Chapter 270 - Emperor!
Unsurprisingly, the memories provided by the Demon Lord and his previous life had over countless techniques and methods that focus on gruesome and brutal. He finds some of them interesting to refine and change to his liking.
It would prove useful when trying to give as much suffering to his enemies. The Supreme body that the Demon Lord gains after using the Spiritual Constellation we're absorbed into his physical soul rather than his body.
This gave his Physical Soul an additional layer of power that can be compared to his real body. Being Deity rank made the Supreme body more powerful condensing his soul by a hundred thousand folds that alone could compete with Supreme rank.
He smirked while heading the upper floors until arriving in an illusionary realm where everything was clear water reflecting the azure sky.
It was nothing to him when his eyes could see the difference between real and illusion. He steps inside slightly amazed at the tranquility of the place.
Resting on the floor, Caelum began to recite his Sacred Scripture spreading the resonating insight through his body then added the Ten Words Maxim resulting in the cycle of life and death to continue.
He had yet enlightened what true death and life feel like. Caelum understood the importance of experiencing rebirth to help him increase his insight.
The time where he made his into a baby back from Black Clover verse was for him to get used to another as an entity that came from another world is nearly impossible to survive as an adult.
This helped him understand the duality yet it was far from perfect. The need for a true rebirth was vital for him to grow and learn more about the cycle.
It might show that his being senile when his strength nearly has no equal but to him, this is only the beginning with no end.
The black flame in the floor of the tower began to seep into his flesh and soul ignoring it letting it flow like a stream of water.
"Hahaha who would have thought I would find a suitable body! Come and begin mine!"
Caelum already knew someone was on the floor. This person is the residual soul, one of Kong Ming's successors, and was killed by the old man that he had devoured.
It tried to enter his soul realm easily and easily flip through and overjoyed how simple it was but before he could begin his goal witnessed the soul realm shocking to the core.
Everything was vast where each Demon Spirit was comparable to a mountain that weighed itself into his soul. At the center of it all was the soul of a person then moments later felt its body burning.
"W-What's going on! I-I can't die now!"
He tried to escape and like the rest that came before him instantly devoured by Caelum that inwardly laughed. Nothing remained from the residual soul gaining the memory and knowledge along with their Soil forces.
However, it was not enough and nothing more than a drop in his vast ocean of soul. Ignoring the pest that tried to take his body, focusing on uncovering the mystery of the sacred scripture until a spatial distortion occurred, sending the few of the people in the tower to be sent to a particular garden.
Everyone was confused and distraught while the Caelum group remained indifferent, already getting used to when their lover always distorted space.
Then changed expressions when they noticed the Ambassador's presence went to them but halted when they were in front of Caelum.
"Senior our patriarch had agreed to freely visit each sect and gladly accept your presence."
They ignore the shock of the people around them showing their respect to Caelum. He was pleased that they had agreed and nodded.
"That's good to hear. Well, why don't you continue your assessment since these are the people I brought."
The master of the Netherrealm nodded before proceeding to introduce himself along with the basics of Draconic Ruins Realm.
All of them grew excited from the newfound insight before the ambassador began choosing disciples. Xiao Xue, Ye Ziyun, and Xiao Ning'er went with Ling Yun while Sikong Hongyue, Huyan Lanrou, and Yun Ling went to Divine Feather Sect.
Duan Jian went like the canon but did mind and only wanted to refine himself even further to be of use to his master.
That concluded the disciple selection and they were given a few months to stay with their family. Caelum gave a nod and gave a glance to Xiao Yu who only failed in trying to hide her blush.
Heading back to Glory City spending the remaining months with their friends and family while Caelum decided to break through the realm of the Emperor.
Entering his Sea of Consciousness started to circulate the energy around him where a vortex absorbed the Heavenly Energy trapped within his Sea of Consciousness.
The perfect unification of his three aspects only boosts his cultivation further and further-reaching higher and higher. Deep within his soul realm, the Demon Spirit roared from the sensation.
They were god-level growth and Primordial Bloodline only proved their ability where it grew faster and faster reaching the peak of dirty rank.
The absorbed Heavenly energy seeps through the temporal vine resulting in the flower from the branches to blossom releasing particular dust.
This mere dust shook his whole Soul realm expanding at an alarming rate finally the sound of crack could be heard as the soul turned into someone akin to a soul of god.
At that moment, Caelum reached the level of not only the emperor but the supreme rank surpassing his initial thoughts. His body was shrouded in a mystifying aura that drew everything in as if he was the apex of everything.
He stood up observing everything, seeing the soul more clearly, realizing how a soul is the root of all emotions and desires.
It is fundamentally connected to the Six Desires and Seven Emotions. This made him learn that the path of Buddhism and its philosophy is rooted in the soul while Daoism is rooted in the self and the world.
The Six Desires are known as Lust, Vanity, Dignity, Pleasant Sounds and Good Life/Death while Seven Emotions are Joy, Anger, Grief, Worry, Fear, Sentiments, and Affection.
He took a deep breath reciting a few of the Buddhist sutras and instantly made his soul in the state of Anatta (not-self). Caelum's sensation became dull yet sharp removing unnecessary thoughts took his hand summoning a blade then took a stance.
His body flicker appeared a few hundred meters away from where he was piercing through something. Outside his Sea of Consciousness, in the nether realm where the demon lord based was located the people fell like flies and no one knew what happened only felt their hearts were pierced.
Coming back to his senses, Caelum realized the importance of understanding his emotions and desires. Though, he did not plan on leaving his wives to be left alone.
Spending a few more years inside the Sea of Consciousness before heading to the outside and beginning their journey to the sect.
"Congratulations for reaching the Heavenly Star Realm."
Caelum noticed the nether realm master aura had thickened, breaking through his preview realm. This was all the work of his pills that were mysterious grade.
"It is all thanks to seniors that I can protect this tiny world."
"No problem but it is also your talent and character. Now, who will be the one guiding us?"
"That will be me. I'll be the one guiding you to the Divine feather sect."
Xiao Yu spoke where Caelum noticed her aroma and understood she was trying to charm him. He glances at Ming Fei who had a proud fatherly smile then at Ling Yun.
'Take care of them.'
Ling Yun flinched slightly before turning to him and nodded as they began to fly, receiving a wave from his three women. Though, he knew that they were capable of protecting themselves and wanted to make sure.
"Alright, let's go!"
Nodding opened the gateway leading to the Draconic Ruin realm that upon arriving already began to feel the thinker's heavenly energy in the surroundings.
Caelum used his Divine sense to reach the edge, finding a few interesting places before following Xiao Yu to the Divine Feather Sect.
'I'll check those places later. For now let's see what this sect has to offer.'
