Chapter 1474: Three Calamities of Daoism!
Translator: Legge
“Throughout history, there have been millions of human cultivators and countless Conjoint Body Mighty Figures. However, only a rare few managed to advance to the Mahayana realm and comprehend divine powers to become a Patriarch. Do you know why?”
The storyteller asked.
“Divine Power Tribulation?”
Su Zimo made an attempt to reply.
He had once heard someone mention that in order to advance to the Mahayana realm from the Conjoint Body realm, one had to undergo a tribulation—the Divine Power Tribulation!
Throughout history, this Divine Power Tribulation had buried countless paragons and monster incarnates!
The owners of the 30 odd stone statues in the Dao Inheritance Ground were all the most famous paragons and monster incarnates of Tianhuang Mainland in the past.
However, these people were still unable to take the final step and were stuck before the Mahayana realm, dying with regrets.
The storyteller had a slightly emotional expression as he nodded. “Cultivation is something that defies the heavens to begin with. In this period of time, one will experience countless dangers. These dangers either originate from their own mental demons or from the killing intent of the outside world. However, there has never been any danger that can be called a tribulation.”
Previously, be it in terms of breaking through from Golden Core, Nascent Soul or Void Reversion realm, one would encounter danger but it could not be considered as a tribulation.
For something to be called a tribulation, it must mean that it was extremely difficult to survive and one would most likely die!
The storyteller said slowly, “The Divine Power Tribulation refers to the three calamities of Daoism! Wind, fire and thunder!”
“Eh?”
Su Zimo’s heart stirred—it felt familiar.
The storyteller smiled. “Seems like you’ve thought of the Dao Inheritance Ground as well.”
Su Zimo nodded.
There was a Three Tribulations Domain in the Dao Inheritance Ground and there were three tribulations—the Yin Wind Tribulation, the Karmic Flame Tribulation and the Thunder Tribulation.
The storyteller said, “Back then, there were many paragons and monster incarnates who left their legacies there. Since three tribulations were created, how could they have been set casually? There was a deeper meaning to it.”
A look of realization flashed through Su Zimo’s eyes.
“However…”
The storyteller changed the topic. “The three calamities of the Divine Power Tribulation are sent down by Heaven and Earth and are even more terrifying than the Three Tribulations Domain!”
“That wind is no ordinary wind, it’s the Heavenly Dipper Wind! Sharp as an awl and lethal as a blade, it enters through the head and spreads through the five viscera, six bowels, nine orifices, flesh and hair, destroying everything along its way! The Heavenly Dipper Wind penetrates everything and if the Essence Spirit isn’t refined enough, it will be dispersed as well!”

Su Zimo and Demoness Ji were secretly alarmed.
“The fire is no ordinary fire either, it’s the Earth Malevolent Fire! Born from beneath one’s feet, it surges right through their glabella! If one’s body isn’t strong or their bloodline isn’t robust enough, their organs would turn into ashes while their limbs would rot instantly! 10,000 years of cultivation would turn into ashes completely!”

The storyteller continued, “That thunder isn’t the ordinary thunder of the mortal realm either, it’s the Five Elements Divine Thunder! The Geng Metal, Yi Wood, Gui Water, Bing Fire and Wu Earth Divine Thunders would crash upon one. Any single mistake and their soul would be dispersed!”

“If they can’t pass through the three calamities, their bodies and Essence Spirits will be destroyed without any corpse remaining!”
“Of course, if they manage to survive the tribulation of the three calamities, they would comprehend a divine power—Blood Rebirth!”
Su Zimo finally understood.
The reason why every Mahayana Patriarch knew Blood Rebirth was because they could comprehend that divine power through the baptism of the three calamities!

Suddenly, Su Zimo recalled a doubt he had in the past and could not help but ask, “Senior, Mahayana Patriarchs of the cultivation world rarely appear. Are they all in seclusion in the various major sects?”
Up till this point of his cultivation, Su Zimo had encountered too few Mahayana Patriarchs, which was a little strange.
It was as though all the Mahayana Patriarchs were hiding in a place and would not come out unless something major happened.
When something happened to Enigma Palace this time round, Patriarch Qing Cheng seemed like he returned from another place as well.
The storyteller said, “Typically, after entering the Mahayana realm, one would no longer bother about Dharmic treasures or secret skills. All Mahayana Patriarchs only have a single goal and that is to comprehend divine powers as much as possible!”
“Once you advance to the Mahayana realm, if you want to raise your cultivation and combat strength, you have to comprehend divine powers!”
“With every divine power comprehended, one’s Essence Spirit, body and bloodline will be baptized by the power of divine powers and their combat strength will increase significantly.”
“In the cultivation world, the best place to comprehend divine powers is not in Tianhuang Mainland, but…”
At that point, the storyteller suddenly paused and looked at Su Zimo with a fake smile, clearly testing the latter.
Su Zimo furrowed his brows slightly.
From the tone of the storyteller, this was definitely a place he knew. Furthermore, there was a high chance it was a familiar place.
However, why would a place he was familiar with become a place for Patriarchs to comprehend divine powers?
Suddenly!
A thought flashed through Su Zimo’s mind as he blurted, “The ancient battlefield!”
The ancient battlefield was a dimension of its own and was a broken world.
Su Zimo had been to the elementary and intermediate ancient battlefields but he had never heard any rumors about the advanced ancient battlefield.
Now that he thought about it, the place where these Patriarchs had the highest chance of comprehending divine powers was the advanced ancient battlefield!
Su Zimo replied, “If I’m not wrong, the final ranking of the Three Enigma Rankings, the Divine Powers Ranking, should also be in this advanced ancient battlefield.”
“That’s right,”
A look of admiration flashed through the storyteller’s eyes as he nodded slightly. “There were many divine powers left behind in this final ancient battlefield.”
“Those divine powers could be in some ruins, at some mountain peak or among the trees and grass.”
“Actually, there are even more divine powers remaining in the Kunlun Ruins and they’re even more terrifying. However, because the primordial war was way too intense and the environment there was extremely sensitive, Mahayana Patriarchs would trigger a Divine Power Storm the moment they stepped in! They won’t even be able to survive the Divine Power Storm, let alone comprehend the divine powers.”
“Compared to that, the environment of the ancient battlefield is relatively mild. As long as one can discover the remnant of any divine powers, they can comprehend it.”
Su Zimo understood.
In order to increase their cultivation and combat strength, Mahayana Patriarchs of the cultivation world searched and comprehended divine powers in the ancient battlefield.
During this process, they would naturally not bother about the strifes of the cultivation world.
After all, it was not easy to find a divine power.
The process of comprehending a divine power was even harder.
That was the reason why Patriarchs rarely appeared and cultivators of the sect would not alarm them unless a major calamity befell the sect!
“Only Mahayana Patriarchs can enter that ancient battlefield?”
Suddenly, Su Zimo asked.
The storyteller shook his head. “That’s not a hard rule. However, given your current physical body and Essence Spirit, you won’t be able to withstand a divine power if you forcefully comprehend it.”
The storyteller saw through Su Zimo’s intentions and knew that the latter wanted to comprehend divine powers as soon as possible and advance to the Ancestor realm.
However, there were no shortcuts to cultivation.
The storyteller said, “If you want to comprehend divine powers, your body and Essence Spirit have to reach a certain level.. A Grade 7 Creation Green Lotus is definitely not enough.”
