After leaving the Trial Tower, Xiao Chen immediately headed for Fiend Cloud Hall.
Lu Benwei showed a faint smile. He had been waiting for a long time already. When he saw Xiao Chen arrive, he performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "How do you feel about soaring up and becoming a Sovereign Emperor?"
Xiao Chen thought for a while before replying seriously, "At first, I was very excited. When I looked at the entire Paradise, I could clearly feel how insignificant the others were. However, after I left Paradise and saw a group of Faux God powerhouses, I no longer felt anything. "
"Hahahaha!"
Lu Benwei could not help guffawing when he heard that. Xiao Chen's answer was rather interesting.
However, when he thought about it, he found that to be true. This was the Faux God World. The Faux Gods that one could not meet in the Great Thousand Realms were all gathered here. No matter what kind of accomplishments one had, one would not be able to feel proud.
Xiao Chen spoke honestly. The instant he advanced to Sovereign Emperor on the God Conferring Platform, he had felt hot-bloodedness surge in his body.
It was like he had gained a new life. Gu Yuhan and the other three, who were originally strong opponents, were not worth mentioning in his eyes.
Only when one truly became a Sovereign Emperor would one understand the difference between a false Emperor and a true Sovereign Emperor.
After leaving Paradise, the group of Faux Gods looked around. This was especially so for Senior Jin, who held a high seniority. Hence, they did not have any other thoughts.
Now that Xiao Chen arrived at Fiend Cloud Hall, his mental state had completely calmed down.
Xiao Chen thought about how many obstacles he had faced on his path to becoming a Martial Emperor in the Kunlun Realm. He had experienced too much and could already remain calm when facing anything.
"I'm here to say goodbye, First Senior Brother."
Xiao Chen looked at Lu Benwei. After thinking for a while, he said, "First Senior Brother."
Lu Benwei appeared slightly stunned. Then, he asked softly, "What did you call me?"
"First Senior Brother. Although I did not become Senior Fiendish Saber's disciple, we have been together for five years. Although we are not master and disciple in name, our relationship has already surpassed that of ordinary master and disciple. Whether Senior Fiendish Saber recognizes me as his disciple or not, he is my master in my heart. "
In three days, he would be leaving the Faux God World. There were some things that he would not have the chance to say if he did not say them now.
Lu Benwei was quite pleased in his heart. He patted Xiao Chen's shoulder and said, "It's good that you have the heart. I have always treated you as my Junior Brother. Come, follow me to see Master. He should see you."
"Yes."
It was as Lu Benwei said. This time, Fiendish Saber Xi Mu did not avoid Xiao Chen.
Thump!
When Xiao Chen saw Xi Mu seated above, he immediately knelt without saying anything. "This junior Xiao Chen will be leaving this Faux God World soon. I will never forget Senior Fiendish Saber's various favors."
Not to mention how much guidance he had given to Xiao Chen in the past five years.
Just the life-saving grace a few days ago was enough for Xiao Chen to kneel. Towards this eccentric senior, Xiao Chen's heart had always been filled with awe and respect.
This was especially so after Xiao Chen learned that Xi Mu came from a Noble Clan of Swordsmen but chose the Saber Dao.
Xi Mu's expression was clearly stunned for a moment. However, he quickly recovered and said coldly, "I'm not your master or your parents. What is there to kneel for?"
"Whoosh!"
Right after Xi Mu spoke, he lifted Xiao Chen up with a palm strike, not letting him continue kneeling.
Lu Benwei smiled and said, "Master, I have worked hard for you. In this Trial of True God Paradise, I managed to do my best. Xiao Chen was in the limelight this time, occupying seven lamps on the God Conferring Platform. This was unprecedented. Many Faux Gods were stunned. This time, I am here to say goodbye to you. "
Xi Mu retorted with a serious expression, "What work? If I go out wrapped in a bedsheet, who knows how many people will laugh at me … I'm leaving? "
Xi Mu spoke halfway when he suddenly thought of something. He revealed a melancholic expression and turned to leave. Before he left, he said, "Stay in Fiend Cloud Hall for the next three days. Don't go anywhere else."
Xiao Chen found this somewhat strange. He still had some friends in the Faux God World. It did not seem appropriate for him to stay in Fiend Cloud Hall for the last three days.
Xiao Chen could not help glancing at Lu Benwei, hoping that the other party would say something. Who knew, Lu Benwei smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, just stay here. If you want to meet anyone, I'll bring them over."
Since Lu Benwei already said that, Xiao Chen could not rebut, so he nodded slightly.
The two chatted for a while. Then, Lu Benwei imparted many of his Sovereign Emperor cultivation experiences to Xiao Chen.
Sovereign Emperor was just a title, not a realm. The true realm was the Divine Vein Realm. However, everyone had always referred to it as Divine Vein Realm Sovereign Emperor. Now, the two meant the same thing.
After Transcending Mortality, there were three major realms: Veritable Personage, Primal Core, and Cloud Sea. Each realm had three stages. At the Cloud Sea Realm, there were Star Venerate, Holy Venerate, and Sovereign Personage.
However, be it Star Venerate, Holy Venerate, or Sovereign Personage, they were all in the Cloud Sea Realm.
Above the Cloud Sea Realm was the Divine Vein Realm. Above the Divine Vein Realm was the supreme Faux God Realm.
After crossing the Cloud Sea Realm, one would be considered to have broken through the limits of cultivation. When one reached the Divine Vein Realm, one would start cultivating the soul.
The physical body was ordinary. There were twelve meridians, twelve meridians, twelve tendons, and so on, forming the major cycle and minor cycle. The meridians ran through the entire body. Veritable Essence Energy and Spiritual Energy flowed through the meridians, forming the foundation of cultivation.
However, after crossing the Cloud Sea Realm and transcending mortality and entering Sage Realm, the physical body would undergo a rebirth. It would become an extraordinary body, the Golden Emperor Body.
When cultivating now, one had to open Divine Veins. When one opened all nine Divine Veins, one would reach Great Perfection in the Golden Emperor Body. One would have an undying body.
This undying body could be reborn from just a drop of blood. Even if one's physical body was destroyed, one could reform it with just a drop of blood.
Such an opportunity was already beyond the imagination of ordinary people. That was why Sovereign Emperors were so horrifying.
"After reaching the Divine Vein Realm, we can no longer be called humans?" Lu Benwei asked seriously to Xiao Chen. "However, we are not gods. Divine Vein Realm Sovereign Emperors are existences that exist between gods and humans."
At first, Xiao Chen felt that these words sounded strange. How could anyone say that they were not human?
However, after thinking about it carefully, how could anyone be reborn from just a drop of blood? How could one survive even after their head and heart were chopped off?
"There is a total of nine stages in the Sovereign Emperor Realm. One Divine Vein is one stage. With every additional Divine Vein, the Divine Energy one can condense and the comprehension of the Dao will deepen significantly. If one gathers all nine Divine Veins, one can be called a demigod. Such a person can be called a god just short of igniting the divine flame. "
In reality, one could only be called a Faux God. However, in this Martial Epoch, Faux God was already the peak. It would not be wrong to call one a god.
Lu Benwei continued, "After reaching the Sovereign Emperor Realm, one has to forget all the Cultivation Techniques one cultivated in the past. Divine Energy is not something that one can easily drive and refine using one's Cultivation Techniques. Divine Vein Realm Cultivation Techniques are extremely rare. However, now that you are in the Heavenly Alliance, you will not lack them. "
Xiao Chen listened quietly, not interrupting. Occasionally, he would make note of his doubts in his heart.
After Lu Benwei finished, Xiao Chen voiced the questions in his heart, and Lu Benwei answered them one by one.
This conversation lasted for a long time before Xiao Chen returned to his residence in Fiend Cloud Palace.
The Purple Thunder Divine Incantation can no longer help me cultivate. However, I have the Ten Thousand Dragons Art, so I do not need to seek help from the Heavenly Alliance. The Ten Thousand Dragons Art was a Cultivation Technique of the Dragon Race that had been passed down since the Great Desolate Eon. After many epochs, it had been continuously improved.
"Starting today, I will formally cultivate the Ten Thousand Dragons Art. I have to quickly condense a Divine Vein."
Although Xiao Chen was already a Sovereign Emperor, he had not opened a Divine Vein yet. According to Lu Benwei, he was only an early-stage Sovereign Emperor.
Xiao Chen had already converted all his Veritable Essence Energy into Divine Energy. He was no longer like a false Emperor, who needed to condense Divine Energy before he could use it.
Sitting down cross-legged, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and sensed his body. The 9-Star Primal Core in his dantian had already shattered, turning into a golden sea. There seemed to be a heart beating strongly under the sea. A vast lifeforce poured into Xiao Chen's body.
Divine Energy Sea!
The golden Divine Energy turned into a vast sea. When his consciousness entered, Xiao Chen stood in it.
As Xiao Chen walked on the sea, ripples appeared. Immediately, dignified Buddhist chants and ethereal immortal music appeared. All sorts of mysterious phenomena appeared with the ripples. However, Xiao Chen entered deep thought. When he looked up, he saw a vast sea above him.
However, that sea was pitch-black like ink. The black sea was filled with a tyrannical will to consume.
With a thought, the world turned upside down. The place where Xiao Chen's consciousness stood turned into a pitch-black Divine Energy Sea. When he looked up, he saw a golden Divine Energy Sea.
At the God Conferring Platform, Xiao Chen had chosen the Primal Chaos Divine Bridge. Now that he was a Sovereign Emperor, he actually had two Divine Energy Seas.
This resolved Xiao Chen's worries. In the future, even if he cultivated a Demonic Dao Cultivation Technique, as long as he did not want to, no one would be able to see his black Divine Energy Sea.
The two Divine Energy Seas were one and also not one. Xiao Chen could not understand the mysteries behind them.
Immortal and Buddha dual cultivation, divine and demonic as one.
Xiao Chen did not know what the future would be like. After all, this was a path that no one had taken before.
