Chapter 663: Proving His Dao and Achieving Spiritual Manifestation
“What… What is that?” The unkempt old Daoist cried out in alarm.
The instant that snow-white streak of tribulation light appeared deep within the clouds, he felt an irrepressible terror rise within his heart.
It wasn’t the sheer power that terrified him. This was awe at the majesty of heaven!
He couldn’t work even the slightest desire to resist!
“This is a power manifested?of the?Laws of the Dao of Heaven. It’s like a prohibition; it represents the majesty of heaven, something that the vast majority of the world’s cultivators cannot resist,” Su Yi said casually.
He was actually even calmer than before.
He was well aware that even if he fought with everything he had, he was absolutely no match for that streak of tribulation light.
Even an advanced cultivator of the Spiritual Revolution Realm, no, even a Profound Illumination Realm Emperor would face almost certain doom!
Only a Profound Serenity Realm cultivator, one who’d already started tempering his Grand Dao Dharma Avatar, had any hope of contending with it.
In simple words, for such tribulation light to appear within a Tribulation of Spiritual Manifestation meant that this was no longer a trial, nor was this tribulation intended to temper him.
This was a crisis born of the Laws of the Grand Dao, and it wanted him dead!
However, Su Yi wasn’t at all panicked.
On the contrary, after calming down, he was even pleased and eager.
Facing such a grand tribulation was unquestionable proof that the path he walked post-reincarnation didn’t just far surpass that of his past life; he surpassed every cultivator who’d come before him.
His path was indeed unprecedented
As he pondered——
Boom!
Deep within the tribulation clouds, the snow-white tribulation light was moving.
It fully illuminated the entire stretch of heaven and earth. It was nighttime, but it was as bright as midday.
The skies collapsed on all sides, and the chaotic, explosive aura of a tribulation instantly spread for a thousand miles.
As the tribulation light descended, it bore down on the boundless ocean. Its waters sank several hundred feet!
The unkempt old Daoist shrieked and fell into the water with a thud. The terrifying aura of the tribulation bore down on his entire body, and he couldn’t move a muscle.
Within the ruins of the Immortals’ Sword House, Ning Sihua and the others felt chills course through their entire bodies. It was as if they’d plunged into an icy abyss, and they almost couldn’t breathe.
Everyone felt a rending pain in their souls!
When the tribulation light descended, the Grand Dao descended like an executioner’s blade full of the imposing might of heaven and undying radiance.
Su Yi didn’t retreat.
But he wasn’t stupid enough to clash with it using just his body and cultivation base, either.
His sleeves billowed around him, and he suddenly raised his right hand and pressed his fingers into a sword.
He circulated the full extent of his cultivation base and poured it into his soul, connecting to the aura of the Sword of the Nine Hells with all his might.
Su Yi’s face visibly paled, becoming almost translucent.
This was his first time activating the Sword of the Nine Hells with his full power since his reincarnation.
He held nothing back!
Weng!
The sword lying dormant within his sea of consciousness shook, and the nine Divine Chains it suppressed rubbed together, producing an ear-piercing clamor.
Immediately afterward, an obscure, mysterious power surged out of the Sword of the Nine Hells, gathering in the tips of Su Yi’s fingers.
The power was so dense and terrifying that Su Yi’s physical body stiffened; he almost couldn’t bear it.
He dared not hesitate. He took a deep breath, and his eyes shone with determination.
“Cut!” He used his fingers as a sword and suddenly slashed the air.
Whoosh!
A streak of sword qi pierced through the skies. It was obscure and mysterious, illusory and indistinct, yet it emanated a lofty and supreme aura.
A moment later, heaven and earth suddenly regained their former tranquility.
The churning seas, the collapsed skies, the surging air currents—all of them stilled.
It was like a painting, a moment frozen in time!
It was in that moment that the streak of sword qi soared through the skies, as if boring a hole through the ancient restrictions of time and space. It soared like a whirlwind with unstoppable, irrepressible momentum.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Wherever the sword qi passed, the descending snow-white tribulation light burst apart, inch by inch, transformed into motes of light, and dispersed.
Like an axe through bamboo!
It was an astonishing scene.
It was as if a sword had cleaved through the imposing majesty of heaven, breaking the Laws of the Dao of Heaven and forcefully cutting a path to life!
And when the streak of sword qi shot into the heavens——
A perfectly straight rift appeared through the thousand miles of tribulation clouds blanketing the sky, extending deeper and deeper until finally, it pierced through even the dome of heaven.
As if the sword had cleaved open the heavens!
Immediately afterward——
A boom shook heaven and earth. The tribulation clouds filling the skies split and disintegrated as if they were made of cotton!
“This…”
The unkempt old Daoist recovered some of his power and struggled out of the water just in time to witness this unmatched spectacle. Despite himself, he was utterly dazed.
One slash, and he cut through a tribulation of the Grand Dao!?
Within the ruins of the Immortals’ Sword House, Ning Sihua and the others were too astonished for words.
How lofty was that final swath of tribulation light? And how holy? It had an undying, terrifying majesty!
Yet in the end, Su Yi had shattered it in a single slash, destroying the tribulation clouds!
It was simply a miracle!
“Many thanks,” Su Yi muttered to himself.
Then, sleeves fluttering around him, he soared into the air and arrived just beneath the dome of heaven.
A cycle of the light of the Grand Dao revolved around him, circulating like a whirlpool.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
The scattered remnants of tribulation clouds, the churning, ferocious tribulation light—all of it surged toward Su Yi.
All of his injuries disappeared in the blink of an eye.
His skin, tendons, bones, blood, muscle, organs, acupoints, and meridians.
His cultivation, soul, and physique underwent a complete, earth-shaking metamorphosis.
What was Spiritual Manifestation?
It was when the Origin Palace transformed, becoming a Grand Dao Spirit Palace. It was when cultivators gathered the power of the Grand Dao, merged with their Spirit Origin, comprehended the changes of heaven and earth, and unleashed the multifaceted power of nature.
Stepping into this realm meant stepping into a new, higher Dao!
Throughout history, this path had been known as the Spirit Dao.
Those who took this step were known as “advanced cultivators!”
They could control the qi of the nine heavens and summon the wind and rain. Their souls could leave their bodies and wander the skies, and their lifespans extended to three thousand years. Their bodies feared neither wind nor fire.
They could manifest Spirit Dao magic, refine natal treasures, and connect with heaven and earth!
This state was known as Spiritual Manifestation!
Su Yi had now absorbed and devoured the tribulation clouds and lightning on all sides, fusing them into his cultivation base. In doing so, he stepped into the Spiritual Manifestation Realm.
It was like a sudden breakthrough, a metamorphosis. It transformed him completely, inside and out, like a phoenix reborn in nirvanic flame!
In the end, the abundant life force of the Grand Dao gathered within the surging tribulation clouds and tribulation light flowed into Su Yi’s dantian.
A grand and mysterious Spirit Palace stood there, as if forged out of eternal divine gold, with undying luster.
Eons could not move it, and no number of calamities could erode it. This was a Grand Dao Spirit Palace!
Su Yi’s aura instantly expanded, rising steadily to an unimaginable level.
It was as vast as the heavens, and it hovered like the moon and sun, as endless as the earth and sky.
Finally, the skies returned to their former tranquility.
Su Yi stood there, bursting with clear Dao Light, as if he’d become the center of the world, or as if all of creation were prostrating itself before him.
The unkempt old Daoist looked up. He felt as if he were looking upon a god!
“I’ve finally achieved Spiritual Manifestation,” sighed Su Yi.
His sigh contained a mixture of emotions: satisfaction, gratification, and joy.
“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist!”
“Congratulations, Big Brother Su Yi!”
“Congratulations, young lord!”
“Congratulations, Master Su!”
“Congratulations, Your Excellency!”
“Congratulations, Master!”
Ning Sihua and the others immediately rushed out of the ruins of the Immortals’ Sword House. When they saw Su Yi standing in the air, they hurriedly called out their congratulations.
All of them addressed him differently, but their expressions were similar: a mixture of astonishment, delight, excitement, respect, and even awe.
Even the Molten Gold Lion Su Yi had dragged back to keep watch over the gates couldn’t help but pay its respects.
It had been an eventful night. First, the power of the Grand Dao fell from the sky like rain, as colorful as shooting stars. This was an entirely unexpected grand stroke of fortune.
However, none of that was even remotely as shocking as watching Su Yi undergo tribulation.
Now, when they saw that he’d successfully overcome his tribulation and entered the Spiritual Manifestation Realm, they still found it hard to believe. It didn’t feel quite real; it was as if they were dreaming.
That grand tribulation was just too terrifying!
Even someone as mighty as Ying Que, a Spiritual Incarnation Realm yao cultivator, was overcome with shock. He was keenly aware that had he faced such a tribulation, he would have died many times over!
Yet Su Yi had pulled it off. It was like a miracle!
His sword swept through the heavens, cleaving through the taboo power of the tribulation!
This was the night of the second day of the second lunar month, the day insects ended their hibernation, and the day all life reawakened.
It was on this night that Su Yi underwent an unprecedented grand tribulation, cleaved through the taboo power of tribulation light, proved his Dao, and entered the Spiritual Manifestation Realm.
When he succeeded, Dao Light hung around him like a cloud, blanketing heaven and earth!
This was also the night of Su Yi’s eighteenth birthday.
Up in the sky.
Su Yi swept his gaze across the crowd and smiled.?This is perhaps the best gift I could have received for my new lifetime’s eighteenth birthday.
