Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Robbery power!

The cultivation world of Cangwu evolved from chaos, and everything is in constant flux. There are deaths of innate beings and births of acquired beings, along with the seven emotions and six desires, birth, aging, sickness, and death.

As the complex world began to function, all sorts of calamities were born.

The tribulations of illness, life and death, love and hate, rise and fall... this is called the "human tribulations".

Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, floods, thunderstorms, landslides... these are natural calamities, also known as "earthly calamities".

Inner demons, heavenly thunder, blockage of the five senses, the five signs of decay of heaven and man, bewitching, inner fire and yin wind... This is the Dao Tribulation, also known as the [Heavenly Tribulation].

The three tribulations of Heaven, Earth, and Man have existed on the land of Cangwu for countless years.

The upper limit of the Cangwu Realm is fixed; it's impossible for it to kill the Thunder Qilin with a single bolt of lightning. That's unreasonable and doesn't conform to the laws and principles of the universe.

Therefore, the punishment of lightning can at most reach the standard of "ascension tribulation". In reality, it cannot be as exaggerated as it appears. What is truly lethal is the tribulation power accumulated over countless years!
When faced with external interference from the tribulation lightning, the Heavenly Dao simply intensifies the output of the tribulation force.

As the saying goes: "The higher the virtue, the deeper the calamity!"
This is killing you in terms of fate and destiny. In the real world, this means that even if you defend with all your might, a weakness will still be found.

Despite being full of vitality, your life force can be suddenly severed, starting from your limbs and bones, gradually disintegrating you.

It's like an opponent who knows you inside and out, using everything about you to turn against you, with every move seemingly ingenious and flawless.

When calamity leads to slaughter and war, even sages will perish!
This power is one of the top applications of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect and Fortune. Below the Great Thousand Worlds, only the Heavenly Dao is qualified to control it.

Gu Qing had some knowledge of the Five Innate Virtues because of the "Power of Saintly Virtue". This calamity power was countered by Yin Virtue. As the saying goes, "A wisp of Yin Virtue can reveal a glimmer of hope amidst countless calamities".

It's called restraint, but it's really just a sliver of hope remaining.

Good deeds are hard to cultivate; one cannot accumulate them without performing one good deed every day.

In the Cangwu Realm, the Five Virtues Great Dao are not manifest, and it is difficult to achieve virtue, reason, and magic. The only thing Gu Qing can do is to withstand the lightning tribulation with its power surging!
But this third lightning tribulation almost cost him his life.

His body was riddled with holes, his life force nearly extinguished, and the dense, overwhelming power of tribulation was still wreaking havoc within him, subtly affecting even his mind and will.

"this---"

"How could this be?"

The sudden turn of events startled Tian Yunzi and the others. Their previously confident expressions turned into worry, and the situation became critical!
"Everyone, is there any way to help Fellow Daoist Gu overcome this calamity?"

"Is using a magical artifact feasible?"

"Try?"

Daoist Jiu Lei was the first to step forward. He and Gu Qing went from being at odds to having a harmonious relationship, and after several major battles, they became close friends. Apart from being a bit sharp-tongued, he had no flaws.

"Go, Thunder Origin Dao Book, and help Fellow Daoist Gu weaken the lightning tribulation."

Unexpectedly, after the celestial treasure approached the tribulation clouds, it hummed for a while and then flew back, its celestial light and Daoist charm completely concealed, as if it didn't want to touch it any further.

Immortal artifacts possess spirits, and the power of tribulation is like a pile of dog excrement; whoever gets involved will suffer misfortune. Naturally, immortal treasures would not want to touch them.

This situation immediately caused great distress to everyone.

"What should I do..."

Beneath the calamity clouds, Gu Qing stood up shakily, his clear black and white eyes filled with bloodlust. He made a hand seal with one hand and shouted in a low voice.

"Heavenly Offering Technique, activate!"

This is a special supernatural power that he deduced based on his willpower. It was originally intended to exchange for various special powers that were hard to find or had disappeared in the Cangwu Realm, for use in cultivation.

But it also has the special effect of being directly connected to the Way of Heaven, just like a phone call that reaches the ears of Heaven!

It takes the chaotic divine thought as its seed and the secret technique of the Heavenly Shuttle as its garment.

He has completely concealed all the harmful things he has done to heaven and earth since he began his spiritual practice.

For example, the fact that a sacred site was used to refine artifacts, causing it to fall into disrepair.

For example, luring creatures from mountains and seas to secretly enter the territory.

For example, cutting off the western wilderness would damage the very source of Cangwu.

All such actions were blocked, while the good deeds they had done for Cangwu were amplified infinitely by injecting them into the Chaos Seed. For example, Zhan Youjun, who drove away the Netherworld invasion.

For example, releasing barren insects can stop the spread of diseases worldwide.

For example, sealing the large Chinese toon tree stump would prevent the spread of the taboo against the passage of time in Cangwu.

He uploaded everything, no matter how small, insignificant, or even a fleeting illusion.

Gu Qing believes that the Cangwu cultivation world does not lack the "Five Innate Virtues," but rather that the era of creation is too long ago, and the Five Virtues have long since disappeared. Otherwise, the Twelve Immortal Sects would not have records of this.

The fact that he can still use the holy power he obtained from the Mountain and Sea Realm is the best proof.

In order to quickly accumulate merit to resist calamity and thus gain a chance of survival, they used the "Heavenly Offering Technique" to amplify their contribution to the Cangwu world and the "Heavenly Shuttle Secret Method" to isolate themselves from harm to the Cangwu world.

This is the fastest way to accumulate good karma.

After completing this task, Gu Qing summoned many treasures, including the Creation Thunder Refining Array, his natal twin swords, the Holy Heaven Demon Banner, and the Phoenix Blood Pool, and activated the power of Nirvana to its fullest extent.

Use every means to resist the final lightning tribulation.

The tribulation clouds seemed to get stuck, pausing for a while before the fourth bolt of lightning struck. Its power was still terrifying, but most of the tribulation energy within it had dissipated.

Heaven didn't find him so offensive, and the evil act of external forces suddenly entering the tribulation didn't seem so bad after all.

Suddenly it looks nice to me!
This change overjoyed Gu Qing, who immediately withdrew all defensive measures and relied solely on the profound mysteries of Nirvana to protect his body and directly withstand the lightning strike.

The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped; the heavy, dark clouds dispersed.

A great deal of divine light descended from the sky, enveloping Gu Qing's riddled body.

Destruction precedes construction, and the result will be far superior to what was before.

The reshaping of his immortal body brought about by breaking through to the fourth rank, combined with the Nirvana Divine Power, allowed Gu Qing to advance even further on this foundation.

Physical body, consciousness, and magical power undergo a triple transformation.

Having advanced to the fourth rank, the lower level of the Dao, Gu Qing has taken another step forward. His inner grotto-heaven has been imbued with the profound wonders of immortal light and creation, causing all the beings he created to experience a surge in their origins and become more harmonious and beautiful in appearance.

"Fate! Fate—"

"Heavenly Demon Emperor, prepare to die!"

After briefly experiencing the new power, Gu Qing was furious. He was just a hair's breadth away from victory, but luckily he was quick-witted.

He also frequently used the method of burning lifespan to deduce the future, and he happened to have these two extraordinary techniques at hand; otherwise, he would have perished today due to the power of the calamity.

How could he not be angry? In fact, Gu Qing had no prejudice or hatred towards the demon race. When he was weak, he could let the snake demon go, and when he became strong, he could naturally let the demon race go as well.

Tribal warfare has nothing to do with personal likes or dislikes; there is no distinction between justice and evil, only between opposing factions!
At this moment, he felt a deep personal hatred for the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

A flash of light appeared in the void, and the figure vanished.

The powerful humans were left behind, looking at each other in disbelief. They hadn't yet recovered from Gu Qing's predicament. This series of events, like riding a rollercoaster, was truly suffocating.

In the realm of dreams and non-dreams.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor was suddenly struck by the angry voice and looked up abruptly, only to see Gu Qing's figure leap out from beneath him.

With a powerful kick, the Crimson Emperor's Edict, formed from the Three Thousand Great Dao Flames, was imprinted on the sole of his foot, crashing down like a star and then exploding violently.

The intensity and speed were completely different from before.

The mandible was dislocated, the facial scales were shattered, and black, foul-smelling blood was flowing out. The dislocated mandible was forcibly repositioned by hand.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor looked at Gu Qing with a cold gaze.

"You've succeeded in all of this; the human race is truly blessed with good fortune."

The Great Dream Immortal Lord appeared from the iridescent light, stood beside Gu Qing, and sneered.

"Not convinced? If you're not convinced, then your demon race should also create a [Four-Nine Immortal Path]!"

The contributions of our ancestors are enough to be remembered for eternity!
So what if you're jealous, you little beast?! (End of Chapter)
