This is... Dragon Language?

A string of Dragon Language was spoken, and Qi Xiu quietly looked across at the other side.

After a moment.

A few short, deep echoes mixed with a sense of murkiness came back.

Upon hearing these few voices in Dragon Language, Qi Ruo nodded thoughtfully, then raised his hand to put away the Haotian Mirror that covered the sky.

The dazzling light, akin to daylight, receded.

The endless mountain barrier blocking the path also disappeared together.

The path they came on reappeared.

"Does this mean we can leave?" Hu Tianzong raised an eyebrow at the reappearing path.

"We negotiated a deal, but if we come in again next time, it might not be so easy to talk." Saying this, Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong then followed the little path they had come on and withdrew from this Fallen Dragon Land.

The ominous dark forest still stood towering as before.

However, compared to before.

An intense, bone-chilling aura of menace surrounded the entrance, seemingly a deliberate warning.

"Alas, it was a wasted trip."

Returning empty-handed, Hu Tianzong sighed softly.

"Just being able to leave safely is already good enough; the situation inside is very complex, rashly venturing in, would definitely do more harm than good.

To move freely inside, you and I will have to reach the Primordial Spirit Great Path first." Patting Hu Tianzong's shoulder, Qi Xiu said with a smile.

As Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong had just withdrawn from Fallen Dragon Land, they suddenly heard a cold snort coming from the direction of Third Master Hu's courtyard!

This snort even shook Changsheng Mountain.

The white snow on the layered peaks rumbled, rolled down, transforming into an avalanche.

Exchanging a glance, Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong quickly headed towards the courtyard, hearing sounds of their own Grandfather and the Sect Master fighting by their side.

But just as the two of them anxiously reached the small courtyard entrance.

With a bang!

The courtyard gate was slammed shut, Dongfang Qing stood in front with a face of helplessness, while the insulting voice of Third Master Hu came from the courtyard:

"Roll, roll, roll, go as far away as you can, don't let me see you again."

Seeing Dongfang Qing chased out of the courtyard, Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong quickly stepped forward, cautiously asking:

"Sect Master, what's this about..."

Rubbing his forehead, which was somewhat in pain from the door, Dongfang Qing shook his head and smiled:

"It's fine, things are settled, the Grandfather has generously agreed to eliminate the one who cast the curse."

Hearing that Third Master Hu was willing to intervene, Qi Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief.

But beside him, Hu Tianzong showed a look of surprise, he was almost raised single-handedly by the Grandfather.

He knew the Grandfather's temperament very well.

According to his understanding of the Grandfather, given his current character, it was almost impossible for him to meddle in such matters.

It seems that this Eastern Sect Leader and the Grandfather certainly struck some deal, otherwise, with the Grandfather's temperament, would he be so kind?

After all, the Grandfather was known for being one to pluck every feather from passing geese...

As Hu Tianzong speculated on what deal Dongfang Qing and his Grandfather had made, a small stone accurately hit him on the head.

With a pop, it made him grit his teeth in pain.

"You brat, forgot your own surname, hurry up and come in." The voice of Third Master Hu shouting in anger came from the courtyard.

Realizing that his complaints had been overheard by the Grandfather, Hu Tianzong quickly gathered his thoughts, clutching his head as he walked towards the courtyard and squeezed an eye at Qi Xiu:

"Don't forget, you and I must re-enter that treasured land when we both reach the Primordial Spirit Realm..."

Unexpectedly, even at this moment, Hu Tianzong still remembered this, Qi Xiu couldn't help but laugh, raising his hand:

"Rest assured, Qi will remember."

Having resolved the issue of the Nine-Nine Life-Loss Banner, Dongfang Qing and Qi Xiu immediately shattered Space-Bounding and returned to Dianchuan Province, within the Shenxiao Sect Gate.

At this time, the pitch-black thunderclouds that covered the sky and enveloped the entire Dianchuan Province had disappeared, the sky cleared once more, as if that apocalyptic scene was merely an illusion.

"Did the Great Elder succeed in overcoming the tribulation?"

Seeing that the tribulation clouds had vanished, Qi Xiu's eyes lit up, assuming that Dongfang Xiong had successfully overcome the Primordial Spirit Tribulation.

But Dongfang Qing beside him slowly shook his head:

"The Primordial Spirit Tribulation isn't that simple, this Heavenly Tribulation is just the first part of the Primordial Spirit Tribulation.

After the Heavenly Tribulation, the one who endures the tribulation still has to undergo the Heart Tribulation, Body Tribulation, and finally the Mahayana Tribulation.

Each of these tribulations is a matter of life and death.

Our Shenxiao Sect masters the Thunder Magic, so while the Heavenly Tribulation is the hardest for other cultivators, for us it is comparatively simpler.

This is also one of the reasons Thunder Magic is revered as the King of All Techniques.

As for the invasion of external demons and the growth of inner demons during the Heart Tribulation, the Great Elder can resist using the [Innate Thunder Sound] from the Primordial Sky Annihilating Thunder Skill Compendium.

So those two tribulations need not be worried about.

What truly has kept the Great Elder from succeeding in overcoming tribulations multiple times is the third tribulation, the Body Tribulation.

The reason why the Primordial Spirit True Honor can live as long as heaven and earth, shine alongside the sun and moon, is because they use the power of [Earth Water Wind Fire] which originate from the initial creation of the world, to revert their original physical body back to the Innate Yuan Yi Realm.

Only then can they break through the limitations of longevity.

So after the Body Tribulation begins, there will be Samadhi Divine Wind entering from the top of the head, Samadhi True Fire igniting from beneath the feet, Samadhi True Water spilling from the internal organs, and Samadhi True Soil spreading through the marrow.

This power of [Earth Water Wind Fire] appears directly within the body of the one enduring the tribulation.

There's simply no way to preemptively defend against it with any method.

These forces are pure and immense, and any inability to withstand them would result in the immediate destruction of their physical body and soul.

Previously every time the Great Elder failed at tribulations, it was during this Body Tribulation.

Fortunately, every time he underwent tribulation, I protected with the Nine Heavens Shenxiao Thunder City by his side.
