Chapter 480
Seven Tribulations . Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Yin, and Yang .
They were actually tribulations that were categorized into the seven attributes which were known to men . In truth, it was nature's final method of cleaning up the cultivators .
Lu Sheng knew full well that this world's cultivators opposed the will of the heavens . They robbed the world of its Spiritual Essence and fortune to enrich themselves .
That was why they were subjected to such tribulations . This was nature and the universe's way of preventing cultivators' attempts to achieve the Nascent Soul tier and become accomplished in their cultivation bases .
The black flames continued burning .
Lu Sheng spread his arms beside him, and spread out the Nascent Soul which had just taken form inside him . A huge volume of Nascent Qi brought with it extreme cold as it instantly suppressed the black flames in all directions .
"A Fire Tribulation of this level is nowhere near enough . " Lu Sheng stepped forward slowly . He walked toward the Seoverturning Orb that was slowly descending .
With him as the center, the black flames all around him started to weaken, and were finally extinguished . In the blink of an eye, the bottom of the sea was restored to its original appearance .
"Fuh…"
The flames were just extinguished when a formless gust of wind started blowing out of nowhere and wrapped itself around Lu Sheng .
'There's wind at the bottom of the sea?' Lu Sheng paused . He stretched out a hand . He could clearly feel a fine, constant flow of air over his fingertips .
However, this flow of air was becoming sharper and rougher by the second . It was as if countless fine grains of sand were mixed with it .
Lu sheng even started to feel slight pangs of pain on his skin . His Nascent Qi started to protect his body instinctively and insulated him from this wind .
The whistle of the wind grew stronger and stronger .
A great wing started blowing from nowhere and circled around Lu Sheng continuously . If ordinary people touched this wind, they would instantly be reduced into minced meat .
"Wind Tribulation, huh?" Lu Sheng stopped in his tracks . The Nascent Qi on his body shook .
"Boom!"
The air flow around him suddenly exploded in a grand manner . After his expending another small portion of Nascent Qi, the Wind Tribulation was completely dealt away with .
Then, the seabed started wriggling, and a strong and huge hand made of soil rose . It attempted to pull Lu Sheng down into the quagmire . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
This was the Earth Tribulation . Lu Sheng expended his Nascent Qi to deal with it . The huge hand of soil was frozen in place .
Then, the Water, Earth, Metal Tribulations and the remaining Tribulations followed . Lu Sheng dealt with each of them smoothly with his immense volume of supernatural power . The Seven Tribulations were nothing to his terrifying volume of Nascent Qi .
Lu Sheng took seven steps forward . Seven different hues of radiance flickered on his body, and he had dealt with the different tribulations .
At this moment, the Seoverturning Orb was already slowing down its rotation . It also slowed down in sucking the seawater . Even Lu Sheng was unsure how much seawater was contained within it . He could only give a rough estimate .
"Break . " With that command, the suction force released by the Seoverturning Orb around itself suddenly dissipated . The entire orb floated toward Lu Sheng slowly . It looked no different from a random orb which was colored blue .
Lu Sheng reached out and tapped the Seoverturning Orb lightly .

"Poof . "
All of a sudden, an unexplainable guiding force erupted and tugged strongly on the Seoverturning Orb . It seemed as if it wanted to free the orb from Lu Sheng's grasp .
"You want to run away?" Lu Sheng circulated the Nascent Qi within him and fixed the struggling Seoverturning Orb in its place .
This orb was controlled by a powerful force, and would possibly be blasted away at any moment . As Lu Sheng held onto it, he felt as if he was grabbing an undercurrent at the bottom of the sea
A huge volume of Nascent Qi surged wildly into the Seoverturning Orb . Lu Sheng carefully calculated the capacity of his Seoverturning Orb and the guiding force .
The orb seemed to have got a life of its own . It was pulled on by some unexplainable force and attempted to break free . However, it was forcibly held in place by Lu Sheng's Nascent Qi .
This situation was maintained for several hours . When the Seoverturning Orb was completely filled with Nascent Qi by Lu Sheng and forced out the Wind Tribulation energy that had somehow slipped into it, the tugging force disappeared .
After that, he carefully refined the orb several times with the skill formulas . He sacrificially refined the Seoverturning Orb which had been disturbed by tribulations again, and he filled it with a huge amount of his Nascent Qi .
With the new materials he assimilated into his Seoverturning Orb and the adaptation of the orb itself toward them, the entire orb slowly returned under Lu Sheng's complete control .
'After such a long time, the Seoverturning Orb must've absorbed tens of million tons of seawater by now, maybe even more . '
At this moment, the disturbance of the underwater volcano started to weaken . The red light started dying down as well . The area around it remained dark .
Lu Sheng stood beside the volcano's mouth, and caressed the Seoverturning Orb lightly . He started to have a rough idea of the Seoverturning Orb's internal capacity from his infusion of it with his Nascent Qi .
'Seems like it's almost there . '

Lu Sheng took a look around him . He looked around at the underwater scene which had completely fallen silent around him .
'The derived skill formula which I'm cultivating now has no flashy point to it, in truth . It's just a product of derivations from the time I formed my Golden Core with the Triad Brilliant Nether Collection as the main framework . So, the properties of my Nascent Qi are also ordinary . The only difference is just that its greater in quantity . In other aspects, it's not much different from the Early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators who achieved this breakthrough through ordinary means . '
Lu Sheng parsed his own condition at the moment . As long as he did not expose his immense Nascent Qi volume, it would be easy for him to pose as an ordinary Nascent Soul True Lord .
'I've finally attained the Nascent Soul tier . Now, I'd like to see just how great of a difference lies between Nascent Qi and Core Qi . '
Lu Sheng was also curious about this world's power system . Currently, he had followed Deep Blue's derivations, and completely broken through to the Nascent Soul tier . He was looking forward to experiencing the power of Nascent Qi .
He stretched his hand out further .
"Pcchht!"
A wisp of bluish-black thread-like smoke shot out from his fingertips .
This smoke contorted and circled around Lu Sheng for a while before it suddenly shot to the side . It drew a sharp and long crack in the seabed .
'It can turn hollow and solid at any moment . This Nascent Qi must be something that exists between the state of hollow and solid . ' Lu Sheng allowed his Nascent Qi to dance slowly around him as he observed its pattern and property with his Divine Lord spirit .
'When it's solid, it's extremely hard and tensile . When it's hollow, it behaves like mist, completely untouchable . It can only be canceled out by an energy of the same property . '
Lu Sheng gave this some thought, and slowly pulled out a slender blade from its black-spotted sheath on his back .
The character "Earth" was clearly inscribed in the center of the blade . This was precisely the Earth Lake Sword which he had just recently obtained .

'When I wanted to completely suppress the Earth Lake Sword back then to maintain its ordinary condition, I needed about three units of Core Qi . What about now?' Lu Sheng numerated his Core Qi's volume according to Taoist Mu Yun's standards .
A unit of Core Qi represented the entire Core Qi that could be unleashed by one Taoist Mu Yun .
Three units meant that if he wanted to suppress the Earth Lake Sword's eruption, he needed three Taoist Mu Yuns in order to be completely successful . Also, what he meant by suppressing the Earth Lake Sword's eruption was completely suppressing its hidden powers as well, and not the meager might unleashed by Du Guangchi .
'I've needed three units of Core Qi before this, and now…' Lu Sheng sent his thought and removed the remaining Core Qi on the Earth Lake Sword which suppressed it . He merged it back into his current Nascent Qi .
Then, without waiting for the Earth Lake Sword to shine with golden radiance and completely erupt, he instantly infused it with brand-new Nascent Qi .
He merely infused it with one-tenth of unit of Nascent Qi, which, according to Lu Sheng's estimation, was one-tenth of an ordinary Nascent Soul True Lord's total Nascent Qi volume . Still, the Earth Lake Sword was already behaving as if it was sealed with countless Restrictions . It had wanted to struggle and shine with golden light, but its radiance quickly dimmed .
'To think that it needs one-tenth of unit of Nascent Qi . Seems like the Nascent Qi which I obtained from the forced breakthrough isn't of too good a quality . Even among the ordinary Nascent Soul True Lords, I'm afraid I'm just at the bottom of the food chain . ' Lu Sheng had many a thought in his heart .
'The difference between a Nascent Soul True Lord and a Core Formation cultivator should've been greater than this . However, the only heaven and earth treasure that I've infused my Golden Core with is seawater from the deep sea . Hence, the special might it gave to my Nascent Qi is extremely weak . Compared to other cultivators, the difference is too great . I think that the real difference lies in this . '
Lu Sheng quickly found out the reason behind the difference .
He sheathed the Earth Lake Sword . This sword was not a Divine Weapon or Devil Blade, and he did not have a terrifying physical body such as his main body . Hence, he had no way of testing it out .
'I've achieved Nascent Soul, and the sacrificial refining of my Seoverturning Orb is completed as well . However, as a True Lord, I can't just know of two skills . I'd have to cultivate some ordinary techniques to deal with ordinary circumstances . '
Up until now, Lu Sheng had only cultivated basic cultivation base and supernatural power . He did not touch anything on the Art .
In truth, he only knew about two techniques . The first technique was called Boundless Supernatural Power—it was basically the continuous unleashing of his supernatural power until his opponent was eventually overwhelmed .
The second technique was Subdue by Force .
This technique involved tossing the Seoverturning Orb which had an extremely terrifying weight as a ball . When he sneaked up on the Vital Energy Sect's cultivator back then, he had used this technique as an opening . It showed great results .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
