Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 749 - 329: Phoenix Saint Pei Wanyu

In this unique space, the vast time flows silently, as if pouring into the distant horizon, mysterious and tranquil.

Underneath time and space, within the Parasol Tree, Lu Jin'an sits cross-legged, floating in mid-air. Under the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation, his body can be said to be shattered.

His entire body is shrouded in Death Qi, and even his blood seems to have dried up. Yet, the still active Spiritual Power of the Spirit Sea circulates, faintly revealing a complete diagram of his meridians.

As time passes, Lu Jin'an's body from the exterior to the interior has completely perished. The only part still alive is the Spirit Sea and the Divine Platform within.

This is the purpose of the first two stages of Crossing Tribulation.

The Divine Platform is the foundation of a Cultivator, and the Spirit Sea is the pillar. If these two are destroyed, no matter how high the talent, one will only end up as a cripple.

Thus, in the exploration of Cultivation by the sages of the Human Clan, confronting the Spiritual Power Tribulation and Divine Platform Tribulation is most crucial. In this way, when crossing the Physical Body Tribulation, the Cultivator won't exhaust their strength and thus turn the Spirit Sea and Divine Platform to dust under the Heavenly Tribulation.

Furthermore, if the Spirit Sea and Divine Platform collapse during the Heavenly Tribulation, it will cause the Cultivator's Dao Heart to shatter, leading to death and the disappearance of the Dao.

As long as the Spirit Sea and Divine Platform remain intact, even if some Cultivators feel they cannot endure the Physical Body Tribulation, they can rely on consuming large amounts of elixirs or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation.

Although this opportunistic method may lead to an imperfect Crossing Tribulation and might halt progress, staying alive is always better than dying.

After all, the Third Tribulation Crossing Realm is not considered a low realm, and even within many First-class Sects, one could secure the role of an elder.

For Lu Jin'an, opportunism is unnecessary, not only because of the perfection of his first two Tribulation Crossings but also because he is aware of his goals and how many people place their hopes in him.

So even though his body, with six Dao Palaces opened, endures extreme pain and hardship during the Physical Body Tribulation, he persevered.

With a lifeless exterior, the organs like his heart and lungs within his body contain not a trace of vitality. His entire being, infused with the aura of death, would have had his bloodline exhausted and died in the true sense if not for starting Body Refinement and Dao Palace power at the age of three amidst a Heavenly Tribulation far beyond other cultivators.

It is the will and solid foundation that allows his body to 'die' perfectly.

At this moment, Lu Jin'an can no longer feel the existence of his body; only the soul bestows him with unprecedented tranquility and emptiness.

The Nine Tribulations each lay the groundwork for the next, and the Physical Body Tribulation is naturally paving the way for the upcoming Primordial Spirit Tribulation.

The physical body is the shackle of the soul, it bears countless desires which influence a cultivator's comprehension of the Dao.

Yet, the Physical Body Tribulation does not sever the connection between the soul and the body.

On the contrary, it requires the soul to intimately experience the desires borne by the body upon its death.

Though Cultivation appears to be a process of following nature's law and diminishing human desire, it is not.

'Immortal' is derived from the character for 'human', Cultivation is the process of 'Human Moves Mountains', and it cultivates the intention to understand the Heart and Nature.

Understanding the heart is understanding reason, and reason in turn is human desire.

Thus, through the Physical Body Tribulation where the soul profoundly experiences the body's five desires and six delusions, one can transcend these and achieve the unification of essence, spirit, and soul during the subsequent Primordial Spirit Tribulation.

Lu Jin'an is currently engaging in the enlightenment of the soul to the desires of the body and its sublimation at the moment of the body's rebirth.

And at this moment, looking at the colorful light surrounding the Divine Soul, Lu Jin'an realizes what Huang Ningshang has given him.

It is protection, and also the Time Path.

Cultivators preparing for the Physical Body Tribulation must consume the Blue Lotus Calming God Pill in advance to protect the Divine Soul, and the brilliance transformed from Huang Ningshang is equivalent to the effect of the Blue Lotus Calming God Pill.

When Huang Ningshang said, "The rest is up to her," it refers to this.

At this moment, Lu Jin'an is not thinking of anything unnecessary, only a thought jumps in his mind: During the process of the body's rebirth, could he imprint the rules of time and space he mastered into it?

The Divine Soul comprehends rules, the Spirit Sea and Divine Platform support the rules, so it stands to reason that 'essence' should also be able to bear the rules at the same level as 'Qi' and 'God'!

Born of thought, Lu Jin'an has already decided to attempt it.

Heavenly Tribulation originates from the merciless Heavenly Dao, which encompasses everything. Under the Physical Body Tribulation, the perception of the Divine Soul reaches a clearer realm, plus the time flow here is faster than the outside, therefore, such a good opportunity cannot be missed.

Without a bold attempt, it would be impossible to overcome the great mountain in his heart.

With this thought in mind, Lu Jin'an, seemingly having lost the perception of his body, immerses his mind and begins the attempt.

Here, time seems to have lost its meaning.

At the next moment amidst the Heavenly Tribulation, his body, which has decayed to the extreme, ignites the energy within, as well as the vitality force derived from the Phoenix blood essence.

Under the surging vitality is destruction and rebirth, and the vigorous vitality contained in the Phoenix blood essence allowed him to experience the feeling of Nirvana Rebirth.

The death of the physical body and the Nirvana Rebirth of the Phoenix can be said to have let him perfectly experience the rules of life and death.

Space was originally the strongest rule he controlled, and the unique time-space set by Huang Ningshang stimulates his perpetual learning.

At this moment, the Parasol Tree seems to have totally ignited.

The biggest problem in breaking through the Southern Great Realm, which is the nature's spiritual energy, was wholly compensated by the burning Parasol Tree at this moment.

In this unique time-space, the nature's spiritual energy erupted from the Parasol Tree surged like ocean waves, wave after wave, inexhaustibly.
