Chapter 250: Emperor Road (Another Chapter Update)
In a magnificent palace of the Celestial Court, numerous strong individuals offered up their Dao Fruits, causing them to radiate the Great Dao's brilliance and reveal the profound mysteries of their own Great Dao.
Profound and ultimate Dao sounds emanated from these Dao Fruits, expounding upon the mysteries of their respective Great Daos.
Of course, at the beginning, not everyone released their Dao Fruits, because for the cultivators of Emperor Zun's World, the Dao Fruit was the fundamental object. If the Dao Fruit was destroyed, they would be finished.
However, it was different for the cultivators on Ye Fan's side. The Dao Fruit was merely an external manifestation of their cultivation attainments and would not harm their foundation.
But as time passed, they saw the astonishing growth in the Dao 행 of their fellow cultivators, and after confirming there was no real danger, they couldn't hold back either. They all offered up their Dao Fruits and joined the discussion.
Of course, although it was called a discussion, in reality, not many people could truly participate.
In the beginning, Dao Lords and Tian Zuns could still mix in, but after only two days, they were completely bewildered; it had completely exceeded their understanding.
Soon, someone came to lead them to the true foundation worlds to communicate with strong individuals of similar levels.
In the end, only Jiangnan, Ye Lin, Qing Lian, Primordial Mother, Bukong, and Gong Zhigan were truly discussing the Dao with the strong individuals of the Celestial Court.
Although Tian Zuns were in the same realm as Dao Lords, there was an essential difference. Their strength and Dao 행 were not on the same level.
Wu Shi Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit hung in the air, fully manifesting his own profound mysteries of beginningless and endless. One could see that within the perfect Great Dao's radiance, a Dao Sea was being born at every moment.
He did not conceal the profound mysteries of his Great Dao at all.
"Is this a Road's End Immortal Emperor?" Jiangnan's eyes revealed surprise as he looked at the scene appearing within Wu Shi's Dao Fruit.
Innumerable Great Daos simultaneously evolved, giving birth to countless Dao Seas. Then, the infinite Dao Seas converged into a single point, transforming into a Dao Sea that was countless times stronger than the previous countless Dao Seas. As this Dao Sea was born, endless Dao Seas of the same level were born along with it. Then, these Dao Seas of the same level were once again gathered into a stronger Dao Sea, and then endless Dao Seas of the same level appeared again...
The Dao Seas were infinite, endless Dao Seas appeared, and were then merged to become stronger Dao Seas. This was an endless cycle...
It was in this way that an Immortal Emperor who surpassed their own Dao was born.
If Fang Ming were here and saw this scene, he would definitely be able to make some connections.
Ye Lin, Qing Lian, and Bukong were even more shocked. Their mid-term goal was merely to cultivate one Dao Sea, yet this person's Dao Fruit contained unimaginable Dao Seas.
Such a quantity of Dao Seas could no longer be described by numbers. No wonder they would eventually surpass their own Dao and form their own Dao!
Such a Dao 행 was not just a little higher, but infinitely higher.
The other strong individuals of the two great Celestial Courts also offered up their respective Dao Fruits. They were not Immortal Emperors, and their Dao Fruits did not have that sense of being complete and perfect.
Even if there were Dao Seas evolving within them, and some even had more than one Dao Sea, as long as they could not expand endlessly and without limit, they could not become Immortal Emperors.
A hundred years later, Primordial Mother put away her Dao Fruit, stood up, bowed to Wu Shi, and walked to the side, listening attentively to the Dao sound.
During the discussion just now, everything she heard was a certain Dao evolution similar to her own Great Dao, which gave her a clear direction for the path ahead.
Originally, she had little confidence in cultivating a Dao Sea, but now she had considerable confidence.
Another hundred years passed. Except for Jiangnan, the other Tian Zuns each put away their Dao Fruits and also stood to the side.
The few of them had gained a great deal, especially Ye Lin, who was already very close to the end of the Great Dao he had previously envisioned.
However, two hundred years passed, and Jiangnan's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the realm of Dao Lord Great Perfection at an unimaginable speed, and his strength was even above the others.
Another two hundred years passed, and Jiangnan also put away his Dao Fruit. He stood up, cupped his hands, and bowed.
The Great Dao of Primordial Beginning was not truly complete, so it was impossible to discuss it with an Immortal Emperor.
But if it were complete, based on the characteristics of the Great Dao of Primordial Beginning and the scene reflected by the Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit just now, it would likely be possible to discuss it infinitely.
Similarly, Wu Shi also cupped his hands and returned the bow. Experiencing completely different cultivation civilizations and completely different Daos was of great benefit to him, allowing his Immortal Emperor's foundation to become even stronger and his Dao 행 to grow more rapidly.
After a discussion, the Celestial Court arranged them in two massive palaces. Except for some special areas, their range of activity was not restricted.
In the main hall of one of the palaces, the numerous strong individuals of Jiangnan's faction gathered here.
"This time, we've really broadened our horizons. It just feels like I've lived for over a hundred billion years in vain..." Gong Zhigan muttered softly while drinking tea.
Although he saw the path ahead, he didn't seem very happy.
Primordial Mother rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Alright, you've gotten a bargain and you're still acting coy. Stop feeling guilty all the time. If you have the ability, cultivate to become an Immortal Emperor and directly project the Primordial Dao Era in the future."
Gong Zhigan was choked by a sentence and immediately shrank back. Although he had no confidence, it didn't matter, wasn't his close friend still here!
He looked at Jiangnan and asked, "Emperor Jiang, you are already at Dao Lord Great Perfection. Do you have any ideas on how to become Primordial?"
From Jiangnan's words, he already knew that Primordial was roughly on the same level as an Immortal Emperor. By simply changing his mindset, he could possess the various abilities of an Immortal Emperor.
But for them, Dao Lord Perfection was just the beginning. Too many people were stuck here.
Jiangnan smiled confidently and said, "Originally, I planned to wait for my own tribulation of annihilation to arrive, refine my final tribulation of annihilation and give it a shot. But after seeing how that Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit evolved, I have some ideas."
"Perhaps I don't need to wait that long," Jiangnan said with a confident smile. "It might take tens of millions of years at most, or as short as a million years, for me to succeed. It might even be faster."
"That fast?" Gong Zhigan and Primordial Mother were very surprised.
The final tribulation of annihilation for the Immortal Dao Era was still at least two billion years away. They thought Jiangnan would need at least hundreds of millions of years.
"It's naturally fast after gaining enlightenment," Jiangnan said with a smile.
Different cultivation systems lead to different speeds of Dao 행 improvement. Some systems can reach unimaginable levels in tens of thousands of years, while others are very slow.
"However, this time I owe a great debt of gratitude," Jiangnan then said with a wry smile.
This was a transmission of Dao without any reservations, which was extraordinary.
He didn't even know how he could repay such a debt of gratitude in the future, although it seemed that the other party was not the kind of person who would seek repayment for kindness.
But owing favors like this truly made him uneasy.
"However, this foreign Celestial Court also has great enemies outside. When my cultivation is greatly achieved in the future, I can help them, which can repay some of the debt," this thought arose in Jiangnan's mind.
"Moreover, my Great Dao of Primordial Beginning is different. It encompasses the known and the unknown, the possible and the impossible Great Daos, equivalent to the main body of the Supreme Dao. Although Immortal Emperors form their own Dao, the number of Great Daos they contain is also infinite, but the magnitude may not be as high as mine!" Jiangnan's eyes flickered, and he whispered, "Although Immortal Emperors form their own Dao, because they do not contain all Great Daos, they should still have some intersection with some Daos."
"But I am different. Theoretically speaking, after cultivating to Primordial and then forming my own Dao, I will truly be tangent to the original Supreme Dao, without intersection. Relatively speaking, it will only be stronger," Jiangnan said with extreme confidence.
After years of contemplation, he finally understood the difference between the two concepts and what kind of achievements he would have after his own path reached its end and then transformed.
Another six hundred years passed, and the numerous strong individuals who came from Emperor Zun's World to exchange returned to their original Worlds.
They had gained a great deal from this trip. Under normal circumstances, most people would not gain as much even if they cultivated for tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of years, as they did from this exchange. They needed to go back into seclusion to digest what they had gained.
On the other side was the foundation World where Shi Hao's Celestial Court was located. Fang Ming and Ye Fan were both here.
At their realm, restoring themselves naturally did not require meditation and cultivation; they could recover naturally.
"How does the taste of the Soul River's origin feel?" Shi Hao looked at Fang Ming with a smile.
Not long ago, after projecting the Upper Realm, Shi Hao and Ye Fan found Fang Ming. They planned to test and provoke the Weird Clan to see how much courage they still had.
Since the Weird Clan's Immortal Emperors were timid, he was going to strike hard.
It just so happened that Liu Shen had also successfully broken through and become a true Dao Ancestor Quasi-Immortal Emperor!
Thus, the Soul River became his target. The Soul River controlled a portion of the Reincarnation authority and held a very important position within the Weird Clan.
Under Shi Hao's deliberate influence, Shi Hao's Shi Hao's in this timeline unleashed its power, and together with Liu Shen, they shattered all the Quasi-Immortal Emperors of the Soul River and completely suppressed the Soul River's origin.
Since the Soul River's origin was suppressed, it naturally benefited Fang Ming, as he was not far from becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
However, the origin of a vast Great World was slightly insufficient and failed to allow him to completely cross that threshold.
Fang Ming's manifested figure smiled and retorted, "With your personality, I don't believe you haven't tried it!"
"Haven't I not cultivated your All Heavens World system? Perhaps after cultivating your system, eating this stuff will have a different taste!" Shi Hao said with considerable interest.
Under normal circumstances, walking someone else's path has a ceiling suppression, making it impossible to break through that constraint. However, these beings who have already become Immortal Emperors are different.
They have already walked their own path to the end and cultivated the strongest Dao Fruit, which can be used to help the second Dao Fruit break through.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, for the second, third, and subsequent Dao Fruits, they can cultivate systems created by others to achieve Immortal Emperor status.
Of course, there is also a considerable possibility for Quasi-Immortal Emperors who create their own systems to do such a thing.
"There's no taste at all, it's not delicious at all!" Fang Ming glared and said, "Don't cultivate my system. You'll definitely become an Immortal Emperor faster than me. By then, you'll become the road's end for this system, and I won't be able to become an Immortal Emperor."
"Haha..." Shi Hao laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, I've already decided. My second Dao Fruit body will still be cultivated using the Secret Realm method."
"The system is the manifestation, the core is still the inner Dao. Don't be fixated on the manifestation," he continued to explain further without waiting for Fang Ming to ask.
"It's a pity. A few years ago, when we suppressed the Soul River, the Weird Clan's Immortal Emperors were timid again. Otherwise, Fellow Daoist would definitely have improved again," Ye Fan's voice sounded with regret.
A few years ago, they completely defeated the Soul River, but the Weird Clan's Immortal Emperors were actually timid.
They didn't dare to descend in their true forms, only exerting influence from across infinite Time, allowing a few Quasi-Immortal Emperors to descend from that Ertu.
The Plateau of Disaster was much more bizarre than the Soul River. That area had hidden connections with the countless universes of the All Heavens, and most of the passages and ancient roads within were only controlled by the Weird Clan.
If that Immortal Emperor dared to descend in his true form, they would dare to intercept him from across space, strike him down into eternal silence, and incidentally strip away his Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit.
"They are truly afraid!" Shi Hao smiled leisurely. At present, the balance of victory had tilted towards them.
Fang Ming looked at Shi Hao and Ye Fan and said, "Since we have the advantage here, shouldn't we consider the matter of the other Time?"
Shi Hao, however, showed a troubled expression and said, "To be honest, I really haven't figured out what to say when I meet the other me."
"I don't have any concerns. Since we can't do anything about them here for the time being, we might as well go there and give the Weird Clan a surprise," Ye Fan was relatively calm.
Hearing about the Weird Clan, Shi Hao's eyes suddenly lit up. He hated the Weird Clan deeply and immediately said, "Let's go!"
In a single thought, they arrived in another Time.
"I'll go to the Plateau of Disaster to find the other..." Shi Hao's words were only halfway through when he suddenly stopped, a look of confusion appearing on his handsome face.
Not only him, but Ye Fan also showed a look of confusion. His gaze swept across the All Heavens, then passed through infinite Time, and he murmured with doubt:
"The me in this Time has disappeared?"
