Lady Shao's Heavenly Tribulation had long since alarmed Huangpo Village.

Now in Huangpo Village, experts were as numerous as clouds. Besides the Dragon Traveling Wanderer, Mu Daozi, and Pei Sanren, there were also Scholar Zhu, Jueyangzi, Chen Yindou, Du Yiran, and others. All were alarmed and came to observe Lady Shao's tribulation crossing.

——Of course, Chen Tang could also be considered an expert.

"Everyone's cultivation is about the same, how come Lady Shao is crossing a tribulation?" Dragon Traveling Wanderer murmured.

Mu Daozi and Pei Sanren were also utterly confused.

They were the strongest among the Independents, with similar talents and differing strengths. The meeting gifts from Lady Houtu were solutions to their cultivation puzzles, showing no favoritism.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, Lady Shao crossed her tribulation, leaving them behind, making it hard for them to accept.

Chen Yindou closely observed the situation of Lady Shao's tribulation crossing, feeling a slight stir in his heart, he said: "I understand now, Lady Shao severed her Divine Embryo, bringing herself back under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao, hence the tribulation crossing. A brilliant idea, truly brilliant!"

These past days, he refined the thread of Reincarnation Qi gifted by Lady Houtu, eliminating Corpse Qi and greatly advancing his cultivation.

"Severing the Divine Embryo allows for tribulation crossing?"

Upon hearing this, Du Yiran's eyes lit up, and he immediately stabbed his Divine Embryo to death with a spear.

Everyone turned to him in unison. Chen Yindou asked concernedly: "Yiran, did you sense the calamity?"

Du Yiran frowned slightly, shook his head, and said: "I did not. Yindou, can my Divine Embryo be restored?"

"No." Chen Yindou shook his head.

Du Yiran let out a muffled grunt, thinking: "Luckily, Lady gifted me a thread of Qi of Qiankun, compensating for my deficiency in Daoist Practice. Even if my Divine Embryo is severed, my cultivation power is not weaker than before."

"You probably haven't reached Lady Shao's level of cultivation."

Chen Yindou speculated, "For someone like Lady Shao, severing the Divine Embryo allows sensing the calamity."

He looked towards Dragon Traveling Wanderer and the others.

Mu Daozi and Pei Sanren hesitated somewhat.

They owed Chen Yindou a semi-mentorship, but also knew that Chen Yindou often had unreliable ideas.

Dragon Traveling Wanderer laughed: "Let me try!"

He raised the Divine Shrine, mobilized his Divine Embryo, and slashed it with a sword.

Zhong Wuwang did not turn back to look at Lady Shao's tribulation crossing, driving straight towards Despair Slope.

His heart was in chaos: "Without severing the Divine Embryo, how to become immortal? Are the only three paths for becoming immortal the ones Chen Shi mentioned? No, no, there's a fourth path."

"The fourth path is to return to Despair Slope and achieve Harmonization and Immortality in the True God Dojo. If that's the case, how am I different from other Heavenly Dao immortals? How am I different from my junior brothers and sisters on Despair Slope?"

"Are there only these four paths?"

...

He pondered bitterly, but even upon returning to Despair Slope, he could not find a solution.

Within Despair Slope, Heavenly Dao immortals had already sensed something unusual with the Heavenly Dao, stood on the altar, and were examining copper mirrors to search for who was undergoing the tribulation.

When Fairy Qiu Ning saw Zhong Wuwang, she was surprised and said: "Wuwang, you're back? I thought the tribulation crosser was you!"

"Found them!"

The voice of Kou Immortal came through, "The one crossing the tribulation is a woman!"

Fairy Qiu Ning rushed over, not bothering to inquire with Zhong Wuwang, and asked: "Do we know the woman's background? Is there any record of her among the Heaven Listeners?"

"We need to check with Wenda Academy! Wait a moment, someone else is crossing a tribulation!" Kou Immortal exclaimed in shock.

Fairy Qiu Ning was startled and quickly joined him, asking: "Who is it this time? Where is the tribulation crossing taking place?"

"Still checking!"

Kou Immortal broke into a cold sweat, "In the True King Era, although there were cultivators crossing tribulations, few did so simultaneously... oh no, another person is crossing! Not just one, but two! Fellow Daoist Gong, Mr. Xi, keep helping!"

Other Heavenly Dao immortals rushed in, hastily activating copper mirrors to search for the whereabouts of those three undergoing tribulation.

During the True King Era, Despair Slope handled many tribulation crossing cases, often resulting in disasters caused by evil transformations, spanning a thousand miles, causing numerous casualties. If the mortal world couldn't handle it, Despair Slope would mobilize True God's power to annihilate the disaster.

But during the True King Era, there were no instances of four simultaneous tribulation crossings!

The Heavenly Dao immortals were all busy, ignoring Zhong Wuwang. Zhong Wuwang wandered alone in the Immortal Realm of Despair Slope, unconsciously arriving at the True God Dojo. The True God Dojo is where Heavenly Dao immortals undergo harmonization, and it's the retreat place for the Heavenly Venerate. Except for special circumstances, entry is strictly forbidden.

However, Zhong Wuwang's status was special; the immortals guarding the dojo did not stop him, allowing him to enter.

As Zhong Wuwang walked in the dojo, dazedly looking around the Immortal Realm, he was lost in thought.

There was no trace of Evil Qi here, and Heaven and Earth Righteous Qi was exceedingly pure, so one could undergo harmonization here without worrying about any evil transformations.

Despair Slope had a total of eighteen Heavenly Dao immortals, whose Void Great Realms merged with the True God Dojo, like eighteen different worlds.

The eighteen immortals' Harmonization Lands just happened to fill the True God Dojo.

If no Heavenly Dao immortals died, even if he wanted to harmonize, there would be no place to do so.

Zhong Wuwang wandered lost for a long time, looked around for a long time, and racked his brains, unable to think of a fifth path, feeling immense pain in his heart: "Am I just an ordinary person? Have I only relied on the Innate Dao Embryo to become the senior brother of Despair Slope? Without the Innate Dao Embryo, am I nothing?"

He laughed wildly, falling into madness, laughed for a long time, and then suddenly fell to the ground, crying bitterly.

For the first time, he realized his mediocrity.

"Senior brother? What kind of bullshit senior brother? I'm just the son of a country gambler!"
