Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension
Chapter 339: Jiang Mengxiang, Seal Of The Human Emperor
Upper Realm, Second Great Immortal World.
A majestic jade palace floated in the sky, drifting among the celestial clouds, emitting a divine light that shone down on the mountains and rivers, capable of increasing one’s aptitude to a certain extent.
However, it had restrictions as well, and one couldn’t directly raise from Half Immortal potential to Vagrant Immortal potential.
At most, someone destined to reach the Nascent Soul Realm at most could hope to impact the Immortal Ascension Realm after this light shone upon them.
Mortal cultivators couldn’t stir up any waves in the Immortal World.
In the jade palace, an ethereal, mesmerizing figure sat on a table made of materials rarely found even in the Second Great Immortal World, fluttering her legs as she gazed at the ceiling, eyes closed as if in deep thought.
A book and quill were placed on the other end of the table, crafted exquisitely from the billion year old Heaven Supporting Divine Tree and the feather of a Profound Immortal Realm Flying Immortal Crane.
At this moment, the space outside the palace gates rippled, and a slender hand pushed them open with a slight touch.
The ethereal woman broke out of her reverie, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"It’s been quite a while since you last came here, perhaps a few million years? What brings you here this time?"
Hearing this, the woman who had just stepped into the palace stopped, looking towards the ethereal woman.
Then, she looked at the book and quill on the table, her gaze deepening.
"You stopped writing? Didn’t you say you were chronicling the story of a successor from the Mortal World?"
The ethereal woman’s face still showed a faint smile, "The wheels of fate have turned, I’m no longer in a position to write about her. She has someone behind her I cannot offend, someone who will surpass me very soon. This karma, I’m afraid I can’t bear it.
Heavenly Goddess, you wouldn’t be here to ask me about the same person, are you?"
The Heavenly Goddess of Yin and Yang’s expression turned slightly grim at these words, taking a deep look at the ethereal woman before she turned and departed without looking back, leaving behind only a few words.
"I hope you don’t regret your choice today, Jiang Mengxiang."
Calling out an Immortal’s True Name is considered extremely impolite, even among Immortals of the same level.
Jiang Mengxiang’s smile slowly faded, an indifferent look appearing on her face, eyes cold.
"The power that transcends even time and space protects him, yet they think they can do anything to stop his rise. Fools who do not know their own strength, inviting disaster upon themselves and their forces as well."
The book and quill flew over to her side, the title of the book clearly visible, ’Intricacies of Fate’.
...
3 more years quickly passed by.
Tian Yongheng entered the Mid Stage of Half Immortal Realm.
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Mid Stage of Half Immortal Realm.]
[Obtained the Seal of the Human Emperor.]
[Seal of the Human Emperor: Human Emperor Seal, supreme Divine Power of the first Heavenly Human Immortal Emperor, known widely as Yu the Great or the Human Emperor from the Primordial Era, the founder of the Human Emperor Hall and creator of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons. This Divine Power manifests with the Dharma Avatar, capable of empowering the Dharma Avatar by countless times and releasing Human Emperor Qi, manifesting the Human Emperor’s Providence. If cultivated to the limit, it can even borrow the power of the Human Emperor at his peak for once in a lifetime.]
Looking at the system prompt, Tian Yongheng’s eyes widened and heart jolted.
"So Yu the Great is actually the first Immortal Emperor of the Heavenly Human Race, the Human Emperor!? But..."
Immediately, he entered deep contemplation.
Something is wrong, indeed... if Yu the Great is the Human Emperor, why would he be on Earth just a few thousand years prior?
Or are these two not the same beings at all?
Is Yu the Great the incarnation of the original Human Emperor Yu?
But then, the Primordial Era seems like a time period far beyond even Immortals, can Immortal Emperors really live from the Primordial Era till now?
Or did Emperor Yu reach a higher realm?
But then, the system only said he was the first Immortal Emperor of the Heavenly Human Race, not that he ascended to a realm beyond it.
After a moment, he just shook his head with a sigh.
"In the end, it’s all due to a lack of information. If I could go to the Upper Realm, maybe I could gather more information, even the information about the secret behind the Uppee Realm and 33 Heavens Divine Realm, but I have too many enemies out there, I can’t take any risks until I at least reach the Golden Immortal Realm. With the Shuttling Heaven Great Art, I have greater confidence of escaping if something went awry..."
"What went awry?"
Suddenly, a voice beamed from outside the courtyard, and Ouyang Chenyao walked in with large strides, completely treating the place as her own home.
Now ten years old, she looked somewhat more mature than her peers and possessed the air of a noble young lady.
Her father was, after all, a newly promoted yamen captain and a First-Rate Martial Artist, uncommon even in the bustling capital.
In the nearly million population of the capital city, Third-Rate Martial Artists could be found basically everywhere. There were over a hundred thousand Third-Rate Martial Artists.
The number sharply decreased at Second-Rate Martial Artists, which were around ten thousand in the capital city, but they were still not too rare.
Only First-Rate Martial Artists could be considered a part of the capital and dynasty’s elites, with barely a few hundred residing within the capital permanently.
There were also quite a few Immortal Cultivators scattered around the capital, but none of them was above the Seventh Level of Acupoint Opening Stage.
With a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator sitting in charge as the National Teacher, these Rogue Cultivators wouldn’t dare act recklessly, thus only high ranking figures knew of their existence.
And Ouyang Chenyao, for some reason, thought Tian Yongheng was one of the few "Immortal Masters" hidden in the world.
