"Senior brother, something terrible has happened..."

When the Daoist of Vacuum saw the manifestation of the Primordial Demon Heavenly Palace, he seemed to suddenly realize something.

His expression immediately changed drastically, and he quickly turned around and flew towards the depths of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, flashing into the unpredictable space-time.

However, his anxious words came to an abrupt end.

He looked up and saw no one under the twin tree fern.

Unbeknownst to many, even the somewhat hazy and illusory Mount Jietian now appears incredibly clear.

Seeing this, how could the Vacuum Daoist not know what was going on?

So his "good senior brother" not only ran away and made a quick getaway, but also cut off all contact with Fangcun Mountain.

"You beast! You're unworthy to be a son!"

The Vacuum Daoist, his face contorted in anger, uttered a curse, then hesitated for about half a breath.

Then he stomped his foot, and vanished into thin air as a phantom.

Meanwhile, Ning Shuangrong, witnessing the terrifying phenomenon of the "Purple Heaven Divine Thunder," was also filled with anxiety.

He immediately sent a message to his master, but received no response.

They tried to consult with Master Zhenkong again, but could not find him anywhere.

Unaware that the two had already "collapsed and fled," Ning Shuangrong could only fulfill her duty as the "last" Yuan Shen Dao Jun of Fangcun Mountain and take over the mountain-protecting formation.

"Boom!"

At the same time, in the outer sky.

A terrifying, world-destroying aura had already locked onto Bai Cang.

A vast and mighty purple aura surged forth, seemingly intent on instantly killing him.

Seeing this scene.

Bai Cang dared not be negligent, and immediately activated his innate immortal technique, "Phoenix Law".

"Bah!"

The next moment.

A clear sound rang out, like birdsong, like celestial music, rising from low to high, and turning nine times.

The sound is initially gentle and low, then gradually rises to a high and deep tone, resounding like a great bell or a musical scale.

It was as if all the music in the world was playing at the same time.

Ultimately, they converged into a thunderous phoenix cry that resounded throughout the heavens and the earth, across the four corners of the world.

At the same time, just as the phoenix cried out in the heavens, the vast purple aura suddenly stopped flowing and ceased its forward surge.

Moreover, there were slight signs of illusion appearing.

It seems to want to dissipate, yet it remains steadfast.

"This is... a secret technique for transcending tribulation?"

Upon hearing the sound of the phoenix crying in the nine heavens, Gan Ying Daojun seemed to realize something, and his expression immediately changed drastically.

But the next moment, seeing that the vast purple aura had not dissipated, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and sneered repeatedly, "No wonder you dare to be so arrogant, it turns out you have a tribulation-crossing secret technique."

But a single tribulation-crossing technique is no match for the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning; the young man is naive!

Unless someone disregards their own path and abandons the methods of protecting their path, forcibly elevating the tribulation-crossing secret technique to a natal immortal technique.

Otherwise, if he wanted to use a secret technique to dispel the "Purple Heaven Divine Lightning," he would be incredibly foolish and naive.

If there were truly such a fool, he wouldn't have reached the Ninth Tribulation stage.

Having already been forced to use up the tribulation-crossing technique ahead of time due to previous tribulations.

Who would upgrade something as "one-time" as a tribulation-crossing technique to their innate immortal technique?

"Bah!"

Just then, a phoenix cried out in the heavens.

A five-colored phoenix with a swan-like front and scales, a snake-like neck and fish-like tail, a dragon-patterned tortoise-like body, a swallow-like jaw and a chicken-like beak, suddenly flew out from the top of Bai Cang's head.

As soon as it appeared, it stretched out its gracefully curved neck, spread its colorful wings, and flew towards the vast purple mist with a long cry.

Its cry stirs the eight winds, and auspicious omens arrive like timely rain.

With a single flap of its wings, the five-colored phoenix covered the sky and stretched across the eight directions.

In less than a ten-thousandth of a second.

The vast purple aura then became ethereal and unreal, disappearing into the world in sync with the five-colored phoenix soaring into the sky.

Only magnificent and mysterious paintings unfold in the sky, displaying all sorts of amazing phenomena.

There is a bird called the phoenix, which emerges from the parasol tree, soars across the four seas, washes its feathers in the Weak Water, and roosts in the Wind Cave at dusk.

He connects with the heavens and responds to the earth's spirit; he harmonizes the five tones and observes the nine virtues; he passes the immortal island and drinks from the pillar of heaven...

It's like a scene from "Phoenix Legend," filling the entire sky.

"Finally...it's over!"

In an instant.

Bai Cang suddenly felt an indescribable ease in his mind and spirit, and no longer felt constrained or restricted.

Having survived nine tribulations, one attains great freedom and liberation!

"boom!"

At the same time, the great Daoist chant resounded again, and countless Daoist energies rose up.

As Bai Cang's thoughts raced, he suddenly felt boundless destiny, fate, and karma entwined around the "Heart-Changing Divine Number," transforming into a pale white plum blossom that landed in his hand.

"Has the path of cultivating virtue in people's hearts been finally reached, and how easy it is for the heart to transcend fate?"

Bai Cang extended his slender, jade-like hand and caught the ethereal plum blossom petal in his palm.

As if bearing an incredibly heavy fate, a joyful smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After surviving nine tribulations, his "Heart-Mind Divine Calculation" finally reached its peak and transformed into another of his innate immortal arts.

This propelled Bai Cang's divination skills to the pinnacle of the world.

From then on, whenever he had a thought, he could understand all the causes and effects related to himself.

Moreover, from his location, nothing that happens within a radius of ten thousand miles can escape his perception.

If he wanted to know, even the trajectory of a tiny speck of dust would automatically appear in his mind.

Most importantly, no matter who tries to scheme against or deal with him, Bai Cang can sense it in advance and deduce the most appropriate response.

As long as he is willing to expend his own essence, he can even deduce the workings of a Golden Immortal.

Of course, all of this comes at a price.

For cultivators below the primordial spirit level, the price of calculating heavenly secrets is their own lifespan.

For beings above the primordial spirit level, consuming their essence is not much different from "spending their life force".

The more detailed and complex the analysis, and the higher the level involved, the more terrifying the consumption becomes.

However, for Bai Cang, who possesses a vast realm, the one thing he has in abundance is the source of power!

Thinking of this, the plum blossom in Bai Cang's hand fluttered up, and on a sudden impulse, he sensed an ominous warning that "disaster is imminent."

A powerful force that enveloped the world and filled destiny transformed into heavy shackles, falling upon Bai Cang's body.

However, as soon as his thoughts turned, the boundless origin vanished into thin air.

The trajectory of that plum blossom movement instantly transformed into countless images, reflected in Bai Cang's spiritual sea.

"External demons are blocking the way? Interesting!"

Bai Cang's eyes were as deep as the sea, and the ethereal plum blossoms slowly rotated in his hands and heart.

Countless unpredictable and illusory scenes made him appear as if he were the master of destiny!

However, when Bai Cang wanted to continue his calculations and investigate the backgrounds of Gan Ying Daojun and others...

An even more terrifying fog of fate was sweeping towards him!
