Chapter 4011: Devouring Realm
etian has been able to map out thousands of Dao Realms based on their memories.Although the map is not very detailed, it is basically accurate.Ginger Cloud hadn't expected Xiao Letian to be so thought...As an emperor, Emperor Xuanyuan's understanding and appreciation of atmosphere naturally far surpassed that of others.
Therefore, only he felt this illusory humanoid figure enveloping Jiang Yun, as if guarding him. It exuded an aura similar to that of a painting or a scene.
The reason why Emperor Xuanyuan couldn't be sure was because this aura was indeed rather weak, even seeming as though it might disappear at any moment.
And as the flames burned fiercely, Gu Bingyan and Xing Yi, the brothers, could no longer see what was inside the flames. They could only see that ball of fire encasing Jiang Yun and the illusory figure, suspended between heaven and earth, as if it had existed since time immemorial.
Only Emperor Xuan Yuan, who was hiding in the ginger clouds, could still see that the flames on the illusory giant figure were growing stronger and stronger! Suddenly, Emperor Xuan Yuan couldn't help but exclaim: "No, this is not the flame released by that wisp of emperor's intent, it's... belonging to Ginger Cloud himself!"
"Could it be..." After Emperor Xuanyuan discerned that the flames burning on Jiang Yun and the illusory figure were of two distinct types, a thought he found hard to believe suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Ginger Cloud, merge with that Emperor's aura!"
All cultivators want to go and see the Emperor's Path, just to comprehend the Emperor's realm from it.
And the grand emperor's intent is the essence of the grand emperor's path, the fundamental principle of a certain grand emperor's cultivation. Naturally, it can be integrated with one's own path of cultivation.
The imperial aura that Qisiyuan possesses is drawn directly from the path of an emperor, truly invaluable and incredibly precious.
Even though Qisi Yuan's identity was distinguished and he was favored by Cang Lao, receiving this trace of the Emperor's Realm, he only had the right to use it, not the qualification to merge it.
However, comprehending the Grand Emperor's realm is akin to seeking enlightenment on the path of a Grand Emperor. Generally speaking, even the weakest individuals must reach the Void-suspended Realm and become Heavenly Venerable powerhouses before they are eligible to glimpse the path of a Grand Emperor.
If one's realm is too low and they forcefully try to look, there is a high probability that due to insufficient strength and an incomplete understanding of the path of cultivation, they will be backlash by the Emperor's Path and even lose their way.
And to merge with the Grand Emperor's intent is to integrate it with one's own path of cultivation.
It won't increase your cultivation level, but it will widen and lengthen your path of cultivation.
To achieve this, besides needing formidable cultivation, the most important thing is that your path of cultivation must include the grand emperor's intent that you have integrated.
Just like how Ginger Dumplings's this strand of the Grand Emperor's intent is fire-based, wanting to fuse with it requires one to have cultivated fire power as well.
This is also why, although Gu Bingyan greatly envies Qi Siyuan's possession of the Emperor's realm, he does not try to seize it.
Gu Bingyan's path of cultivation is the icy way, completely opposite to the realm of fire.
If he truly attempts to merge with this wisp of fire's essence, not only will there be no effect, but the possibility of being backlashed is far greater than that of other cultivators.
Consequences can range from minor injuries such as a significant fall to death.
While there are many different ways to integrate the Grand Emperor's Realm, most cultivators choose the method of gradual integration. This involves incorporating bits and pieces of the Grand Emperor's Realm into their own cultivation path.
The entire process requires extreme care and precision, and it takes a considerable amount of time.
From a few days to a few months, even several years or even hundreds of years are possible! But right now, Ginger Cloud is not only fusing the emperor's realm, but because what he swallowed was the realm of fire, he is actually using his own fire to directly fuse with it, no, to devour this thread of emperor's realm! Devouring and merging represent two completely different meanings and attitudes.
The former is domineering and tyrannical, while the latter is cautious and prudent! This is what made even Emperor Xuanyuan find it unbelievable.
Jiang Yun, who had only entered the reincarnation realm for over a month, dared to forcefully devour the Emperor's Realm in such an arrogant manner.
Even if it was just a trace of the emperor's realm, in Emperor Xuan Yuan's view, it wasn't something Jiang Yun could devour.
But after the shock, even the mighty Emperor Xuanyuan didn't know what to do next! Should he let Jiang Yun continue to hang in the air, allowing him to devour the Emperor's realm, or should he take Jiang Yun and leave this place as soon as possible.
Jiang Yun's recent string of battles, especially the appearance of the emperor's realm, has indeed caused quite a stir.
Although Gu Bingyan temporarily shielded this area, no one knows if Jiang Yun can successfully devour the Great Emperor's Realm or how long it will take.
If someone else were to come over after this, and see what's happening, then things would really be in trouble.
Not only will Jiang Yun's identity be exposed, but also the fact that he killed so many prodigies and what happened with Qi Siyuan will be known to everyone.
Now that Ginger Cloud is devouring the Great Emperor's realm, if we forcefully take him away, even the Xuanyuan Emperor wouldn't be able to guarantee that it wouldn't affect Ginger Cloud.
If Jiang Yun originally had a chance to successfully devour and merge with the Great Emperor's realm, but because he took him away, disturbing him, causing him to ultimately fail in his fusion, then this consequence is not something that the Xuan Yuan Emperor would want to see.
"Forget it, let's wait a little longer. No one seems to have noticed us here yet. When someone actually comes by, I'll take him away!"
Ultimately, Emperor Xuanyuan still decided to give Jiang Yun some time and instead released his divine consciousness, instantly covering the entire three layers of the ruins completely.
At the same time, he was also watching Gu Bingyan and Xing Yi and the others.
Unless Jiang Yun dies, these people, he will not let any of them go.
Gu Bingyan and Xing Yi, and others, although they didn't know what Jiang Yun was doing, they had no intention of leaving.
After all, Gu Bingyan was going to take Jiang Yun away and turn him in to the forbidden zone.
...while Xing Yi's brothers needed to see Ginger Cloud die with their own eyes in order to feel completely at ease.
Naturally, they were also too afraid to approach Jiang Yun, so they could only watch from afar.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yun, still enveloped in the flames of two worlds, was engaged in another great battle—a battle between the realm of an emperor and the Dao! As Xuan Yuan had predicted, Jiang Yun was devouring the realm of emperors! It wasn't that Jiang Yun was greedy, but this was his only way to save himself! His body had been burned almost to nothing, relying entirely on his formidable Annihilation Body to continuously repair his flesh while being constantly melted by the flames.
If he wanted to survive, if he wanted to fully recover his physical body, he could only transform this fire realm into something of his own.
Moreover, the grandmaster's intent that the Devouring Emperor possessed was not something Jiang Yun intended. It was because he had no idea how to integrate the grandmaster's intent at all.
But in his thinking, since the emperor's intent and the Dao are a very similar existence, why not simply integrate the emperor's intent into one's own Dao.
Therefore, he would use his fire Dao to devour this Emperor's Intent! However, although his intentions were good, the process was incredibly arduous.
The Emperor, that is truly an existence beyond compare. The realm they leave behind is the culmination of their countless years of cultivation. The power contained within it is unimaginable.
And Dao, compared to the grand Emperor's realm of understanding, appears much shorter in duration. It is a nascent practice, incomplete and even uncertain about its ultimate destination.
Jiang Yun's own time of cultivation has only been a mere few hundred years.
It is conceivable that Jiang Yun wanted to use his Fire Dao to devour the Great Emperor's realm. This would be like a snake trying to swallow an elephant in one gulp. It would not only be extremely difficult, but also if he were careless, he would be swallowed by the elephant in return.
Now, this elephant seemed to be enraged by the actions of Ginger Cloud who wanted to devour it. It bared its tusks and, with its powerful body, began to counterattack!
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated! reasonably explained.”"They were able to eradicate all the monsters within the first-tier region, naturally because they had other cultivators from different realms assisting them!"Although Jiang Yun...
