There was no one, it was quiet.
Yu Xiaolong looked around in confusion, not knowing where he was.
He felt very hot inside his body, as if there was a fire. His face felt hot, and he felt a stream of heat every time he breathed.
Yu Xiaolong only remembered that he was recuperating at Xie's house and was in bed after coming out of Qiankun Pond.
But now he was baffled by the dilapidated state of things around him.
With a "clang" sound, a chair broke into two parts and fell to the side.
He seemed to find that chair very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Yu Xiaolong looked down and saw that a circular area about two meters in diameter where he meditated was intact, while the rest of the area seemed unsightly after a disaster.
"Crack", a middle-aged man slowly approached and broke a piece of wood.
He stopped a dozen meters away from Yu Xiaolong, tilted his head to observe, and looked at the sky from time to time.
"Ayun! He's awake!" The middle-aged man turned around and shouted.
Soon, Zhou Kai, Xie Tianyun, Wan Yanfeng, Ying Kongxiu, and Zhang Xiaosheng ran over, looking at the scene around them like after an earthquake disaster, and then at Yu Xiaolong.
"Where am I?" Yu Xiaolong asked inexplicably.
Several people looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
"This is my home!" Xie Tianyun said with a cry.
"Your home? Why is it like this? What's wrong? Is it an earthquake or a fire?" Yu Xiaolong looked around in confusion.
"Brother, this is all your fault, okay?" Zhou Kai crossed his arms and shook his head.
"Ah? I did it? What do you mean? Didn't I just lie down after recuperation?" Yu Xiaolong was very puzzled.
"Brother Yu, you really don't know?" Wan Yanfeng looked at him seriously.
"I don't know!" Yu Xiaolong spread his hands: "I took a nap...it seemed like I had a dream. Why is this happening?"
"Brother... dear brother... you have survived the tribulation!" Xie Tianyun said aggrievedly.
"Overcoming the tribulation? Me?" Yu Xiaolong blinked.
There are seven levels of Taoism, and each level is divided into seven levels. It's easy to say when upgrading, just upgrade normally. When you reach the third level of enlightenment, you need to overcome tribulations every time you advance.
Overcoming the calamity requires the right time, right place, right people, and smooth wind and water.
Overcoming the tribulation is a heaven-defying existence that violates the laws of nature. When it reaches the critical point, God will bring disaster. Including wind, rain, thunder, electricity, gas and other important factors to punish those who have overcome the tribulation, the process is extremely dangerous. Most of the practitioners are unable to overcome the difficulties, ranging from injuries to their veins and loss of spiritual practice, to serious cases of their souls being scattered and being wiped out in ashes.
Of course, practitioners can also choose not to survive the calamity and accumulate energy to be prepared. But in the same way, the level of disaster will increase equally, or even double.
Overcoming tribulations is the only way for every practitioner to improve his level. It is clearly stated in "The Preface to the Way" that calamities are inevitable and unavoidable. Heaven will punish you and the earth will change.
Unless a practitioner does not want to become stronger, he can suppress the true energy so that it does not reach the critical point and maintains the current strength. But in reality, this rarely happens. Almost no one will give up the opportunity in front of them, and they all dream of becoming a master.
The final stage of overcoming the tribulation is the heavenly tribulation, which is an unimaginable and terrifying existence. After surviving the catastrophe, you can reach the shackles of the human world and ascend to become an immortal or a god.
The highest level in the human world is Earth Immortal. They cannot ascend to the ninth heaven and are not recognized by Heaven, but their Taoism and state of mind have reached the level of immortals or gods, so they can only exist in the mortal world.
Those who successfully ascended to the ninth heaven were divided into immortals and gods.
In the ninth heaven, those who hold official positions are gods. Those who do not want to be restrained and managed, or who belong to a certain sect or force, are immortals.
The highest level of immortals and gods is the immortals and gods, unless they are completely defeated in a fight. Otherwise, they will never grow old or die, never reincarnate, live forever, and enjoy the paradise without sorrow.
Mortal mortals live in the mortal world, adapting to life and death and multiplying endlessly, with gains and losses, joys and sorrows, and desires. For practitioners, worldly fame, fortune, splendor and wealth are just a fleeting thing. Only ascending to the ninth heaven and becoming an immortal or a god is the eternal pursuit.
Mortal practitioners, regardless of whether they are good or evil, regard becoming an immortal or a god as their ultimate goal.
Although gods have official positions, they are not higher than immortals in terms of level. In the world, immortals are even ranked slightly higher than gods.
Ghost cultivators are the same as mundane cultivators, with slightly different Taoist methods and slightly different upgrades and upgrades, but the ultimate goal is ghosts and immortals, which is not essentially different from immortals and gods.
If you become a ghost immortal, you can also ascend to the ninth heaven.
However, they generally cannot hold any orthodox official positions and work in hell or wander between heaven and earth, similar to some immortals. But because he is a ghost, his status is slightly lower than that of immortals and gods.
Yu Xiaolong's promotion from the Beginner's Path to the Enlightenment is the first stage of overcoming the tribulation, and it is the first time for a practitioner to experience the horror of overcoming the tribulation.
His final blow in the cave greatly expanded the permeability of the veins and activated key nodes for overcoming the tribulation. But because he was seriously injured, his hopes of overcoming the disaster were dashed.
After half a month of training on the mountain, his veins were initially repaired and he was out of danger, but it was far from the foundation needed to overcome the tribulation.
Using the most top-notch and rare medicines in the Xie family, coupled with the unique nourishing place of Qiankun Pond, and Xie Zhongqian's full treatment, Yu Xiaolong's veins were quickly replenished, and an excellent protective layer was continuously blessed.
Under the stimulation of various factors for half a year, Yu Xiaolong's veins were restored and his foundation was greatly stimulated. So when he entered the stage of rest and recuperation, the veins that were about to move tried to touch the apex, so he was not prepared Entering the stage of overcoming the tribulation.
However, Yu Xiaolong has never been exposed to and does not understand the Tribulation, so it is extremely dangerous to enter the Tribulation.
"Brother Yu, you... don't even know about Du Jie?" Xie Tianyun looked at him in surprise.
"I don't know! I dreamed about messy things. I didn't know what happened here." Yu Xiaolong scratched his head.
"Have you... fallen asleep these past few hours?" Zhou Kai asked.
"Is this... caused by the Tribulation?" Yu Xiaolong looked at the broken scene around him.
"Damn it! Don't mention it!" Zhou Kai sneered: "We were outside, and suddenly dark clouds came over, and then there were signs of thunder. Ayun said you were going to survive the tribulation, so he took us and ran away!"
"Why are you running?" Yu Xiaolong asked doubtfully.
"Oh Brother Yu, the sky was full of lightning and thunder, and it kept falling. We ran thousands of meters away before everything was fine!" Wanyanfeng sighed.
"That's right, the sky was full of thunder and lightning. We were all afraid that you would be chopped into ashes. You don't know how scary it was at that time. I have never seen such dense and huge thunder." Ying Kongxiu was shocked.
"Haha, Brother Yu, you are fine, but these houses in Ayun's house...ah!" Zhang Xiaosheng shook his head and sighed.
"This is also my first time to go through a tribulation. I don't know anything...Ayun, I'm sorry." Yu Xiaolong smiled sheepishly.
"Xiao Long... Hey... It's a great joy that you succeeded in overcoming the tribulation. I haven't seen the tribulation, but I heard it from my grandfather. Most of them failed to succeed and were chopped into fly ash. It was so scary to see it with my own eyes today. ...Although my house...if you can succeed, it doesn't matter how many houses there are! Grandpa won't be angry, so don't worry." Xie Tianyun pouted and looked around.
