110: The flawless law left behind by the Holy Emperor
The Ruined Realm Battlefield is a dilapidated Plane. For various reasons, such as a battle between Supremes or mutual invasions between two realms, a Plane is destroyed, thus forming a Ruined Realm.
Qin Gelan and the others listened to the Empress speak about the Realm War.
"In other words, are all battlefields below the Supreme level held in the Ruined Realm?" Li Yuan asked.
"The Ruined Realm was originally formed from a dilapidated Plane; it can no longer withstand the trampling of Supremes." The Empress explained to everyone, continuing: "However, the Ruined Realm Battlefield is monitored by Supremes. No experts of the older generation will set foot in your battlefield, but you can set foot in theirs."
"Of course, only if you have the strength to fight those High-Rank Immortal Emperors. Otherwise, it's best not to get involved," the Empress added.
Everyone nodded upon hearing this. The Demon Prince grew even more excited, wanting to exchange blows with the older generation.
With the boost from Qin Gelan's Immortal Emperor Breakthrough Card, the Demon Prince had already broken through to the Second Heaven of Immortal Emperor.
"Qin Gelan can completely dominate the battlefield of the younger generation. His true battlefield is over with the High-Rank Immortal Emperors." The Demon Prince looked at Qin Gelan.
Qin Gelan didn't deny it either. He spoke: "Let's deal with those small fry first. Once they're taken care of, we'll head to the other side."
No one doubted Qin Gelan's words. Back when he was at the Second Heaven of Immortal Emperor, he could already hold his own against High-Rank Immortal Emperors. With his current strength, he could fully participate in the other battlefield.
"In one month, let's head to Book Mountain," Qin Gelan decided. It was time to return the hunyuan fruit that the Literary Sage had given him previously.
Although it was intended to be exchanged for Flat Peaches with the Monster Realm, it was no longer needed and should naturally be returned to the Literary Sage.
After all, the hunyuan fruit was an immortal elixir, considered a Supreme treasure even to a Supreme.
After everyone left, there was an unusual movement in the space between Qin Gelan's brows. He hadn't shown it before, but upon returning to the Imperial Palace, he sat cross-legged.
Between his brows, a golden figure seemed to be manifesting something.
Suddenly, a scene appeared: a Divine Ape, domineering over heaven and earth, held the sea calming divine needle. The ape's body was incredibly massive, standing tall in the vast Universe, surrounded by stars that were actually individual Planes.
This scene was quite breathtaking. Qin Gelan recognized it in an instant.
The Saint Emperor!
The legendary Flawless Supreme Being!
The Divine Ape suddenly transformed into particles, which formed a complex script.
Qin Gelan felt an unparalleled Dao from these words. This Dao was somewhat similar to Slaying Self to Illuminate the Dao, yet also different.
"Could this be the Flawless Dao Proving Method!" Qin Gelan was greatly shocked.
In the Sealed Land, the remnant will left by the Saint Emperor in his brow turned out to be the Flawless Dao Proving Method.
If word got out, all the Supremes of the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms would likely come knocking, and he would become a target for everyone.
The Flawless Dao Proving Method was too enticing. Current Supremes, including Extreme Dao Supreme Beings, were actually Pseudo-Supremes, not true ones.
A true Supreme should be like the Celestial Emperor or the Saint Emperor.
Because the world is flawed, no matter how strong an Extreme Dao Supreme Being is, they lack that final layer of Origin. These are Flawed Supremes.
And this Origin does not refer to the Origin Body, but the Origin of the Dao.
When a Supreme attains the Dao, and even for the subsequent Extreme Dao Supreme Beings, they can at most comprehend nine layers of Origin. The remaining layer must be completed by themselves.
However, trying to complete this layer of Origin is as difficult as ascending to heaven. The gap is countless times harder than a Mortal cultivating to become a Supreme.
Since ancient times, besides the Celestial Emperor, only a few others have relied on themselves to complete the final layer of Origin. One can imagine the difficulty.
Completing the Origin to attain the Dao as a Flawless Supreme Being—the Saint Emperor was one of them.
The Flawless Dao Proving Method left by the Saint Emperor in Qin Gelan's mind was the method for completing that final layer.
However, Qin Gelan couldn't understand why the Saint Emperor would pass this completion method to him instead of his own descendant, the Demon Emperor.
Although this completion method was precious, it was of no use to Qin Gelan. He was Tracing the True Self; he himself was the world, so he could not be flawed.
After some thought, Qin Gelan felt he could give this completion method to others, such as the Empress, the Literary Sage, or the Demon Emperor.
Later, Qin Gelan found the Empress and got straight to the point: "Xi Huang, when you attained the Dao as a Supreme, did you feel flawed?"
The Empress nodded: "The world is incomplete, so Attaining the Dao is naturally flawed. Even an Extreme Dao Supreme Being is a Flawed Supreme."
"During this trip to the Monster Realm, I saw the remnant will of the Saint Emperor in the Sealed Land," Qin Gelan said.
"The Saint Emperor?"
"Could it be that ruler from the Grandmist era, the one after the Celestial Emperor?" The Empress's beautiful eyes narrowed.
Qin Gelan nodded with a solemn expression: "Not only that, I also obtained the Saint Emperor's Flawless Dao Proving Method."
The Empress's eyes suddenly widened. Her expression turned grave as she cast several seals around them to isolate them from the outside world.
This matter was too important, forcing even the Empress to be cautious.
"However, this Flawless Dao Proving Method is useless to me, but it's perfect for you." Qin Gelan looked at the Empress.
With an incredibly serious expression, the Empress asked Qin Gelan: "How many people know about this?"
Qin Gelan shook his head: "I'm not stupid; I know the weight of this. Currently, only the two of us know."
Hearing this, the Empress felt a bit more at ease, but she still cautioned him: "Except for those close to you, you must not let outsiders know. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe, and you will become an enemy of all the heavens."
Qin Gelan nodded and then passed the Saint Emperor's Flawless Dao Proving Method to the Empress.
The Empress closed her eyes and sensed it for a moment, unable to help but sigh: "What a profound completion method. This method emulates the Celestial Emperor and shares subtle similarities with Tracing the True Self."
"The final layer of Origin requires using one's own self to suppress one's own Dao and transcend above it. Although there is some gap compared to the Celestial Emperor's Slaying Self to Illuminate the Dao, it's enough to see how brilliant the Saint Emperor was."
The Empress glanced at Qin Gelan again. Like the Celestial Emperor, Qin Gelan had also Slayed Self to Illuminate the Dao and was Tracing the True Self, making him even more of a Prodigy than the Saint Emperor.
"What? Do you think I'm even more impressive than the Saint Emperor?" Qin Gelan smiled shamelessly.
The Empress gave him a speechless glance, full of charm.
"Actually... you could consider becoming my Imperial Consort."
"Wait, just talk. Why are you reaching for your sword?"
...A month later, Qin Gelan, the Demon Prince, Luo Liuli, and the others set off for Book Mountain.
Li Yi was incredibly excited, jumping for joy: "I can finally see the Literary Sage and the literary dao primordial pen!"
Li Yuan tapped Li Yi's forehead and warned: "Don't be rude once we reach Book Mountain. The Literary Sage is an Extreme Dao Supreme Being, a figure on the same level as the Demon Emperor."
The Demon Prince was also somewhat intrigued, wanting to meet this existence who was as famous as the Demon Emperor.
The Empress also came along on this trip. Whether for the protection during her attainment of the Dao or for the hunyuan fruit, she should naturally thank the Literary Sage in person.
With a wave of the Empress's hand, a Gate of Space appeared. At the Supreme Realm, Teleportation Arrays were no longer of much use.
Actually, with Qin Gelan's speed, he didn't need Teleportation Arrays either, but the others did.
Although one can travel through the void upon reaching the Immortal Venerable Realm, the void of the Xuanhuang Heaven Plane is too stable to allow direct positioning. After all, it is a Dominator Plane and cannot be judged by common logic.
Everyone stepped out of the Gate of Space and arrived in the Central State, Book City.
They would head from Book Mountain to the Ruined Realm to participate in the Realm War.
