Chapter 190: Crossing the Tribulation to Become a Human Immortal
Lan Xiaobu felt an immense joy in his heart.
He planned to first refine the Extreme Sea Cloud Boat of the Fog Sea Immortal Sect and then make a trip back to Mubei Immortal City.
Just then, his communication pearl received a message from Zhan Yanqi of the Fog Sea Immortal Sect.
Did the Fog Sea Immortal Sect want to completely trade the mid-grade immortal tool, Extreme Sea Cloud Boat, to him? For just two Rainbow Immortal Mushrooms? They even asked if he was willing to trade.
Hehe, what a joke! He wouldn’t agree to the trade.
To others, the Rainbow Immortal Mushrooms were a rare treasure, but to him, they were nothing special; he had dozens of them lying in his cosmic matrix.
Lan Xiaobu also understood that the Fog Sea Immortal Sect proposed this exchange out of two concerns: Firstly, they feared that he might not return the Extreme Sea Cloud Boat after borrowing it.
Secondly, the Rainbow Immortal Mushrooms were incredibly valuable to them.
Two such mushrooms meant the birth of two Human Immortals; gaining two more would elevate the Fog Sea Immortal Sect from the lowest rank of five-star sects to one of the top ones.
“What's the matter?” After Zhan Yanqi sent the message, many island owners anxiously stared at Zhan Yanqi’s communication pearl.
They worried that Lan Xiaobu would refuse.
If Lan Xiaobu declined, the Rainbow Immortal Mushrooms would be useless to the Fog Sea Immortal Sect.
Meanwhile, someone else could use the Extreme Sea Cloud Boat freely, which was enough to keep one awake at night.
Zhan Yanqi motioned for everyone to remain silent.
After about a dozen breaths, the communication pearl suddenly lit up.
“What did he say?” The island owners couldn't help but ask in unison.
Zhan Yanqi scanned the communication pearl, excitement flashing across his face. “City Lord Lan agreed! Not only will he send over a Rainbow Immortal Mushroom later, but he’s also gifting a bottle of Rainbow Elixir…”
“Wonderful! City Lord Lan is indeed generous.” Chief Huang gave a thumbs-up, unable to hold back his praise.
He had completely forgotten that just moments ago, he had accused Lan Xiaobu of being overbearing.
In a short period, Lan Xiaobu returned to trade with the Fog Sea Immortal Sect for the Extreme Sea Cloud Boat.
What he contributed was a treasure to the Fog Sea Immortal Sect, but just an ordinary spiritual item for him.
The news of Lan Xiaobu trading for the Extreme Sea Cloud Boat spread quickly, and this time it was the Fog Sea Immortal Sect that shared the news.
Their intention was obvious: they wanted everyone to know that the Extreme Sea Cloud Boat was no longer within the Fog Sea Immortal Sect but had ended up in Lan Xiaobu's hands.
Many were aware that Lan Xiaobu was not the only one interested in the Extreme Sea Cloud Boat; Jizhou Mountain and the Western Kunlun Sect had their eyes on it as well, and so did the Three Saints Immortal Sect.
For the Fog Sea Immortal Sect, trading away the Extreme Sea Cloud Boat for two Rainbow Immortal Mushrooms was a huge success.
Once the news spread, all the sects in the Yuan Continent expressed their awe, claiming there was a Lan Xiaobu among them, suggesting that the Jizhou Mountain would have less and less influence in the future.
From the perspective of others, it seemed that the Fog Sea Immortal Sect traded the Extreme Sea Cloud Boat not because they had enough bargaining chips but because they were genuinely afraid of Lan Xiaobu.
It was clear that Lan Xiaobu simply wanted to avoid being seen as a thief.
Every time Lan Xiaobu visited a sect, such as the Ancient Star Mountain or the Western Kunlun Sect, they always suffered heavy losses.
At this moment, the Three Saints Immortal Sect was already waiting for Lan Xiaobu's arrival.
Apart from those few sects that had gone to Mubei Immortal City, they were among them.
Though the Tianyuan Sword Sect and the Blazing Immortal Saber Sect had also gone to Mubei Immortal City, they eventually turned against him.
Therefore, from the perspective of others, it was assumed that Lan Xiaobu's next destination would be the Three Saints Immortal Sect.
…
Everyone believed that Lan Xiaobu would go to the Three Saints Immortal Sect, but in reality, he didn’t go there at all; he returned to Mubei Immortal City.
The primary reason for going back to Mubei Immortal City was to gather materials, and he intended to spend some time wandering around the Yuan Continent while awaiting the construction of the first cosmic wall in his cosmic matrix.
A few days later, Lan Xiaobu successfully refined the Extreme Sea Cloud Boat, and he immediately transformed this flight treasure into the Extreme Sea Cloud Boat.
The Extreme Sea Cloud Boat was not large, only ten meters long and a little over five meters wide.
This space was sufficient for Lan Xiaobu.
Without any comparisons, Lan Xiaobu thought highly of high-grade flying spirit tools, but after transforming to the mid-grade immortal tool, he realized that there's simply no comparison.
Whether it was speed, comfort, or defensive capabilities, the Extreme Sea Cloud Boat far surpassed high-grade flying spirit tools when it came to gathering spiritual energy.
In just a short half-day, Lan Xiaobu returned to Mubei Immortal City.
As soon as he returned, he called Wen Xinran and Liu Min over, taking out two million high-grade spirit stones and five million low-grade spirit stones.
He instructed them to gather all materials, especially those needed for arranging formations, as much as they could.
After accomplishing this, Lan Xiaobu ordered Ancient Road to control the Extreme Sea Cloud Boat to circle around Yuan Continent, mainly to identify the location for constructing the first cosmic wall in his cosmic matrix.
At the same time, he instructed the cosmic matrix to shield all his tracking information; he must ensure that his details remained hidden whenever he ventured into the Great Desolate Universe.
Ancient Road controlled the cloud boat while Lan Xiaobu entered a training room to break through to the Human Immortal realm.
He currently possessed a high-grade spiritual vein for cultivation, ensuring that his training speed would be several times faster than before.
Since the high-grade spiritual vein couldn't fit into the Extreme Sea Cloud Boat, Lan Xiaobu placed it within the cosmic matrix, allowing him to still absorb spiritual energy.
Additionally, he arranged a gathering formation around him, placing heaps of spirit stones and spirit marrow crystals nearby.
As Lan Xiaobu expected, the combined effects of the high-grade spiritual vein and the gathering formation resulted in a thick spiritual mist that formed a swirling vortex around him.
Having been on the brink of reaching the peak of the Void God realm, the influx of spiritual energy allowed Lan Xiaobu to break through to the peak of the Void God realm within just five days, and a month later, his Void God realm was perfected.
At this moment, he had no thought of rest; he continued to stabilize his perfect Void God realm and prepared to seek a location for crossing the tribulation to enter the Human Immortal realm.
The area around the Extreme Sea Cloud Boat had long been enveloped in spiritual mist, as the speed of the boat was so fast that even divine senses could barely catch a fleeting glimpse of it.
Or perhaps due to the activation of the high-grade spiritual vein during Lan Xiaobu's cultivation, the atmospheric richness of spiritual energy was overwhelming.
In the cosmic matrix, a faint shadow of the cosmic wall began to appear.
However, Lan Xiaobu paused in solidifying his cultivation as he sensed the impending tribulation.
Confused, he wondered how he could perceive the Human Immortal realm's lightning tribulation when he hadn’t even consumed a Rainbow Immortal Mushroom or begun his ascent to that realm.
“Ancient Road, stop immediately! I’m going to cross the tribulation!” Lan Xiaobu called out urgently.
If they didn’t stop quickly, the lightning tribulation might tear apart his Extreme Sea Cloud Boat.
Fortunately, Ancient Road was an experienced driver.
Almost as soon as Lan Xiaobu called, the Extreme Sea Cloud Boat came to a stop just outside of a wilderness.
Lan Xiaobu dashed out of the Extreme Sea Cloud Boat and landed in the wilderness, quickly scattering a heap of spirit stones while arranging a mid-grade spiritual vein he had used about half of.
Before he could complete his gathering formation, eighteen arcs of lightning descended with a thunderous roar.
Lan Xiaobu sighed; the first time he crossed tribulation hastily was due to his lack of preparation, and now doing it again so unexpectedly was truly unforeseen.
If crossing into the Human Immortal realm was so simple, then the Yuan Continent would undoubtedly be filled with Human Immortals by now.
The Fog Sea Immortal Sect would never be exchanging the mid-grade flying immortal tool, Extreme Sea Cloud Boat, for just two Rainbow Immortal Mushrooms.
In truth, his crossing into the Human Immortal realm was indeed going to be simple.
He hadn’t even consumed a Rainbow Immortal Mushroom or started his proper ascent when the Human Immortal realm's lightning tribulation fell upon him.
As Lan Xiaobu summoned out the Seven Sounds Spear, eighteen arcs of lightning relentlessly struck down.
He hesitated for a moment and decided not to use the Seven Sounds Spear to resist, sensing that the threat from these lightning arcs was within his acceptable range, likely due to his refined body.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The eighteen arcs of lightning only tore apart some of Lan Xiaobu's blood mist and shattered a few bones without inflicting any further damage.
It didn’t take long for Lan Xiaobu to realize that his refined body was at play here.
He quickly began to operate the Taichuan Technique to break through to the Human Immortal realm.
He still had plenty of Rainbow Immortal Mushrooms, and he felt there was no need to use one right now.
The arcs of lightning striking him quickly transformed into lightning essence, which Lan Xiaobu absorbed as he began his ascent toward the Human Immortal realm.
Almost immediately, he sensed the blockade in his cultivation, the energy he commanded surged vigorously.
Crack! The barrier in cultivation developed cracks, and violent spiritual energy flooded in, being drawn in by Lan Xiaobu.
Another eighteen arcs of lightning struck down, but this time they were quickly followed by another eighteen arcs.
The second and third waves of lightning arcs were connected.
Lan Xiaobu felt some confusion, sensing that the boundary he was breaking through didn't seem to be the Human Immortal realm.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The continuous lightning arcs pounded down upon Lan Xiaobu, making him increasingly aware of how strong his body had become after reaching the third stage of Immortal Body.
The relentless arcs caused harm mainly to his skin and bones without any injury to his meridians or internal organs.
Just as the third wave of lightning tribulation concluded, the surrounding spiritual energy burst forth and completely broke through the barriers in Lan Xiaobu's cultivation.
It was as if the surrounding spiritual energy had found an outlet, all being drawn in by Lan Xiaobu.
His divine sense and true essence soared, but at that moment, the fourth, fifth, and sixth waves of lightning arcs descended.
All these three waves comprised nine arcs, which were thicker than the previous three waves combined.
At this point, Lan Xiaobu had already broken through the Void God realm, and beneath the explosive growth of his true essence and divine sense, all the descending lightning sources were absorbed and transformed into cultivation progress.
The nine waves of heavenly tribulations came swiftly and dissipated just as quickly.
While the spiritual clouds fell, Lan Xiaobu remained momentarily puzzled.
Fortunately, he quickly reacted to begin absorbing the spiritual resonance to stabilize his foundation.
Half a day later, Lan Xiaobu stood up, having easily crossed the tribulation to step into a new realm, and his cultivation had firmly stabilized.
Not only did he cross the tribulation smoothly, but he was also perplexed; he hadn’t advanced to the Human Immortal realm but had instead entered a completely new realm: the True God realm.
Lan Xiaobu's thoughts drifted to the cosmic matrix, and he saw the faint shadow of the first cosmic wall being constructed.
However, at this moment, he had no time to ponder that; he needed to examine the Taichuan Technique.
With the cosmic matrix, the Taichuan Technique now had a True God realm option.
It seemed that upon reaching the True God realm, only then did one approach the Human Immortal realm.
Lan Xiaobu was a bit taken aback; this implied that the Yuan Continent might not have any true Human Immortals at all? Were all Human Immortals actually at the True God realm? Moreover, he had leaped past the Alchemy realm directly into the Spirit Refinement realm.
Did this mean that the cultivation tiers in the Yuan Continent were incomplete?
(Today’s update ends here.
Good night, my friends!)
