I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 538 The Mysterious Pivot of Man and Earth, Facing Heavenly Tribulations

The Heavenly Tribulation Crystal finally melted completely.

The red and yellow passage connecting the Crimson Palace and the Yellow Court gradually stabilized.

Silently sensing the flow of qi, blood, energy, and true essence through the channels, and then transforming them into the power they needed through the Crimson Palace and Yellow Court, Xia Daoming couldn't help but think of the steam engine from his previous life.

In the past, the steam engine converted chemical energy into heat energy, and then heat energy into mechanical energy, thus machine production gradually replaced manual labor.

That was the first industrial revolution in his previous life, a revolution that marked a new era for humanity.

Now, the opening of this channel is like a steam engine, enabling the energy conversion between vital energy and true essence.

This is also a milestone for Xia Daoming!

From then on, he was able to integrate and utilize both body refinement and qi refinement.

As the saying goes, when divided, strength is scattered; when united, strength is complete.

The integration of these two forces will undoubtedly greatly increase his strength.

At least, from now on, his tribulations of becoming a divine weapon and a god will be much easier.

In this way, he not only has the opportunity to continue to seize the Heavenly Tribulation Crystal of the Divine Transformation Tribulation, but also the opportunity to seize the Heavenly Tribulation Crystal of the Divine Weapon Tribulation.

The latter was originally too dangerous and difficult, and Xia Daoming had almost no chance.

Now the opportunities have greatly increased.

According to records, the Heavenly Tribulation Crystal can only be refined once; it will have no effect after being refined a second time.

However, the Divine Weapon Tribulation is different from the Divine Transformation Tribulation. Xia Daoming believes that the Heavenly Evolution Tribulation Crystal hidden behind the Divine Weapon Tribulation must also be different.

He can refine it one more time!
“The Crimson Palace connects to the blood vessels of a person, while the Yellow Court is the root palace of the earth. This passage can be called the mysterious pivot of man and earth.”

Xia Daoming pondered to himself, his eyes unconsciously gazing at the sky.

Calamity clouds began to gather there.

Soon, the clouds of calamity churned and lightning flashed, and immense divine might enveloped the small island, so much so that even the surrounding seas within a thousand miles fell silent.

The creatures of the seabed all fled into the depths or far away, and then dared not move a muscle.

This time, the divine might was far more astonishing than the one that occurred dozens of days ago.

Xia Daoming, who had just survived a Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, was unexpectedly faced with a second Heavenly Tribulation.

Fortunately, no one knew at the time.

Otherwise, they'd be scared out of their minds!
How can anyone live when two calamities occur almost simultaneously?
However, when Xia Daoming saw the tribulation clouds gathering again, he showed no panic or surprise. On the contrary, he seemed to have expected it and even revealed a look of understanding and anticipation.

"No wonder the Heavenly Tribulation Crystal can only be refined once, and for such a long time. It turns out that the Heavenly Tribulation Crystal contains the divine grace of nine Nascent Soul Tribulations."

One seizure is essentially taking all the divine grace and opportunities from the nine tribulations of Nascent Soul in advance. It's just that some of them are not yet understood or utilized. They need to be refined by heavenly lightning before they can be gradually activated and used.

However, compared to receiving divine favors time and time again, refining the Heavenly Tribulation Crystal was ultimately ahead of the curve. Not only did it bring far more benefits, but it also allowed one to stay ahead of the curve.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the subsequent tribulation should proceed without problems, and my strength will certainly be considerably greater than that of other Nascent Soul cultivators at the same level.

Xia Daoming looked up at the calamity clouds, his mind racing, but he showed no sign of tension.

Others need to undergo the tempering of heavenly lightning before the Heavenly Tribulation Crystal can be gradually activated and utilized.

Therefore, after surviving one heavenly tribulation, one needs to cultivate and settle down for a period of time before triggering a second heavenly tribulation.

But he is different.

He has already experienced two tribulations of divine weapons, and his divine soul and consciousness far surpass those of a first-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. He has also opened up the Human-Earth Profound Pivot and refined the Heavenly Evolution Tribulation Crystal. He no longer needs to undergo the tempering of the Nascent Soul Tribulation Lightning to understand and utilize the Heavenly Grace and Creation that far surpasses that of a first-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Therefore, his second tribulation followed closely behind.

Because the Dao he has now comprehended has already surpassed the standard of the second kalpa.

His true essence and magical power were already far more abundant than those of ordinary first-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. Now, with the boundless sea of ​​blood as a reserve, as long as Xia Daoming was willing, not to mention the second-stage standard, the third-stage or even the fourth-stage would be no problem.

Soon, the tribulation lightning descended. One after another, a total of eighteen lightning bolts.

Having undergone the tempering of the first Nascent Soul Tribulation and been nourished by the divine grace contained in the Heavenly Tribulation Crystal, Xia Daoming's physical body is now even more powerful.

He withstood the second heavenly tribulation with his bare body.

As the tribulation lightning dissipated, a giant golden dragon claw pierced through the tribulation clouds and seized a piece of Heavenly Tribulation Crystal.

The golden dragon claw twisted and became illusory, but quickly returned to a normal palm.

Looking at the Heavenly Tribulation Crystal, which was about the size of a thumb in his palm, Xia Daoming's eyes flashed with golden light, and his powerful divine sense continued to probe.

It was said that the Heavenly Tribulation Crystal could only be refined once. Although Xia Daoming believed it to be true, he still needed to verify it.

Using his divine eye and powerful divine sense to examine it closely, Xia Daoming discovered that the Heavenly Tribulation Crystal in his hand was no different from the one he had refined.

Soon, Xia Daoming dripped a drop of his essence blood down.

A mysterious sense of connection arose between him and the Heavenly Tribulation Crystal.

"Indeed, it's no different! It seems that what Gu Wen said was true." Xia Daoming calmed down and carefully sensed it. He vaguely felt that this Heavenly Tribulation Crystal was exactly the same as the previous one. Finally, he gave up completely and erased the blood essence mark on the Heavenly Tribulation Crystal.

After putting away the Heavenly Tribulation Crystal, Xia Daoming looked up at the sky, his eyes revealing a burning passion, as if some peerless treasure was hidden behind the empty, azure sky.

"Let's go again!" Soon, a powerful aura burst forth from Xia Daoming.

The clouds of calamity gather once more.

The tribulation lightning struck again.

This time it is the Tribulation of the Three Nines, with a total of twenty-seven heavenly lightning bolts.

In the last two trials, Xia Daoming used the Yin-Yang Two Elements Sword and the Myriad Ghosts Banner to aid his physical body, and then successfully passed the third Nascent Soul Tribulation, and also seized a piece of Heavenly Tribulation Crystal.

"There aren't enough to go around!"

Looking at the two Heavenly Tribulation Crystals in his hand, and thinking of his master Zuo Dongge and his three beloved wives, Xia Daoming suddenly felt a little worried, and then naturally looked up at the sky.

"Do you want to do it again?"

"Let's stabilize first and properly digest and absorb what we've gained from these three tribulations!"

In the end, Xia Daoming chose to be cautious.

Soon, the auspicious dragon boat took off from the small island and flew back the way it had come.

Standing at the bow of the boat was Xuanming Nuwa, while Xia Daoming sat cross-legged in the middle of the boat, his eyes lowered, comprehending the Great Dao and digesting the enormous gains from these three heavenly tribulations.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Xia Daoming slowly opened his eyes, got up and walked to the bow of the boat.

"My lord, we should be able to reach Qingni Island in about twenty days," Xuanming Wa Si reported, bowing as Xia Daoming stood up.

Qingni Island has an ancient teleportation array that connects to the teleportation array of Fuyu Immortal Island, spanning a dangerous sea area hundreds of millions of miles long, rife with demonic energy.

"Yes, we're getting closer to home!" Xia Daoming nodded.

“Since Your Majesty is homesick, why don’t I, Nuwa, take you to the sea and ride the waves? That should be much faster!” Nuwa said upon hearing this.

"It would be too much of a commotion and exhausting, so there's no need for that." Xia Daoming waved his hand, then scanned the surroundings with golden light in his eyes.

He quickly located a deserted island.

"Is the Lord about to undergo the fourth tribulation of becoming a Nascent Soul?" Xuanming Nuwa and Xia Daoming were of one mind and immediately sensed his thoughts.

"I have been meditating and cultivating for the past three years, and my strength in both body and qi has increased a lot. It is time for me to undergo another tribulation and seize a piece of Heavenly Tribulation Crystal."

"It's a pity there's no follow-up cultivation method for the Ancestral Dragon Overlord Body, otherwise I could have used the tempering of the fourth Nascent Soul Tribulation to cultivate the Ancestral Dragon Overlord Body to a higher level. However, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future to temper the body through heavenly tribulations and cultivate the Ancestral Dragon Overlord Body, so this one won't make a difference," Xia Daoming said.

　That concludes today's update.
