Chapter 1033: Chapter 1032: The Eminent Monk of the Emperor Realm

Yijin Jing!

Broad and profound, not something that can be fully comprehended in a short period, the cultivation method of Martial Arts True Qi; the cultivation method of Martial Arts Divine Arts; the cultivation method of Martial Arts Formation; the refining method of Martial Arts Pill; the alternative methods of Martial Arts Skill.

The entire ”Yijin Jing” cultivation treasure book is divided into five major categories, and within these five categories, there are some subcategories. The cultivation method of Martial Arts True Qi has only one powerful record, while Martial Arts Divine Arts comes in many varieties, Martial Arts Formation is the same, and the refining methods of Martial Arts Pills are even more diverse. As for some alternative martial arts skills, Ye Tianchen simply didn’t have time to read.

During the time Ye Tianchen obtained the inheritance of ”Yijin Jing,” he has been meticulously studying and cultivating Martial Arts True Qi and Martial Arts Divine Arts. As for the subsequent Martial Arts Formation, Martial Arts Pill, and alternative Martial Arts Skill, he simply hasn’t had the time to look at them. This is because everything recorded in Yijin Jing is rather extraordinary, profound, and complex. Ye Tianchen has also understood much from it. If the things recorded in Yijin Jing weren’t powerful enough, Ye Tianchen might not have been able to reach his current state. He truly feels the might of ”Yijin Jing,” and it’s indeed not an exaggeration to say this cultivation treasure book is revered as the number one cultivation immortal scripture in the Martial Arts World.

Of course, Ye Tianchen also clearly understands that merely obtaining the supreme cultivation treasure book or possessing the supreme martial arts treasure does not make one a prominent figure in the Martial Arts World or a strong person in this universe. At most, it merely grants a slight chance to become a strong person. The key lies in whether the person who obtains these items has the insight, the talent, the perseverance, the opportunity. The road of martial arts is extremely arduous and challenging; the further one goes, the harder it becomes. Many martial artists, upon reaching a certain martial arts cultivation realm, remain stagnant forever. Such people are very common. To walk further and longer on this path requires a cultivator to possess all kinds of conditions and requirements, which are very high.

After hearing Master Fang Yi’s words, Ye Tianchen unfolded the ”Yijin Jing” cultivation treasure book imprinted in his mind and found the record of the ”Eighteen Golden Arhat Array” from the Martial Arts Formation Chapter. He discovered it was exceedingly complex and profound to the extent he couldn’t even understand it. Under such circumstances, mastering the layout technique of this formation quickly could take decades, or even hundreds of years. However, according to the condition of the egg sealed on the ”Sealing Demon Cliff,” it seems it will break out in less than fifty thousand years, possibly even sooner.

Everyone knows that once this egg emerges, it will spell disaster for the Martial Arts World. This egg is the offspring of an ancient alien race’s fierce bird, endowed with powerful and incredible strength. It will bring devastating calamity to the Buddhist Sect and even the entire Human Clan. Even if it takes fifty thousand years to surface, Ye Tianchen must learn the ”Eighteen Golden Arhat Array” in the shortest time. This egg is incredibly strong, especially with the intricate runes on its shell supplying threads of Divine Power to it. The egg already shows a tiny crack. Once it breaks open, it will emerge, and even if Ye Tianchen masters the ”Eighteen Golden Arhat Array,” he may not be able to stop the egg from coming out. Thus, he must learn it as quickly as possible to prevent the inevitable emergence of this formidable egg.

”It seems this eminent monk from the Buddhist Sect foresaw this day; that’s why he erected eighteen stone steles of Golden Arhats at the top of Sealing Demon Cliff, recording how he eradicated this ancient alien race and sealed the egg with the Eighteen Golden Arhat Array on human-shaped stone steles. He was a wise predecessor who considered deeply!” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but speak.

”Amitabha Buddha, Master Ye is wise. Back then, this eminent monk predecessor from our Buddhist Sect had great wisdom and powerful mana. To tell you the truth, this eminent monk predecessor single-handedly wiped out the entire ancient alien race, injuring himself severely. In addition, he continued to arrange the Eighteen Golden Arhat Array until his Divine Power was drained, leaving him critically weak. This did not yet lead to his demise, but who would have thought that after leaving these eighteen human-shaped stone steles, the eminent monk predecessor dispersed into the world through self-transformation...” Master Fang Yi said regretfully.

”Why did this eminent monk predecessor, who might not have reached the Emperor Realm, choose self-transformation? At this level, he should be formidable enough; otherwise, he couldn’t possibly have eradicated an ancient race single-handedly.” Ye Tianchen asked in astonishment.

Master Fang Yi looked at the eighteen human-shaped stone steles before him, sighed, and said, ”Master Ye received the inheritance from the Yijin Jing, so you surely know of a cultivation realm unknown to most martial artists. Becoming an Emperor does not necessarily make one the master of this Martial Arts World. Only upon reaching the Emperor Realm can one travel the world and have almost no rivals. The understanding and insights from the Martial Arts path far exceed those of other martial artists. Above the Emperor Realm lies Emperor Spirit, Emperor Master, Emperor, Emperor Saint, and Emperor King. Only by reaching the Emperor King realm can one truly become the master of this world, overlooking the universe, sitting in the Heavenly Vault, and being unrivaled. However, throughout history, in a billion years, martial artists reaching the Emperor King realm were nearly nonexistent. Even if there were some legends, no events were recorded about this Emperor. The Emperor realm is one that evokes awe among all beings in the universe...”

”Yes, I’ve understood from the Yijin Jing that this is a new height. In a billion years, less than three reached the Emperor King realm. Of course, the information we know is limited. Most martial artists hardly reach the Emperor realm, let alone discussing another greater height. So no one thinks of other higher cultivation realms anymore,” Ye Tianchen nodded.

Indeed, above the martial artist’s cultivation realm, almost no one has reached the Emperor King realm. Even if there were such celestial figures, their deeds might not be recorded because, at this level, even the world cannot perceive or control them. They can indeed dominate the universe. Throughout history, even those reaching the Emperor realm were scarce, not to mention realms above. Over time, all martial artists set their goal to reach the Emperor realm. Even among billions of cultivators, only a few eventually reach the Emperor realm. As for higher realms, they are beyond imagination, are seldom spoken of, and are slowly forgotten even among the descendants of cultivators.

”It’s said that the eminent monk predecessor who exterminated an ancient race and eventually sealed this egg had reached the Emperor realm...” Master Fang Yi said, his tone astonishingly.

”An Emperor realm monk is formidable, unparalleled in the world, capable of challenging any strong person. He exterminated an ancient race but was severely injured and couldn’t destroy this egg...” Ye Tianchen said in shock.

Ye Tianchen was truly astounded that this eminent monk predecessor from the Buddhist Sect reached the Emperor realm. He was mighty, able to destroy the heavens and earth with a single gesture, blow apart a star without the slightest suspense. Destroying an entire race alone wasn’t difficult, not even battling the entire ancient race, just exterminating one among them. However, this Emperor monk was severely injured and couldn’t crush this egg even with a single slap. What does this imply? The resilience and strength of this ancient fierce bird’s race are extraordinarily powerful. This egg is also incredibly formidable; truly, one cannot be careless and let it emerge...

”This egg is indeed mysterious and strong. The eminent monk predecessor, after exterminating an ancient fierce bird race, was injured, but not enough for him to perish. At most, it only reduced his lifespan. However, he transformed into a seated meditation on the Sealing Demon Cliff because during his transformation, he said...”

Buzz!

Before Master Fang Yi could finish, the entire ”Sealing Demon Cliff” trembled, an immense aura swept forth, nearly casting Ye Tianchen and Master Fang Yi off the cliff. It was truly astounding, though only a rather weak aura. Yet, as this aura surfaced, a plain yet authoritative voice emerged:

”All beings are equal; what distinction between species is there? I was forced to act to eliminate a race, tainted with blood on my hands. The only redemption is to dissipate alongside those I slew. This is sufficient to atone for my sins. Life and death, death and life, with no path to Eternal Life Immortal, living till the end leads only to dust...”

Ye Tianchen was taken aback, shockingly. The voice was so plain yet commanding, the words laden with profound philosophical truths, indeed astonishing. Whereas Master Fang Yi had sincerely bowed on the ground before the eighteen human-shaped stone steles with utmost reverence, fearing any trace of disrespect...(to be continued.
