Chapter 1713: Chapter 746: Hundred Emperor Souls! Strength Lies in Will_2

“The trial left by Supreme Hong Ying is actually an aid to you. If other Divine Kings were to attempt it, there would indeed be a danger of getting lost or even self-destruction.” Heart Dream God Emperor said, “But your soul is already at the Emperor Realm level, and your will is only a hair’s breadth away from the Emperor Realm level… at most, your true body will be trapped for a while.”

“It’s not to the point of falling.”

Soul? Will? Lost? Li Yuan immediately speculated in his heart, could the trial of the Hong Ying Supreme Hall be related to soul will?

“When you successfully come out from the Hong Ying Supreme Hall… come to see me, and you will be qualified to know many secrets behind the scenes.” Heart Dream God Emperor said.

“I understand, Senior.” Li Yuan said.

Although Heart Dream God Emperor didn’t say it directly, it was already clear to Li Yuan… to go and try.

Whew!

Li Yuan’s phantom dissipated, leaving only a white-robed phantom standing in the void.

“Is it the Beihai Supreme Hall first?” Heart Dream God Emperor murmured to himself: “Beihai? Truly a name worth reminiscing about.”

“What a pity.”

“What a pity…”

…

Inside the Hong Ying Supreme Hall, that grand and ancient palace.

“Senior Jin Yuan.” Li Yuan suddenly called out as he was deep in thought.

“Have you decided?” Jin Yuan looked at Li Yuan: “Give up? Or continue?”

“Since I’m here, there’s no way I can leave like this.” Li Yuan said calmly: “Please, senior, tell me, what exactly did Supreme Hong Ying leave behind?”

“You really want to try?” Little Tomb sighed softly, but didn’t dissuade him, as he had long guessed Li Yuan would try.

In fact, even without Heart Dream God Emperor’s affirmation, Li Yuan would most likely choose to continue… thousands of years of cultivation, overcoming tribulations time and again.

Already forged Li Yuan’s unyielding determination.

If not for such determination, back then in the Spirit Tree Universe, on Beichen Star’s Reincarnation Stone… would Li Yuan have already lost, even if he could wait until today?

“Haha, alright.”

“This is the kind of candidate that can gain the recognition of a Supreme token.” Jin Yuan smiled: “Don’t worry, though there is a certain chance of dying… but I observe you are extremely young, as long as your other true bodies in the outside world cultivate fast enough, there should be no life danger.”

“Now, let me tell you.” Jin Yuan pointed to the four directions: “See those deceased Emperor realms?”

“They were all born in the Honghe Universe Emperor realms.”

Li Yuan nodded, having already guessed this from Little Tomb’s words earlier.

The Honghe Alliance has a vast number of Emperor Realm experts, as far as he knows, there are tens of thousands of Emperor realms… but the vast majority are other Cosmic Realms or even other Dark Domain experts.

Truly belonging to the Honghe Universe as Emperor realms, not many, only about a hundred.

But these Emperor realms, each one is a core existence of the Honghe Alliance, highly valued and trusted by the two Supremes.

“Back then, the Honghe Universe’s reincarnation doomed the complete obliteration of countless beings in the entire Cosmic Realm.” Jin Yuan spoke in a low tone: “136 Emperor realms, all had their true bodies in the Supreme Star City… before the Cosmic Realm’s reincarnation arrived, the master gathered all Emperor realms here.”

“These Emperor realms all chose to obliterate this true body’s spiritual light, equivalent to suicide.”

“Then, the master used great magical power to preserve all these Emperor Realm true bodies here, and kept most of their soul origins… as a hope for the future.” Jin Yuan said.

Hope? Li Yuan’s heart stirred.

“The master hoped.”

“If his plan succeeds, there might be a day to reverse time and revive everything.” Jin Yuan sighed and lamented: “Then, with all 136 Emperor realms’ true bodies and soul origins intact, the hope of resurrection would be much greater.”

“What a pity.”

“In the end… even the Supreme itself perished.” Jin Yuan shook his head.

Li Yuan was awestruck by what he heard.

Supreme Hong Ying truly was a man of great ambition… he even wanted to ultimately revive all the Emperor realms of the Honghe Universe.

“Past events are already past, not much to talk about.”

“The trial left by the master is these 136 Emperor realms’ ’Soul Pillars’.” Jin Yuan looked at Li Yuan: “Each Emperor realm corresponds to a purple Divine Pillar, that is, the Soul Pillar… they are all evolved and born based on each Emperor realm’s soul, encompassing everything.”

“These Soul Pillars not only preserve each Emperor realm’s soul origin, but also allow other cultivators to immerse themselves, grinding their soul will…”

“As long as you can successfully break through the obstacles of the 136 soul pillars, it represents passing the test left by the master.” Jin Yuan said slowly: “And then you can become the true successor of the master.”

Li Yuan understood.

No wonder he felt as soon as he entered the hall that each of those purple Divine Pillars was quite mysterious, and engraved with countless mysterious Dao patterns.

It turns out, it was involved in something so significant.

“Senior Jin Yuan, does this trial have a time limit?” Li Yuan asked.

“No.” Jin Yuan shook his head: “But I must remind you… As your soul consciousness of a true body immerses into the Soul Pillar, everything you experience is almost completely real for the soul consciousness, and will constantly affect your origin consciousness.”

“The more you feel, the deeper the impact… even causing you to completely lose yourself, this is the peril of getting lost.”

“Therefore.”

“Every time you awaken, you must make sure to fully recover yourself before you can try again.” Jin Yuan looked at Li Yuan.

“Thank you for the reminder, senior.” Li Yuan nodded.

He was confident enough in himself… although his years of cultivation were short, his soul will was definitely not weak, these soul pillars might trap him.

But the peril of getting lost? Li Yuan didn’t really believe it.

“Try the first Soul Pillar first.” Li Yuan sat cross-legged, having realized that the sequence of these 136 Emperor realms was with intent.

The deeper he went, the stronger the aura exuded by these Emperor realms, with even dominator level at the deepest point.
