In a world of immortals and swordsmen, a young Taoist named Mu Shao'ai loves flying swords, raising poison insects, drawing talismans, and refining pills. Isn't it delightful to live a care...
"boom!"
A deafening roar resounded.
An endless aura of calamity suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Then it transformed into a mysterious and profound aura, merging with Bai Cang's primordial spirit.
This was precisely the feedback he received after overcoming nine tribulations and slaying through the demonic tribulation, officially advancing to the rank of "First Calamity Dao Lord".
As the saying goes: Great calamities contain great opportunities.
The difficulty Bai Cang faced in passing the Nine Heavens Tribulation was nothing short of monstrous and defying the heavens.
The demonic calamity unleashed a devastating storm in the Great Crimson Heaven, resulting in the complete annihilation of several major Xuanmen sects, including the Haoran Mansion.
The feedback for being promoted to "One Calamity Dao Lord" is naturally unprecedented and unimaginably generous.
However, Bai Cang paid no attention to his rapidly improving cultivation level and the benefits brought by various feedbacks.
His mind was completely preoccupied with that fleeting aura of calamity.
Under normal circumstances, if Bai Cang were to advance from the "Universe and Heaven" stage to the "Creation of Chaos" stage of his "Creation of Chaos" cultivation, he would have to go through two more stages: "Myriad Spirits Evolution Tribulation" and "Myriad Tribulations Overturning One".
The premise of "Tribulation of Myriad Spirits" is that enough living beings will proliferate in the new world he creates and develop into a sufficiently powerful "immortal cultivation civilization".
Only then can calamities arise, accumulating calamity energy, ultimately leading to "all calamities overturning one," causing the world to return to "chaos."
But now, Bai Cang has seen a "shortcut"!
That is to use this endless aura of calamity to forcibly promote the generation of calamity, directly "creating calamity out of thin air", and skipping the most tedious and time-consuming stage of "the calamity of all spirits".
Thinking this, Bai Cang sat up and walked away, as if even the slightest hesitation would be disrespectful to the "unorthodox sect".
In an instant, the "True Seed of Innate Calamity" merged with the aura of endless calamities.
"boom!"
The entire nascent "world" trembled violently.
It was as if an ancient, ferocious beast, suppressed within the world, was wreaking havoc, trying to break free.
An immeasurable aura of calamity erupted with pitch-black flames, rendering time and space, yin and yang, the five elements, and the nine great Dao gates all as black as ink.
It reaches up to the heavens and the nine heavens, and down to the endless netherworld and the nine netherworlds.
Between the top and bottom, there are countless tribulations such as Yin Wind Tribulation, Blood Thunder Tribulation, Ice Flame Tribulation, Poisonous Fiend Tribulation, Ghost Demon Tribulation, Yin Demon Tribulation, Heart Demon Tribulation, Nether Phosphorus Tribulation, Profound Yin Tribulation, etc., which are spread out into boundless tribulation clouds, encompassing the entire Great Thousand World.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth.
The endless tribulations, like a kind of baptism, caused the nine dark and mysterious gates to shine with a pure and holy radiance, as if they had been cleansed of impurities.
A series of heavenly melodies resounded in the void, echoing and swirling between heaven and earth.
In just a moment, it spread to all corners of the world.
Finally, it condensed into a dazzling and holy radiance, which rose slowly from below.
The nine Great Dao Gates, which had been stained as black as ink by the aura of calamity, were transformed back into a state of crystal clarity and golden jade.
The boundless cosmic energy is continuously absorbed by the nine Great Dao Gates, then transformed into tangible and intangible fortunes such as Yin and Yang, Xuanhuang, and clear and turbid space-time, which are then integrated into the vast world.
Bai Cang could clearly sense just how astonishing the transformation of this "Great Thousand World" was under the baptism of countless calamities.
Especially after the "Innate Calamity True Seed" merged with the nine Great Dao Mysterious Gates, immeasurable calamity is continuously converging upon it.
Bai Cang's Star River Primordial Spirit also comprehended countless mysteries during this process.
It seems that he is in a state of "enlightenment" at all times.
Even the "Yuan Hui Yun Shi" cultivation method, which was originally still in its infancy, as well as the "Tai Chu" and "Tai Yi" paths, have made visible progress.
"All calamities are reduced to one, and all things return to one?" A sudden realization flashed through Bai Cang's mind.
In that instant, he seemed to grasp the root of the "calamity" and understand more clearly why no one had ever been able to cultivate the "Creation of Chaos Calamity Scripture" to the level of "Golden Immortal of the Dao Integration".
If we're talking about the normal path, it's the methodical way.
Even someone like Bai Cang, who is considered a "cheater," still needs to be reasoned with.
At most, it just speeds up the process countless times.
Therefore, the practice of the "Path of Calamity" is a completely irrational "Great Leap Forward".
One tribulation, one step; a thunderclap from nowhere.
The calamity soared to the heavens, the tribulation began and plunged into the netherworld.
It can truly be described as: life or death in an instant, it's all about the thrill and excitement.
Especially at the stage of merging with the Great Dao, one simply transforms into the calamities of the heavens, taking on all the cultivators alone.
Those who wish to overcome tribulations must pass the test of being one who is in harmony with the "Great Dao of Innate Tribulations," which is equivalent to using one's own power to "block the Dao" of the entire universe.
Who can stand up to your mother?
Even someone as "overpowered" as Bai Cang wouldn't dare attempt something as difficult as lighting a lantern in a latrine—it's pure suicide!
Although those who cultivate the "Great Dao of Calamity" experience extremely rapid growth in their cultivation, it can even be said to be one of the most promising paths to attaining supreme enlightenment.
But apart from the crazy person with a strong self-destructive tendency, Bai Cang thinks that no one would be so suicidal.
"Ha Qiu..."
This thought arose somewhere in the universe.
Tianhe Daoist suddenly sneezed. "Which blind bastard is whispering about me behind my back again?"
Immediately, a thought flashed through his mind, and a dangerous look appeared in his eyes.
"So it was you, you bastard. You enjoyed using my influence to scare people, didn't you?"
Tianhe Daoist, with his omniscience, instantly understood the cause and effect. "It seems I have been too lenient with you. I must increase the intensity of your punishment."
While his own misfortunes were certainly unpleasant, the arrogance of others made him even more restless and unable to eat or sleep.
However, Bai Cang was unaware of the immense trouble his momentary lapse in judgment would bring upon himself.
With the integration of the "Innate Calamity True Seed", his cultivation level was officially promoted to "First Calamity Dao Lord".
The vast and boundless primordial spirit of the starry river is undergoing a tremendous transformation.
"It's a pity that even with the amplification of the aura of calamity, it's still far from reaching the level of 'one in ten thousand calamities'."
Looking at the "Great Thousand World" that was constantly undergoing earth-shattering changes, Bai Cang couldn't help but sigh with a hint of insatiable greed.
"Perhaps only when the three calamities are fulfilled can we barely reach the level of returning to chaos."
With that thought in mind, Bai Cang's mind shifted, and the most brilliant starlight suddenly appeared out of thin air in the illusory void.
Then, in a flash, it coalesced into an elegant and handsome figure.
He wore a black and white jade crown that reached the heavens, and a robe draped with stars and constellations. His eyes seemed to hold the swirling of stars, and his breath seemed to swallow the universe.
With a simple roll of his sleeves, a ray of clear white light descended from an unknown height.
Compared to the transformation of the "Great Thousand Worlds", the "Zhu Xian Sword Pill" is no less remarkable!
