Chapter 953 Red Lotus Breakthrough!

"Heavenly Tribulation"

Honglian sensed the power of the Netherworld Tribulation locking onto her, knowing that this was the brewing of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation.

Her expression was calm, without sadness or joy, her mind focused on the newly formed nascent soul in her dantian.

After a cultivator completes the step of breaking through the core and emerging into the nascent soul, they can take advantage of the time during the tribulation to transform their core-forming power into nascent soul power through the nascent soul spirit body.

Honglian was well-prepared for this step, so she was neither impatient nor flustered, and proceeded with ease.

"Zizzi-"

Inside and outside Yangming Mountain, all the cultivators who looked at the tribulation clouds brewing in the sky felt a terrifying divine might and an invisible pressure.

Lu Changsheng led Lu Wangshu, Lu Qingshan, Chu Qingyi and the others away from Yangming Peak to avoid being affected by the calamity energy and the aftershocks of the heavenly tribulation.

"Is this the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation?"

Arriving at another mountain peak, Lu Qingshan gazed at the ominous clouds gathering in the sky, feeling a sense of suffocation.

I deeply understand the gap between Core Formation and Nascent Soul.

No wonder Master has never dared to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

After shattering the core and forming the nascent soul, one still faces two major tribulations: the Heavenly Tribulation and the Inner Demon Tribulation.

If there is even the slightest mistake in this process, one will be reduced to ashes under the heavenly tribulation, dying and disappearing.

Time passed little by little.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, within the churning and surging tribulation clouds, streaks of purple-blue heavenly lightning condensed, resembling roaring dragons, baring their fangs and claws, terrifying and awe-inspiring.

Inside the cave on Yangming Peak, Honglian, sitting cross-legged, sensed that the heavenly tribulation had finished brewing and was about to descend.

She gently raised her hand, and the [Nine Abyss Black Tortoise Armor] flew down onto her graceful and beautiful body, adding to her heroic and dashing appearance.

Immediately afterwards, the Five Elements Magnetic Mountain above his head shot into the sky.

She wants to break through to the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage, so she naturally cannot passively endure the Heavenly Tribulation here.

"Boom boom boom——"

The Heavenly Tribulation seemed to be enraged by Honglian's actions, and lightning flashed and rumbled, with streaks of purple-blue lightning falling and tearing through the sky.

"The Heavenly Tribulation has begun!"

Although separated by a large array, the view was blurry and indistinct.

However, the cultivators who had stopped outside Yangming Mountain noticed this heavenly tribulation immediately.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator like Yuanqi Zhenjun could vaguely sense that the power of Honglian's Heavenly Tribulation far surpassed that of himself.

"So he really intends to break through to the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage?"

Inside Yangming Mountain, when Bai Zhaozhao saw the red lotus soaring into the sky, a fiery red nascent soul spirit, embracing the Vermilion Bird Seal and surrounded by nine peach blossoms, appeared in her crown chakra, realizing that she was about to attempt to break through to the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage.

Bai Zhaozhao was not surprised that Honglian was attempting to break through to the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage.

Given Honglian's combat prowess in the Great Dream Immortal City and her status as Yangming Zhenjun's Daoist partner, it's perfectly normal for her to attempt to break through to the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul is also divided into three, six, and nine grades.

By passing through the first two Heavenly Tribulations and absorbing the Qi of Heaven, one can condense a low-grade Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.

Compared to Bai Zhaozhao's calm and indifferent demeanor, Ayouduo, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, was visibly shaken and horrified when faced with Honglian's attempt to break through to the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage.

For a Nascent Soul cultivator like her, the Earthly Nascent Soul stage was already the limit, a luxury she could only dream of.

The concept of the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul exists only in casual conversations and ancient texts.

When Lu Changsheng promised her the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, she just listened and didn't really take it to heart.

Seeing Honglian now, her master's public Daoist partner was attempting to break through to the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage, Ayouduo couldn't help but feel a mix of envy and anticipation.

In the future, under the nourishment of the Lord's Dragon Emperor Origin, my Nascent Soul spirit body may be able to advance to the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage!

"Father, won't Senior Honglian be in danger doing this?"

Looking at the red lotus whose nascent soul had left its body, Lu Wangshu couldn't help but feel nervous and worried.

Previously, she had asked her father about the probability of Senior Honglian breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Her father told her it was a sure thing.

But now, seeing the terrifying Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation that could annihilate her with a single wisp of energy, Senior Red Lotus not only allowed the tribulation to bombard her but also released her Nascent Soul spirit to absorb the energy of the Heavenly Dao. She couldn't help but feel nervous and worried.

“The Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul is inherently defying the heavens; how could it be simple or easy?” Lu Changsheng said softly.

Although he survived the Nine Heavens Tribulation with his Nascent Soul spirit body.

But the process was dangerous, as he knows all too well.

If it weren't for the [Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone], even he wouldn't have been able to easily overcome the Nine Heavens Tribulation.

"However, the first three heavenly tribulations are not dangerous for Honglian."

Lu Changsheng had great confidence in Honglian.

The opponent not only possessed a spiritual embryo body with profound foundations, having perfected the Nascent Soul Secret Technique with the help of lightning-struck Fusang wood, but also had his Nine Abyss Xuanwu Armor, Five Elements Yuan Magnetic Mountain, as well as his natal spiritual treasure forged from lightning-struck Fusang wood, several calamity-resolving treasures, and superior spiritual pills.

In terms of external conditions, they have far surpassed what he had at the beginning.

Lu Wangshu nodded slightly, but her face was still full of tension.

As expected, the lightning crackled and exploded, but did not cause much damage to Honglian.

She stood gracefully and motionless, using the heavenly tribulation to temper her physical body, magical power, and divine soul, while absorbing the energy of the heavenly Dao.

When the second bolt of heavenly lightning struck, Honglian's magical power grew even stronger. She unleashed her Nascent Soul Divine Power, and a Vermilion Bird materialized and coiled around her body to buffer the heavenly lightning and absorb the energy of the Heavenly Dao.

"A Nascent Soul Divine Power! This city lord's wife is indeed a Nascent Soul True Monarch who has undergone a re-cultivation!"

Seeing the divine power that Honglian was using from a distance, Bai Zhaozhao immediately recognized that it was a Nascent Soul level divine power.

The fact that someone can use Nascent Soul level divine abilities when they have just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and have not yet passed the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation suggests that the other party is a Nascent Soul True Monarch who has been rebuilt!
As for cultivating Nascent Soul-level supernatural abilities during the Core Formation stage, although it exists, it is impossible to do so with such skill and naturalness.

In particular, Honglian's tribulation process gave her a sense of ease and mastery.

This is a state of mind that a Core Formation cultivator could never possess!

"Reincarnation to start over, or starting over severely injured?"

Bai Zhaozhao murmured to herself as she thought of the rumors and news about the couple in the Great Dream Immortal City.

She felt that Yangming Zhenjun, the Lord of Dameng City, and Honglian were all shrouded in a mysterious mist, making it difficult for her to see through them.

The second lightning tribulation gradually dissipated, revealing that the Red Lotus's magical power was somewhat disordered.

However, she was well-prepared for her mission to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Lu Changsheng stuffed all the rare pills and top-grade spiritual items that the kind people had given her into her hands, so that she could use them to recover her condition when she was undergoing tribulation.

Without hesitation, Honglian immediately swallowed a fourth-tier pill.

Then, he took out a treasure that could transform calamity and protected the nascent soul to prevent it from being damaged during the process of absorbing the Qi of Heaven.

The most likely outcome when attempting to break through to the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage is damage to the Nascent Soul's spiritual body!

Once the nascent soul is damaged, at best the foundation of one's Dao will be damaged, affecting subsequent tribulations; at worst, the tribulation will fail, resulting in death and the dissipation of one's Dao!
This is why many people dare not attempt to achieve the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage.

The third heavenly tribulation descended, and with the power reduced by the tribulation-transforming treasure, Honglian successfully passed through it, but her pearl crown was damaged and her black hair was disheveled.

When the fourth heavenly tribulation descended, the tribulation-transforming treasure protecting the Red Lotus Nascent Soul spirit body shattered directly, riddled with cracks.

Honglian immediately offered up her second tribulation-transforming treasure and threw out a nascent soul artifact to nourish her nascent soul body.

The fifth and sixth steps.
The power of the heavenly tribulation increases with each level.

In order to absorb the energy of the Heavenly Dao, Honglian's three treasures for overcoming tribulations were all damaged and destroyed when she reached the sixth Heavenly Tribulation.

Several scorch marks and wear were also visible on the Nine Abyss Black Tortoise Armor and the Yuan Magnetic Five Elements Mountain on his body.

Fortunately, she possessed the natal spiritual treasure, the Thunderfire Vermilion Bird Seal, forged from lightning-struck Fusang wood. Her nascent soul was completely unharmed and even received further nourishment from the source of thunder and fire.

"It has reached its limit."

Honglian retracted the much-grown Nascent Soul spirit into her body, swallowed several pills, and exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

Being able to absorb the Heavenly Dao Qi of the sixth Heavenly Tribulation is already the limit she can currently withstand, thanks to the power of external objects.

If she were to covet the Heavenly Dao Qi of the seventh Heavenly Tribulation, her nascent soul would inevitably be damaged, resulting in a net loss.

Honglian was very cautious about the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, unwilling to take risks, and chose to play it safe.

"So you finally retrieved the Nascent Soul spirit body?"

Bai Zhaozhao was terrified when she witnessed Honglian undergoing her tribulation.

To break through to the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage, one must allow the Nascent Soul spirit body, which has shattered its core and transformed into a Nascent Soul, to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation and absorb the Qi of the Heavenly Dao.

This process is extremely dangerous.

Even among the top forces in the Central Region, those who can break through to the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage are top-tier geniuses, existences at the level of Holy Sons.

Those who can successfully absorb the Qi of Heaven and condense the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul are the sect leaders or cult leaders of the five great mystical sects, and are expected to reach the late Nascent Soul stage.

A cultivator like Honglian, who can withstand the Six Heavenly Tribulations and absorb the Qi of the Heavenly Dao, is extremely rare, even in the Central Region, and is enough to cause a huge sensation.

After today, the name of Yangming Zhenjun's Daoist partner "Li Muwan" will likely be known to countless Nascent Soul cultivators and powerful forces.

Bai Zhaozhao never expected that her impulsive trip to the Jiang Kingdom would not only lead her to learn about Bai Xi's bloodline but also to encounter an extraordinary individual like Yangming Zhenjun.

They also saw a top-tier cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage undergoing the Six Heavenly Tribulations and absorbing the Qi of the Heavenly Dao.

"A great calamity is also a great era. Now that the great calamity is approaching, the golden age is also quietly arriving, and many heroes have emerged to write a glorious chapter."

Bai Zhaozhao murmured to herself, recalling the sect's explanation of the great calamity.

Every great upheaval is inevitably followed by a glorious golden age.

Every great era is bound to be accompanied by great turmoil.

Over the years, she has seen many chosen ones and heard news of many secret realms and caves falling from the primordial chaos into the present world.

However, the appearance of Yangming Zhenjun and a top-level Nascent Soul cultivator like "Li Muwan" in such a remote place as Jiang Kingdom was beyond all her knowledge and experience.

Lu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Honglian retract her nascent soul.

Although Honglian's Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation was slightly weaker than his Heavenly Tribulation.

But he withstood nine heavenly tribulations and knew the power of each one.

The seventh heavenly tribulation was far more powerful than the sixth, even cracking his natal bone.

Even if Honglian survives her current condition, she will be damaged, which will affect her subsequent condition.

"Rumble--"

The seventh heavenly tribulation descended, as if it were the end of the world.

Holding the Thunderfire Vermilion Bird Seal, Honglian unleashed her divine power, with a massive Vermilion Bird coiling around her, forming a boundless sea of ​​fire, like a goddess from the heavens, resisting the heavenly tribulation.

Lightning crackled wildly, arcs of electricity ripped outwards, and flames filled the air, turning the world into a chaotic mix of light and shadow.

Apart from a few people like Lu Changsheng, Bai Zhaozhao, and Ayouduo, the other cultivators couldn't see it clearly, or even look at it directly.

A moment later, the lightning dissipated, and Honglian staggered, relying on the Five Elements Magnetic Mountain, the Nine Abyss Black Tortoise Armor, the Thunderfire Vermilion Bird Seal, and the nine peach blossoms that accompanied her spiritual embryo to successfully overcome the ordeal.

She quickly swallowed several pills, regulated her breathing, and awaited the eighth heavenly tribulation.

Under the eighth heavenly tribulation, the Five Elements Magnetic Mountain, a spiritual treasure, showed obvious damage with several gaps.

The final tribulation not only damaged the Five Elements Magnetic Mountain, but also caused several charred cracks in Lu Changsheng's Nine Abyss Black Tortoise Armor, indicating significant damage.

This magical armor showed some wear and tear when Yun Wanshang underwent her tribulation years ago.

Afterwards, during Lu Changsheng's Nascent Soul Tribulation and repeated battles, it suffered considerable minor damage.

Now, under the tribulation of the Red Lotus, it has finally suffered obvious damage and needs to be repaired.

Lu Changsheng didn't feel too sorry for him.

I feel that this magical artifact has already demonstrated its effectiveness.

"Success!"

When Lu Wangshu saw that Honglian had successfully survived the heavenly tribulation, he was overjoyed and excited, and danced with joy.

Although her relationship with Honglian was just so-so, and they weren't particularly close, she was still overjoyed and proud to see that Honglian had successfully overcome her tribulation.

Our family is about to have a second Nascent Soul True Monarch!

"Only the inner demon tribulation remains. With Master's abilities, there should be no problem."

Before the mountain gate, Lu Lingxiao, who was operating the mountain gate formation, had bright eyes. He saw the tribulation clouds in the sky dissipate and a vortex that looked like an endless abyss began to condense. He knew that his master had passed the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation.

With his master's methods and the identity of a reincarnated cultivator, overcoming the tribulation of inner demons is practically a sure thing!
Although the cultivators outside Yangming Mountain could not see clearly or distinctly due to the isolation provided by the great formation, the view was still quite obscure.

However, some highly skilled individuals, such as Yuanqi Zhenjun, vaguely discerned the situation. It seemed that Honglian had released her nascent soul to undergo the baptism of the heavenly tribulation and absorb the energy of the heavenly Dao.

They were filled with surprise and horror.

Unexpectedly, this city lord's wife actually attempted to break through to the legendary Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage and succeeded.

Once this news spreads, it won't be long before the name of this city lord's wife becomes as famous as that of Yangming Zhenjun in the Northern Region, known to all the major powers.

After surviving the heavenly tribulation, Honglian immediately took a pill. Her nascent soul spirit embraced her natal spiritual treasure, circulated her cultivation technique, and used the new life force generated by the rules of heaven and earth to adjust her condition.

The inner demon tribulation is closely related to the cultivator's physical and mental state.

If one's condition is too poor, it will affect the cultivator's mind and willpower.

Even though Honglian had overcome her inner demons and possessed experience and insights, she still held a sense of awe when facing the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation.

A moment later, the tribulation clouds in the sky completely dissipated, and the tribulation clouds of inner demons surged forth, accompanied by a faint, otherworldly demonic sound that enveloped the red lotus.

Upon seeing this scene, Lu Changsheng's face grew more solemn.

The tribulations of inner demons are unpredictable and cannot be understood using common sense.

Even if Honglian were to rebuild her Nascent Soul cultivation, there would still be certain risks involved.

However.
In just one day, the dark and gloomy clouds of inner demons in the sky dissipated like a tide.

A colorful cloud, filled with auspicious energy, bloomed and emerged, forming an invisible wave of Taoist rhythm and profound sound.

"How did the inner demon tribulation dissipate?"

"This means... the Nascent Soul stage has been successfully formed?"

"So fast? Isn't the tribulation of inner demons supposed to take about seven days?"

Not only the monks who stopped to watch from outside Yangmingshan.

Even Lu Changsheng, Bai Zhaozhao, and Ayouduo were astonished by Honglian's speed in transcending tribulation.

The tribulations of the heart are unpredictable and treacherous.

The tribulation of a cultivator usually takes seven days.

If it exceeds seven days and reaches ten days, there is a certain risk.

If one can overcome the tribulation of inner demons within three to five days, then one is considered to be a person with a strong will and a firm belief in the Dao.

As for overcoming one's inner demons in just one day, one can only say that he is extraordinary.

However, remembering that Honglian was a top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator in her previous life, Lu Changsheng felt relieved and a smile appeared on his lips. He immediately flew to Honglian's cave to congratulate her.

On Yangming Peak, Honglian was wearing the Nine Abyss Black Tortoise Armor, her peach blossom crown was damaged by the heavenly lightning tribulation, and her long black hair was scattered and sparkling.

"Red Lotus, congratulations on breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Although Honglian's hair was disheveled and her armor had several tears and scorch marks, it did not diminish her stunning beauty, figure, and temperament.

Even in Lu Changsheng's eyes, Honglian's appearance at this moment was more heroic and beautiful than her usual graceful and beautiful demeanor.
