Chapter 1909. Golden, Empyrean, Ascendant! (1/2)
The Devil Dao Sect was in the northwest part of the Green Devil Continent and was built on a swamp. It was one of the nine sects and thirteen factions of the Eastern Continent, which meant they had the power of a peak late stage Void Tribulant cultivator!
Only with this kind of strength could a sect become famous on such a land mass as the Eastern Continent!
On the Immortal Astral Continent, anyone who had stepped into the Void Tribulant stage could be considered an Exalt. Even late stage Void Tribulant cultivators were considered Exalts. Only those that were infinitely close to peak Void Tribulant but weren’t able to cross the gap could be called Golden Exalts!!
If one could break through into peak Void Tribulant, then they would become a False Empyrean Exalt, or just be called Empyrean Exalt! Even Grand Empyreans paid attention to these cultivators. Not only would the Grand Empyreans be courteous, they would also spend a lot of effort to pull them to their side.
After all, Empyrean Exalts were the strongest people under Grand Empyrean! There were conflicts between Grand Empyreans, but they wouldn’t act personally. After all, if they were to fight, the consequence would be too heavy!
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Grand Empyreans wouldn’t fight each other. Back then, Dao Yi and Xuan Luo were battling over territory!
However, neither of them could do much to the other. As a result, conflicts between Grand Empyreans depended on the number and the power of the Empyrean Exalts under them.
It can be said that an Empyrean Exalt could obtain unimaginable glory and status on the Immortal Astral Continent. They would obtain the attention and care of a Grand Empyrean.
Rumor had it that the reason Empyrean Exalts were called False Empyrean Exalts was because there was another layer between Empyrean Exalt and Grand Empyrean. This realm was called Ascendant Empyrean. Cultivators at this level had exceeded peak Void Tribulant and were extremely rare even under Grand Empyreans!
Since ancient times, not many cultivators could reach Empyrean Exalt. Even fewer were able to ascend past Empyrean Exalt and reach Ascendant Empyrean. Rumor has it that the Great Soul Sect’s Luo Yunhai was an Ascendant Empyrean and that’s why he dared to challenge Grand Empyrean Dao Yi!
However, this person was simply too arrogant and there was some unknown conflict between them that forced Grand Empyrean Dao Yi to kill him. However, Grand Empyrean Dao Yi allowed his soul to return to the Great Soul Sect before Grand Empyrean Dao Yi admired his talent!
Since the birth of the Heavenly Bull Continent, outsiders only knew of this one Ascendant Empyrean that had appeared there!
Golden Exalt, Empyrean Exalt, Ascendant Empyrean, Grand Empyrean. Four different titles represented four different peaks of power!
The Great Soul Sect had Old Ancestor Green Bull and an Ascendant Empyrean called Luo Yunhai who had dared to challenge a Grand Empyrean. Although this was a long time ago, his fame still existed today. Esteemed Green Bull was a Golden Exalt and he had an essence true body. Along with the Great Soul Sect’s mysterious spells, the Great Soul Sect was one of the nine sects and thirteen factions, and they were ranked high up.
As for the Gui Yi Sect, they had no Golden Exalt. Even the sect master was only a late stage Void Tribulalnt cultivator. There was a heavenly gap that he couldn’t cross between him and a peak late stage Void Tribulant cultivator.
Although that was the case, the Gui Yi Sect had more than five people at the late stage of Void Tribulant, and they held important positions.
The sect had also inherited a famous suit of ancient armor. A late stage Void Tribulant Exalt wearing this armor could increase their power greatly. If they were to sacrifice life force, they could that release power to battle against a Golden Exalt!
It was the existence of this armor that put the sect in an awkward position. Due to the fact that life force needed to be sacrificed, the armor couldn’t be worn more than three times. After three uses, one would die. However, the Gui Yi Sect had five people who could wear the armor, which made them qualified to become one of the nine sects and thirteen factions.
As for the Devil Dao Sect, their sect master was a peak late stage Void Tribulant Golden Exalt. His powerful cultivation made him famous across the Eastern Continent! However, compared to Esteemed Green Bull, although both were Golden Exalts, Esteemed Green Bull had his essence true body, so the Devil Dao Sect’s sect master was not his match!
However, the Devil Dao Sect was not weak among the nine sects and thirteen factions. Aside from the Golden Exalt sect master, they had four Void Tribulant Exalts, but most importantly, they still had an ancestor outside the sect!!
The Devil Dao Sect’s ancestor was an Empyrean Exalt!! He didn’t care about the sect and didn’t worship the Green Devil Scorpion Temple. He only cared about his own cultivation, and 13,000 years ago, he was recruited by Grand Empyrean Dao Yi!
With an ancestor like this, the Devil Dao Sect had become famous across the Eastern Continent and held the leadership position in the Green Devil Continent!
However, this ancestor’s loyalty to the Devil Dao Sect had weakened greatly as his cultivation level increased. He wouldn’t care about small battles and it didn’t matter how many people died, as long as their dao root remained.
But if someone wanted to destroy the Devil Dao Sect’s dao root, then for his own face, he would pursue this matter!
All of this was recorded on the tortoise shell map Old Ancestor Green Bull had given Wang Lin.
“In the Eastern Continent, there are only seven Empyrean Exalts remaining! I wonder, with my current cultivation level, what cultivation level will I reach if I use the Heavenly Bull soul armor…”As the storm swept forward, Wang Lin stood there with his hands behind his back and his eyes shining.
“I can ignore Golden Exalts, Empyrean Exalts… I haven’t battled any, but I really want to!”Wang Lin’s white hair fluttered. He waved his sleeve and his clothes covered his head.
