"Are you Ji Wudao? The Ji Clanâs Heavenâs Pride from decades ago?!"
The old mentor, upon hearing the name Ji Wudao, initially felt it somewhat familiar but not significant.
However, he quickly realized.
This name is not simple!
Isnât this the Heavenâs Pride who defected from the Ji Imperial Clan decades ago?
Then he thought, if this Ji Wudao in front of him is indeed that Ji Wudao, then the mansion masterâs treatment of him as vice manor master isnât impossible!
So, he couldnât help exclaiming in surprise.
"Itâs me!"
Ji Wudao nodded slightly, his expression calm, without any waves, he said.
"Itâs really you, senior! That makes sense then!"
The old mentor, seeing Ji Wudao acknowledge his identity, immediately became respectful, his tone turning very courteous.
The scene looked somewhat ridiculous.
After all, this old mentor had a head full of white hair and looked very old, yet he was shouting âseniorâ to a very sturdy middle-aged man.
Watching this made Mu Jinyuâs expression appear somewhat weird.
However, considering Ji Wudao looked like an old man not long ago, it seemed not that strange anymore.
"So then, senior, your identity card indeed doesnât need to use academic credits?" Mu Jinyu subsequently brought up the question that concerned him.
If Ji Wudao could really use it for free, then he wouldnât insist on paying him one thousand credits.
Just consider it as a treat from him.
"Yes, this type of identity card can indeed use various advanced training rooms here for free!"
The old mentorâs expression became somewhat excited, repeatedly introducing it to Mu Jinyu.
"Well, do you believe it now?" Ji Wudao rarely showed a smile on his face.
He originally thought this identity plaque was useless, but now it seemed to have some use.
"If you ever run out of credits and want to visit a training room, feel free to find me." Ji Wudao said with a smile.
"Okay." Mu Jinyu nodded without refusing.
However, he thought to himself that the advanced training rooms he might need should be gone, and he shouldnât trouble Ji Wudao in the future.
"Alright, stop wasting time, hurry up and prepare, and proceed to transcend the heavenly tribulation. The Life and Death Realmâs tribulation isnât simple; without preparation, you will suffer."
Ji Wudao then remembered the main matter and urged Mu Jinyu.
"Alright."
Mu Jinyu agreed, and without wasting time, bid farewell to the two and headed towards Dongyue Mansionâs exit!
"Hey, hey, hey, where are you planning to go?"
Seeing Mu Jinyu heading in the wrong direction, Ji Wudao hurriedly stopped him.
"Arenât I going out to transcend the tribulation? Iâm heading out of Dongyue Mansion now..."
Mu Jinyu stopped and replied with some confusion.
"Not that way, thereâs a city outside that path. You want those people outside to accompany you in transcending the tribulation?"
Ji Wudao said with a bit of impatience.
"Follow me this way!"
With that said, he turned and headed in the other direction!
"Is there another way?"
Mu Jinyu muttered softly, then followed Ji Wudao, walking towards the remote wilderness at the outermost edge of Dongyue Mansion!
Soon, they arrived in a clearing in the forest.
In the center of the clearing, there was a similar teleportation array platform.
Ji Wudao explained to Mu Jinyu: "Dongyue Mansion actually has two exits, one is the one everyone often goes out through, located in Donghua City."
"The other is here, leading out to a barren land in Donghua Province!"
"Typically, everyone uses the teleportation platform within Donghua City, but sometimes circumstances differ, and this path is taken to prevent harming the innocent!"
As Ji Wudao spoke, he looked at Mu Jinyu and said, "Like you now!"
"Oh." Mu Jinyu nodded lightly.
He also agreed it made sense.
If there werenât two exits from Dongyue Mansion, heâd directly use the teleportation platform in Donghua City, fear that as he exited, the heavenly tribulation would descend, causing a group of people to suffer!
Though he could quickly leave using Void Shift.
But thatâs not reliable. If an accident occurred, it would be troublesome.
Also, urgently leaving via Void Shift would put him in a bad state facing the arrival of the heavenly tribulation, leading to disadvantage!
Appearing directly in the barren land removes this concern.
He can stand in place and face the descent of the heavenly tribulation in the best condition!
"Letâs go!"
Ji Wudao saw Mu Jinyu understood, nodded lightly, and then used his golden identity plaque to swipe for Mu Jinyu on the teleportation array platform.
Immediately, the teleportation arrayâs light flowed and swiftly activated.
"Get on!"
Ji Wudao stepped onto the formation map first, urging Mu Jinyu.
"Alright."
Mu Jinyu hesitated for a moment, deciding to take another free ride on Ji Wudaoâs teleportation array!
Following this, Mu Jinyu leaped onto the teleportation array platform!
Once Mu Jinyu positioned himself, Ji Wudao immediately activated the prepared teleportation array, causing their figures to quickly disappear in a flash of brilliant light from the platform.
"Buzz buzz!!"
Donghua Province.
An uninhabited, desolate land.
After a blinding flash of light.
Mu Jinyu and Ji Wudaoâs figures appeared in mid-air!
"Boom!!!"
As soon as Mu Jinyu manifested, a fierce rumbling echoed in the void.
Shortly thereafter.
A dense and oppressive cloud swirl quickly formed in the void.
"Iâll make my exit; prepare yourself!"
Ji Wudao didnât dare remain beside Mu Jinyu.
Staying would make the heavenly tribulation mistake them as attempting a joint transcendence, a challenge to the will of heaven and earth!
The subsequently appearing tribulation would combine, involving both Mu Jinyuâs Life and Death Realm tribulation and his Creation Realm tribulation!
The combined power is terrifying, and Ji Wudao wasnât sure he could withstand it, so he naturally had to avoid it to prevent inadvertently harming Mu Jinyu!
"Hmm!"
Mu Jinyu watched Ji Wudao quickly depart, going tens of miles away, he nodded slightly, then lifted his gaze to the sky where the heavenly tribulation was rapidly swirling, took a deep breath, tightened his grip on the Riot-Quelling Sword in his right hand, and immediately the sword was firmly in his hold.
"Swish!!"
Following this, the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth appeared, swirling around Mu Jinyu, protecting his safety.
Though he knew the Life and Death Realmâs heavenly tribulation would be daunting, Mu Jinyu felt little concern.
After all, his combat power had reached the brink of the Creation Realm.
How could such a trivial Life and Death Realm heavenly tribulation possibly affect him?
"Boom!!!"
As soon as Mu Jinyu took out the two magical artifacts, a thundering crash burst from the sky. Then countless strands of purple-black lightning descended, intertwining to form a colossal lightning beam, dozens of meters thick, crashing towards Mu Jinyu!
While Mu Jinyu stood within it, his figure seemed insignificant, like an ant beneath humanityâs foot, about to be crushed to death!
