The thunder that illuminated the starry sky completely submerged Dugu Bo's figure.

After watching for a few breaths, Jiang Yuan looked away.

"It's time to find a way to restore the mana in my body!"

Jiang Yuan looked around him and muttered to himself.

Even though another half day had passed, his mana recovery was still limited.

About 50% of the mana has not been recovered.

The starry sky outside the territory, far away from the five realms and four seas, is filled with deathly silence.

Not only are the Three Thousand Great Avenues here weak, but even some of the weaker ones cannot extend here.

Moreover, the spiritual energy here is extremely thin. Even the spiritual energy in Lin'an County is more than a hundred times richer than here.

Therefore, for him, the recovery of magic power is extremely slow, and he can only rely on the cave world in his body to slowly recover.

Jiang Yuan could also feel that as his magic power gradually recovered, there seemed to be very slight damage to the origin of the cave world.

This recovery method cannot be used as a conventional means, as it will weaken the origin of the cave.

"No wonder those saints who once went deep into the universe and the stars were completely lost and unable to return! It turns out it was because of this reason!"

Jiang Yuan was thinking for a moment, muttering to himself.

After his own changes, he also completely understood why those saints who went deep into the universe and the stars to explore this world would sit in the universe and pass away.

The farther away from the five realms and four seas, the thinner the spiritual energy becomes.

The spiritual energy here alone is so thin. If we continue to go deeper into the universe and the starry sky, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of light years away.

The spiritual energy might disappear completely, turning it into a place devoid of spirits.

In that situation, even if the saints traveled through the starry sky of the universe, they would carry with them a vast world of caves and heavens.

It is like a tree without roots and water without a source. If it loses its way again and loses its way back, the cave world inside its body will eventually go to extinction.

In this case, even the saints with great powers will completely disappear into the depths of the starry sky.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan took a deep breath.

"No wonder some people speculate that the Five Realms and Four Seas might be a cage!"

According to what he knew in his previous life, the universe speculated by humans was 93 billion light years long.

This is a despairing number.

Therefore, such a vast and boundless universe and starry sky is the best cage.

Even if one has great power, one cannot cross this soulless place, nor can one cross this long distance.

"Now it seems that this guess does make sense!"

From his point of view, this speculation is not untenable.

In such a vast universe, the five realms and four seas are as small as a reef in the ocean.

This endless universe is the best cage.

Jiang Yuan's eyes swept across the universe, and all he saw was the lightning formed by the natural calamity and endless darkness.

These darknesses are like a bottomless abyss. Once you fall into it, it seems that there is no possibility of escaping!

But compared to this view, Jiang Yuan feels that another view is more likely.

That is, this world has gradually moved towards extinction, with all vitality and spirituality gone.

The five realms and four seas may be the last place where life is born.

Because in his previous life, he had at least seen the mysterious and vast universe and billions of stars shining with his own eyes.

Although it has only been seen with the help of instruments, this undoubtedly shows that the universe was not so dead in the previous life.

Think of this.

Jiang Yuan looked into the depths of the distant starry sky.

Based on the entanglement of causal lines, he could feel that there was a planet extremely far away from here that was causally entangled with him.

This is the only causal line that is so far away from me.

A mysterious feeling told me that the planet was the one where I lived in my previous life.

Jiang Yuan stared at it for a few breaths, then slowly looked away.

Then he thought to himself that he must find an opportunity to visit that planet to see if it was the blue planet from his previous life.

He kept this matter silently in his heart, if the other end of that causal line was really the blue star where he was in his previous life.

This can prove many of the speculations in his mind.

Then, Jiang Yuan looked at himself along the causal line.

In his eyes, he was completely different from everyone else.

For other people, those lines of cause and effect are tightly wrapped around their bodies and penetrate deep into their bodies.

And the lines of cause and effect on his body were all floating one foot around him, neither far away nor entangled with his body.

In this situation, even a supreme being who is proficient in the law of cause and effect cannot attack him along the line of cause and effect, let alone infer any information about him based on cause and effect.

Jiang Yuan understood and was not surprised.

This is just another characteristic effect of innate luck.

[Transcendent and otherworldly]: Beyond the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements, not affected by cause and effect, no one in heaven or on earth can calculate anything about you.

The next moment.

Jiang Yuan moved and instantly performed the art of teleportation.

He also felt that the space here was very different from the five realms and four seas.

If the space of the Five Realms and Four Seas is like a thick steel plate, then the hardness of the space here is like an ordinary wooden board. The huge difference between the two also makes the restriction on him weaker.

Here, his speed was countless times faster than that of the Five Realms and Four Seas. He easily crossed the distant starry sky and instantly moved away from the location where Dugu Bo and Ye Chanxi were.

With the causal line as a guide, Jiang Yuan was not worried at all that he would get lost in this boundless universe.

A moment later, Jiang Yuan returned to the Nanming Star Region and appeared in front of a huge star.

This star is extremely huge, more than ten times larger than the blue star in the previous life.

The stars were filled with a sense of deathly silence, and their surface was covered with endless yellow sand sweeping across the sky.

"Just try it!"

Jiang Yuan murmured.

The words fell.

A golden sun fire slowly appeared at Jiang Yuan's fingertips.

The moment this flame appeared, it seemed as if a huge sun appeared in the starry sky, completely illuminating the surrounding area.

As the flames leaped, the space shattered repeatedly like a mirror, constantly repaired, and then shattered again by the leaping flames.

"go--"

Jiang Yuan uttered a word softly and snapped his fingers.

This golden sun fire instantly turned into a stream of light and shot into the star in front.

Jiang Yuan instantly looked forward, looking at the desolate ancient star in front of him.

After a few breaths, a smile slowly appeared on Jiang Yuan's face.

"Detonating the stars is so easy!"

As he muttered to himself, he also felt the true fire of the sun entering his body along with the star in front of him.

The matter inside the star began to collapse and fuse wildly.

With such movement, this planet is transforming into a star.

Another moment passed.

The scorching flames have spread from the earth's crust to the surface, and the raging flames are gushing out, stirring up solar storms thousands of feet high.

“So beautiful!!”

Jiang Yuan looked at the firework shining in the universe in front of him with admiration.

The sweeping magma flames quickly devoured the material on the surface of the star.

At this moment, this ancient star turned into another state under the detonation of Jiang Yuan.

It turned into a glowing and hot star, releasing its final brilliance.

Jiang Yuan looked at the star in front of him and slowly closed his eyes. A terrifying devouring force burst out from his body, and his body seemed to have turned into a celestial black hole.

The energy released from the star was captured by Jiang Yuan's devouring power and was quickly devoured and refined.

Dozens of breaths passed.

Jiang Yuan stopped and slowly opened his eyes.

"It works! But the energy released by a star is too slow. Although it has a great effect on restoring my mana, it's still not fast enough!"

A moment later.

Jiang Yuan captured nine smaller ancient stars and used the Great Teleportation Technique to quickly rush to the location where Dugu Bo and Ye Chanxi were.

Compared to the speed when he got here, Jiang Yuan's speed at this time was dragged down by the nine stars, and his speed was therefore slowed down by several times.

Half an hour.

Jiang Yuan walked out of the Nanming Star Region again and returned to the place where he was just now.

"Where have you been, kid?" Dugu Bo asked as he looked at Jiang Yuan who appeared in front of him.

Jiang Yuan smiled and raised his hand.

Nine stars instantly appeared in all directions.

"What are you doing??"

Dugu Bo looked around in surprise.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Dean, this is a tool that students use to recover the mana they consumed before!"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo looked at Jiang Yuan in even more confusion.

"Restore the consumed mana?"

"How can these nine stars help you recover your mana?"

"This place is almost devoid of spiritual energy. It is indeed difficult to recover mana!"

"If you really want to recover your magic power, the best way is to return to the Five Realms and Four Seas!"

When Jiang Yuan heard what Dugu Bo said, he smiled faintly.

"Dean, please look!"

The words fell.

Jiang Yuan condensed the true fire of the sun, waved his hand, and shot the nine true fires of the sun into the interiors of the nine stars.

In an instant.

Dugu Bo's expression slightly condensed.

"Are you going to ignite these nine stars?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yuan nodded.

A moment later.

Boom boom

Flames erupted from within the star, and the raging flames swept across the entire star.

In the blink of an eye, these nine stars turned into nine continuously fusing stars, releasing endless light and heat.

It also slowly illuminated the starry sky.

The next moment.

As an extremely powerful devouring force erupted from Jiang Yuan's body.

The energy emitted from the stars continued to converge towards Jiang Yuan.

The light particles gathered on Jiang Yuan's body to form rivers and seas.

It continued to merge into Jiang Yuan's body, being swallowed and refined by Jiang Yuan.

“What a great move!!”

Dugu Bo said with amazement.

After more than ten breaths, Jiang Yuan stopped doing this and the devouring power dissipated.

“This is the student’s means of recovery!”

Jiang Yuan said.

"It's indeed a good method! The Devouring Avenue is indeed worthy of being ranked among the top three thousand avenues. The effect is so powerful!"

"With this method, you can absorb the Devouring Dao into your body. No matter how spiritual a place you go, you can easily replenish your mana consumption!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"The Devouring Avenue is indeed extremely powerful!"

"If it weren't for the Devouring Avenue, I wouldn't have been able to get to this point!"

After he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan smiled again.

"Dean, how do you feel after having just survived the Thirty-Nine Thunder Tribulations?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo nodded with joy on his face.

"Very good! The effect of the heavenly tribulation is indeed extraordinary!"

"After the tempering and baptism of the heavenly tribulation, I feel that the Tao fruit has become more pure, and the power of the Yuan Shen has increased by nearly 10%. This is simply unimaginable!"

“If I can survive the sixty-nine heavenly tribulations, the ninety-nine heavenly tribulations, and even the saintly heavenly tribulations, I will have a better chance of completing the ultimate leap and stepping into the pinnacle of the human realm!”

Jiang Yuan nodded and continued, "Dean, I will continue to bring you the 69th Heavenly Tribulation!"

"Okay!" Dugu Bo nodded and continued, "Then I'll stay away from you to prevent this place from being affected."

A moment later.

Two people appeared in the distance.

As Jiang Yuan's mind moved slightly.

Snap——

A silver light seemed to tear apart the universe, illuminating an area of ​​several light years.

Then rolling black clouds gathered towards Dugu Bo's head from all directions.

Jiang Yuan said: "Dean, I will withdraw first!"

Dugu Bo said: "Go!"

Jiang Yuan nodded and left the place quickly.

Not long after.

He came to where Ye Chanxi was again.

Ye Chanxi felt Jiang Yuan's breath and opened her eyes instantly.

At this time, the thunderclouds had dissipated, and there was endless darkness and nothingness in all directions.

"How does it feel?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Jiang Yuan asked again: "Can it withstand the sixty-nine heavenly tribulations?"

"No problem!" Ye Chanxi nodded, and then smiled slightly: "Don't worry! Sister is not that weak! The thirty-nine heavenly tribulations are just tickling sister!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "In that case, then you should get ready!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan's mind moved.

In an instant.

There were roars in the starry sky and endless thunderclouds rolled in.

The thunder that flashed from time to time seemed to tear the black calamity cloud apart, and also illuminated the entire starry sky.

Jiang Yuan once again urged: "If you can't bear it anymore, call me and I will help you dispel the calamity cloud!"

"Okay!" Ye Chanxi nodded with a smile, a hint of joy on her lips.

Jiang Yuan also nodded with relief.

"In that case, I will withdraw. Be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan moved and left the place in an instant.

After penetrating through layers of void, Jiang Yuan also appeared in the center of nine stars.

At this time, all around were covered by madly burning stars, and the flames were raging, sweeping across the entire planet.

Jiang Yuan also felt that he seemed to be inside a star. The temperature was terrifyingly high, and the space seemed unable to withstand the temperature and was slightly distorted.

Then he took a deep breath.

Two flames emerged from the void and flowed into his body through his nostrils.

“Delicious!”

Jiang Yuan smacked his lips.

Then he thought to himself, now is the time to restore the mana I lost in my body! After the mana is restored, it will be time for me to survive the nine-nine heavenly tribulations.

As long as I can get through the nine-nine heavenly tribulations, not only will my soul strength increase significantly.

Based on previous experience, I can also harvest a seed of luck.

The last time I survived the six-nine thunder tribulations, I got a low-level luck seed. I don’t know if I can get a higher-level luck seed after surviving the nine-nine thunder tribulations this time. At this moment, Jiang Yuan suddenly came back to his senses.

That’s right!

The power of luck that I have now should be able to give birth to a high-level luck seed, right? Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan immediately looked at his panel.

[Power of Luck]: 6437 strands

[Fortune Seed]: One high-level fortune seed, one high-level fortune seed.

The next moment, as his mind moved slightly, a hint suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[You can consume twice the power of luck to promote the birth of this high-level luck seed, so that it will bloom immediately. Do you want to consume 3,800 strands of luck power? ]

[You can consume twice the power of luck to promote the birth of this high-level luck seed, so that it will bloom immediately. Do you want to consume 4120 strands of luck power? ]

“So expensive!!”

Looking at the prompts appearing in front of him, Jiang Yuan secretly complained.

Then I felt very distressed.

Originally, one only required 1900 strands of luck, and the other required 2060 strands of luck.

The time required for both is a little over three months.

Now, in order to save these three months, he has to pay an extra 3960 strands of luck power, which makes Jiang Yuan hesitate.

After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Yuan sighed and said, "Forget it, let's put it aside for now. I will consider it carefully after I recover my own magic power."

After he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan calmed himself down and stopped thinking about it.

The next moment.

He closed his eyes and let his thoughts flow.

A powerful devouring force suddenly burst out from his body.

The light and heat released by the nine surrounding stars rushed into his body frantically and were quickly swallowed and refined by Jiang Yuan.

But even with nine stars releasing light and heat, the area where Jiang Yuan was still turned pitch black, like a black hole, swallowing up all visible or invisible matter that entered this range.

With the energy released by nine stars as a source, Jiang Yuan suddenly felt that the magic power in his body was recovering rapidly and his spiritual sea was gradually filling up.

The spiritual sea at this time had expanded countless times compared to when he first opened up the cave.

Every expansion of the cave world will affect the scope of the spiritual sea, and the spiritual sea will become more vast.

Normally, practitioners who have reached his level have extremely powerful magic power in their bodies. Even if they use all their strength, it would be difficult to consume it all even if they fight for several years.

It is even more rare to encounter a situation where all the mana is consumed, especially in the five realms and four seas, it is impossible to consume all the mana in the body.

That's why Jiang Yuan was surprised by the huge consumption of the cause and effect.

Time passes by.

As Jiang Yuan continued to devour and absorb the nine stars, the temperature gradually dropped, and even on the surface of the stars on his side, magma condensed into soil material from time to time.

Then, under the influence of the fusion of other substances, it returns to the state of fusion again.

The location where Ye Chanxi and Dugu Bo were was submerged by thunder.

Within the range of the catastrophe, all matter was blasted into dust.

Half an hour later.

call--

Jiang Yuan exhaled lightly and slowly opened his eyes.

"Finally recovered!"

Jiang Yuan sighed.

He then clenched his fists again, and vast and powerful magic power flowed through his hands.

A smile immediately appeared on his face: "Not bad! Really good! This way, I can go deep into the universe and no matter where I am, I will not run out of mana."

The words fell.

Jiang Yuan looked towards the direction of the star deep in the sky.

I thought to myself, this way, I can go to that direction and find out what's going on.

With my current strength, the farther I am from the Five Realms and Four Seas, and the farther I am from the center of this world, the weaker the suppression of the Three Thousand Great Daos, the weaker the world will be, the more fragile the space barrier will become, and the faster I will be.

Jiang Yuan closed his eyes again and quietly sensed along the line of cause and effect.

With my current strength, I should be able to go and find out what's going on at this distance.

Jiang Yuan said secretly.

He then opened his eyes, looked at the stars that were still surrounding him, and waved his hand.

The nine stars were like spheres that were blown away, heading in different directions.

After doing this, Jiang Yuan looked up.

Now I should overcome the tribulation first! After I overcome the nine-nine tribulations, my strength will increase, and the time it takes to explore that star will be shorter.

But there is no need to rush for the moment, as the dean and Chanxi still have to survive these 69 days of tribulation.

Think of this.

Jiang Yuan quietly waited for the two's heavenly tribulations to end.

In less than an incense stick of time, the calamity clouds above their heads began to gradually dissipate, and no more heavenly calamities fell.

"Dean, how is it?"

Jiang Yuan appeared beside Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo nodded and said, "Very good! In very good condition!"

"Then I will continue to recruit ninety-nine geniuses for the dean!" Jiang Yuan said.

"Okay!" Dugu Bo showed joy on his face and nodded heavily.

Immediately, Jiang Yuan had an idea.

The calamity clouds above my head had not yet dispersed, but were now gathering together rapidly.

At this time, countless lightning snakes appeared in the sky.

Thick black calamity clouds rolled in from the depths of the endless universe.

Compared to the sixty-nine heavenly tribulations, the ninety-nine heavenly tribulations are a hundred times more powerful.

Within almost a light year, calamity clouds are emerging.

A flash of lightning will illuminate the surrounding area for dozens of light years.

When Jiang Yuan saw this, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"What a terrifying heavenly calamity! No wonder people in ancient times were so terrified by the news of heavenly calamity!"

Dugu Bo looked at the strange vision above his head and nodded in agreement.

"The stronger your strength, the stronger the heavenly tribulation will be!"

"If I were a perfect cultivator at the Four Extremes Realm, the heavenly tribulation would be much weaker than this."

“Now, the scope of my Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is recorded in ancient books as being no less than an ordinary saint’s thunder tribulation!”

"But for me, a bullet can break it!"

After saying this, Dugu Bo looked at Jiang Yuan with a little emotion.

"You can control the calamity. This is truly an incredible skill!"

"If it weren't for you, I might have ended up here for the rest of my life!"

"Even if the calamity of heaven reappears on earth, I can't make up for what was lost before!"

Jiang Yuan said: "The dean has helped students a lot before. For students, this is just a piece of cake! This is what students should do!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was immediately filled with emotion.

"Taking you as my student is the wisest decision I have ever made in my life."

"I also believe that you will definitely go further than me in the path of the physical body. This path may only flourish in your hands!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Dean, I already have some ideas about the sixth level of the physical body!"

Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Dugu Bo's eyes lit up instantly.

"Oh," he then said excitedly, "Tell me about it, I'll see if it's feasible!"

Jiang Yuan said: "Don't worry, the idea is not mature yet, and the conditions are quite high. The dean's soul is needed to complete this ultimate leap."

"Perhaps at that moment, the dean will naturally think of this step."

After saying this, Jiang Yuan looked up at the thunder tribulation that was ready to strike above his head.

Then he said, "Dean, I will take a step back! Dean, please don't be careless!"

"Go!" Dugu Bo smiled faintly: "You don't need to worry about this calamity. The mere nine-nine heavenly calamities can't break my holy body!"

Jiang Yuan also nodded slightly, moved his body, and retreated quickly.

After a moment, it was out of the range of the calamity cloud.

Stopping a light year away from Dugu Bo, Jiang Yuan looked ahead quietly.

At this time, Ye Chanxi also slowly came to Jiang Yuan.

"What a powerful Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!" Ye Chanxi's eyes also revealed surprise.

Jiang Yuan did not look back, and said solemnly: "It is indeed terrifying! The calamity cloud covers an area of ​​one light year in radius. Can you withstand this kind of thunder calamity?"

Ye Chanxi said: "Nine-Nine Heaven Tribulations is no problem. After all, my strength is much, much weaker than that of the Holy Emperor! The momentum of my Nine-Nine Heaven Tribulations is not so vast!"

"It won't be a problem to get across!"

"But it's hard to say about the Saint Tribulation! I don't know how powerful it will be!"

Right at this moment.

Snap——

A loud bang tore the starry sky apart.

The area within several light years was illuminated by this heavenly calamity into a blazing white.

Jiang Yuan suddenly saw the void shattered, and the direction where Dugu Bo was directly turned into nothingness, and the terrifying lightning instantly annihilated him.

At the same time, the heavenly calamity looming above slowly sank, and its aura became heavier.

In the area covered by the calamity clouds, thunder as thick as pillars continuously tore through the deep space of the universe.

Where the calamity cloud fell, the void was directly split into nothingness, and a space storm was flowing there.

After one calamity cloud fell, a second calamity was brewing in the sky.

But even so, the aftermath of the heavenly calamity alone was enough to submerge Dugu Bo's figure in the vast ocean of thunder.

Jiang Yuan slowly withdrew his gaze and said to Ye Chanxi.

"How about it, do you still want to survive the nine-nine heavenly tribulations?"

Ye Chanxi nodded heavily: "No problem, no matter how strong the Nine-Nine Heaven Tribulation is, it will be amplified because of my cultivation."

"With my current cultivation level, it is much easier than when I was in the Fourth Extreme Realm. There is no way I can't make it!"

Jiang Yuan nodded: "Yes!"

Then he added: "Are you ready now?"

"Yeah!" Ye Chanxi nodded slightly: "Of course!"

Jiang Yuan's mind moved slightly when he heard this.

Boom boom

Thunder rumbles.

Endless calamity clouds appeared in the universe, madly converging towards the top of their heads.

Jiang Yuan looked quietly above his head, wondering how big the calamity cloud above his head was.

A moment later.

Jiang Yuan looked at the size of the area covered by the calamity cloud lock above his head. It was only three or four percent of the size of Dugu Bo's nine-nine heavenly calamity.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"From this point of view, there should be no problem!"

Ye Chanxi also nodded and said: "Based on this scale, there is no problem! My saintly tribulation may only be equal to the nine-nine heavenly tribulation of the current Saint Emperor!"

"To me, the threat of Saint Tribulation is probably just that, not dangerous."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan immediately understood what Ye Chanxi meant.

Now Ye Chanxi has reached the perfection of the cave heaven realm, and the next step is to prove the way to become a saint! She probably also wants to overcome the saintly tribulation and become a saint. In this way, the saintly fruit she condenses will be even more powerful.

Jiang Yuan then said, "We can discuss this matter after you have passed the nine-nine heavenly tribulations. If you are very confident, I will let you pass the saintly tribulation once, and then prove your Dao and become a saint!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chanxi immediately nodded with joy on her face.

Jiang Yuan said: "Be well prepared and don't be careless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved and disappeared into the distance in an instant.
