Lingfu Qingwu Leaf Wheel Shield, Ninefold Cangmu Demon Thunder

  Zero is the starting point, nine is the extreme number.

  The demon's cultivation, as long as it breaks through the nine extremes, will bring about heavenly tribulation.

  From birth, it is in the infant monster stage.

  From 9 years of cultivation, breaking through to 10 years of cultivation, the Little Demon Tribulation will arrive. If you successfully pass it, you can rise from the Infant Demon Realm to the Little Demon Rank.

  From 1999, breaking through to the year 2000, there will be a great calamity of the demon. Successfully passing through it, one can rise from being a minor demon to becoming a major demon.

  From 999 years, breaking through to 1000 years, there is a spiritual demon tribulation. After passing through, it is the spiritual demon realm.

  From 9999 years, breaking through to 10,000 years, then there is a disaster of the demon. After passing through, it is the realm of the demon.

  Xiao Yao Jie, Da Yao Jie, Ling Yao Jie, Jie Yao Jie, the four major calamities become increasingly difficult as they progress. The four major Yao Jie are not necessarily to be resisted head-on. One can evade, seek help from allies, divert disaster elsewhere, or delay the thunder calamity... various methods have their pros and cons, requiring adaptability in choosing when to use them.

  Therefore, crossing the demon tribulation is also a profound subject. In the curriculum of Tiān Gē Shū Yuàn, there is a course that specializes in teaching how to cross the demon tribulation and increase the success rate of knowledge.

  Among them, the three of Yao Bing, Yao Zhi, and Yao Shou have different experiences in crossing the tribulation. For example, when Tian Hu crossed the small Yao tribulation, because he did not understand the Taoist principles, he had to rely mainly on evasion. In the end, following the principle of five elements generating and overcoming each other, he used the environment to consume the thunder tribulation and successfully crossed it.

  However, most of the demon plants, like the Huàn Zhuǎn Dān Yuán tree, are rooted in the mud and cannot avoid the tribulation, relying mainly on brute force to resist.

  Fortunately, Chu Yun had anticipated this and made sufficient preparations early on.

  He spent a lot of academic credits in the Scripture Pavilion to choose many defensive Dao methods for Huan Zhuan Dan Yu Shu. Secondly, he borrowed many Tian Gai stones from Jin Bi Han to provide for Huan Zhuan Dan Yu Shu. Finally, it was himself, holding the Drunken Snow Knife as the last line of defense.

  At noon that day, Wan's cultivation in Dan Yuan Tree had already broken through from 9 years to 10 years, and was sensed by heaven and earth, forming a small demon tribulation.

  Chu Yun immediately tightened the mouth of the immortal pouch, cutting off the sense. The little demon dissipated.

  He had originally wanted to choose a superior location for his tribulation, but was persuaded by Yuan Zong's words and decided to undergo his tribulation in the courtyard of the Yuan Zong's residence.

  When the stars were shining and the night color enveloped the entire Qing Shan Island, Chu Yun and others made their preparations, while the rest of the people kept watch from a distance. Only Chu Yun was left in the small courtyard to prepare.

  He placed the small cloud pouch on the ground, fully opening the mouth of the bag and propping it up with a frame from the outside. From Chu Yun's perspective, the pouch was open, shaped like a round barrel. The crystal mud at the bottom of the bag could be seen, as well as the miniature version of the Dan Yuan Tree.

  The mouth of the bag is wide open, and heaven and earth respond. In an instant, extremely quickly, a small demon robbery condenses into shape in the air.

  A small, blue-gray cumulonimbus cloud with a distinctive shape, emitting flashes of blue lightning. In the center is a dense, rounded mass of cloud. The next layer out is a ring-shaped band of cloud, and the next layer out is similar. Overall, the clouds form countless concentric circles.

  "One, two, three... there are actually nine!" Chu Yun counted carefully, her face gradually becoming solemn.

  This is the Ninefold Abyssal Wood Tribulation! There are nine waves of attacks, and their power grows stronger and stronger, becoming increasingly difficult to withstand as they progress.

  Jin Bi Han and Yan Que, who were watching from a distance, also had very serious expressions. This Ninefold Ashwood Demon Tribulation was one of the most difficult ones among the minor demon tribulations.

  Dark clouds gathered in the center, rolling ceaselessly, with frequent flashes of lightning and loud thunder.

  Chu Yun shouted: "Leaf Wheel Jade Bracelet Shield."

  The ancient tree shook violently and five green leaves flew out. The leaves connected end to end, forming a hollow circular wheel that spun continuously.

  A hollow ring flew out of the immortal bag, emitting a blue light, its shape changing and growing larger. The blue light gradually condensed, until finally it seemed to have become a jade hoop the size of a stone mill, silently spinning at high speed in mid-air.

  Crack!

  A streak of blue lightning tore through the night sky, fiercely shooting towards the rotating Dan Yuan tree.

  The leaf wheel jade bracelet shield immediately welcomed the green thunder, wrapping it around. With a loud crash, the jade bracelet shield shook and almost fell, barely blocking the first wave of thunder.

  Chu Yun secretly calculated the power of the second heavy thunder tribulation, and directed with his mouth. The body of the Dan Yuan tree shook continuously, and five new jade hoop shields flew out.

  The second heavy thunderbolt struck down, shattering the first jade hoop shield from before, its power undiminished, and then shattered another new jade hoop shield.

  The third heavy thunderbolt struck down, shattering three of the leaf wheel jade hoop shields. Blinking her eyes, in mid-air, only one leaf wheel remained, thinly and lonely protecting the Revolving Golden Elixir Tree.

  Chu Yun furrowed her brow and glanced at the bag. The Dan Yuan tree originally had few leaves, but now its branches were bare and smooth.

  He had no choice but to change his tactics and use a move called Ling Fu Qing Wu.

  The fourth heavy thunderbolt shattered the last leaf wheel jade bracelet shield, but was blocked by Ling Fu Qing Yun. The cyan white thick fog suddenly dispersed half of it.

  "Add Ling Fu Qing Wu, and then use Qing Lao Yi again." Chu Yun's lips were dry, feeling the pressure.

  The fifth heavy thunderbolt went away with the thick fog, its power greatly reduced, and was blocked by a greenish-blue light garment formed by the Dan Yuan Tree's transformation. It was indeed the merit of the Qing Luan garment.

  Chu Yun licked his dry lips, feeling helpless. This was the first time he had crossed the Ninefold Thunder Tribulation of the Azure Wood Demon, and in his past life, he hadn't even possessed the Revolving Dan Yuan Tree. The Fivefold Thunder Tribulation had already made him feel somewhat drained.

  The Huanyuan Dan Yuan Tree has not passed the demon tribulation and is still in the juvenile demon stage, its own spiritual light has not yet grown full. Therefore, it lacks wisdom and can only understand and use a limited number of Dao methods.

  Apart from the innate Taoist technique "Tao Yun Tian Cheng", Chu Yun carefully calculated and equipped it with five mid-to-low-grade Taoist techniques: "Ye Lun Yu Huan Shield", "Ling Fu Qing Wu", "Qing Lao Yi", "Ju Ling Shu" and "Gen Yuan Ji Qu Shu". They are all defensive and restorative types.

  At present, all defensive Taoist methods have been used up, but there are still four lightning bolts left. One of them is stronger than the other, and its power cannot be underestimated.

  Helpless, Chu Yun could only instruct Huan to turn Dan Yuan Tree again to replenish Ling Fu's clear mist.

  The sixth Thunderclap of the Azure Wood came crashing down, and Ling Fu's Clear Mist immediately collapsed. Qing Luan's clothes were also torn apart. The lightning was greatly weakened, but it still struck the trunk of the Dan Yuan Tree, causing the tree to shudder violently.

  Chu Yun felt a pang in his heart as he watched, and through the connection of the Lingguang, he sensed the fearful feeling transmitted from the Huanyuan Dan Yuanshu.

  He hastily calmed down the Lingguang, comforted the emotions of the Hunzhuan Dan Yuanshu. At the same time, he ordered to replenish the Lingfu Qingwu and the Qingluo Yi.

  He was just about to use the Spirit Gathering Technique when the seventh Azure Wood Thunderbolt struck down.

  "This is terrible, it's getting faster and faster!" Chu Yun's heart skipped a beat as he watched Qing Lei burst through the two layers of protection, turning the Dan Yuan Tree into a charred black state. A wave of burnt smell immediately spread out.

  The spiritual light of the Dan Yuan Tree fluctuated wildly, becoming extremely intense. It was very frightened, reminding Chu Yun of a wailing infant who needed parental protection and comfort.

  Chu Yun gritted his teeth and resolutely drew out the Drunken Snow Knife from behind his back. Although he had mentally prepared himself, the difficulty of Lei Jie still exceeded his expectations. After all, during Tian Hu's tribulation, he could still dodge and use the environment to consume and resist the lightning. This time, with the Dan Yuan Tree's tribulation, he could only rely on his own strength to forcibly resist.

  "Lending a helping hand will inevitably stir up the heavens and earth, and the calamity of evil spirits will also undergo unpredictable changes. However, for now, it can only be so......" Chu Yun sighed in his heart, when suddenly his body shook, and he discovered that an unusual change had occurred within his treasure bag.

  A small white cloud gathered near the mouth of the bag. At first glance, it seemed like the Dan Yuan tree was wearing a lovely little hat.

  "Ah, Xiao Jiyun's treasure pouch! This has triggered the effect of the cloud, and it was indeed worth the initial investment! These small clouds have absorbed the remaining electricity from the previous few lightning tribulations, and have become Cangmu Qinglei Clouds. With their same nature repelling each other, they possess a great defensive power against this lightning tribulation, even more so than the Yelun Yuanyin Shield!"

  Chu Yun's expression changed in an instant, and he quickly altered his strategy. He immediately commanded: "Quickly use the Gathering Spirit Technique, then use the Root Source Extraction Technique!"

  Soul Gathering Technique, able to rapidly extract a large amount of wood-type yuanqi from the surrounding space in a short period of time, making up for the consumption of demonic yuan.

  Root Source Drawing Technique, a classic Taoist method of demonic plants, can take root in the earth, draw life force, and repair itself.

  Two Taoist methods were used in succession, causing the Hun to transform and the Dan Yuan tree to be reborn, regaining its vitality and even growing over a dozen new green leaves.

  The eighth heavy thunderbolt struck down, hitting the small cloud directly. With a loud crash, both disappeared simultaneously.

  Seizing the opportunity, Chu Yun shouted loudly: "Dan Yuan Tree, use Leaf Wheel Jade Bracelet Shield in succession, then replenish with Ling Fu Clear Mist, and finally form Qing Lao Yi!"

  Two jade bangles flew up, a thick white mist enveloped the tree trunk, and the light of the green lotus robe flickered in the fog.

  In the night sky, what was originally nine concentric circles of calamity clouds had been reduced to just one last circle. The rumbling thunder sounded muffled, and an unprecedentedly strong blue lightning was brewing in the clouds.

  Chu Yun gritted her teeth, a cold sweat trickling down from her forehead and streaming down the corner of her eye. This was the final moment.

  Boom!

  Azure lightning, like a sharp sword, pierced through space and entered the immortal's pouch in the blink of an eye.

  Lightning shattered the withered and rotten, two jade wheel shields in the green light, instantly turned to dust. The spiritual lotus mist only resisted for half a breath before dispersing. The green lotus robe also collapsed after one breath.

  Finally, Huàn turned Danyuan Tree into its true body to resist thunder and lightning.

  At this moment, time in Chu Yun's senses was stretched out. After a very long feeling, the dazzling lightning disappeared, and the body of the Dan Yuan tree turned black, its cultivation falling to 8 years, but without a doubt, it had successfully passed the tribulation!

  "After passing this tribulation, although some cultivation was lost, re-cultivating for 10 years will no longer encounter the small demon tribulation's test. Congratulations!" Yan Que walked over to offer his congratulations.

  Once you've crossed the demon tribulation, you'll have gained recognition from the Great Way of Heaven and Earth. From now on, even if your cultivation regresses, you won't encounter another demon tribulation of the same level again.

  "I thought Brother Chu was going to take action and help with his sword. Actually, this is for the best, it avoids the calamity of the demon changing. This kind of Ninefold Azure Wood Demon Calamity, once it undergoes a transformation, is extremely troublesome." Jin Bi Han blinked her bright, moon-like eyes, also coming to offer congratulations.

  Chu Yun sheathed the Drunken Snow Knife: "I'm worried that assassins might somehow bypass the Academy's defenses and cause trouble. So, I'd rather not intervene unless absolutely necessary. To be honest, the pressure of the Tribulation is immense. The Dan Yuan Tree is extremely precious and can't be lost. Fortunately, it condensed into a small cloud to block the eighth bolt of lightning; otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

  He was very glad that he didn't hesitate to spend his points and chose the most expensive Small Cloud Immortal's Bag. Now it seemed, it was indeed worth every point.

  Have a great weekend, brothers and sisters! Calling for recommendation votes here!
