Chapter 881: Insight From the Tribulation
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
To all the practitioners, the Earthly Immortal Tribulation was not something fabulous. Once they smoothly underwent it, they would have a wonderful life. Otherwise, they had to face death in their remaining years.
However, every successful practitioner desired for this tribulation.
The reason was that the triumphant experience meant they would be immortal and eternal.
Although the Immortal were experts who shared the same life with the world and they almost had an infinite lifespan, their life would come to an end with the end of an era when the world is destroyed. There is even no need to wait for this to happen because when the Deva’s Five Decrepit Phenomena begin to play a part in earthly affairs, many immortals would not be able to carry on with their lives.
The Deva’s Five Decrepit Phenomena was only a sign that the practitioner grew old. The Dharma Ending Age showed that they have aged. Hence, the Dharma Ending Tribulation was the tribulation that they were most afraid of.
Zhou Bao had the Immortal cultivation and his accumulation was not strong enough to let him challenge the Earthly Immortal Tribulation and even to trigger it. Nonetheless, he was lucky this time. A Tribulation Taker had fired everything and launched the great Earthly Immortal Tribulation. Zhou Bao wanted to take this opportunity to attain the highest level in one leap and become an Earthly Immortal himself.
Without mentioning about the probability of success for this scheme, it should be noted that ordinary people were not equipped with such resourcefulness and confidence.
Ghost Child was silent now. His concern was not about the thunderbolts in the sky. He was mostly worried about the numerous metallic planets dropping down.
Why were they called the metallic planets instead of the metallic globes?
It was because they were very big. Even the smallest one had a diameter of 5,000 km. Nobody knew their weight. Such globes could be regarded as planets. Many planets floating in the hollow also had a similar size.
Those metallic globes were incredibly heavy and absolutely powerful, so Zhou Bao did not dare to attack them. After a smash with his fist, he prepared to fight the Tree of Seven Wonders.
Till now, he had not understood the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique totally, but he was successful in practicing the other six wonderful techniques. The Tree of Seven Wonders in his hand was not a sprout long before. Now it was a ten-inch long purple bamboo stick, giving off colorful light wrapping Zhou Bao and preventing him from being upset by the Deva’s Five Decrepit Phenomena. What was more, the Divine Tribulation seemed not to work before the Seven Wonderful Techniques. Besides, with the use of it, Zhou Bao began to doubt the way it was chosen. Was the Extreme Realm of Force, crushing vacuum, really amongst the top 3,000 Great Ways? Could it surely surpass the Seven Wonderful Techniques in a complete state? Based on the current situation, the metallic globes fell down continuously. Each one brought a power equalling to that of Zhou Bao’s fist. Some bigger ones caused a great impact which equaled Zhou Bao’s all-out combat effectiveness. Facing such a powerful force, the Tree of Seven Wonders just stroked one time and released its whole force. Sometimes, it hit back the metallic planets which then collided with the falling planets and shattered.
“Seven Wonderful Techniques. Tree of Seven Wonders. They are indeed the reflection of the World Tree. It possessed such an overwhelming power before I finish practicing the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique. If I could have understood it totally, then—! Gradually, Zhou Bao’s eyes became blurry.
“Not good! The damned guy seems to be used!” Ghost Child hid somewhere because he was afraid of the Earthly Immortal Tribulation’s power. As he was the red gourd’s device spirit; the red gourd had been refined by Zhou Bao. In this way, they connected with each other with their mind. When Zhou Bao started to doubt himself, Ghost Child felt that things had gone wrong. “Hey guy, what’re you doing? Why are you in a daze? Don’t be killed by the falling planets!” As he roared, a divine thought turned into a needle and suddenly stabbed Zhou Bao’s spirit.
“Hiss—” Taken aback by surprise, Zhou Bao gasped deeply. He felt a terrible force falling unto him before he realized what had happened.
“Oh no!” The Tree of Seven Wonders picked itself up fiercely.
“Boom!”
This time round, he was not as lucky as before. Even the Tree of Seven Wonders almost flew from his hands after it had been shaken by the great power.
“What’s this?”
A metallic planet knocked him away. But it was very different from what he had seen. This one was wrapped by golden lightning and big beams with crack sound. It also revealed a destructive fate. Seeing that with his eyes, Zhou Bao felt very nervous internally.
Was it the tribulation?
From the very beginning, he suffered the physical attack from the Earthly Immortal Tribulation while now he was synchronously experiencing the thunderbolt and lightning attack. Moreover, the physical attack was seemingly stronger.
More and more such metallic planets emerged. Except for those big thunderbolts and lightning, they were also larger. Even the power of the Seven Wonderful Techniques could not stand it slowly. Meanwhile, Zhou Bao dodged in a quicker speed.
“What happened just now?” As he moved, he asked Ghost Child gloomily.
“Internal Demons. You questioned your way, so your heart was interrupted by them. Now you’ve recovered, but you may take a long time to destroy it. Hehe. You are in big trouble!”
“In big trouble? So what if I need a long time. It’s just a matter of time. And I have so much time!”
“No. It’s not the case. Buddy. The Internal Demons from the Earthly Immortal Tribulation are different from others. They don’t intend to kill you. Of course, if you can’t bear them, it just shows your incapability. Its biggest function is to sow the seed of Internal Demons. The seed then hides deep in your soul in the future. Someday, when you are in the tribulation, it will work. You’ve already got it. The seed is in your soul now. You will face trouble if you want to be a Celestial Immortal!”
“Shit! I haven’t become an Earthly Immortal. Why do I want to be a Celestial Immortal?” Zhou Bao scolded himself with a low voice and kept moving in the river of metallic planets. He mainly evaded and warded off the dropping tribulations with his Tree of Seven Wonders under confident circumstances.
“How many metallic planets are there?” Slowly, they blunted Zhou Bao. He did not know how long it had been. It seemed that the metallic planets would not stop, which made him despair. He could almost revive because of his perfect practice of several techniques, like the Qi restoration of Dharma Power-restoring Skill, the return of Red Centipede Peace, the recovery of Immortal Body Technique and the strong resilience of
Primordial Demonic Ape bloodline and Mysterious Divine Light. Without them, he could have turned into fine powder.
“It must be wrong. How could it be? The Earthly Immortal Tribulation is so violent at its beginning. How can an ordinary Immortal survive it? Even the Earthly Immortals are destroyed by it.”
“It’s not the common Earthly Immortal Tribulation. This one appeared after a Tribulation Taker has burned his fate out, his Merit and Qi of heaven and earth and even his life. Do you suppose it is same with the common ones? It’s just a beginning. Huh? Are you regretting it now?”
“Regreting? I’m not!” Zhou Bao laughed and suddenly raised his Tree of Seven Wonders. It immediately radiated scattered lights. The tribulations disappeared where the colorful brilliance went as if they met their nemesis.
“Em? What’s going on?” Zhou Bao was shocked by it, showing an eccentric expression.
“What’s up?”
“Somehow I have a little bit understanding of the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique!” said Zhou Bao, his puzzled expression disappearing. He did not frequently wield the Tree of Seven Wonders as what he had done and just created mysterious traces in the air as if he found the right way to play it. All the Divine Tribulations vanished as they approached the traces. He was confident in them because he had no obstruction. The torrent of metallic planet were followed by the giant woods. The tribulation thunders, which were contained in the Heavenly Fire, the abstruse water, the thick earth, the spring-like wind and the tribulation cloud, were so powerful subsequently that they could destroy a macro world. They were also falling. However, Zhou Bao did not care about them. His ancient thoughts of primitive times came to him from the hollow. They were all the implications of the Seven Wonderful Techniques. They reminded Zhou Bao of the situation when he had once met the Innate Deity’s remains when he was in the Taiyuan Heaven. At that time, he gained great benefits. His first fairy weapon, Furnace of Immortality, was also achieved. He also got the message from the ancient thoughts. There was only one difference. He did not understand the message given by the Innate Deity then. However, this time, he could comprehend the message from the hollow after he had operated the Seven Wonderful Techniques, which helped him further grasp the use of Seven Wonderful Techniques and made it better. His purple bamboo stick had become more flawless and gorgeous. The colorful radiance had nearly condensed into substance. He had ruined half of this tribulation’s spirit. Ghost Child, who had great experience, was struck dumb with astonishment. How could it be? How did it happen? It was the Earthly Immortal Tribulation. It was rarely seen and too abnormal.
Indeed, it was unusual! Did somebody go through it in this way?
He was bewildered. But by now, Zhou Bao seemed to have been immersed in a fantastic state, so the tribulation did not cause any harm or effect on him.
Judging by Zhou Bao’s behavior, he looked liked he was in a state of enlightenment and was being influenced by Internal Demons at the same time. This time, Ghost Child did not dare to pierce him. Obviously, if he disturbed Zhou Bao’s wonderful state, Zhou Bao would not be nice to him as before.
