Starting Cultivation During a Trip-Chapter 126 - 98: Elixir of Immortality! Long Time No See, Missed You So Much_2
Even in the mythical tale of the universe’s origin, where Pangu created the world, it was only after the emptiness and destruction that there came formation and habitation.
Within the great annihilation, the heavens and earth were born; it’s merely a link in the endless cycle of creation and destruction.
In the local concepts, what is a Tribulation?
When people desire something, using force to compel is considered a Tribulation.
In other words, a Tribulation is a form of coercive power; according to dialectical materialism, a Tribulation is a contradiction, and contradiction is the fundamental driving force behind the development of all things.
Even in the Daoist Sect’s Scripture of Salvation, it is said, "Born, one receives salvation, eternally existing through Tribulations, rotating with them, living as long as the heavens."
In the cycle of creation and destruction within the Tribulations, the original rigid system can be shattered, generating a qualitative leap, from human to Immortal.
Therefore, mortals practicing cultivation need to undergo multiple Tribulations.
Thus, the journey westward to obtain scriptures involves ninety-nine difficult trials.
Thus, in the Divine Enthronement of the Three Teachings, there is the Immortal Tribulation.
These are all meant to undergo creation and destruction within the original system, thereby giving rise to a new system, a new form.
Therefore, Tribulation is the medicine for eternal existence of all things.
That would be the Elixir of Immortality.
"They’re all lunatics... there’s medicine but none take it... look, I took the medicine and that’s why I’m where I am now..." murmured Wang Xuangang, recalling the great fire from eleven years ago.
The flames rose high, the river surged, and that youth slowly walked out from the inferno, black and white Qi swirling, seemingly embodying Divine Demon, astoundingly extraordinary.
"My heart not dying, Dao not born; if this Tribulation does not come, life is hard to sustain!"
The youth’s words echoed as sudden Thunder in Wang Xuangang’s mind.
"Eleven years, the medicine he fed was truly delicious."
Wang Xuangang licked his lips, an excited expression on his face.
Rumble...
Just then, a sharp, jarring noise came from outside.
Outside the Beidou Hall, at the front gate.
A crowd gathered at the entrance, surrounding two figures in the center, none other than Zhang Fan and Jiang Hu.
"Who are you? Dare to barge into the Beidou Hall? This is a private club."
A young man stepped out from the crowd, glaring at Zhang Fan and Jiang Hu with a hostile look.
"Misunderstanding, we have acquaintances, came to visit, didn’t you see we brought fruit baskets?" Zhang Fan gathered Qi in his hand with fruit
These were bought by him downstairs at a fruit store in Taoyuan Square, on discount, ten dollars for three pounds of apples.
Jiang Hu looked at the rotten apples in the plastic bag in Zhang Fan’s hand, some even had worm eyes.
When buying them, Jiang Hu thought Zhang Fan was buying them for himself and advised him not to be cheap.
But Zhang Fan said, if worms can eat them, it means these are green, natural, organic, pollution-free apples, without pesticides or fertilizers, the worms’ role is equivalent to the eunuchs testing dishes for the Yellow Emperor.
These apples are considered royal tributes.
Jiang Hu saw it, didn’t say much, since it was for himself, at worst he’d become a projectile warrior.
However, Jiang Hu never imagined that Zhang Fan would gift this bag of rotten apples to someone, especially to the Wang Family.
"So bloody embarrassing." Jiang Hu looked at the red plastic bag, silently lowered his head.
"Make way."
Just then, a crisp sound came from within the gate, and people made way, revealing Wang Xuanfei and Wang Xuanmiao emerging.
"Zhang Fan!?" Wang Xuanfei saw Zhang Fan, was stunned initially, then a look of doubt emerged on her face.
She didn’t expect Zhang Fan to appear here.
"Really have acquaintances!?"
Jiang Hu instantly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems Zhang Fan was indeed being reliable this time.
"Didn’t I say? Came to visit, have acquaintances, why don’t you make way?"
Jiang Hu suddenly had confidence, stepped forward, scanned the crowd, and roared to back off.
"Why are you here?" Wang Xuanfei asked sternly.
"Oh, didn’t I cripple Wang Xuanqing a few days ago? After returning felt a bit uneasy, came to ask, if anyone wants revenge!"
As soon as the words fell, the vast courtyard fell silent, everyone exchanged glances, disbelief climbed their faces, it seemed every word was understood, yet once assembled together, it was like a Celestial Book.
At this moment, even Jiang Hu’s smile slowly froze, sharply turning his head, seeing the sincere Zhang Fan, seemingly five words burst from his eyes.
"I’m fucking speechless!"
It was supposed to be visiting friends, turned out to be revenge...no...
"Zhang Fan, you’re arrogant!"
Finally, Wang Xuanfei recovered, with a tender shout, wrapped in uncontrollable fury.
Wang Xuanqing harbored resentment over the matter, but due to Wang Xuansha’s warning, she chose to let it go.
The Wang Family never pursued it, who would have thought this guy would come knocking, asking if anyone wanted revenge.
What is this?
This damned thing isn’t heartfelt concern, but blatant provocation.
"Don’t think that just because you have the Xiong Family backing you, you can act recklessly..." Wang Xuanfei bit her silver teeth tightly.
"On the territory of Yujing, the Xiong Family can’t cover the sky with one hand, much less now that you are in my Wang Family."
On Wang Xuanfei’s delicate and beautiful face lay a frosty chill. Her Wang Family, hailing from the Worshiping Star Sect, was deeply rooted in Yujing City, its power top-notch and elite. When had they ever been so disdainfully underestimated by a nameless junior?
"Why don’t you understand what’s good for you? I considered that you might feel uncomfortable, so I came to ask if anyone wanted revenge?"
Zhang Fan curled his lip, once again realizing the diversity of species.
"Fine, I’ll satisfy you." Wang Xuanfei immediately regretted the words as they left her mouth.
Her power was still below Wang Xuanqing’s, the latter had already fallen before Zhang Fan, not to mention her!?
"You better forget it."
Zhang Fan shook his head, his eyes focused, landing on Wang Xuanmiao beside him. He had seen this woman in Wang Xuanqing’s Primordial Spirit Fragment.
That night, it was her and Wang Xuanqing who had devoured Xiong Qianxing and Ming Chenxuan’s Primordial Spirits.
"This young lady seems formidable, may I have your name?" Zhang Fan asked casually, without revealing his emotions.
"Wang Xuanmiao!"
Wang Xuanmiao’s voice was calm as she introduced herself, a gentle smile on her face, though her heart was filled with murderous intent.
From the moment she appeared, she felt that Zhang Fan’s attention had not shifted away from her for even a moment.
At this moment, Wang Xuanmiao was ninety percent sure that this so-called unknown figure was targeting her.
"Could it be he discovered Wang Xuanqing’s secret? Here to probe my reality?" Countless thoughts immediately rose in Wang Xuanmiao’s mind.
"This kid cannot be left alive." Wang Xuanmiao’s beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, instantly making a decision.
But she was deeply scheming, knowing that since Wang Xuanqing had suffered at this person’s hands, the other must have some superior skills. To eliminate him without a sound here would not be easy. Fortunately, this was the Wang Family, this was the Beidou Hall.
A plan to use borrowed strength to kill instantly took shape.
"I’ve seen plenty of young people growing arrogant, but such madness as yours, I’ve never seen." Wang Xuanmiao spoke.
"Since you’re so confident in your Daoist Skill, I’ll take it. Follow me."
As she spoke, Wang Xuanmiao turned to lead the way to the training room.
The crowd saw this and made way. If looks could kill, by now Zhang Fan and Jiang Hu would have been torn to pieces.
The door of the training room slowly opened, a beam of light streamed in.
Wang Xuanmiao walked inside.
"Xuanmiao, why are you bringing two outsiders in here?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Various eyes fell on them; Wang Zhenshi looked up, revealing an expression of displeasure.
"These two are here to stir up trouble." Wang Xuanmiao’s tone took an abrupt shift, yet her eyes were fixed inside the room, on the most wild figure within.
At this moment, Wang Xuangang also saw Zhang Fan.
"Stir up trouble? Who dares to come causing issues at my Wang Family?"
Instantly, a heated discussion boiled over, brimming with anger.
"See if you can survive?"
Inside her heart, Wang Xuanmiao was smug; she had already noticed Wang Xuangang’s gaze, this madman looked at him like prey, wild with excitement.
Beings eyed by him in such a way hardly ever have a path left to live.
Buzz...
Sure enough, Wang Xuangang took a step forward, moving with the power of a tiger, and instantly arrived in front of Zhang Fan.
The crowd seeing this couldn’t help but secretly sigh, that a young man was about to wilt in front of them.
Rumble...
The ground under Wang Xuangang’s feet creaked from his step, his inner True Yang surged like a raging tide, roaring.
At this moment, Wang Xuanmiao’s complexion changed, she had never seen Wang Xuangang react this way before. Clearly, this Zhang Fan was an interesting toy, but after being played with, it would be hard for him to remain whole.
"Long time no see."
However, at this moment, Zhang Fan suddenly spoke, with a tone as if reuniting after a long separation.
"I missed you dearly."
Wang Xuangang laughed out loud, spreading his arms wide, and in the astonished gazes of the crowd, gave Zhang Fan a big hug.
