Chapter 1475: Deceive The World
Translator: Legge
In other words, the old man was implying that Su Zimo’s Green Lotus True Body had to grow to Grade 8 if he wanted to enter the advanced ancient battlefield!
A Grade 8 Creation Green Lotus was extremely difficult to nurture and in the ancient era, only the Buddha Emperor had it.
Even if Su Zimo were to absorb the large chunk of Ashoka Wood completely, it would be difficult for his Green Lotus True Body to transform to Grade 8.
However, there was still a chance!
The Creation Green Lotus had already fused with his body and bloodline.
As long as his cultivation increased, the Green Lotus True Body would grow!
Although the Kunlun Ruins were filled with danger, there were countless treasures.
Furthermore, experts of the primordial races did not dare to enter the ruins. As long as he could avoid the danger of the Kunlun Ruins, he could cultivate there forever!
This was a rare opportunity and cultivation ground for Su Zimo!
“You guys can rest here for a few days,”
The storyteller smiled gently. “That divine power of mine can still conceal everything for a few more days. At the very least, you’ll be safe in Enigma Palace during this period of time.”
“Senior, what’s the name of your divine power?”
Su Zimo asked curiously.
“Deceive the World!”
The storyteller said slowly, “It’s a supreme divine power!”
“Ah!”
Su Zimo and Demoness Ji exclaimed.
The two of them were fortunate enough to witness a supreme divine power personally and were both shocked and delighted!
The storyteller said, “There are many types of supreme divine powers and all of them focus on different aspects. Some of them focus on movement techniques while others on killing. For Deceive the World, it’s the number one method of concealing the heavenly secrets!”
“For example, Everlasting Vitality focuses on healing, Sleeve Universe focuses on encompassing and shifting space. For supreme divine powers such as Incinerating Firmament Boiling Sea, Six Paths of Reincarnation, Firmament Slash and Divine Punishment, they lean towards killing!”
Incinerating Firmament Boiling Sea!
Sleeve Universe!
Six Paths of Reincarnation!
Su Zimo’s gaze intensified when he heard that.
He was getting closer to these legendary powers!
“Do you know what’s the difference between Mahayana Patriarchs and Emperors?”
The storyteller asked again, “What sort of Patriarchs are able to become Emperors?”
Su Zimo exchanged glances with Demoness Ji and both of them shook their heads.
“The comprehension of a supreme divine power!”
The storyteller said, “One can only be conferred the title and become a true Emperor upon comprehension of a supreme divine power!”
Su Zimo’s eyes revealed a look of realization.
It was no wonder why Hermit once said that even Emperors were at the Mahayana realm.
The reason why a Patriarch was referred to as an Emperor was because they had comprehended a supreme divine power!
The storyteller continued, “The reason why there’s a difference in strength between Emperors is because the focus of the supreme divine powers they comprehend is different.”
“For example, back then, the supreme divine power comprehended by the Dharma Emperor was Everlasting Vitality and it was focused on healing. Eventually, he could not defeat the Ancestor realm Illumination Dragon still.”
At that point, Su Zimo sighed internally.
Even the storyteller did not know the truth about what happened at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley back then.
The reason why the Dharma Emperor sacrificed his remaining lifespan to save the red-headed ghost was because he did not want a huge battle between the Dragon race and the human race to repeat the massacre.
“Of course, if the difference is merely in the focus of the comprehended divine power, the variation in combat strength won’t be too great,”
The storyteller said, “If anyone could comprehend a second, third, or even more supreme divine powers, their combat strength would increase in folds!”
“That’s way too difficult,”
Demoness Ji shook her head.
It was already extremely rare for someone to comprehend a single supreme divine power and become an Emperor, let alone two, three or more.
There would always be a time when one was exhausted—even Emperors did not have that much time and energy.
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he suddenly asked, “How many supreme divine powers did the Eternal Human Emperor comprehend in the past?”
Demoness Ji let out a curious expression as well.
“Six of them!”
The storyteller said slowly.
Su Zimo and Demoness Ji were shocked!
The storyteller said, “Ever since the ancient era, there have been many paragons and monster incarnates. Their achievements may even surpass the Human Emperor.”
Su Zimo nodded. For people like him and the fallen Di Yin, their accomplishments at the Golden Core realm had already surpassed the Human Emperor.
“However, among those monster incarnates, few could become Emperors. None of them could even compare to him, let alone surpass him in the end!”
Suddenly, Demoness Ji asked, “How many supreme divine powers did Fiend Emperor Hatred comprehend in the past?”
“Five,”
The storyteller said, “However, given the Fiend Emperor Hatred’s talent, he should have been able to comprehend a sixth one and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Human Emperor if he hadn’t committed suicide.”
“As for the remaining Buddha, Sword, Saber and Thunder Emperors, they merely comprehended three supreme divine powers. Most of the ancient Emperors merely comprehended a single supreme divine power.”
“What a stark difference!”
Su Zimo was secretly alarmed.
Even for renowned Emperors such as the Buddha and Sword Emperors, they were two supreme divine powers apart from Fiend Emperor Hatred; the difference between them and the Human Emperor was even greater!
The storyteller said, “Therefore, without the Eternal Human Emperor, the human race would have definitely lost the ancient war!”
Legend has it that in the ancient war, the Human Emperor overturned the entire situation singlehandedly.
But now, Su Zimo knew that the legend was not exaggerated at all!
He thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice, “What’s the max number of supreme divine powers comprehended by the Emperors of the human race in this generation?”
“Probably three,”
The storyteller sighed gently.
Su Zimo finally understood the pessimism of the storyteller.
The strength of the human race in this generation was truly way too inferior compared to the ancient era!
In the ancient war, even with the Human Emperor, the human race merely secured a tragic victory, let alone this generation.
“Don’t think about such things first,”
The storyteller looked at Su Zimo and said in a deep voice, “Right now, the most important thing for you is to cultivate as soon as possible and grow further!”
“I understand,”
Su Zimo nodded.
The storyteller left after a few more reminders and Su Zimo stayed in Enigma Palace temporarily alongside Demoness Ji.
Yan Beichen’s injuries gradually healed.
In a few days, he had mostly recovered.
However, the wound in his heart could no longer be healed.
His eyes were still dead without any luster.
Su Zimo sighed internally.
As he had expected, after Yan Beichen killed Heavenly Secrets, he lost the obsession in his heart and could no longer find any hope of surviving.
Once he left, Yan Beichen would most probably commit suicide!
Su Zimo wanted to console him but realized that he did not know where to start.
At that moment, any consolation seemed powerless.
After a long silence, Su Zimo said, “Brother Yan, have you ever considered the fact that although it’s not present in Tianhuang Mainland, there might be a mysterious power in the upper world that could revive Fellow Daoist Qin?”
“The reason why I’m in my current state is because of a woman from the upper world who changed my fate for me! Brother Yan, I believe that the power of the upper world can also control life and death!”

“Everyone has to have a goal to survive. My goal is to ascend to the upper world and follow in her footsteps so that I can stand shoulder to shoulder with her!”
At the mention of that, Su Zimo’s gaze was resolute and he seemed to shine.
At the side, Demoness Ji pursed her lips and her eyes dimmed momentarily at the sight of that.
“Everyone has to have a goal to survive?”
Suddenly, Yan Beichen murmured softly and his eyes flickered.
Right then, Lin Xuanji pushed the door open and entered.. “Brother Su, you have visitors.”
