Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 99 Beginning Cultivation

"Little Lord."

"Master."

The five stood in the courtyard, somewhat bewildered, wondering why Di Yi had summoned them to the back mountain.

Di Yi's gaze swept over the five people, and he stroked the flaming dragon coiled on his arm, slowly saying, "You all know that I brought you to Qingyun County to deal with Yin Yue Lin Kong. However, Yin Yue Lin Kong is very powerful. There are probably no more than five people in the entire Eastern Region below the level of a half-saint who can capture or kill her. With your cultivation, facing Yin Yue Lin Kong is no different from courting death."

The group fell silent upon hearing this. Even Ye Honglei, the most powerful among them, had only cultivated her spiritual power to the forty-first level. She was confident in dealing with experts at the third or fourth level of the Fish-Dragon Transformation, but she was indeed no match for Yin Yue Lin Kong.

"Young Master, it is my incompetence." Han Qiu said in a fearful tone. Her cultivation had progressed very quickly, reaching the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm in just a few months, but she was still far behind the others under Di Yi.

"Alright, I called you here not to reprimand you, but on the contrary, because I have a great opportunity to bestow upon you. With this opportunity, your cultivation will be able to improve rapidly."

Di Yi's words surprised everyone. Ye Honglei, puzzled, asked, "Young Master, what exactly is this opportunity?"

Di Yi smiled faintly, waved his hand to the side, and a pitch-black spatial gate appeared beside him.

"You come with me."

“This is a spatial fluctuation, could it be…” Ye Honglei had a guess in her heart and was the first to follow.

Upon hearing this, the others followed behind and entered one after another.

A moment later, the five people inside the Ding Shi Banner felt an unprecedented shock.

They actually had the opportunity to enter the legendary time-space treasure to cultivate.

Ye Honglei was the calmest of the five and also the one who knew the most about the time-space treasures.

Within the Evil Emperor City lies a renowned time-space treasure, the Tower of Babel, which is the core of the protective array of the entire universe and has been located within the Evil Emperor City since the Middle Ages.

Although Ye Honglei never entered the Tower of Babel to cultivate, some members of the Ye family had entered it and left behind many accounts of time-space treasures within the clan.

"Although the time flow of this time-space treasure of Junior Uncle is not as fast as that of the Tower of Babel, the cultivation environment is much better than that of the Tower of Babel described by the Ye family ancestors. Here, whether it is cultivating martial arts or spiritual power, it is several times faster than outside."

She pondered to herself, guessing that this time-space treasure might be the most precious item of their lineage. In her opinion, only the Illusionary Empress, who was one of the three empresses eight hundred years ago, could have left behind such a treasure.

"Master has never mentioned the spacetime treasure before. Could it be that only those who have cultivated to the Heart Realm can control this spacetime treasure?"

Ye Honglei kept filling in the blanks in her mind and actually came up with a logically consistent reason.

Zi Qian activated the Four Symbols Heaven-Reaching Technique, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. She felt the holy blood within her body becoming increasingly active, showing a tendency to undergo a second awakening and transform into a holy body.

Her eyes were filled with surprise, and she was completely stunned by this mysterious space. At the same time, she felt a surge of emotion.

Even the most ignorant person would know the value of such a time-space treasure. The fact that Di Yi was able to tell her such a great secret and let her enter the cultivation world clearly shows that he regards her as a confidante.

Di Yi pointed to a spot where a large number of spiritual herbs were growing, including several semi-sacred herbs.

"The flow of time in this world is completely different from that in the outside world. If you cultivate here for twelve days, only one day will have passed in the outside world. In addition, with the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the sacred substances contained in the world, and these countless cultivation resources, your cultivation speed will increase by dozens of times."

"You could say this place is a sacred land for cultivation. I brought you here in the hope that you can grow up as quickly as possible and become my helpers."

Hearing Di Yi's words, the group was filled with excitement.

"Young Master, rest assured, Han Qiu will certainly live up to your expectations, break through to the Fish-Dragon Realm as soon as possible, master the power of the Dark Body, and share your burdens."

Han Qiu's strength wasn't particularly formidable. Her foundation at the fourth level of martial arts was rather mediocre, and the Supreme Qiankun Technique she cultivated was merely a low-grade Ghost-level technique. While this was considered top-tier in a remote place like Tianmo Ridge, it was far inferior to the heirs of truly powerful forces. Even with her Dark Body, Han Qiu was currently only barely at the level of a Five-Star Genius.

However, once she breaks through to the Fish-Dragon Realm, she can switch to cultivating a more powerful technique to make up for the many shortcomings she had at the fourth level of martial arts. If she can cultivate the Dark Body to a minor level and truly master the power of the Dark Path, her strength will be even more terrifying than the Holy Body.

The Emperor had high hopes for her. Although Han Qiu was somewhat naive, she actually had her own set of principles of right and wrong and could be considered to have a clear sense of gratitude and resentment.

Once such a person is completely won over, there is virtually no possibility of betrayal, making them worthy of being nurtured with resources.

"The Dark Body has immense potential, Han Qiu. Once you break through to the Fish-Dragon Realm, I will teach you the cultivation method of the Heavenly Demon Black Hole Diagram."

Han Qiu was thrilled upon hearing this. The reason she chose to follow Di Yi was twofold: firstly, she did not want to die, and secondly, Di Yi possessed a method that could completely resolve the hidden dangers of her Dark Body, namely the Heavenly Demon Black Hole Diagram.

During this time, Emperor Yi treated her well, even spending his precious cultivation time to help her stabilize the dark power within her body. Han Qiu had long since let go of the so-called distinction between good and evil, and Emperor Yi was the master she had chosen.

As a follower, Han Qiu was also aware of his role as a follower and was always worried that he had lost his value to Di Yi.

After all, Emperor Yi is not short of women who possess both strength and beauty.

Needless to say, the Red Desire Star Envoy and the Green Robe Star Envoy were close friends. Zi Yuan was Emperor Yi's personal maid, and their relationship was unmatched by anyone else. However, Zi Qian, who also came from Tianmo Ridge, was also superior to her, making Han Qiu feel a strong sense of crisis.

Only by breaking through to the Fish-Dragon Realm and mastering the Dark Body can she demonstrate sufficient value and gain Emperor Yi's attention.

Several positions among the Seven Fiends of the Black Market's First-Class Hall are now vacant, and Han Qiu might very well be able to take one of them.

"Young Master, rest assured, with such a sacred cultivation ground, I will definitely reach the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm within ten days, and break into the Fish-Dragon Realm within a month."

Han Qiu, full of fighting spirit, found a place with abundant spiritual energy and began to cultivate. Seeing her like this, Zi Qian also felt a bit of pressure.

It is foreseeable that once Han Qiu reaches the Fish-Dragon Realm and switches to cultivating the Heavenly Demon Stone Carving, his strength will inevitably surge, since the Dark Body is a physique that is even more powerful than the Holy Body.

"Only by cultivating a sacred body can I catch up with the young master in the future." Ziqian made up her mind to completely transform into a sacred body within this world of the World-Stabilizing Banner.

Ah Le and Zi Yuan were relatively calm. They were Di Yi's gun and sword, and they only needed to do as Di Yi instructed, so they didn't have any other thoughts.

The group each found a suitable spot to begin their cultivation, leaving only Ye Honglei remaining by Di Yi's side.

With no one else around, she addressed Di Yi with much more affection.

"Junior Uncle, I never imagined you possessed such a treasure. Why didn't you tell me sooner? I was planning to have the Ye family's sage send me into the Tower of Babel to cultivate for a while."

The Emperor looked at her and laughed, "Time-space treasures are not so easy to control. I only recently refined it myself."

Ye Honglei became even more certain of her guess, convinced that the requirement to master this time-space treasure was to cultivate the Mind Realm.

"So, Junior Uncle thought of me immediately. He still has a conscience and hasn't let me down after all these years of playing the flute for you."

The emperor's expression was somewhat strange; there was something odd about what he was saying.

He immediately said seriously, "You should stay here and cultivate diligently for the time being. In two or three months at most, I plan to deal with Silver Moon in the Sky. I hope that before I make my move, your mental strength cultivation can be raised to the forty-fourth level."

What takes two or three months outside is equivalent to two or three years inside the Ding Shi Banner. Raising one's spiritual power from level 41 to level 44 in two or three years is extremely difficult.

However, Emperor Yi had confidence in Ye Honglei. In terms of spiritual talent alone, no one else in the entire black market's younger generation could compare to him. With the unique cultivation environment inside the World-Stabilizing Banner, raising his spiritual power to the forty-fourth level was challenging for Ye Honglei, but not impossible.

"Junior Uncle has really put a lot of pressure on me." Ye Honglei chuckled and, without wasting any more time, walked to the side and began her own cultivation.
