Chapter 279 Refining the Heavenly Tribulation, the Road to Refining the Heart

Yang Hao sat upright, took a deep breath, and began to break through according to the method recorded in Li Daitao's Stomach Crossing Tribulation Method.

"Shh!"

The laws of life and death mastered by Yang Hao condensed into essence, intertwined in mid-air to form a Tai Chi diagram of Yin and Yang and two fishes.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Hao spread out his huge spiritual energy, connected with the large array arranged underneath, and frantically absorbed the nearby spiritual energy.

As Yang Hao absorbed more and more spiritual energy, the Tai Chi diagram in mid-air gradually became blurred and seemed to disappear soon.

"It's now!"

Yang Hao's eyes condensed, and a large number of runes instantly appeared around his body, simulating the power of other laws, and then merged them with the Tai Chi Diagram in mid-air.

"Boom~"

After the Tai Chi diagram was integrated with other laws, it quickly expanded from a picture into a miniature world in an instant. At the same time, an inexplicable rhythm emanated from this miniature world, activating the power of heaven in the Tianxuan world.

"Crackling-"

A bolt of crimson lightning came from nowhere and instantly struck the miniature world that had not yet been completely formed, breaking the chaotic state inside it in one fell swoop, and all the power of laws began to flow rapidly.

Originally, this miniature world was just like a delicate toy, but now that it was struck by lightning, it really became as alive as the real world.

Seeing this situation, Yang Hao smiled slightly, knowing that his step was right.

But he didn't let up.

Because this is just the beginning.

Breaking through the catastrophe of refining the void will not be that simple.

Thinking like this, he glanced at the sky and saw that a large dark cloud had gathered in the originally blue and cloudless sky. The shape of this dark cloud was very similar to a human face, with the position of its eyes , was flashing golden and red lightning, relentlessly staring at Yang Hao below.

It is said that this human face is the embodiment of the power of heaven, but no one knows the real situation.

The only thing Yang Hao can be sure of is that when this human face forms, it means that the biggest difficulty of the Heavenly Refining Tribulation is about to come.

"Avatar!"

Seeing the thunder and lightning light in the eyes of the face getting stronger and stronger, Yang Hao no longer hesitated and directly took out an incarnation talisman and crushed it.

"Shh-"

An incarnation that was exactly the same as Yang Hao instantly appeared in front of him.

"Li Daitao is stiff!"

Yang Hao quickly worked out the magic formula and placed a large number of complex runes on himself and his incarnation.

Then, Yang Hao's body became more and more transparent, and in just two or three seconds, he completely disappeared.

At the same time, the presence of Yang Hao's avatar gradually increased, until finally when Yang Hao's body completely disappeared, the avatar seemed to have turned into a huge black hole, sucking all the light from heaven and earth into his body.

When this step was completely completed, Yang Hao felt that the sense of crisis in his body disappeared instantly, but his avatar felt like a huge mountain was pressing down on him, and he felt that his breathing became heavier.

"Successful, Li Daitao's method of overcoming the tribulation is really powerful!"

Feeling this change, Yang Hao was instantly relieved.

The principle of this tribulation method is to use various runic means to shift the focus of the tribulation to the incarnation that has the same aura as the original body. The biggest difficulty lies in this step.

Once this step is successful, Li Daitao's method of overcoming the tribulation can be said to be a complete success.

In the following time, as long as the incarnation is not killed by the Heavenly Tribulation, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation will never fall on his body.

"Crack-"

Not long after Yang Hao finished using the method of overcoming tribulation, thunder and lightning fell down from the eyes of the person's face, and the target was clearly the incarnation that was deliberately far away from the main body.

"Zizi-"

The pain of thunder and lightning entered Yang Hao's consciousness again. Although the avatar suffered the lightning strike, the two consciousnesses were connected, and Yang Hao could not unilaterally cut off the perception of the avatar.

Everything about the Avatar Talisman is good, but this is very bad.

It can only be said that there are pros and cons.

"Crack-"

One after another, golden and red lightning struck Yang Hao's body like a sharp sword. The burning sensation and numbness lingered in Yang Hao's consciousness, making him extremely painful.

It's a pity that all his law power has been released to build a small world, and he can't use it to apply spells to protect himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.

However, it is precisely because of this reason that the Heavenly Tribulation of Refining the Void is so difficult to survive.

Just like this, under the constant strikes of thunder and lightning, after an unknown period of time, a sense of fear of approaching death suddenly enveloped Yang Hao's heart.

"No, the Avatar can't hold it any longer!"

Yang Hao quickly realized where the problem was.

The incarnation does not have the protection of various spiritual weapons of Yang Hao's body, and the power of the physical body alone to withstand the catastrophe is ultimately somewhat insufficient.

After being slashed by the Heavenly Tribulation for so long, Yang Hao's body, which has not been specially strengthened, is already considered very strong.

But even with such a strong physical body, it was almost unable to hold on at this moment.

Under Yang Hao's inner vision, the incarnation's body had been electrocuted to the point of almost turning into a piece of coke, and its body functions were maintained entirely by soul and mana.

But the soul and mana are also the targets of the Heavenly Tribulation, and after such a long period of attack, they are almost exhausted.

Yang Hao estimated that as long as there was another lightning strike, the incarnation would be completely wiped out.

"This is not possible. Once the incarnation dies, my true body will be completely exposed."

"And once the true body is exposed, I will suffer the additional punishment of deceiving the way of heaven. Many variables may occur at that time. I have to find a way to make the incarnation last longer."

Although Li Daitao's method of overcoming the tribulation can keep the person's body in an extremely safe state, it also has a big shortcoming, that is, once the incarnation used to apply this method is destroyed during the attack of the tribulation, it will be exposed. The body that comes out will withstand a catastrophe that is twice as powerful.

Therefore, this method of overcoming tribulation places great emphasis on the intensity of incarnation from the very beginning.

If you use this method when your avatar is not strong, it will only make you die faster.

Yang Hao originally thought that by relying on his own incarnation that was exactly the same as his original body, he would have no problem surviving the thunder tribulation, the first level of the catastrophe.

But he didn't expect that his catastrophe would last far longer than imagined.

"What's the best way to use it? There's no way a spell without the power of law can withstand the power of the Heavenly Tribulation of Refining the Void..."

"Laws... By the way, I wonder if my ice arrow technique can forcefully release skills with the power of laws?"

An idea suddenly came to Yang Hao's mind, and then he unleashed the Ice Arrow technique on his avatar, and at the same time designated the skill it triggered as the skill "Endless Life" that Yang Hao understood from the law of life.

As you can tell from the name of this skill, its function is to simply give living bodies endless vitality.

As long as this skill is successfully used, Yang Hao's incarnation will never be completely reduced to ashes by the power of thunder.

However, there is a three-second delay in releasing the Ice Arrow skill. This delay is nothing on ordinary days, but at this moment, when the calamities are constantly falling, it seems extremely long.

Therefore, Yang Hao had to find a way to sustain his avatar for at least three seconds.

"You can only consume the spiritual weapon on your body!"

Yang Hao gritted his teeth and released the "Xuanwu Vajra Cover" on his body, letting it block the incarnation.

Although this thing is only a fifth-level low-grade spiritual weapon, its quality is still top-notch, and its internal energy is sufficient. It can last for 3 seconds no matter what?

"Crack-"

Thunder and lightning struck down mercilessly, and the aura around the Xuanwu Vajra Shield was released, releasing a protective shield that enveloped all the incarnations.

"Kakaka-"

With just a bolt of lightning, the surface of the Xuanwu Vajra Cover was covered with cracks, making it appear to be crumbling.

"No way? So weak?"

Yang Hao was a little dumbfounded. This was just a bolt of lightning, but what about the Xuanwu Diamond Cover?
According to the previous frequency, nine lightning tribulations can be struck in three seconds!
In desperation, Yang Hao could only take out a fifth-level mid-grade spiritual weapon that he had refined previously and hold it in front of him.

"Crack-"

After three thunder tribulations, this fifth-level mid-grade spiritual weapon was also declared scrapped.

"Outrageous!"

Yang Hao was stunned. Is there something wrong with the power of this tribulation?
As a last resort, he could only sacrifice the fifth-level top-quality body-protecting spiritual weapon "Colorful Glazed Cover" that he purchased from others before the tribulation.

"Crack, crack, crack—"

This time, the five-colored glass cover finally became much stronger, absorbing all the remaining five thunder tribulations without even a single crack on the surface.

At this time, the endless forward shaking has ended, and a green light was born out of thin air, covering the entire body of the incarnation.

"Crash-"

Every cell of the incarnation is cheering, like the rain coming after a long drought.

At the same time, the parts that had been scorched black by the lightning tribulation gradually recovered at this moment and turned into a normal color.

"I didn't expect the skill designation of Ice Arrow to be so strong. Even skills that must be released based on laws can be released. It seems that I still underestimated the power of this skill."

Yang Hao felt relieved.

The difficulty in the first level of the Heavenly Tribulation of Refining the Void lies in the inability to use the power of law to protect oneself. In other words, as long as one can use the power of law, this first level will not be a problem.

Sure enough, the next thunderstorm lasted for another full hour. No matter how many times Yang Hao's body was chopped into charcoal, it could quickly return to normal in a short time.

The power of the law is clearly revealed here.

"Okay, now comes the second level of the inner demon tribulation."

"If there are traces of the inner demon tribulation during the Divine Transformation Heavenly Tribulation, the inner demon tribulation of Lianxu will really test the firmness of the Taoist heart."

"According to the experience of the predecessors who broke through in the past, the robbers will have their memories sealed in this level, and they will come to the world again as an ordinary newborn, and experience various tortures related to the heart."

"Seniors call this level the road to refining the heart."

"And this level is also the most difficult step in overcoming the tribulation."

"As long as one of the tortures related to the Taoist heart is not passed, the result will be to forget all the memories of the past and completely become the same mortal on the road to refining the heart."

Yang Hao couldn't help but look very cautious as he recalled the memories of the road to heart refining.

To be honest, after understanding the process of refining the heart, Yang Hao didn't understand it at all.

If you test the Taoist heart, just test the Taoist heart. What the hell is sealed memory?

If a person loses his memory, it’s still him, right?
Are the choices made when there is no memory really based on the so-called Taoist mind?
Is there any relationship between this so-called Tao mind and concepts such as superego and id in past life psychology?
Yang Hao didn't quite understand and didn't agree with this breakthrough method.

Fortunately, Yang Hao is not the only one who doesn't understand this.

The world of cultivating immortals has gone through hundreds of millions of years, and the talents of the heavens are unknown. There are always some people who have all kinds of whimsical ideas, thinking about whether they can get through this so-called road of refining the mind in other ways.

The result was the various methods of overcoming tribulation that Yang Hao had seen in the Sutra Pavilion before.

Take the Li Daitao method of overcoming the tribulation that Yang Hao currently masters as an example. In the second level, it can divide a small part of the consciousness of the body into the incarnation, and then let this small part of the consciousness replace the tribulation of the person who is overcoming the tribulation. The main body embarks on the road of refining the heart.

Even if it fails, it will only lose this small part of consciousness. The body of the tribulation passer only needs to repeat the operation of cutting consciousness into it, and there will be many more opportunities for error tolerance.

At the same time, when a small part of the consciousness is taking the path of refining the mind, the ontology can also give instructions to the consciousness that is overcoming the tribulation through the natural connection of consciousness, helping him to make various choices.

In this way, one can safely survive the calamity of refining a weak mind without losing memory.

However, there is no need for Yang Hao to do this in this step.

Because Yang Hao's consciousness exists in both the incarnation and the body, although the two seem to be different individuals, they are actually operated by the same consciousness, unlike the traditional incarnation, which connects the consciousness through other means.

Therefore, Yang Hao did not need to cut off his consciousness to survive the tribulation.

When transcending the tribulation, the tribulation will only clear the memory of the incarnation, but the memory of Yang Hao's original body still exists in the original body and will not disappear.

Of course, before that, Yang Hao also conducted related tests. He used a similar memory-sealing technique on the avatar, and finally confirmed that unless the memory of the body and the avatar were sealed at the same time, even the memory of one of them would be sealed. After being cleared, the next moment, the memory will be restored through the link of consciousness.

However, although Yang Hao thought so, he still cut off a part of his consciousness just to be on the safe side, and kept it inside the main body just in case.

The Heavenly Tribulation has been silent for about a minute. The power inside the small world in mid-air has been brewing, and the power of life is being nurtured in it.

"Om-"

At this moment, Yang Hao suddenly heard a buzzing sound, and then he felt that his entire consciousness had disappeared, and then he fell into darkness.

"Shh-"

The consciousness link effect caused by the effect of the entry is indeed extremely powerful. As soon as the memory of Yang Hao's incarnation was cleared, it was restored again through the main body the next moment.

However, the memory was restored, but Yang Hao could still feel that all the power of his incarnation had disappeared out of thin air. He could not see inside, nor could he mobilize mana, divine thoughts, qi and blood, or the power of laws.

He opened his eyes and found that he had become a swaddling baby.
