Novel Full Chapter 470
Chapter 470: Chapter 103 Transcending Heavenly Tribulation Chapter 470: Chapter 103 Transcending Heavenly Tribulation The Formation to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation had been determined to be the “Nine Curves Yellow River Formation” after consultation and discussion with Elder Shi Ding.
Although as the heir of the Heavenly Craft Workshop, Luo Yan had learned various kinds of Daoist magic, when it came to defensive and enemy-trapping capabilities, there really was nothing that could match this notoriously fierce Intercepting Cult Formation from the past, the Nine Curves Yellow River.
Moreover, the location chosen by Long Long for crossing the tribulation, above the East Sea in the Eastern Emperor Realm, was even more advantageous for the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation to exhibit its strength.
As they chatted, Elder Shi Ding also noticed that Luo Yan, this youngster, seemed to be very concerned about “Formation against large-scale attacks.”
Could it be that my disciple is about to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation?
Upon careful consideration, Elder Shi Ding realized Luo Yan was different from the other disciples; he did not like to stay inside the Heavenly Craft Workshop to engage in academic activities but often went out in search of adventures.
To be precise, he was often taken out to play by his own daughter…
Elder Shi Ding remembered the last time the two of them nearly got trapped in Kuocang Mountain.
So, did he find enough of the Purple Mansion’s secret medicine in those mystical realms outside?
Has he accumulated two hundred years of Refining Mansion Cultivation?
It was embarrassing to say, but even as Luo Yan’s master, Elder Shi Ding usually only cared about his proficiency in formations and his relationship progress with his daughter.
Regarding this disciple’s cultivation realm and combat strength, he knew nothing at all.
Feeling somewhat ashamed of this, and to maintain the dignity of the master-disciple relationship, he didn’t feel comfortable asking Luo Yan directly.
Instead, after Luo Yan excused himself and left, he quietly went to find his own daughter, Shi Liuli.

“My Refining Mansion cultivation?” Shi Liuli was startled for a moment, then quickly began calculating, “Father, the first Purple Mansion secret medicine I ever took was Mercurial Elixir Liquid, which is equivalent to sixty years of Refining Mansion cultivation.”
“Then I went with my junior brother to the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Cave and absorbed the Dynasty Yuan Spiritual Energy, that’s another fifty years of cultivation.”
“Followed by the flower petals of the Jade Pond Golden Lotus in the treasure vault of Lianshan, along with my junior brother, which accounts for thirty years.”
“And finally, there’s the Vermil-ground Pill before the top twelve competition in White Jade Capital, also thirty years of cultivation.”
“In total, that’s one hundred and seventy years of cultivation.”
“Oh,” murmured Elder Shi Ding, stroking his beard, and he had some understanding.
Shi Liuli was already at one hundred seventy years, and Luo Yan’s situation was likely similar since these experiences were all shared between the two.
In another thirty years (perhaps even shorter), they would reach the threshold of two-hundred years for the High Grade Golden Core.
It was normal for him to be inquiring about the matters of Transcending Heavenly Tribulation in advance.
However, Luo Yan only entered the Heavenly Craft Workshop twenty years ago, considering the time since he reached the Refining Mansion stage and the remaining lifespan he had, he still had at least one hundred and fifty years to cultivate.
With visits to several secret realms, and if he asked the Wan Xiang Immortal for help, with exceptionally good luck, perhaps he could push forward to four hundred years!
Although it becomes harder to continue accumulating Refining Mansion cultivation as one advances, since many readily available Purple Mansion secret medicines would have already been taken, it still wouldn’t hurt to try.
Therefore, Elder Shi Ding called Luo Yan back, lecturing him about the unprofitability of overly ambitious undertakings and pointed out the gap between a Second Grade Golden Core and a Third Grade Golden Core, roughly the same as the difference in strength between Qiu Changtian and Shi Liuli.
Luo Yan listened with amusement inside, but he knew that Elder Shi Ding was worried about him rushing into Core Formation.
He might have the chance to aim for a Second Grade but only achieve a Third Grade, leaving his Daoist Foundation not solid enough.
With that in mind, I guess I won’t be able to explain this level of strength to my master after I achieve Core Formation.
Well, since there is Ah Jing’s Illusion Technique, I don’t need to worry about my master detecting my true cultivation level.
I’ll deal with it when the time comes.
Luo Yan dismissed Elder Shi Ding’s concerns and went back to his residence.
He refined the Great Sun True Yang Fire obtained from the Shushan Fire Element Cave into the Five Elements Divine Light.
Then, he teleported directly to Long Long’s location.
After all, Wei Dongliu did not have a master or a sect, the Myriad Demons Evil Spirit Sword was subdued by force, and like the Flying Asura, it could not be trusted.
The Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu would probably not be very useful either, so he decided not to rely on them.

Upon reaching Jianmu Island in the Eastern Emperor Realm, Long Long took the opportunity to leave the Azure Dragon Clan territory and flew eastward by controlling his sword.
Only when he was within a radius of a thousand li and the vast ocean stretched as far as the eye could see, devoid of any trace of other cultivators’ activity, did Long Long finally stop and begin to set up the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation on the spot.
He suspended the cauldron vessel in midair, followed by three hundred and sixty formation flags, scattering them all into the surrounding space.
Originally, according to the mechanism of the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation, a Bewitching Immortal Pill could be placed within the cauldron vessel, so the formation could actively attack the outside world.
Using golden light to seal people’s cultivation level and draw them into the formation.
However, first, the Bewitching Immortal Pill was in the possession of Jiang the Witch, and second, what they were confronting this time was Heavenly Tribulation.
What use was there in attacking actively?
If they could keep the Tribulation Lightning out, they’d be grateful enough, let alone actively drawing it into the formation-was he eager to hasten his own demise?
Therefore, he did not bother to search through Wei Dongliu’s archives or ask Jiang the Witch to retrieve the Bewitching Immortal Pill.
Instead, he chose to set up a purely defensive Nine Curves Yellow River Formation.
With a life-and-death battle imminent, Long Long methodically arranged the formation, showing no signs of tension on his face.
The Kunlun Mirror, on the other hand, was somewhat restless and quietly asked the Green Duckweed Sword:
“Do you think he can successfully transcend the Heavenly Tribulation this time?”
“If it were someone else, I wouldn’t be sure,” the Green Duckweed Sword responded, “but if it’s him…
if he wasn’t confident, do you think he would dare to attempt transcending this tribulation?”
The Kunlun Mirror fell silent for a moment before saying:
“You make a valid point.”
Although they weren’t very confident in his strength, both the mirror and the sword were quite aware of his character, believing that with his ability to adapt, he would surely survive the First Grade Core Condensation Tribulation.
Having completed the formation setup, Long Long then sat upright in the center of the vast Nine Curves Yellow River Formation.
He had Ah Jing switch him directly to Qiu Changtian’s template to obtain the innate talent of Daoist Heart Clarity, immune to the Heavenly Demon.
The Green Duckweed Sword, Thunder Punishment Sword, and Myriad Bamboos Sword surrounded his body, the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword stood behind him, and the Huangting Kunwu Sword lay across his knees.
The Heavenly Craft Treasure Bag hung at his waist, the Yunlang Frost Ice Pot nestled in his bosom, Thor’s Awl in his left hand, and Thor’s Hammer in his right.
He slowly adjusted his breathing and, only when he reached his optimal state, did Qiu Changtian begin to circulate the Core Formation mental method of the “Nine Heavens Clear Entrance True Mantra.”
First, he activated the Daoist True Yuan within the Jade Mansion, separating it into True Yang and True Yin, two distinct types of pure True Yuan.
As Qiu Changtian had ingested five kinds of secret medicines of the Purple Mansion, embodying all Five Elements, and with the aid of Yinhui Yuanshen Water and other supportive elixirs, the True Yang and True Yin in his Dantian were incredibly pure, containing not even a trace of impurities.
Soon, he transformed the True Yang into the shape of an Azure Dragon and the True Yin into the shape of a White Tiger, preparing to commence the Dragon and Tiger synergy.
As the True Yuan of the Dragon and Tiger emerged, dense clouds of Tribulation also rapidly formed in the sky…
For Core Formation usurped the creation of heaven and earth, and defying nature to form a core would inevitably invite backlash.
Qiu Changtian remained unfazed, merely lifting his eyelids slightly to look at the sky.
Inside the Dantian, the Dragon and Tiger continued to spiral around each other, seizing the remaining True Yuan from the Qi Sea to bolster themselves.
According to the Core Formation mental method, the first step to create a First Grade perfect Golden Core was to transform True Yuan into Dragon and Tiger.
The second step was to derive String Qi from the Dragon and Tiger.
The Azure Dragon True Yuan, being of wood, corresponded to String Qi of fire and would transform into the Vermilion Bird; White Tiger True Yuan, being of metal, corresponded to String Qi of water and would transform into Xuanwu.
The third step, “When wood, fire, metal, and water unite, Dragon and Tiger harmonize in nature, all four symbols converge at the center, the achievement reverts to Earth, symbolized by Wu and Ji,” meant that once all four symbols of True Yuan were ready, then they would generate Earth System True Yuan in the center of the Jade Mansion, referred to as “the Old Mother.” It would merge all four symbol True Yuans, and the First Grade Golden Core would be formed.
With these thoughts in mind, he saw that the Tribulation clouds had grown extremely thick overhead, nearly blocking out all sunlight.
Below, the sea was tumultuously churning as if a storm was approaching, dimming the light of sun and moon.
The atmosphere between heaven and earth darkened, with fierce winds and rain whipping against the face, intensifying the aura of solemnity and danger.
Qiu Changtian ignored everything and continued to sit and cultivate, circulating the True Yuan in his Dantian, allowing the Dragon and the Tiger to keep roaming and growing within the Jade Mansion.
Then, those Tribulation clouds became even heavier, as if unable to bear the weight any longer, releasing the thunder within-manifesting as countless bright white orbs of light, fluttering down like goose feathers in heavy snow.
The first wave of this Five Elements Tribulation was actually the most perilous Pure Yang Metal Thunder from within the Five Elements Tribulation!
