Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

The sky was filled with tribulation clouds rolling and tumbling, with a will of destruction continuously gathering within, gradually transforming into the phantom of a Divine Beast!

Its body was nimble with deer-like grace, covered in intricate leopard patterns; the head of a sparrow was raised high, eyes cold as the heavens; the tail of a serpent coiled, stirring the winds and clouds.

This was none other than the ancient Divine Beast Feilian, rumored to command the Dao Rhymes of the divine wind!

Within the cave mansion, Shen Xuan perceived this sign and sneered coldly, suddenly rising to his full height.

Since the Heavenly Dao intended to temper him, he would accept it calmly.

Shen Xuan’s figure flickered, transforming into a streak of crimson-gold escape light, flying straight out of the cave mansion, soaring upwards, finally halting high above the void directly over Spirit Flame Peak.

The moment he appeared, the tribulation clouds began to churn wildly!

The Feilian phantom within the tribulation clouds slightly raised its sparrow head, opened its mouth in Shen Xuan’s direction, and soundlessly exhaled.

An invisible, intangible, colorless, and odorless gang wind, carrying the destructive will of the Heavenly Dao, quietly blew out from the tribulation clouds, directly aiming for Shen Xuan.

The wind is inherently formless.

The Celestial Wind Tribulation is a direct manifestation of the Heavenly Dao Laws of this world, invisible to the naked eye, and difficult for the Divine Sense to detect. Only those with an extremely keen sensitivity to spiritual power fluctuations or by directly touching it with the flesh body, may perceive its existence.

On the viewing platform, among the True Masters of the Bright Flame Sect, aside from True Monarch Red Lotus in the Nascent Soul Stage, True Master Shou Yang with his perfected Golden Core, and True Master Lingyan in the late stage of the Golden Core, the others could not perceive the existence of the Celestial Wind at all.

They only felt a groundless palpitation and fear, as though being coldly watched by some terrifying presence.

The Celestial Wind erodes the bone, targeting the origin.

In a world of dead silence, it silently invades the meridians, dismantling the dantian, and weathering the Golden Core.

In sight, Shen Xuan’s previously solid Protective Spirit Light now flickered intensely like a candle in the wind, the luminescence violently dimming and brightening, pressed and eroded by an unseen force from outside to inside.

And this, was only the first Celestial Wind!

"Indeed, it’s an Upper Grade Golden Core!"

True Master Lingyan murmured, with a complex tone.

He himself formed a Mid-grade Golden Core, after cultivating for four centuries, yet the path to the Nascent Soul remains distant.

The grade of the Golden Core directly determines cultivation efficiency and the upper limit of the Dao path.

At this moment, not only him, but all the True Masters of the Bright Flame Sect present, could not conceal their shock and envy in their eyes.

In the air, the fire spiritual power surrounding Shen Xuan exploded mightily, the Heaven-Burning Fire Domain fully deploying, transforming into an absolute true flame domain a few feet in circumference, of melted gold and iron, the blazing flames distorting the space with extreme heat, resisting the all-prevailing Celestial Wind.

Immediately, the second Celestial Wind silently swept through.

With a soft "poof" sound, his resilient Protective Spirit Light shattered on cue, bursting apart like glass, scattered and dissipated.

The third Celestial Wind arrived in quick succession.

Shhh!

The intense Heaven-Burning Fire Domain was like being doused with icy water, the firelight suddenly dimmed, the size rapidly shrinking.

After forcefully resisting three Celestial Winds, both the Protective Spirit Shield and the Heaven-Burning Fire Domain fully dissipated.

With a solemn expression, Shen Xuan slapped his waist, the Fiery Light Flame Saber transformed into a crimson glow leaping into his palm.

He held the saber horizontally in front of his chest, the blade flowing with crimson-gold flames, his eyes cold as icy ponds, directly looking towards the depths of the tribulation clouds where the Feilian phantom resided.

Others couldn’t see it clearly, but he could.

The Feilian phantom was brewing, its aura was climbing dramatically.

Three into one.

The power of the fourth Celestial Wind would inevitably surge.

The Fiery Light Flame Saber transformed into a crimson-golden fire dragon, baring its fangs and claws, rearing and coiling in front of Shen Xuan, issuing a silent roar towards the Feilian phantom in the tribulation clouds.

The fourth Celestial Wind, silently approached.

Shen Xuan’s hands changed hand seals, the Upper Grade Fire Technique Golden Core within his body violently trembled, the monumental fire spiritual power, as scorching as lava, wildly poured into the blade without reservation.

"Roar!"

The crimson-golden fire dragon emitted a dragon’s roar full of anger piercing the sky, its form swelling, proactively lunging at that formless death wind.

The power of this blade far exceeded his usual level with the Fire Technique, comparable to the full-force strike of a middle stage Golden Core cultivator.

However, upon contact with the Celestial Wind, the crimson-golden fire dragon merely emitted a soft "shhh", instantly annihilated like snow meeting the blazing sun, perishing together with that intangible gang wind.

The Fiery Light Flame Saber flew back in reverse, falling into Shen Xuan’s palm, the blade trembling uncontrollably, emitting a humming sound like mournful wails, most of its spiritual light dimmed.

Before he could catch his breath, the fifth Celestial Wind followed closely behind.

"Slash!"

Shen Xuan shouted furiously, wielding the saber to cut again!

The crimson-golden blade light ripped through the air, fiercely cleaving into that formless wind barrier.

"Zing!"

An ear-piercing sound of metal shattering erupted!

The crimson-golden light on the Fiery Light Flame Saber suddenly dimmed significantly, then exploded with a bang, shattering into countless fragments, scattering and flying like red meteors plummeting towards the mountain forest below.

Shen Xuan’s figure shook violently, staggering back, the Protective Spirit Light around him completely dispersed, his complexion turned pale as a line of fresh blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

The fifth Celestial Wind shattered his Treasure Saber, damaging the origin.

Shen Xuan snorted coldly, deploying the Self-Healing Technique within to the extreme, quickly healing his injuries.

Above the firmament, the tribulation clouds surged more turbulently, seemingly completely enraged.

The sixth Celestial Wind, during its sweeping process, faintly formed a phantom of a dragon-shaped wind, carrying a far more ferocious and violent destructive aura than the previous five combined, swooping head-on towards Shen Xuan!

"Hasten!"

Shen Xuan opened his mouth, and a crimson glow flashed from the True Fire Gourd, its mouth aiming at the wind dragon, a supremely condensed Seven-Taste True Flame spouted out, transforming into a crimson-golden pillar of light, meeting head-on!

"Shhh!"

True flame and wind dragon fiercely collided!

The intense flames were shaken violently by the Celestial Wind, the flame tongues at the forefront continually annihilated.

Yet within the True Fire Gourd, the origin was abundant, and Seven-Taste True Flame endlessly surged, gushing forth madly to replenish.

Two formidable forces clashed fiercely in the air, eroding each other, emitting a sharp "zzz" sound.
