Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 564 Danyuan Emperor

Chapter 564 Danyuan Emperor

w.a.n.g Wei always felt it was weird that none of the Profession Ancestors were Eternal Emperors since they essentially rebuilt the Myriad Emperor World's cultivation civilization.

Since Emperor Kong could receive a boost to achieve the status of Eternal Emperor, at least one of these people should have received a boost for their accomplishment.

"Qin Zhu's situation is a little complicated," replied Wu Hong as she tried to remember the detail. "Red Cauldron Empyrean was a talented pill refiner. However, she was injured in the attempt to enter the Paragon Realm. So, she decided to refine a unique pill that would not only help her heal but also help in her breakthrough."

"Wait, you don't only need to comprehend 90% of the Grand Dao Source to become a Paragon?"

"Of course not. Cultivating in the Immortal Stage is not simple, no matter the path."

"Can you give me an example?"

Wu Hong glared at him.

"I know we are going off track, but I'm curious."

"Let me think. Empyreans can create life at will, but Dao Rulers can do so as well in their Inner World; they require living beings to help them bear higher percentages of the Grand Dao Source.

"Immortal Sovereigns also have something similar to help them gather and purify Qi."

"I"m sure there is a difference between the three. Can you elaborate?"

"Don't you want to know about the Danyuan Emperor?"

"I do, but this current topic has piqued my interest."

"Whatever. Empyreans create life to help them understand the Grand Dao Source. You can think of it as an aid to shorten the time needed for cultivation."

"Even then, it stills takes yuan epochs?"

"Exactly. That's why things like merit, luck, and incense are extremely valuable in the Eternal Ascension World."

"I see. What about the others?"

"Dao Rulers can create life in their Inner World. However, these lives cannot live for long outside of the Inner World. So, most Dao Rulers will take people from the inside and place them inside their Inner Worlds instead."

"So, population is a valuable resource; that's scary," said w.a.n.g Wei.

"Indeed. Immortal Sovereigns can create something called Life Projection inside their Dantian to help manage their Immortal Mansion. Life Projection is essentially a projection of people; they are imaginary people. Inside the dantian, these people are real, but outside, they do not exist; they have no genuine [Existence]."

"I see," muttered w.a.n.g Wei. "I'm guessing they also have ways to deal with the issue?"

"Yes. They usually absorbed souls to fuel the Life Projections and compensate for their deficiencies."

w.a.n.g Wei shook his head. With these Immortals all powerful and not restrained by Karma, he could imagine the life of mortals in the upper dimension was worse than h.e.l.l.

"It's not as bad as you imagine," said Wu Hong. "Life Projections are immortal as long as their creator is alive. So, many people voluntarily offer their souls since this is another form of achieving immortality.

"As for the people entering Dao Ruler's Inner World, it is also a way of safety and living a peaceful life."

w.a.n.g Wei nodded. "Alright, you can tell me about Qin Zhu. I did not even know that was the Danyuan Emperor's real name."

"Where was I? Yes, Red Cauldron Empyrean. The final step for her refinement was for the pill to gain sentience and experience Samsara. However, one of her rivals, Steel Cauldron Empyrean, learned of her action and interfered with the pill's reincarnation.

"He made the pill aware of its creator and its ultimate fate. And as you can guess, that pill was the Danyuan Emperor."

"That could explain his talent for the pill," added w.a.n.g Wei. "So, what happened next?"

"Qin Zhu immediately ran to the lower dimension and even entered reincarnation again to hide from Red Cauldron. After being reborn in the Myriad Emperor World, he proved the Dao and became an Eternal Emperor.

"I guess he planned to hide his status in case Red Cauldron decided to kill him one day but was unaware of his status as an Eternal, and he could secretly revive. So, he erased this information from history and left some subtle means to prevent anyone from deducing the truth."

"From your tone, I'm guessing his plan did not work."

"Yes. By the time he ascended, Red Cauldron Empyrean had a fortunate encounter that allowed her to become a Paragon. However, her soul was incomplete because she used a part of it to refine that pill."

"So, was the final fate of the Danyuan Emperor being absorbed?"

"No. He was smart and quickly ran into Primordial Chaos, traveling to other Chaos Worlds to hide. By the time he returned to the Eternal Ascension World, he was already a Boundless Paragon."

"So, he dealt with Red Cauldron?"

w.a.n.g Wei guessed it would not be much of a battle between a normal Paragon and a Boundless one. However, he was unsure since he was not knowledgeable on the topic.

"No," replied Wu Hong. "They became Dao Companions."

"Enemies to lovers? I did not see that coming."

"Most people did not. However, the two became a famous Pill Refining Couple. I've bought many pills from them and even learned about runes from the Danyuan Emperor."

w.a.n.g Wei briefly a.n.a.lyzed the information he had just received.

"I've theorized that material alchemy should have become the mainstream in the Myriad Emperor World. Did the Danyuan Emperor learn of Divine Rune Alchemy in the Upper Dimension?"

"He got the idea from there, but he did not directly bring it from there; the divine runes he created were based on the laws of the Myriad Emperor World."

"Do you think he spread it to other World Communities?"

"Probably to a few. I guess he did not want to be too much in the limelight. So, if he did, probably only a few instead of the entire Endless Void."

"That makes sense. What about the other Profession Ancestors? Where they also Eternal Emperors?"

"No."

"Why not? With their accomplishment, the destiny of that time, I don't see why Heavenly Dao would not give them a boost."

"The Talisman and Weapon Ancestors were very arrogant individuals. They refused Heavenly Dao's aid and only became Pseudo Eternal Emperors. The Formation Emperor only became a Pseudo Eternal Emperor because of the boost."

"What about my Ancestor? Did he rely on merit?"

"No, he relied on himself."

"But, he did receive a lot of merits?"

"Yes, which helped him cultivate faster than most people in the Immortal Stage. The same for the Sword Empress."

"That makes sense. Heavenly Dao that has emotion will break the principle of balance that they should operate. So, removing their emotions and even ensuring they could no longer have emotions would grant her a lot of merits," a.n.a.lyzed w.a.n.g Wei.

From what he knew from the Sword Empress, her power existed to this day, preventing any Heavenly Dao from acquiring emotion and intelligence in the entire lower dimension.

"I'm guessing it was the same for you as well? After you dealt with the devil race?"

"Yes."

Suddenly, w.a.n.g Wei thought of something and asked: "Was there an Ultimate Glorious Age during your time as well?"

"What's that?"

"When a glorious age occurred throughout the Endless Void, with unparalleled geniuses appearing everywhere." He also told her about his theory

Wu Hong paused for a moment, "Now that you mention it, it was indeed like that. The Devil Race had conquered more than 95% of the Endless Void, but it was on the decline during my period.

"When I traveled to other World Communities, I met numerous genius that could be considered the Sons/Daughters of an Era and had unparalleled talents. They probably resulted from Heavenly Dao revolting against the devil race."

Wu Hong remembered the time she left the Myriad Emperor World with great fondness. She met many talented individuals, defeated many, and became friends with a few.

That specific period was the first time in her life she felt free, not having to worry about being constantly hunted down. It was when she built her confidence since she no longer had to always hear that it was her honor to be desired by the Devil Prince.

She also no longer felt the weight of the world crus.h.i.+ng her. As she witnessed the suffering of various races throughout the Endless Void, she no longer felt her mission as a Daughter of Destiny was a burden but a choice she consciously made. It also helped to know she was not alone.

"I remember this kid who was collecting Absolute Chaos Physique, proclaiming that he would create the greatest body refining scripture of all time," she said with a brilliant smile.

"Did you meet anyone with the Nine Extremity Foundation?" said w.a.n.g Wei after momentarily being enamored by that smile.

Wu Hong slightly frowned as some memories she could not previously remember suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Beside me, there was none."

"You also had this foundation?"

"Not exactly. After I defeated Di Tian's reincarnation, I sealed his foundation and absorbed it as my own before taking the [Heaven Will]. Later, after I ascended, I learned I had a pseudo-incomplete Nine Extremity Foundation. So, I hunted an Eternal Emperor with a complete one to perfect mine."

w.a.n.g Wei gave her a thumbs up; he did not expect less from her.

"Now that we are on the subject, what happened to the Absolute Beginning Emperor? You said he was in Limbo, implying someone killed him?"
