Unfortunately, he had abandoned the Devouring Dao and switched to the Great Desolate Dao.Embark on a journey to the beginning at n0v#lbin★
Moreover, he controlled the Great Desolate Wilderness’s Heavenly Dao. Now, he could not convert the origin source at all. He could only walk down the path to the end. However, he believed that since there was a holy land in the Qishen Temple that was suitable for cultivating the Devouring Dao, there must be a holy land that cultivated the Desolate Dao.
If his thoughts were known to True Spirit, he would probably be left speechless.
The Demon Mountain stood tall, its height reaching billions of feet, yet the road leading up was visible in a single glance, spanning a mere 10,000 feet in length.
The ability to shrink space to inches was common within the Qishen Temple, but to outsiders, it was a powerful technique, The distance from the foot of the mountain to the summit was 10,000 feet, and halfway up, it was 5,000 feet.
However, now, over 1,000 tier 1 emperors had come to a halt. They could only walk about a hundred feet before they could go no further, forcing them to sit cross-legged in the distance for cultivation.
Although it was only 100 feet away, cultivating here was much stronger than outside, and there was also the origin source at the mountain’s peak for them to comprehend. Such a sanctuary didn’t exist in the Original Universe. Even if there were places like this in the River of Time and Space, tier 1 Emperors like them would never have the chance to cultivate here.
Although their paths had reached an end, with the blessings of this place, breaking through and reaching new heights was not impossible.bender
Taking another step on the existing path meant entering a new realm, upgrading a fifth-grade Dao to a fourth-grade level. Though the process was as arduous as merging Daos, no one in the outer realms had ever achieved this. Yet here, it was possible.
Although the tier 2 Emperors had traveled farther than them, the difficulties they faced in advancement remained significant.
The first 500 feet already proved difficult for thousands of Emperors. In the Original Universe, the powerful Emperors were mostly tier 1 and 2, with the remaining half being tier 3 and 4.
As for tier 5 emperors, there were over 100 of them accumulated from ancient times till now.
Most of them had ventured into the external timelines of the River of Time and Space. Many tier 5 Emperors had only been tier 4 when they left; they had broken through to become tier 5 Emperors and never returned.
Within the Original Universe, only ten tier 5 Emperors remained, some having established their own forces, while others left behind legacies.
They would return from time to time, but the other Tier 5 Imperial Emperors never returned.
In this outing of the Qishen Temple, they feared that they would all return. The Emperors, powerful beings, could observe their homeworlds through the origin source.
The mountain imposed pressure on them not to hinder their progress but to penetrate their very essence.
He had a premonition: stepping onto the mountaintop meant carrying the entire demonic mountain on one’s back.
This was true freedom, true opportunity.
Carrying a mountain was incomparably more challenging than climbing over one.
After grasping this insight, Wuliang Buddha became patient. According to his calculations, a tier 3 Emperor would be able to step out a distance of 3,000 feet at most. But now, considering his state of mind and origin source, that was not nearly enough for him. He aimed to carry the entire Demon Sound
Mountain.
If True Spirit were aware of this idea, he might consider opening a back door and recruiting this talent into the Qishen Temple prematurely.
“Hu!rr
“Old Baldy, why have you been following me!” Zhen Wuyang exhaled deeply, glaring back at Tongtian Buddha, his irritation evident.
This guy had been tailing him ever since they ascended the Demon Sound Mountain. He stayed exactly one battle away from him, neither falling behind nor overtaking.
“Kind Sir Zhen Wuyang, we were once neighbors; it’s only natural that we should stick close!” Tongtian Buddha squinted his eyes, his smile sly and smooth, an expression that could easily repulse others.
But Zhen Wuyang had seen his methods; he was clearly not buying it. This old baldy was the sort who would eat people and not leave a single bone. If Zhen Wuyang believed him, he might end up dead without even knowing how it happened.
Looking back at Liu Yan, this was the fate of those who collaborated with
Tongtian Buddha. If it weren’t for a few good words he spoke for her with Demon Lord Fengyu, she would still be suppressed under the Eternal Tower!
The once dominant Liu Ya and Daogong, now only Liu Yan survived.
“Don’t forget, you and 1 belong to different factions. Aren’t you afraid Chishui will come after you?” Zhen Wuyang sneered.
But Tongtian Buddha remained unfazed. He followed in Zhen Wuyangs footsteps and calmly said, ‘Chishui and I aren’t that close.. We’ve been neighbors for billions of years, after all!”
