Emperor’s Domination - Chapter 3155

Chapter 3155: Chapter 3155: Trinity Eccentric

The title had an interesting history behind it . This was also another thing used by future descendants to show respect .

A gentleman must strive unremittingly on the path towards the dao . This phrase was the meaning behind the title of “Tenacious” since it consisted of “gentleman” and “strive” . [1]

This title was fitting and flattering for the second person to achieve this level . It highlighted his effort on the path towards the grand dao .

Numerous emperors and progenitors have appeared in history . Many of the latter came from big sects; a few hailed from weaker sects or declining systems .

Tenacious’ background was worse and inferior to all of them . He was born as a servant in a rich family in the mortal realm, as lowly as can be . Moreover, his life didn’t change because a cultivator or a sect took notice of him .

Despite being a lowly servant, he still enthusiastically looked for a way to cultivate and become an immortal .

Just imagine, an illiterate servant trying to reach for the dao . This was exceedingly difficult . No sect or cultivation masters bothered taking him in .

Nonetheless, his effort turned him from a lowly servant into a lowly cultivator .

One could argue that his cultivation path was harder than any cultivator . Alas, as time passed, his effort yielded fruit and he became the second Fardao Everlasting .

That’s why his real name no longer mattered nor remembered . People only knew him as “Tenacious” .

For a long trek of time, many ancestors and seniors alluded to Tenacious in order to motivate their young disciples .

They also viewed him as the right role model . Needless to say, the ones with a humble upbringing respected him the most . His stories encouraged many who come from nothing to keep on trying .

That’s why those who knew about him, especially the ancestors, inadvertently had tears in the corner of their eyes after seeing him here .

Some of them came from nothing but eventually became an ancestor since Tenacious’ stories strengthened their dao heart .

Alas, he has fallen into the darkness today, breaking all of his previous prestige and honor . The crowd couldn’t handle the emotional pain after seeing this sight .

“Why, Tenacious…” One famous ancestor murmured .

“Boom!” A powerful force cut off Tenacious’ attack on the tree demon, resulting in an explosion after breaking the stalemate .

“Rumble!” All of the combatants staggered backward from the shockwaves .

Another old man came out from a misty mountain . He still looked to be in high spirits despite his age . His pace was steady, looking quite powerful .

His robe was old but still very clean and made from expensive material . He clearly came from either wealth or nobility .

He didn’t have the aura of a cultivator nor their energy, more like a mortal with the style of a scholar - perhaps a teacher or a researcher from a village .

“Who is that?” Most didn’t recognize him .

“Trinity? Is that you? I’m surprised that you’re still staying at Five Elements . ” Tenacious recognized him .

“Trinity Eccentric!” An ancestor shouted after hearing Tenacious .

If Li Qiye were here, he would recognize this old man as well . This old man tried to betroth a girl from his clan to Li Qiye and even gave him a jade pendant .

Now, the girl was clearly Hui Qingxuan from Five Elements .

“Trinity Eccentric is still alive! Five Elements Mountain is as unfathomable as ever, looks like we’re saved . ” Many ancestors became excited .

The eccentric was the strongest ancestor of Five Elements, the third person to reach the Fardao level .

The trinity - heaven, earth, and man . Rumor has it that he was an erudite scholar who knew virtually everything .

His knowledge earned him just as much respect from future descendants as his cultivation level .

For a long period of time, even the brilliant progenitors would come to him in order to find answers to their questions . He normally would easily solve these problems .

The spectators couldn’t believe it . There were two Fardao and four progenitors right now, no, five when counting the tree demon . This might be historically unprecedented .

“Senior, your fame precedes you . I had nothing but admiration for you during my youth . You were my role model . ” Trinity stared at Tenacious and became emotional .

“I’m not a great man to be admired and I never accomplished anything worthwhile . My life is a series of struggles in order to survive, that’s all . As for the motivational stories and legendary dao heart? That’s beautified by future descendants, a forced interpretation at best . ” Tenacious shook his head and calmly said .

To earn such fame was some people’s lifelong goal . However, Tenacious didn’t care for being a paragon of virtues .

“You’re right, Senior . We needed motivation for our own desires, we never thought about your feelings . ” Trinity pondered for a bit before agreeing .

The spectators eventually understood as well, especially the ancestors . Everyone used Tenacious’ achievements to motivate themselves . Alas, no one understood his bitter struggle .

He never considered himself to be a great man . His only goal was to survive .

“It’s fine, all in the ephemeral past now . ” Tenacious chuckled .

“I never expected you to take on this path, Senior . ” Trinity said with a tinge of regrets .

This feeling resonated with the crowd who viewed him as a role model . He must have experienced untold pain and suffering, allowing his dao heart to be firmer than anyone . Alas, this still wasn’t enough .

“I am still me, the same as before . It is a choice made in order to survive . I’ve been alone ever since my dao debut, Three Immortals has nothing to do with me . ” Tenacious calmly answered .

1 . I had a long note in the last chapter about this title without context . It started with Lordstopper (literal), then Preeminence (interpretation/guess) . I also thought about keeping it pinyin as Junxi . The two words just had too many meanings . Now that the author has given the context and explanation, this makes it much easier . All of my interpretations were wrong .
