These big shots had minds as tangled as a ball of yarn.
Just a moment ago, they had still felt that this year was a golden age for the Cultivator World. Profound Sages had been emerging one after another, and someone had even begun advancing to the Tribulation Immortal Realm. It was a year of flourishing fortune and prosperity.
But in the very next moment, that fellow who had attempted to advance to the Tribulation Immortal Realm had died beneath the first wave of the "reminder-and-greeting" Heavenly Tribulation.
Had this fellow come out just to make people laugh?
Was he using his life to make people laugh?
He might become the fellow who had "died beneath the first wave of the greeting-style Heavenly Tribulation," his name immortalized through the ages.
But a moment later, the few big shots knitted their brows again, sensing that things were not so simple.
[Something feels off. In theory, even a newly advanced Eighth-Grade Profound Sage should be able to withstand the first wave of the Heavenly Tribulation. This fellow's strength had already reached the realm of advancing to Ninth Grade. Even if he lay there without moving, it would be impossible for him to die beneath the first wave of the Heavenly Tribulation!]
[Unless... the current "Heaven" had secretly meddled.]
[The current "Heaven" was about to be replaced. Perhaps this fellow had truly walked straight into the line of fire today.]
[Spread this matter immediately and tell the fellow cultivators preparing to undergo tribulation in the near future to be twice as careful. Especially those advancing from Eighth to Ninth Grade—they had better wait a while longer!]
[Find a way to investigate who the fellow undergoing tribulation today is.]
As the thoughts of several big shots stirred, one order after another was passed down.
