Even if their True Qi was insufficient, it was not a problem, as endless True Qi was surrounding them.
At this moment, they were like True Qi converters, absorbing the Qi around them and injecting it into the Yin Yang Fish. Even though their tendons and veins were being damaged by the rampaging Qi, they didn't care.
When everything reached a critical point, the Taoist Qingxu was aware that they couldn't hold on for much longer.
At that moment, his True Qi was flowing wildly. He formed seals with his hands and muttered incantations:
"Heaven and Earth are limitless, Universe lends its power. Supreme Mysterious Genesis… Today I confer Qing Shi and Bai Shi to be the honorary gods protecting Taihe Mountain. Thus decrees from the Supreme!"
"Decreed!"
A Taoist seal was shot out, directly hitting the two Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish.
Boom!
The attractiveness of the Yin Yang Fish Millstone reached its peak. After being hit by the seal, there was no more resistance, they broke free from the control of Qing Shi and Bai Shi, flew up into the air, and collided together.
An endless burst of light spread in all directions. The subtle and profound black and white glow, with Taihe Mountain as its center, spread throughout the world. Almost everyone saw this scene, enshrouded by this light, unable to escape.
In an instant, everyone including Pei Xuanjing was momentarily stunned, as if heaven and earth had stopped at this moment. There was no concept of time and space, everything was frozen.
In the eyes of Qingxu and others, it seemed that the heaven and earth became even clearer. They seemed to feel a slight increase in their cultivation through this veil of light.
Maybe due to condensation of the Yin Spirit, Pei Xuanjing benefited more than the others. With the help of the Yin Spirit's power, he gathered the entire heaven and earth into his sight at this moment. The principles of heaven and earth's operation, everything was so clear, it was intoxicating.
Pei Xuanjing's mind was utterly clear. Discarding all other thoughts, he fell silent into the principles of the heaven and earth.
The doubts he initially had about martial arts skills and laws were all solved in this current moment. There was no confusion, truly reaching the state where understanding one law leads to the understanding of all laws.
His Yin Spirit became even more condensed, more refined.
Countless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi began to rush into his body. His whole body was like a black hole whirlpool, drawing in the Essence Qi of heaven and earth. His entire bodv seemed to have turned into a void.
The consumption of heavenly and earthly essence was replenished in an instant, and it was even more refined and deeper than before.
While everyone was engrossed in cultivation, the heavens changed once again, more fierce and more unimaginable than before.
If the previous changes were stormy seas, then the current rolling display in the heavens was like the Heavenly River above the ninth heaven pouring down, unstoppable.
Even the dome of the sky outside the region with no array foundation began to change. Wind and Thunder gathered, lightning flickered and vanished.
Boom Boom Boom!
At this moment, everyone in this heaven and earth seemed to hear this thunderous sound.
It was supposed to be midday, when the sun was high in the sky, but in an instant clouds covered the sky, casting a darkness as if it were night.
In a blink of an eye, countless bright stars appeared in the dark night. The stars were linked like an immense galaxy hanging high in the sky, after which numerous stars fell from the sky.
At this time, all the powerful beings in the heaven and earth felt it. In a trance, it seemed as if the image of a divine dragon was forming in the entire territory of the Great Ming Empire. Countless Qi Luck converged, the divine dragon roamed within the dominion of the Great Ming, roaring towards the sky.
Roar!
A dragon's roar that shook the sky rang in everyone's ears.
The emperor, who had been astonished by the changes in the sky, shook all over. As the emperor of the Great Ming Empire, his relationship with the empire was more intimate than anyone else's. He clearly saw the Golden Dragon representing the Qi Luck of the royal family emerging in the capital city.
Moments later, an almost visible sea of Qi Luck convened above the capital of the Great Ming Empire. The Luck Golden Dragon roared and numerous Qi Luck converged towards Taihe Mountain.
"This direction is Taihe Mountain?"
"What on earth is the True Martial Sect doing?"
"Drawing on so much Qi Luck, is the True Martial Sect planning to rebel?"
Undoubtedly, when so much Qi Luck was converged towards the True Martial Sect, everyone understood that this was the action of the True Martial Sect. After all, apart from them, no other power had such strength and qualifications.
On Taihe Mountain, Pei Xuanjing suddenly stood up, leaving the Mysterious Iron Pillar below his feet. Qingyang Zi, who had been waiting for a long time, also rose to fill the vacancy.
Originally, with Qingyang Zi's strength, he was not qualified to guard one side alone. However, because the True Qi had already formed a cycle at this moment, he did not need to input any Qi but only needed to suppress a pillar.
Pei Xuanjing's True Qi fluctuated. Suspended in the air using the wind, he incredibly used the endless True Qi to cross the sky.
The power of the Yin Spirit spread in all directions. His hands slowly moved, attracting thousands of Qi mechanisms. Qi Luck was swirling around him. He spoke slowly, "Today, Pei Xuanjing of the Shenxiao Sect, borrows the power of all living beings, only to break the shackles and revive heaven and earth." Boom!
As Pei Xuanjing released all his Yin Spirit's power, disregarding the fact that he could trigger the Thunder Tribulation, the sky trembled. Numerous thunderbolts exploded in the sky, and electrical snakes danced wildly. It seemed like ghostly deities were weeping.
And with these countless mechanisms and Qi Luck, Pei Xuanjing's words directly echoed in the hearts of countless people.
Originally, with Pei Xuanjing's strength, even if the Yin Spirit steps into the spirit Realm, It woma not De poss1D1e to nave sucn momentum.
However, sometimes, as the saying goes, "Time and nature aid the endeavor." At this moment, Pei Xuanjing's intention shook the sky, and it mysteriously connected with the fate of heaven, thus achieving this effect.
"Brother Pei!"
Zhao Baiyang's eyes moved. After hearing Pei Xuanjing's words, he was first stunned and then seemed to guess what he was planning to do.
He laughed heartily, roared to the sky: "Today, I will lend you a hand."
He waved his sleeves, formed seals with both hands, and the martial arts True Spirit was released without constraint. His True Qi fluctuated, he punched towards the sky, and an invisible surging air surged into the sky, soaring into the heavens.
In the Demonic Cult, Xue Wuheng stood at the top of a mountain. After hearing Pei Xuanjing's words, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Since you have such a big wish, how can I refuse."
Pei Xuanjing intended to break the shackles of heaven and earth, which naturally was something he desired. At this critical moment, he would absolutely not hinder.
As soon as the words fell, he released his momentum with all his strength. The surging energy around him rose straight into the sky, converging upwards.
Inside the Imperial City, Prince of Xiang Zhu Yousong, who had stepped out from the secluded palace, was solemn. He whispered to himself: "Is this your real purpose?"
He didn't refuse at all. The Imperial Realm Worldly Skill circulated in his body. A golden aura, no less inferior to Zhao Baiyang's, shot straight into the sky..
Within Tiandu, Wang Boan who was originally engrossed in reading looked at the shocking celestial phenomenon with a complex expression. Eventually, he sighed lightly and released his powerful aura from within. This startled all the powerful individuals within Tiandu. They had never expected Wang Boan to be a supremely powerful martial artist.
Northwest Dao, the Tie Sect, Tie Qianshan…
Heavenly King's Pavilion, Zi Tianxiong…
North Zen Sect, South Chan Sect, and all the large family houses…
All the formidable figures across the Great Ming territory released their auras and chose to lend a hand to Pei Xuanjing at this moment.
Millions of people unite, working together for a common cause.
Pei Xuanjing felt as if an infinite power was being bestowed upon him at this moment, as if thousands of rivers were rushing into the sea, converging into one.
He stood in midair, his robe rustling in the wind. He was enveloped in a purple-gold radiance and appeared solemn, reverent, and pure, resembling a divine being.
Surprisingly, Pei Xuanjing was unusually calm at this moment. He slowly lifted both of his hands, a power capable of moving mountains and filling oceans exhibited in his every action.
Whoosh whoosh.
The violent wind howled and the thunder roared. Pei Xuanjing's loud voice echoed between heaven and earth.
"For thousands of years after the Tang Dynasty, the heaven and earth shackled us, causing countless strong individuals to yearn for progress on their path.
Today, I, Long Lite Son trom Shenxiao Sect, desire to break the chains ot heaven and earth by gathering the power of all living beings, opening the path to the Spirit Realm for all Martial Artists."
Pei Xuanjing extended his right hand and countless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi merged together, slowly forming an austere sword illusion in his hand. His five fingers grasped the handle with a terrifying power accumulating atop it, the dreadful atmosphere radiating all around.
Pei Xuanjing held nothing back at this moment. His True Qi, Yin Spirit, and physical body were all operating to their utmost limits as he thrust out his sword, letting out a thunderous bang.
Hum!
The dazzling beam of sword light surged out, heading towards the sky.
In an instant, countless radiant beams of sword light coalesced to form a sword beam that was many times larger than before, almost spanning across the entire sky. The uninterrupted Heaven and Earth Essence Qi encircled the sword beam, gaining substance in an instant.
Like a rainbow piercing the sun, it dashed towards the vault of heaven, the dazzling light seemingly capable of cutting the sky in two.
Bang!
The sword light ascended from Taihe Mountain, pierced the vault of heaven, and cut through the dismal sky. Infinite energy waves rolled and scattered everywhere, sharp beyond compare, with nothing to hinder it.
At this moment, it appeared as though this single strike had turned into eternity, only to remain between heaven and earth in the vast universe.
Within the Great Ming Territory, everyone seemed to have witnessed this strike. Many lost their voices at the sight of this godly strike and were at a loss as to what to say.
Boom!
The ethereal Qi and Qi Luck accelerated, gathering around the sword light, making it seem even more divine and awe-inspiring.
Crack!
Near everyone's ears, a crisp sound could be heard.
The sky… broke!
Visible to the naked eye, the vault of heaven seemed as though it had been shattered. Countless cracks materialized, soon followed by countless fragments, falling from the sky.
Boom…
Atop countless famous mountains and great rivers, it felt like numerous constraints had been shattered, each producing a tremendous rumbling sound. Next, the boundless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi burst forth like a tide.
"Heaven and Earth Essence Qi…"
"It's a success!"
"The revival of Heaven and Earth have begun!"
While everyone was cheering, the individuals on Taihe Mountain went back to their places. This time as the focus of the array, they had greatly benefited from the revival of Heaven and Earth.
"I wonder if the enfeoffment was successful this time."
They haven't forgotten the other purpose of this time. Everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes towards the two elders of Zhenwu Sect sitting at the center of the array, Taoist Qingshi, and Taoist Baishi.
Hiss!
Everyone involuntarily gasped in surprise.
Originally, the life forces of these two were dwindling, with white hair, frail bodies, declining Blood Qi, and lackluster spirits.
But now, the state of these two had undergone an earth-shattering transformation. Their originally white hair had turned black, their withered skin plumped up once more, and their Blood Qi became vigorous. Although the two were not awake yet, they radiated rich vitality and no longer gave off a sense of decay.
Besides, both of them emanated a different aura, as if they were in harmony with the principles of heaven and earth.
"Did they succeed?"
"But from their aura, it seems they've only improved a bit and have yet to break through?"
"According to the information we initially received, this enfeoffment method is incomplete; it can only extend life but can't enhance one's capabilities too much."
"Just an extension of life, that's already quite amazing."
Everyone started discussing amongst themselves, waiting for the two to wake up and then ask questions.
What nobody noticed was that in Pei Xuanjing's eyes, a divine light flashed, and a voice emerged in his mind:
[Newly born Heaven God, Refining can grant 100000 points of Taoyun.]
Huh?
Pei Xuanjing was shocked in his heart. Such a prompt from the simulator undoubtedly meant that these two successfully became God spirits. What astonished him was the Taoyun contained in these God spirits could also be refined.
It's just a pity.
In his heart, Pei Xuanjing decisively refused this method.
He simply sat down, absorbing and refining the Taoyun that was scattering around. He didn't harbor any thoughts of refining the two of them.
Seeing Pei Xuanjing doing this, everyone else also realized this was a good cultivation opportunity. They each sat down to cultivate, drawing from the Taoyun of the two newly born God spirits.
Taoyun, in essence, is the principles of heaven and earth. Even though others didn't have a simulator, they could still cultivate using this rich Taoyun.
For a while, the atmosphere atop Taihe Mountain was entirely absorbed in cultivation.
No one knew how long it had been before the two individuals in the center ended their cultivation. The Taoyun around them slowly disappeared, and everyone woke up from their meditation.
Just as they were about to say something, they noticed that Pei Xuanjing's brows were slightly furrowed. He spoke loudly to everyone: "Everyone, please leave quickly."
"Huh?" They were puzzled, wondering what Pei Xuanjing wanted to do.
However, at this moment, a terrifying aura suddenly appeared above their heads in the sky.
A myriad of thunders converged together. The previously clear sky suddenly turned gloomy, covered by dark clouds blocking the sunlight, the thunder roared, and lightning shook the sky.
Everyone's faces changed color. They hurriedly moved away from Pei Xuanjing.
Yin Shen Thunder Tribulation!
He never expected that the revival of Heaven and Earth, coupled with the accidental enhacement of his Yin God Spirit from cultivation with Taoyun, would trigger the Thunder Tribulation.
At present, his Yin Spirit had reached its peak and was completely locked onto by the Thunder Tribulation. Even if he wanted to hide, it would be impossible.
Since there was no way to avoid it, he might as well confront it directly!
Pei Xuanjing was silent, he sat down and entered a state of emptiness, his Yin Shen Spirit emanating outward, preparing to face the Thunder Tribulation head on.
Boom…
Countless thunders roared as Pei Xuanjing's Yin Shen spirit appeared..
Dark clouds covered the sky above, thunder rumbled, and lightning danced wildly, appearing and disappearing into an abyss. Just the terrifyingly formidable aura was enough to turn the expressions of the Taoist Qingxu and Old Master of Heaven, watching from a distance, utterly pale.
At the moment when Pei Xuanjing's Yin Spirit manifested itself, the ferocity of the thunder and lightning intensified beyond belief, as if harboring the power to bring about Armageddon.
Bolts of flashing lightning, followed by deafening claps of thunder, mixed together in a chaotic symphony.
Taoist Qingxu speculated in his heart that such a ferocious force could perhaps move the age-old Taihe Mountain from its millennia-long resting place.
At this moment, Pei Xuanjing was undistracted. His Yin Spirit left his body and floated a hundred feet above his head in the open air.
In an instant, he felt an immense pressure. The surrounding thunder and lightning seemed to have enough power to split his Yin Spirit into pieces, reducing it to ashes.
Just then, a bolt of Heavenly Thunder struck towards Pei Xuanjing's Yin Spirit.
Sizzle…
A trace of electricity flowed into his entire Yin Spirit. Despite lacking a physical form, it made him feel a tingling sensation, as if his hair was standing on end.
However, these tingling sensations were negligible for Pei Xuanjing, who was accustomed to Thunder Forging Body; they were nothing worth mentioning.
Pei Xuanjing's Yin Spirit sat cross-legged in midair, and after the Thunder Struck, his Yin Spirit did not move a thread. The purple-green light spread evenly over his Yin Spirit, standing firm as a rock despite the downpour of the Heavenly Thunder.
Simultaneously, streaks of purple-green light flowed around him, forming intricate patterns, and his Yin Spirit became somewhat crystal clear.
Pei Xuanjing roared, and his Yin Spirit emitted a resonating sound like a big bell. The thunder around him dissipated and fully integrated into his Yin Spirit.
At this moment, he felt his Yin Spirit becoming stronger than before, showing a noticeable improvement.
"Come!"
His Yin Spirit waved his arms and took the initiative to attack. With a sweep of his fingers through the void, countless bolts of lightning charged towards his Yin Spirit.
As his Yin Spirit moved, he struck several palms in succession, creating boundless power resonating in the void, taming the lightning and holding it in his hand, before opening his mouth to swallow it whole.
The sound of shooting electricity could be heard from within his Yin Spirit while it seemed to shatter slightly.
Suppress!
Pei Xuanjing was not afraid at all, his skill circled and though his Yin Spirit's strength fluctuated, he forcefully tamed the thunder within his body.
Countless bursts of energy exploded around him amidst constant thunderclaps, but he did not have the slightest idea of giving up.
Whoosh whoosh…
After a moment, Pei Xuanjing refined the thunder. His Yin Spirit became clearer, stronger and fuller.
The Yin SDirit was crvstal clear like iade. incrediblv robust. and seemed real.
At this moment, Pei Xuanjing felt his Yin Spirit become as exceptionally powerful as when he initially entered the Upper Three Realms through physical body cultivation.
"Is this the Energy of Creation from the Thunder Tribulation?" Pei Xuanjing murmured to himself.
He could feel that after the thunder tempered his Yin Spirit, impurities within his Yin Spirit were purged, making it more pure and stable.
If so, let the thunder come even more ferociously!
His Yin Spirit moved again, rising hundreds of feet higher, closer to the thunder. Once again, countless bolts of lightning fell. Pei Xuanjing wore a smirk, summoned his skill, and without any hesitation, swallowed these bolts of lightning, making them his own.
After an unknown amount of time, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the thunder ceased.
Pei Xuanjing's Yin Spirit was standing in the void, his body gleaming crystal clear, emanating an abhorrent aura.
With a shift in thought, his Yin Spirit returned to his body.
"Huh?" he suddenly noticed, after his Yin Spirit returned to his body, his Yin Spirit's energy dispersed throughout his body, making his control over his body even sharper.
His Yin Spirit could accurately observe every inch of his body. Even though he had gone through a bone replacement transformation once and his body was near perfect, he still discovered many deficiencies and flaws at this moment.
The moment Pei Xuanjing opened his eyes, divine light flickered in his pupils, emanating a terrifying aura that startled the hearts of Taoist Qingxu and the others from afar.
He waited as Pei Xuanjing's formidable aura receded, until he returned to his original harmless appearance.
"Congratulations, Taoist friend, for safely transcending the Thunder
Tribulation, making great progress in your skills and truly stepping into the Spirit Realm, distinguishing yourself from the Mortal Realm." The group congratulated Pei Xuanjing one after another.
Their tone was laden with undisguised envy.
Even though Martial Artists of the Mortal Realm live only up to four 60 -year cycles, consuming extraordinary treasures that can prolong life even if they have no hidden injuries, their lifespans won't exceed more than 250 years.
However, once a person steps into the Spirit Realm, not only does their strength significantly increase, their lifespan also experiences a substantial increase. Moreover, Pei Xuanjing was the first to breakthrough in the way of Refining Spirit.
Legend has it that cultivators who condense Yin Spirit could, even when their lifespan ends, choose transmigration at the last moment of their life and start over.
Even though such transmigration and reincarnation could be hindered by the possibility of "pregnancy confusion," it usually won't cause any issues due to the retained wisdom carried within. When cultivating for the second time, it's expected to be smooth sailing, and stepping into the Spirit Realm would be nearly guaranteed.
There's always a trade-off in life.
It could be said that among the cultivation of the spirit, qi, and body, initially entering the Spirit Realm through the way of Refining Spirit may make one the weakest in terms of combat power. However, it also makes one the most mysterious, and the chance of reincarnation exceeds that of cultivators pursuing the other two paths.
"The path of cultivation is long and arduous, and I have just taken a step ahead," Pei Xuanjing humbly replied with a smile. He then added, "With the revival of Heaven and Earth, and the diverse resources and experiences accumulated by all, I believe it won't be long before everyone will be able to step into the Spirit Realm."
Pei Xuanjing was right. Although he had stepped into the Spirit Realm earlier with the help of a life simulator, he was only slightly ahead.
These people before him were able to reach the pinnacle of martial arts under the bindings of heaven and earth. Their talents and comprehension were excellent, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were one in a million.
If Heaven and Earth had not revived, they might have been stuck here for their entire lives.
But now that the binding of Heaven and Earth has been broken, and no further restraints are holding them back, entering the Spirit Realm is only a matter of time as they concentrate on their cultivation.
"Hahaha… Then let's hope your auspicious words come true," the group laughed.
The hearty laughter echoed throughout the mountain peak.
Now that the restraints of Heaven and Earth have been shattered, there was nothing holding them back. As Pei Xuanjing rightly mentioned, without such confidence, why would they have bothered to come in the first place?
Pei Xuanjing also laughed heartily, feeling the rich Heaven and Earth Essence Qi around him, his heart filled with happiness.
Reflecting on his 34 years in this world, he had finally shattered his restraints today, soaring from a small fish to becoming a dragon, breaking free from the Mortal Realm.
From now on, he could travel anywhere in the world.
Who in the world could stop him from roaming freely?
"Huh?" At the moment when Pei Xuanjing was brimming with ambition, a sound rang in his mind:
[Host has advanced to the Spirit Realm, Life Simulator transformation beginning..]
