Chapter 267 Sense of Urgency
The original star field.
Feng Xi opened his eyes and felt his current state.
Two thousand years have passed, and he has digested his last insight. In his sea of consciousness, his divine sense once again touches the Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit.
In an instant, that splitting headache appeared again, along with a large amount of information, including scriptures and cultivation insights related to the Immortal Emperor level.
The amount of information is so huge that even a quasi-immortal emperor feels as if he is overloaded at this moment.
At this moment, Feng Xi felt that his own cultivation was growing rapidly. Once he digested what he had gained this time, he would make obvious progress.
Feng Xi himself was actually very satisfied with this speed. After all, it was exaggerated that a process was given and as long as the experience bar was filled up, one could break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.
From ancient times to the present, which Immortal Emperor did not break through after surviving many dangerous situations? If you cannot comprehend this level, then even if you spend countless epochs, you will not be able to break through.
If it is really that easy to break through to become an Immortal Emperor, then from the beginning of the world to now, I am afraid that countless Immortal Emperors would have accumulated.
But in fact, because the time is too long, no one knows how many eras have passed since the beginning of creation, but nowadays, there may be only dozens of Immortal Emperors at most.
The number of Quasi-Immortal Emperors is probably thousands of times that of Immortal Emperors. These creatures have reached the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperors, but without exception, they are stuck at this threshold.
Are these people not talented?
Those who can cultivate all the way to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor are all extremely talented, but even so, they are still stuck at the threshold of Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
Strictly speaking, the reason why the Immortal Emperors of the Weird Clan were able to break through was because of themselves or the plateau. There is too much water in this.
From this perspective, there are actually even fewer people who can break through to become an Immortal Emperor entirely on their own. The leap from a quasi-Immortal Emperor to the ultimate realm of an Immortal Emperor is extremely difficult.
By making this comparison, you can see how easy it is for Feng Xi to break through to the Immortal Emperor.
He now possesses the Dao Fruit of the Immortal Emperor. As long as he continues to digest the power of the Dao Fruit, he can directly and naturally break through to the realm of the Immortal Emperor.
The reason why he could practice so easily must be that the Dao Fruit in the strange space was a very important part.
But there is one thing that is very strange now. After Feng Xi obtained the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit, that space did not change much.
At this moment, that piece of space was empty. The fruits of the sacrifice were not displayed in that space. No one knew why.
However, Feng Xi didn't care about this. Now, even without the strange space, Feng Xi was confident that he could reach the top on his own.
It would be best if he had it, but if not, he wouldn’t worry about it.
If he was still weak, Feng Xi might not be able to bear it, but this journey of practice is also a way to refine his mind.
Time passed quickly. Feng Xi would realize the fruit of the Immortal Emperor's Dao once every two thousand years. Soon, a hundred thousand years had passed.
During this period, the boundary sea was not peaceful. Almost every thousands to tens of thousands of years, a strong storm would blow up there. Mixed in the storm were runes of the quasi-immortal emperor level. Even if the Immortal King was just a little bit contaminated, he would die directly.
Even if the Butcher and others faced that kind of storm, they could only resist for a moment. If they did not leave the storm before their own quasi-immortal emperor glory dissipated, they would be strangled by the runes in it.
When the one hundred thousand year deadline was up, Liu Shen and Shi Hao took over, and for the next one hundred thousand years, it would be Shi Hao's turn to be stationed there.
In the original star field, after returning here, God Liu went straight to Feng Xi and asked him about the doubts that had accumulated over the years.
In this regard, Feng Xi did not hide anything and told everyone what happened at the end of the sea boundary, including that there was a real emperor there!
“It turns out that the changes in the sea of boundaries are really related to the Emperor!” In fact, God Liu was not too surprised about this. After all, the ability to turn the entire sea of boundaries upside down and stir up a storm is an ability that only a quasi-immortal emperor can withstand. Only the Emperor can do it.
"I guess that person's condition is not very good, otherwise, he would have ruled the world long ago." Feng Xi said.
“But what kind of existence could trap an emperor in one place?” God Liu was very confused.
In fact, Liu Shen herself had guessed what Feng Xi said, but she didn't dare to be sure, as she said, what could trap an emperor there.
This is something very difficult to imagine. The Immortal Emperor is supreme, and there should be no enemies at that level.
"Or maybe it was him himself." Feng Xi said.
Hearing this, Liu Shen was suddenly alert. She did not find this funny. On the contrary, she thought a lot.
Indeed, the Immortal Emperor will have no enemies, but sometimes, the enemy will often be himself.
"You mean, he trapped himself, but why did he do that?" asked Willow God curiously.
Why should a person trap himself when he is fine?
"Imagine carefully. No one can trap an Immortal Emperor unless he himself. Suppose, the Immortal Emperor fell into darkness due to an accident, and in order to prevent himself from bringing disaster to the heavens, he chose to seal himself." Feng Xi guided.
boom!
Liu Shen suddenly felt enlightened. If this was true, then everything seemed to make sense.
Because apart from this, she really couldn't figure out who else could trap an Immortal Emperor.
You must know that trapping an Immortal Emperor is actually more difficult than killing him.
There is no being in the heavens that can kill the Immortal Emperor, and naturally, there is no one who can trap him.
Therefore, the most likely possibility is that he trapped himself.
There must be a reason why he did this. He fell into darkness and did not want to bring disaster to the world, so he chose to seal himself. This statement also makes sense.
As for why an Immortal Emperor would fall, God Liu did not ask this question, because before understanding the development of everything, the answer is just a guess.
After understanding everything clearly, Liu Shen left. She also had to go into seclusion. Although it was very tiring to resist the dark storm during this period, she actually gained some enlightenment.
In the dark storm, there is a terrifying power, mixed with some fragmentary scriptures. Those are scriptures of the Immortal Emperor level, used to attract practitioners to the end of the Sea of Boundary.
It can be said that no one can resist this temptation, just like the old man who destroyed the world. He probably captured this scripture at the beginning, and then followed the scripture to find the whole scripture.
During these 100,000 miles, Willow God resisted about ten dark storms and captured some fragments of scriptures. The Immortal Emperor scriptures really gave her a lot of inspiration, so Willow God decided to retreat and digest them. After Willow God left, Feng Xi continued to practice. After these 100,000 years, his grasp of the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit has improved a lot, almost close to 5%.
Although his understanding of the Immortal Emperor realm cannot improve his basic combat power, the upper limit of his combat power is definitely much stronger now.
However, these are only quantitative changes. He has become stronger, but it is also extremely limited. Compared with the past years, when there were qualitative changes every once in a while, his current progress is still too slow.
Fortunately, he still has time. Just as he had previously speculated, as long as he does not bring the rotten wooden box containing the Corpse Immortal Emperor's soul to the Ultimate Ancient Land, he can greatly delay the Corpse Immortal Emperor from breaking free from the seal.
Moreover, they are now guarding outside the dam, and are doing a good job in preventing the Corpse Immortal Emperor from plundering the essence of the heavens.
Without the replenishment of his vital energy, the Corpse Immortal Emperor's recovery speed would be slowed down again for a long time, which would undoubtedly take a very long time.
So just looking at the time now, they do have a lot of time.
But we cannot completely relax our vigilance. During this period, Feng Xi has also been paying attention to the situation on the dam.
When the God Willow was stationed there, the storms that blew up from the Sea of Boundary to the Heavens occurred about once every ten thousand years. However, when Shi Hao was stationed there, the frequency of the storms became faster, occurring almost once every seven thousand years.
When the God of Willow was stationed there, there were a total of twelve dark storms, but after Shi Hao had been stationed there for a hundred thousand years, the number of storms increased suddenly to fifteen.
And in the last ten thousand years, the frequency became almost once every five thousand years.
It can be seen from the side that the Corpse Immortal Emperor is also slowly recovering over time.
If things go on like this, even without the pure soul in the rotten wooden box, the Corpse Immortal Emperor will be revived and come back.
Dam.
Feng Xi and Shi Hao completed the rotation of guards, and he will be stationed here for the next 100,000 years.
boom!
Five thousand years after Feng Xi came here, a dark storm swept in from the sea of boundary. It was extremely violent, and there was an imperial majesty in it.
Faced with such a storm, even a quasi-immortal emperor would have to try his best to resist it.
But for Feng Xi, a storm of this magnitude was nothing. He did not move. Tiandi Chi just rushed forward and transformed into a stone tablet to press on the embankment, thus blocking this dark storm.
The ancient stone tablet stood on the sea boundary, and endless symbols emerged from the stone tablet, each of which was like a leaping flame, emitting blazing flames.
Feng Xi looked at the boundary sea. Because of the raging dark storm, the black sea water had lost its previous calmness. The broken boundary in the sea water was like sand in the ocean, constantly rising and falling.
The boundary sea is endless, and the deeper you go, the darker it becomes. Especially as the Corpse Immortal Emperor breathes more and more frequently, the already dark boundary sea becomes even more terrifying.
In the past, even true immortals could go to the Sea of Boundaries, and if they were lucky and did not encounter any danger, they could come out alive.
But it is no longer possible now. Not to mention true immortals, even quasi-immortal kings, as long as they enter the sea boundary, a gust of dark breeze might be enough to kill them.
Now, only the Immortal King can go out to sea, and safety cannot be guaranteed.
However, no one dares to go out to sea now. After the great battle between the quasi-immortal emperors in the Sea of Boundary, the ripples of the laws there have not yet completely calmed down. At this time, even the supreme giants are unwilling to set foot there.
Of course, even if there are creatures that are really not afraid of death and want to go out to sea, Feng Xi will not allow it. He is already preventing the Corpse Immortal Emperor from obtaining essence. If an Immortal King goes out to sea, wouldn't that be sending him to be enjoyed by the Corpse Immortal Emperor?
Why did the dark storm cross the dam and blow towards the heavens? Wasn't it to plunder the essence?
Fortunately, Feng Xi reacted in time, otherwise the first wave of dark storm would have spread over the dam and entered the heavens. By then, even if they reacted quickly, many large realms would have been destroyed. At that time, endless essence would have been plundered, and the recovery speed of the Corpse Immortal Emperor would have been even faster.
"Once every four thousand years. It's getting more and more frequent!"
On the embankment, Feng Xi opened his eyes, looked at the storm that was blowing in from the boundary sea again, and sighed softly.
This was the 100,000th year that he had been stationed here, and it had only been four thousand years since the last dark storm.
"The time is shortened again. It seems that even if we don't go, with the Corpse Immortal Emperor's recovery speed, he will soon wake up completely and won't be delayed for long." Feng Xi felt a little anxious.
Originally, he thought that as long as they didn't seek death by taking the rotten wooden box to the Ultimate Ancient Land, without the blessing of the pure primordial spirit, it would take a long time for the Corpse Immortal Emperor to break free from the seal.
But the facts have proved that Feng Xi still underestimated the power of an Immortal Emperor. Now that the other party has embarked on the road of recovery, even if there is no other part of his soul, it can at most allow him to recover for a longer period of time. It is impossible to delay it or even trap him permanently.
But it’s okay like this now. At least, I can buy myself some time.
And now, he has comprehended nearly one tenth of the Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit. At this point, the power of the Immortal Emperor realm has already begun to open the door to him.
That realm was no longer a mystery to him, and the tightly closed door had already opened a crack for him.
"Give me a little more time. As long as I comprehend 30% of the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit, I will be able to successfully impact the Immortal Emperor realm."
Feng Xi felt a little anxious. He still needed some time. It was no longer possible to comprehend everything and then achieve the realm of Immortal Emperor naturally. Time simply did not allow it.
But as long as he can comprehend 30%, he will be confident that he can force his way into the Immortal Emperor realm.
When the period of one hundred thousand years was up, Willow God came to the dam. Because the dark storm had just ended, as soon as Willow God arrived here, his bright eyes stared at the dark boundary sea.
"How often does it come now?" asked Willow God curiously.
Although she had not been in charge of the Sea Boundary for the past 200,000 years, she guessed that the dark storm would arrive sooner or later.
Feng Xi nodded: "About four thousand years."
"It's already so fast?!" Willow God was a little shocked. When she was guarding it, it would come once every ten thousand years or so. Now it's only two hundred thousand years, and it has doubled.
"Let's fight for as much as we can. I've already seen the threshold to the Immortal Emperor realm. Give me some more time." Feng Xi said.
Willow God's eyes lit up, and he said with some joy: "You have reached this point."
Such speed made Liu Shen both surprised and happy. Even though she knew Feng Xi's cultivation speed, she was still shocked to hear that Feng Xi had already reached the threshold of the Immortal Emperor.
