Chapter 253 - 253 252 Tribulation Immortal Skill

253: Chapter 252 Tribulation Immortal Skill 253: Chapter 252 Tribulation Immortal Skill Outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, Biyou Palace.

Four Immortal Swords soared across the sky, with a Daoist bursting into wild laughter.

“Old fellow, you really are the same as ever, unable to hold back so soon.

But in this tribulation period, can you really preserve your Chan Sect lineage?”

…

Outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, an old Daoist sat cross-legged within the chaos, sighing deeply.

…

In the Western Lingshan, the land of Buddha, two Daoists were playing a game of black and white chess pieces sprawled before them, creating an illusory, hazy effect.

“Elder Brother, the tribulation period has begun, and Yuanshi has already become restless.”

“Younger Brother, do not be impatient.

When the time comes, we will naturally lead this child into our Buddhist Sect.”

…

Above the Nine Heavens, in the Void Secret Realm.

A Daoist in a blue robe gazed towards the Heavenly Palace, his aura gloomy yet cool.

“My dear disciple, beneath the Saints, all are mere ants.

You will never understand that this world is not as simple as you imagine.”

…

In the Heavenly Court, Palace of the Polestar.

As the golden light dissipated, the Jade Token fell into hand, and Ye Xuan’s mind trembled.

No one knew that when the Jade Token appeared, the Heavenly Punishment Halberd and the Bronze Immortal Scripture within his Sea of Consciousness surged violently.

Had he not suppressed them with all his might, these objects would have burst forth from within.

At this moment.

The Jade Emperor looked pale, his eyes displaying genuine terror upon looking at Ye Xuan.

Today’s falling of the Jade Token from beyond the heavens confirmed his previous conjectures—Ye Xuan’s roots were overly formidable, clearly hailing from the Chan Sect.

What frightened the Jade Emperor most was that for many tens of thousands of years, Saints had retreated into chaos, no longer manifesting in the eyes of the world.

Yet today, because of Ye Xuan, the Jade Token fell in the Heavenly Palace, a scenario beyond his imagination.

Not only was the Jade Emperor’s mind in turmoil, but the group of Immortals were also showing changes in their demeanor, growing increasingly curious about Ye Xuan’s identity.

They wondered what relationship this Daoist had with Yuanshi Tianzun.

Could it be… he belonged to the second generation of disciples from the Chan Sect?

As this thought emerged in the minds of the various Immortals, a look of horror appeared on each face, and their gazes towards Ye Xuan were filled with added fear.

“How dare you, lesser Fire Virtue Star Lord, slander my Chan Sect’s protector gods!

If you do not uphold justice for my sect today, my Chan Sect lineage will not rest.”

The Southern Eternal Celestial strided forth, with a large number of Immortals standing by him, effectively occupying half of the entire Palace of the Polestar.

This indirectly proved how significant a portion the Chan Sect occupied within the Heavenly Court.

Earlier, the Eternal Celestial was unsure if Ye Xuan was of the Chan Sect, but now, even Yuanshi Tianzun’s Jade Token had appeared, completely confirming Ye Xuan’s association with the Chan Sect.

“Jade Emperor, this Fire Virtue Star Lord and Martial Virtue Star Lord have falsely accused our Chan Sect’s protector gods.

Please, your Majesty, uphold justice for our sect.” The Eternal Celestial bowed deeply in the Daoist manner, his voice extremely sharp.

At this moment, the complex forces within the Heavenly Court became apparent.

Clearly, including the Eternal Celestial, many highly cultivated Immortals were followers of the Chan Sect, while a portion of them belonged to the Jie Sect.

Another set of gods were those inscribed on the Investiture of the Gods, held by the Jade Emperor, and naturally fell under his jurisdiction.

“Bring forth, take the Fire Virtue Star Lord and Martial Virtue Star Lord to the Immortal Slaying Stage, strip them of their Immortal Record, and cast them into the Beast Path reincarnation for ten lifetimes.”

As ruler of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor naturally understood the art of choosing and sacrificing.

Although he orchestrated this affair from behind the scenes, now that circumstances had changed, he evidently needed a scapegoat to appease the anger of the Chan Sect lineage.

“Your Majesty, have mercy!”

As the Fire Virtue Star Lord and the Martial Virtue Star Lord cried out for mercy, the Four Great Heavenly Kings quickly stepped forward, pulling out the Binding Immortal Rope to tightly bind the two and escort them out of the Palace of the Polestar towards the Immortal Slaying Stage.

Yet this scene, had the Jade Token not appeared earlier, would have definitely been satisfying for Ye Xuan.

But now, he felt nothing, his whole being excessively turbulent.

Yuanshi Tianzun, a Saint from beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens!

Ye Xuan never imagined that he would catch the attention of Yuanshi Tianzun, who even bestowed the Jade Token upon him.

He knew well he was not from the Earth Immortal Realm.

All the tales of the Witch Demon’s great calamity and the destruction during the Primordial era were fabrications he concocted.

Yet now, the appearance of the Jade Token turned these lies into truth, how could it not make Ye Xuan’s heart skip a beat?

The mind of a Saint is unfathomable.

Ye Xuan only wanted to hide in the shadows, continually advancing his cultivation.

This was the path he wished to tread, but now, with the emergence of the Jade Token, his plans were utterly disrupted.

Moreover, Ye Xuan had an intuition that Yuanshi, the bearings of the so-called protector god, surely had his motives.

“To spot a part is to know the whole.”

Since Yuanshi Tianzun knew of his existence, how could the other Saints not know?

Ye Xuan now felt like he was treading on thin ice, trapped in a shocking, complex scheme where a single misstep could mean death without even knowing how it happened.

Ye Xuan even faintly guessed, could that Primordial Spirit’s true body also be one of the Saints?

Or could it be Yuanshi Tianzun himself?

Thinking about this possibility made Ye Xuan’s scalp tingle, and he dared not continue the thought.

“Ye Qing family, it is truly a wrong done unto you.”

As Ye Xuan sank into his thoughts, the Jade Emperor approached him personally, his face full of remorse, constantly trying to soothe Ye Xuan.

Unfortunately, Ye Xuan did not respond, his mind unsettled as he rode the auspicious clouds out of the Lingxiao Palace, leaving the Jade Emperor in shock, simply watching the departing figure of Ye Xuan without saying anything.

After all, even the Yuqing Token had already been issued; although he was reluctant, he could do nothing to Ye Xuan.

…

After leaving the Lingxiao Palace, Ye Xuan rode the clouds back to the Luanyun Palace.

The gates of Luanyun Palace were tightly shut, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged on a cushion, staring intently at the Yuqing Token in his hand.

As his eyes opened and closed, a very stern color crossed them.

This Yuqing Token, seemingly a protective amulet for him, appeared to Ye Xuan as a death-summoning charm.

The will of the Saints could not be defied, everyone beneath them mere ants.

He was merely a minor Taiyi Mystic Immortal, how could he be noticed by a Saint?

Ye Xuan clearly understood that all these origins related to the Primordial Spirit, and the Heavenly Punishment Halberd along with the Bronze Immortal Scripture within him must have unimaginable origins to have caught a Saint’s attention.

What to do?

Ye Xuan kept asking himself, deeply engrossed in thought.

Buzz!

Half a day passed, and Ye Xuan awoke from his thoughts, directing his palm, three items appeared before him.

The first item, the Bronze Immortal Scripture left by the Primordial Spirit.

The second item, the greatest murderous weapon of all ages, the Heavenly Punishment Halberd.

The third item, the map of the Minghe given to him by the ancestor of the River of Blood.

The Bronze Immortal Scripture, made of unknown materials, contained all the techniques from the Undying Immortal Scripture, and Ye Xuan had even obtained the Forbidden Chapter from it.

The Heavenly Punishment Halberd, since entering the Earth Immortal Realm, had contained its murderous aura to the extreme, and Ye Xuan could fully feel a terrifying force within it, yet he could not utilize this power.

As for the map of Minghe, Ye Xuan did not look it over closely but placed all his focus on the Bronze Immortal Scripture and the Heavenly Punishment Halberd.

Buzz!

Suddenly, something strange happened.

The pages of the Bronze Immortal Scripture flipped, and streams of black Immortal Text emerged, instantly flooding over the Yuqing Token, directly swallowing its golden light.

Bang!

A muffled sound came, and the Yuqing Token instantly turned to ash, those streams of black Immortal Text surged into Ye Xuan’s forehead, leaving him utterly stunned.

“Tribulation Immortal Skill!”

After dozens of breaths, Ye Xuan exclaimed in shock, his complexion turning extremely red, for that segment of Immortal Text was a secret technique he had never seen in the Forbidden Chapter.

What is Tribulation Immortal Skill?

With Heaven and Earth as a slaughtering ground and all beings as its fodder, Tribulation Immortal Skill walks the path of stealing heaven, not only able to devour the Dao Fruits of Immortals but also to transform their inherent Divine Skills for its own use.

That is the horror of Tribulation Immortal Skill.

Ye Xuan was startled and extremely amazed, as there was no such technique in the Forbidden Chapter, and yet the Yuqing Token with the Saint’s aura was devoured and evolved into this defy-heaven technique by the Bronze Immortal Scripture.

What secret was hidden within?

Ye Xuan could not understand, but he no longer pondered it.

Since he had already caught the eyes of the Saints, worrying day and night would be fruitless; he could только wait and see what happens next.

Moreover, Ye Xuan understood that if a Saint wanted to harm him, with his current cultivation level, he had no power to resist.

The only thing he needed to do now was to continually enhance his cultivation.

Only if he himself was strong, no matter if it was the Jade Emperor or those high above Saints, he would have the ability to protect himself.

Furthermore, Ye Xuan faintly guessed that the Bronze Immortal Scripture and the Heavenly Punishment Halberd must be related to the Saints, carrying tremendous secrets within them.

If one day he could uncover these secrets, perhaps he would have a means to contend against the Saints.

Now that he had the Tribulation Immortal Skill, he could rapidly enhance his cultivation and, considering the numerous Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicines within this Heavenly Realm, his cultivation was bound to see a qualitative leap.
