Chapter 595 - Decision

Chapter 595 Decision

Meng Chuan approached the mountain and watched the forbidden creatures fly up in a daze. He instinctively felt that it would be very dangerous to barge up the mountain. Thus, he said, “Since the creator of Black Mountain created three paths, he must have a motive. The paths are built for cultivators to walk. If we violate the creator’s intentions, we might suffer a disastrous fate when we forcefully ascend the mountain.”

Old Fiend Black Wind observed and nodded. “I agree with Brother Eastcalm. If we don’t ascend the mountain along the built paths and choose to fly up the mountain by force, it will anger the creator of the black mountain. All those sinful creatures have gone mad. Perhaps, madness will be our result if we forcefully fly up the mountain.”

Fu Sui looked at Meng Chuan. “Brother Eastcalm, why don’t you try using your Essence Soul avatar?”.

Meng Chuan frowned and looked at Fu Sui. “Fu Sui, I might end up as a lunatic if I forcefully ascend the mountain. These forbidden creatures are in no way inferior to Tribulation Eminences, but all of them have gone mad. If I forcefully fly up, all my avatars might go crazy. It’s not wise for me to give it a try, right?”

Although he was in charge of reconnaissance and vigilance, it didn’t mean that he would send himself to his death.

If all his bodies went crazy, it would be equivalent to death. After all, he wouldn’t even have a conscious mind. Meng Chuan instinctively realized the danger of forcefully ascending the mountain, so he naturally wouldn’t do it.

It would just be stupid to do such a thing despite knowing that it was very dangerous.

“All your avatars will go crazy? That’s unlikely. You have your true body in your homeworld. It definitely won’t affect your true body in your homeworld,” said Fu Sui with a smile. “Without an Eighth Tribulation Eminence appearing, they won’t be able to threaten your homeworld’s true body.”

“It’s a huge loss for me if it were to affect this true body of mine.” Meng Chuan shook his head. His evaluation of Fu Sui had worsened greatly. He continued, “Besides, it’s still unknown who the creator of this black mountain is. He might be an Eighth Tribulation Eminence, or even an Eternal existence!”

“It’s fine if you aren’t willing. You are too cautious,” said Fu Sui with a smile. “If it weren’t because my Essence Soul avatar is unable to withstand the pressure from this ruin world, I would have long attempted it.”

Meng Chuan didn’t argue further.

Perhaps Fu Sui felt that he could give it a try, but Meng Chuan didn’t want to. He just needed to stay safe because it wouldn’t take long before he had a chance of reaching the Sixth Tribulation realm!

When he reached the Sixth Tribulation realm, even an Eighth Tribulation Eminence wouldn’t be able to pose a threat to him in the River of Spacetime. It was one thing for him to be bold during expeditions, but now? He had to be careful! These forbidden creatures were all at the Fifth Tribulation realm, and didn’t they all become crazy? “It’s up to Brother Eastcalm,” said Black Wind. “Since Brother Eastcalm isn’t willing to send an Essence Soul avatar up the mountain and our Essence Soul avatars are too weak... It looks like we can only give the three paths a try.”

Meng Hu nodded. “These three paths shouldn’t reach a dead end.”

“We can give it a try,” said Fu Sui as he walked toward the leftmost path.

After stepping onto the leftmost path, Fu Sui stopped moving. He stood there and carefully sensed his surroundings. His face was filled with obsession. He took a few seconds to regain himself before he took a step back and left the path.

“It’s unbelievable.” Fu Sui pointed to the leftmost path. “Just stepping on this path will result in a constant state of epiphany. It’s much better for cultivation than when we just entered the mountain.”

“Epiphany?” Meng Chuan, Meng Hu, and Black Wind were alarmed.

When they entered the mountain, it greatly benefited their cultivation. Back then, Meng Chuan believed that he would probably be able to comprehend a Sixth Tribulation law within a month or two. Now, the leftmost path was even more helpful to one’s cultivation?

“I’ll give it a try.” Meng Hu immediately took a step forward. He also immersed himself in the feeling. He even took a few steps forward before retreating after a while. He nodded and said, “It is indeed the case. One will be in a constant state of epiphany once they step onto the path, but it only lasts for a few seconds. One has to continue advancing along the path. As long as one advances slowly, they will be able to maintain the state of epiphany. I believe that, on the leftmost path... I have a chance of mastering a third Fifth Tribulation law. I even have a chance of fusing three laws and comprehending a Sixth Tribulation law.”

Black Wind also walked up and retreated after experiencing the situation.

Meng Chuan wasn’t in a hurry. After all, he was close to grasping a Sixth Tribulation law. He was the last to step forward.

The smooth path was paved with crystal jade. As he walked on it, he felt a warmth spread from his feet to his entire body. His body felt very warm and comfortable. His Essence Soul entered a state of epiphany as large amounts of inspiration constantly surged through his mind. The various insights in Meng Chuan’s mind were constantly integrated. A vast and complete embryonic set of laws were constantly perfected in his mind.

In just a few seconds, the warmth beneath his feet receded, and his Essence Soul returned to normal. Meng Chuan took another step forward, and his Essence Soul entered a state of epiphany again.

After taking two steps, Meng Chuan retreated. Meng Chuan was also shocked. I’ll probably be able to comprehend a Sixth Tribulation law if I spent two hours on this path.

It might take a century elsewhere and one to two months on the mountain, but this path would allow him to comprehend a Sixth Tribulation Law in about two hours.

Constant state of epiphany?

Although Meng Chuan and company were excited, they were very cautious. “The greater the benefits, the greater the price,” said Meng Hu. “Since the opportunity is here, we should take the risk,” said Fu Sui.

“Let’s try the second path,” said Black Wind with a smile.

The second path was also the middle path.

Meng Chuan quickly stepped onto it. The moment he did so, his consciousness rumbled.

What happened? Meng Chuan was astonished.

He transformed into a towering flaming giant, about five million kilometers tall. It was currently sleeping on a Grand Yang Star.

Although Meng Chuan became a fire giant, he couldn’t control the body at all. When the giant woke up and stretched, it stirred the Grand Yang Star’s endless flames.

Oh? Meng Chuan couldn’t control the body at all. However, he could clearly sense every part of the giant’s body. The giant stretched its back, and it even subconsciously controlled the flames. Meng Chuan could sense the profundity of the flames. This giant was a Sixth Tribulation Eminence. The giant’s every action was devastating. Meng Chuan could see some of the fire laws on the giant’s body.

In just a few seconds, Meng Chuan’s consciousness returned to his normal body. He stood on the second path and took another step.

When he took the second step, his consciousness rumbled again and possessed another living being. This time it was a silver-armored, golden-horned alien. It was fighting another mighty figure in the void.

Boom!

The void collapsed.

The silver-armored, golden-horned alien walked through the shattered void, using the void as a weapon as it attacked its opponent.

It’s another Sixth Tribulation Eminence. Its attainments in the void are much higher than mine. Meng Chuan gained something from this scene. In just a few seconds, his consciousness returned to his body.

“With every step on the second path, one’s consciousness seems to possess an Eminence’s body,” exclaimed Meng Hu. “I took nine steps on it. I possessed a Sixth Tribulation Eminence with every step I took. I possessed one Sixth Tribulation Eminence twice. This second path spans about 50,000 kilometers. If I were to reach the mountain peak, how many mighty figures would I have possessed?”

“It’s fascinating.”

Meng Chuan, Fu Sui, and Black Wind were astonished. They could constantly possess Sixth Tribulation Eminences.

The third path... Meng Chuan and company also began to try out the rightmost path.

Huh? The moment Meng Chuan stepped on it, he heard a cacophony. He couldn’t hear the complete sentence, nor could he understand what it meant. However, he felt an invisible pressure suppress his Essence Soul and mind when he heard the voice.

“This third path?” Meng Chuan stood there for a moment as he heard intermittent sounds. The sound seemed to come from the top of the mountain as it constantly suppressed his mind.

Meng Chuan took another step forward, and the intermittent sounds seemed to become clearer. The pressure on his mind and consciousness also increased.

Meng Chuan took nine steps. The voice was still intermittent, but each of the nine steps he took increased the mental pressure.

“We’ve finished probing all of them.” Fu Sui looked at his three companions. “There are three paths. The left path induces a state of constant epiphany. The path in the middle allows one to possess an Eminence that is at the Sixth Tribulation realm at least. The right path allows one to listen to sounds that exert immense pressure on one’s mind and consciousness. From the looks of it, we have to make our own choices.”

Black Wind, Meng Hu, and Meng Chuan nodded. “Yes.”

“It looks like we’ll be separated from each other here,” said Meng Hu.

“The first path induces a constant state of epiphany. This is my greatest hope of reaching the Sixth Tribulation realm. I’ll definitely choose the first path if I’m seeking opportunities amidst risk.” Fu Sui made a decisive decision.

It was very good to possess Eminences, but one could only experience it since it was cast by other Eminences.

As for epiphanies? Whatever he comprehended was his own. In terms of help, the first path was much better than the second.

“The benefits of constant epiphany are too great. However, the price may be great. I don’t dare to choose it,” said Meng Hu. “I’ll choose the second path.”

“I’ll choose the second path as well.” Black Wind nodded. Although he was ambitious, he felt that taking the same path as Meng Hu, who came from a high-level world, wouldn’t be a bad choice. Black Wind knew very well. “Tiger King, who’s a Heavenly Dream Divine General, is over 100 times more knowledgeable than me. His choice might be the best.”

“Brother Eastcalm, which path do you plan on choosing?” asked Black Wind with a smile.
