Legend has it that when Sun Wukong was learning the 72 Earthly Transformations from Master Subhuti, Master Subhuti once said that practicing this technique was an extraordinary way that would seize the fortune of heaven and earth and invade the mysteries of the sun and moon, and therefore would lead to suffering from the three disasters and nine difficulties.
As the saying goes, to learn extraordinary ways, one must endure extraordinary suffering!
This is also one of the reasons why many people fail to practice the Eight-Nine Profound Art.
The three disasters and nine tribulations are extremely painful, and even a true immortal might not be able to endure it! If you are not careful, your soul will be shattered and turned into nothingness!
However, as the Eight-Nine Profound Art was split, the Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations were also divided into Nine Deaths and Eight Tribulations. The effect was relatively reduced, but it was still something that ordinary people could not resist!
The eight tribulations are: thunder, wind, fire, water, metal, Dharma, karma, and soul.
It is difficult for the thunder from heaven to strike you. You must see your true nature and understand your mind, and avoid it in advance. If you can avoid it, you will live as long as the sky. If you can't avoid it, you will die!
Fire from heaven cannot burn you. This fire is neither heavenly nor ordinary; it's called Yin Fire. It blazes from beneath your Yongquan acupoint, penetrating your Niyuan Palace, reducing your internal organs to ash and your limbs to decay, burning all your austerities into nothingness!
The wind from heaven cannot blow you away. This wind is not the east, south, west, or north wind, nor the gentle, fragrant, golden, or bamboo wind. It is called the crow wind. It blows from the fontanelle into the six internal organs, passes through the dantian, penetrates the nine orifices, and the bones and flesh dissolve, and the body disintegrates!
Even the water from heaven can't drown you! This water isn't water from heaven, nor from the earth! It's weak water! It rises from your heart, flooding your entire body, corroding your meridians, engulfing your bones, and killing you from the inside out!
Even the gold falling from the sky can't kill you. This gold isn't a sword or a knife, but rather a force that originates from your dantian, unleashing a massive, diamond-like killing spree within. At best, your dantian will be damaged, your entire cultivation in vain! At worst, you'll die! Even a god can't save you!
The first five difficulties are already extremely dangerous, but the last three are even more terrifying!
The Dharma is difficult! The internal energy in the body is directly out of control and violent. Not only can it not be controlled, but it is also easy to sever the meridians and die!
Karma is hard! Trapped in obsession, boundless karma! All sorts of dark thoughts arise in the heart. At the very least, one may become possessed, lose their mind, and become a body that knows only killing! At the worst, one may commit suicide!
The soul is in great trouble! The spirit is separated from the body, and is subjected to the punishment of a thousand cuts! It is worse than any physical punishment! The pain is unbearable! Just dying is a relief!
In the past, one of the eight difficulties would appear in sequence every year as a side effect of practicing the Eight Difficulties Divine Method! Although extremely dangerous, it could always be overcome.
But every eight years, there will be a great disaster!
In times of great calamity, all eight difficulties appear at once! Extremely dangerous, with a narrow escape of death!
"That's right. In the past, the Eight Tribulations occurred every eight years. But after improvements made by my master and I, we were able to delay it. It has become a minor tribulation every eight years, and a major tribulation every sixty-four years!" Yuwen Yuer said.
"That's not bad, that's not bad..." Jiang Fan nodded after hearing that.
If there really is a hardship every year, who can withstand it? Before they have even finished their training, they will die before they can accomplish their mission!
Eight years of this can at least ease the situation.
But before Jiang Fan could finish his words, Yuwen Yu'er continued, "But correspondingly, the accumulated power of the Eight Tribulations is even more dangerous! It's several times, even ten times, more dangerous than before! The reason I was captured and thrown into this Dragon City Prison is because I was in the Eight Tribulations period, extremely weak and unable to move! Otherwise, although I am loyal to the country, I will never surrender!"
"This time, I don't know where the Four Heavenly Kings got the news from. It must be that someone close to me betrayed me and knew that my Eight Tribulations were approaching. So they wanted to unite and take this opportunity to overthrow me and become the new Lord of Wrongful Death City! I need you to protect me! Stop the Four Heavenly Kings and let me successfully survive the Eight Tribulations!"
"Then why don't you take the initiative and kill them in advance?!" Jiang Fan couldn't help but ask.
Instead of waiting for them to come to you, it would be better to destroy the Four Heavenly Kings before the Eight Tribulations begin.
Because their skills were similar, Jiang Fan could also see Yu Wen Yuer's realm.
He had actually reached the terrifyingly late stage of the Land Godly Immortal! A level higher than both himself and his Ghost Doctor Master! Only one step away from achieving Land Great Perfection!
Apart from Yan Luo, who is unknown whether he is a late-stage terrestrial immortal or a great perfection, he can be said to be the strongest person Jiang Fan has ever met!
No wonder he was called the invincible general of the previous dynasty!
With his cultivation level, it would be easy for him to kill the four fake Four Heavenly Kings who were in the early stage of land immortals. Even if these fake Four Heavenly Kings had the weapons inherited from the real Four Heavenly Kings, it would be useless.
The gap between the two is so huge, like heaven and earth!
"The City of the Dead has its own rules. You can't kill people indiscriminately. This is set by me personally! The City of the Dead and I have become one. Unless I break this rule, even I cannot violate it myself, otherwise I will be retaliated by the City of the Dead!" Yuwen Yuer sighed.
She also wanted to kill these four bastards! But because of these four bastards, the rules of the City of the Dead were broken and the City of the Dead fell into chaos, which she couldn't bear.
No matter where she is, she is still the great General Yuwen who loves her people like her own children!
"Why do you choose to believe me?" Jiang Fan asked the doubt in his heart.
"On the one hand, we are from the same school, and you just happen to have a conflict with the Four Heavenly Kings. It's a match made in heaven. On the other hand, I know your mother..." Yuwen Yuer looked at Jiang Fan and replied.
"What did you say? You know who my mother is? How do you know my mother?!" Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately asked excitedly.
"You have her letter on you, right? As for the rest, I can't tell you for now. I will tell you everything after you finish protecting the sect!" said Yu Wen Yu'er.
"A letter? Is this the one? Is there anything special about it?" Jiang Fan took out his mother's letter, but it only had six simple words repeated on it.
