Chapter 150: Chapter 149 Ancient Transcendance Tribulation Stage_1

“No, the [rules] here are flawed,” Yun Zhi frowned, noting that something was amiss as soon as she made her move.

The rule of this place should’ve been shattered by her palm, but the reality painted a different picture. Even though it seemed scattered on the surface, the underlying implications persisted. This shouldn’t be the case, even if her palm was held back.

“There are two types of [rules] here.” Yun Zhi figured out what was wrong. The initial rule written in the clouds is the first, which later transformed, giving rise to the second rule written in blood.

A contradiction between the two rules has caused total chaos in the entire Cave Heaven!

Someone intentionally caused chaos within the Cave Heaven, making it possible to enter but impossible to leave!

Furthermore, being an external rule, the fact that the second rule could compete against the original rule indicates that the one who set it is stronger than the master of the Cave Heaven!

True Master Sanli, who was at the peak of the Unification stage.

“Hehe, who disturbed my sleep?”

The sound of ice cracking echoed, followed by a powerful, almost dominating aura that emanated from the endpoint. Like a king above the heavens, it was indifferent and ruthless, looking upon the world condescendingly.

A burst of light tore through the sky, and the intimidating aura made one’s heart palpitate.

The aura grew increasingly powerful, with the momentum to sweep across everything.

“Early stage of Pass Tribulation.” Fairy Eternity quickly deduced the realm of the opponent.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou’s expressions changed dramatically. A foe at the early stage of passing tribulation was the strongest enemy they had encountered. Why was such a Great Power in slumber in the Unification stage Cave Heaven?!

Fairy Eternity, with her vast knowledge and experience, quickly came up with a plausible explanation.

“It’s understandable. Cave Heavens are excellent places to hide. Awakening in a Cave Heaven allows one to gradually regain their strength, but the drawback is that they cannot immediately perceive changes in the outside world. Perhaps this Transcendence Tribulation stage would still be asleep even after the Great Era battle is over.”

“So he came up with a clever solution. True Master Sanli would wake up, and after waking, he would definitely return to the Cave Heaven. Once he noticed the changes in the [rules], he would take action, and by then, he would be awakened by True Master Sanli’s movements.”

“This Transcendent Tribulation stage being set the new rule in the Cave Heaven, which is to kill anyone who stumbles into this place mistakenly so that his sleep won’t be interrupted.”

Lu Yang was breaking out in cold sweat, as he hadn’t expected things to be so complicated.

“Hey what are you afraid of, with me here, can easily kick this early stage of Passing Tribulation to his death”, Yellow Bean shamelessly boasted, knowing Yun Zhi was here and it was not her turn to act.

“I am Blood Demon Venerable. Who are you? State your name.” Blood Demon Venerable looked indifferently at Eldest Senior Sister, who could easily break the rules, guessing she must be at least at the early stage of Passing Tribulation.

But so what? He was confident that even if he faced someone in the mid-stage of Passing Tribulation, he would not fall behind.

“Blood Demon Venerable?!” Meng Jingzhou exclaimed in a low voice.

“Do you know him?” Lu Yang asked.

“Yes.” There weren’t many at the Passing Tribulation stage, and each of them had the qualification to be recorded in history. Hence, Meng Jingzhou had heard of the Blood Demon Venerable. When he was young and couldn’t sleep, his mother often scared him with the tale of the Blood Demon Venerable.

“Blood Demon Venerable is a demon cultivator, a mass murderer. It’s said he wrote the names of cities on pieces of paper, crumpled them into balls, and whichever he picked, he used people from that city for cultivation. His cultivation path was littered with dry bones!”

“He also supported an Emperor Yu, became the Imperial Teacher himself, and wielded great power within the Great Yu dynasty. He disappeared later. Some said that he died under Thunder Tribulation because of his numerous misdeeds. As it turns out, he hid here!”

“Seek Dao Sect, Yun Zhi.”

Seeing Yun Zhi unmoved, Blood Demon felt puzzled. Had his fame not been carried on to this era?

No matter, he would have to cause a massacre, letting the world remember his name once again.

The stages of Passing Tribulation and Unification are not the same. They can quickly revert to their peak states once they awake.

A gigantic bloody figure roared, standing tall between heaven and earth. As the bloody giant, he transformed the [rule] into an ax and swung it effortlessly. The space trembled as if the entire Cave Heaven couldn’t withstand his power!

Yun Zhi held up one hand in front of her chest, emitting a limitless golden light. She resembled an Buddha stepping out from a mural— supremely sacred and inviolable.

With a push of her palm, myriads of golden lights pierced through the darkness, hurtling towards the blood-coloured giant.

The blood-coloured giant used the pair of axes as a shield. The axes, formed by rules, began to dissolve gradually amidst the countless golden beams of light. The giant’s sturdy exoskeleton also started to melt away alongside the axes.

The Blood Demon Venerable paled with shock: “It’s not right, you’re not at the early stage of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage!”

He tore apart the space and attempted to flee. Competing with someone at the mid-stage of Transcendance Tribulation might not yield a clear winner considering their close abilities. It wasn’t worth it to provoke such an enemy over personal matters.— not a wise move.

Upon ripping open the space, he would be randomly transported anywhere in the world, a place the enemy wouldn’t be able to locate.

Just as the Blood Demon Venerable was about to let out a bout of laughter and utter some threats, he saw an endless, dazzling golden light in front of him. Within that golden light, a beautiful silhouette gracefully approached.

Her walking pace seemed unhurried, but in reality, she moved extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, she had already appeared in front of the Blood Demon Venerable.

“No, you’re not at the mid-stage of Transcendance Tribulation at all. Even late-stage transcendents don’t have abilities like yours! You’re at the peak of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, or even beyond…”

“You know too much,” Yun Zhi coldly responded, pulling and twisting with both hands to extract the soul of the Blood Demon Venerable.

The physical body of a Cultivator at Transcendance Tribulation Stage is a prized material for refining. It should not be casually destroyed.

Yun Zhi pulled out a jade bottle and, imprisoning the Blood Demon Venerable’s soul inside, prepared to take it back to the sect for a prolonged period of torture.

The whole process was relaxed and effortless. The atmosphere of Cave Heaven was tranquil, as if nothing had happened.

The lion and the antelope danced together, maintaining harmony as they strove to show their good behaviour as Demon Beasts. The elephant lied on the ground, legs pointing to the sky, playing dead.

“It seems that the ancient cultivators at Transcendance Tribulation Stage might be hiding in a Cave Heaven.” Yun Zhi mused thoughtfully. It was something she hadn’t considered before, but she had to share this information with the other four Immortal Sects and the Great Xia Dynasty once she left the Cave Heaven.

“Let’s go.” Leaving behind those breezy words, Yun Zhi took light steps and moved towards the destination.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou exchanged a glance before jogging to catch up with her.

There weren’t any dangers on the way—at least as far as Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou could see.

However, from the Demon Beasts’ perspective, it was a completely different scenario—a terrifying great demon emitting a chilling frosty aura was bringing her two attendants along, roaming arrogantly in the Cave Heaven, posing an extreme danger.

As the trio arrived at their destination, they found several large golden treasure chests placed along with piles of Spirit Stones. Top-grade Spirit Stones were even found in larger quantity than high-grade ones, and the sight was mouth­watering.

This treasure contained not only the hoard of True Master Sanli but also some of the Blood Demon Venerable’s belongings.

As Yun Zhi opened the golden treasure chests, they found various natural resources and instructional manuals of cultivation techniques. Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were dazzled. Even with Meng Jingzhou’s experience, he could hardly identify the origins of such resources at that moment.

Yun Zhi could easily distinguish the names and uses of these things: “Dragon Transforming Grass, if a Flood Dragon ingests it and refines it internally, it can increase the success rate of the dragon transformation process by 30%.”

Transforming into a dragon is the dream of every Flood Dragon. It is not hard to imagine how valuable this item is.

“Bodhi Fruit can enhance wisdom upon ingestion, but the consequence is permanent hair loss.”

“Red Sun Diamond Sand is an essential ingredient for forging high-level fire- attributed magic artifacts.”

“Glass Sky Pure Water, applying it all over the body can keep the physical body immortal for a hundred thousand years.”

“Inner Core of Unification Stage Demon Beast…”

“Dragon tendon at Unification Stage…”

“Passion Powder…”

There were quite a lot of treasures related to the ‘Unification’ Stage.
