Chapter 258 - 257 Bai Hongtu: I will make it big for you



Jiang Li, having nothing to do, strolled around for a few days, seeing many interesting things.

The White Marsh Emperor, still possessing a childish mentality, disguised herself as an ordinary cultivator, participated in a knowledge contest and claimed first place. Jiang Li spared her some dignity by not revealing her true identity.

After all, he himself had competed with the White Marsh Emperor and been outdone, only managing to secure second place.

Jiang Li participated in a contest imitating the Human Emperor, but he didn’t even make it past the preliminaries.

The King Change of the Confucian sect participated in a poetry convention, nearly claiming first prize.

Because the anonymous first place winner was Dong Zhongren, the Sect Hierarch of the Confucian Sect.

Many cultivators round Bai Hongtu’s performance amusing and showered him with Spirit Stones as an encouragement. Jiang Li promptly contacted his parents, the immortal elders, to take the boy home.

To prove her musical prowess, the Red Dust Fairy, concealed but for her eyes, performed music of the Immortal Path on the streets. Her performance was so soothing and melodious, Jiang Li quickly had the Pure Heart Saintess take her back to the Red Dust Pure Land.

The leader, Liu, also invited people from the Ming Zhong World to the festival. They translated their world’s conditions into the language of Jiuzhou and distributed it near the Imperial Palace, causing a huge sensation.

Fortunately, Leader Liu had prepared in advance and had withdrawn part of the guard to maintain order.

Jiang Li thought the duties of Leader Liu were not easy, he had to handle so much every time they held a festival.

After several days of preparation, the highly anticipated Human Emperor Festival began amidst a bustling atmosphere. Representatives from various forces sat on the high platform, with Ming Zhong as a guest of honor, attracting much attention.

The moment Jiang Li appeared on stage, the crowd below erupted into thunderous applause.

“Fellow cultivators, fellow daoists, today, we have gathered to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the 72nd Human Emperor, that is, my ascension to the throne. Here, I, on behalf of the leaders and guards of the Imperial Palace, express my heartfelt gratitude to all cultivators who have made the world of Jiuzhou a better place!”

“For 300 years, I have not forgotten our ancestors’ efforts, the attack from the Heavenly Demons, the sleepless nights of practice, the elevation of cultivation, and the protection of Jiuzhou…”

“As the world of Jiuzhou continues to develop, with its various systems continuously improving, I, as the highest fighting force in Jiuzhou, have reached the Mahayana Realm. I can defeat the Heavenly Demons, and with the joint efforts of all major forces, we have established the Jiuzhou protective array with Daoist Strange Soldier as its core, thoroughly eliminating the possibility of Heavenly Demons attacking!”

“Today, I solemnly announce that the world of Jiuzhou no longer needs to worry about the Heavenly Demons!”

“Let the festival begin!”

After Jiang Li finished his speech, the applause from the audience surpassed anything they had seen before. Some cultivators had tears in their eyes as they took out their memory orbs to record this historic moment.

The audience sat at round tables, watching the performances.

The excellent ingredients purchased by Zhang Konghu were made into various delicacies, laid out on dining tables for people to enjoy at will.

People ate delicious food, watched the once-in-a-decade performance, feeling content.

The Red Dust Pure Land didn’t have any performances but had brought two masters of ceremonies to host the festival.

“I believe everyone has heard about the Ming Zhong World. The first performance will be from there. Let’s enjoy the Mech Dance brought by the Ming Zhong World.”

A few dozen mechs took to the stage, performing a dance that seemed strange to the people of Jiuzhou.

However, beauty has no boundaries. After a while, the audience gradually got used to this form of dance and applauded enthusiastically.

The decision by Ming Zhong to let the mechs perform was made after careful consideration.

The mechs are the pinnacle of their world’s technology. Showcasing them to Jiuzhou could demonstrate their technological level.

Meanwhile, Jiuzhou had puppets similar to the mechs, but the mechs didn’t

use spiritual power, which was the biggest difference and the most eye-catching feature.

With the mech performance, more and more cultivators grew interested in the Ming Zhong World, accelerating the exchange of talents.

As a result, just as Ming Zhong had anticipated, some cultivators developed an interest in the Ming Zhong World and planned to apply to go there.

“What are you guys from the Dao Sect going to perform this year? Group comic dialogue?” Jiang Li curiously looked at Bai Hongtu. It was almost time for the Dao Sect’s performance. Why hadn’t Bai Hongtu left the stage yet?

Bai Hongtu sneered disdainfully, “Do I seem like someone without an innovative spirit? Just watch how grandly I put on a show for you.”

Jiang Li muttered, I felt the ‘Establishment of the Three Purities’ comedy sketch was already innovative enough.

Having said that, Bai Hongtu jumped down off the steps.

“Now, we would like to invite Sect Master Bai Hongtu from the Dao Sect for his performance, um, of Crossing the Heavenly Tribulation?” The two disciples from the Red Dust Pure Land were dumbfounded, questioning if they had read the script wrong.

“???” Jiang Li widened his eyes, Crossing the Heavenly Tribulation in public, aren’t you trying to make a spectacle of us?

Bai Hongtu stood in the center of the stage, confidently smiled, pointed at the sky, the weather changed suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell, and struck him into a charred stick.

Luckily the stage was big enough, otherwise, the fear was that the Heavenly Tribulation could also include the audience in its range, everyone would have to cross the tribulation together, and none could survive.

The air pressure dropped, the sky darkened, only the figure on the stage seemed eternal, the lightning flashing, illuminating Bai Hongtu’s unyielding figure.

The tribulation was vast, incinerating everything, causing vibrations within a few thousand kilometers.

The lightning blazed like fire, the Heavenly Tribulation was turned into molten lava, carrying the wrath from heaven to earth, piercing through the world, reverberating through the nine provinces.

The Heavenly Tribulation targeted only Bai Hongtu. The audience below the stage and the representatives on the stage were merely spectators.

But being a spectator, they were still astonished and terrified, their hearts pounding with fear.

Those cultivators using the reflection balls to record the ceremonies had trembling hands.

Ming Zhong was scared. He thought his robot dance was quite excellent, who knew he would be upstaged right after: “Are the performances in the nine provinces always this hardcore?”

Jiang Li grimaced, “There are not this many tribulations available for performances in the nine provinces. That’s a bunch of bull.”

Jiang Li had initially believed Bai Hongtu was practicing some Great Divine Skill and had to cross this tribulation. Who could have expected this lad not to just cross any tribulation, but the tribulation of achieving immortality!

Bai Hongtu, who is undergoing the tribulation, was shockingly sleeping soundly while thunder crashed nearby.

“This is the Fearless Unmoving Tribulation.” Jiang Li introduced, “This was also my first tribulation.”

Ming Zhong, who had no understanding of the Heavenly Tribulation, asked,

“What does that mean?”

The Ruyi Gourd chimed in, “Each bolt of lightning in the Fearless Tribulation surpasses the cultivator’s limit. Trying to withstand it will only lead to total annihilation. Only with an unwavering Dao heart, remaining fearless in the face of the Heavenly Tribulation, can one overcome this tribulation.”

“You see, Bai Hongtu is sleeping, which shows he is not afraid of the lightning, and therefore the lightning will not strike him.”

Ming Zhong empathetically thought, even if knowing there is no danger by being unafraid, facing the world-ending lightning right above his head would still cause involuntary fear.

Bai Hongtu slept soundly and successfully crossed the Fearless Unmoving Tribulation. Then, nine looped lightning bolts appeared in the sky.

“This is the Nine Circular Landing Tribulation. There are no tactical measures for this one, only raw endurance can survive it. You must have maximized your cultivation from the Qi Cultivation stage to the Tribulation stage to barely survive this tribulation!” The Ruyi Gourd explained. Among the various tribulations one can face on the path to immortality, the Nine Circular Landing Tribulation is considered particularly terrifying. Encountering this kind of tribulation shows Bai Hongtu’s potential.

The looped lightning bolts emitted a daunting momentum, with spiritual energy in chaos and space in shambles. It seemed as though it wanted to grind out the bones and blood, the body and soul of the cultivator. During this tribulation, Bai Hongtu could only use his spiritual energy and cannot draw from external sources.

Any of the looped lightning bolts are enough to separate the soul from the body of a Body Integration Realm cultivator, leading to reincarnation! This shows how terrible it is.

The bright white light made it impossible for everyone to open their eyes properly. A looped lightning bolt encircled Bai Hongtu, making a sizzling sound that made everyone grimace.

The second one, the third one, the fourth one… the ninth one.

Exactly nine lightning bolts trapped Bai Hongtu!

When the crowd finally acclimatized to the bright light and barely managed to get a glimpse of Bai Hongtu on the stage, they found Bai Hongtu gyrating his waist, using the looped lightning as hula hoops, managing to juggle nine at a time.

Ming Zhong turned to ask the Ruyi Gourd, “Barely survives?” The Ruyi Gourd awkwardly replied, “Or maybe not barely..”
