Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

That feeling is hard to describe with words, but with Qin Yu’s understanding of the Lotus Platform Realm, this seems to be the so-called Dao Rhyme between heaven and earth.

For ordinary cultivators at the Lotus Platform Realm, they might spend their entire lives unable to perceive the existence of Dao Rhyme, an extremely prolonged process.

Only the Innate Dao Spirit Body is an exception.

Just like the Great Yan Empress.

Just like the Princess.

However...

Qin Yu’s current situation seems to be a little different.

He couldn’t quite tell what type of Dao Rhyme he was sensing.

Qin Yu quietly contemplated.

It seemed a bit... mixed?!

With the earth’s thickness and fire’s fury... Qin Yu felt as if he could connect with any type of Dao Rhyme in heaven and earth, as long as he willed it through his Nascent Soul.

Around him, the Dao Rhyme in heaven and earth was almost visible to the naked eye.

Qin Yu still didn’t know whether it was due to the Nascent Soul or the Lifebound Space.

According to Yan Yu, it’s because of this space, to an extent that even some blessed lands in the world cannot compare to the Lifebound Space.

This might also be why the little rabbit likes to stay inside.

...

Am I now considered to be in the Lotus Platform Realm?

Qin Yu also didn’t have an answer.

The Lotus Platform in this world is essential, related to the power of manifesting the Dao Rhyme in heaven and earth.

A cultivator can build up to nine Lotus Platforms at most.

For each Lotus Platform built, after stepping into Foundation Establishment, the power of Heaven and Earth Dao Rhyme they can engage increases by one-tenth.

With one Lotus Platform, even with transcendent comprehension, fortuitously grasping a type of Dao Rhyme, one could only exert one-tenth of its power upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.

But nine Lotus Platforms can exert ninety percent!

However, Qin Yu can directly sense and mobilize the power of Dao Rhyme in heaven and earth through his Nascent Soul, surpassing the concept of the Lotus Platform Realm.

Still, he doesn’t yet know how much power he can manifest through the Nascent Soul.

Could it be, he can fully unleash the power of Dao Rhyme?

If truly so, wouldn’t he have a significant advantage compared to cultivators with nine Lotus Platforms in the future?!

This isn’t merely a difference between eighty and ninety percent, complete manifestation is absolute overpowering!

The Nascent Soul coalesced.

Qin Yu gazed at the Lotus Platform, where his Nascent Soul appeared as a miniature version of himself, a slight curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

At the moment the Nascent Soul solidified, drastic changes occurred externally, turning the originally billowing tribulation clouds more terrifying.

The entire region of the Fallen God Abyss seemed as if the sky was collapsing, engulfed in darkness and silence!

The terrifying heavenly might permeated the space between heaven and earth, causing even the Empress to feel unease, withdrawing from the Celestial Tribulation area early.

Even from afar, goosebumps rose beneath her dragon robe.

But the Empress was still puzzled and utterly confused.

Isn’t that guy just breaking through to the Lotus Platform Realm, what exactly did he do to provoke a Celestial Tribulation?!

A dignified Great Yan Empress like herself was actually somewhat unable to see through him.

"It seems the Celestial Tribulation is unavoidable."

Until his essence, energy, and spirit fully recovered, Qin Yu then looked toward the outside world through the Lifebound Space.

The sky had darkened more, the tribulation clouds roiling, seemingly searching for something, lingering for a long time.

"Husband, did you cause this Celestial Tribulation?"

As Qin Yu stood up, Yan Yu, who had long been guarding by his side, couldn’t resist asking.

Seeing Qin Yu’s sheepish smile, Yan Yu was instantly soothed.

This means the remnant waves of the Celestial Tribulation they encountered on their way back to the Yunlan Domain, when she accompanied Qin Yu as a Guardian, was triggered by his breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm?!

No wonder the fluctuations from that tribulation were vastly different from those recorded.

"I’ll explain when I get back."

Qin Yu took a deep breath, his gaze shifting to the outside.

"You..."

Yan Yu’s expression tightened. Is he planning to face the Celestial Tribulation head-on?

This is heavenly might!

"If I can’t withstand it, I’ll come back."

Not wanting his beloved wife to worry, Qin Yu showed a hint of a smile, pretending to be relaxed.

Initially, he didn’t pay much attention to the Lifebound Space, merely treating it as a hiding place, where time was more abundant.

Now, after these experiences, he understood the importance of the Lifebound Space.

Even the Celestial Tribulation couldn’t lock onto him.

Doesn’t this mean the Lifebound Space is equivalent to an independent... world outside?!

"Then be very careful."

Yan Yu tried her best to suppress the worries in her heart, refraining from stepping forward to stop him.

The Celestial Tribulation outside gave her an extremely dangerous feeling, but for some reason, she had an inexplicable faith in her husband.

"Boom!..."

As soon as Qin Yu stepped out from the Lifebound Space, a muffled thunderous sound suddenly erupted from the long-dormant tribulation clouds above.

At the moment he appeared, the Empress’s gaze fell upon him.

The Empress clearly felt that Qin Yu’s aura had changed...

Though it was just a breakthrough from Golden Core to Lotus Platform, why did it feel to her as if it were Foundation Establishment?!

Because there were waves of Dao Rhyme on Qin Yu.

Although still very faint.

The Empress was taken aback for a moment.

Could it be, Qin Yu also possesses an Innate Dao Spirit Body?!

Impossible.

He still possesses an Upper Grade Dao Bone.

Although puzzled, it is far less shocking than the arrival of a celestial tribulation, as the Empress sensed the Dao Rhyme from his body.

After a moment, the Empress furrowed her brows.

Very strange, it was clearly the fluctuation of a Dao Rhyme, yet it did not belong to any known power of Dao Rhyme.

Even faintly, the Empress could clearly feel that Qin Yu was absorbing the Dao Rhyme from Heaven and Earth.

Is he already starting to establish his foundation on the Dao?!

Hiss!...

"Qin Yu, are you sure you can handle this?"

The Empress glanced at the darkened horizon, where the power of this heavenly tribulation, although far less than a Harmonization tribulation, contained terrifying heavenly might enough to easily crush a newly-advanced Lotus Platform Realm cultivator.

"I’ll give it a try."

Qin Yu looked up at the sky, without a hint of retreat in his eyes.

Gazing at his resolute side profile, the Empress hesitated slightly before refraining from further persuasion.

Qin Yu differs from the cultivators she’s encountered; this fellow is deeply loyal yet cherishes his life, seeming unlikely to be reckless.

The Empress did not give further instructions and retreated once more.

The heavenly tribulation was about to descend; if she got too close, the power of the tribulation would increase exponentially.

As for assisting Qin Yu in resisting the tribulation?

The Empress never considered it.

After all, if she dared to intervene against the awesome might, the tribulation, originally just a Lotus Platform Realm tribulation, would immediately transform into a major Harmonization tribulation.

By then, not only Qin Yu but even she would likely perish under the heavenly tribulation.

"Come on!"

If escape is impossible, then face it!

"Hoo..."

In an instant, the previously silent world erupted with gales.

The already gloomy sky darkened as if spilled with ink, turning pitch black. In the sky, thunderclouds tumbled, occasionally flashing with electric snakes, illuminating the world and creating an oppressive atmosphere in the area.

Amidst the rolling thunderclouds, a massive vortex slowly formed, making the heavy sky seem on the verge of collapsing.

"Chichi..."

Fearsome silver electric snakes continuously shuttled through the thunderclouds.

Qin Yu took a deep breath, staring intently at the tribulation clouds above.

At this time, the tribulation clouds above resembled a millstone, causing an extreme fear to rise suddenly from his heart.

"Husband, be careful!"

In the Lifebound Space, his wives gathered, observing the outside scene, filled with worry in their hearts.

Little Ling’Er tightly clenched her small hands; she used so much force that her fingertips turned pale, yet she continued to fixate on the figure facing the heavenly tribulation, eyes full of worry.

Yin Qinghe wasn’t sure how to console Little Ling’Er; in reality, she felt the same panic herself. In the end, she silently moved behind Little Ling’Er, using her broad embrace to support the girl’s small head, hoping to provide a bit more security.

"Boom!..."

The next moment, a silver thunderbolt as thick as an arm tore through the tribulation clouds, carrying a destructive aura as it crashed down towards the figure below.

In the Lifebound Space, the faces of the women turned pale, their beautiful eyes filled with a nearly overflowing worry.

"Break!"

More shocking to them was Qin Yu’s reaction to the terrifying thunder tribulation. Instead of evading, he stepped forward, launching a punch under their incredulous gazes.

"Boom!"

As the thunder tribulation crashed down, at the moment of contact between fist and thunder, the terrifying thunder power instantly tore his sleeve, revealing solid muscle contours hidden beneath.

"Is this guy’s flesh stronger than a barbarian’s?!"

From a distance, the Empress’s pupils contracted, a glimmer of astonishment flashing in her eyes.

Lingtian Peak possesses Barbarian Race bloodline, thus a tough flesh body, yet this barbarian at the Lotus Platform Realm didn’t exhibit such strength.

To shatter the first thunder tribulation with sheer physical power?!

If not seen with her own eyes, the Empress could hardly believe it.

In the Lifebound Space, the gathered wives felt some relief, Su Xihe giving Qin Yu a resentful glance, secretly breathing a long sigh of relief.

This rebellious disciple is truly a bull!

Initially, she thought only a bull would exhaust itself, but now she sees he perhaps held back some strength during their shared cultivation.

With merely the displayed physical prowess once unleashed, she, as the master, might not manage to endure.

"Chichi..."

Electric snakes howled as Qin Yu slowly retracted his fist, his body gently shaking, causing the previously loose electric snakes on his skin to vanish.

Relying on the Pure Yang Divine Body Fourth Layer, the first thunder tribulation didn’t cause him any injury; on the contrary, it allowed him to refine his flesh with that thunder power.

Yet, Qin Yu was not careless, as the thunderclouds in the sky remained, and that strike hadn’t diminished even a tenth of their power.

"Boom!"

Sure enough, within mere breaths, another large thunderbolt descended from the millstone-like thunderclouds above.

Qin Yu’s gaze was sharp; he stood firmly like a mountain, with no intention of throwing a punch.

"Boom!"

The next moment, the thunderbolt appeared, countless terrifying electric snakes howling.

The Empress’s eyes narrowed.

This flesh body, isn’t it too strong?

As electric snakes howled, his well-defined muscles were distinctly contoured yet didn’t appear overly bulky.

Whether this fellow intentional or not, this tribulation actually destroyed all his robes.

If it were other women witnessing this scene, they might shyly avert their gaze.

But the Empress merely glanced, her indifferent gaze devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Heh!

Just grew a tail, that’s all.
