People had indeed triggered the Eighth-Rank Heavenly Tribulation before, aside from the former patriarch of the Mocking Heaven Sect. Unfortunately, none of them had successfully transcended it. As far as he knew, the former patriarch of the Mocking Heaven Sect was the only one who had.
And the Ninth-Rank Heavenly Tribulation was unprecedented.
"."
Jiang Buping gazed at Chen Qiu, who was hovering high in the distance and patiently waiting for the tribulation clouds to form. Judging by this momentum, never mind anything else—the Ninth-Rank Heavenly Tribulation was definitely unavoidable.
Just then—
An old man beside him stared at him and the huge spoon in his hand in astonishment. "Which restaurant are you from? Have the requirements for cooks become this high nowadays? A True Immortal working as a cook?"
"What?"
Jiang Buping rolled his eyes irritably and casually tossed the spoon in his hand into the air. "You've never seen a True Immortal working as a cook? How narrow your horizons are. Have you ever seen someone who entered the Dao and ascended to Immortal Emperor through the 'cook' rule? An Immortal Emperor cook!"
He had more or less grown tired of being a cook over the past ten years. For the next ten years, he would find some other line of work.
During these ten years, he had conveniently advanced his cultivation to the True Immortal realm. It wasn't that he had wanted to break through; it was simply that remaining at the Heavenly Immortal Peak in the Sixth-Grade Immortal Realm had been somewhat inconvenient, so he had broken through along the way.
There was no way for him to cultivate any further after that. Under normal cultivation, he would need at least several hundred years to reach the Golden Immortal realm.
He didn't have that much time.
