Chapter 235 : Chapter 235
Chapter 235: Heading to the Bai Family!
“One year of cooldown...”
Su Ming looked at the cooldown time displayed on the Simulator and muttered to himself.
His current cultivation was no longer at the level of the First Tribulation Realm as it had been before, yet the cooldown time was still one year.
Judging from that, Su Ming felt that the cooldown might increase once he broke through to the Immortal Realm.
That brought him to the real problem.
For Su Ming, the difficulty of the ninefold Chaos Divine Lightning was simply too great. In the simulation, he had only managed to hold out until the fifth bolt of Chaos Divine Lightning.
With that thought in mind, Su Ming slowly closed his eyes and began absorbing all the true insights from the simulation.
The next day!
“Hah!”
“So that’s how it is...”
After experiencing all of the true insights, Su Ming discovered something unusual.
In the simulation, the final ninefold Chaos Divine Lightning had been completely different from all the tribulations before it.
Every single bolt of the ninefold lightning tribulation was stronger than the final bolt of the eightfold Chaos Lightning Tribulation.
Su Ming’s mind raced as he tried to figure out how to overcome the difficulty before him and successfully survive the tribulation.
“The Xuanhuang Shield...”
Su Ming quickly thought of the Xuanhuang Shield, but it could only block one bolt of Chaos Divine Lightning, and only one piece of the Xuanhuang Shield could be gathered in the Fallen Immortal Abyss.
The Xuanhuang Shield had been forged by Xuanyuan Tianji using Xuanhuang Stone Marrow, so what he needed now was to find as much Xuanhuang Stone Marrow as possible.
Although that would be extremely difficult, it was the best solution he could think of for now.
It was already very hard to make another breakthrough in the direction of bodily strength. The Fallen Immortal Abyss was already the best body-tempering ground in the Qingxuan Realm.
After the simulation ended, Su Ming continued in seclusion so that he could familiarize himself with this new power.
One month later!
【Ding!】
【A Random Mission has been triggered!】
【Mission One: Kill an Immortal Realm eerie creature!】
【Mission Two: Destroy the Bai Family of Heavenly Emperor City!】
【Mission Three: Return to the Canglan Realm!】
【Note: Different missions yield different rewards!】
【Please choose one mission!】
Su Ming looked at the Simulator mission before him, his expression blanking for a moment.
This was the first time he had encountered a mission like this. It was actually a choice between three options.
And most importantly, this time it had not shown him the mission rewards in advance.
A moment later, Su Ming let out a sigh.
Of the three missions, only Mission Two—Destroy the Bai Family of Heavenly Emperor City—was something he could actually complete.
As for the others, whether it was killing an Immortal Realm eerie creature or returning to the Canglan Realm, both were impossible for Su Ming at his current level.
“I choose Mission Two!”
Left with no choice, Su Ming could only make his selection.
Otherwise, he would not get a single damn reward.
Still, in his view, the Simulator’s mission rewards were always Simulation Attempts. The only difference was how many.
【Please complete the mission: Destroy the Bai Family of Heavenly Emperor City!】
【Mission Reward: Weakened Simulation Attempts ×2】
【Mission Deadline: Three months!】
【Weakened Simulation Attempts: Compared with a normal simulation, you lose the chance to draw talents at the start.】
“What the—”
When Su Ming saw the mission reward, he could not help cursing the Simulator a few times.
The good news was that completing the mission would give him two simulation attempts.
The bad news was that neither of those two simulations would allow him to draw talents.
For Su Ming, the talent-drawing phase at the start of every simulation was always the most exciting part.
Not to mention that although he did not draw a red talent every time, once he did draw one, the improvement it gave him was enormous.
A long while later, Su Ming accepted the reality of it.
“So what if they’re weakened? Right now, the most important thing is surviving the tribulation.”
“Destroy the Bai Family, huh...”
This mission posed no pressure at all for Su Ming.
At the current stage, the strongest person in the Bai Family was only at the Heavenly Venerable Realm. It was just that they had quite a few Heavenly Venerable Realm cultivators.
But in the simulation, he had already thoroughly understood the limits of his own strength.
As things stood now, Su Ming was invincible beneath the Immortal Realm, and even against Immortal Realm cultivators, he could still fight.
With that thought, he immediately rose and left his wooden hut, heading for Chen Shu’s residence.
Su Ming wanted to find Chen Shu and ask her for the location of the Bai Family in Heavenly Emperor City.
Su Ming only knew the location of the upper and lower cities of Heavenly Emperor City after they had been rebuilt many years later, but that place was currently the lair of the Eldritch Race.
...
“The location of the Bai Family in Heavenly Emperor City?”
“Why are you suddenly asking about the Bai Family?”
Chen Shu looked at Su Ming with a puzzled expression.
“Do you still remember what I told you not long ago?”
Su Ming did not directly reveal his purpose. Instead, he continued along the line of what he had said before.
Now that the mission required him to wipe out the Bai Family, what he had previously intended to tell Chen Shu about the Bai Family joining forces with the Eldritch Race also had to be adjusted a little.
“Saving the Hope Zone from disaster?”
“Now that you mention it, I’ve been wanting to ask you. What exactly is it? You made it sound so mysterious.”
The moment Su Ming brought it up, Chen Shu’s curiosity was instantly stirred.
There was no helping it. Su Ming had been far too mysterious before, to the point that she had been thinking about it every day during this whole period.
Right after that, Su Ming told Chen Shu that the Bai Family intended to cooperate with the Eldritch Race, push all of the humans of the Qingxuan Realm into the abyss, and even prepare to raise the human race in captivity.
After hearing that, Chen Shu froze where she stood, her lips parting involuntarily.
“This...”
“How is that possible?”
Seeing Chen Shu’s expression, Su Ming knew that she did not believe it in her heart, but he could not be bothered to explain further.
“If you don’t believe me, then come with me. Once we go to the Bai Family, you’ll know the truth.”
“Don’t worry. I have spatial Divine Powers. If I can’t beat the Bai Family, escaping won’t be a problem.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ming directly used the Great Void Technique and Void Concealment right in front of Chen Shu.
Those two Divine Powers left Chen Shu utterly stunned.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Shu decided to accept Su Ming’s proposal.
In her view, leaving the Hope Zone and going to the Bai Family in Heavenly Emperor City would not be dangerous. In the Qingxuan Realm, only the Eldritch Race posed real danger.
Moreover, Chen Shu wanted to see the state of the Bai Family with her own eyes and find out whether it was really as Su Ming had said.
No matter what, Chen Shu simply could not bring herself to believe what Su Ming had told her.
When Su Ming saw that Chen Shu had agreed, the corners of his lips curved upward slightly.
He knew that if he had said from the start that he was going to challenge the entire Bai Family by himself, Chen Shu would never have agreed to let him go.
Su Ming understood that in Chen Shu’s eyes, going there like this was no different from courting death.
The next day!
Chen Shu left the Hope Zone with Su Ming and headed toward Heavenly Emperor City.
Before leaving, Su Ming had left a message for Xuanyuan Tianji, informing her of the purpose of this trip.
Qingxuan Immortal Domain.
With Chen Shu guiding the way, Su Ming used the Great Void Technique to travel with her, and in only about a month, they arrived at the Bai Family’s Heavenly Emperor City.
After arriving near Heavenly Emperor City, Chen Shu asked Su Ming in a low voice, “What do we do next? Sneak in?”
But what Chen Shu had not expected was that the instant her words fell, Su Ming’s figure shot into Heavenly Emperor City like a gust of wind.
“Hey!!!”
“What are you trying to do?”
