Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 196 Half a Year Period
Once you step out of the ancient snow mountain, you can see the Blood God Cult in the distance.

As one of the seven ancient sects in the Central Region, the Blood God Sect has declined in recent years, but even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse, and it is still one of the top hegemonic forces in Tiantai Prefecture.

The epic battle in the ancient snow mountain terrified the Blood God Sect, prompting them to activate their protective formation. The formation's light barrier soared into the sky, its blood-red light surging, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

The talented woman from the Holy Book told him that it was the aura of the Blood-Dripping Sword that frightened away the Lord of the Undying Temple, which gave them a glimmer of hope.

But according to her guess, it was most likely not Empress Chi Yao who made the move.

Given Empress Chi Yao's personality, once she takes action, she will absolutely not leave empty-handed and allow the Lord of the Undying Temple to escape.

Are they currently within the Blood God Cult?

Di Yi shook his head, having no interest in getting involved in this love-hate entanglement that had lasted for eight hundred years, and headed back towards Qingjing Mountain.

Thirty thousand miles outside the Blood God Sect, there is a pavilion located beside the official road, which has stood for over a hundred years.

The woman in yellow sat in the pavilion, looking back in the direction of the Blood God Cult, looking lost and dejected, with endless struggle hidden deep in her eyes.

A moment later, a figure in black robes appeared outside the pavilion and slowly walked into it.

The man in black robes was surprised to see the woman in yellow's face. When he saw the scarlet holy sword placed beside her, the hair on his body stood on end, as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

"Are you Huang Yanchen or Empress Chi Yao?"

The woman in yellow looked up at him, seemingly surprised that he would ask such a question. As if something was happening to her mind, her face suddenly turned sorrowful.

Holding the Blood-Dripping Sword in her arms, Huang Yanchen stood up and walked towards the man in black robes, saying softly, "You don't need to be afraid. I am not the Empress, but just Huang Yanchen who came from the Thousand Water Kingdom."

She looked down at the Blood-Dripping Sword in her arms: "The Blood-Dripping Sword was given to me by the Empress, who told me to carry it for self-defense."

Di Yi looked at Huang Yanchen, then at the Blood-Dripping Sword, and instantly understood many things. Even if Huang Yanchen did not become a World Child, her fate had ultimately led her to this point.

If he guessed correctly, there was another Huang Yanchen beside Zhang Ruochen at this moment, Huang Yanchen who was actually Empress Chi Yao in disguise.

"So, it wasn't Empress Chi Yao who scared off the Lord of the Undying Temple with the Blood-Dripping Sword, but Princess Yanchen who did it?"

"I guess so. The Blood-Dripping Sword used the Empress's holy energy within the sword to simulate the Empress's aura, which scared him away," Huang Yanchen said.

Di Yi cupped his hands in a salute to Huang Yanchen and said, "Thank you for saving me, Princess Yanchen."

Huang Yanchen shook her head: "No need to thank me. Ziqian and Ale have helped me a lot. Saving you is a way of repaying their kindness."

With the Blood-Dripping Sword beside him, Di Yi dared not say much. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Where is Princess Yanchen planning to go?"

"do not know."

After he finished speaking, the pavilion fell silent.

Di Yi hesitated several times before finally letting out a soft sigh.

"You can leave now, but don't leave Qingjing Mountain again for at least six months."

Huang Yanchen left only this sentence before carrying the Blood-Dripping Sword and walking out of the pavilion.

This statement is both advice and a representation of a certain will.

Whether it was a chance encounter or inevitable, now that he knew about Huang Yanchen and the Blood-Dripping Sword, he had to remain silent for the next six months.

"That's far too domineering."

Di Yi shook his head helplessly.

"The situation is stronger than people."

……

Upon returning to the tranquil mountains, nothing unexpected happened at Yipintang.

Di Yi had only been gone for a few days, and few people even knew that he had left.

Sitting on the throne of the hall master, Di Yi propped his head up with one hand and leaned against one side, taking in the sky and the vast Qinghu Lake of 50,000 miles outside the hall through the crimson doors of the hall.

"A storm is brewing, and the days when I can cultivate in peace are numbered."

"I will then go into seclusion to cultivate."

Di Yi opened his palm, revealing two pills radiating holy light, treasures from the First-Class Hall.

One is called 'Xuanhuang Pill', and the other is called 'Chedi Pill'. As their names suggest, they are pills that help Saint Realm cultivators break through to the Xuanhuang Realm and the Chedi Realm.

The Profound Yellow Realm, Thorough Earth Realm, and Heaven-Reaching Realm of the Saint Realm are deeply connected with the four realms of martial arts. One needs to comprehend the connection between martial arts and the path of sainthood in order to break through these realms.

The Xuanhuang Pill, the Chedi Pill, and the most precious Tongtian Pill are all treasures that help sages comprehend the mysteries within, greatly increasing the probability and speed of breaking through realms.

The Tongtian Pill is not available in the entire Yipin Hall.

Inside the World-Stabilizing Banner, Han Qiu and A Le had both become saints and left the cultivation area that Emperor Yi had previously set up. Together with Emperor Yan, they were comprehending the path of sainthood beneath the corpse of the Dragon God.

The severely injured Heavenly Demon Shadow was also recuperating under the divine corpse, and at the same time began to attempt to refine several treasures that he had taken from the Undying Blood Clan.

Apart from the God-Slaying Cross Shield, which is temporarily unusable, the Emperor-Slaying Demon Sword, Azure Sky Bow, and White Sun Arrow are all powerful weapons.

Di Yi's figure was even closer to the corpse of the Dragon God, bathing naked in a pool of divine blood.

The energy from the Dragon Essence Pill expanded the inner world of his 144 acupoints to 30,000 cubic meters. Only by filling these 144 acupoints with blood and energy could his physical body reach the pinnacle of the Saint Realm.

At this moment, the blood and qi in the 30,000 cubic meter inner world have accumulated less than one-tenth, and there is still a long way to go before it reaches perfection.

After soaking in the Divine Blood Pool for seven days, feeling a sense of fullness in his body, Di Yi withdrew. He sat cross-legged on the Divine Blood Stone Platform, dividing his Holy Soul into eight parts.

When he attained sainthood, he condensed eight holy images, and his holy soul was also divided into eight parts, each capable of independently comprehending the holy path.

After consuming the Xuanhuang Pill, he used a sacred soul to refine the pill using his cultivation technique, thereby enhancing his cultivation level.

A sacred soul comprehended the wordless sword manual.

The remaining Holy Soul comprehended the Way of Truth, the Way of Origin, the Way of Darkness, the Way of the Palm, the Way of Flowing Light, the Way of the Claw, as well as enhancing spiritual power and refining the divine blood absorbed into the body.

Three months later, changes occurred around Di Yi's body. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered and transformed into wisps of thin Xuanhuang Qi.

He officially entered the Xuanhuang Realm.

As time passed, on the seventh day of Emperor Yi's seclusion, astonishing news came from the Blood God Sect, one of the seven ancient sects of the Central Region.

The Blood God Cult leader Chi Linyuan abdicated, and the divine son Gu Linfeng succeeded him as leader.

Half a month later, a great battle broke out in an ancient city in the Central Region.

The immortal vampires are hunting down Gu Linfeng, the new leader of the Blood God Cult.

It was also during this battle that Gu Linfeng's secret as Zhang Ruochen was completely exposed and made known to the world.

A month or so later, within the ancient Northern Religion, the Yama Cult, a crimson glow filled the sky, stretching for millions of miles.

On this day, Nangong Shi, the number one heretical cultivator in the Northern Region, broke through to the Great Sage realm.

After breaking through his cultivation realm, Nangong Shi launched a surprise attack on the Undying Blood Clan's camp in the Northern Region, wielding the Yama Bell. He killed the Azure Heaven Blood Emperor, severely injured the Yellow Heaven Blood Emperor, and forced the Lord of the Undying Temple to take action.

After exchanging three blows with him, Nangong Shi calmly retreated.

It should be noted that the spiritual power of the Lord of the Undying Temple is extremely high, far exceeding the sixtieth level. Anyone who can exchange three blows with him must have at least the combat power of a Great Saint at the Hundred Shackles Realm.

Ordinary saints might not understand, but this matter caused quite a stir among the great saints of the Kunlun Realm.

Once one enters the Great Sage realm, one possesses combat power comparable to the Hundred Shackles Realm. In the past thousand years, only Sword Emperor Xue Hongchen and Empress Chi Yao have been able to achieve this.

Even the Evil Emperor Xia Han was a step behind.

At the same time that Nangong Shi broke through to the Great Sage realm, a great battle also broke out in the territory of the Divine Dragon Half-Human Race in the Eastern Region.

The Savage Beast Clan, the Undying Blood Clan, and the Imperial Court clashed in a great battle within the Yin-Yang Sea, a forbidden area of ​​the Divine Dragon Half-Human Clan, in their quest to find the Divine Dragon Sun and Moon Chaos Tower, one of the legendary Ten Divine Artifacts of the Kunlun Realm.

In this battle, ancient creatures revived within the Yin-Yang Sea, and the fluctuations of the divine artifact caused the entire Eastern Region to tremble.

As time went by, war raged across the five regions.

Empress Chi Yao, the number one expert in the Kunlun Realm, has yet to make an appearance, leading many to speculate.

Empress Chi Yao's cultivation may have encountered a major problem. In light of the increasingly active rules of heaven and earth, a savage beast king asserted that Empress Chi Yao's attempt to break through to the divine realm failed, and she has already perished.

In an instant, various forces from the Five Regions surged up like a tide, setting off a frenzy to divide up the First Central Empire.

Thus, six months passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Dingshi Banner, six years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Sword lights swirled between heaven and earth, and seven figures unleashed seven distinct sword intents.

It represents water, fire, lake, land, wind, and thunder, corresponding to the seventh of the eight trigrams, but it is missing the Qian trigram, which represents heaven.

For the Sword Eight of the Wordless Sword Manual, Emperor Yi chose to use the Eight Trigrams as his starting point. After six years of arduous training, he has already cultivated Sword Eight to the seventh level. Only the last level remains to be comprehended, and he is only one step away from condensing the Sword Dao Profound Qi.

"The blood energy accumulation in the inner world of the acupoints has exceeded 50%, and the spiritual power has also entered the 54th level. It's a pity that the martial arts cultivation is stuck at the peak of the Transcendent Realm. Without the Heaven-Reaching Pill, it is indeed not easy to break through the Heaven-Reaching Realm on your own."

In the cultivation of the Saint Realm, the Heavenly Realm is a watershed.

Before reaching the Heavenly Realm, the focus is more on accumulating Holy Qi; from the Heavenly Realm onwards, the focus shifts more to cultivating the rules.

When the Tongtian Realm is reached, the rules take shape.

The true realm is the transformation of the illusory into the real.

The ultimate state is the truest and most perfect.

The so-called "rule solidification" refers to condensing the previously comprehended, discrete rules of the sacred path within the body into a physical form.

If it solidifies into the shape of a tower, it becomes the Tower of Babel; if it solidifies into a river, it becomes the River of Babel.

Di Yi had already reached the peak of the Thorough Realm a year ago, and during this time he had determined the prototype of the rules he wanted to condense.

It is a vortex of returning to the void that simulates the operation of the Mysterious Embryo. If successful, it may be called the Heavenly Void.

But it was always one step short, lacking some external force to condense the Heavenly Ruins.

He understood that this was due to his long period of secluded cultivation, which led to a rapid increase in his cultivation level without the corresponding tempering.

Working in isolation is not a long-term solution.

"Looking at the time, half a year has already passed. It's time for me to go out and travel."

After absorbing the Heavenly Demon Shadow, whose cultivation had also reached the peak of the Thorough Earth Realm, into his body, Di Yi summoned A Le, Han Qiu, and Di Yan, and together they walked out of the World-Stabilizing Banner.

They, too, need to go out into the world and solidify their own cultivation.
