377: Refining the Tribulation Pill and flying into the universe

In the Cave Heaven Small World, Li Mu, after a long period of Cultivation, finally reached the Middle Stage of Refining Void and Combining Dao Level.

He slowly opened his eyes, a hint of clarity flashing within them.

The nearby Exquisite Little Fox and Big Yellow sensed the change in Li Mu's Qi and rushed over.

The Exquisite Little Fox happily leaped and circled around Li Mu, emitting crisp calls, as if celebrating for him.

Big Yellow obediently lay beside Li Mu, gently rubbing his leg with his head, expressing his joy.

Li Mu felt their enthusiasm and a smile appeared on his face.

He reached out his hand and gently stroked the Exquisite Little Fox's head; the little fox comfortably narrowed her eyes.

Then, he patted Big Yellow's back, and Big Yellow let out a low whimper, seemingly in response to him.

"After returning from various Small Worlds last time, I have been diligently Cultivating without the slightest slack.

Now, I have finally successfully advanced a small stage, and my strength has reached a higher level.

Next, I will go all out to make full preparations for Breaking Through from the Mortal Realm into the Immortal Realm."

Li Mu stood up, slowly stretched his body, and felt the powerful force surging within him.

His heart was filled with wild joy, because he knew that his efforts and persistence had finally paid off.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadow upon him.

Li Mu bathed in the sunlight, quietly gazing into the distance, his eyes revealing a sense of determination and self-confidence.

However, when he thought about the upcoming Breakthrough, a hint of worry couldn't help but well up in his heart.

A Cultivator at the Refining Void and Combining Dao Level Realm must undergo the baptism of the Lightning Tribulation to shed their mortal body and achieve an Immortal physique.

Only by successfully Withstanding the Lightning Tribulation can one truly be reborn and become an Immortal; otherwise, if one fails, they will suffer the pain of 'Soldier Dissolution,' and their body will completely dissipate.

And this 'Soldier Dissolution' is not death in the ordinary sense, but means the complete dissipation of the Soul, with no possibility of Rebirth.

However, the most difficult challenge for a Refining Void and Combining Dao Level Realm Cultivator to shed their mortal body and achieve an Immortal physique is enduring the Lightning Tribulation.

Lightning Tribulations can be divided into three types: Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, and Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

Among them, the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is relatively weaker in power, but even so, not many people can successfully resist it.

Although these people become Immortals, their future Cultivation is limited, and they can only reach the Heavenly Immortal Rank at most, after which they can no longer continue to improve.

In contrast, the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is even more powerful, and those who can Withstand this tribulation are expected to become Golden Immortals in the future.

The Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, on the other hand, is known as the Law Heavenly Tribulation, with a total of eighty-one Heavenly Lightning bolts, each condensed from Law.

If someone can successfully resist such a Heavenly Tribulation, then their future achievements will be limitless, and they may even become a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

However, regardless of the type of Heavenly Tribulation, its difficulty is extremely high.

Even for the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, among every ten thousand Cultivators who reach the Refining Void and Combining Dao Level Realm, only about one can successfully Undergo it.

As for the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation and Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, they make countless Cultivators shrink back in fear.

Therefore, when a Refining Void and Combining Dao Level Realm Cultivator wants to shed their mortal body and achieve an Immortal physique, he needs to make many preparations.

The most effective way is to refine Formation Plates for defensive Formations and various Medicinal Pills that can replenish his physical condition at any time.

He began to think about how to better deal with this crisis.

After careful consideration, he believed that he needed to refine some special items to enhance his strength and protect himself.

First, he needed Artifact Refining Materials, which were crucial for refining Formation Plates for defensive Formations.

Fortunately, during his previous visits to various Small Worlds, he found many Artifact Refining Medicinal Materials for refining, which gave him a certain reserve.

In addition, he also found many precious medicinal herbs and spiritual plants, which could be used to refine various Medicinal Pills.

Thus, as long as all these Artifact Refining Materials and Alchemy Medicinal Materials were prepared, his chances of Undergoing the Lightning Tribulation would increase by a few points.

Therefore, Li Mu unhesitatingly took out all the Artifact Refining Medicinal Materials he had found and suspended them in the air.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of different Artifact Refining Materials appeared before his eyes, a dazzling array.

Next, he took out dozens of different medicinal herbs of different ages and varieties, which appeared one by one before his eyes.

Finally, he opened the System and carefully checked the list of required Artifact Refining Materials and medicinal herbs listed by the System.

He checked them one by one, ensuring that no important Material or medicinal herb was omitted.

Li Mu frowned, his gaze fixed on the Alchemy medicinal herbs and Artifact Refining Materials floating before him, muttering to himself, "This is truly a headache!"

Counting carefully, each type was still short by five or six portions.

However, he did not feel overly anxious because of this, as he deeply understood the power of the System—everything was available here, and as long as he had enough Deception Points, anything could be easily bought.

He quickly found the missing medicinal herb Materials in the System's search bar, and then glanced at the Deception Points he had accumulated so far.

Seeing the ample number, he unhesitatingly clicked the purchase button.

A moment later, the successfully purchased medicinal herbs and Materials appeared one by one before his eyes, merging with the previously suspended medicinal herbs and Materials.

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, a smile appearing on his face.

As long as these preparations before the tribulation were properly completed, he would have a few more chances of success.

Next, he needed to find a suitable place for his tribulation, so that he could successfully achieve Immortal Ascension, shed his mortal body, and achieve an Immortal physique.

But before that, he must first successfully complete the Artifact Refining and Medicinal Pill Alchemy before him.

He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and began to prepare for Artifact Refining and Alchemy.

Li Mu first purchased two Pill Furnaces from the System, one for Artifact Refining and one for Alchemy.

He waved his hands, using Spiritual Qi to throw the medicinal herbs into the Pill Furnace and place the Artifact Refining Materials into the Artifact Refining Furnace.

Li Mu also purchased an expensive Spiritual Fire from the System to refine Medicinal Pills and Artifacts.

Time passed by minute by minute, the flames in the Pill Furnace burned fiercely, and the Materials and medicinal herbs gradually melted and fused under the high temperature.

Sweat slowly seeped from Li Mu's forehead, but his gaze remained firm, not daring to relax in the slightest.

After an unknown amount of time, a slight vibration suddenly came from the Pill Furnace, followed by a rich aroma that permeated the air.

Li Mu's heart rejoiced; he knew that the Tribulation-Passing Pill was about to succeed.

He quickly got up and opened the lid of the Pill Furnace, only to see five crystal-clear Medicinal Pills quietly lying at the bottom of the furnace, emitting an enchanting glow.

Li Mu carefully took out the Tribulation-Passing Pills and placed them in a jade bottle, then turned to look at the Artifact Refining Furnace.

The Materials in the Artifact Refining Furnace had also been melted, and Li Mu began to forge several Formation Plates according to his design.

His movements were skilled and precise, each action full of power and rhythm.

Finally, after a long wait, Li Mu successfully refined dozens of Formation Plates.

All of them were to be used during the Tribulation to block the Heavenly Lightning.

Moreover, these defensive Formations were extremely simple to use; one only needed to infuse Spiritual Qi into the defensive Formation when using it to directly activate the Formation Plate.

He wiped his sweat, put away all dozens of Formation Plates, and then stretched.

"It's finally done.

Next is finding a place to Undergo the Tribulation."

At this moment, the sky outside the window had already turned a fish-belly white, and Li Mu leaned back in his chair, exhausted, a satisfied smile on his face.

Only the Fierce Tiger Sparring Partner and Big Yellow looked at Li Mu eagerly, their eyes shining brightly as they stared at him.

The Exquisite and Little Fox next to them were sound asleep, occasionally letting out small snores.

Big Yellow: That was actually a Tribulation-Passing Pill just now; Master is so amazing.

Fierce Tiger:!!!

Li Mu smiled; they were thinking about his Tribulation-Passing Pills.

He shook his head, finally confirming the Tribulation-Undergoing location, and immediately left the Cave Heaven Small World, flying towards the Universe...
