Chapter 1773

Immortal Tribulation

Zhuo Wen took a deep breath and pinched the sword fingers on his right hand. Immediately, he pressed the Stone of Origin deep into his glabella.

The Fuxi Cauldron blasted away Xiao Hei and Cheng Huang's obstruction the instant the Origin Stone entered the golden sea of consciousness. It swept towards the Origin Stone and sucked it into the cauldron.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The moment the Fuxi Cauldron sucked in the Origin Stone, it emitted a rather intense buzzing sound. Then, it slowly quieted down and numerous ink-black rays of light twinkled around the cauldron.

Zhuowen silently observed the Fuxi Cauldron's transformation. He knew that the Fuxi Cauldron was relying on the Origin Energy from the Origin Stone to silently recover its condition.

Speaking of which, Zhuowen was quite eager to see how much the Fuxi Cauldron could recover.

After retracting his gaze, the auction on the stage continued. Xue Hui and Old Man Jue also made a few bids, but unfortunately, they did not have enough Immortal Crystals. Hence, they could only end up dejectedly.

The following auction items became more and more valuable. Most of them would easily cost more than a hundred thousand Immortal Crystals. Even Zhuowen could not fork out such a huge amount of Immortal Crystals. Hence, after watching for a while, Zhuowen lost interest.

Even though some of the following items were rather tempting, it was a pity that he did not have a hundred thousand Immortal Crystals on him. It was simply not enough to participate in the following auctions. Hence, Zhuowen left the box with Xue Hui and Old Man Jue, intending to leave this place.

After exiting the box, Ji Chenyan also walked out from next door. The two of them coincidentally bumped into each other.

Ji Chenyan sized up Zhuowen with her beautiful eyes and smiled. "Young master Zhuo, are you leaving the auction?"

Zhuowen nodded and said, "There shouldn't be a rule prohibiting us from leaving halfway, right?"

Ji Chenyan smiled sweetly. "Of course there isn't such a rule. If young master Zhuo wishes to leave, please follow me. I will bring you out."

Hearing this, Zhuowen did not refuse. Following Ji Chenyan's lead, he left the crystal tower.

"Master Zhou Yi asked me to pass on a message. He hopes that Young Master Zhuo will visit him more often in the future when you have the time!" Ji Chenyan whispered to Zhuowen as they walked out of the crystal tower.

Zhuowen nodded and said, "I understand. I'll take my leave now!"

Zhuowen cupped his fists towards Ji Chenyan and left the crystal tower. Ji Chenyan silently looked at the departing figure as her beautiful eyes flickered. She couldn't understand why Grandmaster Zhou Yi would treat Zhuowen so well!

Of course, if Ji Chenyan knew that Zhuowen had a complete set of Ancient Forbidden Arts, he wouldn't think so.

After leaving the crystal tower, Zhuowen, Xue Hui, and Old Man Jue Shang strolled around the celestial market for a while. Xue Hui and Old Man Jue Shang traded for treasures that they were satisfied with before leaving the celestial market with Zhuowen.

After returning to his residence, Zhuowen immediately closed the palace door and set up an extremely powerful defensive barrier inside the palace.

After doing all this, he took out the Violet Infant Leaf that looked like a baby from his spirit ring.

"This Violet Infant Leaf has the miraculous effect of harmonizing Yin and Yang. When the Yin and Yang energy is combined with this Violet Infant Leaf, I'm afraid that it will approach perfection. Then, I can safely absorb the Yin and Yang energy."

Zhuowen's eyes flickered as he took out the Yin and Yang energy from his spirit ring. He slowly poured the Yin and Yang energy into the Violet Infant Leaf. Then, Zhuowen realized that the Violet Infant Leaf actually let out a rare cry of a baby.

As the Yin and Yang energy continued to pour in, the cry became louder and louder. The surface of the Violet Infant Leaf emitted an extremely blazing purple light.

Moreover, Zhuowen could clearly feel that the moment the Yin and Yang energy entered the Violet Infant Leaf, its originally incomplete flaws were constantly being perfected under the effect of the Yin and Yang energy of the Violet Infant Leaf.

When the purple light on the surface of the Violet Infant Leaf reached its peak, the cry of the baby gradually subsided and finally disappeared. The Yin and Yang energy also completely entered the Violet Infant Leaf.

At this moment, the Violet Infant Leaf did not look like a leaf at all. Instead, it looked more like a newborn baby. Its entire body was filled with vitality.

"This Violet Infant Leaf has absorbed the Yin and Yang energy. I'm afraid that it has an unimaginable miraculous effect of increasing Celestial Yuan. It should be more than enough to help you advance to the Earthly Immortal Realm," Xiao Hei said indifferently in his sea of consciousness.

Zhuowen nodded. Then, he waved his sleeve and separated his Mental Energy Doppelganger. At the same time, he handed the tattered bamboo scroll that recorded the Exquisite Restriction and the yellow crystal that Zhou Yi had given him to his Mental Energy Doppelganger.

The yellow crystal contained Zhou Yi's lifetime of experience in the cultivation of mental power, while the bamboo scroll recorded the famous ancient taboo, the Exquisite Taboo.

Zhuowen was prepared to let his Mental Energy Doppelganger comprehend these two things. Perhaps his Mental Energy Doppelganger would be able to use this period of time to study the Exquisite Restriction and completely cultivate the Devouring Curse Restriction to greater completion.

After doing that, Zhuo Wen grabbed the Violet Infant Leaf with his right hand and placed it between his eyebrows. Immediately, dense Yin and Yang energy flowed into Zhuo Wen's body from between his eyebrows. After circulating through his meridians, it completely gathered into Zhuo Wen's dantian.

Moreover, after entering his dantian, the Yin and Yang energy formed a vortex. Strangely, extremely dense Celestial Yuan surged out from the vortex and began to accumulate in his dantian.

Zhuowen's eyes narrowed as he sensed the surging Celestial Yuan from the Violet Infant Leaf. He began to concentrate on refining the surging Celestial Yuan.

Time gradually passed. Half a month had passed. On this day, Shi Ji slowly opened his eyes in the secret room. Then, he seemed to have sensed something and could not help but look in the direction of the room next door. He said in a deep voice, "This aura is … Zhuowen?"

After speaking, Shi Ji suddenly stood up and disappeared from the secret room. When he reappeared, he was already outside Zhuowen's pavilion.

He saw that there were extremely strange and powerful fluctuations around Zhuowen's pavilion. As the fluctuations grew stronger, clusters of seven-colored auspicious clouds began to gather in the sky above the pavilion.

"Immortal Tribulation?

Is this kid about to break through? "

Shi Ji raised his head and looked at the seven-colored auspicious clouds that had begun to gather in the sky. A strange expression appeared in his eyes.

It was not just Shi Ji. Many experts at the Earthly Immortal Realm and above in the surroundings had spread their souls over. They began to investigate the exact situation. In particular, when they discovered the seven-colored auspicious clouds that had begun to gather in the sky, it caused waves of commotion and surprise.

Powerful souls entered Zhuowen's pavilion one after another in an attempt to investigate the exact situation in the depths of the pavilion. However, all of them were swept away by Shi Ji with a sweep of his sleeve.

"If anyone dares to disturb Zhuowen's breakthrough by using their souls to investigate, then don't blame me for holding them accountable."

Shi Ji coldly snorted. Wherever the sound wave passed, a series of circular ripples surged in the air. Many Divine Senses were forced back by Shi Ji, not daring to approach the loft where Zhuo Wen was.

Moreover, Shi Ji's reputation had already been established in the matter of the Master of Taiyin. Hence, after receiving Shi Ji's warning, many of the owners of souls withdrew their souls and did not dare to continue investigating.

More and more seven-colored auspicious clouds gathered. At this moment, Zhuo Wen sat cross-legged on a cushion in the depths of the pavilion. The purple light from the Violet Infant Leaf between his brows was extremely dim. The originally strange purple color had completely vanished.

However, the aura on Zhuowen's body was like a ferocious beast. It surged more and more and became more and more terrifying. The aura was so terrifying that it practically shot into the sky. It was as if the sky was about to collapse because of it.

Zhuo Wen abruptly opened his eyes. The Violet Infant Leaf between his eyebrows began to crumble, turning into purple powder. His eyes were exceptionally bright at this moment.

"The Immortal Tribulation has descended …"

Zhuowen murmured softly. Then, he took a step forward and appeared outside the pavilion.

He glanced at Shi Ji, who was not far away. After nodding at him, his gaze landed on the seven-colored auspicious clouds in the sky that were constantly gathering seven-colored lightning tribulation.

"The seven-colored lightning tribulation is no longer as threatening to me as it was in the past."

Zhuowen licked his lips. Then, he kicked the air with his right foot. His entire body shot towards the seven-colored auspicious clouds in the sky like a shuttle.

Shi Ji could not help but narrow his eyes when he saw this scene. The other cultivators who were still watching in the surroundings all exclaimed in surprise.

"This kid is actually planning to charge into the seven-colored auspicious clouds. Is he courting death?"

"This kid is crazy. The seven-colored lightning tribulation should be treated with caution. Instead, this kid is directly charging in recklessly. He's a little too arrogant."

"… …"

Many cultivators discussed animatedly. There were even some who sneered. However, Shi Ji frowned slightly. He did not stop Zhuowen's seemingly foolish actions.

He knew very well that with Zhuowen's character, he would not seek his own death.

It seems that this kid is very confident in the seven-colored lightning tribulation. Forget it. If this kid can't withstand it, I can only help him, Shi Ji thought to himself.

Rumble!

When Zhuowen approached the seven-colored auspicious clouds in the sky, countless seven-colored lightning tribulations emerged from the seven-colored auspicious clouds. The seven-colored lightning tribulations were densely packed and began to gather into countless thunderbolts. Then, they suddenly struck down and blasted in front of Zhuowen.

Zhuowen's eyes were cold. Then, his entire body began to glow with a dark gold color. The dark gold color became more and more vigorous. Then, nine strange golden runes appeared.

The nine golden runes floated around Zhuowen's body. They began to rotate in an extremely orderly manner, forming a powerful golden defense.

Since Zhuowen's Divine Body had been promoted to the Perfection Realm, the First Mountain God had also promoted the Nine Turn Golden Crack Rune in the Divine Body to the peak.

Originally, the Divine Body could only display three Nine Turn Golden Crack Runes. However, Zhuowen could display nine Nine Turn Golden Crack Runes now. The defense formed by the runes was so strong that it was enough to defend against an all-out attack from a Peak Earthly Immortal Realm warrior.

Bang! Bang! Bang!
