The Qin Emperor woke up. As he saw Jing Jiu standing by the tripod, he felt extremely disappointed. "It's impossible; how could the rules be breached?" he muttered.
Jing Jiu turned his head to shoot a glance his way, thinking this was indeed a stupid question.
The goal of Cultivation was to breach the rules, to free oneself from the restrictions, and to ascend.
If one expected to acquire the pity or permission of heaven so that the heavenly thunder would not fall, they wouldn't be able to achieve anything great. One had to brave the heavenly thunder to achieve something extraordinary.
It was the same principle regardless of whether it was in the real world or in the Illusionary Realm.
Since the first day when Jing Jiu was reborn in the Royal Palace of Chu State and heard the statement in his mind, he had never thought of contending for the tripod.
All he thought of was winning the tripod!
