I am a loser, but I defeated countless geniuses with the Soul-Calming Tower.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Before Lin Xuan could react, the Taiyuan Immortal Tree outside the mansion suddenly emitted a torrent of silvery light that poured into the mansion, converging at the very center and transforming into a bluish-gray sphere.

Lin Xuan's thoughts were drawn to the sphere, and he quickly focused his attention to look at it. His feelings became increasingly complicated.

The surface of the sphere was unusually calm, but inside, the forces were chaotic, disorder and violence were intertwined, space and time were blurred, and there was neither light nor darkness.

"Chaos knows no years, each step a primordial chaos, could this be... the foundation of the Chaos Dao!"

Lin Xuan suddenly had this realization.

He truly hadn't expected that the Chaos Dao Foundation was different from all other Dao Foundations; it was rooted in the Nine Heavens Palace rather than within the Heavenly Court.

Moreover, this Nine Heavens Palace was created entirely with the power of the Dao Foundation, without relying on Daoist principles. It is something that has never been heard of or seen before.

Lin Xuan was filled with emotion. At that moment, a bluish-gray power flowed out from the bluish-gray sphere and instantly poured back into the Taiyuan Immortal Tree.

In an instant, the Taiyuan Immortal Tree changed its appearance, transforming from a silvery, towering tree into a bluish-gray divine tree. All the Dao foundations it connected with dissolved at this moment, turning into the purest power that flowed and merged into the bluish-gray sphere.

"Dong dong!"

The Nine Heavens Palace, with its bluish-gray spheres, all emitted heartbeats at this moment, as if they had come alive.

Lin Xuan discovered that their heartbeats were exactly the same as his own.

"Chaos returns to oneness, all laws are one!"

Lin Xuan's eyes shone brightly as he sensed an unprecedented difference, as if he could grasp all the principles and control all the laws.

The primordial chaos that had been surging within his heart had now completely transformed into a bluish-gray color, flowing throughout his entire body. Every cell was rejoicing, as if he were returning to his primordial womb, undergoing a comprehensive sublimation.

"Following the natural order makes one mortal, defying it makes one immortal!"

"It's now!"

Lin Xuan's heart pounded, and he began to circulate the major scriptures without hesitation.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, from within the boundless Daoist repertoire of the eighth level of the Soul Suppressing Tower, a chorus of ten thousand Daoist principles resounded, the Daoist rhymes surging like ocean waves, causing the entire eighth level to tremble, with myriad rays of light flying together, evolving into numerous wondrous phenomena.

Lin Xuan felt his mental senses were completely confused, and the many strange phenomena in the endless Daoist canon dazzled him.

One after another, great roads appeared, and they even materialized into their own forms, standing majestically in the boundless天地 (heaven and earth), inspiring awe and fear, yet a mysterious force compels one to approach them.

The roar of the Great Dao reverberated, and Lin Xuan's heart surged with it. His spiritual senses roamed, soared, and traversed among the myriad paths in this area.

After an unknown amount of time, all the strange phenomena converged and transformed into a bluish-gray auspicious glow, which descended from the endless Daoist canon and poured into Lin Xuan's Daoist abode, instantly filling it, and then flowing through his entire body via the Taiyuan Immortal Tree.

Under the baptism of the Dao, Lin Xuan completely entered a transformation, his whole body shrouded in azure-gray auspicious light, transforming into a giant egg suspended in the pitch-black earth.

Lin Xuan's spirit withdrew from the Soul Suppressing Tower on its own and returned to his body.

A powerful pressure formed overhead. Lin Xuan looked up from inside the giant egg and saw dark clouds gathering above the endless sky, golden lightning surging, and the sound of thunder echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

"The Immortal Tribulation!"

"From this day forward, I shall be a celestial being!"

Excitement shone in Lin Xuan's eyes; he had waited too long for this day...

Ascending to immortality and undergoing tribulations is a calamity that every living being must experience.

Having survived the celestial tribulation, he was revered as a true immortal, far surpassing any earthly immortal.

If one cannot overcome this obstacle, even if one achieves longevity and immortality, one will still be considered unworthy of respect.

In this upper realm, only true immortals can be called pillars of strength, and can be considered to have just crossed the threshold of top beings.

Of course, the tribulations of ascending to immortality are not static. Each being has different potential, and the tribulations they must endure are also different.
