Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 325: Bixia's Tribulation
After a moment, Wuzhan came to Bixia and said solemnly: "Surviving the tribulation is an act against the will of heaven. It goes beyond the limits of life and transforms the body. It violates the laws of nature and will attract the wrath of heaven and earth, and punish with the five elements of thunder. Every time a thunder strikes, one of the five elements in the body will be destroyed, burning the three souls and seven spirits. Surviving the tribulation for mortals is more difficult and painful than for people in heaven. They will endure three times the power, and their souls will be cursed. When they are undergoing the tribulation, their souls will be locked from all sides. Although it has lasted for hundreds of years and the curse has consumed a lot, it cannot be ignored. If you can survive all of this, you will temper your body to become an immortal, break free from the shackles of the five elements, and your soul will be pure and leave your body without dispersing. If you fail, your body will turn to ashes and your soul will fly away."

"Someone from the Nitian Sect became an immortal and had to go through this process. It was just that when they were going through the tribulation, they broke the curse, took elixirs, and used magical instruments."

Wuzhan took out the Taiyi Yuanzhen Furnace and continued, "Yuan Jun had already refined his finger bones before he crossed the calamity, which was equivalent to taking an elixir. The magic weapon is the Taiyi Yuanzhen Furnace that was seized. Using it as a support will slow down the release of the Five Thunders, making it easier for the body to bear. It will just take a longer time and the pain will not be any less."

"As for the curse, I will help Yuan Jun when he is going through the tribulation. I will take this opportunity to break it. Yuan Jun should be able to go through the sixth level of the tribulation."

Bixia was excited when she heard this. Let alone the sixth floor, she would give it a try even if it was the first floor. What's more, he had full confidence in Wuzhan. He said the sixth floor could basically be considered risk-free.

Bixia nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir. What should I do next?"

Wuzhan took out the Taiyi Yuanzhen Furnace, pinched his fingers, and the Yuanzhen Furnace floated above his head. It suddenly became larger, and the black and white light wheels rotated. The Tai Chi beam shone down, and the Bagua were arranged around the beam to form a hemispherical light shield.

Wuzhan said: "Please sit inside and use your soul to break the shackles. Then the five thunders will descend. At that time, you need to hold your Yuan and guard your Oneness, and endure the burning of the five thunders. This process is extremely painful."

……

It was just past the afternoon, the sun had not yet set, and the sky was clear.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, the leaves rustled, and the ground began to tremble slightly. Dark clouds rolled in from all directions of the sky, like four giant dragons winding their way, converging over Mount Huangshan and circling, forming a millstone that towered over the sky, and the sky began to darken.

Many people walked out of their houses, with fear on their faces, looking up at the sky and exclaiming in amazement. They had never seen such a sight before. It seemed as if the God was accumulating anger and wanted to punish the tiny creatures.

The millstone surged and rumbled, lightning flashed, and it contained enormous power. Some people began to become timid, fearing that the wrong things they had done would be noticed by God and he would send down thunder to punish them.

Feijian, Yunmeng and the others also noticed it. They walked out of the cave and looked up at the sky. They were shocked. Yunmeng sighed and said, "Did we offend the immortal? Is a disaster coming?"

Fei Jian didn't know the reason either. He frowned and thought, and was speechless for a while. This phenomenon was too terrifying.

"Boom..." Several golden lightning dragons struck down from the dark clouds, illuminating the entire sky, and the sound shook thousands of miles away.

Feijian, Yunmeng and others were so frightened when they saw the golden lightning falling straight towards them that they immediately fell to the ground. The entire Xuanyuan Peak was completely covered by the lightning. The light and roar lasted for a long time until the dark clouds disappeared and the sky turned blue again.

Feijian, Yunmeng and the others stood up, already covered in cold sweats. The lightning had frightened them half to death. Yunmeng looked at the tightly closed stone door with a puzzled look on his face and said, "This lightning is like golden lightning. Is someone going through a tribulation?"

Fei Jian also guessed this possibility and said, "That evil demon is obviously not a Qi cultivator, so he may not need to survive the tribulation. Only Bixia has this possibility. Does Master Yun still doubt that they are not in collusion? If she hadn't obtained the Dragon Fish River Map, how could Bixia survive the tribulation?"

Yun Meng shook her head and sighed, "I never thought Yuan Jun could do such a thing."

Fei Jian said: "You can know a person's face but not his heart. Now the real master should have a clear conscience."

As they were talking, dark clouds came from all directions again, and the sky darkened again. The millstone was bigger than before, rumbling so loudly that it made people breathless, and lightning flashed and it bared its fangs and claws.

Yun Meng sighed, "This is Mu Lei. It seems that she has survived the first disaster."

With a loud sound that could tear the eardrums, several green lights struck Xuanyuan Peak. The light seemed to tear the sky into pieces. It was so powerful that everyone who saw it was terrified.

Xuanyuan Peak roared deeply, green light intertwined and changed, and the dead trees also began to burn. From a distance, it looked like a glowing pagoda.

The well-informed people had already reacted. Knowing that someone from Xuanyuan Peak was undergoing the tribulation, they naturally thought of Yunmeng and thought, "Didn't they say that the tribulation was postponed? Why is it being carried out in advance? Don't they want everyone to watch?"

The green light disappeared and the sky became bright again, but clouds began to gather in all directions and rushed towards Huangshan.

Yun Meng said: "Just after the second calamity, the third calamity comes. This one is more powerful. I hope she can make it through it." This is a big event for the entire cultivation world. If Bixia succeeds in overcoming the calamity, it will surely bring strong confidence to the cultivators and give them hope. He originally wanted to do this, but now Bixia is one step ahead of him.

Fei Jian said: "I also hope that she can make it through, which will prove that the Dragon Fish River Map can indeed overcome the calamity. If she can hand these over, it will surely leave an immortal achievement for future generations."

"Crack..." Several black lightning bolts struck down.

……

Under the Taiyi Yuanzhen furnace, Bixia closed her eyes tightly, blood was hanging from the corners of her mouth, her hair was flying in all directions, her whole body was shaking, and red electric light was crackling everywhere.

This is the fourth calamity, the fire thunder.

She barely survived the previous three tribulations, but the power of this fourth tribulation was more than ten times stronger than the first. Her body was burning, and the pain was worse than death. She fainted and woke up instantly, then fainted again, repeating this countless times in one breath.

Invisible chains pulled the burning soul tightly from eight directions, trying to tear his soul apart. She only had a vague consciousness left, which was to "hold on."

However, this "perseverance" has its limits. Her soul is slowly being stretched, and her consciousness is about to be replaced by darkness. Perhaps in another moment, she will be torn apart.

'Crack, crack, crack...' The yellow lightning fell from the top of the space again, and the whole space was blindingly bright. The red lightning of the fourth calamity had not yet disappeared, and the lightning of the last calamity was coming, leaving no chance of survival for the living.

The electric light around Bixia began to rage and surge, and the sharp sound of explosions continued. At the same time, Wuzhan urged the Taiyi Yuanzhen furnace to rotate rapidly, and the eight hexagrams changed alternately, forming a golden bell light cover that wrapped Bixia inside.

Bixia finally couldn't bear it anymore. She opened her bloodshot eyes, screamed to the sky, and her soul was pulled out of her body.

At this critical moment, Wuzhan, unafraid of thunder and lightning, flew behind Bixia and placed one hand on her back. Continuous blue light immediately poured into Bixia's body, wrapping up the soul that was pulled out and pulling it back. The chains also took shape, with a total of eight chains, flashing with black light and creaking.

Bixia woke up and felt a powerful force protecting her from behind. That force was irresistible, mysterious and vast, lonely and silent, as if it was the master of this world. The people she wanted to protect must not be violated.

Wuzhan bit his finger, and eight drops of blood flew into the air. He made a hand gesture and silently chanted a spell. The eight drops of blood turned into red talismans and fell onto the eight chains.

The chains instantly caught fire and formed eight fire dragons. "Don't be distracted, Yuanjun. I can only break the curse, but this calamity can only be borne by Yuanjun alone, and no one else can take your place." After saying that, he placed his palm on Bixia's back and pulled back with all his strength. His whole arm was shaking, and it was obvious that the force was very great.

"Huh..." Wuzhan pulled the eight chains into his hands, and flames several feet high ignited on his palms. He used his own soul to replace them, "drawing fire upon himself."

Bixia's soul returned immediately. Although her soul was still burning, she felt much more relaxed. She continued to hold on to the Yuan and remain One, enduring the tempering of thunder and lightning.

"Break it for me!" Wuzhan shouted, and shook his palm vigorously. The eight chains "snap..." and were shattered by the huge force at the same time, and the chains dissipated.

Wuzhan jumped out of the lightning. The whole process was very short and the lightning was still burning in Bixia's body.

……

As the last flash of lightning disappeared in the body, Bixia opened her eyes, let out a "wow...", and spat out a mouthful of dirty blood. This dirty blood was the remnant of the turbid matter refined in the body, not the blood from the heart.

Bixia's soul consciousness has never been so powerful. She can easily sense the five elements of energy around her and can even touch it.

Moreover, my body felt more relaxed than ever before, as if it had no weight at all, as if it could fly with the wind.

Reaching out and looking at her crystal clear skin, Bixia knew that her body had passed the tribulation and become an immortal body. The excitement in her heart was self-evident. Looking at the person who gave her this opportunity, her gratitude was beyond words.

She stood up and walked in front of Wuzhan. She already understood that the reason why Wuzhan was not in a hurry to leave was to help her overcome the tribulation. It could also be said that this process was already set and she only needed to nod to complete it.

Wuzhan sat against the stone wall, took out the jar of wine, placed it beside him, and said with a smile: "Now it depends on whether Yuanjun dares to drink this thousand-year-old wine."

Bixia knew that she had received such a great favor and needed no thanks, so she smiled and said, "Who said I dare not!" She picked up the jar of wine, opened the lid, and the aroma of wine filled her nose. She glanced at Wuzhan, raised the jar of wine, tilted her head back and took a big gulp.

It was hot in the mouth and burned all the way to the stomach. Bixia almost spit out the wine. She was afraid of making a fool of herself in front of Wuzhan, so she endured it. However, her eyes were full of tears and her cheeks were flushed. She wiped away the spilled wine with her sleeve and said reluctantly, "Is the gentleman satisfied now?"

Wuzhan clapped his hands and smiled, "I didn't expect that Yuanjun also has a free and easy side. I have experienced it today."

Bixia handed the jar of wine to Wuzhan and said, "Don't laugh at me, it's your turn!" Then she sat next to Wuzhan.

Wuzhan raised his head and took a big sip, as if he was not drinking wine but plain water. He put down the wine jar, shook his head and smiled, "It's a waste to let me drink such precious wine. Even if I drink a thousand cups, I won't get drunk once."

Bixia asked, "Why do you have to get drunk when you drink?"

"If you don't want to get drunk, you might as well drink tea."

Bixia's usual elegance was gone, replaced by a slow and delicate manner. She asked softly, "What does it feel like to be drunk?" She felt her heart floating, and the stone walls around her became soft.

"I don't know either, but I heard from Yang Yingjie that it is a feeling of ecstasy, and one will forget a lot of troubles. If it gets bigger, perhaps one will be full of lofty sentiments and talk nonsense. If it gets bigger, one will become confused and forget everything. My two demon disciples are often like this."

Bixia picked up the wine jar and said with a smile: "Sir, you are right. It seems that I am not drunk yet. Since I have broken the precept once, I must get drunk to be considered drunk."
