Chapter 749 The terror of the Dao Tribulation, the divine light of chaos
Sitting cross-legged on the Creation Lotus, Gu Qinggang's expression suddenly changed as soon as he entered a meditative state.
"what happened?"
The Holy Mother of Stars asked with concern.
"It seems my tribulations and five signs of decay are about to begin."
Gu Qing had a premonition that the Three Tribulations and Five Decays would occur in ten thousand years.
"Don't panic. With our protection and your own talent and luck, you will overcome the tribulation easily. You will be fine."
According to the calculations of the Star Mother, Gu Qing's Three Tribulations and Five Decays were indeed about to expire.
This kind of thing is unavoidable.
Therefore, she had made preparations in advance, and separated a wisp of her Daoist thoughts to enter the Boundless Secret Realm and find two Myriad Tribulations Fruits.
Although the Myriad Tribulations Fruit cannot negate Gu Qing's Three Tribulations and Five Decays, it can keep her alive. In addition, with the massive amount of Three Lights Divine Water she condensed to cleanse her body, it is only a matter of time before she overcomes the Five Decays.
As for the human tribulation, with her and Youmeng there, Gu Qing can safely survive the human tribulation.
The remaining two tribulations are up to Gu Qing to handle; no outsider can help him.
"What exactly do the Three Tribulations and Five Decays look like?" Gu Qing's expression changed several times as he asked with concern.
"The five signs of decay are: magical power, Dao fruit, origin, physical body, and soul... all will fall into decay. If one cannot overcome them, one will die in the decay."
"As for the three tribulations, they are the tribulation of man, the tribulation of heaven, and the tribulation of the Dao."
"Human calamity is man-made disaster, while heavenly calamity will send down the fire of karma to burn away one's sins, as well as heavenly thunder to cleanse and test one's inner demons, and so on."
"The Dao Tribulation is quite special; there are no fixed tests, and everything varies from person to person."
In fact, what the Star Mother was most worried about was the Dao Tribulation, which was the most difficult to overcome among the Three Tribulations and Five Decays.
Because the Dao Tribulation is a tribulation sent down by the Great Dao to test one's own Dao, and the tribulations that are sent down are extremely varied.
The most common one is the three transformations of the Dao Fruit.
One possibility is that the Dao Fruit mutates into another Great Dao Law, which clashes with its own Great Dao. In severe cases, the Dao Fruit will self-destruct.
Secondly, there is decay. What was originally the supreme Dao fruit is decayed into a lesser Dao fruit.
In other words, your original Dao Fruit was level ten, but the Great Dao cut off nine levels.
Thirdly, there is the fission of the Dao Fruit. The perfect and flawless Dao Fruit splits into countless Dao Fruits. If the Dao Fruits cannot be re-integrated in time, the split Dao Fruits will give birth to self-awareness and form a life form unrelated to the original body.
These life forms have no distinction of primary or secondary; it all depends on who wins in the end, whoever devours all the split Dao fruits, that person will be the only true self.
In addition, there are many other bizarre tribulations, some extremely dangerous and others extremely simple.
Some people pass through the Dao Tribulation without even realizing it, but the probability of such a Dao Tribulation is so small that it can be almost ignored.
Throughout history, eight or nine out of ten cultivators have survived the Human Tribulation, the Heavenly Tribulation, and the Five Decays, but ultimately all perish under the Dao Tribulation.
Of those who can survive the tribulation, only one in ten survives.
However, even if Gu Qing were told this beforehand, it wouldn't have mattered; in the end, she would still have to experience it herself.
Rather than letting Gu Qing live in constant fear and anxiety, it's better not to know.
"Is this so..."
Gu Qing frowned, wondering if the Chaos Treasure Bottle could melt away all the tribulations, as well as the other tribulations and the Five Decays.
However, we cannot place all our hopes on the Chaos Bottle.
Gu Qing cherished his life extremely and wanted to make several preparations.
Ideally, one should still possess peak combat power even when in a state of extreme weakness.
Gu Qing pondered for a long time, and suddenly thought of the light of the universe, which was both a magic weapon and a supernatural power.
If its potential can be unleashed, it can unleash its peak combat power.
Of course, the prerequisite is to completely refine the light of the universe.
The Light of the Universe is a mid-level Chaos Treasure, containing the ultimate principles of the universe.
It possesses the power to create the world; a single beam of light can create the universe and give rise to all living things, and it can also destroy the world, possessing unparalleled destructive power.
With Gu Qing's current strength, it's impossible for him to refine all the light of the universe.
However, Gu Qing had a way to use the boundless chaos to deduce the secret method for nurturing the light of the universe, and to nurture a divine light that was in harmony with his own Great Dao.
In addition, it would be best to break through to a higher realm as well.
Thinking this, Gu Qing immediately took out the Cosmic Light and the Cosmic Clock, scanned their mysteries with his Dao Eye, and deduced them with the Chaos Boundless.
After a while, Gu Qing deduced the method for nurturing the Chaos Divine Light, and presented the two treasures to the Star Mother, immediately casting a secret technique.
Knowing that Gu Qing possessed many treasures, the Star Mother did not refuse and took both treasures into her body to refine them.
Gu Qing refined the origin of the sovereign god sealed within his body, while simultaneously nurturing the chaotic divine light.
Three thousand years have passed in the long flow of time.
Gu Qing suddenly opened his eyes, which flashed with intense, mysterious light.
He raised his hand and unleashed a beam of light that shot into the sky, shattering all paths of space and time and sweeping away everything in its path.
The vast ancient star within the cave was instantly melted into nothingness by the chaotic divine light.
Just as the entire formation was about to be triggered, Gu Qing withdrew the Chaos Divine Light.
"Not bad!"
Gu Qing was fairly satisfied with the power of the Chaos Divine Light.
Of course, this is only in terms of Gu Qing. If we look at the outside world, he is an existence that defies the heavens.
The Chaos Divine Light possesses the power to destroy all paths, wipe away all things, and create all things.
Furthermore, the Chaos Divine Light possesses an extraordinary ability: it can autonomously increase its power as its strength grows.
"With the Chaos Divine Light and the Mysterious Fire Mirror, I can still be invincible in the Celestial Realm."
Gu Qing continued to refine the essence of Tianxu and the others, focusing all his efforts on breaking through the twelfth level bottleneck.
Gu Qing was already at the eleventh level of perfection, and with his unparalleled comprehension, he only needed three years to comprehend the mysteries of the twelfth level and break through in one fell swoop.
Then, he spent thousands of years consolidating his realm and comprehending the mysteries of the twelve realms.
But it's all worth it.
The higher the realm, the greater the realm, the higher the heaven.
Gu Qing is at least dozens of times stronger than when he was at the eleventh level.
"Does my disciple still need to go into seclusion?" The Star Mother opened her eyes and asked gently.
"A great calamity is approaching, and I wish to help my master improve his cultivation."
The time for the Three Calamities and Five Decays to descend is only a few years away, so why bother with seclusion?
Holding my soft and fragrant master and discussing the Dao is the right thing to do.
Gu Qing picked up his master and carried him away from the cultivation cave.
"Snapped!"
"No nonsense."
The Holy Mother of Stars slapped her arm in annoyance, a faint blush rising to her gentle and beautiful face, her eyes sparkling with a hint of anticipation.
Gu Qing felt that her master at this moment was like a mischievous little devil.
Every frown and smile exudes both nobility and elegance, as well as boundless charm.
