Chapter 273: Scriptures (I)
After taking his seat and closing his eyes, Wang Wei took out some freshly brewed Enlightenment Tea to drink, then took out his Purple Merit and absorbed it. Since Wu Hong assured him that it did not have any problem, he was reassured to use it as it can greatly help him create a powerful and unique cultivation scripture.
Immediately afterward, Wang Wei entered a state of enlightenment.
And he was not the only one who did such a thing. All these powerful Heave Chosens also took out material that can help them enter a state of enlightenment quicker and last much longer. Many of them also used Merit because of the recent event happening in the world.
Even Lin Fan was granted Merit for this occasion. Most likely, they used some of the reserves of the Academy to help him, showing how much they are willing to invest in him for this generation’s Heaven Will.
And this was not the end. All those Heaven Chosens were blessed by the Qi Luck of their entire faction, thus exponentially increase their comprehension.
The advantages that these top Heaven Chosens received made the ones with lesser background sighed with envy. Although they too can receive the benefit of Qi Luck of their factions, can they compare with Emperor Lineages?
No to mention the loose cultivators who were lucky enough to get a spot on the top 30. Unless they are members of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, they have no chance. Plus, the alliance is made of people that only want to use one another for resources, so their Qi Luck is quite scattered.
.. .
After closing his eyes, Wang Wei found himself in a white and empty space, with only a tree behind him. He sat in the lotus position while leaning on the tree.
Soon afterward, many illusory figures appeared in front of him: there were men, women, the elderly, and even some that looked like children. Nevertheless, no matter the physical appearance of these people, they all have one thing in common: they had a noble temperament emanating from their bodies.
The moment these people appeared, instinctively, Wang Wei knew who they, or what they were: Great Emperors.
Following their appearances, these Emperors started to preach one by one. Some of them talked about their own Dao in great depth, while some talked about their understanding of other Dao.
If any ordinary heard these people talking, 99% of them would not understand the esoteric meaning of these words. While the remaining 1% could barely catch the meaning of a few phrases.
Fortunately, Wang Wei’s understanding was truly heaven-defying. He quickly absorbed the essence of these Daos and made his own. At the same time, he also started to forge his own.
Just like that, 200 years passed by. The amount of time for all these Heaven Chosens to stay in the Secret Realm arrived. Of course, by that time, only 5 people remained.
All the other people could not stay in the state of enlightenment for so long, so they woke up. Even a talented person like the Suave Sloth did not last longer than 120 years, and he complained a great deal after waking up.
The first person to wake up was Sun Jiaolong--who was in the fifth seat. A vision appeared around him. It was him wearing a Sovereign Crown and holding a Golden Sword. A large army of human soldiers bowed to him, then he led them to fight between Heaven and Earth.
Soon after that vision manifested, Sun Jialong’s Ancient Lamp Manifested with 50 Origin Patterns on it, with a 12 colored Good Fortune Flame. Immediately afterward, the flame started burning his body, making him grunt.
The process only lasted a few minutes, but afterward, a powerful aura emanated from his body: it was the aura of the Divine Body Realm. Sun Jialong checked his body, then looked into the sky where a massive cloud gathered. Without hesitation, he rushed to the sky to meet his Heavenly Tribulation.
Meanwhile, outside of the Secret Realm, many people watched this happening. In the past, one part of the Tournament was to see how powerful the scriptures that these Heaven Chosens would create, so this part of the tournament was also broadcast.
This time, the Academy wanted to stop this aspect as well, but the other factions disagreed. They believed that the Academy can gather information about their Heaven Chosens while they could not do the same. So, an agreement was reached to continue with the broadcast.
While Sun Jiaolong was going through his Heavenly Tribulation, many people were commenting on him.
"So, a scripture based on the concept of ’Military Ruler’, a Sovereign that leads its people to fight and slaughter all his enemies, an iron-blooded ruler. Very powerful."
"Yes, and with the Human Destiny Sword in his hand, he is probably even more powerful."
"Now, the issue is why did he reveal it now. The people of Great Wu spent so many years denying having the sword, why did they suddenly reveal the information now?"
"Could it be because he is now protected by the Heavenly Dao and cannot die until he reached the next realm?"
"It could be, or they could be planning something."
Meanwhile, after finishing his Thunder Tribulation, Sun Jialong looked at the other people who were still in the middle of enlightenment; he frowned a little was he surprised that he was the first one to wake up. However, soon afterward, he checked the Golden Sword in his Divine Sea, and a confident look appeared on his face.
Without saying anything, he returned to his seat to wait.
A few hours later, another person woke up: it was Su Ya who was in the third seat. Just like Sun Jialong, a vision appeared behind her.
In the vision, Su Ya was also standing in front of a large group of people, but all these people were actually her. Moreover, all the different versions of how were scatted throughout different worlds in the Endless Void. There seemed to be an infinite number of them.
Soon afterward, an Ancient Lamp and Good Fortune Flame appeared and she broke through the Divine Body Realm. Then, Su Ya opened her eyes, but she did not immediately go experience Thunder Tribulation.
Seven Books floated in front of her, then an eighth was condensed.
’Each Emperor of our sect cultivated one of the seven emotions to the pinnacle and proved the Dao. In my generation, I have to start cultivating the Six Desires, and I chose the desire that all things have to live, to survive: in order word, to avoid death.’
After that, she looked around and realized that she was the second to wake up. With a frown on her face, she looked at Lin Fan that sat behind her.
’It seems that despite all the weakness this guy has, his potential is the real deal. I cannot underestimate him.’ Then, she looked at Jian Wshuang in front of her. ’As for you, it’s time that I start my plan to get rid of you.’
Su Yan flew to the clouds in the sky to undergo her Thunder Tribulations.
Meanwhile, the people outside were also commenting on her.
"It seems that this generation’s Saintess will continue the legacy of her ancestor."
"Yes. The Yin Moon Palace [Seven Emotions Six Desires Book] is actually 7 Emperor Scriptures condensed into one. Now, she is preparing to condensed the 8th Chapter."
"Imagine if they manage to cultivate 13 Emperors and finished that book. How powerful would it be?"
"Probably even more powerful than the [Past, Present, Future Buddha Scroll]. Wasn’t it rumored that this Scripture was written by 3 Buddhist Emperors that were in fact brothers."
"You are right. Most likely, the founder of the Yin Moon Palace probably got the idea from them."
"Your guess is probably correct given the fact that they were founded during the Incense Era."
Back in the Secret Realm, after finishing her Thunder Tribulation, Su Ya waved her hand into the void, scattering white lights into different parts of the world. As soon as these lights reached a populated area, they absorbed the emotions of the people around them.
Then, they turned into Su Ya or clones of hers. The clones immediately used a technique to change their aura and physical features after being born, before scattering and blending into the large population.
"Good," muttered Su Ya after seeing this. ’As long as any of my clones are alive, I will not die. Although I currently have only 1000 thousand clones, this is equal to 1000 lives. Furthermore, as long as there are enough emotions, I can make more.
’And as I grow more powerful, I will be able to make more until I have an infinite amount of them or an infinite amount of lives. If I do not manage to prove the Dao, this method can be improved into an alternate form of immortality.’
Nodding her head, she took her seat, waiting for everybody to wake up and test one another.
The next person to wake is...
