Chapter 599 This Is a Demonic Mountain

The 30th year after Meng Chuan and company entered the ruin world.

Old Fiend Black Wind stood there and looked up at the path that extended deep into the clouds.

Who am I? Mo Yang? Qin Cai… Yes, I’m Black Wind. Black Wind gradually regained clarity in his mind. He looked around in horror. I’ve always been very careful. I’ve always followed my rule of possessing only those six Tribulation Eminences. I didn’t comprehend anything else.

But who would have thought that the Dao of these six Tribulation Eminences are distorted? They are all wrong! Black Wind’s eyes turned crazy. Everything is wrong!

Many Sixth Tribulation Eminences’ Dao were not suitable for his cultivation’s foundation.

For example, Nirvana Saber wasn’t suitable to be one’s cultivation foundation at the Fifth Tribulation Realm. Using it as a foundation would gradually lead one to nirvanic destruction and self-destruction.

One had to first grasp a suitable Dao, such as Infinite Saber’s paramount speed laws. Only by establishing such a foundation would one be able to tread evil paths at the same level. Only by having a strong foundation could one take the paths that led to backlash.

Similarly, many distorted paths at the Sixth Tribulation realm were not suitable as one’s cultivation foundation!

When creating a technique, cultivators would gradually sense that it was wrong to continue walking down a particular path. They would then find another suitable direction. However, when one was possessing another’s body, one couldn’t discover this wrongness due to their limited horizons. By the time they realized it, it was already too late.

I originally thought that the Sixth Tribulation Eminences I possessed were all on correct paths. Who would’ve thought that everything was wrong? Everything is distorted.

I’m only one step away from grasping a Sixth Tribulation law, but my consciousness is already in a mess. If I take the final step and grasp a Sixth Tribulation law, I’ll probably go crazy. Black Wind understood this point.

In the 30 years he spent traversing the second path, he had long grasped three Fifth Tribulation laws. He was only one step away from grasping a Sixth Tribulation law. However, he would struggle for a long time to regain his consciousness every time he possessed a body. His clarity of thought was already decreasing.

The six Tribulation Eminences I chose were all on wrong paths. If that’s the case, could it be that all 10,000 Sixth Tribulation Eminences on the second path are on wrong paths? Black Wind shuddered.

He originally thought that this was a huge opportunity. Who knew that all of them led him to embark on a wrong path? If a Sixth Tribulation Eminence were to come here, they would be able to accommodate these wrong paths. As for a Fifth Tribulation Eminence? Perhaps 999 out of 1,000 of them would end up taking the wrong path.

This is a demonic mountain. It’s a demonic mountain, muttered Black Wind inwardly. I have to leave this place.

Black Wind raised his head and looked around. His Essence Soul and body were silently reduced to dust as the mountain wind scattered him across the world, leaving only his weapons and treasures on the crystal path.

At the same moment, Meng Chuan, who was the slowest on the third path, looked up in the direction where Black Wind had vanished.

Over the past few years, he had traveled alone. Through karma, he could sense that Black Wind had always been on the second path, but he was gone now.

Old Fiend Black Wind has left as well? Meng Chuan didn’t know what his three companions had encountered, but they had all given up.

Old Fiend Black Wind lasted for 30 years-a very long period. I feel that it’s getting more and more difficult for me. Meng Chuan sensed the syllables blasting into his Essence Soul. The voices were vast and mighty. Just the pressure from the sounds alone was terrifying. In the past 30 years, my willpower has transformed five times. I feel like I’m reaching my limits.

His willpower had transformed five timesduring the second year, the fifth year, the tenth year, the eighteenth year, and the twenty-ninth year.

Although his willpower had just transformed last year—a significant improvement-Meng Chuan realized that all he heard was the same voice. The sounds were becoming less effective for tempering his willpower, even though the voice was becoming clearer, and exerted more pressure the higher he went. From the time gaps between his transformations, he could tell that each transformation took more time. He guessed that it might take him 20 years for the next transformation to occur.

Could he continue walking for 20 years without his mind and willpower transforming at all? Meng Chuan estimated that a few years was probably the limit he could withstand. Meng Chuan didn’t have any confidence in breaking through in a few years.

I’ll just continue. Although he could vaguely sense that he would reach the end of the third path in a few years, he still had to take one step at a time. Perhaps there might be a turning point?

Meng Chuan walked alone in the ruin world. One particular day after Old Fiend Black Wind chose to leaveFu Sui is looking for us? Meng Chuan sensed something.

Fu Sui contacted Meng Chuan, Meng Hu, and Black Wind through the Cang Alliance Space and invited them to gather.

Meng Chuan sighed. The current Fu Sui is really thriving. Fu Sui was no longer the same as before. In the past, he was an ordinary Fifth Tribulation Eminence. Although he had grasped two Fifth Tribulation laws in the past, the physical body he had in the outside world was very weak. The weapons and treasures he carried were also very weak. He appeared very poor. The only special thing was that he liked to take risks and adventure in various places.

However, Fu Sui was already considered half a Sixth Tribulation Eminence now. Although his body had yet to improve, Fu Sui had already surpassed the Fifth Tribulation realm. He had become an influential figure in the Cang Alliance.

After Fu Sui left the ruin world, his style of doing things changed drastically. He became domineering and intimidating. He even killed 15 Fifth Tribulation Eminences that he had some grudges with.

Meng Chuan sighed inwardly. Only two of the 15 people had huge grudges with Fu Sui. The other 13 were killed because of small conflicts. Under normal circumstances, one wouldn’t kill a Fifth Tribulation Eminence over a small conflict.

This was because a Fifth Tribulation Eminence was virtually immortal if they had a true body in their homeworld. Therefore, there was no need to form huge grudges.

However, Fu Sui still acted so. He was domineering and intimidating, killing as he wished! After killing 15 people in a row, the Cang Alliance was naturally alarmed.

I wonder why he’s looking for us. Although Meng Chuan was puzzled, he still sent an embodiment through the Essence Soul mark in the Cang Alliance Space. Meng Chuan felt that he still owed Fu Sui a favor.

No matter what, his mind and will had already transformed five times in the ruin world. Even if he was forced to leave, he had gained a lot. He had to thank Fu Sui for this opportunity.

In the Cang Alliance Space.

“Brother Fu Sui, congratulations.”

“Brother Fu Sui, you have grasped a Sixth Tribulation law. I’m afraid you aren’t far from reaching the Sixth Tribulation realm.” The three members of the Cang Alliance congratulated Fu Sui from afar.

Fu Sui smiled and nodded before sitting in another corner.

“In the past, Fu Sui was very friendly to everyone. Now that the three of us are congratulating him, he can’t even be bothered to say a word.”

“After all, he has one foot into the Sixth Tribulation realm. He can destroy us with a flip of his hand. Why would he bother with us?” The three members conversed via voice transmissions. They weren’t angry. This was how the cultivation world was. Strength determined one’s status.

Fu Sui sat there alone. People only know that my strength has increased greatly, and my status is different. However, they don’t know how much I’ve suffered. Fu Sui felt aggrieved.

After leaving the ruin world and discovering his Essence Soul injuries, he thought of ways to seek treatment. Grasping a Sixth Tribulation law had elevated his status greatly. He had visited eight Sixth Tribulation Eminences; he even had the honor of meeting a Seventh Tribulation Eminence.

Unfortunately, nobody could treat his injuries. Therefore, he spared no expense to search for treasures that could treat his Essence Soul.

I’ve used up all the treasures I have accumulated over the years. I’ve also used up all the treasures I obtained from killing the 15 Fifth Tribulation Eminences. I’ve also borrowed more than 50,000 cubes… I’ve finally found a treasure that’s relatively cheap. It’s a treasure that can alleviate my Essence Soul’s injuries. Fu Sui had mixed emotions. The item that could alleviate his injuries while being the cheapest was a supplementary cultivation pill that Eternal Tower sold—Heart Intoxicating Pill.

I need 120 cubes a year to consume the Heart Intoxicating Pill. I need to consume it for a long time.

One hundred and twenty cubes a year was considered cheap. However, in order to find the Heart Intoxicating Pill, he had experimented with too many treasures. He had expended all his savings, and he still owed a lot of debt.

One hundred and twenty cubes a year. In 1,000 years, that’s over 100,000 cubes… How do I save that amount? Fu Sui felt that the consumption of Heart Intoxicating Pills was a death sentence. Furthermore, Fu Sui was worried that the Heart Intoxicating Pill’s effects would decrease over time. Sigh. Fu Sui felt aggrieved. People believed that he was thriving, but only he knew how much trouble he was in.

He didn’t even dare to transcend the sixth Physical Body Tribulation because of his Essence Soul’s injuries. He could only stall for time, not daring to improve his body. Therefore, he was forever stuck at the half-step Sixth Tribulation realm.

Oh? Fu Sui looked up. One figure after another appeared. They were Meng Hu, Black Wind, and Meng Chuan. The three of them walked towards Fu Sui.

Fu Sui sat there with a smile as he welcomed his three companions. However, he didn’t stand up to welcome them! After all, his strength was already at the Sixth Tribulation realm, if barely. His status was much higher than his three companions.
