816 The Human Immortal Tribulation (1/2)
Zhou Bao had considered the idea of infusing the Law of Power into his Five Kinds of Qi, but he had not made up his mind yet. To his surprise, this time the Primordial Sword Spirit made the decision for him.
The Primordial Sword Spirit was one of his Primordial Spirits of Three Separations. He seemed to be an independent person, but in fact, he only inherited a part of Zhou Bao's personality. Thus, he was a little bigoted, always acted on a whim instead of thinking through the best possible consequences of his actions and was like a man with a complete personality. Because of his impulsive action, Zhou Bao had to place a gamble on the Law of Power.
Seeing that Zhou Bao had added the Law of Power into his Qi, the other two primordial spirits naturally did not hesitate any more. They both grabbed a Law of Power and integrated it into their own Qi.
They spent a long period refining the Qi in this way. When they opened their eyes again, they found that each of them was holding a fine string of Qi, which was one of the Five Kinds of Qi they had refined.
After the refining of the four out of the Five Kinds of Qi was successful, Zhou Bao heaved a sigh of relief. However, there was more work to be done. Due to the mental connections among Zhou Bao and his three primordial spirits, the balance of the four of the Five Kinds of Qi they collected and refined was perfect. But now, they had to refine the fifth kind of Qi, the Earth Qi, all at the same time. Only by doing so could they guarantee that the Earth Qi they extracted was consistent with the previous four kinds of Qi.
For Zhou Bao, everything was right on track. When the fifth kind of Qi was successfully refined, another five days had lapsed.
”It's done!” Staring at the five jets of radiance emitted by the Five Kinds of Qi as well as the Law of Power glistening among them, Zhou Bao suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled all the five jets of radiance at one go. Meanwhile, the five damaged pieces of the Law of Power also combined into one, forming a simple but complete talisman.
Yes, it was complete!
This was the law that Zhou Bao needed, a complete talisman of the fundamental Law of Power, which was highly variable and had boundless potential. But unfortunately, right now, this law was useless to him and it did not enhance his power at all, because his current power was already too strong and exceeded the utmost power limit of a normal practitioner. He could break the most fundamental Law of Power.
Well, at least it's not bad, we didn't throw in any lame laws!” However, he had no idea that to the other practitioners, the Law of Power was the lamest.
”Boom!”
The moment when Zhou Bao gathered together all the Five Qis in the Chest, a clap of thunder sounded.
A tribulation was coming!
The Divine Immortal did not need to endure any tribulation, so they were also called Carefree Immortals. But Zhou Bao was not a Divine Immortal. He was a Human Immortal, who had to undergo some tribulations. Thus, when the Five Qis in the Chest assembled together, a connection with the Void Universe was made, which naturally triggered the Human Immortal Tribulation.
Zhou Bao wanted to get up when he heard the clap of thunder, but suddenly his body stiffened. At the same time, all three of his primordial spirits sensed something. The Primordial Poison Spirit and the Primordial Sword Spirit instantly turned into two streams of light and zoomed into the spot between his eyebrows; meanwhile the Primordial Fire Spirit transformed into a stream of fire and dashed into the Furnace of Immortality.
Zhou Bao's body became rigid. He felt a cold draught of air rising from his feet, spreading all over his body and then it disappeared.
”Creak, creak, creak!”
An unknown period of time passed and Zhou Bao's paralyzed body moved only slightly during this period.
Gradually, he regained his normal flexibility.
Was this a tribulation? A tribulation of the Human Immortal?
The inexplicable cold air appeared so abruptly that Zhou Bao was overwhelmed by it. By the time he realized what had happened, it had already vanished.
If an ordinary Earthly Immortal had encountered this air, he would have become a large chunk of ice and even his spirit would have been frozen. But Zhou Bao was different. His body contained the Mysterious Icy Divine Light which he had practiced for so long. This time the Ice Tribulation which might have killed most Human Immortals in a split second, merely made his body a little rigid. For Zhou Bao, it had been just a piece of cake.
Why did the Ice Tribulation come? Doesn't this clearly show that they're going to go easy on me?” Zhou Bao murmured in his mind. But before he could think this over, he was alerted by a clap of black Heavenly Thunder which suddenly descended from the hollow.
”Boom!”
A jet of light flashed behind Zhou Bao's head, and the Flipping Sky Seal instantly emerged over him. The black thunderbolt hit the Flipping Sky Seal and the latter crumbled. Instead of backing off, the streak of thunderbolt hurtled down and crashed into Zhou Bao's fists.
”Cool!” Zhou Bao bawled out loudly and immediately took three steps back. But surprisingly, as he retreated, the meteorite he rented was quietly reduced to ashes and dispersed in the pneuma torrents of the Central Star Area.
”What happened?”
”What's going on there?”
”A meteorite crumbled!”
