Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 3 Proving the Dao as an Earth Immortal

Su Shao Chen named this pen "The Pen of Literary Path!"

It is ten inches long and was made by him using bronze, ginkgo tree (a mid-grade innate spiritual root), demon beast bones, and demon beast fur.

It gives people a sense of antiquity and was made by Su Shao Chen when he decided to pursue the path of literature.

Now, this pen already faintly exudes a Daoist charm that even Su Shao Chen himself cannot understand.

If Master Yunxiao were by his side, he would definitely recognize that the Daoist aura on this pen is exactly the same as the Daoist aura on Su Shao Chen that he cannot fathom!

The Wen Dao Brush is currently of a very low grade, not even reaching the level of a post-natal spiritual treasure. However, the Wen Dao Brush is of extraordinary significance to Su Shao Chen, as it embodies his initial aspirations for cultivating the Way of Literature and will also be his treasure for proving the Way in the future.

Su Shao Chen already had some plans regarding this treasure for proving his Dao. Although its current grade was still very low, he planned to refine it again every time he broke through a realm, until it became an extremely powerful acquired spiritual treasure.

After he attains the status of an Earth Immortal, he will re-refine the Writing Brush. If he has the opportunity to accumulate merit in the future, it is not impossible for him to refine it into a top-grade acquired merit treasure, or even a supreme acquired merit treasure.

The paper he made himself was also made by Su Shaochen using materials such as trees, and it contained the writing methods currently used by the human race.

After he transcends tribulation and becomes an immortal, Su Shao Chen plans to go to the human race to gain experience and observe the current situation of the human race before deciding how to pass on his teachings.

Whether to open a school to teach the script created by Cangjie of the human race, or to travel among the human race to create a new script, or to travel to various places among the human race to write a book... these are all under Su Shao Chen's consideration.

The prehistoric world is not currently flourishing in literature and art, so it's best to stick to the most basic things. As for deeper levels, they are neither suitable for the current human race nor for the prehistoric world...

Su Shao Chen comforted himself, "I can't rush it, I can't rush it..."

After putting away his writing brush, Su Shao Chen took out the Hunyuan Cover bestowed upon him by his master and began to refine the restrictions inside.

With just a little refining, Su Shao Chen learned the origin of this spiritual treasure: it was refined by the Tongtian Sect Master before he attained enlightenment.

This is a magical treasure obtained by collecting nine kinds of earth-elemental materials from the primordial wilderness and refining them over several years. It is a heavy magical treasure with extremely strong defensive capabilities.

Its defensive capabilities are comparable to top-grade acquired spiritual treasures. It can be used not only for defense but also to strike people, making it a spiritual treasure that combines offense and defense.

When Tongtian Jiaozhu established the Jie Sect and recruited many disciples, he bestowed this spiritual treasure upon his master, Yunxiao. Later, after his master broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he basically didn't use it anymore, and then it was given to him.

Moreover, when Su Shao Chen was refining the restriction, he also felt a surge of the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal from his master Yun Xiao, which helped him accelerate the refining of the restriction within the Hunyuan Cover.

The Hunyuan Cover has thirty-six restrictions, reaching the pinnacle of a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure, which made Su Shao Chen exclaim that his master was amazing!

Although he's the main character, he's also quite skilled in weapon crafting.

The restrictions on high-grade spiritual treasures, whether acquired or innate, generally consist of twenty-five to thirty-six restrictions.

A high-grade acquired spiritual treasure with thirty-six restrictions is the pinnacle of spiritual treasures and is extremely extraordinary.

Innate and acquired top-grade spiritual treasures typically have one to twelve restrictions.

Mid-grade spiritual treasures have thirteen to twenty-four restrictions, while high-grade spiritual treasures have twenty-five to thirty-six restrictions.

Top-grade innate spiritual treasures have thirty-seven to forty-eight restrictions, which are difficult for even ordinary top-grade acquired spiritual treasures to achieve.

As for innate treasures, they have forty-nine restrictions. Acquired spiritual treasures that can reach this level are extremely rare in the primordial world. Perhaps only Lao Tzu's Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Pagoda and the Primordial Measuring Ruler can achieve this level...

With the blessing of his master's power as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, Su Shao Chen was able to refine the Hunyuan Cover extremely quickly.

Sixty years have passed in the blink of an eye. With the help of his master, Su Shao Chen has refined twelve restrictions and has gained control of one-third of the spiritual treasure.

Master Yunxiao truly lived up to his reputation as a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal, a being just one step away from severing his corpse and attaining the Dao Quasi-Saint realm. When this magical power helped Su Shao Chen refine the restriction, it was at an incredibly rapid pace.

The magical power disappeared when his master helped him refine the twelfth restriction. Su Shao Chen stood up and bowed to the Three Immortals Palace, saying, "Thank you, Master!"

"Good." Yunxiao's voice also rang in Su Shaochen's ears.

While refining the Hunyuan Cover, he also gained some insights into the Great Dao inscribed on it, and his own realm became more and more perfect. Now he has reached the peak of the mortal realm. As long as he wants to transcend the tribulation and prove the Dao of the Earth Immortal, he can trigger the tribulation at any time...

But Su Shao Chen wasn't in such a hurry. Instead, he kept pushing his spiritual energy to its peak...

Then, Su Shao Chen spent another forty years re-examining his cultivation and techniques before opening his eyes.

Su Shao Chen looked up at the sky, set up several defensive formations he had learned from his master, and then took out the Hunyuan Cover and suspended it above his head.

Suddenly, a primordial light emanated from Su Shao Chen's head. After making all the preparations, Su Shao Chen released the aura of his perfected Return to Emptiness and Integration with the Dao.

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered over the place where Su Shao Chen was undergoing his tribulation, exuding a repressive and oppressive aura. Thunder rumbled from time to time, and the terrifying pressure of the heavenly tribulation drew the attention of all living beings on the Three Immortal Islands.

The Three Immortals' gaze pierced through the void, seeing Su Shao Chen standing within the defensive formation, his Hunyuan Shield above his head, looking up at the sky, his whole being calm and composed.

"Big sister, Shao Chen is finally going to undergo his immortal tribulation, a hundred years earlier than I expected." Bi Xiao said like a child who had won a bet.

"You, Shao Chen, have a solid foundation and are well-prepared. This time, transcending the Immortal Tribulation will naturally not be a problem," Qiong Xiao said with a smile.

"Let's go take a look," Yunxiao said.

The next moment, the figures of the Three Immortals vanished from the Three Immortals Palace and reappeared several miles away from Shao Chen's tribulation.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning, containing both endless destruction and vitality, struck down. Su Shao Chen met it head-on with the Hunyuan Shield above his head. Using the Hunyuan Shield for defense, Su Shao Chen also refined several bolts of lightning to temper his body.

Instead of bracing himself and charging headlong into the fray like some novel protagonists, Su Shao Chen wouldn't do that; after all, he preferred to play it safe...

Moreover, he did not practice any techniques for tempering the body and bones, so naturally he would not directly confront them.

Originally, he wanted to cultivate both internal and external skills, and the best choice would naturally be the Xuanmen Protector Divine Skill, "Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill".

However, to cultivate the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, one needs exceptional talent, and at the very least, one must reach the Celestial Immortal realm, because the first realm of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts requires the Celestial Immortal realm. He is not Yang Jian, nor is he the first person in the prehistoric world with the bloodline of a human god...

Therefore, Su Shao Chen was not qualified to cultivate for the time being. Then, several more bolts of lightning struck down. After Su Shao Chen refined the endless vitality in the lightning tribulation, he stopped when his body reached saturation and focused all his magic power on the Hunyuan Shield.

Several more heavenly tribulations struck down, and the lightning in the sky became more numerous and intense, as if it were brewing the most terrifying one!

This scene made Bixiao nervous for her beloved disciple. Although Su Shao Chen was well prepared, the three Xiao sisters, as his masters, were still paying close attention to his situation.

Mortals undergo the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation to become immortals, Golden Immortals undergo the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, and Great Luo Immortals undergo the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!

As the last bolt of lightning struck, all the defensive formations that Su Shao Chen had set up lit up, and the Hunyuan Shield above his head was also enhanced to its maximum by Su Shao Chen!

The main focus is on stability, leaving no room for error!

With a deafening roar, the last extremely powerful bolt of lightning struck down, seemingly transforming into a sea of ​​thunder that rushed straight toward Su Shao Chen.

"Boom!"

The lightning tribulation, like a thunder dragon, shattered all defensive formations with overwhelming force.

Su Shao Chen's mastery of formations was not yet sufficient to withstand such a powerful and offensive lightning tribulation, after all, formations were only a secondary skill he cultivated...

But he had the Hunyuan Shield, and countless thick, dark yellow lights shone, blocking all the lightning tribulation.

Su Shao Chen survived the tribulation of lightning!

The blessings of surviving the immortal tribulation also fell upon Su Shao Chen. Even the trees and flowers at the place where he underwent the tribulation benefited greatly, and the magic power in his body began to become magic power unique to immortals!

After successfully overcoming the tribulation, Su Shao Chen gained a deeper understanding of his own path. Therefore, after respectfully bowing in the direction of his master, Su Shao Chen returned to the Seven Curves Hall to continue his secluded cultivation.
