Chapter 245: Chapter 245 – Tribulation Aura
That tribulation aura had originally been hovering between the heavens and earth, and it would only descend when certain things happened.
As Chen Heng had that thought, tribulation aura immediately descended towards him.
Now, the tribulation aura around him was much denser than on other people.
Before, the person who Chen Heng had seen with the most tribulation aura was Hou Juan.
It was just that compared to the tribulation aura that had just descended on Chen Heng, the tribulation aura on Hou Juan did not seem like a big deal anymore.
However, this made sense given the difference in their statuses.
With Chen Heng’s current strength and status, if he entered a great tribulation, the effect that he could cause was hard to determine.
Putting aside all else, just his position as the Flowing Cloud Sect’s Sect Master made him a person of great influence.
By now, the Flowing Cloud Sect had unified the entire Yue Kingdom, and it was the sovereign of the Yue Kingdom.
Once the Flowing Cloud Sect acted, it would affect countless creatures in the Yue Kingdom.
When that time came, the results would be quite serious.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng could not help but smile.
“A great tribulation, eh?”
Standing there and thinking about the changes in the past few decades, Chen Heng thought to himself.
Over the past few decades, the situation in the surroundings had been quite chaotic.
Outside the Yue Kingdom, the Daybreak Sect and Demon Sect were battling intensely in various kingdoms.
Both of them were incredibly powerful sects, and they were leviathans in their own rights.
The battle between the two of them would be a long one, and they would not be able to determine victory or defeat in a short amount of time.
It seemed that this situation would persist for a while.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng shook his head.
“It’s not time yet.”
In the end, he changed his mind.
As he put aside thoughts of getting involved, the tribulation aura around him left his body and vanished.
There was still black tribulation aura in the surroundings, which would occasionally rush towards Chen Heng’s body, trying to enter him and provoke him to join the great tribulation.
In his mind, there were indeed all kinds of thoughts that made him want to suppress the Daybreak Sect and Demon Sect and unify this world.
However, despite these thoughts, Chen Heng’s heart remained calm.
Human hearts were incredibly complicated, and countless thoughts could arise in a single moment.
Some were good and some were evil, but most were just chaotic.
Although ordinary people might be affected by these chaotic thoughts, Chen Heng would not be.
Now that he had reached such a cultivation, he had long since left behind such things.
Because he was not affected by these thoughts, his soul was unaffected and could make good judgments.
If one could do this, then most of the time, they would be unaffected by tribulation aura.
Often, to be able to maintain one’s rationality and not be affected by external things was quite incredible.
This was what Chen Heng had achieved.
In actuality, Chen Heng was quite interested in this great tribulation.
He had experienced many worlds, but it was the first time he had seen a great tribulation like this.
If it was under normal circumstances, he may have tried to enter it and observe.
However, given Chen Heng’s goal, he had to refuse.
It was somewhat of a pity.
“I wonder what things will be like after a few more decades,” Chen Heng thought to himself.
In the air, the tribulation aura continued to spread, and the place where most of it descended was where a certain woman was staying.
“Hou Juan, Gao Yue…” Chen Heng’s expression was calm as he said two names.
Within the Yue Kingdom, Hou Juan and Gao Yue were the two people with the most tribulation aura that Chen Heng knew about.
Apart from these two, even though others also had some tribulation aura about them, it was much weaker.
The Flowing Cloud Sect’s previous Sect Master and the Elders also had heavy tribulation aura, but even so, they could not compare to the tribulation aura around Hou Juan and Gao Yue.
Many years ago, they had been surrounded by tribulation aura, but as time went by, because of Chen Heng, the Flowing Cloud Sect had remained isolated, meaning that the tribulation aura could not cause anything.
Even if anything were to happen, it would take a very long time.
Even a seed with vigorous lifeforce would require a suitable environment and enough time to grow, and this was the case for tribulation aura as well.
The reason why tribulation aura could cause chaos was because it could tempt people towards disorder, resulting in terrifying outcomes.
If someone had flaws in their personality, then the tribulation aura’s effect on their soul would greatly amplify those flaws.
After all, it was impossible for a person not to have bad thoughts.
It was just that under normal circumstances, people would rationally suppress such thoughts.
Under the influence of tribulation aura, even though it would not make people immediately go mad, it could cause them to walk towards traps and become part of the great tribulation.
Of course, for cultivators, their souls were stronger, so simpler traps could not do much to them.
People would be able to resist the tribulation aura as long as there was no suitable environment for it to grow, and this was the case for the Yue Kingdom.
Now that the entire Yue Kingdom had been unified by Chen Heng, even though there was still a royal family, in actuality, the Yue Kingdom belonged to the Flowing Cloud Sect.
As for the royal family, they were just a decoration and did not have any actual power.
Moreover, because Chen Heng was proficient with using the Fortune Mark, he could predict what might happen in the future, so he would avoid any troubles ahead of time.
Even though there were many people in the Flowing Cloud Sect with tribulation aura, the tribulation aura had been suppressed this whole time.
Of course, Chen Heng knew that just suppressing the tribulation aura was not a solution.
Tribulation aura would not just disappear by itself, and in a sense, the more he suppressed it, the more terrifying it would be when it erupted out.
Moreover, even if he could maintain the status quo in the Yue Kingdom, he could not affect the rest of the world.
When the chaos in the outside world became more and more intense, it would affect the Yue Kingdom sooner or later.
The Flowing Cloud Sect being dragged into the great tribulation was something that was going to happen sooner or later.
Chen Heng was prepared for this, but it was not time yet.
Even though they were going to be dragged into the great tribulation sooner or later, when they were dragged into it mattered.
Only by entering during the most opportune time would they receive the greatest benefits.
In contrast, if they went in during the wrong time, they might be turned into cannon fodder.
From how Chen Heng saw it, this was not the right time to enter.
Standing behind Chen Heng, Zhang Ya looked at him and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something. However, in the end, she did not say anything and just sighed before leaving.
Chen Heng’s expression remained calm and he did not have any intent to say anything, allowing Zhang Ya to leave.
As such, Zhang Ya walked outside the spirit garden.
There, a few people were waiting.
They were a few elderly people wearing the attire of the Flowing Cloud Sect’s Elders. They all stood there, looking quite worried.
Seeing Zhang Ya walk out, their eyes lit up and hurriedly came up and began to ask her questions.
“How was it?”
“What did the Sect Master say?”
