A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

It grew stronger and stronger, becoming unafraid of ordinary talismans and peach wood swords; only sunlight and lightning could still harm it.

It absorbed the moonlight and gradually developed intelligence, though it was still very vague, it was already able to think.

It remembers who it was in life, how it died, and its enemies.

It went to seek revenge on its enemy and slaughtered the entire family of its enemy.

That night, dark clouds filled the sky, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

It stood in the enemy's courtyard, looking up at the sky and howling, venting its resentment.

Then, a bolt of lightning struck down.

It was cleaved open, its skin torn and its body charred black, but it didn't die.

The supreme yang and yang power contained within the heavenly thunder clashes fiercely with the supreme yin and yang power within its body.

It howled in pain and rolled on the ground.

But gradually, the two forces began to merge, and its body underwent a transformation.

The charred skin peeled off, revealing golden skin underneath.

It stood up, its body covered in golden fur, its eyes glowing red, and its aura surging.

It felt no longer afraid of the sun; the sunlight felt warm and comfortable on its body.

Stepping out of the yard and standing in the sunlight, it looked up at the sky and let out a long howl.

But the next moment, even more lightning struck down.

One, two, three...

Having withstood three bolts of heavenly lightning, it was enveloped in lightning, its aura terrifying to the extreme.

It is no longer an ordinary zombie, but a bronze-armored zombie, and further still, a flying zombie.

Just as it was about to evolve into a flying zombie, the Heavenly Dao was enraged and unleashed a final bolt of heavenly lightning.

That bolt of lightning was a deep purple-black, as thick as a mountain, and carried an aura of annihilation.

It was struck, its body shattered into pieces, and its consciousness gradually faded.

In its final moments, it saw the Way of Heaven.

It was a boundless net that enveloped the entire world, and all living things were within it, including it.

It thought it had escaped the cycle of reincarnation, but it turned out it was still trapped in the net.

"The cycle of Heaven... defying Heaven... is difficult..."

Lin Xiu murmured, his consciousness completely fading away.

......

Suddenly opening his eyes, Lin Xiu found himself still standing on the top of the desolate mountain, but it was already close to dusk.

"The cycle of the six realms of reincarnation is a link in the operation of the universe."

"But the workings of heaven and earth extend beyond the six realms."

"There are those who obey Heaven, and there are those who defy Heaven; there is obedience within obedience, and obedience within defy."

"My Lesser Six Paths Reincarnation Fist only simulates the Six Paths that follow the will of Heaven, lacking the part that defies the will of Heaven."

"Currently... it is being continuously supplemented."

Lin Xiu raised his eyes, and in his eyes seemed to be the illusory image of the Six Paths of Reincarnation rotating.

Beyond the Six Paths, there exists a dark shadow that rises and falls, both opposing the Six Paths and subtly forming a larger whole.

The next second, Lin Xiu stood up, his mind stirred slightly, and he casually threw a punch into the void, and a fist intent that could sweep across the heavens flowed naturally.

There was no surging divine power, no booming of qi and blood.

But... wherever the fist passed, space seemed to be stripped away and reassembled by an invisible force. Birth, old age, sickness, death, separation from loved ones, encountering those one hates, not getting what one desires, the burning of the five aggregates... all kinds of suffering of living beings, the scenes of reincarnation, clearly emerged.

At the edge of that cycle of reincarnation, wisps of dark energy lingered, as if those who had broken free from reincarnation were silently roaring against it, or as if reincarnation itself was evolving and transcending on its own.

Although Lin Xiu's Lesser Six Paths Reincarnation Fist still has flaws in the construction of the Lesser Six Paths Reincarnation, ... its fist intent is already perfect!

"Buzz!"

Just as the fist intent reached its full potential, Lin Xiu's aura suddenly changed!

Lin Xiu's five great secret realms within his body—the Sea of ​​Wheels, the Dao Palace, the Four Extremes, the Dragon Transformation, and the Immortal Platform—simultaneously resonated with the Great Dao!

A profound and mysterious Dao realm, transcending the eight forbidden realms, enveloped Lin Xiu.

Forbidden by God!

The moment he entered the divine forbidden zone, Lin Xiu felt his consciousness rise infinitely, as if he had broken free from the constraints of his physical body and soared high above the heavens.

He "saw" it.

They saw countless laws of the universe falling like stars, interwoven into a net, each law clearly visible with distinct patterns.

They saw their own five secret realms—the Sea of ​​Wheels, the Palace of Dao, the Four Extremes, the Dragon Transformation Realm, and the Immortal Platform—each radiating immortal divine light, resonating with each other, and forming a perfect whole.

He saw that all the cultivation techniques and secret arts he had practiced—the Azure Emperor Scripture, the Void Scripture, the Eternal Universe Scripture, the Heavenly Pivot Emperor Scripture, the Lesser Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, the Golden Taiji Circle, the Azure Lotus Opening Heaven Diagram—were all integrated and mastered at this moment.

A flood of insights came to mind, and the obscure points in my past practice suddenly became clear.

Lin Xiu felt as if he could hear the Great Dao whispering, see the laws flowing, and touch the essence of the Dao.

It is a mysterious state where one's own Dao fruit is infinitely close to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, yet not completely in harmony, maintaining a subtle independence.

In this state, Lin Xiu felt that his thinking speed was extremely fast, and he could deduce all laws and understand the essence of all paths in an instant.

Lin Xiu could even vaguely sense that if he were to fight an enemy in this state, every move he made could influence the power of heaven and earth, unleashing terrifying combat power far exceeding his own level.

Unfortunately, this feeling only lasted for a moment.

When Lin Xiu consciously tried to grasp this feeling and experience it carefully, he had already exited the state of divine restriction.

The resonance of Lin Xiu's five secret realms gradually subsided, and all his senses returned to normal.

.......

"This is... what's called divine restriction..."

Although it was only a momentary state of divine restriction, Lin Xiu felt as if that moment was eternal.

In the state of divine restriction, Lin Xiu seemed to be able to glimpse the origin of all things, and his own Dao was infinitely close to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. It was a state that was close to the Dao but had subtle differences from the Dao.

Lin Xiu knew that the Divine Restriction was a pass to the threshold of becoming a true genius, and ancient emperors could even stay in the Divine Restriction state to maximize their Dao Fruit and combat power.

"Normally, only when one enters the Sendai realm and the five secret realms resonate can one unleash a trace of divine brilliance."

"Now, I can comprehend a divine restriction in an instant just by leaning half my body into the platform, which is not unworthy of the title of 'Immortal Venerable'."

Because the cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness are dedicated to making Lin Xiu the face of the Eastern Wilderness so that he can compete with cultivators from other major regions, Lin Xiu's name has recently become very well-known. When Lin Xiu returned to the Shrouding the Heavens world to undergo tribulation, he often heard people talking about him.

However, Lin Xiu did not become complacent because of the compliments from others.

Lin Xiu knew that his extraordinary abilities were largely due to the Daoist Space.

Even the system couldn't provide him with as much assistance as the Daoist Space.

After all, the system can only give him some physical rewards and save him some time to comprehend the Dao, but the Dao Rhyme Space can truly allow Lin Xiu to deduce the myriad Daos even at a low cultivation level!

........

"The Dragon Transformation is now complete; it's time to break through to the Immortal Platform!"

Lin Xiu raised his hand and took out two divine items from the system space.

Firstly, there is the "Calabash Immortal Pill" obtained from the Calabash Brothers world. The pill is seven-colored and contains seven kinds of spiritual essence, with flowing light.

The other is a dragon-shaped, dream-level divine essence fragment obtained from the Three Kingdoms world. It is only the size of a thumb, but it is like a miniature ancestral dragon of heaven and earth, exuding a magnificent divinity and dragon aura that would make even the cultivators of the Immortal Platform tremble.

Although everyone says that using drugs to level up is bad, if there really were a miracle drug in front of you, who wouldn't take it?

What's wrong with me leveling up my drug use?

You haven't taken your medication yet!

After taking one last, slightly reluctant look, Lin Xiu opened his mouth and swallowed both items together.

"boom!"

As the gourd elixir dissolved, seven distinct yet complementary primordial spiritual energies, like seven roaring dragons, surged about, constantly cleansing his physical body and the secret realm.

At the same time, the dragon-shaped dream-level divine essence fragments exploded, transforming into an extremely pure dragon-shaped divine essence that rushed straight towards Lin Xiu's spine dragon!

"Ang ang ang ang ang ang!"

In a daze, it seemed as if a dragon's roar resounded from within Lin Xiu's body!

His entire spine, like a dragon, seemed to come alive! Every vertebra was rumbling! He was absorbing the spiritual energy of the gourd elixir and the dragon energy of the essence, undergoing the deepest transformation and evolution.

The Ninth Transformation of the Dragon: Surpassing the Ultimate Realm!

Sendai Secret Realm, open!

Sendai First Heaven, First Stage, Broken!

Second stage, break through!

Third stage, break through!

With a wealth of insights into the Great Dao, coupled with the immense assistance of the two divine artifacts, Lin Xiu broke through three barriers almost without any hindrance, and stood firmly on the third step of the first level of the Sendai Heaven!

After breaking through to the Immortal Platform, Lin Xiu's Immortal Platform between his eyebrows radiated endless divine light, his divine sense surged, and his perception of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth became more than ten times clearer!

"Boom!!!"

Almost the instant Lin Xiu broke through, the celestial phenomena outside changed drastically!

Boundless, thick tribulation clouds emerged from the depths of the void at an incredible speed, instantly covering the sky for hundreds of miles around Lin Xiu!

Chapter 190 The Future Empress, the Country Bumpkin Pang Bo

The holy city remains bustling and teeming with people.

Suddenly, all the cultivators in the city, regardless of their cultivation level, sensed something and looked in the same direction outside the city.

"Heavenly Tribulation! Someone is undergoing tribulation!"
