Emperor’s Domination - Chapter 3248

Chapter 3248: Chapter 3248: Conqueror Vessel

“Is that how you think about yourself?” Li Qiye smiled at the self-deprecating response .

Liu Fuyou fell into silence . He was definitely not stupid, definitely an exceptional one among the first-generation disciples in his sect . However, his cultivation suddenly stopped improving . He tried for a long time before giving up and returning to his birthplace .

“I see that you’re cultivating four different laws, correct?” Li Qiye glanced at him and said .

“You’re right, Young Master . ” Fuyou became startled and answered: “I cultivate two merit laws from my school and two different mental mantras . The merit laws are Eight-armed Devil Ape and Celestial Seal . The two mantras are South Fence and Mad Fiery Bull . ”

He wondered how Li Qiye knew that he was cultivating four different arts at the same time .

“I see . ” Li Qiye chuckled .

He noticed Li Qiye’s confident attitude . It was as if the guy had expected this, figuring it out from a single glance .

“Please correct my mistakes, Young Master . ” Fuyou bowed his head and requested .

Others would think that Fuyou was insane for asking a mortal who hasn’t cultivated a single law . The most knowledgeable and well-educated mortal still couldn’t teach a cultivator anything with regard to cultivation .

Alas, Fuyou who was once considered a genius back at his school was doing just that . His peers would think that he had gone mad from being desperate .

“In recent years, your cultivation had no improvements and even started declining, true?” Li Qiye accepted the bow and continued .

“Right, Young Master . ” Fuyou became increasingly shaken .

He trained extremely hard for a period yet his cultivation still stagnated . Many in the sect knew about this . However, only very few knew that his cultivation was decreasing, not just stagnating .

Normally, cultivation wouldn’t decrease like this while one still had plenty of vitality and youth . This would only occur for someone near-death as their lifespan was running out .

Fuyou was at the prime of his life with ample life force and vitality . Why did his cultivation continuously recede then? He had asked his seniors in the sect before but they couldn’t come up with a diagnosis .

Eventually, he assumed that he wasn’t meant to cultivate . Thus, he said goodbye to his sect and returned to the village .

“Elaborate on your current situation . ” Li Qiye said .

“It was about a year after I reached the grand level of Conqueror Vessel and opened my sixth palace . I was preparing to break through to Enlightened Being Manifestation but my cultivation suddenly stopped improving . ” He had a sad expression at this point . Remember, he was highly viewed by his sect and had plenty of potentials . This issue during the crucial breakthrough took all of this away .

After all, the level of manifestation served as a boundary . Entering this realm meant reaching an entirely new power level .

“Conqueror Vessel and Enlightened Being Manifestation?” Li Qiye looked at him .

Fuyou found this strange because Li Qiye’s eyes made him doubt himself . He didn’t know whether Li Qiye really knew cultivation or not .

“They’re the titles of cultivation realms . ” Fuyou hurriedly explained about the various realms of cultivation .

The epoch was Eight Desolaces . The nine worlds epoch would never return so the previous cultivation system was also gone, no longer suitable . A new system had replaced it .

There were the twelve realms listed from weakest to strongest: Mortal Shell, Iron Skin, Bronze Tendon, Silver Carapace, Violet Marquis Corpus, Conqueror Vessel, Enlightened Being Manifestation, Samadhi Materialization, Yin Yang Celestial, Myriad-form Sanctity, Grand Dao Sacred Physique, and Dao Lord Golden Avatar . [1]

Each realm had three levels - minor, intermediate, and grand .

The highest realm was Dao Lords . These beings could sculpt a golden avatar by this point .

“I see, this is okay, I suppose, not incorrect . ” Li Qiye smiled and shook his head: “The body becomes the vessel of the grand dao while the grand dao becomes the treasury of the body[/ref]

“You know this phrase? Young Master?” Fuyou was surprised because this guy didn’t know anything about cultivation yet just blurted out one of its most famous principles .

“I’ve heard of it before . ” Li Qiye could only smile .

How could he not know about it? He was the one who started this new cultivation system, resulting in new physiques .

However, these titles were given by others . They were different from Li Qiye’s initial grand dao plan but not too far off .

The popular phrase earlier, in particular, has been refined into the world itself and carved into the primordial tree . He himself created it, that’s why he understood its profundities better than anyone else .

“Tell me what you felt while cultivating . ” Li Qiye stopped reminiscing and asked .

“Not much, I just stopped improving after Conqueror Vessel’s grand level . ” Fuyou pondered for a bit before answering: “Absorbing both chaos and worldly energy didn’t do anything . A while later, my vitality would churn as if I didn’t refine enough energy to support my true fate . This made the four symbols in my fate palace shrink and wither . ”

He felt that Li Qiye was his last hope so he didn’t hold anything back while meticulously detailing his circumstances .

The strongest seniors in his sect had no solution to this problem . Right now, he worried that if this continued, one day he would actually drop a realm . Reverting to Marquis Corpus would be too heavy of a mental blow .

“You haven’t cultivated anything outside of these four?” Li Qiye asked .

“Right, when I first joined the sect, I started with the most basic art, South Fence, to build my cultivational foundation . After reaching Silver Carapace, I chose Mad Fiery Bull mantra, using that as the dao foundation . As for merit laws, I chose Eight-armed Devil Ape at first then Celestial Seal afterward . Is there a problem here?” Fuyou hastily answered .

Mantras and merit laws were different . Mantras were purely meant to refine the dao foundation and cultivation . The strongest the dao foundation, the more power later . As for merit laws, they were offensive and defensive techniques .

“Your cultivation is fine . ” Li Qiye said .

Fuyou heaved a sigh of relief because he was afraid of a mistake there . This might lead to qi deviation or in order to fix it, he would need to destroy his dao foundation and start all over .

“If I’m not mistaken, you had a fight before the stagnation . ” Li Qiye added .

“Exactly, but how do you know this? I was wounded after the battle but after taking some pills, I fully recovered, no after-effects . ” Fuyou took a deep breath and elaborated .

“This has nothing to do with the injuries received in battle . I’m sure you lost and overexerted yourself . ” Li Qiye said .

“That’s correct . ” Fuyou agreed .

“You used the bull mantra to channel your vitality and energies in full force, then on one hand, you activated Celestial Seal to attack while using Eight-armed Devil Ape as the defensive measure, right?” Li Qiye speculated .

His speculation left Fuyou astounded .

1 . The author used various words for “body” with these realms . My first attempt included words like “form”, “shell”, “body”, “frame”, “build” and others . This would make it match closely with the Chinese version . However, I chose against it and decided to make it better for reading via omission . I could have just added “physique” to each one, but I thought about it and that would make it sound like a physique cultivation system, which I don’t think this one is entirely . You get the physique after cultivating instead of solely focusing on improving the physique .
