Chapter 499: Chapter 487: The End of the World
Just as the proverb goes: "Gentle maiden, noble man desires."
Heroes love beautiful women, and beauties likewise admire heroes.
"Wei, should there be an opportunity during this journey, I will bring back some specialties. Is there anything you wish for? You may tell me."
Diyang Wushuang has quite a bit of attention focused on Wei, clearly having some thoughts for her.
In terms of status, position, and background, Wei indeed is a perfect match. Coupled with Tianwei herself being unrivaled in beauty, her noble and cold demeanor makes her pursued by countless prodigies.
The Immortal from the Night Sea Race walked out with swaying steps, her posture particularly enchanting, appearing yin-soft and alluring.
Ye Hai Mingyue remarked, "I thought it would be someone noteworthy, turned out to be unknown, seems you’ve only entered the Immortal Domain a few years ago."
"In your eyes, you probably only see those twenty-some from Earth Civilization?" Cyan Emperor’s lips curled slightly.
These visitors from the Exotic Realm might truly be overconfident.
Even though he has been renowned for many years in the Half-Step Immortal Domain, in their eyes, he is still a junior.
Even though he now stepped into the Immortal Domain, he is seen as a rookie, new entrants are always overlooked by these seasoned ones.
"I have only cultivated for four or five hundred years, truly too young.
Unable to match your solid foundation of millions or tens of millions of years of cultivation, and your exploration in the Immortal Domain for tens of millions of years.
Yet, the accumulation over these few years is sufficient for me to engage in a bout with you all."
Cyan Emperor gazed at the female Immortal of the Night Sea Race, a middle-aged man from the Celestial God Race, and an elder from the Diyang Race.
Apart from the leader, the middle-aged man, the other three Immortals, despite their cultivation in their own worlds for tens of millions of years, Cyan Emperor harbors no fear.
This confidence stems from his powerful strength and various means of backup.
Ye Hai Mingyue, a great beauty, has held her position high for unknown years, filled with pride and dignity.
Upon hearing Cyan Emperor’s mockery, a nameless fire rose within her heart.
Yet heard Diyang Zhenyi, the leader, say, "You’re not bad, but far from being our opponent; facing four when your cultivation level is inferior is not an act of wisdom."
In his view, Cyan Emperor’s actions, even if not futile like an ant trying to stop a chariot, are still a matter of overestimating himself to challenge a rock with an egg.
Cyan Emperor calmly said, "I have managed this place for many years, my array is passable, cultivation level alright, and I could even draw upon the power of heaven and earth.
Whereas you all, not only powerless to draw upon, but also repelled by the source.
Although I am not a match for you, blocking you seems to pose no problem."
This is the advantage of local battle.
But even with many favorable conditions, he is not weak, and he is confident that fighting one outside can be overcome.
But facing four, it’s too difficult.
"Are you aware of the cost of doing this?" Diyang Zhenyi asked coldly.
A being at the level of Immortal, with a casual strike, can destroy a Life Planet; their majesty is forged in blood.
If action is taken here, likely the entire Li Family of Celestial, with tens of thousands of bloodline descendants, will perish.
Cyan Emperor smiled slightly, "I am aware, and can afford it, but are you aware of your purpose and the cost of clashing with me?"
If the sole intention were merely for a fight, that group would not have delved into the depths of Earth Civilization; this definitely holds the risk of death.
Diyang Zhenyi said, "I wish to go to Immortal Martial Mountain, to see your highly touted Martial Immortal, to see truly how much weight he can bear.
As for you, Fang Gonggu is still not qualified to discuss with me."
The four Immortals, especially him at the peak of Immortal, represent the will of the Celestial Divine Realm civilization.
Diyang Zhenyi is fully confident that his combat skills rank among the top in the Celestial Divine Realm, and surely a formidable force in Earth Civilization.
A mere five hundred years, Earth Civilization has fostered over twenty Immortals, already fairly impressive.
Such a brief time, even with ample resources, may not suffice for those Immortals to reach the Peak of Immortal, right?
Even if there is, what can they do against Diyang Zhenyi!
A strong person is a strong person wherever they go!
Cyan Emperor pondered, musing for a while, then said, "Since it is a negotiation, there seems no rush on this day. Why don’t the four of you sit down and discuss the Path with me?"
The Celestial Divine Realm sending representatives to Earth is an unclear signal, where the pros and cons need weighing.
Earth Civilization needs time to consider, explore, and prepare; otherwise, rushed confrontation would lead to being caught off guard.
"Truly want this?" Diyang Zhenyi was somewhat annoyed.
"Immortal Martial Mountain indeed has significant events today, if the few of you head there now, you might truly become the troublesome uninvited guests.
Discussing the Path with me, a day will pass in the blink of an eye, just a day, I hope the few of you will oblige."
Cyan Emperor sat in the middle, pointed a finger, amidst the chaotic mist, a pond of Cyan Lotus swayed.
A Cyan Lotus bloomed, its leaves slightly cyan, the base white and gradually reddening upwards, filled with the essence of life.
"Chaos creates the source, source begets the Path, Path gives rise to the Law, Lawification returns to source essence.
Every path follows its own course, and through their collisions, they create this flourishing world, circulating endlessly in movement and balance.
From the limitless emerges the supreme ultimate, and the supreme ultimate contains yin and yang.
Life and death, creation and destruction, above and below, the movement of the organic gives rise to yin and yang.
...
My path governs the generation of wood and commands the life of all in spring.
Vitality is omnipresent and stands opposed to the aura of death. Those abundant in vitality have long life and enduring strength, while those with declining vitality face hardship and struggle to breathe.
...
The Cyan Emperor donned his azure and yellow robes, sliced with his right hand, causing the cyan lotus and lotus in the pool of chaos to wither and transform into mountains and rivers, swiftly creating a piece of heaven and earth.
As vitality surged through the heavens and earth, various flora seemed summoned, sprouting and branching crazily.
The entire spring melded into a quarter hour, the shock of life, and the explosion of vitality were exceedingly beautiful.
Without vitality, the world would lose its brilliance.
With the exuberance of vitality, summer arrived, bringing abundant resources to a lush green world.
Unaware of how much time passed, the breath of life began to withdraw, and the vegetation transitioned from prosperity to decline, from summer to autumn.
With autumn, the sorrow is great.
The sorrow of autumn, however, is far less than the dormancy of life in winter.
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, the rise and fall of life’s breath, complete one cycle, which is a continuous repetition.
Diyang Zhenyi sat cross-legged, watching the evolving world, his gaze motionless, lost in thought.
Ye Hai Mingyue of the Night Sea Race and Tian Xiu of the Celestial God Race felt a heavy heart, unable to suppress the countless distractions rising within them.
Though the Cyan Emperor’s cultivation level was not as high as theirs, his path was clear and profound, unique and confident.
The Path of Life, though a natural great Dao of heaven and earth, is difficult to comprehend and master, inevitably ranking within the top thirty if not the top ten among many great Daos.
Learn from heaven and earth, take one’s own path, create one’s own Dao, and cultivate one’s own classics.
Such a person is a being of great enlightenment and wisdom, a strong one in the same realm.
The vast majority of cultivators travel the broad and open paths paved by predecessors, a road swift and stable.
Life is limited, energy is limited, wisdom is limited.
To climb to higher life levels, countless cultivators rush forward, hardly anyone, like the Cyan Emperor, becomes a pathfinder.
Ye Hai Mingyue is an Immortal, Tian Xiu is an Immortal; though they innovated upon the cultivation techniques created by their ancestors.
However, compared to the Cyan Emperor, who creates one path and forms his own classic cultivation, they fall far behind!
Now the Cyan Emperor’s cultivation level is not as high as theirs, but his future prospects exceed theirs, and his combat power in the same realm surpasses theirs as well!
The gap between a pioneer and a steward, in vision and wisdom, is not minor.
"This path, did you create it?"
Diyang Zhenyi’s voice held a trace of melancholy.
The Cyan Emperor replied without joy or sorrow: "Naturally, there was no road before me, so I could only carve my own.
It is only with a broad and open path that the fools at home can walk faster and farther in their lifetime, achieving some success."
Diyang Zhenyi continued to ask: "Then, are most of the Immortals of Earth Civilization path creators?"
"Naturally." The Cyan Emperor repeated, his tone unchanged.
He added, not only are these Immortals, but also the wise ones of the early Era of Mythology of Earth Civilization, all walk this path.
The cultivation techniques taught, upon reaching the Celestial Immortal Chapter, basically reach an end.
Disciples who cannot find their own path or create their own cultivation techniques, only receive teachings from elders.
Outstanding individuals sifted through generations, thousands have ventured their own paths.
In the Immortal Holy Land, even the less talented will strive to find their own path at the True Tier, even if only slight innovation, otherwise, they would not be worthy of the sect’s nurturing.
The truly outstanding ones aim to surpass their masters.
Those disciples who rely solely on the past and walk the old path have lost the core qualification for cultivation in true reputable sects.
Despite most disciples never realizing this in their lifetime. Unknowingly, they have already lost certain qualifications.
Cultivate one’s own unique path.
This relentless pursuit, unparalleled heroism, and pride are precisely what elevate Earth Civilization to prominence among the Ten Thousand Realms.
Otherwise, how could Earth Civilization, with merely a tenth or even a hundredth of the population, produce several times, if not ten times, the super strong contenders of other Immortal civilizations!
A lofty vision, exceptional wisdom, broad-mindedness, unparalleled pride, and tireless pursuit.
These exceptional figures of Earth Civilization are the backbone of civilization, the Sky Pillar supporting the vast heavens and earth!
