Chapter 600 Fu Sui’s Intentions

Meng Chuan, Meng Hu, and Black Wind greeted each other. After all, they had become much closer after exploring the ruin world together.

“Black Wind, you are much more powerful than me.” Meng Hu sighed as he looked at Black Wind. “I walked that path for more than five years before I chose to give up. You persisted on the same path for 30 years. Impressive, impressive!”

Meng Hu knew very well that the longer one walked on the path, the greater the probability of losing themselves.

“But I still failed to persist.” Black Wind shook his head and didn’t elaborate. He looked at the approaching Meng Chuan. “Brother Eastcalm is still the best. He’s still persisting in the ruin world.”

“I didn’t take the same path as all of you. Furthermore, I’m much slower than all of you,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.

“Indeed. I’m considered slow, but you are even slower,” admitted Black Wind as he nodded. When he chose to give up, he could sense Meng Chuan’s location through karma. The distance that Meng Chuan covered was much less than him.

The three of them chatted for a while before walking to a corner of the Cang Alliance Space, where Fu Sui was sitting alone.

“Look at Fu Sui. Now that he has grasped the strength of a Sixth Tribulation Eminence, his attitude is completely different from before,” said Black Wind via voice transmission. “It’s indeed different.” Meng Hu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Meng Chuan also realized this, but he could understand why. Sixth Tribulation Eminences were much stronger than them. Since Fu Sui had one foot in the Sixth Tribulation realm, his attitude was naturally more supercilious.

“Everyone, take a seat,” said Fu Sui with a smile.

“Brother Fu Sui, you are now completely different from us,” said Black Wind respectfully. “The people you make friends with are all Sixth Tribulation Eminences.”

“Yeah.” Fu Sui nodded slightly. “I do know some Sixth Tribulation friends. I was even lucky enough to pay a visit to Yellow-Robed Academy Lord.”

“Yellow-Robed Academy Lord?” Meng Chuan, Meng Hu, and Black Wind were alarmed.

Among the top factions in the River of Spacetime, Yellow-Robed Academy was one of them. It was said that two Seventh Tribulation Eminences were in Yellow-Robed Academy presently. They were the incumbent Academy Lord and Vice Academy Lord.

Yellow-Robed Academy Lord was definitely one of the most terrifying existences in the River of Spacetime.

“Seventh Tribulation realm?”

Meng Chuan, Meng Hu, and Black Wind sighed inwardly. Very few Seventh Tribulation Eminences were born in the entire River of Spacetime. Seventh Tribulation Eminences also had their own pursuits. They had very little free time, so it was very difficult to meet them.

In the entire River of Spacetime, there were countless Fifth Tribulation Eminences. It was very difficult for them to meet Seventh Tribulation Eminences alone. However, Fu Sui had a chance to meet a Seventh Tribulation after barely gaining the combat strength of a Sixth Tribulation Eminence. After all, a peak faction in the River of Spacetime had the most combat strength at the Sixth Tribulation realm.

“I was lucky that I could pay a visit to the Yellow-Robed Academy Lord,” said Fu Sui with a faint smile. “By the way, I can sense that Black Wind has left the ruin world. Is Eastcalm the only one left in the ruin world?”

Black Wind nodded. “Yes, only Eastcalm is left.”

“I’m slow,” said Meng Chuan.

Fu Sui swept his gaze across the three people present and said with a smile, “We made our choices for the three paths on the black mountain’s main peak. Let’s have a simple exchange of information. The first path I took was indeed a path of constant epiphanies. I maintained a state of epiphany for 12 years and grasped a Sixth Tribulation law in one fell swoop. I nearly figured out a physical body cultivation formulation. The path’s only flaw was that it damaged my Essence Soul, but the damage is still bearable.” “Brother Fu Sui has indeed improved rapidly, from having mastered two Fifth Tribulation laws to mastering a complete Sixth Tribulation law. Perhaps I should’ve taken the risk and chosen the first path back then,” said Black Wind with a vexed expression. “I took the second path and possessed many Eminences. Although my strength improved greatly, I was in danger of losing myself. In the end, I was forced to give up.”

“You had a breakthrough in strength, right?” asked Fu Sui with a smile.

Black Wind nodded. “I’ve grasped three Fifth Tribulation laws.” After leaving the ruin world completely, he could stay lucid. What Old Fiend Black Wind needed now was to abandon the paths of the six Eminences he possessed. With the three laws he had comprehended as his foundation, he could forge his own path. This way, he could reach the Sixth Tribulation realm.

“Although it’s a little troublesome, I still gained a lot. I have to thank you, Brother Fu Sui,” said Black Wind with a smile. “It’s all thanks to Brother Fu Sui that I, Black Wind, can be where I am today.”

“Haha…” Fu Sui laughed. He was somewhat indignant. It seemed like the price paid by those who took the second path was much lower.

“I’m not as good as Brother Black Wind. I only lasted for a short period of time before becoming somewhat lost,” said Meng Hu as he shook his head. “I haven’t resolved the problem of losing myself.” Meng Hu only spoke half-truths as well.

In fact, after a discussion among Heavenly Dream Realm’s upper echelons, they had already decided to help Meng Hu activate Hundred Lives Dream Realm. He would use 100 lifetimes to temper his heart. If he succeeded, the loss of self due to the possessions would not be worth mentioning. However, he would stay completely lost in Hundred Lives Dream Realm if he failed.

The negative effects of getting lost in Hundred Lives Dream Realm were much greater than the possessions’ negative effects.

Meng Hu was very nervous about his future. “Lost?” asked Fu Sui. “Then, did you gain anything?”

“My cultivation has improved.” Meng Hu nodded. “I’ve now grasped three laws.” “There are gains and losses,” said Fu Sui with a smile. “I believe that Heavenly Dream Realm’s means can definitely resolve the danger of losing yourself.”

Black Wind was secretly astonished when he heard that. It sounded like Meng Hu lost himself in a way much more serious than him. “Eastcalm, what about you?” Fu Sui looked at Meng Chuan.

“All of you know that the sounds you hear will affect your mind and consciousness when you enter the third path,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “The higher you go, the greater the impact.”

“Has your strength broken through?” asked Fu Sui.

“My strength hasn’t changed much.” Meng Chuan shook his head. “I don’t have the mood to cultivate while on the third path. I can only focus on resisting the sounds’ impact on my Essence Soul. However, my willpower has improved after 30 years of tempering.”

“Only your willpower has improved?”

Fu Sui, Black Wind, and Meng Hu felt that the third path was somewhat lacking. After all, there were many ways to improve one’s willpower slowly. In comparison, one’s technique realm had a more direct influence on one’s strength.

“No other benefits?” asked Black Wind.

Meng Chuan shook his head. “None.”

“From the looks of it, you might really have to reach the end before it’s considered as passing the test. Only then will you obtain great benefits,” said Meng Hu. Fu Sui nodded and said, “It’s just as we expected. The three paths on the black mountain’s peak are filled with blessings and disasters. By the way, I invited the three of you here to seek your help.” “You want our help?” Meng Chuan, Meng Hu, and Black Wind exchanged looks.

“I have the mystic technique needed to enter the ruin world,” said Fu Sui. “I plan on inviting more Fifth Tribulation Eminences in. Of course, I won’t bring them in for free. Every one of them needs to pay Outer Realm Essence Crystals.”

Meng Chuan, Black Wind, and Meng Hu understood that Fu Sui wanted to obtain a huge amount of benefits through this. It was easy to guess that Fu Sui could earn a lot. However, only Fu Sui knew the mystic technique used to enter. It was useless for them to be envious.

“Why don’t you invite a Sixth Tribulation Eminence in?” asked Meng Hu. “The black mountain’s peak should be useful for Sixth Tribulation Eminences.”

“To be honest, my mystic technique can only bring Fifth Tribulation Eminences in. There are also other restrictions,” said Fu Sui. He had always kept the method of entering the ruin world a secret.

Fu Sui looked at the three of them. “I’ll inform the members of the Cang Alliance. I need the three of you to pass a message to all the Fifth Tribulation Eminences in the Cang Alliance. For example, Brother Black Wind, you should say that you entered the ruin world twice. From grasping one law, you improved to the point of grasping three laws. You took the second path on the black mountain’s peak and experienced the danger of losing yourself. However, it didn’t affect your strength.”

“Alright.” Black Wind smiled in agreement. Since he would be speaking the truth, Black Wind was willing to help. After all, Fu Sui could barely be considered a Sixth Tribulation Eminence.

Fu Sui looked at Meng Hu and said, “Brother Meng Hu, you should say that you improved from grasping two Fifth Tribulation laws to three Fifth Tribulation laws. You took the second path on the black mountain’s peak. You were in danger of losing yourself, but you remained lucid to this day.”

Meng Hu pondered for a moment. “I’ll remind them of the danger of losing themselves.” “Sure.” Fu Sui nodded. “I don’t need you to lie. Brother Eastcalm, you can tell the others the truth.”

To attract cultivators, one had to rely on the first two paths. It was fine if the third path was less attractive. This was especially true since the first path allowed one to maintain a state of epiphany

Fu Sui had successfully grasped a Sixth Tribulation law with this.

“Alright.” Meng Chuan nodded. Fu Sui had brought him into the ruin world. No matter what, he had to acknowledge this favor. He would help if he could. If he didn’t have to lie, he could just say what he needed to say.

“In a day, pass the message to all Fifth Tribulation Eminences in the Cang Alliance,” said Fu Sui. “Of course, send me the messages’ content in advance. I will remember your kindness.”

Moments later

Meng Hu and Black Wind left.

Meng Chuan looked at Fu Sui. “Brother Fu Sui, why did you ask me to stay behind?”

“Eastcalm, when do you plan on leaving the ruin world?” Fu Sui asked with a smile.

“I don’t know.” Meng Chuan shook his head. “I’ll just last as long as I can.”

Fu Sui frowned slightly when he heard this answer. He still said, “To be honest, there can only be ten cultivators in the ruin world at the same time. I want to send the other Fifth Tribulation Eminences in. If you continue to stay inside, you will keep occupying a spot. The third path won’t be of much help to you. If you don’t mind, leave the ruin world as soon as possible.”
