Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 283 - 188: Arrangement (Second Update)_1
Chapter 283: Chapter 188: Arrangement (Second Update)_1
Xu Yang’s current mood was something outsiders would likely never comprehend.
In an era of Taoism, the Scholar’s Palace created laws, accumulating time across three thousand years.
Only today, in the midst of a world-shattering catastrophe, did the thunderbolt creation reveal the grand chapter of the Great Dao.
This round of Ninety-nine Absolute Tribulations solved countless puzzles for him, supplemented the weaknesses of the Heavenly Craft Method and the Spiritual Treasure Technique. It couldn’t be called a complete overhaul, a regeneration from the ashes, but it was a step further beyond a hundred steps already taken.
In a single moment of comprehension, he grasped the essence of creation, comparable to a millennium of research, perhaps even ten thousand years of hard labor.
This is the Cultivation Skills Divine Magic gained from Asking Heaven Tribulation.
Regrettably, the number of Heavenly Tribulations exists only in this realm; other worlds do not have this rule, at least the World of Dao and Law does not.
In the World of Dao and Law, there are indeed Heavenly Tribulations, but those are purely punitive, intended for slaughter, decimation of heaven and earth, specifically targeting Demons and Evil Cultivators. Whether one crosses them or not, there’s not much to gain.
This world, however, is different. Though the heavens and earth are strict and the tribulations terrifying, if one can transcend them, the rewards are immense.
If the World of Dao and Law also had a system of Heavenly Tribulations like this, the pace at which Wandao School researched laws would no doubt soar.
Unfortunately, this ‘if’ does not hold true…
No, no, no, just because the World of Dao and Law lacks it, does not mean Wandao School does not.
If he were to establish a branch of Wandao School in this world, using the “Asking Heaven Tribulation” method to tackle various cultivation dilemmas and then assign tasks requiring time and accumulation to the Wandao School of the World of Dao and Law,
Then, with both worlds, two Scholar’s Palaces cooperating, complementing each other, might the pace of researching laws not increase a thousandfold, a hundredfold?
There is great potential, great potential!
A thought, a plan, once again began to take shape in Xu Yang’s heart.
But that was a concern for the future. The problems of the present still needed to be addressed.
Xu Yang returned to the mountain without saying much. Once the Heavenly Eye on his forehead opened and spirit light gathered in his hand, the Mysterious Mirror appeared at once.
Within the realm of the Mysterious Light, amidst chaotic transformations, the scene soon settled on three figures conversing.
It was…
“99 Heaven Tribulations, 99 Heaven Tribulations!”
“What should we do, what should we do?”
“Senior brother…”
Within the Tianshu Sect, the Old Demon’s face was pale as Jing Yue’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
Yunji remained silent, with an unease in his heart that he couldn’t shake off.
The might of the 99 Heaven Tribulations needs no elaboration.
Even from ten thousand miles away, merely observing the shadows made him shudder with fear.
Put in the same position, if it were him facing such heavenly might, barely three or five cycles into the 99 cycles of tribulation, he would likely turn to ashes, his body and Dao both extinguished.
But this person… actually withstood it with his body, and truly managed to hold on!
Survive the tribulation of cultivating skills and Divine Skills with nothing but one’s body?
How could that be possible?
Could it be that besides the Heavenly Sword, he also cultivated a body-enhancing Divine Skill, a fourth-tier Flesh Body Becoming Saint Divine Skill?
What kind of Flesh Body Becoming Saint Divine Skill would face the 99 Heaven Tribulations?
The authentic Indestructible Vajra Body from the Brahma Sect?
Or the Flesh Body Becoming Saint Skill from the Immortal Sect?
Or possibly, from the stories of the Cultivation Realm, the Fighting War Saint Body which proves the Dao through strength?
It’s incomprehensible, utterly incomprehensible!
Yunji was at his wits’ end, unsure of what to do.
Stand guard over the Great Array?
He couldn’t convince himself of this plan, let alone his two companions.
They couldn’t defend it, certainly couldn’t.
If that person attacked, the Great Array would undoubtedly break.
What to do, Yunji didn’t know, and neither did his two companions.
The three fell silent, the heavy atmosphere pressing down, stifling their hearts more and more.
In the end…
“Enough!”
“Let’s leave it to fate!”
With a sigh, Yunji spoke in a grave voice, “Report everything as it happened, and the main of Tianshu Sect will decide how to respond. We’ll just follow orders.”
“We shall do as senior brother suggests,” Jing Yue agreed, having no objections.
At this point, this hot potato was beyond their ability to handle.
How to respond, whether to fight or retreat, only the main of Tianshu Sect could decide.
The three were dispirited, enveloped in gloom.
In Green Jade Mountain, Xu Yang smiled and dispersed the Heavenly Eye Mysterious Light. freёnovelkiss.com
Years ago, once the World of Dao and Law transmitted the features of the Admiring Eye of Heaven back, Xu Yang’s Heavenly Eye could penetrate the Tianshu Great Array, observing the internal situation of the Tianshu Sect and uncovering some hidden information.
This included the hundred-year weak period of the Void Spirit, the opening of the passage, reinforcements from Tianshu, and True Monarch Tianshu stuck in the Ten Thousand Star Sea, unable to leave for a time; all of which he deduced with crystal clear clarity using the Heavenly Eye.
That’s why he had been developing so brazenly, without concern for the Tianshu Sect’s arrival.
Previously, the time was not right for them to come.
Now… as long as he wished, they still couldn’t come.
To open the passage between Void Spirit Cave Heaven and the outer world, Tianshu needed to echo the Big Dipper, with two great arrays working together from inside and out.
As long as he immediately set out to destroy the Tianshu Great Array at the Tianshu Sect, the main of Tianshu Sect, trapped outside, would have no way to open the passage and send reinforcements into the Void Spirit Cave Heaven.
But Xu Yang didn’t plan to do that.
This method was a temporary solution, not addressing the root cause, and would lead to serious consequences.
True Monarch Tianshu and the Big Dipper Immortal Sect were indeed forces capable of flipping the table.
The Void Spirit Realm is, after all, just a creation left behind by the Void Spirit Monarch, an Integration Great Power.
The Big Dipper Immortal Sect is an Immortal Sect indeed, an ancient sect that has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years and has produced seven Mahayana True Immortals throughout its history.
If pressed into a corner, it’s not just the Void Spirit Cave Heaven at stake—even if the Void Spirit Monarch, that Integration Great Power, were to be reborn, he would be scattered in soul and spirit, and die once more.
Therefore, annihilating the Tianshu Sect will not solve the problem.
But leaving them unchecked cannot solve the problem either.
Balance!
It’s essential to find the right balance!
To neither allow the Big Dipper Immortal Sect to overturn the table nor let Tianshu regain control over Liang Country and do whatever they want, thus spoiling his grand cultivation plans.
It’s quite challenging.
But Xu Yang doesn’t mind giving it a try.
True Monarch Tianshu, in his quest to achieve Integration, is caught up in the secret realm of the Ten Thousand Star Sea in the Northern Domain, with no time to attend to matters of the Void Spirit Realm.
Under such circumstances, even if his plans failed and his maneuvers did not succeed, the Big Dipper Immortal Sect would probably not flip the table immediately.
After all, the Nascent Soul Dao Seed of True Monarch Tianshu and several Supreme Beidous protecting his path are also in the Ten Thousand Star Sea at the moment.
Why would the Big Dipper Immortal Sect mobilize its profound potential and attack the Void Spirit Cave Heaven strenuously and thanklessly over a small, inconsequential matter?
To spread one’s forces thin and face enemies on all fronts is a major taboo in military strategy!
Therefore, Xu Yang can act freely, whether he succeeds or fails, until True Monarch Tianshu returns from the Ten Thousand Star Sea, he will have a period of time to develop peacefully.
As for what happens after True Monarch Tianshu returns—whether it will be a comparison of strength or a distant flight of a thousand miles to plot for the future—that will be planned later.
In this world, nothing is constant. The situation changes with time, and the future may bring new developments and opportunities.
With a definite plan in mind, Xu Yang doesn’t say much more, and with a sweep of his sleeve, he sends a beam of spirit light flying towards the mountain’s exterior.
Three days later, in the Spirit Fields, Xiao Miao was absent-mindedly hoeing the fields, his gaze constantly glancing towards the top of Green Jade Mountain.
Not just him—cultivators in all the Spirit Fields, as well as inside and outside Green Jade Mountain, were doing the same.
A major era is about to begin, and a storm is coming.
It’s clear to everyone that after “King Shifa” broke through to Nascent Soul, he must take action against Tianshu Sect.
Green Jade Mountain, Tianshu Sect!
A clash between two powers and the outcome of one battle will determine the future of Liang Country, as well as the fate of these cultivators.
There’s no room for anyone to be indifferent.
Xiao Miao felt the same.
“Heavenly Sword, Heavenly Sword, he actually didn’t use the Heavenly Sword, and withstood the 99 Heaven Tribulations with his bare body!”
“What does that mean?”
“Could it be that apart from the Heavenly Sword and his swordsmanship, thunder series, and formations, he has also cultivated the Body Training Skill?”
“What Body Training Skill can provoke the 99 Heaven Tribulations?”
“Old ghost, even if you’re playing a demon, there’s a limit. Aren’t you exaggerating a bit too much?”
“What’s such an old monster doing here in the Void Spirit Realm instead of preparing for Ascension outside?”
“Could it be that little bastard from Tianshu or rather those old bastards from Big Dipper Immortal Sect provoked him, so he specifically came here to give them a hard time?”
“No no no…”
Elder Zhen chattered on and on, his incessant talk giving Xiao Miao a headache, prompting him to interrupt.
“Elder Zhen, don’t worry about what he’s doing. Think about what will happen to Tianshu Sect instead. Will they really break through the Void Spirit Cave Heaven?”
“This… It’s hard to say!”
Elder Zhen shook his head: “The Void Spirit Cave Heaven is formed from the Immortal Artifact of the Void Spirit Monarch combined with the workings of heaven and earth—a creation of perfect timing, geographical, and human conditions.”
“The Big Dipper Immortal Sect could break it, but it would come at a considerable cost, a loss beyond the worth, so, unless it’s absolutely necessary, they wouldn’t go to such extremes.”
“Now, it all depends on what that old ghost does. As long as he doesn’t push things too far, with the nature of that bastard from Tianshu, he will probably allow him some time, waiting until he is perfectly prepared and sees a profit to be had before he makes a move.”
Having heard Elder Zhen’s analysis, Xiao Miao felt much relieved: “Then we are still relatively safe.”
“This…”
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
Before he could say more, a sudden ringing cut him off.
“What’s that…?”
“The Green Jade Bell?”
“What’s happened?”
Everyone’s gaze turned, filled with alarm and uncertainty.
Shortly thereafter, within Green Jade Mountain, the cultivators all gathered together.
Xiao Miao was among the crowd, standing midway towards the back, looking towards the front with an uncertain expression.
Up front, a group of cultivators, mostly Golden Core, with the rest being complete in Foundation Establishment, comprised Green Jade Mountain’s Enforcement Squad.
Having swept through the Cultivation Realm ten years ago, King Shifa unified Liang Country, purged the Golden Core cultivators who were subjects of the Three Sects along with their lackeys and henchmen, spared neither demon beasts nor Robbing Cultivators, and showed mercy only to those “who came to their senses,” whom he bestowed Taoism upon, placed under a spell, and reorganized as the Enforcement Squad that patrolled the four directions for Green Jade Mountain.
Even to this day, these cultivators still formed the core strength of the Green Jade Mountain’s outer sect.
As for the inner sect… to this day, the specifics of the Green Jade Mountain’s inner sect remain unknown. Only the ten famous disciples were somewhat known, while the rest remained shrouded in mystery. No one knew how many cultivators or how many experts there were in Green Jade Mountain apart from King Shifa and his ten disciples.
Now, with everyone gathered here…
“Spell King!”
In the midst of Xiao Miao’s questions, someone ascended the stage, and the crowd spoke respectfully.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
Xiao Miao’s eyes sharpened, and he lowered his head slightly, glancing out of the corner of his eye.
He saw that upon the stage, a figure arrived astride a cloud.
“In one month, I will attack Tianshu Sect. The road ahead is perilous, and my life and death uncertain!”
The Taoist Man seated on the cloud lowered his gaze: “You have served for ten years and achieved some merit. Today, I will return your freedom to you. Go your separate ways, cultivate well, and do not waste the fruits of your efforts or the teachings of my Dao!”
Having said this, without concerning himself with the crowd’s reaction, he swept his dust whisk and enveloped all the Golden Core Cultivation Law Enforcement Elders in a light.
