  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.

  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.”

  Chapter 601 - Constantly On the Mountain

  Meng Chuan looked at Fu Sui and frowned slightly. “Fu Sui, you should know that I cultivate both my body and Essence Soul. The third path is very important for the tempering of my mind and will.”

  “There are many ways to cultivate one’s mind. It doesn’t have to be done on this black mountain ruin,” said Fu Sui with a smile. “How about this? If you leave in three years, I’ll compensate you with 3,000 Outer Realm Essence Crystals. Just treat it as helping me.”

  Meng Chuan shook his head. “I can’t help you.”

  Fu Sui’s expression sank slightly. His strength was now at the Sixth Tribulation realm. His status was much higher than that of an ordinary Fifth Tribulation Eminence. He had already tried to persuade Meng Chuan, but Meng Chuan wasn’t having any of it. “Eastcalm,” said Fu Sui with a frown, “I was the one who brought you into the ruin world and gave you the chance to obtain opportunities and benefits. You should be grateful for this favor. Can’t you help me on account of that?”

  “Exploring the ruin together is about mutual weal and woe,” said Meng Chuan. “Before exploring the ruin, no one knows how great the benefits and the disasters are. Even now, I don’t know how much trouble this ruin will bring. It’s still early to talk about favors now, right?”

  Meng Chuan had only explored a portion of the ruin. He was worried that the third path would lead to deep trouble.

  Fu Sui stared at Meng Chuan. “You’ve been inside for 30 years. That’s enough, right!?”

  Meng Chuan’s expression turned cold as well. Since the other party had brought him in, he owed him a favor. However, mutual weal and woe were unavoidable when it came to exploring ruins. It would be a joke for the other party to use this debt of gratitude to request recompense.
