1331 Immortal Tribulation!

Elder Nijis declaration was something that only Lin Mu understood. This was because they were said in Dao script and its meaning was a little cryptic. Only those that had deeply learned it would be able to understand it.

pan,da n<0,>v,el So the name of Haima held such a deep meaning Lin Mu muttered.

Since it was a new word and had no written character, Lin Mu didnt even know it belonged to the Dao script. But elder Nijis words had allowed Lin Mu to fully understand it.

Hai as in the ocean and Ma as in a Horse so this is the true meaning of the name Ocean Horses, the ones that reign upon water. Lin Mu muttered in understanding.

Now that he thought over it again, it did seem rather obvious. The Haima tribe had four legs and were rather fast too. This could be compared to a horse, but them their jumping ability was quite high too which was not something normal horses had.

Guess we can compare that to an Immortal Beast horse? Lin Mu reckoned.

~GUSH~

The water gushed and Elder Niji rose from the sea. The clouds continued to churn as a feeling Lin Mu was familiar with appeared.

Tribulation? Lin Mu raised a brow. No, wait its not a Heavenly Tribulation

~HUALA~

A vortex of spirit Qi formed in the skies and continued to churn.

Hes breaking through hes breaking through to the Immortal realm. Thats an Immortal Qi vortex! Immortal Taegus voice could be heard from the s.h.i.+p.

Hes really breaking through? Lin Mu was surprised.

Elder Niji had reached the Immortal Ascension realm not long ago and now he was already progressing to the next level.

Guess the sea was the trigger for this. Lin Mu reckoned.

He couldnt sense the immortal Qi vortex but he could very well see the spirit Qi vortex. It was quite big and all of it was pouring into Elder Nijis body.

~HONG~

A humming sound was heard as Elder Niji broke through to the False Immortal realm!

This breakthrough was rather quick as all one needed to reach the False Immortal Realm was to absorb some Immortal Qi into their bodies. Only when they overcame their Immortal Tribulation would be truly in the Immortal Realm.

And from the current situation, it seemed like Elder Niji was fully intending to do it right now.

The Immortal Tribulation appeared soon too, as the heavens showed their might.

~WHOOSH~

In just a second, a ma.s.s of giant clouds gathered above elder Niji and burst out with rain. The rain water was heavy with each drop weighed thousands of kilograms.

~SPLASH~ SPLASH~ SPLASH~

Whenever a drop fell to the sea, it created a loud splash with water reaching a height of nearly a hundred meters. One could tell from this that if Elder Niji hadnt gone away from the Haima Tribe members, they might have easily gotten injured from this.

The heavy water fell on Elder Nijis body, but he was unaffected. To him, it was as if this was just normal rain. The drops of water felt like feathers instead of heavy lead.

~RUMBLE~

Having endured this, Elder Niji looked rather calm. But the heavens were not so.

~WHOOSH~

All the drops of heavy water that had fallen till now rose back up from the sea. They flew up before covering Elder Niji in it. The amount quickly reached a large quant.i.ty, soon turning into a fifty meter wide sphere of water.

And at the center of this sphere was none other than Elder Niji!

Hes actually triggered this Immortal Tribulation?! Immortal Taegu seemed to be surprised.

Is there something different to this? Lin Mu questioned.

Since this was Lin Mus first time seeing an immortal tribulation, he wanted to observe and a.n.a.lyze everything. He could easily tell that Elder Niji was taking the water elemental Immortal Tribulation.

But he didnt know that there was something special about this. If not for Immortal Taegus words, he would think that this was how all water Immortal tribulations were.

It is this is not just a normal water Immortal Tribulation. Its actually a Three Phase Water Tribulation! Immortal Taegu said with a hint of fear in his voice.

Immortal Tribulations are also of different types and not everyone experiences the same kind. The seven elemental immortal tribulations are merely generalization for the tribulations.

For each individual element, there can be several different kinds of tribulation. There is the most basic tribulation that a majority of individuals were experience and then more deadly variants that kill most people. Immortal Taegu explained.

Is there any difference between those that overcome the normal immortal tribulation and a variant? Lin Mu questioned with interest.

More often than not, there is no difference. Rather, one is considered to be fortunate if they have a basic type of tribulation. They are the easiest to overcome and are more predictable.

For most immortals, whether they survive a basic or variant tribulation, their strength after that is almost the same. Immortal Taegu spoke.

So, there is no advantage? Lin Mu questioned.

There is but not many can take advantage of it. Immortal Taegu replied.

Those that experience variant Immortal Tribulations also have a chance to comprehend the Dao directly. After all, when an immortal tribulation is underway, the Heavens are directly opening themselves to us.

This is the ideal time to comprehend the Dao. Thus, those who can take this opportunity to comprehend it while also holding back the Immortal Tribulation will gain a lot. He explained.

Lin Mu nodded his head upon learning this. It was similar to variant and unique Heavenly Tribulations, expect one could directly comprehend the Dao.

When a Heavenly Tribulation happened, one didnt really have a chance to do the same since they simply hadnt reached that point. Only upon entering the Dao Sh.e.l.l realm would one even think about the Dao.

~HISS~

While Lin Mu was thinking about all this, the condition of Elder Niji changed.

The sphere of water started to freeze!
