BXBX NOVEL Chapter 390 Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining
Gu Mingzhou understood the intentions of those who wanted to erase the truth.
It was nothing more than fame and fortune.
If a cultivator with the potential to ascend appeared in a sect or family, it would bring glory and recognition to the sect or family.
However, if a cultivator failed to pass the tribulation of the foundation establishment stage and was severely injured, his meridians would be broken and he would become a disabled person. This would no longer be the glory of the family or sect, but a humiliation.
In order to cover up the truth of the matter, everyone covered up the person they thought was the loser, making his traces in the world the end.
"Those who edited the allusions and covered up the truth would never know that cultivators who failed to pass the tribulation would be willing to drag out an ignoble existence!" the Floating Jade Island Master slowly explained.
"If you fail to pass the tribulation and survive, even if you are not executed, you will lose all your resources and be abandoned by the world." The Floating Jade Island Master suddenly turned around.
"Did these seniors successfully re-cultivate?" Gu Mingzhou felt a little upset. He looked at the corpses on the altar and asked softly.
There were eighteen corpses sitting cross-legged on the altar.
"For hundreds of years, I've found nearly a hundred cultivators who failed their tribulations, provided them with resources, and even brought them to the Floating Jade Island. In the end, only eighteen cultivators succeeded in their cultivation." The Floating Jade Island Master's eyes were slightly red as he spoke.
When they re-established their Dao foundations, they finally realized the problem today.
Without a second lightning tribulation to temper one's body, one would not be able to ascend to the higher realm.
Hence, he began to search for a solution.
However, it was precisely this method that took away their lives!
Pain and regret appeared on the Island Master of Floating Jade Island's face as he stepped onto the altar. Gu Mingzhou silently followed behind him and also stepped onto the altar.
From below, one could only see a raised round altar and a corpse sitting cross-legged.
However, after stepping onto the altar, he discovered that the surface of the altar was engraved with all kinds of mysterious runes.
Gu Mingzhou didn't recognize the runes and had never seen them before, but he could feel an extremely overbearing and tough aura from them.
The powerful suppression made him feel like he was stuck in a quagmire, and he could not help but frown.
"Don't worry, it's just the power of the formation," the Floating Jade Island Master had already expected his performance.
The suppressive force instantly disappeared without a trace.
However, he could sense a domineering aura from the runes.
"What an overbearing formation. If it's activated, I'm afraid it can even suppress me." Gu Mingzhou said with lingering fear.
"The formation can only suppress the mortal realm to the maximum. The reason why you feel your heart palpitate is mostly because of the dozen or so who are sleeping." The Floating Jade Island Master pointed at the eighteen corpses sitting cross-legged in front of him as he explained.
According to the Floating Jade Island Master, these cultivators who failed in their ascension had passed away a hundred years ago.
But even if they were alive, they couldn't threaten Gu Mingzhou. How could they make Gu Mingzhou feel suppressed after they passed away?
The Island Master of Floating Jade Island did not answer Gu Mingzhou's question. Instead, he stepped on the strange runes and walked to the center of the altar.
"Brother Gu, come here and feel it." The Floating Jade Island Master turned around and waved his hand.
Gu Mingzhou did not understand why the Floating Jade Island Master had suddenly asked him to enter the array.
Even standing outside the altar, he felt suppressed. If he went in, the suppression would be even more severe.
Could it be that the other party didn't want to tell him the method of Ascension, but had other plans?
Countless thoughts flashed through Gu Mingzhou's mind.
After experiencing so many changes, he didn't know when he had started to subconsciously be on guard against everything.
However, he immediately shook his head secretly, feeling his own thoughts were laughable.
With Gu Mingzhou's current cultivation level, the Floating Jade Island Master might not be able to do anything to him.
Zhao Qiankun and Jing Wudao, who were inside his body, were enough to fight against the Floating Jade Island Master.
Furthermore, judging from the behavior of the Floating Jade Island Master, he was definitely not a sinister and cunning person.
Perhaps the Island Master of Floating Jade Island was only interested in his cultivation and not in any devious methods. Without hesitation, he entered the formation densely covered in symbols.
The domineering energy that he had felt earlier surged out instantly and was instilled into Gu Mingzhou's body.
The suppression that was as powerful as ten thousand mountains instantly filled his body, as if he was stuck in a quagmire.
It was an absolutely powerful force, different from all the binding arrays he had encountered in the past.
On the contrary, he felt the pressure ordinary people felt in front of Dao Foundation cultivators was suppressing his heart and soul.
It made it difficult for Gu Mingzhou to move.
A vast and majestic essence force gushed out of Gu Mingzhou's body and offset the suppressing force. Only then was Gu Mingzhou able to continue moving forward and step to the side of the Floating Jade Island Master.
From the beginning to the end, the Floating Jade Island Master had not said a word.
"What are your thoughts?" When Gu Mingzhou neutralized that force, the Floating Jade Island Master revealed a gratified smile and said, "
Gu Mingzhou did not understand what the Floating Jade Island Master meant. He recalled that if he had not used his spiritual energy in time, he would have been completely imprisoned here by that oppressive force.
"Very strong." He carefully recalled the process just now and simply spat out two words.
At that moment, Gu Mingzhou, who had advanced to the earth realm, almost suffered a loss. How could he not be strong?
"Do mortal realm cultivators have a chance of escaping from the array?" the Floating Jade Island Master asked again.
Not to mention a cultivator in the mortal realm, even a cultivator at the peak of the mortal realm would find it difficult to break free if they were trapped in this array!
Gu Mingzhou looked at the Floating Jade Island Master as he sensed the immense pressure from the formation.
He had a premonition that what the Floating Jade Island Master was about to say was the result he wanted to know.
"As long as you can use the spell formation to suppress the Dao Foundation stage cultivator who is about to undergo the tribulation, you can replace him and pass off the fake as the real one. You can seize the tribulation to temper your body and obtain the enlightenment of ascension!" Floating Jade Island Master's voice resounded throughout the spacious underground Palace.
Gu Mingzhou felt a chill and shuddered.
"This is the method you thought of?" Gu Mingzhou looked at the Island Master of Floating Jade Island in disbelief and asked.
According to the Floating Jade Island Master's method, the robbery alone was enough to shock Gu Mingzhou, not to mention the danger.
By using this magical formation, he could suppress the person who was about to undergo the lightning tribulation and replace him to seize the tribulation and temper his body.
It was indeed possible to ascend after obtaining the ascension guidance that should have belonged to another.
However, no matter how terrifying the lightning tribulation was, the cultivators would have to face it.
Even if he really succeeded and could ascend, what would happen to the cultivator whose Thunder tribulation was seized?
Seize someone else's?
Others would steal from others, and this would continue on endlessly.
After getting the answer he wanted to know, Gu Mingzhou became a little confused.
What Gu Mingzhou was confused about was not the great danger that the Floating Jade Island Master had always been worried about, but the consequences for the cultivator whose thunder tribulation had been seized, regardless of whether he succeeded or not.
This could indeed be considered a method.
But it was more like a vicious and overbearing method, and Gu Mingzhou found it hard to accept.
"I know what you're worried about. It's also the reason why I'm hesitant and don't dare to try." The Island Master of Floating Jade Island could read Gu Mingzhou's mind. He suddenly reached out and patted Gu Mingzhou's shoulder in comfort.
