Chapter 1461: Injecting Ancestral Item-Spirits

“She is an Empyrean,” answered Chu Yao.

Of the people here, only Chu Yao was an Empyrean. Long Chen, Tang Wan-er, and Meng Qi were still a bit confused as to what an Empyrean was.

Chu Yao explained, “Do you still remember Favored from the Eastern Wasteland? Favored, Celestials, and Empyreans are all the same concept. They are all born from the Heavenly Daos. When Peng Wansheng likened Favored, Celestials, and Empyreans to commoners, officials, and crown princes, he was generally correct. They are all born from the Heavenly Daos, but the degree in which the Heavenly Daos favor them differs greatly.”

“So putting it simply, it’s a case of each level suppressing the last?” asked Tang Wan-er.

“Yes, that’s about it. The suppression of the Heavenly Daos is even greater than the suppression between cultivation realms. That’s why Life Star experts can easily kill Soul Transformation experts when they’re at equivalent Celestials ranks, but a rank five Life Star Celestial is only a match for a rank seven Soul Transformation Celestial. For example, if two children are fighting, if one is a true son while the other is adopted, the father will naturally treat their own son a bit better. But when it comes to the difference between Empyreans and Celestials, it’s like one is the father’s son, while the other is someone else’s son. The Heavenly Daos won’t even care about the other person’s death,” said Chu Yao.

“I heard Leng Yueyan say that someone who hasn’t awakened their manifestation isn’t even an Empyrean. What does that mean?” asked Tang Wan-er, referring to what Leng Yueyan had said to Sha Guangyan.

“She is correct. Right now, we aren’t true Empyreans. We are more accurately sprouts that can become Empyreans. The ma.s.s of primal chaos behind us when we fight is a primitive manifestation. All our manifestations are like that right now. That primal chaos manifestation is at most able to allow us to use a portion of the Heavenly Dao’s energy. We can’t control the energy of the whole world. True Empyreans who have awakened their manifestations are in control of heaven and earth. Just like Peng Wansheng said, they are the crown prince of the world, and everyone else has to kneel before them. In front of Empyreans, all Celestials have to kneel and accept their fate,” said Chu Yao.

“They’re that powerful?” Even Long Chen was shocked. The Empyreans he had fought weren’t even true Empyreans yet? Just how terrifying would they be once they had awakened their manifestations?

“Yes, they’re that powerful. However, awakening your manifestation is not easy. Each manifestation has its own name, and only one such manifestation can exist at any time. In other words, each Empyrean with an awakened manifestation is unique. So Leng Yueyan is right that Sha Guangyan was trying to make himself look better by calling himself an Empyrean. An Empyrean who hasn’t awakened their manifestation is not a true Empyrean,” said Chu Yao.

“Then can you awaken your manifestation? What do you need to do to awaken it?” asked Tang Wan-er.

Chu Yao shook her head. “Awakening one’s manifestation is not simply a matter of effort. It’s up to the will of the heavens.”

The will of the heavens? That was what Long Chen hated the most. If things had gone according to the will of the heavens, he’d have long since died. Shaking his head, he asked, “Have the others woken up?”

“Everyone else is awake. You sat here for ten days, and no one wanted to disturb you. But after so much time, we decided to come over,” said Meng Qi.

“I’ve made you worry. Let’s go over to them.” Long Chen rose and stretched his waist, slapping himself in the face a couple of times. After talking for a bit, he felt much more refreshed.

The losses of the Dragonblood warriors had been a heavy blow to him. But after the pain, you had to wipe away your tears and continue forward. Those fallen brothers were still watching, so Long Chen had to act in a way befitting their deaths and lead everyone onward.

The entire Dragonblood Legion was gathered, and after resting, they had fully recovered. Most importantly, their mental states were much better now.

“Boss!” They all looked at Long Chen.

Long Chen nodded. “Remember, we don’t have time to feel sad, and we don’t need to feel sad. Our lives are the continuation of our brothers’ lives. Not only can we not be sad, but we have to live even happier than before, not just for ourselves, but for them. If the positions were reversed and we were the ones to die, we’d also want the same. So starting today, forget that useless pain and sorrow. Everyone, work hard on cultivation, because the first thing we’ll need to do is get revenge!”

Long Chen’s voice was icy and filled with killing intent. Whoever made him feel pain would have to pay a heavy price.

“Revenge!”

“Revenge!”

“Revenge!”

The Dragonblood warriors roared out furiously. This blood debt would have to be paid.

“Boss, let’s completely annihilate the Corrupt path, ancient races, and ancient family alliance,” said Guo Ran high-spiritedly.

“Are your big words useful? When will you change this habit? With our current power, we aren’t able to destroy any of them. Do you even believe your own words?” demanded Long Chen.

“Cough, boss, I was speaking for you. With your power, you’ll definitely be capable of it,” said Guo Ran.
