Because the demonic energy and vital energy in her body were constantly dissipating, Xu Chunniang's cultivation level fell below the Tribulation Period after a month and returned to the Fusion Period.
As time went by, the demonic energy and vital energy in her body dissipated faster and faster.
Xu Chunniang's cultivation level kept falling, from the fusion stage to the early stage of the spirit transformation, before it finally stabilized and stopped falling.
However, on the second day after his cultivation had stabilized, the demon body suddenly discovered that his powerful demon body was showing signs of decay.
The originally tight and strong skin inexplicably became loose, and fine lines appeared on it. Even the strength was weakened a lot.
It seems that the second disaster she has to face is bad luck.
Birth, aging, sickness and death are the destiny of all living things.
The purpose of spiritual practice is to escape from the five elements and three realms and to increase longevity.
According to common sense, Xu Chunniang still had plenty of life left and it was impossible for her to experience the catastrophe of aging so soon.
But during the tribulation period, everything is possible.
And this time, besides the demon body, the original body also did not escape the catastrophe.
After the calamity of decline came, both the true body and the demon body began to age rapidly.
Even the powerful body becomes weaker as it ages.
Today, Xu Chunniang's cultivation is barely maintained at the initial stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. The strong physique she has gained after all the good fortunes is also getting worse day by day.
However, in just thirty days, her appearance changed drastically, from a young and vigorous monk to a white-haired old woman.
If the Scorpion Woman saw her in this state, she would probably not believe anything she said, that the old woman in front of her was the same person as the Lord Xu in her mind.
After becoming an old woman, Xu Chunniang's body no longer aged.
However, at this moment, her body was like a candle that was about to go out. Everything she did was ineffective and she was very easy to get hurt.
Even though Xu Chunniang had a strong mind, she felt an unprecedented sense of fatigue in her heart.
Her soul was trapped in this old and frail body, and seemed to have aged along with it.
Thinking back on the journey from the mortal world to the immortal world, then ascending to the spiritual world, and then falling into the demon world, it is really tiring.
After so many years of hard training, he had gone through countless life-and-death experiences and survived near-death experiences.
Fighting with humans, fighting with monsters, fighting with monks of other races, fighting with the heaven and earth, day and night, it is endless.
In the end, after nearly a thousand years of hard training, he still couldn't escape this fateful cycle...
Thinking of this, Xu Chunniang suddenly came to her senses and realized that the third calamity had come without her knowledge.
This calamity is most likely a calamity of the mind, which can shake her will without her realizing it.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and was fully alert and ready for battle.
There are forty-nine tribulations in the tribulation period, which are divided into seven rounds, and each round will experience seven different tribulations.
As long as she can deal with the five disasters in the first round, her body and cultivation will return to normal.
A thoughtful look flashed across Xu Chunniang's eyes. She initially thought that the demon body and the original body were one and the same but their souls were not integrated, which could disperse the disaster.
But in fact, after the first calamity, the decline calamity and the mental calamity occurred and both the original body and the demon body were affected seriously.
It seems that the reason why the first calamity spared the original body is because the current original body is just an empty shell without any cultivation, so it was unable to withstand the calamity.
The attempt to exploit a loophole in the heaven's laws failed.
After figuring this out, Xu Chunniang was not disappointed. Instead, she felt that it was as she expected.
The laws of nature are so perfect that it is almost impossible for such a huge mistake to occur.
Looking back at the three tribulations she had 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 severely regressed, and she was only at the initial stage of transformation of spirit, but she could barely gain a foothold in the spiritual world.
The declining tribulation, on the basis of the first tribulation, further weakened her strength and made her body weak and powerless.
The timing of the calamity of intention that comes after this will be even better.
Over the years, Xu Chunniang has long been accustomed to the strong body and profound cultivation.
When she watched herself lose it all bit by bit and become weak again, it was inevitable that she would feel more or less disappointed.
At this time, the calamity of intention took advantage of the opportunity and indeed shook her will.
However, Xu Chunniang had possessed an extraordinary willpower since childhood, and she soon realized that something was wrong, thus avoiding the temptation of mental calamity.
The calamity of intention was omnipresent and was trying to defeat her almost all the time.
But after being prepared, Xu Chunniang never wavered again.
She always believed that the current predicament was temporary, and her declining cultivation and aging body were the symbols of her success in overcoming the difficulties.
Yijie tried for a long time, but ended up failing in the end.
Xu Chunniang did not become complacent because she had successfully survived three tribulations. She had not even survived half of the first round, so she must not take it lightly.
She was old and haggard, and her cultivation had fallen to the lowest level in the demon world, the early stage of transformation.
But there was not a trace of resentment in her eyes, instead she accepted everything calmly.
Under such circumstances, the fourth disaster came silently.
One day, Xu Chunniang's eyes suddenly went dark, and from then on, there was only darkness in her world.
She is blind.
No, it was not just blindness, she listened quietly for a while and found that she could not hear any sound.
Even his spiritual consciousness seemed to be frozen and could not be used.
Xu Chunniang secretly felt fortunate that when she had initially cultivated herself, for the sake of safety, she had spent a lot of effort to set up the formation in the courtyard and invested a lot of gray balls of laws.
Even if the Yellow Sand Demon King comes in person, he will die.
Moreover, before she officially went into seclusion to overcome the tribulation, she killed a number of cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage and threw them to the Scorpion Woman.
The corpses of those monks were enough for her to cultivate to the late stage of refining emptiness.
These thoughts flashed through Xu Chunniang's mind, and then she fell silent.
It doesn't matter if her spiritual awareness is limited, her eyes can't see, and her ears can't hear. Anyway, she knows in her heart that the place of retreat is very safe.
These disasters can weaken her endlessly, but they cannot kill her directly!
Everything that doesn't kill her will only make her stronger!
Xu Chunniang was like an old monk in meditation, allowing her consciousness to drift and sink in the loneliness. At this moment, time seemed to have stopped.
The unspeakable loneliness gnawed at her madly, 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 found that her spiritual consciousness could move. She tried to explore her spiritual consciousness and found herself in a sea of blood and corpses.
She was slightly startled, then she realized that she had been in disaster for too long, so long that Huangsha City was once again facing a battle.
This time, Huangsha City was defeated.
