From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal Chapter 346 - 341: Tribulation Crossing

"There’s no harm in telling everyone the reason behind this matter; after all, they are but dusty old tales."

Seeing the crowd gaze with a mix of solemnity and curiosity, Li Changqing began to narrate without haste.

He was not at all worried about the safety of his elder brother Zhao.

"The reason the Five Elents Sect was annihilated was not only because a tide of a hundred thousand Demon Beasts attacked, but also because three Nascent Soul Demons joined forces, attempting to overthrow this ancient Human Sect and seize a Divine Artifact."

"However, even without a Nascent Soul Cultivator to oversee them, and relying solely on a group of Golden Core Cultivators, the Five Elents Sect still dealt a significant blow to the Demon Clan, displaying inconceivable combat power."

"Led by the last Sect Master of the Five Elents Sect, the entire sect spared no cost, unleashing their final resources, completely activating the Five Elents Ring, and with the combined might of all sect disciples, they suppressed these Nascent Soul Demons and the tide of beasts, cutting off all their life force."

Li Changqing looked at the Five-Colored Mountain before him, his eyes filled with respect and admiration for the ancestors of the Human Clan:

"However, the vitality of the Nascent Soul Demons is incredibly strong; the greatest power of the Five Elents Sect was only Golden Core Perfection, underestimating the mysteries of Primordial Spirit infants, who can travers the void with their Divine Soul."

"When the predecessors of my Longevity Dao discovered this relic, they unexpectedly found that although the bodies of the three Great Demons had been refined and suppressed to death, their Divine Souls and True Spirits still existed."

"The True Spirits of the Nascent Soul Demons had infiltrated the Five Elents Ring, and over tens of thousands of years, they intertwined and fused with the Artifact Spirit, completely transforming into a monster, indistinguishable from each other."

Everyone, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but marvel at the tenacity of the Nascent Soul Demons’ life force, while also causing so worries to arise.

"Since the anomaly was detected early on, why didn’t this predecessor of the Longevity Dao personally take action to erase the True Spirits of these three Great Demons?"

Fang Rulong from the Beast Taming Sect inquired with curiosity and confusion, unable to comprehend such an approach, questioning whether it was deliberately endangering the younger generation disciples?

"The True Spirit of the Great Demon and the Artifact Spirit of the Five Elents Ring are fused into one; forcibly erasing it would severely damage this powerful Spiritual Treasure, causing its rank to fall."

"Moreover, if fortunate and with a determined will, this perilous nine deaths and one life could instead turn into a supre opportunity."

Li Changqing gazed at the summit of the Five Elents Mountain and suddenly saw a burst of lightning. His expression beca sowhat more solemn: "It has begun. Everyone, please watch with and refrain from moving around, lest you disturb the layout prepared by the predecessors of our Immortal Dynasty."

With a wave of his sleeve robe, he took out a treasure mirror, which emitted a faint silvery light, instantly reflecting the scene at the mountaintop.

Li Quanqing also looked over and imdiately saw at the very top of the Five Elents Mountain, the Five Elents Essence Qi was surging like a tide, and the demon clouds filled the sky like a sea.

A skeleton sat quietly, draped in a Daoist robe embroidered with five-colored clouds, manifesting the interactions of the Five Elents. It was still full of spiritual light.

In the arms of this skeleton, the Five Elents Ring quietly floated, emitting dazzling rays like a small sun, dyeing the ivory bones into a brilliant array of colors.

Zhao Qian was seated opposite, with his hand touching the Five Elents Ring, his eyes tightly closed. His face showed signs of pain, with blood like little serpents flowing from his seven orifices.

"Even if just a residual True Spirit entangles, these deceased Nascent Soul Demons will naturally seek out living beings, attempting to possess them and be reborn."

Li Quanqing listened to these words, carefully observing, and imdiately noticed fine trails of demon energy escaping from the surface of the Five Elents Ring, intending to possess Zhao Qian’s Mud Pill Palace.

He noticed that the five-colored treasure light emanating from the Five Elents Ring was not flawlessly unified.

Instead, it was distinctly separate, forming two conflicting color streams.

Among them, the azure, blue, and gold treasure lights were densely wrapped with demon energy, seemingly dominant, clearly occupied by the Demons’ Spiritual Treasure essence.

The remaining red and yellow lights were sowhat dim, devoid of demon energy, instead giving off a sacred feeling, obviously the Artifact Spirit’s power resisting.

"So the three Nascent Soul Demons respectively mastered the powers of the Wood Elent, Water Elent, and Gold Elent. Does this signify the Tao they cultivated in their original demon bodies?"

Li Quanqing kept these details firmly in mind.

He watched Zhao Qian, who was painfully resisting the possession, his whole body trembling, and he likewise contemplated how to break the deadlock.

After pondering, it seed that only one final thod remained.

Indeed, just in the next mont, Zhao Qian’s mana surged skyward, stirring up the wind and clouds, awakening the highest will.

In his last sliver of clarity, he forcibly invoked the power of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, intending to take the three Great Demons through the thunder tribulation with him!

At this mont, everyone present discerned Zhao Qian’s intention, all watching intently, Li Quanqing likewise held his breath.

For a Golden Core Cultivator, witnessing the tribulation of a Nascent Soul is a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity, with no detail to be missed.

Rumbling!

The black clouds in the sky rolled like boiling water, producing deafening roars as the thunder light gathered, transforming into vast power from heaven.

Even though this place is self-contained as a Grotto Heaven, it still cannot block the powers of the Heavenly Dao, shattering down as a heavenly tribulation, piercing through the blue do, and seeming to tear the very heavenly vault!

Zhao Qian, relying on his last vestiges of control over his body, actually released all defenses, willingly crashing into the tribulation, seemingly to find life in death!

This action clearly frightened the muddled True Spirits of the demons within the Five Elents Ring.

After tens of thousands of years of refining, even the remaining True Spirits of the three Nascent Soul Demons had lost their intelligence, leaving only survival instincts, and constantly fused with the Artifact Spirit.

This was also why Li Changqing prevented everyone from ascending the Five Elents Mountain, to stop giving the demons a second possession target, disrupting the Longevity Dao’s plans.

At this mont, the demons had only one choice, they couldn’t watch as Zhao Qian’s body was destroyed in the tribulation.

Thus, they fully activated the power of the Five Elents Ring, unapologetically attempting to shield the body from the descending tribulation lightning.

Rumbling!

Lightning after lightning descended with rolling sounds, and the power of heaven was vast, causing the Five Elents Mountain to shake and spew out imnse Essence Qi and demon clouds.

Li Quanqing watched unblinkingly, even proactively took out his Image Capturing Pearl, copying every last detail shown in the mirror, as did the other Golden Core Cultivators.

The Golden Core tribulation is rely nine strikes, but the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation boasts a staggering thirty-six, an incredible sight.

Even with the Five Elents Ring’s protection, Zhao Qian still received significant injuries, with his skin cracking and bright red blood trickling from the corners of his mouth.

Rumbling!

When the last strike of the tribulation fell, the entire Five Elents Ring shone brightly, raising a dazzling five-colored light shield in protection.

Crack!!

Even so, a strand of lightning, as thick as an arm, pierced through many obstructions, directly splitting Zhao Qian’s flesh.

From his dantian, gold-red flas erupted, transforming into a phoenixed bird taking flight, eventually holding in its beak a Golden Core, brilliant and luminous!
