Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao-Chapter 4589 - : Final Preparations
Chapter 4589: Final Preparations
Editor: Henyee Translations
Led by the Nine Mountains Saint, Ling Han and the others successfully returned.
They asked about the Nine Mountains Saint’s gains, but they were extremely negligible.
How could the holy flame be so easily obtained?
The Saints that had entered were all here to snatch the holy flame. Thus, they would either become old, and have long since died there, or return empty-handed. The difficulty level of obtaining it was naturally much higher.
Moreover, when the conversation returned to Tong Ming, they were all frowning deeply.
“Grandpa Dog has a guess,” the large black dog said. “Grandpa Dog’s guess is that the so-called Lord of Yin River, Lord of Blood Sea, or this Tong Ming are all the sons of the Great Emperors. Furthermore, they have also been bestowed with Mystical Powers by the Great Emperors, allowing them to control corpses!”
After all, controlling the corpses was a fact. How many Saintly corpses were there in the Yin River and the sea of blood?
Even in the fog where Di Wuji was, just how many Saintly corpses were buried under the so-called safe zone?
Thus, even though these people were only at Venerable Tier, they could still cause boundless commotion.
“But the problem is, why does the Netherworld cooperate?” Ling Han asked.
If it was only the son of a Great Emperor, then no matter what, there was no way they could control the Yin Saints, right?
Did the Yin Saints need to give face to the Great Emperor?
When one had reached the height of a Saint, they could always flee. Even if they wielded the Imperial Weapon, they still wouldn’t be able to do anything to them.
“Er, could it be that the Great Emperors of the past had reached some kind of agreement with the Netherworld?” the large black dog guessed.
Ling Han’s mind whirred, and he said, “Take the Saint Tomb that we went to for example. There’s not just a single corpse tower there. So, what if there’s a bronze casket underneath each corpse tower?”
The little azure dragon inhaled sharply, “You’re saying that there are more children of Great Emperors?”
Ling Han nodded, “It is very possible that one or two of them are extremely outstanding, and have reached the level of Pseudo-Emperor.”
Only those with the talent of a Pseudo-Emperor could pose real threat to Saints. How many Saints had Buddha Doga killed in the past? This showed that when a Pseudo-Emperor wanted to kill Saints, Saints were not even qualified to flee.
That being the case, it was at least understandable that the Yin Saints would cooperate.
“If these deductions are all correct, then why would the sons of the Great Emperors do this?” the little azure dragon asked.
This was indeed an unsolved mystery.
In the past, the might of the Great Emperors had shaken the world, and they had been invincible for an era. As the sons of the Great Emperors, what else did they have to aspire for?
This was because the theoretical lifespan of the Great Emperor was 10 million years. If they lived another life, it would be a lifespan of 20 million years. They would definitely live a much, much longer time than their own childrenand grandchildren.
Thus, the Great Emperor’s children would always be enveloped by the strongest halo of glory, and there was no need for them to have any reservations.
What was there to pursue?
“First, become Emperor!” everyone concluded.
Only one Great Emperor could appear in an era. Thus, no matter how outstanding the child of a Great Emperor was, it was useless. The heaven and earth did not allow him to become Emperor.
Thus, if one wanted to become Emperor, they could only skip over this era.
However, there was another problem, and that was as long as there was no Emperor in this world, they could take this step. Why did they have to do it in this era?
“No, we’re taking it for granted! How can we be sure that they haven’t appeared repeatedly in history?” Ling Han immediately said. He thought of Yang Yihuan, Feng Miaoling, and the others. These people had set foot on Imperial Path quite a few times.
As long as it wasn’t a Great Emperor, they could be sealed by the Primordial Source Clay for a long time — a Great Emperor couldn’t. They were too powerful, and even the Primordial Source Clay couldn’t seal them away.
“So, they would appear every other era to fight for the chance to become Emperor?” The large black dog continued the conversation.
“Possibly,” Ling Han said with a nod. Right now, this was only a speculation.
“Then the second possibility is… immortality!”
Immortality was probably everyone’s ultimate goal.
It was because everyone feared death, and dreamed of attaining immortality.
Thus, the Battle Saint Emperor, the Canopy Demon Emperor, and Ancestral King Lingtian all went to the edge of the universe in search of a path to immortality.
However, this conjecture caused everyone to be clueless.
Even the Great Emperors hadn’t truly set foot on the path to immortality. Who could guess the truth?
“They are the children of the Great Emperors, and it’s possible that they obtained bits and pieces of information from the mouth of the Great Emperors at that time. It’s because of this that they have attempted to do this generation after generation.”
At this point in the discussion, they could only stop abruptly.
The Nine Mountains Saint left. He had other matters to attend to, and now that Ling Han and the others were getting closer and closer to Saint Tier, it was about time to reestablish the Nine Suns Holy Land.
This naturally required preparation.
Brother Monkey continued to cultivate in seclusion. He had half a foot into the Saint Tier, so he naturally had to attain it in one go.
Meanwhile, Ling Han concocted alchemical pills. This time, he had obtained a considerable amount of Celestial Qi.
As he concocted alchemical pills one after another, everyone’s strength was also rapidly improving.
Ling Han’s bottomless pit had swallowed countless Celestial Qi, but his improvement was astonishingly slow.
This was understandable, because he was too strong. This was the price that one had to pay for being strong.
Seven years later, he refined all the Celestial Qi, consuming them as he refined them.
Fifteen Stars … he was finally halfway through.
Only halfway?
Ling Han almost wanted to cry. This was too slow, wasn’t it? Was it really so difficult to break through to Venerate Tier?
What could he do now?
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
Without a new Mystery Realm or ancient site opening, he could only rely on luck to capture Celestial Qi, so his advancement naturally would be overwhelmingly slow.
No, this was too slow.
Ling Han quickly made his decision. He was going to kill Yin souls.
At present, though the battle lines had stabilized, it did not mean that there was no war.
In truth, the Netherworld didn’t care about the “lives” of the Yin souls at all. They were attacking at all times, and every time the Saints became tired to the point of being unable to control the Imperial Weapons, the Skeleton Saint Tools would open the path and push the battle line outwards.
Thus, it had actually been the Netherworld being at the upper hand all this while. When they devoured the territory of the Living Realm, their speed was not the slightest bit slow either.
“All right, then let’s go and kill the Yin souls.”
This time, Ling Han didn’t call anyone over, and he acted alone.
He snuck into the territory of the Yin souls, and began a massacre.
What abilities did he have now?
An ordinary nine-star Venerate could only be insta-killed by him. Even if he really encountered the Yin Saint, it was not that he did not have the ability to flee when he used Phoenix Wings Divine Flight. Furthermore, he had also grasped Destructive Energy, which had a very strong restraining effect on Yin souls.
Thus, he actually wasn’t too afraid of the Yin Saint.
However, it was a different story for the Skeleton Saint Tool. It was completely forged from Saintly Material, and could not be restrained by Destructive Energy. Faced with such an existence, Ling Han could only flee.
Die! Die! Die!
He killed in one location for three consecutive days, and even when he alerted the Yin Saint, he only retreated as he fought. It was only when a Skeleton Saint Tool came over, that he left after countering a single move.
But this move caused Ling Han extreme injury.
No wonder even Saints had to retreat. This Skeleton Saint Tool was really too terrifying. Even if he had already summoned the Primal Chaos Extreme Lightning Tower, two thirds of his bones had still been broken from the impact.
After spending two months to recover from his injuries, Ling Han continued to slaughter Yin souls.
This time, he was extremely careful. He didn’t give the Skeletal Saint Tool any chance to come near him.
There were more and more Yin souls that he had completely killed, and his cultivation level finally began to rapidly increase.
