884 Scary Conversation
Eternal Ascension World, Dao Opening Sect:
As one of the most powerful sect in this Chaos World, it has a special place called Ancestral Hall. Inside, there was only one person–an elderly man who was dozing off in a chair. Around was a group of statuses organized into three layers.
The lower layer had the most status, followed by the second and the top layer. The statuses were life-like, but some were unique. A few had cracks or had their entire face destroyed.
In each layer, some of the statuses had crowns on their head while others did not. Furthermore, the crowns came in two different colors once they reached the second layer and above.
While the elderly man was taking his nap, a white light flashed in the room, and a new status appeared in the third layer, wearing a crown,
As soon as the status appeared, the elderly sensed something and woke up. He first looked confused before noticing the anomaly. He had been staying in this room for a few Yuan Epochs, so he knew it like the back of his hand.
He quickly noticed the new status and looked at it in shock.
'A new Emperor? No, even a new Eternal? How is that possible? The sect has been closed for so long.'
The elderly man was confused for a moment before thinking about something.
'The Lower Dimension?' he thought with excitement. 'After so many years, can they cultivate an Eternal?'
Many people in the upper dimension believed the luck of the lower dimension's sect had run out and would not cultivate a new
Emperor for a long time, let alone an Eternal.
'It's good news the tenth one finally appeared. However, this might cause trouble,' thought the elderly man as he looked at the statue with no face. He was not surprised as the latter would need to ascend before the status would be generated, finally connecting the new Emperor to the luck of their sect.
However, with the current political situation of the Eternal Ascension World, it's not a good thing for their sect to have a talented Eternal Emperor.
'Let's first seal the manifestation of luck to prevent anyone from detecting the appearance of this new Emperor.'
The moment they acquire a new Emperor or cultivator above, the sect's luck will manifest in a grandiose manner so that everybody can celebrate. So, even if they are in a sealed state, this fact does not change.
However, before the elderly man could make a move, he discovered someone might have been faster than him. An unknown and incomprehensible power seemed to have hidden this fact before him.
'This power,' he thought with horror. 'Only one of the two could have done such a thing.'
Origin Seal Continent:
"What has gotten you so riled up?" asked Wu Hong, who sensed her presence a little agitated.
"The little brat succeeded," said the Sword Empress, not hiding her excitement as a terrifying Sword Will flashed in her eyes.
"What are you talking about?" asked Wu Hong in wonder.
"Your future husband," she replied. "He succeeded in proving the Dao."
Wu Hong's eyes showed slight surprise, "Yes, it's around this time for the battle. Well, with the talent he showed, it's normal to become Emperor. He should have become an Eternal, right?"
"You don't understand," said the Sword Empress. "I would not be so excited even if he became an Eternal Emperor."
"Did something happen?"
"The luck this kid provided to the sect was on par with a Paragon," said the Sword Empress. "More importantly, his luck was unique; it was Memorialized Luck."
Wu Hong squinted her eyes after hearing this. Heaven and Earth only grant Memorialized Luck to people with certain achievements that affect an entire world. In the lower dimension, it was rather easier to acquire it than the upper dimension; however, it was still difficult to acquire.
For example, the Dao Opening Sect in the lower dimension had the Memorialized Luck for spreading the cultivation system to the world. With this luck, Heavenly Dao would usually ensure the survival of the sect.
This kind of luck is why sects from the Pill Ancestor, Formation Ancestor, Talisman Ancestor, Array Ancestor, and Weapon Ancestor have survived countless catastrophes until the current era.
In the upper dimension, the Dao Opening Sect has only achieved Memorialized Luck thrice, and the two times were for the First and Second Origin Wars.
"Do you know what he did?" asked Wu Hong.
"No, someone is blocking the news. I fail to divine the truth from the sect's luck."
"Them?"
"No."
"True Heavenly Dao?"
"No, above."
Wu Hong showed another surprised look as she knew the implications behind these words.
"What did he do?"
"I don't know. However, such an act can count as the sect's fourth Memorialized Luck."
It's a million times harder to acquire Memorialized Luck in the upper dimension than in the lower, so they are usually separated.
"This news is not necessarily a good thing," added Wu Hong.
"Indeed. With Supreme Unity's personality, he wouldn't care about the previous argument and should have attacked the sect. But now, he hasn't, so this could mean one thing?"
"She intervened," said Wu Hong, her voice a little more indifferent than before.
"Sometimes, you're too stubborn," said the Sword Empress as she knew why her friend's attitude suddenly changed so drastically. However, Wu Hong did not continue this topic:
"What are you going to do?" she asked.
"This luck is enough for me to return to the Empyrean Realm and revive Qiyuan," said the Sword Empress, her eyes brighter than the moon during a full moon. However, her friend did not share her excitement.
"Supreme Unity might tolerate the others in Limbo, but he won't accept their revival," she reminded.
"That's why I will ask Maitreya for help."
"Well, that's not a bad idea."
"I thought you would try to dissuade me."
"I know what kind of person she is. I just want answers and an apology."
"I'm sure she has no qualms about apologizing. But answers…"
Dark Truth Fog:
Supreme Unity immediately noticed a change between Heaven and Earth as soon as Wang Wei became Emperor. Although Maitreya hid the changes in the Dao Opening Sect, he noticed other anomalies.
The luck of the Lower Dimension showed an exponential increase trend. And once that happens, True Heavenly Dao will regain some powers and have better ways to fight against him.
And if the Upper Dimension is also affected, showing signs of revival, then he will suffer terrible consequences.
So, he placed his gaze on the source of his trouble. The blockade of the Lower Dimension meant nothing to him.
'Don't even think about it," said a beautiful yet noble voice. Maitreya opened her eyes and looked at him. "The moment you chose that path, you were doomed."
"Do you really want to fight for a little ant?"
"If he is such an ant, why do you want to kill him at all costs?"
Supreme Unity did not answer as he sensed her determination; she would really fight him to death to prevent him from killing that brat. He felt frustration and anger for a moment before these emotions swiftly vanished.
He closed his eyes, continuing to focus on this fog; he had to rely on the Heavenly Book to deal with the current situation, so he needed to be patient.
In a white space:
Two people stood in an all-white space, looking at a small orb before them. Although the space appeared white, it was only a manifestation for certain people.
This white space contained all power in existence, fused and existing at all times. Whether it was time, space, death, creation, logic, dream, or the mind–it contained everything.
This place had many names, but these two knew it as Hongmeng, the place of beginning and end.
The two people before the orb were a young man and a woman, the man had gray hair, while the woman had luscious black hair.
"Do you have to do this?" asked the woman. Although she was smiling and giggling a while ago, now she was serious, knowing the consequences of their actions.
"If something happens to you during one of the Time Nexus, there will be consequences."
"That's exactly why I'm doing it," replied the young man, whose eyes seemed to contain all truths in the universe.
"I thought I had succeeded in achieving my goal but discovered how wrong I was. First, I had to be restricted by the rules of Hongmeng. Then, I discovered people who stood above my head.'
His mind thought of the Five Supreme Beings who stood at the top of Hongmeng.
"If this plan succeeds, I will stand toe-to-toe with these five, truly reaching the pinnacle, not worrying about rules and regulations."
"I always support your ambitions, but there has to be a better way to do this."
"This is the only fast and effective method I can think of," said the young man. The woman was quiet for a moment, "Alright, be careful."
"Huh, I thought you would continue to persuade me."
"I just want to know you're not doing this on a whim or moment of anger. Since you've thought this through, I will support you.
"Plus, what is the worst that can happen?"
"Years of suppression, torment, humiliation, and a drastic weakening of power," replied the young man.
"Those are nothing," she said; they have transcended death, so no matter what happens, even Hongmeng and those five cannot kill them. However, some things are indeed worse than death.
"Yes, as long we are alive, we can try again," said the young man as he looked at the small orb, which was a Chaos Universe.
The young man observed all lives in this Chaos Universe, focusing on one especially. Although he could instantly annihilate this universe, including all parallel timelines, all dimensions, and all lives, including Grand Dao, he could no longer interfere after setting things in motion.
Now, he has to wait for the final result, hoping his preparations are enough for this plan to succeed.
Then, he can ascend to the top of Hongmeng.
