I Have Awakened The Deduction System

391 More Difficult Than Difficult

“Sigh!” Gu Mingzhou looked up at the sky and sighed. He didn’t know what to do.

“The world is like this? There’s a problem with the rules set by the heavenly Dao, so we can only accept it.” The Floating Jade Island Master advised.

Gu Mingzhou was silent.

He knew what the Floating Jade Island Master meant. Cultivators only had one chance to transcend the lightning tribulation, and it was indeed a problem with the heavenly Dao.

Just as the Floating Jade Island Master had said, even if they did not try to seize the thunder tribulation, how many cultivators in the world could successfully pass the thunder tribulation and form their Dao Foundation?

Cultivation seemed to be in search of power and immortality.

However, life would always be life. The heavenly Dao was heartless, and all living things were nothing but a joke in the face of the heavenly Dao.

If the king of hell tells you to die at midnight, you won’t live past midnight! Was the cultivation world not the same?

The lightning tribulation was the heavenly Dao’s most powerful method of punishing all living things!

Under the heavenly lightning, everything in the world seemed to be vulnerable. ????????????r????????????. ????o????

Even if he could rebuild his Dao Foundation and attract the thunder tribulation, the chances of him successfully passing it was extremely small.

Furthermore, no mistakes could be made during the tribulation!

It was just like how Gu Mingzhou had failed his tribulation.

There were too many examples like this.

How many people could really wash away their karma?

Eighty percent of it becomes their karma. Gu Mingzhou and the eighteen corpses sitting cross-legged on the altar were all considered lucky existences.

“Although it seems like a bandit’s means, as long as we ask for the opinions of others in advance, there is still hope. Not many people like us are obsessed with cultivation and want to see the wider world of cultivation.” The Floating Jade Island Master said slowly.

“Indeed!” Gu Mingzhou agreed with the Floating Jade Island Master.

When cultivators formed their Dao Foundation, the chances of them transcending the lightning tribulations were even slimmer than cultivators who focused on cultivation.

But they didn’t want to die.

If Gu Mingzhou or the Floating Jade Island Master, or anyone else with more hope than him, were willing to withstand the lightning tribulation, why not?

Now, he was a little tempted.

The Floating Jade Island Master’s words caused him to waver from his initial apprehension and disbelief.

It was just like what Zhao Qiankun had said when Gu Mingzhou was hesitating about whether he should cultivate the Nine Turns Heavenly Devouring Technique.

One could not judge a weapon by its quality.

Everything depended on the person who used them.

Seeing that Gu Mingzhou’s brows had relaxed, the Island Master of Floating Jade Island smiled.

“So, don’t think about what kind of consequences it will cause to others. Instead, you should think about how to overcome the lightning tribulation.” The Floating Jade Island Master continued.

“If other cultivators were involved in the tribulation, the power of the lightning tribulation would be multiplied, regardless of the strength of the cultivator.

After the lightning tribulation descended, the aura of the person undergoing the tribulation had already been concealed by the formation.

However, when the lightning tribulation discovered that the tribulation taker had changed, the number of lightning tribulations would still multiply.

It would also change according to the strength of the cultivation.

The more powerful you are, the more terrifying the lightning tribulation is!”

The Floating Jade Island Master suddenly turned around. A gust of wind swept out from his long sleeves and instantly engulfed the entire altar.

The gale swept through the eighteen corpses sitting cross-legged on the altar.

As the wind blew, the eighteen corpses on the altar, who were originally dressed in neat clothes and had their makeup on, were instantly unrecognizable. They quickly turned into charred corpses.

“Even if we find someone who is willing to give up the thunder tribulation for us to seize the thunder tribulation and obtain the opportunity to ascend, it is very difficult to succeed.” The Floating Jade Island Master sighed as he looked at the charred corpse in the gale.

“What about the cultivators who are willing to sacrifice their lightning tribulations?” Gu Mingzhou suddenly asked.

When he saw the appearance of the cultivators who had failed their second tribulation, he couldn’t help but think about this.

After snatching the lightning tribulation, he failed his tribulation transcendence.

What about the tribulation takers who were imprisoned in the formation and had their auras hidden?

The Island Master of Floating Jade Island did not expect Gu Mingzhou to suddenly ask this and fell silent.

“Did they all die?” Gu Mingzhou said the answer in his heart. He eagerly hoped that the Floating Jade Island Master could overthrow his answer.

What he received was a helpless nod from the Island Master of Floating Jade Island, which completely destroyed the last hope in Gu Mingzhou’s heart.

“Eighteen mortal realm cultivators!” Gu Mingzhou looked at the complicated runes that were shining with a faint light and muttered to himself.

There were many living beings in the world, billions of them.

However, how many of them could truly step into cultivation?

There were even fewer cultivators who could build their Dao Foundation.

The most important thing was the eighteen cultivators didn’t want to die. It was human nature, so what was wrong with that?

Because he didn’t want to die, he chose to give up the opportunity to ascend.

However, it did not save their lives.

Gu Mingzhou even thought that if they gave it their all, they might still have a chance.

The Floating Jade Island Master fell silent and did not speak for a long time.

The entire underground palace fell silent.

...

“You have to know that even if we didn’t appear, they would still die without the ability to pass the tribulation. We are just giving them hope. Is there anything wrong with that?” the Floating Jade Island Master’s Voice was sonorous and forceful, leaving no room for doubt.

After saying that, the Floating Jade Island Master felt a little lonely and sad. Without waiting for Gu Mingzhou to speak, he turned and walked down the altar.

“Brother Liu!” Gu Mingzhou quickly shouted.

“If the forgotten cultivator wants to ascend, this is the only way. Three days later, I will personally come to pick you up. Whether you want to learn this array or not is up to you!” The Floating Jade Island Master interrupted Gu Mingzhou and disappeared from the underground palace without looking back.

In fact, Gu Mingzhou did not know that the life and death of the eighteen cultivators who had given up their thunder tribulations were not important to the Floating Jade Island Master. What was important was the cultivators who had undergone their second tribulation.

He, who had lost the chance to ascend to the higher world, could only watch the people around him leave. He had long lost his friends.

In this cruel world where the strong preyed on the weak, how could there be compassion?

Cultivators who chose to re-cultivate would have the same fate as the Floating Jade Island Master. That was why they could chat and become friends, searching for a way to ascend together.

In the end, these cultivators failed and died during their ascension. The surviving Island Master of Floating Jade Island was the one who suffered the true pain.

The Floating Jade Island Master could ignore the life and death of others, but he could not ignore the life and death of a cultivator who had re-cultivated for the second time.

After all, if a cultivator failed a second time, he would feel despair.

...

Incomparable despair!

The sudden departure of the Island Master of Floating Jade Island left Gu Mingzhou in a daze. He stood in place and stared blankly at the charred corpses around him.

He could not figure out why the Floating Jade Island Master had left him behind to make the decision.

He had advised him to think twice before he acted because the other party knew the method was dangerous.

Actually, the Island Master of Floating Jade Island did not want to be tangled up with Gu Mingzhou, so he chose to leave.

As for whether he would learn this array, the Floating Jade Island Master would not interfere.

Both the Floating Jade Island Master and Gu Mingzhou were the top existences in this world when their cultivation reached the earth realm.

No one could change their thoughts or choices.

The spacious underground palace seemed even more deserted.

The presence of the charred corpses around him caused the yin energy here to be heavy. Gu Mingzhou felt a chill.

At this moment, the black gas floated out of Gu Mingzhou’s chest and out of the altar. It gradually condensed into Zhao Qiankun’s figure in mid-air.
