Chapter 184: Opening Three Apertures in a Row, Upgrading the Lifebound Treasure

Seeing the Heavenly Tribulation dissipate, Lian Zhengyu and the others quickly flew toward Galaxy Island.

They knew that Zhang Yuhe had already undergone the Heavenly Tribulation.

Thinking of such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation,

and how Zhang Yuhe was able to withstand it, everyone could not help but feel exceptionally excited.

This indicated at least two things.

First, Zhang Yuhe's strength was definitely much greater than they had originally imagined.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to withstand the bombardment of so many Prodigy phantoms.

Another point was that,

after the test just now,

everyone was filled with confidence in the Tribulation Platform set up by Zhang Yuhe.

The Tribulation Platform could weaken and neutralize most of the power of such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation.

If it were other True Immortal Disciples Undergoing Tribulation, wouldn't it be even more effortless?

With the help of this Tribulation Platform,

perhaps it wouldn't be long

before a large number of Golden Immortal Cultivators emerged from their three factions.

Thinking of this,

everyone became incredibly excited.

Everyone arrived at the summit of Galaxy Peak and congratulated Zhang Yuhe in unison.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, on passing the Heavenly Tribulation and taking another step forward on the path of the Immortal Dao."

Zhang Yuhe quickly replied with humility,

"I was just lucky to succeed. I thank you all for your support, Fellow Daoists."

"Without the help of all the Fellow Daoists, I wouldn't have been able to complete the setup of the Tribulation Platform."

"In that case, it would have been quite difficult to pass such a Heavenly Tribulation."

Zhang Yuhe was not just being polite; he was offering his heartfelt gratitude.

Under the leadership of Yu Liwei, the remaining three factions of the Ji'an Sea Area

had demonstrated a powerful force of unity.

Without the full support of the Nine Immortals Sect and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect,

relying solely on the Dao Saint Sect and himself to complete the construction of the Tribulation Platform,

he wouldn't know how long he would have had to wait.

For all the Golden Immortal Cultivators who participated in this matter, regardless of their motives,

Zhang Yuhe was sincerely grateful.

"Dao Friend Zhang is too polite. With your peerless talent, you would have taken this step sooner or later even without our help."

"Indeed, we merely took a trip to other sea areas and didn't help all that much."

"Moreover, constructing the Tribulation Platform is a major collective endeavor for us."

"With this Tribulation Platform, the True Immortal Disciples of our respective Sects will be blessed in the future."

"Yes, this is truly a foundation for generations to come."

As everyone exchanged pleasantries, they looked at the massive Tribulation Platform on Galaxy Peak.

At this moment, Lian Zhengyu, who was standing nearby, smiled and said to the crowd,

"Junior Brother Zhang's successful Breakthrough to the Golden Immortal Realm is indeed a major event worth celebrating."

"I have decided to hold a Golden Immortal Grand Ceremony at the Dao Saint Sect in three years. I welcome all Fellow Daoists to grace us with your presence."

Long Xingxiu, who was standing nearby, quickly replied,

"Most certainly! How could I miss Dao Friend Zhang's Golden Immortal Grand Ceremony?"

"I will definitely attend on time."

…

On Galaxy Peak, the crowd discussed the Dao while carefully inspecting the Tribulation Platform.

Seeing that the Tribulation Platform was completely undamaged, everyone could not help but marvel.

After a long time,

they discussed the details regarding the subsequent use and guarding of the Tribulation Platform.

The importance of the Tribulation Platform was beyond doubt.

If nothing else,

just the ten thousand plus Lightning Absorbing Pillars, all of which were Low Grade Immortal Artifacts,

was enough to make many people envious.

It would certainly not do to have no one guarding such an important place.

Considering that this Tribulation Platform was jointly constructed by the three factions,

it was finally decided

that the three factions would take turns sending Golden Immortal Cultivators to guard the Tribulation Platform on Galaxy Peak.

The rotation would take place once every ten thousand years.

As for the Disciples of each faction, if they wished to use the Tribulation Platform, they only needed to pay a certain amount of Immortal Spirit Stones

as a maintenance fee for the Tribulation Platform, with no other restrictions.

After agreeing on the details, the crowd dispersed one after another.

Only Lian Zhengyu, Song Heguang, and Zhang Yuhe remained at the scene.

This was, after all, the territory of the Dao Saint Sect.

According to the results of the previous discussion,

for the first ten thousand years, Zhang Yuhe would guard Galaxy Island and watch over the Tribulation Platform.

After everyone had dispersed,

Lian Zhengyu said with some embarrassment,

"I decided on the Golden Immortal Grand Ceremony just now without consulting you first, Junior Brother. I hope you won't mind."

"The Sect Master can decide on this matter; I have no objections."

Zhang Yuhe waved his hand, expressing his understanding.

He naturally knew why Lian Zhengyu was so anxious to hold the Golden Immortal Grand Ceremony.

The Dao Saint Sect had been in decline for hundreds of thousands of years.

Now that a Golden Immortal Cultivator had finally emerged, they naturally had to publicize it with great fanfare.

Although he had always kept a low profile and disliked such ostentatious displays,

as a member of the Dao Saint Sect, he also had to be understanding of Lian Zhengyu's difficulties.

Furthermore, the prosperity and development of the Sect only brought him benefits and no harm.

In any case, he would only need to show his face when the time came.

Lian Zhengyu would naturally arrange the specific matters of the ceremony.

He didn't need to worry about it.

…

Having successfully broken through to the Golden Immortal Realm,

Zhang Yuhe specially made time to return to the Sect's mountain gate.

He retrieved some Chaos Beast Crystal Cores from the treasury.

He first used nine Six-Star Chaos Beast Crystal Cores to upgrade his Lifebound Treasure to a Medium Grade Immortal Artifact.

Then, using the crystal cores, he opened the fourth to sixth apertures.

However, to his surprise,

when opening the sixth aperture, he actually failed twice in a row.

It was not until the third attempt that he succeeded.

Opening the apertures of the Nascent Soul did not have a one hundred percent success rate; rather, the further one went, the higher the failure rate.

This was also why

many Golden Immortal Cultivators might not have even opened their fourth aperture.

For them, resources for Nascent Soul Aperture Opening were already extremely difficult to find.

If they failed once, wanting to find suitable aperture-opening resources again,

they wouldn't know how long they would have to wait.

Other people's aperture-opening secret techniques were not as easy to manage as Zhang Yuhe's Chaos Aperture Opening Technique.

The Chaos Aperture Opening Technique only required Chaos Beast Crystal Cores to open the apertures.

Although Chaos Beast Crystal Cores were indeed very precious,

and Advanced Chaos Beast Crystal Cores were even more so,

this resource was, after all, vast in quantity.

On the Chaos Continent, Chaos Beasts were as numerous as hair on an ox, impossible to completely slaughter.

As long as his strength was sufficient, he did not fear lacking aperture-opening resources.

The Dao Saint Sect had quite a few Chaos Beast Crystal Cores in the reserves left behind by Lu Yunfei back then.

Zhang Yuhe had only mentioned it briefly to Lian Zhengyu and successfully obtained the crystal cores.

Not only was the issue of aperture-opening easily resolved, but even the Nine Heavens Primordial Swords were all upgraded to Medium Grade Immortal Artifacts.

For other Cultivators wanting to open their apertures, it was not nearly as easy as it was for him.

Most aperture-opening secret techniques in the Immortal Realm required the assistance of certain specific Heaven And Earth Treasures or specially made Immortal Pills.

These things were already extremely rare.

Finding even a single set of aperture-opening resources was very difficult, and on top of that, there was a chance of failure.

If one failed to open their apertures repeatedly, it could practically cause their Dao Heart to collapse.

Therefore, among Golden Immortal Cultivators, very few were able to open six apertures.

As far as he knew,

in the entire Ji'an Sea Area, Yu Liwei was the only Golden Immortal Cultivator who had opened six apertures.

Others had not even opened five apertures.

This was also the main reason why Yu Liwei was able to easily suppress the Golden Immortal Cultivators of the Ouyang Family and the Qian Family back then.

Opening two more apertures could increase one's strength by at least fifty percent.

On top of that, she was already in the Late Stage of the Golden Immortal Realm, giving her an advantage in Realm.

That was why Yu Liwei could easily suppress the others.

…

Three years later.

Yunfei Island was decorated with lanterns and colored banners.

Joyful smiles overflowed from the faces of everyone in the Dao Saint Sect.

Everyone had not been this happy since Lu Yunfei went missing.

Today was the big day of holding the Golden Immortal Celebration for Ancestor Zhang.

From time to time, visiting Cultivators holding invitations flew onto Yunfei Island.
