Emperors Who Worried Themselves Sick

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, the things that the Ruthless Great Emperor prepared for Ye Fan included a holy medicine for all-round transformation, the Xuanhuang Root, Dao Proving Artifact, the True Dragon Divine Medicine, and the Immortal Ascension Cauldron that was implicitly brought by the Immortal Treasure Map."

"This includes the most important opportunities for cultivators, including healing and logistics, treasures for physical transformation, items for proving the Dao, and treasures for protecting the Dao. With the Primordial Sacred Body, the Eight Restrictions are not a problem."

"Once I achieve great success, I can then refine the Dao Integration Flower, which will pave a stable path to becoming a Great Emperor..."

Zhou Tong almost understood some of the Ruthless Great Emperor's arrangements.

The Ruthless Great Emperor may not have offered much, but she provided several of the most important key factors and crucial junctures on the path to enlightenment.

First, the Sacred Fruit from the Primordial Forbidden Land caused Ye Fan, who was already Primordial Sacred Body, to undergo a comprehensive transformation, enhancing his potential. This was enough to make the potential released within Ye Fan's body stronger than that of other Primordial Sacred Body with each step forward.

Imagine this: someone already possesses the physique of Primordial Sacred Body, and their potential is further amplified by the divine medicine. Throughout this journey, without revealing their Chaos Body or Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, who could withstand such a feat?

Then there are the artifacts forged from Profound Yellow Qi during the early stages of cultivation. These are the most important protective treasures. The Xuanhuang material alone can withstand countless attacks, enough to save one's life when facing danger in the early stages of cultivation.

In fact, in the original novel, Ye Fan repeatedly hid inside the Profound Yellow Cauldron to save his life when he encountered danger. Without this, he simply couldn't obtain many opportunities.

Next is the True Dragon Divine Medicine, which further enhances his life-saving abilities. For example, if Ye Fan were to suffer a qi deviation during his enlightenment, there would be something that could save his life. Even in ordinary times, he could use the special power of the True Dragon Divine Medicine to further unleash the terrifying power of the Primordial Sacred Body.

Next came the Immortal Ascension Cauldron brought by the Immortal Treasure Map. This was the most important point, because only by possessing such a treasure comparable to Imperial Weapon could one have the capital, confidence, and strength to face those Imperial Son and Imperial Son.

Otherwise, if Ye Fan were to confront the Imperial Son who wields Emperor Tier forbidden artifact head-on, he would die the moment he touched him!

In fact, this is how those who have attained enlightenment cultivate their confidence and invincible momentum.

Because he was so confident, he was extremely confident in the face of any difficulty, because no matter how bad or adverse the conditions were, he had the ultimate trump card to turn the tide.

All of this is still on the path to enlightenment; having these things only ensures that Ye Fan will not be weaker than other Imperial Son or Imperial Son. Because what the Ruthless Great Emperor provided, other Great Emperor and Ancient Emperor could also provide similar things.

When Ye Fan truly cultivated to the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven, the most important Dao Integration Flower arrived, directly elevating him to the position of Great Emperor!

"Perhaps the Ruthless Great Emperor didn't completely destroy the Immortal Ascension Cauldron because he wanted to leave it for Ye Fan?" This thought popped into Zhou Tong's mind.

"Actually, if Ye Fan really grew up along this path, although he could become an emperor, he probably wouldn't be able to reach the heights of the original story!" Zhou Tong couldn't help but think of the different paths the Undying Heavenly Emperor had provided for his two sons.

One of the paths is relatively stable, with abundant resources for cultivation, protectors, and even deliberately arranged trials. It can almost be said that it protects you all the way to the Emperor's Path.

This path, perhaps even with the bloodline of the Immortal Phoenix, could lead to becoming an Emperor, but only an ordinary Great Emperor.

If the Heavenly Emperor Son in the original novel hadn't been ganged up on and killed by Ye Fan, the Holy Imperial Son, Ji Zi, he probably would have had a good chance of winning in the end, or at the very least, achieving Alternative Dao Attainment.

Although the Heavenly Emperor Son was defeated by the Holy Imperial Son, if he survives that battle, he might learn from his mistakes, change his ways, and have a chance to make a comeback. If the Chaos Body is not revealed then, he will truly be hard to beat.

A defeat on the Emperor's Path does not necessarily mean there is no chance of recovery. In the original story, Ji Haoyue Dao Heart was shattered and his confidence was lost after being defeated by the Divine Venerable, but in the end, he still attained the Dao with Ye Fan's protection. Di Que was defeated by the Battle Saint Emperor on the Emperor's Path, but in the end, he rose again and attained the Dao in one fell swoop.

The other path, however, offers no cultivation resources, only a Dao Proving Artifact, a scripture, and the Undying Heavenly Blade for protection; everything else must be acquired through one's own efforts.

This is the true path to Great Emperor, the path with the greatest hope of becoming Mortal Immortal! That's why the second son of the emperor in the original story was able to approach the Mortal Immortal in just over 200,000 years, a speed that few can match.

"The Ruthless Great Emperor and the Undying Heavenly Emperor both worried themselves sick over their descendants! But the Wu Shi the Great was actually quite the same!" Zhou Tong thought of the Wu Shi the Great's legacy again.

Needless to say, that Immortal Divine Phoenix Medicine was definitely left for his successor. Otherwise, wouldn't it have been much better for the Wu Shi the Great to have brought an Immortal Divine Medicine with him, given how difficult his life was in that Strange World?

Even if Wu Shi the Great had consumed the Immortal Divine Medicine and developed resistance, the Elixir of Immortal Divine Phoenix Medicine was still far more potent than other medicines for healing. Moreover, Wu Shi the Great had followers in that world; if he didn't use it himself, why couldn't he give it to his followers? Even if none of them consumed it, wouldn't it be wonderful to combine it with other materials to refine the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir?

It's definitely more cost-effective to take it with you.

However, the Wu Shi the Great Wushi deliberately left the Immortal Divine Phoenix Medicine in his inheritance, the significance of which is self-evident.

"No matter Lifetime live, no matter how talented you are, without external help or standing on the shoulders of giants, you have no chance of achieving enlightenment!" The more Zhou Tong thought about it, the more he felt a different kind of feeling.

When I read books in my past life, they always emphasized things like an invincible mind and unparalleled talent. But when I actually entered this world, I realized that reality is too cruel, and these things are actually false propositions.

Without external help, where does the invincible mentality come from?

Talent and personality are merely internal factors for success; resources, connections, and luck are the most crucial external factors. Otherwise, even with unparalleled talent, without a stage to showcase it, one will inevitably suffer unfulfilled potential and die in frustration.

Having powerful backers and trump cards allows one to be fearless and resilient, with someone to cover for them when they make mistakes. Combined with their own talent and ability, they can win all the way up, thus cultivating an invincible mindset.

Otherwise, whose invincibility is innate? Apart from the Holy Spirit, who is perfectly born into this world, who can be invincible from birth?

When you have no support or trump cards, you recklessly rush around. What do you do when you actually encounter an opponent with Imperial Weapon?

Rushing in headlong? That's just asking to be delivered to the enemy's grave!

Should we retreat? Retreating once or twice is fine, but what if we retreat three, five, seven, or eight times? What kind of invincible mentality would we cultivate? It's a good mindset if we don't develop inner demons.

If no one prepares these things in advance, then it's all down to luck; perhaps something similar can be found to replace them during the growth process. Since no one provides these guarantees from birth, one must rely on opportunities later in life to compensate. Otherwise, how can one possibly win against opponents who rely on external forces?

Although Ye Fan swept through everything in the original story, he also relied on a lot of external forces.

Those emperors and kings also prepared a great deal for their descendants and successors.

They were all experienced people, and they knew what they would encounter on the Emperor's Path, and what kind of external force they needed most.

No one can accurately predict the future, and they would not allow their chosen descendants and successors to gamble on something as Nothingness as "luck."

The Battle Saint Emperor, who claimed to have given future generations a free sky, didn't he also use the Peach Divine Medicine to help his son undergo a complete transformation and lay a solid foundation? Didn't he also leave behind Ancient Emperor Weapon for protection? He even sealed his younger brother into that Lifetime, just to leave behind a protector!

Otherwise, if he truly believed that the Battle Saint Ape Clan was invincible, he could have sealed his younger brother and son into different eras, letting them fight and prove their path in their own time. Why did he have to let them be born in the Lifetime?

Even if the Undying Heavenly Emperor chose a "lonely and invincible" path of growth for his youngest son, wasn't there the Undying Heavenly Blade protecting him? Otherwise, would the Undying Heavenly Emperor have dared to let his youngest son embark on this journey alone after completely offending the Heavenly Court?

Perhaps the Undying Heavenly Emperor believed that Ye Fan had the spirit of Heavenly Emperor and wouldn't harm his son, but wasn't he afraid that those cultivators who wanted to curry favor with Ye Fan and the Heavenly Court would kill his newborn son beforehand?

"This True Dragon Divine Medicine is destined to belong to Ye Fan... However, I never cared about the True Dragon Divine Medicine. I already have the Kirin Divine Medicine, the Humanoid Divine Medicine, the White Tiger Divine Medicine, and the Bodhi Tree. I have no shortage of divine medicines!" With this thought in mind, Zhou Tong immediately poured his divine power into the Reincarnation Mirror.

"Om!"

In an instant, a golden egg appeared on the screen of the Reincarnation Mirror.

This is the scene of the birth of the Immortal King of the True Dragon Clan when this True Dragon Divine Medicine was still alive.

Zhou Tong strained his eyes to look at the egg, only to see that it was covered with countless runes, the True Dragon Clan's heritage— the True Dragon Treasure Art!

"Reincarnation Mirror, imprint the mark into my primordial spirit!" Zhou Tong that he would definitely not be able to comprehend the True Dragon Treasure Art in a short time. He had to first imprint the mark of this treasure technique into his primordial spirit, and then slowly comprehend it when he had the opportunity in the future.

"Om-long!"

The Reincarnation Mirror trembled slightly, and a mark was directly imprinted on the deepest part of Zhou Tong's primordial spirit.

The True Dragon Treasure Art has been obtained.

The Zhou Tong of today is not the same Zhou Tong of before. In that instant, he hardly used any divine power, not even one percent of it.

"Next, we need to go and see the secret techniques of the True Dragon Divine Medicine from its Lifetime!" Zhou Tong felt a little regretful.

The True Dragon Divine Medicine belongs to the Ruthless Great Emperor in this Lifetime, so it is destined that we will not see its memories of this Lifetime, which means we will not see the Ruthless Great Emperor's secret techniques.

But it doesn't matter. If we can't see the memories of the True Dragon Divine Medicine in this Lifetime, we can see its memories from the previous Lifetime!

As Zhou Tong moved, another scene appeared on the Reincarnation Mirror.

A man appeared on the screen of the Reincarnation Mirror.

This was a disheveled man, tall and imposing, with dragon-scale-like tattoos on his body, possessing an invincible and majestic presence.

"Fuxi!!" Almost instantly, Zhou Tong knew who this person was.

He once obtained an ancient scripture from Great Emperor Fuxi, specifically the Immortal Platform Scroll of the "Fuxi Emperor Scripture".

Therefore, Zhou Tong was quite familiar with the aura of Great Emperor Fuxi.

Zhou Tong became increasingly proficient in using the Reincarnation Mirror, and soon he saw the years when Great Emperor Fuxi was spreading his teachings. Naturally, the complete "Fuxi Emperor Scripture," which contained secret methods and foundational cultivation techniques, also fell into Zhou Tong's hands.

Just then, the True Dragon Divine Medicine flew directly to Xiao Nannan's side, its roots seemingly taking root in her body.

"The True Dragon Divine Medicine, it really is the True Dragon Divine Medicine!" Tu Fei looked at the True Dragon Divine Medicine, wanting to reach out, but he was also a little embarrassed and hesitant.

This thing is on Xiao Nannan after all; he personally witnessed Xiao Nannan breaking Ye Fan's Ancient Sacred Body curse.

"Ye Fan, it seems this True Dragon Divine Medicine is destined to be yours!" Zhou Tong chuckled. "Keep it safe! Letting Xiao Nannan keep it in her hands might attract the covetous eyes of others."

"Big brother, here you go! Nannan don't need the little golden dragon one!"

The Xiao Nannan was very well-behaved and sensible. Upon hearing Zhou Tong's words, she immediately handed the True Dragon Divine Medicine to Ye Fan.

Even Ye Fan couldn't resist the temptation of the True Dragon Divine Medicine True Dragon Divine Medicine, and he solemnly put it away.

I have a feeling that someone will criticize me for this chapter, saying that I'm all about resources and connections.

I firmly believe in the saying, "If you stand in the right place at the right time, even a pig can fly!"

But the sentence wasn't actually finished.

If it really was a pig, what would happen if it flew up and there was no wind? It would fall and die.

But if it were a slightly smarter pig, it would know that it wasn't flying by its own ability, and would prepare for landing in advance, always ready. Then, when the wind stops, it might be able to land safely.

But what if it's an extremely intelligent and fickle pig? Having experienced the wonders of the sky, it can grow wings, ride the wind, and fly higher and more steadily!

But no matter what kind of pig it is, the first requirement is a wind that allows it to fly; only then can anything else happen. Without this foundation, no matter how clever and adaptable a pig is, if it has never witnessed the beauty of the sky, how can it grow wings? It can only jump around on the ground by its own strength and cannot fly.
