117: Bai He is unaffected, the whereabouts of Zhongzhou's son of destiny!
Su Ming felt cold sweat break out on his back when he saw this in the simulator.
He hadn't expected the unknown mastermind behind the Heavenly Tribulation to descend so early.
However, from Su Ming's perspective, it seemed more like a coincidence.
In previous simulated conversations, Su Ming learned from Zhuge Qing that no one in the Central Province had undergone Undergoing Tribulation for a hundred years.
And this Weird Insect at the Three Tribulation Realm from the Zixiao Sect had also waited a thousand years in Xuan Province to obtain the zi xiao immortal spirit herb, finally managing to succeed in Undergoing Tribulation and breaking through the middle three tribulations.
From these clues, Su Ming could infer that the Great Tribulation of the World's hand appeared prematurely entirely because of the Black-Robed Man's Undergoing Tribulation.
Su Ming felt it was very likely that the Lightning Tribulation triggered some unknown force, weakening the barrier of the Canglan Realm and allowing the mastermind behind the scenes to take advantage of the situation.
Coming to this conclusion wasn't something he had made up out of thin air.
Su Ming based this on the history of the Canglan Realm, where such a Great Tribulation of the World had never occurred, as well as the events that happened after the Undergoing Tribulation.
These signs indicated that a huge transformation had taken place in the Immortal Realm, and it had happened within the last hundred years.
Even the Guichong Clan had not noticed this series of events.
Furthermore, what terrified Su Ming even more was that after the black hole disappeared, the memories of everyone who had seen this scene regarding the black hole were completely erased.
Even a Mahayana powerhouse like Zhuge Qing was no exception.
Fortunately, Su Ming possessed the simulator; although the version of him in the simulation had completely lost this memory, the him in reality retained it.
Su Ming's gaze continued to look into the simulator.
[ "What exactly just happened? Why can't I remember?" ]
[ Zhuge Qing beside you glanced at you with a solemn expression, then looked back at the location of the tribulation clouds. ]
[ "The person from the Purple Firmament Holy Land... failed their Undergoing Tribulation?" ]
[ Hearing this, you felt that something was wrong. ]
[ "That can't be right, Senior. I recall that he seemed to have succeeded in his Undergoing Tribulation?" ]
[ Zhuge Qing's brows furrowed even tighter at this moment. ]
[ In an instant, Zhuge Qing's face turned somewhat pale, and sweat beads covered his forehead. ]
[ "I seem to have lost a segment of memory. I also feel as if that Black-Robed Man succeeded in his Undergoing Tribulation, but my memory tells me he died under the Lightning Tribulation." ]
[ Upon hearing Zhuge Qing's words, you instantly sensed the anomaly. ]
[ After the Lightning Tribulation dissipated, you always felt something was off, but you couldn't put your finger on it. ]
[ Only after hearing Zhuge Qing's words just now did you realize that your situation was exactly the same as his. ]
[ Deep in your memory, something is telling you that the Black-Robed Man succeeded in his Undergoing Tribulation, yet your current memory tells you that he failed his Undergoing Tribulation and perished. ]
[ The next second, you saw Zhuge Qing frowning, his hands calculating something. ]
[ Seeing this scene, you widened your eyes and slapped his hands to interrupt Zhuge Qing's divination. ]
[ "Are you crazy?" ]
[ "What kind of terrifying existence is capable of erasing our memories without us even knowing?" ]
[ "And you actually dare to divine Him?" ]
[ You still hadn't forgotten that in a previous simulation, Zhuge Qing divined the truth after the Great Tribulation of the World, only to be targeted by an unknown, terrifying entity. ]
[ In the end, his true self was tracked across time and space, and even you yourself did not escape unscathed. ]
[ Moreover, that method of death is something you still cannot forget to this day; even after escaping into your Incarnation, you didn't avoid the deadly tribulation. ]
[ Under your persuasion, you saw that Zhuge Qing still wouldn't give up. ]
[ "Zhuge Qing! Don't forget what our goal is. You cannot die right now; you haven't completed your objective yet!" ]
[ Hearing this, Zhuge Qing suddenly raised his head, and then a faint smile appeared on his face. ]
[ "You are right. Now that I have obtained the complete Heavenly Secret Art, I cannot die yet!" ]
[ After your strenuous persuasion, Zhuge Qing gave up on the divination. ]
[ Afterwards, you both turned and left the Zixiao Sect, heading towards the Central Province. ]
[ However, in a place you didn't know about, Bai He's gaze was fixed intently on the spot where the black hole had just disappeared. ]
[ Because of her Profound Ice Immortal Spirit Physique, she used the power of rules to resist that force just now and did not forget everything she had just seen. ]
"Bai He was actually able to resist that force?"
Su Ming hadn't expected Bai He's Physique to be so formidable; he felt he had still underestimated the power of rules.
However, Su Ming soon felt relieved.
He knew that although Bai He's Physique was Heaven-Defying, it also faced very serious backlash.
Seeing this, Su Ming suddenly began to look forward to what different decisions Bai He would make later.
"Interesting..."
In the simulation...
[ Half a year later! ]
[ You and Zhuge Qing set foot in the Central Province once again. ]
[ During these years of travel, you did not choose to use the Great Void Art to travel, but instead used this time to silently Cultivate the Heavenly Secret Art. ]
[ Shortly after arriving in the Central Province, you had already Cultivated the Heavenly Secret Art to the fifth layer Realm. ]
[ Seeing that you had broken through to the fifth layer of the Heavenly Secret Art, Zhuge Qing asked you to perform another divination to find the whereabouts of another Child of Destiny. ]
[ Seven days later! ]
[ You shook your head regretfully at Zhuge Qing. ]
[ "It's useless!" ]
[ "The result of this divination is still the Central Province and Xuan Province." ]
[ You both knew the situation in Xuan Province; Bai He had already promised you that Su Wanqing would not continue to Cultivate. ]
[ And the four vast domains of the Central Province were boundless; trying to find the Child of Destiny here was like looking for a needle in a haystack. ]
[ Zhuge Qing told you that in the Western Domain he had visited before, ninety percent of the small Secret Realms had been polluted and could not be used. ]
[ And the other three domains also had Secret Realms polluted to varying degrees. ]
[ You couldn't help but furrow your brows upon hearing this news. ]
[ If it was as Zhuge Qing said, then the situation in the Central Province was imminent, and that Child of Destiny's Cultivation must not be low. ]
[ "Why don't we go to the Western Domain and take a look first?" ]
[ Zhuge Qing told you that the Secret Realms in the Western Domain were the most heavily polluted, so it was very likely that the person was still staying in the Western Domain. ]
[ Hearing Zhuge Qing say this, you had no choice but to follow in his footsteps. ]
[ The Central Province was still too unfamiliar to you; you knew very little about the situation of the Secret Realms here, and you might not even be able to find them. ]
[ The next day! ]
[ You followed in Zhuge Qing's footsteps, preparing to head to the Western Domain. ]
[ Three days later! ]
[ On your way to the Western Domain, you suddenly received news from your Incarnation. ]
[ Upon hearing this news, you were slightly stunned, and then looked at Zhuge Qing with a joyful expression. ]
[ "Senior! We don't need to go to the Western Domain anymore!" ]
[ Zhuge Qing stopped and looked at you in confusion. ]
[ "Why?" ]
[ "Because I already know where he is!" ]
