Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone-Chapter 657 - 590: Void Order_2

Lu Xuanji perceived that in the void hidden were peerless powerhouses, observing the situation here and waiting for an opportunity to act.

The storm is coming!

Boom boom boom!

At this moment, aura rose to the extreme, the Six Desires Demon Venerable's figure flickered, appearing in the void.

The aura erupted, heavenly tribulation clouds gathered in an instant, evolving into a celestial tribulation and crashing down.

Crack!

Crack!

The heavenly tribulation instantly tilted down, Yin Yang Tribulation, Five Elements Realm, Nightmare Wind Tribulation, Karma Fire Tribulation, Soul Tribulation, Divine Weapon Tribulation, etc., one after another, continuously descended.

Every strike was comparable to a half-step Void Refining strike.

Numerous tribulations accumulated together, as if dozens, hundreds of half-step Void Refining cultivators joint forces to strike.

"Quickly retreat!"

"Quickly retreat!"

Cultivators hidden in the void sensed something was amiss and immediately withdrew.

Those who moved quickly escaped disaster, but many unfortunate ones were a beat too slow and were struck down by tribulations.

Lu Xuanji also quickly flickered, moving a thousand miles away, narrowly avoiding the impact of the tribulations.

"Such intense tribulations!"

Lu Xuanji operated his phone, recording the situation of the tribulations while the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasure also calculated, deducing and guessing the changes within.

...

Tribulations descended, the sky was a blinding white, silver lightning swept over everything.

The Six Desires Demon Venerable operated secret techniques, evolving into a killing move, Void Refining, and struck downward.

The void shattered, tribulations dispersed.

After a moment, the heavenly tribulation began to dissipate.

Seven-colored light descended upon the Six Desires Demon Venerable's body, his aura rising, breaking through the barrier and fully entering the Void Refining realm from half-step.

"Congratulations!"

Lu Xuanji felt complex emotions, just about to step forward and say something.

But at this moment, a sense of eeriness overwhelmed him; he saw in the void a hand appeared, like the hand of the heavens, transforming into a terrifying force and seizing.

One palm dominated, capturing all things.

The Six Desires Demon Venerable held a long saber, the saber shimmering with silver light, slashing into the air.

Boom boom!

The hand merely shook slightly, yet the Six Desires Demon Venerable's body was flung out, the long saber in his hand broke.

His aura also withered.

"Having proven the Dao Void Refining, you are fit to become my food!" From the void, an indifferent voice came, the hand continued to seize, changing shape into a vast realm, space and time transformed, the Five Elements were born and died, evolving into a massive suppression force.

Reversing hand to suppress downward.

The Six Desires Demon Venerable sensed danger, operated secret techniques and escaped.

But the large hand seemed to perceive all, locked onto everything, immediately suppressing him in the palm.

The five fingers contracted, pinching his body, producing creaking sounds.

Soon after, the hand disappeared.

...

"This..."

Lu Xuanji watched this scene, feeling eerie, trembling slightly in spirit.

It seemed like fear, like unease, like terror.

The Six Desires Demon Venerable had just proven the Dao at Void Refining, full of spirit and unrivaled ambition; yet, at his peak, he was struck by tribulations, suppressed on the spot.

"Whose hand was that?"

Lu Xuanji felt unease in his heart.

Using his phone, he recorded the scene just now, noting down relevant information.

"Destiny Calculation!"

Lu Xuanji operated the phone, beginning to calculate.

[That hand was from a Void Refining cultivator]

[That hand erupted with combat power of the third layer of Void Refining]

[The owner of that hand was a cultivator of the eighth layer of Void Refining]

"Eighth layer of Void Refining, who exactly is it?"

With a flickering figure, Lu Xuanji vanished.

...

Returning to the Lu Family, the moment Lu Xuanji arrived, he saw Qinglian. At this moment she was dressed in a green palace outfit, with black long hair, crystal-clear skin, slender legs, standing barefoot, aura ancient and profound, seemingly just a step away from that realm.

"Qinglian, you've exited seclusion!"

Lu Xuanji said.

"Yes, I have left seclusion!" Qinglian said: "With such a major event, how could I not exit seclusion!"

Lu Xuanji said: "The Six Desires Demon Venerable is truly dead!"

Qinglian said: "I know!"

Lu Xuanji said: "I never expected achieving Void Refining to be so difficult, the Six Desires Demon Venerable already proved the Dao Void Refining, yet still died at the last step."

Thinking about the Six Desires Demon Venerable's fate, recalling the tribulations he himself encountered during Ascension, he felt sadness in his heart, akin to a rabbit mourning a fox.

Qinglian sighed: "Husband, do you know the Void Order?"

"Void Order, what is it?"

Lu Xuanji asked curiously.

"Void Order was forged by a group of top powerhouses; it is a special credential. Divinity Transformation cultivators who wish to refine laws, cross tribulations, and prove the Dao at the Void Refining realm must possess a Void Order. Otherwise, even if they cross tribulations and achieve Void Refining, they will be captured and eaten by certain powerhouses."

Qinglian spoke coldly about the hidden secrets in the cultivation immortality realm: "The world's resources are limited, especially top-tier resources. Many top big shots do not want this world to birth too many powerhouses, thinning out their power; nor do they want too many powerhouses competing for resources!

Unless they are successors of those top big shots, or personal disciples, or given an enormous profit, only then will they be granted a Void Order. With the Void Order, one gains eligibility to become a Void Refining cultivator. Otherwise, even if they survive tribulations, they will be hunted by powerhouses, directly captured and eaten.

In the cultivation immortality realm, top spirit medicines can be refined into elixirs; as for top cultivators, they can also be refined into elixirs.

The Six Desires Demon Venerable was born as a loose cultivator, ignorant of certain things, believing his extraordinary talent and aptitude would allow him to become a Void Refining powerhouse by overcoming tribulations. But he didn't know without the Void Order, his profound proof of the Dao at Void Refining was the very moment of his death..."

"Void Order..."

Lu Xuanji gritted his teeth: "Without the Void Order, even with extraordinary talent and heaven-defying aptitude, one cannot become Void Refining!"

"Correct!"

Qinglian said, her eyes flashing with a hint of killing intent and reluctance: "This world, essentially dominated by those top big shots, they occupy seventy percent of the resources, and use various means to oppress the younger generation; those young geniuses must either join them or be killed!"

Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, these realms are too low, those top big shots disdain managing. Of course, lower-level cultivators are numerous, and protective arrays make targeting them difficult; but once someone reaches the Void Refining realm, the anomalies born are vast, the spiraling Spiritual Qi vortexes easily perceived, and the time spent is enough to give those big shots time to intervene.

In becoming a Void Refining cultivator, one can threaten the interests of those big shots; they issue the Void Order, declaring that those who follow thrive, those who resist perish!"

"Not choosing to join means being killed!"

Lu Xuanji felt some dissatisfaction but still gritted his teeth and said, "Where are Void Orders available?"

Qinglian said: "Joining certain large sects, based on merit, grants a Void Order; also, a few auction houses sometimes offer Void Orders, albeit at exorbitant prices."

Lu Xuanji asked: "If I join some large sect now, is it still possible?"

Qinglian said: "It is too late; those large sects' personal disciples are cultivated from a young age, foster loyalty before granting a Void Order. As for my husband, you are too old, unqualified to receive a Void Order. But at the Dao Middle State auction, one might acquire a Void Order."

Lu Xuanji sighed: "Cultivating immortality is too difficult. Originally, the number of cultivators who could achieve Void Refining was already scarce; the Void Order restriction makes it even less!"

Qinglian said: "The cultivation immortality realm has always been this way. We loose cultivators, born into small clans, wish to overthrow those large families, large sects, top big shots, which is extremely hard!"
