Chapter 1879: Chapter 889: I Am the Martial Emperor, But I Am Not the Martial Emperor! (Part 2)
Taihao Immortal Venerable nodded:
“The division of the Sky-reaching Sixth Realm was not created by the Martial Emperor; he merely inherited it. Beyond the Sixth Realm, there is the Seventh Realm, the Immortal Golden Immortal, whose lifespan is measured in tens of thousands of years.
Transcending the Boundary Domain, achieving Undying and Undying, how can it be so easy to break through?
The Martial Emperor’s realm can be considered… a Half-step Seventh Realm. Ultimately, due to various reasons, he did not take that last step, but he has already reached a terrifying level.
Yet, even so, he still died. Now the position of the Boundary Domain is leaked, and the Evil Demon from beyond is coming to this world with that terrifying Seventh Realm presence.
No one can stop it, I can’t, and you… certainly can’t.”
“Continue…”
“However, heaven does not destroy all roads. When the Martial Emperor attacked the Evil Demons from beyond, he discovered a treasure of immeasurable worth. Before his death, he used his final strength.
He stirred the stars, using space techniques to throw it towards this Boundary Domain, hoping someone could control this treasure. But for thousands of years, I have awakened repeatedly, looked down on the Human World, and found nothing.
Previously, I thought it was on that Yu, but now… I think it is more likely to be on you.”
Taihao Immortal Venerable continued to stare at Chen Yuan, wanting to see through him based on certain things.
“What treasure?”
“I only know it’s an altar.”
An altar!
Qi Fortune Altar!
Although he had already thought of the Qi Fortune Altar when he asked what treasure it was, Taihao Immortal Venerable’s words still made his heart sink.
The Evil Demons from beyond are looking for it, and so is he!
Seeing no anomaly in Chen Yuan, he continued:
“I have traced back through time, watching you grow again and again, each time breaking through just right, each time getting exactly what you want. Saying it’s just Qi Fortune is not enough to support these.
Therefore, I believe you have obtained that altar and controlled it, leading to your achievements today.”
“You’re merely guessing.”
“Previously I had a seventy percent guess; now… it’s a full hundred percent.” Taihao Immortal Venerable suddenly laughed.
“Since you can trace back the past, why not probe when I was weak?”
Taihao Immortal Venerable shook his head:
“I traced back before, during the time when you were consolidating the Human Emperor’s Qi Fortune, and also… tracing back to the Origin, doesn’t mean one can interfere with past events, I can’t do that.
Perhaps the existence of the Seventh Realm can accomplish some of that.”
“So….”
“So, for the Human Race, for this Boundary Domain, I hope you can give me that altar, for me to control, and for me to face the Evil Demons from beyond.”
“Don’t say that the altar isn’t in my hands, even if it was, why should I give it to you?” Chen Yuan said coldly.
“Because your strength is too weak. It seems as if you have the combat power of a peak Heavenly Immortal, but it’s still far from enough. When the Evil Demons from beyond arrive, your path is nothing but death.
Of course, as compensation, I can tell you the next step in the cultivation of the Martial God’s path, and you could sit below one and above millions, you and I joining forces.
Rule the world together, isn’t that good?”
Taihao Immortal Venerable smiled, still showing no hostility.
Chen Yuan’s eyes were dark and uncertain, pondering his chances if he were to fight now. Regardless, the Qi Fortune Altar is something he could never hand over.
Unwilling, and unable.
This is his greatest reliance, and it’s because of it that Chen Yuan was able to stand atop this Boundary Domain within a few years, but even now, he cannot control the Qi Fortune Altar.
That thing only reacts when consuming Qi Fortune.
And no matter how Chen Yuan thought or calculated at this moment, he seemed impossible to be a match for Emperor Wu’s Evil Thought, the Heavenly Dao Embodiment, even though the other side has made no move till now.
Always conversing with a smile.
But precisely because of this, he could feel the other side’s confidence, which was not feigned, but a confidence that came from the heart, the other side tracing back time, seeing through the past.
Surely understanding his strength and still showing confidence can only prove that his power far surpasses his own.
This is an unequal confrontation.
And also, the other side’s distributed embodiments, even if only the embodiments of Taiyin Immortal Venerable and Taiyang Immortal Venerable, are already powerful enough, now unified, how strong could it be?
Transcending the Sixth Realm, reaching the Seventh Realm is impossible.
But he estimated it was not too far.
Taihao Immortal Venerable looked at Chen Yuan, seemingly sensing his hesitation, so he was in no hurry, but slowly stood up, waving his hand, several images condensed in the void.
There were scenes of Jiang He and others fighting in the stars, as well as calamities and disasters in various places in the Human World.
He continued:
“Do you know my ideal?”
“How could I know….”
“Although I am the embodiment of Emperor Wu’s evil thought, years have gone by, and I have long developed my own intelligence and judgment, actually not the same existence as the original Martial Emperor.
Plus, merging with the Heavenly Dao, gaining countless years of thoughts from Heaven and Earth, I actually don’t even know what I am, but I have an ideal, that is universal harmony.
To let this Human World be free of oppression, free of humiliation, to create a Pure Land, if so, then no one would cultivate, no one would fight for resources, because everyone would be equal.
I think… that world would be very good.”
Chen Yuan: “…..”
𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
“Hehe…”
He chuckled twice, not expecting Taihao Immortal Venerable’s thoughts to shift so quickly, to talk about his ideal, the so-called universal harmony.
Only…
Unless manipulating human thoughts, turning people into puppets.
For wherever there are people, there is a Jianghu, where there is Jianghu, there will definitely be competition.
“It’s not achievable now only because the strength is lacking. When the strength is enough, when I break through the Seventh Realm, I think it can be achieved, resisting threats from beyond.
Letting everyone be equal, I hope…. you can join me, creating this new world together.”
Taihao Immortal Venerable opened his arms, facing the heavens, his gaze finally changed, from a serene smile to one of extreme determination. As the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, he could peer into every corner of the Human World.
What he saw was a land of schemes and struggles, of oppression and humiliation, of rampant evil thoughts, of a world in chaos, of human desires impossible to fill, of those wielding power running amok.
He grew tired of it, weary of it.
Over the years, he changed, wanting to transform it all.
“The Seventh Realm, is it so easy to break through?”
Chen Yuan looked at Taihao Immortal Venerable, implying that even the Martial Emperor couldn’t do it, so why does this evil thought believe it can?
“The Martial Emperor couldn’t do it, but I can, I said, he is me, but I’m not him. The Seventh Realm is a transcendence. If there is that supreme treasure, I think I can.
When I succeed, I might even help you.”
“Hehe….”
The only response was Chen Yuan’s smile.
Neither admitting that the Qi Fortune Altar is with him, nor agreeing with his words, why should he trust this Taihao Immortal Venerable, just based on a few words?
Truly considering Chen Yuan to be a child?
Reliance is always best held in one’s own hands, more secure.
“Alright, now can you tell me your answer.” Taihao Immortal Venerable looked at Chen Yuan and said.
“What if I refuse?”
“Hehehe…. hehehe….” Taihao Immortal Venerable chuckled and shook his head.
“As expected, indeed.”
“As expected what?”
“From tracing back the past, observing you grow, I discovered that you are that kind of person who is self-centered, selfish and self-interested, even after becoming the Human Emperor.
Even if you have a good thought, your nature is hard to change.
Actually, you needn’t fear, and worrying is unnecessary, I said so much, first to make you agree with me, and likewise I with you, thinking you could be my fellow Daoist.
Secondly, I never considered you a rival, your strength is decent, but only decent.
If you agree, my approach will be gentle, and you can survive. If you don’t agree, for my ideal, for this realm, your end will be nothing but death.
A thousand years ago there was that Yu, a thousand years later there is you, let it be…. you are not my fellow Daoist, and in this realm, no one is my fellow Daoist.
It’s late, choose your way to die.”
