Translator: StarveCleric Editor: StarveCleric
Knowing that this wasn’t a good ti for his mind to be wandering around the place, Zhang Xuan curbed the dizziness in his head and focused his attention on the silhouette on the stone platform.
At this mont, the silhouette seed to be undergoing a similar experience as him. Heavenly flas descending from the heavens seared him rcilessly, turning him into the color of black charcoals. His aura withered swiftly under the heat, and it felt as if he would wilt and breathe his last.
Just as his aura grew so feeble that it was nearly indiscernible, a small seed of energy suddenly sprouted from his body. The small seed of energy grew relentlessly in the face of the heat, accumulating power and vitality. Before long, it had already developed into a colossal tree.
The silhouette remained completely motionless throughout the process, but his presence seed to be growing bigger and bigger. It ca to a point where it seed to tower over everything in the world.
This is... Resurgence After Desolation, Revival After Demise? Zhang Xuan’s heart jolted in astonishnt.
With the arrival of autumn, the resplendent world would gradually wilt and lose all vitality, leaving nothing but piles of discarded autumn leaves on the ground. However, when spring returned to the world once more, everything would co back to life. Vitality would surge back into the world, resuscitating the dead and bestowing new lives!
This was the cycle of nature.
And the silhouette on the stone platform was using this cycle to his advantage.
The more I try to oppose the black fla, the greater the intensity it’ll burn with. In other words, if I choose not to oppose the heavenly fla, the temperature of the fla will lower accordingly too. If I could just lower the temperature of the black fla to a level that’s tolerable to , I’ll be able to use the heat to temper my body and gradually adapt to the heat... Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization.
This was actually a common trait amongst cultivation ordeal. Be it the lightning tribulation or the heavenly fla tribulation, their prowess of the tribulation mirrored the strength of the cultivator it was dealing with.
Take the lightning tribulation as an example, the stronger one’s cultivation was, the more powerful the lightning tribulation would be. To put it in other words, the more feeble one was, the weaker the lightning tribulation would be...
It was counterintuitive, but the key to overcoming this cultivation ordeal was to not oppose it. Otherwise, even if his Primordial Spirit had reached Aureate Body realm, he would still eventually succumb to the intense heat and pass out.
What he had to do was to feign weakness before the cultivation ordeal in order to give his body so ti to adapt to the heat.
The arrival of the winter solstice, the silencing of all beings!
Finally seeing a plausible way out of his current quandary, Zhang Xuan imdiately abandoned all attempts to ward off the heat from the black fla. Consciousness seed to have vanished from his body as he stopped breathing altogether.
It was as if winter had descended, extinguishing the flas of life under a weight of coldness. In this mont, it seed as if eternal silence had set upon the world.
Tzzzzzz!
Just as what Zhang Xuan had expected, as soon as he abandoned all resistance, the black fla realized that it had lost an opponent and swiftly cald down. As a result of that, the temperature of the black fla plumted sharply.
To make an analogy, Zhang Xuan’s zhenqi was like gasoline to the black fla. The more he tried to fend off the black fla with his zhenqi, the more domineering the black fla would beco in order to quell him.
On the other hand, if he were to seal his zhenqi together and keep it from coming into contact with the black fla, with ti, the black fla would lose its montum and extinguish.
Having given up on resistance, Zhang Xuan’s aura gradually weakened down to the point where he seed nothing more than an ordinary mortal. In reciprocation to that, the black fla also diminished to a level tolerable to him.
Under the scorching heat of the black fla, black gas began rising out of Zhang Xuan’s body. Slowly, a golden sheen erged from his physical body.
Having cultivated the Heaven’s Path Golden Body, Zhang Xuan knew that the black gas was the impurities accumulated within his body. Even if he had refined his body ti and ti again, it was nigh impossible for him to cleanse it fully.
In a sense, this was similar to no matter how many tis a person washed his body, his body would never be perfectly clean.
This was because the spiritual energy in nature was impure. This impurity was also the reason why spirit stones were divided into low-tier, middle-tier, high-tier, and pinnacle.
Even the pinnacle spirit stone, which boasted the highest purity of the spirit stones, wasn’t close to being devoid of impurities. Given that even the spiritual energy absorbed by a cultivator wasn’t perfectly clean, it was inevitable that impurities would gradually accumulate within one’s body.
The heavenly fla wielded the power to burn these impurities into black gas and expel them from a cultivator’s body. Without these impurities to hinder his bodily functions, the cultivator would be able to wield greater power at his disposal.
Gold was known to be the elent that contained the least impurities. By tempering one’s physical body over and over again, it would begin to emanate a beautiful golden sheen. This was also where the term ‘Aureate Body’ originated from.
As more and more black gas was being expelled, the golden sheen emanating from Zhang Xuan’s body grew more and more brilliant.
In the previous heavenly tribulation, he had only managed to refine his Primordial Spirit to assu a golden color. However, under the intense scorching of the black fla, his physical body and zhenqi were swiftly being purified, and they were beginning to turn golden as well.
With a light knock, a tallic reverberation sounded from his body. It was almost as if his body was a legendary weapon in the making.
I think I can start raising the temperature of the black fla...
As the black fla tempered his body, he found that the excruciating pain he had suffered previously had been reduced to a level where he could hardly feel anything anymore. This was a sign that he had already adapted to the current level of heat emanated from the black fla, and it no longer posed a threat to him anymore.
Thus, he began to drive his zhenqi.
In an instant, it was as if the world had co back to life. The frost had lted, and a surge of vitality sprouted from the depths of his body.
Hong long long!
Sensing the changes in Zhang Xuan’s body, the black fla realized that it had been duped and flew into a rage. Innurable bundles of black flas descended one after another, threatening to burn the young man down to ashes.
However, this was the exact reaction Zhang Xuan was anticipating from it.
Without any hesitation, he absorbed the bundles of black fla into his body.
Jijijiji!
It wasn’t too long ago that the black fla was a force far beyond his ans to deal, but after undergoing a period of adaptation, his body had already built up so immunity against the heat. The damage and pain inflicted on his body had both reduced to a level acceptable to him.
Black gas continued being expelled from his body, and the golden sheen on his body was becoming more and more brilliant.
At the sa ti, the floor he was sitting on had initially turned black under the heat of the black fla, but at this point, it was starting to grow translucent. Slowly but surely, it was assuming a similar appearance to the blue jadestone he had seen previously.
Slowly, Zhang Xuan felt his body adapting completely to the black fla, and he heaved a sigh of relief. A glint flashed across his eyes as he thought, It’s about ti to resolve the Innate Fetal Poison!
The Innate Fetal Poison had managed to slip into his physical body and hide in his narrowest ridians, where he was unable to reach. This ti around, he was determined to accomplish the deed once and for all!
Zhang Xuan took in a deep breath as he turned his gaze toward the ominous clouds above. With a powerful leap, he dashed right into the midst of the Empyrean Heavenly Fla.
Since he had already resolved himself to eliminate the Innate Fetal Poison, he would have to make sure to utterly obliterate it this ti around such that it wouldn’t be able to make a coback again. The bundles of black fla that descended from the ominous clouds above wasn’t sufficient to guarantee the complete destruction of the Innate Fetal Poison, so he would have to dive into the core of the black fla to carry out the deed.
Back then, he did dive into the ominous clouds with his Primordial Spirit too, but he had remained near the edges. That created an opening for the Innate Fetal Poison to get away.
He wouldn’t make such a mistake again.
Huhuhu!
As soon as he dived into the midst of the dark clouds, he imdiately felt innurable bundles of black fla swarming in his direction, threatening to drown him whole.
In the face of the frenzied assault from the black flas, Zhang Xuan opened his acupoints and devoured them frenziedly.
As the black flas surged into his ridians, he channeled them toward the area where the Innate Fetal Poison hid.
Jijiji!
At this mont, the Innate Fetal Poison was still idling by one corner, oblivious to the fact that Zhang Xuan had already summoned the heavenly fla tribulation for his physical body too. Caught off guard by the ferocious onslaught of black flas, it released a shrill shriek and quickly took flight.
“Do you think you have anywhere to run to?”
After been tortured by the Innate Fetal Poison for so long, Zhang Xuan couldn’t possibly allow it to do as it pleased anymore. Before the Innate Fetal Poison could get far away, black flas surged into the path it was intending to escape to.
Before it could even register the situation it was in, all of its paths of escape had been completely sealed.
Zhang Xuan knew how agile the Innate Fetal Poison was when it ca to fleeing, so he made sure that everything was in place before launching the decisive assault.
At this mont, due to the overwhelming quantity of black fla in him, his entire body had turned into a human-shaped black fireball. If he still couldn’t get rid of the Innate Fetal Poison with this, he could really just kill himself on a blob of tofu.
Jijiji!
Completely surrounded, the Innate Fetal Poison had no way to escape to. Engulfed in the midst of searing black flas, a piercing shriek reminiscent of a banshee’s cry shook the air. The shriek slowly dwindled before everything was reduced to silence.
It’s finally over... Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
His physical body and Primordial Spirit had been tempered by heavenly flas, and his Spiritual Perception had grown sharp enough to notice any anomaly in his body. No matter how crafty the Innate Fetal Poison was, there was no way it would be able to escape from this.
Fearing that the Innate Fetal Poison would make a coback, even after the piercing shriek faded, Zhang Xuan continued to channel black flas into his body to sear the Innate Fetal Poison. He continued the process for nearly ten minutes, stopping only when the dark clouds were beginning to dissipate.
Retracting the black flas, Zhang Xuan swiftly scanned the area where the Innate Fetal Poison had last appeared with his Spiritual Perception. His eyes widened at what he saw.
“This... What is this?” Zhang Xuan muttered in shock.
