Chapter 1640: Chapter 995: Speculation About Jiang Hui

Emperor Merciless suddenly stood up, clasped his fists towards Ye Fan and Wushi, and left in a hurry.

The two watched the Cruel Man re-enter the place of closed cultivation, and Ye Fan’s face didn’t show any particularly obvious emotional changes.

Wushi, however, sighed longingly.

He naturally guessed why Fellow Daoist Merciless suddenly bid farewell for no apparent reason.

"Fellow Daoist Merciless has had an enlightenment and can retreat once more to impact the Immortal Emperor’s Realm.

In contrast, although I too have some enlightenment, it’s still far from enough to impact the Immortal Emperor’s Realm again.

Among the three of us, I was the first to step into the Immortal Path Field, yet now I have become the last."

Wushi let out a series of bitter laughs.

He is the first Innate Taoist Body Holy Embryo in history.

Throughout the long years, he left behind famous lines like "At the end of the immortal road, who stands atop, a sight of Wushi leads to emptiness." In the battle with the Emperor, he was the first of the three to enter the Immortal Path Field and was among the earliest to discover the ruins of the Ancient Immortal Domain.

He journeyed ahead of the two.

Yet now, he is behind them.

Though both fellow daoists are life-and-death friends, precisely because of this, the gap in his heart is even greater.

Ye Fan patted Wushi on the shoulder, comforting him: "Brother Wushi, no need to rush. The path of cultivation cannot be hurried. Fellow Daoist Merciless’s breakthrough is the result of her years of accumulation.

As long as Fellow Daoist continues to work hard, success will eventually come one day.

No matter how you look at it, the Immortal Emperor’s Realm is not an insurmountable barrier for Fellow Daoist."

Ye Fan spoke sincerely.

Among those he knew, in terms of the same generation, apart from the Cruel Man, Fellow Daoist Wushi was definitely the next most impressive person to him.

The Innate Taoist Body Holy Embryo, a peerless and rare constitution on par with the Innate Chaos Body.

Many people don’t even dare to think about it, and it may not even be born in numerous epochs. It’s the true embodiment of heaven’s favor and the love of the Great Tao.

Even in the Age of Doom, a person with such a constitution can rise against the current, ascend to the position of Great Emperor, and can be said to have been defying fate since birth.

But the Immortal Emperor’s Realm itself transcends everything, an unprecedented realm. Upon reaching that level, the role of constitution, talent, etc., is minimal. What truly matters is that elusive fruit.

But how to achieve this fruit...

The "Emperor Road" summarized by Senior Emperor Huanfen is considered one way to "pick the fruit."

But this is not the only method.

Though I took inspiration from Senior Emperor Huanfen’s experience, my real success in joining the road’s end was due to methods I summarized during closed cultivation.

Although the experience sounds simple, truly applying it is not easy.

What he said was intended to comfort Fellow Daoist Wushi, but at the same time, there was also genuine hope that Fellow Daoist Wushi could climb to this realm together.

The three have fought to this day with mutual admiration; none of them want to leave anyone behind.

"Haha, then I’ll take Brother Ye’s auspicious words."

Wushi laughed heartily, laughed a few more times, then said:

"Brother Ye, do you think Fellow Daoist Merciless will succeed in crossing into the Immortal Emperor’s Realm this time?"

Ye Fan pondered for a moment: "Fellow Daoist Merciless is extremely talented and has the foundation from the last time. In this retreat, she will give it her all, but whether she will succeed depends on her fortune."

No one can confidently say that success is guaranteed or that failure is certain.

After all, the Realm of Immortal Emperor is unlike any other realm. Although many possess exceptional talents, only a few have truly stepped into this realm.

Moreover, if unsuccessful, there can be varying degrees of backlash from the Great Tao.

It’s already unprecedented that both Fellow Daoist Merciless and Fellow Daoist Wushi could retreat safely after failure.

If they fail again.

Not only will heaven’s might descend, but it may also significantly impact Fellow Daoist Merciless’s Dao heart.

But the trio shares the same mindset: if the Great Tao is like an awe-inspiring mountain peak, they all want to brave the climb, to see and experience firsthand what views lie at the top.

With nothing else to do, the two didn’t leave directly, and instead found a pavilion to chat leisurely while waiting for Merciless to exit seclusion.

"Waiting idly feels lacking in some way, Brother Ye, do you have any wine, preferably Monkey Wine? After such a long closed cultivation, my mouth feels so bland."

Ye Fan waved his hand: "You do think highly. Monkey Wine is Senior Jiang’s thing; how am I supposed to obtain it?"

Mo said Wushi wanted to drink a few sips, but he also really wanted to.

The taste of that Monkey Wine is just too unique. It’s not that a few people haven’t tasted it; Monkey Wine, as the name suggests, is any liquor brewed by the Spiritual Monkey clan, and can be considered Monkey Wine.

While still in the Beidou Star Domain, Ye Fan had tasted Monkey Wine on more than several occasions.

As for Wushi, born with a silver spoon, his father was the Great Success Saint Body, not technically a Great Emperor, but one considered among the strongest of the time.

As for his mother, she single-handedly founded the Heavenly Court and was revered as Queen Mother of the West, a true Human Emperor who once single-handedly invaded the Underworld.

Things like Monkey Wine, among the ranks of worldly fine wines, are not particularly precious, only excelling in their fresh taste, which he naturally also tasted.

Monkey Wine varies by the type of Spiritual Monkey, resulting in different kinds of wine produced.

But this wine is almost the same across the board since there are only a few main ingredients, so the resulting taste is almost the same.
