Starting Cultivation During a Trip

Chapter 631: Chapter 308: Throughout History, Only Three Have Succeeded! The Calamity That Doomed South Zhang

The moon neither bright nor dark, a gentle breeze neither warm nor cold.

Deep within the cloudy mountains, a flicker of lamp light reflects the heavenly moon, mingling with the mountain’s breeze.

Inside the dilapidated palace and temple nestled between the mountain dales, a Peach Wood Sword hung on the Divine Platform suddenly cracked, with bolts of lightning and bursts of fire erupting.

Interwoven with thunder and fire, the person’s figure appeared all the more majestic and extraordinary.

Sitting cross-legged on the Divine Platform, at this instant, he seemed as if an immortal, resembling a deity.

Rumble...

Suddenly, a breath arose, like booming thunder, like a raging wind, like the tide of a river... Heaven and Earth breathed together, mountains and rivers echoed, the surging thunder and fire suddenly dissipated, as if absorbed into that grand figure.

"Venus..."

At this moment, Yu Xuanji walked over from afar, her delicate brows deeply furrowed, a hint of worry on her pristine face.

"Did you fall from the Sect Leader realm?"

"The Dao has no realm, but men insist on dividing boundaries,"

Li Changgeng sat cross-legged on the Divine Platform. Although his realm fell, his aura became even deeper, an enigma beyond fathoming.

"The cultivation technique I practiced is too powerful and domineering, inviting the divine to dread it. If I don’t cut myself down, Heaven will come to kill, Earth will come to punish," Li Changgeng spoke solemnly.

"Heaven and Earth Stealing Fortune!" A unique light flashed in Yu Xuanji’s eyes.

"The Nine Great Inner Elixir Methods are truly terrifying."

In the mortal realm, amongst the many tribulations, these nine techniques are the most perilous!

With this thought, Yu Xuanji looked at Li Changgeng, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.

She feared that one day, Li Changgeng might face that great tribulation of Heaven and Earth, turning to dust and ashes evermore.

"Those who can seize Heaven and Earth’s fortune must enter the realm of immortality and longevity," Li Changgeng murmured softly.

"Such a reversing technique, if without tribulation, how could one become a god or immortal?"

"But..."

Before Yu Xuanji could finish, Li Changgeng interrupted her.

"Throughout these years, I’ve cultivated Heaven and Earth Stealing Fortune, gradually comprehending on my own; perhaps there is a way to truly refine this technique."

At these words, Yu Xuanji’s eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "What method?"

"To reverse is the movement of the Dao," Li Changgeng paused briefly, then continued.

"To seek height, one must dwell below; to seek possession, one must first embrace emptiness... If you wish to seize fortune, you must first meet tribulation. This boundless Heaven and Earth, there is but one technique, to relentlessly pursue the mysteries of tribulations, revealing the evil aspects of the mortal realm..."

"If I can acquire this technique, I might reference it mutually, comprehending the secret of tribulations."

"Are you saying..." Yu Xuanji’s eyes trembled, revealing an incredulous expression.

As a descendant of Sanqing Mountain, how could she not understand what Li Changgeng was implying?

"One of the Nine Techniques, Ten Thousand Evils Tribulation Aspect!" Li Changgeng’s gaze was profound.

Rumble...

High above the long sky, the bright moon still lingered, with a bolt of thunder tearing through the sky as if concealing the madman’s secret words.

Clap... clap...

At this moment, a sound of clapping came from the ethereal night.

The next moment, a young man slowly stepped out, his handsome face revealed in the flickering firelight, dressed casually, with a pair of black sunglasses hanging on the pocket of his chest.

"Of the nine techniques born of Heaven and Earth, refining even one is extraordinarily rare in history,"

"Taoist Brother Li, worthy of being a descendant of the White Crane Temple, dares to covet two techniques, courting death is not far off," the handsome youth said with a smile.

"The path to courting death is the method of immortality," Li Changgeng replied calmly, looking at the visitor.

With these words, the handsome youth fell silent.

"Xiangtingshan, you roam the mortal world, indifferent to cultivation, yet you advance a thousand miles a day, among the demon linage of Hundred Thousand Mountains, you are already top-tier," Li Changgeng said calmly.

The grand Dao always divides extremes, the unintentional willow becomes a shade.

"Me?" Xiangtingshan laughed.

White Elephant Mountain, a sacred land in the absolute realms of Hundred Thousand Mountains.

This is because, for generations, the demon leaders of the Hundred Thousand Mountains have come from this line.

He is a leader among the younger generation of White Elephant Mountain, but he is seldom in the mountains, roaming the mortal world, seeming to have little attachment to cultivation, yet his Dao practice has already reached an extremely terrifying realm.

"You humans indeed have many beings of exceptional intelligence and talent..." Xiangtingshan whispered in a serious tone.

"To set aside all annoyances, to entrust oneself to the leisurely pace of life, to forsake wisdom and holiness, to abandon all thoughts, what joy or sorrow remains in this mortal world?"

If one entrusts all troubles to the leisurely life, forsakes wisdom and holiness and abandons all thoughts, what joy or sorrow can there be in this mortal world?

Realms naturally come to fruition smoothly.

These years, although not in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, he had gained much from the Daoist scriptures, thus crossing paths with Li Changgeng.

"The incense of White Elephant Mountain will reach its peak in you," Li Changgeng murmured softly.

Toward Xiangtingshan, he held great optimism, which is why he spared no effort in recruiting young experts from various demon caves of the Hundred Thousand Mountains to assist him.

One day, this man might become the demon leader of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

"You’re overestimating me," Xiangtingshan chuckled lightly.

The current demon leader is at the peak of power, and he doesn’t know when he would have to wait to sit on that great position.

"When the time comes, Heaven and Earth both aid, a hero is not free from fate," Li Changgeng solemnly whispered.

"No matter how high an individual’s cultivation, it cannot resist the grand tide of Heaven and Earth’s momentum, the old era is replaced by a new wave..."

"This is the trend of great momentum!"

Li Changsheng sat cross-legged on the Divine Platform, his words peaceful yet powerful, each word and phrase seemed as if spoken by Heaven, by Earth, by divinity.

Xiangtingshan remained silent, yet a strange light flickered in his eyes.

Yu Xuanji watched, clearly aware that this descendant of White Elephant Mountain had long stood on the grand ship of Li Changgeng’s destiny.

Swoosh...

At this moment, a gust of fishy wind blew, flickering the candle flames.

"Zhang Fan... I saw Zhang Fan..."

Huang Sanlang rushed in, travel-stained, lingering fear evident in his eyes.

"Hmm!?"

Yu Xuanji raised her brow, revealing an unusual expression.
