Chen Qiu had already left Jiang Buping and contacted the Barbarian Race chieftain, preparing to head with him to another province in the Tidal Immortal Realm to attend a clan-founding banquet. This was his first time attending another clan's founding banquet.
Naturally, the Barbarian Race chieftain had no reason to refuse. Excitedly, he said that they had not met in ten years and would surely talk through the entire night this time!
As for the things Jiang Buping had said.
He had indeed heard the same things from Weird Buddha before. There was not much difference between what the two had said. Following the rules and attaining the Dao through them was a shortcut, but that shortcut would bind one in certain respects.
There would never be a rule in this world that benefited one forever. Even a rule that was advantageous now would one day restrain one in some matter.
He had fought his way out of the Land of Heavenly Imprisonment. There was no need for him to take this shortcut.
He had his own path to walk.
Since only breaking through to True Immortal in the Tidal Immortal Realm required the price of a True Immortal corpse, things became much simpler. He had no need to break through to True Immortal in the Tidal Immortal Realm at all. He could break through in the Sixth-Grade Immortal Realm and undergo his True Immortal Tribulation there.
After all—
His True Immortal Tribulation would most likely be a Fourth-Rank Heavenly Tribulation. Even the Heaven-and-Earth Power of a Fifth-Grade Immortal Realm would find it rather difficult to manifest it.
Having made his choice, he began considering what came next. After attending this clan-founding banquet, he would raise his cultivation to the Heavenly Immortal Peak, then head to the Sixth-Grade Immortal Realm
