Chapter 227: Nine-Nine Jade Emperor Heavenly Power, Three Tribulations of Heaven, Earth and Man, Man's Killing Intent Turns the World Upside Down
Jiang Lan probed his spiritual thoughts into the Jade Emperor's ring, and suddenly a faint glow came out from it. Divine light flowed, and a vast sacred sound resounded. Then a stream of clear air gushed out, covering all the divine generals and heavenly soldiers who had rushed out before, and took them in, and they disappeared.
At the same time, a hazy scene appeared before his eyes, like a hazy palace like white jade, floating in the fairy mist, magnificent and sacred, covering the thirty-three heavens, overlooking all living beings and the vast time and space.
Endless world sounds and sacrificial sounds rang out between heaven and earth. In the deepest part of the white jade palace, there seemed to be a figure sitting cross-legged, looking down on all the worlds. He wore a jade crown on his head, his face was blurred, and the crown was drooping, covering his true appearance. He exuded an aura of supreme dignity that shocked the world.
Jiang Lan's gaze fell, and the blurry figure seemed to be looking at him as well.
In a trance, Jiang Lan saw clearly the face shrouded in the misty fog, and he couldn't help but be startled...
He actually saw his own face? The next moment, as if a mist blew in, the palace high above the thirty-three heavens slowly disappeared like a scroll, completely covered up and no longer visible.
"Anyone who obtains the Jade Emperor's Ring should all see this scene. It is like a mirror that allows one to see one's true self. Only by believing that one will become the future Heavenly Emperor can one understand the Dao and become invincible."
"And this Jade Palace..."
"It should be the dojo that the Emperor of Heaven left in the human world before he attained enlightenment."
Jiang Lan pondered.
The Jade Emperor's Ring itself is similar to a divine object that was melted into Mount Sumeru. The scope of the domain inside is boundless, like a complete and independent world, which is by no means comparable to the space inside the Book of Mediation and Creation that he had obtained before.
Mountains, rivers, sun, moon, stars, caves, palaces, dragon pools, jade trees, everything is available.
Some stone chambers still contain some alchemy and medical classics, ancient authentic inscriptions, and various spiritual practice experiences and insights, the understanding and exploration of the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and the enlightenment of the chaos of the universe and the four poles of heaven and earth.
In one of the quiet rooms, he also saw some unique skills and magical powers that the Emperor of Heaven had created in the human world.
The Heavenly Emperor Palm that Xia Hao had just performed was also among them, but its name was not "Heavenly Emperor Palm" but Jade Emperor Palm.
In addition, there is also the Heavenly Emperor's research and exploration experience on each of the Three Thousand Great Avenues, which is extremely valuable knowledge.
Xia Hao hadn't even truly comprehended or grasped a tiny bit of this.
For Jiang Lan, this is a treasure that is more important and precious than the inheritance of the Holy Son of Taiyi Sect.
If he could digest all the knowledge and experience here, his cultivation strength would rise to a terrifying level again.
"As far as I can remember, the Jade Emperor's Ring can only be regarded as a Xumi Space, and it cannot be regarded as the true inheritance of the Jade Emperor."
"The most important thing in the Jade Emperor Palace is the Nine-Nine Jade Emperor Scriptures, which is the foundation of the Heavenly Emperor's enlightenment. It is also known as the Nine-Nine Jade Emperor Heavenly Art. It is the supreme heavenly art created by the Heavenly Emperor after he comprehended the supreme principles of heaven and earth, and understood the nine supreme ways of life and death, reincarnation, cause and effect, time and space, creation, and immortality."
"Since Xia Hao has obtained the Jade Emperor's Ring, he must have entered the Jade Emperor's Palace."
Jiang Lan focused his thoughts and did not continue to immerse himself in the Jade Emperor Ring.
In the outside world, Xia Hao had been tortured inhumanely by Chong Xiuyuan. His face was swollen and his eyes could hardly open. However, he had cultivation after all, so he just looked a little miserable, and his injuries were not serious.
"Young Master, how do we deal with this person?" Chong Xiuyuan stopped torturing Xia Hao when he saw Jiang Lan coming.
"You can do it yourself."
Jiang Lan said casually, raised his hand and grabbed Xia Hao, who flew uncontrollably into his hand. He quickly finished reading his memory and threw it back to the ground.
Things turned out pretty much as he expected.
Xia Hao himself can only be considered a lucky guy. Ten years ago, he was spotted by the people of Hulong Mountain and brought back to the mountain to practice, and by the way, serve a certain royal ancestor.
Originally, his fate was determined like that of other boy catamites. When he grew older and his looks faded, he would be abandoned and sent down the mountain.
But more than half a year ago, fate took a different turn.
When Xia Hao was bathing in a pool on the back mountain of Hulong Mountain, he unexpectedly saw a hazy light in the Yanglongtan in the distance and heard bursts of dragon roars. So he bravely went over and saw a group of hazy light in the Hulongtan.
When he jumped into the pool and touched the ball of hazy light, the world spun before his eyes. When he came to his senses, he was standing in front of a magnificent and sacred palace like white jade.
In that white jade palace, he saw many incredible scenes and understood many things. After all, he was serving a certain imperial ancestor in Hulong Mountain. Through the influence of what he saw and heard, he also learned some of the great secrets of heaven and earth, and naturally he also knew who the Emperor of Heaven was.
Xia Hao was ecstatic, thinking that he had been recognized by the Emperor of Heaven and had inherited his legacy, making him the legitimate future Emperor of Heaven.
But in the end he could only take away one of the white jade rings.
Despite this, with the help of the white jade ring, Xia Hao's status in Huolong Mountain has undergone a drastic change, especially gaining the recognition of the dragon soul in Yanglongtan.
There are many rumors about Yanglongtan in Daxia.
It is said that there is a Sun and Moon Cold Pond in the Hulong Mountain. When the founding emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty first established the dynasty, he encountered many troubles and obstacles. Various powerful families occupied the area and he was attacked many times.
Once he encountered a powerful enemy and fled to the Sun and Moon Cold Pond, where the sun and moon shone brightly, the mist and clouds trembled, and there were thousands of auspicious colors. A five-clawed golden dragon rushed out from the sky and helped the founding emperor kill the enemy. Afterwards, the dragon assisted the founding emperor in quelling rebellions in various places, and thus established the Great Xia Dynasty.
Since then, the founding emperor of Daxia changed the name of Riyue Cold Pond to Yanglong Pond.
After the death of the founding emperor, blood was seeping out of the Yanglong Pond. An old man saw a real dragon rise into the sky and follow the emperor. The real dragon was gone, but the dragon soul remained here forever and fell asleep in the Yanglong Pond.
Of course, Jiang Lan didn't take this rumor seriously. A true dragon was a creature that surpassed saints, so how could it recognize an emperor in the mortal world?
There is indeed a dragon soul sleeping in the Yanglong Pond, but it is at most the soul of a Qionglong.
"If you want to enter the Jade Emperor Palace, you still need an opportunity, and you can't force it. But with the Jade Emperor's Ring, maybe I can use the law of cause and effect to track it and find where the Jade Emperor Palace is hidden in the depths of time and space..."
Afterwards, Jiang Lan handed over the aftermath to Chong Xiuyuan and disappeared.
Emperor Xia had her own considerations on how to deal with the clan affairs office next, and a big reason why he took action was actually to attract the attention of all parties.
The outside forces will also be involved next. Although he has arranged Chong Xiuyuan in the Chongming Star Territory, Jiang Lan also plans to deploy some other chess pieces for the sake of safety.
With his current cultivation strength, it is enough to attract the attention of those Taoist forces in the outside world.
After three months, great changes will take place in the world. If these Taoist forces do not get involved and prepare, it will be too late.
The situation of the Zongrenfu was hopeless, and none of the royal family members could escape. In the end, they were all captured by the Jiantiansi people, thrown into prison, and awaited their fate.
This incident caused a sensation in the entire imperial capital, and the subsequent fermentation and impact of events continued to spread, causing an uproar throughout Daxia.
Many aristocratic families were implicated, and there was a major reshuffle of power in the court.
However, these things have nothing to do with Jiang Lan anymore.
After returning to the palace, he immediately went into seclusion, sorting out the knowledge and experience in the Jade Emperor Ring. Then he informed his father Jiang Lintian of his plan to break through the Jieqiao Realm.
In his eyes, nothing is more important than his own cultivation strength. Once he breaks through the eighth realm, his true strength will undergo earth-shaking changes again.
Even facing Ge Qixing, he could deal with it easily.
Moreover, this time, by breaking through the eighth realm, the Jieqiao realm, some big fish hiding in the dark can be caught.
To this end, Jiang Lan intends to make some serious plans.
Afterwards, Emperor Xia also became busy, clearing out the ministers related to Prince Chong'an one by one.
During this process, evidence of secret letters showing collusion between some orthodox forces in Dongyuan Prefecture and Prince Chong'an was also found.
There is also evidence that they went to the Dao Cang Sword Sect and persuaded the Yuqing Sword Immortal to take action.
Emperor Xia was furious at this and immediately sealed off the four city gates of the imperial capital. He also sent people from the Immortal Suppression Division to patrol and search to find the people from Dongyuan Prefecture.
The imperial capital was once again plunged into a bloody storm.
The monks of Taoist holy places such as the Wangyue Ancient Sect in Dongyuan Prefecture, the Yinxu Holy Land, and the Zhenwu Kingdom were also purged and fled and hid in the imperial capital.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, a powerful man in the eighth realm who had been hiding for a long time was forced to show up, forced the people from the Zhenxian Division to retreat, and wanted to break out of the siege with the troops from Dongyuan Prefecture. As a result, in the palace, Emperor Xia made a move brazenly, with endless dragon energy around him, and killed him with one palm, with blood splattering in the sky.
In the imperial capital, she is inherently invincible.
Shocked by this, the various holy places and sects in Dongyuan Prefecture had to calm down and dared not act rashly.
The imperial capital finally calmed down, but many people could feel that with the fall of the Zongrenfu, the situation in Daxia would also change greatly. This was only calm on the surface, and undercurrents were still surging in secret.
After confiscating the clan house, Emperor Xia naturally gained a lot of good things.
She seemed to have realized the importance of improving her cultivation, so after handing over many important matters of the court to the newly appointed Nine Ministers, she planned to continue her retreat and prepare to break through to the second step of the Jieqiao Realm.
However, after learning that Jiang Lan was about to break through to the Jieqiao realm, she had to postpone her retreat.
"The Eighth Realm Tribulation Bridge Realm is no small matter. This tribulation is also crucial and we cannot be careless."
Emperor Xia frowned and ordered Chunlan and others to take out several extremely precious ancient treasures from the national treasury. Then, she was still not at ease, so she personally used the dragon energy of Great Xia as the source to refine several imperial dragon talismans and gave them to Jiang Lan.
As Jiang Lan was sorting out the knowledge in the Jade Emperor Ring, his cultivation strength was slowly increasing. He felt that he was almost unable to suppress it.
This is different from suppressing the realm. The prerequisite for suppressing the realm is that one has already been able to integrate the cultivation and magic power and make light of heavy tasks.
As for his current situation, his cultivation and magic power have become so profound and surging that they have gone beyond the level that he can control at his current level.
If it is necessary to suppress it by force, then it can be suppressed, but Jiang Lan never likes to suppress his own realm. When it is time to break through, he will let it happen naturally, letting his heart move as it pleases, free and happy.
"I have been prepared for this. You don't need to worry. After this disaster, the world will be peaceful and the nine provinces will be unified." Jiang Lan said with a smile.
Time passed quickly, and three days later.
In a vast mountain area thousands of miles away from the imperial capital, Jiang Lintian stood on a steep cliff with his hands behind his back. Clouds and mist were floating around. Beside him, there followed a hunchbacked old man in a black robe.
"Prime Minister, Master Jiang Lan's breakthrough this time will probably cause quite a stir. The oppressive aura he exuded before the catastrophe alone far exceeds the records of any genius or evildoer in the classics."
"In my opinion, when Young Master Jiang Lan enters the Jieqiao Realm this time, he may encounter the legendary Gate of Nirvana."
“If it would be best, we should let the young master go back to Taiyi Sect to make a breakthrough.” The old man in black robe looked at the vast mountains, his eyes showing some shock and expectation.
"Master Lian Ji, you said so too. It seems that Lan'er's tribulation this time is indeed extraordinary."
"The Gate of Nirvana is a portal that even saints have never touched. With Lan'er's talent, she should not encounter any danger..." Jiang Lintian nodded slightly, looking into the depths of the mountains with a deep and thoughtful look.
“Young Master Jiang Lan can definitely handle this calamity, but I’m worried that the noise will be too loud and might bring unexpected trouble.” The black-robed old man named Master Ji replied.
As the head of Tianji Pavilion, he knew a lot about the secrets of various classics, including someone like Jiang Lan who was only at the seventh realm but could easily kill a powerful being at the eighth realm.
The heavenly tribulation that breaks through the Tribulation Bridge Realm is also rare in ancient and modern times. He didn't know what would happen until he saw it with his own eyes.
"Unexpected trouble?"
"With me protecting Lan'er, whoever dares to stop him will fight to the death."
Jiang Lintian threw away his robe, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Three days ago, he received news that Jiang Lan was going to break through to the Jieqiao realm.
For this reason, he did not continue to liquidate the many Taoist forces in Daxia, but instead mobilized back many of his retainers and worshippers, and even asked the Li family to send experts to come and protect him.
Jiang Lan breaking through the Eight Realms Tribulation Bridge was a very serious matter. If Jiang Lan had not accumulated a lot of strength and was almost unable to be suppressed, he would have planned to let Jiang Lan return to Taiyi Sect to break through.
However, Jiang Lan seemed very calm and casual about this, not too worried at all. He said that he would just find a place with rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth to break through.
Jiang Lintian is an experienced person. When he first broke through the Jieqiao realm, he encountered a lot of trouble. Many enemies heard the news and came to block his way.
Fortunately, Jiang Lan only told him the news, which was very secretive and not leaked out.
Otherwise, many enemies who cannot hold back will definitely not let go of such an opportunity to stop him. Jiang Lan's threat is already big enough. Once he successfully enters the eighth realm, the pattern of Zhongtianzhou and even Jiuzhou will be completely settled.
And when Jiang Lan broke through the eighth level to the Jieqiao level, he was also the easiest to deal with.
"Young Master Jiang Lan is the future Heavenly Emperor. Since he said so, he must have had plans long ago." Master Ji said in a deep voice, looking at the vast mountains.
Jiang Lintian nodded. He had already arranged people around this area. Not even a bird could be allowed in within a radius of thousands of miles.
In addition, there are various formations and ancient artifacts to conceal the aura, and the preparations are very sufficient.
But he was still a little worried. When he first entered the Tribulation Bridge Realm, there were three tribulations in total: heaven, earth, and man. The two tribulations of heaven and earth were easier to overcome, but the human tribulation involved cause and effect in the dark and was the easiest to die from.
At this time, those who have had entanglements and hatreds with Jiang Lan will feel it vaguely. The stronger their cultivation strength, the stronger the feeling.
How could they miss such a good opportunity?
Boom!!!
Just as Jiang Lintian and Master Ji were communicating, a terrifying roar that resounded through the heavens and earth suddenly came from the depths of the vast mountains. Silently, the sky turned dark.
Layers of dark clouds suddenly appeared there, like pieces of light mist floating up and down, with thunder as thick as mountains running through them. It was like an immortal continent, causing the entire sky to become turbulent and shake in all directions.
“Oh no…”
"Prime Minister, there is no way we can conceal this." Master Ji's expression changed instantly when he saw this scene.
Jiang Lintian also frowned and said, "Lan'er, have you underestimated your own heavenly tribulation this time? This power will kill any ordinary eighth-level powerhouse who comes into contact with it."
As this terrifying sound rang out, the mountains began to tremble. All the monsters and monsters in them were frightened and fell to their knees, trembling in fear, their eyes filled with fear of the vast power of heaven.
Above the sky, clouds were gathering, turning dark and dense, and soon all kinds of lightning converged. It was no longer an ordinary calamity cloud, but a deep sea of thunder, like a vast ocean. The scene was too terrifying.
"Prime Minister, the power of this heavenly tribulation cannot be concealed by formations at all."
“Even in a small world, it cannot bear such a mighty force of heaven and earth. Young Master Jiang Lan’s heavenly tribulation this time has never appeared in any historical books.” Master Ji’s voice trembled slightly.
There was no need for Master Ji to say much. Jiang Lintian's expression was also very solemn at this moment. Li Ran was in seclusion and could not be contacted at all. Otherwise, with Li Ran's protection, everything would be safe.
Even for him, it was the first time that he saw such a magnificent and terrifying natural disaster.
At this time, a vast sea of thunder, as vast as a river, gathered above the mountains. Rays of lightning shot up into the sky, piercing through the sky and earth, and even sank into the outer world.
A dull rumbling sound, like the beating of war drums or the vibration of heavenly music, was heard, accompanied by one angry thunder after another, falling from there, covering the entire sky and earth. The vast and trembling power of heaven also slowly spread out.
Even a powerful being in the eighth realm would feel palpitations and fear in the face of such an aura, let alone ordinary creatures.
Such a scene cannot be concealed at all.
"Could it be that someone is going to survive the Eight Realms Tribulation Bridge Tribulation?"
From a distance, some monks noticed the scene here, their eyes wide open, stunned and incredulous.
Soon, one after another, thick lightning as big as mountains exploded here, blinding and blazing, like the sun falling to the earth.
The boundless might also completely shook and spread out. The entire mountain range was rumbling and shaking, and the sky was like being struck by a war drum.
One figure after another flew high into the sky, and when one looked from afar, one was stunned and shocked.
"Sure enough, someone is about to transcend the tribulation..."
“Is this the Heavenly Tribulation of the Eight Realms or the Holy Tribulation of Sainthood?”
Some monks of the older generation were so shocked that they were speechless.
The scene was so shocking that they would have believed it if it was a sea of natural disaster falling down.
"This place is not far from the imperial capital. Who on earth is going through this calamity? This is the first time I've seen such a terrifying calamity."
Many people flew high into the sky and watched from afar, but no one dared to approach.
Soon, as the aura of the heavenly calamity grew deeper, horrifying thunder roared again, and dazzling light pierced through the sky and earth. These people could hardly stand and almost fell from the void, their eyes filled with horror.
At this time, let alone the imperial capital, even outside the region, one could see an extremely terrifying scene.
The blazing and dazzling lightning pierced through the sky and sank into the starry sky. Dense lights kept exploding, and layer after layer of lightning kept approaching, more terrifying than before. This no longer seemed like a tribulation, but rather a heavenly calamity that would destroy the world.
The mountains were vast and the area within a radius of thousands of miles was covered. Nothing could be seen except the extremely dazzling light.
At this time, even Jiang Lintian and Master Ji had to retreat and fly to a distant place.
"Is that the Prime Minister?"
"Could it be that the person who survived the tribulation was Jiang Lan?"
"Hiss, why is it him again..."
"How did he practice so amazingly? How long did it take him to break through the seventh realm? Was it half a year?"
Someone recognized Jiang Lintian, and was even more shocked, and guessed the identity of the person who was undergoing the tribulation at this time.
But at the moment, that place was so bright and dazzling that there was no sight at all, and it was impossible to tell what the situation would be like for the people standing in it.
The mighty thunder resounded in the virtual space. More and more monks came from this area and gathered in a distant place, staring at it in great shock.
It was the first time for many people to see the Eight Realms Tribulation, and it was so terrifying that they were shocked.
"There are three calamities in the eight realms of heavenly tribulation: heavenly, earthly, and human. This is really just the beginning of the heavenly tribulation..."
"As expected, the more evil a person is, the more terrifying the heavenly tribulation will be. The way of heaven requires checks and balances, but if even the heavenly tribulation is so terrifying, what about the earthly tribulation and human tribulation that will follow?"
Some living fossil-level characters were alarmed and appeared in this area, staring at it with eyes like magic lamps.
"Jiang Lan did not return to Taiyi Sect to break through, but broke through outside the imperial capital. It seems that he can no longer be suppressed."
"With the protection of Taiyi Sect, the human calamity should be easily overcome, but the current situation is uncertain."
"In the dark, everything is destined. He is destined to have this disaster..."
"When the sky is filled with murderous intent, the stars will move and change their positions; when the earth is filled with murderous intent, dragons and snakes will rise from the land; when people are filled with murderous intent, heaven and earth will turn upside down. No matter how brilliant and dazzling a genius is, there will be a day when his curtain falls at any time."
A cultivator stared at the scene with a grim look and whispered, while crushing the jade talisman in his hand.
At this moment, Jiang Lintian, who was standing in the void, felt something. He stared at a certain place in the void with a cold look in his eyes. He raised his hand and slapped it directly like a wave hitting the sky. The person in the middle didn't even make a groan before he exploded with a bang, turned into a bloody mist, and died tragically in it.
His action instantly frightened many people around him, causing them to turn pale and feel a chill on their backs. They quickly collected their thoughts.
"Lan'er, does he have his own plans?"
"Or use yourself as bait?"
Many figures gathered around Jiang Lintian. He looked at the increasingly blazing mountains, his eyes filled with worry. This calamity would not end in a short time. The longer it lasted, the more cultivators would come.
At the same time, somewhere in Dongyuan Prefecture, outside the entrance of a chaotic cave that was deep and boundless and seemed to have existed since the beginning of the world, several figures in ancient clothes stood respectfully, and a long-standing, vast and boundless will was slowly reviving among them.
