Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 691 Immortal Martial Arts! (Two Chapters Combined)

"roll!"

A cold, ruthless shout rang out from Peach Blossom Island, its sound echoing across the sea.

On the sea, those enormous sea beasts that had just poked their heads out felt a buzzing in their heads and almost lost their souls.

Terrified, he dared not linger for even a moment, nor covet that celestial aura.

At one moment, Song Changming felt the space around him solidify like water. Under the shroud of heavenly might, even moving his fingers became incredibly heavy and difficult.

His aura was locked, and his soul was imprisoned within his body. Thus, if his physical body were destroyed, his soul would have nowhere to escape.

The technique of shedding one's skin like a cicada's shell is even more difficult to execute.

Under the celestial tribulation, all tricks will be ineffective, and there is no possibility of deceiving the heavens. What is being tested is one's pure cultivation and spiritual attainment.

Under the dome, dark clouds converged into a vortex stretching for hundreds of miles. Streams of heavenly lightning were drawn out and continuously gathered at the center of this vortex, brewing a great wave.

Song Changming knew that the heavenly lightning was more of a vessel for bearing the might of heaven.

The real threat is not the heavenly lightning itself, but the calamity it carries.

There are five great immortals in heaven.

"Immortal, True Immortal, Celestial Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal."

“Every rank of immortal has a tribulation. Among them, the immortals of the lower ranks have the least difficult tribulation. Those who perish in this tribulation are already destined to be unrelated to the path of immortality, so we will not mention them for now.”
Among those who successfully transcend tribulations and ascend to immortality, differences can also be observed.

Those who are critically injured and on the verge of death, barely surviving, will find their path to immortality fraught with hardship, even if they eventually enter the realm of immortals. They will likely remain among the immortals, with little chance of achieving greater immortality.

Those who easily overcome tribulations with only minor injuries will have abundant opportunities for immortality in the future, their path to immortality will be much smoother, and they may even be able to advance to a higher level and eventually reach the realm of true immortals.

Peach Blossom Fairy was telling the story to White Peach beside her.

Bai Tao seemed to be deep in thought, carefully noting down what her older sister had said.

She suddenly asked, "Then, sister, what if someone survives the tribulation unscathed? Does that prove their path to immortality is even more limitless?"

Peach Blossom Fairy nodded slightly and said calmly, "That's natural. The easier it is to overcome the tribulation, the longer one's path to immortality will be."

"Then my sister must have survived her tribulation unscathed!" Bai Tao chuckled and said with great certainty.

Peach Blossom Fairy didn't say much about it.

"White Peach, would you like to become an immortal?" After a long while, Peach Blossom Fairy suddenly asked again.

Bai Tao shook her head: "If my sister doesn't like those celestial beings, then I don't want to become one."

"I am me, and you are you. Don't worry about me." Peach Blossom Fairy frowned slightly, looked at the person beside her, and said seriously.

“Sister, this is my honest opinion,” Bai Tao said firmly.

Peach Blossom Fairy remained silent.

A deafening roar erupted in the sky, and from within the vortex of lightning, a bolt of pure white lightning, wreathed in aurora borealis, fell.

In the blink of an eye, it struck Song Changming, who was sitting cross-legged on Peach Blossom Island, with perfect precision and without the slightest error.

A fierce surge of plasma swept across the entire island.

Fortunately, this celestial tribulation only targets the individual undergoing the tribulation; otherwise, this power of the Heavenly Dao would have been enough to directly destroy the entire Peach Blossom Island, and even harm the surrounding neighboring islands.

Tang Kecha stood on the island, his face pale as he watched the surging air currents and plasma around him. He felt a tingling sensation and, after confirming that they had not harmed him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The first calamity cuts through the skin and flesh!

The falling lightning was like a silver waterfall, except that this waterfall crashed down from the sky.

While bathing in it, Song Changming felt pain all over his body.

The skin, flesh, bones, and even the internal organs, meridians, and blood are all resisting the cleansing power of this overwhelming force.

The lightning bolt was extremely powerful, and when it struck, it seemed to blast Song Changming's body into dust and crush it into the dust.

However, Song Changming, who was sitting cross-legged, remained unmoved under the impact of this divine power, his straight spine not even bending in the slightest.

The bolt of lightning lasted for about ten minutes before reluctantly stopping.

When everyone looked again, they saw that Song Changming was still sitting cross-legged in the center of the Heavenly Might, seemingly without moving an inch.

Although his body was emitting scalding white smoke and the ground was charred black, his skin and flesh remained intact, even displaying a flawless, crystalline color.

“This first tribulation poses no threat to him whatsoever.” Bai Tao smiled as she watched this scene from afar.

It's no wonder he was chosen by his older sister; he's truly extraordinary.

In the sky, the dark clouds remained, and the streaks of pure white lightning began to gather and coil again, like dragons swimming into a celestial pool, gathering their strength and preparing for the second calamity.

Below, Song Changming opened his eyes, which shone with a bright fluorescent light.

The celestial aura that had originally permeated his body seemed to have taken root completely in his flesh and blood after the first lightning tribulation, no longer floating aimlessly.

This is the first step in creating an immortal body: gathering immortal energy.

"The second tribulation, severing the soul!" Song Changming murmured to himself, feeling his mind becoming increasingly calm.

Having successfully and unharmed survived the first ordeal, he became increasingly confident.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a second bolt of pure white lightning, accompanied by boundless radiance, struck him.

This time, not only was his flesh and bones put to the test again, but even the little soul figure sitting in his sea of ​​darkness experienced the heavenly lightning strike.

However, Song Changming was prepared. His divine soul figure sat cross-legged on the four divine steps, protected by a large amount of divine light.

During this baptism of heavenly lightning, his soul not only did not weaken or deteriorate, but became even more refined.

Unconsciously, the little soul activated the Heavenly Divine Technique, using this incomparably powerful heavenly lightning to create the fifth divine rank beneath him!
The previously unclear divine hierarchy materialized at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ten minutes later, the thunder dissipated.

Looking at the fifth divine stage that Song Changming had almost completed under his divine soul, he secretly sighed with regret.

If that bolt of lightning had lasted a few more minutes, his Witch God Soul might have been able to directly step onto the fifth level of the divine realm!

“However, there is still a chance,” Song Changming said with a smile as he looked at the third wave of heavenly lightning still gathering above his head.

This tribulation was much easier than he had expected; in fact, he used the tribulation to further refine himself.

Therefore, as long as one's own strength is strong enough and one's cultivation is profound enough, this celestial tribulation, though called a tribulation, can also be an opportunity.

In fact, after the two bolts of heavenly lightning, Song Changming not only had his physical body and soul tempered, but his martial arts essence blood was also activated and continued to strengthen as his physical body was tempered!
The number of semen drops has now skyrocketed from over 500 to over 800!

But this wasn't the end. Even during the pause in the heavenly lightning, his physical body continued to devour the massive amounts of spiritual energy around him, transforming it into martial arts essence within his body. As his martial arts cultivation continued to surge, Song Changming's aura also steadily increased.

He had a vague premonition that the unfinished Martial Saint realm might be able to complete its final transformation during this tribulation!

A burst of inspiration struck Song Changming, generating a multitude of thoughts in an instant, to the point that he temporarily forgot he was still undergoing the Immortal Tribulation.

Until the third thunderclap descended overhead.

The pure white lightning once again cascaded down like a waterfall, instantly engulfing Song Changming.

This third tribulation is the severing of one's mind and nature!
Under the thunder, inner demons arose, and past obsessions, regrets, and unresolved thoughts surged towards Song Changming like a tide at this moment.

At that moment, in a daze, Song Changming saw many people and events from the past.

Those deceased parents, those who have passed away, even the grayed-out past and present lives.
All of this seemed to be telling him that he had to let go of the past.

Any lingering attachments or unresolved emotions should be let go with the wind and not be held onto.

Song Changming understood. It was more accurate to say that this was about severing one's mind and nature than about severing one's past, forgetting the path of turning back, and forging an indomitable and unyielding mind!
This first step onto the path to immortality is like being reborn.

But Song Changming was unwilling to take that step against himself.

Does immortality necessarily mean forgetting emotions?
He didn't want to.

He has his own path, neither immortal nor witch, but perhaps immortal martial arts!
Boom!

The pure white color of the thunder suddenly reversed, gradually turning black and going berserk. The roaring sound caused the heavens and earth to tremble and the sea to tilt.

It seemed that Song Changming, who did not comply with its wishes, had also thoroughly angered it.

"Sister, what's going on with this black lightning?" Bai Tao asked in surprise.

Meanwhile, Peach Blossom Fairy, who was standing to the side, narrowed her eyes slightly, and her originally calm expression became somewhat serious.

“In the past, this dark calamity has also occurred. Those who are unwilling to sever their hearts and forget their emotions, and who go against the way of heaven, will invite this dark calamity.”

The appearance of the Black Calamity meant that those who should have ascended to immortality were once again facing a life-or-death situation; in the end, very few survived the Black Calamity.

"Unwilling to sever ties and forget feelings?" Bai Tao was somewhat confused about what this person was thinking.

The path to immortality, which they had been searching for, was right before their eyes, within reach, yet they couldn't bear to give up this small price.

"What a greedy person," Bai Tao thought to herself.

"Will he be able to survive this ordeal?"

Peach Blossom Fairy shook her head; she couldn't make a judgment this time either.

Although Song Changming easily survived the first two heavenly lightning strikes without injury, the Black Tribulation was a different story.

"There's still a glimmer of hope," was all Peach Blossom Fairy could say.

There are indeed survivors of the Black Calamity, but the survival rate is extremely low. His description of "nine deaths and one life" is an understatement.

She had never personally experienced the Dark Tribulation, so she was unsure whether Song Changming could survive it.

The black lightning instantly engulfed Song Changming, and the overwhelming heavenly might, far surpassing anything before, followed and fell upon him.

Song Changming's body was almost crushed, and blood seeped from his seven orifices and pores all over his body.

His breathing became disordered in an instant, and his mind was buzzing, making it difficult to concentrate his scattered consciousness to resist this terrifying divine power.

Fortunately, at this crucial moment, in the Nether Sea, the little witch god officially stepped onto the fifth divine rank!

It was this further advancement of his divine soul that saved him from dire straits.

Upon regaining consciousness, Song Changming decisively activated all the martial arts essence within his body, releasing a protective coating that stood between him and the heavenly lightning.

Martial arts power cannot completely block the black lightning, but weakening it by even a fraction would be enough to make him feel much better.

At the same time, his flesh and bones, his soul, and his martial arts cultivation all underwent astonishing changes under the heavy pressure of the Heavenly Dao.

After an unknown amount of time, the black lightning gradually subsided, and the huge vortex in the sky began to dissipate.

The oppressive force of Heaven was stripped away from the world, restoring the clear sky and earth to their original state on the sea.

Peach Blossom Island ultimately did not collapse or sink as a result.

Conversely, when the celestial tribulation dissipates, the vast celestial spiritual energy falls, most of which is absorbed by the one undergoing the tribulation, while a small portion is scattered across the earth, bringing blessings to all.

This peach blossom island will thus be transformed into a higher-level spiritual treasure land.

"Is this the celestial energy?" Tang Kecha could notice that a portion of the scattered celestial energy flew into his body on its own and merged with him.

Fran, Biyougen, and even the peach tree spirits nearby, and even the ordinary plants and trees on the island, all received this blessing.

This celestial energy cannot make them instantly immortal, but it can increase their success rate when they have the opportunity to transcend tribulations and ascend to immortality in the future!
This is a benefit that cannot be found anywhere else.

Every living being who aspires to become an immortal is interested in this blessing.

The peach tree spirits nearby were equally delighted. They were content to receive such a share of the blessing and would no longer covet the immortal energy drifting toward Song Changming.

After all the immortal energy entered his body, Song Changming looked inward and found that the immortal energy had gathered into a ball within his body.

In addition, the martial arts essence blood in his body, which had just reached a thousand drops, seemed to be drawn together by this ball of immortal energy, and gathered and swirled around it, just like thousands of planets in a galaxy, operating around that ball of immortal energy on their own.

"Immortal Spirit and Martial Essence"

A flash of inspiration swept through Song Changming's mind, and the various flashes of inspiration that had appeared before continued to integrate, making the martial path beneath his feet increasingly clear.

The words "Immortal Martial Arts" kept flashing, and the path ahead was clear!
The opportunity is right in front of us, right in this wisp of celestial energy!

clang!
High above, as Song Changming successfully ascended to immortality, a vast expanse of celestial energy was showered down, accompanied by melodious celestial music, radiant glow, and auspicious omens.

Dragon horses and phoenix carriages, cranes flying together, colorful ribbons fluttering, as if fairies were dancing in the clouds.

In addition, there are celestial palaces and fairy towers accompanied by colorful clouds, layer upon layer, filling the sky!

These strange phenomena are not real things, but they are a scene that everyone can see when they become immortals.

These strange phenomena left people momentarily stunned, especially those like Tang Kecha who had never witnessed them before.

They were utterly captivated by the celestial palace that appeared before them, and even after all these extraordinary phenomena disappeared, the emotions surging within them remained unsettled for a long time.

"What is that? The abode of immortals? Does it really exist?" After a long while, Fran finally spoke.

"It must be." Tang Kecha was absolutely certain.

"So our master has already become an immortal. Is he going to ascend to heaven and fly away to the celestial palace in the sky?" Fran couldn't help but ask.

At the same time, what they were thinking was whether Song Changming would take them to that celestial palace.
