"Greetings, Blood Emperor!"
"Greetings, Blood Emperor!"
Just then, some powerful ghost cultivators discovered Lin Yun. Upon seeing him, they were all surprised and quickly rushed over to respectfully bow.
At this moment, Lin Yun also discovered that some ghost cultivators had already broken through to the Divine Realm.
Moreover, there wasn't just one, but two.
They are respectively Emperor Liwei, the ruler of the twenty-ninth heaven of the Netherworld, and Guomuboer, the ruler of the twenty-seventh heaven.
As it turns out, their talent was indeed very strong, as they were able to break through the twenty-seventh and twenty-ninth heavens so early after Lin Yun's reincarnation. With the powerful opportunity of Lin Yun breaking through eighteen new heavens in succession, they finally broke through to the new realm opened up by the continuous breaking of new heavens in the Netherworld: the Divine Realm!
The Realm of Ghosts and Gods!
Lin Yun raised his eyes and saw that the Three-Eyed Emperor among his subordinates was still at the peak Saint King realm.
Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and the Netherworld has changed a lot. When Lin Yun left, the Three-Eyed Emperor was still the strongest person besides him. Now, he has probably lost his position as the second strongest person.
This is the drawback of acquired ghost cultivation.
Lin Yun shook his head inwardly.
Otherwise, the Three-Eyed Emperor's talent was also extremely strong, and he could have broken through to the Divine Realm long ago.
"Good, cultivate diligently and strive to reach a higher realm as soon as possible!" Lin Yun looked at Guomuboer and Emperor Liwei, nodded slightly, and said with approval in his tone.
"Thank you for your praise, Blood Emperor! We will definitely work hard in our cultivation!"
Hearing Lin Yun's praise, Guomuboer and Emperor Liwei were very happy and said repeatedly.
Guomuboer felt a sense of relief. Back then, after the Blood Emperor was reincarnated, he was the first ghost cultivator to break through the new heaven of the Netherworld. His strength was not to say that he was the number one in the Netherworld, but he was definitely in the top three. How glorious he was!
However, as one ghost cultivator after another broke through to new heights and rose to prominence, his ranking began to decline. In the end, when many ghost cultivators in the Netherworld were ranked among the Nine Emperors, he was not even among them. How frustrated he must have been at that time.
Some time ago, seeing the Three-Eyed Emperor's strength continuously increasing, and many powerful peak Saint King level ghost cultivators being no match for him, he was quite envious!
However, he had heard from the Blood Emperor that the Acquired God Clan could not break through to the God Realm. The Three-Eyed Emperor was an Acquired God Clan member. He suppressed his envy and secretly harbored a strong desire to surpass the Three-Eyed Emperor!
Finally, his talent was revealed, his strength rose again, and he became the first ghost cultivator in the Netherworld to break through to the God Realm after the Blood Emperor!
As his skills improved and his strength became more solid, his power grew stronger and stronger. Ten thousand years ago, when he fought against the Three-Eyed Emperor, he had already surpassed the Three-Eyed Emperor, which restored his confidence, pride and other pride!
At this moment, he felt even more strongly about Lin Yun's praise!
Of course, he would never dare to surpass Lin Yun. Lin Yun broke through eighteen new heavens in the Netherworld in succession, and in his previous life he also broke through eight new heavens in the Netherworld. In total, he broke through twenty-six new heavens, which can be said to be unprecedented and most likely to be unparalleled in the future.
Even if he were to gain the power to break through two or three more layers of the Heavenly Realm in the future, he would never dare to surpass Lin Yun's strength. He sincerely submits to everything Lin Yun has to offer.
On the other side, Empress Liwei was no less excited than Guomuboer. She had feelings for Lin Yun, and seeing Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, and Ziyun with Lin Yun gave her even more confidence. Over the past hundreds of thousands of years, she had cultivated tirelessly and finally broke through to the Divine Realm. Receiving praise from Lin Yun at this moment made all her efforts over the past hundreds of thousands of years worthwhile.
How could Lin Yun not sense what the two were thinking?
Lin Yun didn't feel anything about Guomuboer's thoughts. Which top-level expert doesn't have a competitive spirit? Which one doesn't have arrogance? Guomuboer, whether it was his past achievements or his current achievements, is considered top-tier in the entire Netherworld. It's normal for him to have such a temperament!
However, Liwei Dijun's thoughts made him smile bitterly. It is normal for outstanding people to be admired by the opposite sex, but if such admiration is not reciprocated for a long time, it will be gradually abandoned. He had not paid much attention to Liwei Dijun's thoughts when he sensed them earlier.
Unexpectedly, even after hundreds of thousands of years in the Netherworld and the other party had broken through to the God Realm, they were still so persistent, which gave him a headache.
If Emperor Liwei were just an ordinary ghost cultivator, it wouldn't matter. But she has already broken through to the Divine Realm, and her strength is even stronger than that of Emperor Three-Eyed. In addition, she hasn't done anything wrong, so he can't just let her go away.
Lin Yun simply stopped thinking about it.
"Everyone, disperse and go about your business. Three-Eyed, come with me for a moment!" Lin Yun said to the ghost cultivators, and finally looked at the Three-Eyed Emperor.
"Yes, my lord!" the Three-Eyed Emperor replied respectfully.
A moment later, Lin Yun and the Three-Eyed Emperor arrived at a secluded place. Lin Yun turned to the Three-Eyed Emperor and smiled, "Seeing that other ghost cultivators are stronger than you, have you felt any disappointment?"
"Fortunately, the Three-Eyed Emperor was prepared for this." The Three-Eyed Emperor smiled and said, which was the truth. He had already prepared himself for this long ago when Lin Yun said that the Day-End Ghost Cultivator could not break through to the Divine Realm.
Currently, his strength is only slightly inferior to Guomuboer and Emperor Liwei, but far surpasses that of ordinary peak Saint King level ghost cultivators. Even some ghost cultivators who claim to be invincible Saint Kings are no match for him. He is already very satisfied and grateful to Lin Yun for bringing him such strength.
If it weren't for Lin Yun, his strength would probably only be similar to that of the Martial Emperor and the Ao Emperor. The current Martial Emperor and the Ao Emperor are not much stronger than before. This is the difference between having opportunities and not having them. With talent and opportunities, one can transform into a dragon when the winds of change blow, just like Guo Muboer and Emperor Liwei. Without opportunities, like the Martial Emperor and the Ao Emperor, let alone after only a few hundred thousand years, even after hundreds of millions of years, one's strength may not improve much.
Moreover, without Lin Yun's permission, Emperor Wu and Emperor Ao could not enter the High Heavens to cultivate. The time they experienced was less than hundreds of thousands of years, at most only tens of thousands of years. This was only because Lin Yun later opened up the Thirty-Seventh to Forty-Fifth Heavens. Otherwise, the time they experienced would have been at most only a few thousand years.
Fortunately, Lin Yun didn't hold it against him for attacking him back then; otherwise, he would be in the same situation as Emperor Wu and Emperor Ao.
However... it's difficult to go any further.
The acquired ghost cultivator could only reach the peak of the Saint King realm...
Thinking of this, the Three-Eyed Emperor sighed inwardly.
Which cultivator doesn't want to become stronger? Unfortunately, the path ahead is blocked; what can he do?
Is reincarnation the only way?
Involuntarily, the Three-Eyed Emperor recalled this matter, thinking that even the powerful Blood Emperor had been reincarnated!
Although Lin Yun had told him that he was a descendant of the Three-Eyed Clan and that if he went to the Three-Eyed Clan ruins, he might have a chance to break through to the God Realm, he was initially excited and expectant, but as time went by, he gradually became more sober.
The Blood Emperor once said that their acquired god race has an innate defect. Even if he were to break through to the God Realm by chance, could he go any further?
He already knew that breaking through to the Divine Realm was not the end, but a new beginning. Seeing Guomuboer and Emperor Liwei break through to the Divine Realm one after another, this thought intensified in his mind.
If he breaks through to the Divine Realm but is only limited to the current realms of Guomuboer and Emperor Liwei, what difference would there be between him and the current state of the Divine Realm?
At that time, he would also have to face the question of whether he would be reincarnated.
"Now, I'll give you three choices. First, I'll take you to the ruins of the Three-Eyed Clan. See if you can find something there to awaken your Three-Eyed Clan bloodline and make up for your acquired ghost cultivation deficiency. However, I can't judge to what extent you can make up for your acquired ghost cultivation deficiency. Moreover, even if you make up for your acquired ghost cultivation deficiency, you'll still have to walk the path to the Divine Realm step by step."
Secondly, I have some low-grade and mid-grade divine sparks here. After you refine a low-grade divine spark, you can directly reach the lower-level divine realm. Then, by refining a mid-grade divine spark, you can reach the middle-level divine realm. Right now, I don't have any high-grade divine sparks, but I will definitely have some in the future. At that time, you can refine them to reach the upper-level divine realm. Furthermore, if I obtain a top-grade divine spark later, you can refine it to reach the peak divine realm!
The downside is that after you break through, you will only reach the ordinary divine realm of the same level, and without a higher-grade divine spark, it will be difficult to reach a higher realm through your own cultivation!
Thirdly, there is reincarnation. However, I don't recommend you take this path now, because I cannot find your reincarnation body at present. You can only be guided by your own awakening and contacting me. But opportunistic reincarnation is meaningless. True reincarnation, relying on one's own awakening, is extremely difficult. In the future, I may have a way to find someone's reincarnation body. If you choose this path, I suggest you do it then.
Lin Yun spoke slowly, giving the Three-Eyed Emperor three paths in succession.
"By taking the second path, one can quickly reach the intermediate level of the Divine Realm? And even potentially the peak level of the Divine Realm in the future?" Listening to Lin Yun's explanation, especially when he talked about the second path, the Three-Eyed Emperor was shocked. After Lin Yun finished speaking, he couldn't help but speak up.
Previously, he had asked Lin Yun about the realms of the Divine Realm. He knew very well that the Upper Divine Realm realm was already a formidable existence among countless Divine Realm experts, and the Peak Divine Realm realm was an existence that could be counted on one hand.
Even if they are just ordinary beings of the same realm.
Having cultivated himself to the peak of the Saint King realm, he could say that among the countless cultivators in the world, those who are truly gifted and whose strength far surpasses that of ordinary cultivators of the same level are extremely rare, perhaps one in a hundred.
If those at the pinnacle of the divine realm are truly few and far between, then even if he were to become an ordinary one among them, he would still be an exceptionally transcendent being.
It can be said that this is also a path with unlimited potential.
In particular, Lin Yun said that this kind of cultivation does not require much effort, as long as one has enough high-level divine sparks. In fact, if he agrees, he can quickly become a mid-level divine realm cultivator and even surpass the current realms of Guomuboer and Emperor Liwei.
It's fair to say that this is a very appealing path.
"That's right. There are many powerful beings in the Divine Realm in this world. Even among countless powerful beings, those who reach the peak of the Divine Realm are few and far between. If you choose the first or third path, you may not necessarily reach that level in the future. Looking back at the history of the Three-Eyed Clan, only one member of the Three-Eyed Clan reached the peak of the Divine Realm during the creation of the world. The others were at most at the upper-level Divine Realm, and at most, they were not weak even among those at the upper-level Divine Realm." Lin Yun nodded slightly and said.
He wasn't favoring either path; he was simply stating a fact.
The second path, which may seem to have the least potential, is not necessarily a bad one. It just requires strong support from behind.
In peacetime, he probably wouldn't have promised the Three-Eyed Emperor a top-grade divine spark in the future, because those at the peak of the divine realm are extremely rare among countless divine realm cultivators.
It might not happen for many years to see a peak God Realm expert fall. Even if they do fall, their divine spark might not fall into their hands. Even if they are lucky enough to obtain one, does that mean they have to give it to the Three-Eyed Emperor?
However, in the future, he will inevitably have a great battle with the acquired gods, and he will also inevitably fight against some cultivators at the peak of the divine realm. If he kills a few cultivators at the peak of the divine realm and obtains their top-grade divine sparks, he will be able to do so. He doesn't have many capable people around him now, and the Three-Eyed Emperor has been of great help to him recently. Giving him one would not be a big deal.
On the other hand, the first and third paths are not very cost-effective. Even with great effort, one might not reach the heights of the second path with the first, and the third path carries the risk of falling into a cycle of reincarnation, which would truly lead to utter ruin.
"The Three-Eyed God Clan, in the entire history, has only had one person reach the peak of the God Realm?" Sure enough, upon hearing Lin Yun's words, the Three-Eyed Emperor was slightly surprised. He had heard Lin Yun say that the Three-Eyed God Clan was a formidable group among the countless innate god clans.
He didn't think Lin Yun was lying to him. There was no need for it. Once he broke through to the Divine Realm and entered the circle of the Divine Realm, he would find out about this sooner or later.
Therefore, he understood even more the weight of Lin Yun's words: among countless cultivators in the Divine Realm, only a handful have reached the peak of the Divine Realm.
The number of people who reach the peak of the Divine Realm is truly very small, and it is really difficult to reach. Perhaps it is even more difficult than for ordinary ghost cultivators in the Netherworld to reach the peak of the Saint King Realm, no, even more difficult than reaching the Divine Realm.
"Um?"
Just then, the Three-Eyed Emperor suddenly had a thought.
But then he thought of something: if the peak God Realm was really that rare, then why did the Blood Emperor say that if one were to obtain a top-grade Godhead in the future... a top-grade Godhead could only be obtained by completely killing a peak God Realm expert.
If the Blood Emperor isn't just boasting, then... the Blood Emperor might very well become an enemy of cultivators at the peak of the Divine Realm in the future.
Thinking this, the Three-Eyed Emperor felt a jolt in his heart.
He felt that the possibility of the Blood Emperor exaggerating was extremely small, while the possibility of the latter was extremely large.
But can the Blood Emperor really make an enemy of a cultivator at the peak of the Divine Realm?
Your Highness the Crown Prince... Your Highness the Crown Prince...
He had originally wondered if the Blood Emperor, in his previous life as a god, might have been the crown prince of a certain god clan!
Now it seems that when the Blood Emperor was a god in his previous life, even if he was the crown prince of a certain god clan, that god clan's ruler was definitely an extremely top-tier race among countless gods!
Because... the Blood Emperor's enemies are very likely not just one peak God Realm expert! But many!
He was self-aware. If there was only one peak God Realm expert, and the Blood Emperor had killed him, leaving only one top-grade Godhead, would he be qualified to obtain that top-grade Godhead?
However, this did not affect the Three-Eyed Emperor's state of mind much. The strong often have the determination to face difficulties head-on, rather than thinking of retreating when they hear about difficulties. Even if he perishes, he can simply enter the cycle of reincarnation. It saves him the trouble of considering any third path now.
