His eighth tribulation was gone, just like that.
After the tribulation ended, the crazy headmaster could be considered to have passed his eighth tribulation. The majestic astral source should have been absorbed into his body and allowed him to reach the peak of the Emissary realm. The next step would be to break through to the Half-Ancestor realm. However, there was a problem with the black hole and the astral source. It was like fishing, appearing and disappearing from time to time.
However, regardless of whether it appeared or not, the crazy headmaster continued to laugh maniacally. He had no intention of absorbing it at all.
Old Cai muttered to himself, "I don't know if he's lucky or unlucky. The headmaster survived the tribulation, but he didn't get the benefits of passing his eighth tribulation."
"It's better that he didn't get it. Otherwise, if he absorbed that astral source and tried to go against the flow, he would die," the Rainmaster said.
"This is bad." The Trialmaster stared at the sky. Where was that Half-Ancestor?
The old woman had already entered Astral-10. Since the tribulation had ended, she wanted to take this opportunity to destroy Stargazing Tower.
Suddenly, an indescribable chill enveloped her body. She looked up and saw an incomparably large black hole appear, enveloping Astral-10 and even the sky above.
At this moment, not only the crazy headmaster, but all of Astral-10, including the old woman, were included in the tribulation.
The old woman's face turned pale. What the hell?
Another tribulation?
Below her, Old Cai and the others also saw this, and their eyes filled with confusion. Where had this tribulation come from?
"The headmaster broke through to the Half-Ancestor realm," the Trialmaster said in disbelief as his turbid eyes widened.
The others' first reaction was disbelief. The headmaster had clearly just passed his eighth tribulation, and his astral source vortex had yet to reach the peak of the Emissary realm. Even if he had, it would not have been easy for him to break through to the Half-Ancestor realm. That was an inner world formed from an astral source vortex, which was on a completely different level. How could it have been so easy to pass through a tribulation?
Furthermore, it had been a two-stage jump.
Far away, Lu Yin saw this and was shocked. Origin tribulation?
Who's going through a tribulation?
This was not a small area. Wait, could the current Fifth Mainland undergo an origin tribulation?
Just as he thought of this, he saw the black hole change. It suddenly expanded and shrunk as if it was playing a game.
Ever since the era of the Heavenly Sect and the birth of the Origin Tribulation, this starry sky had never experienced such a strange situation.
The crazy headmaster's Origin Tribulation enveloped everyone. The Origin Tribulation that the half-martial ancestor old woman attracted was especially exaggerated. Everyone wanted to accompany the crazy headmaster in his tribulation. However, because of the problem with the Astral Source Universe, the Origin Tribulation black hole couldn't display its full power. It constantly changed in the sky, causing everyone's hearts to palpitate. Only the crazy headmaster laughed loudly. However, this time, his laughter was different from before. He no longer repeated the same words.
He laughed until tears rolled down his cheeks. He laughed out of the vicissitudes of life, and also laughed out of life.
Those who heard the crazy principal's laughter couldn't help but want to cry. It was as if their entire lives were flashing through their minds.
The Half Martial Ancestor old woman was no exception. She didn't understand why she was so sad. At this moment, she thought through many things. Did all the people she killed on her path of cultivation deserve to die?
Was what he had done right?
What are you doing now?
Her mind was filled with question marks.
The crazy headmaster looked up at the sky and laughed. There was no vast astral source. Instead, there were pillars of water cascading down from the void, as if it was raining down on this gloomy sky.
In Astral-10, many students stared blankly at the pillars of water cascading down and smashing into the ground in front of them. Water splashed everywhere and floated into the air, forming countless layers of lakes. These lakes were like separate spaces that displayed images.
These lakes extinguished the flames that had been burning in Astral-10, and this was the first time that Astral-10 had been so clean.
There was.
When a student touched a pillar of water, they saw a person's entire life. He had gone from being high-spirited to being deranged. This was the crazy headmaster's life.
His life had formed a strange pillar of water that transformed into layers of lakes that filled the sky.
Above their heads, the Origin Tribulation black hole quietly disappeared the moment the pillar of water appeared.
It had clearly been an Origin Tribulation, but it had disappeared just like that. It had appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly.
The old woman stared at the endless pillars of water in shock. "Is this … a phenomenon?"
In the distance, Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "A phenomenon?"
The universe could not be fair, and no one could pursue absolute fairness. Everyone's innate gifts were divided into different levels. Some people's breakthroughs in cultivation, regardless of whether they were difficult or smooth, would always be within the norm. Even if they broke through to the Progenitor realm, nothing too strange would happen. However, some people's breakthroughs could cause the heavens and earth to change and cause a phenomenon to appear in space.
For example, when Lu Yin had broken through to the Explorer realm, a phenomenon had appeared. When he had broken through to the Enlighter realm and then to the Emissary realm, a phenomenon had appeared. This time, the crazy headmaster's breakthrough had also caused a phenomenon.
It was impossible to describe whether the crazy headmaster's tribulation had been right or wrong. The Origin Tribulation had appeared, but it had mysteriously disappeared. The only thing that had remained was that the crazy headmaster had successfully broken through. He had not suffered any of the disasters that came with breaking through to the Origin Tribulation, nor had he enjoyed any of the benefits that came with it. However, he had still broken through, and he had broken through while laughing maniacally. In the end, he had caused a phenomenon.
"Virtuous — Ruoshui," the Starmaster muttered.
The others did not understand.
The Starmaster was shocked. "Only those who have achieved great enlightenment can reach the realm of Virtuous Water. The headmaster has been crazy for so many years because he saw the past through Stargazing Deck. He was unable to let go of the past, which led to his mental disorder. However, this is also a form of tempering. Now, the headmaster has achieved great enlightenment and broken through to the Half-Ancestor realm, allowing him to see through the world."
"How do you know?"
Old Cai did not understand.
No one answered him, and everyone looked at the crazy headmaster. He was no longer laughing, and he simply stood at the center of the endless water pillar, drowning in the sea of memories.
In Astral-10, the old Half-Ancestor woman retracted her aura and headed in a certain direction. She knew that the commotion here would definitely attract the attention of those in the wasteland, and she no longer wanted to destroy Stargazing Deck. She wanted to leave. The crazy headmaster in outer space gave her an indescribable chill, as if this person was a threat to her. He had clearly just undergone his tribulation — no, he had not even undergone his tribulation, and he had even caused a phenomenon. This was the first time she had seen such a strange cultivator, so it was best for her to leave as soon as possible.
"You're a guest from afar. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" A gentle voice resounded through the heavens and into everyone's ears.
The old woman stopped and turned around. In outer space, a pair of clear eyes were looking at her. They were very calm, as calm as the Dead Sea.
Old Cai and the others all looked in the old woman's direction.
A ruthless glint flashed across the old woman's eyes. "You've just become a Half-Ancestor, yet you want to stop me? I advise you to behave yourself. Otherwise, even if you're lucky enough to pass your tribulation, you won't be able to live past today." She then turned to leave.
The crazy headmaster remained calm. He raised his left hand and flicked his finger. His fingertip traversed the distance and touched a water pillar.
A drop of water shot out and appeared behind the old woman in the blink of an eye.
The old woman was furious. "You're courting death!" Rings appeared and pressed down on the crazy headmaster. It was not just the crazy headmaster. She instantly released her inner world, intending to destroy all of Astral-10. She did not hesitate to flee into the distance. She could ignore the people here, but she could not ignore the Above Heaven Sect and Lu Xiaoxuan.
She did not realize that the drop of water had no effect whatsoever.
It passed through the rings and landed on the old woman's back.
Drip.
The sound of flowing water rang out. It was so clear and pleasant to the ears. Even the old woman herself felt that it was pleasant to hear. Then, her gaze became confused and she stopped moving. However, her body continued to move forward under the inertia of rushing out. No one stopped her.
"Director!" the Sandmaster could not help but shout.
The crazy headmaster retracted his gaze, and the rings that the old woman had released suddenly disappeared as if they had never existed. "Everyone, you've worked hard over the past few years."
Old Cai and the others were delighted. "Director, you've awakened?"
"The director has awakened?"
"The director has awakened."
…
In Astral-10, the mentors and students cheered.
The Rainmaster and the others were still worried. The director had occasionally awakened over the past few years, so who knew if he would suddenly go crazy again? Furthermore, what had just happened?
The crazy headmaster slowly descended.
The Rainmaster and the others subconsciously surrounded him and stared at him.
The crazy headmaster smiled and looked around. "Calm the students down first. We'll talk about my matters later." He then turned to look at the sky. "I'm finally here."
Lu Yin had arrived outside of Astral-10, and he was still carrying the half-ancestor old woman in his hand.
Slowly descending, Lu Yin looked at the crazy headmaster. "Director?"
The crazy headmaster smiled. "Have you thought it through, kid?
Are you willing to leave your name behind? "
Lu Yin was delighted. "Director, you've really recovered?"
The crazy headmaster smiled, and his gaze landed on the old woman in Lu Yin's hand. "Why are you bringing her up?
She's just a shell. "
Lu Yin released his grip, and the old woman fell to the ground. Her eyes were dazed, and she looked like an infant who had never seen the world. Saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth, and she could not control her body.
Old Cai and the others felt a chill run down their spines, and they looked at Lu Yin as if he was a pervert.
Lu Yin shrugged. "Don't look at me. It was the director who did this. I just brought her here."
The others looked at the crazy headmaster.
The crazy headmaster said, "She brought this upon herself. She had the chance to leave, but she didn't want to. So be it."
Lu Yin sighed. "Director, you entered the Half-Progenitor realm by chance, and you were able to deal with a Half-Progenitor with a wave of your hand. This junior is amazed by your ability, and this junior congratulates you on your rebirth."
"We also congratulate you on your rebirth," the Rainmaster and the others said sincerely.
The crazy headmaster exhaled and bowed deeply to the crowd. "Shaochen, thank you for your company, and thank you even more for your help in Wujiang."
The old woman had been completely crippled, and Lu Yin had left her for Astral-10 to deal with. He had rushed over because he wanted to protect Astral-10's Stargazing Deck. Fortunately, the headmaster had erupted at the last moment, or else he would not have been able to deal with Bai Xianer.
The Four Way Scales could not be underestimated, as they had still managed to find out how Lu Yin had dealt with Bai Xianer.
However, Lu Yin did not care anymore. He could see hope for the Fifth Mainland's rise from the ashes of Elder Chan and the crazy headmaster.
Every era of the human race produced geniuses. There had been the Three Realms and Six Daos during the Above Heaven Sect era, and there had been the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas during the Daosource Sect era. Other eras had definitely produced powerhouses like the Desolate Ancestor, who had not been famous, but had been unrivaled throughout the universe. The current era was even more flourishing: Hen Xin and the other Elders of Heaven's Gate from the Above Heaven Sect era, the crazy headmaster, Elder Chan, and Lu Yin. As long as there was enough time, the Ten Arbiters would be able to grow.
