The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 172 Overcoming the Tribulation
"One hundred thousand cultivators who cultivated their spiritual consciousness died!?"

This number is extremely shocking.

You should know that cultivating spiritual consciousness and not cultivating spiritual consciousness are two different concepts.

Those who have not cultivated spiritual awareness are only engaged in basic social production, ensuring the normal operation of a sect's grassroots level.

Their existence is like the bottom cornerstone, continuously selecting those who have cultivated spiritual consciousness that are beneficial to the development of the sect.

This class then makes the sect function by producing spirit stones and filling some key departments that require spirit stones to operate, and then cultivates more management class, backbone class, and ruling class, until finally forming the sect as a whole.

It is no exaggeration to say that by cultivating spiritual consciousness, one can change one's destiny, escape from the bottom of society, and receive good treatment in any department. Even if one wants to join other sects, one will not be rejected.

At the moment, hundreds of thousands of elites have been lost all at once...

"In order to show the world their influence, Wuji Xinggong has mobilized more than a dozen patrol warships to blockade our Jiuding Sect from all directions. The east, south, west, north, and even the sky above our heads are all filled with their patrol warships and Tiangong monks."

Qin Yi said: "The effect of this on the comprehensive ban on our Jiuding Sect is naturally amazing. I think you have also felt that the Xushen Realm has become unstable recently, right? But... the investment of such power naturally led to the relaxation of defense in other aspects. It was also at this time that the remnants of the Liusha Sect, who had been planning for a long time, sneaked into the Sun and Moon Peak and closed the protective formations of the Sun and Moon Peak. Then, a great magic cultivator took action... and almost completely destroyed this huge mountain..."

"How will Wuji Xinggong react?"

Yaoguang Road.

"This behavior seriously challenges the dignity of the Wuji Xing Palace. Whether it is to give an explanation to the insiders or to show their fangs to the outside world, they must take action. I don't know what the specific action is, but... I'm afraid they won't have that much energy to deal with us in the next period of time."

Qin Yi said: "Of course, there will be some economic, influence, and blockade from the Cangwu League, but at least they won't dare to mobilize a dozen patrol warships to blockade our Jiuding Sect like they are doing now... After all, God knows how many remnants of the Liusha Sect are lurking in the Wuji Star Palace, and how many forces are dissatisfied with the Wuji Star Palace's tyranny and are waiting for an opportunity to act."

Yaoguang nodded.

The attention of Wuji Xinggong shifted...

It is just right for the Jiuding Sect to secretly expand and change its outfit.

At that moment, he went straight to Purple Rose and took out a jade talisman.

"This is the design of my upgraded Zixiao Type 12 flying sword. Take a look."

"A treasure!?"

Zi Qiangwei was slightly startled, and then couldn't help showing surprise in her eyes: "You...you can refine a treasure?"

"It's just this type of flying sword."

Yaoguang said: "Well, from a spiritual weapon to a treasure weapon, it is also a big generation gap, so let's call it Zixiao Type 13 Flying Sword."

The mid-grade treasure of the future will be called Zixiao 14, and the top-grade treasure will be called Zixiao 15.

Of course, mid-grade treasures are often substitutes for top-grade treasures, so Yaoguang won't spend too much time on it. When the funds are sufficient and the formation is upgraded, he will directly start designing the Zixiao 15 type, and its performance will reach the fourth or even fifth generation level of the Zixiao 15 flying sword.

If we could really equip all the elite great sword cultivators with fifth-generation flying swords...

Not only can they suppress the Wujixing Palace sword cultivators, but if they fight against the Dayi Sword Sect again, it will no longer be the Dayi Sword Sect beating them 40:7, but they will achieve this result against the Dayi Sword Sect.

"I will ask Master Dong Liushui to verify it now."

Zi Qiangwei said, glancing at Yaoguang: "How about we go to Chicheng together?"

"Let's verify it first."

Yaoguang Road.

Once the formation level is raised and you are able to refine Zixiao 15, it won’t be too late to go to Chicheng.

As for now...

He has more important things to do.

……

"Overcoming the tribulation?"

Bai Lu, a great cultivator in the Yuanshen realm who was specifically responsible for protecting Yaoguang, looked at him with a somewhat surprised expression.

However, thinking about the rich background that Yaoguang had displayed when he controlled the Nine Heavens Thunder Sword Formation not long ago, she suddenly realized.

"Yes, the reason why you have been delayed in the ninth level of soul refining for so long is to lay a more solid foundation so that you can make great progress. With the foundation of your soul at this moment, it is not difficult to accept the tempering of Blazing Sun Heavenly Thunder."

Bai Lu nodded.

"This time I just want to ask the Lord of Bailu Palace about the specific matters of Heavenly Thunder Tempering."

"Specific matters..."

Bai Lu organized her words a bit, and slowly said: "The Yuanshen is condensed by divine thoughts, which is invisible and intangible, and belongs to the yin. Thunder is extremely strong and yang. The process of overcoming the tribulation is actually a process of tempering the Yuanshen through the conflict between yin and yang. This kind of tempering is very efficient, but the process is extremely dangerous. Therefore, before we, the Yuanshen realm cultivators, are promoted, we must do our best to enrich our own foundation and improve the Yuanshen realm."

Yaoguang nodded.

Once a cultivator at the Yuanshen realm manifests his Yuanshen in the heavenly thunder layer, the Yin attribute of the Yuanshen will attract the strongest and most yang heavenly thunder to bombard him.

"Thunder Tribulation Tempering is often divided into three stages. The first stage is to receive the first Heavenly Thunder Tempering, until the ninth Heavenly Thunder Tempering. This stage is called the 19th Thunder Tribulation. After that, it is the process of receiving the 10th to 27th Heavenly Thunder Tempering, which is the 39th Thunder Tribulation. And the final stage is the 9981st Heavenly Thunder Tempering. After experiencing the 9981st Heavenly Thunder Tempering, the strength of the Yuan Shen will reach its peak, and then you can try to enter the Purple Sky Divine Thunder Layer."

Bai Lu glanced at Yao Guang and said, "Your foundation is very strong, which is enough for you to complete the tempering of the nineteenth thunder tribulation in one go. However, I do not recommend you to do this. Even if your foundation is strong, it is best to practice step by step. If you act rashly, you will easily put yourself in danger."

"I'll decide based on the situation." Yaoguang said, and asked curiously, "I heard that when being tempered by the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, it is easy to comprehend the mysteries of chaos and condense the Dharma image in one breath. Is this rumor true or false?"

"In theory, it is true, but the reason why the Dharmadhatu is so powerful is not because of the perception of the mysteries of chaos, but because it can condense its own virtual world! And if you want to condense your own virtual world, you must have a strong enough divine consciousness. If you want a strong enough divine consciousness, you must temper your soul again and again!"

Bai Lu explained.

"Virtual God Realm."

Yaoguang repeated this word.

The virtual world can be understood as the Internet world and the information world.

But it belongs to the broad network world and information world, and even tends to the quantum world.

The mystery of chaotic space and time contained in it makes it possible for the communication between the virtual world of gods and the outside world to have no distance or delay restrictions at all.

The virtual world of gods currently used by the world was left behind by the Dharma images that fell during the war with the Moon Demon Empire. It is a public virtual world of gods.

Any sect or force can connect to and enter this virtual world of gods, and send and transmit information on it.

However, due to its freedom and openness, the information transmitted through the virtual world can easily be interfered with, blocked, or even distorted and falsified.

Therefore, key information between sects is transmitted through the monks of the Heavenly Palace.

However, apart from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, the Immortal Alliance, and the Wuji Star Palace, no other force in the world has established an all-round system of celestial palace cultivators. For a sect like the Jiuding Sect, even if it covers the entire sect and surrounding areas, there will be a vacuum period of information transmission, not to mention other areas far away from the sect.

The unique virtual world can perfectly solve this problem.

Practitioners can leave a part of their spiritual thoughts and consciousness in the virtual divine world, so that they can achieve the purpose of easy communication no matter how far apart they are.

Moreover, this kind of information cannot be interfered with, blocked, distorted or modified unless the virtual god world of one's own is breached.

The key is that once this virtual divine world is used to attack a certain place, it can directly form an information black domain in that area.

in other words……

It can completely destroy the sect’s communications and information, including telepathic transmission and tactical guidance.

In this era, once one's own information level is completely blocked and communication is reduced to a state where it basically relies on shouting, this battle...

That's basically it.

At this time, Bai Lu suddenly said, "In fact, the reason why the higher-ups haven't decided whether to let you rule His Highness Zheng Zhan's sword training academy, or let you concentrate on refining weapons, or... not disturb your practice, is because they don't know how to arrange for you."

She glanced at Yaoguang and said, "Your ability to command the souls and build your foundation is currently being promoted internally by the sect as a new type of formation, and is kept strictly confidential to the outside world. However, we, a very small number of soul-level cultivators, can still sense it. This kind of magic... is a bit similar to the virtual god realm."

Virtual God Realm.

Yaoguang thought about it for a moment.

This secret technique of the God King does have some meaning from the virtual world of gods.

"Currently, within our very small circle in the Nine Skies Region, there is a bold...even unrealistic guess."

Bai Lu looked at Yao Guang with full expectation, even with extravagant hope: "Perhaps... one day in the future, you can break the shackles with your Yuanshen and ascend to the Dharmakāya! Let our Jiuding Sect become the fourth sect in the Cangwu World to possess the Dharmakāya!"

"I try my best."

Yaoguang said.

Next, Bai Lu continued to introduce to Yaoguang the things to pay attention to when using the power of heavenly thunder to temper the spirit.

Although the information Yaoguang obtained from [Shinto] was more complete than what Bailu said, he still listened patiently.

three days later.

Yaoguang no longer wastes time.

The soul left the body, turned into a stream of light, and went straight up to the sky.

Bai Lu, Zhang Jianlin, and a few Yuanshen realm cultivators and Jiuxiao Realm high-ranking officials who learned that he was planning to transcend the tribulation all looked up.

In addition, two teams of sword cultivators led by Zhao He, the master of the Conquest Hall, followed him up and protected him from a distance to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

Of course, Yaoguang has to bear the process of tempering with heavenly thunder by himself.

Because for cultivators in the Yuanshen realm, this itself is a practice.

……

Once entering the Nine Heavens, the yin attribute of the soul quickly collided with the yang attribute of the outside world. Suddenly, the atmosphere was stirred, and winds and clouds surged above the sky.

The drastic change in the atmospheric environment caused the yin and yang forces inside to clash violently. In less than a minute...

"Boom!"

A blazing sun thunder streaked across the sky.

Pulled by the negative power of the soul, the thunder fell straight towards Yaoguang.
