The ancient Nuwa and Chiyou had actually seized the opportunity to escape...
Mingzhi Tian was stunned: "A Great God just... ran away like that?"
The Eternal Emperor put away the Soul Soul Artifact: "A mere one hundred and twenty-three heavens of the Floating Void Realm are nothing but ants before this Emperor."
"What?!" Mingzhi Tian was terrified: "Floating Void Realm? And one hundred and twenty-three heavens? Isn't the highest only ten heavens?"
The Eternal Emperor glanced at him with disdain: "This Emperor forgives your ignorance. The higher you go, the higher the realm requirement. Of course, there are exceptions, like that monster just now, whose Floating Void Realm reached the divine realm of infinity."
Mingzhi Tian was confused: "What is the divine realm?"
The Eternal Emperor enlightened him: "The divine realm is not just the end of the Floating Void Realm. It can range from one heaven to ten thousand heavens. There are also the Hundred Heavens of the Supreme Emperor Realm, the Hundred Heavens of the Great Wheel King Realm, and so on. All things are possible, as long as you can comprehend the divine realm."
Mingzhi Tian suddenly became interested: "Then what about the Divine Emperor Realm? Can it also be cultivated to a hundred heavens without breaking through to the Supreme Emperor Realm?"
The Eternal Emperor looked at him and uttered four words: "Absolutely impossible."
"Oh." Mingzhi Tian was a little disappointed, because he knew clearly that the "divine realm" mentioned by the Eternal Emperor was similar to the Myriad Heavens Gate that Mingzhi Tian had mastered as a martial cultivator, which had increased his Divine Might Realm to twenty levels.
However, since stepping into the Divine Emperor Realm, the low-level Myriad Heavens Gate cultivation method had become useless.
The Eternal Emperor gazed ahead, without even releasing his divine sense: "This Emperor senses a magical artifact infinitely close to a divine artifact ahead. Go and retrieve it; it will be of help to you."
Mingzhi Tian was stunned: "Why can't I sense it?"
The Eternal Emperor became even more disdainful: "How can the Yellow River shine with the vast universe?"
"..."
Following the Eternal Emperor's instructions, Mingzhi Tian arrived at the serene Xianhe River—
Before him, abundant immortal spiritual energy was swirling around a peerless divine sword.
Mingzhi Tian leaped forward and grabbed the hilt. He exerted all his strength but couldn't pull it out at all.
He poured his spiritual power into his hand and then exerted full force. The divine sword hummed and repelled him ten feet away!
Mingzhi Tian's hand still tingled with the aftershock, and it took a long time to calm down. He tried again... it was the same. He tried again! The result was still the same...
"I don't believe it!"
"Humph! ... Bang!"
The residual power directly injured Mingzhi Tian, causing him to spit blood...
Mingzhi Tian tried repeatedly but failed.
The Eternal Emperor shook his head: "It seems that with your current ability, you cannot wield this sword yet. Forget it, I will take it."
Sensing that the Eternal Emperor was extraordinary, and having always been in a precarious position when accompanying a powerful being, he understood the principle of the supremacy of the strong. He himself was a divine tribulation-level magical artifact. Compared to the divine artifacts possessed by the Eternal Emperor, he seemed insignificant. Fearing that his status would be threatened and his life endangered, he immediately flew out!
He attached himself to Mingzhi Tian's back, as if Mingzhi Tian were his shield.
Mingzhi Tian was bewildered: "What's wrong with it?"
The Eternal Emperor coldly smiled: "A nascent sword spirit, boy, why don't you accept it?"
Mingzhi Tian said: "Elder Qian, what?"
The Eternal Emperor said: "To avoid attaching itself to this Emperor, it is willing to submit to you instead. Don't you see?"
Mingzhi Tian was overjoyed! "Are you serious?! That's great! Sword... come!"
The divine tribulation-level magical artifact flew out and darted around, appearing very happy. This was a sign of submission. Mingzhi Tian never expected that it would willingly attach itself to him because of the Eternal Emperor.
