Chapter 487: Chapter 441, Crossing the Heavenly Tribulation_2
No, I can’t undergo tribulation here. The Heavenly Tribulation is so formidable that once it descends, it will surely destroy both heaven and earth. How could the disciples of the Hundred Schools possibly survive?!
Bai Jin’s figure flashed and appeared ten thousand miles away. The tribulation clouds followed suit, shifting and repositioning themselves simultaneously above Bai Jin’s head, from beginning to end.
Bai Jin looked up at the lightning eyes of the Heavenly Tribulation, blinked her watery large eyes, and thought, "Senior Sister, it’s me! The pure and flawless Little White Crane!"
Boom~ The Heavenly Tribulation roared, and a snake as thick as an arm rushed out from among the clouds, striking down towards Bai Jin. Crackling with electric light, the tribulation lightning pierced through Bai Jin, with bolts of electricity shining upon her body.
Bai Jin stood still, clenched her fists, and thought, "Eh, it seems like I don’t feel a thing! Her heart swelled with joy. Thank heavens, thank earth, Senior Sister hasn’t forgotten me after all. She really did leave me a way out."
...
When the Heavenly Tribulation arrived, within the Demon Realm’s Heavenly Demon Hall, Kui Gang suddenly opened his eyes. The space before him twisted, and the scene of Bai Jin being bombarded by the Heavenly Tribulation emerged from the void.
Kui Gang laughed sinisterly and said, "Such a weak tribulation for attaining Dao, who is this person? Could it be related to the Heavenly Tribulation Master of the Primordial World?"
His gaze revealed a hint of ferocity. "You dare to take the power of the Heavenly Tribulation from me, how could I let you off so easily? Since you care so much about him, then I shall personally make my move and let him fall into the abyss of darkness!"
Kui Gang suddenly stood up, his figure turned vague, and he drifted towards the void. Just as he was about to cross through the void, a black light flickered through the twisted space.
A dark shadow was instantly repelled back, drifting far away within the void before abruptly solidifying into the figure of Heavenly Demon King Kui Gang.
Kui Gang looked up and exclaimed, "Demon Ancestor!"
An ethereal voice transmitted, "Kui Gang, this person must not be tainted by demons."
Kui Gang was filled with doubts. This person could actually make the Demon Ancestor personally speak out to protect him, who exactly is he? Could he be the illegitimate child of the Demon Ancestor in the Primordial World? Carefully, he said, "Please enlighten me, Demon Ancestor!"
Inside Black Cloud Palace, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou sat in the principal seat, with Wutian Demon King below him. Enlighten you? How to enlighten? Do I need to say that I fear Taishang Saint, Saint Tongtian, Primordial Saint, Nuwa, and Ping Xin all teaming up to barge in?
According to Wutian, the Western Two Saints also yearn for Bai Jin but can only watch from afar, not daring to desecrate her. If this person can be of use to me, then he would be a good piece on the chessboard.
Demon Ancestor Luo Hou calmly said, "You don’t need to concern yourself with this; just do as you’re told!"
Heavenly Demon King Kui Gang trembled all over, hurriedly bowed, and replied, "Yes!" A sense of enlightenment rose in his heart. The Demon Ancestor did not even bother to explain; it’s confirmed, he must definitely be the Demon Ancestor’s illegitimate child in the Primordial World; otherwise, the Demon Ancestor wouldn’t care so deeply.
Inside Black Cloud Palace, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou looked at the projection before him, revealing a slight smile, and said, "Emperor Gouchen of the Heavenly Court, Bai Jin, the existence whose heavenly secrets are obscured by numerous saints, just what makes you different."
Wutian Demon King sat below on a Black Lotus, his long hair draped over his shoulders, his complexion ashen.
Demon Ancestor Luo Hou waved away the projection and looked to Wutian, saying, "Wutian, have you remembered everything?"
Wutian calmly replied, "Yes, I am Wutian of the Black Lotus!"
Demon Ancestor Luo Hou inquired, "You harbor a demon thought; what is it?"
The image of A Xiu unwittingly flashed through Wutian’s mind, and his eyes revealed bitter hatred as he gritted his teeth in anger, "I want to see Spiritual Mountain overturned, I want all Buddhas to kneel before me, I want to seek justice for both myself and for A Xiu."
Demon Ancestor Kui Gang laughed heartily, "Very good! Excellent, continue to cultivate diligently! I give you this chance."
Wutian bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Demon Lord!"
...
Boom~
Boom~
Boom~
...
Amidst the roaring of the Heavenly Tribulation, series of delicate thunder snakes descended one after another, each streak of lightning piercing through Bai Jin, the electric glow shining incessantly. Bai Jin, with her hands on her hips, stood valiantly under the Heavenly Tribulation, truly a sight of awe-inspiring bravery.
After the nine thunder snakes passed, the Thunder Eye faded and vanished, and a phantom-like Heavenly Demon approached Bai Jin.
"Ah~" The Heavenly Demon let out a shrill, agonizing scream, "So painful~, so uncomfortable, Heart and Spirit are Perfect, True Spirit without blemish, great in virtue and courage, so impressive, so impressive~"
After the Heavenly Demon’s wails, it quickly bowed to Bai Jin with three formal salutations, then turned and fled into the void.
A white column of light descended from the sky and enveloped Bai Jin within. Within the column of light, the Immortal Spirit Qi inside Bai Jin underwent a complete metamorphosis, each strand of Spiritual Energy seeming to gain life, merging with Heaven and Earth, celebrating with joy.
At this moment, even Bai Jin was stunned, "That’s it? I can understand the Heavenly Tribulation being weaker, after all, the Big Sister is the Master of the Heavenly Tribulation and one of our own, but what’s with that Heavenly Demon? We’re not even acquainted! What does Heart and Spirit are Perfect, True Spirit without blemish mean? Was I always this outstanding?"
Far away, Randeng and Guanyin Bodhisattva watched in utter dumbfoundedness, "Is this really a Heavenly Tribulation? What a joke!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva was even shaking with anger. A thousand years ago, her own tribulation was a matter of life and death, nearly falling to the Heavenly Tribulation, but now watching Bai Jin overcome the tribulation with such ease and nonchalance, it felt unfair.
In a flash, Bai Jin crossed tens of thousands of miles of space and reappeared on Fusang Island.
Randeng Buddha spoke softly, "What a fair and impartial Master of the Heavenly Tribulation."
Bai Jin, with a hearty laugh, said, "Fellow Daoist must be mistaken. I possess great Merit, protected by Heaven and Earth, naturally even the Heavenly Tribulation would lessen for me.
You just saw it yourself, even the Heavenly Demon submitted before my glory."
Pointing to the sky with righteous and forceful words, she exclaimed, "I, Bai Jin, am White Crane of Heaven, walking the world in a garb of pristine purity. Everything I do follows the will of Heaven, my Heart and Mind are Perfect, True Spirit without blemish, a Great Virtuous Great Saint." Her entire being seemed to radiate a faint light.
Randeng and Guanyin Bodhisattva felt as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed excrement. They had encountered Bai Jin during their time in the Chan School; what do terms like Heart and Mind are Perfect, True Spirit without blemish have to do with you?
You’re just a sycophant who’s not ashamed, cold on the outside but dark-hearted, utterly ruthless. This person actually managed to subdue the Heavenly Demon, and you say he is Heart and Spirit are Perfect, True Spirit without blemish? Isn’t this a huge joke? This Heavenly Demon must be blind, or perhaps it was bribed.
Bai Jin lowered her hand, speaking earnestly and sincerely, "My two Fellow Daoists, you should learn from me, to be a new-age Immortal God with thoughts, quality, and morals.
We must make a difference, beneficial to the Primordial World and to all beings. Only then can we receive the protection of Heaven and Earth, and be free from all evil.
I strongly suggest both Fellow Daoists read the Tao Te Ching more, to lift your moral cultivation."
Randeng Buddha’s face turned ugly as he said, "Guanyin Bodhisattva, let’s go!" The two figures transformed into beams of light and headed off towards the West.
Bai Jin shouted loudly, "Don’t go! I haven’t finished speaking!"
The black bird in the sky suddenly contracted and landed beside Bai Jin, transforming into Jingwei, who called out, "Master!"
Bai Jin raised her hand to ruffle Jingwei’s head, smiling as she said, "Well done!"
Jingwei twisted her head, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness. Not knowing her age for tens of thousands of years, her Master still treated her like a child. She rolled her eyes and glanced at her Master, but indeed, the Master was impressive, having even subdued the Heavenly Demon.
Below, the Hundred Schools’ Sect Leaders all stood up, leading their Disciples to bow down respectfully and said, "Greetings to the Vice Family Master!"
Bai Jin nodded slightly and said, "You’ve all done very well, you may return. The Human Clan’s Destiny shall also return with you."
"Yes!" The Hundred Schools’ Sect Leaders responded in unison, stood up to clean up the battlefield, gathered the corpses of their deceased fellow sect members, and also collected the Demon Beast bodies, before leaving on their inherited Supreme Treasures, leaving behind only a desolate island exuding a fierce and evil aura.
In front of Bai Jin, Space rippled slightly, and Zhao Gongming, Yun Xiao, Feathered Immortal, Kong Xuan, and Wuyun Immortal stepped out from the ripples.
Bai Jin asked, "This was also your first time clashing with opponents of the same realm, wasn’t it? How does it feel?"
Zhao Gongming said thoughtfully, "Indeed, the Demon Saints who survived the battle between witches and demons are very strong. When it comes to understanding the Tao, I am no match for Shangyang Demon Saint."
Wuyun Immortal laughed heartily, "My opponent was easy to deal with. That Lu Ya was too weak; I beat him until all he could do was run away."
Kong Xuan said helplessly, "My opponent was Feilian Demon Saint, he comprehended the Undying Law, and one of his Divine Skills is to self-destruct. During our battle, whenever I suppressed him, he would recklessly self-destruct, unleashing tremendous power, even my Innate Five Elements Space was broken by his self-destruction."
