With the completion of the Five Primordial Qi, the "Using Qi to Govern the World" section of the "Huangji Jingshi Shu" has gradually reached its completion.
Bai Cang's next task was to comprehend the Dao of "Taiyi" and "Taichu" and use them as the core to create and perfect the "Yuanhui Yunshi" book, so that the "Huangji Jingshi Shu" could be completed.
His cultivation before merging with the Great Dao will also come to an end.
However, neither comprehending the Great Dao nor perfecting one's cultivation technique can be accomplished overnight.
Bai Cang has basically done everything he can do right now.
The only thing left to do is to overcome the nine tribulations and escape the three calamities, and reach the level of a perfect Dao Lord, in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
After all, after each tribulation, one's cultivation level will experience an explosive increase.
Bai Cang's foundation is so solid that it can be considered unique throughout history.
That's why he was able to survive six heavenly tribulations in succession when he first attained the primordial spirit.
However, his potential to overcome six tribulations had already been largely exhausted after the Five Qi were perfected.
His cultivation level at this moment is now far greater than it was fifty years ago.
Even if we take a step back and say that a Perfect Dao Lord's cultivation level is enough to comprehend the Great Dao and perfect his cultivation techniques, his efficiency would be many times higher than that of a Six Tribulation Dao Lord.
With this thought in mind, Bai Cang immediately triggered his seventh Heavenly Tribulation.
"Boom!"
In an instant, on Fangcun Mountain.
At the summit of the Heavenly Divine Mountain, Bai Cang's figure materialized out of thin air.
Suddenly, dark clouds gathered and thunder roared across the once clear sky.
The boundless, dark clouds of calamity gathered almost instantly.
Boundless, blazing crimson lightning, like scorching heavenly fire, scorched space and time, causing them to distort slightly.
With a thunderous roar, nine crimson lightning balls, each as large as a mountain, crashed down from the sky.
Boundless, blazing lightning intertwined and crisscrossed in the void.
It seemed to have triggered a calamity from the depths of the universe, connecting with the innate Great Dao of Thunder, and condensing into a magnificent array that continuously unleashed a terrifying and incomparable aura of destruction.
It caused time to distort, the void to shatter, and even the rules of heaven and earth to be constantly scorched.
The nine lightning orbs, resembling meteors from the heavens, pierced through "time tunnels" and extended towards Bai Cang.
"Is someone undergoing tribulation?"
Within a speck of dust, Jue Luo Daojun suddenly sensed something amiss and hurriedly leaped into the high heavens. "Could it be that the old thief Zhenru sensed something was wrong and was trying to help the Void commoner overcome the Nine Tribulations?"
Before he could finish speaking, the blurry figure of Daoist Gan Ying had already materialized beside him.
"Is that kid? No wonder he was so fierce. It turns out he has already passed the Six Tribulations of Heaven and advanced to become a Six Tribulations Dao Lord after just one Nascent Soul stage!"
A look of realization flashed across Gan Ying Daojun's eyes, and then he said to Jue Luo Daojun, "Fellow Daoist Jue Luo, prepare yourselves, and don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Jue Luo exclaimed, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's make our move!"
Gan Ying Daojun shook his head, "Don't rush, let him be arrogant for a while. A mere heavenly tribulation can't do anything to him."
When he has completed his nine tribulations and is severely weakened, wouldn't it be even more legitimate for him to transform into an external demon and obstruct the path?
Upon hearing this, Daojun Jueluo was greatly alarmed!
There is another threshold between the Nine Tribulations Dao Lord and the One Calamity Dao Lord.
That is: "Demon Tribulation".
Only by overcoming the demonic tribulation can a Nine Tribulation Dao Lord reach the level of a "First Calamity Dao Lord," thus avoiding the "Thunder Calamity."
Many Dao Lords of the Nine Tribulations in this era are stuck at this step and cannot advance for a long time.
This is because the number of demonic tribulations is not fixed; there are three types: external demons, heavenly demons, and inner demons.
The Heavenly Demon is one who seizes the Dao!
Inner demons are those whose inner demons are rampant!
External demons, external demons obstruct the path of the Lord!
Moreover, there are no fixed rules for the three types of demonic tribulations.
It could be that all three demons arrive at once, or that they come one by one over a long period of time, or there might simply be only one kind of demonic tribulation.
In the Great Crimson Heaven, there is an old saying: Heavenly demons are easy to subdue, inner demons are difficult to subdue, and external demons are immeasurable!
The demon seizing power is not scary.
Among the Taoist masters of the Xuanmen sect, there is no shortage of various methods to deal with the Heavenly Demons.
It has even evolved to the point where people regard "the demon seizing the Dao" as an opportunity and a way to express gratitude for nature's bounty.
It is easy to defeat the bandits in the mountains, but difficult to defeat the bandits in one's heart.
When inner demons arise, endless calamities bewilder the mind.
No one can be sure that they can subdue their inner demons.
They have no idea what outrageous things they might do when their inner demons are rampant.
But what's more troublesome than inner demons is external demons that obstruct the path.
It's because this thing is like opening a blind box; nobody knows what "surprise" they'll get.
Moreover, it has absolutely no pattern and relies heavily on randomness.
The malevolent god, who may have enemies all over the world, perished on his own due to a series of coincidences.
It's also possible that a "good person" with friends all over the world might inexplicably offend a powerful being who simply doesn't like him and transforms into an external demon to obstruct his path.
There are even cases where a Nine Tribulation Dao Lord who has made "thorough preparations" is about to advance in rank, only to suddenly discover that his "external demon" is actually a Golden Immortal who has achieved Dao Integration.
Those who are lucky enough can escape into the Netherworld and survive under the protection of the Netherworld Phoenix.
Some unlucky ones were instantly crushed into dust.
But none of that matters. What matters is: how long has that kid been at the Nascent Soul stage? How could he possibly survive the Nine Heavens Tribulation?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Wouldn't that make all these veteran Dao Lords look like useless trash?
Did all their millennia of cultivation go to waste on dogs?
As if guessing Jue Luo Daojun's thoughts, Gan Ying Daojun said calmly, "Whether it succeeds or not, we'll know at a glance!"
Jue Luo Daojun had not yet witnessed Bai Cang's "evil nature," so naturally he dared not believe in evil.
But he had suffered losses before, and more than once!
Back then, he was full of ambition and wanted to seize a primordial root path from a prominent sect of the time.
Moreover, he possessed the "Great Law of the Big Dipper" and created the "True Body of the Five Dragon Emperor Demon," gaining the blessing of the Demonic Sect's fortune. He considered himself to be invincible.
The result was that a new Xuanmen sect emerged in the Central Plains, and the fortunes of the Divine Sect and the Demonic Sect remained sluggish and unable to recover.
If it weren't for his various fortunate opportunities, he probably would have lost his own life.
Many years later, those who had once prevented him from attaining enlightenment had long since left the Great Crimson Heaven.
Only then did he dare to secretly absorb the demonic sect's fortune, preparing to once again attempt to break through to the "True Body of the Five Dragon Emperor Demon".
But inexplicably, that kid tricked her again, and she ended up doing all the work for him.
Even when he tried to test Bai Cang, he was given a harsh lesson.
Given such circumstances, how could he dare to underestimate anyone?
This time, he will definitely not be arrogant.
Even when a lion is hunting a rabbit, it must exert all its strength!
Thinking of this, Gan Ying Daojun couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart.
That was the true form of the Primordial Heavenly Demon!
