I am the best when it comes to taking divergent paths. With just a flip of my hand, I shall take the path less commonly travelled. I search far and wide, only to find myself unbeatable and unrivaled. So now I ask, who else can match my awesomeness? Acting tough is second nature to me and I am a lone wolf. The road is long and winding but I shan’t feel lonely as long as I am able to act tough! Life and death bore me and I do whatever I deem fit. “Young man, way back when I started acting tough, you were still learning how to put on your underpants!” Xu Que thus decided to take the path of acting tough. He decided to act tough every single god-damned day. If he wasn’t acting tough, he was scheming for the best way to act tough!
At time same time, on one of the roads deep within the mountains...
Xu Que penetrated into a forest within the mountainous region and pressed on forward towards the Imperial City. If he continued to rush on without any rest, he could reach the Imperial City in five to six days.
However, before that, Xu Que still had a Heavenly Tribulation to clear. Hence, when he reached deeper into the mountainous forests, his priority was to find a quiet place to stop for a rest.
According to the original Memory Message within his body, the 49 Heavenly Tribulation was not a very tough process for Golden Core Cultivators. He only needed to prepare by equipping himself with some defensive weapons and various elixirs. All he had to do was to defend himself against the Four-Lightning Attack in the trial and draw the lightning energy towards his Qi region. He could then split the Golden Core open and emerge successful from the trial.
