Chapter 289: It’s Worth It

“Definitely!” Su Chen replied confidently. His gaze pierced through the clouds, allowing him to clearly witness Huo Xi undergoing tribulations while simultaneously refining her own weapon.

Under the baptism of the lightning tribulations, the Exquisite Pagoda in her hand had already risen to the level of a Dao weapon. They were both Dao weapons, but the Exquisite Pagoda in Huo Xi’s possession was significantly more formidable. This was primarily due to the rarity of the materials she had used.

Another reason for this disparity was that she seemed to have no qualms about refining her weapon during the heavenly tribulations. This indicated that the current level of tribulation wasn’t causing her significant trouble.

Barring any unexpected events, today’s heavenly tribulations should be safely overcome.

As time passed, it grew late into the night, yet the area within a radius of hundreds of miles outside the Purple Clouds Holy Land remained brightly lit. The world appeared blood-red, emanating a terrifying power that sent shivers down the spine of onlookers.

“Everyone keeps saying that the Eternal Forbidden Body will be left with injuries that are difficult to heal after transcending the tribulation. I wonder what will happen to Huo Xi?” Su Chen pondered for a moment, extending his divine sense to check his storage ring. Inside it were numerous elixirs, including some of saint level. Among them, some were capable of mending injuries to one’s Dao foundation.

Suddenly, thunder rumbled once more, shaking the very earth like the drumming of heavenly deities. The land quaked, and many distant mountains collapsed due to the shockwaves. The world seemed to crack open, a scene that signified the power of the Heavenly Dao.

This was the legendary Heavenly Dao’s might!

The oppressive aura was undeniable, and everyone present was keenly aware of one fact this was the final tribulation. If Huo Xi survived this without perishing, a new Nirvana Realm powerhouse was about to emerge.

However, what piqued everyone’s curiosity was whether Huo Xi’s Dao foundation would remain intact after breaking through to the Nirvana Realm. If it were to be marred by hidden injuries, her future path might resemble that of other Eternal Forbidden Bodies from past eras.

As everyone contemplated this, another tremendous roar echoed through the skies. Countless lightning dragons streaked across the sky, each resembling a massive mountain, creating a chaotic dance in the void. This was the ninth heavenly tribulation, and its appearance shook the heavens and earth.

This terrifying tribulation challenged the limits of a Nirvana Realm cultivator’s endurance. Even initial-stage Quasi-Saint Realm experts couldn’t help but feel fear. Could this truly be the Nirvana Tribulation? Or was it a world-destroying catastrophe? How could any Nirvana Realm cultivator withstand such a tribulation? Even if Quasi-Saint Realm experts entered, it was likely they wouldn’t emerge unscathed, and there was even the possibility of their demise.

An unknown amount of time passed, perhaps just an instant or maybe several hours. The tribulation clouds in the sky began to disperse, and a slender spiritual light descended from above. This level of spiritual light was not much different from the light seen during the third or fourth heavenly tribulation. It left everyone in a contemplative silence.

Could it be that a spiritual light descending from the heavens signified… Huo Xi’s successful transcendence of the tribulations? In other words, a new Nirvana Realm Eternal Forbidden Body had emerged in this world?

“I wonder if this Eternal Forbidden Body can regain its former glory?” someone muttered, gazing in the direction of the spiritual light with intense interest.

The spiritual light lasted only a brief moment, vanishing completely within a few breaths. Huo Xi’s figure slowly appeared in the sky. She possessed an ethereal beauty with dark hair and fair skin. Her aura was incredibly potent, akin to a vast ocean in the void, the aura of the Nirvana Realm.

“Judging by her appearance, it seems she hasn’t sustained any injuries,” someone remarked. Huo Xi’s current state showed no signs of injury. It appeared that the recent ninth heavenly tribulation hadn’t harmed her in the slightest.

“If she has truly emerged from the ninth heavenly tribulation unscathed, then she will be the most powerful Eternal Forbidden Body in tens of thousands of years!” a Quasi-Saint Realm expert said solemnly. If Huo Xi’s Dao foundation remained unharmed after transcending the Nirvana Tribulation, she could at least cultivate to the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm. At the very least, there wouldn’t be significant obstacles before the arrival of the Saint Tribulation.

The difference between a peak-stage Quasi-Saint Realm Eternal Forbidden Body and one at the peak stage of the Spirit Sea Realm was like a chasm. Although the Eternal Forbidden Body was forsaken by the Heavenly Dao, its physique was terrifying. The fact that Huo Xi had slain several princes of the Golden Crow Clan attested to this. If she could truly reach the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm in the future, she would become a terrifying existence in the East Barrens and even the entire world.

One could say that below the Saint Realm, she would be invincible.

Swoosh!

A soft sound rang out. Huo Xi’s figure began to disappear, and with each step she took, she appeared closer to Su Chen.

She gazed at Su Chen with gratitude and admiration, then offered a slight bow. Her lips parted, and she said, “Thank you for your assistance, Holy Son. Please accept these small tokens of my gratitude!” With that, Huo Xi retrieved an unadorned storage ring and extended it to Su Chen. The ring appeared inconspicuous, but given the circumstances, it couldn’t help but trigger speculation. After all, Huo Xi possessed several items of great interest, including immortal gold.

Now, she was gifting a storage ring, and no one could say for certain whether it contained immortal gold. Nevertheless, most of those present believed that Huo Xi must have given away the immortal gold, and quite a substantial amount at that. It wasn’t impossible that she had given away all the in her possession. After all, Su Chen’s kindness towards her was immeasurable.

“It’s just a small favor,” Su Chen waved his hand, speaking nonchalantly. However, his actions were sincere as he accepted the storage ring without hesitation.

A smile graced his face, indicating that the situation had played out as he had expected. Indeed, there was a fist-sized divine stone inside the storage ring, a piece of immortal gold. While it may have appeared small, it would have caused a storm if discovered in the outside world, possibly even attracting the attention of a Saint Realm expert.

With this piece of immortal gold, Su Chen might not be able to refine an imperial weapon, but once he broke through to the Saint Realm, crafting a peerless sacred weapon wouldn’t be an issue.

“It’s worth it,” Su Chen thought to himself. After all, they had expended so many resources just for this moment. With this piece of immortal gold, even though he couldn’t refine an imperial weapon, it was still possible to create a top-tier sacred weapon after breaking through to the Saint Realm..
