Chapter 1642: Chapter 885: The Blood Character Shows Its Might, Peerless Potential
The True Spirit Yuan Yang Tribulation is different from the Six Nine Tribulations; it is not a heavenly tribulation, but a fire tribulation.
This fire is also known as the Five Thieves Demon Flame, born from the true spirit’s origin, rather than from the Taoist Law.
The Five Thieves are the five desires: joy, anger, sorrow, surprise, and fear!
The Five Thieves Demon Flame belongs to the "Cold Flame" variety, specifically targeting the True Spirit Wisdom Light. Its five desires demons are formless and intangible, capable of eroding and twisting the true spirit’s intelligence, imposing "false desires" to usurp "true emotions."
Therefore, when crossing the True Spirit Yuan Yang Tribulation, one generally cannot rely on external forces, but must endure with one’s own strength.
Anyone with "unwavering true emotions" can easily pass through this tribulation.
However, if there is even a hint of "doubt and hesitation," most true form spiritual treasures will have their True Spirit Wisdom Light erased, reverting to "ignorance" on the spot.
From miles away, Zhao Sheng gazed into the distance, witnessing the rapid expansion of the Five Thieves Demon Flame, whose light was increasingly dazzling and eerie. Numerous five desires demons clustered together, continuously charging into the depths of the fire cloud.
At this moment, Jin Zha, Mu Zha, and the other four children hid behind Zhao Sheng, poking their heads out to watch the increasingly rampant and violent Five Thieves Demon Flame, their faces filled with fright and worry.
The Five Zhas were interconnected, sharing a "heart link," and Tu Zha was undergoing the trials of the Demon Fire, which made the other four "share in the experience."
Compared to other old true form spiritual treasures, the Five Zhas had a smooth journey with hardly any setbacks or grinding.
In less than a millennium, they had reached the True Spirit Yuan Yang Tribulation, completely overshadowing most of their peers.
Without experiencing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years of time and adversity, the Five Zhas were truly "naive" and "pure."
Today, under the trial of the Five Desires Demon Flame, Tu Zha couldn’t hold on for an hour before his spirit was shaken by desire demons, wavering his will.
His emotions and consciousness quickly blurred and twisted, his true spirit rapidly dimmed and withered, seemingly on the verge of becoming "fuel" for the Five Thieves Demon Flame.
At this moment, a burst of blood light suddenly flew from the depths of Tu Zha’s spirit, spreading out in all directions.
In an instant, the splendid and colorful demon flame cloud was tinged with a pale blood color.
Soon after, a character slowly rose from the depths of the blood light: the character "思" (Thought).
As this character appeared, the countless five desires demons instantly dissipated, and the demon flame cloud rapidly collapsed and retracted.
Time seemed to reverse as the fire cloud quickly shrank into a fist-sized blood flame, then flew into Tu Zha’s body, disappearing without a trace.
Seeing this scene, Jin Zha exclaimed in shock, "Ah, it just... ended?"
"Just this...?" Mu Zha also widened his eyes.
Zhao Sheng, witnessing this, was quite surprised, not expecting the reincarnation "blood character" to be so wondrous.
"Look, Atu has grown taller!"
With a startled cry, Shui Zha immediately caught Zhao Sheng’s attention, prompting him to gaze over.
He saw that Tu Zha, originally three feet tall, visibly grew and expanded, quickly becoming a sturdy "youth" about six feet tall.
At this moment, his bellyband had transformed into a Profound Yellow Armor, appearing indestructible and as heavy as a mountain.
Tu Zha excitedly examined his new body, instantly feeling everything was completely different from before.
He suddenly looked over at Zhao Sheng, and in the next instant, Tu Zha appeared in front of Zhao Sheng as if by magic, the entire process unfolding seamlessly, without a trace of earthly smoke or fire.
"Master, Atu did not fail in his mission!" Tu Zha reverently looked at his master, earnestly bowing and saluting.
Zhao Sheng praised him, "Atu did well, you’ve set a good example for the other four."
No sooner than these words were spoken, Mu Zha impatiently jumped out, shouting, "Master, master. I want to be the second to cross the tribulation!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Zha indignantly contested, "Why should you be the second? I, Jin Zha, should be the second to cross the tribulation, doesn’t ’earth begets metal’ make sense?"
Mu Zha became anxious, immediately retorting, "Pah, what earth begets metal? I’m still ’wood begets earth!’"
Hearing this, Jin Zha simply covered his ears, shaking his head repeatedly, "I won’t listen, anyhow, I want to be the second."
Seeing the two Zhas quarreling, Zhao Sheng suddenly spoke, "Alright, Ashui, you go!"
"As you command, master!" Shui Zha obediently bowed in response.
Mu Zha and Jin Zha, upon seeing their master speak, were instantly dispirited, having no choice but to watch Shui Zha leave with envious eyes.
Not long after, a large mass of multicolored demon flame clouds suddenly emerged, surrounding Shui Zha at the center.
The Five Thieves Demon Flames spawned countless five desires demons, madly pouncing on Shui Zha.
However, after just half an hour, a burst of blood light shot skyward, instantly turning the Five Thieves Demon Flames into a sea of blood color.
A few breaths later, the demon flame condensed into the size of a fist, obediently melting into Shui Zha’s body.
Soon after, Shui Zha, like Tu Zha, visibly grew taller, quickly transforming into a handsome youth, six feet tall.
The difference was that he wore a water-blue Daoist robe instead of armor.
After Shui Zha successfully crossed the Primordial Yang Tribulation, Mu Zha, Jin Zha, and Huo Zha also successively and smoothly passed their respective Primordial Yang Tribulations.
After some inquiry, Zhao Sheng was astonished to realize that the "Mirror Realm" within the Five Zhas had already transformed into a genuine Grotto Heaven, although its size was ten times smaller than his.
In addition, the Five Zhas had innately comprehended a Great Divine Power without a teacher, achieving qualitative leaps in strength from before.
Since ascending to the ranks of Primordial Yang Spirit Treasures, the Five Zhas were not much different from the Integration Realm Great Powers of the Human Clan.
In a sense, the current Five Zhas were no longer outcasts, but rather could be viewed as "Taoist" companions on the same path.
Exactly!
Even when Great Powers of Human Clan see them, they must address them as "Taoist" companions.
Moreover, in the Taiyi Spirit Realm, the number of Primordial Yang Spirit Treasures is far fewer than Integration Realm Great Powers, making them a rare species.
Primordial Yang Spirit Treasures are nearly immortal, earning favor from all Immortal Sects solely based on this.
In other words, Primordial Yang Spirit Treasures hold a much higher status than ordinary Integration Realm Great Powers.
After all, Integration Realm eventually faces the issue of lifespan and sitting down, but Primordial Yang Spirit Treasures do not.
Of course, there is gain and loss!
Ninety-nine percent of Primordial Yang Spirit Treasures cannot advance to become Heavenly Spirit Treasures, while Integration Realm’s advancement in Crossing Tribulation is much easier.
However, in Zhao Sheng’s view, the Five Zhas possess the potential to advance to Heavenly Spirit Treasures, for he laid their "foundation" at the beginning of refining.
After opening up the Grotto Heaven, Zhao Sheng did not hurry back to the Taiyi Spirit Realm but stayed to train with the Five Zhas on the spot.
He submerged into the depths of the crust, while the Five Zhas occupied five positions in the southeast, northwest, and center, silently stabilizing their realms.
Time passed unknowingly, and the desolate, barren planet underwent earth-shaking changes.
After volcanoes erupted across the surface for several hundred years, a thick atmosphere gradually formed above the planet.
Although the planet’s surface was scorching hot, like Hell, as nature’s spiritual energy spread across the globe, it eventually established the initial cycle of spiritual energy.
One day, the planet suddenly experienced an unprecedented torrential rain, pouring globally and lasting tens of thousands of years.
During the first century of the rain, Shui Zha was the first to break through. Feeling the abundant water vapor between heaven and earth, he was unusually excited to manipulate the Water Element Power, injecting endless water vapor into the entire planet.
In the century that followed, Tu Zha and Jin Zha emerged sequentially, inspired by Shui Zha, they attempted to manipulate the powers of Earth and Metal Principles, beginning to "reform" this planet.
Another century passed, and Mu Zha and Huo Zha also joined in this "unprecedented" planetary reform project.
As time went by, numerous rivers surged across the desolate terrain, and spots of green gradually grew along the banks, marking the emergence of the most primitive "moss".
In the following decades, the Five Zhas transported countless plant seeds from their Grotto Heaven, scattering them across the planet’s surface.
The majority of seeds perished due to the harsh environment, but a scarce few defiantly took root and sprouted, surviving with difficulty.
Three hundred years on, the planet once barren and lifeless gradually regained vitality, forming an atmosphere, and hundreds and thousands of plant species appeared on the surface, while primitive fish species started emerging in the depths of the scorching sea.
...
On a day three hundred and seventy years later, the torrential rain continued to fall day and night, almost submerging the surface under a vast ocean.
In the depths of the crust, a pure white halo suspended above the Magma Sea, quietly emitting a bright radiance.
The Five Elements Cave Heaven had been born for just over three centuries, with its area having expanded to "160,000 miles".
The Grotto Heaven was shaped like an egg, with the space-time dome serving as the "shell", while the Grotto Heaven itself resembled a "planet" with a diameter of 160,000 miles.
Zhao Sheng had perused numerous ancient books and scripture scrolls, fully aware that the Grotto Heaven created by Integration Realm cultivators had many different models.
Some adhered to the traditional "Heavenly Round and Earthly Square" model, with the main body of the Grotto Heaven being a Floating Continent, also called Vast Central Earth.
There were also those, like him, who fashioned their Grotto Heaven in a planet model, as All Heavens and Universes encompass countless worlds that are "planets".
This model aligns with cosmic truths and is the best choice for the majority of Integration Realm cultivators.
Additionally, some rarer Grotto Heaven models include "World Tree", "Multi-layer Interface", and imitation of the Hongmeng Immortal Realm’s "All Stars".
The Taiyi Spirit Realm is a typical "All Stars" model.
