Chapter 376: Unsolvable Thunder Tribulation, Collision of Two Eras
Faced with Qian Ya’s pleading, Chen Changsheng continued to enjoy his meal, saying, “Think of a solution yourself; this is your own matter.”
“I’m neither your father nor your mother; we are merely in a cooperative relationship.”
“You complete the mission, and I will provide you with a reward; any troubles during this time have nothing to do with me.”
Hearing this answer, Qian Ya pouted.
Then, she turned her eyes and said, “Young Master, can I disclose some of your information to my family’s ancestor?”
As she spoke, Qian Ya quietly glanced at the nearby Hu Tudou.
It was obvious that Qian Ya wanted to leverage Chen Changsheng’s connection with the Culinary Immortal to lessen the pressure from the Demon Court.
After all, the Qingqiu Fox Clan was also a major clan within the Demon Court, and the Culinary Immortal was the strongest among the Demon Clan.
With her backing, things would be much simpler.
“No way!”
Chen Changsheng firmly refused Qian Ya’s suggestion.
“Potato, Eternal Immortal, along with me, the information concerning the three of us cannot be disclosed to anyone.”
“If you dare to leak even half a sentence, our agreement will be null and void, and I will settle accounts with you.”
“The choice is in your hands; you can choose to continue or withdraw.”
“No matter what you choose, I will not blame you, but if you dare to casually disclose it, then I won’t hold back.”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng threw the empty bowl in his hand to Tudou and lay down on the grass.
“Wan’er, play a tune for us.”
“Listening to music helps sleep better at night.”
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s request, Su Wan’er immediately took out an ancient zither and began tuning it.
Seeing this, Qian Ya could only retreat to the side to think of a solution.
How to stabilize her family without revealing Chen Changsheng’s information while still being able to fulfill the agreement was indeed a difficult problem.
…
“Ding~”
The elegant sound of the zither resonated through the night, and Chen Changsheng smacked his lips, saying, “Eternal Immortal, who are you interested in at the Mountain River Academy?”
Hearing this, Ye Yongxian, who was sitting in meditation, opened his eyes.
“I heard that there are several true disciples at the Mountain River Academy who are quite impressive. I want to witness it myself.”
“Tsk tsk!”
“You’re not just going to witness; you’re trying to covet someone’s body, aren’t you?”
“One could say that. Having an excellent partner would certainly enhance the bloodline of the next generation.”
“Do you have confidence in the Thunder Tribulation?”
In response to this question, Ye Yongxian fell silent for a moment and said, “I have no confidence.”
“You don’t have confidence?”
Hearing this response, Chen Changsheng, who had been listening to the zither with eyes closed, turned to look at Ye Yongxian.
“Of course not.”
“The higher the talent and the more abundant the accumulation, the stronger the power of the Thunder Tribulation will be.”
“Dealing with the Thunder Tribulation isn’t like dealing with that little peacock, relying on skill alone to win.”
“The Thunder Tribulation is measured by one’s realm, and regardless of how strong our techniques are, our current strength cannot change.”
“When the heavenly lightning strikes, it can’t simply be avoided by skill.”
Looking at Ye Yongxian’s serious demeanor, Chen Changsheng said, “Indeed, this Thunder Tribulation is truly a big hassle.”
“With our accumulations, it could take mere moments to elevate our realms.”
“Yet with the increase in realm, the power will also grow; this seems like a deadlock of misunderstanding.”
“Why did that Jade Emperor fellow create this Heavenly Path Thunder Tribulation? Isn’t that just asking for trouble?”
Listening to Chen Changsheng’s complaints, Ye Yongxian smirked and said, “You’ve been in close contact with the Jade Emperor; how should I know?”
“Moreover, besides being a threat to heavenly prodigies, the Thunder Tribulation is also a huge problem for us.”
“For those living beings with shorter lifespans, the power of the Thunder Tribulation is limited.”
“But for entities like us, the specific limits remain unexplored.”
“It is said that three thousand overlords have perished beneath the Thunder Tribulation.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng and Hu Tudou became intrigued.
“How did they d*e? Tell us the details.”
“That guy released too much aura during a battle, which caused him to be targeted by the Thunder Tribulation.”
“According to his realm at the time, the Thunder Tribulation that descended would be catastrophic.”
“In order to weaken the Thunder Tribulation’s power, he performed a life-altering transformation.”
“He discarded all his cultivation, sacrificed his original flesh, and even altered his spiritual sense with great difficulty.”
“Except for the lifespan limitation that remained unchanged, one could say he completely transformed himself.”
“And then?”
Chen Changsheng eagerly pressed for more.
Ye Yongxian merely glanced at him and replied, “Then he died.”
“The Thunder Tribulation that descended was indeed matched to his realm, but it lasted endlessly.”
“He endured it for a whole month, and in the end, he could no longer withstand it and was forced to elevate his cultivation.”
“After that, the strength of the Thunder Tribulation increased as well.”
“He was thus consumed to d*ath by the Thunder Tribulation, lasting a total of two months.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng’s expression twisted.
“This is too troublesome! According to what you’ve said, is the Thunder Tribulation truly unsolvable?”
“I don’t know; anyway, for beings like us, no one has deduced a complete path.”
“No one can be sure whether the Thunder Tribulation targeting us is continuous or if it has a time limit.”
“This is also the reason why I’ve hesitated to break through my realm.”
“Because based on my perception, the Lamp of Life Realm is my limit, and if I push further, the Thunder Tribulation will descend immediately.”
“You should have felt similar, right?”
“Yes,” Chen Changsheng nodded and said, “but my situation is worse than yours.”
“I felt the Thunder Tribulation even at the Consciousness Realm. If I dare to advance just a little more, a torrential Thunder Tribulation will come right away.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng looked at Hu Tudou.
“Tudou, what about you?”
“When the Thunder Tribulation begins, your strength won’t be weak either. Given your accumulation now, do you have confidence in crossing the Thunder Tribulation?”
In response, Hu Tudou shook his head and said, “I have no confidence. As my accumulation increases, my sense of crisis also grows stronger.”
“I have a premonition that once I cross the Thunder Tribulation, my Thunder Tribulation power will definitely surpass that of a normal cultivation realm.”
“If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have fought hard right from the start.”
“At least back then, the Thunder Tribulation wasn’t that strong.”
Listening to the two powerful figures, Chen Changsheng sighed and said, “It seems this Thunder Tribulation problem really needs to be resolved.”
“Otherwise, there would be shackles hanging over all living beings.”
“The Mountain River Academy is a gathering place for the heavenly prodigies of the Nine Domains, but over these thousands of years, no one has ever faced the Thunder Tribulation issue.”
“Perhaps there are some techniques regarding the Thunder Tribulation that the Mountain River Academy holds; we should be able to gain some insights from them.”
“By the way, since you have appeared, does that mean others will reveal themselves soon?”
Looking at Chen Changsheng, Ye Yongxian nodded and said, “Almost.”
“The Crimson Realm has already stabilized to some extent, and solutions to the Thunder Tribulation must lie among the multitude.”
“The Mountain River Academy has led the trends of the cultivation world in recent eras; the opportunity to seek breakthroughs here is the greatest.”
“Hehehe!”
“Hearing you say that, I feel this matter has become even more interesting.”
“The legacy of the last era colliding with the heavenly prodigies of this era—who truly is stronger? It really is something worth looking forward to.”
