Chapter 22: Overcoming the Tribulation

Long Yu recalled the process of the grass before. It absorbed rainwater from seeds, grew, was carried by the wind to the big tree, and then fell to the ground. It grew again because of the moisture in the soil, and then because of the rain, it was eaten by fish in the stream.

The cause is rain, and the result is the growth of the tooth tip. The cause is being blown away by the wind, and the result is being blocked by a big tree. The cause is also a big tree, and the result is being able to merge into the ground and grow. Growing on the ground is the cause, and then being washed away by rain is the result. Being washed away by rain is also the cause, and the result is that the fish finally eats the grass.

Long Yu thought about the cause and effect. It is both cause and effect. If there is an effect, there will be a cause. This is the cause and effect of others, so there will be cause and effect for myself. The cause of being raised by the old man and then driven down the mountain is the cause, and then being rescued by Yan Ci is the effect. It is also because helping Yan Ci hunt is the cause, and the appearance of the wild boar demon king is the effect. It is also the cause of the wild boar demon king that there are many causes and effects.

Long Yu opened his eyes, looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and shouted to the sky, "Come on, I practice for the way home, and I understand the Tao because I need to be stronger, so the heavenly tribulation appears to help me become stronger."

A white lightning bolt struck directly on Long Yudi's head and entered Long Yudi's spiritual consciousness space. The two air currents in his spiritual consciousness sensed the danger and quickly fought back. Ice and fire worked together to continuously resist the impact of the thunder.

Long Yu felt his head was about to explode, so he quickly took out the harp left by the old man and kept playing the soothing song taught by the old man. The battle in his consciousness was inseparable, and the thunder was like a god of war, allowing the two streams of ice and fire to attack. The thunder scattered with a crackling sound, constantly passing through the two air currents.

The two air currents in the divine consciousness were like two balls of air, which could not stop the attack of the sky thunder. They kept approaching the two territories of ice and fire. The two air currents of ice and fire felt the danger of the sky thunder, and they directly surrounded each other, generating two fast air currents to try to block the sky thunder.

Unexpectedly, the thunderbolt directly hit the territory of the two forces of ice and fire. The two forces of ice and fire collided with the thunderbolt, and the two territories of ice and fire seemed to be cut by a sharp knife. Long Yu was playing the zither, and suddenly a stream of hot blood flowed back from his brain, and he couldn't control it and sprayed it out of his mouth. Long Yu continued to play the zither by himself, entering a state of wholehearted concentration.

Long Yu replenished his spiritual consciousness while controlling the ice and fire to condense and resist the impact of the thunder. As soon as Long Yu condensed the ice and fire spiritual consciousness, the thunder in the sky struck Long Yu again. Long Yu's body emitted black smoke one after another. Long Yu didn't care about the changes in his body and still held on to the ice and fire spiritual consciousness.

Then the second thunder joined in. This time, two thunders twice as big as the previous ones entered the divine consciousness. Long Yu did not feel very optimistic. The thunders hit the divine consciousness from three directions. Just one contact with the divine consciousness turned it into countless fragments.

Long Yu hurriedly repaired his consciousness, condensing it while running. Just as it was condensing a little, the sky thunder struck Long Yu's consciousness again. Long Yu felt that the situation was getting worse and worse, and added three more thunders, which were twice as strong as the second one.

Long Yu's condensation speed was too slow, and the six heavenly thunders continued to shatter his consciousness. Long Yu controlled the two spiritual consciousnesses to surround him, and then absorbed the form of a five-layer Bagua formation to escape in the spiritual consciousness space. A heavenly thunder directly smashed Long Yu's earthly thunder Bagua formation. Long Yu looked at the two small spiritual consciousnesses left in his consciousness.

The fourth time the thunderbolt struck Long Yu's consciousness, Long Yu saw that there was no way out, so he directly collided with the thunderbolt. The two consciousnesses collided with the thunderbolt, but were not shattered again. Instead, the thunderbolt wrapped around the two consciousnesses, constantly expanding their size.

Long Yu was stunned for a moment. What was going on? Just now, it was about to smash his consciousness, but now it was helping him to repair it. Long Yu discovered a problem. At the beginning, he was resisting the thunder, because the thunder broke in, and he subconsciously treated the thunder as an enemy.

Now he was determined to fight against the thunder, but he found that the thunder was coming to help him. The sky struck the fifth thunder again, and the eleven thunders guided the two consciousnesses of Long Yu's consciousness to operate.

Long Yu watched it grow bigger and bigger, and felt his whole body enter an unprecedented silence. The sound of a drop of water broke the silence, followed by the sound of a faint wind blowing through the trees, and many other sounds. Long Yu followed the sound of the water drops carefully. The water in the sky kept dripping, then became a lake, then turned into gas, and turned into a drop of water again.

After an unknown amount of time, Long Yu sat on a drop of water, falling from the sky, and then entered a lake. He felt very hot and turned into a gas, rising continuously, turning into a gas. Then many gases gathered with him and turned into a drop of water.

Long Yu felt the number of cycles getting faster and faster, and he felt like a ball of fog, and the water droplets turned into gas and returned to him. Long Yu opened his eyes and saw that the dark clouds in the sky had dissipated, leaving only a sky full of stars.

Long Yu looked at his body, which was just a skeleton with a weakly beating heart. He suddenly sighed. "It is true that the way of heaven is ruthless. If I cultivate my body, I am afraid that it will be difficult to overcome the tribulation."

Long Yu guided the power of his spiritual consciousness to repair his body, and he turned his spiritual consciousness down. On one side was a purple flame, and on the other side was a snow-white surface. There was a huge white mist directly connecting the two in the gap in the middle. Drops of water dripped onto the spiritual consciousness surface of the snow-white ice, forming ice, and then melted from the ice, turned into gas and returned to the white mist.

Long Yu tried to probe the white mist, and there was a person who looked exactly like him in it. Long Yu looked at the figure in the white mist, and it was just like what he had just experienced. The water dripped into the white mist in a continuous cycle.

Long Yu thought, this is the early Ming Dynasty. Long Yu guided the power of his spiritual consciousness to repair his body, and it only took three hours to repair his body. Long Yu performed a master's salute to the sky. I thought I would never be able to realize the truth, but now it seems that I can also cultivate immortality.

Long Yu looked at the broken piano given to him by the old man on the ground, and couldn't help but feel distressed for a long time. Long Yu put the fragments into the ring. It seems that he has to make a piano for himself, and also make two swords of consciousness. The next step is a very slow process.

Long Yu stood up and took out the ice sword from the ring. He used his spiritual consciousness to control the sword and cut off his right hand. A blood mark appeared on his arm. Long Yu looked at the ice sword and saw a crack. He shook his head helplessly and started to hurt himself again.

The Ice Sword was broken into thirteen pieces. Long Yu watched blood drip out of his right hand, and quickly collected three drops of blood into three rings. Long Yu watched his arm and felt a hint of cause and effect. Although it was a short stay, Long Yu was very satisfied.

Long Yu used his spiritual sense to fly to the place where the grass was eaten. He looked at the clear water on the lake. The fish were hiding on the shore. Long Yu looked at the roots of the rotten grass. Long Yu landed on the edge of the stream and quietly looked at the fish in the water. It seemed that they chose to live comfortably in this place.

Long Yu used his spiritual sense to scan a fish with a slightly swollen belly, as if he was looking for something. Long Yu followed the fish and swam along the dragon, from the edge of the water grass to the edge of a small stone, stopped for a while, and continued to look for the location.

Long Yu became interested in the fish and watched it slowly leave the safe area and move further out. A bigger fish chased the fish that had swum out. Long Yu watched the fish continue to speed up, as if trying to avoid the pursuit of the bigger fish.

The small fish circled around a relatively large stone. Long Yu could sense that the fish was excreting something or laying eggs. The big fish was almost catching up with the small fish. The small fish ran out directly, and the big fish followed behind. In about three minutes, the small fish became food for the big fish.

Long Yu couldn't see the cause and effect of the small fish, as if it swam out just to become food for the big fish. Long Yu used his spiritual sense to scan the stone that the small fish had surrounded before, and Long Yu felt that the water surface beside the stone had a lot of life breath.

Long Yu figured it out, the little fish ran out not to die, but to reproduce its offspring. So the cause was to reproduce, and the result was to be eaten by the big fish.

Long Yu sighed, "Everything in the world has a cycle of cause and effect. It is also such a change that has caused many creatures to have to give up some of their own things in order to survive."

After Long Yu understood the cause and effect of Xiaoyu, he felt the white mist in his consciousness grow a little thicker. Long Yu looked at his own changes and understood the path he would take next. It was a process of constantly analyzing the things he encountered.

Long Yu glanced at the sky and flew directly on his sword, muttering to the sky, "Since there is practice everywhere, let's go back to Shenjian Mountain first to complete some causes and effects." Long Yu controlled his flying sword and felt more skilled than when he just came out of the sword formation.

Although in the old man's dream, he repeatedly studied Jian Chen's secret book, in fact, it is the only sword technique that can be learned, which is to control the sword with the power of consciousness. Others use Taoism to control, Long Yu converted to control the sword with consciousness. Only then can he have the current move of flying with a sword, which is a good choice for traveling.

Long Yu suddenly had some enlightenment. Before, he had passed on the secret manual of the sword formation, and now he had learned to fly with the sword. Long Yu understood that Jian Chen's passing on the secret manual was the cause, and he had learned it was the result. There were also many mutual cause and effect relationships. Long Yu watched the white mist in his consciousness become thicker.

Long Yu smiled at the air in front of him. It seemed that his own way was a better way. As long as he continued to gain insights, he could be like a moral cultivator, constantly absorbing the crystals of spiritual energy and climbing up his own way step by step.

Long Yu returned to Shenjian Mountain half an hour later, and watched the Bagua formation that replenished the energy of the heaven and earth from the periphery to protect the periphery of Shenjian Mountain. Long Yu understood why he had set up the Bagua formation, and suddenly realized that the cause of his repairing the sword formation led to the result of protecting Shenjian Mountain.

Long Yu looked at the Bagua formation of Shenjian Mountain and saw that it did not attack him, but instead welcomed him back to Shenjian Mountain. From the peak not far away, a familiar and somewhat frightening voice came. Long Yu shook his head helplessly and flew towards the peak.
