Cultivation of Immortality: Refining the Innate Spiritual Treasure at the beginning

Li Yang's body was trembling slightly, his face was full of exhaustion, but his eyes were extremely firm.

The calamity clouds in the sky were constantly surging, and purple thunder light loomed in the clouds, as if laughing at Li Yang's overestimation of his abilities.

Li Yang took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his state, and then ran the "Xing Yi Yin" technique again, preparing to welcome the baptism of the next thunderstorm.

"boom!"

The second tribulation thunder fell in response, and Li Yang's body once again endured tremendous pressure. His skin was scorched by lightning, and blood seeped out from the wound, but he still gritted his teeth and struggled to hold on.

Li Yang has experienced the pain of being tempered countless times. He knows that only by gritting his teeth and persisting can he become stronger.

The third, fourth, fifth... each tribulation thunder was more powerful than the last one, and Li Yang's body also suffered more and more serious injuries.

Fortunately, there is a Five Elements Defense Formation above Li Yang's head. Every time before the tribulation thunder falls, he will adjust the formation to weaken the power of the tribulation thunder as much as possible.

And he himself is constantly running the "Xing Yi Yin" technique, guiding the energy of Jie Lei to flow in his body, tempering his body.

Finally, the last of the eighth wave of tribulation thunder fell. Although Li Yang had used defensive formations to weaken the tribulation thunder by more than 70%, the remaining tribulation thunder was still extremely powerful, and Li Yang's body was instantly submerged in the lightning.

Ten minutes later, Li Yang digested all the lightning and looked up at the sky again.

At this time, the calamity clouds above the head were surging rapidly, and the purple thunder light kept flashing in the thick clouds, as if the final power of destruction was accumulating in the dark, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.

Li Yang was suspended in the air, his body trembling slightly. After being baptized by eight waves of thunder, his physical body had reached its limit. Although his eyes were full of determination, there was a look of exhaustion on his face that was difficult to conceal.

In the following calamity thunder, his physical body could no longer withstand the stronger attack. While Li Yang drank the spirit wine, he took out the best spirit stones and continuously absorbed the spirit energy in order to quickly restore his true energy.

The cultivators on the city wall also looked at Li Yang nervously. They knew that the final nine tribulation thunders would be the key to life and death. If Li Yang can successfully survive the catastrophe, it will be a blessing for the entire human race.

Under the gaze of everyone, the ninth wave of thunder finally fell. A purple thunder light as thick as a bucket suddenly landed. After the defensive array was weakened, Li Yang used the "Xing Yi Yin" body training technique with all his strength and easily blocked the tribulation thunder.

The power of the first few tribulation thunders was not as strong as the last tribulation thunder of the eighth wave. With his previous experience, Li Yang could deal with it quite easily.

But when the fifth tribulation thunder fell, its power was far greater than before. In desperation, Li Yang could only continue to drive the magic weapon to self-destruct after the defensive array weakened the thunder, thereby weakening the power of the thunder.

As for the "Xing Yi Yin" body-refining technique, he only used it to refine the Jie Lei that had been weakened to the extreme.

Fortunately, Huo Qier had collected a lot of magic weapons for Li Yang before, which allowed him to use them without any scruples.

Even so, when he blocked the eighth thunderstorm, there were only four magic weapons left.

Looking at the calamity clouds rolling overhead again, Li Yang's eyes flashed with solemnity. The last tribulation thunder is undoubtedly the most powerful, and it is said that this tribulation thunder also contains inner demons. If you are not careful, you will fall into it and be irreversible.

In the past, more than 90% of the cultivators who had reached this stage died under this last tribulation thunder.

If you want to survive this last catastrophe, you must either have strong defense means and be able to withstand the tribulation thunder even if you fall into inner demons; or you can quickly deal with the inner demons and then use various means to resist the tribulation thunder.

Li Yang was fully prepared. He first input a large amount of true energy into the Five Directions Flag, adjusted the formation barrier to its strongest state, and tried his best to resist the tribulation thunder.

Then, he injected his true energy into the green lotus platform at his feet to strengthen the five-color defense shield around him. In addition, he also mobilized a little power of the world and injected it into the blue lotus platform and the five-directional flag.

Finally, Li Yang used his Yuan Shen to recite the "Five Elements of Taoism" in the sea of ​​consciousness, preparing to resist the invasion of inner demons.

As Li Yang got ready, the calamity clouds in the sky also changed. The calamity clouds that were originally dark and seemed to be about to fall at any time turned into ordinary white clouds. Only the calamity clouds above Li Yang's head were still black and purple.

Suddenly, the calamity cloud turned into a purple-black calamity thunder and struck towards Li Yang.

During the Jie Lei's dive, you can see a cloud of black gas rushing toward Li Yang faster than the purple Jie Lei. Moreover, this ball of gas regarded defense as nothing, easily passed through Li Yang's defense, and went straight into his body.

The purple tribulation thunder from behind then fell, and Li Yang's defensive methods played a key role. Just the formation barrier composed of five square flags successfully blocked more than 80% of the tribulation thunder. Although this tribulation thunder eventually shattered the formation barrier, it also completed its mission.

The remaining tribulation thunder bombarded the five-color defensive cover of the blue lotus platform. Although the tribulation thunder also shattered the defensive cover, the power of the remaining tribulation thunder was no longer fearful and could not pose a threat to Li Yang at all.

Just when the remaining Jie Lei launched an attack on Li Yang, the black aura from before also rushed into his sea of ​​consciousness, and a fierce battle was about to begin.

The inner demon tried to take advantage of the situation and interfere with Li Yang's mind, but Li Yang's soul was reciting the "Five Elements of Taoism" scripture. The inner demon in the form of black gas was frightened by the scripture as soon as it entered the sea of ​​consciousness. Unable to move.

Gradually, various graphic symbols flew regularly in the sea of ​​consciousness, and the black gas slowly lost its original aura and became part of Li Yang's consciousness.

At this point, the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation has completely ended, and Li Yang has officially entered the Mahayana stage of cultivation. At the same time, he felt that the true essence in his body had undergone some kind of transformation. Although the quantity had decreased, the quality had greatly improved.

According to records in the classics, after surviving the ninety-nine tribulations, the true energy in the body will gradually turn into immortal power. This is just like the original spiritual power turning into true energy, which is a qualitative improvement.

The process of converting true energy into immortal power runs through the entire Mahayana period. When all the true energy is converted into immortal power, it means that the cultivation has reached the great perfection state of the Mahayana period.

Once you reach that level of cultivation, you are almost invincible in Shangxu, and your realm cannot be improved further. If you want to have a broader space for development, you must ascend to the upper realm.

However, it is said that no one in Shangxu has been able to successfully ascend to the upper world for a long time.
