Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 784 - 396. Achieving Free Immortal Status, Lu Zhuo’s Shock (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

Even though Lu Zhuo was open-minded, he still found this matter difficult to understand.

"This is Yao Guang Court's Sky Nets Umbrella, specifically used to weaken the Purple Clouds Thunder Tribulation..."

"Cangming, you... use this item to help your Junior Brother..."

With a flick of Lu Zhuo's sleeve robe, a resplendent, dark purple oil-paper umbrella appeared in his hand. The oil-paper umbrella shimmered with surrounding Immortal Light, undoubtedly a rare Acquired Immortal Tool.

"Forget it, I shall go in person..." Just as Zhao Cangming was about to take the Sky Nets Umbrella, Lu Zhuo suddenly thought of something. He shook his head, retracted the umbrella, and then took half a step forward.

Beneath his feet, space folded layer upon layer. Before he lifted his foot, he was still outside the Cave Mansion; after setting it down, he had already arrived near the Tribulation Cloud.

「At this moment.」

Under the Tribulation Cloud.

Xu Xing was seated in his Cave Mansion, operating the Array Disk to activate layers of Magic Formations against the Purple Clouds Thunder Tribulation.

Xu Xing had consulted much information regarding the Purple Clouds Thunder Tribulation over the past few centuries. He knew the danger of this thunder. Therefore, he dared not be careless.

Master? A voice suddenly sounded in Xu Xing's mind. He was stunned for a moment, looking in Lu Zhuo's direction.

Then, Lu Zhuo sent the Sky Nets Umbrella into the Magic Formation, and it landed in Xu Xing's hands.

With this Sky Nets Umbrella, the chances of crossing the Purple Clouds Thunder Tribulation have increased by at least thirty percent.

Xu Xing's face showed joy. He had cultivated the Top Hundred Immortal Technique Divine Monkey Transformation to the perfection stage. His physical strength was not inferior to that of a God Transformation Realm body cultivator, giving him about a forty percent chance of successfully crossing the Purple Clouds Thunder Tribulation.

In addition, activating the [Blessed Earth Immortal]'s "Blessing Spirit Immortal Mansion" would not only enhance his power but also increase his blessings. This would also reduce the power of the Thunder Tribulation. This gave him an additional twenty percent chance of successfully crossing the Tribulation.

Now, with the Sky Nets Umbrella, an Acquired Immortal Tool, Xu Xing was ninety percent confident in successfully overcoming the Tribulation.

Xu Xing did not hesitate. After roughly refining the Sky Nets Umbrella, he held it up and drew down the Purple Clouds Thunder Tribulation from the Tribulation Cloud.

Instantly, a gigantic lightning bolt as thick as a column fell from the sky. Its mere residual power shook the entirety of Yao Guang Court to its foundations. The Magic Formations protecting many buildings were shattered by this residual power of the Tribulation Thunder.

This Heavenly Thunder… Xu Xing frowned, swallowed, and urged the Sky Nets Umbrella to defend.

Soon, under the impetus of Magic Power, the Sky Nets Umbrella was filled with iridescent light, and five-colored Magical Prohibitions circled around it. Once the umbrella bottom unfurled, it generated black and white qi that circulated continuously, emitting a hazy, clear light from the ferrule, which formed a black-and-white protective ward above the canopy.

BOOM! BOOM!

The thick, pillar-like purple Tribulation Lightning finally struck the Sky Nets Umbrella.

However, after the lightning dissipated, the Sky Nets Umbrella stood firm, and Xu Xing, beneath it, only endured about thirty percent of the Tribulation Lightning's force.

This is the heritage of a Large Sect! Xu Xing thought after seeing this.

He surmised that Mount Wanshou produced an unending stream of Immortal Realm cultivators not only because it attracted all the Prides of Heaven from the Great Cang Cultivation World, but also due to its profound heritage. Cultivators outside Mount Wanshou typically had only a thirty to forty percent chance of surviving their Lightning Tribulations. However, Mount Wanshou, with its numerous Immortal Treasures, could significantly mitigate the dangers of the Thunder Tribulation, aiding its disciples in their Tribulation Crossing.

However… I can't rely too much on the Sky Nets Umbrella. Right now, in the Evergreen Immortal World, my other body has Lu Zhuo's protection and the Sky Nets Umbrella. But in the Chiming World… my original body doesn't have so many blessings. I can only rely on my own abilities to withstand the Purple Clouds Thunder Tribulation. Xu Xing thought.

With this in mind, Xu Xing retracted the Sky Nets Umbrella, planning to first use his own means to resist the Thunder Tribulation, and only if his own efforts proved insufficient would he deploy the Sky Nets Umbrella, this Immortal Tool for resisting tribulations.

The Purple Clouds Thunder Tribulation consisted of nine waves in total.

After more than half a day had passed, another Tribulation Lightning bolt struck down from the sky; its power was stronger by about five percent or more than the previous one.

The Tribulation Lightning tore through Xu Xing's Cave Mansion, continuously wearing down the various Magic Formations he had laid out.

One set of Magic Formations.

Two sets of Magic Formations.

By the time the fifteenth set of Magic Formations was engaged, the Tribulation Lightning gradually dissipated.

...

...

「Half a month later.」

Lu Zhuo watched the residual Tribulation Lightning on the Sky Nets Umbrella slowly dissipate, a smile appearing on his face.

Under my tutelage, besides Cangming, there will now be another Free Immortal disciple… he thought, standing with his hands behind his back, his expression somewhat dazed.

"Congratulations, Master..."

"Congratulations, Master..."

Zhao Cangming, Jiang Yueying, and two other young cultivators bowed and congratulated Lu Zhuo.

"Master, your recent emergence from seclusion brings double joy. Not only have you broken through to the Void Immortal realm, but Junior Brother Ding has also attained the Free Immortal Realm..." Jiang Yueying stepped forward and said.

Among Lu Zhuo's disciples, she, having taught Xu Xing on their Master's behalf, shared the closest relationship with him. At this moment, it was only natural for her to say a few flattering words for Xu Xing. After all, it was a small gesture that cost her nothing but brought benefits.

"Well said." Hearing this, Lu Zhuo returned to his senses, his face beaming with even greater joy.

Although Xu Xing had never been personally taught by him, it didn't change the fact that this Free Immortal had emerged from under his tutelage. Jiang Yueying, teaching on his behalf, had cultivated a Free Immortal disciple… Didn't this signify that his, Lu Zhuo's, teaching was so effective that even a disciple acting in his stead could guide someone to become a Free Immortal?

"Yueying, you have taught well. When I ascend to the Void Immortal realm and later meet with the Sect Master... I will request a Heavenly Dao Stone for you to aid your breakthrough," Lu Zhuo said after contemplating for a moment.

"Heavenly Dao Stone?" Hearing these words, Jiang Yueying's heart filled with joy, and she quickly bowed to Lu Zhuo in thanks.

The Heavenly Dao Stone was a precious resource used by cultivators in the God Transformation Realm for Sensing the Heaven's Heart. With a Heavenly Dao Stone, successfully Sensing the Heaven's Heart within a hundred years should not be difficult for her.

At that time, with three Free Immortals under my tutelage, I, Lu Zhuo, will be renowned throughout Mount Wanshou. Lu Zhuo stroked his beard and smiled.

"Yueying. Go and invite your Junior Brother who has just completed his Tribulation Crossing."

Then, Lu Zhuo's gaze shifted towards the location of the former Tribulation Cloud, and he spoke coolly. He had assumed Xu Xing would immediately come to pay respects after surviving the Lightning Tribulation, but unexpectedly, Xu Xing had remained in his own Cave Mansion.

Lu Zhuo surmised that Xu Xing had either not yet fully composed himself after breaking through to the Free Immortal Realm, or perhaps felt a lack of affinity with him, a Master he had never formally met, thus his delay in his own Cave Mansion.

...

...

「Yao Guang Court.」

Inside the damaged Cave Mansion.

The Immortal Realm… I've finally made it.

Xu Xing closed his eyes, feeling the Magic Power gradually transforming within his body, his face showing joy. Years of Cultivation, and immortalhood achieved in a single day. This kind of joy, even for someone like Xu Xing who had always maintained excellent composure and rarely smiled, couldn't help but manifest on his face at this moment.

The goal of a cultivator's Cultivation is to Ascend in broad daylight and attain eternal life. Upon reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, his lifespan became nearly limitless. If he resided in a Cave, he could extend it for tens of thousands of years. But such longevity was merely pseudo-immortality.

However, the Free Immortal Realm was different. It signified true, hard-earned longevity. Henceforth, as long as he avoided fatal calamities, he could live a long and enduring life in the Cultivation World.

However… this is merely my other body breaking through to the Free Immortal Realm; my original body has yet to make the breakthrough…

Xu Xing collected his thoughts. Recalling the process of undergoing the Purple Clouds Thunder Tribulation, his brow furrowed. This time, without the Sky Nets Umbrella, his chances of successfully overcoming the tribulation would likely have been only around forty percent. This was twenty percent less than the sixty percent he had anticipated.

Though it seemed like only a twenty percent difference, the inherent danger was self-evident.

My original body has only one life. I cannot be careless. I must increase my chances further before attempting the breakthrough. Xu Xing thought.

In the Evergreen Immortal World, even if his other body perished and its Dao dissipated, it wouldn't be a catastrophic loss for him. But if his 'original body' were to die, it would be an entirely different matter. That would be his true demise.

I should go and pay my respects to Master. Xu Xing suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, restrained his aura, adjusted his robes, and prepared to ride an Escaping Light to Lu Zhuo's Cave Mansion.

However, just as he stepped out of the Cave Mansion, Jiang Yueying arrived on an Escaping Light.

"Junior Brother Ding..." Jiang Yueying glanced at Xu Xing, her face a mixture of complex emotions.

A thousand years ago, Xu Xing was the 'disciple' she had guided; today, Xu Xing had become her Senior. This disparity, even with her strong mental fortitude, was difficult for her to fully accept.

"Senior Sister Jiang."

Seeing Senior Sister Jiang arrive, Xu Xing quickly bowed, showing no arrogance despite now being a Free Immortal Senior.
