At this moment, deep in the mountains.
Xu Que walked deep into the forest and headed towards the direction of the Imperial City. According to his calculations, if he were to travel day and night, he would reach the Imperial City in five to six days.
But before that, Xu Que had to overcome the Heavenly Tribulations. Hence, after entering the forest, he found a quiet place to rest.
According to the original memories in this body, the 49 Heavenly Tribulations that a Golden Core Stage cultivator had to overcome were not difficult. As long as they prepared some defensive magical equipment and some healing pills, they would be able to withstand four lightning strikes. Then, they would be able to guide the power of the lightning into their Dantian and split their Golden Core.
However, Xu Que received a notification from the system. The Heavenly Tribulations that he was about to experience were difficult. It even suggested that he purchase a human skin mask and use the two Luck Points in the mask to increase his chances of overcoming the 49 Heavenly Tribulations.
This made Xu Que nervous. He had a premonition that his Heavenly Tribulations were going to be extremely terrifying!
He had asked the system about the success rate of overcoming the Heavenly Tribulations in his current state. However, the system wasn't able to give him an accurate answer. It only suggested that he purchase some equipment or tools.
Hence, Xu Que could only choose to enter the system store and check out the armor section.
He skipped over the One Star grade armor and weapons. The Two Star grade armor and weapons were relatively good. For example, the Dark Heavy Buster Sword that he was wearing was a Two Star grade weapon.
But at that time, Xu Que was relatively poor and didn't have much acting tough points. Hence, he could only purchase the Dark Heavy Buster Sword.
Although he didn't have much acting tough points now, he had accumulated 630 points. It was enough for him to purchase a decent Samsung armor!
Hence, when Xu Que entered the Samsung grade option, a huge list of armor and weapons appeared one by one.
[Flowing Light Purple Golden Armor]:
Crafted by a Master Blacksmith, Samsung grade. It has strong defensive capabilities and can defend against magic attacks. It is a treasure that many cultivators covet.

[Landon's Omen]:
It was a piece of equipment from League of Legends, Samsung grade. It was the legendary sacred object of the Demacia's Lightshield Family. It was lost in the first Rune War, and when it was later found, it was already damaged. However, it still had an extremely strong defensive ability, and it could make the wearer's Qi and blood more vigorous.
Armor + 60

[Spirit Visage]:
It was a piece of equipment from League of Legends, Samsung grade. It was an armor made by a high-ranking official of Demacia. It was known as the embodiment of justice and love. Later, it became the exclusive armor of Garen, the power of Demacia. It could make the wearer's vitality vigorous, enhance their magic defense ability, and have double the vitality recovery.
Magic Resistance + 55
Passive Ability: Allows wearer to recover 200% HP.
Price: 500 act tough points.

The dazzling array of armors dazzled Xu Que.
What surprised him was that there was not only equipment from the Cultivation World, but also equipment from the gaming world. This made him excited.
Equipment from the Cultivation World might have excellent defensive abilities, but equipment from the gaming world was not simple. Equipment from the gaming world was valuable because they had additional passive or active abilities.
For example, "Randun's Omen". Although the armor was only 10 points more than the "Flowing Light Purple Golden Armor", it had both active and passive abilities. It could reduce the enemy's speed, which was extremely useful in battle.
However, Xu Que was now facing a Heavenly Tribulation. Moreover, it was a Heavenly Tribulation in Difficult Mode.
Even if he thought with his toes, he knew that the Heavenly Tribulation would definitely not require armor. After all, it was a lightning strike, which was considered a spell attack. Therefore, what he needed now was equipment that could increase his magic resistance.
Hence, the "Spirit Visage" moved Xu Que.
Not only did it increase his magic resistance by 55 points, it also had an extremely valuable passive ability, which could double his vitality recovery rate!
With his current abilities, the double vitality recovery rate might not be of much use. However, if he were to activate the system's auto-recovery ability, this passive ability would be extremely powerful.
Xu Que felt that even if his limbs were to be broken and he activated the auto-recovery ability, coupled with this armor, he would be able to jump around in a few breaths' time!
"System, I want to exchange for the" Spirit Visage "!
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully exchanging for the" Spirit Visage ". 500 act tough points have been consumed."
Xu Que clenched his teeth and spent 500 act tough points in one go. In an instant, he was once again destitute. He was only left with 130 act tough points!
"It's a little expensive, but the act tough points were well spent. With such a powerful passive ability, coupled with the 50 points of magic resistance, a mere Heavenly Tribulation shouldn't be a problem."
Looking at the shiny green armor in the system's inventory, Xu Que was filled with confidence for the upcoming Heavenly Tribulation.
However, to be on the safe side, he decided to make use of these few days to adjust his condition. He would look for some Original Infant Stage demonic beasts and act tough a few more times. This way, he could earn more act tough points in case he needed them.
Xu Que began to wander around the mountains, listening to his surroundings.
It was a pity that after three days, Xu Que hadn't even met a single Original Infant Stage demonic beast.
"Damn it. I guess they were affected by the two Infant Transformation Stage demonic beasts. Since those Original Infant Stage demonic beasts are intelligent, they must have run off to hide." Xu Que cursed under his breath as he walked along the path.
However, at this point, he could hear the sounds of laughter coming from the front. It was the voices of human cultivators and it seemed like there were quite a number of them.
Xu Que immediately put on the human skin mask and changed it to Hu Ge's face. He took off the hood of the black robe and leaned against a big tree. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and posed like a wandering swordsman from ancient times. He squinted his eyes slightly and pretended to be basking in the sun. He closed his eyes and rested.
At the same time, the voices of those people could be heard.
"Fellow cultivators, let's speed up our journey. I'm afraid the number of people signing up is going to be overcrowded."
"That's right. Sky Incense Valley is one of the three biggest sects in the five nations. They only recruit disciples once every hundred years. I've heard that there are countless geniuses within the sect. Even the Empress of the Water Nation was once the head disciple of Sky Incense Valley."
"It's a pity that our Fire Empire was only allocated 50 Training Grounds. Every Training Ground is hidden in different places. A few days ago, there was a lucky lad who entered the mountains to train. He accidentally entered the Training Ground and obtained the right to enter the first round. However, he was too excited and accidentally revealed the location of the Training Ground. I'm sure a lot of people are rushing over to participate now."
"Hehe, I heard that the Sky Incense Valley found out about that lad revealing the location of the Training Ground and disqualified him from the first round. He's on the verge of collapsing."
"Who cares about him. Anyway, with our cultivation level, we will definitely be able to obtain the right to enter the first round. Fellow cultivators, good luck!"
"Yes, let's encourage each other!"
"Hey, look ahead. What is that black robed man doing leaning against the tree?"
"What a strong aura! There's an indescribable feeling about him. Anyway, it makes people feel that he's very powerful!"
"This should be the legendary demeanor of a powerful cultivator. His cultivation level is definitely higher than ours!"
"That's right. We must befriend such a powerful cultivator."
"Let's go and greet him. Perhaps he's also someone who wants to participate in the Training Ground!"
...
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 60 act tough points!"
Xu Que opened his eyes abruptly. His eyes were brimming with energy and radiance.
He had heard every single word of those people's conversations. His heart was filled with excitement.
One of the three biggest sects in the five nations? Training Ground? Many people?
Fuck, I can act tough again!
