Chapter 454: Everyone Knows Empyreal Qi Synthesis: Trinity of Pristine States Only Produces Two Alter Ego

Luo Wusheng was shocked.

"So you really did leave a proper message!"

He had thought the white-haired loli was going to start from his scalp and go all the way to his tail.

"Be serious." Yue Xuanji seemed to have long predicted what reaction Luo Wusheng would have. After an adorable eye-roll, she spoke.

Luo Wusheng: "..."

From beginning to end, wasn’t the least serious one actually the girl sitting in front of him?

Complaining wildly in his heart, Luo Wusheng still quickly gathered his thoughts.

What Yue Xuanji brought up was not beyond his expectations.

In the end, the fact that he could realize he had such a trump card—one exactly like what she described—was probably all part of the planning of this group of "behind-the-scenes allies."

The idea of summoning a heavenly tribulation was inspired by the book "Shocking! Tragedies Among Cultivators May Be Closer Than You Think!", which had been sent to him via Bai Xiaoyao’s Holy Maiden Token by their master.

In truth, most of the book was filled with bizarre causes of death experienced by extremely unlucky cultivators, to the point Luo Wusheng once couldn’t bear to keep reading.

But when he discovered an entry describing a cultivator whose advancement had triggered a heavenly tribulation—yet because he accidentally got mixed up with the hair of a Tribulation Transcendence realm cultivator—the tribulation’s power skyrocketed to an Immortal Tribulation level... Luo Wusheng had a bold idea.

The headless Buddha statue definitely possessed the cultivation to draw heavenly tribulation. And after Luo Wusheng released the imprint on his brow, the golden blood used to construct that seal did not disappear.

In other words, if he wanted, he could release this drop of blood during his advancement to the Nascent Soul realm to instantly raise the heavenly tribulation to the level of Immortal Tribulation.

There was no need to say how terrifying the power of an Immortal Tribulation was.

Countless Tribulation Transcendence realm cultivators hid from the world, not daring to even show their heads, all because they feared this one thing.

If used well, this trump card’s effectiveness would be absolutely top-tier.

’That headless Buddha probably didn’t leave me that droplet of golden blood without such a thought... but who knows what he truly intended.’

That senior had helped him greatly, but there was no free lunch in this world.

He would definitely have to repay all of it someday.

Setting that aside for now, Luo Wusheng also understood that this trump card came with several issues he needed to resolve.

First, heavenly tribulations were extremely targeted.

Even after being elevated to the legendary Immortal Tribulation, the primary target remained the cultivator undergoing tribulation.

Even if he dragged an enemy into the tribulation, the Immortal Tribulation’s main target would still be him.

And Luo Wusheng knew clearly that even peak quasi-immortal experts couldn’t withstand Immortal Tribulation.

His small body definitely couldn’t even survive a single strike.

As for how much destruction a single Immortal Tribulation strike could cause, or what level of enemy he could take down with him in a mutual-destruction scenario... honestly, Luo Wusheng wasn’t sure.

But he understood one thing:

Against someone at the Netherking’s level, it was unrealistic to hope that just the aftershock of a heavenly tribulation could kill them.

And there was another major problem.

The will of heaven was merciless.

Cultivators who died under tribulation were almost always annihilated, body and soul.

Once one died body-and-soul, even if one possessed a resurrection Artifact, the probability of revival was extremely low—so low it was almost negligible.

’Of course, if I can revive even after that, then the Buddhist mark left in my origin would likely be completely erased too... and I wouldn’t need to worry about that completely clue-less step anymore...’

Luo Wusheng found bitter amusement in it.

If possible, he didn’t want to leave things up to luck.

So he looked at the white-haired loli in front of him.

The "not enough" and "too risky" she mentioned earlier probably referred to all of the above.

And since she said such things, the Heavenly Divination Tower Master must also have a solution.

"Yep, I do have a way to handle it~"

A subtle, inscrutable smile appeared on Yue Xuanji’s little face.

"Next, you’ll need to do a few things."

For some reason, seeing that smile made a bad feeling surge in Luo Wusheng’s heart.

’Speaking of solutions... it should be that one, right?’

Seizing an immortal soul.

That was what the little fox had mentioned earlier—right before she showed him this memory projection.

"Ah, it’s not about seizing an immortal soul, okay? That matter is already prepared. A tiny little Golden Core like you doesn’t need to worry about it."

"?"

It’s not? Then what else could it be?

Luo Wusheng was stunned.

He saw Yue Xuanji narrow her eyes and suddenly say:

"Mm... your brow center is really dark right now, you know?"

The abrupt change of topic left Luo Wusheng momentarily confused.

He touched the space between his eyebrows, then showed a strange expression.

Right now, under the effect of the Buddhist Golden Body, his entire body—clothes included—was glowing gold.

How was she supposed to tell whether his brow center was "dark"?

And besides, this white-haired loli was only a projected image, right? How could she even see his current brow?

"I am, after all, the Heavenly Divination Tower Master—the pinnacle of this era’s Art of Divination Master. How do you know I can’t see the future you, whose brow is darkened?"

Yue Xuanji shot him a sideways glance, tracing circles on the floor with her little foot.

"And this isn’t just ordinary darkened brows..."

"Within the baleful aura, a love-flower is hidden. This is the most vicious, most dangerous kind of womanly disaster."

Luo Wusheng’s expression froze.

...

In the pale-gold space, the recently-awakened Kirin floated limply, carrying in her hand a certain Demon Sect Holy Saint who seemed to have lost consciousness.

Her face was full of despair.

Hopeless.

Just moments ago, she had experienced a horrifying nightmare.

In the dream, she had shown all sorts of personas before a certain someone—sometimes a worldly emperor, sometimes a demure courtesan, sometimes an ordinary commoner actress...

Those she could barely accept.

But calling him daddy—what the hell was that!?

In the end, she received one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.

The good news: the nightmare finally ended.

The bad news: everything in the dream... had actually happened.

At that moment, she wanted to die.

What suffocated her even more was this—

Perhaps because she had been trying to contact her own Imperial Alter Ego and Daoist Alter Ego for so long, the moment she woke up, she instinctively triggered a memory synchronization.

And this time, she didn’t fail.

’...Actually, this might be for the best. Sooner or later, I’d have to let the Imperial and Daoist Alter Egos know anyway.’

Maybe she could even get some emotional support from the two, and then, with the combined wisdom of all three Alter Ego, figure out what she should do now.

That was how the Kirin consoled herself.

Then she received the synchronization responses from the other two Alter Ego.

And discovered—

She had been expelled from the "I" clan.

Daoist Alter Ego:

Mortal Alter Ego? Since when did I condense a Mortal Alter Ego? Everyone knows Empyreal Qi Synthesis: Trinity of Pristine States only produces two Alter Ego.

Imperial Alter Ego:

The above "I" makes an excellent point. I have never condensed such a shameful Alter Ego.

Kirin: "..."
