Time flowed on. In the depths of seclusion, time had become the most meaningless thing.
Especially for Yang Qing now, after proving Dao and becoming Emperor, how difficult was it to take another step forward?
Throughout the long ages, the Mythological Era had Heavenly Venerates, the Primordial Era had Ancient Emperors, and the Ancient Desolate Era had Great Emperors.
All of them had been incomparably gifted, standing at the pinnacle of their respective eras. The invincibility they had fought their way to contained no falsehood.
Yet after proving Dao and becoming Emperor, the strength of these once-invincible experts had mostly stagnated.
In other words, after proving Dao and becoming Emperor, it was almost impossible to continue improving one's strength.
Only a rare few peerless geniuses could take that crucial step at the utmost limit and enter an entirely new realm.
Yang Qing was currently undergoing sublimation at the utmost limit, breaking through his own shackles in hopes of advancing another step.
"Azure Emperor transformed from an Immortal Medicine into a living being, the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor's Divine Silkworm Eleven Transformations, and the Ruthless Great Emperor's Indestructible Heavenly Art!"
Yang Qing had gained immensely from this journey. From Azure Emperor, he had seen the mystery of an Immortal Medicine transforming into a living being.
From the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor, he had seen the Divine Silkworm Eleven Transformations, a world-shocking transformation on the path to immortality.
Even the Feathered Great Emperor's unconventional method of replacing a Sacred Spirit through possession had given him considerable inspiration.
In the Ancient Forbidden Land, he had even met the Ruthless Great Emperor twice. He now had a certain understanding of this exceptionally gifted Great Emperor.
Everyone had their own path. Though all paths pointed toward the same goal, they differed vastly.
