Chapter 882 - 392: Analyzing the Rule?_2

Other people were staring wide-eyed at each other, eyes filled with suspicion, even the usually calm Xie Xuanzhao was no exception.

Could Chu Xiu have truly sensed the rule?

No, no, no, that’s impossible, it’s pure fantasy.

You have to know that whether they manipulate or use the rule, it’s merely a manifestation of the origin rule in the real world; only within the [Seed of Rules] is the essence of the rule contained.

To sense the essence of the rule merely through the outer world’s rule—it’s not just an issue of being a genius, it’s completely illogical! In their worldview, even a God couldn’t accomplish such a thing!

"Brother Chen must have sensed part of the power within the tribulation, or was influenced by the Rule Power," Xie Xuanzhao concluded.

Zhu Jiu nodded as well: "That should be it, the Rule of Imitation itself has the power to unsettle people’s minds."

"Hmph, putting on an act, wasting a moment of time," Mao Qi said somewhat unnaturally.

Even the Civilization Envoy of a Tenth-level Civilization wouldn’t believe such a thing could happen.

To this, Chu Xiu merely smiled faintly and said nothing, for after all, he had never come into contact with the rule and did not know what the previous phenomenon represented.

"So what should we do now, continue to fool around with him here?" Mao Qi said.

Chu Xiu said, "I have an idea."

"What?" Mao Qi asked.

"Undergo the tribulation!"

"Huh?" Mao Qi was stunned, not only him, but the others also looked at Chu Xiu in shock.

Chu Xiu said, "I’m pondering if Miss Xuanzhao’s divination could be hinting at the idea that I should actively undergo the tribulation. After all, my identity is that of a tribulator, and the rule attacking us, as Miss Xuanzhao said, is transformed from an ancient tribulation. Weren’t ancient seekers supposed to face tribulations head-on to achieve the Dao and become Immortals?"

Chu Xiu’s words left the others looking at each other, and Mao Qi suddenly burst out cursing angrily, "I think you’ve gone mad! Undergo the tribulation? Do you think that rule targets only you? What if the next one is an even more terrifying rule than the Law of Cancer Transformation, you’ll end up getting all of us killed!"

Even Xie Xuanzhao revealed a look of hesitation on her face.

Chu Xiu also knew how crazy his plan sounded, it was completely illogical, yet while analyzing the Faceless Man, he realized something.

With his current knowledge and divine sense strength, he apparently couldn’t analyze the essence of those rules, but his body, the one that had undergone tribulations, seemed to be able to adapt from the cellular level, helping him automatically!

The crimson mist that was retained in his body after surviving the cancer transformation rule and successfully transformed is the best example!

Moreover, he wanted to try parsing it once more, whether it was the crimson mist within his body or the Faceless Man, they were no longer the original form of the tribulation, he wanted to try parsing the essence of the tribulation while undergoing it!

This thought even made Chu Xiu feel he was insane, from any angle, such a choice shouldn’t be made, but his intuition told him that perhaps this was the correct way to break the deadlock!

His eyes slowly grew resolute, and Chu Xiu said, "Currently, only the Bone Changing Tribulation and the Desire Tribulation among the Tribulation Thunder Incarnations can attack us; other tribulations will be countered by us, and no matter which tribulation it is, I will immediately find its ’logic of targeting’ and bear it alone, so everyone need not worry."

"Do you think just because you say you’ll bear it, you truly can?" Mao Qi’s form changed extremely swiftly, obviously agitated, "What if it’s like the Heart Inquiry Tribulation, fixed to target each of us individually, how will you bear it then?"

He had a point, they currently knew too little about tribulations, how could they boldly assert anything?

However, Chu Xiu was determined, unwavering: "If Brother Mao is unwilling, you can leave."

Mao Qi sneered coldly, "Leave? I reckon it’s better to have the battle we should’ve had long ago!"

With that, he gave the others a cold glance: "Now that we have three more divine artifacts, are you still afraid to make a move? Or do you plan to let him go crazy?"

Upon hearing this, the others showed hesitant expressions.

Chu Xiu’s expression remained unchanged, he just stood there quietly.

For a moment, the scene fell into a bizarre silence.

This silence lasted for a full half-minute before Xie Xuanzhao sighed softly, "Let’s follow Brother Chen’s plan."

Mao Qi looked at her in disbelief, "You believe in your divination that much?"

"Of course not, truth be told, even divining if it will rain tomorrow, my success rate is not high."

"It’s just that..."

Xie Xuanzhao looked into the distance, a hint of bitterness appearing on her face.

"The tribulation has already begun."

"..."

Mao Qi’s continuously changing form suddenly stopped, and a woman of unparalleled beauty but with an extremely difficult expression appeared before everyone.

Her exquisite features were almost twisted together, as if rage had accumulated to its peak, and she didn’t even bother to maintain her instinctual transformation.

Mao Qi glared viciously at Chu Xiu, but in the end, accepted fate with a long sigh, stepping back half a pace and saying, "I hate entrusting hope to others the most, you’d better have your own reason."

"Otherwise, even if I have to die, I’ll do my utmost to kill you in the end!"

After finishing, he also glanced at Xie Xuanzhao, hastily adding, "And you! Can’t even predict if it’ll rain, why spout nonsense? If something goes wrong, I’ll kill you along with him!"

Xie Xuanzhao revealed an awkward expression, in fact, she could understand Mao Qi’s anger very well, several excellent opportunities to contend against Chu Xiu were ruined by her, if it turned out that her divination was incorrect and combining forces to kill Chu Xiu was the way to clear the stage, she too would be furious if she were Mao Qi.
