Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

With one palm, golden lotus patterns unfolded in the sky.

Just as he was about to grab the three-foot-long and wide jade box in his palm, he did not expect that the next moment, infinite fairy light was emitted from behind the jade box.

Then, a space emerged.

"That is?"

Chen Ku's eyes narrowed.

Suddenly, he saw that behind the jade box, there were layers of heavenly palaces emerging. All the palaces were made of jade, and there seemed to be human-shaped creatures in them.

next moment,
Chen Ku's left eye actually conveyed an extremely close feeling towards the heavenly palace.

"What is that? The Thirty-Sixth Heaven?"

At this time, he had no idea where the phantom space opened up behind the jade box was, but he saw that the jade box actually flew directly into that space.

"Where to go!"

How could Chen Ku just watch this Xutian treasure box leave?

However, after his big hand touched that piece of space, it seemed as if it had penetrated a piece of misty light and shadow like a mirage, and he didn't catch anything.

After escaping into that bizarre space, Shangguan Yun's soul actually condensed on the jade box. He looked at Chen Ku's big hand and could not break into this world, and uttered a cold voice:
"Chen Ku, wait a minute. Don't think that just because you have obtained the body of a celestial being, you can completely control this cave world. There are three Xia Wang cave worlds in total. This is only one of his three caves, which stores his resurrected body. The other two caves contain the Xia Wang's 'power cultivation' and his 'martial arts will'. You stole something that does not belong to you. When I return as Xia Wang, I will take it back from you one by one!"

As soon as he finished speaking, that piece of space suddenly disappeared into the secret realm of the Great Snow Mountain.

Chen Ku withdrew his hand with a serious expression:
"Is that... the power to break through the dimension of space?"

With his current level of cultivation and knowledge, it was clear to him that the Xutian Treasure Box could actually connect different spatial realms just as the rumors said.

Although it seemed that the layers of heavenly palaces behind were still separated from here by an unknown distance of void, but with its ability to cross the void, it was easy for this Xutian Treasure Box to escape from the Xia Wang Realm.

"Shangguan Yun is not dead yet! He has escaped into the Xutian Treasure Box!" At this time, Shan Lingguan and Qin Yuxian also came over with ugly expressions: "This person knows much more secrets of the Xiawang Realm than us!"

Chen Ku took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "I guess he knew that the Xutian Treasure Box existed in the stone man's sea of ​​consciousness. I don't know how he communicated with the Xutian Treasure Box in the past one or two years. Not only did he successfully take control of the stone man's body, he even got the mark left by the chivalrous king Pei Dongliu in his body, so he was able to control the Xutian Treasure Box. He left this time to retrieve Pei Dongliu's other two inheritances."

"Strength and will?" Shan Lingguan and Qin Yu looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

The chivalrous king Pei Dongliu!
He was the peak king of the fifteenth realm, and he almost became the master of the world.

If all its strength and will were to return, then...

Chen Ku turned around and looked at the two teachers. Seeing the emotions in their eyes, he slowly spoke to comfort them, "Master, Senior Brother, don't worry too much. Not to mention that it's not so easy for the Chivalrous King Pei Dongliu to be resurrected, otherwise there would be no need to arrange so many backup plans. Even if he really resurrected, he might not be a match for me at that time."

I heard the confidence in Chen Ku's calm words.

Shan Lingguan and Qin Yuxian also looked at this terrifying disciple and junior fellow who seemed like the protagonist of the era in surprise.

“Junior brother, are you…confident that you can defeat even the chivalrous king of the fifteenth realm?” Qin Yuxian asked hesitantly.

"I just killed the stone man's body and gained a powerful force from it. Now, with the help of this force, the lotus seed condensed from the Hun Tian Gong body in my body has turned into a flower bud."

Chen Ku looked inwardly at his body and said to the two teachers:

“I feel that once this bud fully blooms and becomes a domineering golden lotus, my Hun Tian Dominant Body will be successfully cultivated.”

"Has it actually... reached this level?"

When Shan Lingguan heard this, he was surprised and said:
"That……"

As he spoke, he suddenly became serious:

"Then I'm afraid you'll have to prepare to survive the catastrophe next."

"Overcoming the tribulation?"

Chen Ku raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion:
"Do I need to go through tribulations to cultivate a dominant body?"

The concept of overcoming tribulation has always existed in the systems of spiritual cultivators and Qi training cultivators. When they reach the twelfth and tenth realms, they have to overcome their own tribulation and thunder tribulation respectively.

After a Qigong practitioner has passed his own tribulation, he can transform into an immortal body and enter the thirteenth realm, the 'Mahayana realm'. In the Yuan Kingdom, powerful Qigong practitioners at this realm are called Earth Immortals.

The thunder tribulation of a spiritual cultivator draws the masculine nature from the masculine thunder and tempers the feminine nature of his own yin spirit in order to make the soul pure yang.

After the tenth level of thunder tribulation, the soul cultivator can be transformed into a "loose immortal".

For both of them, overcoming tribulation is a process of transformation of their own essence.

Unexpectedly, the Hun Tian Ba ​​Ti also needs to pass the tribulation. "Hun Tian Ba ​​Ti is a path that combines the three systems of martial arts immortality, but as for passing the tribulation... In the legends of the Huang Jue Sect, there are not many records of this because no one has ever cultivated the Hun Tian Gong Ti like you."

Shan Lingguan said seriously:
"But there are some fragments of information that have been passed down, which says that the second generation of Tyrant Body did survive the catastrophe."

"Oh? Master, can you tell me in detail what form the calamity of the hegemonic body takes?" Chen Ku asked immediately.

Since it is a disaster, it means that it is a matter of life and death.

"It is said that this is a kind of 'Heavenly Tribulation'. Because Tyrant Body went against Heaven's will and attempted to control the power of the universe with human body power, Heaven would bring disaster to Tyrant Body." Shan Lingguan was silent for a moment, and said: "But what form this disaster takes is not very clear."

"Then...can the generation of hegemony also survive the calamity?" Chen Ku asked.

"It's not very clear. The first generation of hegemony is too far away from our era. And because he is the first innate hegemony, many things cannot be inferred by common sense..." said Shan Lingguan.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ku fell into deep thought.

In fact, he had already planned to go to the "Innate Furnace" in the transformation diagram.

Now I hear that I still need to overcome the tribulation.

Then, can I directly practice in the Xiantian furnace? If I can achieve the Xiantian Overlord Body in the Xiantian furnace, can I avoid the Heavenly Tribulation?

The premise is that the innate dominant body will not suffer from heavenly calamity.

This is something that has not been confirmed yet.

“I didn’t expect that you have been my disciple for only two years and you have already achieved such success.” Shan Lingguan felt that although Chen Ku had not yet achieved the Tyrant Body, he was already extremely powerful and he could not compare with him at all. He sighed and said, “It is a great fortune for me and Huangjue Sect to meet you.”

"Master, you don't have to say that. I can get to where I am today thanks to you for letting me enter this path of dominance. As for the Huangjue Sect, I will definitely make it reappear in the world."

Chen Ku informed the two of them about the big exam going on outside. Once the exam is over, he will be awarded a military rank by the court. Then, he will be a general who conquers one side, and he will have his own power and reputation under his command. Then, rebuilding a force in the troubled times will be a piece of cake.

"In that case, aren't you going out to take the exam?" asked Shan Lingguan.

Chen Ku nodded and said:

"Then I'll have to ask you two masters to stay in this Xiawang Realm for a few more days. Once I complete the exam, I'll send you out."

Having said that, the transformed clone he left outside actually possessed all his wisdom and thinking, so passing the Ten Palaces Assessment had no problem at all.

The rest, I'm afraid, will only be martial arts competitions between disciples, which require one's real-life participation.

"You go and do your own thing first. Your brother and I are now free again, which is much better than being trapped in the stone and unable to move." Shan Lingguan said with a smile.

Chen Ku didn't hesitate and his body disappeared from the spot.

……

Chen Ku appeared in the mind of his incarnation, only to see that the incarnation was already standing in front of the hall.

"Huh? Is the exam over already?"

Chen Ku was thinking in the incarnation's mind and was about to read the incarnation's memory when he heard the voice of the eighth prince Yang Hao coming from above the hall:

"The graduation examination of the first batch of students in Shenwu Mountain has come to a successful conclusion. Student Chen Ku is extremely talented and powerful, and is the best among his peers. No one dares to challenge him, so he is absolutely the champion of this batch of students in Shenwu Mountain. We are very pleased, and His Majesty has personally issued an imperial decree to confer a title as a reward. Chen Ku accepts the decree!"

What? No one challenged him?

Doesn’t Xue Baliu challenge him either?
The avatar immediately stepped forward.

Yang Hao held a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand:

"The Emperor of Fengwu Chengyun proclaimed:
I have heard that Chen Ku, a native of Qiulong, was originally the Grand Master of the Temple of Martial Arts. He was loyal to his country and worked tirelessly day and night.

You entered the Shenwu Academy, devoted yourself to further studies, achieved academic success, and made many outstanding achievements.

In the past, you were awarded the second-class honor, which showed your courage and perseverance;

On the day of the big exam, you made new achievements, turned the tide, and saved the college from collapse. Your meritorious service is outstanding, and I am very pleased.

Now your studies have been completed and you have topped all subjects. I am very pleased with you.

Er was specially appointed as the third-rank Major General of Longyuan, and was given the post of vanguard of the right army, and went to serve under the Governor of Yuanyue, Li Shentong.

I hope you will live up to my expectations, continue to be loyal to the country, make great achievements, and bring honor to our family.

So ordered!" (End of this chapter)
