Chapter 276 The Method of Crossing Tribulation

The fifteen dragon forms evolved the vast and boundless true meaning of the mountain and sea dragon path. Thousands of dragon veins began to evolve and spread continuously with the nine-faced azure dragon as the center. In just an instant, an endless golden land appeared around Taiwei, with dragon veins undulating, graceful and agile, fish leaping and kites flying, and the mystery of twists and turns.

At the same time, the nine-headed celestial serpent will also evolve into countless rivers and lakes. The dragon vein and the turbid air are yin and yang to each other. The nine-faced azure dragon evolves the earth, and the nine-headed dragon serpent evolves into rivers. The mountains rise and fall on the earth, and the vast rivers and lakes surge and flow between the earth and the mountains.

Mountains and rivers depend on each other, combining strength and gentleness. The nine-faced azure dragon and the nine-headed dragon-snake merge into one, perfectly embodying the true meaning of the Yin-Yang Great Dao. The nine-headed dragon-snake roars to the sky, its broad wings spread, and the three great Dao true meanings of Yin-Yang, dragon vein, and Xuan Yin intertwine, thus interpreting the true meaning of the Great Dao of Taiwei itself.

Purple lotus, golden lotus, blue lotus, five-colored lotus flowers, four lotus flowers representing the Xuanmen Dao intertwined their energy, and a blue lotus flower, carrying the three thousand Daos and expounding the mysteries of the Xuanmen Dao, appeared, vast and boundless, magnificent and endless.

This blue lotus represents the true foundation of the Xuanmen Immortal Path. Just looking at this blue lotus, Taiwei felt endless profound meanings of the Xuanmen Great Dao, including some top-level inheritances that lead directly to the Great Luo Dao Lord.

Countless purple and blue immortal lights surged in Taiwei's eyes, merging all the profound truths of the Great Dao into the Boundless Balanced Heaven, nourishing itself with the rosy clouds and dew, consuming the essence of heaven and earth, transcending all things, and becoming one with nature...

Looking at the three Xuanmen Celestial Venerables and four Ancient Immortals opposite him, Taiwei didn't know why these people wanted to demonstrate these profound Xuanmen traditions to him. Favors are the hardest to repay, so Taiwei didn't plan to hold back.

Taiwei's own Mountain and Sea Dragon Dao, along with the many inheritances and profound meanings of the Great Dao obtained from the Heavenly Serpent Clan, were successively manifested, revealing myriad phenomena.

The nine-faced dragon-serpent's body was covered in countless shimmering scales, each scale bearing the inscription of a lineage from the Heavenly Serpent Clan. The heads of the nine dragon-serpents revealed Taiwei's own Mountain and Sea Dragon Dao.

Of course, the true foundation of the Great Dao, Taiwei, has not yet revealed it. The Mountain and Sea Dragon Dao that Taiwei has revealed is only some branches and divine methods within this Great Dao. Taiwei could not possibly tell others how to truly control and evolve the dragon veins.

As Yuanshi Tianzun and the others sensed the vast Dao principles revealed by Taiwei, a sense of shock arose in their hearts.

These few individuals are the leaders of the Xuanmen (mysterious sect), and they have gathered the insights and cultivation achievements of countless cultivators in the entire Xuanmen Immortal Path to evolve such a vast and profound Xuanmen Great Dao True Meaning.

However, Taiwei had no power under his command and had even undergone a tribulation, yet he still possessed such a vast and profound Dao inheritance. Such a foundation made Yuanshi Tianzun's mind tremble. Even after undergoing a tribulation, the former Qingtian Daozhu was still the most powerful being in the primordial world.

The Daoist chants flowed like the sound of running water, and the celestial music played like the harmonious sounds of bells and zithers. In the Kunlun Dao Palace, Taiwei and the others were surrounded by surging energy. The lowest cultivation level among those present was the late stage of the Taiyi realm. Such cultivation would make them top-tier beings in any faction.

This discussion greatly benefited everyone present. Many of the Dao principles in the Boundless Heaven all grew simultaneously, and the cultivation and Dao practice of Yuanshi Tianzun and others also made significant progress.

A thousand years later, the Daoist chants echoing on Kunlun Mountain gradually subsided. Inside the Dao Palace, the four ancient immortals who were the first to awaken watched as Taiwei and Yuanshi Tianzun, who were still immersed in the Daoist rhythm, silently left the Kunlun Dao Palace. The following matters no longer required their participation.

After Guang Chengzi and the other three left, Taiwei, Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun all opened their eyes. Kunlun Dao Palace trembled slightly. The aura revealed by the four top-level Yuanshi True Saints at that moment was so powerful that even this Dao Palace, which was protected by a top-level array, could not withstand it.

Taiwei concealed his aura, looked at Yuanshi Tianzun opposite him, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The main reason I came to Kunlun Dao Palace this time is to ask a few fellow Daoists for an answer to a matter."

The brilliant dragon vein power and the dark yin energy intertwined around Taiwei, and a majestic aura that transcended all time and space burst forth from Taiwei. Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun all changed their expressions as they felt the aura on Taiwei's body.

They had witnessed such a grand and unfathomable aura before. At the beginning of the Second Era, they had already begun to try to advance to the Great Luo Dao Lord realm. Unfortunately, the three of them also chose to give up the moment they witnessed the tribulations of all beings.

Such a calamity had exceeded their expectations. Without thorough preparation, no top-tier Primordial True Saint in the Great Primordial World could possibly survive such a terrifying calamity.

Taiwei is now showing signs of transcendence. He has obviously tried to advance to the Great Luo Dao Lord, but he has failed.

"Has the Dao Lord come to discuss with us how to overcome the tribulations of all beings?"

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Taiwei, who had once again concealed his aura, and said with a furrowed brow.

Whoever among these top Primordial True Saints is the first to advance to the Great Luo Dao Lord will become the number one person in the Primordial World and lead their own forces to become the rulers of the Primordial World.

The most important trump card for these top-level Primordial True Saints is how to advance to the Great Luo Dao Lord and overcome the tribulations of all beings. It is incomprehensible to Primordial Heavenly Venerable that Taiwei would so rashly come to ask for the hard-earned research results of others. Taiwei should not be so reckless as to offend the Xuanmen Immortal Path.

"Fellow Daoists, please don't misunderstand. I'm not asking for your research success for nothing. In fact, I've also come up with a way to deal with the Tribulations of All Self."

"I am here to exchange ideas with you three fellow Daoists. You three have demonstrated the methods of the Xuanmen Immortal Dao to deal with the tribulations of the self. I will also demonstrate my prepared method of transcending tribulations to you three fellow Daoists."

Taiwei looked at the three Xuanmen Heavenly Venerables opposite him and decided to take the lead in demonstrating the method he used to deal with the tribulations of all beings. If he did not show his sincerity, the three Yuanshi Heavenly Venerables would not be able to reveal their trump cards.

A wisp of transcendent energy emanated from Taiwei's body, and twisting and changing spacetime vortexes appeared around Taiwei, while silvery-white flames covered Kunlun Dao Palace.

As the world shifted, a vast, silvery-white world enveloped Taiwei and his companions. Taiwei stood up, and the Taiyin Heavenly Blade appeared in his palm.

The Heavenly Blade was drawn, its extreme chill piercing through a spacetime vortex that kept appearing around Taiwei. The chaotic spacetime power transformed into a long rainbow that connected to Taiwei's body.

A vast and boundless demonic light appeared, and from within the shattered vortex of spacetime, a tall man clad in jet-black armor, a demon helmet, and pale bone blades protruding from between his fingertips appeared in a silvery-white world.

The slightly different aura emanating from the black-armored man compared to the primordial world caused the three Celestial Venerables of the Primordial Beginning to change their expressions simultaneously. The three Celestial Venerables of the Profound Gate looked at the man covered in black armor, and at the constantly rotating and evolving aura of time and space around him, which also had a hint of illusion, and a thoughtful expression appeared on their faces.

"It is simple and straightforward, but not rudimentary. Compared to our method, Taiwei's idea is easy to implement and can even be spread on a large scale. However, this method will probably take a very long time. Its advantages and disadvantages are both obvious."

"Moreover, besides dealing with the tribulations of the self, this method is also of great benefit to our cultivation. By killing one other self, we can obtain the cultivation insights of that person's entire life. Once such a cultivation method spreads, the number of innate true saints in the primordial world may increase dramatically."

Tai Shang looked at the black-armored man opposite Tai Wei with his half-open eyes, and uttered a muttering sound.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun nodded. Although Taishang Tianzun usually spoke up, the fact that Taiwei's method could be prompted to speak already demonstrated its feasibility.

"In that case, this deal might actually be worthwhile. Although our transcendence method is faster than Taiwei's method, it is too difficult. If we use both methods simultaneously, it might greatly accelerate our speed of eliminating our other selves."

Lingbao Tianzun spoke, his tone indicating that he had already agreed to exchange with Taiwei for a way to weaken the Tribulations of All Self. Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a moment and also nodded.

On Taiwei's side, the man in black armor was one of Taiwei's billions of other selves. The method Taiwei researched to weaken the tribulations of the various selves was called the "True Self Method," which was to use a trace of transcendent energy on his body to continuously guide other selves from other time and space fragments into the primordial world and kill them one by one.

As long as Taiwei can kill all the other selves, then the Tribulation of All Selves will be nothing to Taiwei. Moreover, with Taiwei's cultivation foundation and the Supreme Treasure of the Void in his hands, as long as the billions of other selves in those time fragments appear one by one, they will definitely not be a match for Taiwei.

This is the method that Taiwei came up with to deal with the Tribulations of All Selfs. Just as the Supreme Heavenly Venerable said, Taiwei's True Self Method is extremely low in danger. Even ordinary Taiyi Realm experts can cultivate it at will. However, using this method to advance to the Great Luo Daojun would probably require an extremely long time.

At the very least, even Taiwei couldn't predict how long it would take to kill all the other selves. However, aside from dealing with the tribulations of the self, Taiwei's True Self Method was also an extremely sophisticated cultivation method.

All cultivators who have just advanced to the Taiyi realm can go to face the Tribulations of All Beings in order to obtain a trace of the Super Breathing Machine.

With this wisp of transcendent energy, these Taiyi realm cultivators can continuously slay and refine the foundation of their own understanding to improve their cultivation level. Compared to dealing with the tribulations of the self, the True Self Method of Taiwei is more suitable for Taiyi realm experts to improve their cultivation level.
