Chapter 906: The Tribulation (Part 2)
The place where Xu Chunniang lived was affected by the aftermath of the fight between the great demons in the combined stage and turned into ruins.
After she came out of the long loneliness, she had to face the crisis of mortality with her aging body.
Xu Chunniang smiled lowly, immediately withdrew her consciousness, and returned to loneliness again.
Her reaction was swift. In just three breaths, she realized that the fifth catastrophe had arrived.
Everything she "sees" with her spiritual consciousness is just an illusion that the disaster wants her to see.
The formation she had personally set up during the Tribulation Period could not be broken unless a strong person at the level of the Demon Emperor came in person.
How could it be reduced to ruins just because of the aftermath of the fight between two monks in the integration stage?
Shortly after regaining her consciousness, Xu Chunniang's eyes regained their brightness.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the roof beams.
She was still in the house where she had been in seclusion before, and was currently lying on the bed, maintaining the same position as before she lost her sight.
Even the furnishings in the house are the same as before.
Xu Chunniang snorted lightly and closed her eyes again.
The consciousness can be faked, and the scenes that can be seen with the eyes can also be faked.
In each round of disaster, all damage to the body is irreversible.
Only by overcoming this round of disaster can we successfully recover.
Her eyes were blinded in the fourth catastrophe, so it was naturally impossible for her to recover suddenly.
No matter how real everything she saw before her eyes was just what the illusion wanted to show her.
Shortly after her "recovery of sight", Xu Chunniang heard sounds and smelled smells again, but she still ignored them and pretended that nothing happened.
The fifth round of disaster lasted for three months before unwillingly disappearing.
Xu Chunniang was lying on the bed, motionless. Her body was old and weak, but she had a tenacity that was as immovable as a mountain.
She has a strong enough Taoist heart and can face new disasters at any time.
However, she waited for a long time, but the sixth round of disaster never came.
The previous five rounds of disasters came one after another, barely giving Xu Chunniang a chance to breathe, and they used various methods to weaken her strength and shake her will.
Judging from this, the sixth round of catastrophe should not be late.
But Xu Chunniang waited in her room day after day, year after year, and the sixth round of disaster still hadn't arrived.
This feeling of unresolved is the most irritating.
It's not the scariest thing when the knife falls.
The scary thing is that you don't know when the knife will suddenly fall.
It might be the next moment, or it might be hundreds or thousands of years later.
I have to say that at first, Xu Chunniang's mind was really affected by this unbearable waiting.
While waiting day after day, a trace of boredom and restlessness arose in her heart.
She wished that the sixth calamity would come immediately instead of letting her wait endlessly.
But after realizing that her state of mind was affected, Xu Chunniang quickly realized that the sixth calamity was very likely to have arrived many years ago.
Isn't this unresolved feeling of suffocation and oppression, as well as the vague boredom and restlessness in her heart, brought about by the sixth calamity?
After she came to her senses, Xu Chunniang quickly sorted out her state of mind and returned to the calm, clear state she had at the beginning.
The heart of Tao is all things, no matter how the outside world is shaken by wind and rain, it will remain unmoved.
After that, no matter how much she waited, it would no longer affect her mood.
At this point, the sixth calamity, which seemed to be without crisis but was actually growing secretly, has been successfully passed.
From the end of the first round of catastrophes, there is only the last catastrophe left.
After realizing this, Xu Chunniang didn't feel too excited.
As early as the fourth calamity, in order to resist the long loneliness, she began to restrain her emotions.
Her emotions, anger, sorrow, fear, and disgust were all restrained by her to the point of being close to nothing.
She will not be sad because of the decline in her cultivation and the aging of her body, nor will she be happy because she is about to successfully survive the first round of disaster.
Xu Chunniang is like a real ancient well, calm and without waves.
Even if the demon world crumbles into pieces in front of her, and hundreds of millions of living beings are facing catastrophe, she will only quietly watch them die in despair...
No, this isn't right.
Xu Chunniang suddenly felt that if the demon world really fell apart in front of her, she would not be so calm.
If she were a demon, she would probably be very excited and try to plunder all available resources to strengthen herself.
If she were the real person, she might be filled with emotion, mixed with a little compassion.
These billions of creatures are too weak to control their own life and death, and can only be annihilated along with the torrent of heaven and earth.
Regardless of whether it is the demon body or the original body, whether it is excitement, emotion or compassion, in short, she cannot be completely indifferent in the face of such a major event of the collapse of the realm!
Therefore, her mood at the moment was not quite right.
When Xu Chunniang realized this, she understood that the seventh calamity had taken away her emotions.
In the long loneliness, she restrained her emotions, but restrained them and did not express or erase them.
It was impossible for her to lose all her joy, anger, sorrow, fear and disgust.
The only thing that can do this is disaster.
Xu Chunniang couldn't help but lick her lips, and there was a hint of smile on her old face.
This was only the first round of disasters, and she had already been hit several times. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and noticed something was wrong in time.
After she lost her profound cultivation, strong body, five senses and consciousness, she actually lost her emotions.
The disasters during this tribulation period are indeed all-pervasive and extremely difficult to deal with.
I don’t know how other people survived these seven rounds of tribulations?
What Xu Chunniang didn't know was that the stronger the strength, the more difficult it would be to deal with the disaster it caused.
On the contrary, it is easier for monks with weaker strength to survive these forty-nine disasters.
As for her dual cultivation of spirit and demon, her true body and demon body both possessed the Dzogchen cultivation level of the integration stage before entering the Tribulation Stage.
She has an understanding of laws far beyond ordinary people.
It is precisely because of these reasons that Xu Chunniang experienced catastrophes that ordinary people could not cope with.
The difficulty of overcoming the tribulation is naturally extraordinary.
After realizing that her emotions had been deprived, Xu Chunniang began to try hard to recall the respective personalities of her true body and the demonic body.
The main body is calm and measured, while the demonic body can escape at will.
The main body promotes good, and the demonic body punishes evil.
One of them practices Taoism, and the other practices magic. They are almost two extremes, and their personalities are also polarized.
However, upon closer inspection, there are many similarities between the original body and the demon body.
For example, they also pursue strong power, and in order to become stronger, they can endure a lot of pain and loneliness that ordinary people cannot bear.
They all have strong confidence in themselves and believe that they will definitely achieve enlightenment and become immortals.
The ontology lives within the laws, understands the laws, and makes good use of the laws.
The demonic body seems to be accustomed to ignoring the laws from birth and always wants to break them.
But whether it is the original body or the demon body, whether it is good or evil, it is all her.
At this thought, Xu Chunniang's heart agitated, she opened her eyes suddenly, and found that her lost emotions had returned.
