Chapter 377: Black Sacred Monument
The earth’s core with the sea of lava existed at the very bottom. It could dissolve rocks and melt metals with its exceedingly high temperature. No humans could exist there so it was very mysterious with many unbelievable things.
Just like the space above, there were probably some strange and unknown creatures.
The Earth Tribulation originated from this sea of lava with a mysterious power. Some cultivators believed it came from the mythical hell. Others surmised that the earth’s core was actually a ruler, the same existence as the heavenly dao.
A human’s body had unchangeable physical limitation. For example, a mortal couldn’t run one hundred miles in one minute or live longer than two hundred years.
The goal of cultivation was to break this limit!
One the body reached a certain level, it would bring about a tribulation. Only by surpassing this test would one be able to break through the limit and undergo an essential transformation.
Cultivators called this process “transcending from the mortal boundaries”.
After the Earth Tribulation, the body would be able to accept the earthly energy and utilize earthly images. This was a physical metamorphosis allowing them to live for five hundred years, much longer than an ordinary person.
Cultivation alone wasn’t enough; surpassing the tribulation was required.
In the eyes of mortals, a cultivator who could live for five hundred years was already an immortal.
Feng Feiyun stood on top of the vessel with the Dragon-Horse Diagram floating above. All of his energy flown into the vessel and created a domain to stop the power of the lava.
His body continued to sink towards the bottom.
