Chapter 5: The next reversion to ancestral form requires the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden
Inside the main hall, the sounds of Taoism were faint and indistinct.
The three quasi-saints, Taishang, Zhenyuanzi, and Hongyun, sat cross-legged, with auspicious clouds spreading above them and countless blue lotuses appearing and disappearing. Every word they uttered contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.
The sounds of the Great Dao collided with each other, creating ripples that enveloped the entire Wuzhuang Temple in a mysterious atmosphere.
Niu Ben lay prone to the side, the immense life energy transformed from the ginseng fruit surging through his body like a raging celestial river.
It created a wonderful resonance with the sound of the Great Dao.
His comprehension speed skyrocketed in an incredible way!
Time loses its meaning in the midst of philosophical discussions.
In the primordial era, years were not recorded; in the mountains, there was no calendar.
The chaotic singularity within Niu Ben's body exploded, transforming into a small, hazy space where the phantom of the first Earthly Fiend Divine Ox slowly coalesced.
Its entire body is composed of pure energy, with a bull's head and a human body, bulging muscles, and exuding a heavy and savage aura.
Become!
Niu Ben was overjoyed and continued to guide the remaining medicinal power of the ginseng fruit, as well as the spiritual energy absorbed from the outside world, to begin condensing the second and third statues...
The three powerful beings in the hall were already immersed in their discussion of the Great Dao, completely unaware of the earth-shattering changes taking place on the little green ox beside them.
Starting from the beginning of the path to immortality, the discussion moves to the realm of the Golden Immortal, then to the Dao Fruit of Taiyi, the Supreme Luo, and finally points directly to the Quasi-Saint's method of severing the corpse.
Red clouds are unrestrained and do as they please.
Zhen Yuanzi was calm and composed, and possessed great virtue.
The highest principle is non-action, tranquility, and naturalness.
In the blink of an eye, three different roads converge.
Three thousand years have passed quietly.
Above Wuzhuang Temple, auspicious clouds swirled and auspicious energy rose.
Inside the main hall, the mysterious and profound Daoist chants finally subsided.
"Haha, that's great! Three thousand years of discussing the Dao with you, fellow Daoist, is better than ten thousand years of solitary cultivation!" Hongyun clapped his hands and laughed.
Zhen Yuanzi smiled and bowed, saying, "The Great Dao of Non-Action of the Supreme Daoist is truly unfathomable, from which this humble Daoist has benefited immensely."
Taishang nodded slightly, his expression remaining calm, but a hint of clarity appeared in his usually placid eyes.
"Boom—"
A deep rumble of thunder exploded in the sky without warning!
The entire Wanshou Mountain blessed land trembled slightly.
"Heavenly Tribulation?"
Zhen Yuanzi frowned, his face full of confusion.
"My Wuzhuang Temple is a place where the primordial energy of the world converges, an impervious place to all calamities. How could it attract a heavenly tribulation?"
The Supreme Being's gaze swept across the clouds of calamity, his deep eyes seemingly piercing through layers of dark clouds to see directly into their origin.
At that moment, the "blue stone sculpture" lying prone in the hall finally moved.
Niu Ben slowly raised his head and exhaled a long breath.
That was a really good sleep!
He focused his mind on his body and was instantly overwhelmed by the earth-shattering changes.
His cultivation has already firmly entered the realm of Xuanxian!
Within the chaotic space of the dantian, five hundred majestic Earthly Fiend Divine Oxen stood proudly!
Each one exudes a powerful aura comparable to a post-natal spiritual treasure!
His physical strength is more than a hundred times stronger than it was three thousand years ago!
"Ding!"
"Host's cultivation level has been detected to have reached the Profound Immortal realm, fulfilling the first requirement for bloodline reversion."
"The bloodline atavism is about to begin!"
"Warning! A heavenly tribulation has been detected. Please prepare yourself!"
Holy crap!
This really is my tribulation!
Niu Ben was startled. He had only broken through to the Xuanxian realm, so how could he have attracted a heavenly tribulation?
The only explanation is that this heaven-defying bloodline reversion has triggered the rules of the Heavenly Dao!
At this moment, the gazes of the three powerful figures finally fell upon him simultaneously.
The source of the calamity was actually this ox!
The atmosphere became incredibly eerie in that instant.
Disbelief was written all over Zhen Yuanzi's and Hongyun's faces.
A cow?
A bull that has just broken through from a Celestial Immortal to a Profound Immortal?
Did this attract such a terrifying heavenly calamity?
The dark, oppressive tribulation clouds were so powerful that they surpassed even the scenes of ordinary True Immortals undergoing tribulation!
How could a Xuanxian (a type of immortal) possibly attract such a level of lightning punishment?
"This..." Hongyun opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say, so she could only turn her head to look at Taishang.
Niu Ben couldn't care less about anything else at that moment.
The heavenly tribulation had already locked onto him, and the pressure of the tribulation was almost suffocating him.
He shook his massive bull head and respectfully transmitted his thoughts to the Supreme Taoist Master: "Master, I... must go and undergo a tribulation."
His voice was calm and steady, without the slightest hint of panic.
The Supreme Taoist priest glanced at him indifferently.
"Go."
It was just one word, but it seemed to give Niu Ben the greatest permission and confidence.
Niu Ben responded and kicked off with all four hooves.
"Moo!"
A deafening roar of a bull echoed through the sky!
His massive body transformed into a streak of azure lightning, bursting through the roof of the Taoist temple and resolutely heading towards the dark cloud of calamity.
boom!
The moment he burst out of Wuzhuang Temple, his Xuanxian realm cultivation aura was released completely without reservation.
The tribulation clouds in the sky seemed to be provoked, and they spun even more violently!
The purple thunder dragon collided violently with the cyan figure, and the raging thunder power instantly engulfed Niu Ben completely.
Purple electric snakes slithered wildly across his solid muscles, but could only produce a series of "sizzling" sounds, unable to tear through his skin, which was comparable to a magical artifact.
"That was great! Let's do it again!"
Niu Ben felt every inch of his flesh and blood becoming stronger under the tempering of lightning. The sense of transformation originating from the depths of his bloodline became clearer and clearer, making him unable to help but roar to the sky.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The heavenly tribulation seemed to be completely enraged, and the second and third divine lightning bolts followed one after another, each one thicker and more violent than the last!
Niu Ben accepted all comers, using his own body as a furnace and the heavenly tribulation as fire to temper himself and accelerate the process of his bloodline returning to its ancestral form.
His body, instead of collapsing under this terrifying lightning punishment, exuded an increasingly ancient and noble aura.
That was a kind of oppressive aura that surpassed that of ordinary innate beings!
"His foundation... is improving!" Hongyun exclaimed in shock.
"How is this possible! A being's origins are predetermined from the day it is born. Unless one has extraordinary good fortune, there is absolutely no way to improve them later in life!" Zhen Yuanzi muttered to himself. His once-proud and steady Dao heart was now in complete chaos.
He gazed at the figure bathed in lightning in the sky, as if witnessing the birth of a myth.
Only the Supreme Taoist's eyes shone brighter and brighter.
"boom"
The ninth and final tribulation has finally arrived!
It was a bolt of lightning that was almost entirely black, and the destructive aura it contained made even a Taiyi Golden Immortal change color!
With bloodshot eyes, Niu Ben unleashed the full power of all the Earthly Fiend Divine Oxen within his body, transforming them into a gigantic chaotic ox shadow that soared into the sky.
"break!"
After the earth-shattering roar, the raging clouds dissipated.
A dazzling golden light descended from the heavens, enveloping Niu Ben.
This is a gift from Heaven, a reward for successfully transcending the tribulation.
The changes within Niu Ben's body reached their peak at this moment!
"Moo—"
A distant, desolate roar, as if from the chaotic era of a bull, came from his mouth.
The shackles of his bloodline were completely broken!
A faint, yet incredibly pure, aura of chaos emanated from him.
His foundation underwent an epic leap at this moment!
From an ordinary innate being, he leaped to become an innate deity!
The bottleneck in cultivation was instantly broken through, as if it were made of paper, under the influence of this transformative power and the gift of Heaven!
The middle stage of Xuanxian!
Late stage of Xuanxian!
Early stage of Golden Immortal!
His cultivation level advanced rapidly, eventually settling steadily at the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm!
"Ding!"
"The next reversion to ancestral form requires the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal!"
Niu Ben slowly descended from the sky, his massive body transforming back into human form. He bowed deeply to the three powerful figures within the Wuzhuang Temple.
