Chapter 906: Responding to the Tribulation (Next)

The place where Xu Chuniang lived was turned into a ruin by the aftermath of the fight between the Conjugation Stage Daemons.

As she came out of her long solitude, she would have to face this certain crisis of death with her aging body.

Xu Chuniang laughed lowly and directly withdrew her divine sense, returning to the solitude again.

Her reaction could not be described as swift, and in just three breaths of work, she realized that the fifth calamity had already descended.

Everything that the divine sense had “seen” was merely an illusion that the tribulation wanted her to see.

When she was at the stage of transition, she personally set up the formation, unless a strong person at the level of the Demon Emperor arrived, it was impossible to be cracked.

And how could it be reduced to rubble just because of the aftermath of a fight between two Harmonization Stage cultivators?
Shortly after withdrawing her divine sense, Xu Chuniang’s eyes, regained their brightness.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the roof beams.

She was still in the same mansion she had been in during her earlier seclusion, and right now, she was lying on the bed, maintaining the same position she had been in before she lost her sight.

Even the furnishings in the house were the same as before, no different.

Xu Chuniang snorted lightly and closed her eyes again.

Divine sense could be faked, and the sights that the eyes could see could naturally be faked as well.

All the damage that the body suffered in each round of the tribulation was irreversible.

Unless the round of tribulation was completed, one could not recover successfully.

Her eyes were blinded during the fourth tribulation, so naturally, it was impossible for her to suddenly recover.

Everything she saw in front of her eyes was no more real than what the illusion wanted to present to her.

Shortly after her “restoration of sight”, Xu Chuniang heard voices and smelled odors again, but she always refrained from hearing or listening to them, treating them as if nothing had happened.

The fifth round of tribulation lasted for three months and then disappeared unwillingly.

Xu Chuniang lay on the bed, did not move, her body is old and weak, but there is a kind of immovable as a mountain of tenacity.

She had a strong enough dao heart to be able to face the arrival of a new calamity at any time.

However, she had waited for a long, long time, but the sixth round of tribulation was slow to arrive.

The previous five rounds of tribulations came one after the other, barely giving Xu Chuniang a chance to catch her breath, changing ways to weaken her strength and shake her heart.

Judging from this, the sixth round of tribulation shouldn’t be late.

However, Xu Chuniang waited in her room for day after day, year after year, but the sixth round of tribulation still hadn’t arrived.

This feeling of being in limbo was the most torturous.

When the knife fell, it wasn’t the most frightening.

What’s scary is that you have no idea when the knife will suddenly fall.

It may be the next moment, or it may be hundreds or thousands of years from now.

It had to be said that initially, Xu Chuniang’s heart and mind were indeed tugged by this difficult wait.

In the midst of this waiting day after day, a strand of boredom and agitation arose in the bottom of her heart.

She hated that the Sixth Tribulation would immediately descend, rather than continuing to endlessly keep her waiting.

However, after realizing that her state of mind had been affected, Xu Chuniang quickly reacted to the fact that the Sixth Tribulation had, most likely, already descended years ago.

This sense of suffocation and oppression that hung in the balance, along with the boredom and agitation that had vaguely arisen in the bottom of her heart, wasn’t it precisely what the Sixth Reckoning had brought about?

After reacting, Xu Chuniang quickly organized her state of mind, regaining the state of ancient wells and clarity that she had at the beginning.

The Dao Mind was all things, and she remained immovable despite the winds and storms of the outside world.

After this, no matter how much she waited, she no longer affected her state of mind as a result.

At this point, the sixth calamity, which seemed to have no crisis but was actually growing in the dark, was also successfully passed.

There was only one last calamity left before the end of the first round of tribulations.

After realizing this, Xu Chuniang didn’t have much excitement. As early as the fourth tribulation, she had begun to collect her emotions in order to stave off the long loneliness.

Happiness, anger, sadness, joy, and fear and aversion were all infinitely astringent and close to nothing by her.

She would not mourn because of the decrease in her cultivation, or the aging of her body, nor would she rejoice because she was about to successfully pass the first round of tribulation.

Xu Chuniang was as calm and quiet as a true ancient well, without waves or fluctuations.

Even if the Demon Realm were to crumble to pieces in front of her, and hundreds of millions of living beings were to face extinction, she would only quietly watch them die in despair ……

No, this is not right.

Xu Chuniang suddenly felt that if the Demon Realm really fell apart in front of her, there was no way she would be so calm.

If she was a demon body, she would probably be excited and try to plunder all the resources she could to strengthen herself.

If she was the original body, she would probably be emotional, mixed with a little bit of pity.

These billions of living beings were so weak that they could not dominate their own lives and deaths, and could only annihilate along with the torrent of heaven and earth.

Regardless of whether it was the devil body or the main body, regardless of whether it was excitement or emotion or pity, in short, in front of such a great event as the collapse of the realm, it was impossible for her to be completely indifferent!

Therefore, her emotions at this moment were not quite right.

Waking up to this, Xu Chuniang understood that the Seventh Tribulation had taken away her emotions.

During the long period of solitude, she had collected her emotions, but collection did not express erasure.

It was impossible for her, to lose all her joys and sorrows and fears and aversions.

The only thing that could do that was a calamity.

Xu Chuniang couldn’t help but tug at her lips, a hint of a smile on her aged face.

This was only the first round of tribulation, and she had already been hit several times, and it was fortunate that she had reacted quickly enough to notice what was wrong in time.

Following her loss of her profound cultivation, her strong body, her five senses, and her divine sense, she had actually lost her emotions.

This tribulation at the Transition Stage was truly pervasive and extremely difficult to cope with.

One didn’t know how the others, exactly, had managed to survive these seven rounds of tribulation.
What Xu Chuniang didn’t know was that the stronger the strength, the harder the tribulation induced would be to cope with.

On the contrary, it was easier for cultivators who were slightly weaker to pass through the forty-nine rounds of tribulations.

She was a dual-cultivator of spirit and devil, and her body and devil body both possessed the cultivation level of the Great Perfection of the Harmonization Stage before advancing to the Transitional Succession Stage.

Her understanding of the Laws was far beyond that of normal people.

It was because of these various reasons that when Xu Chuniang underwent her tribulation, she experienced tribulations that ordinary people couldn’t cope with.

The difficulty of the tribulation was naturally extraordinary.

After realizing that her emotions had been stripped away, Xu Chunniang began to try to recall the respective personalities of her own body and her demonic body.

The main body was calm and measured, while the demonic body was capricious and jumpy.

The original body promoted good, while the demonic body punished evil.

One cultivates Taoism and the other cultivates magic, almost two extremes, and their personalities are also polarized.

However, when examined in detail, there are many similarities between this body and the demon body.

For example, they were equally in pursuit of great power, and in order to become strong, they were able to endure a lot of pain and loneliness that normal people couldn’t endure.

They both have a strong confidence in themselves, believing that they will definitely be able to achieve immortality.

The instants lived in the Laws, comprehending the Laws and making good use of them.

The demonic body, on the other hand, seemed to be born as if it was used to ignoring the laws, always thinking of breaking them.

But whether it was the main body or the demon body, whether it was good or evil, it was still her.

At that thought, Xu Chuniang’s heart stirred, and she snapped her eyes open, realizing that her lost emotions had returned.
