Chapter 444: Three Difficult Paths, Speechless Ye Yongxian

Pursing his lips and savoring the delicious noodles, Chen Changsheng spoke.

“From now on, I will personally teach all of you.”

“Before your graduation, you will face the thunder tribulation again. Whether you can survive depends on your destiny.”

Upon hearing this, Tu Jiaojiao frowned.

After the thunder tribulation ended, her senior brother found her and told her that her future cultivation would be guided by Chen Changsheng.

Tu Jiaojiao did not fully understand this arrangement.

Thinking about this, she asked, “Who exactly are you? How is my master doing?”

Facing Tu Jiaojiao’s question, Chen Changsheng glanced at her and said, “It doesn’t matter who I am; what matters is whether I can teach you.”

“Your master is still alive, but to completely recover, she needs some time.”

“You have seen the situation with the thunder tribulation. Given your current state, there is no hope of success.”

“Do you want to follow me to learn? Think it over carefully.”

“Now, both of you can go back. In three days, I will take you out. Whether you wish to come is up to you.”

Having said that, Chen Changsheng waved his hand at Tu Jiaojiao and Jiang Ling.

Seeing this, they hesitated for a moment before turning to leave.

There were many questions troubling them, and they needed time to think.

After they left, Qian Ya turned her eyes and smiled.

“Sir, has Senior Sun from the academy already succeeded in crossing the tribulation?”

“No.”

“So how did she survive?”

“Somebody used the Mountain River Academy’s fortune to save her life, which is also an exclusive divine sealing method once possessed by the Heavenly Court and now by the Demon Court.”

“The Little Yao Wang used this method to pass through the thunder tribulation.”

“Although this method can save lives, it will make those undergoing the tribulation lose control over their fate.”

“Because after accepting divine sealing, one’s life becomes closely tied to fortune. If the academy is destroyed, Sun Yuqing will surely d*e.”

“In addition, the head of the academy can partially control her fate.”

Hearing this, Qian Ya said, “So, divine sealing through fortune is the solution to the thunder tribulation?”

“Not exactly.”

“Divine sealing through fortune is merely asking for a favor from the Heavenly Path.”

“To save someone in the thunder tribulation, one needs the fortune bestowed by the Heavenly Mandate.”

“When the academy’s Supreme Saint achieved the Great Way, he relied on the Heavenly Mandate of the Emperor Huangtian, thus giving the academy the qualification to perform divine sealing.”

“Other than that, only the Demon Court in the Nine Domains has the qualifications for divine sealing by the Heavenly Path, and its fortune is very complete and vast.”

“After all, the Demon Court was once the Heavenly Court, and both the Heavenly Court and Demon Court have produced Heavenly Mandates.”

Receiving this answer, Qian Ya cautiously looked around and then whispered.

“Sir, since divine sealing through fortune can save people,”

“Why didn’t the person who performed divine sealing for Senior Sun save the other seven true disciples?”

Looking at Qian Ya’s pointed gaze, Chen Changsheng calmly replied, “Not that we couldn’t save them, but we couldn’t.”

“Divine sealing through fortune can indeed avoid the thunder tribulation, but only for the second stage.”

“For the first stage of the thunder tribulation, one must rely on oneself.”

As he spoke, Chen Changsheng looked towards Huafeng and Xu Hu.

“Besides this information, I also need to tell you some bad news.”

“That is, the thunder tribulation is not a one-time event. Starting from the Consciousness Realm, you have a chance to encounter it.”

“Reminder: If you find this book enjoyable, please remember to add it to your favorites to avoid losing it next time.”

“Warning: The stronger your foundation, the higher the probability of encountering it.”

“When you break through to the Immortal Sovereign Realm, you will definitely encounter the thunder tribulation.”

“In the future realms, every step up will bring another thunder tribulation.”

“Survive or perish.”

Huafeng spoke up after hearing this, “Teacher, do we also have to face the terrifying thunder sea below the Immortal Sovereign Realm?”

“Not necessarily. Based on my estimate, the thunder sea is exclusive to the Immortal King Realm.”

“Below the Immortal King Realm, you don’t have to face the thunder sea.”

“But if you want to reach the Immortal King Realm, you must confront the thunder sea in the earlier tribulations.”

“Why?”

Xu Hu subconsciously asked.

“Because this is a test.”

“The essence of the thunder tribulation is extreme elevation. The first stage proves your solid foundation and entry into the ranks of prodigies.”

“The second stage proves you are a prodigy among prodigies.”

“The strength of the thunder tribulation is determined by your power. You cannot face the thunder sea in the earlier tribulations, and later ones won’t work either.”

Facing Chen Changsheng’s answer, Ye Yongxian said, “Then where is the exit from the thunder sea?”

“Not clear.”

“We all know the first path is fortune sealing.”

“But I believe none of you would choose this path because the realm gained through fortune sealing is incomplete.”

“If you are willing to compromise, you wouldn’t choose to cross the thunder tribulation; self-destruction is easier.”

“The second path is extreme elevation, completing one’s evolution.”

“But how to complete one’s evolution, I don’t know.”

“Even Jiang Ling failed to walk this path before dying, proving it’s very difficult.”

“Besides, I guess there might be a third path in the thunder sea: defeating the human-shaped thunder tribulation.”

“Defeating the human-shaped thunder tribulation?” Ye Yongxian’s lips twitched as he asked, “Do you know what you’re saying?”

“The human-shaped thunder tribulation are great ways left by past Heavenly Mandate Holders. Others may not understand their dangers, but you should.”

Facing Ye Yongxian’s shock, Chen Changsheng remained calm.

“I know, but this path is reserved for certain special existences.”

“Extreme elevation and completing one’s evolution sound simple, but achieving it is nearly impossible.”

“The lower the realm, the smaller the difficulty. For beings that have lived for a long time, the probability is almost zero.”

“So, the creators of the thunder tribulation prepared a third path: piercing through the thunder sea.”

“But don’t worry too much. The thunder tribulation probably won’t make you face all the Heavenly Mandate Holders; there should be a limit.”

“If not, it wouldn’t be a test, but m*rder.”

Hearing this, Ye Yongxian’s lips twitched again as he said, “How many human-shaped thunder tribulations will you face?”

“Not clear, because even Sun Yuqing didn’t fully overcome the first human-shaped thunder tribulation.”

“Huff~”

Ye Yongxian slowly exhaled, whispering, “None of these three paths seem easy.”

“They aren’t. The creators of the thunder tribulation aim to divide the world into different levels with the thunder tribulation.”

“People who can’t trigger the thunder tribulation are mediocre talents.”

“People who can trigger the thunder tribulation are quasi-geniuses, and those who can cross the thunder sea are true prodigies.”

“Geniuses among geniuses!”
