Chapter 41 - Failed One After Another, And Ye Changge Went Into Closed-door Cultivation
On Reclining Firewood Peak.
Ye Changge was also making preparations.
Unlike the other three who wanted to try to become an emperor, he was not in a hurry.
He was fully prepared, and his strength was very potent. His understanding of the Heavenly Dao was not bad either.
The cultivation technique level given by the system was also very high. Just as Ye Changge thought, the emperor was just passing through, and the saint was the end.
"Shiyi, Tianxing, the two of you should cultivate well here. When I'm not around, you must remember to hide your trump cards and keep a low profile."
"If there really is something, you must kill decisively and get rid of the root of the problem."
"Especially Shiyi. Some of your previous actions don't seem very mature to me. Your younger sister is the reincarnation of an emperor, and her memories have been restored. You can listen to her more often."
Li Shi Yi's expression was awkward. He nodded and replied, "Don't worry, master. I'll do as you say!"
Ye Changge continued to exhort, "I'll activate Hidden Kindness Cave Heaven and have it cover the Hidden Edge Sect and the surrounding lands. You guys will be safe. Cultivate well."
"The cave heaven has already developed to a certain extent. It's time to reveal a portion of it. Now that the world has changed, it's not unusual for the Hidden Edge Sect's spiritual energy to become denser."
While the master and disciple were conversing seriously, Ye Changge sensed something. He waved his hand, and three scenes appeared in the cave heaven.
In one of the scenes, there was a huge toad. Its body was like a mountain, and its power was terrifying.
In the other two scenes, one showed a spiritual turtle floating in the sea. Its body was also as huge as an island.
The last one was a forest. It was densely covered with giant trees that stretched for thousands of miles. The leaves were colorful and mottled strangely. Not only did they not seem to have any signs of life, but there was also a strong aura of death.
"A toad, a turtle, and a forest. Are these the three existences who seized the heavenly secrets and tried to break through to the Emperor Realm?"
Ye Changge looked at the images and spoke calmly.
Li Shiyi looked shocked. "Master! How many emperors will appear in the end when these three have such powerful auras and become emperors at the same time?"
"In my opinion, none of them will appear, "Yu Tianxing answered on Ye Changge's behalf.
"Why is that? Younger sister, what are your justifications?"
At the same time, a change occurred in the third picture.
On the countless trees in the forest, red and stinky roots spread out in all directions, and countless branches spread out.
A huge amount of spiritual energy circulated throughout the entire forest, and the resentment of the many living beings blotted out the sky and the Sun.
On the tree trunks, blood vessels slowly appeared, expanding and contracting, as if they were the blood vessels of a human. It was an extremely strange sight.
"So he has cultivated successfully from the forest. From the looks of it, he has comprehended the law of plunder? Does he want to become a plunder emperor?"
"Younger sister, you haven't answered my question yet."
Yu Tianxing tapped on the image of the forest. "That's because they have all taken the wrong path. For example, it's obvious that he has taken the path of plunder."
"But the Great Emperor controls the Great Dao, not becoming the Great Dao himself. He has already taken the wrong path. Just look at the appearance of this forest. He only knows how to plunder. He has already been controlled by this law, but he doesn't know it."
As he started to break through to the Great Emperor Realm from the jungle, all the living beings in the Heavenly Mortal World seemed to smell a stench of rot and blood.
"This is the phenomenon of breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm. The living beings resonate with each other. Everyone will vaguely know the path that the person who broke through took."
However, as the smell became stronger, the fluctuations in the image slowly calmed down.
"What's going on?"
Ye Changge answered in place of Yu Tianxing. "He failed. In all these years, he was the first person to attempt to break through to the emperor realm. Unfortunately, he failed right at the beginning."
Emperors were beings who controlled laws, not people who were controlled by laws. This person had indeed gone down the wrong path in wanting to become an emperor.
Plundering was just a means to an end. Plundering for the sake of plundering would only lead to death if one tried to break through to the emperor realm.
It had ended right from the start. This was his destiny.
The jungle in the third image began to wither rapidly.
Before long, only ashes were left on the ground. The aura was no longer there.
Sighing internally, Ye Changge looked at the other two images.
After a few more breaths, all the living beings in the Mortal World could feel water vapor surrounding them.
The moist water vapor drifted into the distance. The living beings in the desert were replenished and filled with vitality.
"This person has comprehended the Great Dao of water?"
"I don't know for sure. It must be related to the water element. Maybe it's related to the laws of the ocean."
Those who couldn't see the scene from afar were all shocked.
First, an unpleasant smell came, and then the smell disappeared.
This meant that an expert had started to break through to the Emperor Realm and failed.
Without any other signs, an expert who had been cultivating for many years and hiding for many years had disappeared.
Before they could react, another phenomenon appeared.
"Are quasi-emperors trying to break through to the Emperor realm one after another?"
"Are they trying to seize the initiative?"
"Can they succeed? How many quasi-emperors are doing this?"
No one knew.
Before the water vapor dissipated and there were no other changes, gusts of wind began to swirl around the crowd.
The water vapor accompanied the various forms of wind and danced in the air, creating a beautiful sight.
Anyone who knew what this meant was shocked beyond words.
"Another quasi-emperor is trying to break through!"
"Could it be that we'll be able to see the birth of a new emperor today?"
"It's hard to say. Didn't you see that another quasi-emperor had already failed?"
Ye Changge read half of the story on Reclining Firewood Peak and smiled. He didn't intend to continue reading.
"They look suspicious. They look confident on the surface, but in fact, they are all afraid."
"Otherwise, why would they have the idea of seizing the opportunity?"
"To put it bluntly, they are afraid that someone is stronger than them and will be one step ahead. They are also afraid that they will lose the opportunity."
Shaking his head, Ye Changge said, "I'm going into closed-door cultivation. When I come out, I'll be the Emperor."
Li Shiyi and Yu Tianxing stood up. "I wish you success, Master!"
After Ye Changge disappeared into the depths of Hidden Kindness Cave Heaven.
"Younger sister, do you think Master will really succeed? And what if someone really takes the initiative? Even if the giant frog and the spirit turtle in this image fail, there are still others."
Compared to Li Shiyi, Yu Tianxing was more confident. "True experts don't fear these things."
"Why did the Emperor's opportunity only appear now? It's not because the world has changed, but because Master is powerful enough to cause the world to change."
"Those people are waiting for an opportunity. Master is powerful enough to create his own opportunity. Just you wait, Master will definitely succeed."
As soon as he finished speaking, the giant turtle shell in the sword of heaven's image shattered and let out a shrill cry.
He had also failed.
