I Have Awakened The Deduction System

390 Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining

Gu Mingzhou understood the intentions of those who wanted to erase the truth.

It was nothing more than fame and fortune.

If a cultivator with the potential to ascend appeared in a sect or family, it would bring glory and recognition to the sect or family.

However, if a cultivator failed to pass the tribulation of the foundation establishment stage and was severely injured, his meridians would be broken and he would become a disabled person. This would no longer be the glory of the family or sect, but a humiliation.

In order to cover up the truth of the matter, everyone covered up the person they thought was the loser, making his traces in the world the end.

“Those who edited the allusions and covered up the truth would never know that cultivators who failed to pass the tribulation would be willing to drag out an ignoble existence!” the Floating Jade Island Master slowly explained.

“If you fail to pass the tribulation and survive, even if you are not executed, you will lose all your resources and be abandoned by the world.” The Floating Jade Island Master suddenly turned around.

“Did these seniors successfully re-cultivate?” Gu Mingzhou felt a little upset. He looked at the corpses on the altar and asked softly.

There were eighteen corpses sitting cross-legged on the altar.

“For hundreds of years, I’ve found nearly a hundred cultivators who failed their tribulations, provided them with resources, and even brought them to the Floating Jade Island. In the end, only eighteen cultivators succeeded in their cultivation.” The Floating Jade Island Master’s eyes were slightly red as he spoke.

When they re-established their Dao foundations, they finally realized the problem today.

Without a second lightning tribulation to temper one’s body, one would not be able to ascend to the higher realm.

Hence, he began to search for a solution.

However, it was precisely this method that took away their lives!

Pain and regret appeared on the Island Master of Floating Jade Island’s face as he stepped onto the altar. Gu Mingzhou silently followed behind him and also stepped onto the altar.

From below, one could only see a raised round altar and a corpse sitting cross-legged.

However, after stepping onto the altar, he discovered that the surface of the altar was engraved with all kinds of mysterious runes.

Gu Mingzhou didn’t recognize the runes and had never seen them before, but he could feel an extremely overbearing and tough aura from them.

The powerful suppression made him feel like he was stuck in a quagmire, and he could not help but frown.

“Don’t worry, it’s just the power of the formation,” the Floating Jade Island Master had already expected his performance.

The suppressive force instantly disappeared without a trace.

However, he could sense a domineering aura from the runes.

“What an overbearing formation. If it’s activated, I’m afraid it can even suppress me.” Gu Mingzhou said with lingering fear.

“The formation can only suppress the mortal realm to the maximum. The reason why you feel your heart palpitate is mostly because of the dozen or so who are sleeping.” The Floating Jade Island Master pointed at the eighteen corpses sitting cross-legged in front of him as he explained.

According to the Floating Jade Island Master, these cultivators who failed in their ascension had passed away a hundred years ago.

But even if they were alive, they couldn’t threaten Gu Mingzhou. How could they make Gu Mingzhou feel suppressed after they passed away?

The Island Master of Floating Jade Island did not answer Gu Mingzhou’s question. Instead, he stepped on the strange runes and walked to the center of the altar.

“Brother Gu, come here and feel it.” The Floating Jade Island Master turned around and waved his hand.

Gu Mingzhou did not understand why the Floating Jade Island Master had suddenly asked him to enter the array.

Even standing outside the altar, he felt suppressed. If he went in, the suppression would be even more severe.

Could it be that the other party didn’t want to tell him the method of Ascension, but had other plans?

Countless thoughts flashed through Gu Mingzhou’s mind.

After experiencing so many changes, he didn’t know when he had started to subconsciously be on guard against everything.

However, he immediately shook his head secretly, feeling his own thoughts were laughable.

With Gu Mingzhou’s current cultivation level, the Floating Jade Island Master might not be able to do anything to him.
