Da Zhong was quite puzzled and said, "Ah Ying, Zhou Laozu's intelligence is indeed extraordinary. The scene before us is indeed spectacular, but even if he kidnaps all the heavenly gods to the mortal world, what difference does it make? The heavenly tribulation still exists."
Xu Ying said, "However, the passage for the heavenly gods to return to the Heavenly Dao World has been closed by the heavenly tribulation."
Da Zhong was dumbfounded.
Xu Ying continued, "And now, all the heavenly gods are under the heavenly tribulation and thunder tribulation. They will have to fight against the heavenly tribulation together with Zhou Qiyun. They must ensure that Zhou Qiyun successfully crosses the tribulation because Zhou Qiyun is their only hope to ascend back to the Heavenly Dao World."
He paused and said, "Do you still remember the Heavenly God Temple, Zhong Ye?"
Da Zhong certainly did not forget. The Heavenly God Temple was the place of ascension, where the barrier between the Heavenly Dao World and the mortal world became thin. The heavenly gods would descend to the Heavenly God Temple and form the Heavenly God Council.
However, the Heavenly God Temple could not allow their true bodies to descend. Only their consciousness could descend onto triangular stone statues.
This was because the Heavenly God Temple, as an ancient place of ascension, had traces left by the immortals who ascended, but the barrier between the two realms gradually thickened, making it impossible for their true bodies to descend.
Xu Ying said, "Their only chance to return to the Heavenly Dao World is during the ascension radiance at the moment of Zhou Qiyun's ascension. When the ascension radiance descends, they can take advantage of it to return to the Heavenly Dao World."

Da Zhong understood and said, "Therefore, no matter what, these 360 heavenly gods must help him fight against the heavenly tribulation and return to the Heavenly Dao World! Although the heavenly tribulation that Zhou Qiyun will face is terrifying, with so many heavenly gods assisting him, he has hope! His thoughts are truly..."
To kidnap 360 heavenly gods and help him fight against the heavenly tribulation, this was something that others wouldn't even dare to think of!
Zhou Qiyun not only thought of it, but also did it!
Xu Ying's mind was stirred. This would be the first ascension to accelerate immortality and would bring hope to countless people!
If Zhou Qiyun successfully crosses the tribulation and becomes an immortal, the schemes of the Niman Palace Lord will be useless.
On Jiuyi Mountain, the heavenly gods who were enjoying sacrifices looked up at the thunderclouds in the sky. They roared in anger, but the thunderclouds showed no signs of retreating.
They would have to help Zhou Qiyun bear this great tribulation and fight desperately for him. Only if Zhou Qiyun survived could they return to the Heavenly Dao World!
In the distance, there was a flash of lightning on Jiuyi Mountain.
The people on Wuwang Mountain saw that a thunderbolt as thick as the main peak of Jiuyi Mountain struck down. The momentary burst of light even cast clear shadows on the ground thousands of miles away, and then the shadows were rapidly elongated!
After the shadows dimmed, they saw the lightning flowing down the main peak of Jiuyi Mountain like liquid, sparkling and shining. After reaching the foot of the mountain, it spread in all directions, illuminating the surrounding peaks!
Guo Family Patriarch murmured, "I'm dead from this strike."
The ancestors of other prestigious families had the same thought.
This heavenly tribulation was too terrifying. They couldn't even pass through it, let alone touch it. Even if they just brushed against it, they would die, shattered!
They even felt that even if a legendary immortal came, they would probably be turned to ashes with a single strike.
This was a power that simply couldn't appear in the mortal world!
The next moment, they saw a strange scene. The mountains and rivers near Jiuyi Mountain suddenly grew taller or shorter.
Some mountains were more than double their previous height, then suddenly became half as tall. Some mountains were clearly tall, but suddenly shrank to half their previous height, and then suddenly grew taller again!
It was as if an invisible force was stretching, compressing, and playing with them.
"Space fluctuations!" Da Zhong knew this situation and said, "The energy contained in that thunderbolt is too terrifying. When it is released, it causes spatial fluctuations. When the mountain is at the peak of the wave, it will become taller, and when it is in the trough, it will be compressed. This situation is not dangerous, and we won't even feel anything."
This spatial fluctuation spread too fast and arrived in an instant!
They seemed to hear a strange whistling sound, but their bodies felt nothing, and the sky and earth in their field of vision remained unchanged. Only their souls were violently shaken.
Xu Ying felt that the sensation of his soul was somewhat similar to the feeling when he entered the Broken Temple World at the Water Mouth Temple.
It was a feeling of space gaining thickness and mass, passing through space.
After this fluctuation passed, they heard a second sound, like a whistle, followed by a feeling of souls crossing over.
The second thunderbolt, the third thunderbolt, erupted one after another. Jiuyi Mountain's main peak seemed to be particularly attractive to thunder, always attracting that terrifying thundercloud energy.
In the illusionary light, the people on Wuwang Mountain saw the figures of heavenly gods leaping on the other eight peaks of Jiuyi Mountain.
Between the light and darkness, the postures of the heavenly gods were all different, each with its own unique posture. Among the 360 heavenly gods, there were 360 different postures.
Those postures were profound, ancient, vigorous, and powerful, giving people a great visual impact!
When the next lightning flashed, their postures changed again, and there was still no repetition!
They were helping Zhou Qiyun cross the tribulation!
"Do heavenly gods also accept bribes?" Guo Family Patriarch murmured, "Can they also be bought?"
Li Huangshu shook his head and said, "No. This is kidnapping. He kidnapped the heavenly gods and forced them to fight for him."
Shi Family Patriarch said, "It's our misfortune to live in the same era as him."
"But fortunately, he is about to ascend." On Wuwang Mountain, the tongue of a large snake waved like waves, screaming, "Dao manifestations! They are manifestations of the heavenly gods' great dao! Quickly remember them! Each manifestation can be transformed into an extraordinary divine art!"
Prompted by Jingqi, the ancestors of the major families, whether they were patriarchs or the disciples they brought, even their mounts, hurriedly memorized them.They didn't know what the grand dao was, but they knew about hidden scenes. For them, the manifestation of the Heavenly God's Dao was a hidden scene, which could be transformed into extraordinary magical powers. If their talent was higher, they might comprehend extraordinary techniques.
However, they were too far away, and there were too many manifestations of the Heavenly God's Dao. Moreover, the speed of the Heavenly Tribulation was too fast, causing the changes in the manifestations to become extremely rapid, making it impossible for them to comprehend.
Unless they could come closer, stand near the Heavenly God, and carefully observe, they would be able to capture the essence and charm of the Heavenly God's Dao.
They were unwilling to give up this opportunity and forcibly memorized it. However, the Heavenly God was a divine manifestation of the Heavenly Dao, and the profundity contained within was extremely powerful.
Forcibly memorizing and comprehending it would also consume a terrifying amount of mental energy. After a short while, the donkey began to spit out blood and fell to the ground in a withered state.
A moment later, the two brothers, Niu Zhen and Niu Gan, from the Xu family also spat out blood from their mouths. Guo Xiaodie groaned and blood seeped from her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. Those with slightly lower cultivation levels also coughed up blood, causing the area of Wuwang Mountain to be filled with blood.
Even Guo Xiaodie's second aunt, Li Yingzhu, suffered damage to her mental energy and fell unconscious.
"Why isn't Qi Ye spitting out blood?"
Niu Zhen and Niu Gan lay on the ground, their breath scattered. They saw Qi still staring with wide eyes, completely focused on observing the Heavenly Tribulation, unaffected by the manifestations of the Heavenly God's Dao. They couldn't help but be amazed in their hearts, "No wonder he is called Qi Ye by the teacher. I didn't expect his foundation to be so profound. We are far behind."
Qi stared at the manifestations of the Heavenly God's Dao, his eyes flickering. "If I can't understand it, Xu Ying should be able to. I'll let him explain later. Well, let's watch a little longer to avoid Xu Ying accusing me of being indecisive."
Xu Ying didn't have time to comprehend anything, so he didn't observe the manifestations of the Heavenly God's Dao, but instead observed the Heavenly Tribulation.
"Three hundred and sixty Heavenly Gods, joining forces with Zhou Qiyun to resist the Heavenly Tribulation. The changes are unpredictable and difficult to comprehend. But if I can use the Bi Luo Fu technique from the Guo family as a reference and compare it with the Heavenly Tribulation, I can add a magical power to the Bi Luo Fu." He thought to himself.
He silently activated the Bi Luo Fu, mobilizing his mental energy according to the method of the Bi Luo Fu. Gradually, a blue sky appeared behind him, gradually transforming into thunderclouds.
The girl in the coffin beside him was surprised, observing the phenomenon of the Heavenly Tribulation behind him, her eyes flickering without saying a word.
Guo's ancestor suddenly felt something and looked up. He saw the thundercloud gradually expanding behind Xu Ying on the cliff. He couldn't help but be shocked, "The ninth move derived from the Bi Luo Fu of our Guo family?"
He turned his head to look at the Heavenly Tribulation hundreds of miles away, his gaze flickering. "While others are trying to comprehend the manifestations of the Heavenly God's Dao, he is trying to master the Heavenly Tribulation! This kid is quite extraordinary. The more I look at him, the more he resembles the son-in-law of our Guo family!"
He was overjoyed in his heart and thought, "Xiao Die also has a 200-jin older sister. She has a gentle temperament and is as beautiful as a flower. She is still unmarried and can be recruited as a son-in-law for our Guo family."
The thundercloud behind Xu Ying grew larger and wider, gradually expanding to several acres, forming such a phenomenon that it already possessed the power of magical abilities.
Guo's ancestor was delighted, "His talent is even better than mine. The more I look at him, the more pleasing he becomes."
However, the thundercloud gradually became abnormal. It continued to expand, and the expansion speed was somewhat fast, quickly reaching a size of over a hundred acres.
"With his talent, it wouldn't be a problem to marry Xiao Die and her sister to him." Guo's ancestor was very satisfied.
The girl in the coffin immediately sensed that something was wrong and involuntarily took a step back, distancing herself from Xu Ying. Then she realized, "Why did I take the initiative to retreat? Right, I sensed the intention of the Heavenly Tribulation and subconsciously wanted to stay away from it, so I retreated!"
At this moment, Da Zhong, who had been thrown out of Xu Ying's head, didn't care about his hatred for the girl and quickly asked, "Qing girl, did you sense something?"
"Disaster!" The girl's face turned serious. "What's going on?"
Da Zhong speculated, "Xu Ying is observing the Heavenly Tribulation, and his consciousness is connected to the Heavenly Tribulation. He has experienced this situation before when he observed the manifestations of the Nine Doubts on Jiuyi Mountain, and his consciousness was connected to the Nine Doubts."
The girl was startled and looked up at the other thundercloud in the sky. "Are you saying that his consciousness is currently in the thundercloud? Why is the thundercloud behind him still expanding?"
The thundercloud floating in the air behind Xu Ying had already expanded to a thousand acres, and thunder was constantly exploding in the cloud layer, becoming more and more powerful.
Xu Ying's body was surging with energy, and his clothes fluttered.
Under the cloud, the people on Wuwang Mountain suddenly felt extremely oppressed. They had a feeling that if the two thunderclouds merged, they would be doomed!
Guo's ancestor suddenly waved his sleeves and shouted, "This place is not suitable for staying! Let's go!"
He picked up Guo Xiaodie and rushed away like thunder!
The ancestors of the other major families and the mysterious experts could no longer bear it. They forcibly suppressed the fear in their hearts and hurriedly took their own children and fled at the fastest speed, not daring to stay!"Son, son—" The donkey brought by the Zhu family ancestor was restless, running and shouting, "Wait for me! Son."
"Ancestor, let's go back and eat donkey meat!"
"Yes, let's go back and eat!"
The small tribulation cloud in the sky had expanded to a size of a hundred miles, attracting more power from the calamity cloud!
"Boom!" The dark thunder in the thunderclouds startled, deafening.
The girl Qing was also frightened. Her cultivation had reached the Ascension stage, but she dared not ascend and was avoiding the heavenly tribulation. At this moment, she felt the impending calamity, as if it was about to be triggered!
She was uncertain and no longer stopped the worried old man.
The worried old man shouted, "If we don't seal him off, we will all die! Take action!"
He and the woman in red robes rallied their spirits, each activating their primordial spirits, fully focused, and pointed at various parts of Xu Ying's body!
Although the white-haired old man had three holes pierced in his body and was seriously injured, his body was damaged but his will was not. He struggled to get up, covered in blood, but still activated his primordial spirit, pointing at Xu Ying again and again, closely cooperating with him.
With the three of them pointing their finger force, the two tribulation clouds in the sky gradually separated, and the calamity cloud hanging high above Wumang Mountain slowly shrank and gradually returned to normal.
The turbulent aura around Xu Ying gradually calmed down, no longer as terrifying.
The feeling of being inescapable from the calamity that weighed on everyone's hearts also gradually disappeared. The fleeing crowd was uncertain, feeling as if they had narrowly escaped a disaster.
The Emperor of the Yin Court exclaimed softly, looking towards Xu Ying, and whispered, "How could he mobilize the power of the heavenly tribulation? Who is he? Is he really the snake catcher from Lingling? And these people around him..."
He looked at the worried old man and the others, shocked in his heart.
He had never seen these people before, but they gave him an unfathomable feeling!
The worried old man suddenly felt something was not right and whispered, "We attracted too much attention when we made a move. Let's go, let's not cause any more trouble!"
He and the woman in red robes supported the white-haired old man, leaped into the Qingming, and disappeared without a trace.
Da Zhong quickly said, "Qing, do you know the origins of these three guys? Qing?"
The girl Qing had also disappeared without a trace, and even the black coffin that suppressed her disappeared along with her.
Seeing this, the Emperor of the Yin Court immediately whispered, "Set off, return to the Yin Realm!"
"Set off, return to the Yin Realm!" The group of ghost kings lifted the coffin and placed it in the imperial carriage, descending the mountain and arriving at the Nai River. They boarded the boat and sailed away, disappearing into the mist of the Nai River.
Xu Ying's aura finally stabilized, and he said to Da Zhong, "Lord Zhong, just now I seemed to feel that I was compatible with the heavenly tribulation and came to the center of the tribulation. It was as if I had become the tribulation itself."
He was quite excited and said, "I saw Zhou Qiyun who was crossing the tribulation and three hundred and sixty heavenly gods. I could even sense the calamity of each person. I even felt that I could bring calamity upon them. It was as if I had become the will of heaven."
Da Zhong was stunned, feeling a sense of fear in his heart.
"Just when I wanted to give it a try, a force pulled me back."
Xu Ying felt somewhat regretful, and suddenly, he looked towards Wumang Mountain and asked in confusion, "Huh, where are the people?"
At this moment, Wumang Mountain was in ruins, with only the two brothers Qi Yun and Zhen Niu remaining. Everyone else had disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, Zhou Qiyun's heavenly tribulation was gradually coming to an end.
