739 Transcendence Method or Living

“What? The Divine Emperor of Silence has also practiced the transcendence method?”

“Did the Divine Emperor of Silence transcend successfully?”

“Isn’t it rumored that the Divine Emperor of Silence has transcended? From the looks of it, this transcendence method is probably true!”

Lin Feng had still underestimated the influence of the Divine Emperor of Silence, because he had never experienced that era at all. The Divine Emperor of Silence dominated the entire universe for a lifetime, and became an eternal legend in the universe.

This was not surprising. Back then, when Divine Heart impersonated the Divine Emperor of Silence, he could make many Divine Kings follow him. Even though the aura of Divine Heart had already fallen to the extreme back then, there were still Divine Kings who were willing to believe him.

This was influence! Divine Emperor Void Sky could not compare to it, no matter what.

As soon as they heard that even the Divine Emperor of Silence had practiced the transcendence method, almost no Divine Venerable doubted the authenticity of the transcendence method anymore. However, Lin Feng shook his head and told the truth, “I must disappoint you, Divine Venerables. As far as I know, the Divine Emperor of Silence did not transcend, but failed instead. He has long fallen.”

Everyone fell silent. The Divine Emperor of Silence had actually fallen.

Actually, the Divine Emperor of Silence had already been too far away from the many Divine Venerables. Some said that the Divine Emperor of Silence had successfully transcended, while others said that the Divine Emperor of Silence had failed to transcend, but there had never been any certainty.

But now, Lin Feng said that the Divine Emperor of Silence had failed to transcend with absolute certainty.

Should they believe it?

“Supreme Grand Emperor, what exactly is the transcendence method you speak of? I think between so many Divine Venerable, we can at least still tell whether it’s real or not.”

The Divine Venerable of Deliverance said solemnly.

Indeed, be it the Divine Emperor Void Sky or the Divine Emperor of Silence, they were just excuses. If he really wanted these Divine Venerables to believe in the transcendence method, he still had to say the transcendence method and let these Divine Venerables see it for themselves.

With the attainments of the Divine Venerables, they would naturally know if it was real.

Lin Feng nodded and said, “The transcendence method is very, very difficult. Even Divine Emperors do not have any guarantee of success. Even if I show everyone the transcendence method, there’s probably not even a ten percent chance of truly transcending. Do you still want to see it?”

“Yes, why not? We have reached the limit of advancements. At most, with chance, we can become Divine Emperors, but what is that worth? The ultimate goal of Divine Emperors is also to transcend. Why don’t we do it in one go and transcend directly? As for the hope being slim, that’s normal. If anyone can transcend, there’s no knowing how many people would already have transcended long ago.”

“That’s right. Even if we’re not fated to transcend, seeing a transcendence method in this life is worth it!”

“The transcendence method is a path, a direction. Even if I can see the direction, I have no regrets in this life!”

“Grand Emperor, please allow us to see the transcendence method.”

The many Divine Venerables said one after another.

Actually, many Divine Venerables knew very well that having the transcendence method did not mean that one could transcend. In fact, the hope was still very, very slim. It might even be that none of the Divine Venerables present could transcend.

However, knowing it was one thing. They would still disregard everything to obtain the transcendence method at all costs.

The reason was very simple. This was the ultimate goal of cultivation, and it was their conviction. Having cultivated to the Divine Venerable realm, they actually no longer had a direction, and could no longer see the way ahead.

Even Divine Emperors were fundamentally no different from Divine Venerables and Divine Kings. They just differed in power levels.

Transcendence was different. It was above all living beings in the universe, above Divine Kings, Divine Venerables, and Divine Emperors, and above nine life transitions. It was the greatest sublimation of life.

This was the essence of cultivation—the sublimation of life!

The transcendence method could allow many Divine Venerables, who had already despaired and given up, to see the way, the direction, and even hope. They were already satisfied.

“Divine Venerables, I invited you here because I’ve already decided to announce the transcendence method. However, before that, you still have to promise me one thing. After all, the method cannot be imparted lightly!”

The eyes of the many Divine Venerables constricted slightly. That’s right, methods could not be imparted lightly. Normally, no one would impart cultivation techniques casually, let alone transcendence method.

If Lin Feng gave them the transcendence method directly and generously, without even needing them to do anything, they would instead doubt the authenticity of the transcendence method.

Now that Lin Feng had made a request, they believed him instead.

“Grand Emperor, if you have any requests, just tell us. We are 20 Divine Venerables. What else in the entire universe can stump us?”

Indeed, with such a lineup, as long as no ancient Divine Emperor appeared, it would not be difficult for them to sweep through the universe.

“My request is very simple. Find the White-robed Fiend Celestial and kill him! As long as the Divine Venerables agree, I will offer the transcendence method immediately!”

Lin Feng mentioned the White-Robed Fiend Celestial again. Only then did the many Divine Venerables remember that Lin Feng had mentioned the White-Robed Fiend Celestial before. Upon careful recall, however, their expressions changed slightly.

They had not paid much attention to it previously, because they still did not know Lin Feng’s strength back then.

But now, they had personally witnessed Lin Feng’s strength, which was comparable to a peak Divine Venerable. In fact, Lin Feng, who had an immortal body, was capable of exhausting any peak Divine Venerable to death.

Even such an expert could not deal with the White-Robed Fiend Celestial. If he had to join forces with 20 Divine Venerables like them to deal with the White-Robed Fiend Celestial, how powerful must the White-Robed Fiend Celestial be?

“Grand Emperor, I’ve heard of this White-Robed Fiend Celestial. He will appear once in a while, but would quickly return to anonymity and disappear without a trace. However, if he’s able to incur Grand Emperor’s wrath, and even Grand Emperor can’t deal with him, how strong is he exactly?”

As one of the most ancient Divine Venerables, the Divine Venerable of Deliverance had naturally heard of the White-Robed Fiend Celestial. After all, the White-Robed Fiend Celestial would appear once in every billion years, and had also caused a certain extent of impact in the universe.

However, the Divine Venerable of Deliverance was already a peak Divine Venerable since a long time ago. Why would he pay attention to such a minor commotion from the White-Robed Fiend Celestial?

Moreover, the White-Robed Fiend Celestial was also very cautious. He did not plant the seeds within the sphere of influence of any Divine King or Divine Venerable, so he naturally could not provoke those Divine Kings and Divine Venerables.

Who would take the initiative to hunt down the White-Robed Fiend Celestial when things had nothing to do with them?

Hence, many Divine Venerables knew almost nothing about the true situation of the White-Robed Fiend Celestial.

“Venerable Gods, the White-Robed Fiend Celestial is a fiend celestial that might overturn the entire universe. He has devoured many lifeforms. Perhaps everyone already knows about it, but his strength is very terrifying. His combat body is infinitely close to that of a Divine Emperor, reaching 800 billion light-years! Moreover, the White-Robed Fiend Celestial has comprehended the ultimate Law of Life. Ordinary cultivators cannot break his immortal body when they encounter him.

“Once he metamorphoses into a Divine Emperor and comprehends the Principle of Life, who in the universe can counter him? That’s why I thought of asking all the Divine Venerables to attack together and kill the White-Robed Fiend Celestial.”

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent. Even the Divine Venerables who had been clamoring to see the transcendence method at all costs fell silent.

Lin Feng did not say anything. He only swept his gaze across the many Divine Venerables. A smile appeared on his lips, as if in self-mockery.

All that talk about giving one’s life to know a way being worth it, about being willing to learn the transcendence method at all costs, about the only direction, the only hope, was just empty talk.

In a choice of life or death, all of this seemed so pale and insignificant.

All cultivators, even Divine Venerables who had survived for billions of years, would not want to die even if they were bored out of their minds. Once life and death were involved, even Divine Venerables would back out.

Between the transcendence method and living, which was more important?

Lin Feng did not speak. He only waited quietly for the 18 peak Divine Venerables to make their choice.
