Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 245 Entering the Wind Dome (Writer's block, one more chapter will be available tomorrow during the day)

As you hear the news, you can die in the evening.

This is the best description of the path of spiritual practice.

At this moment, this feeling arose in Di Yi's heart.

In a moment of sudden enlightenment, the world seemed to transform into countless primordial particles in his eyes.

"This is the fundamental way."

A smile played on his lips; he had not yet fully shaken off the joy of enlightenment.

"Congratulations on your enlightenment and great progress in your cultivation."

Ji Fanxin's voice rang in his ears, instantly bringing Emperor Di back to his senses.

"It's not a major improvement, just a small breakthrough. I have to thank the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers for her guidance."

Di Yi spoke with great humility and composure, but his own cultivation level had indeed made a qualitative breakthrough.

The number of Sacred Rules of the Origin Way broke through 50,000 in one fell swoop, and the total number of Sacred Rules in the Tongtian Ruins also reached 550,000, thus stepping into the sixth step of the Sacred King level.

The increase was even greater in mental strength, which jumped directly from the mid-stage of the 57th rank to the mid-stage of the 58th rank.

The breakthroughs in martial arts and mental strength brought about a qualitative change in Di Yi's power, giving him the strength to contend with younger generation leaders such as Shang Zixuan and Xun Ya.

"Miss, Dragon Submerged Divine Child, it's getting late. The Zhu Yan Divine Child has sent word that we must set off for Wind Dome Peak." Princess Demon Butterfly's voice came from outside the Golden Dragon Carriage.

Only then did Di Yi realize that his sudden enlightenment seemed to have lasted for quite some time.

……

At noon, Princess Butterfly rode her golden dragon chariot toward the Wind Dome in the Inner South Garden.

Including Di Yi, only six figures followed the Holy Chariot; the others were all female Holy Kings from the Thousand Bud Realm in the Realm of Truth.

The Wind Dome is fraught with danger, and only those who have reached the Saint King realm dare to venture into it. For a Saint to enter rashly is certain death.

Ji Fanxin stayed inside the Golden Dragon Carriage, while Di Yi sat outside, accompanying Princess Mo Die as she drove.

He didn't want to stay in the car. Although Givenchy didn't show anything wrong, being in the same car with him always made him feel uncomfortable.

"The eight space cultivators invited from the Southern Universe are all backed by the Demon God Realm and the Ten Races and Ten Demon Realms. It seems that the Thousand Bud Realm can only follow behind and won't get anything good." Di Yi looked around and laughed.

In the Southern Universe, the Demon God Realm is the strongest, followed by the Ten Races and Ten Demon Realms, led by the Heavenly Dragon Realm. Each realm is filled with numerous gods and possesses formidable strength.

The Thousand Buds Realm has risen to the ranks of the top 100 powerful worlds in the Southern Universe thanks to the existence of the Mandala Flower Goddess, but it still lags far behind the truly powerful worlds.

Princess Demon Butterfly sighed helplessly upon hearing this: "Space cultivators are already rare. The vast majority of them cultivate in the Space Temple. There are a few space cultivators in the Thousand Buds Realm, but they are all seniors who have cultivated for thousands of years and cannot enter the Realm of Truth to cultivate."

"Once we enter the Wind Dome, we'll act according to the situation. I refuse to believe that we can't move an inch without a space cultivator. Dragon Hidden Divine Son, you are now the young lady's top expert. As a member of the Thousand Buds Realm, don't let the cultivators of the Demon God Realm and the Heavenly Dragon Realm laugh at the Thousand Buds Realm." Princess Demon Butterfly seemed naive, but she was actually exceptionally intelligent and had already seen through his false identity from what had happened earlier.

Emperor Yi shook his head and smiled, realizing that he had given someone leverage over him.

"It's not impossible to make these space cultivators work for us."

Princess Demon Butterfly looked at him upon hearing this and said, "You have a way to win them over? The Demon God Realm and the Ten Clans and Ten Demon Realms must have promised them a high price. What do you have to offer to win them over?"

"We don't necessarily need to win them over," Di Yi said calmly, then closed his eyes to calm his mind.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the Divine Lotus shone brightly, radiating its original azure light. As his spiritual power cultivation improved, his mastery of the mental realm finally showed a trend of further advancement.

The Mind Realm has five layers: Soul-Capturing Seal, Puppet Master, Mind-Controlling Mantra, One-Mind Connection, and Myriad Aspects of Life.

Previously, Di Yi was at the first level of the Soul-Capturing Seal. After his spiritual power broke through to the fifty-eighth level, the second level of the Puppet Master gradually became clear.

The Soul-Capturing Seal is used to capture souls, while the Puppet Master is a step further, capable of manipulating others like a puppet on strings. It can also project one's own consciousness onto another person using the Soul-Capturing Seal, thus substituting one person for another.

The golden dragon chariot, along with the demon cultivators from the Southern Universe, headed towards the Wind Dome. Emperor Yi closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, entering a special state of cultivation, completely undisturbed by the outside world.

Soon, we arrived at the Wind Dome.

The so-called Wind Dome is actually just a barren hill, only a hundred feet high.

Standing under the dome of the wind and looking up, you can see a dilapidated ancient temple sitting there, desolate and full of loneliness.

The steps leading from the foot of the mountain to the ancient temple are buried in soil, but upon closer inspection, traces of countless ages can be seen.

Those qualified to come here are all powerful cultivators ranked in the top 1,000 on the Myriad Realms Merit Ranking, and their cultivation levels are basically above the fourth-step Saint King.

The number of people in the Thousand Buds Realm is not small, but it can only be described as average.

Zhu Yan, the divine son, with his crimson fur and wielding a black iron staff of king-level weapon quality, was the first to head towards the mountaintop.

It's not that the earlier a cultivator enters the Wind Dome, the better their chances of seizing treasures. On the contrary, those who rush in first face the greatest dangers: spatial traps, ancient monsters, and more...

This was undoubtedly to clear the way for the cultivators who would enter later.

Zhu Yan Shenzi naturally understood this, but he was confident enough in his own cultivation and was also the leader of the Southern Universe Alliance on this trip, so he had the responsibility of an alliance leader.

He activated the black iron rod, unleashing a terrifying power. As he wielded it, it possessed a vast and mighty battle might that could shake the heavens and earth.

Such a tremendous commotion also startled Emperor Yi awake.

"What a powerful breath."

“Zhu Yan Divine Child’s cultivation has long since reached the Ninth Step Saint King level. Even in the Demon God Realm, apart from a few exceptions, he is among the strongest below the Great Saint, and naturally far beyond our reach,” said Princess Demon Butterfly.

"However, I think that once you reach the Ninth Step Saint King level, you will definitely be stronger than him."

With the Zhu Yan divine son leading the way, the group from the Southern Universe climbed unimpeded to the palace atop the mountain. Though the distance appeared to be only a hundred feet, a divine might pressed down upon everyone.

Upon entering the palace, the view immediately broadened, with misty clouds and a vast, sacred aura surrounding the area.

But the ground was covered with the remains of ancient ferocious creatures and holy blood, indicating that a great battle had clearly taken place here not long ago.

"Someone actually managed to sneak into this place before us?" Fairy Fire Phoenix frowned.

"They are cultivators from the Heavenly Realm. They arrived at Wind Dome half an hour ago, which saved us a lot of trouble." Zhu Yan Divine Child had already received the news and was not surprised.

The palace complex is vast, containing many separate ancient halls. Even if the Heavenly Realm factions looted it first, there must still be many valuable items within these halls.

"Shouldn't we give it a shot?" Di Yi asked.

Princess Demon Butterfly said irritably, "Didn't you see that the Demon God Realm and the Ten Clans and Ten Demon Realms have already divided up all the ancient palaces? How can we compete for them?"

"That's true." The Emperor nodded, then closed his eyes to meditate and ponder the realm of the mind.

Princess Demon Butterfly had intended to provoke him into making a move, but seeing that he remained unmoved, she could only snort coldly and ride her golden dragon chariot deeper into the palace.

The opportunities within the ancient temple are utterly insignificant compared to the treasures within the Mountain of Gods.

With the combined efforts of eight spatial cultivators, including the Void Qilin, the spatial barriers along the way were successfully opened.

Soon, they arrived at the last layer of thick, chaotic space walls.

Through the thick walls, one can vaguely see a vast, ancient, sacred mountain, like a primordial wilderness—that is the Mountain of the Gods.

This final spatial barrier is extremely thick and cannot be broken by ordinary spatial cultivators.

The faction from the Heavenly Realm was able to enter first because they had Prince Yan, the master of space, accompanying them.

Fortunately, although there was no space controller among the cultivators, the Void Qilin, who had the highest spatial mastery, was not much worse than a space controller. At least compared to Gongzi Yan, he was only one level behind.

Of course, Xu Qilin's cultivation level is already at the ninth step Saint King level, while Gongzi Yan is only at the seventh step Saint King level. Under the same cultivation level, Gongzi Yan's attainments in the Dao of Space are definitely far superior.

With the help of the other seven space cultivators, the Void Qilin successfully inscribed a spatial division rune, opening a passage in the spatial barrier, after expending a great deal of energy.

Zhu Yan, the divine son, was the first to rush in, followed by the powerful figures from the Demon God Realm and the Ten Clans and Ten Demon Realms.

Several cultivators from the Thousand Buds Realm followed behind, passing through the spatial barrier.

Beyond the spatial barrier, it wasn't as sacred as I had imagined; instead, it was filled with an eerie atmosphere that sent chills down my spine.

In the distance, the majestic sacred mountain stands in the hazy mist, like a giant beast crouching. On its summit is a dilapidated temple, exuding an ancient and weathered aura.

A breeze blew from the mountains, bringing with it a pale blue mist, which surprisingly carried a faint scent of divine spring water.

With just one breath, all the cultivators present felt the Holy Dao Rules within their bodies growing, and they were overjoyed.

"The folded space behind the Wind Dome actually hides the Temple of Gods! This is wonderful!" The Fire Phoenix Fairy's phoenix eyes shone brightly with excitement.

Zhu Yan, the divine son, said, "The Temple of Conferred Gods is a place that even the gods of the Temple of Truth dare not approach. We'd better stay far away. Judging from the direction these blue mists are coming from, the location of the Divine Spring should be on the outskirts of the Mountain of Gods, quite a distance from the Temple of Conferred Gods. There is a chance to collect it."

Emperor Yi stepped down from the golden dragon carriage, carefully surveying his surroundings, feeling a vague unease.

Upon activating his True Source Demon Eye, the scene before him startled him.

Behind the surrounding yin energy, countless ancient evil spirits were approaching.

"Everyone, be careful."

Before the words were finished, one after another broken ancient corpses rushed out from the folded space, their aura terrifying. Among them, several carried the power of a Great Sage, and they must have been Great Sages in life.

Emperor Yi turned to look at the golden dragon carriage, but Ji Fanxin was still sitting inside, not showing herself.

After pondering for a moment, Di Yi used his mental power to transmit a message to Princess Mo Die: "Three hundred steps to the west, there are ancient god inscriptions related to space, which can be used to teleport away from this place."

After giving the warning, he flew to a spot several hundred paces away. As soon as he stepped into it, ripples spread through the space around him.

It disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"He just ran away like that?" Princess Butterfly was furious.

“If he wants to leave, let him leave. He only wanted to use this to enter the Wind Dome.” Ji Fanxin lifted the curtain and stepped out of the car.

He calmly watched as the malevolent spirits and ancient corpses continued to surge in from all around.

"Let's go, let's leave this place and use the spatial runes left by the ancient gods."

……

The teleportation time was extremely short; in the blink of an eye, Di Yi appeared on a blood-red plain.

"Is this the interior of the Mountain of Gods? The rules of heaven and earth are so unique, as if they have been frozen in time, and are very different from the rules of the outside world."

He concealed his presence and carefully surveyed his surroundings.

Soon, an unexpected discovery was made: a familiar figure could be seen in the distance.

"Yuwen Jing? He's here too, what a coincidence."

What is he doing here?

Di Yi's interest was piqued, and he quietly approached.
