Chapter 596 Each Taking Their Own Path
Meng Chuan declared his decision. “The third
path.”
“Third?” Fu Sui, Meng Hu, and Black Wind were somewhat astonished.
Fu Sui couldn’t help but persuade him. “Brother Eastcalm, the third path has a huge impact on one’s mind and consciousness. You won’t be able to cultivate in peace once you set foot on that path. I think it’s better if you don’t choose it. You can cultivate on the mountain. This cultivation environment is quite beneficial to our cultivation.”
“Staying in the mountain is also dangerous,” said Meng Hu. “It’s impossible for you to gain benefits for long. Therefore, you still have to choose a path.”
Fu Sui shook his head. “That doesn’t mean he should choose the third path.”
Black Wind nodded and said, “Brother Eastcalm, the first two paths have all sorts of benefits. Perhaps we may have to pay a corresponding price, but at the very least… We will benefit. As for the third path, it suppresses one’s mind and consciousness. The further you go, the stronger the suppression. It looks like a test. Passing the test may bring great benefits. However, we are ultimately only at the Fifth Tribulation realm. It’s very likely that we won’t pass the test and end up not obtaining any benefits.”
“Brother Black Wind, what you said makes sense.” Meng Chuan nodded. “This path has a huge impact on one’s mind and consciousness. It’s indeed possible that I won’t pass the test and fail to walk to the end, but I still wish to take the third path.”
Test? Benefits?
Meng Chuan didn’t mind. The third path’s influence on the mind was a rare occasion for Meng Chuan to cultivate his mind and willpower.
At his realm, it was too difficult to stir his mind and will. He was excited simply by discovering the uniqueness of the third path.
This was because he wasn’t far from comprehending a Sixth Tribulation law. Even if he cultivated in an ordinary cultivation environment in the outer realm, he would definitely be able to grasp one within 100 years. What he worried about the most were his mind and willpower. Could his Essence Soul World withstand the Sixth Tribulation law? Could it transcend the sixth Heavenly Tribulation?
The stronger one’s willpower was, the better it would be for him when it came to the Essence Soul Tribulation realm!
“Since you’ve made a decision, we won’t try to persuade you otherwise.” Fu Sui nodded. “We chose the paths ourselves, so the results have to be borne by yourself.”
“Brother Eastcalm.” Meng Hu looked at Meng Chuan. “The path you chose is bound to be filled with suffering. Perhaps it will have the best benefits if you reach the end. However, there’s a high chance that you won’t.” As he spoke, Meng Hu was the first to walk towards the second path. “Brother Eastcalm, good luck.” Black Wind walked towards the second path as well.
“Haha… Perhaps the one who gains the most in the end is Brother Eastcalm.” Fu Sui laughed loudly as he walked towards the first path.
“Good luck, everyone.” Meng Chuan smiled and walked towards the third path.
The four Fifth Tribulation Eminences that came to the ruin world made their choices.
This path. Meng Chuan stepped onto the third path. Crystal jade paved his feet as he listened to the sounds.
The sounds couldn’t be blocked. Although they were intermittent, they still transmitted into his Essence Soul and echoed in his Essence Soul World.
He couldn’t hear a single word clearly. It was vague, but it caused Meng Chuan’s mind and consciousness to suffer immense pressure. Continue walking.
After all, Meng Chuan was at the Essence Soul Fifth Tribulation realm. He didn’t know how high his mental cultivation was. At the very least, he could easily withstand the pressure in the third path’s early parts.
After standing there for 30 seconds, Meng Chuan took another step.
Although he could easily withstand the pressure, Meng Chuan had to stop for 30 seconds after taking every step. He carefully sensed the differences between the different sounds and the effects on his mind and consciousness.
One step every 30 seconds was extremely slow, but Meng Chuan was very patient. He even had some occasional gains. As a result, he would stay at the same spot for longer. “Hum… ha… Yu…” Although the voice was vague, Meng Chuan discovered some patterns. Each syllable of these sounds had different effects on his mind and consciousness. The cacophony of sounds was like countless sledgehammers slamming into his Essence Soul from different angles. Even the sledgehammers could be combined into one. However, Meng Chuan was still at the beginning of the path. Thus, he couldn’t hear much.
On the first day, Meng Chuan walked half a kilometer on the path. He piously continued, cherishing this place that honed his mind and willpower.
Meng Hu and Black Wind had traveled the second path for a day.
They repeatedly possessed different Sixth Tribulation Eminences. They could sense the various mysteries these Sixth Tribulation Eminences exhibited through their battles, cultivation, or strolls.
I’ve gained a lot, but… Meng Hu frowned slightly. My consciousness has been possessing bodies over and over again. I’ve tried to figure out the different Sixth Tribulation Eminences’ means. I’ve gained too much insight that it is confusing me.
He possessed many Sixth Tribulation Eminences. All of them grasped laws that were above Meng Hu.
In the beginning, Meng Hu was very excited and agitated. He felt as though a door had opened in front of him. He could clearly sense how a Sixth Tribulation Eminence executed their moves. Even though he had experienced only a portion of the moves, he could see the path ahead. However, he had seen too many possible paths!
On the first day, he had already seen the paths of hundreds of Sixth Tribulation Eminences despite taking the occasional break.
Some paths were completely different!
Many paths are at odds with others, causing me to hesitate. What is right? What is wrong? Which path should I take? Having traveled far on this path, I know the danger of it. If I don’t have enough determination, I’ll be completely lost. Meng Hu understood this point. He stood in the same spot and pondered for a moment. His eyes became determined.
How could he stop when the opportunity was right in front of him?
I’ll follow the Heavenly Dream Divine General’s path. I’ll study the paths that are suitable for me. If they aren’t suitable, I’ll directly delete that portion of memories from my head. Meng Hu gritted his teeth and continued walking.
About 100 feet behind Meng Hu, Black Wind had also discovered the problem with this path.
What should I do? If I study every Sixth Tribulation Eminence, I’ll definitely be lost in less than a month. Black Wind looked at Meng Hu. I can’t compare to Meng Hu. Meng Hu’s other true body is in Heavenly Dream Realm. He has a way to reduce the negative effects. I can only rely on myself. I have to be more cautious.
For Black Wind to come this far from a low-level world, he had suffered immensely. From then on, he became extremely cautious. When he decided to attack, he would bite his target like a poisonous snake. He usually restrained his sharp claws and fangs so as to wait for an opportunity.
I have to slow down my walking speed. The number of Sixth Tribulation Eminences that I possess is overlapping at an increasing pace. The overlaps will be greater as I go further. Black Wind pondered. I should focus on comprehending a few paths and abandon the rest. Furthermore… I have to slow down and comprehend them carefully.
Therefore, Black Wind advanced even slower on the second path.
The first path.
Fu Sui walked step by step on the first path, maintaining his state of epiphany. The feeling of constant epiphanies was just too wonderful.
All sorts of insights surged into his mind. In the past, he could be stuck with a bottleneck for over 100 years. Now, he could easily break through them in an instant.
On the first day he embarked on the first path, he walked five kilometers. He walked the fastest.
In just half a year, Fu Sui had traveled nearly 1,000 kilometers. He had also comprehended a third Fifth Tribulation law. With his perception, he should have been unable to comprehend a third Fifth Tribulation law his entire life under normal circumstances. However, he had managed to do it in half a year.
I may need to pay a price, but risks sometimes need to be taken. Now, I have a chance of fusing these three laws of mine to reach the Sixth Tribulation realm. Fu Sui held back his excitement and continued walking on the crystalline path.
