Chapter 732: Nine Preparations

Tang San's body was constantly enduring immense pain, but his expression remained calm throughout.

In his previous life, he had already experienced the extreme yin-yang tempering of the Ice-Fire Alchemical Body, so he knew exactly what would happen in such a situation. The yin-yang energies now were far more intense than those of the Ice-Fire Alchemical Body, but he now had the powerful forces of Golden Armor Transformation, Lion-Tiger Transformation, and Dragon Roc Transformation protecting his body.

At this moment, his entire body was a radiant golden color. Under the protection and defense of the other eight bloodlines, the immense energy of the yin-yang forces was being forcibly compressed inward, continuously overlapping, merging, and rotating. The Blue Adamant Emperor was repeatedly being shattered and reborn within, undergoing a difficult fusion with the two energies.

Tang San didn't know how many times he had rehearsed this moment in his mind, but everything was part of his plan. He knew very well that from the moment he fully committed to summoning the heavenly tribulation, everything would become irreversible, so there could be no mistakes. Without absolute and complete preparation, he wouldn't have appeared here, wouldn't have summoned the tribulation.

To cross the tribulation, Tang San had made nine layers of preparations in total. In his original calculations, just six of them would give him more than an eighty percent chance of success. The remaining three were contingencies, just in case.

The current situation was exactly as he had calculated.

When the heavenly tribulation descended, shaking the Ancestral Court, what would be the first reaction of the Emperors within? Naturally, it would be to protect the Ancestral Court, a place of fundamental importance to both demons and nymphs.

So they would never allow the tribulation to fall on the Ancestral Court easily. The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor, in particular, would go to great lengths to protect his Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain. This place had accumulated fortune for countless years, and if that fortune were broken, the consequences for demons and nymphs would be unimaginable.

And this was one of Tang San's nine trump cards—playing on their fears!

Sure enough, in the early stages of the tribulation, the Emperors, using their immense power, dispersed the tribulation for Tang San, giving him ample time to complete the fusion of his transcendent bloodline.

The fusion of the yin-yang energy with the Blue Adamant Emperor was even more difficult than with the Golden Armor Transformation. This was essentially the fusion of three major bloodlines, and the yin-yang energy had existed since the beginning of the universe, placing it on a higher level than the Golden Armor Transformation. Therefore, the heavenly might it attracted was bound to be even more terrifying. If this were happening elsewhere and Tang San encountered the tribulation during this process, he wouldn't even have the chance to fuse the bloodlines; he would likely be reduced to ashes in the tribulation.

But now, his fusion process could be described as calm and gradual. After all, he was currently on the Heavenly Bloom, a place where fortune was concentrated. Through his previous observations and perceptions, combined with his subsequent reflections, Tang San understood that the lotus seeds within the Heavenly Bloom were an exceptional existence. Simply put, they could be described as embodying absolute fortune.

What is absolute fortune? It is fortune without any counterbalance, pure fortune with no corresponding misfortune.

A plane inherently possessed both fortune and misfortune. This was a law of nature. But the reason the plane could thrive was not that the two were balanced, but precisely that they were not; fortune as a whole slightly surpassed misfortune. This allowed a plane to be stable and slowly evolve. Conversely, if misfortune came to outweigh fortune, the plane would be on the brink of destruction. Both situations could and did happen; it was, as said, a law of nature.

This realization came to Tang San after entering the Hell Garden and as his cultivation of the Discerning Eye of Heaven continued to deepen.

The divine realm he belonged to had once faced a great crisis, being swept away by spacetime chaos. Looking back, it was clear that the divine realm also dealt with the forces of fortune and misfortune. When it was swept away by the chaotic currents of spacetime, it was undoubtedly due to misfortune greatly outweighing fortune, thereby attracting the oppression of the cosmic laws. In fact, the very roots of fortune and misfortune were likely closely tied to these cosmic laws.

At this moment, as Tang San sat cross-legged on the Heavenly Bloom, he was basking in pure, unadulterated fortune. This was the greatest private reserve left by the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor for the Celestial Fox Clan! This absolute fortune was also Tang San's second trump card. By merging the yin-yang energy and crossing the tribulation here, his chances of success were significantly higher.

The third trump card was the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor's current situation. Why couldn't he sense the Hell Garden plane he had arranged himself? It was because the Spacetime Lighthouse was floating in midair before Tang San, emitting ripples of strange radiance.

Tang San had been near the Heavenly Bloom for nearly two days. What had he been doing during that time? He had been preparing, gradually linking his Spacetime Lighthouse with this plane.

Although the Spacetime Lighthouse had not yet been fully refined, under the continuous refinement with large amounts of Rainbow Skyfire Liquid, it had already reached the level of a divine weapon. Moreover, it was made of the largest piece of Spacetime Beacon Tang San had ever seen. Even he, a God King, was in awe at this item, which showed just how significant its functions could be.

The Spacetime Lighthouse was a guide that locked onto planes.

In the universe, there were many parallel spaces that could not be reached by speed alone. For these parallel spaces to meet one another was mostly a matter of chance, unless their temporal and spatial coordinates could be locked onto and there was sufficient power to travel through time and space to a clear location.

This was the function of a Spacetime Lighthouse. A powerful divine realm could cover not just one but multiple planes. When the planes covered were not in the same space, a Spacetime Beacon artifact was required to lock onto these planes, thereby allowing the divine realm to establish communication and obtain the power of faith. This was how important a Spacetime Beacon was.

𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The Spacetime Beacon that was the basic material of Tang San's Spacetime Lighthouse was enormous, and its influence on time and space was naturally immense. At least in Tang San’s memory, including his interactions with other God Kings, there had never been a Spacetime Beacon of this size. And now, though he was no longer a God King nor in control of a divine realm, he had refined this Spacetime Lighthouse into his own divine item.

Utilizing the power of the Spacetime Lighthouse, Tang San directly disrupted the spatial coordinates of the Hell Garden, drawing upon his experience as a God King and the subtle guidance provided by the Spacetime Lighthouse. Although the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor’s cultivation was far superior to his, the former’s knowledge in this area was vastly lacking; there was no comparison.

Tang San had anticipated that during his tribulation in the Hell Garden, the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor would likely target him directly. Although the Emperor was not skilled in combat, his divine consciousness was that of a First-Class God, far beyond what Tang San could contend with. But no matter how strong he was, if he couldn't lock onto the plane’s location, what good would it do?

Of course, this tactic was ineffective against the heavenly tribulation. The Hell Garden plane depended on the Falan Planet plane for its existence. Unless Tang San could refine the Spacetime Lighthouse into a transcendent divine weapon and directly remove the Hell Garden’s mini-plane from the main one, blocking the connection between planes was impossible.

As a result, the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor could still sense the presence of the Hell Garden, but his divine consciousness couldn’t lock onto it, leaving him in a state of anxious frustration.

The terrifying thunder roared violently. As the fusion of the yin-yang energy and the Blue Adamant Emperor grew tighter, the wild aura intensified, causing the heavenly tribulation to become increasingly agitated.
