Chapter 500 Immortal Sovereign

w.a.n.g Wucheng looked at Li Wen for a moment, and they communicated with their eyes before saying: "There is a significant advantage of the Immortal Path over the others: the time needed to cultivate.

"Although it also takes billions of years, it is not as bad as Yuan Epochs that the others have to spend. Additionally, the Immortal Path can be forcefully cultivated to a higher realm with enough resources."

"Wait, you don't mean...."

"Exactly. One way to counter the overwhelming power of Eternal Emperors is to cultivate an 11th Tier Immortal Sovereign Realm cultivator."

w.a.n.g Wucheng paused to give him time to process this information. w.a.n.g Wei knew that Dao Ruler Realm was after Dao Ancestor and, finally, Dao Monarch.

When it comes to Immortal Venerable, it goes Immortal Sovereign Realm, followed by Immortal King.

"So, our sect has this level of powerhouse? Then, some other sects should too?" asked w.a.n.g Wei.

w.a.n.g Wucheng looked in the distance and sighed aloud: "They used to."

"Used to? As in, they're dead?"

"Yes."

"All of them?"

"That's right."

"How come?"

"History is more complicated than you can imagine. During both the Incense and Devil Era, a few Eternal Emperors showed up, threatening to destroy the balance of the world.

"These Eternal Emperors always target the Emperor Lineages with Eternal Emperors as their foundation."

w.a.n.g Wei understood that the Immortal Sovereign should have dealt with these Eternal Emperors and completely erased them from history. And unfortunately, many probably died in the process.

"Are Eternal Emperors so powerful that a Tier 11 Powerhouse is needed to eliminate them?"

w.a.n.g Wucheng sighed but did not answer. The laws of the Lower Dimension favor the Emperor Path above all the others, hence why even Immortal Sovereigns are so powerless in front of Eternal Emperors.

In the Upper Dimension, there are too many ways or opportunities for the other Paths to make up the gap. Furthermore, all Emperorsincluding Eternalswould have to show their respect to an Immortal Sovereign because the gap in each Tier above the 10th is truly tremendous and is significantly more evident in that environment.

After seeing Ancestor Wucheng not answer, w.a.n.g Wei hurried to ask another question; he knew these old monsters could suddenly use some excuse he was not strong enough to end the conversation and not reveal more information.

"They could not all be dead, right?"

"The last Immortal Sovereign of the Myriad Emperor World died during the Heaven Devouring Emperor's Catastrophe."

"Wait, I thought Eternal Emperors were almost unkillable. Does that mean Immortal Sovereign Powerhouses have a way to erase them from existence?"

"No, but Eternal Emperor Lineages have unique artifacts with the power of Dao Will. Using them, it is possible to kill some Eternal Emperors completely. Unfortunately, because of the laws of the lower dimensions, these artifacts all have a specific number of times they can be used.

"Afterward, they will disappear on their own."

w.a.n.g Wei nodded as he could deduce a few other pieces of information based on this conversation. For example, there may have been a few other Eternal Emperor Lineages in the Myriad Emperor World, but they have been extinguished in one of the many catastrophes that ravaged this plane.

As such, most information about these Lineages has been wiped out along with their Eternal Emperors. Or some of them might have had an Eternal Emperor, but once the latter was erased from history, his sect or descendant won't even remember their founder or Ancestor was one.

w.a.n.g Wei sighed, thinking how complex the cultivation world was. Suddenly, he remembered a question he had wanted to ask for some time but forgot.

"I once saw a World Community that used Great Thousand Worlds as a way to basically farm Dao Ancestors. Why doesn't our sect, or any other sects in the Myriad Emperor World, do the same?" asked w.a.n.g Wei.

w.a.n.g Wucheng immediately sneered after hearing this. "These people are doing nothing but ruining their sect's Qi Luck and creating tribulations for themselves."

"What do you mean?" Although w.a.n.g Wei had a vague guess, it was best to get the answer from an expert.

"Immortal Tier cultivators are not entirely immune to Karma. So, doing something like that, which involves sacrificing trillions upon trillions of mortals, generations after generations, will create Karmic Debtsdebts that will cause Karmic Tribulations.

"A perfect example of this law was during the Incense and Devil Era. Both the Buddhist Sect and the Devil race used to do the same. But their final result? Their eventual extinction. Of course, you could argue this was only one of the many reasons for these factions' downfall."

"I imagine that the issue of restraining these wild Dao Ancestors is an issue as well," added w.a.n.g Wei.

"That's right. Just like what happened to the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Dao Path cultivators created using this method are hard to restrain. Any oaths or soul contracts signed before they ascend to immortality can be removed after a while and with the right method. So, most of them end up leaving to pursue a better cultivation environment."

"But that doesn't explain why other sects don't do it. I'm sure some people could not resist the temptation?" asked w.a.n.g Wei.

w.a.n.g Wucheng sighed heavily. "The sad truth is the Myriad Emperor World has been going downhill in terms of development for a long time. Era-changing catastrophes after another have made most sects conservative, scared even to explore the Endless Void.

"This is the reason that all of us have mostly severe contact with other World Communities, and even contact with the Lower Realm. So, I'm sure some sects are secretly doing what you mention, but I doubt many of them are."

w.a.n.g Wucheng then looked directly into w.a.n.g Wei's eyes: "Do you know why we're telling you all this?"

"I do."

"Why?"

"First, do not be too complacent about my strength and let it get over my head," said w.a.n.g Wei as he looked at Li Wen with gritted teeth, making the latter smile like a man who takes pleasure in taking candy from babies.

"Two, when I become an Eternal Emperor, I must find a way to develop the Myriad Emperor Realm. Finally, and more importantly, before I leave, I must find a way to cultivate an Immortal Sovereign for the sect's safety."

"I'm glad you understand," replied w.a.n.g Wucheng before handing out a token to him.

"You can use this token to contact me if you need something. Additionally, it will increase your status and resources in the sect without taking most of these trials."

w.a.n.g Wei's eyes lit up after hearing this. Then, he quickly told w.a.n.g Wucheng about the Nine Incarnations he wanted to cultivate. After hearing him, w.a.n.g Wucheng's lisps almost twitch, then he said:

"Go ask your father regarding the issue of resources. However, some Great Thousand Worlds have Immortal-Tier powerhouses secretly hiding. I will give you a protective talisman and one that can detect their existence.

"It's best if you avoid these worlds for your incarnations. Lastly, be mindful of these worlds' Heavenly Dao. It's best if you can temporarily seal them or hide your incarnations from them."

After saying that, w.a.n.g Wucheng remembered something and gave w.a.n.g Wei a booklet and sent him away. Once alone, w.a.n.g Wucheng spoke out loud: "What do you think?"

"This kid is already a monster. If he succeeds, I can't imagine how terrifying he will be."

"True, but his actions only allows him to catch up with the Di Clan's heir."

"We all know he is an anomaly. I'm pretty sure he is older than many of us," replied the voice.

"With such a foundation, I cannot imagine how powerful an Eternal Emperor he will become."

The voice paused for a moment, "Do you think this kid's the one the founders are waiting for?"

"I don't know if he is the one, but I'm sure he can help them out of their situation one day."

"In that case, let's open that trial for him."

"Isn't that a little risky?"

"According to their instructions, we can only open it to someone extremely talented and with ample luck. And this kid fit the description. As for the risk, it's worth it."

w.a.n.g Wucheng pondered for a moment and said: "Let's wait until he reaches Quasi-Emperor Realm. That way, he can benefit the most, and we can observe further."

The voice agreed with him. In the last generation, they thought w.a.n.g Tian fit the description. However, when the Path of Supreme was cut off, they understood w.a.n.g Tian was lacking in the luck department, so he never got access to that trial.

So, the voice also wants to observe w.a.n.g Wei further and see if something unexpected will happen to him.

Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Weiwho appeared in the sky of the sectlooked at the t.i.tle of the book in his hand:

[A Possible Explanation of the Vast Difference Between Mortals and Immortals.]

He thought it was a cultivation method; however, it appears it was a scholarly article about cultivation to open his mind. w.a.n.g Wei was not disappointed since he already had too many cultivation techniques.

However, he did not care about this book right now. He rushed home to enter a land of bliss, l.u.s.t, and depravity with his wife. Everything else can wait.
