184: Changes after absorbing the origin of gods and demons!

The celestial phenomenon that occurred here was instantly noticed by others in the Heavenly Tribulation Dojo.

The numerous Third Ranks who were diligently advancing deeper into the Dojo all looked up in surprise.

"Heavenly Tribulation Phenomenon?!"

"Currently, the most likely person to break through is Palace Master Yue Xiyan of Yuehua Palace. I heard she ventured deep into the central area. I can barely move an inch here, so I wonder how she managed to endure it..."

"She broke through in the central area. I wonder how many Nine Heavenly Tribulations she will face..."

"..."

Chen Qingxuan, only three li away from the central area, looked up at the sky, observing the Heavenly Tribulation phenomenon with a mix of fear and longing in his eyes.

"Palace Master Yue is about to break through. Witnessing this might help me with my own breakthrough in the future."

"I just don't know how many Nine Heavenly Tribulations Palace Master Yue will trigger. The minimum should be seven, right...?"

After some thought, Chen Qingxuan exited the Heavenly Tribulation Dojo, where he had stayed for a month.

Knowing that Yue Xiyan was about to break through, everyone flew outwards.

If Yue Xiyan were to break through within the Heavenly Tribulation Dojo or in its outer perimeter, being too close would certainly result in being affected.

Yet, no one wanted to experience the might of the Nine Heavenly Tribulations prematurely.

The Third Ranks who were fleeing outwards would even pull along their own Fourth Ranks, who were moving slowly in the outer perimeter.

Even a Third Rank could not withstand a Second Rank's Nine Heavenly Tribulations; even a slight brush would instantly vaporize them...

However, those who were alone were in trouble. They couldn't move quickly enough and could only walk out with pounding hearts, praying for the Nine Heavenly Tribulations to descend slowly.

Fortunately, Yue Xiyan's breakthrough to Second Rank wasn't instantaneous; the Nine Heavenly Tribulations were still in the brewing stage and required some time.

The next moment, an irresistible spatial fluctuation enveloped the scattered people within the Heavenly Tribulation Dojo, sending them all out.

It was Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin who had just left the Dojo who made the move.

As for Li Shengyuan, he intended to observe Yue Xiyan's breakthrough to Second Rank from a close distance and would only leave after she completed her breakthrough.

Li Shengyuan needed to observe the effects of refining the God-Demon Origin on other cultivators!

Not long after, the cultivators who had been breaking through within the Heavenly Tribulation Dojo returned to Shanhai Pass.

At this time, the area was also filled with people. Li Mu and others had gathered here after sensing the Nine Heavenly Tribulations descending.

Seeing Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin appear, everyone gathered around him. Li Mu was the first to ask:

"Sect Master Fang, is Palace Master Yue about to break through?"

"That's right..." Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin nodded, then sighed, "Palace Master Yue is truly a prodigy. To be able to approach within a hundred meters of the central area with a Third Rank cultivation is simply incredible!"

"Hiss..."

Gasps of cold air immediately echoed through the scene. Only those who had personally experienced the Heavenly Tribulation Dojo knew what it meant to be within a hundred meters of the central area!

Even the fastest Third Rank from the Xuantian Sword Sect had yet to reach within one li of the central area!

Chen Qingxuan said with a shocked expression, "Palace Master Yue is too strong! I found it difficult to advance within three li, yet she can cultivate within a hundred meters?!"

The other Third Ranks also nodded in agreement.

The Fourth Ranks were even more astonished, clicking their tongues repeatedly. Advancing one li was already extremely difficult; they couldn't imagine how strong one would have to be to be within a hundred meters.

Although Li Mu had not personally experienced it, he could roughly guess from the scattered words of those around him!

Wenren Qingxuan asked with some curiosity, "Then, is Palace Master Yue's probability of successfully overcoming the tribulation high?"

Yue Xiyan would definitely be her daughter-in-law in the future, so she had to show concern for her own family.

Everyone else also looked over, wanting to infer their own chances of success in overcoming their tribulation by observing Yue Xiyan's.

Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin smiled calmly, "Brother Li told me that as long as one can cultivate easily within one li, it's not difficult to overcome the minimum Six Heavenly Tribulations!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. Although this condition was somewhat difficult to achieve, cultivating in this place was no longer without a goal!

With a reference value, overcoming tribulations in the future would undoubtedly be much more confident!

"Then there's no problem, right? After all, Xiyan is already within a hundred meters." Wenren Qingxuan showed a relaxed smile.

The people from Yuehua Palace present were also greatly excited. Was Yuehua Palace finally going to have a Second Rank expert?!

However, Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin's next words poured cold water on everyone.

"But Brother Li said that Sect Master Yue will face the Eight Heavenly Tribulations, and there's even a slight chance it could be the Nine Heavenly Tribulations..."

Silence!

The people present fell into a deathly silence.

The smiles on the faces of the Yuehua Palace members and Wenren Qingxuan instantly froze.

"What a joke! Although Xiyan is very strong, is it really necessary for the Nine Heavenly Tribulations to appear?" Wenren Qingxuan said with a grim expression.

From ancient times to the present, the Nine Heavenly Tribulations have appeared very rarely, and even fewer have successfully overcome them.

Legend has it that the Da Qian Founding Emperor was an invincible existence who overcame the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, then broke through to First Rank, overthrew the previous dynasty, and established Da Qian's most fertile territory on this continent!

Otherwise, for thousands of years, this territory would still be in a state of warring states and rampant Demon Barbarians.

Although the previous dynasty's Emperor Yu unified the world, the true great unification was achieved by the Da Qian Founding Emperor.

Legend has it that the Da Qian Founding Emperor ultimately broke through to Super Rank, ascended directly to True Immortal, and departed...

Leaving aside an existence as heaven-defying as Li Shengyuan, how many others could compare to him?

Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin also said with a solemn expression, "Brother Li said he has confidence in Palace Master Yue, and this is just a guess anyway. Let's wait and see!"

Everyone nodded, silent, with both anticipation and apprehension in their hearts.

Leaving aside a peerless prodigy like Li Shengyuan, if they could personally witness a cultivator overcome the Eight Heavenly Tribulations or even the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, the benefits would undoubtedly be immense!

Ten days passed in a flash, and the might of the Nine Heavenly Tribulations had reached its peak.

Even from the distant Shanhai Pass, everyone could vaguely see eight different colors within the Nine Heavenly Tribulations.

Eight Heavenly Tribulations, plus the invisible Heart Demon Tribulation, the Nine Heavenly Tribulations...

Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Li Shengyuan also personally witnessed Yue Xiyan begin her breakthrough and then complete it.

He also clearly saw the effect of the God-Demon Origin on other cultivators.

The God-Demon Origin contained two opposing forces. Yue Xiyan was a Dao cultivator, so the Ancient God Origin gained the upper hand. During her breakthrough, all the Ancient Demon Origin accumulated in her body would be assimilated and absorbed by the Ancient God power, strengthening the Ancient God power!

Unless one cultivated both systems simultaneously, progressing and breaking through together like him, the God-Demon power would develop together, then producing the Ten Heavenly Tribulations.

But not everyone could easily overcome the Ten Heavenly Tribulations like him...

Li Shengyuan's somewhat anxious heart finally settled. Originally, he had thought that if the God-Demon Origin became chaotic within Yue Xiyan's body, he would help her absorb it, but now he no longer had this concern.

Yue Xiyan, who had been sitting for a long time and broken through to Second Rank, slowly opened her eyes. Now, as long as she passed the tempering of the Nine Heavenly Tribulations and transformed, she would be a genuine Second Rank expert!

Her gaze met Li Shengyuan's gentle eyes, and a warmth spread through Yue Xiyan's heart. She also revealed a faint smile and said softly:

"Shengyuan, it's so good to see you..."

"It's good that you broke through successfully!" Li Shengyuan nodded slightly, then smiled:

"It's just the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, no big problem. I'll wait outside for your celebration!"

"Mm, wait for me..."
