Sikong Jing now naturally understood as well that the so-called peak Emperor Martial Realm had previously referred specifically to the final major realm of the Emperor Martial Stage—the Emperor Realm, also known as the Sovereign Realm...
But there were simply too, too few people who could reach the Emperor Realm.
Therefore, anyone who attained the Emperor Martial Emperor Realm would collectively be called a peak Emperor Martial cultivator, though this was not the true peak.
Because the Emperor Realm still had five minor realms!
The Tyrant Lotus Venerable had previously been at the fourth realm of the Emperor Martial Emperor Realm, and now she had suddenly reached the fifth realm. It was utterly terrifying—just a few months ago, she had still only been a Venerable.
Sikong Jing knew that the Tyrant Lotus Venerable surely had more to say, so he did not ask further and simply continued listening.
"Yes, I've gained enormously, but I'm still just one tiny step short."
The Tyrant Lotus Venerable continued, "I dare not dream of the Saint Martial Stage, but if I want to break free from that old immortal Murong's suppression, I must reach the top-tier Sovereign Realm. If I want a truly powerful voice within the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce, I likewise must reach the top-tier Sovereign Realm."
Sikong Jing naturally understood what she meant.
That old immortal Murong was the Grand Heavenly Judge, Murong Jianyun. To break free from his suppression, she had to become a top-tier Sovereign. Then, at least in martial cultivation, the Tyrant Lotus Venerable would stand on equal footing with the Grand Heavenly Judge.
At that point, the Grand Heavenly Judge would no longer be able to suppress her, and she could truly confront the Thousand Kings Holy Tower for Sikong Jing's sake.
Of course, that was
