Qin Feng recalled the experts he had met, whose highest cultivation level was the same as those in front of him—the peak of the Emperor Realm.
Although they are only one step away from the Emperor Realm, none of them are Emperor Realm.
This piqued his curiosity.
He knew of three people at the Emperor Realm.
One is the Gengjin Emperor, another is Ling Xuan, the ancestor of the Ling family, and the third is a masked man whose specific identity is unknown.
The Gengjin Emperor was in a state of severe damage to his remnant soul, and his cultivation level had fallen to the King Realm.
The information about the Ling family's ancestors was transmitted to him by the Flying Rainbow Emperor Sword. At that time, Ling Xuan was fighting desperately with a black-robed man wearing a hideous demon mask, and the two ultimately perished together. (Mentioned in Chapter 402)
Apart from that, Qin Feng had never actually seen a living Emperor Realm expert before, which left him both curious and confused.
He knew, of course, that advancing to the Emperor Realm wasn't easy, but it was unusual for it to be so rare even in the Holy Domain.
Looking at Qin Feng's pensive and confused expression, Qingchen Laodao, Xiao Xiong, and the others knew what the outcome would be and were not surprised.
Xiao Xiong shook his head and said self-deprecatingly:
"It's normal that you haven't seen it. Even those of us who seem to be high and mighty in power have only seen it occasionally."
Su Yun echoed, "Yes, it's true, Emperor Realm experts are hard to find, even in this so-called Holy Domain."
When Yan Wansheng, Yunxiao, and the old Taoist Qingchen spoke of this, they all sighed, their faces bitter and sorrowful.
Seeing them sighing and complaining, Qin Feng became even more puzzled and couldn't help but ask:
"Seniors, according to what you've said, isn't there someone who can advance to the Emperor Realm?"
Why do you all seem so lacking in confidence? Is there some hidden secret?
The old Taoist priest Qingchen explained:
"This is not exactly a secret. According to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, those who want to advance to the Emperor Realm must have great fortune."
The reason why there were so many emperors in the past was because the world was full of vitality and there was a sufficient supply of fortune.
But they said that the world had changed many years ago, and the remaining fortune was limited, making it very difficult to advance to the Emperor Realm.
To advance to the Emperor Realm, one must accumulate enough luck?
Xiao Xiong added:
"Yes, but the concept of luck is vague and intangible. In fact, people have a very vague understanding of luck and don't know where to start."
Later, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion provided the solution and organized a once-in-a-century battle for destiny.
By defeating your opponent, you seize their fortune, and in this way, you accumulate your own fortune.
Yan Wansheng continued:
"At first, everyone was skeptical of what the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion said, but after each battle of destiny, the final victor was basically able to step into the Emperor Realm, so this once-in-a-century battle of destiny spread."
Yunxiao sighed:
"The struggle for destiny is far too fierce; one wrong move and you could die and perish."
Each time, all the peak-level Emperors from across the continent participate, it becomes a killing field, where less than one in a hundred survives.
Qin Feng frowned upon hearing this, able to imagine the scene where everyone would fight tooth and nail, even to the point of death, for this so-called luck.
He just felt that something was off about this battle of destiny, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
In particular, according to Yan Wansheng, the person who wins each time can step into the Emperor Realm, which he found very strange.
Qin Feng couldn't help but ask, "Tianji Pavilion? What kind of organization is that? I've never heard of it before."
Old Daoist Qingchen chuckled, "You haven't been in the Holy Domain for long, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it. Let me tell you about it."
Qin Feng cupped his hands in greeting, "This junior is all ears."
The old Taoist priest waved his hand and began to explain.
"It is said that the Tianji Pavilion was established a long time ago, so long ago that no one can remember exactly when it was established."
It is said that whenever there is a great change in the world or a major disaster, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion will give a hint to guide the people of the entire continent to overcome the difficulties.
That is why Tianji Pavilion is respected by everyone, and its words are believed by all.
For a long time, for reasons unknown, there were no Emperors in this land.
Later, Tianwen, the head of the Tianji Pavilion, gave a hint, saying that the reason for the great changes in the world and the lack of fortune was that in order to advance to the Emperor Realm, one must first accumulate enough fortune.
This also led to the once-in-a-century struggle for destiny.
At first, everyone was skeptical, but Tianwen, as the first winner, successfully advanced to the Emperor Realm, silencing all doubts.
He proved with facts that the concept of luck exists and is feasible.
Xiao Xiong said with a mixture of anticipation and worry:
"Yes, although everyone is still skeptical, how can people not yearn for the fact that the winners of each competition can step into the Emperor Realm? It's just that the scene is too terrifying."
After hearing this, Qin Feng gained a certain understanding of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and the struggle for destiny.
However, he still had questions: "A great change in the world, a great calamity? What is the cause?"
The old Taoist priest Qingchen slowly explained:
"I don't know the reason for the great changes in the world. It manifests as the spiritual energy becoming thin and volatile, and there are strange changes in the world such as landslides, earthquakes, and the collapse of heaven and earth."
As for major calamities, such as invasions by foreign enemies or attempts by evil cultivators to destroy the world, these scenarios have all occurred, but they were all eventually resolved.
Qin Feng gleaned a crucial piece of information: "Invasion from elsewhere, evil cultivators?"
The old Taoist priest nodded and explained:
"Yes, there were people from other regions who tried to invade our continent, but they were wiped out by our predecessors."
There are also evil cultivators who have gone astray in their cultivation, losing their original nature in pursuit of power.
