Chapter 1086: Imperial Border
While the girls were surprised, Bai Jianzhen was in such awe that she blurted: “Immortal Emperor Nu Zhan, he had a grand completion Immortal Physique too…”
The nine worlds had a particular belief. When a grand completion Immortal Physique user was at their peak, they could a.s.sail Immortal Emperors. Immortal Emperor Nu Zhan was not only at the top already, he ended up becoming an emperor as well!
Just think about it, his power must have been unfathomable.
“Are there existences in this world that are even more powerful than Immortal Emperors?” Li Shuangyan murmured in a daze.
Li Qiye slightly shook his head and answered: “In the nine worlds, there might not be something stronger than an Immortal Emperor. In a one-on-one fight, Immortal Emperors have always been invincible. The fact that Immortal Emperor Nu Zhan couldn’t get to the other side doesn’t necessarily mean that he wasn’t strong enough.”
“Then for what reason did he fail?” Chen Baojiao quickly asked. Anyone would be curious about a secret like this.
Even Mei Suyao looked over at Li Qiye. Even though she was the main successor of the Eternal River School, not even its ancestors knew this matter very well, let alone its disciples. Immortal Emperor Nu Zhan rarely talked about this matter. At best, he only left behind a few words. The majority was speculation by future generations.
Mei Suyao realized that Li Qiye knew a lot more, even things that weren’t privy to her ancestors.
Li Shuangyan looked at her Young n.o.ble and couldn’t help but ask: “What is the reason for the emperor’s failure in crossing to the other side?”
In her mind, there was nothing that her Young n.o.ble didn’t know or couldn’t do. If he didn’t know, then others definitely wouldn’t know.
“Because there were too many uncertainties on the other side.” Li Qiye didn’t want to talk about this matter. Back then, Immortal Emperor Nu Zhan had specifically asked him about this, but he wasn’t willing to disclose its secrets unless he was capable of solving this mystery.
“Okay, let’s go to the Imperial Border. I’ll take you guys to have a look at a certain place, it will definitely defy your common sense.” Li Qiye smiled.
Having heard this, the girls became happy and even excited. They came with their Young n.o.ble for the experience and to broaden their horizons.
Even the otherworldly Mei Suyao felt quite happy. She didn’t come with Li Qiye for treasures or merit laws. She wanted to see a world unreachable and unviewable by others.
Li Qiye and the girls began to head for the Imperial Border at an extremely fast speed.
The Imperial Border was the other half of the Lesser Imperial Devil World. The Imperial Border and the Devil World each took half of the entire land.
No one knew why this lesser world was divided into two regions like this. What was even stranger was that imperial soldiers and dark cultivators existed together in this place, but they never mingled.
A boundary separated the two worlds. Even when the two different existences were right beside each other on opposite sides of the boundary, that small distance was the same as that between heaven and earth.
The Imperial Border gave a completely different feeling than the Devil World. The Devil World was indeed majestic with great sceneries, but it was engulfed in dark energy. This, in turn, resulted in an oppressive atmosphere.
The Imperial Border was different. Anyone who stepped inside would instantly feel a sense of heroism and ambition.
Regardless of whether one was a big shot or a minor character, once inside the Imperial Border, they would instantly feel a free and unrestrained momentum permeating this vast world.
“Imperial momentum…” Mei Suyao couldn’t help but murmur after sensing this atmosphere and feeling an ambition rising in her heart.
The imperial momentum was the foundation of the Imperial Border. It was the same as the evil energy in the Devil World and the Buddhist affinity in the plateau.
Because of this atmosphere or perhaps the border itself, everyone would think that this scenic area was magnificent. Each peak and river gave off a royal and righteous aura.
The Devil World had dark cultivators and the Imperial Border had imperial “weapons”. “Weapon” here was not referring to an Immortal Emperor Life Treasure or something of that sort but rather the troops of the border! [1. This sentence won’t make as much sense in English. The word 兵 has the following definitions: soldiers; a force; an army; weapons; arms; military; warlike. In ED, it is often translated to weapons, which is why this paragraph is necessary. I knew they were soldiers from the start due to the context.]
