Words spoken in conversation could ruin a person's reputation and life.
Was this not more terrifying than another supreme lineage?
"Find someone of extremely high cultivation to possess me and debate on my behalf?"
"Can the Tai Xuan lineage invite an ancestor to possess and descend?"
Chen Jiuyang frowned, then relaxed his brows. "Thank you, Ancestor, for the information."
The Ancestor of 'Wangchuan' said, "This is all I can tell you about the Tai Xuan lineage."
"Next is the Da Meng lineage..."
As he spoke, the Ancestor of 'Wangchuan's' expression became solemn. "The Dao techniques and divine abilities of the Da Meng lineage are particularly special. They can drag a person into a dream world, making them unable to distinguish between reality and illusion."
"Only by triggering a heavenly tribulation can there be a sliver of hope."
"However, for you, it should not be difficult. I sense the aura of a divine ability that defies heavenly laws on your person. Once you unleash such a divine ability, it will attract a heavenly tribulation."
Then, the Ancestor of 'Wangchuan' calculated with his fingers, "My karma with you is not yet settled. When you have need in the future, you may seek me out again."
Thus, the grand ceremony of this great hall concluded.
The sacred artifact, the 'Eternal Tribulation' scroll, slowly closed, and the dark demonic energy dispersed from Chen Jiuyang's body. In this manner, the grand ceremony of the Supreme Lineage of the True Demon Sect came to an end.
Tearing through space, the sacred artifact departed.
Chen Jiuyang stood on the Ten Thousand Races Blood Throne, his gaze sweeping across the entire assembly. "Now that the war between the Saints and the Pseudo-Saints has begun, only one of the Saint Sect and the Pseudo-Dao can survive. The Saint Sect will not spare resources. Everyone must go all out to make our Saint Sect glorious!"
"We respectfully obey the Sect Master's sacred decree!"
A thunderous roar erupted as tens of thousands of people simultaneously knelt on one knee, responding in unison.
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly, then flew up from the Ten Thousand Races Blood Throne and headed towards the Sect Master's Hall deep within the True Demon Sect.
...
Inside the Sect Master's Hall.
Chen Jiuyang began to study the current power map of the world.
The five great Holy Lands, the Demonic Path, the Monster Race, and the Six Great Forbidden Zones had descendants emerging to contend for the path to Emperorhood, dispatching their prodigies.
However, Chen Jiuyang harbored doubts. Given the foundations of the various Forbidden Zones, it shouldn't be their turn, the younger generation, to contend for the Emperor's path.
Perhaps there were some hidden secrets that Chen Jiuyang was unaware of.
The mortal world was the thirty-second heaven, but above the thirty-third heaven lay the Immortal Realm.
So, what was the thirty-third heaven?
There were too many secrets in all things in heaven and earth that Chen Jiuyang had not yet encountered.
Those who were not of the Ancestor level should not know.
However, the immediate priority was to prepare for the recovery of the Tai Xuan Demonic Sect.
Since the Ancestor of 'Wangchuan' had warned him like this, it was certainly not without reason.
He had little confidence in debating with the Ancestor. After all, he had only recently entered the Emperor Realm and didn't even know how to ascend to the next stage, let alone more.
The Supreme Lineage had Ancestor 'Yi Quan' presiding over it. Should he ask for his help?
He feared that with the disposition of the Supreme Lineage, they would directly intervene and disrupt the rules of the Saint Dao competition.
Then, whom else could Chen Jiuyang ask for help?
The inheritors of the Human Emperor's path from the Ancient Human Village?
Chen Jiuyang already owed them a significant karmic debt, and the Ancient Human Village...
Besides the Ancient Human Village and the Han clan, and the Demonic Path, who else could help him?
Hmm?
Wait...
Chen Jiuyang suddenly thought of the one within the Fallen Immortal Cliff, who spent a year in the dream world and a day in the real world.
Now that several years had passed in the real world, he wondered how much the cultivation of Princess 'Shile' had recovered and if he could communicate with her.
This great immortal from the upper realm could also be well utilized.
Chen Jiuyang activated the strand of hair left by Princess 'Shile' and unleashed her divine ability.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Pink mist immediately emanated from all parts of his body, then gradually condensed into the appearance of Princess 'Shile'.
Chen Jiuyang cupped his fists and bowed, "It has been a long time. I wonder if Your Highness Princess is well?"
Princess 'Shile' lounged lazily and said, "Not bad. Your previous tribulation accumulated some strength, increasing my power. Your progress is not slow; you have already ascended to the Emperor Realm. How is the progress of destroying the Holy Lands?"
Chen Jiuyang replied, "I was just about to discuss it with Your Highness Princess."
He clearly explained the matter of debating with the Tai Xuan Demonic Sect. Princess 'Shile' said, "This matter is not difficult. I can possess you and debate on your behalf. Recovering Tai Xuan will not be a problem."
Chen Jiuyang's heart settled. As expected of an immortal from the upper realm.
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess," Chen Jiuyang said. "I have summoned Your Highness Princess today to inquire about some hidden secrets."
"It's alright, you can ask. The karma you incurred by destroying the five great Holy Lands is so great that even becoming an Emperor cannot repay it," Princess 'Shile' seemed to have seen through Chen Jiuyang's thoughts and said.
The karma was so great that even becoming an Emperor could not repay it. Could he gain such great karmic power from Shile Princess?
Chen Jiuyang asked, "This mortal world is the thirty-second heaven. I wonder where the true thirty-third heaven is?"
Someone had once said that the Northern Dipper Star's Lesser Immortal Realm was the thirty-third heaven, but Chen Jiuyang's intuition told him otherwise.
Princess 'Shile' said, "The thirty-second heaven is the Spirit Realm."
"You originated from the Chongming Sea of the Demonic Path. Do you not know that the Forbidden Zone of Chongming Sea was a piece of spirit domain pried from the Spirit Realm?"
"Each piece of spirit domain can lead to the Spirit Realm."
"In the Spirit Realm, the Immortal Dao flourishes, and the Martial Dao is not tolerated. Therefore, the mortal world and below have a flourishing Martial Dao."
"With your current cultivation, you do not need to enter the Spirit Realm."
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly, then asked again, "What is the meaning of the existence of the various Forbidden Zones?"
Princess 'Shile' said, "Immortal and Martial cannot coexist. The Forbidden Zones in the mortal world are places where various powerful beings from different eras linger, achieving Emperorhood through unconventional means, seeking to break through the limits of Martial Emperors and become Martial Dao Red Dust Immortals."
Chen Jiuyang was shocked, "Unconventional Emperorhood? Your Highness Princess, can there only be one Human Emperor in an era?"
Princess 'Shile' revealed a secret: "The position of Human Emperor can suppress this world for tens of thousands of years in an era, but only for tens of thousands of years. The lifespan of a Martial Emperor is only forty thousand to sixty thousand years, which is even less than the lifespan of a Tribulation Transcender, who lives for hundreds of thousands of years."
"Obtaining the position of Emperor allows one to dominate an era, but not to achieve eternal invincibility."
"Therefore, more people seek unconventional Emperorhood to attain the path of eternal invincibility and become Martial Dao Red Dust Immortals."
"If you seek the position of Emperor, then your Martial Dao will reach its peak, and you will be unable to ascend to the eighth realm of Martial Dao, 'Martial Immortal'."
"Would you choose the invincibility of an era lasting tens of thousands of years, or eternal invincibility?"
Chen Jiuyang's heart trembled. Such secrets...
No wonder. It seemed that those who lived longer sought eternal invincibility and unconventional Emperorhood.
Princess 'Shile' looked at Chen Jiuyang with surprise in her eyes, "You are following the path of the Human Emperor. Did the people from the Ancient Human Village not tell you?"
Chen Jiuyang asked with confusion, "Tell me what?"
Princess 'Shile' smiled lightly and said,
"The path of the Human Emperor cannot seek the position of Emperor; it can only seek eternal invincibility."
