One year, two years, three years...
Spring comes and autumn goes, the sun rises and sets, and ten thousand years pass in the blink of an eye. Just when Yi Shuihan's fellow disciples in the Creation World were about to forget about him, an aura that shook the entire Creation World rose from the depths.
"Where is that? Teacher, is that Junior Brother Thirty-Seven?"
"I remember that Junior Brother Thirty-Seven only broke through to the Chaos Emperor realm not long ago, how come he has broken through again now? This feeling must be that his understanding of the Dao has reached a higher level, the eighth level? No, the eighth level is not this strong, it is the ninth level, but how is this possible?"
"My goodness! This must be the reincarnation of a Great Dao Emperor! Breaking through two levels in ten thousand years! It took me more than ten million years to break through from the seventh level to the eighth level, and a hundred million years to break through to the ninth level. At that time, it was the fastest breakthrough speed in our sect. Compared with the thirty-seventh junior brother, I am simply weak!"
"Even Master didn't reach this speed back then. Could it be that our junior brother has the potential to break through to the Great Dao Emperor realm? Where did Master find such a heaven-defying disciple? This is simply..."
Those who had guessed the truth were shocked by the revelation. They knew Yi Shuihan was very talented when he arrived, but since they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they didn't feel it as deeply. Now, seeing Yi Shuihan's progress right in front of them, they finally had a definite understanding of his talent. They could only describe Yi Shuihan's talent as astonishing.
Chapter 1366, The Popular Yi Shuihan
The extraordinary phenomenon of the breakthrough lasted only a few minutes before it gradually subsided.
The shorter duration of the breakthrough actually made everyone realize how terrifying Yi Shuihan was. It wasn't that the bigger the impact or the longer the duration of the breakthrough, the better.
The short duration of Yi Shuihan's breakthrough phenomenon, from another perspective, proves that his foundation is solid. It was not a forced breakthrough but a result of accumulated strength. Therefore, once he broke through, he was able to quickly control the power of his breakthrough.
Upon completing the breakthrough, Yi Shuihan's first action was to express his gratitude to his master. He knew that without this master, it would have been impossible for him to break through so quickly.
"Thank you for your guidance during this time, Master."
"No need to thank me. You are my disciple, and I am your master. Isn't it only natural for me to teach you? Your breakthrough so quickly is beyond my expectations. It seems I have indeed taken on a good disciple! Hahaha!"
Salama was extremely satisfied with Yi Shuihan. At first, he accepted Yi Shuihan as his disciple simply because he felt they were destined to meet. Yi Shuihan even took the initiative to become his disciple. In fact, in his heart, Yi Shuihan was only a nominal disciple. Only when Yi Shuihan came to see him with the cultivation of a True Saint would he fully acknowledge Yi Shuihan's qualifications.
In fact, before Yi Shuihan broke through to the Chaos Emperor realm, Salama had almost forgotten about taking Yi Shuihan as his disciple. After all, the person he met with Yi Shuihan at that time was just a wisp of his spirit left in the Dragon Ball world.
When Yi Shuihan's name appeared on the stone tablet in the center of Chaos City, Salama was extremely surprised and delighted.
Salama gave Yi Shuihan special tutoring because he wanted to make amends to Yi Shuihan. As Yi Shuihan's master, he had given him far too little help. Yi Shuihan's growth into a Chaos Emperor had virtually nothing to do with Salama. Meanwhile, his other disciples, not to mention becoming Chaos Emperors, had gained far more than Yi Shuihan even as True Saints.
Salama originally intended to teach Yi Shuihan for at least 100 million years, but he never expected that Yi Shuihan would be so talented that he broke through continuously in just 10,000 years, achieving what other Chaos Emperors could not do in 100 million years.
Having reached the ninth level of understanding of the Dao, all that's needed next is a catalyst, a sudden enlightenment. Once Yi Shuihan finds his own Dao, he will be able to break through the first realm and become a Chaos Emperor in the second realm, the Enlightenment Realm.
Given the terrifying talent that Yi Shuihan has shown, Salama has no doubt that Yi Shuihan can reach the Enlightenment Realm. If Yi Shuihan cannot reach the Enlightenment Realm, then no one in the myriad realms can achieve the Enlightenment Realm. Although this is somewhat exaggerated, it also shows that Salama has high hopes for Yi Shuihan.
"I just don't know what his path is; it can't be ordinary, can it?"
Now that Yi Shuihan has comprehended the Dao to the level of the ninth level of the Tower of Babel, Salama's plan needs to be changed. Although he is the Emperor of the Great Dao, he cannot help a Chaos Emperor find his own Dao. This can only be done by himself. At most, he can only share some experience, and even then, he must be careful when sharing it, otherwise it may backfire.
"Here are some pieces of advice from experience. Take a look, but remember that what others say is ultimately their own. Don't try to imitate them deliberately. The truth you need should already be in your heart. You just need to find it."
Salama spoke earnestly. At the same time, Yi Shuihan did not notice that Salama's words had subconsciously created a resistance to imitation in his heart. Salama's intentions were also very good.
"I understand, Master. I will always remember your teachings."
Nodding, Yi Shuihan said earnestly.
After consolidating his cultivation for another month, Yi Shuihan stepped out of the room he hadn't left in ten thousand years and reappeared before his fellow disciples.
......
"Hello, uncle!"
"Uncle Yi, when are you going to preach to us? We can't wait!"
"Grandmaster Uncle, you're so handsome!"
"Thirty-seventh Grandmaster Uncle, why did you cultivate so quickly? Do you have any secrets? Please teach us."
As soon as he appeared, Yi Shuihan was surrounded by greetings and a barrage of questions.
Faced with these enthusiastic juniors, Yi Shuihan was somewhat put on the defensive. At first, he could deal with them casually, but in the end, he simply used some means to "escape" away.
This was not the end. Every time Yi Shuihan appeared after that, it was like an international superstar appearing. As soon as he was spotted, a large group of admirers would quickly gather around him.
Yi Shuihan is so popular for two reasons. First, he has an indescribable talent. Second, he has the strength of a Chaos Emperor, which is enough to guide even True Saints. Of course, this is also related to Yi Shuihan's easygoing nature. When these younger disciples ask him questions, he will answer some of them, and he will not get angry even if he doesn't answer.
If Yi Shuihan had hardened his heart and displayed the majesty of the Chaos Emperor, he wouldn't have been constantly surrounded by onlookers.
Yi Shuihan knew this, but he was still a little reluctant for the time being. He loved his sect very much and was not too averse to being asked questions. Perhaps after a while, he would eventually put on the same authoritative air as his senior brothers and sisters.
It must be said that Yi Shuihan's performance was noticed by his senior brothers and sisters, who secretly nodded in approval, thinking that Yi Shuihan was a very good person.
"Little Red! Is your master here?"
"Ah!? It's the Thirty-Seventh Martial Uncle. Master isn't here. He went to the Seventeenth Martial Uncle's place and won't be back for a few days."
"Is that so? That's perfect, I'll go hide inside, but don't tell me you've seen me."
After saying this, Yi Shuihan flashed into the cave.
"Little Red, have you seen your Thirty-Seventh Martial Uncle?"
"Uncle-Master Chi, have you seen Grandmaster Yi?"
Just seconds after Yi Shuihan entered the cave, dozens of figures appeared in front of Xiao Chi, all of them asking for Yi Shuihan's location.
"My 37th Uncle told me to say that I had never seen him."
Xiao Chi's adorable voice rang out, but his eyes were fixed on the cave. Now everyone knew where Yi Shuihan was, and they immediately rushed towards the cave.
In the end, they still couldn't find Yi Shuihan, not because Yi Shuihan wasn't in the cave, but because...
"I knew Xiao Chi would be exposed, but what can we do? They can't even get into the cave. Not everyone can enter Senior Brother Ye's private cave as easily as I can."
Chapter 1367, The Guest Arrives
Life in the Creation World was exceptionally easy; eight hundred thousand years passed almost imperceptibly.
In these 800,000 years, Yi Shuihan still hasn't broken through the first realm of Chaos Emperor to achieve the second realm of Enlightenment. However, he hasn't made no progress at all. At least for him now, if he really wanted to, he could break through to the second realm at any time.
He already had a complete understanding of how to determine his own path. The reason he wasn't in a hurry to break through was simply because he wanted to find the path that was most suitable for him and the most powerful.
Once you've chosen your path, it's almost impossible to change it. You might be able to choose several paths and walk them simultaneously, but you can't abandon any of them along the way. Only after completing all the paths can you enter the next realm, the Creation Realm.
For a Chaos Emperor who has no hope of achieving the Dao, this is not a problem. However, for someone like Yi Shuihan, who even has the opportunity to become a Great Dao Emperor, determining his own Dao is extremely important and must be approached with utmost care.
Eight hundred thousand years is nothing compared to his future prospects. Eight hundred thousand years is a lot for Yi Shuihan, but it is extremely little for other Chaos Emperors. Among the known Chaos Emperors, which one did not carefully consider for hundreds of millions of years before finally taking this step?
Even those with average talent who barely managed to reach the second realm of Chaos Emperor are the same. There is a saying circulating among the Chaos Emperors of the myriad realms: "One hundred million years is too early, one hundred billion years is not too late, and one hundred billion years is still achievable." This means that the Chaos Emperors use hundreds of millions of years as the unit of time to determine their own Dao.
"Uncle Yi, Uncle Yi, are you there?"
His tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open, and Yi Shuihan's eyes reflected an image of swirling stars before quickly fading and returning to normal.
Standing up and stretching his body, Yi Shuihan slowly walked out of the cave, wondering what had happened.
"Little Red, why are you in such a hurry? Is something important?"
Looking at Meng Xiaochi, who was almost unchanged from 800,000 years ago, Yi Shuihan's thoughts drifted far away.
"Guests have arrived, and my master asked me to go with you to greet them."
"Entertaining customers? Uh!"
Well, this word is indeed easy to misunderstand, and even though Yi Shuihan knew it wasn't what he thought, he still felt slightly embarrassed.
"Uncle-Master, hurry up! Don't keep the guests waiting."
The naive Meng Xiaochi didn't notice Yi Shuihan's embarrassment and urged him on.
"Let's go then, I'll follow!"
One in front and one behind, one small and one large, they moved towards the gate of the void.
While easily following Meng Xiaochi, Yi Shuihan was lost in thought.
"For a bastard emperor like me to go out and greet him means that the guest's identity is not simple. He should at least be at the same level as me, perhaps the first level of Chaos Emperor, or maybe the second level. In any case, he cannot be the third level. As for the Great Dao Emperor, that is even more impossible. If it were the Great Dao Emperor, I, the thirty-seventh disciple, would not be the one to greet him."
On the mountain peak where Yi Shuihan had entered the Creation World, three figures stood quietly, all in human form. One was a middle-aged man, and the other was a young man and woman. Judging from the position of the young man and woman, the middle-aged man was the leader among them.
"Master, you must be mistaken! Why has there been no movement for so long?"
A voice as melodious as a nightingale's song rang out, and the expression of the semi-mature beauty in the pink dress was somewhat displeased.
"That's right, this is it. Xiao Ran, you should learn from your senior brother. You can't even wait this long? Didn't we always teach you to be patient?"
Although it was a reprimand, the loving eyes could not be concealed.
"Senior brother is just as impatient as I am, isn't he, senior brother?"
The girl named Xiao Ran looked at her senior brother with a threatening gaze.
"Yes, yes, junior sister is right."
Knowing that he would not have a good life if he did not do as his junior sister said, Hong Ming had no choice but to compromise.
"Master, my senior brother is the same as me!"
The middle-aged man was both amused and exasperated by his apprentice's childish behavior. He shook his head slightly, about to say something, when he suddenly looked up again.
"coming."
Before the words were finished, ripples appeared in the void, and a golden gate slowly emerged. Then, Meng Xiaochi and Yi Shuihan appeared one after the other in front of the gate.
"This aura... is it from a second-stage Chaos Emperor?"
Yi Shuihan immediately judged the middle-aged man's realm. Over the years in the Creation World, he had become very familiar with so many senior brothers and sisters, and was extremely familiar with the aura of the second realm of the Chaos Emperor. Naturally, he could easily judge the middle-aged man's realm.
In Yi Shuihan's opinion, the Chaos Emperor in front of him was indeed quite powerful. Among his senior brothers and sisters, only two had auras stronger than his, and there was one who was on par with him.
"Little Red, how is your master?"
"Oh! How do you know me?"
Meng Xiaochi's question made the middle-aged man's expression freeze, and also made Yi Shuihan's expression become somewhat strange.
“I remember now, I’ve seen you before, when I went out with Master last time.”
“That’s right. I was also there when your master came to visit our sect last time.”
The atmosphere finally returned to normal.
"I wonder who this is?"
"He is my thirty-seventh martial uncle."
"Just call me Yi Shuihan."
"So it's Fellow Daoist Yi Shuihan, greetings. This old Daoist is Fufeng."
The middle-aged man offered a simple greeting, and Yi Shuihan returned the greeting in kind.
"You two aren't even going to greet him? This man is a Chaos Emperor just like me."
The second half of the sentence was transmitted through sound and was not spoken aloud.
"Junior Hong Ming greets senior."
"Xue Lingran, please give my greetings to the senior."
So young! He seems even younger than me, yet he's a Chaos Emperor. It's unbelievable.
Xue Lingran glanced at Yi Shuihan, feeling somewhat dazed.
Chapter 1368, Promotion Celebration
Noticing Xue Lingran and Hong Ming's furtive glances, Yi Shuihan smiled slightly, then waved his hand and took out two top-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasures, a sword and a saber, radiating astonishing light.
"Fellow Taoist, what is this?"
"It's nothing. As a senior, it's only natural to give a junior a small gift when you meet them, isn't it?"
As he spoke, he threw the magic weapon at Xue Lingran and Mo Ming.
Looking at the magical treasure floating in front of her, Xue Lingran was very excited. This was a top-grade Chaos Magical Treasure. You have to know that what she was using now was only a mid-grade one. Originally, she also wanted to have a top-grade Chaos Magical Treasure, but she had been begging her master for a long time without success.
As a powerful figure at the second level of the Chaos Emperor realm, Fu Feng naturally wouldn't be unable to produce a high-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure. For him, even a top-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure could be easily produced. He has never given his disciple a high-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure before, which is also due to special considerations.
Xue Lingran is only a True Saint, and she hasn't been a True Saint for very long. A mid-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure is just right for her. Using a high-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure would not only prevent her from unleashing its power, but would also attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives.
Fu Feng had explained this principle to his disciples more than once, so Xue Lingran understood it as well. Therefore, no matter how excited she was, Xue Lingran did not accept the spiritual treasure immediately. She first expressed her gratitude to Yi Shuihan, and then looked pitifully at her master.
Fu Feng was speechless at the look from his precious disciple. He finally sighed and said, "Fine, since it's a gift from you, fellow Daoist, you can accept it. But make it clear first, you must hide it well after accepting it, and you are not allowed to use it unless absolutely necessary when you go out."
"Yay! Master is the best, I will definitely hide it well."
She snatched the magical treasure as if it were a snatch, and looking at the shimmering treasure in her hand, Xue Lingran smiled broadly.
Although Hong Ming wasn't as exaggerated as Xue Lingran, it was easy to tell that he was in a good mood.
"This is a defensive spirit tablet that I, an old Taoist priest, crafted in my spare time. It can withstand a full-force attack from a first-stage Chaos Emperor."
