Ye Futian and Zong Chan went over to the Millet Emperor. The elderly man from before was also there. His name was Li Changsheng, and he had entered w.a.n.gshen Watchtower even earlier than Zong Chan. He had begun following the Millet Emperor many years ago.

Now he was in charge of most of the matters in the w.a.n.gshen Watchtower.

Li Changsheng showed Ye Futian a gentle smile. He had an extraordinary aura that made people feel very comfortable.

“The both of you possess a Perfect Grade Divine Wheel. It’s almost too much that the two of you are cultivating in this w.a.n.gshen Watchtower. You guys still sparred! Was this out of brotherly love?” Li Changsheng said with a smile. His tone was very gentle, like a spring breeze.

“I was just curious and wanted to see brother Ye’s Path,” Zong Chan replied with a smile.

“Brother Zong can be considered as my senior already. A High-level Renhuang with a perfect Great Path is someone that I naturally can’t compare to. Of course, I couldn’t have been sparring with him. I was merely asking for some guidance,” Ye Futian replied with a smile.

“Both of you are outstanding talents in the entire Divine Prefecture, and yet you are so formal and humble to each other. This old man can’t bear to listen any longer,” Li Changsheng said with a smile. “Oh yes, I have yet to introduce myself to our little friend Ye. I am Li Changsheng, and I’ve been cultivating in the w.a.n.gshen Watchtower all along.”

“Senior, you are too kind.” Ye Futian bowed slightly. He could sense that Li Changsheng’s cultivation level was at the ninth Renhuang level.

Months ago, when he first entered the w.a.n.gshen Watchtower, it was he who was looking on. All the other Renhuangs regarded him as the core of their group.

It was just that now that they were in the presence of the Millet Emperor, he gave off a completely different feeling.

Furthermore, from the conversations of a few people, Ye Futian could tell that the Millet Emperor had a rather casual personality. Otherwise, Li Changsheng and Zong Chan would not be speaking so casually either. Obviously, they were very used to it already.

“Calling me ‘senior’ feels so distant. Since you are also cultivating in this w.a.n.gshen Watchtower, you are also a friend of the Path. You can call me Brother Changsheng,” Li Changsheng said. Even though they were not formally the Millet Emperor’s disciples, they called him their teacher.

The Millet Emperor also would not take Ye Futian as his disciple. However, since he was also cultivating in the w.a.n.gshen Watchtower, he did not mind calling him his brother in cultivation.

“Brother Changsheng.” Ye Futian certainly was not bothered by these small details and bowed lightly.

“Mmm, I have once again managed to scam a powerful pract.i.tioner into becoming my junior,” Li Changsheng said with a smile. “In the future, when you step onto the pinnacle of cultivation, remember to take care of your brother here.”

“Brother Changsheng, stop teasing me.” Ye Futian shook his head with a smile. Currently, he was still a good bit weaker than Li Changsheng.

“Brother Zong, perhaps in the future, you will have a rival, and you won’t be lonely anymore.” Li Changsheng smiled at Zong Chan. As the top prodigy of cultivation of w.a.n.gshen Watchtower, he was always unrivaled in his generation. No one could hope to compete with him.

“I am actually looking forward to it.” Zong Chan smiled.

“I am still too far away from Brother Zong,” Ye Futian humbly said. However, there was quite a difference between them.

“People enter the world of cultivation at different times, so how strong or weak you are now means very little. At our levels of cultivation, every increment in level may require years of cultivation. After cultivating for a long time, you will realize that if you stay stagnant, people from the younger generations will overtake you,” the Millet Emperor said.

Li Changsheng felt that deeply. Even though Ye Futian had never experienced it himself, he understood it. It was just that he had always been the one overtaking others, and so, although he could understand, he could not empathize very well.

“However, there is no need to force it at the expense of your psyche. A stable foundation of the Great Path trumps everything. To prodigies like you, the most important thing is the destination of your Great Path,” continued the Millet Emperor.

Zong Chan and Ye Futian both nodded their heads.

“I am planning to go out at the end of the year. The two of you will come with me,” said the Millet Emperor.

“Teacher, where are we going?” Zong Chan asked. For the Millet Emperor to travel there himself, the destination should be a very unusual place.

“Changsheng, why don’t you tell him,” the Millet Emperor looked at Li Changsheng.

“Yes, teacher,” Li Changsheng nodded his head, and smiled at Zong Chan and Ye Futian, and said, “My two juniors, you are in luck. This journey is exceptionally meaningful to you. Perhaps in the future, you might experience it as well.”

Zong Chan let out an expression of surprise. Li Changsheng was also so serious. Just where exactly were they going?

“Not long ago, the Turtle Deity Island sent news that Emperor Xi was going to experience three tribulations,” Li Changsheng said. “This news had already spread to all the islands on the Divine Ocean. The news says that Emperor Xi does not mind people watching.”

“Tribulation of G.o.ds.” Zong Chan’s eyes showed a tinge of shock. Emperor Xi was a legendary figure in the Donghua Domain. He had a perfect Great Path, and his cultivation was at the pinnacle of the Renhuang level. He already stood at the top of the Donghua Domain.

Now, was he going to experience the three tribulations?

The three tribulations were the Tribulations of G.o.ds. Since the collapse of the Heavenly Path, a perfect Great Path was no longer tolerated by the order of the current world. If anyone wanted to step onto the Heavenly Path, they had to survive three tribulations.

In the entire Divine Prefecture, there were very few people of such caliber.

Once Emperor Xi managed to survive the first tribulation, he would likely become the most powerful existence in the entire Donghua Domain.

When Li Changsheng said that they might also experience it in the future, he meant that if they continued to preserve the perfection of their Great Paths when they stepped onto the pinnacle of the Renhuang level, they would have to survive three tribulations in order to step into the Heavenly Path.

Ye Futian had understood cultivation to far great extent now, and naturally also knew of the three tribulations. In his memory, anyone who survived all three tribulations was a legendary figure of the Divine Prefecture. Anyone who survived three tribulations was a living G.o.d.

Thus, apart from these living G.o.ds, in this world, there were only those who have survived the first and second tribulation. One could imagine just what sort of existence they were.

It was no wonder that even someone like Zong Chan was moved by this.

“It seems like the Turtle Deity Island was going to shock the Donghua Domain,” Zongchan muttered softly.

“Definitely. An event as grand as this rarely happens even in a thousand years. I wonder how many of the top pract.i.tioners would attend this event. This might be an event that occurs once every millennium in the entire Donghua Domain. Those who stand at the pinnacle of the cultivation world will definitely go witness his tribulation,” Li Changsheng smiled and said. Who would miss anyone overcoming three tribulations?

Even the Domain Chief would attend this event.

“Who is this Emperor Xi?” Ye Futian asked curiously. Since when did the Donghua Domain have such a powerful figure?

“Emperor Xi had cultivated for years and had already stepped into the pinnacle of the Renhuang level a long time ago. He had been cultivating on the Turtle Deity Island in the Divine Ocean Continent. The reason why this continent is named the Divine Ocean Continent is that apart from the land surrounding the continent tile, the s.p.a.ce surrounding the continent tiles is almost all sea. There are countless islands in the Divine Ocean, and the Turtle Deity Island is the most ancient among them. According to what I know, even before I was born, Emperor Xi was already Emperor Xi now, the pinnacle of Renhuangs, and had already been cultivating on the Turtle Deity Island,” Li Changsheng said. He himself had cultivated for numerous years, so one could imagine just how long Emperor Xi had been famous.

Ye Futian nodded. It seemed like Emperor Xi was a top virtuoso who had been cultivating for a long time.

Now, he was finally going to experience three tribulations.

“Is the tribulation this time going to be dangerous?” Ye Futian asked.

“Mmm, when a pract.i.tioner steps into the Saint Plane, he will have to overcome the Tribulation of Saints; he will abandon his human body and soul and enter the Saint Plane as a superhuman being. As for the three tribulations, the pract.i.tioner will be leaving his saint body and soul in preparation for stepping into the G.o.d Level. The three tribulations are extremely dangerous; they are far more lethal than the Tribulations of Saints. He could be vanquished by the order of the Great Path if he were just a little careless,” Li Changsheng said.

Ye Futian was a little shocked. He did not expect that stepping into the G.o.d Level would involve great danger. No wonder there were so few people in the entire world who were at the G.o.d Level.

The collapse of the Heavenly Path had created a barrier to all pract.i.tioners trying to enter the Path.

“I initially intended for you to cultivate in the w.a.n.gshen Watchtower for some time; however, witnessing Emperor Xi overcoming tribulations is also a very rare opportunity; you will get to witness this only once every millennium, so I hope you won’t miss it and come along,” said the Millet Emperor.

“Understood.” Ye Futian nodded. He would certainly not want to miss an opportunity like this.

Like what the Millet Emperor said, opportunities like these came only once every thousand years.

Furthermore, he would also get to see the virtuosos from various places in the Donghua Domain. This time, there might be many powerful figures gathering at the Turtle Deity Island to witness the tribulation.

“This time, we might also meet people from the Manor of the Domain Chief. If we encounter them, we can try to make an acquaintance with them and prepare you for joining them in the future,” the Millet Emperor said again. He was already helping Ye Futian plan for his future.

Ye Futian nodded lightly. Was he going to join the Manor of the Domain Chief?

If he did join the Manor of the Donghua Domain Chief, he would face significantly less danger in the future!
