Chapter 220 Old Man Wu
The opposing sect is indeed quite powerful, capable of sending out more than ten Nascent Soul stage cultivators and hundreds of Golden Core stage cultivators at once to hunt down the enemy.
They were stunned when they saw the enemy suddenly switch from single-player mode to group combat.
Faced with an enemy ten times their size, they naturally and quickly became prisoners of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and the Nine-Story Iron Pagoda.
Wu Tao naturally understood that the fact that the other side could easily send out so many high-level cultivators meant that their sect must have a Nascent Soul stage expert in charge.
After killing the people and cleaning up the battlefield, Wu Tao immediately began to flee.
Unfortunately, he was fast, but the speed of a Nascent Soul cultivator was even faster.
With just one palm strike, Wu Tao instinctively knew his death was imminent.
Fortunately, the personal space was too overpowered; even though the Nascent Soul cultivator used all his methods, he still couldn't find the other party.
It's just that his secrets were too great; otherwise, his ability to escape from a Nascent Soul cultivator at the level of a Deity Transformation expert would be nothing short of extraordinary.
Wu Tao had been in his personal space for fifty years, and he refused to believe that the other party would spend fifty years here waiting for him.
Wu Tao's original cultivation level was still some distance from the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, but after recovering from his injury, his cultivation level reached the peak of the Great Perfection stage.
Breaking through from the Nascent Soul stage to the Deity Transformation stage no longer requires the aid of elixirs; instead, it places great demands on the cultivator's mental state.
Wu Tao emerged from his personal space and, as expected, found no enemies around. He then traveled discreetly until he arrived in Qin territory, where he randomly chose a city and opened a toy shop.
Here, he lived like a real mortal, from youth to middle age to old age.
The neighbors around here have changed several times over. Take the Wang family on the left, for example. The original Wang Shitou has been gone for decades.
When Wu Tao first came here, Wang Shitou was only six years old. His favorite thing to do every day was to come to Wu Tao's shop and watch him carve all kinds of dolls.
Wu Tao later watched the other person grow from a young child into a young adult, then get married and have children, and then the other person's children also get married and have children.
The neighbors gradually came to understand that Wu Tao was different from them. After all, this was the cultivation world, and even Wu Tao's hair changed over time.
But the others aren't stupid either; how could an ordinary person live to be over a hundred years old and still be healthy?
Everyone tacitly guarded this secret, and Wu Tao pretended to be oblivious. He was here to experience the joys and sorrows of mortals, and even if he were discovered, he wouldn't be afraid with his Nascent Soul stage strength.
More than a hundred years have passed in a flash. Through experiencing the world of ordinary people, Wu Tao's state of mind has finally broken through.
When he sensed his tribulation clouds looming overhead, Wu Tao began to frantically fly towards the place he had chosen for his tribulation.
As for his own safety, Wu Tao wasn't worried at all. The tribulation of breaking through from the Nascent Soul stage to the Deity Transformation stage meant that anyone who interfered would suffer a powerful backlash.
Even if Wu Tao was seriously injured during his tribulation, once he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, his injuries would instantly heal completely.
This is also the rule of Heaven. Starting from the Nascent Soul Tribulation, cultivators will face the most dangerous lightning tribulation every time.
If you can't get through it, you'll turn to ashes, and your true essence will return to the world.
In the past, Heaven would still reward cultivators with some Heavenly Dew. After absorbing it, even if a cultivator was on the verge of death, they would instantly recover.
This is why Wu Tao dared to randomly choose an uninhabited area as his breakthrough point.
Wu Tao is now completely focused on dealing with the tribulation lightning, and he can't care less about the divine senses of the Nascent Soul stage experts around him. (Readers are hotly debating: What exactly happened? Come join the discussion.)
Fortunately, these Nascent Soul cultivators all understood the power of the lightning tribulation, and apart from placing their divine senses here, none of them dared to come over in person.
Nine lightning tribulations, each more powerful than the last.
Even those powerful beings who had long since broken through to the Nascent Soul stage would be terrified upon seeing this, instantly recalling their own miserable state back then.
It took three days for the nine lightning tribulations to finally subside, and Wu Tao was completely transformed into a pitch-black monkey.
After the lightning tribulation passed, a colorful protective shield suddenly appeared and enveloped Wu Tao.
Those Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't help but reveal greedy eyes, but unfortunately they knew that only those undergoing tribulation could enjoy such rewards at this time.
In the past, some powerful beings have broken into the radiant glow of a cultivator undergoing tribulation, only to be directly locked onto by the new lightning tribulation and eventually turned to ashes.
After this happened, no one would ever try to steal the Heavenly Dew again.
Wu Tao quickly recovered in the glow of the sunset. His body, which was originally covered in blood, became smoother and more delicate, and his appearance even returned to that of a young man in his twenties.
When Wu Tao emerged from the rosy light, he was already wearing a Taoist robe. He then casually collected the communication jade slips left in the air around him and teleported away from the spot.
These communication jade slips were all sent by Nascent Soul cultivators. They observed that Wu Tao had successfully broken through the tribulation, and they knew that the cultivation world had gained another Nascent Soul cultivator.
These communication jade slips were all sent by Nascent Soul cultivators. They observed that Wu Tao had successfully broken through the tribulation, and they knew that the cultivation world had gained another Nascent Soul cultivator.
Since the other party has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, they are now fellow Daoists on the same level as them.
In this way, everyone would naturally not mind making another friend, but they also know that the other person has just broken through and doesn't have time to chat with them.
The communication jade slip is a good medium. Once this Nascent Soul cultivator's cultivation is stable, contact can be gradually established.
Wu Tao didn't have much contact with those Nascent Soul stage experts here. Instead, once his cultivation was stable, he immediately headed towards the central region.
The cultivation world of the Song Kingdom has been quite turbulent lately.
The Yan Kingdom, millions of kilometers away from the Song Kingdom, has a Zhentian Gate. The cultivation world of the Yan Kingdom originally had three major sects.
The three major sects of Yan State—Zhentianmen, Huayi Sect, and Fantianmen—are roughly equal in strength.
Each sect has no fewer than thirty Nascent Soul stage ancestors, but the three major sects haven't had anyone break through to the Divine Transformation stage for many years.
Until three hundred years ago, a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly appeared at Zhentian Gate.
Speaking of this great power, he was a true prodigy. Zhao Yun was discovered to have a heavenly spiritual root when he was ten years old and his spiritual roots were tested.
At that time, the Zhao family regarded him as someone who would bring prosperity to the family, and Zhao Yun did not disappoint everyone's expectations.
He broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of twenty, the Golden Core stage at the age of fifty, and the Nascent Soul stage at the age of one hundred and fifty.
At that time, some people in the cultivation world of Yan Kingdom said that Zhao Yun was the most promising candidate to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in Yan Kingdom within a thousand years.
For this reason, the other two major sects in Yan, Huayi Sect and Fantian Sect, even carried out some hunting and sniping operations specifically targeting Zhao Yun.
Zhentianmen had long been on guard against the other two major sects. Everyone knew that once Zhentianmen had a Nascent Soul cultivator, Zhentianmen would immediately be able to suppress dozens of surrounding countries.
After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, Zhao Yun disappeared from public view. Even though other sects had been searching for him, they couldn't find him.
When Zhao Yun reappeared in the cultivation world of Yan, he was already a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator.
To celebrate, Zhen Tianmen issued invitations to numerous sects from surrounding countries.
