The Long Journey to Immortality

Wang Han wanted to pass on his various skills to others so that the tradition would not be lost.

Even though there were no suitable disciples among the human race whom he valued, he had already left behind a book to record all his creations.

The divination lessons in the days leading up to the tribulation and the plan to teach the tribulation formation to others after the tribulation was successfully completed were all things he had decided on in advance, intended to pave the way for others.

For profound, complex, and obscure things like this, it's best to teach them by word of mouth and example.

Since there was no suitable successor among the human race, he decided to train a disciple from another race and pass on his knowledge to future generations.

Fang Lin's words resonated with many of the monsters under his command, especially those from several smaller clans.

Everyone naturally understood the unspoken meaning in Fang Lin's words, realizing that Wang Han intended to take on disciples.

They desperately hoped that they or the younger generation who came with them could have this good fortune, even if they only learned a little bit and were able to set up an array that would allow a Nascent Soul cultivator to undergo tribulation. That would be of great benefit to the race.

Han Lu was also overjoyed.

"Feng Jiao will definitely have a chance to benefit from this, which means I can also learn a move or two from her."

"No, we should leave this section for later. First, we should study array formations and other miscellaneous subjects outside to strengthen ourselves, and then we can seek guidance from Senior Wang Han."

Just as Han Lu was lost in thought, the tribulation clouds in the sky began to brew a second wave of attacks.

Within the black void surrounding the tribulation clouds, numerous mysterious black substances could be seen permeating into the tribulation clouds in a manner resembling infiltration.

Upon seeing this, Fang Lin's expression changed slightly, but that was all.

He had complete confidence in his "little brother," and was certain that no matter how many heavenly tribulations descended or how powerful they were, they would not be able to harm Wang Han in the slightest.

These mysterious black substances merged into the calamity clouds, acting as a catalyst to harmonize the five elements.

The next wave of thunder, accompanied by deafening roars, was different from any of the previous thunderbolts.

Three jet-black bolts of lightning fell from the sky, their five elements attributes completely indistinguishable. However, the deep black color, combined with the image of the lightning, made the onlookers feel an invisible pressure, instilling fear in their hearts.

As an "outsider" to this matter, Han Lu was not swayed by the lightning and was still able to see and hear everything around her.

At that moment, Fengyang murmured, "Strange, strange," clearly having made a discovery.

They probably recognized the origin of the lightning and thought it was strange that it would appear at this time.

With nowhere to find the answer, Han Lu could only turn her attention back to Wang Han, who was dressed in "red" under the clouds of tribulation.

This time, the Heavenly Tribulation is ominous, and it won't be so easy to deal with it using the surrounding formations.

In order to preserve their strength and prepare for the tribulation lightning that will follow.

Wang Han spent less than half a breath thinking quickly, selecting from the various methods he had prepared to deal with the lightning tribulation, and finally took out an umbrella-shaped magic weapon. He believed that this magic weapon was most suitable for this moment.

Upon seeing the red umbrella in Wang Han's hand, Han Lu couldn't help but call out the name of this familiar umbrella-shaped magical artifact.

"The Carefree Umbrella? So it's a top-grade spiritual treasure," Han Lu recalled the scene when she took the treasure out of the ancient cultivation secret realm and it eventually passed back to several sect cultivators to help the Golden Core cultivator of the Zhengyi Sect overcome his tribulation. "Could it be that this treasure was damaged at that time and finally fell to the quality of a spiritual weapon?"

This conjecture was quickly confirmed.

Wang Han successfully blocked the three bolts of black lightning that descended from the sky using his Free and Easy Umbrella.

After the initial violence was blocked by the lightning rolling down the umbrella, it was completely neutralized by Wang Han's gentle methods.

Wang Han performed a set of Tai Chi movements with fluid grace, and the three strange bolts of lightning were subdued by him in just ten breaths.

But the tribulation clouds in the sky showed no sign of ending there.

Keep up the good work, this time it's the seventh time.

Feeling the pressure descending from the sky, this time, Wang Han called on the Nascent Soul cultivators who had been watching the show to lend a helping hand.

A small, exquisite suit of armor suddenly appeared on the surface of the nascent soul's body, making it look more like a capable warrior.

Wang Han and the Nascent Soul cultivator skillfully wielded the magical treasure, the Free and Easy Umbrella.

Although they were one entity, under Wang Han's control, they exhibited an effect greater than the sum of their parts.

Even though it was greater than one, and with the Free and Easy Umbrella that could restrain the lightning tribulation, Wang Han was still caught off guard by this strange black lightning tribulation.

In the blink of an eye, by the time Han Lu reacted, the carefree umbrella in Wang Han's hand had already fallen to the ground, its surface blackened and mostly damaged.

Wang Han himself only looked slightly disheveled, but on the surface he was unharmed. It was obvious that he had used other means to dissolve all the heavenly lightning that the Xiaoyao Umbrella had failed to block.

Seeing this, Han Lu shook her head slightly, thinking to herself, "My cultivation level is still too low. My thinking speed, spellcasting speed, and magic weapon speed are far inferior to those of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Therefore, I can only get a general idea of ​​what is happening here, just the beginning and end of a round. I can't see everything that happens during the moment when the weapons clash."

"I just hope that when I listen to Senior Wang Han's sermon later, I won't be as disorganized as I am now."

Thinking of this, Han Lu glanced out of the corner of her eye at Feng Jiao, whose cultivation level she had "caught up" with.

Seeing a hint of confusion on the other person's face, he simply changed to a more relaxed stance, shifted his mindset, and continued to watch the ceremony purely with the intention of watching the excitement and gaining knowledge.

Shifting her mindset, Han Lu's subsequent thoughts were more about marveling at the immense power of the heavenly tribulation and the extraordinary abilities of Senior Wang Han, rather than engaging in further contemplation as before.

Therefore, Han Lu felt that time was flying by.

As Wang Han used more than ten methods to overcome the tribulation, the tribulation only slightly injured him before it was about to end.

The final bolt of lightning, the fifty-sixth bolt, was multicolored, clearly a mixture of several elements.

Unfortunately, Wang Han had already noticed that the tribulation clouds in the sky had begun to dissipate after triggering the heavenly lightning, so he used all his remaining methods.

The two magical artifacts, combined with the final power of the formation, unleash their full potential.

In the end, Wang Han casually flicked his hand, dispersing the heavenly lightning that had lost 99% of its power, thus declaring that he had successfully passed the tribulation.

The storm clouds dispersed, and the sky instantly returned to its usual colors.

Fang Lin, Fu Ding, and Feng Yang, three experts, immediately took action to collect the residual essence of the lightning tribulation and steal a trace of the heavenly tribulation's aura.

The extraterrestrial demons, who were lurking near the tribulation clouds, found no opening and could only retreat hastily.

As applause erupted from the viewing platform, the dissipating clouds in the sky revealed the true nature of their core.

A shiny sphere.

The sphere shone brightly, and two beams of light descended, shining on Wang Han and his nascent soul.

The celestial tribulation lightning still present in the air was collected by the two pillars of light and gently injected into the bodies of the person and the infant, helping them to overcome the calm.

Wang Han and Yuan Ying sat back-to-back in the middle of the valley, smiling as they basked in the divine opportunity.

Seeing this, Han Lu quickly perked up and prepared herself, waiting for Senior Wang Han to complete his final breakthrough at any time. She would then share the heavenly secrets she had comprehended during this breakthrough and preside over the Daoist Assembly.

Chapter 796 Daoist Assembly

As Wang Han sat cross-legged in the center of the valley, bathing in the Dao of Heaven, he comprehended and completed the final step of his advancement.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators present also began to display their skills, attempting to steal a portion of the Heavenly Tribulation's aura from the still lingering Heavenly Tribulation lightning in the air.

Heavenly Tribulation Breath is a top-tier refining material. If you want the magic weapon you are refining to have supernatural attributes that are effective against lightning magic and can counter heavenly tribulations, you need to add a portion of it during the refining process to have a chance of achieving this.

Because only cultivators at the Nascent Soul or Nascent Soul stage possess the ability to steal the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation after the tribulation of the Nascent Soul or Nascent Soul stage, this material, which is not particularly precious, has become extremely rare. Even the human race, which was the first to discover the use of this material, only possessed a few copies, and they had all been refined into magical treasures.

The magical artifacts used to resist heavenly tribulations are extremely vulnerable to damage.

Naturally, Fang Lin and Fu Ding would not miss such a good opportunity. They even promised benefits in advance and invited Feng Yang to help them, trying to obtain more Heavenly Tribulation Essence to refine into Tribulation-Crossing Magic Treasures, so as to increase the success rate of younger cultivators in crossing tribulations.

The three cultivators each used their divine sense to capture the remaining aura of the heavenly tribulation in the air, and used their spiritual power to try their best to capture and collect this aura, and finally form it.

Visible to the naked eye, countless pale pink threads appeared out of thin air, gathering from all directions in the air as if the three Nascent Soul Realm experts had formed a ball of yarn.

In just a short while, the "pink ball of yarn" the size of a fist was gathered together in the hands of the three people.

Thus, it can be said that a great harvest was achieved.

It was only because it was a tribulation of the Nascent Soul Realm that it went so smoothly. If it were just an ordinary Golden Core cultivator undergoing the tribulation of becoming a Core Formation cultivator or advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm, even a master like Fang Han would only have a 10% chance of stealing a portion of the "tribulation energy" from the environment after the tribulation.

Back on the viewing platform, the three gathered the pink aura of heavenly tribulation in their hands into the talisman cauldron, which he carefully stored away.

Many magical beasts and true spirits around them turned their heads and looked at this rare and precious thing with curiosity.

Fu Ding said in the river channel, "This time the harvest was quite good. Fellow Daoist Wang Han not only survived the Heavenly Tribulation and advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, but the three of us also successfully collected three portions of Heavenly Tribulation Breath."

"If all goes well, these three portions of Heavenly Tribulation Breath should be able to be made into three Tribulation-Crossing Magic Treasures, or to refine three batches of Tribulation-Avoiding Pills."

At this point, Fu Ding hurriedly took out a medicine bottle from his storage bag and handed it to Feng Yang, "Fellow Daoist Feng Yang, this is the agreed reward: five Tribulation Avoidance Pills. Each pill can postpone the Heavenly Tribulation of the Nascent Soul Realm for a full ten years."

"However, please note that even if you are a true spirit, you can only take three pills of this medicine. If you take too many, it will hinder your cultivation and affect the circulation of spiritual energy."

Feng Yang didn't thank him, but accepted the pill in front of everyone, saying, "I will keep Fellow Daoist Fu Ding's words in mind."

The three were in good spirits and, upon reseating, acted as if no one was around, engaging in pleasant conversation that broke the tranquility that had been extinguished by the thunder.

"Gentlemen, how long do you think it will take for Fellow Daoist Wang Han to break through and advance to the Nascent Soul stage?" Fu Ding was the first to ask the question.

Fang Lin recalled his own experience and said, "Back then, I sat for three whole days before I came to my senses. I suppose Fellow Daoist Wang Han's understanding of the principles of heaven and earth is far superior to mine. He should only need one and a half or two days to advance smoothly."

Upon hearing this, Han Lu realized that the Daoist Assembly was still at least one or two days away from its actual start.

So, after listening for a while, and seeing that the three big shots were just chatting and laughing, he decisively made a hand seal to speed up the flow of time in the secret realm.

As she sped up, she kept a close eye on Wang Han's situation.

Whenever Wang Han made any unusual movements, she would temporarily restore the flow of time to normal so as not to miss the show she had been looking forward to for so long.

Han Lu could fast forward, but the cultivators who were on-site at the Daoist Assembly could only wait patiently.

In particular, most of the Foundation Establishment stage human cultivators who did not take their seats on the viewing platform chose to meditate with their eyes half-closed, not daring to enter a deep meditation, just like Han Lu, for fear of missing out on the incredible opportunity that had come their way.

The sun, which temporarily withdrew during the celestial tribulation, became one of the objects of everyone's attention.

Having witnessed the sun and moon alternate twice, it wasn't until near noon on the third day that the "small sun" born from the celestial tribulation in the sky vanished into nothingness.

Seeing this, a Nascent Soul Realm True Spirit sitting next to Feng Jiao was excited and muttered in a low voice, "It's done, it's about to begin."

Noticing this immediately, Han Lu quickly slowed down, her gaze fixed on Wang Han.

As the warm light shining on them disappeared, the Nascent Soul cultivator who was sitting with his back to Wang Han began to change.

His previously ethereal body became much more solid. He used to have only vivid expressions and a little self-awareness, but now, when he opened his eyes, there was a human-like gleam in them, as if a five or six-year-old child had grown into a teenager in an instant.

Having completed this series of changes, the nascent soul naturally returned to Wang Han's body.

With his nascent soul returning to his body, Wang Han finally awoke from his meditative state of comprehending the Dao.

Upon opening her eyes, even Han Lu could feel a pressure as if it were coming from three miles away, penetrating directly into her sea of ​​consciousness.

Clearly, Wang Han had entered a profound and mysterious state at this moment.

A moment later, Wang Han's voice rang out softly, reaching the ears of every cultivator present.
