Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 564

Chapter 564 Danyuan Emperor

Wang Wei always felt it was weird that none of the Profession Ancestors were Eternal Emperors since they essentially rebuilt the Myriad Emperor World's cultivation civilization.

Since Emperor Kong could receive a boost to achieve the status of Eternal Emperor, at least one of these people should have received a boost for their accomplishment.

"Qin Zhu's situation is a little complicated," replied Wu Hong as she tried to remember the detail. "Red Cauldron Empyrean was a talented pill refiner. However, she was injured in the attempt to enter the Paragon Realm. So, she decided to refine a unique pill that would not only help her heal but also help in her breakthrough."

"Wait, you don't only need to comprehend 90% of the Grand Dao Source to become a Paragon?"

"Of course not. Cultivating in the Immortal Stage is not simple, no matter the path."

"Can you give me an example?"

Wu Hong glared at him.

"I know we are going off track, but I'm curious."

"Let me think. Empyreans can create life at will, but Dao Rulers can do so as well in their Inner World; they require living beings to help them bear higher percentages of the Grand Dao Source.

"Immortal Sovereigns also have something similar to help them gather and purify Qi."

"I"m sure there is a difference between the three. Can you elaborate?"

"Don't you want to know about the Danyuan Emperor?"

"I do, but this current topic has piqued my interest."

"Whatever. Empyreans create life to help them understand the Grand Dao Source. You can think of it as an aid to shorten the time needed for cultivation."

"Even then, it stills takes yuan epochs?"

"Exactly. That's why things like merit, luck, and incense are extremely valuable in the Eternal Ascension World."

"I see. What about the others?"

"Dao Rulers can create life in their Inner World. However, these lives cannot live for long outside of the Inner World. So, most Dao Rulers will take people from the inside and place them inside their Inner Worlds instead."

"So, population is a valuable resource; that's scary," said Wang Wei.

"Indeed. Immortal Sovereigns can create something called Life Projection inside their Dantian to help manage their Immortal Mansion. Life Projection is essentially a projection of people; they are imaginary people. Inside the dantian, these people are real, but outside, they do not exist; they have no genuine [Existence]."

"I see," muttered Wang Wei. "I'm guessing they also have ways to deal with the issue?"

"Yes. They usually absorbed souls to fuel the Life Projections and compensate for their deficiencies."

Wang Wei shook his head. With these Immortals all powerful and not restrained by Karma, he could imagine the life of mortals in the upper dimension was worse than hell.

"It's not as bad as you imagine," said Wu Hong. "Life Projections are immortal as long as their creator is alive. So, many people voluntarily offer their souls since this is another form of achieving immortality.

"As for the people entering Dao Ruler's Inner World, it is also a way of safety and living a peaceful life."

Wang Wei nodded. "Alright, you can tell me about Qin Zhu. I did not even know that was the Danyuan Emperor's real name."

"Where was I? Yes, Red Cauldron Empyrean. The final step for her refinement was for the pill to gain sentience and experience Samsara. However, one of her rivals, Steel Cauldron Empyrean, learned of her action and interfered with the pill's reincarnation.

"He made the pill aware of its creator and its ultimate fate. And as you can guess, that pill was the Danyuan Emperor."

"That could explain his talent for the pill," added Wang Wei. "So, what happened next?"

"Qin Zhu immediately ran to the lower dimension and even entered reincarnation again to hide from Red Cauldron. After being reborn in the Myriad Emperor World, he proved the Dao and became an Eternal Emperor.

"I guess he planned to hide his status in case Red Cauldron decided to kill him one day but was unaware of his status as an Eternal, and he could secretly revive. So, he erased this information from history and left some subtle means to prevent anyone from deducing the truth."

"From your tone, I'm guessing his plan did not work."

"Yes. By the time he ascended, Red Cauldron Empyrean had a fortunate encounter that allowed her to become a Paragon. However, her soul was incomplete because she used a part of it to refine that pill."

"So, was the final fate of the Danyuan Emperor being absorbed?"

"No. He was smart and quickly ran into Primordial Chaos, traveling to other Chaos Worlds to hide. By the time he returned to the Eternal Ascension World, he was already a Boundless Paragon."

"So, he dealt with Red Cauldron?"
