Chapter 511: Chapter 433: High-Rank 6, The Resonant Bell Toll

...

In the Mortal Realm, advancement is about refining one’s apertures.

In the Saint Realm, advancement is about elevating the Immortal Acupoint.

There are two main ways to elevate an Immortal Acupoint: Swallowing Acupoints and undergoing tribulations.

The method of Swallowing Acupoints is a unique Divine Technique of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor. It is rumored to be linked to one’s school’s attainments and is filled with profound mysteries.

However, this method has long been lost, making it impossible for outsiders to glimpse its secrets.

Most ordinary Saints rely on undergoing tribulations.

Once the origin of the Immortal Acupoint has been nourished to a certain degree, a heaven and earth tribulation will arise to temper it. Successfully passing this trial allows for advancement.

To advance from the initial stage of Tier Six to Tier Six Peak, one must undergo three earthly calamities and three heavenly tribulations.

During this process, an "earthly calamity" and a "heavenly tribulation" will occur every three hundred years.

Note that this three-hundred-year interval is mandatory!

If you don’t trigger it early, it will arrive on schedule.

Furthermore, these heaven and earth tribulations only grow more terrifying as time passes.

As far as Fang Yang knew, Sen Hui’s mother had fallen to just such a heaven and earth tribulation.

Fortunately, the blessings gained after surviving a tribulation are also quite substantial.

A tribulation of earthly calamity, on average, grants a Saint six hundred years of lifespan.

A great heavenly tribulation, on average, grants a Saint one thousand years of lifespan.

...

’I didn’t expect the opportunity to break through to come so soon.’ Fang Yang mused. With a wave of his sleeve, he laid down a Saint Array.

Before him was a vast expanse of white, a world of ice and snow.

His previous advancement had bypassed the descent of calamities and tribulations, largely because he had been within a Saint Venerable’s training grounds.

No, it wasn’t that he bypassed it, but rather that it was delayed.

For Fang Yang discovered that the moment he initiated the tribulation for his Immortal Acupoint, it triggered a drastic change.

For an ordinary Saint’s advancement, they must lower their Immortal Acupoint into the physical world, connecting it with the dual energies of heaven and earth to gather them into a tribulation.

Once initiated, the gate of the Immortal Acupoint opens wide.

The Immortal Acupoint’s gate is the channel that connects the inside and outside.

As it opens, the Immortal Acupoint’s Blessed Land begins to communicate with the outside world, continuously drawing in the dual energies of heaven and earth.

It was like a giant whale, long submerged in the depths of the sea, breaching the surface to open its massive maw and frantically devour all the world’s energies, just as it would inhale oxygen.

But Fang Yang was different!

Fang Yang’s aptitude and foundation were simply too profound!

At this very moment, his body trembled slightly, and a mysterious change occurred within his Immortal Acupoint.

The most obvious change was the gradual emergence of a tributary of the River of Time, where the flow of time was nearly identical to that of the real world.

"How can his heaven and earth tribulation be so unique?!"

Yu Zither Immortal’s posture was exquisite, her peach-blossom eyes filled with bewilderment.

She knew Fang Yang was special, worthy of the name Young Venerable, but wasn’t what was happening now a bit too exaggerated?

"A Young Venerable Supreme." The Changkong Sky Bow buzzed, its body shimmering with an aqua-blue luster.

At this moment, Fang Yang closed his eyes.

A portion of his consciousness flowed into his Blessed Land, specifically toward the Sacred Artifacts led by the Donghuang Chaos Bell.

His expression was calm, showing no trace of panic.

This was his first time facing a heaven and earth tribulation after entering the Saint Realm.

But in truth, he had a vast amount of experience dealing with such scenes.

RUMBLE...

Within his Heaven’s Mandate Blessed Land, the cores of one wondrous realm after another rose into the air, scattering brilliant, multicolored light.

The shapes of these realm cores varied: a Crimson Flood Dragon, a giant golden cauldron, a Frost White Ancient Lion...

Now, under Fang Yang’s will, they all transformed into radiance, weaving together to form a colossal golden phantom of light that filled the entire Immortal Acupoint.

At the same time, a large amount of Cyan Raisin Immortal Essence was consumed, but for Fang Yang, the amount consumed was far less than the amount replenished.

This was because of his Kunpeng Indestructible Body; as long as his Immortal Essence’s "replenish-consume-replenish" cycle wasn’t broken, he truly would be like an immortal, indestructible being!

But unless a great enemy who was also a Young Venerable attacked, who could possibly break his Immortal Essence cycle?

Before long, the Immortal Acupoint began to shake violently, forming a sky full of wind and snow.

The blizzard raged, filling the world, and barely managed to freeze the region of the Little Profound Realm into a land of ice and snow.

Aside from the protected wondrous realms, the Little Profound Realm was a sheet of ice.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The blizzard rampaged through the Little Profound Realm, and one by one, snow monsters began to form within the storm.

’It’s only affecting the Little Profound Realm?’ Fang Yang frowned slightly.

His Heaven’s Mandate Blessed Land had a structure similar to the Eight Domains of Heaven and Earth; besides the Little Profound Realm, there were seven other domains.

While ordinary Saints feared the power of their heaven and earth tribulations, he found this one to be too weak, insufficient to effectively temper his Heaven’s Mandate Blessed Land.

At this thought, Fang Yang’s consciousness flowed primarily towards the Donghuang Chaos Bell.

VMM. VMMMM. VMMMMMM.

The Donghuang Chaos Bell vibrated, its humming ceaseless, inciting the heaven and earth tribulation to undergo an even greater change.

In an instant, the tribulation clouds spread out from above the Little Profound Realm, extending toward the Little Yellow Realm and the Little Cosmic Realm.

...

「A quarter of an hour later.」

Fang Yang opened his eyes, his gaze like lightning, illuminating his surroundings.

A majestic aura flowed from his body for a fleeting moment, causing Yu Zither Immortal’s beautiful eyes to sparkle.

High-stage Tier Six!

Fang Yang hadn’t just touched the realm barrier; he had shattered it completely!

At his age, Yu Zither Immortal couldn’t think of anyone who could possibly compare to him.

Not even the Vast Sea Venerable Emperor could have matched him.

At this thought, a warm current flowed through Yu Zither Immortal’s heart. The corners of her lips curled up in a slight, joyous smile.

’I knew it. I was right about him!’

"Even the Saint Ancestor in his youth was probably no better than this," the Changkong Sky Bow stated, sounding somewhat numb.
