And Chen Tianwen actually has three immortal artifacts of this caliber?

"Hmph, Master has long since reached the Great Perfection of Body Refinement, what is this little lightning tribulation?"

Xuan Yanyan also said disdainfully, without caring at all whether her words would be unacceptable to others.

"Body Refinement Perfected? You reached that level a long time ago? How is that possible?"

Perhaps because he had been shocked so many times, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not show much surprise this time, he just found it unbelievable!

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty clearly remembered that the ancient royal books recorded that only body cultivators at the immortal level could, by chance, achieve the Great Perfection of Body Refinement.

If I remember correctly, before passing the Heavenly Tribulation, Chen Tianwen was only at the Void Refining stage, yet he had already reached the Great Perfection of Body Refinement.

Doesn't that mean that Chen Tianwen already possessed strength comparable to an immortal?

"My son, if your elder brother has truly reached the pinnacle of body refinement, this heavenly tribulation shouldn't cause him much harm. Calmly comprehend the power of the heavenly tribulation; it will greatly benefit your future tribulations!"

The Emperor gave instructions to Shi Yan, while he himself began to calm his mind and contemplate the truth.

"Sister Hua!"

The three little spirits ran to Hua Qingyue and Xia Anyu's side. Hua Qingyue had always had full confidence in Chen Tianwen, so unlike the others who were worried about the heavenly tribulation, she smiled and said to the three little ones:

"Why aren't you three little ones staying with your master?"

Xuan Yanyan said with some grievance:

"Our master said he was afraid that the power of Heaven would sense us, so he asked us to leave with him."

The Heart Chain, however, coolly replied:

"Master is too cautious. I can break through this minor heavenly tribulation with a single chain strike!"

The spirit of the cauldron retorted, not to be outdone:

"If I were here, this heavenly tribulation wouldn't be able to break through my defenses at all!"

Listening to the three little ones' noisy chatter, Hua Qingyue revealed her captivating smile, while Xia Anyu gradually emerged from her worries and listened curiously to the three little ones' discussion, hoping to learn more about Chen Tianwen.

The tense atmosphere gradually eased when everyone learned that Chen Tianwen had reached the pinnacle of body refinement.

Elder Qinglian is already organizing the disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect to comprehend the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. It would not be an exaggeration to say that such a scene is rare even once in ten thousand years!

Meanwhile, the princes were all silently making plans in their hearts, determined never to provoke the Immortal Sword Sect again, because their sect leader was too terrifying!

Amidst everyone's anticipation, the first tribulation finally descended, with dozens of black and purple lightning bolts striking down. For Chen Tianwen, who was able to directly withstand the black lightning, this was not even an appetizer!

Indeed, Chen Tianwen, who was deep within the tribulation of lightning, was instead using the Qilin Undying Divine Technique, sitting cross-legged in the void, absorbing the power of the tribulation.

Chen Tianwen was just short of shouting, "Let the heavenly tribulation come even more fiercely!"

The second and third heavenly tribulations fell one after another, the number of lightning bolts increased, and the color of the lightning bolts became darker and darker, until the fourth heavenly tribulation, when all the lightning bolts had turned pitch black!

"I never expected that the fourth lightning tribulation would be comparable to the ninth heavenly lightning that grants immortality!"

Chen Tianwen sighed, not taking the tribulation seriously, and continued to absorb its power.

The lightning continued to strike, and Chen Tianwen's body was gradually improving, even his sea of ​​consciousness was undergoing earth-shattering changes!

The lightning tribulation gradually changed from black to gold. This was because the tribulation incorporated the power of the Heavenly Dao's backlash. Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a terrifying tribulation just by advancing to the Tribulation Transcending stage!

After all, one must undergo a heavenly tribulation to successfully reach the Mahayana stage during the Tribulation Transcending stage!

If the first time is this terrifying, and given its tendency to become more terrifying each time, I'm afraid no one could withstand nine heavenly tribulations and successfully ascend to immortality!

At this moment, within Chen Tianwen's sea of ​​consciousness, his primordial spirit was also absorbing the power of the heavenly tribulation, with wisps of lightning swirling around it.

The primordial spirit looked exactly like Chen Tianwen, but its eyes were closed as it earnestly comprehended the power of the Heavenly Dao!

Originally, Chen Tianwen's physical cultivation had far surpassed that of his spiritual body due to his cultivation of the Qilin Undying Divine Art. Now, after absorbing the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, his primordial spirit is gradually catching up with his physical cultivation!

However, with each advancement of the primordial spirit, a breath of golden gas would be exhaled from the primordial spirit's mouth and merged into Chen Tianwen's physical body.

Chen Tianwen knew that his primordial spirit and physical body were perfectly integrated, but because the physical body far surpassed the primordial spirit, the primordial spirit was now reintegrating into the physical body!

It seems that once I reach the Immortal Realm, I'll have to find a proper cultivation method for the primordial spirit, otherwise it would be a waste of such a unique advantage!

Chen Tianwen thought to himself, "Perhaps only Chen Tianwen could have the mind to think wildly while undergoing tribulation."

After absorbing the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, the primordial spirit gradually grew larger. Chen Tianwen had read the inheritance of the Qilin clan, which said that as long as the primordial spirit becomes a thousand feet tall, one can advance to the Mahayana stage. According to this calculation, after passing the first level of the Heavenly Tribulation stage, the primordial spirit should be able to reach a hundred feet in size!

However, the Qilin's legacy records the standard of the divine beast Qilin. Under normal circumstances, cultivators would not reach the size of the divine beast. When breaking through to the Mahayana stage, it is considered to be exceptionally talented if one's primordial spirit can reach 500 zhang!

Chen Tianwen knew all this, so he was now deep in thought as he looked at his primordial spirit, which was over two hundred feet tall and still growing!

The Nine Heavenly Tribulations haven't ended yet, but the primordial spirit has already broken through to two hundred feet, and will soon reach three hundred feet. What kind of operation is this?

Even compared to the mythical Qilin, it is two to three times larger!

However, Chen Tianwen was not worried. The larger and more refined the primordial spirit, the stronger it was!

Legend has it that when one reaches the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the primordial spirit can be completely integrated into the physical body. At that time, the physical body is the primordial spirit, and the primordial spirit is the physical body. As long as the body can still retain a trace of flesh and blood, the primordial spirit can be restored, achieving the goal of rebirth!

However, legends are just legends. Even the Demon God and the Xuan Turtle in the Shenbi Secret Realm did not reach this level.

However, Chen Tianwen was absolutely certain that he could reach this level, because even now, his physical body had already perfectly merged with his primordial spirit!

As the final tribulation descended, Chen Tianwen's primordial spirit finally settled at a size of five hundred feet!

The tribulation period has arrived!

Chen Tianwen breathed a sigh of relief, but frowned slightly as he looked at the lingering power of the heavenly tribulation in the sky.

"Father, did my elder brother successfully transcend the tribulation?"

Shi Yan asked uncertainly, but received no response, because even the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty was not sure!

"I'll go take a look!"

As Xiao Ding spoke, he was about to fly towards Chen Tianwen's location!
