Chapter 496 River Stagnation

After thinking for a moment, Chen Qian asked another question.

Such a figure deserves a remarkable chapter in human history. Perhaps I can start from other places to seek some clues that the Heavenly Emperor cannot tell, and uncover the truth behind it all.

"White without darkness."

The Heavenly Emperor uttered three words.

Bai Wu'an...

It's a somewhat strange name that doesn't fit modern aesthetics, yet it has a strange, inexplicable charm.

Shen Qianxian memorized the name, then suddenly realized something and his pupils contracted.

His surname is Bai, and he is an Emperor-level powerhouse... If we were to give him a title of respect, wouldn't "Emperor Bai" be quite fitting?

And the White Emperor... wasn't the scroll that the King of Words had asked him to find when he entered the Sea of ​​Learning named the White Emperor?

Could it be that he has some connection with this Emperor-level powerhouse named Bai Wu'an?

Furthermore, in some of the King of Words' memories, there is always a figure whose face cannot be seen. This figure taught the King of Words various subjects and guided him to break through to the King level. He can be considered a teacher-like figure.

Strangely, after reviewing various materials, Shen found no record of this matter.

The King of Words had no teachers or mentors known to the outside world.

That figure has almost faded into oblivion throughout history, leaving only a lingering image in the depths of the King of Words' memory.

But if that is Bai Wu'an, then the timeline doesn't quite match up.

The collapse of the Celestial Realm occurred more than two thousand years ago. Therefore, Bai Wu'an must have appeared at least several thousand years ago, which is too far removed from the rise of the Word Spirit King during the early stages of the spiritual energy revival.

If Bai Wu'an had still existed during the early stages of the spiritual energy revival, and if there had been an Emperor-level powerhouse, the human race probably wouldn't have been able to endure so many hardships.

In the most critical moments, the alien creatures that invaded from the "gate" have brought humanity to the brink of extinction more than once.

But before sinking, he wasn't entirely sure.

What if the King of Words is also a resurrected ancient powerhouse?

Although the King of Words still has the presence of the Earl of Pingyang in his early memories, it is not impossible that the two of them came from ancient times together.

After all, the origins of the first kings and nobles are vague and shrouded in mystery in history textbooks.

The Zhou Dynasty was connected to the Zhou Yi Wangdu, and it is not surprising that Yanling Wang had a master-disciple relationship with the earlier Baidi.

"The lifespan of a Taiyi Golden Immortal can reach eight thousand years, making them a powerful figure among immortals and gods. However, throughout the heavens, to be able to move freely and receive the utmost respect, one must still advance further and reach the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal."

The Heavenly Emperor glanced at his increasingly thin figure, not giving Shenqian much time to think, and quickly spoke again, albeit somewhat hastily.

"A Great Golden Immortal possesses the power to destroy heaven and earth, and can be said to live as long as heaven and earth and shine as brightly as the sun and moon. If no calamity befalls him, he can live for eighteen thousand years."

"Great Golden Immortal..."

He reacted for a moment before sinking, and was also somewhat shaken.

Nearly 20,000 years is truly outrageous; this could be considered true immortality.

Shen Qian quickly thought of the two mortal enemies he had already provoked: Duke Yanshan and Duke Tianning...

The term "Great Luo Golden Immortal" corresponds precisely to the level they occupy.

Judging from the Heavenly Emperor's brief description... Holy crap, these old silver coins that usually don't stand out seem to be far more powerful than he imagined!

Although on the battlefield of the Nine Heavens, Duke Tianning seemed to be forced into a rather disheveled state by Jiang Huan.

But upon closer reflection, Shen Qian had never actually experienced the combat power of someone at this level directly.

Over time, Shen Qian had overcome several indirect threats from them without incident, which led him to develop a subtle feeling that these two were not so scary after all.

At this moment, the words from the Heavenly Emperor made Shen Qian realize his mistake and become vigilant again.

Even from between the lines, one can clearly sense that the difference between an ordinary Golden Immortal and a Great Luo Golden Immortal is probably enormous.

"Erlang Shen and Jiutian Xuannü must have been at this level once too..."

Seeing that the Heavenly Emperor did not deny it, Shen Qian thought of even more things at this moment.

Although their performance in Yaochi Palace suggests they are not worthy of this realm, it's understandable considering they are merely resurrected remnant souls whose strength is far from their former peak.

Moreover, it cannot be ruled out that they may have hidden some trump cards or some of their strength.

In the end, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden faced Jiang Chengye, who was nearly a Martial King, at the moment of life and death, so it was normal that she had no power to resist.

"It seems there's no end to the story. The road ahead is long, but isn't it a beautiful journey to overcome obstacles with a spirit of inquiry?"

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly spoke, his voice deep and enigmatic, "Your path may have been destined to be different from anyone else's..."

Shen Qian awoke with a start, only to find that the Heavenly Emperor's already illusory form had become so thin that it began to dissipate little by little, like a flame that had burned out.

No!

Chen Qian was somewhat impatient because the other party had not yet mentioned the most important key point, which was the real difference between a Great Luo Golden Immortal and a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

This will not only help Shen Qian perfect his path to becoming a clone, but also allow him to gain a deeper understanding of potential enemies like Yanshan Gong.

But seeing that the Heavenly Emperor was unlikely to give a complete answer to the question, Shen Qian's mind raced, and he quickly asked, "Heavenly Emperor, you haven't answered my first question yet. Why was the Path to Martial King cut off?"

"The Primordial Golden Immortal is an existence that has touched the ultimate rules. There are countless Great Daos, but they all lead to the same destination. Rivers converge and eventually reach their end."
