still proceeding methodically. The formation of the True Martial Sect is activated, the essence Qi of Heaven and Earth is rising, and Heaven and Earth are beginning to recover. Age 36: Everyone is in seclusion, and the world derails into a strange calm. You are still in seclusion. The absence of you for such a long time makes many people believe that you have touched the opportunity to break through. Moreover, many people think that with your talents, you will likely be the first to step into the Spirit Realm after Heaven and Earth recover. This undoubtedly makes many people nervous. They don’t like a powerful figure like you suppressing them after breaking through.

Age 41: The Elder of the Blood Demon Sect of the Demonic Cult tried to forcibly break through but failed. This made his strength reach an extremely strong level. He had a deep relationship with Yang Tinghe and hated you very much. But he dared not take action before due to his fear of your strength, and could only grumble about it.

At this time, although he failed, his enhanced strength made him want to take revenge on you. He was also worried that you will pose a threat to him once you break through. He decided to try and kill you directly to regain the Blood God Blade, the treasure of the Blood Demon Sect.

Three months later, that mighty man of the Blood Demon Sect of the Demonic Cult sneaked into Tiandu alone, hid his identity, and came to your cultivation site, intending to kill you by surprise.

At this time, not only had your foundation not fully recovered, but cultivators on the path of Refining Spirit inherently had weaker combat power. You had a fierce fight with the attacker. Although you killed him, you also aggravated your old injury in the process, and in the end, both of you died together.

[End of this life.]

“This…”

Looking at the result of this life simulation, Pei Xuanjing didn’t know what to say for a while.

Although he had indeed incited Thunder Tribulation in this life simulation as he had expected and had persevered through it with his formidable willpower, the cost to him had been huge. His foundation had even been damaged.

Considering the transformation strength of his divine soul now, after enduring the terrifying Thunder Tribulation, he was still not truly recovered even after many years of secluded cultivation. This showed how frightening the Thunder Tribulation was, how horrific its power was, and how much damage it had left on his cultivation foundation.

It was because of this that most of the time, he was in seclusion recovering from his wounds and missed many events perhaps in this life simulation.

What left him speechless the most was the way he died in this life simulation. He was ambushed in the end by a strong man of the Blood Demon Cult whom he had already not taken seriously, and eventually, they both died together..
