The place where Xu Chunniang lived was affected by the aftermath of the fight between the two demons in the fusion stage and turned into ruins.
When she emerged from a long period of loneliness, she had to face the crisis of mortality with her aging body.
Xu Chunniang smiled softly, withdrew her consciousness, and returned to solitude.
Her reaction was extremely quick. In just three breaths, she realized that the fifth calamity had arrived.
Everything that her spiritual consciousness "saw" was just an illusion that the catastrophe wanted her to see.
The formation she had set up with her own hands when she was in the Tribulation Period could not be broken unless a powerful figure at the level of the Demon Emperor came in person.
How could it be reduced to ruins because of the aftermath of a fight between two monks in the fusion stage
Soon after she withdrew her spiritual consciousness, Xu Chunniang's eyes regained their sight.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the roof beams.
She was still in the same house where she had been in seclusion before, currently lying on the bed, maintaining the same posture she had been in before she became blind.
Even the furnishings in the house were the same as before.
Xu Chunniang snorted and closed her eyes again.
If spiritual consciousness can be faked, then the scenes that the eyes can see can naturally be faked as well.
In every round of disaster, all damages suffered by the body are irreversible.
Only after overcoming this round of disaster can we recover smoothly.
Her eyes had been blinded in the fourth calamity, so it was impossible for them to recover suddenly.
No matter how real everything she saw seemed, it was just what the illusion wanted to present to her.
Soon after she "recovered her sight", Xu Chunniang began to hear sounds and smell odors again, but she always ignored them and acted as if nothing had happened.
The fifth round of disaster lasted for three months before it disappeared unwillingly.
Xu Chunniang lay on the bed, motionless. Her body was old and weak, but she had a tenacity as strong as a mountain.
She has a strong enough faith in Taoism to be able to face new disasters at any time.
However, she waited for a long time, but the sixth round of disaster did not come.
The first five rounds of disasters came one after another, leaving Xu Chunniang with almost no chance to breathe. They used various methods to weaken her strength and shake her determination.
Judging from this, the sixth round of disaster should not be late.
But Xu Chunniang waited in the room day after day, year after year, but the sixth round of disaster still did not come.
This feeling of suspense is the most exhausting.
The most terrifying thing is not when the knife falls.
The scary thing is that you never know when the knife will suddenly fall.
Maybe it will be the next moment, or maybe hundreds or thousands of years later.
It has to be said that at the beginning, Xu Chunniang's mind was indeed affected by this unbearable wait.
As she waited day after day, a sense of boredom and restlessness arose in her heart.
She wished that the sixth calamity would come immediately instead of making her wait endlessly.
But after realizing that her state of mind had been affected, Xu Chunniang quickly reacted and realized that the sixth calamity might have come many years ago.
Isn't this suspenseful feeling of suffocation and oppression, and the vague boredom and restlessness in her heart, what the sixth calamity brings
After realizing what was happening, Xu Chunniang quickly calmed herself down and returned to her initial calm, clear and bright state.
The heart of Tao is everything. No matter how turbulent the outside world is, she remains unmoved.
After this, no matter how long she had to wait, it would no longer affect her mood.
At this point, the sixth calamity, which seemed to be without danger but was actually growing secretly, was successfully overcome.
The first round of disasters is over, and only the last one remains.
After realizing this, Xu Chunniang was not too excited.
As early as the fourth calamity, in order to resist the long loneliness, she began to restrain her emotions.
Her joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, fear and disgust were all suppressed by her, almost to the point of non-existence.
She would not be sad or angry because of the decline of her cultivation and the aging of her body, nor would she be happy because she was about to successfully pass the first round of tribulations.
Xu Chunniang is like a real ancient well, calm and peaceful.
Even if the demon world crumbled into pieces in front of her and billions of lives were facing annihilation, she would just quietly watch them die in despair...
No, that's not right.
Xu Chunniang suddenly felt that if the demon world really fell apart in front of her, she would not be able to be so calm.
If she were a demon, she would probably be very excited and try to plunder all the resources she could to strengthen herself.
If she were the original, she might feel emotional, mixed with a bit of compassion.
These hundreds of millions of creatures are too weak to control their own life and death, and can only be annihilated along with the torrent of heaven and earth.
No matter whether it was her demonic body or her true body, no matter whether she was excited, emotional, or compassionate, in short, in the face of such a major event of the realm's collapse, she could not be completely indifferent!
So, her mood at the moment was not right.
When she realized this, Xu Chunniang understood that the seventh calamity had taken away her emotions.
During the long period of loneliness, she restrained her emotions, but restraint did not mean expression or erasure.
It was impossible for her to lose all her joys, sorrows, anger, happiness, fears and disgust.
The only thing that can do this is disaster.
Xu Chunniang couldn't help but pursed her lips, and a smile appeared on her old face.
This was only the first round of disasters, and she had been hit several times. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and realized that something was wrong in time.
After she lost her profound cultivation, strong body, five senses and spiritual awareness, she actually lost her emotions.
The tribulation during this period of tribulation is indeed pervasive and extremely difficult to deal with.
I don’t know how the others survived these seven rounds of disasters
What Xu Chunniang didn't know was that the stronger the power, the more difficult it would be to deal with the disaster.
On the contrary, monks with weaker strength are more likely to survive these forty-nine tribulations.
She practiced both spirit and devil, and both her original body and devil had reached the great perfection of the fusion stage before entering the tribulation stage.
Her understanding of the laws far exceeds that of ordinary people.
It was precisely because of these reasons that Xu Chunniang experienced tribulations that ordinary people could not withstand.
The difficulty of overcoming the tribulation is naturally extraordinary.
After realizing that her emotions had been deprived, Xu Chunniang began to try hard to recall the personalities of her original body and her demonic body.
The main body is calm and steady, while the demon body is willful and jumpy.
The true body promotes good, while the demon body punishes evil.
One of them practices Taoism, while the other practices magic. They are almost two extremes, and their personalities are also polarized.
However, upon closer inspection, the original body and the demon body have many similarities.
For example, they also pursue powerful strength, and in order to become stronger, they can endure pain and loneliness that ordinary people cannot endure.
They all have strong confidence in themselves and believe that they can definitely achieve enlightenment and become immortals.
The entity lives within the laws, understands the laws, and makes good use of the laws.
The demon body seems to be born with the habit of ignoring the rules and always wants to break them.
But whether it is the original body or the demon body, whether it is good or evil, it is all her.
When Xu Chunniang thought of this, her heart was stirred. She opened her eyes suddenly and found that her lost emotions had returned.
