Taoist Master Xuanhuang

"Congratulations, sister."

The Holy Mother of Tushan said with delight.

She asked the question as a polite formality, but unexpectedly received a definite answer.

Based on her understanding of her sister, the Star Mother Yuanjun, it should still take some time, which greatly exceeded her expectations.

Although he cannot compare to the Star Mother Primordial Sovereign, he still has a very clear understanding of her.

"Thank you," said Star Mother Yuanjun.

Despite his aloof and domineering demeanor, he was still quite happy to congratulate himself at this moment.

She doesn't have many friends to talk to, but the Holy Mother of Tushan is one of them. She is very excited to be able to share her joy with others.

"I didn't expect you to be so quick, I thought it would take a while."

The Holy Mother of Tushan voiced her doubts.

“It’s just a matter of chance; you can do it too,” said Star Mother Yuanjun.

Opportunity is a gift from heaven and earth.

"Is that so?" The Holy Mother of Tushan seemed thoughtful, but she wasn't sure.

Yes, you'll see!

Then, the Star Mother Primordial Sovereign displayed the Calamity Seed she had condensed.

"what?"

The Holy Mother of Tushan was very surprised.

She was also gathering the secret technique seed, or rather, all those who wanted to transcend the tribulation and become king were gathering their own seeds, all for the sake of safety during the tribulation.

However, the calamity seed she condensed was not only smaller than that of her sister, the Star Mother Yuanjun, but also a different color.

My own calamity seed is black, while that of my sister, the Star Mother Yuanjun, is purple.

"I can't say too much about the specifics, but you'll understand when the time comes."

As she spoke, Star Mother Yuanjun pouted and glanced slightly at the sky.

With such an explanation, how could the Holy Mother of Tushan, this real 'fox spirit,' not understand?

It must be a gift from the Lord.

"Where's Little Fish?" Star Mother Yuanjun asked after seeing that Tushan Holy Mother understood.

Little Fish, the Mermaid Queen was the first living being that Star Mother Yuanjun met when she came to Blue Star.

It was because of Queen Rosa's Forest that the Holy Mother of Tushan and the Star Mother Yuanjun met.

Although Little Fish was considered disappointing by Star Mother Yuanjun, she still recognized this little sister's worth, after all, she was the first living being she integrated into the Blue Star Holy Land.

"We're almost there. I told my sister as soon as she arrived," said the Holy Mother of Tushan.

Every time the Star Mother Yuanjun appears, she calls the two of them over.

It was a group of three before, and it remains a group of three now.

"Ok!"

Star Mother Yuanjun nodded. This younger sister was clever and capable; she could arrange everything very thoughtfully without her having to say a word.

"Eldest sister, second sister!"

A short while later, the mermaid queen Rosa Woodland arrived and greeted them timidly.

After all, I am very fortunate to have met these two ladies, but their status and position are too high, and I feel nervous every time I see them.

"Hmm?" The Star Mother Yuanjun's gaze toward Rosa Woodland shifted from initial delight to disdain.

"You little fish, how can you be so disappointing? Before I went into seclusion, you were at the late stage of the first rank, and even after I finished my seclusion, you're still at the same level and haven't even reached the second rank yet?"

"Huh?" Rosa Woodland looked aggrieved.

You think I don't want to? But my talent doesn't allow it.

My current cultivation level of late stage one is thanks to my two older sisters, who are at stage two.

That's a level only true masters of cultivation can reach; my current cultivation level is already quite enviable.

After all, among alien creatures, she was only a mermaid with average aptitude.

None of the alien humans have reached the second level of the Profound Realm, let alone someone who is half-human and half-fish.

However, she had no way to express her suffering.

The eldest sister, as a being, could hardly understand the helplessness of beings like herself.

To put it simply, Rosa Woodland's current cultivation level is at the level of a reverse ancestor; even her first-generation ancestors did not possess such abilities.

They are already the strongest beings in their mermaid history, and they are already shaping history.

“You are a queen, not a useless little fish. How can your cultivation level be worthy of your status? Have you not worked hard all these years?” Star Mother Yuanjun continued.

She genuinely cares about dried fish.

"Sister, calm down. Third Sister is trying very hard. She... she has something she can't say about it," the little fox explained with a smile.

If I hadn't become the Lord's spirit beast, and if I didn't have the dual identities of being a deity and a beast king, I wouldn't dare compare myself to the Star Mother Yuanjun.

After all, such a thing is too incredible.

It would be strange if such a creature as dried fish could catch the eye of the Star Mother Primordial Sovereign.

"What's the secret?"

"Ahem, this? Talent!" Tu Shan Shengmu had no choice but to reply.

"Talent?" Star Mother Yuanjun's tone suddenly softened.

She compared herself to the little fox and then to the dried fish.

Yes, Little Fish is not very talented. If it weren't for the Lord discovering his subordinate, he would have become a skeleton in the vast ocean long ago.

"Once you're done with your work, go into seclusion in the Minghu region and hand over the management of your clan to your subordinates."

Star Mother Yuanjun spoke to Little Fish Dried Rosa Lin.

She has already mastered the Minghu Realm; let's enhance the essence of the dried fish.

Otherwise, my first friend really wouldn't survive to the fourth tier.

Even with such good resources and connections, it's difficult to reach the second tier, let alone the fourth tier.

Those who do not reach the fourth rank will die. The Holy Mother of Tushan is a near-perfect being, and she will not allow such a thing to happen.

In addition, you should also pay attention to any resources that can improve your aptitude or innate talent.

I don't need it myself, but I can use it for dried fish.

She had never cared about these external things before, because talent and ability were everything. But for the sake of this child, she needs to pay attention.

This shows that Xingmu Yuanjun is a good person. She will treat any friend she acknowledges seriously, regardless of their strength or weakness.

They also think about their friends.

This person represents the idea that when one person attains enlightenment, even their relatives and friends benefit from it; they are loyal and righteous.

"Thank you, big sister," Rosalind said timidly.

The second sister is alright. Although she also has pressure, it's not as great as the eldest sister's. The second sister takes care of her own emotions, but the eldest sister doesn't care about this at all.

However, she knew that her eldest sister was the best to her.

How fortunate I am to have met this big sister.

It seems I'll have to use my strongest talent again: luck.

start up!

When will the eldest sister undergo her tribulation?

After finishing the old story, the Holy Mother of Tushan asked a question, as she was very curious about it.

If it is the eldest sister who is undergoing tribulation, wouldn't she be the number one person after the lord?
The causal relationship is incredibly complex, especially since it involves his own dear older sister. This is truly a stroke of good luck for him.

"Only by entering the tribulation can one transcend it, and a trigger is needed," said Star Mother Yuanjun.

"Entering the Rank? That can't be right. I only have the True Will of the late first rank, and I can easily avoid calamities. Why would I need to enter the Rank?" "I will naturally not be affected by calamities. What I mean by entering the Rank is that I am someone else's calamity."

"That's it!"

Upon hearing this, the Holy Mother of Tushan understood.

"Sister, you must be undergoing the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, right? Please give me some pointers and tell me what I'm lacking."

She was not about to miss this rare opportunity.

"you?"

Star Mother Yuanjun glanced at her, only to see a glint of light sweep across her eyes.

Suddenly, the Holy Mother of Tushan felt dizzy and as if she had fallen into an abyss from which she could not struggle, with countless corrupt tentacles entwining her.

It twisted and roared, pulling itself, trying to drag itself into the abyss.

The situation seemed extremely critical, but he seemed to have no way to break free, and everything he was proud of had become useless at this moment.

Magical power is sealed, and perception is slowly being withdrawn.

The mind was forcibly suppressed, and unspeakable pain swept over it.

Fortunately, it came quickly and went quickly; the feeling vanished the instant I was about to perish.

The Holy Mother of Tushan then realized that she was almost exhausted and her magic power was almost completely depleted.

If this continues any longer, it won't just be that my magic power is completely exhausted, but my dantian will shatter.

His spirit was dim, and his magic power was exhausted. How terrifying.

It was as if the mental power he was so proud of had been sealed off.

"Huff, huff, huff!" The Holy Mother of Tushan gasped for breath, having not experienced such a near-death feeling for a very long time.

She clearly didn't think it was that bad; she knew that her sister, the Star Mother Yuanjun, was stronger than her, but a single glance from her almost caused her to perish. This... this was willpower.

It's unimaginable what kind of means could be used to instantly annihilate one's own Xuanhuang orthodoxy.

"Sister, is my will not strong enough?" asked the Holy Mother of Tushan.

"That's right, your willpower is insufficient. Unless you don't want to undergo the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, your willpower is a bit lacking."

This is the biggest difference between the Holy Mother of Tushan and the Holy Mother of the Mountain.

As for enlightenment, Star Mother Yuanjun had no doubt about it. Based on her understanding of Tu Shan's sister, she was sure she could gain 100,000 insights, it just took a little longer.

The only thing that cannot be compared in terms of willpower is that cannot be judged by common sense.

"The tribulation we need to overcome is the tribulation of perfection, and willpower is extremely important."

“My sister doesn’t understand.” The Holy Mother of Tushan asked when she didn’t understand.

“We are imprinted with the Lord’s aura. You know the advantages, but there are also disadvantages. Our tribulations are different. Even if we gain 100,000 insights, it still corresponds to the 129,600 Heavenly Tribulations.”

"I see."

That's how the little fox, the Holy Mother of Tushan, understood.

Because of the Lord, as the Lord's spirit beast subordinate, I will receive 'extra care' from Heaven when I undergo tribulation.

This special care is not due to injustice in the natural order, but rather because the natural order is perfectly just.

After all, can the accumulated knowledge and experience of an ordinary person compare to that of someone with a profound and orthodox lineage?
If one can defeat ten people of the same level, then it would be unfair if all the heavenly tribulations were the same.

The Star Mother Primordial Sovereign meant that the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is also divided into levels. Some beings barely reach the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, while others are a super-version of the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

This increase and decrease resulted in an exponential improvement.

All beings that need to undergo tribulation must be fully prepared, without any omissions, otherwise they will perish under the calamity.

"Every sip and every bite is preordained by Heaven. To gain a hundred thousand insights, as the Lord's subordinate, you must endure such trials. Of course, the rewards after success will be proportional. You need to temper your will."

“My sister understands,” the little fox said.

Therefore, the challenges facing the 100,000 insights are far greater than they imagined.

Both willpower require a second-tier level, and you should know that a second-tier willpower corresponds to a fifth-tier Venerable.

It's equivalent to a cultivator of the Xuanhuang Daoist arts needing the willpower of a second-tier True King at the fourth tier. It truly deserves to be called the strongest and invincible technique.

"Thank you for your guidance, Sister."

The Holy Mother of Tushan said again, "This is the grace of guidance. Now that I understand, I will strive to temper my will."

If you only find out at the last minute, it's not too late, but it will take a long time to make up for it.

"It doesn't matter."

Star Mother Yuanjun waved her hand.

“Your Myriad Beasts Returning to Origin Formation can be upgraded further. After that, you will need to hone your willpower at the core of the formation for a long time. I reached the second level of true willpower by tempering myself with formations.”

They not only provided guidance, but also offered solutions.

It's worth recognizing this older sister.

"Thank you, Sister Xie." The Holy Mother of Tushan smiled.

This guidance was extremely important; it directly provided me with a way to forge my willpower.

Although it still requires my own efforts, it is of utmost importance.

"Well, tell me about the current situation. I need to find a trial to undergo."

Only then did he ask about the purpose of his visit.

"Sister, your question is very insightful... The cultivation world these days is incredibly fascinating, let me tell you in detail..."

The Holy Mother of Tushan slowly began to speak.

He recounted all the major events currently occurring in the cultivation world to the Star Mother Primordial Sovereign.

"Oh? The Four Superpowers have indeed split up? Confucius and Jiang Ziya are indeed legendary figures, their ambitions are truly remarkable. How impressive."

The Holy Mother of Tushan said a lot.

However, only the Four Great and Two Great Holy Lands caught the attention of the Star Mother Primordial Sovereign; the others were merely minor incidents in her eyes.

"Yes, no one can avoid the inevitable trend, and so can we spirit beasts."

The little fox was very sad when she heard this, and the spirit beast was repeating the same mistake.

"Now that you know the general trend, don't be sad. You've done enough, and I think the Lord will be very satisfied... Besides, it's just another kind of scenery. How can you know the splendor of the next level if you don't experience it?"

"The older sister is right to reprimand me. The younger sister has come to terms with it, but she can't accept it in the short term."

"Good that you understand. Learn from the leaders of the Four Super Sects; they are the seniors in this regard."

"Yes, it is."

"..."

"The four super powers have unanimously set their sights on the demonized saints? Brilliant. I didn't expect that while I was in seclusion, they would also be hunting saints. I am not alone on the path."

She's an expert at hunting holy beings, and that's what interests her most.

"Yes, but their methods are different from my sister's. My sister destroys the realms head-on, while they lure the holy beings out and then use their weaknesses to kill them. It's different."

"Nothing's different. The holies I hunted were still holies in their normal state, never corrupted like this. The so-called corruption that makes them ten times stronger is a bit of an exaggeration, but it does mean they're different from my time. No wonder I need to advance to the next level..."

"I was wondering before, hunting a Saint upon entering the realm? I've done it before, so is it different? Now I understand, it is indeed different. Hunting a Saint now actually brings merit?"

"The way to avert calamity through good deeds is to address this issue."

The Star Mother Yuanjun seemed to understand.

I finally understood why I still had to enter the tribulation; it turns out the version had been updated.

The last shortcoming in my journey to the fourth stage is merit, which is the source of my merit.

It's not easy to reach the fourth tier of True King; it requires willpower, magical power, comprehension, secret techniques, supernatural abilities, accumulation, merit, and so on.

None of them can be missing; only when everything is satisfied can one overcome the tribulation.
