Chapter 672: Chapter 575: Goal: Crossing Tribulation! 【Seeking Monthly Ticket, Seeking Subscription】

Although his White Peach Tower was a fourth-grade preaching Fu Tower, his reputation was previously only at the faux infant stage, hence genuine beings rarely sought him for instructions.

To his astonishment, God Monarchs were now queuing up!

Of course, this was due not only because he had advanced to the Primordial Spirit stage but also because he was Li Shenghong, and above all, an Earth Immortal Dao Cultivator.

"There’s a message from the Preaching Tower, asking if you, Martial Uncle, plan to choose a tower at Inheritance Peak to teach, or rebuild one here at White Peach Peak! If it’s a rebuild, it would probably take several months." An Xingsheng promptly supplemented as he received the news.

Wang Zijia shook his head, "I do not have the time for a regular course every month, let’s just go to Qifeng and teach. That way, I can be like those preaching elders, teaching a couple of classes when I have the opportunity, and disregarding it when I am busy."

"Alright," responded An Xingsheng with deference and respect.

As usual, the two of them dealt with recent issues, especially those that arose from his breakthrough.

Once everything was pretty much sorted, An Xingsheng retreated.

Upon leaving, he let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Clearly, facing him who seemingly hadn’t changed much, An Xingsheng felt tremendous pressure.

······

Having taken care of most things, Wang Zijia went straight back to the Cultivation Room of the White Peach Courtyard.

As the crimson book fluttered open, Wang Zijia entered the Duobao World.

As soon as he stepped into the Duobao World, he felt the grand transformation of the world around him!

The territory had expanded almost tenfold, covering nearly half the area of the Wanyu Sect.

The concentration of spiritual energy had also increased several times, resulting in a world that was beautifully extraordinary, with birds singing, flowers blooming, and seeming like a paradise secluded from the world, a mystical place of the immortals.

The ambiance here was fully suitable for use now.

For instance, it could be the core base of the Demon Suppression Sect, or the inner world of the Hidden Faction.

From this moment on, all of Wang Zijia’s various layouts could be merged together, making this place their headquarters. This arrangement would be impressive no matter what.

However, there was no rush for these matters!

While keenly sensing the changes in the Duobao World, he was getting accustomed to his cultivation status.

Breaking through to the Primordial Spirit stage may not have been as earth-shattering as breaking through to the Infant God stage. However, because Wang Zijia had perfected three paths before entering the Primordial Spirit stage, he needed time to explore and adjust to many things.

During the spell-animation period, he was continuously using up all eleven times his Primordial Spirit’s mana - his own, the Five Ghosts’, and the five times mana of the external Dantian supplied by the Magma Demon Armor.

Then, he was continuously recovering; this back and forth was the fastest way to familiarize himself with the fluctuations in his power!

This process also quickened the progress of the spell-animation and significantly increased its power.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

Once Wang Zijia was fairly familiar with the changes in his cultivation status and methods, he stopped secluding himself.

Lately, White Peach Peak was bustling as if it were a market.

······

In the early morning, as per usual, Wang Zijia was doing his morning exercises, practicing martial arts with the women.

Having accepted that Wang Zijia had advanced to the stage of a mighty primordial spirit cultivator, they returned to some of their daily routines.

After finishing the workout and breakfast, Wang Zijia did not go to White Peach Tower but left White Peach Peak.

······

At the foot of Inheritance Peak, before the Heavenly Inquiry Tower.

Wang Zijia no longer descended from a designated landing sector but directly arrived in front of the Heavenly Inquiry Tower.

Initially, he planned to fly directly into the eighth floor. But after some thought, he decided get to go through the necessary procedures!

After all, this was his first visit after the breakthrough—he didn’t want to give Zhang Decheng the impression that he had become arrogant after achieving the breakthrough.

The Heavenly Inquiry Tower was the core of the entire Taoist Lineage, surrounded by many disciples.

The moment he landed, all the disciples in the vicinity were alerted.

"It’s Ruoguan Daoshi!"

"Should we call him God Monarch now?"

"······"

"Greetings, Elder Chi Yang!"

"Pleasure to meet you, Chi Yang God Monarch!"

Discussions and excited whispers filled the air.

Under the propaganda of the Taoist Lineage, his legendary deeds had made him a sensation. After the revelation of the ’Nine Tribulations Chi Yang’, the exaggeration levels only increased.

Consequently, people finally stopped addressing him as Ruoguan!

Wang Zijia responded to the disciples’ enthusiasm with a gentle smile and a slight nod.

No sooner had he stepped into the Heavenly Inquiry Tower than Zhang Xiumin came to greet him, hurrying all the way.

"Greetings, Elder Chi Yang!" Zhang Xiumin respectfully addressed Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia nodded his head and asked, "Is the Tower Master here?"

"Yes, um... would you like me to guide you upstairs, elder?" Zhang Xiumin asked cautiously.

Wang Zijia waved his hand and said, "I’ve been here more than two or three times before, I can go up myself!"

With that, Wang Zijia, with his composed stride, ignored the disciples who were paying respects as he passed and headed towards the eighth floor.

"Senior Sister, isn’t Nine Tribulations Chi Yang one of your Zhang family members?"

"Is Wang Daozi really the reincarnation of a sword immortal?"

"This one has truly become a Primordial Spirit? Isn’t he a God Monarch of the Primordial Spirit at a young age?"

"But wait, didn’t they say he has experienced Three Calamities? Shouldn’t it be Crossing Tribulation then?"

"Yeah. There was such a huge commotion that day!"

"That’s a bit too exaggerated, isn’t it?"

"Yeah, it feels like listening to a mythical story. I was still lingering at the childhood stage when I was young!"

"Is this really Li Shenghong, the peerless sword immortal from eight thousand years ago? Wasn’t he said to be the Ninth Prince of Daqian? How does this add up now?"

"He should still be one of us in our Sect, after all, Elder Chi Yang, although he has not been with us for long, is still a disciple of our sect with a good background. Our sect probably wouldn’t push such a mighty Great Cultivator away, right? How many of such characters do we have in our sect?"

"Why are you all worrying about these things? You just worry about nothing all day!"

"······"

No sooner had Wang Zijia stepped out than the entire Heavenly Inquiry Tower entered gossip mode.

Cultivators aren’t non-gossipy; they just gossip about different things, that’s all.

Heavenly Inquiry Tower, eighth floor.

"I pay my respects to the Tower Master!" As usual, Wang Zijia bowed respectfully.

Zhang Decheng’s attitude was still amiable, but he did not wait anymore and warmly welcomed him.

"Ha ha, you little rascal... You’ve finally come out. If you had stayed in there any longer, my tower would have been trampled flat."

During the conversation, the two of them familiarly sat down next to the tea table in the room, chatting while making tea.

"You didn’t even tell me in advance about your breakthrough, leaving me completely unprepared."

"If you had given me an early heads-up, even if you were gifted with innate wisdom and were the reincarnation of a sword immortal, you probably wouldn’t have affected your work in our Scripture Pavilion."

"By the time all the dust had settled, there would have been nothing the Head Teacher and others could do about it."

The reason the Head Teacher dealt with it this way, apart from a few other reasons, was probably that he didn’t want Wang Zijia to be completely tied to the Scripture Pavilion.

After all, the impact of the Earth Immortal Path was too great. If it was completely tied to the Scripture Pavilion, which was already very powerful, it would probably dominate the entire sect.

At that time, not even the Head Teacher would be able to balance it, which would not be conducive to the development of the sect.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia smiled and said, "It’s okay, I think it’s pretty good. Even if I worked in the Scripture Pavilion, the benefits aren’t much. If there’s something special to do, I can just rely on my connections, right?"

"Retiring early to avoid struggling for thousands of years, I think it’s a good idea."

At that moment, the smile on Zhang Decheng’s face froze.

Wang Zijia paused for a moment, then continued to speak on a different topic. "A few days ago, it was actually an accident. I didn’t expect that reaching the Primordial Spirit stage would cause such a commotion. I’m still confused now!"

Zhang Decheng shook his head and handed a book to Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia took the book and took a look.

Detailed Explanation of the Six Realms of Mortals

It was surprisingly a book explaining the cultivation from the child to the seven realms before becoming an Earth Immortal. It doesn’t involve any cultivation methods or spells, it’s completely a collection of cultivation experiences, and discusses many secrets.

It even includes directions that can be taken if one fails to become an immortal or cross the tribulation.

For example, simply giving up on being a three-flowered Immortal and turning to ghost dao to become a ghost immortal, or becoming a Turbid Immortal or a loose immortal after taking on the thunder tribulation and having a crippled body.

Though not a cultivation methods secret book, it is better than one, for it discusses the general cultivation process and methods before becoming an Immortal.

With this kind of guideline, those with extraordinary talent could even create their own cultivation method with incomplete cultivation methods.

While Wang Zijia was browsing through the book, Zhang Decheng’s voice echoed in his ears.

"I’ve been looking through a lot of material these past few days and I have a rough idea of what’s going on."

Wang Zijia paused in his reading and looked at Zhang Decheng. Although he had some suspicions, he was indeed quite confused.

"You should still have your elixir intact, and forcibly combined another Dao consistency into your mana, resulting in your magic origin, right?"

Wang Zijia nodded, opting not to respond.

"You really are a monster... I have to admit it!" Exclaimed Zhang Decheng after a brief pause:

"According to the records, those who successfully cultivate into the Primordial Spirit and have a solid foundation often start on the path of forging their Dao bodies ahead of time. Before they become immortals through Crossing Tribulation, they have already forged their connection to the world."

"And the spectacle that day was actually a preview of your Three Calamities."

"Such things were not common even in ancient times, but there were a few. They often occurred to gifted talents with extraordinary talent. There was even a time when people used these phenomena to speculate about the potential and abilities of these geniuses."

"Cases such as the spectacle of flying immortals cutting through the sky, implying the Emperor of the Immortals for the current age, or the spectacle of gifts being offered to the Moon Palace signifying a saintly demeanor and the likes."

"But in today’s era, especially in our Spirit Suppressing Realm, such phenomena have long disappeared."

’So it’s because of the three Dao consistencies that have been forged and the Dao body is beginning to take shape, isn’t it?’

Wang Zijia showed a look of understanding. He casually chatted with Zhang Decheng while browsing the book in his hand, not caring about etiquette or attitude.

The characters of the two actually got along very well. Before, because of their cultivation and status, Wang Zijia was a bit cautious and Zhang Decheng was a bit aloof.

But now, not only does Wang Zijia have a Primordial Spirit cultivation, but he is also the reincarnation of a Sword Immortal. Even the Head Teacher speaks to him as an equal, and even the Tower Master, Li, behaves like a junior due to various reasons.

Perhaps because of these reasons, their interactions had become much more harmonious.

The two chatted idly for quite a while and discussed a lot about the current state of affairs in the veins.

When everything seemed ready, Wang Zijia suddenly wore a hesitant look on his face.

"Is there anything you need, Junior Brother Wang? Do we still have anything to hide from each other?" Upon seeing this, Zhang Decheng simply asked bluntly.
