CHAPTER 261
Born in an aristocratic family, one has no choice
"Oh, I remember now." Tang Jin waved his left hand, and a small sandalwood box appeared in his hand. He placed it on the table and pushed it in front of Tang Jun Ge. He asked, "Grandpa, if you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. Is this one of the 12 Celestial Immortals' Battle Treasure Maps?"
Many years ago, when Tang Jin had just arrived on the mainland from Dingtian Capital, he had found this treasure map in the other party's storage pouch during a robbery. Back then, when he saw that it was just a badly damaged treasure map made of human skin, he was curious but didn't pay it much attention. Thus, he casually kept it. A few years ago at the Ryu family, Tang Jin accidentally saw a fragment of the Twelve Treasure Maps in Tang Jun Ge's hands. Only then did he remember that he also had such a fragment of the map. However, at that time, Tang Jin was too angry at the death of Willow Catkin, so he didn't have the time to tell Tang Jun Ge. Later on, Tang Jin forgot about it. It wasn't until Tang Jun Ge brought it up that Tang Jin remembered it.
"That's right, that's right." Seeing that Tang Jin took it out so readily, Tang Jun Ge quickly took it with a smile. He opened it and looked at it. "This is it. The last map fragment is actually in our hands! Hahaha! "
Tang Junge casually placed the map fragment on the table beside him and began to explain to Tang Jin, "In history, there has never been a time when all 12 of the Celestial Immortal Battle Treasure Maps have been gathered together. At most, there were only nine pieces. This time, 11 pieces appeared unexpectedly. Our forces began to mobilize all of our resources to search for the last piece of the map. It was not until the day before yesterday that Master Penglai contacted me and said that the Penglai Immortal Palace had found the whereabouts of this treasure map. This treasure map was originally obtained by a first-rate sect of the Righteous Dao in their sect domain. However, that sect was destroyed by you a few years ago. He asked me to come here to look for clues. I didn't expect it to be on you. "
"Mm, that's right. I found this map fragment from the body of someone whose sect I destroyed. Back then, that person wanted to kill me. In the end, I killed him. Back then, I did not know what this map fragment was. Thus, I kept it." Tang Jin grinned, took a sip of tea, and said, "It's true, Grandpa. If you hadn't mentioned it to me, I would've forgotten about it. Maybe I would've brought you to the Immortal World. You guys would've never been able to gather all twelve pieces of the Celestial Immortal Battle Treasure Map and open the treasure."
"That's not possible." Tang Jun Ge shook his head and said, "This treasure map can't enter the Celestial World. Many years ago, there was also a person who accidentally put the treasure map into his space bag and ascended. However, when the guiding light shone on that person, that person was unable to follow the guiding light and ascend. The treasure map fragment kept vibrating in his space bag, causing the fragment in our hands to vibrate as well. It was as if it was guiding us to save that fragment. Later, that person threw the treasure map fragment to us. Only then did we successfully ascend to the Celestial World with the guiding light. "
The twelve pieces of the Celestial Immortal Battle Treasure Map were divided into twelve pieces. It was not impossible to enter the Celestial World. If a few pieces were missing, they would never be able to gather all twelve pieces.
"Oh? This small map fragment is actually so strange? " Hearing this, Tang Jin suddenly became interested. He picked up the treasure map fragment in the box and began to play with it carefully. After looking at the treasure map for a while, Tang Jin continued, "This treasure map looks like human skin? Could it be that Wu Heng's skin? Did Wu Heng ascend to the Celestial World or die? "
"Wu Heng." Tang Jun Ge repeated this name. He stood up and walked to the door of the hall. Looking at the fluttering snowflakes in the sky, he seemed to be reminiscing, "At that time, when Wu Heng dominated the Sect Region, I was still a Nascent Soul junior in the Tang dynasty. If it weren't for my good aptitude and mutated spiritual roots, I wouldn't have been qualified to know about Wu Heng at all. "
As he spoke, Tang Jun Ge turned his head and glanced at Tang Jin. Then, he continued, "Before Jin Er became famous, this Wu Heng had always been the most outstanding person in the Celestial Combat Continent. In terms of cultivation speed and personal strength, he was only second to you, Jin Er. He was also a person who could challenge people above his level. At that time, he dominated the Celestial Combat Continent. With his superb strength and the power of the Wu people behind him, he was also a prodigy in the Celestial Combat Continent. Later, he failed to pass the tribulation and was judged by the Wu people … "
"Wait." Suddenly, Tang Jin interrupted Tang Jun Ge and said with some doubt, "Grandpa, you just said that your aptitude is very high and you have mutated spiritual roots. You were specially trained by the Tang dynasty. You also said that Wu Heng's aptitude is very high and he was specially trained by the Wu people. Aptitude, strength, and resources, you all have them. But why did you all fail to pass the tribulation? Logically speaking, the better the aptitude, the higher the strength, and the more powerful the resources, the higher the chance of passing the tribulation, right? Is it because your strength has increased too quickly and your inner demons are causing trouble? "
This was a question that Tang Jin had never understood. According to legend, every generation's Patriarch of every force was a stunning figure with extraordinary aptitude and strength. But why did they all fail to pass the tribulation? This was very contradictory.
"Hehe, this is no longer a secret among the various forces. Every major force will do this. Fine, I'll tell you." After listening to Tang Jin's question, Tang Jun Ge smiled bitterly and looked up at the sky. There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes. After pondering for a long time, he said in a low voice, "Actually, the reason why we failed to pass the tribulation was all on purpose …"
Under Tang Jin's puzzled and complicated gaze, Tang Jun Ge said bitterly, "If the super forces want to gain a firm foothold in the Immortal Fighter Continent, in addition to having a backer in the Immortal World, they must also have a Level 10 Individual Immortal in the Mortal World. However, some people with poor aptitude and strength can't cultivate to Level 10 Individual Immortal even if they pass the tribulation. Therefore, they need to select a person with good aptitude in each generation who has the potential to become a Level 10 Individual Immortal and train them. They have to deliberately fail to pass the tribulation and become an Individual Immortal so that they can be in charge of the force in the future. Moreover, if the next Level 10 Individual Immortal doesn't appear, the current Level 10 Individual Immortal in charge of the force must deliberately suppress his ascension. For example, if I were to ascend now, our Tang dynasty would definitely be attacked by other forces and collapse. Now we have three Level 9 Individual Immortals in our Tang dynasty. I'm making them undergo closed-door training. I don't know if a Level 10 Individual Immortal will appear among them. Otherwise, I don't know how long I'll have to wait. "
Seeing Tang Jin's shocked expression, Tang Jun Ge smiled and said, "What do you think? You're very shocked, aren't you? When I found out, I was also very shocked. I didn't believe it, I was unwilling and resentful, but I endured it. I know it's the Tang dynasty that has trained me. If I leave the Tang dynasty, I'll be nothing. In the past, after Wu Heng learned of this rule, he was unwilling to pass the tribulation and become an Individual Immortal, so he didn't agree with the Wu people. In the end, the Level 10 Individual Immortal of the Wu people at that time made trouble for him and caused him to fail his tribulation. Originally, he thought that if Wu Heng failed his tribulation, Wu Heng would be willing to stay with the Wu people. He didn't expect Wu Heng to betray the Wu people because of this. When Wu Heng cultivated to Level 10 Individual Immortal, that Wu people hadn't ascended yet. Wu Heng killed the Level 10 Individual Immortal of the Wu people at that time to take revenge for disturbing his tribulation and causing him to fail his tribulation and become an Individual Immortal. He used the skin of that Level 10 Individual Immortal of the Wu people to make this Twelve Treasure Map of the Celestial Immortals. However, Wu Heng still had a conscience. He didn't kill the Wu people's Level 10 Individual Immortal and leave. Instead, he helped the Wu people for more than a thousand years. When the next Level 10 Individual Immortal of the Wu people appeared, he would pass the tribulation and ascend to the Immortal World. "
"So it's like this," Tang Jin frowned and said in a deep voice, "Then I'm also being heavily groomed by the Tang dynasty. In the future, I have to deliberately fail my tribulation and become an Individual Immortal?"
"No," Tang Jun Ge denied Tang Jin's words. He looked at Tang Jin enviously, shook his head and said, "If possible, I really want you to fail your tribulation and become an Individual Immortal. With your speed, it won't take long for you to become a Level 10 Individual Immortal. At that time, I'll also be free. Unfortunately, you have Thunder Spirit Root and Thunder Spirit Dao Body. Not to mention that you can't fail your tribulation, even if you can, the Celestial Court won't let a genius like you stay in a small place like mine to be a Level 10 Individual Immortal. So you can rest assured and cultivate. In your generation, the person I've decided on is Tang Chuangong. Hehe, I'll tell him when he's about to pass his tribulation at Level 10, lest it discourage his enthusiasm. At that time, when he hears the news, his mind will be unstable, and the probability of failure will be higher. In your generation, the top ten young geniuses of the continent, except for you, will all fail their tribulation and become Individual Immortals. "
In Tang Jun Ge's plain tone, Tang Jin could hear a trace of cruelty. Tang Jin suddenly thought of the time when he and Lo Cheng parted. Lo Cheng sighed, "Born in an aristocratic family, you have no choice", and Lo Cheng's envious gaze when he looked at Tang Jin. Perhaps, Lo Cheng already knew the fate he would face when he passed his tribulation.
Indeed, not every descendant of an aristocratic family could be as lucky as Tang Jin. She could be so unrestrained and unfettered.
"Then what about Lo Cheng? Lo Cheng has Dark Spirit Root with Perfect Aptitude! Dark Spirit Dao Body, with such a good aptitude, will he still fail his tribulation? "Tang Jin's tone was a little anxious.
He didn't want to see his brother suffer such a tragic fate.
"Yes." Nodding, Tang Jun Ge said helplessly, "Back then, Wu Heng also had Perfect Aptitude with Dark Spirit Root, and his luck and strength were so strong. Didn't that Wu people also want him to fail his tribulation as a Level 10 Individual Immortal? Actually, according to the rules, Perfect Aptitude is considered a good aptitude in the Immortal Realm, and should be allowed to pass the tribulation smoothly. The candidate to become an Individual Immortal after failing the tribulation should be chosen from those with perfect aptitude. However, after all, everyone has their own selfish motives. For example, Lo Cheng. If Lo Cheng could become an Individual Immortal and quickly cultivate to Level 10, then wouldn't the Level 10 Individual Immortal Luo Xin of the Luo Wu Demon Palace be able to ascend? To be honest, Jin Er, if you didn't have Thunder Spirit Dao Body, but had Perfect Aptitude for other attributes, I wouldn't have reported it to the Celestial Court. Instead, I would have chosen to let you stay and cultivate as an Individual Immortal. When the time comes, you can inherit my position and free myself. "
Indeed, who didn't have selfish motives? If there was an opportunity to free oneself and allow oneself to ascend to the Immortal Realm, who would be foolish enough to help others?
