Chapter Thirty-Four Is Really Too Cheap

  "I'm a cultivator in the early stages of refining my spirit, if I were to say this out loud, who would believe me?"

  Sitting in his seat with a terrible look on his face, Guo Zhengyang only had one thought in mind - he suspected that he might have misheard.

  But that seems really true.

  What should I do now?

  Waiting for a calamity to befall and wipe him out? Wipe him out completely, without leaving even a single drop of residue?

  But just as his face turned pale, a new idea suddenly emerged in his mind, which made him tremble and immediately seriously interpreted it, after all, this was a matter of life and death. And when this new idea was interpreted, Guo Zhengyang suddenly froze, his body gradually stopped trembling, and his face also gradually regained some color.

  "It turns out that the 'Heavenly Tribulation' is about to descend refers to when I break through, only when I break through will the Heavenly Tribulation come down. It's just like in the mortal world, where the highest existence encounters the Heavenly Tribulation, it's also the time when they need to break through this mundane world and ascend to the immortal realm. I'm the same, only when breaking through from one realm to the next will the Heavenly Tribulation appear..."

  "There is also the fact that although the heavenly calamity is to slay lives that are not tolerated by heaven and earth, the heavenly way will not use great resources for small purposes. It will not bring about a heavenly calamity that can annihilate the highest existence, but only a heavenly calamity to slay me, the one who has plundered the heavenly mechanism. The heavenly calamity aimed at me is different from the normal heavenly calamity? Although it will be extremely fierce and deadly, it's not completely impossible to resist?"

  …………

  This time, the emergence of the idea is a supplement to the last time, adding some information about Tian Jie, which also made Guo Zhengyang feel greatly invigorated.

  He really thought that what he was about to encounter was the heavenly tribulation encountered by those supreme beings when they ascended, but it wasn't. This was just a heavenly tribulation specifically for him, a thief of heavenly machines. Although the form was the same, the intensity was completely different.

  It's true, he was just a gathering spirit in the early stages. If a heavenly tribulation capable of annihilating an almighty existence were to descend and destroy him, it would indeed feel like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Those almighty existences could shatter the void with a single thought, destroying planets with a wave of their hand. How terrifying must the heavenly tribulations targeting them be?

  It's probably not just one time, it can destroy a planet. If that kind of heavenly punishment is used on Guo Zhengyang at the initial stage of gathering spirits, it might even drag tens of billions of lives on Earth to be buried with him. Guo Zhengyang would not be able to withstand it, and others would also be affected and die.

  However, what he is about to encounter is not that kind, but only targeted at him, just enough to wipe out the existing boundary masters of Tian Jie.

  If he breaks through from the early stage of Jiling to the middle stage, then the heavenly tribulation he encounters will be enough to wipe out any strong Jiling in the early stage, and those who survive are one in ten thousand.

  But even if there is only one in ten thousand, it also represents that there is still a thread of life. As long as Guo Zhengyang's true strength far surpasses the initial stage of gathering spirits, then there is hope to survive.

  But once this calamity is over, there will be great benefits.

  After all, this calamity is small, but the meaning is also to wipe out the existence that is not tolerated by heaven and earth. This is the same as wiping out those who can shatter this world's highest existence. Those people who fail to cross the calamity will naturally have their souls annihilated, but if they succeed in crossing the calamity, they will ascend to a higher realm, leap out of reincarnation, and no longer be bound by their lifespan.

  Guo Zhengyang, if he could get through his own heavenly tribulation, would also gain great benefits. What kind of benefits he was not clear about, but the intention said that it was a benefit more powerful than sin.

  "It's only when I break through that I'll encounter the heavenly tribulation, and although the heavenly tribulation is merciless, I also have a thread of hope. No wonder, no wonder after this thought appeared, it never forced or tempted me again, because there was no need for that. If I want to survive, I must make myself stronger, become stronger and stronger, because the heavenly tribulation can wipe out all cultivators in my realm. To survive, I must become a strong being far beyond this realm, only then do I have hope. And guilt and opportunity are the foundation of my survival. Apart from that, as a lone cultivator, there's no other way for me to become one of the best."

  "Sin, after all, is not a poison, even if I had some precautions when absorbing sin into my body and drove all the sin to my left hand, but it was of no use at all. This sin is rejected by heaven and earth, and once it is added to one's body, it can no longer be washed away by human power. One can only wait for heavenly punishment to cleanse it, and if one endures, nothing will happen. If one cannot withstand it, the sin will disappear and scatter, but dying under heavenly punishment will also result in the soul flying away and dispersing, leaving nothing behind."

  After repeatedly thinking and understanding the information conveyed by his thoughts, Guo Zhengyang finally realized why this thought had appeared with variations, and did not force him.

  Because it's no longer necessary!!!!!

  Now he seems to have only two paths, the first is to stop cultivating and become an ordinary person who lives a stable life, never thinking about reversing his fate again, as long as he doesn't cultivate or break through, even if he has sins on his body, heavenly tribulation will not come.

  When it comes, you will have to face it, but it can still be controlled as long as you can control your cultivation.

  But is this what he wants?

  No!

  In his previous life, although he didn't have a deep understanding of the world of cultivators, he had grown accustomed to pursuing a life where he controlled his own destiny. He absolutely did not want to be reborn and live a life of mediocrity, content with being an ordinary person.

  The mindset of pursuing the ultimate way has long been deeply rooted in his decades of bloody struggle, and it is absolutely impossible to change easily.

  And if you don't choose this one.

  There is only one way left, to make oneself constantly stronger, and not just generally stronger, but at least far surpassing others in every realm, he has the qualification to face the heavenly tribulation's slaughter in subsequent breakthroughs.

  If you can't do it, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth. If you can do it, there is another vast world that has never been seen before.

  What's the point of forcing him to hunt and kill targets? Guo Zhengyang wanted to achieve those things, to face the heavenly tribulation, he had to constantly hunt and kill targets, constantly beheading sins and other people's heavenly secrets in order to have the capital to survive.

  When the thoughts in his mind no longer conveyed new messages, but instead became calm again and guided him towards a destination, Guo Zhengyang finally regained some composure.

  No longer as frightened as when I first heard of the heavenly calamity.

  It's also said that at first, he really thought it was the kind of heavenly tribulation that would annihilate the flying ascenders. If it were that kind, it would have arrived quickly, and he would naturally be dead without a doubt, absolutely impossible to survive. Even with his temperament, it's impossible for him to calm down, after all, reborn once, even the wishes of his past life haven't been fulfilled yet, and he's going to die again, still being annihilated by heaven and earth, that's too miserable. Moreover, if it were really that kind of heavenly tribulation, I'm afraid all living beings on this planet would perish with him, burying him together.

  But it turned out that this was not the case, it was just the heavenly punishment for him who had plundered the heavenly machine.

  He at least has the ability to fight for it, rather than just sitting and waiting for death.

  As long as he works hard, does his best and makes thorough preparations, there is still a chance for him to survive.

  As long as there is a glimmer of hope, it's enough for him to gradually calm down and think about this issue.

  However, after gradually calming down, Guo Zhengyang's eyes still flashed with a hint of depression. This idea was too despicable. It should have said that the sin would be punished by heavenly punishment earlier, but it had to wait until the sin really fell on itself and there was no escape before speaking. It was really too cheap.

  Now he seems to want to go to the destination guided by his intuition as well, after all, after knowing these things, he has deeply understood that only by constantly becoming stronger, far surpassing the strength of his peers, can he have hope to continue living on, alive to pursue his ultimate desire in his heart, and defy heaven and earth, reverse fate.
