Primordial Qi

Time flies, Gu Chenyu didn't know how much time had passed. Every time the sun and the moon alternated, a trace would appear in the cave. The fruit trees in the forest ripened three times, and Gu Chenyu also ate secretly three times. Thinking about it, three years had passed.

The cold winter turns to the cool autumn, the scorching heat turns to unbearable, and all things revive. He endures the alternation of the year silently with his mortal body. Now, he no longer suppresses his true essence and spiritual power, allowing the two to blend and offset each other.

He lived here for a long time until he could no longer feel the power in his body and no longer relied on it. In the past three years, he encountered relatively few monsters. On weekdays, he only ate spiritual fruits and beast eggs. In winter, when there was really nothing to eat, he practiced fasting and meditated to get through it. Not being able to feel the power in his body did not mean that it was gone, so he was able to get through it.

Gu Chenyu comprehended the spiritual power of heaven and earth, the laws of all things in the world, and comprehended them personally with his mortal body. A thatched hut was built outside the cave. Gu Chenyu no longer speculated on this world based on the memories of his previous life, but completely integrated into it. Tomorrow, he would listen to the immortal's preaching and thoroughly understand this world.

"My previous life has nothing to do with me. Since I have the memory of my previous life in this life, I should not be decadent. Instead, I should actively live out the splendor of this life. The most important thing is that if I don't practice well in this life, my soul may be swallowed by some old ghosts who practice cultivation, and I won't even have the chance to reincarnate. Therefore, I must practice to the extreme."

Gu Chenyu said in his heart that his body had grown taller and he looked like an adult. It had been eighteen years since he came to this world.

Having survived the winter, it is now the season of revival again. Gu Chenyu picked fruits while wearing clothes with several holes in them. He just wiped the fruits on his clothes and ate them.

"It's too early. It's not ripe yet." Gu Chenyu spat out the pulp. It looked like it would take some time.

Gu Qingxue in the cave remained silent for a long time, and Gu Chenyu did not dare to go in to see her, for fear of disturbing her practice.

Take out a spiritual fruit, and the energy extracted from it can nourish the soul. The immortal inside the body will clamor for food and absorb its energy.

However, Gu Chenyu ignored it and forced out some of his energy to pass it to Lingling. The angry immortal rolled around in Gu Chenyu's sea of consciousness, causing Gu Chenyu to frown.

There were still many elixirs in the storage bag, but Gu Chenyu did not take them. He was still waiting for an opportunity, and would do so after Gu Qingxue recovered her cultivation.

Day after day, Gu Chenyu felt a little bored. He was no different from an ordinary person. There was no more fluctuation of true energy or spiritual power in his eyes. Instead, they became clearer, as if he had returned to nature.

The ice-blue spiritual light column shot straight into the sky, the sky and the earth changed color, and thunder tribulation surged. After three years of preaching, Gu Chenyu also knew that this was a tribulation. The heavenly thunder would bring down different thunder tribulations according to the strength of the tribulation-crosser. The strength of the thunder tribulation could be judged from the color. Usually there were three levels: ordinary thunder, heavenly thunder, and divine thunder. Generally, those who cultivated to the heavenly level would not attract divine thunder.

The black clouds gradually became more and more oppressive, with thunder flashing in them. Every thunderclap seemed to explode deep in the soul. Gu Chenyu ran very fast with his beloved herbs on his back, the farther away from the cave the better, so as not to be struck to death as someone undergoing a tribulation.

"It's so terrifying even before we descend to the human world. I wonder if Gu Qingxue can survive it." Gu Chenyu said this, but he really didn't stop at all and ran as fast as he could.

At the cave, Gu Qingxue jumped out of the cave. His cultivation had reached the great perfection of the Venerable Realm. After overcoming this thunder tribulation, he would be able to return to the Heavenly Realm.

"It's actually the Purple Sky Divine Thunder. This girl is extraordinary!" Xian said in surprise. The Purple Sky Divine Thunder is one of the best divine thunders in the immortal martial arts world. Needless to say, the benefits of using this thunder to cleanse the body for those who are undergoing tribulation are great.

"Indeed, the Heavenly Man Realm has attracted the divine thunder, which shows that he has an extraordinary talent." Gu Chenyu praised. Now that he had run far enough, he could see from afar a small black dot slowly rising into the air. It was obvious that Gu Qingxue was about to transcend the tribulation.

"Look, there is someone over there going through a tribulation. Could this be a thunderbolt from heaven?"

"Heavenly thunder? The scale is not that huge. Could it be that some genius who crossed into the Heavenly Man Realm triggered the heavenly thunder catastrophe?"

"Let's go and pay him a visit. Maybe we can be accepted by this genius as his disciple or even accepted as his personal disciple."

People in the town near the mountain range discovered something unusual and started whispering to each other. Many of them even took action and headed to the tribulation point to wait for the powerful celestial being to come out.

"Brother, look, there is someone who arrived earlier than us. It seems that he has been watching here for a long time." Someone flew over on a sword and communicated in the air.

"Let's go and ask what's going on."

Several people flew down to Gu Chenyu on flying swords, clasped their fists and asked, "Fellow Daoist, may I ask who is this person who is undergoing the tribulation? Can you tell me a thing or two?"

"We are cultivators from the Wang family of Tianyun City. If you know anything, please let me know."

Gu Chenyu shook his head and ignored this group of people. Instead, he quietly looked at Gu Qingxue who was preparing to survive the tribulation in the distance.

"Hmph, if you don't speak, are you a mute, or are you looking down on us?" a woman said angrily.

"It's okay. There's no spiritual power fluctuation on this person. He's most likely a mortal. He was probably frightened by the scene and has been staring at that place." A man shook his head and sighed, then flew deeper into the room with a few others.

Looking at the fearless cultivators in front of him, Gu Chenyu said calmly: "The thunder tribulation has already occurred. These people will not be able to affect Gu Qingxue's tribulation if they go over. If they get closer, they might be struck to death by the thunder. This saves me a lot of worry."

More and more cultivators came to join in the fun, most of them were masters who had reached the Jindan stage, otherwise they would not have been able to arrive so quickly.

"It is better to keep the place where we cross the tribulation secret. Being watched by these people is not a good thing after all." Gu Chenyu said to himself.

He instantly came behind these onlookers and knocked them out with a single blow of his hand. No one knew what kind of power he used. Even the masters could not rely on this blow.

"You'd better get a good night's sleep." Gu Chenyu said, his tone a little too calm and cold.

"There are quite a few people here. It looks like some of them are busy."

Gu Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the people who came here all had average cultivation levels, otherwise it would have taken some effort.

The calamity clouds were growing bigger and bigger, it was no longer like an ordinary calamity, the Tongtian Mirror appeared from Gu Qingxue's body, the majestic rhyme of Tao enveloped this world, and he actually took action himself to conceal the secret of heaven.

Gu Chenyu looked at the hundreds of people he had tied up and fell into deep thought. If he had known that Tongtian Mirror would take action, he would not have tied up anyone. He had used up a lot of his true energy, and it would probably take some time for it to settle.

The calamity cloud spread for who knows how many miles. A bolt of lightning struck down, and the mountains beneath Gu Qingxue's feet were razed to the ground.

"Horrible, too terrifying." Gu Chenyu was too shocked. Is this the tribulation? Is this the divine thunder?

The purple lightning struck Gu Qingxue with the might of Heaven. Just one strike turned her clothes into powder. The horrific thunder tribulation was far from over and was still striking.

Although Gu Qingxue still had the body of a child, she was not used to being naked, so she put on the clothes she found in the secret realm. If she was not careful, the clothes would be ruined.

Downstairs in the thunder tribulation building, Gu Qingxue fought desperately. This kind of thunder tribulation was no longer something Gu Chenyu could bear to watch, so he just ran away. Those cultivators who were knocked unconscious and tied in the cave had already been shocked unconscious, and could only leave their life and death to fate.

Phew, it's too scary, I don't know how long I'll be struck by lightning. Gu Chenyu wiped the sweat off his forehead and came to a village. An old woman looked at the sky and shouted that it was raining, so she went home to collect clothes.

Gu Chenyu walked into the mountain village. The place they were in was not remote enough, and there were actually cultivators there. Fortunately, the Tongtian Mirror came in handy, otherwise Gu Qingxue would have been targeted by those powerful people.

Under the nine heavenly thunders, Gu Qingxue struggled hard and finally made it through.

The blue dress was already torn, but Gu Qingxue's flesh and blood seemed to be reborn. After being baptized by thunder, her soul became stronger.

"I originally thought that I would never experience a thunder tribulation again after having survived it once, but I didn't expect to be struck by it again and doubt my life. Fortunately, the Tongtian Mirror took effect, otherwise I would have died without any preparation." Gu Qingxue said with fear. She waved her hand, the law of time emerged, and a thunder tribulation almost fell.

"I wanted to see if you were there, but it seems I can't go back to the time before the thunderstorm to take a peek." Gu Qingxue sighed, then squatted on the ground and sobbed: "You left after all, without telling me where you went."

The Tongtian Mirror sighed and disappeared into Gu Qingxue's dantian. There was already a pink and delicately carved little man sitting cross-legged inside. The Tongtian Mirror was floating beside her, making communication much more convenient in the future.

In the great struggle of the world, whether to go with the flow or to change one's fate, to fall or to become a strong one, these are all unknowns. With the protection of a great treasure or a great sect, one will not be involved too much.

Gu Qingxue was crying like a little kitten. The thunderclouds had not completely dispersed, and Gu Chenyu could not get there for a while. However, he seemed to have some idea in his heart and went to find Gu Qingxue in advance.

A breeze blew across Gu Qingxue's face. She was waiting here quietly, looking into the distance, as if in a daze, as if reminiscing.
