Chapter 602: West Dam
Why must that special period be avoided? Could the Demon Emperor still have such a terrifying influence over a thousand years after his death? That later generations cannot attain the Dao and become emperors is far too shocking to hear.
"In the same era, two Great Emperors cannot appear. This has been the case since ancient times, a consensus with no exceptions," Pang Bo said.
Ye Fan had long known of this rumor, but he still could not understand how it worked. Back then, the Big Black Dog had not given him a detailed explanation.
An ancient Great Emperor represented the highest achievement of the human race, possessing the ultimate Dao power of the world. They were the embodiment of the great Dao of heaven and earth, capable of plucking stars and capturing the moon, with no limits to their power.
After a Great Emperor passed away, they could still influence this world for a considerable length of time. Some estimated that after a human Great Emperor sat in meditation and passed on, it would take ten thousand years for the great Dao to completely return to calm.
The Green Emperor was a legend. In the post-Ancient era, when even sages could barely appear, he attained the Dao and became an emperor, ranking among the strongest in history.
No one could say exactly which era he was from, nor could they estimate how long he lived. People only knew that he passed away ten thousand years ago in the Eastern Wasteland.
"Xiang Yufei must avoid that special period. Otherwise, even with the bearing of a Great Emperor, he cannot attain the Dao. Besides, he himself indeed shows signs of an early death."
Xiang Yufei, at nineteen years old, became the unmatched Divine King Physique of the Ji Family in the Central Province, sweeping all before him without a single defeat. He was the number one expert of the Eastern Wasteland.
Some even said that these people were nothing. Once the Holy Maiden of the Zi Mansion became a Saint Lord, she would have no rivals, for she was an Innate Dao Fetus, unmatched in the world.
Others claimed that the true number one was Yan Ruyu. Once her Extreme Dao Sacred Weapon was unleashed, Wang Teng and the Central Emperor would both have to taste defeat and concede.
Of course, Hua Yunfei was brought up again. He had disappeared for nearly three years, but no one had forgotten him. He cultivated the Devouring Demon Art. Once he let loose, no one could stop his advance, and he would surely progress a thousand miles in a single day. Some people made an almost alarmist prediction: within ten years, he would surely bring chaos to the Eastern Wasteland; within a hundred years, he would dominate the five domains.
Naturally, many people mentioned Ye Fan, believing that if he did not die and grew step by step, his achievements would be limitless. After all, he was the only Sacred Body to break the curse since the Ancient era.
The most speechless thing was that Duan De, a tomb raider already over thirty years old, was also brought up. They said the unscrupulous Taoist was an anomaly, with depths that could not be fathomed.
Additionally, there was Xia Jiuyou, who was also mentioned. At thirteen years old, she broke through the Four Extremes and entered the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, making her a rare genius seldom seen since ancient times.
She was not like Wang Chong, who fell into a dragon cave and obtained a peerless fortune, drinking dragon blood and divine marrow. She advanced step by step, cultivating on her own.
In the end, people realized that there were too many noteworthy figures in the Eastern Wasteland to determine who was the number one expert. Most of these people had never shown their true strength and were very low-key.
Even after entering the Extraordinary Scholars Mansion, it was the same. No one heard of any Eastern Wasteland person being called a prodigy, nor did anyone forcefully stand out to do anything.
Yet people had heard that the Holy Son Yao Guang was someone who had to endure heavenly tribulation every time. How could he not be a prodigy?
From this, it could be inferred that the others were certainly not simple either, with immense room for growth.
Outside West Dam City, two towering figures stood in the void. One was covered in dense golden fine scales and had a pair of divine wings. The other shimmered with silver light, had four arms, and an extra vertical eye.
"He has vanished, concealing his aura. Even the Divine Calculator's top disciple cannot deduce him. The Yin Yang Sect cannot find him."
"He is likely still in this area. If we do not take his head, we cannot return to report."
The two ancient creatures spoke in low voices, their eyes flickering like blazing flames, their powerful auras astonishing.
While these two ancient beings were plotting to kill Ye Fan, he was holding the Immortal Tear Green Gold Book, pondering it. The small characters on it were carved in ancient divine script from before the ancient era. Could he catch an ancient creature to translate them?
