Dominator Emperor

Of course, not just anyone could activate the power of a Dao Treasure Text. Only true experts at the Prince level or above could wield their might.

A piece of Dao Treasure Gold might contain only a single Dao Treasure Text, or it could have two or three. In short, the more Dao Treasure Texts it held, the more precious it was.

It could be said that Dao Treasure Gold with three or more Dao Treasure Texts was an item that millions of Essence Walls could not buy. Cultivators called Dao Treasure Gold with four or five texts Emperor Iron. Those with six or seven were called Sacred Copper, and those with eight or nine were known as Immortal Gold!

The Cyan Copper, a type of Six-Wen Sacred Copper, was indeed something that made people’s eyes red with envy. Its value far surpassed the Beast Marrow and Dao Bone obtained by Marquis Jiangzuo. No wonder so many people couldn’t help but enter the dangerous area after hearing this news!

However, even more moving news came from the Holy Heaven Sect. ”The Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist single-handedly pursued a 150,000-year-old Longevity Spirit for thousands of miles, ultimately slaying it and retreating completely unscathed!”

”He killed a 150,000-year-old Longevity Spirit all by himself!” Hearing this, many people sucked in a cold breath. Longevity Spirits were more terrifying than Celestial Beasts. Being targeted by one felt like having a dagger to your back, let alone hunting one down.

”A true Prince. His strength is far greater than Marquis Jiangzuo’s.” Even those who were unconvinced had to admit that the Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist was simply too powerful.

To become a Prince at such a young age was truly worthy of envy. Moreover, from the current situation, the Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist was likely a veteran Prince! His strength was probably above that of an ordinary Prince. Such an achievement made it no exaggeration to call him the most outstanding genius in the Great Middle Realm.

A Sect Lord couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. ”The Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist possesses an innate Holy Destiny, extremely high talent, and is exceedingly intelligent. He can grasp the Great Dao and Ten Thousand Methods with but a single pointer.” He continued, ”With an heir like this, it’s only natural for the Holy Heaven Sect to flourish. The Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist of today is likely more than just a second Baosheng Human Emperor. His future achievements might even surpass the Holy Heaven Sect’s Elder Ancestor!”

Having such a disciple was truly enviable. The emergence of such a talent guaranteed that a sect’s inheritance would become even more prosperous.

”I’m afraid Li Fairy is even stronger, even more Heaven-Defying than the Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist.” With the Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist being so outstanding and eye-catching, everyone couldn’t help but think of another genius—Li Shuangyan.

After all, not long ago, the Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist had suffered a loss at Li Shuangyan’s hands.

”Li Fairy is indeed unbelievably Heaven-Defying. Legend says she’s more than just an Emperor Body; she also has a Holy Destiny!” At the mention of Li Shuangyan, countless cultivators of the younger generation were smitten and couldn’t help but sing her praises.

”I also think Li Fairy has a brighter future than the Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist. After all, an Emperor Body has great potential. Becoming a Great Sage in the future is absolutely not a problem.” As her admirers, they were of course full of endless praise for Li Shuangyan.

There was a debate regarding Life Palaces and physiques. Some believed that physiques had more potential than Life Palaces, but others held the opposite view.

Cultivators who held the first view believed that physiques could be upgraded. An Emperor Body could be promoted to a Sacred Body, and one could even cultivate an invincible Immortal Body! However, a Life Palace could not. A Life Palace was what it was from birth! It couldn’t be promoted through cultivation.

Those who held the latter view believed that the Life Palace was the foundation of a cultivator. Although physiques had a clear advantage in the early stages, once one reached the later stages, comprehending more profound cultivation techniques and creating one’s own Great Dao definitely required innate talent and comprehension ability. Therefore, some believed the Life Palace was more decisive for one’s future!

”In terms of Life Palaces, Li Fairy is no weaker than the Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist, and she also possesses an Innate Emperor Body.” An older-generation cultivator commented, ”If we’re really talking about future prospects, Li Fairy is the clear winner. Unfortunately, she joined the Xiyan Ancient Sect. The Sheng Tian Heaven Daoist, on the other hand, is said to have received guidance from the Holy Heaven Sect’s Elder Ancestor. With such a great Master, how could he not become invincible?”

At the mention of the Holy Heaven Sect’s Elder Ancestor, everyone, no matter who they were, fell silent. Even the most arrogant people felt a sense of reverence. This was someone who had followed the Ta Kong Immortal Emperor!

”This is the Nine Saints Demon Gate’s ancestral decree killing people!” a young cultivator said indignantly. ”Who is Li Fairy? She’s a Fairy descended from the heavens to the mortal world! Yet she’s forced into a marriage alliance with the Xiyan Ancient Sect. What is that Chief Disciple of the Xiyan Ancient Sect? Does he think he’s worthy of Li Fairy?”

Li Shuangyan was the Divine Maiden in the hearts of many younger-generation cultivators. Countless people were infatuated with her. So, at the mere mention of this matter, countless people hated Li Qiye to the bone.

”Exactly! A beautiful flower stuck in cow dung! That Li Qiye isn’t just a good-for-nothing, he’s also an ignorant, uncultured brat! Isn’t he just relying on a bit of an Immortal Emperor’s legacy? Isn’t it just because he has a little something left behind by Immortal Emperor Mingren? And he’s become so arrogant and lawless. Hmph, just watch him. One day, he won’t even know how he died!” As for Li Qiye, an unknown number of people hated him to the very core.

Seeing Li Qiye’s arrogance while shamelessly living off a woman was especially infuriating! ’What’s so great about him? He just got lucky, happened to become the Chief Disciple of the Xiyan Ancient Sect, hit the jackpot, and got to marry Li Shuangyan!’

The thought of this good-for-nothing being so lucky made many disciples of the younger generation grind their teeth in jealousy! ’What’s a mooching good-for-nothing got to be arrogant about? Relying on a woman for support, what kind of skill is that?!’

Just as many were voicing their injustice for Li Shuangyan, and many others were gossiping about her affairs, a piece of news suddenly spread from Demon’s Back Ridge.

”Someone has entered the Dangerous Area! They went in alone!” The news spread, alarming everyone on Demon’s Back Ridge.

”Alone? Into the Dangerous Area?” Hearing this, many were horrified. To enter alone—what kind of courage was that? Someone couldn’t help but ask, ”Was it Master Situ, the National Preceptor of the Treasure Sacred Upper Country?”

So far, the only True Master known to have arrived at Demon’s Back Ridge was Master Situ. It was unknown if other True Masters had entered discreetly.

One must understand, the Dangerous Area was an extremely treacherous place. One might run into Celestial Beasts over 300,000 years old. Encountering a Celestial Beast wasn’t the worst-case scenario; even if you couldn’t defeat it, you still had a chance to escape. But if you were targeted by a Longevity Spirit, it was almost certainly a dead end.

”No, I heard Master Situ hasn’t made a move. The one who went in was Celestial Emperor Qingxuan!” said someone with inside information.

”Someone from the Qingxuan Ancient Country is finally here!” Hearing this, everyone was shaken. At the news of the Qingxuan Ancient Country’s arrival, no matter which sect inheritance, Jiang Country, or even Upper Country they were from, no one dared to be presumptuous!

Whether it was the Jiangzuo Family or the Nantian Country, even a Great Sect like the Holy Heaven Sect, which had an Elder Ancestor, wouldn’t dare to casually provoke the divine might of a power like the Qingxuan Ancient Country.

The Qingxuan Ancient Country was an absolute heavyweight in the Great Middle Realm. Even if it couldn’t be called the number one power, it was still a behemoth that inspired fear!

”The Qingxuan Ancient Country... a genuine Ancient Country, with two Immortal Emperors from a single nation!” Hearing of the arrival of such a behemoth, no matter which sect or great figure, everyone was left stunned.

The Qingxuan Ancient Country had produced two Immortal Emperors in succession—the Qingxuan Immortal Emperor and the Three-blade Immortal Emperor! This was a terrifyingly powerful Ancient Country. Possessing the Emperor Essence of two Immortal Emperors, it was a colossal entity that simply no one could shake.

”If a transcendent existence like the War God Hall doesn’t interfere, I’m afraid no sect inheritance or Jiang Country in our Great Middle Realm would dare to contend with the Qingxuan Ancient Country!” someone sighed after recovering from their shock.

The Old Turtle King from Feijiao Lake was aghast at the news. ”Celestial Emperor Qingxuan... a legendary figure,” he said. ”Legend has it that although he is only in his early twenties, he is simultaneously cultivating the peerless Emperor Techniques of two Immortal Emperors. This is simply inconceivable! With a Dual Emperors Skill, who in the entire Great Middle Realm could possibly be his match?”

Regarding the Qingxuan Ancient Country and Celestial Emperor Qingxuan, most people chose to remain silent. Existences like the Qingxuan Ancient Country and Celestial Emperor Qingxuan were not something they were qualified to discuss; they were too powerful. Forget them, even the Treasure Sacred Upper Country and the Nantian Country couldn’t compare. Two Immortal Emperors from one country—you couldn’t find a second example in the entire Great Middle Realm.

There was once a saying in the Great Middle Realm: ”In ancient times, there was the War God Hall; in the present, there is the Qingxuan Country!” This one sentence was enough to illustrate the status of the Qingxuan Ancient Country.

Many sects in the Great Middle Realm believed that if the War God Hall did not emerge, the Qingxuan Ancient Country would undoubtedly become the leader of the Great Middle Realm.

It had always been believed that only the supremely transcendent War God Hall could compare to the Qingxuan Ancient Country in the Great Middle Realm.

The War God Hall could be said to be the origin of the Human Race. Some even said that the earliest cultivation techniques of the Human Race were passed down from the War God Hall.

While Demon’s Back Ridge was in an uproar, Li Qiye was fighting a bloody battle on his own path. Along the way, he was drenched in blood from his kills. He was especially focused on stimulating the potential of his Prison Suppressing Divine Body, which led him to cross the line time and time again to provoke Celestial Beasts! Under Li Qiye’s repeated provocations, the potential of the Prison Suppressing Divine Body began to erupt, making his physique even more terrifying!

For Li Qiye, Celestial Beasts were the best opponents to temper himself against. However, there was something he loathed—Longevity Spirits! Being targeted by a Longevity Spirit meant trouble.

On Demon’s Back Ridge, Li Qiye feared no existence. However, these ghost-like things called Longevity Spirits were incredibly troublesome. Once you encountered one, it would retreat when you advanced and advance when you retreated, like a thorn in your side.

For the past ten days, Li Qiye had been targeted by a 300,000-year-old Longevity Spirit. This Longevity Spirit had intended to deal him a fatal blow from the very beginning. Unfortunately for it, it had encountered Li Qiye. The toughness of his Prison Suppressing Divine Body prevented its strike from killing him, allowing Li Qiye to escape in an instant.
