Chapter 169 The Calamity of Pills Descends
The ability for cultivators to sense each other using their sixth sense is of extraordinary significance. Generally speaking, the sixth sense can only sense close relatives or those who have left a spiritual imprint.
Lu Qianqian awakened her sixth sense and the first thing she sensed was Zhuo Yang. How do you calculate that?
Lu Qianqian's mind raced, her face flushed, and she gritted her teeth, muttering, "That jerk is definitely not one of my closest relatives, so he..."
The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. The key issue wasn't just a one-night stand, but that her sixth sense could detect a cultivator, even though he wasn't a close relative. That meant they were... destined to be a couple!
Only those destined to be together can sense each other.
"You stinky man, you haven't even conquered the world yet, so stop disturbing my peace of mind!" Lu Qianqian said with a sour face, finally managing to calm down and continue recovering her true energy.
Zhuo Yang, who was far away in a cave in the belly of Tombstone Mountain in Lingzhou, also inexplicably sensed Lü Qianqian at this moment.
"My God!" Zhuo Yang was so excited that he almost jumped up, losing his composure as a demon lord, but he managed to sit cross-legged.
Even so, his eyes betrayed him, as if the earthquake had affected the ancient well, causing ripples to spread.
Trying to calm his mind, Zhuo Yang focused on sensing, and the image of Lü Qianqian reappeared in his mind.
There's a thrilling sense of secretly watching...
"Little Phoenix, I've made up my mind about you. You'll never escape my grasp, not even in this lifetime!" Zhuo Yang opened his palm and made a fist.
Then he raised an eyebrow. A predestined partner?
"Hahaha..." Zhuo Yang burst into loud laughter, unable to control himself.
Daoist partners are ordained by Heaven; their fates are intertwined, one prospers and the other suffers. It's not something that just any two cultivators can become Daoist partners; that's merely marriage for ordinary people.
True destined partners don't need any rituals. As long as they can sense each other with their sixth sense, it means they are a match made in heaven, a couple arranged by the heavens!
It should be understood that among the five realms—the Immortal Realm, the Mortal Realm, the Demon Realm, the Underworld, and the Celestial Realm—the number of Daoist couples arranged by Heaven is extremely limited, and each couple is a lucky one blessed with great fortune. Although each couple experiences various hardships, those who can stay together to the end become powerful rulers in their respective regions.
"Squeak!"
Little Diao ran in, looking at Zhuo Yang nervously, and quickly wrote on the writing board: "Master, what happened? What are you laughing at?"
Zhuo Yang stopped laughing and looked at her calmly: "I just thought of something funny. You continue to protect me!"
Xiao Diao nodded blankly, staring at Zhuo Yang, feeling that something good was about to happen.
The master has never shown any surprise in his eyes. Could it be that he has refined a precious elixir?
With a whoosh, she ran to Zhuo Yang's side, eager to see the refined elixir.
Zhuo Yang waved his hand and put the three Luan Spider Blood Pills into his Qiankun bag, then glanced at him sideways: "Little brat, are you not going to listen to my orders anymore?"
"Squeak!"
The little rascal quickly bowed and tried to please them, then fled as fast as it could.
All the way there, she thought resentfully, "The Phoenix Spider Blood Pill, three of them! Do they think I don't know them?"
"My master wants to find a woman for dual cultivation, and he didn't even let me know! I'm so angry!"
Upon reaching the cave entrance, she vented her anger on stones, injuring her foot again and rolling on the ground in agony...
Inside the cave, Zhuo Yang took a deep breath and took out the Crystal Clear Stone.
When it was as big as natural glass, Zhuo Yang used the Samadhi Demon Fire to quickly refine it, and it finally turned into three waxy white Void Clarity Pills.
"When the inner demon reappears, I can completely destroy it, and from then on, my Dao heart will be as stable as Mount Tai!" Zhuo Yang's eyes revealed a hint of coldness.
The inner demon was devoured by Liu Yubao, but that was ultimately done by external force. Heaven would never allow external force to break the inner demon; cultivators must rely on their own willpower to break it.
This is the process of proving the truth, and there is no possibility of faking it.
With the Void Clarity Pill, Zhuo Yang gained an extra three points of confidence when he was proving the Dao.
"I hope the next time my inner demons manifest, it won't be when I'm facing an enemy!" Zhuo Yang shook his head and took out the Chenhuo Dew and the Golden Wing Butterfly from his Qiankun Bag.
The Golden Winged Butterfly is said to be formed from the fragments of the souls of cultivators who failed to transcend tribulations or immortals who died in calamities. Each one is extremely precious and contains extremely strong spiritual energy.
The Chenhuo Dew is no ordinary thing; it is a strange fire between heaven and earth. It scorches the dew that condenses on the nearby rocks at dawn, and then dries it back into water vapor. This process is repeated countless times, and the dew that eventually condenses contains powerful fire elemental energy. Its essence is water, which is very mysterious.
When these two ingredients are mixed together, they can be refined into the legendary Golden Winged Starfire Pill. As long as one pill is taken, a cultivator can form a Nascent Soul even with their eyes closed, making it extremely safe.
The alchemy process was very complicated. Two hours later, the demonic fire dissipated, and two golden pills appeared in Zhuo Yang's palm.
"A top-grade precious pill! The highest-level pills in the mortal realm. Even powerful beings at the Mahayana or Tribulation Transcending stages would find these two pills irresistible. Taking them would greatly increase their chances of transcending the tribulation." Zhuo Yang smiled and quickly put the two pills into his Qiankun bag.
At that moment, dark clouds gathered over Tombstone Mountain, appearing almost instantly. By the time Little Diao, who was guarding the cave entrance, noticed them, the sky had turned pitch black.
Lightning crackled, as if a heavenly tribulation was about to descend at any moment.
The little darling trembled, knelt on the ground, and clasped its cute little hands together in a gesture of respect.
"Heaven above, my lord Zhuo Yang is merely refining pills, is there any need to unleash such a powerful heavenly tribulation?"
With a loud crack, thunder roared down, pinning the little rascal to the ground, where it dared not make a move.
"Heavenly tribulation?"
At the entrance of Manor 101, Zhou Hanxiao stood up and looked up at the sky with a solemn expression: "Holy crap, what did Zhuo Yang refine that could actually trigger a heavenly tribulation?"
As the manager of the southeastern region of Longting, Zhou Hanxiao was knowledgeable, but she was still terrified by the sudden heavenly tribulation and dared not move, fearing that the heavenly tribulation would target her.
For mortals to defy the heavens and cultivate, the Heavenly Dao will only send down a Heavenly Tribulation to test them when they ascend to immortality. Not to mention Zhou Hanxiao's current cultivation level, even experts in the Mahayana or Tribulation Transcending stages would have to be trembling in fear before the Heavenly Tribulation, as they would die and their cultivation would be extinguished if they were not careful.
"Heaven's will, humph!" Zhuo Yang sneered a few times, then leaped out of the cave and stood proudly on a boulder at the highest point of Tombstone Mountain.
When the Heavenly Tribulation descends, it will not remain dormant. The Golden Winged Starfire Pill transcends the rules of the mortal realm, and the Heavenly Dao will surely destroy it.
Amidst the dark clouds, lightning rolled and the overwhelming pressure made it almost impossible for Zhuo Yang to straighten his body, but his stubbornness only made him stand up straight.
"A mere Pill Tribulation? This lord needs you just the way you are!"
With his arms outstretched, Zhuo Yang wore a defiant and wicked smile.
The lightning in the dark clouds suddenly disappeared, but the oppressive force became even stronger, and the entire world seemed to fall silent at that moment.
The next moment, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket, carrying the momentum of ten thousand galloping horses, struck Zhuo Yang on the head.
A loud crack shook the entire Lingzhou. The trees on Tombstone Mountain swayed, and the wild grass was completely flattened to the ground.
As the lightning and fire subsided, a figure, charred black all over, still stood tall.
"The first one!"
The dark figure opened its mouth, bared its teeth, and roared.
Immediately afterward, a second bolt of lightning descended, as thick as a water bucket, with immense pressure, fiercely striking Zhuo Yang's head.
In an instant, the entire mountain seemed to fall silent. Then, a violent shockwave nearly overturned the entire mountain, causing all the large trees near the summit to fall. The shockwave rushed up to the mountainside at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The little darling was blown into the cave and didn't dare to get up.
At the main entrance, Zhou Hanxiao's clothes clung tightly to his body in the wind, his face grave: "Zhuo Yang, if you don't die, I'll avoid you from now on. You've attracted the heavenly tribulation; being with you means I'll only get struck by lightning!"
