At least, in Ye Guhsing's opinion, in the entire Mystic Moon Continent, there should not be more than five people who could endure that kind of pain. Even if he was someone who had gone through the body tempering process of the Ice Fire Pool, he didn't dare say that he could survive the Fire Of Retribution's burn and not have a mental breakdown.
Seeing Tian Xie, who was sitting cross legged in the middle of the plaza, become more and more pale, Ye Guhsing knew that this Second Master of his had reached his limits of endurance. Under the trial of the Fire Of Retribution, the longer someone persevered, the greater their achievements would be in the future.
From the descent of the Fire Of Retribution, Tian Xie had endured for an entire two hours. If it was anyone else, they would have died from Qi deviation by now, and even if they were not, they would have gone insane from the terrifying pain.
Two hours later, when Ye Guhsing felt that his Second Master had already reached the limit of what he could endure, all of a sudden, Tian Xie fiercely opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of jet-black blood.
Tian Xie's face regained some color and he started to withstand the terrifying Fire Of Retribution's forging once again. Another two hours had passed, and Tian Xie seemed to have completely adapted to the scorching feeling in his body.
As his meridians were burned to ashes, the burned meridians began to take shape once more, and this time, they were even more tenacious than before. For an entire half day, Tian Xie was completely immersed in the burning and gathering of the meridians in his body.
Another two hours passed. The tribulation cloud in the sky seemed to have realized that the Fire Of Retribution that they had released could no longer cause trouble for the tiny human who went through the tribulation in the middle of the plaza. Following the rapid rotation of the tribulation cloud, the Fire Of Retribution that were in Tian Xie's body immediately came out of Tian Xie's body as if it was being summoned, and then returned to the center of the tribulation cloud and disappeared.
"Second Master, good job!" The instant the Fire Of Retribution disappeared, Ye Guhsing suddenly couldn't hold back his excited shout. The disappearance of the Fire Of Retribution proved that Tian Xie, the second stage of the aurous core tribulation, had completely charged over.
Hearing Ye Guhsing's shouts of excitement, the friends sitting around him were exceptionally excited, especially Yao Wuya. His and Tian Xie's cultivation realms were about the same, the only difference was that when Yao Wuya fought with other people, his emphasis was on defense while Tian Xie, the sword cultivator, was more focused on offense.
After passing through the second Fire Of Retribution tribulation, what followed was the most terrifying soul tribulation in the aurous core tribulation. A tribulation of the soul was, as its name implied, a tribulation that tested the soul and state of mind. If one failed, they would sink into an endless slumber, and if one failed, their soul would shatter and dissipate. It was precisely because of this tribulation of the soul that when Mystic Moon Continent approached them, at least half of the tribulations of the soul would be destroyed.
What is a soul tribulation? Ye Guhsing didn't know before, but after he obtained the Heavenly Medicinal Garden, Ye Guhsing found out from the records that the soul tribulation was an illusion. A person's soul tribulation descended, and the person who underwent such a tribulation would enter the illusion set up by the tribulation cloud, and this illusion was not specific.
The tribulation cloud in the sky, after calming down for a few minutes, started to spin once again. And this time, every time it spun, a soul-stirring sound would come out.
After the tribulation cloud had rotated for a few dozen rounds, a milky-white gas suddenly rushed out from between the tribulation cloud and instantly wrapped Tian Xie up.
The moment he was enveloped by the milky-white aura, Ye Guhsing, who was in the distance, discovered that Tian Xie's originally sharp eyes had suddenly become confused, as if he was immersed in a concept.
"Oh no, Great Master, the Second Master seems to have been bewitched by the illusion created by the tribulation cloud." Seeing that Tian Xie's eyes were becoming more and more confused, Ye Guhsing anxiously said to Yao Wuya who was beside him.
"Hsing, don't be impatient, your Second Master has its own destiny, you can only rely on yourself for this tribulation, no one can interfere, if you interfere, the might of the tribulation of the soul will increase, now you can only rely on your Second Master's efforts, but you can rest assured, your Second Master's Soul Stage has already entered the Golden Core Realm for a long time, so I believe that he will be able to pass this tribulation of the soul." Yao Wuya comforted Ye Guhsing.
Hearing Yao Wuya's words, although Ye Guhsing was still abnormally worried, his words were not wrong. This type of tribulation could only rely on himself, and with help from others, the difficulty would increase by several fold.
The milky-white substance which descended from the tribulation of souls had covered Tian Xie for an entire four hours, and the milky-white energy wrapped around Tian Xie's face, which was in the middle of the tribulation of souls, was exceptionally beautiful. Sometimes happy, sometimes angry, sometimes gentle, sometimes sad, and sometimes full of killing intent.
Just when everyone thought that Tian Xie's soul was about to be destroyed as well, a golden sword-shaped mark suddenly appeared on his forehead. The moment this mark appeared, the rich expression on Tian Xie's face slowly faded, and in the end, became abnormally calm.
As Tian Xie's expression gradually calmed down, the surrounding people noticed that Tian Xie's body started to erupt with a terrifying Strength Of Soul, and the terrifying Strength Of Soul started to absorb the milky-white gas around his body at a very fast speed.
A quarter of an hour later, all of the milky-white gases surrounding Tian Xie had been completely absorbed by Tian Xie.
When the last bit of the milky-white aura was completely absorbed by the Strength Of Soul, Tian Xie suddenly opened his eyes.
In the distance, Ye Guhsing and the rest instantly noticed that Tian Xie had changed when he opened his eyes. The aura of the previous Tian Xie could be said to be extremely powerful, but now, he looked like an extremely ordinary old man. If not for the black Ghost King Sword on his back, Ye Guhsing would even suspect that his Second Master was actually a cultivator.
When he opened his eyes, Tian Xie was not in a hurry to leave the center of the plaza. Instead, he took out the Ghost King Sword from his back once again.
As the Ghost King Sword was taken out of its scabbard, Tian Xie's entire aura instantly became several, if not ten times sharper than before.
"Sword Shattering The Sky!" A loud roar shook the heavens. Following that, the Ghost King Sword shone even brighter as a terrifying sword Qi that could destroy the heavens and the earth shot towards the gigantic tribulation cloud in the sky.
"Boom!" A terrifying explosion rang out, and after the explosion, the surrounding crowd of people couldn't help but reveal expressions of extreme fear.
They realized that the black tribulation cloud that they had crushed for half a day earlier had been slashed open by Tian Xie. The tribulation cloud that had been split apart had originally been trying to gather together again, but the intent of heaven and earth contained in that sword strike that Tian Xie had slashed out was too terrifying, it forcefully dispersed the tribulation cloud and disappeared in the end.
As long as Tian Xie completely converted the Vital Qi in his body into Jindan (True Essence) in the next few days, the multicolored light would descend and Tian Xie would be able to break through space and ascend to an even higher cultivation space, just like the elders in the history of Mystic Moon Continent.
"Congratulations to Second Master for successfully passing the Golden Core Tribulation!" As the sky cleared, Ye Guhsing could not hold back his excitement and immediately rushed over from the spectator stand, and knelt down and said respectfully to Tian Xie.
"Haha, Hsing, get up, master's current achievements, it is most likely due to your luck!" Looking at the disciple kneeling in front of him, Tian Xie liked him more and more. From the time Ye Guhsing was still a baby, Tian Xie had raised him up with a mouthful of saliva.2
"Old Yao, this old man has already succeeded. Now it's all up to you." "My old brother is waiting for you to explore higher cultivation spaces together." Supporting Ye Guhsing who was kneeling on the ground, Tian Xie said to Yao Wuya who was beside him happily.
"Don't worry, Old Devil. Although your tribulation is terrifyingly powerful, I'm confident that I can overcome it." Yao Wuya said confidently.
"Haha, that's good, that's good!" Tian Xie said while laughing loudly once again.
Escaping the aurous core tribulation was a major event, and in the last thousand years, no one in the Mystic Moon Continent had been able to survive the terrifying aurous core tribulation. Tian Xie's tribulation had succeeded, which signified that he would be able to raise his Upper Realm very soon.
In an instant, all of the people around the plaza who had a trace of friendship with Tian Xie walked over and congratulated Tian Xie. Even the Martial Sovereign Nie Yunfei and the Extreme Miracle Chen Beishan, who had interacted with Tian Xie previously, came over to congratulate Tian Xie. In an instant, the entire imperial plaza seemed to be abnormally lively.
As for, the current Great Monarch Of Star And Moon of the Star-Moon Empire, he was so happy that his mouth was wide open. Tian Xie had succeeded in plundering the Star-Moon Empire in the Palace Plaza, which signified that after that, the Star-Moon Empire plaza would become the entire Sacred Ground. If anyone dared to trespass into the Star-moon City, they would be invading the Sacred Grounds, and even if it was the Venerable Expert s, they would have to become the public enemy of the entire Mystic Moon Continent.
Wave after wave of guests came to the eastern side of the plaza to pay their respects to Tian Xie. Just when the last wave of guests had left, the originally blue and clear sky suddenly surged with winds and clouds. Not long later, a black colored tribulation cloud that was slightly smaller than the last formed again in the sky.
When everyone saw this situation, they knew that the other main character of today's gathering, Medicine Sovereign Yao Wuya, was here.

The first one arrived.
