355: Chapter 156: Debts of Sin Must Be Repaid_2 355: Chapter 156: Debts of Sin Must Be Repaid_2 Now, he was solely relying on his own power to overcome the Wind Fire Tribulation, even though he had already enlightened himself, even though he had lived for nearly three thousand years, and even though his accumulations were already sufficient.
Even Cao Zhen’s pep talk had invigorated him as if he had been injected with a dose of adrenaline.
But with only his own strength, he still gradually fell into danger.
Cao Zhen watched from a distance, the seemingly overwhelmed Jue Ying, who could only be spurred on by words.
“Are you resigning yourself to fate?”
“You’re only a step away from achieving the Earth Immortal Realm.
If you die now, all your efforts will have been in vain.”
“Think about your sect.
If you were to die like this, would the Grand Preceptor hold your sect accountable in the future?”
“What would your Dao Companions from the Dharma Apex Sect think?
Would they believe you committed suicide to avoid punishment?”
“You’ve yet to admit your wrongs, to take responsibility for your actions…”
“What are you afraid of?
It’s just the Wind Fire Tribulation.
What are you afraid of?
Why are you always dodging?
Fight them head-on.
You’re alive, and this Wind Fire Tribulation is merely an inanimate object…”
Amidst Cao Zhen’s shouting, Jue Ying’s blood surged continuously within him.
Suddenly, he let out a long howl to the sky.
Instead of defending against the Wind Fire, his body suddenly accelerated in all directions.
In an instant, his figure appeared everywhere, creating afterimages that gathered continuously, as if filling the entire space and completely engulfing the Wind Fire Tribulation.
He was no longer on the defensive, but actively attacking the Wind Fire Tribulation, and what was more terrifying was that his aura kept soaring.
It seemed that he truly understood what the Wind Fire Tribulation was, what eternal life meant!
The Way of Heaven and Earth has always been such, the strong dominate the weak.
As Jue Ying grew stronger and stronger, the Qi of the Wind Fire between Heaven and Earth weakened more and more, until it disappeared completely.
Jue Ying stood on a swath of land that had been scorched, looking exceedingly disheveled.
Despite the black burn marks all over his body and various wounds, his presence emitted an unprecedented frightening aura.
Earth Immortal!
He had finally taken the last step and achieved the Earth Immortal Realm!
Lan Pili, from a distance, watched Jue Ying who had overcome the Wind Fire Tribulation.
Turning back, his face full of astonishment, he looked at Cao Zhen as if he was seeing him for the first time, his eyes filled with wonder.
“Peak Master Cao, you actually have such a skill.
Just the persuasiveness of your words, even standing aside, I felt my blood boil.
Not to mention Jue Ying who just faced the Wind Fire Tribulation.
From persuading him at the beginning to enlightening him, you made him take responsibility, and when he faced difficulties, you still urged him to be responsible.
This truly struck a chord in his heart.
Furthermore, previously when a Corpse General in the coffin tried to beguile him, it was you who countered and left it speechless.
Now, you’ve even helped him to break through and achieve the Earth Immortal Realm…
I might finally understand why the disciples from Four Treasures Peak are all so strong.
Your disciples are inspired by you every day, it would be difficult for them not to be strong!”
Cao Zhen listened to Lan Pili’s exclamations, himself baffled.
Wasn’t he aware of his own articulation?
What kind of eloquence could a programmer have?
His eloquence definitely wasn’t that great.
No, wait, Old Ma!
Suddenly, he came to a realization; he was connected to Old Ma, the MAX of beguilement.
Unwittingly, he had used MAX’s beguilement skills to convince Jue Ying, who had been wavering, to stop dealing with the Corpse Generals and instead side with him, taking the initiative to go to the capital to take responsibility.
Moreover, Jue Ying’s enlightenment, leading to his breakthrough and achievement of the Earth Immortal Realm, was also influenced by the beguilement.
While a large part of this was due to Jue Ying’s own convictions, if the beguilement wasn’t strong enough, Jue Ying couldn’t have been enlightened on the spot.
No wonder people say the strongest Escape Technique is the ‘Mouth Escape’; there is indeed some truth to it.
It seems that when I have time, I should practice my ‘Mouth Escape’ technique.
After his breakthrough, Jue Ying quickly took out a new set of clothes from his Qiankun Bag.
After changing, he flew over to Cao Zhen and Lan Pili.
Lifting his hand in a respectful bow towards Cao Zhen, he said, “Thank you, Peak Master Cao, for your enlightenment.”
Earth Immortal, he could hardly believe that he had achieved the Earth Immortal Realm in such a manner.
If not for Peak Master Cao’s harsh scolding that made him come to his senses, he wasn’t sure when he would have been able to become an Earth Immortal.
Now, as an Earth Immortal, he even felt that if he had continued down the wrong path, if he had remained guilty, and if he had continued to fear death, even if he had actually cooperated with the Corpse General in the coffin and had been helped by it, he might not have been able to truly achieve the Earth Immortal Realm.
Because his heart, was too chaotic!
It was Peak Master Cao who helped him rediscover his original intent, allowing him to break through in one go.
It was also Peak Master Cao who, amidst danger after danger, continued to enlighten him, enabling him to overcome the Wind Fire Tribulation!
Although he was now an Earth Immortal, he still felt grateful towards Cao Zhen, unable to feel superior.
Cao Zhen had not faced an Earth Immortal for the first time.
Previously, individuals like Ai Yunqi and Gu Chengyu were of the Earth Immortal Realm, but they had already achieved it long ago and could restrain their auras.
But Jue Ying had just broken through, and with his aura emanating outwards, Cao Zhen finally felt the power of the Earth Immortal Realm’s aura.
He even had a feeling that the Jue Ying standing before him seemed to be a completely different person.
