Chapter 617: Refining the Soul through Thunder Tribulation
The soul of a powerful person who has transformed into a spirit can be tempered by thunder tribulation, which can remove the yin energy in the soul and transform it into a pure yang state. This is also a test that every pure yang powerhouse must go through.
Thunder disasters are much more dangerous than fire disasters and wind disasters. You must know that no matter how powerful the soul is, it is ultimately the condensation of the spirit soul and consciousness. The most feared thing is thunder that contains the innate yin and yang power of life and death.
According to past records, only one out of a hundred strong men who have passed the thunder tribulation and achieved the Pure Yang Dao is terribly low.
Among the powerful gods in Jiuzhou today, very few would try to actively trigger a thunder tribulation, as this level is really too difficult to overcome.
Gao Xian is very aware of this. Even if he has three Nascent Souls, they will immediately turn into ashes if they come into contact with a thunder tribulation.
However, this is the mortal world. Although the gathered thunder power is strong, it is also limited by the lack of spiritual energy. Moreover, this is different from the thunder tribulation faced by the powerful gods.
The thunder tribulation that the powerful gods have to endure comes from the nine heavens. It is the result of the interaction between the qi of heaven, earth and man, and it has supreme divine power.
The dark clouds and thunder gathered above his head were nothing more than the extremely evil yin qi triggering the induction of the qi of heaven and earth, which triggered the thunder. This was fundamentally different from the real thunder tribulation and could not be compared.
Although the foul air had merged with his body and soul, it was still an external force. The lightning that was drawn was also aimed at the foul air, not at his soul.
This difference is fundamentally different from a thunder tribulation.
The power of thunder from heaven can only cleanse the evil spirit from his body, and the thunder tribulation will naturally end.
On the other hand, this is actually a precious opportunity to experience a thunder tribulation.
The thunder of heaven and earth contains the power of yin and yang, and has the power to destroy everything, but it also contains the vitality to give birth to all things. Because of this, the soul that has been tempered by thunder can reach a higher level and prove the pure yang.
Gao Xian thought of this and began to look forward to the thunder tribulation. It was not because he was arrogant, but because he had two clones, so if he couldn't stand it anymore, he could transfer instantly.
Even if there is still some foul air left in the body that has not been cleared away, it will not pose much threat.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, the wind was howling, and heavy rain was pouring down amid faint thunder.
Gao Xian activated the Xuanhuang Divine Light, completely blocking the rainstorm and strong wind. The thunder that had been brewing in the dark clouds for a while finally flashed out, making a thunderous roar that shook the earth.
The blue-white lightning suddenly fell from the sky like a curved long sword and hit Gao Xian directly.
Gao Xian urged the Xuanhuang Divine Light to meet it, and the rapidly spinning dark golden light wheel shattered as soon as it came into contact with the lightning, and the invisible barrier formed by the positive and negative five elements of Gangqi also shattered along with it.
The power of thunder brewed by heaven and earth is far greater than any thunder magic, and its ferocity and tyranny far exceeds Gao Xian's expectations.
The golden light curtain falling from the Five Elements Lotus Crown on his body and the Tai Chi Mysterious Light Formless Divine Cloth were all shattered by the thunder. At the critical moment, Gao Xian flicked his long sleeves to activate the Anti-Five Elements Extinction Divine Sword.
The sword light, as clear and bright as water, slashed back and hit the surging falling lightning.
The Anti-Five Elements Extinction Divine Sword was a unique secret technique that Gao Xian had created by combining the Anti-Five Elements Extinction Divine Sword. It was a smaller version of the Great Five Elements Divine Light. It was also the strongest secret technique that he could control as he wished.
Even though the mortal world lacked spiritual energy, the power of this sword was enough to break mountains and split the earth. The fierce thunder was chopped and exploded on the spot, breaking into millions of sparks.
Even so, a part of the power of thunder still penetrated into Gao Xian's brows, stimulating the nine-pointed star deep in his brows.
The deep blue starlight of the Pojun Divine Talisman became brighter and completely dissolved this part of the thunder power.
The first thunderbolt was completely resolved by Gao Xian, and it can be said that he was unscathed. However, Gao Xian looked solemn. He thought that thunderbolts in the mortal world were nothing, but he had to use all his strength to resolve the first thunderbolt.
Judging from the endless thunder power brewing in the sky, it was normal to have dozens or hundreds of thunders. Not to mention the thunder caused by foul air pollution, even dozens of thunders on ordinary rainy days were very common.
Gao Xian couldn't say he was afraid, but he felt a little more cautious.
The second thunderbolt followed, and Gao Xian had experience this time, so he used the Anti-Five Elements Extinction Divine Sword to counter it. Various protective spells had little effect against thunder spells, so it was better to directly use the secret spell to counter it.
The Anti-Five Elements Extinction Divine Sword was indeed very powerful. It could even barely resist the mighty thunder from heaven. The remaining thunder was completely blocked by the Destroying Army Divine Talisman.
It would be daytime, and the power of the Pojun Divine Scroll would be affected to some extent. Even so, the star power of the Pojun Divine Scroll was strong enough to protect Gao Xian's body and soul.
Even though he was tainted by the foul air, in fact, the foul air had not yet been able to truly break through the protection of the Pojun Divine Scroll. He was just wrapped in the foul air, like a layer of paint on his body, and there was no good way to remove it for the time being.
Thunderbolts fell one after another, with Gao Xian as the center. The lightning that was cut by the Anti-Five Elements Extinction Divine Sword exploded into countless electric sparks around Gao Xian's body.
The entire sky above Baishishi Island was covered with electric sparks, and the brilliant and changing light was so dazzling, like the most gorgeous fireworks in the dark night.
Gao Xian was in no mood to appreciate such a wonderful sight. He felt a little exhausted after unleashing more than thirty Anti-Five Elements Extinction Divine Swords in a row.
This method is extremely powerful, but it also consumes a lot of mana.
Judging from the power of thunder accumulated in the sky, only one tenth of the thunder tribulation had passed. The foul energy on his body had only dissipated one or two points in the lightning.
The fun has just begun! Gao Xian felt it was a bit difficult. Even if he had three Nascent Souls, it would be difficult for him to hold on to the end.
He decided to try a different approach. The Anti-Five Elements Extinction Divine Sword still consumed too much mana and spiritual awareness, and was not the best strategy to deal with it.
After counting the cards in his hand, Gao Xian still felt that Taixuan Shenxiang was more resistant.
The first thing about Taixuan Shenxiang is that he has a high level of cultivation, having reached the tenth level of Nascent Soul.
Of course, Taixuan Shenxiang practices the secret magic of the demon sect, and is naturally restrained by thunder magic. In this regard, he will suffer some disadvantages.
Fortunately, there is the Blood River Heavenly Master Hua Yuan Book. This artifact, which is in the first-level state, is already a fifth-level top-grade artifact. With this artifact in hand, it will be easier and more labor-saving to resist the thunder tribulation. In the past ten years, I have devoted myself to cultivation and have initially mastered the Blood River Heavenly Master Hua Yuan Book.
Gao Xian switched to the Taixuan God phase to preside over his body, and his magic power was transformed into the blood river of infinite Qi. He also had a gorgeous blood-colored robe on his body.
The powerful and pure blood river's boundless Qi caused the thunder in the sky to become even more agitated. The lightning that struck down also seemed to be three times stronger.
Taixuan Shenxiang cannot control Pojun Shenlu, which can only be controlled by the original body. Fortunately, Xuehe Tianzun Huayuanshu is enough.
Gao Xian formed a seal with his hands, and the Blood River Heavenly Venerable Hua Yuan Shu turned into a blood light that shot up into the sky and took the initiative to meet the thunder. The blood light was as intense as fire and as clear as water, and it changed in a myriad of ways under his urging.
No matter how fierce and fierce the lightning was, it could not break the Blood River Heavenly Venerable Huayuan Book. The lightning that fell was eroded and dissolved by the blood light, and finally dissipated completely.
This fifth-grade divine weapon was so powerful that Gao Xian could handle the thunder tribulation with ease thanks to this divine weapon.
This lasted for about an incense stick of time, and the power of the thunder in the sky gradually weakened.
Gao Xian, however, gained a lot from the fight against the thunder tribulation, mainly because the Blood River Heavenly Venerable's Yuanshu was too powerful, allowing him to have enough energy to absorb some of the scattered lightning light to temper his soul and Nascent Soul.
The power of the thunderbolt was too violent, and Gao Xian, though strong, did not dare to take the risk. The scattered lightning only had 1 or 2 percent of its power left, which was very suitable for tempering the soul.
To be honest, such weak thunder power poses no threat to his soul, but it allows him to truly experience the various changes of natural thunder between heaven and earth.
After trying a few times, Gao Xian became bolder. He felt that this was a very valuable opportunity. Of course, it was still too dangerous to face the thunder directly with his soul.
There are three Nascent Souls, but only one Soul. If the Soul is destroyed by a thunderbolt, he will be completely finished.
If that were true, it would be hilarious.
This time, Gao Xian deliberately left about 10% of the lightning, allowing it to penetrate into his sea of consciousness. Under the sacrifice of the lightning, the blood-colored Nascent Soul of Taixuan God was refined, and his Yin Spirit seemed to be on fire.
The originally stable and solid Yin God was boiling and blazing like a flame. Fortunately, the Taixuan God's appearance was originally solid, and with the protection of the Pure Yang Divine Light, he actually withstood the lightning sacrifice.
Although the Blood River Heavenly Master Hua Yuan Shu cultivated by Taixuan Immortal was profound, it was a secret method of the Demon Sect after all. He also borrowed a lot of external objects to cultivate, and made rapid progress all the way, but his foundation was not solid enough after all.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Under the tempering of lightning, the flaws of Taixuan Shenxiang were immediately exposed. The Yin Shen, which was originally extremely stable and solid, could no longer maintain a stable state.
Gao Xian was very surprised, as being able to control the thunder tribulation was of great help to him. Especially since thunder was born naturally from the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and although it was extremely crude and simple, it was superior to countless thunder techniques in terms of level.
More than ten lightning bolts were introduced one after another, and Taixuan Shenxiang's Yuanying had been wrapped in layers of blue and white electric light. The Yin Shen had turned into a ball of red light and could collapse at any time.
No demonic Yuanying would have the courage to do this. After all, the Yuanying and the soul are closely connected. If the Yuanying is cleansed by lightning, the soul will also be implicated and lose consciousness. It is easy to be destroyed in the lightning.
Gao Xian, however, still has two Nascent Souls to protect his spirit and soul, as well as Sister Lan and the Pojun Divine Talisman, so there is no way he would be implicated by the Taixuan Divine Appearance.
Through his powerful spiritual awareness, he can also stably control the Taixuan Divine Phase Nascent Soul.
Originally, he thought that Taixuan Divine Image's Nascent Soul was already quite perfect. However, after being cleansed by lightning, he discovered that Taixuan Divine Image had many problems and was mixed with countless tiny impurities.
These impurities are actually the residues of external spiritual objects and elixirs, which have been completely integrated with the Taixuan Divine Image Nascent Soul.
Even with such a powerful divine sense, Gao Xian did not find that there were so many problems in Taixuan Shenxiang Yuanying. He also suddenly understood why it was difficult for a strong person to survive the thunder tribulation.
The spirit of a powerful god who has been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations seems indestructible, but under the cleansing of lightning its true face will be revealed with many holes in it.
This is also the limitation of the strong ones who have reached the level of transformation of spirits. If their cultivation has not reached this level, they cannot detect the problems of their own spirits. In fact, there are problems with the condensed Nascent Soul. When it is condensed into a spirit, these problems are deeply hidden.
This is the appearance of Taixuan God. The condensed Nascent Soul is already extremely powerful, and with the protection of Pure Yang Light, there will be no problem in achieving enlightenment of the Nascent Soul.
The problem is that there are all kinds of filth and impurities inside the Taixuan Divine Image, which have determined the upper limit of the Taixuan Divine Image.
Only after experiencing this thunder tribulation did Gao Xian have the opportunity to reshape his Nascent Soul.
After being cleansed by more than ten lightning bolts, the Taixuan Divine Image had turned into a ball of extremely clear and pure blood light, but its Nascent Soul structure had been completely destroyed by the power of thunder.
This kind of deep recasting of the Nascent Soul at the original level is extremely terrifying for any cultivator, and is enough to destroy the cultivator's body and soul without hope of recovery.
Gao Xian also knew that Taixuan Divine Appearance had reached its limit. If he continued to temper it with lightning, the condensed Nascent Soul would be completely destroyed.
As his mind turned, he activated the Blood River Heavenly Venerable Yuan Book, and this powerful artifact turned into blood light and was poured into the Taixuan Divine Infant.
In the blink of an eye, Taixuan Divine Image's Nascent Soul reappeared wearing a blood-red robe.
After experiencing the cleansing of thunder tribulation, Taixuan Shenxiang seemed unusually weak, but also unusually clear and pure. His entire body was shining with an extremely transparent precious light, and there was no trace of the evil spirit of the demon sect.
Gao Xian was very satisfied with this. After this tempering, Taixuan Divine Image had at least laid a solid foundation for Pure Yang.
Therefore, this thunder tribulation is a godsend for him.
When he thought of this, he transformed into the Great Five Elements Yuanying again, and took out a sword that was a combination of five swords in his hand.
Taiyuan Shenxiang has been practicing in Tianhong Garden of Xuanming Sect for ten years. The five five-element swords have merged into one on the surface, turning into a long sword.
The blade is four feet and four points long, with ten slightly raised ridges on the blade, dividing the blade into twelve sides. The blade itself is as clear as autumn water, and the raised ridges appear and disappear, giving the slender blade an unusually sharp and fierce aura.
The sword jaw is made of five elements lotus, which is elegant and magical. The hilt is also entwined with five elements lotus. Both the sword jaw and the hilt are colorful ancient green, which gives a sense of antiquity, solemnity and grandeur that has been precipitated by time.
The five elements swords have at least merged into one in form, but have not yet formed a true unity of the five elements.
Gao Xian holds this sword in his hand, and can transform the changes of the Five Elements sword at will, and can even superimpose the power of two swords.
With a sword in hand, Gao Xian's confidence increased greatly. His Wuji Tianxiang Sword already had a Leixiang Sword. He had a lot of experience in using swords to control the power of thunder.
Even though he was facing real thunder from heaven, he wouldn't have any difficulty dealing with it with the power of his sword.
Gao Xian transformed the Five Elements sword in his hand into the Dongji Qinghua Shenhong Sword, and the clear sword blade immediately turned into aquamarine.
The gleaming azure sword blade turned into a surging azure sword rainbow, and it slashed down towards the lightning. The lightning exploded and dissipated, but the remaining extraordinary power of the lightning traveled through Gao Xian's body and penetrated into his sea of consciousness.
Taiyuan Shenxiang's Nascent Soul was the first to be hit, and was wrapped in layers of lightning. Taiyuan Shenxiang was a sword infant, and was integrated with the Five Elements Sword in his hand. His Nascent Soul was the most solid and powerful.
This kind of lightning has little effect on Taiyuan Shenxiang, and it is even more impossible to defeat Taiyuan Shenxiang.
Gao Xian knew that the power of the lightning was still too weak, so when the lightning fell again, he left 50% of the lightning power. The golden Yuanying of Taiyuan Shenxiang immediately became transparent, and the outer layer of the Yuanying, which was as hard as gold and iron, melted into drops of water, like melted wax...
