C15 Receive the Tribulation
By suffering tribulations and pain, the true soul in the body is disturbed, thereby increasing the capacity of the true soul.
When facing a tribulation, one would often need the help of a tribulation formation. A True Soul with different attributes and a Spiritual Force of different levels would often have to set up a different formation when facing a tribulation.
At this moment, Yunyue and her aunt had arrived at the highest point of Renqi Mountain. There were no trees to hide, only a huge green stone slab was placed on top of it. The sunlight shone down and illuminated the green stone slab.
On the green stone slab, there were all kinds of drawings, as if they were painted with some spices. Yunyue could faintly smell the fragrance.
This was a wood-type First Order Soul Reasoning Formation. It was obtained from Xiahou Bi's painstaking efforts. Although the array formation was simple, the spices used in it were hard to come by. That spice was extracted from 120 types of herbs by Xiahou Bi. This took her a full year's time.
Yunyue sat on the green stone and looked around. It was very fresh.
"Aunt, can we start now?"
Aunt nodded and was just about to start when she remembered something. She held Yunyue's shoulder and said, "Yue, before you get robbed, Aunt has something to tell you."
Yunyue pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
"Yue, the process of getting robbed may be very painful, but you must hold on. You must not have any thoughts of giving up. Do you understand?"
"I understand, but... What if I can't hold on?"
"Can't hold on? Then you will lose the level ten Spiritual Force in your True Soul. You will have to start from scratch."
"Ah? It's that serious."
"Of course. Some people need to spend more than ten years to advance to the first tier of the Spiritual Force. This is the reason why their hearts are not firm enough, and they often fail when facing tribulations."
Yunyue felt weak in her heart and did not feel sweat seeping out.
"But Yue, you don't have to worry too much. To a peak soul cultivator, this advancement is still very simple."
"Alright! Aunty, then I... I'll try my best!" Yunyue had already made up her mind.
Aunt nodded.
Yunyue sat up straight and closed her eyes, trying her best to calm herself down.
Aunt took two steps back, opened her hands, and put them in front of her chest. She suddenly opened them again and pointed at the green stone slab. Suddenly, smoke rose from the green stone slab, as if it was a fairyland.
The smoke was milky white, like flowing water. It also looked like a white muslin. It was covered with patterns, and it was breathtakingly beautiful.
The white smoke gradually increased, but it did not dissipate. They gathered around Yunyue, forming a white lotus that quietly bloomed.
Yunyue smelled the fragrance and unconsciously entered the dream.
The scene in the dream was not beautiful...
In the endless darkness, Yunyue was tied to a wooden pole. She wanted to struggle, but her whole body could not move.
Not far away, Yunyue saw a raging fire. That fire was like a wild horse running wildly, burning towards her.
She struggled, but her body still did not listen to her orders.
"Help, help! Aunty, Aunty..."
At this moment, a woman in black appeared in the air. The woman looked exactly the same as him.
She said, "Yunyue, if you want to give up, just squeak."
Immediately after, another woman in white appeared in front of him. Her appearance was also not the same as his.
She said, "Yunyue, you cannot give up. Have you forgotten what your aunt told you? You should bear the torture of fire. If you give up, you will fail your advancement. "
" Yunyue, if you don't give up, you will be burned to death by the fire. When you were young, you cried out in pain when you were scalded by hot water. Now, you will be burned by the fire. How painful will that be?!"
"Yunyue, don't believe her. Did you forget what you promised your aunt? Have you forgotten to blame your uncle? If they help you wholeheartedly, do you want to disappoint them? Yunyue, don't forget why you came here. Have you forgotten the humiliation you suffered in the Palace? Do you want to be a weakling for the rest of your life? "
...
Yunyue knew that these were all her inner demons.
"I will not give up, I will never give up! Isn't it just a raging fire? Come on, I am not afraid!"
The raging fire approached Yunyue and her clothes were ignited. Gradually, her body was also engulfed by the raging fire.
Yunyue could only watch helplessly as all of this happened. Her body was in unbearable pain. She screamed and tore until her voice became hoarse and her consciousness gradually became blurry.
"I will not give up, I will not give up!"
At this time, her last sentence was finished. Yunyue closed her eyes and fainted.
...
But when Yunyue opened her eyes again, she found that she was still sitting on the green stone slab. There was smoke around her and her aunt was beside her.
"Aunt, what is this?"
"Congratulations, Yue. You have advanced."
"Advanced? Really? I really succeeded? "
Yunyue was so excited that she almost jumped up. Advancing to Tier 1 Spiritual Force, even she did not dare to believe it. Wasn't it just the torture of raging fire? It wasn't that hard either!
"Indeed! Yue, you did very well. In two years, advancing to Tier 1 Spiritual Force, you are the fastest spirit cultivator I have ever seen. The one who suffered the shortest tribulation. Although this is related to your soul, there is no firm will. It won't work either."
Yunyue stuck out her tongue and proudly asked, "Aunt, how many years did Sha use to advance to Tier 1?"
"Sha took eight years." Aunt shook her head and was very disappointed.
Yunyue knew that Beichen Sha was not talented. But she also did not expect him to be so disappointing. Advancing to the first rank took eight years.
Aunt said that the cultivation of the Spiritual Force was getting harder and harder. If one took eight years to advance to the first step, then the second step would take sixteen years. With Beichen Sha's speed, even if he spent his entire life, he still wouldn't be able to break through to the fourth step. This didn't include the fact that he had failed the tribulation.
Aunt only had one son, no wonder she was so disappointed! Sigh...
"Aunt, it's alright. Although Sha's talent was not good, he was very hardworking. He never gave up and never gave up. I think as long as he keeps working hard, there will be a day when he succeeds."
"I hope so!" His aunt said, forcing a smile.
"Yue, do you think that tribulation is still alright?"
"It's fine, it's fine! However, aunt, this tribulation is really hard to endure! Advancing to Tier 1 Spiritual Force, I'm already in so much pain that I'm about to die. Won't I die from the pain when I reach Tier 3? "
Aunt smiled and said," How can it be that easy to cultivate the spirit? It can prolong one's life and stay young forever. It can sweep across the world and become a person above all. Since that's the case, you must suffer and be tired. Yue, since you have chosen this path, you should firmly continue on. Don't think about other things and hesitate to advance!"
" Yue understands! However, aunt, is there no other way to advance?"
"Of course there is."
"What way?" Su Zhixing asked.
Yunyue became alert. No matter what method it was, it was better than enduring the endless pain that might not succeed!
