The Killing Taoist, who has transformed into a deity through countless eons.

Qi Yuan turned his head and saw two Escape lights flying towards him. In the blink of an eye, they arrived before him. They were none other than the Daozi of Wangu Holy Land, Tu Ruoxu, and the Daozi of Boundless Holy Land, Zhuang Qingyun, whom he had just bid farewell to not long ago.

What are these two guys looking for me for?

Especially after seeing Zhuang Qingyun, Qi Yuan subconsciously recalled Pu Genshuo's previous reminder.

The gossip and scandal between himself and the Linglong Saintess were causing quite a stir, and this guy was also one of the Linglong Saintess's devoted simps. Now that he had suddenly come knocking, he likely harbored ill intentions... Thinking of this, Qi Yuan immediately became alert, his expression solemn as he cupped his hands and asked:

"The two Daozi have arrived together; is there something the matter?"

Seeing Qi Yuan's stiff face and unhappy expression, Zhuang Qingyun mistakenly thought the other party was still troubled by the rumors. He quickly returned the gesture with cupped hands, his tone carrying a sense of comfort:

"Fellow Daoist Qi, regarding the matter of the rumors, I know that both you and Fairy Xiao are victims. There is no need to be overly concerned. If anyone is to blame, it's that brat Ji Tianpeng for being a piece of work."

"If anyone asks in the future, Senior Brother Tu and I will definitely help clarify things so that your reputation can be restored as soon as possible..."

Huh?

I'm a victim too?

Qi Yuan listened with utter confusion, completely unable to figure out what the other party was up to.

He knew his own situation best; his relationship with Xiao Yueni was not a rumor at all. It was just that they hadn't taken proper secrecy measures when they were hooking up, and they were discovered by other female Disciples of the Linglong Holy Land.

Even he, as the person involved, was too embarrassed to come forward and clarify. Yet, this Daozi Zhuang before him was insistently claiming he would help restore his reputation. What on earth was he playing at?

Also, does this matter have anything to do with Ji Tianpeng? Why didn't I know?

Although he felt it was bizarre, seeing the other party's trust in him, he could only reluctantly accept the sentiment, saying perfunctorily:

"Fellow Daoist Zhuang is indeed broad-minded and perceptive. Truly admirable!"

Zhuang Qingyun smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Qi, you overpraise me. It was all Senior Brother Tu's sharp eyes that saw through Ji Tianpeng's schemes at a glance."

Saying that, he gave a cold laugh:

"That man surnamed Ji dared to spread rumors about Fairy Xiao. I, Zhuang, will certainly not let it slide. Once I Breakthrough to Soul Transformation, I will definitely seek justice from him!"

Qi Yuan: "..."

"Ahem!"

Tu Ruoxu, who was beside him, coughed twice, interrupting Zhuang Qingyun's words. He then looked at Qi Yuan with a smile, saying meaningfully:

"Let's not mention that for now. Our uninvited visit this time is to offer a great Opportunity to Fellow Daoist Qi. I wonder if you are willing to accept it?"

A great Opportunity?

Hearing this, Qi Yuan was first stunned, then instinctively became somewhat guarded.

He wasn't some greenhorn fresh out of the gate who would foolishly rush in just by hearing the word 'Opportunity'.

To put it bluntly, he wasn't these two people's father. If there really was a heaven-sent Opportunity, would they just share it with him for nothing?

With this thought, Qi Yuan's eyebrows twitched slightly. He looked at Tu Ruoxu with a half-smile and asked:

"Forgive my dullness, but just how great is this Opportunity that it requires two Daozi to come together to deliver it?"

Tu Ruoxu smiled faintly and said slowly:

"Fellow Daoist Qi, do you know what the Myriad Tribulations Deity Transformation is?"

Myriad Tribulations Deity Transformation?!

Hearing this, Qi Yuan's interest was immediately piqued, and he nodded in response:

"I've heard a little about it. It is said that when a Nascent Soul undergoes Soul Transformation, those who can attract ten thousand thunders to strike their body achieve the Myriad Tribulations Deity Transformation, also known as the Heavenly Dao Spirit Transformation!"

This was actually common knowledge in the Cultivation World. When a Nascent Soul transforms into a Primordial Spirit, it triggers a Lightning Tribulation from the heavens. Only after being baptized by the Lightning Tribulation can the Nascent Soul transform into a Primordial Spirit.

Therefore, the number of lightning strikes one endures determines the strength and quality of the Primordial Spirit.

If only one or two bolts of lightning descend during the Breakthrough to Soul Transformation, then the Breakthrough will surely fail. Even if one doesn't die, their Dao foundation will be heavily damaged.

Those who can attract three bolts of lightning and achieve Soul Transformation are called Three Tribulations Spirit Transformation. However, such Soul Transformation Cultivators are the weakest. Most of them will remain in the Spirit Transformation Realm for the rest of their lives, finding it difficult to make any further progress.

Above the Three Tribulations Spirit Transformation is the Nine Tribulations Spirit Transformation. Cultivators who have endured nine lightning strikes will find their future path much smoother.

Above the Nine Tribulations Spirit Transformation is the Hundred Tribulations Spirit Transformation, which only the top geniuses can achieve.

As for the Myriad Tribulations Deity Transformation, or the Heavenly Dao Spirit Transformation, just like the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, no one has ever seen it; it only exists in legends.

Of course, Qi Yuan knew that to achieve the Myriad Tribulations Deity Transformation, one must also possess a trace of Heavenly Dao Qi.

Only in this way can one use the power of the Heavenly Dao to attract ten thousand thunders for a perfect Soul Transformation!

Just as his thoughts were racing, he heard Tu Ruoxu continue:

"Indeed, the Heavenly Dao Spirit Transformation is as difficult as ascending to the heavens, but it's not that no one has ever done it. Tens of thousands of years ago, a brilliant Loose Cultivator emerged out of nowhere, calling himself the Killing Life Daoist."

"That Killing Life Daoist held a terrifying Demonic Sword. At that time, he acted without restraint, possessing a deep murderous nature and triggering one terrifying slaughter after another in the Cultivation World."

"No one knew where the Killing Life Daoist's Legacy came from. He was clearly just a Loose Cultivator, yet he possessed vast divine abilities and was invincible among his peers. Even under the joint siege of the Seven Great Holy Lands, he remained standing, repeatedly escaping from death."

Killing Life Daoist!

Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully recalling information about this person.

In the Taixuan Holy Land, the records of the Killing Life Daoist's life deeds were not detailed. However, as a figure from tens of thousands of years ago, being able to leave a name in many ancient texts was already extraordinary.

Speaking of which, the Killing Life Daoist was just a solitary Loose Cultivator, yet he could stir up the winds and clouds of the Cultivation World by himself. His ferocity was evident.

When it comes to being well-informed, if the Wangu Holy Land, which specializes in the information business, ranks second, no one would dare claim first.

Since the Myriad Ages Dao Child Tu Ruoxu mentioned this person, it certainly wouldn't be for no reason.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan's expression turned serious, and he listened more intently.

"This man could easily kill experts in the Void Refining Realm when he was only in the Spirit Transformation Realm. Once he reached the Tribulation Crossing Realm, he was even more unstoppable. He once heavily injured a Grandmaster of the Boundless Holy Land who was in the Middle Stage of the Mahayana realm, shaking the world."

A Tribulation Crossing Cultivator heavily injuring a Mahayana Cultivator?

Qi Yuan was startled. He really hadn't heard of this matter, but judging from Zhuang Qingyun's expression, which looked like he had eaten something foul, it was clearly true.

That's impressive!

Tu Ruoxu said in a serious tone:

"After that battle, the Killing Life Daoist was known as the World's Number One Loose Cultivator."

"But just when everyone thought the Killing Life Daoist could easily Breakthrough to Mahayana and become the world's strongest expert, he suddenly vanished and never appeared again."

"It's likely that because he created too much karma, he fell during his Dao Tribulation."

"However, none of that is the point. The point is that the Killing Life Daoist once personally admitted that when he broke through to Soul Transformation, he triggered ten thousand Lightning Tribulations, achieving the Heavenly Dao Spirit Transformation in one fell swoop and soaring from then on."

"Since the Killing Life Daoist could do it, it proves he likely possessed a special method to achieve the Myriad Tribulations Deity Transformation. The three of us are the top geniuses of this world; in terms of Aptitude, we are certainly not inferior to the Killing Life Daoist."

"As long as we find the Legacy left by the Killing Life Daoist, we might be able to follow in the footsteps of our predecessor and step into the realm of the Myriad Tribulations Deity Transformation!"

Saying that, Tu Ruoxu looked at Qi Yuan with burning eyes:

"Fellow Daoist Qi, I have searched through many ancient books stored in the Wangu Holy Land and have finally confirmed the specific location of the Killing Life Daoist's former Immortal Cave. Do you dare to accompany the two of us to explore it?"
