The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 280 Heavenly Evolution Star Array, Tribulation of the Thirty-Nine Heavens

The Taiping Sect's Small World.

Inside the fire chamber, the Qiankun Furnace vibrated.

The furnace lid flew up, and forty-nine star flags flew out, making the room sparkle with starlight. The nine celestial bodies, the twelve earthly branches, and the twenty-eight constellations of the heavens moved along mysterious trajectories, forming an array.

Xuanming called it the Heavenly Evolution Star Array.

The forty-nine Star Flags are all top-tier magical artifacts. Among them, the Nine Luminaries combination is a magical treasure, the Twelve Yuan Chen is a magical treasure, and the Twenty-Eight Constellations is another magical treasure.

When combined, they form a top-tier magic weapon.

The Heavenly Evolution Star Array is powerful enough to trap even a half-step Great Power.

However, it is still not enough to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation and the Tribulation of Great Powers. Although allies will not watch him get into trouble before the Underworld is built, preventing him from getting into trouble and allowing him to achieve enlightenment are two different things.

Blacksmith need its own hardware.

Xuanming was prepared for this.

On one hand, he planned to continue refining array flags, at least another set of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Star Flags, and also to imprint the thirty-six Heavenly Gang and seventy-two Earthly Fiend divine power imprints on them, to complete an even larger Heavenly Evolution Star Array.

On the other hand, he deeply studies the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Divine Powers. If he can't withstand the pressure, he will hide in the River of Time. Even powerful beings will have to go through a lot of trouble to find him.

In addition, he is also waiting for the Supreme Taoist to grow up.

Six years later, this mysterious being's cultivation will rise to the level of a half-step Great Power, and with the Tai Chi Diagram, he will be able to entangle an ordinary Great Power.

Furthermore, six years later, when the underworld is truly stable and he is blessed with the fortune of the netherworld, he will be more certain to break through his bottleneck.

With a wave of his sleeve, Xuanming put away the array flags, closed his eyes to regulate his breathing, and after recovering, continued to refine the treasure in the furnace.

One by one, the star stones were thrown in.

One by one, rare and precious materials were consumed.

The Xuanming Treasure Vault is shrinking day by day.

The world is in constant flux.

During Xuanming's seclusion, the mortal realm, the underworld, and the heavenly realm were all in turmoil.

The three great dynasties of the human world conquered cities and territories, and one dynasty after another was destroyed, leaving only the Dafeng Dynasty struggling to survive.

If it weren't for the secret assistance from the Taiping Sect, the Qiu royal family, and the demon race, they would probably have been wiped out long ago.

Even so, the situation is still precarious.

In the midst of war-torn years, a half-demon boy from the slums grows up. Constantly fleeing the chaos of war and living a nomadic life, a thoughtful look appears in his eyes:

Why fight wars?

When will the war end?

The Netherworld is also engaged in a fierce battle.

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and Antarctic Changsheng Dadi were in charge of the construction.

The Five Elders of the Five Directions, along with Emperor Gouchen and other powerful beings who had gathered at the top of the Three Flowers, were responsible for the attack.

The powerful beings in the mortal realm are responsible for restraining the powerful beings in the underworld.

From its initial construction to the present day, in just ten short years, the area of ​​the underworld has expanded tenfold, covering a million miles.

The Hall of Yama, the Judge's Court, the Bridge of Helplessness...

The great master craftsman of the Mohist school brought a large number of Mohist spirits, gods, and cultivators, and various ingenious buildings were completed. A large number of the dead souls were taken into the underworld, either to live in peace or to be judged.

Even Hai Fengming resigned from his official post and frequently appeared in the underworld, leading a group of Legalist cultivators to work day and night to formulate laws for the netherworld. For them, this was an unprecedented feat and an unprecedented achievement, as well as a practice of the Dharma.

If they can accomplish this, they will not only be remembered in history, but it will also mean that the law extends to the netherworld, and their merits will be immeasurable.

Both they and the Legalists will rise to an unprecedented height.

The powerful beings noticed this change. The powerful beings in the mortal realm were overjoyed, and even the other powerful beings who had been watching from the sidelines couldn't sit still and were eager to make a move. This was also true for the powerful beings of the three great divine dynasties.

In particular, the powerful Legalist behind the Great Xuan Divine Dynasty held a fatal attraction for the laws of the Netherworld. A thousand years ago, he supported his descendants in establishing the Great Xuan Divine Dynasty, ultimately for the sake of the Dao.

Even the powerful beings of the underworld disagreed.

The beings of the celestial realm were busy organizing their belongings and setting up formations in various places. Some celestial officials even left the celestial realm and went straight to the mortal world, carrying compasses to calculate and set up formations at designated locations.

The Taiping Sect's Small World.

The fire chamber and the Qiankun Furnace trembled.

One hundred and eight star flags were produced, their auras mingling and shining brightly.

Xuanming stroked his beard with satisfaction, smiled as he put away the Star Flag, extinguished the furnace, and got up to leave the Treasure Hall.

Back at Daohai Palace, Xuanming, fully clothed, fell asleep immediately, his breathing even and his breath flowing freely amidst the misty clouds.

Seven days and seven nights later, he woke up feeling refreshed. He enjoyed a delicious meal and drank a jar of spiritual wine before heading to the Taiping Dao Palace.

Inside the Dao Palace, Xuanming bowed in respect. The Drunken Great Power had returned several years ago, and the Netherworld was now overseen by the four Great Powers in rotation.

The gazes of the Taiping Dao Master and the three powerful figures all fell upon him. The Dao Master asked, "Young friend, are you ready?"

Xuanming: "Yes, I would like to ask for your help, seniors."

The Master of Taiping Dao nodded: "I have always kept my word, so you can rest assured."

Xuanming nodded.

He trusted the character of the leader of the Way of Peace.

After discussing the details, Xuanming left.

Two weeks later, dark clouds covered the sky.

Within a radius of 100,000 miles, thunder roared and lightning flashed, the oppressive force was immense, and the wind howled, as if it were the end of the world.

Many powerful beings were alarmed and used their supernatural abilities, such as magical treasures or water mirrors, to investigate the situation.

Ultimately, it fell on Xuanming.

"He is going to survive the tribulation."

"This day... has finally come."

"It's not about whether he can succeed."

"They must not be allowed to live!"

"After the robbery is over, seize the opportunity to kill them."

……

The reactions from the various groups were mixed.

Standing in the void, Xuanming gazed upon the thunderclouds.

The heavenly tribulation accumulated, its oppressive power grew heavier, and the surging thunder tore through the sky.

He felt the pressure.

But instead of being afraid, his gaze remained firm.

Once I get through this ordeal, I will never need to ask anything of others again, and I can live a carefree and unrestrained life.

We are one step closer to immortality.

This matter concerns the future, and he is prepared to face any challenges.

Boom!

Thunderbolts struck fiercely.

It was more terrifying than the Spirit Treasure Tribulation from the very beginning.

The Great Heavenly Tribulation combines the number three and nine.

For the first nine tribulations, Xuanming neither dodged nor avoided them, using his physical body to withstand the lightning tribulations and temper his physique. He appeared to be covered in blood and looked terrible, with even his white hair and beard stained red. In reality, it was just the discharge of foul blood, and his internal organs were unharmed.

On the tenth day, the Tai Chi diagram unfolded beneath his feet, and Xuanming stood on the Tai Chi Bridge, impervious to all laws and unharmed by thunder.

The ferocious electric snakes, the raging thunder dragons, and the rain of thunderballs were all returned to their original state by the power of Tai Chi. The ferocity was filtered out, leaving only pure energy, which was absorbed and refined by Xuanming. His primordial spirit, magical power, and physical body all rose steadily and gradually underwent a transformation.

During the nineteenth lightning tribulation, Xuanming did not use any formations. Instead, he waved his peach wood staff, and a towering peach tree stood on the Taiji diagram, swaying and growing amidst the lightning.

This is the peach wood staff that Tao Weng's primordial spirit entrusted to. It was only to increase the success rate. Now that Tao Weng has perished, the vacant fortune has been absorbed by Xuanming, and the peach wood staff has naturally become his possession.

As for how the Peach Blossom Clan would react, he didn't care. They had already attacked him; how could they be so merciful as to let them go?
This scene left many powerful figures slightly stunned.

Aside from the anger of Peach Elder's friend, the other powerful beings accepted it well. The peachwood staff is an acquired spiritual treasure, and having an extra spiritual treasure increases the probability of successfully transcending the tribulation.

Boom!

The thunder continued to fall.

This caused some of the powerful beings to look serious.

Xuanming sat cross-legged under the peach tree, absorbing the lightning weakened by both the peach wood staff and the Taiji diagram, turning it into his own resources.

The great power of heaven and earth changed color slightly.

Xuanming's aura is now comparable to that of an ordinary powerful being, but the tribulation is not over yet.

Could this rising star be comparable to a top-tier expert as soon as he enters the realm of great power?

Contemplating this possibility, some powerful figures prepared themselves, their killing intent surging: This path must not be spared!

Some powerful figures are also prepared to lend a helping hand.

Whether for the common good or for the sake of goodwill, they cannot stand idly by.
