Chapter 631: Chapter 630: I’m Experienced in Crossing the Tribulation, I Can Teach You

Somewhere in the forest.

Swordsman Beitian collapsed weakly to the ground.

He had done his best. He had given it his all.

Unfortunately, he still hadn’t managed to shake that person. His opponent was simply too strong.

It was a power he could not surmount.

And he was still at Tier Six.

"JIE JIE JIE... Impressive. Truly impressive. To be able to execute such a North Celestial Sword with a Tier Six Cultivation is no simple feat."

The mysterious man in black robes walked up to Swordsman Beitian and said, "As a reward for showing me such a North Celestial Sword, I’ll grant you death.

Hahahaha, hahahaha."

Then, countless black thorns shot out from the mysterious man’s body and pierced directly into Swordsman Beitian.

PFFT...

Blood flowed endlessly as Swordsman Beitian coughed up mouthful after mouthful. He was powerless to stop it; his consciousness was on the verge of fading.

His body could do nothing but twitch by instinct.

"Tsk tsk, quite resilient, aren’t you? Don’t worry, I’ll give you one more. You should thank me for ending this pain for you..."

As he said this, the black-robed man suddenly spun around.

He then quickly departed, unable to stop himself from cursing, "Dammit, I fooled around for too long."

That’s right, he had sensed them. More powerful experts had appeared, and they were right within the target area.

If he were any later, they might have already snatched the Celestial God Flower and run off.

He had thought he was the only one who knew the Celestial God Flower’s location. He never expected someone else to know it even more clearly than he did.

’If the Celestial God Flower gets stolen just like this, I’ll be in for a world of hurt.’

Meanwhile, Swordsman Beitian, still on the ground, could no longer feel anything. Though he was still alive, his body was merely moving on instinct.

His true consciousness was already dissipating, on the verge of extinguishing at any moment.

On the brink of death, Swordsman Beitian seemed to see his master.

His master was standing right beside him, asking, "Do you have any regrets?"

Regrets?

Swordsman Beitian was stunned for a moment. ’Regrets?’

He didn’t seem to have ever considered this question.

’But what is there to regret?’

’Do I regret not running away? Or do I regret meeting Po Xiao?’

If he had never met Po Xiao, he never would have done something so foolish.

He should have lived. He should have lived longer. Life might not have been perfect, but it certainly wouldn’t have been this difficult.

But now, he was about to die.

So, does he regret it?

’If I had another chance, what would I choose?’

Finally, Swordsman Beitian closed his eyes.

’No. I’m happy. I’m even content. I don’t regret it.’

’If I had another chance, I would still want to meet Po Xiao. I would still stay. I would still walk this path.’

This was his own Dao.

’I absolutely do not regret it.’

Finally, Swordsman Beitian’s thoughts began to cease.

But in his last moment, he heard a sentence: "Today, this Daoist has a fateful encounter with you."

A Daoist had suddenly appeared beside Swordsman Beitian. No one knew how he had gotten there.

He stood there, looking at Swordsman Beitian. "Little friend, your fortune is deep. You possess a great opportunity, a great destiny.

"But this destiny is not one given by this Daoist.

"The destiny he can give you, this Daoist can give you as well. And the destiny this Daoist offers will even surpass his."

"So, little friend, do you want this monumental destiny?"

"Dead? If you’re dead, I’ll take that as a yes."

"The destiny of this Daoist can raise the dead, grant new life, allow you to tread the Dao, let you enter sainthood, and allow you to slay all enemies under heaven with a single strike."

"I’ll take one Third-Grade Spirit Stone from you, and this destiny shall be yours."

"This... is fate."

"Fate... is truly wondrous and ineffable."

Jiang Zuo was currently concentrating on absorbing the Yin Yang Five Elements.

This absorption would take some time, and Jiang Zuo wasn’t sure how long the situation in the forest could be maintained.

But it definitely wouldn’t be resolved quickly.

Their power levels should be about the same, so the fight would take a while.

Although he didn’t need the Celestial God Flower, Jian Shisan did. And since he had already obtained crucial information, he had to help bring the Celestial God Flower back.

These thoughts were but a fleeting flash. He truly didn’t dare to get distracted right now.

Advancing from Innate Two Qi to Three Qi could lead to severe injuries with the slightest mistake, just like last time. ℴ

The gain would not be worth the loss.

At first, Jiang Zuo’s absorption was going smoothly. But as time went on, more and more of the power was converting into Spiritual Qi.

This meant his Innate Two Qi was losing its nourishment. At this rate, even if he finished absorbing the Yin Yang Five Elements, he wouldn’t be able to condense the Innate Three Qi.

Jiang Zuo tried to control it as delicately as possible, but no matter how hard he tried, it kept happening. His cultivation was about to advance.

If he let it be, his Cultivation would just keep breaking through, and who knows how long he’d have to wait for the Innate Three Qi.

’Admit defeat?’

Jiang Zuo frowned.

He continuously scanned his body, sensing the flow of the Innate Two Qi and the Power of Yin Yang and Five Elements. He needed to find a way to increase his chances of condensation.

After a while, Jiang Zuo felt that his entire body was surrounded by the dissipating Power of Yin Yang and Five Elements.

’I feel like... something is missing.’

A moment later, Jiang Zuo understood. He was indeed missing something.

Pressure.

He needed pressure—the greater, the better. It didn’t matter if it was physical or mental.

As long as there was pressure, it would be fine.

’So, how can I create that pressure?’

’For example, have Su Qi give me a call?’

’Oho, that would certainly be enough pressure, but it would also be lethal.’

’Besides, psychological pressure probably wouldn’t be very effective.’

’So, external pressure is the most suitable. But where would I find external pressure?’

Jiang Zuo realized his preparations had been insufficient.

The main issue was that this life was too different from his previous one. In his last life, advancing to Three Qi hadn’t been this fast.

At higher Cultivation levels, external pressure shouldn’t be necessary.

Jiang Zuo slowed his absorption speed and opened his eyes. He needed to see if there was anything that could help him.

Soon, Jiang Zuo saw Ximen Chuihuo.

But Ximen Chuihuo couldn’t give him any pressure. Then what about the Jinling Loach?

’No, that won’t work either.’

’Then what else is there?’

Just as Jiang Zuo was frowning, he suddenly sensed the aura of a Celestial Tribulation.

It was very faint, but it was definitely there.

Then, he looked at Ximen Chuihuo again.

’Tier Two Peak, about to undergo his Tribulation Crossing.’

’Perfect.’

’This pressure is perfect.’

Ximen Chuihuo naturally saw that Jiang Zuo had woken up, but facing Jiang Zuo’s gaze (though he couldn’t see it, he could feel it), he felt that something was off.

It was as if he was being targeted.

At that moment, Jiang Zuo spoke up. "You’re about to cross your tribulation?"

Ximen Chuihuo immediately nodded. "I am indeed about to. But I was planning to go back and discuss it first. After all, I have no experience with Crossing the Tribulation."

Jiang Zuo said, "I have plenty of experience. I can teach you."

Before Ximen Chuihuo could even thank him, Jiang Zuo continued, "So, go ahead and cross your tribulation."

Hearing this, Ximen Chuihuo was completely bewildered.

He realized that when Po Xiao said he would "teach" him, he likely meant a live demonstration.

’But I haven’t made any preparations. Isn’t doing it now a bit... reckless?’

After hesitating for a moment, Ximen Chuihuo said, "Then I shall have to rely on you, fellow Daoist."
