Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 233 Shenxiao Dojo, Not a Single One Left Behind

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, outside the Holy Land of Ink Sea, seven figures gathered, escorted by Grand Chancellor Wang Shiqi of the Imperial Court to the Realm of Truth.

Wang Shiqi was a Confucian and Taoist senior with the peak of the 59th level of spiritual power. He was one of the top figures below the Great Sage of Kunlun Realm. With his escort, they did not encounter any danger along the way.

Soon, the Realm of Truth came into view.

Wang Shiqi was not qualified to enter the Temple of Truth for cultivation, and of course, he could not set foot in the Heavenly Domain of Truth. He simply sent Di Yi and his party to the outside of the Heavenly Domain of Truth and then left on his own.

Stepping into the Realm of Truth, the group was astonished by the active Holy Dao rules and the rich Holy Qi of Heaven and Earth all around them.

The Heavenly Court is vast, divided into the Western Niuhe Continent, the Southern Zhanbu Continent, the Northern Julu Continent, and the Eastern Sheng Shen Continent. The Realm of Truth is one of the ten divine-level realms of the Western Niuhe Continent. Although its area is not as vast as that of the Shatuo Realm, its cultivation environment is far superior. It is a pilgrimage site that cultivators from all realms of the Heavenly Court dream of. Many gods cultivated here in their youth, leaving behind cultivation caves and ruins.

As an ancient temple, the Temple of Truth has extremely strict requirements for recruiting disciples, rejecting 99% of the most promising talents.

Of course, the vast majority of cultivators who enter the Temple of Truth are not disciples of the Temple of Truth, but cultivators from various realms of the Heavenly Court who have obtained cultivation quotas.

By allocating such precious cultivation opportunities to cultivators across the myriad realms, the Temple of Truth has risen to an increasingly lofty position in the Heavenly Court over the past 100,000 years, earning the sincere reverence and admiration of the gods.

At the entrance to the Realm of Truth, a group of disciples from the Temple of Truth were on duty to guide visitors.

The disciples of the Temple of Truth are divided into four ranks, from lowest to highest: third-rank disciples, second-rank disciples, first-rank disciples, and the highest-ranking divinely inspired disciples.

Numerous cultivators come and go in and out of the Realm of Truth, keeping the disciples of the Temple of Truth, who are responsible for guiding them, extremely busy.

Kunlun Realm was a weak realm ranked at the bottom of the Myriad Realms Merit Ranking, so Di Yi and the others did not expect these guiding disciples to be particularly friendly to them, and tried to keep a low profile as much as possible.

"There are so many cultivators coming to the Temple of Truth to cultivate. There are hundreds of people right now. Kunlun Realm fought a fierce battle on the Battlefield of Merit and paid a heavy price, but only got seven spots. The gap is really huge," Ling Feiyu said in a low voice.

“The allocation of cultivation slots in the Temple of Truth is based on the ranking of the Myriad Realms Merit List. I heard that the Guanghan Realm only has three slots every ten years, while the top ten great worlds can get hundreds of cultivation slots every year. The difference between them is unimaginable,” said Luo Xu, dressed in a white martial robe.

Xue Wuye, Lidi Monk, Wan Zhaoyi, and Li Qian were all looking at the cultivators around them, and the more they looked, the more shocked they became. The cultivators who appeared here all possessed at least a near-perfect physique. In the Kunlun Realm, they would be at the level of a hero, and each of them had the potential to become a Great Sage.

Emperor Yi had anticipated this, so he didn't react much, but he held high expectations for the Realm of Truth and the Temple of Truth.

Just then, a figure stepped out from among the disciples of the Temple of Truth and walked towards the group from Kunlun Realm.

"Are you all cultivators from the Kunlun Realm?"

The disciple from the Temple of Truth was very polite, not at all as arrogant and disdainful of cultivators from weaker realms as expected.

He looked to be in his early twenties, full of youthful vigor, and his cultivation level was only at the first step of Saint King, so he shouldn't be very old.

“That’s right, we are indeed cultivators from the Kunlun Realm, here at the Temple of Truth to cultivate, bearing the Seal of Truth.”

Emperor Yi took out the Truth Seal Tokens, a total of seven, which were sent to the Kunlun Realm when the Temple of Truth allocated the quotas.

After a quick verification, the disciple of the Temple of Truth confirmed the identities of Di Yi and the others. He smiled and said, "I am Nie Yuan, a first-class disciple of the Temple of Truth. I am responsible for guiding cultivators from all realms who come to the Temple of Truth for cultivation. You are new here, so please follow me."

In the Temple of Truth, the status of divine disciples is extremely high, comparable to that of divine messengers or realm children in weaker realms. First-class disciples are the highest-level disciples one can encounter when handling miscellaneous matters.

As a first-class disciple of the Temple of Truth, Nie Yuan was able to stand on equal footing with the Great Saints of the weaker realms even outside the Realm of Truth.

But Di Yi didn't sense any arrogance from him; he seemed very kind, which was quite unusual.

He wasn't a suspicious person, and since he didn't sense any malice from Nie Yuan, he didn't think much of it and went through some procedures with him, successfully stepping into the Realm of Truth.

Nie Yuan was very helpful, not only helping them complete the registration, but also sending them to the Void Sacred Domain in the western part of the Realm of Truth.

In the Realm of Truth, every inch of land is precious. Saint Realm cultivators are not allowed to build residences on their own. Only gods can establish dojos as temporary residences for Saint Realm cultivators in their respective great worlds.

The deities of the Western universe all established their sacred temples within the Void Sacred Realm.

"The cultivation chambers in the Temple of Truth are currently full. If you want to enter them for cultivation, you will probably have to wait for a while." Nie Yuan explained the rules of the Heavenly Realm of Truth to Di Yi and his group along the way, and informed them of some things they needed to pay attention to.

“Kunlun Realm has many dojos in the Void Sacred Domain, but they have long been occupied by other great worlds. If you have nowhere to go for the time being, I can help you find a dojo in another great world that is open to the public to stay temporarily. You only need to pay some sacred stones.”

Ten thousand years ago, the Kunlun Realm was filled with gods. Many gods came to the Temple of Truth to comprehend the Way of Truth and left behind their own dojos. In the Void Sacred Domain, there were more than a hundred dojos that originally belonged to the Kunlun Realm.

However, for the past 100,000 years, these dojos have been occupied by other great worlds.

In fact, it wasn't just the Daoist temples of the Kunlun Realm that were occupied. Many gods from weaker realms also established Daoist temples in the Realm of Truth. However, the younger generation of cultivators in their respective worlds simply did not have the strength to protect them. They could only watch as the Daoist temples of their respective great worlds were taken away by cultivators from stronger realms. If they wanted to enter and cultivate there, they would have to pay a large sum of holy stones.

In Nie Yuan's view, Di Yi and the others could only choose a dojo, pay the sacred stones, and settle down temporarily.

By having him contact a suitable dojo with a reasonable price and a good environment, he was essentially doing Di Yi a favor.

Di Yi paused for a moment, then asked, "Which Kunlun Realm training ground is the closest to this place?"

Nie Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this, realizing what Di Yi wanted to do. Seeing his serious expression, he could only reply, "The closest Kunlun Realm dojo to here is the Shenxiao Dojo left behind by the Mingxin Sword God of the Liangyi Sect 100,000 years ago. However, I must advise you that the one currently occupying the Shenxiao Dojo is the Sword God Realm, one of the top 100 strongest realms in the Western Universe. It is not so easy to deal with."

Mingxin Sword God was a legendary figure from the Liangyi Sect 100,000 years ago. He was a god of swordsmanship, famous throughout the Heavenly Court, and known as the number one swordsman of the Great Gods.

After the Three Pure Ones of the Liangyi Sect, the Mingxin Sword God is the most powerful deity in the Liangyi Sect, a being who can stand on equal footing with ancient gods like the Moon God.

“As cultivators of the Kunlun Realm, we should go to the Kunlun Realm’s training grounds to cultivate. We appreciate Brother Nie’s kindness. Please tell us the location of the Shenxiao Training Grounds. We won’t accompany you any further, so as not to cause you any unnecessary trouble,” Di Yi said with a faint smile.

Nie Yuan looked at Di Yi with a strange expression, then glanced at the other people from Kunlun Realm. He was quite surprised to see that none of them showed any objection.

It's unclear whether the people of Kunlun Realm don't understand the significance of the Sword God Realm, or whether they are overly confident in their own strength.

He only wanted to establish a good relationship with Emperor Yi, but if he offended the Sword God Realm because of it, it would be a loss. The top 100 worlds in the Western Universe can be considered truly powerful worlds.

"Well, never mind. If you encounter any trouble, you can contact me, and I will do my best to help," Nie Yuan said.

Di Yi bowed slightly to him and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Nie. Once we have reclaimed the Divine Firmament Dojo and things have settled down, I will invite you to come and visit me again."

After bidding farewell to Nie Yuan, Di Yi and his group headed straight for the Shenxiao Dojo.

As Nie Yuan watched the departing group, a sense of curiosity suddenly arose in his heart.

"Those who can attract the attention of Senior Brother Nie Xiangzi are indeed extraordinary. Perhaps they can really take back the Divine Firmament Dojo from the cultivators of the Sword God Realm."

……

The Void Sacred Domain is vast, dotted with tens of thousands of divine dojos, scattered like stars in the sky, a truly magnificent sight.

The Divine Firmament Dojo, established by the Sword God of the Mind, is located on a branch of the Divine Vein of the Realm of Truth. It is a basin shrouded in holy mist all year round, containing dozens of dojos of varying sizes. The Divine Firmament Dojo is one of the top dojos among them.

When Di Yi was still a hundred miles away from the Divine Firmament Dojo, he sensed the immense sword intent between heaven and earth. It belonged to a sword god with extremely high cultivation, the sword path of the Mingxin Sword God.

"This is truly a treasure land for cultivation. The concentration of sacred energy here is more than five times that of the Cloud Lake Sacred Land, and the rules of the Sacred Path are also much more active, especially the rules of the Sword Path. If I can continue to cultivate here, my cultivation speed can at least double," Ling Feiyu exclaimed.

Li Qian is depicted as a young man, not a contemporary cultivator, but an ancient remnant species like the Devouring Demon Dragon. He was born earlier and has cultivated for a longer period of time, already reaching the peak of the Second Step Saint King realm.

"The strength of the Sword God Mingxin was top-tier even in the Kunlun Realm 100,000 years ago. His dojo is far more valuable than that of ordinary gods. There must be many powerful figures from the Sword God Realm within his dojo. How should we attack him?"

"Of course, we'll just charge in." Ling Feiyu summoned the Burial Sky Sword, his purple robes crackling with electricity.

"Wasn't that too impulsive, Dean Luo Xu? What do you think?" Li Qian looked at Luo Xu.

Luo Xu smiled faintly and took out a scroll, which was one of the two great treasures of the painting school, "Ten Thousand Lights".

“I agree with Palace Master Ling’s approach. We are newcomers, and the cultivators of the Sword God Realm are certainly not on guard. Now is the best opportunity.”

Li Qian was somewhat surprised. He had always thought Luo Xu was calm and composed, but he hadn't expected him to be like Ling Feiyu, wanting to take action directly.

He then looked at Di Yi, realizing that Di Yi was the true decision-maker for this trip.

“Sword Saint Feiyu and Abbot Luoxu are right. Since we’ve decided to take action, let’s just charge in.” Di Yi made the decision.

Outside the Shenxiao Dojo, there is an array set up by cultivators from the Sword God Realm, which is of the eighth grade and was created by a Saint Master of Array Formations.

Given the resources of the Sword God Realm, there are more than one spiritual geomancer capable of setting up a ninth-grade formation. However, those who enter the Temple of Truth are all young cultivators, and the vast majority of them are saints.

The lower one's cultivation level, the greater one's potential for growth, and the greater the benefits one will gain from comprehending the rules of truth. The cultivation slots in the Temple of Truth obtained by various worlds are generally allocated to cultivators at the Saint Realm.

Most of the cultivators at the Saint King Realm were not coming to the Realm of Truth for the first time to cultivate.

Those like the few from Kunlun Realm who only came to the Temple of Truth for the first time to cultivate after reaching the Saint King Realm are actually quite rare.

Therefore, the defensive formation outside the Divine Firmament Dojo was only set up by the younger generation of cultivators in the Sword God Realm. It could defend against ordinary Saint Kings, but it would be very difficult to defend against Emperor Yi.

Emperor Yi took out the World Seal and activated it with holy energy. The World Seal then displayed the threefold radiance of origin, darkness, and truth.

The nine World Seals forged by Empress Chi Yao are made of special materials. The main material is the divine forged material, one of the ten great substances in the universe, which is fused together with many other treasures, making them highly malleable.

The World Seal in the hands of the monk Lidi can grow alongside the cultivator. When he becomes a Great Sage or even a God, it can be transformed into a Buddha seal. The World Seal in the hands of Xue Wuye may be transformed into a sword seal in the future, nurturing a world of swords within it.

During this period, Di Yi used his three ancient paths to refine the World Child Seal, intending to turn it into a battle weapon that would accompany him for a long time.

The essence of an array is to use array inscriptions to draw upon the power of heaven and earth. The primordial way can stabilize the power of heaven and earth, while the dark way can destroy the array inscriptions.

As soon as the Realm Seal was unleashed, the defensive array outside the Divine Firmament Dojo briefly ceased functioning, tearing open a safe passage leading directly into the dojo's interior. The shockwaves from breaking the array naturally alerted the Sword God Realm cultivators within the dojo.

A dark-skinned man carrying a long sword walked out of the dojo, his eyes shining like stars and containing a powerful sword intent.

Shen Fang shouted angrily, "Who are you? How dare you cause trouble at the Divine Firmament Dojo? Don't you know this is the territory of the Sword God Realm?"

"When did the Kunlun Realm's training grounds become the territory of the Sword God Realm?"

Ling Feiyu stepped forward, his eyes meeting Shen Fang's. Without a sound, he had already unleashed Sword Nine, activating his sword soul.

"Humph……"

Shen Fang groaned, an unbearable stinging pain shooting through his Holy Soul, and he retreated repeatedly.

"Witch, what tricks did you use?"

He couldn't believe that the woman in front of him, whose cultivation level was similar to his, had achieved the ninth level of sword cultivation and condensed a sword soul. He assumed that she had used some kind of method targeting the holy soul.

The Burial Sky Sword flew out of Ling Feiyu's hand and struck Shen Fang, sending him flying back to the dojo.

Ling Feiyu continued to stride forward, seemingly intent on taking down the entire dojo single-handedly.

"The Sword God Realm is known as the strongest realm in the universe for swordsmanship. How come the cultivators in the Sword God Realm can't even recognize sword souls?"

"Who do you think you are? It turns out you're a cultivator from the Kunlun Realm."

A slightly muffled voice came from inside the dojo.

Immediately afterwards, a young man in a blue robe walked out of the dojo.

This person's name is Ye Wuming. His cultivation has reached the fourth step of Saint King. He is currently ranked among the top ten young powerhouses in the Truth Heaven Domain of the Sword God Realm. He is the offspring of a Great Saint in the Sword God Realm and possesses a perfect physique.

Ye Wuming used his finger as a sword to knock the Burial Sky Sword away, unleashing the profound sword energy.

"To be able to cultivate Sword Nine at the low-level Saint King level, your swordsmanship is indeed frighteningly high, unmatched even in the Sword God Realm. However, your cultivation level is too low. Daring to cause trouble at the Divine Firmament Dojo is courting death."

Ling Feiyu retrieved the Burial Heaven Sword, completely fearless, and intended to use Sword Nine to sever Ye Wuming's holy soul.

"Sword Saint Flying Feather, let me do it."

Di Yi walked past Ling Feiyu, raised his eyes to look at Ye Wuming, and glanced at the group of cultivators from the Sword God Realm who followed closely behind him. He calmly said, "The Divine Firmament Dojo was left behind by the Mingxin Sword God of the Kunlun Realm. For the past 100,000 years, the Kunlun Realm was not in the Heavenly Court, so we let bygones be bygones. Now that the Kunlun Realm has returned to the Heavenly Court and its cultivators have once again set foot in the Realm of Truth, the Divine Firmament Dojo should be returned to the Kunlun Realm."

"If the cultivators of the Sword God Realm leave the dojo immediately, I can spare your lives."

Ye Wuming snorted coldly: "The Kunlun Realm's dojo? That's a thing of the past. Now the Shenxiao Dojo belongs to the Sword God Realm and has nothing to do with your Kunlun Realm. If you don't want to have your arms and legs broken and be thrown out like a dead dog, then leave now."

"Nameless Emperor, we can't let them get away with this." Shen Fang was helped out of the dojo, looking quite disheveled. His gaze towards Ling Feiyu was filled with resentment. A dignified Sword Saint had been severely injured by a woman's sword; it was truly shameful.

"So, the cultivators from the Sword God Realm aren't leaving?" Di Yi asked calmly.

"What else can we do if we don't leave?" Although Ye Wuming was somewhat wary of Ling Feiyu, Jian Jiu was not omnipotent. With his cultivation as a fourth-step Saint King, he was fully capable of dealing with the situation if he took precautions in advance.

"Then I'll have no choice but to take action."

Before Di Yi could finish speaking, Ye Wuming's expression changed drastically. He summoned a five-star, ten-thousand-patterned holy artifact-level battle sword and thrust it towards Di Yi.

The moment the sword was thrust out, his holy soul was gripped by intense pain, and the scene before him blurred.

"He also cultivated a sword spirit?"

Ye Wuming immediately crushed a jade talisman, and a powerful holy power surged from within it, instantly bringing him back to his senses.

The tip of the Heaven-Sealing Sword was already close at hand.

"Six Harmonies True Qi Sword Technique, break!"

Ye Wuming's swordsmanship was quite remarkable. He had mastered the Eight Swords Techniques to perfection and had extensive combat experience. He immediately unleashed a sophisticated sword technique at the mid-level of a Saintly level.

Thirty-six sword-wielding arcane energy burst forth from his body, attacking Di Yi.

Di Yi unleashed the Boundary Seal to block the incoming sword energy. His Heaven-Sealing Sword continued its attack, stabbing at Ye Wuming's chest, but failed to pierce through. Instead, a powerful recoil force traveled through the sword.

"The protective armor left behind by the Great Sage?" Di Yi exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Wuming was stabbed by a sword. Even with the protection of his armor, he still suffered a considerable impact. His chest burned with pain, and his internal organs felt as if they had shifted.

"What a terrifying sword strike! Kunlun Realm actually has such a young master."

"Quickly activate the formation to suppress them."

Ye Wuming felt a sense of retreat. There were only two or three cultivators in the entire Sword God Realm who had reached the ninth level of the Saint King Realm. Today, he had encountered two of them at once, and both of them were only low-level Saint Kings. This group from Kunlun Realm was too strange.

Di Yi would not give him another chance. He used the Flowing Light Flying Rainbow Escape Technique to quickly close the distance. At the same time, Ling Feiyu, Luo Xu, and Li Qian also made their move.

The Sword God Realm members within the Divine Firmament Dojo immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they all drew their swords to engage in battle.

Ye Wuming activated his armor and sword, hastily unleashing the full power of the Three Luminaries.

"Boom!"

Di Yi used the World Seal to block the attack, while he himself rushed to Ye Wuming's side and struck him with his palm.

Ye Wuming was slammed into the ground by a palm strike, leaving a large crater.

Di Yi lifted the severely injured Ye Wuming with one hand, his holy might surging as he walked towards the Shenxiao Dojo: "Di Yi, a junior cultivator from the Kunlun Realm, has come to reclaim the Shenxiao Dojo. Mingxin Sword God, if your divine sense senses anything, release your divine power and make this place a world where all beings are equal."

Even if a deity dies, their divine spirit will remain in the world.

The principle of equality for all beings is one of the few methods that the remaining divine thoughts can employ within the Realm of Truth, enabling them to suppress the cultivation levels of cultivators within the dojo to the same level.

Every god who establishes a sacred place in the Realm of Truth will leave behind such a contingency plan.

With Di Yi's strength, no Sword God Realm cultivator within the Divine Firmament Dojo would be his match.

The purpose of establishing equality for all beings is to give Xue Wuye, Lidi, and Wan Zhaoyi a chance to act.

Fighting against a prodigy from a powerful realm is also a form of cultivation for them.

As Di Yi's voice rang out, divine light rose from the ground beneath the Shenxiao Dojo.

"Wow!"

A divine power spread throughout the dojo, and the surrounding rules of heaven and earth also changed somewhat.

Di Yi's cultivation level continued to weaken, eventually falling to the True Saint level.

The cultivation levels of the others in the dojo were also suppressed to the True Saint level.

In this battle within the same realm, the Kunlun Realm members, undaunted by any opponent, launched their attacks one after another, fighting against overwhelming odds with fewer troops, and holding their own against all odds.

Emperor Yi glanced at Ye Wuming, who was struggling in his hand, and unleashed a sword aura that pierced through Ye Wuming's brow and sea of ​​qi, annihilating his sacred soul.

Killing is forbidden within the Realm of Truth, but within the dojos of their respective great worlds, intruders from other great worlds are permitted to be killed.

It is not considered a violation of the rules of the Temple of Truth for cultivators in the Kunlun Realm to kill someone within the Shenxiao Dojo.

Ye Wuming's sacred corpse essence became nourishment for the Guixu Twin Lotus, and the Great Saint Armor and the Five Elements Myriad Pattern Saint Artifact-level battle sword on his body were put away by Di Yi.

The Hidden Sword Technique still needs some suitable swords as its vessel. With his current cultivation level, a thousand-patterned sacred weapon is not enough; he needs a ten-thousand-patterned sacred weapon.

Instead of joining the battle inside the dojo, Di Yi turned and walked out of the dojo, leaving the realm of equality for all beings. He stood guard at the entrance of the dojo with his sword, cutting off the last escape route for the cultivators of the Sword God Realm.

Either don't kill them, or exterminate them all.

Di Yi was not worried about the battle within the dojo. Luo Xu and Ling Feiyu were both invincible in their respective realms. Their physical physiques might be somewhat inferior to the top geniuses of the Heavenly Court, but in terms of their comprehension of the Holy Path, few in the Heavenly Court could compare to them.

Even if their cultivation level is suppressed to the True Saint level, it would only be a massacre for the cultivators of the Sword God Realm to fight against them.

Occasionally, one or two figures would escape from the dojo, only to be forced back inside by Emperor Yi with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.

He was a man of rules; he believed that killings had to be done within the temple grounds.

Thus, after a little over half an hour, the dust settled at the Shenxiao Dojo.

Six figures walked out of the dojo and looked at Di Yi, who was guarding the door, with smiles on their faces.

"How is the battle going?" Di Yi asked.

Ling Feiyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and replied, "Not a single one was left."
