Chapter 498: Da Luo Golden Immortal

After bringing Yan Qingling to the Immortal Realm, Li Xiaojun asked for her opinion on whether this place was suitable for undergoing tribulation.

Hearing Li Xiaojun’s question, Yan Qingling felt the surroundings and said, “Dad, this space is still too fragile. If I undergo tribulation here, it will definitely cause immeasurable damage.”

Upon hearing Yan Qingling’s words, Li Xiaojun thought for a moment and replied, “Must we go to the Kunlun Realm?”

“No need for that; I believe we can go to the horizon of the Milky Way black hole. With our cultivation as Taiyi Golden Immortals, the Milky Way black hole cannot trap us.”

Yan Qingling said to Li Xiaojun, “Within the horizon of the Milky Way black hole, even if the Da Luo tribulation is powerful, it won’t harm the outside Immortal Realm.”

After considering Yan Qingling’s words, Li Xiaojun nodded. “In that case, let’s go.”

A month later, Li Xiaojun and Yan Qingling flew into the horizon of the Milky Way black hole.

In the horizon of the Milky Way black hole, even light cannot escape; however, for Li Xiaojun and Yan Qingling, the two Taiyi Golden Immortals, it had no effect at all.

Especially for Yan Qingling, who had reached great perfection in the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, the influence was even less.

“Dad, I’m going to start undergoing tribulation,” Yan Qingling said to Li Xiaojun.

“Okay, I will protect you,” Li Xiaojun nodded.

“Alright, Dad, please be careful about the intensity of the heavenly tribulation. If it’s too strong, I will need you to use merits to reduce it for me,” Yan Qingling replied.

…

Three years later! Yan Qingling’s lightning tribulation finally began.

As expected, the Da Luo Golden Immortal tribulation, like the ordinary Golden Immortal tribulation, also involved being’s tribulation, and it lasted three years.

According to what Yan Qingling sensed, during the Da Luo Golden Immortal tribulation, beings who haven’t reached Taiyi Golden Immortal would be unable to act. If a Da Luo Golden Immortal intervened, they would attract even more powerful lightning tribulation.

Li Xiaojun learned from Yan Qingling that this was the situation.

Why hadn’t the Golden Immortal tribulation shown such aspects before?

In reality, Li Xiaojun didn’t know that the Golden Immortal tribulation did have such circumstances, but the Heavenly Dao didn’t convey this information to the tribulation goer in a subtle way.

Moreover, there weren’t many beings in the Golden Immortal Realm in the Immortal Realm, and there had never been an instance of a Golden Immortal stopping another being from undergoing being’s tribulation.

The only time it happened was during Li Bai’s tribulation, where several Golden Immortals of the beast tribe were killed instantly by Li Xiaojun before they could approach.

Had Li Xiaojun not intervened, and allowed those Golden Immortal beasts to participate in Li Bai’s being’s tribulation, they would have suffered from a backlash of lightning tribulation.

…

While Yan Qingling was undergoing her Da Luo tribulation,

During these three years, countless beings in the Immortal Realm were trembling in fear.

Three years ago, a wave of lightning tribulation energy reverberated throughout the Immortal Realm.

The intensity of this wave was so powerful that even Lord Chiyu, a Golden Immortal, and the Human Race’s Golden Immortal Mo Qianqiu were filled with dread.

If Golden Immortals reacted this way, one could imagine the fear of cultivators below the Golden Immortal Realm.

Only Li Xiaojun’s sons and daughters, who knew that Yan Qingling was undergoing tribulation, had little reaction to this event.

Li Xiaojun consumed merits to support Yan Qingling’s cultivation, and now she was about to undergo her Da Luo tribulation.

This situation stirred mixed feelings among Li Xiaojun’s children.

Li Xiaojun’s biological daughters were very envious of Yan Qingling, but no one felt jealous.

They understood that among all his children, their biological father had always treated them the best.

Now that their father chose to enhance Yan Qingling’s strength, it meant he believed that improving Yan Qingling was more beneficial.

Besides Li Xiaojun’s nine biological daughters, Liu Hongxia had the most complicated feelings.

She was envious and jealous of Yan Qingling but felt helpless.

However, she also realized that she had previously hurt her biological father, so it was difficult for her to receive benefits first.

Had she not compensated her father later, ensured he was always available for her, and completed the tasks he assigned without reservation, she might have long been pushed aside in her father’s heart.

Of course, the happiest about Yan Qingling’s rise in strength was her sister, Yan Qingwu.

Yan Qingwu and Yan Qingling were biological sisters; if Yan Qingling became powerful, Yan Qingwu’s status among all her sisters would greatly improve as well.

Moreover, with Yan Qingling becoming a Da Luo Golden Immortal, it would be much easier for Yan Qingwu to obtain any cultivation resources she desired.

…

In the Immortal Realm, after Yan Qingling’s lightning tribulation began, Li Xiaojun did not use merit to help weaken the effects of the tribulation.

This was because Yan Qingling told Li Xiaojun that she was very confident she could overcome this lightning tribulation.

And indeed, she did.

Last month, Yan Qingling successfully passed the final heavenly tribulation and broke through to become a Da Luo Golden Immortal.

As the powerful lightning tribulation faded away, all beings in the Immortal Realm breathed a sigh of relief.

…

Yan Qingling’s achievement as a Da Luo Golden Immortal consumed more than one hundred thirty billion human merit from Li Xiaojun.

Currently, Li Xiaojun’s system panel shows about forty billion merit remaining.

This amount of merit is certainly insufficient to mold another Da Luo Golden Immortal.

In reality, the power of the rules needed to achieve a Da Luo Golden Immortal is tremendous.

To enable Yan Qingling to comprehend one power of the rules to fifty percent and five other powers to over thirty percent, Li Xiaojun had consumed almost one hundred twenty billion merit.

On the other hand, raising Yan Qingling from the early Golden Immortal realm to the Da Luo Golden Immortal Realm actually consumed relatively little merit, around only twenty billion.

The main issue was that comprehending the power of the rules required an alarming amount of merit.

…

Now, with nearly forty billion merit remaining, if used for Li Bai, it could help him breakthrough to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

However, Li Xiaojun felt that since he had already invested most of the merit into Yan Qingling, there was no need to distribute the remaining merit to others.

So, Li Xiaojun decided to continue pouring all the remaining merit into Yan Qingling.

A decade later.

With all the merit invested in Yan Qingling, her cultivation advanced rapidly; just as Li Xiaojun’s merit was about to be exhausted, Yan Qingling finally broke through to the mid-stage Da Luo Golden Immortal Realm.

“Dad, I feel incredibly powerful right now!” Yan Qingling said excitedly to Li Xiaojun after breaking through to mid-stage Da Luo.

She felt that with her current cultivation level, if she wanted to kill her biological father in front of her, she could do so in an instant.

Hearing his children’s words, Li Xiaojun was also very pleased.

Having a daughter at mid-stage Da Luo meant he would have more confidence when he needed to "call for help" in the future.

For example, when he faced the demon tribe Da Luo in the Kunlun Realm, he could only run away.

Now, he could easily teleport Yan Qingling over and then escape, allowing his daughter to handle the situation.

Moreover, if his daughter couldn’t defeat the opponent, he could teleport her out of the Kunlun Realm.

“Dad, thank you! You are so good to me; I don’t know how to repay you,” Yan Qingling said after her arrogance faded, expressing her gratitude to Li Xiaojun.

Yan Qingling was the most talented among all of Li Xiaojun’s children, and her emotional intelligence was also high.

Even though her cultivation level was now many times stronger than her father’s, she recognized who was the greater authority.

“You’re welcome. Although you have reached the Da Luo Golden Immortal Realm, your combat skills may not keep up, so you should try to refine your combat experience next.”

Li Xiaojun said to Yan Qingling, “I have found a task for you. Go to the Kunlun Realm and challenge the demon tribe Da Luo; this will help you quickly gain combat experience.”

“Additionally, if you find yourself surrounded by several demon tribe Da Luo, you can contact me directly, and I will safely teleport you away from the Kunlun Realm.”

After hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Yan Qingling thought for a moment and nodded.

Although she was now a Da Luo Golden Immortal, she still lacked control over her power.

This was mainly because her cultivation had risen too quickly due to merit, leaving her little time to get familiar with her strength.

…

Since he decided to let Yan Qingling refine herself in the Kunlun Realm, Li Xiaojun did not delay.

He immediately used a demon tribe offspring with his bloodline as a coordinate and teleported to the Demon Realm, then summoned Yan Qingling over.

“Go ahead; I will support you at any time.” Li Xiaojun said to Yan Qingling before teleporting away again.

This time, he did not leave the Kunlun Realm but returned to the territory where the Human Race resided.

Although Li Xiaojun had killed many demons last time with a group of his children in the demon tribe’s territory, the demon tribe had not launched a crazy retaliation against the Human Race.

They were afraid.

Until they had a strategy against Li Xiaojun, the demon tribe did not want to fight the Human Race to the bitter end.

Currently, the Human Race, although very weak compared to the demon tribe, had Li Xiaojun, who could appear and disappear unpredictably and even kill Taiyi Golden Immortal demons, while the demon tribe Da Luo Golden Immortals had no means to counter him.

Thus, the demon tribe dared not engage in a harmful conflict with the Human Race.

The current Human Race was like North Korea armed with nuclear bombs and intercontinental missiles, while the demon tribe was akin to the American Empire.

…

In the demon tribe’s territory.

After Yan Qingling arrived, she chose a direction and quickly took flight.

At the same time, her divine sense continuously scanned the surroundings, searching for the target she wanted to find.

A few years later, Yan Qingling discovered a demon Taiyi in the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

This demon Taiyi was the guardian of a large demon city.

Upon finding the Taiyi demon, Yan Qingling wasted no time and directly broke the powerful formation set up in the demon city, then crushed the demon Taiyi with overwhelming strength.

At the same time, millions of ordinary demons in the city also suffered, with countless deaths and injuries.

After exterminating the demon Taiyi, Yan Qingling did not leave but waited for the arrival of the demon tribe Da Luo.

In less than a day, a mid-stage Da Luo demon arrived at a nearby city using the teleportation array and quickly flew into Yan Qingling’s divine sense perception.

When Yan Qingling’s divine sense detected the demon Da Luo, the demon Da Luo also sensed Yan Qingling’s divine sense.

Yan Qingling’s mid-stage Da Luo divine sense was far superior to that of the mid-stage Da Luo demon.

Upon realizing that its divine sense fragments could sense Yan Qingling’s divine sense but could not locate her position, the demon Da Luo chose to flee immediately.

Because it already knew that the enemy was likely a powerful mid-stage Da Luo Golden Immortal.

The demon Da Luo wanted to escape, but Yan Qingling was not about to let it get away.

The main principle Yan Qingling had mastered was the rule of space.

So, once she locked onto the demon Da Luo, she directly used the space rule to appear beside it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Immediately, earth-shattering sounds erupted far and wide.

In the demon territory, as the two Da Luo realm powerhouses clashed, various collapses continuously occurred.

The ground collapsed, and countless mountains and rivers were flattened.

Space began to collapse, with numerous space cracks appearing, filled with lethal dangers that would take a long time to heal.

During the battle, although the demon tribe’s Da Luo Golden Immortal was only in the early stage, it possessed powerful magical devices.

Moreover, the demon tribe’s combat power was already stronger than that of the Immortal Tribes. Furthermore, since Yan Qingling had just broken through to Da Luo and was not yet familiar with Da Luo realm combat, even though she consistently pressured the demon Da Luo in the fight, she could not truly handle it in a short time.

Also, the demon Da Luo did not intend to fight Yan Qingling to the death; instead, it fought while retreating.

It had called for help and only needed to hold on for a while longer before reinforcements would arrive.

As expected, after Yan Qingling pressured the demon Da Luo for half a day, another demon Da Luo arrived on the battlefield.

This one was also a mid-stage Da Luo. Two mid-stage Da Luo demons joined forces, yet Yan Qingling was not afraid.

She had quickly become familiar with the power of a mid-stage Da Luo Golden Immortal, making it quite easy to handle two early-stage Da Luo demons.

However, she found it somewhat difficult to kill both demon Da Luo.

In reality, the two Da Luo demons quickly lost interest in fighting Yan Qingling head-on.

Two hours later, another demon Da Luo reached the battlefield, and again it was an early-stage demon.

Most Da Luo Golden Immortals in the Kunlun Realm were early-stage.

There were only four beings at mid-stage Da Luo, with two from the Immortal Tribes and two from the demon tribe.

Because the demon tribe had two mid-stage Da Luo Golden Immortals, they could stand on equal footing with the Immortal Tribes in the Kunlun Realm.

As for late-stage Da Luo powerhouses, there seemed to be none at present.

If either side had a late-stage Da Luo powerhouse, they could fully suppress the other side.

In the demon territory, Yan Qingling fought alone against three demon Da Luo, seeming very relaxed.

However, in the battle, neither side could gain an advantage; Yan Qingling could not kill the three demon Da Luo, and they could not harm her.

Overall, the demon tribe suffered heavier losses.

In the clash of four Da Luo, it was unclear how much of the demon territory was destroyed.

After a few more hours, yet another demon Da Luo arrived.

This one was a mid-stage Da Luo.

Once it joined the battle, Yan Qingling instantly fell into a disadvantage.

“Despicable! Four against one? I’m not playing with you anymore.”

Facing four demon Da Luo, Yan Qingling quickly contacted Li Xiaojun.

In front of all the demon Da Luo witnessing, Yan Qingling simply vanished from sight.

Seeing this scene, all the demon Da Luo couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

“Did you all see how she left?” the mid-stage Da Luo asked the others.

“I saw it, but I don’t know how she got away,” replied an early-stage demon, shaking his head.

“The Human Race actually has a Da Luo, and it’s a mid-stage one! This is truly terrifying,” one demon exclaimed.

The emergence of Da Luo in the Human Race is not scary, but what frightens them is that the opponent appears to be a mid-stage Da Luo.

Of course, the most frightening part is that the opponent possesses that kind of ability to come and go without a trace.

The fact that this Human could escape right under the noses of their four Da Luo was the most terrifying aspect.
