Chapter 441: Living in This Era is Unparalleled Luck
Void.
An island made of giant stones quietly floated.
On this massive island, only Sun Yuqing’s figure was present.
At the same time, countless eyes in the void were watching her.
Facing these gazes, Sun Yuqing stood there calmly.
“Today, I, Sun Yuqing, invite all fellow Daoists to observe the Thunder Tribulation, simply to seek a thread of survival for the people of the world.”
“I do not dare to hope that everyone can avoid bloodshed in the future; I only ask that you do not slaughter innocents for personal desires.”
As her voice fell, countless figures emerged from the void, bowing to Sun Yuqing.
Crossing the Thunder Tribulation is an extremely private event.
Because during the Thunder Tribulation, one can be said to use all means at their disposal.
As a cultivator, casually revealing hidden cards is a very dangerous matter.
Moreover, crossing the Thunder Tribulation at this moment is almost equivalent to seeking d*ath.
The Mountain River Academy allows people to publicly observe the process of crossing the Thunder Tribulation; this attitude is rare throughout history.
With this alone, cultivators across the world are convinced.
“Boom!”
An explosion occurred in a part of the void, and two black-robed individuals emerged, carrying four corpses.
“Today I am in a bad mood and do not wish to discuss the reasoning.”
“Some should recognize me, while others may not.”
“For those who do not recognize me, think carefully.”
“For the disrespectful, k*ll!”
“For those with ulterior motives, k*ll!”
“For those who do not show their faces, it is for your own good, do not force my hand!”
The mechanical voice echoed through the void.
Upon hearing this voice, some people’s pupils began to dilate.
Although they did not gain any information from the voice, they were quite familiar with the tone.
Many are concerned about the Mountain River Academy, and there are many disciples from the Mountain River Academy present.
Yet among them, only one has this manner of speaking.
This person is the “Undertaker,” who has been missing for nearly ten thousand years.
After warning everyone, the “Black-robed Person” turned to Sun Yuqing and said, “Girl, begin.”
“Today, no one will disturb you, I assure you.”
Hearing the “Black-robed Person’s” words, Sun Yuqing smiled slightly and began to adjust her aura.
…
Somewhere in the void.
Hu Tudou quietly observed with Xu Hu and the others.
At this moment, the atmosphere among them was nearly tense to the extreme.
The earlier scene of seven true disciples crossing the Thunder Tribulation left a huge impact on them.
“Senior, do… do Xu Hu and the others also have to cross the Thunder Tribulation like this?” Qian Ya asked, trembling.
In response, Hu Tudou said blandly, “Not like them; Xu Hu and the others will face an even more terrifying Thunder Tribulation.”
“The Mountain River Academy crossing the Thunder Tribulation is to extend the great Dao for the people of the world.”
“Whether or not one has enmity with the Mountain River Academy, normal people would not disrupt this moment, except for a few idiots.”
“Because everyone wants to know the method for crossing the Thunder Tribulation.”
“Once the method is discovered, all events will return to the right path.”
“Whoever it may be, everyone has enemies in this world.”
“Therefore, guess if there will be anyone interrupting you when you cross the Thunder Tribulation.”
After hearing this, Xu Hu looked towards the distant island and said, “Aunt, can we really cross the Thunder Tribulation successfully?”
“I don’t know,” Hu Tudou replied softly.
“About Thunder Tribulation, not only do you lack confidence, but I also do.”
“If the Undertaker says you can, then you definitely can.”
“At the same time, I will spare no effort to help you, to assist you in crossing the Thunder Tribulation.”
“Because your success will prove that the Undertaker’s efforts were worthwhile.”
“We are not others’ proofs,” Sui Feng, who had been silent, spoke up: “We are ourselves.”
In response to Sui Feng’s words, Hu Tudou smiled.
“I finally understand now why the Undertaker always enjoys being with you youngsters.”
“Because that youthful vigor about you is so intoxicating.”
“Do you all know? Living in this era is a tremendous fortune.”
“With the roots severed and the path blocked, someone is finding ways for you.”
“With the Thunder Tribulation closing in, someone is using their life to carve a path for you.”
“If you wish to pursue the great Dao, the academy offers three thousand techniques for you to choose from, and the cost is merely passing through a few childlike tests.”
Looking at Hu Tudou’s indifferent expression, Sui Feng spoke again.
“You always emphasize the past eras. Can you tell us what those times were like?”
“Of course.”
“The Undertaker is kind-hearted and fears overwhelming you, so he never places too much pressure on you.”
“The Eternal Immortal is proud, so he is too indifferent to share these things with you.”
“Then let me tell you what the past eras were like.”
As he spoke, Hu Tudou pointed at Sui Feng and said, “First, taking you, this little peacock, as an example, your status as a royal member of the Peacock Clan sets you apart from others.”
“In the past era, you were merely a pawn.”
“The world’s power structure was fixed, and the number of strong cultivators was limited. Once you grew to a certain extent, your ancestors would restrict your growth.”
“Why?”
“A clan having more strong cultivators, isn’t that a good thing?”
“Of course it’s a good thing, but your strength cannot exceed a certain limit.”
“Once you surpass a certain limit, many neighbors of your family would be displeased.”
“Your ancestral elder might be strong and able to fight three, but what if ten people attack together?”
“In that situation, do you think your ancestral elder would fight to the d*ath for you or restrict your development?”
After hearing this, Sui Feng and the others fell silent.
After a long while, Hu Yan spoke up: “Aunt, so according to you, in your era, the path forward was already sealed?”
“Pretty much, but it wasn’t completely sealed.”
“If one wanted to move forward, there were three paths at that time.”
“The first depended on luck; if you happened to be around when your ancestral elder was about to d*e and had the talent to reach a certain height.”
“Then you would have the qualifications to climb upwards, provided you could defeat an outsider and your competitors within your clan.”
“The second was for special circumstances; you had to persuade those in power to allow you to grow.”
“As for how to get their consent, I am unsure.”
“The third is the simplest: you just need to defeat a number of enemies.”
“To put it bluntly, you have to be opposed by everyone, and every spirit within your scope of understanding is your enemy.”
“Perhaps that still isn’t very intuitive for you; let me put it another way.”
“When you can become the emperor who dominates an era, no one will be able to limit you.”
“As for how to survive this process, I do not know.”
