Chapter 134 – The Mystery of Heavenly Tribulation

Chapter 134 – The Mystery of Heavenly Tribulation

"Just now, I felt that Young Master Ye Luo's inner demons suddenly increased, almost causing his Dao heart to collapse. Then, his inner demons suddenly dissipated, and his Dao cultivation actually improved quite a bit."

Wutong, the young girl, came to Su Yun's side and looked at the distant figure of Young Master Ye Luo, asking in confusion, "How can someone's Dao heart suddenly fall into inner demons and then suddenly ascend to the extreme? When one's Dao heart collapses, they will only crumble and be unable to recover..."

She had encountered this situation too many times, such as Tong Qingluo in the Jiehui City who gradually fell into inner demons.

People like Young Master Ye Luo, who rose to greater heights from their fall, were rare.

Su Yun looked at her kindly, like he was looking at a moving green rainbow crab covered in green coins. He said calmly, "I taught him a lesson, and he suddenly understood everything. He even said he'll pay to help us repair the Ge Wu Academy. Wutong, if I teach you a lesson, maybe you won't be a demon anymore."

Wutong rolled her eyes at him, charmingly.

As her gaze swept over him, Su Yun felt the world around him disappear, leaving only Wutong behind. The red veil behind the young girl seemed like long rainbows, covering the sky.

"Senior Brother, don't get too cocky. I didn't really lose to you. I haven't even used my true abilities yet."

Wutong, barefoot, walked towards him through the red veil, saying softly, "Right now, you can only take my ordinary attacks."

Su Yun thought of the scars he saw on the dragon bones in the Zang Long Tomb when he and Hua Hu and the others dug them out, feeling a chill in his heart.

He circulated his qi and blood, breaking the illusion that Wutong had created for him. The red veil and Wutong disappeared, and he saw Wutong standing not far from him.

"I admire your ability to kill a dragon with your bare hands. But the technique I used to defeat you is my true technique, and it is just an ordinary attack from me."

Su Yun reminded her, "You know that my strongest ability is swordsmanship."

Wutong felt a chill in her heart and thought of his sword strike. She snorted and suddenly asked curiously, "Who is hidden in your spiritual world? I feel a sense of familiarity, like someone I killed in the past."

Su Yun didn't answer and said, "You can think about it slowly. Oh, and remember to pay me back."

Wutong watched him leave and gritted her teeth in hatred. Suddenly, she burst out laughing, "Whoever died at my hands obviously couldn't beat me. No need to worry."

In Su Yun's spiritual world, the book monster Ying Ying sat on the big yellow clock, observing the various imprints on the clock and warning, "Su Shi, don't underestimate the people from the Ge Wu Academy."

Su Yun nodded, "Don't worry, I won't underestimate anyone, whether they are human or demon. Anyone who can kill a dragon alone is probably stronger than a Saint in the original Dao realm. Even if they have died once, they are still not to be underestimated!"

"I'm not just talking about humans and demons. There's also Ye Luo."

Ying Ying drilled into the interior of the clock and said, "He entered the Tian Dao Academy before you and was appointed as the envoy of the Shuo Fang region. Naturally, he has his unique qualities. He can be the stepping stone for you to challenge the two Imperial Teachers. Besides Ye Luo, you must also have a battle with Bai Yuelou! He is the mediator for you to understand the two Imperial Teachers."

Su Yun followed her into the interior of the clock. He was very familiar with the structure inside, and all the gears were set up by him to make the seven time scales of the clock run smoothly.

But Ying Ying wasn't looking at the gear structure, but at the imprints on the inner wall of the clock.

The imprints on the clock were divided into two layers, with the outer layer being the thirty-six martial arts techniques such as the Dragon Roar and the Sun and Moon Stacked Wall, while the inner layer was the patterns formed by the Indigo Dragon and the Glutton.

"Your combat skills are much inferior to Di Ping's. After mastering the spiritual realm, you have had too few battles, while Di Ping is a talented figure who rose from within the aristocratic families after bloody selection!"

Book monster Ying Ying took out a book from somewhere and walked among the gears, observing while writing and drawing on the book, saying, "Too little battle experience will likely cause you to have vulnerabilities that you are not aware of. Therefore, you need to fight! You need to measure the best size of Huang Zhong in battle!"

Su Yun's heart moved slightly, and he said confidently, "I have a way to solve this! What I lack the least now is probably the life and death struggle."

He walked outside the academy, and the spiritual being and book monster Ying Ying continued to discuss.

Ying Ying brought the book outside and floated in front of the Huang Zhong, saying, "Also, your skills and methods have never been systematic, and there are many gaps in the markings on Huang Zhong. I will help you organize the spiritual framework and martial arts framework on your Huang Zhong, and then find the six basic martial arts that are most suitable for you from the foundation techniques of the academy's literature pavilion."

"These six basic martial arts can fill the gaps in your Huang Zhong markings and make your foundation perfect. With a perfect foundation, your roots will be thicker and your foundation deeper."

Ying Ying closed the book and asked sternly, "I want you to completely cultivate these six basic martial arts within one day and reach the level of branding them on Huang Zhong! Can you do it?"

Su Yun nodded, "No problem!"

Ying Ying said again, "You just told the human and demon that Huang Zhong is just an ordinary attack, and your strongest is swordsmanship. I want to see your swordsmanship."

Su Yun blushed and said awkwardly, "I lied to her. This swordsmanship is not my spiritual power..."

Ying Ying said, "Once you learn it, it is yours. I need to see your swordsmanship with my own eyes."

Su Yun gritted his teeth, sat on Huang Zhong, and roughly explained the cause and effect of learning the Immortal Sword to Slay the Dragon. "The reason why I can learn this swordsmanship is that when I was learning the Honglu Change, I encountered the Immortal Sword killing the Jiao Dragon, and I always thought of the sword that killed the Jiao Dragon. I had countless nightmares, dreaming that I turned into a Jiao Dragon and died under the sword."

He concealed the world behind the Heavenly Gate and the Immortal Map, and Ying Ying did not ask further, after all, everyone has their own secrets.

She just listened to it as a story.

Su Yun said again, "After I learned the Immortal Ape's Qi Cultivation, I also dreamed of turning into a monster and being killed by the Immortal Sword during the tribulation. I also dreamed of turning into a Bi Fang, a Ying Long, a Tao Tie, and a Qiong Qi. But no matter what I turned into, I couldn't avoid this sword. Over time, I learned this swordsmanship, and..."

Su Yun looked strange and scratched his head, "And, it seems that I am getting more and more proficient in this swordsmanship. This is probably because a long illness becomes a doctor."

"But when you use this move, you still feel that one day you will face this sword yourself, and you cannot avoid this move. You will also die under the sword like the Immortal Ape and the Jiao Dragon, right?" Ying Ying asked.

Su Yun nodded repeatedly. Ying Ying stood on Huang Zhong, walking around him, saying, "Your dreams may not be dreams, you may dream of the Heavenly Tribulation. There are some very ancient books in the literature pavilion that record many incredible things."

She stopped and said solemnly, "The Book of Narratives records such a story. In ancient times, after the world was destroyed, a demon dragon cultivated to a very high level. Suddenly, the heavenly tribulation appeared. In the heavenly tribulation, an Immortal Sword appeared and killed the demon dragon."

Su Yun was stunned. This was almost exactly the same as the scene he saw in the Immortal Map!"There is a similar story in the Records of Lost Items. It is said that the author of the Records encountered a bird's nest in the immortal mountain, and inside the nest was a Zen master who was very elegant and extraordinary in speech. The Zen master told the author that he was a phoenix and that he was going to Nirvana and ascend to the fairy realm today. The author watched from the side. However, when the Zen master was in Nirvana, suddenly thunder roared and a fairy sword fell from the sky in the lightning!"

The book monster Ying Ying's face was solemn: "The author saw that the Zen master turned into a colorful phoenix in the thunder and rose up, fought against the fairy sword, fought for three rounds, and died under the sword. The fairy sword disappeared without a trace."

Her face became more serious, and suddenly flew to Su Yun's spiritual face, holding Su Yun's face and solemnly said: "I suspect you are a monster or some kind of divine beast! You will also encounter heavenly tribulation in the future and encounter that fairy sword!"

Su Yun laughed and beckoned a mountain carriage to stop, saying to the coachman, "Go to Jiuyuan Academy."

The mountain carriage set off.

"Don't laugh, I'm serious!"

The book monster Ying Ying said angrily: "Human cultivation does not have heavenly tribulation, only monsters or divine beasts will encounter heavenly tribulation in their cultivation. You dreamt of these things, you must be a monster or divine beast, but you just don't know it!"

Su Yun laughed and said, "I heard others call my sword technique 'Immortal Art', what does that mean? Can it be used to deal with Di Ping?"

"Of course!"

Ying Ying said, "The purpose of the Great Unity technique is to imitate the immortal technique, and strive to achieve the cultivation and magical powers of immortals. If you can really display the Immortal Art, it would be the best. However, I still need to see the quality of your Immortal Art! When will you use this move, let me see?"

"Soon." Su Yun looked out the window and smiled.

Zuo Songyan looked from afar, and saw Su Yun boarding a mountain carriage and driving towards the academy. His face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Master Tu Ming, Idle Cloud! Hurry up and ask where this kid is going!"

Master Tu Ming and Idle Cloud Taoist were about to fly to intercept the mountain carriage, but Zuo Songyan couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward!

"Boom!"

There was a thunderous sound in the sky, and a gust of wind blew by. Zuo Songyan disappeared without a trace!

Idle Cloud and Master Tu Ming were stunned on the spot: "This old man can't sit still anymore!"

Master Tu Ming's eyes were full of killing intent, and he whispered, "Idle Cloud, call someone!"

Idle Cloud Taoist flew up and turned into a white crane in mid-air, flying away with a swish.

Zuo Songyan was furious, rushing towards the mountain carriage, gritting his teeth and thinking, "This kid, there are hidden dangers in Shuofang City, the seven major families have already laid a trap, targeting us! The head of the Ge Wu Academy has been lured and killed, dead in the desert outside the Great Wall! What else does he want to do?"

"No, something's wrong!"

He suddenly stopped, his face changing: "The envoy is not that simple! Every move he makes has a deep meaning! He will definitely not act recklessly! What does he want to do..."

On the mountain carriage, Su Yun said leisurely, "Jiuyuan Academy is an industry of the Wen family. I plan to visit the Wen family. I think there are not a few people in the Wen family who want to kill me. After visiting the seven major families, my combat experience should be comparable to Di Ping's, right?"
