Yan Xiuzhu poured all his cyan spiritual power into the weak point and unleashed a fierce attack. Ripples appeared at the weak point, revealing colorless fluctuations.
A golden light emanated from him, and he spoke softly from his thin lips:
"Pass on my order, summon all heroes, and together we will defeat them."
As the password was solemnly uttered, the high-ranking members of various sects received the message and, in accordance with the power of the words, were instantly summoned from thousands of miles away to Yan Xiuzhu's side.
The elders were outside, working together to attack the weak points of the Lingxu Ancient Realm, while inside the Lingxu Ancient Realm, the atmosphere was also in turmoil.
Nachin and the others were protecting Tu Longjian. They watched her repeatedly fail to break through to the Golden Core stage, getting up again and again covered in wounds, her expression solemn and worried, but no one dared to stop her.
Lightning crackled around her, all lurking in the dark clouds, waiting for its chance to strike.
The closest they came to success just now was actually struck by eight bolts of lightning!
What is the concept of the Eight Tribulations of Lightning?
For an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator to break through to the Golden Core stage, they only need to undergo three tribulations of lightning, while geniuses might need one more.
Top geniuses, like Yuan Jialiang whom they witnessed during his tribulation when he entered university, had already reached an astonishing level of the Six Paths.
However, Tu Longjian is currently experiencing eight tribulations, and it seems that there is still more to come. The final tribulation is delayed, causing her to fail to break through to the Golden Core stage.
Just as Tu Longjian was falling from the sky again, a spirit bird flew over and caught her. Feng Tianhe controlled the spirit bird and landed steadily with the injured Tu Longjian.
As soon as the spirit bird landed, Fang Milu rushed over, frantically channeling her healing power with a sob in her voice, yet she dared not touch it.
Tu Longjian's entire body was covered in sore flesh that even she, as a doctor, found it shocking.
"Please don't go, okay?" Her tears fell heavily, one by one.
Feng Tianhe wiped his nose, his eyes already red-rimmed. "Sister, give up."
"Your Majesty, there's no rush to break through. You should focus on recovering from your injuries." Nachin's eyes revealed worry, while Dai Qing's tall figure stood with his back to them, not daring to turn around, secretly wiping away tears.
Gan Xiuming gently grasped her wrist and shook his head, saying, "Why bother? So what if we can't get out of the secret realm? I will protect you; you don't need to risk your life."
Having lingered in this realm for so long, Tu Longjian could no longer suppress the abundant spiritual energy within his body. If he did not attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage, he would only be delaying his death.
Yun Mo, that unpredictable and ruthless pursuer, who is suspected to be a messenger of Heaven, added a heavy burden to her heart.
She must become stronger; she cannot stop here!
Since Yun Mo was able to catch up to the Lingxu Ancient Realm, he might one day escape the void turbulence and, representing the will of Heaven, make a comeback!
Tu Longjian endured the excruciating pain and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he turned his head and fainted, his consciousness plunging into darkness.
Her soul entered another dimension, where a consciousness seemed to be talking to her. She couldn't hear clearly, but could only vaguely make out a female voice.
[Angry lost soul, do you know the true purpose of the Five Elements Mystic Scripture?]
"The Five Elements Profound Scripture? Isn't it a cultivation manual specifically prepared for cultivators with five elemental roots? Could you be the spirit of the manual?"
[That's right, I am the Five Elements Mystic Scripture itself. And I have come specifically for those without destiny.]
[Although named the Five Elements Profound Scripture, it is actually a cover for cultivators seeking the root of lifelessness.]
[I actually have no rank, nor am I recorded in the cultivation world's records. But I am even greater than a Dao artifact, representing a will powerful enough to contend with the Heavenly Dao! I come and go without a trace, only appearing when necessary!]
"What does 'a person without a destiny' mean?" Tu Longjian asked, deeply concerned about this term, feeling it was closely related to her own life.
[A person without destiny is an anomaly in this world; their fate is like a fog, they have no past, no future, because everything will be created by themselves!]
"Why have you appeared at this time?" A thought flashed through Tu Longjian's mind. "Could it be that the strangeness within the Spirit Void Ancient Realm is the Heavenly Dao hindering me?"
[Indeed clever. Heaven's Way? Pshaw! It's nothing but a cowardly thief, deceiving countless people. Does it even deserve to call itself Heaven?]
[It vainly tried to numb the mind of the lifeless root with a temporary peaceful life. I'm glad you weren't deceived.]
Tu Longjian's spirit hovered in the air, his gaze sharpening. "How can I break free from this cage? Please give me your instructions."
To successfully contend with the will of Heaven, three elements are needed: divine essence, divine arts, and a divine heart.
"Divine status, divine arts, divine heart, are you making me a god?" Tu Longjian murmured, his eyes shining brightly.
"That's right! This is the path to godhood! Only by becoming a god can you use divine power to fight against the Heavenly Dao!"
[Divinity is the most important yet also the most elusive quality. It can only be acquired through a series of serendipitous events, and cannot be explained. You only need to remember that your actions must stem from your true heart.]
[The divine heart is actually a further development of the Dao heart. One must first find one's own Dao before one has the opportunity to awaken the divine heart.]
[In ancient times, there were many channels to awaken one's divine heart, but now they are dilapidated. As far as I know, it seems that only the unfathomable Spirit Gathering Realm remains. It's unknown when it will appear or when it will be triggered; if someone forcibly summons it, they will inevitably pay a heavy price.]
[For your current predicament, coincidentally, I myself am a form of magic; you only need to learn from me. Furthermore, I have retained a trace of my former master's divine power, which can temporarily help you break through your current limitations!]
Do you dare step onto this irreversible path to godhood?!
"I dare! Even if I'm shattered to pieces!" Tu Longjian's eyes gleamed with excitement, as if two flames were leaping violently within them.
She has been searching for a way to defy the will of Heaven, but she has not found the right method. She can only hold on to the belief of becoming stronger, seize opportunities, and diligently cultivate immortality.
However, Yun Mo's appearance made her realize that she was nothing more than an ant trying to shake a tree, and that she was powerless to even resist the messengers of Heaven.
Now, things have finally turned around!
Although this path is a thousand times more difficult than cultivation and ascension, and the divine essence and divine heart are even more elusive, there is still hope.
It felt like an instant, yet also like millions of years had passed. Tu Longjian focused on cultivating the divine arts brought by the Five Elements Mystic Scripture in this alternate dimension.
The moment she opened her eyes again, she had lost track of time and even felt that her past experiences were as faint as smoke.
She was like a true god, outwardly unchanged, but inwardly, sculpted by intricate magic, she seemed to have endured millions of years of vicissitudes.
Unlike a true god, she possessed divine arts but lacked divine power, divine status, and even a divine heart.
Like an ordinary person who possesses a priceless treasure but dares not use it, she overused her mental energy and became exhausted.
I woke up feeling dizzy. The azure sky was dotted with cotton-like white clouds. I had no idea how long ago it was before I last ate that.
Suddenly, Gan Xiuming's large face appeared in the beautiful scenery. His handsome features were uninspiring, which startled her awake. It was just a hallucination.
