I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1934 The Cause of the Heart Tribulation
Although the mysterious liquid that Patriarch Yi Ning poured carefully had some effect, the effect was limited. It only slightly reduced the concentration of the ice poison, and it was unable to stop the poison from continuing to invade Mu Chendong's body.

"Hiss, cold..." Mu Chendong's teeth were chattering and he couldn't help but shout in pain.

The penetration speed of the icy poison was astonishingly fast. In a flash, it quickly spread throughout Mu Chendong's entire body like a madly spreading vine.

Elder Yi Ning looked anxious. He quickly stretched out his fingers and tapped Mu Chendong's body several times. Then, he quickly stuffed a bright red pill with a strange fragrance into Mu Chendong's mouth.

As soon as this pill entered the body, it immediately exerted a remarkable effect. Mu Chendong's face, which was originally as pale as paper, gradually became a little rosy.

"We must find a way to completely eliminate the ice poison in his body at once. Even if there is only a little bit left, this vicious thing will surely revive and cause trouble again!" Patriarch Yi De looked solemn and spoke in a serious tone.

"Eliminate it all at once? That's easier said than done. Now the ice poison has been deeply integrated into his body." Patriarch Yixie frowned and shook his head helplessly.

Mu Qianchou stood aside, his face full of despair, staring at his father intently, his hands clenched into fists, but he had no effective way to do anything.

After a moment of silence, Patriarch Yi Ning slowly said, "Thunder tribulation! Thunder tribulation is OK! There is a clear record in the biography left by the second Palace Master of the Ice Palace. When he contracted the Mysterious Ice Viper, an elder who helped him was unfortunately poisoned by ice. When he tried to use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to block the erosion of the ice poison, he did not expect that an unexpected surprise would appear. This accidental action enabled the elder to successfully break through his own realm and then attracted the thunder tribulation. When the thunder tribulation was over, surprisingly, the ice poison in the elder's body disappeared without a trace."

“But Mu Chendong is already in the early stage of Half-Step God King realm, and his realm is still not very stable. If he forcibly breaks through the realm and reaches the middle stage of Half-Step God King realm at this time, the risks involved are really not small.” Patriarch Yi De frowned and said solemnly.

"Even so, it's good to have a glimmer of hope." After Patriarch Yi Ning finished speaking, he turned to look at Elder Bi You and continued, "Bi You, Dan Sect has produced a master of alchemy. It is said that this person's ability is better than that of ordinary master alchemists. You should quickly go find him and see if you can get him to refine a Chaos Kaiyuan Pill for us and give it to them."

As he spoke, Elder Yining threw a small cloth bag to Bi You. The bag contained the Ice Palace's unique treasure, the Snow Plum.

"Qianchou, stop crying. Go and prepare the materials for refining the Chaos Kaiyuan Pill. Prepare a few more." Elder Yi Ning said with a solemn expression, patting Mu Qianchou's shoulder gently.

"But." Mu Qianchou bit her lip tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, her voice trembling and hesitant, "I'm still a little worried about my father."

"Don't worry, go. Nothing will happen with us here." Elder Yi Ning's eyes were firm and his tone was gentle but powerful, trying to give Mu Qianchou enough comfort.

Mu Qianchou raised her head and looked at the trusting eyes of the old ancestor Yi Ning. Although she was still worried, she knew that she had to be strong at this moment. She nodded slowly and turned to leave. Although she was not good at alchemy, she knew that this Chaos Kaiyuan Pill was a magical pill for the strong men of the Half-Step Divine King Realm to break through the realm, which would definitely be of great help to her father's breakthrough.

When Mu Qianchou's figure gradually disappeared from sight, the elder Yide beside him carefully took out a crystal coffin. His movements were gentle and cautious, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world. Then, he gently placed Mu Chendong into the crystal coffin.

Although Mu Chendong has not passed away yet, putting him directly into the coffin seems a bit unlucky. However, this crystal coffin has a special magical effect, which can effectively slow down the erosion of the stubborn ice poison in Mu Chendong's body, thereby buying more time for the refining of Chaos Kaiyuan Pill. Don't worry too much about it. After all, if the ice poison cannot be expelled, he will really die.

Liu Jun was watching with great interest when the image inside the light shield suddenly began to shake violently again. The originally bright light gradually dimmed, as if swallowed by an invisible force, and the entire space fell into a brief chaos. When the light shield lit up again, the image inside was completely new.

This time, the scene was Mu Chendong lying quietly in a coffin, his face as pale as paper, lifeless. On the side, the ancestor Yixie looked solemn, holding a pill emitting a faint glow in his hand. He carefully picked up the pill and slowly fed it into Mu Chendong's unconscious mouth.

The pill melted in his mouth, turning into a warm current that quickly spread throughout Mu Chendong's body. Not long after, Mu Chendong's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, then suddenly opened, with a trace of confusion and astonishment in his eyes.

"Don't talk, listen to me." The voice of the ancestor Yixie was low and powerful. Another pill appeared in his hand. It was the Chaos Kaiyuan Pill that Liu Jun had carefully refined. "This is the Chaos Kaiyuan Pill, which is extremely precious. Eat it, use the spiritual energy of the pill to break through the realm, and use the heavenly thunder to wash away the ice poison in your body. This is your only chance to survive."

Mu Chendong did not say anything, but silently took the Chaos Kaiyuan Pill and swallowed it without hesitation. Then, he closed his eyes again and devoted himself to the practice of breaking through the realm.

As the strong and pure spiritual energy fluctuated, the spiritual energy in Mu Chendong's body also quickly gathered, like the water of rivers flowing into the sea, rising continuously until it reached the peak. Under the impact of the spiritual energy, his body gradually emitted a faint golden light, which was a precursor to a breakthrough in realm. The ancestor Yi horseshoe crab was silently guarding on the side, with both expectation and a hint of worry in his eyes. He knew that this step was crucial for Mu Chendong, not only related to his life and death, but also to the future of the entire Ice Palace.

If the Ice Palace could produce another mid-stage Half-Step God King expert, its strength would be no worse than that of the God King Palace.

At this moment, the entire space seemed to be shrouded by an invisible force, and the air was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere. And the changes in Mu Chendong's body were also quietly brewing an earth-shaking transformation.

Time passed by second by second, as if every second was witnessing the birth of some miracle. In this quiet and solemn space, Mu Chendong's aura was quietly rising, like a bud breaking through the ground in spring, full of vitality and endless potential. He seemed to have touched the threshold of the middle stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm.

However, the sky remained cloudless and peaceful, without any strange phenomena, and even less any signs of an impending thunderstorm. This made people feel both surprised and confused.

Others may not know, but Patriarch Yixie knows very well. When he broke through to the middle stage of Half-Step God King Realm, he was in danger of death and was almost chopped into pieces. How come Mu Chendong's breakthrough was so quiet?

At this moment, Mu Chendong's breath suddenly became chaotic, like a calm stream of water being disrupted by a sudden storm. His eyes also became blurred, as if some invisible force was disturbing his mind, causing him to fall into deep confusion.

"Oh no, it's a heart tribulation!" The voice of Patriarch Yixie rang out among the crowd, with a hint of solemnity that was difficult to conceal.

Patriarch Yixie lived a long time and had a deep understanding of the various tribulations in cultivation. At this moment, he keenly sensed the crisis that Mu Chendong was facing, and couldn't help but worry secretly in his heart.

"Bi You, go and inform Elder Yi Ning quickly and ask her to come over quickly!" Elder Yi Xie instructed Elder Bi You beside him.

Upon hearing this, Elder Bi You did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and immediately turned around and ran off to inform the equally powerful Ancestor Yi Ning.

At the same time, Patriarch Yixie also quickly made other arrangements: "Others began to set up formations, and find ways to break through the barriers of his spiritual world and go in to resolve the heart calamity."

Following his order, the others started to move. They sat in a circle around Mu Chendong, forming a tight defensive formation. Ancestor Yixie also joined in, his eyes fixed on Mu Chendong, and at the same time extended his mental power, intending to break through Mu Chendong's mental barrier.

This scene was what Liu Jun and his friends saw when they first came here.

"Oh? That's not right. I've been looking at it for a long time, but I still can't figure out what Mu Chendong's heart tribulation is." Liu Jun frowned slightly, and the doubts in his heart were like a lingering fog. He stared at the picture in the light cover, trying to catch a clue from it, but everything seemed to be shrouded in a haze, making it impossible to see the whole picture.

At this moment, the scene in the light shield suddenly changed, as if time was flowing backwards and space was dislocated. Mu Chendong's figure appeared in the picture again. He was standing in the same position as Liu Jun at this moment, and in front of him was also a light shield emitting a faint light. And what was shown in this light shield was some of the heartbreaking scenes that Liu Jun had seen before - Mu Chendong's wife was trapped under the ruins, her delicate body supporting the heavy beams, and his daughter was in the space below her with a terrified face, her eyes full of despair and sadness.

These scenes pierced into Mu Chendong's heart like a sharp blade. The blood color on his face faded instantly, and his eyes were empty and blurred. Unable to bear this sudden blow, Mu Chendong's mind collapsed in an instant, as if the whole world had lost its color.

"This is killing people and destroying their hearts." Liu Jun looked at Mu Chendong who was struggling in pain in the picture and couldn't help but sigh, his tone full of helplessness and emotion.

The so-called mental tribulation is to use some images that can easily make the person undergoing the tribulation lose his mind to stimulate the other party, making the other party lose himself in the torrent of emotions, thus causing the failure of the tribulation, the fall of realm, and even death.

These images were undoubtedly carefully selected by the Heavenly Dao. They were like sharp arrows, accurately shooting at the softest part of Mu Chendong's heart, making him unable to extricate himself from the pain and despair.

As the saying goes, God is watching what you do. Although the Heaven will not pay attention to everyone, it is not difficult to replay some scenes of someone's past. It is like an invisible bystander, silently recording everything in the world, ready to turn these memories into sharp weapons at any time to target those who dare to go against the Heaven.
