Chapter 530: Oveing the Nine Tribtions, Appearance of the Nine Tribtions Pagoda


    The nine tribtions were primarily divided into three categories. The first three tribtions target the body, the middle three the soul, and thest three the heart.


    There was also a concept of nine tribtions on Earth, but it wasn’t the same. The nine tribtions of the Supreme Mountain were merely nine tests and didn’t represent any particr philosophy.


    Quickly, Ye Tian arrived at the area of the first tribtion.


    The first tribtion was that of hunger.


    Upon entering the area of the first tribtion, an invisible force acted upon Ye Tian, bringing forth an unprecedented sense of hunger, an immense hunger.


    But if it were just hunger, that wouldn’t be much. After all, why would the Children of the Universe fear hunger? As long as one endured, there wouldn’t be any problem.


    However, the key issue was that the area of the first tribtion also presented many dangers. Passing through the first tribtion wasn’t simple.


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!! Arge number of ck wolves appeared, their eyes red, emitting a hungry emotion, and they charged towards Ye Tian.


    These ck wolves weren’t real but creatures formed by the power of the Supreme Mountain.These ck wolves were not weak, eachparable to the strength of a Child of the Universe, and there were many of them. A Child of the Universe in a state of extreme hunger would definitely not be in good shape.


    And as time dragged on, the hunger would be more and more severe.


    Fight! Although Ye Tian was hungry, his strong heart condition and will allowed him to endure. These ck wolves were not very powerful to him, and he easily killed arge number of them, moving forward at a rapid pace.


    Ye Tian had no intention of staying in the first tribtion. This ce was of no use to him. Cultivating here would only temper his sense of hunger, which he had no interest in doing.


    Quickly.


    Ye Tian passed through the first tribtion area and arrived at the second.


    The second tribtion was that of fatigue, where one would fall into an extremely tired state, as if one’s physical strength had beenpletely drained. Likewise, one would face various dangers, such as attacks from many creatures, and these creatures were stronger than those in the first tribtion.


    After a series of battles, Ye Tian also passed through the second tribtion. The third tribtion was that of gue. In this tribtion, countless gue auras filled the entire area. The power of these gues could even affect a Child of the Universe. Even Ye Tian was affected by various gues, his body bing weak, but the degree of weakness was very limited because his physical strength was too terrifying.


    But if other Children of the Universe entered this area, it would probably be troublesome.


    In the area of the gue tribtion, there were also creatures carrying gue toxins. These creatures were everywhere, and Ye Tian forcefully killed his way through the third tribtion area with his overwhelming strength.


    Thus, Ye Tian overcame the first three tribtions! These first three tribtions affected only the physical state and were rtively easy, as long as one was strong enough. However, the middle three tribtions were not so simple.


    The middle three tribtions affected the soul, and although Ye Tian’s soul was strong, it was only slightly strongerpared to other Eternal princes, not to a dominating extent.


    Therefore, facing these middle three tribtions, Ye Tian naturally couldn’t take it lightly.


    In the area of the fourth tribtion.


    As soon as Ye Tian entered this area, he was attacked by the power of illusion.


    The fourth tribtion was that of illusion. If one’s soul was weaker, one would be pulled into the world of illusion, forever lost in the illusion, unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy.


    Immediately, Ye Tian activated the Eyes of Xumi and also deployed his soul-strengthening talent, greatly increasing his soul strength. Combined with his heart condition reaching the sixth level and the numerous reincarnation experiences in the Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda.


    Therefore, Ye Tian was not affected by the illusion and easily passed through the fourth tribtion. However, this fourth tribtion was the simplest of the middle three tribtions.


    After passing through the fourth tribtion, Ye Tian arrived at the fifth tribtion, which involved enduring soul attacks.


    All princes possessed soul defense items, which are essential for protecting the soul from being instantly killed by soul talents.


    After all, the soul was often a weak point for some princes. It wouldn’t do to have great physical strength but be obliterated at the soul level by the soul talent of a lesser prince.


    Therefore, powerful warriors typically refined one or two soul defense artifacts.


    In theory, having soul defense artifacts should make passing through the fifth tribtion not difficult. However, as soon as Ye Tian entered the fifth tribtion, he found his soul defense artifacts restricted by a force.


    Clearly, relying on external objects to pass through the fifth tribtion was impossible. The mechanism of the Supreme Mountain limited reliance on external aids.


    Whoosh! A phantom saber thrust towards Ye Tian, who did not dodge but endured the strike head-on.


    With a thud, the phantom saber struck Ye Tian’s soul, shattering instantly like a wooden saber against stone.


    “This strike isn’t strong, but this is just the periphery of the fifth tribtion area, where soul attacks are fewer and weaker. If I continue forward, the soul attacks will be more frequent and much stronger!”


    Ye Tian pressed on, facing increasingly frequent and powerful soul attacks.


    At first, Ye Tian could have dodged these soul attacks, but deeper into the fifth tribtion area, dodging became impossible due to their density and incredible speed. He had no choice but to endure them head-on.


    Even with Ye Tian’s soul strength, oveing the fifth tribtion required enduring some pain, but it wasn’t dangerous for him. After all, he possessed talents for soul defense and soul enhancement. If even he couldn’t pass through the fifth tribtion, then no one could.


    Ye Tian dared not linger in the fifth tribtion area. Although he had activated his soul enhancement and soul defense talents, they still consumed some soul power. Moreover, the soul attacks here were too dense. Staying here too long and exhausting his soul power was no joke.


    Confident as he was, Ye Tian wasn’t reckless.


    Thus, Ye Tian hastened through the fifth tribtion area and entered the sixth.


    The sixth tribtion area, thest of the middle three tribtions, was not only the most difficult but also the most troublesome.


    This tribtion involved enduring suppression on the soul. Deeper into the sixth tribtion area, the suppression became increasingly terrifying, to the point where weaker souls could be crushed into nothingness.


    Walking through the sixth tribtion area, Ye Tian felt a heavy burden on his soul.


    This suppression wasn’t a soul attack, so soul defense talents were ineffective; only soul enhancement talents could help.


    After activating his soul strengthening talent, Ye Tian swiftly moved through the sixth tribtion area.


    Just as he was about to leave the sixth tribtion, he spotted a figure: “Prince Tianxuan!”


    Ye Tian was slightly surprised.


    At that moment, Prince Tianxuan’splexion was somewhat pale, clearly having suffered in the sixth tribtion area.


    Prince Tianxuan also saw Ye Tian and, noticing Ye Tian’s normalplexion and swift pace, as if he hadn’t endured much pain, realized that Ye Tian must have a unique method to counter the soul suppression force.


    Whoosh! Ye Tian and Prince Tianxuan left the sixth tribtion area one after the other. As they entered the seventh tribtion area, Prince Tianxuan stopped to rest and didn’t proceed, while Ye Tian didn’t take a break and directly entered the seventh tribtion area.


    The seventh, eighth, and ninth tribtions target the heart. In other words, only those with strong heart conditions could pass these three tribtions. Eternal princes with heart conditions only reaching the fifth level couldn’t pass these tribtions, only those whose heart condition reached the limit of the fifth level and were on the verge of the sixth could hope to ovee these three tribtions.


    With his heart condition reaching the sixth level, Ye Tian was full of confidence.


    Boom! A terrifying phantom appeared before Ye Tian, gazing at him and emitting a resounding celestial tone: “Why do you cultivate?”


    Why, why, why… Countless voices flooded Ye Tian’s heart, questioning him. This seemed not just a query but an attack, targeting his innermost being and shaking his spirit.


    “To strengthen myself, to avoid being bullied, for eternal immortality, to stand at the pinnacle of the universe and look down upon all beings. In a world where the strong prey on the weak, I refuse to be the weaker party!”


    Walking forward, Ye Tian spoke loudly and clearly, showing no fear.


    Question after question was posed, and Ye Tian answered each one without slowing his pace.


    This might seem like a simple Q&A, but Ye Tian was well aware that if his momentum weakened and his heart condition retreated, he would be crushed.


    This was a battle of the heart, a sh of heart conditions! It appeared easy but was fraught with danger. Ye Tian only managed to quickly pass through the challenges because of his strong inner self and having reached the sixth level of heart condition.


    For an invincible Eternal prince like Prince Tianxuan, if his heart condition hadn’t reached the sixth level, passing the seventh tribtion would require some effort.


    Before long, Ye Tian finally passed through the seventh tribtion.


    The eighth tribtion directly affected one’s emotions. Dark shadows whispered ancientnguages all around, their countless noises disturbing Ye Tian’s emotions, seemingly trying to unleash the hatred, bloodlust, and worries within him.


    If one couldn’t withstand it, they would truly fall into a passive state and be unable to pass this tribtion.


    With the strength of his sixth-level heart condition, Ye Tian firmly stabilized his heart and walked step by step, eventually oveing the ninth tribtion after some time.


    It must be said, the ninth tribtion was indeed difficult. Other first-tier Eternal princes with only a fifth-level limit heart condition might need to prepare some means to pass the ninth tribtion.


    Now, the nine tribtions were over.


    Ye Tian saw a pagoda ahead, which was none other than the Nine Tribtions Pagoda!
