Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Thunderclouds rolled in, and the deep and terrifying aura of thunder and lightning spread out.

Thunder is the punishment from heaven and the penalty from the way of heaven.

Since ancient times, thunder has always been the representative of the way of heaven, the symbol of the great way, a fierce and fiery technique, and a way to punish evil.

At the same time, thunder is also the calamity that causes all cultivators in the heavens and myriad worlds to break through.

It is not just human cultivators who need to endure thunder tribulations, other creatures need them to some extent as well.

For example, demons, elves, spirits, and monsters all need to go through thunder tribulations to transform and break through.

According to the nine realms of cultivation recognized by all the heavens and worlds, it is common to go through a thunder tribulation in each realm since the foundation is laid.

Especially for the further sublimation of the Purple Mansion Realm and the Spirit Transformation Realm, whether it is to obtain the Golden Elixir, to step onto the Great Dao for the first time, or to break through the realm and refine the void, or to ascend to heaven, one needs to go through the thunder tribulation.

The golden elixir thunder tribulation and the refining void thunder tribulation are also the most terrifying tribulations for all living beings.

But when one reaches the level of Lianxu, thunder tribulations become less frequent.

From the stage of refining emptiness to the stage of fusion and then to Mahayana, there are only two thunder tribulations: the Mahayana thunder tribulation when there is no hope of achieving pure yang in the stage of fusion, and one can only go through the thunder tribulation of breaking through the realm; and the thunder tribulation which is one of the three disasters that one must go through in the stage of refining emptiness.

Not to mention the Mahayana thunder tribulation, as the only two thunder tribulations in the upper three realms, the horror of the Lianxu thunder tribulation is enough to make the immortals and gods in the upper three realms, even if they have reached the fusion realm or the Mahayana realm, still tremble with fear when they recall it.

The Bi wind destroys the soul and breaks the bones and flesh; the Yin fire burns the body and burns away all the magic power.

Thunder disasters bombard the nature of living beings, directly strike the Dao fruit, and bombard the bones. If one is not careful, the Dao fruit will be damaged, and all the Dao practices will be wiped out.

The reason why the Three Disasters are called the Three Disasters is that they can help to refine the minds of immortals and gods, to strengthen their roots and Taoist heart, to forge their true spirits and divine souls, and to use disasters to encourage living beings to generate the Three Flowers, and then to take a further step on the Great Dao.

Without the three flowers gathering at the top of the head, how can one achieve integration and how can one glimpse the pure yang?

All the upper three realms say: The Three Disasters of Refining Void, which are the calamities that all Refining Void living beings must go through. If you can get through them, you will be free and enlightened; if you can’t get through them, you will die and your enlightenment will be gone.

However, Jiang Sheng had never seen a creature overcome three disasters at once!
The Yin Fire is still burning and the Bi Wind is still blowing.

The wind and fire continued, and Jiang Sheng suffered two disasters. The golden flower and the lead flower could never be successfully bred. At this time, the thundering lightning undoubtedly became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Along with the surge of thunderclouds, the blood-red thunder and deep purple thunder flickered and intertwined, converging into a ball of deep black thunder. The flickering black thunder was as dark as the chaotic void, extinguished and without light.

In an instant, silent thunder exploded in Jiang Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness and flashed in Jiang Sheng's spiritual platform.

The pitch-black thunder fell from the sky and struck Jiang Sheng's true spirit directly, leaving cracks all over Jiang Sheng's true spirit, which had just recovered a little.

At the same time, the thunderbolt came down along the true spirit and penetrated into Jiang Sheng's head. Then the thunderbolt began to destroy everything inside Jiang Sheng's physical body wantonly.

Flesh and blood were burnt and bones were broken, meridians were severed and magic power evaporated. Jiang Sheng's internal organs, eight extraordinary meridians, three gates and nine orifices were all shattered and shriveled under this thunder, turning into charcoal.

Nearly a thousand years of Taoist practice and magic power were almost wiped out by this strike of thunder.

The clear halo behind the Taoist's head had shattered and dissipated, and the Taoist fruit was full of cracks.

With a strike of lightning, Jiang Sheng's breath instantly weakened, and he, who was about to sublimate, fell back into the abyss again.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, accompanied by the roar of pitch-black thunder, a large part of the green lotus pond was instantly destroyed, and the Taoist who was guarded by thousands of green lotuses also had his body cracked and seemed to be shattered.

The black lotus that had taken root in Jiang Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness took the opportunity to begin to erode Jiang Sheng's true spirit. The source of darkness began to spread in the clear pool water. The filthy power of the abyss unscrupulously climbed on the green lotuses, transformed them, and began to invade Jiang Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Ling Yuan, you can withstand two disasters, but now three disasters are coming at the same time. How long can you hold on?"

Black Lotus looked at Jiang Sheng proudly, its seven petals swaying freely, expressing its excitement and excitement.

Its plan has not failed. As long as it can occupy Jiang Sheng's true spirit and replace him, it can still climb the avenue and achieve Pure Yang!
For a moment, under the roar of the pitch-black thunder, Jiang Sheng's purple palace and dantian all withered, and a large amount of inky black liquid in his sea of ​​consciousness contaminated the pool water, and black lotuses began to grow wildly.

Jiang Sheng's breath became weaker and weaker, Jiang Sheng's Dao Fruit was crumbling, his body turned into charcoal, and his soul was shattered. Jiang Sheng was now a fragmented fruit that could shatter completely at any time.

The Bifeng enveloped Jiang Sheng's true spirit and body, and then continued to surge and grow in Jiang Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness.

Outside the pool where blue and black lotuses intertwined, a wind started to blow.

The Yin Fire continued to burn, and his Taoism, magic power, limbs, bones, and soul were all burned by the Yin Fire. After burning through all of them, the Yin Fire also poured into Jiang Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness and began to wreak havoc.

There is a fire burning in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The pitch-black thunderbolts kept striking down with the force of wind and fire. Every thunderbolt made Jiang Sheng's true spirit a little thinner, and every thunderbolt made Jiang Sheng's breath a little weaker. Under the continuous thunderbolts, Jiang Sheng's body and soul were like a broken house with leaks everywhere, unable to block anything anymore.

The heaviest thunder followed his true spirit, along the top of his head, and blasted into Jiang Sheng’s sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, the pitch-black thunder blasted Jiang Sheng's true spirit from its ascending state into his physical body and knocked it into his sea of ​​consciousness.

There was thunder in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Wind disaster, lightning disaster, fire, the three disasters of refining emptiness raged in Jiang Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness, destroying everything wantonly.

The few green lotuses that were already there were all destroyed by the violent storm.

For a moment, under the ravages of wind, thunder and fire, Jiang Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness became dim, the water in the pool was as black as ink, all the green lotuses turned into black lotuses, and even the Taoist in a green crown and black robe in the center of the pool had his body cracked and thin as dust.

The black lotus looked at Jiang Sheng's thin and weak breath and couldn't help but be surprised and happy: "Lingyuan! You still lost!" After that, the black lotus grew wildly, and all the black lotuses continued to grow and spread under the blessing of wind, thunder and fire, filling the entire sea of ​​consciousness pool and surrounding the fragmented figure of the Taoist.

Then a seven-petal black lotus rose from under the Taoist's body. The seven-petal black lotus slowly bloomed, and then enveloped the Taoist's body in the lotus pedestal.

"A thousand years later, the black lotus blooms, and the one sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform is me!"

Hei Lian said proudly.

However, the Taoist wrapped in the black lotus slowly opened his eyes: "Really?"

Hei Lian choked: "You are still alive?"

Jiang Sheng's body was in pieces and on the verge of collapse, as if it could be destroyed by a breath, but Jiang Sheng's eyes were still as calm as ever. In his eyes, the green lotus was slowly turning, unyielding and fearless.

"When did I fall?"

"You may feel that you have me in your hands and can decide whether I live or die."

"But after a thousand years, how did you know that it was you, not me, sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform?"

Jiang Sheng spoke slowly, his eyes seemed to see through the layers of lotus petals to the lush black lotus in his sea of ​​consciousness, and the thunder, wind and fire that were raging in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"My method of cultivation is called the Yin-Yang Tribulation, the Three Transformations and the Five Elements Magical Method."

"Speaking of which, it is the path of the Three Calamities and the End of the World."

"I comprehended this Dao when I was in the realm of Taiyi Yuanying. To this day, although I often use the power of the Three Calamities to attack the enemy, I also watch the annihilation of a world and comprehend the Dao of the Last Catastrophe."

"But I have never felt the power of the Three Calamities."

“Now, thanks to you, the three disasters have been inflicted upon me, burning my body and soul, destroying my true spirit and Dao fruit, and annihilating my true self and nature.”

"However, I am also in this situation. I have gained a new understanding of the Three Calamities Technique and the Way of the End of the Calamity. Do you want to hear about it?"

Hei Lian felt a sudden sense of panic for no reason. He didn't know what went wrong and always felt like he had done something wrong.

However, these three disasters cannot be resolved with the help of external forces and can only be resolved by oneself.

How could a newly promoted Void Refiner who had only broken through the Void Refiner realm for four hundred years have the ability to overcome the three disasters?

As if he had sensed what Hei Lian was thinking, Jiang Sheng said calmly: "The three disasters cannot be overcome by external things, but only by relying on oneself."

"The three disasters of wind, thunder and fire are nothing more than forging the spirit, energy and soul, and shaping the nature and destiny."

"This disaster originates from the essence of living beings, from the spirit, the body, and the fruit of the Tao."

"To overcome the three disasters is to enlighten one's mind and see one's nature, refine the treasures of the three origins, and forge the shapes of the three hues."

“Refining essence into qi gives rise to lead flowers; refining qi into spirit gives rise to silver flowers; refining spirit into emptiness gives rise to gold flowers. The nurturing of these three flowers is the ascension of essence, qi and spirit.”

"Nature, destiny, truth, I also call it emptiness, image, and form."

"The wind of emptiness, the thunder of image, and the fire of form are just like the wind, thunder, and fire that rage in my sea of ​​consciousness and on my body and soul."

"To some extent, the three disasters are also the evolution of human flower, earth flower, and sky flower."

Jiang Sheng slowly told Hei Lian about his understanding of the Three Disasters of Refining Void, the heaven, earth, and man, and the essence, energy, and spirit, which made Hei Lian feel more and more uneasy.

Just as the black lotus was about to move, the raging Beifeng Jielei Yinhuo suddenly enveloped it.

The Yin Fire spread upward from the roots of the black lotus, burning everything.

The wind blew down from the black lotus pouch and destroyed everything.

For a moment, the black lotus had difficulty controlling itself. The raging wind and fire seemed to begin to destroy the black lotus because the black lotus had devoured Jiang Sheng's true soul.

The raging Yin Fire and Bei Feng began to burn the dark ink pool and destroy the ink lotuses.

With the combination of wind and fire, countless black lotuses were destroyed as if they had experienced a violent storm, and then withered and perished under the scorching heat of the Yin Fire.

At the same time, dark thunder gathered here and continued to fall down.

The pitch-black thunder exploded into the ink pool, splashing thousands of ink muds and shattering large pieces of ink lotus.

In Jiang Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness, the Black Lotus Pond that was transformed from the Green Lotus Pond had turned into a mess under the ravages of wind, thunder and fire.

Everywhere there were black lotuses that had been burned, blown off, and shattered. Only the black lotus that enveloped Jiang Sheng's true soul was still intact. However, the black lotus was no longer in control of itself.

"Ling Yuan! What did you do to me?!"

Jiang Sheng's voice was still cold and calm: "You took the initiative to plunge into my sea of ​​consciousness and wanted to devour me, so you must naturally bear the disasters that I have experienced."

"As you wish, when the three disasters are over, the one sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform will be a brand new me."

"Brand new, True Lord Yuchen Lingyuan." (End of this chapter)
