265: The second peak of the ninth level of the Tribulation Realm

Finally!

To everyone's extreme astonishment, the terrifying Lightning Tribulation fiercely struck Feng Zixian, sparing Ao Jingtain.

Feng Zixian was indeed well-prepared. Her physical strength had increased to the Peak Realm of the Tenth Stage Mortal Vessel Body Realm. Facing the relentless bombardment of the Lightning Tribulation, she showed no fear. Moreover, with the support of pure, top-tier energy and the frantic operation of the Phoenix God Scripture, she directly used the Lightning Tribulation for Body Tempering and Broke Through to the Second Stage Immortal Treasure Body Realm.

The higher a Cultivator's Realm, the more they understand the benefits of having a physical strength that surpasses their Cultivation Realm.

That is, when facing being struck by lightning, they appear very calm and composed.

Especially with successive Breakthroughs, the body can withstand the impact of the sudden surge in power brought by the Cultivation Realm's rapid increase.

If a Cultivator whose physical strength is lower than their Cultivation Realm experiences successive Breakthroughs, not only will their Cultivation be unstable, but their Martial Dao Foundation could also be destroyed.

Feng Zixian, at the Ninth Revolution Peak of the Mahayana Realm, had her physical strength increased to the Peak Realm of the Tenth Stage Mortal Vessel Body Realm. At this point, she could even follow Long Aotian's example and make nine consecutive minor Breakthroughs to reach the Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ninth Revolution Peak Stage.

This was the composure and confidence that her sufficiently strong physical body gave her!

It is worth mentioning:

The Phoenix God Scripture!

This is an extremely dominant Cultivation Technique that is inherent to the Phoenix Undying Emperor Body.

In her previous life, the reason Feng Zixian was able to soar through the Nine Heavens like a Phoenix and become the overlord of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm was largely due to this Heaven-Defying Cultivation Technique.

Under the operation of the Phoenix God Scripture, she frantically devoured, refined, and absorbed the top-tier resources of the Lower Realm, and her Cultivation soared rapidly.

She went through the First Revolution, Second Revolution, Third Revolution, Fourth Revolution, and Fifth Revolution of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. It was only when she Broke Through to the Sixth Revolution that the momentum of her Breakthrough began to wane slightly.

However, Long Aotian, seeing the situation, directly threw a pile of Immortal Crystals at Feng Zixian, a move that greatly astonished Feng Zixian.

In her previous life, she was a lofty Peak Immortal Emperor expert. How familiar was she with Immortal Crystals?

The moment she saw the Immortal Crystals, she was so excited that she was practically speechless.

These were Immortal Rank Cultivation resources that were basically impossible to appear in the Lower Realm!

In some Secret Realms in the Lower Realm, some Spirit Medicine might, after a long period of time, evolve into celestial-grade spirit herbs, but Immortal Crystals were non-existent.

This was restricted by the Immortal Realm Plane rules, and the Lower Realm Heavenly Dao was like an enforcer of the Immortal Realm Plane rules.

The Immortal Realm Plane rules prohibit Immortal Realm experts from forcefully descending to the Lower Realm, and the Lower Realm Heavenly Dao is endowed with the strongest power, comparable to a quasi-Divine Soldier Realm expert in the Immortal Realm, to enforce these rules and regulations.

Similarly, the Divine Realm Plane rules prohibit Divine Realm experts from forcefully descending to the Immortal Realm, and the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao is also endowed with the Peak power of the Divine Realm to enforce the rules.

The Heavenly Dao is orderly, with layers of management.

When the Lower Realm Heavenly Dao senses an Immortal Realm expert descending, it will mercilessly attack. If they do not retreat, they will be annihilated. Even a general Peak Immortal Emperor forcefully descending to the Lower Realm is quite wary of the Lower Realm's Heavenly Dao.

Of course, there are also special cases of forceful descent, such as using World Rule Talismans to seal one's Cultivation before descending. As long as the power is not unsealed, they will not be annihilated or expelled by the Heavenly Dao.

It can be said that the World Rule Talisman is like an imperial decree issued by the Immortal Realm Plane rules, the emperor. The Immortal Realm allowing such things to appear proves that its existence is recognized by the imperial seal. Seeing the talisman is like the emperor himself being present. As long as the power is not unsealed, they will turn a blind eye and not strike, otherwise it would be a blasphemy against the Immortal Realm Plane rules, the emperor.

There is another situation, which is the descent of experts higher than the Immortal Realm Plane, meaning experts from the Divine Realm and Planes above the Divine Realm. They are not subject to the Lower Realm Heavenly Dao's jurisdiction.

This is like a provincial official inspecting a local area, usually accompanied by Earth-Grade leaders. The further down they go, to the county or even town level, how can Earth-Grade leaders endure this?

When Divine Realm experts descend to the Lower Realm, the Lower Realm Heavenly Dao does not need to intercept them and is incapable of doing so. It only needs to represent the Immortal Realm Plane rules and give a distant warning, or simply cower and ignore everything. The Immortal Realm Plane rules will automatically exert pressure from the Immortal Realm Plane, forcing the higher-Plane experts to leave as soon as possible.

If the Lower Realm Heavenly Dao acts foolishly and dares to attack a Divine Realm expert, who is higher than the Immortal Realm Plane, then this foolish Heavenly Dao will suffer greatly.

For example, the Heavenly Dao of the Sky Ruins Continent was a foolish Heavenly Dao. It sensed the sudden intrusion of Ao Zhan and others, whose power exceeded the limits of the Lower Realm, and then treated Ao Zhan and them as Immortal Realm experts to be expelled, attacking them with lightning without a word.

Although its initial strike could at most not reach the Peak strike of a Divine Soldier Realm expert, only tickling Ao Zhan, such disrespect and blindness led to Ao Zhan nearly crippling it with a casual punch.

So much so that later, Ao Zhan couldn't find this foolish Heavenly Dao, cutting off his path back.

After a million years of licking its own wounds, this foolish Lower Realm Heavenly Dao seemed to be out and about again, but this time it had learned its lesson. It dared not strike Ao Jingtain. Even the mere presence of a Divine Shadow of Ao Zhan was a huge deterrent to it.

Ao Jingtain did not know how much psychological trauma her Imperial Father's casual punch had caused to this ethereal Heavenly Dao of the Lower Realm, one of the enforcers of the Immortal Realm Plane rules.

Of course, even without Ao Zhan's Divine Shadow to hold the fort, the Heavenly Dao, which had hovered for a long time, would not dare to truly let the Lightning Tribulation strike, because it could feel the terrifying energy fluctuations on Ao Jingtain's body. That was power that had already far surpassed the Immortal Realm, power it could not afford to provoke.

Returning to Feng Zixian, in her previous life, when she descended to the Lower Realm to set up her Reincarnation and future plans, she had considered leaving some Immortal Realm Cultivation resources.

However, she then thought that if she entered the Immortal Realm through the Ascension Passage with Magical Artifacts, Storage Rings, and other Cultivation resources, they would be stripped away by the Lower Realm Heavenly Dao, that miser, within the Ascension Passage.

Therefore, the idea of leaving Immortal Realm Cultivation resources in the Lower Realm was not a wise move. Leaving them would mean she couldn't take them up, and Immortal Realm Cultivation resources could only barely be utilized by Cultivators who reached the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. It was better to directly use top-tier Lower Realm resources to Cultivate and then use Immortal Realm resources after Ascending to Immortality.

However, she never expected that the Lower Realm Continent would not only be severely damaged, but even its Heavenly Dao would be crippled.

Previously, Cultivators who had completed their Ascension Tribulation could not stay in the Lower Realm for even an extra second. Now, they are directly prevented from Ascending to Immortality through the Ascension Passage.

What did this mean?

When Immortal experts descend, the Heavenly Dao of the Sky Ruins Continent probably wouldn't expel them. It would act like a hands-off boss, licking its wounds, letting whoever came do whatever they pleased, and simply not interfering.

If she had known this would be the situation, she should have left some Immortal Rank Cultivation resources back then. Feng Zixian had always regretted this deeply, but she never expected that Long Aotian could suddenly conjure Immortal Rank Cultivation resources for her, and even top-grade Immortal Crystals, which made her overjoyed.

With the Phoenix God Scripture frantically operating, absorbing, refining, and re-absorbing, that long-lost sense of Immortal Rank power returned!

Her Cultivation soared again, Breakthrough from the Sixth Revolution to the Seventh Revolution, Eighth Revolution, and finally reaching the Ninth Revolution Peak Stage, where Feng Zixian barely managed to stop...
