Chapter 5215: Chishui’s Doubts

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wanderer Chishui, who had consistently ranked at the bottom among the tier 4 Emperors, always felt a thorn in his heart, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Now, even many ordinary tier 4 Emperors had surpa.s.sed him, which made him even more anxious.

Clearly, he was the darling of the universe’s origin source, so why had he fallen so far behind now?

Although the other Emperors who had succeeded in the Dao merge weren’t as strong as he was, they weren’t slow either!

This made him very frustrated.

The opportunity was right in front of him, but in the end, he failed.

“d.a.m.n it, why is this origin source rejecting me!” Chishui cursed under his breath after understanding the reason. It wasn’t that he hadn’t tried hard enough, but this origin source had rejected him from the very beginning.

What on earth was going on?

Chishui was puzzled. Why was he the only one being rejected? If it was rejecting Special Life Forms, then those other Special Life Forms shouldn’t be progressing so quickly either!

Special Life Forms among the tier 3 Emperors were now second only to Wuliang Buddha, having traversed 900 feet.

In terms of strength, he were considered top-tier among the tier 4 Emperors. So, how did he end up at the tail end of the tier 4 Emperors?

He was a tier 4 Emperor with a 1,000-fold divine body. Even if this origin source rejected him, he shouldn’t be progressing so slowly!

Chishui, unable to understand the reason, sighed deeply. He could only stop and continue walking forward with great effort; pus.h.i.+ng further was too strenuous. Although he could grit his teeth and take a few more steps, the more he advanced, the harder it became. He had to resist the rejecting force while the effects of cultivation were not as good as they were here.

In the entire group, except for Chishui and some weaker Emperors, everyone else continued to move forward without stopping.

Some tier 2 Emperors even cultivated tor a while, stood up, and aimed to break through the distance of 500 feet. This made Chishui even more uncomfortable. He could only close his eyes and contemplate the Great Dao, trying to find solace.

The deeper they comprehended, the further they would go. The path they were walking now was only temporary.

They were unaware that hundreds of illusory tier 4 Emperors had gathered on the mountainside, eagerly antic.i.p.ating these delectable food.

Meanwhile, within the Original Realm, the Grand Yan Immortals faced a bottleneck.

The weaker ones among them retreated into the mountains, having resigned themselves to their fate. They wouldn’t waste their lives fighting for the top 10,000 spots anymore.

Now, the struggle remained among tens of thousands of Grand Yan Immortals. Although the Original Planet wasn’t exceptionally large, it took a year to travel around its circ.u.mference.

Of course, this was the speed for ordinary Perfected Nine Revolutions cultivators. Peak experts among the Nine Revolutions could circle it in just a month. In desperate situations, they could even complete the circuit in a single day.

However, no one would do that during normal hunting.

Especially at this time, many experts on the Original Planet had started to enter seclusion. This was because it was very difficult to see a Grand Yan Immortal in the mountain range or on the continent. The rankings had completely solidified.

When the Qishen Temple allocated resources, they did so with care. They didn’t a.s.sign all the Perfected Nine Revolutions experts to a single Original Planet. If they did, the screening quality for the other Original Planets would plummet.

Under Zhu Yi’s control, even the strongest Original Planet had only two half-step Emperors. This was to put pressure on the other half-step Emperor and encourage them to vie for the top position.

There were no half-step Imperial Emperors on weak Original Planets. For example, the Original Planet that Jian Wushuang was on only had five Dao Lords. There were no half-step Imperial Emperors.

According to the rankings on the Universe Deity-Demon List, among the top 200 Grand Yan Immortals on the Earth Ranking, there were half-step Emperors. Those ranked from 1,000 to 200 were 800 Dao Lords.

his selection process wasn’t just about the top 1,000; it was more about those Grand Yan Immortals who were initially weak. In this inferno, they had the chance to gradually break through. Even if they didn’t reach the level of Dao Lords, the Qishen Temple would eventually choose them.

This was also why the Qishen Temple had established special rewards for cross-level battles.

The Qishen Temple sought not just the strongest but those who combined potential and willpower, achieving the unity of both—a cosmic genius. To be the strongest meant to be at the half-step Emperor level. But if one could step beyond that and match the might of an Emperor, the Qishen Temple would take notice, considering them as a potential candidate.

However, this threshold was exceedingly high. Among the 108 Original

Planets, very few possessed such potential. Even among the 36 Original Planets in the Eastern Domain, those designated as top seeds could only suppress half-step Emperors, far from equaling their strength.

Those Grand Yan Immortals who could match the power of Emperors were truly invincible. They could confront tier 1 Emperors, making all those beneath Emperors pale in comparison.

The t.i.tle of top seed was just a temporary designation by Zhu Yi, part of the first round of trials. Many promising Grand Yan Immortals had yet to fully mature. Like ‘Hu Qing from the Original Planet Alpha Nine, even True Spirit placed high hopes on him, foreseeing his great achievements. They were willing to alter the rules and bestow a heritage upon him.

This heritage announcement caused a storm on Original Planet Alpha Nine, which had been relatively calm. Hu Qings presence gathered all the strong beings from the entire continent outside his protective barrier.

The Five Dao Lords arrived, followed closely by the first prodigy of the Ji Clan, ‘Ji Chaoyang, the only one who could rival a Dao Lord. His power was immense, and his background was formidable. He roamed the entire continent, hunting and killing everywhere.

The seventh-ranked monk, ‘Hu Qing, was currently inside the barrier, while the other top ten contenders observed from outside, waiting patiently.

Those strong beings ranked below Hu Qing were still somewhat accepting of the situation, but the top six, each one of them, were seething with jealousy, wis.h.i.+ng they could re-enter the barrier and defeat Hu Qing, claiming the heritage for themselves.

However, they were helpless, forced to watch as Hu Qings aura climbed step by step.

At this moment, the continent had never been so united. Everyone waited outside the barrier, with no one daring to act recklessly. The Five Dao Lords were present, deterring any rash actions.

Contrary to the outsiders’ expectations, Hu Qings situation inside the barrier was far from ideal. He was in a precarious position, with the possibility of falling into the abyss with one wrong move.

The heritage had been personally bestowed by True Spirit, making it incredibly precious. Yet. the danger of accepting this heritage was terrifyingly Currently, it wasn’t just the external Grand Yan Immortals observing; even

Zhu Yi and the True Spirit were watching this fusion of inheritances closely.

Zhu Yi e s orders were clear: as soon as Hu Qing completed the inheritance, the next phase of the trial on the Original Planet would commence, and the inheritance hall would be opened. However, it seemed that Hu Qings successful acceptance of this complete inheritance was incredibly challenging, even with a looming threat of demise.

From its exterior, she couldn’t discern the origin of this inheritance. However, sensing the contained aura, she was certain it was an ancient and potent technique. What specific field it belonged to, though, she couldn’t determine..
