After returning to the real world, Xu Wendong went directly to the Immortal Palace of the Female Emperor in Shangqing Country, where he t Fei Yan, Hongying, and Zi Yan, who were admiring flowers and sipping tea with the Female Emperor.
When they saw Xu Wendong appear, they were overjoyed.
If it weren’t for the presence of the Female Emperor.
They would have surely rushed into Xu Wendong’s embrace, expressing the bitterness of missing him during this ti!
"It seems you’ve accomplished your goal!" The Female Emperor smiled charmingly.
Xu Wendong nodded slightly, "Now we can prepare for the tribulation."
Once they heard Xu Wendong was going to face the tribulation, Fei Yan and the others imdiately showed signs of unease, even though undergoing a tribulation is sothing every cultivator must experience.
But they also knew that the more astonishing one’s talent is, the more terrifying the power of the Heavenly Tribulation would be.
They were uncertain whether Xu Wendong could succeed.
The Female Emperor waved her right hand, and a vast and boundless map of mountains and rivers appeared in the air, showcasing a map of the entire Human Realm, marked with several large uninhabited areas.
The Female Emperor spoke softly: "You can choose a suitable location."
Xu Wendong shared his opinion: "I plan to go to Chaotic Star Sea, find a secluded islet to avoid attracting attention during the tribulation, so I can devote myself entirely to it!"
Perhaps because this was his first tribulation.
Xu Wendong was filled with an unknown fear and unease.
He always felt like sothing significant was about to happen.
Because of this, he decided to find a secluded island to undergo the tribulation.
The Female Emperor shook her head with a smile: "It’s useless, your tribulation is destined to attract attention; cultivators across the Cultivation World will sense it wherever you go."
"Instead of hiding, it’s better to be open about it."
"Let people see — hope!"
"Hope?"
Those simple words made Xu Wendong show a complex expression.
Though the word ’hope’ is simple,
Sotis, it is like a lighthouse in the darkness.
Guiding people to find the direction to move forward.
But...
Bearing this hope, he felt imnse pressure!
Because he must succeed and cannot fail!
"Since that’s the case, let the tribulation location be set at Phoenix Mountain, twenty thousand miles away!" Xu Wendong set his target on a mountain range resembling a Phoenix, miles away.
Phoenix Mountain is located at the border between Shangqing Country and Liyang Country, surrounded by mountains, and even on the map, Xu Wendong could see a spirit vein below.
The Female Emperor asked with concern, "What do you need to do for you?"
Xu Wendong hesitated for a mont and said, "I need to break the Lock Heaven Great Formation."
The Female Emperor’s expression changed slightly: "I can agree to other things, but breaking the Lock Heaven Great Formation... the ti isn’t right."
She was well aware of the intense hatred the Demon Race held towards the Human Race.
If Xu Wendong breaks the Lock Heaven Great Formation before the tribulation, the Demon Race will undoubtedly lead an army into the Human Realm, and given the Demon Race’s numbers, the Human Race simply can’t resist.
The result would be rivers of blood and heavy casualties.
Xu Wendong said in an indisputable tone, "This matter is not up for discussion, I must break the Lock Heaven Great Formation before undergoing the tribulation!"
Before leaving the Demon Realm, Xu Wendong promised the strong ones there that he would break the Lock Heaven Great Formation to help them regain their freedom.
This was his promise.
Even if he failed this tribulation, at least he would fulfill his promise to the strong ones of the Demon Realm.
Furthermore,
He needed to break the Lock Heaven Great Formation to gain the Demon Race’s power of belief.
This was also crucial for safely passing through the Heavenly Tribulation.
And most importantly,
The success or failure of his tribulation would determine if the Human and Demon Races could coexist peacefully.
He needed this imnse pressure to drive himself.
To overco the Heavenly Tribulation.
He wanted to turn the pressure into a magical treasure to guarantee his success over the tribulation!
"I can discuss this matter with the other Human Emperors..." The Female Emperor hadn’t finished speaking when she saw Xu Wendong already flying out of her Immortal Mansion.
The next mont, he appeared like a phantom above the Imperial City of Shangqing Country.
Then!
He activated his terrifying vital energy within.
In an instant.
The sky behind him was tinted blood-red, with demonic beasts of various shapes and ferocious looks visible in the blood clouds, filling the void and emitting an almost suffocating aura.
Not only did it make the void tremble, but it also caused the people in the city to feel a strong sense of oppression.
With fearful eyes, they looked towards the direction of the Imperial Palace.
They couldn’t believe anyone dared to unleash such a powerful spell above the palace.
This was clearly defying royal authority!
As Xu Wendong punched towards the palace before him, he clearly felt a chilling killing intent emanating from the Imperial City below.
Though he possessed the strength to rival a Ninth-Level Scatter Immortal, making him a supre expert in the entire Cultivation World, he was not invincible.
There were people in this palace capable of defeating him, even killing him!
At the sa ti.
The Emperor of Shangqing Country, Li Daoshan, appeared ghostly in the air, wearing a shallow smile: "Young Master Xu, I know your thoughts, but... the Lock Heaven Great Formation cannot be broken now!"
Xu Wendong: "The Demon Race has been trapped for tens of thousands of years; it’s ti to return their freedom."
Li Daoshan asked calmly, "Have you thought about what situation the Human and Demon Races would face if you failed the tribulation?"
Xu Wendong: "If the prophecy is true, I won’t fail!"
Li Daoshan had no words to counter.
He realized that not only was Xu Wendong unmatched in combat strength, he was also skilled in debate.
Indeed!
If he truly was the person in the prophecy, he wouldn’t fail.
Because he would lead everyone, from the Ancient Immortal Secret Realm, directly into the Immortal Realm.
"Royal brother, let Young Master Xu proceed; I do want to see if he can break the Lock Heaven Great Formation!"
From the palace below ca an excited voice belonging to the State Preceptor Li Dao Qi.
Li Daoshan imdiately ordered all palace residents to evacuate the palace.
And he, along with the other six Human Emperors and the Female Emperor who arrived after hearing the news, hovered in mid-air, awaiting the upcoming events!
They did not deny that Xu Wendong’s achievents in formations were unparalleled in history, but the Lock Heaven Great Formation was an extrely complex and profound formation.
Arranged by eight powerful Ninth-Level Scatter Immortals, each guarding one of the Eight Countries, channeling the Power of the Nation’s Fate into it, not to ntion ordinary people.
Even immortals found it difficult to break.
"Seniors, forgive !"
Xu Wendong shouted softly and punched out.
In an instant.
Those demonic beasts behind him seemingly ca to life, falling like a teor shower towards the palace below.
And as the shadows of those beasts were about to reach the palace, a brilliant glow burst forth from the palace, followed by a gigantic rune soaring into the sky, blocking Xu Wendong’s earth-shattering attack.
Even though the demonic beasts landed on the rune, they couldn’t break through it!
Li Dao Qi’s voice slowly rang out, "Young Master Xu, your talent is exceptional, shining throughout history, but how could the Lock Heaven Great Formation be as simple as you imagine?"
