He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 499 The Heavenly Tribulation Arrives (First Update)

"The heavenly tribulation is perilous. I hope you will be careful, junior brother, and successfully overcome it to become an immortal!"

Although he couldn't understand how he had attained enlightenment to the point of needing to undergo tribulation, Dan Chenzi immediately flew out of the tribulation's range and sincerely offered his blessings.

Transcending tribulation to become an immortal is no easy feat; even he himself faced immense difficulties in his journey back then.

Many cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul and Nascent Soul realms would rather suppress their cultivation level than easily attempt to undergo tribulation unless they were fully prepared.

Because if you don't cross over, you can live for a long time, but if you can't cross over, you will truly die and your spiritual essence will vanish.

Li Chuan suddenly attained enlightenment and jumped directly from the Golden Core Realm to the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm. He was completely unprepared for the tribulation and was genuinely worried that Li Chuan would fail.

At the same time, the cultivators of Mount Emei were also attracted by the tribulation clouds that suddenly appeared in Panluo Valley.

Transcending tribulation to become an immortal is a situation that may not occur even once every few hundred years.

Apart from a few disciples who stayed behind to guard the gates of Mount Emei, most of the Emei sword cultivators flew over here on their swords.

Leading the group was none other than the Kunlun Xuantian Sect, which was currently acting as the sect leader.

"It's Junior Brother Qingfeng undergoing his tribulation!"

Upon seeing Li Chuan, who had flown into the air and stood with his hands behind his back under the tribulation clouds, all the Emei sword cultivators exclaimed in surprise.

"Dan Chenzi, what's going on?"

Xuan Tianzong, along with Li Yingqi, Lian Xing, Duan Lei, and others, flew to Dan Chenzi's side and asked in confusion.

Dan Chenzi recounted how Li Chuan had a sudden enlightenment and broke through from the Golden Core stage to the peak of the Primordial Spirit stage. Everyone who listened looked at each other in disbelief.

This was the first time they had ever heard of such a thing.

In the end, one can only sigh that, as expected, someone at the Golden Core stage is comparable to an Earth Immortal and can even injure the Netherworld Blood Demon.

Even their cultivation advancement is different from that of ordinary cultivators.

"But wouldn't that be a bit too rushed?"

A hint of worry appeared on Li Yingqi's face.

Everyone knows how dangerous it is to undergo tribulation.

Xuan Tianzong looked up at Li Chuan in the air and said solemnly:

"It's a bit rushed, but now that it's started, he can only rely on himself."

In this world, one absolutely cannot seek help from others to transcend tribulations and become an Earth Immortal.

If you dare to help a cultivator who is undergoing tribulation, or try to launch a sneak attack while someone is undergoing tribulation, then a second heavenly tribulation will immediately come for you.

Moreover, this second tribulation is not the first tribulation of a testing nature, but a tribulation of a purely punitive nature separated by the Heavenly Dao.

It's like being struck dead by lightning; they won't stop until you're completely destroyed.

Even if your strength has reached the point where you can ascend to the upper realm at any time, you will find it difficult to withstand the continuous attacks of such a powerful heavenly tribulation for several months.

There is a record in the cultivation world that a cultivator who was about to ascend to immortality, relying on his profound cultivation, wanted to help his sect's disciples overcome their heavenly tribulation. As a result, he was chased and struck by the heavenly tribulation for a whole year and was worn down to death.

Therefore, if you encounter someone undergoing tribulation, never get close; just observe from the outside.

"Although Junior Brother Qingfeng's breakthrough was somewhat rushed, his strength far surpasses that of others in the same realm. I'm sure that even if there are some dangers, he will still be able to get through them safely in the end. You don't need to worry too much."

Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Dan Chenzi offered a word of comfort.

"Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the tribulation clouds had fully formed, emitting bursts of thunder, and were about to unleash the first bolt of heavenly lightning.

"Why didn't Junior Brother Qingfeng use his magic or send out his magical treasures to defend himself!"

Suddenly, everyone gasped in surprise.

As the lightning was about to strike, Li Chuan simply floated in the air, showing no sign of resisting.

"Could it be that they want to cleanse their physical body?"

Xuan Tianzong instantly guessed Li Chuan's intention.

"To cleanse the physical body?"

At this moment, the Seven Sons of the Clouds who flew over looked puzzled.

Dan Chenzi, from the Earthly Immortal Realm, explained:

"As you all should know, the Heavenly Tribulation is divided into two parts."

The first part is the tribulation of lightning, which consists of nine levels, each more powerful than the last. Those who cannot overcome it will die and their souls will perish.

The second part is the tribulation of inner demons. At that time, extraterrestrial demons will invade the sea of ​​consciousness and disturb the primordial spirit. If one cannot overcome this, both the primordial spirit and the soul will be destroyed, resulting in death and the dissipation of one's cultivation.

"Senior Brother, we know all of this."

Shangguan Qian, the seventh of the Seven Sons of the Clouds, looked noticeably more anxious than the others.

Seeing this, Dan Chenzi shook his head and continued to explain:

"When we cultivators undergo tribulation, we usually set up defensive formations in advance and then deploy our magic weapons to block or disperse the tribulation as much as possible."

Each time we survive a tribulation of lightning, the Heavenly Dao will generate celestial energy afterward, strengthening our physical bodies and increasing our cultivation.

However, this does not actually maximize the benefits of transcending tribulation.

If we can give up using formations and magic weapons to resist and rely solely on our physical bodies to withstand the heavenly tribulation, then the purple lightning unleashed by the tribulation can refine our physical bodies, making them even stronger.

However, we cultivators are not demonic beasts, so we don't care how strong our physical bodies need to be. Something that's good enough is fine. Our greatest strength lies in our magical treasures.

Moreover, it is already extremely difficult to withstand the attack of the Nine Heavens Tribulation with one's utmost strength, so who would really seek death by using their physical body to withstand it?

Even when demonic beasts undergo tribulation, they first use their inner core to resist the heavenly tribulation. Only when the inner core can no longer withstand it will they reveal their true form to resist it.

Therefore, many people today are unaware that the tribulation lightning of heavenly tribulation has the effect of cleansing and refining the physical body.

When Junior Brother Qingfeng asked me about the details of the tribulation before, I mentioned it to him again. At that time, I could see that he was very interested and asked a lot of related questions.

I think he's currently trying to withstand the heavenly tribulation in order to cleanse his physical body to the greatest extent possible.

"This is too dangerous! I've never heard of anyone being able to withstand a heavenly tribulation with their bare body!"

Everyone was astonished upon hearing this. To withstand a terrifying heavenly tribulation with one's own body was simply insane.

Xuan Tianzong raised his hand upon seeing this:

"Junior Brother Qingfeng is not a reckless person. His physical body is far superior to that of ordinary cultivators. If he really feels that he can't withstand it, he will definitely use magic treasures and spells to resist."

At this moment, everyone remembered that Li Chuan did indeed possess a terrifying physical body comparable to that of a demonic beast.

"boom!"

Just then, the first bolt of heavenly lightning finally struck down from the tribulation clouds.

This first tribulation lightning was different from ordinary lightning; it was purple and only as thick as a chopstick.

However, don't underestimate its power just because it's only as thick as a chopstick. Even if it's not aimed at you, the Emei cultivators around you can feel the terrifying aura it exudes.

If this purple lightning were to strike them, aside from those above the Nascent Soul stage like Li Yingqi, it would likely wipe out the rest in one fell swoop.

"bring it on!"

At this moment, Li Chuan, who was floating in the air, saw the purple lightning striking his brow and let out an excited roar.

Indeed, just as Dan Chenzi said, he wanted to take advantage of this tribulation to properly cleanse his physical body.
