Humans are in the wilderness, God is in perfection!

Boom!

The seventy-third lightning tribulation descended with terrifying power beyond imagination, comparable to a full-force attack from a top-tier celestial immortal. Who among ordinary Void Returning Earth Immortals could withstand it?

"go!"

With a shout from Xia Mangqing, nine top-grade immortal flying swords appeared, condensing into a line and slashing out fiercely from bottom to top, severing the lightning tribulation. It even seemed as if the entire world was split in two.

In terms of level alone, this sword formation is far inferior to the "Yin Yang Star Scroll". However, Xia Mangqing has deduced and improved this sword formation many times, incorporating his understanding of the Great Dao of Qiankun, and even a little bit of mental energy, so it can unleash a more powerful force.

The Yin-Yang Star Scroll is a secret technique. Only the first volume has been mastered, so the power it can unleash is limited. Under normal circumstances, it can only be compared to a single strike from a top-tier celestial immortal.

Of course, theoretically this secret technique can also be integrated with mental power to make it more powerful, but he did not deduce it, nor did he have any related methods for using mental power, so its power is not as great as the sword formation.

The lightning tribulation continued to descend, but Xia Mangqing controlled the sword formation to sever the lightning tribulation and draw upon its power.

Soon the eightieth lightning tribulation was passed, and the nine kinds of lightning-related wonders in the Golden Lotus Primordial Spirit had been basically melted down by the power of the lightning tribulation and transformed into the swaying Golden Lotus.

In the distance, it seemed as if a ferocious beast was roaring, treading on endless thunder, with lightning surging with every breath.

"This is the last one."

Xia Mangqing looked up and saw that the lightning tribulation was brewing, and a terrifying aura was gathering, making the whole world seem extremely oppressive.

Boom!

A white bolt of lightning, filled with holiness and magnificence, possessed no violent momentum, only an air of dignified elegance, and swept towards Xia Mangqing with overwhelming force.

"cut!"

Xia Mangqing commanded, and nine flying swords flew across the sky, causing the void between heaven and earth to become disordered and distorted, as if transforming into a bottomless black hole that was about to devour everything.

The pure white lightning struck down, carrying unparalleled power, like a divine sword that judges all living beings, piercing through everything and shattering everything!

Two extremely terrifying forces collided, causing the void to tremble violently. Brilliant light engulfed the world, lightning raged, and sword energy flew everywhere. In the end, both forces vanished into thin air.

In the void, the vortex of lightning dissipated, and at the same moment, a bolt of lightning appeared out of thin air and landed on Xia Mangqing. The nine kinds of lightning-related wonders in his body were completely refined and integrated into the Golden Lotus Primordial Spirit at this moment.

As well, Xia Mangqing's second primordial spirit began to emanate immortal spiritual energy.

"The Celestial Physique has been achieved!"

Emperor Xia breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Mangqing had successfully passed the tribulation of lightning, more than halfway through: "Only the tribulation of inner demons remains, but Qing'er's mental strength is stronger than mine, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

The lightning tribulation was the Nine-Nine Lightning Tribulation, and the inner demon tribulation was probably no less severe than some of the legendary records. However, Xia Mangqing had previously informed him that his mental strength had reached the third level.

The third level of mental strength had already surpassed his, and in his opinion, he should be able to overcome that level of mental demonic tribulation.

After all, according to ancient records, beings who could overcome such inner demons did not necessarily have mastered mental power. As long as their Dao heart was firm enough, they also had a chance to overcome it.

Before long, he saw Xia Mangqing close his eyes, his breath sinking into stillness, as if he had fallen into the cycle of reincarnation.

The tribulation of inner demons is like being reborn in another time and space; only by seeing through the illusions within can one truly transcend it.

……

As time passed, the Xia Emperor grew increasingly uneasy.

As far as he knew, a month in reality was equivalent to ten thousand years within the inner demon tribulation. The longer one stayed in it, the easier it was to get lost in it until one was completely trapped and unable to extricate oneself.

"It's been almost three months, and it's also been three months for Lü Dongbin. Is it true that all those who have survived the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation experience the same inner demon tribulation?"

Emperor Xia pondered this, then looked at Xia Mangqing: "Can he break through the illusion at the last moment?"

After an unknown amount of time, the Xia Emperor saw Xia Mangqing's eyes tremble slightly, a tear slide down from the corner of his eye, and his own eyes slowly open.

"Inner demons, inner demons..."

Xia Mangqing sighed. The world of inner demons lasted for 30,000 years. Although it was just a dream, the fact that it lasted for such a long time was hundreds of times longer than the years he had experienced in his previous and present lives. How could he not feel moved?

However, when he looked back at his inner demons, he also noticed some abnormalities. For example, his cheat system was incomplete in the world of inner demon tribulation and could not manifest a perfect world, which made the difficulty of the inner demon tribulation much lower.

Otherwise, even with a cheat-like advantage, he felt that the tribulation of inner demons was something he couldn't possibly overcome at the third level of mental strength, and he might not even be able to overcome the fourth level.

Even so, his inner demon tribulation was comparable to that of Lü Dongbin, and he could only barely overcome the third level of mental strength.

"Thirty thousand years of memories can be seen as another life. Afterwards, one can carefully experience them, and one's mental strength should be able to be improved."

Xia Mangqing thought to himself.

At that moment, celestial music suddenly rang out, auspicious clouds descended from the sky, and golden lotuses emerged from the ground.

A terrifying pressure descended, and surging power of heaven and earth converged upon Xia Mangqing. Heaven and earth spontaneously began to change Xia Mangqing's second primordial spirit.

Its second primordial spirit body, divine soul, purple mansion space, and golden lotus primordial spirit all began to merge at this moment. Under normal circumstances, this would only condense a third-grade golden core, and its strength would be far inferior to that of a celestial god.

However, Xia Mangqing had already refined nine kinds of thunder-based wonders and integrated them into the Golden Lotus Primordial Spirit. At this moment, everything in the second primordial spirit began to merge, and the faint phantom of the Suanni within the Golden Lotus Primordial Spirit became increasingly solid.

"roar!"

It sounded like thunder, like the roar of a beast.

In a short while, a ball of lightning rose from the Golden Lotus Primordial Spirit, constantly pulsating, like a young Suanni. The endless lightning patterns seemed to be explaining the essence of lightning. Finally, the lightning condensed and transformed into a dazzling, perfectly round golden pill!

Within the Golden Core space, endless lightning raged, as if a pure-blooded Suanni was roaring in anger.

The Suanni Golden Elixir is complete!

Rumbling--

In reality, thunderous sounds gradually arose, and the original body transformed into the body of a celestial being, entirely composed of celestial magical power.

At this moment, the second primordial spirit is essentially this Suanni Golden Pill. The true spirit and the divine soul have been merged and are no longer separate. With each breath, Xia Mangqing can even feel a sense of transcendence, and the vast celestial power permeates his entire body.

"Hahaha, disciple, congratulations on transcending your tribulation and becoming an immortal! From now on, you are beyond the Three Realms and no longer bound by the Five Elements!"

The Xia Emperor arrived shortly afterward and burst into laughter.

Among his disciples, there is now another Celestial Immortal, one who has survived the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation and possesses astonishing talent and potential. His future achievements will be extraordinary, and he may even surpass him.

How could he not be happy in such a situation?

"I also want to thank my master for his guidance over the years."

Xia Mangqing smiled.

"I didn't teach you that much," Emperor Xia said with a frank smile. "Besides, a master can only lead you through the door; the cultivation depends on the individual. Whether you can become an immortal depends on yourself, so you don't need to flatter me."

"However, there are some things I do need to tell you."

"Please give me your instructions, Master," Xia Mangqing said.

Emperor Xia nodded: "Your second primordial spirit is undergoing the tribulation of the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation. My own tribulation will only make me stronger, so don't be anxious. With your strength, ordinary tribulations and tribulations are unlikely to threaten you. I don't need to rush to undergo the tribulation."

"I will also consult your grandmaster and try to obtain some treasures and supernatural powers that can enhance your strength."

"When everything is ready and your strength has reached its limit, then you can begin the tribulation of your true self. Do you understand?"
