Chapter 1257: Chapter 998: Three Paths_2 Chapter 1257: Chapter 998: Three Paths_2 Currently, his strength was only slightly inferior to that of Frubor and Lily Emperor, yet far surpassed that of ordinary Peak Saint King Realm Ghost Practitioners. Even some who claimed to be Invincible Saint Kings were no match for him in a fight. He was very satisfied and deeply grateful to Lin Yun for granting him such power.
If it weren’t for Lin Yun, his strength would probably have been comparable with Emperor Wu and Emperor Proud. The current Emperor Wu and Emperor Proud weren’t much stronger than before. This was the difference between those with opportunities and those without. With talent and opportunity, one can transform into a dragon upon encountering the right winds. Like Frubor and Lily Emperor, without opportunity, one would end up like Emperor Wu and Emperor Proud. No matter how many hundreds of thousands or even billions of years pass, their strength might not improve much at all.
Moreover, Emperor Wu and Emperor Proud couldn’t enter the High Level Layered Heaven for cultivation without Lin Yun’s permission. The time they had experienced was less than a few hundred thousand years, at most only tens of thousands of years. This was after Lin Yun had later opened up the 37th to 45th layers; otherwise, they would have experienced at most a few thousand years.
Luckily, at the time, Lin Yun didn’t hold a grudge for him attacking, otherwise, he would have been in the same predicament as Emperor Wu and Emperor Proud.
But… it was hard to progress further.
Acquired Ghost Practitioners, stopping at the Peak Saint King…
With this thought, Tri-Eyed Emperor sighed in his heart.
Which cultivator didn’t want to become stronger? Unfortunately, the path ahead was cut off; what could he do about it?
Could it be that his only option was to be reincarnated, to be reborn?
Unconsciously, Tri-Eyed Emperor thought of this possibility, remembering how even the powerful Blood Emperor had chosen to be reborn!
Although Lin Yun had once told him, being a descendant of the Tri-Eyed Divine Clan, there was hope to break through to the Divine Realm if he ventured to the ruins of the Tri-Eyed Divine Clan. Initially, he was excited and hopeful, but as time passed, he gradually sobered up.
The Blood Emperor had said that their Acquired Divine Race had innate defects from birth. Even if he luckily broke through to the Divine Realm, could he advance further?
He already understood that breaking through to the Divine Realm was not the end but a new beginning. Seeing Frubor and Lily Emperor successively break through to the Divine Realm, this thought grew stronger in his mind.
If he broke through to the Divine Realm and was only at the current level of Frubor and Lily Emperor, what difference would it make compared to his current self?
He would still have to face the question of whether or not to be reincarnated and reborn.
“Now, I offer you three choices. First, I can take you to the remnants of the Tri-Eyed Divine Clan, where you might find something to awaken your Tri-Eyed Divine Clan bloodline and compensate for the defects of being an Acquired Ghost Practitioner. However, to what extent you can make up for the deficits of an Acquired Ghost Practitioner, I cannot judge, and even if you do compensate, you will have to walk the path of the Divine Realm step by step.
Second, I have some lower-grade and middle-grade Godhood. After refining the lower-grade Godhood, you can directly become a lesser Divine Domain Realm Practitioner. Then, by refining the middle-grade Godhood, you may reach a median Divine Domain Realm. Currently, I do not have any higher-grade Godhood, but there will inevitably be some in the future. At that time, you can refine it to become a superior Divine Domain Realm Practitioner—even later, if I obtain top-tier Godhood, you could refine it to reach the Peak Divine Realm!
The downside is that after you break through, you will be just an ordinary practitioner within the same Divine Realm tier. Moreover, without higher-grade Godhood, it is very difficult to reach higher realms through your own cultivation!”
Third, is the cycle of reincarnation, but I do not recommend you take this path now, as I cannot currently find your reincarnated body. You would have to awaken on your own and contact me so I could lead you to it. However, the shortcut of a reincarnation birth without significance is meaningless. The real cycle of reincarnation depends on awakening by oneself, which is extremely difficult. In the future, I may have a way to find someone’s reincarnated body. If you choose this path, I suggest you do it then.”
Lin Yun spoke slowly, laying out three paths for Tri-Eyed Emperor.
“Choosing the second path, I could quickly become a median Divine Realm Practitioner? Even possibly reach the Peak Divine Realm in the future?” Tri-Eyed Emperor was shocked by Lin Yun’s narrative, particularly when he explained the second path. After Lin Yun finished, he couldn’t help but respond.
Previously, he had asked Lin Yun about the realms within the Divine Realm. He was well aware that being in the superior Divine Realm was already a formidable existence among countless Divine Realm powerhouses, and the Peak Divine Realm was exceedingly rare.
Even if one was an ordinary presence within the same tier.
He had cultivated all the way to the Peak Saint King Realm and understood very clearly that among the countless cultivators in the world, only a few with truly exceptional talent vastly outmatched ordinary practitioners of their level—one in a hundred at best.
If the Peak Divine Realm truly had only a handful of practitioners, then even if he became an ordinary being among them, he would certainly be an extraordinary existence.
It could be said that this was also a path with endless prospects. 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Especially since, as Lin Yun said, this form of cultivation did not require much effort, just enough high-tier Godhood. Even simply agreeing to it, he could quickly become a middle-tier Divine Realm Practitioner, surpassing the current realms of Frubor and Lily Emperor.
It could be said that this was a very tempting path.
“True, there are many Divine Realm powerhouses in this world. The Peak Divine Realm, even among countless Divine Realm powerhouses, is comparably rare. If you choose the first or third path, you may not reach this realm in the future. Originally, the Tri-Eyed Divine Clan, throughout history, only had one member reach the Peak Divine Realm during the era of opening the heavens and establishing the earth, and the rest only reached the superior Divine Realm at most, which is also not weak.” Lin Yun nodded slightly and said.
