Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

"Duyi Realm? That is the prototype of the Eternal Emperors' Dao Will. Cultivators who enter this state are referred to as Eternal Talent, meaning that they have a higher chance of becoming an Eternal Emperor," replied Wu Hong.

However, she could see some confusion on Wang Wei's face, so she further explained:

"Do you know the different classifications of Great Emperors?"

"Yes, Third-Class, Second-Class, First-Class, and Eternal."

She nodded her head.

"After absorbing the Heaven Will, a cultivator will be granted direct access to the Source of the Grand Dao. However, there are different levels of comprehension.

"No matter the person, as long as they absorb the Heaven Will, they are guaranteed to have 5% understanding of the Source of whatever Grand Dao that they cultivate; that's the minimum requirement to become a Great Emperor.

"However, based on talent, perception, foundation, and even luck, some cultivators can understand more. Of the ones that understand 5-10% are classified as Third-Class Emperor, 11-15% are Second-Class, and 16-20% are First-Class."

"Does that mean that a higher percentage is an Eternal Emperor?" asked Wang Wei.

"No, 20% is the limit that the Heaven Will can provide. Furthermore requires cultivators to rely on themselves, to cultivate without aids.

"So, to become an Eternal Emperor, you have to understand 20% of the Grand Dao Source and two other things. The first one is to understand the concept of [Existence]...You can think of the concept of Omnipresent.

"This understanding is the reason that Eternal Emperors are so difficult to kill. As long as their name is written on a single piece of paper, they still exist and can be revived even if their bodies, souls, and Daos are annihilated."

Wang Wei nodded as he had some idea of how unkillable Eternal Emperors can be.

"As for the second thing that they need, it is to cast their Dao Will."

After saying that, Wu Hong paused to better gather her mind.

"Do you know that Great Emperors are virtually unkillable?" she asked.

"What do you mean?"

"As higher dimensional beings, how could their death be similar to other people? After connecting to the Grand Dao Source, they will leave an Imprint inside, making them not only immortal but also unkillable.

"As such, even if their bodies and soul were annihilated without leaving anything, they can still come back to life as long as the imprint still exists–albeit the process will take countless yuan epochs.

(1 Yuan Epoch=1.269 trillion years)

"Because of this fact, one way to kill a Great Emperor is to find their imprint and slowly remove it. And this process will also take countless epochs. So, although Great Emperors are not as unkillable as Eternal Emperors, they are not normal cultivators "

Wang Wei's eye lit up as he realized why so many people want to become Emperor; it was not just for longevity but also for survival.

"I'm guessing this fact also applies to Eternal Emperors as well?"

"Of course."

"I did not know you were so OP."

"That's why I always tell you to respect this Empress."

"Always at your service, my queen," replied Wang Wei with a smile. To kill an Eternal Emperor, you have to destroy their body, soul, Dao Imprint, and even erase them people's memories, erase their accomplishments in history, and even remove all records of their existence completely; they are truly overpowered.

A look of longing appeared in Wang Wei's eyes as he asked:

"So, what does everything has to do with Dao Will?"

"One of the main abilities of Dao Will is to instantly remove the imprints of Great Emperors from the Source, essentially making them their predator."

"Are there other ways to kill them?"

"A few, however, the number can be counted in one hand," replied Wu Hong before pausing for a moment to give him some time to digest the information.

"So, the Duyi Ream making easier to cast the Dao Will and increasing the chances of becoming an Eternal Emperors."

"Basically, yes."

Wang Wei nodded as he begin to ponder something.

"Are you thinking of asking your father to use your [Nine Nirvana Blood Qi] to enter the Duyi Realm as you did?"

"Yes. With his talent, it should not be a problem to become an Eternal Emperor given the right opportunity."

"Unfortunately, that won't work," replied Wu Hong. "There are two ways to enter the Duyi Realm. The first and orthodox method is to create a cultivation system."

"That seems easy."

"Not really," replied Wu Hong. "High-level cultivators can indeed create techniques and so on, but that is only tailored to them. A cultivation system needs to be universal, and applicable to a large group of people. Furthermore, the system has to meet a certain standard before being approved and entering the Duyi Realm."

Indeed, she was correct about that.

"So, what's the unorthodox method?"

"That's the method you used. Take an already existing cultivation system and push its boundary, go beyond its rules and limitation, and make it unique. Just like you broke through the 13th Layer of the Blood Qi Realm; to be precise, you created that layer."

"I'm guessing that this is not the only way to enter?" Every time he did something unique to a cultivation realm, the strength of the Duyi Realm would also increase in turn.

"It's just like you guess. For example, Di Tian entered the Duyi Realm because he has nine Divine Seas, nine Divine Altars, nine Ancient Lamps and Good Fortune Flames, and nine Primordial Spirit. As for me, it's because I seal the Divine Sea of others Heaven Chosens into my body.

"At my peak, I had 3000 Divine Seas and Divine Altars, which was the limit."

Wang Wei nodded his head. Having more Divine Sea did not necessarily mean more strength as one of them could be vast enough to be equal to the 3000. However, it would have provided her a vast amount of origin essence, probably unlike anyone before.

Additionally, the Divine Altar will play another role in the Void Shattering Realm, giving her another advantage. Wang Wei finally understood how she was able to match Di Tian after 6 reincarnations.

"So, what do you mean that my [Nine Nirvana Blood Qi] could not allow my father to enter the Duyi Realm?"

"The method of entering the Duyi Realm has to be unique. If father-in-law wanted to enter, he could recultivate and enter the 13th Layer of Body Refining Realm, however, he had to create a method of his own, not use yours otherwise it would not succeed."

Wang Wei understood her meaning. For example, both she and Di Tian used a plethora of Divine Seas to enter this realm, but they did it with different methods.

Di Tian did it with the Dao of Reincarnation, most likely, while Wu Hong did it with the Dao of Sealing.

"So, what's the difference between the orthodox and unorthodox method?"

"There are only two main differences. The first one is that the orthodox method takes longer. After creating a cultivation system, it has to spread to a certain number of people before entering the Duyi Realm.

"The second difference is that people who used the unorthodox method have to survive Divine Punishmen Thunder. So, only people with status or high luck can enter this realm."

Wang Wei nodded as he understood what she meant. To survive Divine Punishment Thunder, Emperor Level formations or artifacts are required. So, only people from Emperor Lineages have access to such things.

So, when it comes to cultivators with lower backgrounds, they have to be lucky enough to have acquired Emperor Artifacts through fortunate encounters. Otherwise, they will be annihilated by Heaven.

This difference is a manifestation of a person's destiny. Because of luck, fate, or destiny, some people have a natural higher chance of entering the Duyi Realm and thus a higher chance of becoming Eternal Emperors than others.

"Fate is truly unfair," said Wang Wei.

"Yes, some things are destined," replied Wu Hong softly as she remembered the other timeline. There, Wang Wei entered the Duyi Realm during the Golden Core Realm when he refined his core 81 times instead of the limit of 9. In the end, he had to enter a forbidden place in the Pursuing Longevity World and used it to survive the punishment. However, after that, he was still in great danger and had to struggle to survive and leave out of there relatively intact.

And in this timeline, he did it right at the beginning of his cultivation. Throughout history, so many cultivators do not even know the existence of this realm and have no thought or the ability to enter it.

As for the few who do, the majority die under the punishment. While some people, no matter the circumstances, will eventually enter that realm.

Wang Wei was deep in thought. He still wanted his father to enter the Duyi Realm. So, he was prepared to give him some ideas on how he could do that. However, the method of execution would be left for him to figure out.

He truly believed that given the opportunity, Wang Tian would be able to become an Eternal Emperor. As for his mother, he had to accept that her talent was only on par with a First-Class Emperor, and maybe on the lower end.

As such, he had to plan a different path for her.
