Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 838 - : Crossing Tribulation

Chapter 838 -838: Crossing Tribulation

Chang’an City, Taiji Palace.

Located at the center of the city, the Taiji Palace had been built in a short period of time, a mere four years. In terms of foundation and fame, it couldn’t compare with the Green Cloud Palace on Green Cloud Peak.

But this Taoist Palace, rising from nothingness, radiated a vitality and vigor that the Green Cloud Palace could not match.

The latter resembled an elderly man in his twilight years, possessing deep accumulations of power and strength, but with limbs rigid and a mind muddled. Moreover, with strictly enforced levels and numerous rules, it was almost like a quagmire prison—one that was difficult to escape once ensnared.

The atmosphere within Taiji Palace was extremely progressive; apart from the most basic rules, there were no restrictive frameworks. Hence, it attracted a large number of cultivators to come for exchange and learning.

Many cultivators found their place within this Taoist Palace and felt a sense of belonging to Chang’an City.

What truly united people’s hearts was the Lord of Taiji Palace and of Chang’an––the Holy Master, Wang Chen!

Wang Chen’s power was unfathomable, and he delighted in imparting knowledge and teachings. Whoever sought his counsel would receive satisfying responses.

From the inception of Taiji Palace, Wang Chen held public lectures in the Taoist hall at regular intervals. The number of cultivators attending the lectures grew from an initial couple to hundreds later on.

Some cultivators even secretly disguised themselves and snuck away from Taiwu Mountain to listen!

Over the years, the reverence for Holy Master Wang Chen among cultivators grew by the day, while Green Cloud Palace, having vast conflicts with him, astonishingly didn’t have the slightest means to restrain his influence.

Regrettably, in the past two years, Wang Chen’s public appearances had become increasingly rare, usually lecturing only once a month.

But this had no effect on his prestige.

Many speculated that Wang Chen’s cultivation level had likely reached the pinnacle of Entry Tao and that he was currently striving for the Great Supreme Realm.

Of course, whether this speculation was accurate remained to be seen.

Yet, with Green Cloud Palace acting like a turtle withdrawing into its shell, who would dare to stand out and challenge this?

The more mysterious Wang Chen became, the more he incited fear in others.

His fame even spread to cities thousands of miles away by the feet of traveling merchants!

Crack!

That day, ominous clouds suddenly enveloped the sky above Chang’an City, and a bolt of lightning, accompanied by a roaring thunder, pierced the clouds, illuminating the nine-tiered high pavilion below.

At Taiji Palace’s Lingyan Pavilion, Wang Chen, seated upon the Heaven and Earth Taiji Disc, suddenly opened his eyes.

Countless tiny sparks flickered within his deep black pupils.

Then they returned to stillness.

Wang Chen rose and walked out of the room, stepping onto the Star Observation Platform outside.

He looked up at the firmament, his gaze heavy with concern.

And at that moment, the sky raged with thunderbolt lightning and dense clouds, as though they would descend to destroy the city!

Wang Chen felt the bared fangs of this world against him!

Already three years ago, Wang Chen’s cultivation had reached the pinnacle of Entry Tao, and he had begun to attempt a breakthrough to the Great Supreme Realm.

But this was a path untrodden by any predecessor; even Elder Yao, who had gone through twelve cycles of reincarnation, could not grasp the way. With no precedents to follow, Wang Chen had to rely solely on his own exploration and enlightenment.

However, by continuously absorbing the Qi of Humanity and condensing it into Spiritual Light, Wang Chen gradually saw the direction he must take.

It was at that point, he sensed the world’s antagonism towards him.

Initially, this natural antagonism from heaven and earth was faint and almost imperceptible, unnoticed without close attention.

But as the Spiritual Light of Humanity within him continued to condense, the world’s antagonism grew in tandem.

Now, within Wang Chen’s Qi Sea Dantian, a mass self-named “Nascent Soul” of Spiritual Light had formed, and the antagonism reached a certain extreme.

At this moment, Wang Chen felt that the world could hardly tolerate his existence any longer.

The lightning and thunder served as warnings from heaven and earth!

“You must make a breakthrough,” Elder Yao’s voice echoed in his mind. “If you don’t advance, you will regress, and to regress means certain death!”

This Nascent Soul True Immortal, although unable to help Wang Chen break through to the Great Supreme Realm, provides him with exceptional help through his vast experience and knowledge.

Otherwise, Wang Chen wouldn’t have reached the peak of Entry Tao so quickly.

“Elder Yao!”

Wang Chen exclaimed in surprise.

Because in recent years, Elder Yao had communicated with him less and less frequently, and for shorter periods of time.

Three years ago, this Nascent Soul True Immortal fell into silence and had not spoken since.

Until today!

“I’m fine.”

Elder Yao didn’t give Wang Chen the chance to reminisce and continued, “The ultimate path will inevitably bring great tribulations, both from heaven and man. Prepare for the tribulation quickly, if you do not succeed, you will become benevolent!”

After speaking, the Nascent Soul True Immortal fell silent again.

Wang Chen was momentarily speechless.

It was time!

He once again looked up at the sky and softly called out, “Jiaojiao.”

After a moment, a graceful figure silently appeared behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Wang Chen turned around and embraced the beauty in his arms.

Seven years had passed and Hu Jiaojiao had completely transformed, not only had her body and appearance returned to their original state, but she was also able to maintain her human form for long periods and cultivate in human form within the Taiji Palace.

Following Wang Chen, she had also partaken in a considerable amount of Qi of Humanity. Her cultivation level was now not much less than Wang Chen’s.

Close to the ninth tier!

And ninth tier Fierce Beasts, like Upper Cultivators, only existed in legends.

It was precisely because of Hu Jiaojiao’s presence that Chang’an City had never suffered from a beast tide attack since its establishment. Moreover, the process of expanding territory went smoothly, and those Fierce Beasts that were considered great enemies to the human race had become the cultivation sustenance for the White Deer Disciples and the Taiji Palace cultivators!

After enjoying a moment of tenderness, Wang Chen asked, “Are you ready?”

Hu Jiaojiao nodded vigorously.

For seven years, she had been preparing for this day at every moment!

“Good!”

Wang Chen reached out to capture the Heaven and Earth Taiji Disc in the room and placed it into the Sumeru Ring.

This magical treasure, obtained from Elder Yao’s secret stash, greatly accelerated his cultivation speed when sitting on it, and also had the ability to consolidate one’s spirit and resist inner demons.

He hugged Hu Jiaojiao’s slender waist tightly and abruptly leaped high into the air.

In midair, a pair of light cyan wings unfolded behind Wang Chen instantly, carrying the two of them towards the distant mountain range.

The Wind-Thunder Wings, also a magical treasure from Elder Yao’s secret stash!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thunder in the sky became dense and loud, and several bolts of lightning suddenly struck down.

One of them grazed by Wang Chen, nearly striking him.

Hu Jiaojiao instinctively buried her head in Wang Chen’s chest—members of the Monster Race have an innate awe and fear of thunderbolts.

But Wang Chen stood fearless, continuously channeling the power of his Qi-Blood into the Wind-Thunder Wings, accelerating toward the high peak ahead.

After a short while, Wang Chen broke through the barrage of thunder and lightning, landing on top of a perilous peak.

This peak, fifty li away from Chang’an City, was originally unnamed, but was later called “Tribulation Passing Peak” by Wang Chen, chosen as the place for him to break through his limits.
