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!
In the next day, the news that Xu Que was going to go through another Heavenly Tribulation spread across the Imperial City.
When people heard that he had chosen the Imperial Tomb to be the site of the Heavenly Tribulation, they were shocked.
"My god! Is he insane?!"
"Throughout history, every Emperor of the Water Nation has been buried there, and the Dragon Veins are right beneath it. He is putting himself in a very dangerous situation."
"He is the General, he can just choose the Temple of Heaven, why on earth has he chosen the Imperial Tomb?"
"I have no idea. I got the news from someone I know in the palace."
"Someone heard that the Water Empress was persuading him to go to the Temple of Heaven instead, but he didn't listen."
"Really?!"
"Yes! He said that a strong man should not be afraid of anything and can never be called a strong man if he is afraid of the Heavenly Tribulation."
"Huh…"
