Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 65 Eastern Region News Report

Yunyang City was merely the first stop on the journey of the Black Market Yipintang group.

The young master of the Black Market First-Class Hall is not always present; he is selected approximately every thirty years.

The previous generation's young master's cultivation was already unfathomable, having ventured into the realm of sainthood, and he no longer interfered in the struggles below the level of half-saint.

From the time Zifeng Star Envoy was chosen to the time Di Yi became the young master, a period of about twenty years, the reputation of the younger generation of the Black Market First-Class Hall was generally slightly inferior to that of the righteous geniuses of the Eastern Divine Land.

Now that the young master and the Seven Fiends have returned to their positions, the First-Class Hall has naturally begun a major offensive to challenge the young prodigies of the Eastern Divine Land.

Starting from Yunyang City, Emperor Yi and his party traveled to many places, challenging the Eastern Region Holy King's Mansion, Martial Market Academy, various holy clans, Liangyi Sect, and various second- and third-rate sects.

The opponents ranged from the Earthly Realm to the Fish-Dragon Realm, and naturally, Emperor Yi couldn't face them alone. Most of them were taken on by the Seven Fiend Star Envoys.

Nestled at the foot of the western section of the Fallen God Mountain Range lies the Liangyi Sect, the largest sect in the Eastern Region, known as the head of all sects.

On a desolate plain within the territory of the Liangyi Sect, Orange Moon Star Envoy Murong Yue was fighting against a tall young man dressed in a Taoist robe.

Murong Yue possesses the innate Yin Moon Body and cultivates the [Heavenly Demon Dark Moon Diagram] from the thirty-six Heavenly Demon Stone Carvings. After breaking through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm, her martial arts true energy transformed into [Dark Moon Demonic Qi], which is cold, domineering, and is one of the best true energies in the world.

However, the young man in the Taoist robe who fought her was not afraid at all. With every move he made, he unleashed pure Yang energy as hot as the blazing sun, suppressing Murong Yue.

Murong Yue's martial arts cultivation had reached the peak of the middle level of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, while the young man in the Taoist robe looked like he had only just entered the middle level of the Heavenly Extreme Realm. His cultivation was slightly inferior, but his combat power was three points stronger. He was clearly a genius who had reached the Seven Absolutes.

Not far away, two low-level fifth-tier golden elephant beasts were pulling a dragon-patterned magic cloud chariot.

Emperor Yi sat on the treasure carriage, with Zi Yuan and Han Qiu standing behind him, while Yan Long lazily coiled up to one side.

"It looks like the Orange Moon Star Envoy is going to lose," Zi Yuan said in a low voice, frowning.

Di Yi put down the latest issue of the Eastern Region Chronicle. His own name was prominently displayed on the cover. The Eastern Region Chronicle was compiled by the imperial court with the help of great Confucian scholars and sages, and was overseen by the Holy Book Talent, one of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maidens under Empress Chi Yao.

It records all the major events that have recently occurred in the Eastern Region. The news that Di Yi defeated Bu Qianfan with a single glance is on the front page. It describes some of Di Yi's experiences and also includes some speculations from the talented woman of the Holy Book.

She speculated that Di Yi's mental strength was already close to level forty, and his mastery of illusion was extremely high. He might have already stepped into the threshold of an illusion master. When he fought Bu Qianfan, he grasped the weakness in Bu Qianfan's heart and was able to win without a fight.

It must be said that this capable aide under the Empress was indeed well-informed and knowledgeable, and guessed most of the details.

Besides himself, Di Yi also saw a familiar name near the end of the Eastern Region Chronicles, which was related to the Heavenly Demon Ridge.

Zhang Ruochen, a disciple of the Martial Arts Academy of Tianmo Ridge, broke into the top 100 of the Earth Ranking, becoming the first person from Tianmo Ridge since Luo Xu.

"Judging by the time, Zhang Ruochen should already be preparing to venture into the underwater dragon palace."

This time, without his interference, the journey to the underwater dragon palace might go more smoothly?
Di Yi naturally wanted to obtain the Dragon Relic, but unfortunately, this opportunity was simply out of his reach.

The Golden Dragon was the mount of the Buddha Emperor. It had a past connection with the Ming Emperor and was acquainted with Zhang Ruochen from eight hundred years ago. That's why it entrusted the Dragon Relic to Zhang Ruochen. Even if it went there, it wouldn't be able to enter the Golden Dragon's tomb. It would most likely be a wasted trip.

In the original timeline, Di Yi went to find the Dragon Relic because he wanted to use its power to break through to the Supreme Realm of the Earthly Realm. Now that he has reached the Supreme Realm, the Dragon Relic is no longer so important to him.

Moreover, he did not learn about the Dragon Relic from the saints of the Black Market First-Class Hall, so it is likely that this information did not belong to the Black Market First-Class Hall, but came from the Xia family.

Since Di Yi did not become a member of the Xia family, no one mentioned this opportunity that was originally arranged for him.

He suddenly thought of Xia Shaoyang. After Yunyang City, he hadn't heard any news about him for a while. Could it be that he went to Tianmo Ridge to seize the Dragon Relic? Thinking of this, Di Yi felt that the possibility was very high. Although Xia Shaoyang, who possessed the Thick Earth Body, was slightly inferior to the Saint Body and Demon Heart of the same realm, he was still a very oppressive opponent when facing Zhang Ruochen, who had a mortal body.

"The battle between the Earth Body and the Time-Space Successor is quite interesting, but it's a pity we can't witness it."

Di Yi didn't dwell on it any longer and focused his attention back on the battle at hand.

Murong Yue was ultimately defeated, unable to defeat the young man in the Taoist robe, and retreated back to the group of Yipintang.

"Young Master, your subordinate is incompetent and has been defeated by Gai Hao."

“Gai Hao is the most talented person in the Fish-Dragon Realm of the Two Elements Sect. He possesses the Yang Spirit Saint Body and has also cultivated the sect’s treasured technique, Taiji Innate Dao. It’s not shameful for you to lose to him. Go back and recuperate.” Di Yi’s expression was calm, and he did not hold him accountable for his defeat.

Standing behind him, Han Qiu felt a mix of emotions upon hearing the words "Liangyi Sect" and "Taiji Xiantian Dao". She had left Yuntai Sect and walked out of Tianmo Ridge originally to go to Liangyi Sect to seek Taiji Xiantian Dao, but unexpectedly, she now stood on the opposite side of Liangyi Sect and became the maid of the young master of the black market.

However, every cloud has a silver lining.

As Han Qiu felt the dark power within his body returning to calm, and his martial arts cultivation at the Heavenly Realm, he suddenly felt that perhaps the path he was now on was the more correct one.

Whether the Taiji Primordial Dao can truly balance the power of the Dark Body remains unknown. No matter how knowledgeable Zhang Ruochen is, he is only a prince of a lower-level prefecture in Tianmo Ridge, and what he says may not be correct.

However, the Heavenly Demon Black Hole Diagram can indeed control the Dark Body. Han Qiu has personally experienced this. If it weren't for Di Yi's help after cultivating the Heavenly Demon Black Hole Diagram, she wouldn't have been able to break through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm.

"Young Master, let me go and meet Gai Hao?" Ye Honglei volunteered.

Emperor Yi glanced at her and shook his head, saying, "Your cultivation is only at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm. You are no match for Gai Hao. I will take action myself."

After breaking through to the Heavenly Realm, thanks to the solid foundation he laid in the previous three realms, and with the support of countless cultivation resources that the young master of the First-Class Hall could obtain, his cultivation progressed extremely quickly. In just a few months, he had already reached the peak of the minor extreme position of the Heavenly Realm.

In martial arts cultivation, the speed of advancement slows down as you progress. Martial artists in the Heavenly Realm often reach the early stage of the Heavenly Realm in their thirties, but may not reach the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm even in their seventies or eighties. Even for a first-rate genius like Huang Shenyi, the time spent in the Heavenly Realm is far greater than that of the previous three realms.

Di Yi, however, seemed to be going against the grain. His accumulation in the first three realms of martial arts was too profound, reaching the supreme realm three times. He also cultivated two Heavenly Demon Stone Carvings and even initially achieved the Five Elements Divine Demon Body. His speed in refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was far beyond what others could match.

If Han Qiu could completely control the Dark Body, he might be able to barely compare with him by relying on the Dark Body's devouring attribute. However, without external assistance, no one else could possibly achieve such a cultivation speed.

Gai Hao's cultivation reached the middle level of the Heavenly Realm because he was over twenty years old and had cultivated for several more years.

Only those with a sacred body and exceptional talent can cultivate to the Heavenly Realm before the age of twenty.

Zhang Ruochen was able to cultivate to the Heavenly Realm in just two years for two reasons: first, he was a martial artist who had reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm in his previous life, and his rebirth was equivalent to walking the path of cultivation all over again; second, he possessed the Time-Space Crystal, which at least doubled his actual cultivation time.

Once Zhang Ruochen breaks through to the Fish-Dragon Realm, his cultivation progress will inevitably slow down.

However, Zhang Ruochen possesses the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, a time-space treasure. Once activated, it grants him ten times the cultivation time.

Emperor Yi naturally coveted the time-space treasure, but fortunately, the Kunlun Realm did not only possess the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram as a time-space treasure.

The imperial court possesses the Heavenly Wheel Seal, while the Moon Worshiping Demonic Sect possesses the Primordial Ten Directions Pearl.

The time-space treasure in the black market is called the Tower of Babel. It is located in the Evil Emperor City, where time flows at fifteen times the speed of the outside world. It is even above the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram and second only to the Heavenly Wheel Seal.
