Chapter 255 The Formula Is Still The Familiar Smell

It’s here!

The Tribulation Transcendence that he was most likely to take reference from actually gave him a small surprise. At that moment, he had already transcended the tribulation! That was decades earlier than Li Changshou had expected! That was also why Li Changshou was worried. According to Li Changshou’s observation, there was still room for improvement in Exalted Wang Qing’s Dao base. However, Exalted Wang Qing must have his own considerations for choosing to undergo the Tribulation Transcendence at that moment…

Right?

The Tribulation Transcendence was no small matter. No one dared to be reckless. The reason that Exalted Wang Qing chose to undergo the Tribulation Transcendence today could not be a ridiculous reason like “We have to do it sooner or later, so the earlier we get it over and done with the less worried we will be.”

The Tribulation Cloud was born in the four directions of heaven and earth. It gathered with the vast heavenly might.

The sky suddenly turned gloomy. It was as if a rain of mud was about to fall. All living beings within a five-thousand-kilometer radius were alarmed. The world was filled with a murderous aura!

Li Changshou stood in the sky of the Little Qiong Peak. Like the Qi Refinement cultivators in the sect, he looked in the direction of the Heaven-Breaking Peak…

Over there, a figure slowly rose into the sky. His white hair danced in the wind. He stood proudly with his hands behind his back and faced the Heavenly Tribulation.

However, after that, Exalted Wang Qing’s figure flew towards the desolate mountain outside the sect. The Tribulation Cloud above followed the figure like a kite that was having its string pulled. The scale of the Tribulation Cloud…

It was not a big deal. After Exalted Wang Qing flew away, the mountain-protecting array formation was completely activated. It was much thicker than before. The first ones to follow him were the two Golden Immortals of the sect, the Sect Leader, Daoist Wuyou, and the old guard of the Dao Repository Hall who was the benevolent elder of Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu, Elder Qi Ling. They followed from behind and stood guard for Exalted Wang Qing, who was about to transcend the Golden Immortal Tribulation. The Golden Immortal Tribulation was not like the Immortal Ascension Tribulation. If there were any disturbances, it would be easy for him to fail.

Exalted Wang Qing had already chosen the place for the Tribulation Transcendence. He had also made some protective arrangements in advance.

Why did he go out to transcend the tribulation? The logic was simple. If one were to undergo Tribulation Transcendence in the sect, the disciples would probably be shocked by the Heavenly Might and develop demonic resistances in their Dao hearts.

Secondly, the mountain-protecting array formation could probably be rebuilt but it would cause a large monetary loss to the Immortal Du Sect.

Li Changshou scanned his surroundings with his immortal senses and could hear the discussions everywhere.

“Does the Immortal Du Sect have another Golden Immortal?”

“Is this the Golden Immortal Tribulation? The heavenly might alone is shocking…” “Can he make it through?” “That’s Exalted Wang Qing! A mere Heavenly Tribulation is nothing to him!”

Li Changshou thought for a while and sent a voice transmission to his master and junior sister, telling them not to move around on the Little Qiong Peak.

Then, he chose a paper effigy and immediately rode a cloud to follow.

As soon as he flew out, Li Changshou saw another figure flying out of Pill Tripod Peak. He hurriedly sent a voice transmission.

“Elder, please bring me along!”

Elder Wan Linyun immediately returned and pulled Li Changshou along. The old man did not ask why Li Changshou wanted to go over. He only said, “The power of the Golden Immortal Tribulation is too strong. If you can’t hold on any longer later, retreat immediately.” “Yes, I understand.” Then, Elder Wan Linyun rode a cloud and led Li Changshou out of the sect. They chased after him.

Elder Wan Linyun was not the only one. There were also seven to eight Grand Elders and elders who went out together. With the desolate mountain as the center, they spread out in a radius of 150 kilometers and guarded Exalted Wang Qing. Jiang Lin’er rushed over. When she saw Li Changshou following beside Elder Wan Linyun, she subconsciously came over. “Why did you run out?” Jiang Lin’er questioned as she glared at Li Changshou. “I’m here to experience the Tribulation of Longevity in advance.” Li Changshou smiled and continued, “I’m doing so to strengthen myself and work towards the Dao.” “You’re worrying too much,” Jiang Lin’er said softly. She wanted to persuade him further, but when she thought about how extraordinary her little grand-disciple was, she swallowed her words. Then, she looked at Exalted Wang Qing, who was standing in the sky, from afar. Her heart fluttered and she was worried.

At that moment, the Tribulation Cloud enveloped a radius of 500 kilometers. All living beings in that area retreated far away. The world turned dark. However, in the midst of the darkness, lightning suddenly flashed! At that moment, she was under the Tribulation Cloud and could not see the phenomenon above. However, he was hundreds of kilometers away from the Tribulation Transcendence location. The heavenly might still made the Heaven Immortals tremble in fear…

Jiang Lin’er’s face quickly turned pale, but she gritted her teeth and held on. Li Changshou looked at his Grandmaster and tried his best… to squeeze out some sweat from his forehead. He silently took out a jade token and began to observe while taking notes meticulously.

A good memory is not as good as a lousy pen.

Boom! Boom! Thunder rumbled, as if there was a huge carriage speeding through the clouds. The ancient Soul-Retaining Immortal King was patrolling the world!

“Fugui…” Jiang Lin’er muttered softly. Elder Wan Linyun looked at Jiang Lin’er suspiciously. Li Changshou explained to her via voice transmission. Elder Wan was enlightened. Then, Elder Wan Linyun released his immortal senses and focused most of his attention on the opposite direction. He tried his best to protect Exalted Wang Qing. Not long after, the Nine Jiu Immortals appeared. They had also rushed to where Li Changshou and Jiang Lin’er were. They faced the heavenly might and looked at their master… “Don’t disturb Master,” Jiu Yiyi instructed. “Don’t affect his mental state. Let’s just watch from here.” The eight junior brothers and sisters praised him.

On the other hand, Jiu Wu and Jiu Jiu turned to look at Li Changshou, who was hiding behind Elder Wan Linyun and sitting on the cloud with a jade token… “Changshou, why did you come here?” Jiu Wu hurriedly said, “When the Heavenly Tribulation comes later, I don’t want to hurt

you!”

“It’s fine,” Elder Wan Linyun said calmly. Jiu Wu subconsciously cringed, not daring to speak again.

Jiu Jiu placed her hands behind her back and circled half a round on the cloud. Half of her head popped out from Li Changshou’s shoulder, and a strand of hair hung down in front of his neck…

“Let me see what you’re writing.” “There are some records about the Golden Immortal Tribulation.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “The sect lacks such records. If we can sort them out, we might be able to provide a reference for the future generations.”

Jiu Jiu blinked and took the opportunity to sit beside Li Changshou. “It’s rare for you to have such thoughts.” Li Changshou smiled and remained silent. He continued to write and draw on the jade talisman.

Even Jiu Jiu, who was at the side, was not in the mood to appreciate the white snow and the Frost Shirt. She was carefully experiencing the temporary phenomenon of the Golden Immortal Tribulation.

There were also Great Daos in the Great Tribulation, which contained true intent.

At that moment, Li Changshou did not feel tired at all. He felt refreshed and did not dare to let go of any details. After waiting for a long time, he had finally waited for this day. He had finally waited for a long time for Exalted Wang Qing to become a Golden Immortal!

At the same time… in an inconspicuous mountain range in the northwest of the East Continent, a black leopard that had just condensed a demonic pill stood on a cliff and looked at the gloomy sky in the southeast direction.

“Hiss…”

It’s actually the Golden Immortal Tribulation. It’s also the Eight Desolates Eight Disasters one, which is ranked 17th in the Golden Immortal Tribulation!

The black panther blinked. Huh? How would I know that? However, the power of the Golden Immortal Tribulation is not small. It should be very difficult for the person undergoing the Tribulation Transcendence. Uh, why do I know all this? The black panther spirit was puzzled again…

After the Tribulation Cloud condensed at the Tribulation Transcendence location, a huge vortex appeared in the Tribulation Cloud. The Tribulation Cloud that covered thousands of kilometers shrank rapidly. Its area was reduced by one-third. After a while, dense lightning spots appeared in the vortex below the Tribulation Cloud. The rich power of the Heavenly Tribulation appeared, and the world was dead silent. The wind stopped, and the spiritual energy within thousands of kilometers gathered there. However, it was stagnant. Without any warning, a blue pillar of lightning fell and engulfed Exalted Wang Qing!

Li Changshou picked up his brush and quickly wrote something. The surrounding people widened their eyes, wanting to see the figure in the lightning pillar clearly… After a while, the lightning pillar dissipated. Exalted Wang Qing was still standing in the air. His long hair was a little charred, and there were a few holes in his long robe. However, he was not injured, and his immortal power was not depleted. The mountain peak below Exalted Wang Qing’s feet had been flattened. Lava flowed down from the mountain peak, as if the ground was bleeding. Li Changshou stopped writing and waited quietly for a while. Soon, he used his mind to pick up the brush and wrote a line in the jade talisman.

After the first Lightning Tribulation, the cultivator will have more time to recover.

The moment the brush stopped, the lightning pillar appeared again. This time, it turned dark blue. The lightning pillar’s volume had reduced by one-third, but its power had increased by more than thirty percent!

Exalted Wang Qing was like a rock as he split the lightning pillar in the middle. However, he was also slowly suppressed by the lightning pillar.

Jiu Jiu held her breath and subconsciously grabbed Li Changshou’s sleeve… “The first five should be fine,” Li Changshou said via voice transmission. Jiu Jiu nodded slowly, her eyes filled with concern. Qi Refinement cultivators like them had left home when they were young and followed their master to cultivate. Their relationships with their masters were the strongest. Li Changshou keenly realized that after the second bolt of lightning, the interval was slightly longer. Only then did the third bolt of lightning descend… After the third bolt of lightning, the interval was slightly longer. The fourth bolt of lightning condensed and crashed down. Li Changshou memorized all the details and calculated the time interval. It seemed to be increasing by twenty percent every time. However, as soon as the fifth Heavenly Tribulation passed, Exalted Wang Qing, who was standing quietly in the air and was preparing to transcend the sixth Heavenly Tribulation, suddenly trembled. He frowned and spat out a mouthful of blood. “Master!”

Jiu Lu’er screamed and was immediately stopped by Jiu Qi. Li Changshou frowned and sensed it. Soon, he sensed the wisps of gray smoke circling around Exalted Wang Qing. “It’s the Heart Tribulation.”

Jiu Jiu quickly asked, “What is the Heart Tribulation?”

Elder Wan Linyun said calmly, “It’s one’s training of the Dao Heart. If one’s Dao heart is not perfected, it will be very difficult to survive the training.” Fortunately, after Exalted Wang Qing and Jiang Lin’er became Dao companions, he no longer had many regrets. Although Exalted Wang Qing was injured by the Heart Tribulation, he quickly recovered and looked up at the Tribulation Cloud in the sky! He let out a long howl and his aura expanded again! The sixth Heavenly Tribulation landed and cut off Exalted Wang Qing’s long howl. It even pressed Exalted Wang Qing down onto the desolate mountain below. On the desolate mountain, colorful flames appeared for some reason. Accompanied by that bolt of lightning, countless astral winds visible to the naked eye condensed into blades and shot towards Exalted Wang Qing. Thunder, wind, heart, fire!

The Golden Immortal Tribulation finally unleashed its full power. The desolate mountain exploded in an instant. Exalted Wang Qing was pressed onto the remains of the desolate mountain. He was surrounded by the power of the Heavenly Tribulation which rubbed against him crazily!

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Therefore, in the face of the Heavenly Tribulation, he had to thank the Heavenly Dao Master first. He had to reject all forms of howling, laughing, and vomiting.

The sixth Heavenly Tribulation lasted for the duration it took for half an incense stick to burn out…

That’s right. The lightning pillar’s output, the astral wind’s execution, and the Heavenly Fire’s melting lasted for half an incense stick’s time.

After the sixth Heavenly Tribulation ended, the mental demon was still wreaking havoc and attacking the Dao heart of the person undergoing the tribulation… Speaking of which, how many Golden Immortal Tribulations does Exalted Wang Qing have?

Li Changshou deduced that there should be eight of them. If there were nine, Exalted Wang Qing would probably not be able to make it through today. After the sixth Heavenly Tribulation ended, the speed at which Exalted Wang Qing got up, the injuries all over his body, and the fluctuations in his aura… The eighth Heavenly Tribulation was also very difficult. Li Changshou looked at the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill that he had on the paper effigy. He had already obtained the Dao of refining pills imparted by the Grand Supreme Elder. Although he could not refine the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill now, he might be able to do so in the future.

If Exalted Wang Qing could not hold on any longer, he would take out the Golden Pill. What a loss… Later, he would complain to the Great Daoist Master that he would be able to obtain another Golden Immortal realm expert for the Ren School. He would not hesitate to take out the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill that could save his life. There was a high chance that he would be able to recoup his losses.

At the same time, he could sell a favor to Exalted Wang Qing and develop it into a backup plan…

That was not important!

After the seventh bolt of lightning struck, Li Changshou stood up and hesitated. At that moment, Exalted Wang Qing had already become a charred person. There was only a thirty-percent-chance that he could survive the last bolt of lightning. If he had the help of a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, he could increase his chances by about 60%. That was the heaven-defying aspect of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. If he did not have the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, he would be risking his life.

As for his Tribulation Transcendence, he could only use one Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. The power of the precious pill would continue to spread. There was no point in consuming two in a short period of time. He had originally wanted to keep the other one for Ling’e. However, it would take at least twenty to thirty years for Ling’e to become an immortal. For her, reaching the Golden Immortal Tribulation… would be difficult.

Li Changshou grabbed the porcelain bottle and was about to attack. At that moment, Exalted Wang Qing suddenly raised his hand and took out two glowing pills. He swallowed them in one gulp. His injuries were quickly suppressed, and his aura rose steadily!

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Great, I saved again. How could every Qi Refinement cultivator who could reach the Golden Immortal Tribulation not have a trump card to transcend the tribulation?

The eighth Heavenly Tribulation was a lightning ball. It contained the power of the previous seven Heavenly Tribulations and turned into astral winds, heavenly fire, mysterious ice, and lightning. It wrapped around Exalted Wang Qing and tossed him around…

Jiang Lin’er and the nine disciples of Exalted Wang Qing were extremely worried. However, Li Changshou had already seen the results of the Tribulation Transcendence. He lowered his head and began to write and draw, summarizing everything. In general, the Tribulation Transcendence this time was quite common. It should not be ranked too high in the Golden Immortal Tribulation. If he could survive it, the upper limit of his strength would be relatively low.

He estimated the situation when he transcended the tribulation…

There was a high chance that a Heavenly Tribulation in the form of wind and fire would appear at the start of the fourth Heavenly Tribulation.

There should be nine bolts of lightning or more.

Although nine was a huge number, longevity was already beyond the constraints of life and death. Therefore, there was a possibility that the tenth or eleventh bolt of lightning would appear…

From the looks of it, he still needed to sever three to four Dao Realms and prepare for the third and fourth Tribulation Transcendence plans as soon as possible. “Huh?”

Li Changshou, who was focused on summarizing the Tribulation Transcendence, suddenly felt a sudden surging in his spiritual will.

A wisp of his spiritual will landed on the statue of the Sea God in an inconspicuous Sea God Temple. Li Changshou looked at the door of the temple. There, a young man in embroidered clothes stood with a smile. Although he had delicate features and a handsome face, the smile on his lips was ultimately… evil and crazy.

Jin Chanzi?

Li Changshou felt happy for some reason. He had just accidentally discovered his second senior brother. Now, his “master” was here again!

He was a Sea God. Could it be that he was fated to meet the calamity of the Journey to the West?

Uh, could it be that I’m also an immortal in the Journey to the West…
