Chapter 281 CHAPTER 280: Chief Jugge Huan’s Three Heavenly Tribulation Trials
Chief Jugge Huan then quickly flew toward a tall mountain nearby the Seven Stars Sect.
"Hmm, this place will do." He said, looking at the mountain filled with high spiritual energy. After that, he found a perfect spot on the top of the mountain.
Jugge Huan sat on it and began meditation for several minutes. "Fine, I'm ready now. Let's do it." He muttered, began making various hand gestures, and finally shouted, "Break it for me!" The next moment, he released the essence qi energy that had been compressing inside his Dantian all at once, breaking the nascent core inside his Dantian.
Every cultivator would form a nascent core by the time they reached the Nascent Soul Realm. Since then, they would continue enhancing and developing the nascent core until the Supreme God Realm. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖
After that, one must have had to break their nascent core and also gone through the three heavenly tribulation trials to break through and enter the Semi-Boundless Realm. One must have had made their minds before they went through this process because there was no returning from it, as they had to break the nascent core. It also meant one thing, one had no room for failure, as failure meant only one outcome that was dead.
Soon the sky turned darker and lightning bolts of different colors began to form in the sky. It stopped channeling after the 11th lightning gathered together with the other 10 heavenly lightning bolts.
The 11 beams of heavenly lightning of different colors began to fall over Jugge Huan one by one. Thus, his first trial of heavenly tribulation lightning began.
He easily bore the strikes from all the eleven lightning bolts without getting a single scratch on his skin. Thus, he got through the first trial easily.
The sky cleared up and brightened up the day once again.
"Come on, my second heavenly tribulation trial!" The old man shouted while looking up at the sky.
The next moment, he felt his body frozen as a white beam of light streaked toward him and entered inside his soul sea. By the time it entered inside, his soul sea trembled, causing several high waves on it.
The white beam suddenly turned into a large cauldron.
The next moment, Jugge Huan's figure, made from both his soul force and consciousness, materialized just above his soul sea.
He then saw the huge white cauldron hanging in the air above his soul-sea. "The 2nd heavenly trial is the trial of Dao and soul. That means I had to first comprehend the Dao of alchemy in this cauldron and refine it afterwards into part of my soul. Fine, let's do it." He muttered under his breath. Then he took a step forward and appeared just before the giant white cauldron.
Jugge Huan sat in the lotus position, stretched his both hands, and touched the giant white cauldron. The next moment, he closed his eyes and began comprehending the Dao contained inside the cauldron.
This went on for several days. On the 5th day, the giant white cauldron began to shake rapidly and finally exploded into multiple specks of white particles, entering inside the soul sea.
Jugge Huan opened his eyes and thought, "The 2nd heavenly tribulation trial was really a boon for me. I happen to learn a lot about the secret Dao of alchemy. Now, I can easily concoct those tier-9 pills." He then calmed himself down and mumbled softly, "The third heavenly tribulation trial is the trial of one's heart. This is the toughest trial. I must be careful."
"Jugge, are you afraid now?" A familiar voice spoke, making Jugge Huan tremble.
Jugge Huan turned around slowly, saw a handsome youth with all white Daoist robe and called briskly, "Master!" He then kneeled before the handsome youth.
"My-my, Jugge, you have already become this old. And what is wrong with you? You are so untidy. Didn't I tell you to be always careful of your appearance as an alchemy?"
"Is it really you, master?" Jugge Huan asked, looking at the handsome youth with surprise.
"Boy, have you gone nuts with ageing? It's me, your master." The handsome youth spoke, looking at Jugge Huan with kindness.
"Jugge, it's really nice seeing you again. But, I don't really have much time. Look carefully. I will show you how to use 5 elemental natural Daos to concoct a five elemental Semi-tier 10 pill. Also, concocting this pill will be your last heavenly tribulation test. I will warn you first. You have only one shot to concoct this pill once. Otherwise, you will fail. So, open up all of your five senses and feel them while I concoct it. Get ready. I shall start now." The handsome youth spoke to him.
He then suddenly made various hand seals and shouted, "Five elemental Daos; earth, water, air, metal and wood, come forth! " 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺
The next moment, five small balls of earth, water, air, metal and wood appeared above in the air around the handsome youth, forming a circle with him as the center.
The handsome youth made several hand seals quickly and shouted, "Metal-ball Dao, go and form my heavenly cauldron!" "Fireball Dao, help it!"
Before the eyes of the Chief Jugge Huan, the golden color metal ball natural Dao began to deform its shape with the help of the fireball natural Dao. It finally turned into a shaped of a golden color cauldron.
He continued making various hand seals quickly and shouted again, "Water-ball Dao, go cold it off!" Then the colorless water-ball natural Dao moved toward it and swallowed the whole cauldron. After a few seconds later, the water-ball natural ball spit the golden cauldron out in the air.
"Jugge, this is the very first step. Look carefully, I will begin the last step of concocting the pill." The handsome youth said.
He then continued another series of very intricate, subtle movement of his hands making various seals and shouted again, " Water-ball, go fill inside the heavenly golden cauldron. Fireball Dao, start burning the wood-ball Dao and heat up the heavenly golden cauldron." "Air-ball Dao, go keep blowing the fire and make it burned more!"
