Chapter 426: Seeker? Destroyer!
Soon, the Monument Spirit answered Ye Feng’s questions.
“Emperor Heaven, Qingming Heaven, Heaven of Nothingness, Limitless Heaven, Supreme Heaven, Supreme Purity Heaven, Upper Purity Heaven, Jade Purity Heaven, and Daluo Heaven—these are the Nine Heavens!”
“The Supreme and the God Lord belong to the first tier of heavens, the Emperor Heaven.”
“As for the three Demon Lords, they are of the second tier, Qingming Heaven.”
“And the strength of Xuanming is of the sixth tier, the Supreme Purity Heaven!”
At the instant the Monument Spirit answered, Ye Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. So, Xuanming’s strength was actually ranked in the sixth tier of heavens.
This meant that among the thirty-four people ahead of him, there were at least those who existed above the sixth tier of heavens.
Conversely, among these thousand people, they must all be at least strong enough to be of the first tier of heavens.
If he was not mistaken, perhaps among the top fifty, many of the strong possessed Hongmeng Purple Qi.
“Then… besides that figure, are there any other strong beings with the strength of the Transcendence Realm?”
After Ye Feng asked this question, the Heaven and Earth Stele fell silent for a long while, to the point where Ye Feng began to doubt if the other party would answer him at all, but then it did.
“Yes!”
“As expected!”
A glint of divine light crossed Ye Feng’s eyes, but he did not continue to press on this matter.
“You still haven’t answered me, what exactly is the Heaven and Earth Stele?”
He chose to return to the first question he had asked. After all, the previous scenes only showed the relationship between that figure, the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and these people, never explaining the origin of the Heaven and Earth Stele.
This time, the Heaven and Earth Stele did not speak, and the scene before Ye Feng’s eyes flickered and began to change once again.
In an endless Darkness, one day a point of light suddenly emerged. Then, that point of light grew as if it could Devour the Darkness, gradually becoming more formidable.
Until one day, the light tore through the Darkness and, like bursting from a shell, it burst forth from the Darkness, splitting into two figures.
The faces of these two figures, Ye Feng could not discern, or perhaps even the Heaven and Earth Stele did not know their true countenances.
For many long years, these two figures always advanced and retreated together, until one day, over a certain matter, they began an intense debate that ultimately led to their parting ways.
One of the figures found three individuals and taught each of them a different Cultivation Technique. Then, without further concern for these three individuals, it left behind a Purple Qi Light Group and disappeared without a trace.
One of these three people was the figure Ye Feng had seen before.
The other figure found only one individual, but did not pass on any Cultivation Technique. Instead, it recreated the Darkness, allowing this person to experience the path it had once walked.
In the end, this person brought it great satisfaction, breaking through the Darkness and emerging stronger than those three individuals.
Seeing this, that figure also disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only those four.
The scene shifted once more, showing the four splitting into two camps. They fought to a draw, one against three, until at the critical moment, the one Ye Feng had seen before severely wounded the other two, took the Purple Qi Light Group, and disappeared instantly as a fleeing light.
The two who were severely wounded were then killed by the remaining individual from the other camp.
After killing the two, the individual from his own camp did not pursue the third, but took the endless years to create a stele, which he then thrust into the Chaos, before he himself vanished.
As Ye Feng watched, not only did his questions not diminish, but they multiplied.
So, there’s only one Heaven and Earth Stele? And it predates the Primordial Eternal Realm?
Because he could see that even during the one on three confrontation, the entire space was still Chaos, completely devoid of the Eternal Realms, just boundless space.
Just as he was puzzled, the scene before his eyes flashed, revealing a plot familiar to Ye Feng.
The figure hesitated and could not refine the Purple Qi Light Group, so he was forced to divide the Purple Qi Light Group into fifty parts, attempting to forcefully refine the second one, which nearly caused him to collapse.
In the end, unwilling to accept this outcome, he used his Supreme Divine Skills to create forty-nine Eternal Realms within the Chaos.
Each Eternal Realm was immensely vast, so much so that even the unbeatable emperors below the nine heavens could not fathom their limits.
Then, he injected the forty-nine strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi into these forty-nine Eternal Realms.
However, for some unknown reason, under the intervention of that figure, some people from the Eternal Realms with Hongmeng Purple Qi were transferred to the lower realms of other Eternal Realms, unaware of it themselves.
Ye Feng was one of those who had been moved.
Because he was supposed to ascend to the Grand Universe Eternal Realm.
Time seemed to pass for a long while, yet it felt like just a moment, and Ye Feng had figured out the origin of the Heaven and Earth Stele.
The reason he was able to converse with the Monument Spirit of the Heaven and Earth Stele wasn’t because he was special, it was only because he possessed a strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi.
The original Yuan, as well as Xuanming, had conversed with the Monument Spirit of the Heaven and Earth Stele too, but what they asked remained unknown to Ye Feng.
“Two paths, huh~”
“Seeker? Destroyer!”
A glint of insight crossed Ye Feng’s eyes as he clearly perceived the two distinct paths of cultivation presented in the images shown by the Monument Spirit.
And right now, he was on the path of the Seeker.
However, the figure who treated all beings as mere chess pieces displeased him, suggesting that the Heaven and Earth Stele didn’t want that person to be at peace, or perhaps it was the person behind the Heaven and Earth Stele.
Just as Ye Feng entered the Heaven and Earth Stele, the Palace Master Xuanming deep within Xuanming Tao Palace seemed to have sensed something, his gaze piercing through the void and landing on the Heaven and Earth Stele.
“He went in, huh?”
“I wonder, what will your choice be?”
Xuanming’s eyes suddenly became incredibly deep, as anyone would be angry upon discovering they were merely a pawn.
But the issue is, to transform from a pawn to a player, one must first reach the Transcendence Realm.
And he was far too distant from that!
Fortunately, that individual probably also had to wait until they reached the Transcendence Realm before beginning the harvest.
For this reason, Xuanming had always suppressed his own power at the Sixth Heaven.
Yes, suppressed!
He didn’t understand why those ranked among the top thirty-four didn’t do the same.
“Boom!”
In another space, Jin Ling was wrapped in the Great Sun’s Divine Flame, her aura explosively unleashed as she faced a duplicate of herself.
This was the nineteenth version of herself she faced.
From the Black Iron Realm, all the way to her current Eternal Realm!
And this Eternal Realm began with an unbeatable emperor!
Yet even if the opponent was an unbeatable emperor, they were nothing before her!
