Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain didn’t say anything else.
As his figure gradually disappeared in front of everyone, the cultivation exchange organized by the Everlasting Heavenly Palace almost ended.
Just as Jiang Chengxuan and the others were about to leave the Everlasting
Palace with Perfected Lord Xuan Yang and the others, the First Elder, Su
Qingchan, suddenly called out to them.
-Fellow Daoist Xuan Yang and Fellow Daoists Jiang and Shen, please wait for a
moment.”
“Huh?”
Seeing Su Qingchan stopping them, Jiang Chengxuan, Xuan Yang, and the
others all looked surprised.
Su Qingchan, with a slight smile on her face, looked at Jiang Chengxuan, Shen
Ruyan, and Xuan Yang and said, “My Shifu wishes to meet you. If the three of you have no other urgent matters to attend to, could you come with me to meet my Shifu?”
Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain wants to see us?
Jiang Chengxuan and the other two were tempted.
In the next moment, they looked at each other.
Then, Perfected Lord Xuan Yang smiled and nodded. “Since Senior Everlasting
Mountain wants to see us, we’ll naturally go. Please lead the way for us.”
Su Qingchan smiled and nodded.
Then, she brought Jiang Chengxuan and the other two to where her Shifu,
Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain, was.
In the Everlasting Hall.
This was where Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain lived, and it was also
where he used to cultivate in seclusion.
When Jiang Chengxuan and Perfected Lord Xuan Yang arrived under Su Qingchan’s lead, they realized that Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain had revealed his true appearance.
He was a rather refined-looking man.
At this moment, when he saw Jiang Chengxuan and the other two arrive, a
smile appeared on his face.
“You’re here.”
With that said, he turned to Perfected Lord Xuan Yang and suddenly said,
“Young Fellow Xuan Yang, if I’m not wrong, you’re probably going to try to break through to Soul Formation soon, right?
“What?”
Hearing Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain’s words, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Su Qingchan were all shocked.
Especially Su Qingchan.
As the first disciple of Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain, no one knew better than her how difficult it was for a Nascent Soul to break through to Soul
Formation.
At least until now, she had not grasped the slightest opportunity to advance to
Soul Formation.
It could also be said that she had no clue.
However, Perfected Lord Xuan Yang was about to break through to Soul
Formation.
However, this did not mean that he would definitely be able to break through
to Soul Formation.
However, Perfected Lord Xuan Yang was already ahead of all the Nascent Soul
cultivators.
Perfected Lord Xuan Yang clearly did not expect Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain to see through his situation. He did not hide anything and nodded.
“That’s right. If there are no accidents, I should try to break through to Soul
Formation within three years.”
These words shocked Jiang Chengxuan, Su Qingchan, and the others again.
Since Perfected Lord Xuan Yang was so sure, it seemed like he was quite
confident in doing it.
However, Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain was silent for a moment.
Then, he sighed and said,
“Have you decided?
You can put it off a little longer.
If you can wait until the end of this demonic calamity, your chances of success
will be higher.”
Perfected Lord Xuan Yang shook his head.
“That won’t be necessary.”
After a pause, Perfected Lord Xuan Yang continued,
“If I retreat because of fear, I will sever my Dao heart.
Even after the demonic calamity, my chances of success would still not be too high.
Moreover, doing that is not in line with my Dao.”
“True.”
Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain stared at Perfected Lord Xuan Yang for a
long time.
After a while.
He nodded slightly.
“If that’s the case, are you prepared for the human tribulation?
It was different from breaking through to Golden Core and Nascent Soul.
To advance to Soul Formation, the calamity he had to experience was not the Heavenly Tribulation, but the Human Tribulation.
At that time, anyone who has a grudge against you and is still alive will immediately notice that you are about to break through to Soul Formation.
Just like debtors, they would come after him to collect the debt.
As long as they appeared, it would trigger all kinds of negative emotions in your heart.
Guilt, regret, fear, self-blame, and so on.
If you can overcome these emotions, the inner demon will be eliminated.
If you can’t or even sink deeper into these emotions, the inner demon will grow stronger.
It will devour your entire body and mind, ruining your hundreds or thousands
of years of cultivation.
In fact, your body and soul will be destroyed and you will never reincarnate!
And this is only one of the human tribulations.
Other than those who once had a grudge against you, there will naturally be many people in this world who don’t want to see you reach Soul Formation, including the demon beasts.
Moreover, you will have almost no ability to resist their attacks.
Therefore, in order to successfully pass the Human Tribulation and become a Heavenly Lord, a guardian was indispensable.
This was also the main reason why most cultivators had a Dao companion.
Without the protection and help of fellow Daoists, there were very, very few people who could walk the path alone and achieve great success in the end. Perfected Lord Xuan Yang could not help but nod when he heard Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain’s words.
“I should be 90% confident in the first wave of human tribulation.
On the other hand, for the second wave of the human tribulation, I might need the help of Senior Everlasting Mountain, Ziyan, and the other seniors.
At that time, I hope you can help me.
When I reach Soul Formation, I will definitely do my best to resist the demonic tribulation with Senior and the others.
At the same time, I will definitely not forget your kindness.”
At the end, Perfected Lord Xuan Yang bowed to Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain with an extremely serious expression.
When Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain saw this, he smiled kindly.
“Young Fellow Xuan Yang, there’s no need to be so polite.
As Heavenly Lords of the human race, we naturally have the obligation to help you.
After all, if you can become a Heavenly Lord, it will be a good thing for me and Fellow Daoist Purple Flame.
At the very least, it will relieve us of a lot of burden.
At the same time, helping you is also helping our human race.
I only hope that after you reach Soul Formation, you won’t forget your identity as a human. In the future, if you encounter juniors who have the chance to advance to Soul Formation, you can provide them with some protection like us.
That’s enough.”
“Yes, I will remember your instructions!”
“Good!”
Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain smiled and nodded.
As he spoke, his gaze landed on Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
“I see that your foundation is not bad. In the future, you might be able to make an attempt at the Soul Formation Realm. Therefore, I called you here to form a good relationship with you in advance.”
Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain waved his hand.
Two white jade talismans appeared in front of them.
“These two talismans are called the Everlasting Jade Talisman. They can help you resist a Soul Formation attack.
When you return, you only need to refine this talisman. When you are in dire danger, this talisman will automatically protect its owner.”
This scene once again shocked Su Qingchan.
It was not too shocking that Perfected Lord Xuan Yang could break through to Soul Formation.
She didn’t expect Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to have the potential to reach Soul Formation in her Shifu’s eyes.
This was really…
While Su Qingchan was secretly shocked, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had already recovered from their senses.
Without any hesitation, the couple immediately bowed and thanked Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain.
“Thank you for the treasure, Senior Changshan!”
However, Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain smiled and waved his hand.
“Don’t stand on ceremony with me.
You only need to cultivate well. If you have a chance of reaching Soul Formation in the future, don’t forget to protect your people..”
