Practice begins with immortality

In the Tian'a universe, a lonely and desolate uninhabited planet floats quietly. The surface of this planet is covered with jagged rocks and deep ravines, as if it has experienced the baptism of countless vicissitudes of life.

"It looks like you've failed, Lu Xuanyin." A figure in a black cloak slowly approached. His voice was icy cold without any emotion, just like the desolate environment around him.

Lu Xuanyin gritted her teeth, a flicker of unwillingness in her eyes: "I didn't expect it to be like this..." She muttered to herself in frustration, "I originally thought that the Black Dragon King was just an ordinary dragon. Who could have expected that he was actually connected to the Yinglong clan among the dragons!"

At this point, Lu Xuanyin shuddered involuntarily, and a look of unconcealable fear appeared on his face. You have to know that Yinglong is a powerful being standing at the pinnacle of the entire dragon clan, and the clan leader is even an Immortal King-level existence.

Within the dragon clan, there are three terrifyingly powerful Immortal Kings. One of these is Zhulong Zhu Jiuyin, the god of Zhongshan. This deity possesses an extremely bizarre appearance, with one eye and one foot, a human face and a snake body. Judging solely by appearance, it's difficult to associate it with a traditional dragon. However, it's undeniable that Zhulong does share a close connection with the dragon clan.

The second is the Azure Dragon, one of the four heavenly spirits and revered as the most noble of the gods.

Finally, there is the winged dragon, Yinglong, known as the God of Heavenly Dragons.

Among them, there is only one Zhulong and Qinglong, and they do not form a tribe. However, Yinglong does form a tribe. In addition, ordinary dragons, if they have perseverance and opportunity, can also grow wings and become Yinglong.

Lu Xuanyin frowned slightly, a look of helplessness on his face. He sighed softly, "Alas, it's precisely because of this relationship that I dare not take action against Prince Long. After all, the forces behind him are complex and intricate, and even a single move could affect the entire system."

E Luo, standing by, remained expressionless upon hearing this, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He continued in that icy voice, "Don't you have a token from the Overlord Tian'a? As far as I know, anyone holding this token can ask him for help once. As long as he's willing to help, what does a mere Dragon Prince mean to you?"

Lu Xuanyin shook her head and explained, "It's not that simple. While it's true, as you said, that the holder of the token can request his assistance once, there are prerequisites. First, it must not exceed his capabilities; second, it must not violate his wishes. Furthermore, this Tian'a Overlord is always mysterious and elusive, known as the 'Observer'. He spends his days indifferent to worldly affairs, devoting his entire attention to observing the evolution of various worlds and civilizations within the universe. Unless you are a descendant of an old friend with whom you have a deep connection, it's nearly impossible to solicit the assistance of such a great deity."

After a pause, Lu Xuanyin continued, "The reason my Yanyue Sect was able to obtain this token is simply because we made some deals with him back when he was still a nobody and had yet to rise to prominence. Our relationship was far from close; it could even be described as quite cold. Therefore, the greatest use of this token is simply to protect my life within the Tian'a Universe."

At this point, Lu Xuanyin changed the subject: "But, there are always more solutions than problems. In fact, there are still some alternatives..."

"That cultivator named Leng Feng has great luck and has reached the third tribulation level. He's perfect for me to borrow his life to break the fourth tribulation."

"Except for the Ice Phoenix, who has some connection to the Phoenix Clan, the others in the Bingji Palace are nothing to you. However, I'm sure they won't stand up for a figurehead elder."

"This is the last time, Lu Xuanyin, don't forget what you promised me."

"Don't worry, E'Luo. I will naturally fulfill my promise and take you to my sect's inheritance site when the time comes. However, whether you can comprehend anything from those fragments of the River Map and Luo Shu will depend on you."

.............................

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed. Wang Bai has also completed the refinement of all the power in his body. His accumulated power is on the verge of a breakthrough. His true spirit and immortal body are attracting each other, and they are about to become closer.

The next step was to actively allow the two to come into contact, merge, and then transcend the tribulation. Generally speaking, no cultivator would actively invite the tribulation like Wang Bai did; they would typically suppress the breakthrough, leaving enough time to prepare the immortal artifacts and elixirs needed to transcend the tribulation. Wang Bai only dared to do this because he had the light ball protecting him from death. Who else would dare?

Accompanied by a slight fluctuation caused by mental transmission, Wang Bai seemed to have traveled through a tunnel of time and space, and instantly appeared in a vast, desolate and uninhabited sea of ​​stars.

This sea of ​​stars seemed forgotten by time, its silence unnerving. Wang Bai looked around, only to see twinkling stars, but no trace of life.

"Very good, there is no living creature within trillions of light-years." Wang Bai muttered to himself, his tone revealing a hint of satisfaction and determination.

Then, he took a deep breath, his eyes becoming determined: "Begin to overcome the tribulation!"

As this whisper echoed, Wang Bai unhesitatingly allowed his true spirit and immortal body to collide and fuse. Instantly, his entire body emanated a dazzling light, and his entire body gradually transformed into a human-sized cosmic lake. Within this cosmic lake, every drop of water contained immense power.

At this moment, the previously desolate and tranquil universe suddenly underwent a drastic change. Countless black lines suddenly appeared, coming from all directions, shooting straight towards Wang Bo. These black lines were extremely fast, or more accurately, they had no concept of speed. The pure power of annihilation could even destroy time and space. Without time, speed and slowness became meaningless.

"It's the same line of destruction that appeared in the lower realm, but this time it's much stronger!" Wang Bai's heart was shocked, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. However, he didn't retreat at all, "This thing can't destroy me!"

Accompanied by a hint of golden light, these lines of destruction melted like spring snow.

The next moment, the cosmic lake seemed to have expanded countless times, directly filling the sea of ​​stars, and was still expanding outward at an incredible speed.

This is the transformation from a cosmic lake to a cosmic sea.

In another instant, a figure emerged from the center of the cosmic sea. With the appearance of that figure, the cosmic sea stopped expanding and began to flow into Wang Bo's body like a receding tide.

After three breaths, the cosmic sea disappeared, and the entire Forgotten Star Sea was empty except for Wang Bo.
