"Therefore, we will help you eliminate any potential external influences so that it has no ans but to rely on the Tribulation Thunder to test you."
"As for the Tribulation Thunder, there is not much we can help you with."
"The Tribulation Thunder can't do anything to . Whether it's ninety-nine or ninety-nine tis nine, it's all the sa," Lu Qingshan said calmly.
"That's good."
"First of all, the location for the Tribulation Crossing must not be in the Sky Do Heaven, because the Sky Do Heaven is its ho ground.
Fighting on the ho ground always has so conveniences. It might even violate certain rules," Qi Butian explained.
Lu Qingshan understood, like the infamous black whistles of a certain kimchi country back in the day.
"This is also why we want you to co to Heavenly River City when you cross the tribulation."
"You're saying?" Lu Qingshan had already grasped the aning of Qi Butian's words, looking towards the vast sea outside Heavenly River City.
"Yes, you guessed it right, crossing in the Heavenly River Sea."
Indeed, if the tribulation crossing location is not chosen in the Sky Do Heaven, where else could it be but the Heavenly River Sea, which serves as the Boundary Sea?
Surely it couldn't be like crossing the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations in the Abyss?
"As for the specific location for the Tribulation Crossing, I have already selected it for you. It's a forbidden place I discovered long ago in the Heavenly River Sea, capable of isolating any celestial chanisms and fortunes. Even if your Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is magnificent, it won't leak out a bit of movent to the outside world."
"Currently, only I and he know about this location, and when the ti cos, he will personally take you to that forbidden place," Qi Butian pointed to Chu Mu.
"At the sa ti, he will also protect you. Even if unexpected changes really occur, he can clear them for you."
.....
A faint lamp flickered.
A bronze base, a dark iron lamp body, and ghost fire emitting black light, flickering unsteadily.
Within the ghost fire, seven star-like points of light shone brightly.
Before the ancient lamp, a four-eyed, four-ard, extrely ugly incarnation of Luohu stood quietly, forming a mysterious Taoist Seal in his hands, with all four eyes fixed on the ancient lamp as if there was a great secret within.
After a long ti, the ancient lamp extinguished.
In the Northern Barbarian Royal City, in the military room, all six of the Northern Barbarian Venerables were present.
"You're here," the Evil Venerable casually greeted Luo Qiantuo as he pushed open the door and walked in, "King Luohu, there's no need to hurry. In half a month's ti, our Northern Wilderness Clan can officially dispatch troops to Heavenly River City."
"I'm not in a hurry," Luo Qiantuo shook his head, sitting in an empty chair, playing with a black chess piece in his hand, "Today, I'm here to inform you of so significant news."
"Significant news?" the Evil Venerable raised an eyebrow, knowing that sothing called significant by Luo Qiantuo was certainly no trivial matter.
"Lu Qingshan is going to cross the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, with Chu Mu personally protecting him," Luo Qiantuo said straightforwardly, disdaining any pretenses.
As soon as he spoke, everyone held their breath, montarily at a loss for words.
At this mont, all the Venerables present showed different expressions, their minds unable to calm, each with varied reactions.
"Heh, truly remarkable. So young and already attempting an unprecedented Ninth Tribulation Realm. Is he really prepared for this? He probably lacks the foundation and is highly likely to fail," the Sovereign chuckled, whether mocking or genuinely praising was unclear.
They knew in their hearts that Lu Qingshan made this choice due to the pressure they exerted.
The second War of Tao and Demon was about to break out, and this young Sect Master had no ti left.
"He has achieved the impossible so many tis on his journey. I believe he has a high probability of succeeding in this tribulation," the Evil Venerable, who had once t Lu Qingshan, said.
Having fought Lu Qingshan, he understood more than anyone the extraordinary nature of this young Sect Master.
"This person is indeed ferociously terrifying. To challenge the Ninth Tribulation Realm at such a young age, cultivation progressing so rapidly—I've never seen or heard of anyone like this before," Vast Venerable remarked with a fair evaluation.
Everyone present was an outstanding Demon Venerable, yet after hearing this news from Luo Qiantuo, they were still shocked and astonished.
At less than fifty years of age, can a cultivator truly reach this stage?
"Should Lu Qingshan succeed in this trial, it would an that the Human Race might have an unprecedented Ninth Tribulations Sword Immortal in the future.
By then, he and Chu Mu, one being a Demi-Ancestor Realm Sword Immortal, the other a Ninth Tribulations Sword Immortal, would be enough to be called the twin pillars of the Human Race, possibly even shattering the current balance," Yu Venerable's face was exceptionally grim, his vision extending further than others.
This concern was not unfounded.
Because even before becoming a Sword Immortal, Lu Qingshan could already slay top-tier Demon Venerables like Ming Venerable and Luo Qiantuo. What does achieving the Sword Immortal at the Ninth Tribulation Realm entail?
Perhaps even without becoming a Sword Immortal, rely having the Ninth Tribulation Realm cultivation would suffice to overlook all Venerables.
This is unimaginable.
"Whether he succeeds or not doesn't concern . Even if he does, he's still just a Ninth Tribulation Realm Sword Cultivator. To , he's insignificant," Luo Qiantuo looked at everyone, "What I care about is that this attempt by Lu Qingshan is a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity for our Demon Race."
"Hmm? What do you an by this?" Evil Venerable frowned and asked.
Luo Qiantuo played with the black chess piece in his hand, "Chu Mu, the Sea Calming Divine Needle of the Human Race, a Demi-Ancestor level cultivator, and the highest combat power in Sky Do Heaven. Even if all six of you are combined, you'd barely withstand him."
"As long as this Heavenly River Sword Immortal lives, victory in the War of Tao and Demon is impossible for us."
"To win this war, he must die."
"Easier said than done. Facing a Demi-Ancestor level Heavenly River Sword Immortal, even if we join forces, how do we kill him?"
"Six isn't enough, then add more," Luo Qiantuo's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "In the na of the Northern Barbarian and Asura Clan, invite other Holy Demon Clans to join forces and kill the Heavenly River Sword Immortal."
"The six aren't enough, but with and other Demon Venerables from the Holy Demon Clans, it surely will be."
Upon hearing this, the six Northern Barbarian Demon Venerables unwittingly pondered the feasibility of this proposal and the potential challenges in its execution.
"That Chu Mu isn't a fool. Seeing so many of us, he could easily stay inside Heavenly River City, relying on the Heavenly River Great Formation to face us."
"With the Heavenly River Sword Immortal and the Heavenly River Great Formation combined, even if the tribes join forces, what can we do?" the Sovereign pointed out the flaw and questioned.
"Lu Qingshan's location for crossing is in the Heavenly River Sea." Luo Qiantuo responded leisurely, dismissing the Sovereign's concern.
His words dispelled all doubts.
"Is this information reliable? How did you co to know this?" The Sovereign jumped up from his seat in shock, exclaiming.
Such crucial information, even among the Human Race, likely fewer than a handful of people are aware of. So where did Luo Qiantuo obtain this information from?
Luo Qiantuo rely continued to toy with the chess piece in his hand, without answering.
....
In Sky Do Heaven, within the Central Spirit Domain, a hidden Cold Lake of unfathomable depths.
The smooth as mirror water surface suddenly rippled, expanding into a persistent vortex as if so terrifying entity was breaking through the lake.
Monts later,
one thing indeed broke the water's surface.
Dragon raises its head!
It stared intensely into the distance,
its eyes containing sun and moon, shimring with golden hues.
"Finally, finally.... it's about to begin."
Although the start ca much earlier than it anticipated, a feeling of "finally eting you" still welled in its heart.
The seeds sown for so many years are finally about to bear fruit.
Grass snakes and ashes, hidden veins stretch thousands of miles.
