Lu Ye's heart wasn't made of iron.
He saw the Devouring Dao Beast's efforts; it was intelligent, so letting it follow him wouldn't hurt.
The other three were deep in thought.
After pondering for a moment, Boundless Daoist had made his decision.
"Fellow Daoist, you called upon the four of us. Does this mean that the four of us are all qualified to ascend to the Great Emperor realm?" Boundless Daoist asked.
Lu Ye nodded.
"That's right."
"Good, in that case, this poor Daoist is willing to become the first Great Emperor in ten thousand years!"
Having cultivated as a rogue cultivator to this point, Boundless Daoist's wisdom and decisiveness were beyond question.
In cultivation, one should be cautious when necessary and fight when the time calls for it.
Moreover, Boundless Daoist had gained confidence by now.
What was there to fear in proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor?
Lu Ye nodded, his gaze filled with approval.
"Sect Leader, I still want to continue fighting alongside the Sect Leader, so I won't prove the Dao for now," Luan Xin said.
This was a decision she had carefully considered, as she believed she hadn't reached her absolute limit yet. In terms of the Great Dao alone, she could still improve further!
The Palace Master of Taiyin Palace was also a woman of breathtaking beauty, but that wasn't important. Having reached this realm, no one discussed matters of love anymore.
Ordinary matters of love existed when one was weak, but once they reached the Great Dao Realm, only the Great Dao remained in their hearts, leaving no room for thoughts of love.
The Palace Master of Taiyin Palace opened her mouth and asked, "Fellow Daoist, may I ask how much certainty I have if I prove the Dao?"
Lu Ye pondered for a moment.
If the Palace Master of Taiyin Palace hadn't asked this question, it would have been sixty percent. After asking, it became forty percent.
"Forty percent!"
A hint of surprise appeared in the Palace Master of Taiyin Palace's eyes, not because the success rate was low, but because this success rate was already considered relatively high.
If she could break through herself and strengthen her belief during the Crossing Tribulation, she could truly use all her accumulated resources to soar upwards.
"Forget it, I'll wait a bit longer!"
She had only been with Lu Ye for this long and already reached thirty percent. She could certainly hold on a bit longer.
Lu Ye nodded.
Although the Palace Master of Taiyin Palace was a woman, and she had heard An Li say how good Lu Ye was to his women, she showed no intention of becoming friends with Lu Ye. She simply yearned for the Great Dao. Such people were normal.
So, only Boundless Daoist would undergo the Crossing Tribulation.
"Fellow Daoist Boundless, please come with me!"
Lu Ye led Boundless Daoist away.
Lu Ye had already planned what he would do for Boundless Daoist.
The Heavenly Pills had already been refined.
They included the Taiching Clear Heart Pill to protect the Dao heart, the Myriad Apertures Splitting Heaven Pill for explosive power, the Primordial Vitality Pill for healing injuries, and so on.
Lu Ye could now be said to possess countless treasures because all the spoils of war belonged to him, ensuring he had enough treasures to do whatever he wanted.
What Lu Ye needed to do now was also help Boundless Daoist refine and improve his Natal Magical Treasure.
Additionally, there was the Myriad Tribulations Unification Body that Lu Ye had comprehended during his Crossing Tribulation.
This Myriad Tribulations Unification Body was a derived divine ability of the Nine Tribulation Undying Body. The Nine Tribulation Undying Body was for strengthening the physique, while the Myriad Tribulations Unification Body was for preserving life during the Crossing Tribulation.
This method allowed the tribulation-taker to transform everything into a spherical form, which became the most solid state. Even after it ended, the tribulation-taker would fall into a state of terrible exhaustion, but Lu Ye had tested it, and it was genuinely very helpful for the Crossing Tribulation.
Not only that, but he also improved Boundless Daoist's divine abilities.
It wasn't a complete overall upgrade, but it simply made Boundless Daoist stronger, even stronger.
As for other things, Lu Ye had nothing else to instruct.
As for telling him not to be discouraged or fearful, it was unnecessary. Boundless Daoist had walked this far from being a rogue cultivator and no longer needed others to guide his path, for the path was already beneath his own feet.
All the Quasi-Emperors knew that Boundless Daoist was about to undergo the Crossing Tribulation to prove the Dao and become an Emperor, and each of them was filled with anticipation.
Excellent, excellent!
Success or failure, leaving a name for eternity or turning to dust, it all rests on this day!
Lu Ye's individual guidance directly took a year's time.
Finally!
With a heaven-shaking laugh.
Boundless Daoist's aura infinitely soared, his voice filled with boundless heroism.
At this moment!
All his states had reached their peak.
There was no auspicious day, it was today!
Lu Ye spoke.
"Fellow Daoists, let us go to the Chaos to observe!"
The Void was torn open, and chaotic energy permeated the air.
In the depths of this Chaos, the Great Emperor Tribulation could fully unleash its power.
Figures rapidly moved towards the Chaos.
Boundless Daoist was wearing a washed-out Daoist robe, holding a sword in one hand and a bell in the other.
Both treasures emitted incredibly powerful auras.
Boundless Daoist looked up and laughed heartily, "Heaven and Earth, please bestow the Tribulation!"
At this moment, boundless pressure descended.
The chaotic energy, which was initially drifting, became incredibly turbulent.
At this moment, the entire Nine Heavens felt the changes in Heaven and Earth. An extremely oppressive aura appeared in everyone's hearts, as if Heaven and Earth were cracking at this moment.
Endless tribulation energy transformed into towering tribulation clouds.
Black clouds permeated, and the tribulation energy shook the heavens.
Black lightning, without any concealment, arrived along with the tribulation clouds.
To prove the Dao and become an Emperor, the Great Emperor Tribulation one faces varies. It seems that the situation of each person's Crossing Tribulation is different.
However, overall, it is a tribulation concerning cultivation, state of mind, and the Great Dao.
Black lightning is the highest level of lightning. When the Heavenly Dao struck the Darkness Origin back then, it was this kind of lightning.
Boundless pressure erupted as if without restraint.
It was as if the sky had collapsed.
The sheer pressure alone made the relatively close Quasi-Emperors feel a sense of suffocation, and a feeling of fear involuntarily arose from the depths of their hearts.
Observing the Crossing Tribulation was already like this, so how did Boundless Daoist, who was undergoing the tribulation, feel at this moment?
Perhaps only Boundless Daoist knew.
The tribulation clouds were continuously condensing.
The Great Dao emerged, bringing an irresistible pressure, because the Great Dao that was currently appearing was the most complete Great Dao in Heaven and Earth. In the face of this Great Dao, any weaker existence would feel a sense of looking up at a towering mountain.
The power of the tribulation clouds hadn't erupted yet, but they gave off an extreme sense of oppression.
Boundless Daoist always maintained a faint smile on his face.
At this moment, the path he had walked since his birth constantly appeared in his mind. Black energy was already continuously surging out, and his aura began to drop again and again.
Lu Ye knew what the other party was currently experiencing, so he began to explain on the spot.
"What Boundless Daoist is currently experiencing is called the Heart Demon Asking the Dao!"
"It questions your entire life, questions your °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° path, questions your Dao, questions your heart."
"A cultivator's life is truly too long. There are always times when one feels ashamed of their heart, and times when their heart is not firm."
"However, ask yourself, is the path you have walked and the Great Dao you have cultivated without regret?"
