Mysterious mirror hanging high

Chapter 936 Entangled Fates

Yun Cang Sanren suddenly threw out seven ancient bronze mirrors, which formed the shape of the Big Dipper.

When the first bolt of lightning struck, the seven beast-shaped patterns on the ancient mirror came to life, opening their mouths to swallow most of the lightning.

The remaining lightning was drawn by the magnetic vortex on the surface of the star and disappeared into the earth's veins like rivers flowing into the sea.

"The power of the elemental magnetism really does have the effect of weakening the lightning tribulation!" a knowledgeable cultivator exclaimed.

Yun Cang Sanren stepped on the Dipper, leaving charred footprints on the starry ground with each step.

When the thirty-sixth bolt of heavenly lightning shattered the two ancient mirrors, he suddenly bit his tongue, spitting out a blood arrow that drew an imperial edict in the air.

The remaining five bronze ancient mirrors disintegrated upon impact, merging with the primordial magnetic power above the stars, transforming into shimmering halos that swirled endlessly, protecting Yun Cang Sanren's physical body and nascent soul.

As the eighty-first heavenly lightning bolt brewed, the entire star's magnetic aurora surged back towards the tribulation clouds.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yun Cang Sanren made a hand seal, and countless grains of stardust appeared around his body. When the last bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a bucket, struck down, the protective shield formed by the stardust and the magnetic aurora reflected each other, twisting the lightning pillar into a spiral shape.

"They're almost through! Another fourth-tribulation loose immortal!" Many cultivators cheered, while others looked regretful, seemingly lamenting something.

Just as the lightning was about to dissipate, the tribulation clouds in the sky suddenly contracted and expanded, and the power of the tribulation lightning increased greatly!

"Not good!" Even the celestial beings in the void paled at this moment.

At the end of the lightning pillar that should have been exhausted, a strand of lightning as thin as a hair suddenly split off.

Yun Cang Sanren's relaxed expression suddenly froze, and a pinhole-sized hole appeared on his forehead.

"laugh--"

With a soft sound, wisps of blue smoke rose from the top of his head.

All the onlookers saw was his body cracking and countless tiny bolts of lightning shooting out from within him.

The magnetic vortex on the surface of that desolate planet suddenly went berserk, turning the collapsing body into dust.

Then the nascent soul also quickly disintegrated... and in the end, even the cave heaven exploded, exploding with treasures and spiritual resources.

Most of the treasures were destroyed by the tribulation lightning, and a small number, though not completely destroyed, were greatly damaged in their spiritual essence and were clearly not far from being scrapped.

The starry sky returned to silence, with only a few fragments of magical artifacts floating in the turbulent magnetic currents on the surface of the stars.

Sighs echoed from the celestial beings in the void: "In the end, it was just a hair's breadth short..."

The figures of the celestial beings disappeared without a trace, clearly having left the place.

Immediately, several Mahayana cultivators unleashed their swift light and flew into the Yuan Magnetic Star to seize the treasures left behind by Yun Cang Sanren. In an instant, the flames of spiritual weapons and supernatural powers rose and fell, and they fought fiercely.

Those cultivators below the Mahayana level, including those at the Nascent Soul stage, knew they couldn't interfere and weren't particularly interested in the treasures. However, one cultivator looked puzzled and asked:

"Fellow Daoists, didn't you find... that Heavenly Tribulation just now a bit strange?"

"It seemed that at the last moment, the power of the tribulation lightning suddenly increased slightly."

One cultivator nodded and said, "It seems so... If it weren't for this slight change in power, Senior Yun Cang might have survived this tribulation of a rogue immortal."

"Why is this happening... It shouldn't be like this..."

Jing Yu was also puzzled. He had keenly noticed the change in the power of the tribulation lightning just now, but he didn't know why.

At this moment, the great battle on Yuanci Star has almost come to an end. Several Mahayana cultivators who obtained the treasures have escaped into the void and disappeared. Two Mahayana cultivators were even seriously injured in the fight.

Just then, a Mahayana cultivator who had not made a move but was only watching from the sidelines suddenly changed his expression and held a communication talisman in his hand.

"What? A true immortal disciple of the Golden Immortal lineage, the Purple Cloud Palace, while traveling in the Central Thunder Starfield, was inspired by lightning, instantly attained enlightenment, condensed immortal golden essence, and advanced to the rank of Golden Immortal?"

At that moment, many cultivators present received message talismans from their relatives and friends, and they all learned of this explosive news in an instant.

"A True Immortal Daoist from the Third Heaven has come to the Second Heaven for travel? And even advanced to the Golden Immortal realm? Wow... The power of the [Purple Cloud Dao Palace] has greatly increased; the power structure of the Third Heaven is likely to be shaken!"

"Which true immortal is it?"

"It seems to be Mo Wuyi, the personal disciple of the Lord of Zixiao Dao Palace... Of course, he should be called Mo Shangzhen now!"

A cultivator specializing in lightning beat his chest and stamped his feet in frustration: "Alas... Mo Shangzhen's enlightenment through lightning and the condensation of immortal golden essence must have been an extremely magnificent scene. If I were fortunate enough to witness a Golden Immortal attaining enlightenment, it would be an incredible opportunity! I would surely gain some insights and perhaps even break through my bottleneck."

"I understand!" Jing Yu suddenly said.

"Hmm? Fellow Daoist, what do you know?" a cultivator asked curiously.

“I know why the power of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation during the Loose Immortal Tribulation suddenly increased slightly at the end,” Jing Yu said with a confident expression.

"When a cultivator attains the Golden Immortal realm and condenses the Immortal Golden Nature, although they cannot shake or influence the laws of heaven and earth as much as when they attain the Dao Lord realm or the Dao Fruit realm, they certainly cannot completely control the laws as when they attain the Venerable realm..."

"But the Immortal Gold element is also extraordinary; at the moment of its condensation, it is enough to influence related laws and things within a vast range..."

A cultivator who knew Mo Wuyi's background suddenly realized: "That's right, this fellow Daoist is right... It is said that the cultivation technique that Mo Shangzhen is proficient in is the [Heavenly Thunder Strategy] which is closely related to the Heavenly Punishment Thunder... If he condenses the Immortal Golden Nature, it is probably also related to Heavenly Punishment and Tribulation Thunder."

"If that's the case... it really could affect the lightning in the Tribulation of the Loose Immortals."

Another cultivator raised a question: "The [Central Thunder Starfield] is very far from the [Heavenly Light Starfield], separated by at least ten starfields... How could Mo Shangzhen's attainment of Dao affect this place?"

"Don't you know? The Immortal Gold Nature has already touched upon the fundamental rules of heaven and earth. Once it is proven, hundreds of star regions in the vicinity, centered on the [Central Thunder Star Region], will be affected."

An old man sighed, "If that's really the case... Senior Yun Cang was really unlucky. He happened to run into Mo Shangzhen's immortal metal nature of condensing the lightning lineage when he was undergoing the tribulation of the Loose Immortal. It was truly a matter of timing and fate."

But at this moment, Jing Yu silently thought to herself:

"Wrong, it wasn't that Yun Cang Sanren happened to stumble upon Mo Wuyi's path to enlightenment."

"But when Mo Wuyi attained enlightenment, there were always wandering immortals undergoing tribulations."

The Immortal Realm is indeed vast and boundless, with countless living beings. Hundreds of star fields are only a tiny part of the Second Heaven, yet there are also a huge number of wandering immortals within it.

Today, Yun Cang Sanren is not the only one undergoing the tribulation of a rogue immortal. As long as Mo Wuyi attains enlightenment in a certain star field, the rogue immortals undergoing tribulation in hundreds of nearby star fields will be doomed.

"The way of fate is truly wondrous." Jing Yu had a vague sense of enlightenment, but her expression quickly changed.

It was only because the thickest causal thread in his navel suddenly became sensitive and pointed to a certain direction in the Tianmang Star Region.
