Just as Mu Qing was about to tell Murong Yu about the unusual spiritual energy here, he felt the spiritual energy in the air uncontrollably rushing into his body. Mu Qing had no choice but to sit down and meditate to absorb the spiritual energy gathering from all directions.
An hour later, the strange phenomenon of spiritual energy disappeared.
Dark clouds gathered overhead, and lightning flashed overhead.
After a moment of hesitation, he did not strike Mu Qing.
After churning for a while, the rolling dark clouds transformed into clusters of golden clouds.
A beam of white light poured down from the clouds, enveloping Mu Qing completely.
After the white light dissipated, Mu Qing's cultivation broke through to the Golden Core stage, entering the early stage of the Golden Core stage.
The liquid above the dantian expanded dozens of times in an instant, forming a lake, from which a dazzling purple lotus flower phantom emerged.
After entering the Golden Core stage, the surge of spiritual energy around Mu Qing subsided, but he did not awaken. Instead, he entered a state of enlightenment, surrounded by a mysterious aura.
Another hour passed, and Mu Qing entered the Dao of All Living Beings, gaining the approval of the Heavenly Dao and becoming a protector of the Dao.
At the same time, a beam of golden light descended from the void, enveloping Mu Qing.
A quarter of an hour later, the golden light merged into Mu Qing's body, forming a golden sun, moon, and star mark in the palm of his left hand.
The mark is shaped like a crescent moon supporting a round sun, with stars surrounding it to form a circle.
The golden lotus mark between his brows flickered, then turned purple, its shape identical to the purple lotus phantom above his dantian.
After a while, the marks on his forehead and palms disappeared.
Murong Yu was worried that this would affect Mu Qing, so when Mu Qing sat down to absorb spiritual energy, he stepped back dozens of meters to protect her.
When Mu Qing finished his enlightenment, Murong Yu, who had been watching him the whole time, was also moved and fell into enlightenment.
Murong Yu stood firmly, his eyes resolute, the vow "You protect the common people, I will protect you" echoing in his heart.
Mu Qing noticed the surge of spiritual energy around Murong Yu, stopped walking towards him, and stood aside to protect him.
An hour later, Murong Yu's aura fluctuated, and rolling dark clouds gathered above his head.
After a while, the tribulation clouds gathered and the tribulation lightning fell straight down on Murong Yu.
Mu Qing recalled the information about tribulations, knowing that in the cultivation world, every cultivator needs to undergo tribulations when breaking through to a higher realm.
The tribulation of lightning is a test from Heaven for cultivators, and also a gift bestowed by Heaven.
After passing the tribulation of lightning, white light will descend from the clouds. This white light is spiritual energy of higher purity and quality than the spiritual energy in the air, and it can repair the injuries suffered by cultivators during the tribulation of lightning.
Moreover, absorbing this high-quality spiritual energy can also help cultivators who have just broken through to a higher level to stabilize their cultivation.
In addition, the lightning itself also has the effect of tempering the body. In a sense, being struck by lightning is also an opportunity.
Of course, there are also cultivators with weak cultivation and low aptitude who cannot withstand the tribulation of lightning and die.
Therefore, crossing each major realm is a test for cultivators.
Mu Qing did not approach the range of Murong Yu's tribulation, nor did she attempt to help.
When a cultivator is undergoing a tribulation of lightning, others are not allowed to interfere. Otherwise, the person who interferes will also be included in the tribulation, and the tribulation will instantly double, becoming a tribulation resulting from the combined cultivation levels of the two individuals, with unimaginable consequences.
Mu Qing discovered that Murong Yu's tribulation was not difficult.
Back in the desolate continent, Murong Yu awakened as a level three totem warrior, possessing surging blood and a very strong physique.
After Murong Yu realized that the lightning strikes him could temper his body, he not only did not dodge the falling lightning, but also removed his protection.
The lowest level of lightning tribulation for the Golden Core stage is the Tribulation of Three-One, which strikes three times, with one bolt of lightning each time. The highest level is the Tribulation of Three-Nine, which strikes three times, with nine bolts of lightning each time.
Murong Yu was struck by lightning for a full hour before it stopped; it was the Three-Nine Lightning Tribulation.
After the lightning stopped, white light shone down from the thunderclouds, and the wounds that Murong Yu had been struck by lightning healed rapidly.
The liquid above the dantian condensed into a golden core, with a faint golden dragon phantom hovering above it, indicating that he had successfully entered the early stage of the Golden Core stage.
Murong Yu's eyes were bright, reflecting Mu Qing's image with deep affection.
He resolutely chose to enter the path of love and compassion.
“Ah Qing, you entered the path because of all living beings, so I will enter the path for you.”
"If protecting all living beings is your mission, then let protecting you be my destiny..."
Murong Yu raised his eyes to look at Mu Qing, his gaze firm and shining brightly.
The voice of the Heavenly Dao consciousness echoed from the void, distant and majestic, resounding in Murong Yu's mind: "I have now entered the Dao of Emotion, are you certain?"
Murong Yu's gaze remained fixed on Mu Qing, and he solemnly replied in his heart, "Confirmed."
Heaven's will: "Can you repent?"
Murong Yu: "No regrets."
After speaking, the mark between her eyebrows shone brightly, and a lifelike golden dragon swam around, tightly encircling the purple lotus and protecting it.
The Seed of True Emotion and the Seed of the Heart: A red seed appeared out of thin air and was planted in the dantian.
Heaven bestowed its blessings, and Murong Yu's fortune soared.
After Mu Qing became a protector, information about the cultivation world automatically surfaced in his mind. He learned that one had to undergo numerous trials by the Heavenly Dao before entering the Dao, and realizing that the Heavenly Dao had favored the two of them, he looked up at the sky and said gently, "Thank you."
The Heavenly Dao consciousness sent forth a joyful emotion, which lingered for a while before reluctantly disappearing.
Central Continent
Tianji Pavilion
Two hours ago
Liao Butian, the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion, who was meditating on the top floor of Tianji Tower, seemed to sense something, opened his eyes, noticed the fleeting phenomenon, and murmured, "Has the protector of the Dao appeared in the world?"
Upon sensing it again, the strange phenomenon disappeared, as if the previous perception had been nothing more than an illusion.
Liao Butian took out the Heavenly Secret Disc and performed divination. The resulting hexagram was chaotic and unpredictable.
Liao Butian lowered his eyes and remained silent, then sent out a message.
Liao Butian, the head of the Tianji Pavilion, is at the Tribulation Transcending stage.
The goddess Shuang Feiyan, who was cultivating on the fifth floor of the Heavenly Mystery Tower, saw the message in front of her and recognized it as coming from her master, the Heavenly Mystery Ancestor. She quickly reached out to touch it, and a deep voice came out: "Feiyan, the protector of the Dao has appeared in the world today. You are ordered to do your best to find him and bring him back to the sect."
Shuang Feiyan: "Please give me some pointers, Master."
Ancestor Tianji: "In the Western Wilderness Continent, this is the one whose fortune is boundless."
Shuang Feiyan: "Yes, disciple obeys."
Having said that, he got up and left the Heavenly Mystery Tower.
The Heavenly Mystery Tower is the most precious cultivation treasure of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. It has nine floors, each corresponding to a different level of cultivation, and one must not attempt to climb a level higher than the required level.
The first to ninth floors correspond to the Mortal Realm, Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Deity Transformation Stage, Body Integration Stage, Mahayana Stage, and Tribulation Transcending Stage, respectively.
Shuang Feiyan is the youngest disciple of the Heavenly Mystery Ancestor. She has the cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage and has excellent fortune, making her the most suitable person to go out and search for people.
