Due to the constant flow of demonic energy and vitality in her body, Xu Chunniang's cultivation fell below the Tribulation Stage after a month and returned to the Fusion Stage.
As time went by, the demonic energy and vitality in her body disappeared faster and faster.
Xu Chunniang's cultivation level fell again and again, from the integration stage to the early stage of divine transformation, before finally stabilizing and no longer falling.
However, on the second day after his cultivation became stable, the demon body suddenly discovered that his powerful demon body was showing signs of decline.
The skin that was originally firm and strong became inexplicably loose, with small lines appearing, and even the strength was weakened a lot.
It seems that the second calamity she has to face is the calamity of decline.
Birth, aging, illness and death are the fate of life.
The purpose of practice is to escape from the Five Elements and Three Realms and increase longevity.
Originally, according to common sense, Xu Chunniang still had plenty of lifespan, and it was impossible for her to experience the catastrophe of aging so quickly.
But during the Tribulation Period, anything is possible.
And this time, apart from the demon body, the main body was not spared from the decline.
After the calamity of decline came, the main body and the demonic body rapidly aged.
Even the powerful body becomes weaker and weaker as the degree of aging increases.
Today, Xu Chunniang's cultivation can only be maintained at the early stage of becoming a god, and her strong body after receiving various blessings is not getting better day by day.
In just thirty days, her appearance had undergone earth-shaking changes, from a young monk in her prime to a gray-haired old woman.
If her current image were seen by the Scorpion Lady, I'm afraid she wouldn't believe anything she said. The old woman in front of her was the same person as Master Xu in her mind.
After becoming an old woman, Xu Chunniang's body no longer ages.
However, at this moment, her body was like a dying candle, doing everything with half the effort and being easily injured.
Although Xu Chunniang's mind was firm, she felt an unprecedented sense of exhaustion in her heart.
Her soul was trapped in this old and frail body, as if it was aging along with her body.
It’s really tiring to recall what happened all the way from the mortal world to the fairy world, then to the spiritual world, and then to the demon world.
After practicing hard for so many years, I have been through life and death countless times and survived.
Fighting with people, fighting with monsters, fighting with monks of other races, fighting with heaven and earth, the days and nights are endless.
In the end, after nearly a thousand years of hard training, I still cannot escape this fateful reincarnation...
Thinking of this, Xu Chunniang suddenly came back to her senses and realized that the third calamity had already arrived without her knowledge.
This catastrophe is 80% likely to be an intentional catastrophe, which can shake her will unconsciously.
She took a deep breath, calmed down her mood, and prepared herself with all her strength.
The forty-nine tribulations in the tribulation period are divided into seven rounds, and each round will experience seven different tribulations.
As long as she copes with all the five catastrophes in the first round and the following ones, her body and cultivation will return to normal.
A thoughtful look flashed in Xu Chunniang's eyes. She initially thought that the demon body and the main body were one and inseparable, which could disperse the disaster.
But in fact, in the decline tribulation and the mind tribulation after the first tribulation, both the body and the demonic body suffered, and were seriously affected.
It seems that the reason why the main body was spared in the first calamity is because the current main body is an empty shell with no cultivation, so it cannot cope with the calamity.
Taking advantage of the loopholes in the way of heaven, he failed.
After figuring this out, Xu Chunniang was not disappointed, but felt that it was indeed the case.
The laws of heaven are very perfect, and it is almost impossible for such big mistakes to occur.
Looking back at the three catastrophes she experienced after entering the tribulation period, she roughly understood that the difficulty of each round of seven tribulations gradually increased.
After the first calamity, her cultivation seriously declined, and she was only in the early stage of becoming a god, but she was still barely able to gain a foothold in the spiritual world.
The decline tribulation further weakened her strength on the basis of the first tribulation, making her body weak and weak.
The timing of the coming calamity after this will be even better.
Over the years, Xu Chunniang has long been accustomed to her strong body and profound cultivation.
When she watched herself losing everything little by little and becoming weak again, it was more or less inevitable that some gaps would arise.
But at this time, the calamity of mind took advantage of the situation and really shook her will.
However, Xu Chunniang has possessed extraordinary will since she was a child, and she quickly sensed something was wrong, thus avoiding the temptation of the will.
The tribulation is pervasive and is trying to defeat her almost all the time.
But after taking precautions, Xu Chunniang did not waver even a little bit.
She always firmly believed that the predicament in front of her was temporary, and her declining cultivation and aging body were the symbols of her success through hardships.
Yijie tried for a long time, but ultimately failed.
Xu Chunniang did not feel complacent because of this, and she successfully survived three disasters. She had not even survived half of the first round, so she must not take it lightly.
Her body is old, her appearance is haggard, and her cultivation has dropped to the lowest level in the demon world, the early stage of divine transformation.
But from her eyes, there was no trace of resentment, but she accepted everything calmly.
Under such circumstances, the fourth disaster came silently.
One day, Xu Chunniang's eyes suddenly went dark. From then on, there was only darkness in her world.
She is blind.
No, it wasn't just blindness. She listened quietly for a while and found that she couldn't hear any sound.
Even the consciousness seems to be frozen and cannot be used.
Xu Chunniang secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, when she was still at the beginning of her cultivation, for the sake of safety, she had spent a lot of time setting up the array in the house and also invested a lot of law gray balls.
Even if the Yellow Sand Demon King comes in person, it will be a dead end.
And before she officially went into seclusion to survive the tribulation, she casually killed many monks in the Void Refining Stage and threw them to the Scorpion Woman.
The corpses of those monks were enough for her to reach the late stage of cultivation.
Xu Chunniang fell silent after these thoughts flashed through her mind.
It didn't matter that her consciousness was limited, her eyes couldn't see, and her ears couldn't hear. Anyway, she knew in her heart that the place of retreat was very safe.
These disasters can weaken her endlessly, but they cannot directly kill her!
Whatever doesn't kill her will only make her stronger!
Xu Chunniang was like an old monk in meditation, letting her consciousness drift and sink in loneliness. At this moment, time seemed to have stopped.
The unspeakable loneliness gnawed at her crazily, but she had long been accustomed to walking alone, and this loneliness could not hurt her at all.
This long loneliness lasted for a long time.
Until one day, Xu Chunniang suddenly discovered that her consciousness could move. She tried to detect her consciousness and found that she was in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
She was startled for a moment, then realized that she had been through the disaster for so long that Huangsha City was facing another battle.
