Although the banquet ended badly, everyone knew that the war was not over yet.

The Dos people have not yet been eliminated, and the Empress will certainly take action as well.

Next, they might have to go to war with the Empress head-on.

Now is not the time to cause internal strife. Lin Mo, as the top leader, has already made his position clear, so everyone can only choose to temporarily forget about this matter and discuss what to do next.

However, because of this incident, irreconcilable conflicts have arisen between Bai Qi and the generals, as well as Lin Mo.

Although they appear to be on good terms, Lin Mo knows that this is only because of his feelings and because of their sense of right and wrong and their focus on the greater good.

The man-made flash flood claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Dossi allied soldiers, leaving the Dossi people unable to fight any longer.

Therefore, Lin Mo also planned to send him out to wipe out the remaining forces of Dos once Tianshui City had stabilized somewhat.

On the one hand, it was to achieve something, and on the other hand, it was to protect him.

The most urgent problem to solve right now is Xu Chu!

He was taken to his room.

"Sit down!" Lin Mo said.

Xu Chu, like a proud little fairy, resolutely refused.

"We need to use some special methods to deal with this simpleton, otherwise we'll never be able to handle him!"

Then Lin Mo's eyes lit up and he came up with a good idea.

"Xu Chu, I've always had high hopes for you!" Lin Mo said. "It's a pity you're so oblivious."

"What? What?" Xu Chu was completely confused.

As Xu Chu spoke, he quickly approached Lin Mo's side, "My lord, what do you mean?"

"Don't rush, let me explain!" Lin Mo slowly poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it carefully. "Xu Chu, do you remember what I told you before?"

"Which one?" Xu Chu asked, puzzled.

Lin Mo smiled mysteriously, "It's about you becoming an immortal!"

Xu Chu was even more confused upon hearing this. "What's going on?"

Seeing this, Lin Mo's lips curled up slightly, and he said, "Have you heard of the Tribulation?"

"???" Xu Chu shook his head.

"That's why you're so clueless!" Lin Mo said. "The so-called tribulation is an inevitable stage for every cultivator, and it is also the greatest challenge in the cultivation career."

The so-called "Nascent Soul" is easy to cultivate, while the "Tribulation" is easy to perish, because the cycle of birth and death is a natural principle.

Cultivating immortality is a process that goes against the laws of nature. Heaven will send down tribulations, and only by overcoming these tribulations can one continue cultivating. Among all tribulations, the highest level is called the Heavenly Tribulation.

Tribulations can be categorized into many types, such as fire tribulations, lightning tribulations, and tribulations involving being cut into a thousand pieces.

And there's the Buddha, have you heard of him?

The reason he was able to become an immortal was because he cut off his own flesh to feed the eagle and sacrificed himself to throw himself into the tiger's clutches.

Lin Mo's serious-sounding nonsense left Xu Chu completely bewildered.

"Then, my lord, what do all this have to do with me?"

"It's very relevant!" Lin Mo said. "My Fan Kuai, you want to join the ranks of immortals, right? To become an immortal, you definitely need to undergo tribulation! Bai Qi, on the surface, is trying to trick you, but actually, he's helping you overcome your tribulation!"

Xu Chu, “…”

"No way, my lord!" Xu Chu said in disbelief.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Lin Mo continued, "Think about it, such a huge flash flood, so many people died, why didn't you die? Do you have something that they don't? Doesn't that prove that I'm helping you overcome your tribulation?"

Xu Chu was completely stunned. "Is it true? Then this humble servant has achieved immortality?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but grin, "Almost there!"

"Huh?" Xu Chu was immediately taken aback. "What's missing?"

"Enlightenment!" Lin Mo said solemnly, "To become a supreme Golden Immortal, one must first purify the six senses, be free from desires and wants, and have no distracting thoughts or hatred in one's heart. For this, you must let go of everything in your heart..."

"Is it to tell this subordinate not to hate Bai Qi?" Xu Chu finally understood.

"My Fan Kuai, your potential is quite good!" Lin Mo praised. "As for whether you can truly comprehend the Dao, that depends on yourself!"

"My lord, this is too difficult!" Xu Chu said, "That scoundrel Bai Qi, he wants to harm me!"

"Enlightenment, enlightenment!" Lin Mo repeated. "Xu Chu, I have very high hopes for you!"

Xu Chu frowned. "This subordinate will give it a try!" After saying that, he closed his eyes and tried to let go of his hatred.

After a long while, Xu Chu opened his eyes and said, "My lord, I don't think I hate him that much anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately burst into laughter, "You've attained enlightenment so quickly?" He said, "Then, can you see this object before me?"

Xu Chu looked closely and saw two exquisitely crafted double axes on the table, each round like a peach with a pit shaped like a child.

"My lord... what is this?"

"My Fan Kuai, this is the Pangu Axe that split the heavens and earth!" Lin Mo said, "Only when you attain enlightenment can you see it!"

The truth is that Lin Mo redeemed these two axes from the system using points.

The highest-end weapon in the Tier 2 shop costs 300 points.

If Xu Chu could say "Holy crap!", he would definitely say it several times.

"My lord, it's true!" He hurriedly picked up the two "Pangu's Heaven-Opening Axe," as excited as a child.

"Well? I wouldn't have lied to you, would I?" Lin Mo asked. "Now, have you completely let go of your hatred?"

"My lord, it's just a little bit short!" Xu Chu answered honestly.

"Then what are you thinking about? Continue your enlightenment!"

"Alright!" Xu Chu immediately closed his eyes and continued his "comprehension"!

A short while later, when he opened his eyes, they were numb again.

"My lord? And this is yet another one?"
