True transmigration was an extremely subtle experience.

Zhong Shenxiu seemed to have fallen into a dark stream, surrounded by chaos everywhere.

If it weren’t for the faint, glowing aura of the Thousand Gates outside his body, though weak, it counterbalanced the erosion of chaos.

Perhaps even with the power of the Primordial Pill, he couldn’t have survived long in the gap between these two worlds.

All concepts of time and space seemed to have lost their definitions, becoming chaotic.

When a light finally appeared before Zhong Shenxiu’s eyes, he found himself in a completely new world.

Trees lushly surrounded him and the grass was filled with the sound of orioles.

Not far off, there was a lake as clear as jade.

"Whew..."

He breathed gently, and an outer elixir emerged in his sea of knowledge, automatically absorbing the omnipresent vital energy between heaven and earth.

"This place, seems to be another Cultivation World..."

Feeling the environmental vital energy not much different from that of the Seven Luminaries Heaven, Zhong Shenxiu contentedly stretched.

He looked at his right hand and smiled again.

In his palm, there unexpectedly appeared a golden page filled with dense text detailing a cultivation technique.

Supreme Dragon Tiger Tribulation Suppressing Scripture!

"Most of my foundation is based on the Dragon Tiger Pill Book, and Zhang Taiyi’s derived Outer Elixir Method also leans towards the Daoist Skill of the Dragon Tiger Sect... Having this scripture as a reference to comprehend the Outer Dao Primordial Spirit Method should make things go smoothly..."

Relying on his previous planning and the significant changes in the heavens and earth, Zhong Shenxiu finally managed to obtain this spell from Zhong Wu’s mind.

"Though this person is a True Disciple, his status is not as high as Zhang Taiyi, lacking the cultivation methods beyond the Primordial Spirit stage, but it should be enough..."

"That Nine Palace Cave Heaven, I won’t be able to return in a short time..."

Thinking this, Zhong Shenxiu swiftly glanced over his attribute panel:

[Title: The Descender]

[Realm: Primordial Pill]

[Physical Divine Skill: Void Poison, Nine Deaths Revival (9), Indestructible Stone Buddha]

[Alchemy: Grandmaster]

[Artifact Refining: Grandmaster]

[Heavenly Show Points: 1203 (3%)]

[Thousand Gates: Opening (1%)]

...

"The previous uproar in the Dragon Tiger Blessed Land, even a Demon Dao Primordial Spirit Ancestor knew of my existence, indeed the Heavenly Show Points were quite bountiful..."

"Besides, since I’ve truly transmigrated, I don’t need to fulfill any more lingering desires."

"It’s just that the opening of the Thousand Gates still requires some time to wait, perhaps it needs charging?"

"The Second Yan Han Empire seems to be headed for chaos; I’ll just cultivate in this world for now... If this place is especially suitable for cultivation, maybe I could just stay here."

"It’s just unknown, how the flow of time compares between the two worlds..."

Zhong Shenxiu came to the edge of the jade-like lake and found a piece of Qingshi to sit cross-legged on.

His mind became immensely tranquil, as if he had undergone days of fasting and bathing, and he began to study the golden page cultivation method in his hand.

"The Supreme Dragon Tiger Tribulation Suppressing Scripture" is only imparted to True Disciples and Primordial Pill Elders, and its Daoist Skill is naturally incomparable in its wonder.

The text is written in ancient seal script, known as ’Dragon Scripts and Phoenix Seals,’ which best articulates the mysteries of heaven and earth.

If it were written in other texts, it wouldn’t possess such profound mysteries.

If members of the Demon Sect were to get their hands on this treasure, they would likely be completely clueless.

Fortunately, as a legitimate successor of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect, Zhang Taiyi had been studying this type of seal script since his youth.

During the years he enslaved the Divine Soul of his opponent, Zhong Shenxiu had already extracted all the useful knowledge.

Thus, he faced no obstacles in interpreting the scripture.

Indeed, he was also familiar with some secret expressions, hints, and metaphors unique to Daoist sects, especially the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect.

"This is also a benefit of inheriting the Daoist lineage; otherwise, if you gave me a Primordial Divine Secret Scripture from the Taiping Sect, I might not understand it, let alone the texts from different systems like the Buddhist Sect and Demon Technique..."

The fundamental inheritance of a major sect involves not only foundational Daoist Skills but also a culture, an imprint, a nurturing, and an accumulation.

Zhong Shenxiu sighed and continued reading.

"Supreme Dragon Tiger Tribulation Suppressing Scripture," starting with the explanation of generating Mana, outlines various Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Techniques, which can combine into sharper Divine Powers, such as Universe in the Sleeve, and Twelve Yuan Chen Universe Divine Light, all of which are considered top-tier Great Divine Powers.

Naturally, as a book derived from "Taiyi Dragon Tiger Control True Seal Divine Method," it matches well with the "Dragon Tiger Pill Book."

Those elders who formed Primordial Pills using the "Dragon Tiger Pill Book" could directly start cultivating from the Core Formation Chapter.

And this is precisely where the true essence of the "Supreme Dragon Tiger Tribulation Suppressing Scripture" lies.

This Daoist scripture excels at dealing with and resolving disasters and tribulations, containing secrets for ’Suppressing,’ ’Transforming,’ and ’Substituting.’

’Suppressing’ refers to the Secret Technique of Suppressing Tribulation, allowing a Cultivator, upon sensing an impending tribulation, to use a secret technique to temporarily suppress the disaster until they can return to their sect, refine several Protective Dharma Treasures, or invite friends and relatives to protect them, thereby passing the tribulation with ease.

’Transforming’ involves various methods of transforming tribulations; like Zhang Taiyi previously transforming his Core Formation Heavenly Tribulation into a Mortal Tribulation and then surviving by killing, just showing a fraction of this method.

This art of transforming tribulations can turn Heavenly Tribulations into Mortal Tribulations and vice versa, the application of which is ingenious and depends solely on the mind.

Additionally, one could also gradually resolve their destined tribulations by accumulating significant merit and by relying on the auspicious fate and life conditions of nobles.

The last, ’Substituting,’ involves the Substitution Method of Tribulation, which can forcefully snatch a slim chance of survival from a situation of near-certain death!

This Substitution Secret Technique has both righteous and evil versions; the righteous method involves crafting a Dharma Treasure linked to one’s aura to take on the tribulation in place of the Cultivator.

The evil method, however, is rather cruel—it requires a substitution by another person, preferably by finding a disciple to whom to pass down one’s mantle and then secretly using a secret technique so that they take the Cultivator’s place in facing the tribulation, effectively finding a scapegoat.

"Relying on these various tribulation-transcending secret techniques, the Primordial Pill and Primordial Spirit practitioners of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect live the most luxuriant lives in the entire Second Yan Han Empire."

"Yet even so, the number of Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect practitioners who perish under various tribulations is still significant, just slightly fewer compared to other sects."

"The scripture warns at the end—’Heavenly Tribulations are the easiest to overcome, Mortal Tribulations are hard to guard against, and Fate Tribulations are the most difficult to resist!’"

Zhong Shenxiu felt a deep understanding of this.

Heavenly Tribulations are blatant and straightforward; one just has to fight with their current Daoist level. If one survives the Heavenly Tribulation, they succeed.

For instance, the first disaster of Primordial Pill Formation is being struck by heavenly thunder. If you survive, continue to live freely; if not, you’re obliterated—utterly straightforward.

Mortal Tribulations are much more unpredictable. Some are simply ordinary tribulations, like an enemy calculating your position and slaying you with a sword before your Daoist Skill matures—easy to pass if you survive.

However, Mortal Tribulations are unpredictable and hard to foresee, often catching one unaware even as disaster looms.

Even people close to a Cultivator, such as their Dao partners, children, or disciples, might become their Mortal Tribulation. Even if you kill them, you’d still be left with a Heart Demon.

As for Fate Tribulations, they are impossible to resist.

This is because Fate Tribulations often originate internally and cannot be resolved with Protective Dharma Treasures, nor even with the support of a mentor.

For instance, the second and third disasters of Primordial Pill Formation, Fire Tribulation and Wind Tribulation, both start internally within the Cultivator, like demonic possession, and are extremely difficult to resist.

By the time of the fourth tribulation of Primordial Spirit, it becomes even more inscrutable, such as falling in love with a woman beset by karmic debts. Even after revolving through three lifetimes, one cannot escape, leading even masters to sigh that it’s a ’fated tribulation destined in one’s life!’"
