On Mount Buzhou, Lin Xuan suddenly awoke with a start, realizing that he had unknowingly fallen into a mental tribulation. He broke out in a cold sweat and was secretly alarmed.
Immediately afterward, his eyes widened, and an unparalleled pressure swept out. He roared, "A mere mental tribulation, what can it do to me? Break through..."
Lin Xuan's will was like a blade, slashing through all illusions. His mind returned to reality in an instant, and with a quick glance, he found himself unknowingly standing on the edge of a cliff on Mount Buzhou. In front of the cliff was an endless sea of clouds. He activated his spiritual eyes and scanned the area, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Within this sea of clouds, there were terrifying gales, the Yin energy of the Nine Heavens, each one powerful enough to kill a Golden Immortal at the peak of power, leaving no room for resistance.
Although his strength is greater than that of a Golden Immortal at the peak, if he were to fall into this sea of clouds without any awareness and be swept up by such terrifying Nine Heavens Yin Fiends, he would likely die without a doubt.
"Fortunately, I reacted in time. It was all fake. The transformation of the physical body was fake, and the sudden enlightenment was fake. It was all a mental tribulation. The so-called mental tribulation is to infinitely amplify the greatest desire in one's heart and then make one sink into it."
"What I want to pursue most in my life is great power, the pinnacle of martial arts, so my tribulation is the improvement of my strength..." Lin Xuan murmured to himself, his eyes shining even brighter, and he was filled with lingering fear.
Fortunately, he woke up in time and successfully overcame his mental ordeal.
Otherwise, the consequences are unpredictable.
"Now that the mental tribulation is over, I've reached the Heavenly Realm, and only the final tribulation remains," Lin Xuan murmured to himself, his gaze sweeping across his surroundings. Of the nine tribulations of the Heavenly Realm, this final one is the Tribulation of Annihilation. This tribulation is the last of the nine tribulations, and also the most dangerous.
The so-called extinction is the annihilation of nothingness, but it is also the rebirth of Nirvana.
This tribulation is the most elusive and uncertain; in theory, martial artists can only passively wait. But for some reason, Lin Xuan had a strange thought: he felt that if he wanted to overcome this tribulation of annihilation, he could do so at any time.
However, Lin Xuan was not in a hurry to activate the Annihilation Tribulation. He had just passed the Heart Tribulation, and his condition was greatly reduced. There would be no benefit in undergoing the Annihilation Tribulation at this time, so he had to wait.
It's not too late to undergo the tribulation once you've adjusted yourself to your optimal state.
"Let's climb the mountain first. I was caught in a mental trap just now. It seemed like only a moment, but in reality, a long time had passed. Many others have already surpassed me. Let's climb to the top of Buzhou Mountain first and take first place."
Lin Xuan muttered to himself, but he didn't stop there. He immediately turned around and left the cliff, continuing his journey towards the summit of Buzhou Mountain.
After overcoming his mental tribulation, his cultivation level improved further, and his strength became significantly greater.
The speed was even faster than before.
With each step, he covered a thousand feet. Lin Xuan accelerated all the way, as if strolling in a garden, and soon overtook many people, rushing directly to the mountainside of Buzhou Mountain in one breath.
"Damn it... it's Lin Xuan! Didn't he just slow down? How did he suddenly speed up again?"
"Who knows why? This guy has millions of identity tokens on him, so the pressure from Mount Buzhou probably has no effect on him! It's only natural that he can move this fast!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the first place winner, but those few prodigies won't let him get away with it."
"That's right, those freaks have already gone two-thirds of the way. Once Lin Xuan catches up, there will definitely be a fierce battle. Unfortunately, this Buzhou Mountain is shrouded in a great power, and our vision is suppressed. The higher we look, the more severe the obstruction becomes. We are destined not to see the battle between Lin Xuan and those freaks."
"Hahaha... Lin Xuan has caught up and will definitely have a big battle with those few geniuses. Those guys are all arrogant and proud, and they won't let him take first place so easily. As the saying goes, when two tigers fight, one will be injured, or even both will be injured. That may be my chance."
"Let's fight. It would be best if we both suffered heavy losses and died on Mount Buzhou. That way, we'll still have a chance to compete for first place."
...
On Mount Buzhou, many people had already seen Lin Xuan moving forward at great speed, surpassing all of them, and immediately began to discuss it.
Some were shocked, some were unwilling to accept it, but others sneered.
Lin Xuan paid no attention to the discussions around him. He didn't have time to kill these people right now, since they were all some distance away. And judging from their discussions, some people had already reached two-thirds of Buzhou Mountain. If he continued to kill, it would definitely waste time, and then the first place would really be in jeopardy.
Losing first place for a little bit of luck is definitely not worth it.
"Climb the mountain, climb the mountain first! First place will definitely be mine! Hmph... I don't care if you're a prodigy or whatever. Anyone who dares to stop me will die..."
Lin Xuan snorted coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent.
The oppressive force on Mount Buzhou grew increasingly powerful, but Lin Xuan's boundless inner strength negated most of it. The remaining pressure was practically nonexistent for him. Instead, his inner strength was rapidly merging under this oppressive force, and his physical body was undergoing a gradual transformation.
This time it's no longer a mental ordeal, but a real transformation.
He could clearly feel this transformation.
Soon, Lin Xuanren had passed the halfway point of the mountain and continued upwards until he finally reached two-thirds of the way up.
By this time, the mountain was shrouded in thick fog, and boundless dangers swept around it. Crises of the same level as the Nine Heavens Yin Fiends were everywhere. If it weren't for his spiritual eyes and divine vision, Lin Xuan honestly wasn't sure how far he could go.
"I knew it. Mount Buzhou isn't that simple. Below the halfway point, as long as you can withstand the pressure, you'll be fine. But from the halfway point onwards, all sorts of dangers and killing intents are always visible. At this point, it's not just about how many identity tokens you have; you also have to rely on your true strength." Lin Xuan muttered to himself, many thoughts flashing through his mind.
He quickly figured out the situation, but his footwork didn't slow down at all.
Because he possesses divine eyes, he can avoid the surrounding thick fog and murderous intent in advance, so his speed remains undiminished.
With each step covering a hundred feet, he moved like a ghost, already putting a distance between himself and the people behind him.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Lin Xuan finally encountered the first prodigy in the eyes of countless people. He was a young man from another race with six golden wings and a pair of silver-white curved horns on his head. Just as Lin Xuan passed through a dense fog area, he saw this young man from another race standing on a boulder, his arms crossed, looking at him with slightly narrowed eyes.
