Chapter 2495 - 2493: Ascending the Immortal Path
Long Fei had deliberately withdrawn the Green Lotus, making Emperor Shi Tian and Mosquito Daoist think they had a chance, trapping them in the lightning tribulation to cross together.
The power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation confined the two, making them feel as though they were stuck in a quagmire, unable to escape for the moment.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation is a force involving the spatial and temporal Laws of the Yin Yang realms, also known as the Power of Reincarnation.
If it weren’t for their heaven-defying cultivation levels and their respective magical treasures for protection, they would have already been reduced to dust by the Power of Reincarnation.
This tribulation was Long Fei’s Primordial Spirit tribulation; due to the massive karma involved, the power of the thunder was beyond human imagination.
Chu Feng and others had already passed their tribulation, and upon seeing Long Fei’s tribulation, they couldn’t help but click their tongues in wonder, thinking to themselves this wasn’t a tribulation; it was Heaven’s way of trying to wipe Long Fei from the world.
Giant bolts of thunder struck one after another, burning the sky red and evaporating a black hole in the seawater below.
Wang Xiaoya and the others stood far on the outskirts, yet the waves of thunder continued to bombard them, leaving their faces feeling hot.
Caught in the thunder, Emperor Shi Tian and Mosquito Daoist wished they could eat Long Fei alive.
All around them was golden thunder, obscuring everything else from view.
Thunder and lightning passed over their bodies; even though they had long been physically invincible, the lightning still made them smell of roasted meat.
Under the protection of the Chaos Lotus Platform, Long Fei effortlessly cleaved through the Heavenly Tribulation and moved freely, finding Emperor Shi Tian amid the thunder.
He punched with the force of the Power of Reincarnation, striking Emperor Shi Tian’s back fiercely.
With a resounding bang, Emperor Shi Tian was caught off guard, and his back took the full brunt of the punch.
His spine cracked with a sharp snap, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood.
"You little wretch, dare you sneak attack this Emperor!"
He hurriedly shielded himself with the Golden Cymbal, emitting the aura of a Saint, forming a barrier around him.
Gold doesn’t avoid thunder; although this magical treasure could block Long Fei, it attracted lightning.
Already dense, the thunder crackled and struck more densely, gathering even more around Emperor Shi Tian.
His true form manifested, becoming a three-headed, six-armed black monster towering at thirty feet, his Asura Clan physique, roaring and raving under the thunder, appearing ever fiercer.
Long Fei stood nearby and asked him, "Do you know what lies at the end of reincarnation?"
Emperor Shi Tian shouted hoarsely, "This Emperor has already jumped out of reincarnation, beyond the Five Elements, whatever the end may be!"
Long Fei laughed aloud, "Then I think I should let you see. Tell me the next time we meet."
The Power of Reincarnation swirling around Emperor Shi Tian became increasingly violent and rampaged, forming a black vortex that swallowed Emperor Shi Tian, causing him to vanish.
Mosquito Daoist was shocked, "Boy, who exactly are you?"
Protected by a three-petal Lotus Platform, he was unharmed in the thunder, only restrained by the Power of Reincarnation, preventing his exit.
"You want to try too?"
Long Fei lifted a hand, drawing the same Power of Reincarnation upon him, pulling Mosquito Daoist tightly inside as well.
Mosquito Daoist cursed in anger, "You little brat, I won’t let you off!"
He and Emperor Shi Tian vanished simultaneously in the air.
Long Fei finally sat down with tranquility, retrieving the Chaos Lotus Platform, and immersed himself in the thunder to pass the tribulation.
Relying on the Chaos Green Lotus could temporarily conceal the Heavenly Tribulation and avoid the Immortal Tribulation.
However, removing the Chaos Green Lotus would still attract the Immortal Tribulation; there’s no shortcut to take.
Within the thunder tribulation, the five types of deadly forces—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—were contained.
The thunder was vast, forming a golden ocean, completely wrapping Long Fei inside.
Even though Long Fei’s physical body had endured the Immortal Tribulation, facing this Primordial Spirit Heavenly Tribulation still made his body tighten suddenly.
It was as if falling into a grindstone, being repeatedly crushed by thousands of mountains.
As if falling into a Pill Furnace, being maddeningly burned by the fire of heaven and earth.
As if thousands of Immortal Swords were slashing his bones and cutting his soul.
Long Fei resisted the thunder tribulation with his body, his Primordial Spirit rapidly drawing upon the Heavenly Dao, integrating with it, comprehending the Immortal Rank method.
All he had learned in life swirled through his mind.
Time and space both froze at that moment.
His eyes seemed capable of penetrating the river of time, seeing from the inception of heaven and earth to the present.
The various Laws of the universe tangled momentarily, then dispersed before his eyes.
Mountains, rivers, wind and thunder, rain and electricity, earth, ocean, and sky formed chains of mystic patterns, streaking past his eyes.
For the first time, he saw this world so clearly, as though jumping from a well into the great world.
"Break the shackles, and a person transcends!"
The chains of Heaven’s order that had bound Long Fei snapped one by one, unraveling all confusion and restraints from within the well.
Immortal light enveloped him, Divine Sea produced Green Lotus.
His Primordial Spirit sat fresh within the Green Lotus, devoid of any impurity.
Heaven, Earth, and Man, the Three Flowers.
The Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, forming one flower as a True Immortal.
His Divine Sea bloomed with the first Human Flower, though a Lotus Dharma Laksana, embodied the Laws of the Human Path.
With this flower, absorbing heavenly and earthly energy, comprehending Heaven and Earth Laws became incomparably faster than before.
Clouds parted and fog dispersed, revealing sunshine.
The endless thunder scattered, revealing Long Fei’s form.
He looked down at Wang Xiaoya and the others with a gentle smile, "Long time no see!"
"Boss!"
"Brother Long!"
"Master!"
"..."
Everyone cheered excitedly, rushing up, surrounding him.
Wang Xiaoya stood at the back, smiling foolishly with tears, thinking they wouldn’t meet again until the Three Realms’ doors opened next time.
The group took Long Fei back to Jade Isle, colorfully leaving him to Wang Xiaoya, allowing them a moment alone.
Little Kirin and the others were pulled by Chu Feng and the group to drink wine, exquisite aged wine found in Jade Isle’s guest cellar, originally Heavenly Court’s hospitality wine.
A sip was said to extend life.
Ao Jie joined in the fun, exclaiming, "Dear me, this is Heavenly Court’s royal wine; I’ve only tasted a sip with my father in the East Sea."
He hadn’t expected people here to drink royal wine by directly picking up the wine jar.
Wang Xiaoya took Long Fei to a garden and sat him down in a pavilion.
She gazed at Long Fei, smiling gently, "Are my elder sister and the others well?"
"They’re good!"
Long Fei nodded, holding her slender hand, "You’ve endured so much over the years."
Wang Xiaoya leaned lightly into his arms, her eyes quickly turning red, "I’m fine, now that you’re here. Our sisters drifting through reincarnation till now, can only be liberated because of you. Compared to you, our little hardship is nothing."
Long Fei gently stroked her head, pulling her even closer.
Regardless of being human or immortal, Wang Xiaoya was always so understanding.
As they nestled together, suddenly a shock came from the heart of Jade Isle, making the entire island tremble.
Long Yuanchu’s voice rang out, "Old man, let me out!"
Wang Xiaoya suddenly sat up, covering her mouth with a laugh, "It’s your precious son!"
Long Fei chuckled, "What’s he up to?"
Wang Xiaoya explained, "He intruded into my master’s cave mansion and got trapped inside. He can only come out if he comprehends the cave’s wonders."
"Then he probably won’t come out for a while."
Long Fei got up with a smile and instructed her, "Let me see your cave mansion."
"Why go to the cave mansion?"
Wang Xiaoya’s face blushed.
Long Fei tapped her head with a laugh, "I want to see the ordered patterns inside your cave, what are you thinking!"
