Bai Zihan stood before him, gaze calm yet piercing.
For a moment, he said nothing.
Chong Sheng clenched his jaw slightly but said nothing either.
Then Bai Zihan finally spoke.
"Tell me," he said casually, as if asking about something trivial, "how much do you know about Heavenly Tribulation?"
Chong Sheng blinked.
That… was not what he expected.
Of all the things Bai Zihan could ask—
This?
His brows furrowed slightly, but after a brief pause, he answered.
"As far as I know, anyone who tries to break through to the Immortal Realm has to face it."
He shifted slightly, wincing from the pain.
"A test from Heaven. If you pass, you ascend."
"If you fail…"
He let out a faint breath.
"You die!"
His eyes flickered faintly.
"That's all there is to it."
He told the most common knowledge there was.
There were a few things that someone at the level of a Supreme Immortal would know, but he didn't think they needed to be mentioned.
Silence followed.
