I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 1425: Chapter 1426: A Master!

“Immortal Nangong must be joking. This flame is still in its infancy, and its true power, as well as whether its devouring capability has an upper limit, requires further verification.”

“Though, I heard Immortal Nangong has come this time for tribulation crossing, aiming to break through the shackles of the Transcendent Third Layer and ascend to become an Immortal Platform Cultivator—an achievement that truly inspires envy.”

Bai Hua said with a sly smile. The women from the Heavenly God Academy were not to be trifled with; thinking they could manipulate the narrative to point the finger at him over the fire inheritance was laughable. Both sides held secrets over each other—nobody was foolish enough to act rashly.

The Baihe Sect had yet to fully understand the secret of the black flame—how could it possibly be made public?

“Brother Bai is well-informed indeed. Menglu has indeed come for tribulation crossing. The tribulation grounds ranked in the Heavenly God Academy are all full, and with the opening of the Forty-Ninth Battlefield imminent, naturally, she wouldn’t want to waste time waiting and miss out on a prime opportunity. Minor Tribulation Peak in Cangtian City, which has been bathed in Emperor’s Blood and witnessed the Era of the Emperor’s Fall, is the perfect location for tribulation crossing. This matter has already been discussed with the City Lord, and three days from now, fellow cultivators may observe the spectacle.”

Nangong Menglu hid her smile behind her hand and spoke lightly. Tribulation crossing is no trivial matter—not every place is suitable. Two main factors must be considered: one, the destruction caused by the Heavenly Tribulation to the surrounding environment; if it inadvertently harms others or damages someone else’s property or grounds, then grudges are bound to form. Second, a sacred tribulation crossing ground can suppress the effects of the Heavenly Tribulation, making it easier for cultivators to overcome the ordeal.

Minor Tribulation Peak within Cangtian City is precisely such a location.
