Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1245 - 749: The Three Paths of the Divine Dynasty

Chapter 1245: Chapter 749: The Three Paths of the Divine Dynasty

"What do you have to offer in return?"

From the moment Shen Yi saw the vast Emperor’s Aura, he knew that today he probably wouldn’t gain any tangible benefits.

The other party seemed to be boasting, but was actually explaining... explaining the initial question.

It was just as Shen Yi had previously speculated.

This Human Emperor was indeed prepared to offer up more than half of Shen Zhou as the price, but he wasn’t a madman. It was because he had something that could lead him to victory.

To win against the celestial gods and buddhas.

As for how to win, the other party did not explain, but in the face of such a vast Emperor’s Aura, even the strongest being Shen Yi had seen, the Great Freedom Pure World Bodhisattva, appeared as insignificant as an ant.

"What do you need the most right now?" The Human Emperor immersed himself in the wine pool, with only his head exposed.

Shen Yi pondered for a long while, then raised his head and earnestly said, "Survival."

"Exactly."

The man smiled, as if he had expected this: "Borrowing strength among the Three Religions is extremely perilous. Though you successfully beheaded the Southern Emperor, there is always a price to pay."

"Are you in a heap of trouble now?"

The Human Emperor said, sinking down to take a sip of wine, his tightly furrowed brows slightly relaxing, "What do you plan to do?"

"Head to the North Continent and seek refuge with the Three Immortals Sect."

Shen Yi did not hide anything, knowing that with the other party’s control over the Emperor’s Aura of the world, it was exceedingly easy to find out about his movements.

"So, now it’s the monks of the Bodhi Sect who want to kill you?"

The Human Emperor lightly nodded, continuing, "How exactly do you plan to seek refuge? Give me the specifics."

"..." freёnovelkiss.com

Shen Yi fell silent again, shaking his head, "I have no plan. I don’t know much about the Three Religions."

He was completely unfamiliar with the North Continent. Although he could borrow the knowledge of the Shenxu Ancestor, this Insect Demon had never been to the North Continent either. Even though it had acquired the Divine Void Skill to cultivate immortality, it had been ostracized into the Hidden Void Realm and rarely emerged even in the Southern Continent.

It could boast about all sorts of things, but fell silent on the details.

"If you want to seek refuge with the Three Immortals Sect, you should first find a relative."

The Human Emperor was not surprised. He cast a glance at the memorial, skimming from the first to the last item. In a matter of a few years, the person before him had emerged like a demon, quickly becoming a figure renowned in the Southern Continent.

This was definitely not an orthodox upbringing.

For such people, you either probe their secrets to use them for your own, or you kill them early.

But the Human Emperor chose neither.

This General Nanyang was a meritorious figure of the Divine Dynasty and could not be killed. Yet from the chilling intent in his eyes when confronted with that question, it was clear that he and Shen Yi were not aligned. At least, this young man fundamentally resisted his idea.

This General Nanyang could not accept gambling the lives of the masses.

If they were on differing paths, it was better to separate and avoid mutual disdain.

"Among the Three Pure Ones and Five Emperors, to whom do you have the closest ties?"

"The Three Pure Ones and Five Emperors?"

Shen Yi’s clear eyes lifted.

The Human Emperor’s expression grew complicated, as he licked his lips, "Regarding the Three Religions, excluding True Gods, both remaining sects have figures who have reached the pinnacle."

"The Bodhi Sect has the Three Lives Buddha, with each accompanied by two True Buddhas, each guarding three Sumeru Mountains, totaling nine."

"Similarly, the Three Immortals Sect, besides the Sanqing Sect Leader, has five other Emperors, making a total of eight."

"Why is there one less?" Hearing this, Shen Yi asked curiously. Could there be a disparity in foundation between the two sects?

"Tsk, it’s not really less."

The man rubbed his stubble, "Actually, there are six Emperors, namely the Emperors of the Four Extremes and the Earth Mother..."

"And the other one?" Shen Yi looked over.

The Human Emperor glanced at him, somewhat speechless, "The other one is me."

"..."

Shen Yi was stunned, carefully examining the man before him, who showed no signs of cultivation. He couldn’t associate him with those pinnacle figures.

"That’s why I said Five Emperors."

The man stretched lazily, "The Human Emperor does not cultivate, relying on the Emperor’s Aura to have comparable strength. However, his lifespan is short, like a mayfly, succeeding the last Emperor. By my generation, I gave up and couldn’t be bothered with them."

He pointed to his front tooth, "You don’t think someone knocked this out, do you? It fell out on its own. I’m old and nearly dead."

With the Cultivation of the Six Emperors, repairing a front tooth wouldn’t be hard.

The Human Emperor closed his eyes and leaned lazily against the stones. He wanted to use this tooth to remind himself that he was still human and not an almighty God, Buddha, or Immortal Venerable, and that he would eventually die. Therefore, he needed to finish all his tasks in that brief time, leaving no retreat.

"These seventeen figures represent the inheritance of the world’s Dao."

"What is your Dao Fruit?"

"Divine Void Lineage," Shen Yi responded crisply.

In the current situation, a misstep could lead to death and the end of his path.

The only one who could help him was this Human Emperor before him.

"Let me think... your Dao Fruit should fall under the lineage of Ling Xuzi, a practitioner under the Upper Pure Sect Leader. This Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal isn’t too high nor too low, quite suitable for you to find a place."

The man clearly had a deep understanding of the Three Religions. After a moment of contemplation, he offered an answer, "But your Divine Void Lineage, with an ancestor who was an Insect Demon, has poor roots. Given the prideful stance of the Three Immortals Sect, you might face some discrimination. Since you seek survival, you should curb your temper and it shouldn’t be hard to stay."
