Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 850: Chapter 88: The Three Calamities of the Nascent Soul

Long Long possesses a kind of magical treasure that enables long-distance transport of cultivators, and this news quickly spread among the Feathered Clan and the Dragon Clan.

The Great Elder personally rushed to the frontline, and privately reprimanded Long Long:

“Next time such a thing happens, the first thing to do is to inform our clan.”

Long Long naturally knew what he meant, it was simply that the Feathered Clan knew this news before the Dragon Clan, which was a bit annoying.

Therefore, he tactfully reminded the other party: “If you want to use this treasure to gain a war advantage, you can’t bypass the Feathered Clan anyway, so it would be better to use it to gain their trust and show our sincerity.”

Qin Chaocang sighed. He didn’t intend to blame Long Long anyway, and then changed the subject, saying:

“That magical treasure of yours is truly a strange object. The White Tiger Divine General would never expect… In fact, using it to rescue in Yuanjiang City is under-utilizing it.”

Upon hearing this, Long Long was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized:

Wow, our clan is so ruthless!

The meaning of Qin Chaocang was that since they wanted to catch them off guard, it would be better to strike decisively the first time, such as sending a large number of cultivators to the imperial capital and smashing the Qilin’s lair.

As long as they can cripple the Qilin Clan, who cares about the defense of Yuanjiang City then?

However, since Long Long had already informed the Feathered Clan first, the attitude of the Feathered Clan also needed to be considered. Since Qin Chaocang said this, Feng Yan must advocate for rescuing Yuanjiang City first, hence why Qin Chaocang said “the clan should be informed beforehand”.

“Forget it, the top priority now is to quickly enhance your cultivation realm.” Qin Chaocang waved his hand, “You go back to the clan first and see the Ancestral Azure Dragon.”

Long Long nodded in agreement, and then asked:

“What about Long Hu?”

Qin Chaocang, unable to help but smile wryly, simply waved his hand:

“Let her go back with you!”

The battlefield won’t lack for a warrior like Long Hu, but if her absence caused Long Long to have a gap in his mental state and fail the tribulation, the clan would absolutely not allow such an event.

Now that the teleportation effect of the Mortal World Map is highly related to Long Long’s own realm and cultivation level, his cultivation is the most urgent matter for the clan, without a doubt.

Long Long then handed over his duties to Qin Sitong, called Long Hu, and together they left the battlefield and headed to the Eastern State.

Upon returning to the Jianmu Shrine, the Ancestral Azure Dragon quickly met with the two of them, and the first thing he did was to inquire about Long Long’s cultivation realm:

“How refined is your bloodline now?”

“To answer the Elder,” Long Long respectfully said, “the demon core has now dissipated into my limbs and body, it can no longer be seen.”

“Oh.” The Ancestral Azure Dragon also understood.

The disappearance of the demon core indicates that the Transformation Realm is nearly at completion, just waiting for a breakthrough to enter the Dong Yuan Realm.

This Long Long… It hasn’t been long since he transformed, how can he be advancing to the Dong Yuan Realm so quickly?

Is the bloodline rank on his body truly exceptional, enabling the rapid advancement in cultivation as if traveling a thousand miles in a day?

Ancestral Azure Dragon looked toward Long Hu and thought that Long Long’s bloodline is far superior to Long Hu’s, indicating that Long Long’s marital matters should be handled with extra caution.

“Since you’ve achieved Perfection in the Transformation Realm, let me explain the matters of Tribulation,” Ancestral Azure Dragon patiently spoke to him about the considerations when advancing to the Dong Yuan Realm.

For the Human Race in the Nascent Soul Realm, the formed Nascent Soul appears like a child; for the Demon Race in the Dong Yuan Realm, the formed “Nascent Soul” is an ethereal image of the original body. For instance, if a member of the Azure Dragon Clan enters the Dong Yuan Realm, a small blue dragon appears in the Dantian.

Despite the difference in appearance, the Nascent Souls possess various other abilities, such as hosting Divine Sense, even the Soul, manipulating Magical Treasures with divided attention, and even possessing others’ bodies – the ethereal image of Dong Yuan of the Demon Race is also capable of these, with no fundamental differences between the two.

The information Ancestral Azure Dragon provided at this time was essentially similar to what other Human Race members had investigated.

Firstly, the Nascent Infant Heavenly Tribulation is far more challenging than the Core Condensation Tribulation. Many cultivators of the Demon Race manage well during the Transformation Core Condensing phase, but fail to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation when condensing the Dong Yuan, directly being killed by Divine Thunder, with countless such cases.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so few cultivators in the Dong Yuan Realm compared to the Transformation Realm, after all, there’s such a significant filter in place.

Secondly, the tribulations of the Nascent Soul Realm are not singular but three types, collectively known as the “Three Disasters.”

Chen Guanshui, while forming his First Grade Golden Core in the past, faced the Five Elements Tribulation, the Heart Devil Tribulation, and the Yin Yang Tribulation. Among these, the Heart Devil Tribulation involves outside Demonic interference and has no relation to the Heavenly Dao, which actually only sends down one type of calamity, the “Thunder Tribulation.”

The Five Elements Tribulation is the Five Elements Attribute of Thunder Tribulation, and the Yin Yang Tribulation is the Yin Yang Attribute of Thunder Tribulation, fundamentally all being Thunder Tribulations.

But from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, one needs to simultaneously transcend the “Thunder Tribulation,” “Fire Tribulation,” and “Wind Tribulation.”

The Thunder Tribulation needs no further explanation, still involving heavenly Thunder Tribulation striking you – these can be preemptively shattered using various formations, Daoist Magic, Magical Treasures, and Flying Swords, however, the Tribulation Lightning is often dense and powerful, testing the cultivator’s True Yuan richness and wealth of resources significantly.

The Fire Tribulation, being Yin Fire, will spontaneously ignite from the Yongquan Point at the sole of the foot, gradually burning upwards along the legs, entering the limbs and body parts, and eventually burning directly into the Dantian, resulting in instant death.

Because it ignites suddenly from the sole of the foot, it cannot be intercepted or dodged like Thunder Tribulation; once the Yin Fire is detected, the cultivator has already been targeted, so efforts must focus on how to counteract the Yin Fire.

Ancestral Azure Dragon’s advice is to refine the Body Refining Secret Technique of the Jiaolong in the clan to the extreme, so when the Yin Fire arises, immediately suppress it with the power of Dragon Blood, trying not to let the Yin Fire rise above the ankles.

The last Wind Tribulation is “Guiao Wind,” the challenge being its invisibility and silence, directly blowing into the crown of the head, damaging the Sea of Consciousness, causing instantaneous death to the cultivator.

This Wind Tribulation is the hardest to guard against, as you might be caught up guarding against Thunder Tribulation and Yin Fire, completely unaware of the Guiao Wind strike. Unlike Yin Fire, which attacks from the top of the head directly targeting the Sea of Consciousness, it is impossible to defend against – one must evade beforehand, or it’s beyond recovery once struck.

The numerous and dense Thunder Tribulations, the unavoidable Yin Fire, and the indefensible Guiao Wind, these three combined are called the Three Disasters, forming the greatest calamity for breaking through from the Golden Core Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Of course, the Heavenly Demon is still active during this period, seizing any opportunity to join forces with the Three Disasters to completely annihilate you, no matter if you’re undergoing Tribulation or not.

After understanding the situation, Long Long bid farewell to Ancestral Azure Dragon and left, secretly strategizing in his mind.

For Thunder Tribulation, the old tactics apply—first use disposable Magical Treasures, Flying Swords, etc., to save True Yuan, then rely on formations for endurance, use Daoist Magic for sweeping, and Flying Swords for defense, altogether testing whose Magical Competition abilities are superior.

Since there’s no dodging Yin Fire, defense capabilities must be prioritized. Thus, although he is in the Eastern Emperor Realm, he can’t undergo Tribulation as Long Long but must rely on Ling Yunpo’s Innate Sword Bone to withstand it. If all else fails, he might even ask Ah Jing to burn Essence and forcefully suppress the Yin Fire regardless of injuries.

Guiao Wind seems to be the most troublesome, yet it might also be the simplest. Others might find it hard to detect the assault of Guiao Wind, but Long Long firmly believes in his scanning ability being Invincible; how could Ah Jing scan the incoming Guiao Wind without alerting me in advance?

Definitely not right!

“Ah right, right, right,” Kunlun Mirror said helplessly, “but you should also prepare well, don’t rely on me for everything!”
