Chapter 95: Crossing Tribulation Period

  In a simple house, some books are placed, the room is clean and tidy, giving people an extremely close-to-nature feeling.

  In a corner of the house, sat a scholar about thirty years old, wearing a Confucian robe, with a handsome face and calm eyes like still water. His long hair was slightly scattered behind his back. A warm smile on his face seemed to infect everything around him. When facing him, even if you had deep grievances against him, you couldn't help but feel a few points of affection in your heart.

  Zhang Heng initially thought that this Confucian scholar was a handsome man, but immediately afterwards he cursed inwardly, "Where did this little pretty boy come from?"

  "My name is Luo He. I arrived at Xue Sha Dong Fu thousands of years ago. The two of you being able to come here means a destined reunion. Please, take a seat."

  The voice of Confucian scholars is warm and pleasant, bringing a refreshing feeling like a gentle breeze, making all troubles disappear.

  Zhang Heng didn't mince words either, plopping himself down in the chair and introducing himself: "I'm Tang Feng, I've only been at Blood Kill Cave Mansion for over a dozen days."

  Zhao Rui said with a slight blush: "My name is Zhao Rui, he's my older brother."

  "Brother Zhao, don't be polite. You being able to obtain the First Heaven Spirit Treasure's favor is definitely a person with boundless good fortune. The path of cultivation from now on will also become even more smooth."

  Luo He looked at Zhao Rui with a hint of envy and then shifted his gaze back to Zhang Heng.

  To be exact, he wasn't looking at Zhang Heng, but rather at the Snow Lotus in Zhang Heng's hand.

  "Snow lotus, after nine years, you've returned here again, but I never thought you'd meet me in this state...". Luo He's eyes held a complex expression as he gazed at the snow lotus in Zhang Heng's hand.

  Zhang Heng's hand holding the Snow Lotus trembled slightly, sending a spiritual fluctuation towards Luo He.

  Luò River seemed to also possess the ability to communicate with her, and after a while, she let out a sigh:

  "I didn't expect that you and Ning Xue would both experience such unfortunate encounters. Thinking back, I really shouldn't have let you two leave the cave."

  Zhang Heng listened quietly, feeling that the relationship between Luo He and the two women in front of him was not simple at all. What surprised Zhang Heng even more was that Luo He actually had the ability to bring these two women out of the Blood Kill Cave Mansion!

  "Brother Luohe, do you still have the Tianling liquid in your hands? Why not let Xuefeng sister recover her human form now?" reminded Luo Ningxue from the side.

  "Unfortunately, I no longer have the Heavenly Essence in my possession. The two drops I had initially were also obtained by chance at the Blood Kill Cave Mansion." A hint of regret flashed across Luo He's eyes.

  Zhao Rui asked doubtfully: "Isn't it possible without the Heavenly Spirit Liquid? The old man I met last time, he didn't have any magical powers, but he still managed to turn Luo Shixiong back into a human."

  "Like that extraordinary being from the outside world, it's hard to encounter a few within this realm. I'm just a cultivator in the tribulation period..." Luo He sighed softly.

  "Crossing tribulation period!?" Zhang Heng's heart skipped a beat as he stared at the scholar in front of him, hardly daring to believe it.

  The stages that a Cultivator goes through are: Awakening, Refining Qi, Building the Foundation, Forming the Elixir, Embryonic Breathing, Separation of Spirit and Body, Union of Body and Spirit, Transcending Tribulations, and Mahayana.

  Once you have passed through the transitional tribulation period and reached the Mahayana period, you can completely become a legendary immortal, from then on you can escape the cycle of birth and death, reaching the realm of eternal life.

  Zhang Heng was terrified when he saw Ouyang Old Ancestor in the Foundation Establishment stage on Mount Fangyun, and now facing a Tribulation Transcender cultivator, his heart suddenly felt a sense of reverence.

  The long and arduous path of cultivation, those who can reach the Yuan Ying stage are rare talents in the world, as for those who can reach the Tribulation stage, they are even more rarely seen in tens of thousands of years.

  According to the ancient books circulating in the Samsung domain, except for the Blood Killing God Emperor with unknown strength, there have been only a dozen or so successful cultivators who reached the Tribulation Period in the past million years. As for those who ascended to immortality, it seems that not even one has appeared.

  Millions of years of cultivation history, only a dozen or so have reached the Tribulation Crossing stage, from which we can see that the Confucian-robed man in front of us has extraordinary talent.

  Currently, in the Eastern Cloud Continent, there may not be a second Tribulation stage cultivator. As for the Three Star Domain, the strongest seems to only be at the Separation of Spirit stage.

  "Senior, you have reached the Tribulation Period, isn't that invincible in this cave?" Zhao Rui asked with a shocked expression.

  "You two are no ordinary people, and your future achievements will probably not be lower than mine. You don't need to address me as a senior anymore." Luo He smiled lightly, "You can just call me Luo Dao You from now on."

  "That's great!" Zhao Rui also did not decline and immediately agreed.

  Zhang Heng was slightly stunned, a top cultivator like Luo He who was so approachable and down-to-earth was rare in the entire cultivation world.

  Of course, this is also related to the potential of Zhang Heng and Zhao Rui. Especially Zhao Rui, who was able to obtain the existence of the Xiantian Lingbao, a supreme treasure. His future achievements will definitely be astonishing.

  "This Blood Killing Cave can be considered an independent space, with its own unique set of rules. As a cultivator like me who has reached the Tribulation Crossing stage, I am not allowed to attack cultivators participating in the trial, provided that they do not provoke me."

  Zhang Heng suddenly remembered a rule when entering the cave mansion, every cultivator who participated in the trial must obtain three blood kill marks, otherwise they would be trapped in the cave forever.

  "Was Luo Dao You one of the cultivators who participated in the trial from the beginning?" Zhang Heng asked.

  Luò River nodded and said, "Not bad. I used to be a Qi-refining disciple of the Xian Ru Zhai sect in Chu State. I was lucky enough to participate in a trial, at that time only our fellow disciples from the same sect entered it. There were no monsters in the cave either. After entering the cave, Luò River couldn't bear to hurt his fellow disciples, so he stayed in the cave."

  "Isn't the Xianru Pavilion of Chu State in Fangyun Mountain?" Zhang Heng asked in surprise.

  Luo Hei hesitated for a moment before saying, "The location of the opening of this cave is not fixed. I have been cultivating in this cave for several thousand years and have seen many cultivators from different sects enter this place. Generally, every hundred years or so, a group of cultivators will come, but sometimes it can be over a thousand years before another cultivator enters."

  Zhang Heng was astonished, this Blood Kill Cave Mansion, the three factions of Fangyun Mountain were only discovered in recent hundreds of years. And the founding time of the three factions of Fangyun Mountain is not less than a thousand years, so the opening place of this Blood Kill Cave Mansion may also have appeared on Fangyun Mountain in recent hundreds of years.

  "Since this cave has its own system of laws, you can't even get out yourself, so how did you send Luo Shidi and Ning Shidi out?" Zhang Heng immediately raised the doubts that had arisen in his mind.

  "It's because of the heavenly tribulation." Luo He let out a soft sigh.

  Tribulation of Heaven? Zhang Heng was slightly stunned. Luo He had reached the Tribulation Period, and indeed had to face the Tribulation of Heaven.

  But for Zhang Heng and other low-ranking cultivators, the Heavenly Tribulation was probably an extremely distant thing.

  "What does this have to do with the heavenly calamity?" Zhao Rui asked in confusion.

  "The cultivators of the Tribulation Period will face four Heavenly Tribulations, namely the Initial Tribulation, Minor Tribulation, Middle Tribulation and Great Tribulation. The power of these four Heavenly Tribulations is progressive in layers, and I have safely passed through three of them."

  The Luo River paused slightly.

  "This Blood Killing Cave's internal system, although self-sufficient, cannot escape the constraints of heaven and earth. Whenever a heavenly tribulation descends, this cave's system will momentarily falter. I, locked down by the heavenly tribulation, am unable to move, but I can expend some spiritual energy to transport one person outside the cave... During the first two trials, I transported Xue Feng and Ning Xue out of the cave..."

  Luhe smiled self-deprecatingly: "I didn't expect that they would also have a hard time outside the cave."

  Zhang Heng let out a slight sigh of relief, never expecting that Luo He could transport people outside the cave through such means. Probably even the Blood Kill Emperor hadn't considered this possibility.

  A monk who enters the cave, with a kind heart and unable to bear killing others, can undergo bitter cultivation here and reach an unattainable tribulation period.

  "Tang Dao, thank you for bringing Xue Rong here, please hand her over to me."

  Luo He gave Zhang Heng a warm smile and slightly extended his hand.

  Zhang Heng hesitated in his heart, he could completely not hand over Xue Lian to Luo Hei, although the other party's strength had reached the Tribulation Period, but in the Blood Killing Cave Mansion, they couldn't take action against Zhang Heng.

  This Snow Lotus also had a lifesaving grace for Zhang Heng, and would be of great help to him in the future. To hand it over so easily, Zhang Heng was really not willing.

  "What's so difficult about that?" Seeing Zhang Heng seemingly unwilling to hand over the Snow Lotus, Luo He furrowed his brow slightly.

  Zhang Heng was just about to speak when the Snow Lotus in his hand trembled slightly, sending a spiritual fluctuation towards Luo He.

  Luhe fell silent for a moment before looking at Zhang Heng with a complex gaze again, then said faintly:

  "After Tang Daoyou, take good care of Xue Rong, she is a kind girl."

  Zhang Heng was slightly stunned, and Ning Xue seemed willing to follow him. Why was that?

  At this moment, a special vibration occurred between heaven and earth, and the stern heavenly power descended upon this region.

  Luo He's expression changed: "Heavenly Tribulation?!"

  Among these people, only Luo He has reached the Tribulation period.

  And he still has to face the last heavenly tribulation in the Tribulation Crossing Period.

  If successful, one can ascend to heaven and become immortal; if defeated, one's soul will be scattered and there will be no place to hide.
