217: The Stairway to Eternal Tribulation!

Hearing this, you gained a clear understanding of your Physical Body's strength.

Suddenly, you thought that if you could Breakthrough your Physical Body's strength to the Spirit Bone Realm here, or even a higher Realm, wouldn't that mean you would be an invincible existence upon returning to the Canglan Realm?

Thinking this, your eyes began to change, and the corners of your mouth unconsciously curved upward slightly.

Seeing the change in your expression, Xuanyuan Tianji's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over your head.

"What are you thinking?"

"Even if you Breakthrough to the Spirit Bone Realm, you might not be able to defeat an Immortal Realm!"

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that a Physical Body in the Spirit Bone Realm only gives you the strength to fight an Immortal Realm, but there is also a gap between ordinary and Heavenly Tribulation within the Immortal Realm.

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that the lower a Body Cultivator's Realm, the stronger their combat power; conversely, the higher their Realm, the less they can defeat a Cultivator.

"Unless..."

"Unless you can Breakthrough to the Saint Realm Physical Body!"

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that although a Body Cultivator's combat power decreases with higher Realm, once they Breakthrough to the Saint Realm, their combat power will undergo a qualitative change.

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that a Body Cultivator at that level can achieve a single force breaking all methods, and most Divine Abilities can be shattered with a single punch.

After hearing this, you once again began to yearn for Physical Body Becoming Saint, and you asked her how far you were from a Saint Realm Physical Body.

Xuanyuan Tianji initially didn't want to tell you, but seeing your determined gaze, she sighed.

"After the Spirit Bone Realm is the Immortal Realm, where the Physical Body has completely broken free from the limitations of a mortal body."

"From the Immortal Realm onward, the Physical Body will become an Incarnation of Immortality, never decaying, and will even emit a fragrance."

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that after the Immortal Realm is the Saint Body Realm.

"The Saint Body Realm is not yet the Saint Realm, but it is the beginning of the Saint Realm, and after that is the Saint Realm!"

Upon hearing that you were only four Realms away from a Saint Realm Physical Body, you dismissively waved your hand.

"Only four Realms apart, it shouldn't be difficult!"

Xuanyuan Tianji almost couldn't help but curse when she heard you say that.

Xuanyuan Tianji told you not to be fooled by the few Realms of a Body Cultivator; Breakthrough is not easy at all.

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that many Body Cultivators are stuck in the Immortal Realm their entire lives, and even Breakthrough to an Immortal Physical Body is extremely difficult, let alone the Saint Realm.

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that because Body Cultivation is difficult to Cultivate, and their combat power is not comparable to Cultivation before Physical Body Becoming Saint, there are almost no Body Cultivators seen now.

You, who were originally full of confidence, felt greatly disheartened after hearing Xuanyuan Tianji's words.

"Alright, you're not a Body Cultivator to begin with. The main purpose of Body Refining is to increase the probability of Undergoing Tribulation of the Chaos Lightning Tribulation!"

"You should know that the Immortal-Demon Body is even more terrifying than Physical Body Becoming Saint!"

After some comfort from Xuanyuan Tianji, you regained your confidence.

Just as she said, your main purpose for coming here to Body Refining was to prepare for Undergoing Tribulation.

At the same time, you were also curious about Xuanyuan Tianji's purpose for Body Refining.

Through the previous conversations, you also knew that the path of Body Refining is very difficult and unrewarding before Physical Body Becoming Saint.

So, you asked Xuanyuan Tianji.

Xuanyuan Tianji simply told you: the more the merrier!

It was clear that you felt Xuanyuan Tianji's answer was perfunctory, but you didn't press further.

You continued to move forward!

Amidst the clouds and mist, you completely lost track of time, seeing day and night.

Three days later!

You looked at Xuanyuan Tianji, covered in sweat, and asked her if she had figured out the situation here.

After walking for so long, although the surrounding clouds and mist obscured your vision, you could clearly feel that you were walking on steps.

However, you didn't know where these steps ultimately led.

Due to gravity, your progress was very slow.

From your perspective, although you weren't sure how much time had passed, you clearly remembered how many steps you had walked.

So far, you had walked a full one thousand two hundred and thirty steps.

Xuanyuan Tianji looked deeply at the ground beneath her feet.

After a long while, Xuanyuan Tianji spoke.

"This place... is very likely the Myriad Tribulation Staircase!"

"Myriad Tribulation Staircase?"

Upon hearing these four words, you instinctively thought that the steps beneath your feet likely numbered ten thousand.

Immediately after, Xuanyuan Tianji's explanation confirmed your thoughts.

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that the Myriad Tribulation Staircase, as its name implies, has a total of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine stone steps.

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that every thousand steps of these nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine stone steps, the gravity would increase by a hundredfold, and every hundred steps, the gravity would increase by tenfold.

As soon as she finished speaking, you instantly realized that it was indeed as Xuanyuan Tianji said.

The moment you entered the clouds and mist, you were immediately affected by a hundredfold gravity, and as you continued to go deeper, this gravity continuously increased.

At first, you didn't know the reason, but now that you heard this explanation, you suddenly understood.

Currently, you had reached one thousand two hundred steps, and the gravity you were experiencing was two hundred and twenty times.

"Not only that, but for every thousand steps, the power of the surrounding purple Divine Lightning will also increase exponentially."

"It seems this isn't naturally formed; it was artificially created!"

Xuanyuan Tianji looked up expectantly in the direction of the steps, and although layers of clouds and mist met her gaze, her eyes seemed to pierce through the clouds and mist, reaching the summit of the mountain.

Xuanyuan Tianji told you that if this place was an artificially created Trial Grounds, then it meant there would be a reward for this trial at the summit of the mountain.

In an instant, you seemed to realize something as well, and your gaze turned fiery as you looked above the clouds and mist.

Just as Xuanyuan Tianji said, it reminded you of Sword Mountain in the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.

Back then, when you first entered Sword Mountain, Sword Mountain also seemed like a trial, and upon reaching the summit, you would have the chance to obtain a tai xu sword fragment.

Thinking this, your heart began to anticipate what kind of good things would be at the summit.

You licked the corner of your mouth and continued to move forward!

Gradually, you reached the two thousand step mark.

Upon reaching the two thousandth stone step, you noticed that the color of the surrounding purple Divine Lightning began to darken slightly, and its power became even more intense.

After being struck by this purple Divine Lightning, which contained a trace of black, your body had already begun to seep blood.

"Fortunately, I have the True Dragon Precious Body for recovery!"
