244 – Daughter of the Emperor! Wang Ping’s Enlightenment!
by spirapira【In the next moment, you are pulled into a strange space. There are mountains, rivers, abundant spiritual energy, and vibrant life, resembling a hidden secret realm.】
【This surprises you. However, what surprises you more is the woman before you, for she is stunningly beautiful with an air of gentle grace that feels very familiar to you.】
【Soon enough, you recognize her because her appearance matches the portrait you’ve seen before. She is unmistakably the daughter of Emperor Tianyu, the very daughter Emperor Tianyu went missing searching for.】
【In countless simulations, Emperor Tianyu broke into the Ghost Demon Sea searching for his daughter, ultimately vanishing without a trace. Now, seeing Emperor Tianyu’s daughter and being rescued by her leaves your heart in turmoil.】
【While you observe Emperor Tianyu’s daughter, she also examines you, praising you and stating you must be a successor of the Taiyi Emperor Palace. She commends your remarkable talent, which she admits surpasses hers by far…】
【You aren’t surprised that Emperor Tianyu’s daughter can identify you. After all, you’ve cultivated the Taiyi Emperor Palace’s Emperor’s scripture. Though it’s not your main practice, you’ve studied it to gain knowledge, enrich your foundations, and expand your abilities. You also possess lingering auras from the Taiyi Emperor Palace’s Emperor’s Weapon, making it natural for her to recognize you.】
【You smile wryly and note that no matter how high one’s talent is, it’s meaningless without growth.】
【These words deeply resonate with Emperor Tianyu’s daughter. There are countless prodigies, and while your talent is the most astonishing she has seen, unrivaled throughout history, without becoming an emperor or immortal, it’s ultimately in vain.】
【Of course, even as an emperor, there are many moments of powerlessness, which are disheartening. Perhaps, in the Upper Realm, only becoming immortal can truly ensure eternal freedom and oversight of all beings, but no one has succeeded in becoming immortal.】
【While Emperor Tianyu’s daughter sighs, you clasp your hands and reveal her identity, curious as to why she ventured into the Ghost Demon Sea and then disappeared without a trace.】
“This is indeed an unexpected development, meeting Emperor Tianyu’s daughter, Yu Daoyi, in the Ghost Demon Sea. How she entered and survived the sea remains a mystery.”
Wang Ping looked at the simulated text, quite surprised.
After all, the Ghost Demon Sea, one of the Ten Forbidden Lands, is a terrifying place where even Emperor Tianyu vanished.
Logically, the cultivation of Emperor Tianyu’s daughter Yu Daoyi, at most a quasi-emperor, should make surviving there impossible.
Yet, she survived and even rescued him from the belly of a terrifying sea creature.
These means are not simple at all.
“The reason will be clear with further questioning. Let’s continue reading.”
Wang Ping then calmed his emotions and continued to stare at the screen.
【To your question, Emperor Tianyu’s daughter Yu Daoyi does not directly answer. Instead, she looks at you curiously, asking why you fell into the Ghost Demon Sea. Logically, with your current cultivation and carrying two weak Saint Realms, you should have perished soon after entering.】
【Hearing Yu Daoyi’s words, Cai Yonglong feels quite embarrassed and helpless. Although he has become a Saint, he is indeed still quite weak, which makes him feel helpless. As for the innate Saint, just a few minutes old, with budding intelligence, while much more lively than ordinary infants, he doesn’t understand much and keeps laughing.】
【You shake your head, stating Cai Yonglong is not a burden. Without him, you wouldn’t have made it this far. As for why you fell into the Ghost Demon Sea, you explain everything from the beginning, including the matter of the teleportation.】
【These words make Yu Daoyi look at Cai Yonglong thoughtfully, guessing a few things. Both you and Cai Yonglong have an aura from outside the domain, possibly indicating some special abilities.】
【However, Yu Daoyi does not probe further, gently tapping your forehead and expressing with some helplessness that it’s just an innate Saint. There’s no need to take such a risk for him; your life is far more important.】
【To Yu Daoyi’s caution, you chuckle and don’t mind it. Naturally, you didn’t elaborate. After all, the seven-colored talent: Growing Stronger by Accepting Disciples cannot be revealed. Besides, you really didn’t expect the golden talent: Teleportation to send you to such a place. It’s just bad luck.】
【Now, meeting Emperor Tianyu’s daughter, you feel this might not be a bad thing. If you can learn her current situation and the reason she came to the Ghost Demon Sea, perhaps you can help Emperor Tianyu rescue her. That way, Emperor Tianyu won’t be harmed.】
【As for the rescue of Emperor Tianyu and Yu Daoyi having little impact on the future, you don’t mind it. It’s a form of repaying grace.】
【Moreover, if you can find a way to stop the anomalies, annihilate them, thwart the Nine Star Pavilion’s conspiracy, and delay their plans to refine the Upper Realm, then Emperor Tianyu’s deterrence would be considerable, providing substantial backing within the Immortal Palace.】
【At the very least, it would make you not weaker than the prodigies, except the Gu family. For the Gu family, as long as Gu Xuan is dead, their threat to you is minimal. If you can save Gu Xuan from the anomalies, perhaps the Gu family will join your side.】
While You were lost in thought, Yu Daoyi did not continue to press You for details. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and she wouldn’t force You to speak.
Yu Daoyi then shared why she had ended up in the Ghost Demon Sea. It turned out she had once joined the Nine Star Pavilion and reached the position of Water Star candidate. To become one of the Nine Stars, the creator of the Nine Star Pavilion, who is also its Pavilion Master, gave her a test – to go to the Ghost Demon Sea and retrieve an item.
With unwavering determination, Yu Daoyi set out for the Ghost Demon Sea. She knew that if she told her father, Emperor Tianyu, he would undoubtedly stop her. So, she set off alone without telling anyone.
Originally, she believed that with her quasi-emperor’s Great Perfection cultivation, capable of confronting an elderly ordinary emperor, she could enter the Ghost Demon Sea without incident, as long as she didn’t go too deep. She thought she could easily complete the trial.
The Ghost Demon Sea was indeed terrifying. Even with her combat strength, she almost fell there. However, she was ultimately strong enough to obtain the item. But, when she was about to leave the Ghost Demon Sea, she was unexpectedly attacked by the previous Water Star, which left her seriously injured, forcing her to retreat deeper into the Ghost Demon Sea.
According to Yu Daoyi, once she chose to venture deeper into the Ghost Demon Sea, the previous Water Star stopped pursuing her. This puzzled her, as the other party had the ability to kill her but didn’t.
Finally, when she was on the verge of a miserable death in the Ghost Demon Sea, she had a brilliant idea. She chose to be swallowed by a demonic creature, then carved out a Small Universe inside its body to hide and heal until today.
“Yu Daoyi, so strong?”
Wang Ping looked at the text simulation, quite surprised.
Able to contend against an elderly ordinary emperor with quasi-emperor’s Great Perfection cultivation… This strength is not much different from that of the white-robed quasi-emperor.
No wonder Emperor Tianyu claimed his daughter was his greatest hope. Such talent and strength are indeed formidable. If she achieves the level of the Dao Emperor, she would be a powerful emperor.
By then, the Taiyi Emperor Palace would have two emperors, which could be considered a sign of great prosperity.
“In that case, we juniors are still playing small games in the era of the Golden Age.”
Wang Ping’s eyes flickered, and he thought of this point again.
People like Lei Wanqian and Gu Xuan belong to the younger generation, still quite young.
At their age, in the lifespan of an emperor, they are merely a drop in the ocean.
Emperors have many descendants.
Although not all of their offspring are so outstanding, those who have been sealed until the Golden Age are the best among them. However, their cultivation time is too short, unlike their older brothers and sisters.
There must be many who have fully matured like Yu Daoyi.
Although not everyone can reach Yu Daoyi’s level, they are definitely forces to be reckoned with.
“Therefore, the path of cultivation is really difficult… Contesting at every stage. Reaching a new level brings new challenges.”
Wang Ping couldn’t help but sigh.
“However, if the previous Water Star of the Ghost Demon Sea is still alive, why does the Nine Star Pavilion need to choose a new Water Star? And why did the previous Water Star attack Yu Daoyi? Is it to keep his position? It doesn’t seem that simple.”
Wang Ping thought about the Nine Star Pavilion again, deep in thought.
If it was to keep his position, he wouldn’t have let Yu Daoyi go later.
“Come to think of it, why did Yu Daoyi have such great prospects, yet go to the Nine Star Pavilion to compete for the position of Water Star?”
Wang Ping thought about Yu Daoyi and felt puzzled.
With Emperor Tianyu as her father and her own strength able to contend with an elderly ordinary emperor, once she becomes a Dao Emperor, she would be one of the top beings in the Upper Realm.
However, she chose to join the Nine Star Pavilion to compete for the position of Mercury, even risking entering the Ghost Demon Sea. This behavior is completely disadvantageous.
“Next, we should get the answer.”
Wang Ping calmed his mind and continued to focus on the screen, believing that the simulated Wang Ping would also think of this and thus inquire about Feather Dao Yi’s reasoning.
【Many questions flashed through your mind. Ultimately, you asked Feather Dao Yi why she joined the Nine Star Pavilion to compete for Mercury. In response, Feather Dao Yi remained silent, seemingly reluctant to reveal the reason.】
【You felt helpless but decided not to press further.】
【Just as you were about to give up asking, Feather Dao Yi sighed, feeling that the chances of survival in the Ghost Demon Sea were slim. Instead of keeping everything bottled up, she decided to share the reason.】
【Feather Dao Yi then told you the whole story. Her mother was killed by the Emperor of Destruction. She wanted revenge but Emperor Tianyu remained silent and chose not to avenge her.】
【For this reason, she felt disappointed with her father Emperor Tianyu. However, she did not think her father was entirely wrong.】
【To her, Emperor Tianyu was just an ordinary emperor. While he was her father, he also bore the responsibility of protecting the Taiyi Emperor Palace.】
【If Emperor Tianyu had chosen to battle the Emperor of Destruction, the probable outcome would be defeat and destruction. In that case, the Taiyi Emperor Palace would also be destroyed, making Emperor Tianyu the sinner of the palace.】
【Emperor Tianyu chose silence for the greater good, but Feather Dao Yi could not swallow this grievance. She wanted to become stronger, to achieve the status of an emperor, and then duel with the Emperor of Destruction.】
【Of course, Feather Dao Yi knew that the Emperor of Destruction was not an ordinary emperor but a supreme being like the Dark Time Emperor, whose power far surpassed other emperors. Even if she became an emperor, she would not be a match for him.】
【Thus, she thought of seeking external aid. If she could achieve emperor status and obtain the legendary Nine Star Power, she might have a chance to fight the Emperor of Destruction.】
【After all, the Nine Stars of the Nine Star Pavilion were rumored to grant power comparable to an emperor. In reality, it was more than that. Once obtaining the Nine Star Power, it would be true emperor-level power, even beyond regular emperors.】
【Feather Dao Yi believed that with dual emperor power, she could have a chance to kill the Emperor of Destruction and avenge her mother.】
【Upon hearing Feather Dao Yi’s story, you and Cai Yonglong sighed. You had not expected such a deep-seated enmity with Emperor Tianyu. No wonder Feather Dao Yi would take such extreme measures. No wonder someone as seemingly gentle as her would act so aggressively.】
“So that’s what happened…”
Wang Ping looked at the simulated content, finding it hard to remain calm.
At the same time, he gained a clearer understanding of the Nine Star Pavilion.
The Nine Star Pavilion was even more terrifying than he imagined.
“But if that’s the case, why would they decide to act against me preemptively after I defeated Gu Xuan? Why choose to deal with me within the secret realm? Nine emperor-level combat forces, along with the unfathomable Pavilion Master of the Nine Star Pavilion, such a lineup could easily obliterate any emperor-level force…”
Wang Ping recalled the events of the previous simulation, feeling deeply puzzled.
“Since it unfolded this way, there must be a reason. But, never mind, there’s too little information right now. There’s no need to overthink; it’s useless anyway.”
Quickly, Wang Ping cast aside this question and continued to focus on the screen.
【You then thought about Emperor Tianyu and sighed. You believed that given Emperor Tianyu’s character, he would definitely not give up on revenge silently. It’s possible that he was secretly accumulating power, planning to seek vengeance against the Emperor of Destruction when strong enough.】
【However, Emperor Tianyu never reached that point. You were unsure of Emperor Tianyu’s strength after the golden era began, but it was likely not at the level of an Emperor-level being. After all, the Nether Emperor was strong, but even he was not an Emperor-level being. If the Nether Emperor was not, then Emperor Tianyu probably wasn’t either.】
【Additionally, there was another reason. Based on your previous simulated memories, the Emperor of Destruction rarely appeared, not even during the golden era, nor did his successors.】
【Perhaps this was another reason why Emperor Tianyu didn’t seek battle. Without finding the person, how could he battle for revenge? Thus, after finding clues about his daughter Feather Dao Yi, Emperor Tianyu chose to forcibly break into the Ghost Demon Sea without hesitation.】
After all, he initially chose to abandon revenge for his Dao companion and chose to hide. Now that he had found clues about his daughter, it was naturally impossible for him to sit idly by anymore, even if it meant death, or betraying Taiyi Emperor Palace, he would still give it a try…
The result was his subsequent disappearance without a trace. Taiyi Emperor Palace lost a Great Emperor-level combat force and became very passive in the Golden Age. Although there were incarnations, incarnations couldn’t persist for long, their strength wasn’t sufficient, and their power would gradually be exhausted…
Next, after a brief silence, you asked Yu Dao Yi if her injuries had recovered after all these years here, and if this place was truly safe…
In response to your questions, Yu Dao Yi shook her head, indicating that she had damaged her essence. Unless she had the life blood of a quasi-emperor-level pure-blooded Phoenix or astonishing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it would be very difficult to recover…
As for the question of whether this place was safe, Yu Dao Yi also gave an answer. Although this place could be considered safe, it was not absolutely safe…
After all, this was the belly of a monster. Yu Dao Yi had only opened up a space to hide using a special Secret Technique. Although the monster’s intelligence was low and her strength far surpassed the monster’s, causing it to not notice anything unusual, if this monster was attacked or devoured by a stronger monster, there was a possibility of exposure…
Once exposed, the consequences would be extremely severe, and she too would be in mortal danger…
Listening to Yu Dao Yi’s words, you were also helpless. The higher the cultivation, once the essence is injured, recovery becomes a real hassle. After all, treasures that could be useful for them are really too rare. Therefore, when encountering battles at the Great Emperor level, unless one has absolute confidence in victory, they generally avoid deadly confrontations…
However, battles between Great Emperors have too great an impact. Besides possibly hidden powerful figures within the factions, no one knows what trump cards the opponent might have, even an ordinary Great Emperor might have an astonishing countermeasure. It is normal for powerful Great Emperors to be injured in a desperate counterattack…
Therefore, unless there is deep-seated hatred, very few Great Emperors would recklessly engage in deadly battles with another Great Emperor or a strong person at the Great Emperor level. Of course, if possible to gang up, it would naturally be permissible…
In previous simulations, the commotion was so great because it was rare for Great Emperors to stand on the same line, which put pressure on other Great Emperors and even the Gu family…
Afterward, you became quite troubled. You weren’t surprised by Yu Dao Yi’s answer. After all, until the Golden Age began and Emperor Tianyu went to find Yu Dao Yi, she had never appeared. This meant she either had been trapped here all along or would completely fall in the next hundred thousand years…
In such circumstances, relying on Yu Dao Yi to escape from the Ghost Demon Sea was impossible. For this reason, you thought that perhaps you might have to restart again, just wondering how long you could survive this time.
Perhaps, your only value of staying alive would be to gauge how long Yu Dao Yi could survive, as a preparation for rescuing her in the future…
After discussing a few more things, Yu Dao Yi prepared accommodations for you, urging you not to worry too much. Overthinking would change nothing, it would be better to cultivate and grow stronger slowly, as only then would there be a glimmer of hope for escape in the future…
In response to this, you naturally nodded, planning to cultivate properly. However, you thought of one more thing and asked Yu Dao Yi if she, upon obtaining your Origin-Breaking Divine Eyes, would have the confidence to lead everyone out of the Ghost Demon Sea…
Yu Dao Yi was quite surprised by your proposal. After all, not everyone would be willing to gouge out their own eyes for someone else, let alone such a rare pair of Origin-Breaking Divine Eyes…
Subsequently, Yu Dao Yi shook her head, indicating it would be meaningless. Given her current level, even with the Origin-Breaking Divine Eyes, her strength wouldn’t increase much. Although it would allow her to see through some dangers, it wouldn’t be of much use in the Ghost Demon Sea…
Unless she achieved the Great Success Dominion or developed the Origin-Breaking Divine Eyes to their limit, only then would her combat strength face a significant increase and she could truly see through falsehoods, slightly enhancing her chances of escape…
However, developing each special constitution is extremely difficult. She took an unknown amount of time and had great opportunities to develop her Heavenly Water Sacred Body to the Great Perfection…
Now, in such a perilous environment, it’s impossible to develop an even stronger Origin-Breaking Divine Eyes to the Great Success Dominion or their limit…
Hearing this, you sighed helplessly and refrained from saying more, already prepared for the worst…
In the blink of an eye, three years passed. During these three years, you cultivated diligently, but it wasn’t very meaningful. Upon reaching the Supreme level, unless there are significant opportunities, relying purely on yourself to grind out progress would be too slow…
However, it’s not as if you didn’t gain anything in cultivation. When the natural Saint grew a bit older, you accepted him as your disciple. As a result, your cultivation advanced from near the late Origin Supreme stage to the late Origin Supreme stage, just a step away from the peak…
Next, as there were no conditions to continue advancing, you planned to break through on your own. Of course, the First Minor Universe was still naturally propagating the Dao; if you could encounter a prodigy during this process and improve directly, that would be the best outcome…
In the blink of an eye, three thousand years had passed. Ultimately, during the natural propagation of the Dao, you did not find any prodigious talents to exploit. However, relying on your own effort, you successfully elevated your cultivation to the peak of Origin Supreme over these three thousand years…
At the same time, you also had other gains in these three thousand years. These gains included developing your Spacetime Dao Body to the Small Success Dominion, as well as developing the Origin-Breaking Divine Eyes to the Small Success Dominion, which brought a qualitative improvement to your strength…
The reason for such consistent breakthroughs was due to Yu Dao Yi’s guidance. Also, it had much to do with the jade stone disclosed by Supreme Feng Mo…
You don’t know exactly what this jade stone is, but once you took it out, Yu Daoyi was extremely surprised, stating that it is a shocking treasure that can help in developing one’s physique… It comes from that Allheavens Playground.
She had once obtained this item herself, which allowed her to develop her Tianshui Sacred Body to the Great Success Dominion. Although your jade stone is not as large as the one she got back then, it has similar effects.
With Yu Daoyi explaining the treasure’s function and usage, you made such a significant breakthrough in just three thousand years. It can be said that Supreme Feng Mo, that predecessor transmigrator, still had some usefulness.
Initially, you thought that what this guy dropped was useless and a failed gold coin drop… Now it seems you misjudged him.
Supreme Feng Mo still had some stock left. Unfortunately, he didn’t have any special physiques himself and couldn’t use this thing. It’s likely he was looking for ways to acquire a special physique before using it. As for the idea of selling it to continue betting at the Allheavens Playground, he probably didn’t dare to.
It’s clear, hesitation leads to defeat… In the end, he was just a loser, and this treasure fell into your lap.
Next, you chose to come out of seclusion, intending to battle with Yu Daoyi without using your talents to test your current combat power.
To this, Yu Daoyi did not decline… She was also very curious about your combat power after reaching the peak of the Origin Supreme Realm and developing the Spacetime Dao Body and Origin-Breaking Divine Eyes to the Small Success Dominion.
As your battle commenced, Yu Daoyi was astonished. Her tests concluded that your current combat power could already crush ordinary Heaven Supremes, and it seemed only a quasi-emperor could suppress you.
If your cultivation reaches the peak of the Heaven Supreme Realm, you might qualify to battle with a common quasi-emperor.
This evaluation greatly surprised you… However, you did not become overly arrogant; after all, you developed both talents to the Small Success Dominion to possess such combat power. On the other hand, the Chaos Body is evaluated such that as long as its cultivation reaches the peak of Heaven Supreme, it can battle with an aged quasi-emperor… They don’t even need to develop their physique to the Small Success Dominion to achieve such feats.
Though you fought with a common quasi-emperor while the Chaos Body fights with an aged quasi-emperor, the difference is still considerable, showcasing the terrifying power of the Chaos Body. Once the Chaos Body is also developed to the Small Success Dominion, the gap will likely widen again.
Of course, you’re not afraid… Anyway, you still possess talents; the seven-colored talent: Explosive Blade guarantees a quadruple critical strike damage effect… Anyone who fights with you will get a headache.
Although thinking this way, you still deeply desire the Chaos Body… If you can acquire the Chaos Body, it would be truly exhilarating, and your combat power would soar again, allowing you to easily fight across different levels.
After testing your combat power, you both continued your respective cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, another thirty thousand years passed. During this time, you focused on comprehending the Dao.
You’re not comprehending the true meaning of Heavenly Dao… After all, it’s still the end of the Dharma Era, and you can comprehend nothing… Forcing comprehension would just be a waste of time. This means you can’t comprehend 20% of the Spacetime Heavenly Dao’s true meaning, and your cultivation can’t advance to the Earth Supreme level.
You spend time perfecting your techniques and divine abilities… Previously, you tried to fuse the Dark Time Emperor’s Scripture and Devour Space Emperor’s Scripture among other Emperors’ Scriptures, aiming to integrate and refine them into your own Emperor’s Scripture.
Earlier, you always failed and didn’t have enough time to calmly create methods, but now, being trapped here, it’s undoubtedly an opportunity.
Moreover, your Spacetime Dao Body and Origin-Breaking Divine Eyes are both developed to the Small Success Dominion, deepening your understanding of their Dao Law essence, allowing you to delve more profoundly into the mysteries of various Emperors’ Scriptures, leading to significant gains.
After thirty thousand years, you’re not far from creating a true Spacetime Emperor’s Scripture of your own.
However, during this time, Cai Yonglong and the innate Saint were forced to self-seal early due to the inability to cultivate; otherwise, they risked dying of old age.
In another ten thousand years, you continued to remain in seclusion, comprehending the Dao, and you’re just one step away from realizing your own Spacetime Emperor’s Scripture… In such a state, you became immersed, like a stone, unmoving, completely ignoring external matters.
Your Dao comprehension and method creation have left Yu Daoyi astonished. If you can truly comprehend your own Emperor’s Scripture while in the Origin Supreme Realm, your combat power will increase exponentially…
After all, cultivating and fighting with someone else’s Emperor’s Scripture can’t fully unleash its might… At the quasi-emperor level, using your self-created quasi-emperor’s scripture versus using another great Emperor’s scripture makes little difference.
This is because your self-created techniques and divine abilities can perfect their power… Using other great Emperors’ scriptures to fight can’t fully unleash their might; often, not even half their effect is realized.
Thus, the gap between a quasi-emperor’s scripture and a great Emperor’s scripture doesn’t seem vast. In reality, the gap is significant… If you can comprehend your own great Emperor’s scripture at the Origin Supreme level, even if you discard those physiques and remain in the ordinary physique, you’ll still be nearly unbeatable among your peers… Only a few astonishing talents could match you… Your power would transform.
Unfortunately, without those special physiques, it’s difficult for a cultivator to comprehend an Emperor’s scripture at the Supreme level… This seems somewhat paradoxical.
