I Have Awakened The Deduction System

388 Unable to Ascend

When everyone had completely let down their guard, Xu Fengyu suddenly gathered millions of demonic cultivators and attacked Yanhuang Island with lightning speed. They killed all the living beings on the island, leaving no survivors.

What was even more terrifying was that before the other two individual cultivator islands could react, the million-strong army of demonic cultivators that destroyed the Yanhuang Island spread the flames of war to the Sacred Soul Island, which was the closest to Yanhuang Island, without stopping.

With the same thunderous momentum and forceful methods, the unprepared sacred soul Island was immediately massacred and completely destroyed.

Just like that, in a short period of three days, two of the three major rogue cultivator islands in the freezing cold land had been destroyed. The remaining Floating Jade Island was bound to be jittery and uneasy.

At this time, the million-strong army of demonic cultivators, which was full of killing intent, suddenly stopped their attack and returned to the depths of the extremely cold land.

No one knew what they wanted to do, and no one knew if they intended to let the Floating Jade Island go or if they had other intentions.

The underwater beast cultivator didn’t say anything and chose to remain silent again.

The dark clouds covered Floating Jade Island for three days and three nights. Just when the individual cultivators on the Floating Jade Island thought the dark clouds were about to disperse, they suddenly received news a demonic cultivator army had appeared in the waters of the Floating Jade Island.

Thus, the following change in the Floating Jade Island.

It was obvious that he didn’t intend to let the Floating Jade Island go. Instead, he wanted to catch it off guard and quickly destroy the island with a thunderous momentum.

Unfortunately, Xu Fengyu’s plan failed.

First of all, they did not expect Gu Mingzhou to suddenly appear.

Secondly, they did not expect the trapped Floating Jade Island Master to be able to force his way out of the array.

Such an accident directly caused Xu Fengyu’s plan to use an army of a million demonic cultivators to conquer the Floating Jade Island to fail completely.

However, Ye Xiu didn’t know why Xu Fengyu had chosen to lay low for three months before suddenly attacking.

It was even more impossible to know why he was so seriously injured.

In fact, many people did not even know why the left protector had chosen to defect.

He was the newly appointed clan leader of the human clan’s Floating Jade Island’s rogue cultivators. He had heard many rumors about the changes that had happened on Floating Jade Island and did not know much about it.

He would only be able to get the answers to these questions when he saw the Floating Jade Island Master again.

However, the Floating Jade Island Master was too busy, so Gu Mingzhou did not see him. He was temporarily arranged to rest in a palace somewhere.

Gu Mingzhou naturally would not be dissatisfied. He knew that the Floating Jade Island Master was busy now.

Moreover, he felt that he was free and could rest and cultivate in the palace. He could even try to communicate with the heavenly lightning and guide tribulations to temper his body.

It was a pity he had the experience of drawing in tribulations to temper his body once, but he couldn’t draw out the lightning tribulation this time.

Just as Zhao Qiankun had said, he had never heard of anyone who had been tempered by lightning tribulations twice in a row.

Anyone who failed to pass the tribulation would die and turn into dust without exception.

After Gu Mingzhou had failed for three consecutive days and was about to give up, the Island Master of Floating Jade finally appeared in front of Gu Mingzhou and brought him the good news.

The Island Floating Jade Island Master was just in time to see Gu Mingzhou’s dejected expression when he failed to attract lightning.

“Brother Gu, are you feeling frustrated because you can’t attract the tribulation to temper your body?” The Island Floating Jade Island Master did not say much. He just sat down opposite Gu Mingzhou and directly pointed out the key point without asking for the reason.

It was reasonable to say that such a situation should not happen to cultivators.

Gu Mingzhou was troubled by his inability to ascend, which was why he made a mistake and was seen through by the Floating Jade Island Master.

“Brother Liu’s eyes are indeed sharp. This is what I’m worried about,” Seeing that his thoughts had been exposed, Gu Mingzhou did not hide anything.

“The Dao Foundation will attract the thunder tribulation to temper the body and wash away karma. What else can we be worried about?” The Floating Jade Island Master laughed and waved his hand as he explained.

This sentence directly pointed out the reason.

“Although I don’t know why the Floating Jade Island Master didn’t succeed, his current situation is obviously the same as mine. He can’t sense the lightning tribulation.”

Just as the Floating Jade Island Master had said, all cultivators in the world knew the common saying, ‘the path of cultivation is to build the foundation of Dao.’

It stopped at the foundation establishment stage and did not describe the later stages.

Gu Mingzhou was an exception because he had failed his tribulation and had already guided the tribulation to temper his body.

Therefore, after he built his Dao Foundation again, there was no lightning tribulation. This also caused Gu Mingzhou to be unable to sense the power of the upper realm.

One had to know that since ancient times, those who failed to pass the tribulation would have their souls destroyed on the spot. How could there be a second chance?

Gu Mingzhou was a coincidental person created by the combination of various factors.

This probability was definitely one in ten thousand, and it was already very amazing that Gu Mingzhou would be there.

Therefore, he did not think that the Floating Jade Island Master had the same problem as him.

However, if it was not his second time building his Dao Foundation, how could the Floating Jade Island Master have advanced to the earth realm?

Gu Mingzhou did not know, and neither did Zhao Qiankun.

Regardless of the reason, there was no doubt the Floating Jade Island Master had not ascended.

He told the Floating Jade Island Master he had failed to transcend the tribulation and he had not died.

After hearing the story, the Floating Jade Island Master did not show any surprise on his face. It was as if he was used to such things and found it very strange.

“Back then, I was too young to survive the thunder tribulation. Therefore, I prepared a formation in advance to weaken the thunder tribulation when I was drawing the tribulation to temper my body.” The Island Floating Jade Island Master did not wait for Gu Mingzhou to ask and explained his doubts.

“Who knew that it would backfire on me? For some reason, the formation isolated me from the world the moment I formed my Dao Foundation, so the thunder tribulation did not come. I could not complete the tribulation-inducing tempering of my body and did not sense the opportunity to ascend to the upper realm.” The Floating Jade Island Master’s face was filled with regret.

Gu Mingzhou nodded slightly. It turned out that the reason why the Floating Jade Island Master had advanced to the earth realm and had not ascended was because of him.

Compared to himself, this was both fortunate and sorrowful.

Fortunately, when the Floating Jade Island Master created this state, he was not affected by external factors like Gu Mingzhou. Naturally, he had fewer obstacles.

Not only did he lose all his cultivation, but his meridians were also broken. He was also imprisoned and spent half a year in darkness and misery.

The Floating Jade Island Master’s self-blame was probably more than helplessness.

The past few hundred years had been a torment for the Floating Jade Island Master.

Especially when he saw the people around him leave him and ascend to the heavenly realm, leaving him alone to die.

However, this indirectly showed how strong the Floating Jade Island Master’s cultivation talent was and how great his perseverance was.

It was extremely rare to set up a formation that could block out the lightning tribulation.

The Floating Jade Island Master had used a hundred years to advance his cultivation from the mortal realm to the earth realm.

After all, Gu Mingzhou had used the Heavenly Devouring Technique to devour experts one after another before he entered the earth realm.

Compared to the Floating Jade Island Master, who had cultivated the earth realm alone, he could not be mentioned on the same level.

“Could it be that after so many years, you still haven’t found a way to ascend?” Gu Mingzhou looked at the Floating Jade Island Master and asked.

He was afraid the answer he got would not be the answer he wanted. Even if he had the answer in his heart, he was still unwilling to believe it.
