The crucial point of the "Questioning Resolve" tribulation was to know one's limits.
Xiao Yun and Zhao Wuji exchanged a glance, finally understanding the key to this trial.
One could not be overly ambitious, but neither could one lack ambition.
After all, the loftier one's aspirations, the greater one's future achievements would be.
Just look at the Heaven-Covering Great Emperor. He had likely chosen "Great Emperor" as his goal back then, which made it even harder for him to advance to Heavenly Emperor afterward.
Of course, since ancient times, how many Heavenly Emperors had there ever been?
No matter how high your talent or how strong your confidence, when the time truly came to undergo the tribulation, you would still choose the safer path and attain the Dao as a Great Emperor first. If you set your goal as "Heavenly Emperor" but your willpower failed to keep up, causing you to fail the tribulation and perish with your Dao extinguished, that would be utterly damned.
"Thank you for your guidance!" Xiao Yun drew a deep breath and thanked Ye Qilin before him.
Only Great Emperors knew such information about the Emperor Tribulation.
Their Chaos Holy Land had no reincarnated Great Emperor. If Ye Qilin had not told him, he might not have learned of it even when he faced the tribulation himself.
Without realizing it, Ye Qilin had saved his life, greatly improving Xiao Yun's impression of him.
He was far better than that dead bastard Ye Fei.
As expected of a reincarnated Great Emperor—he possessed a Great Emperor's bearing.
"Senior Xiao, there is no need for this. You fought for the Nine Heavens Continent; we have all witnessed it. If anyone should be giving thanks, it should be us thanking you." Ye Qilin waved his hand with a smile.
