Chapter 1188 Dao Banquet: Emperor\'s Sermons
The Emperor Area soon proved extraordinary, as no one had a sermon that lasted more than 1000 years. More Dao Rhymes spilled into the Myriad Emperor World, making the entire world more extraordinary.
There are usually only 3800 Great Emperors in each generation, but this one was special, so the total number was 4500 ⌜ an extra 700. Considering the ones who hid themselves or died during all the wars, the number of participants was 4250. The Emperor Area did not have enough people for rounds of 1000, so things had to be adjusted to rounds of 200.
With such a small population, the time for the first Sword Emperor to preach soon arrived, and Wang Wei chose a slightly controversial individual - Dugu Jing. The Golden Sword Emperor was a controversial figure in the world of swordsmanship. Dugu Jing was the second most powerful Sword Emperor in this generation and third overall in achievement behind Wang Tian and Ji Lanfang in pure sword skills. However, he\'s not a pure swordsman, meaning he was rejected by the Extreme Sword Path.
The Ultimate Path embraced him since he tempered his body, but they did not like that his main Dao was Metal/Gold and had nothing related to swordsmanship; many people still considered him a Sword User despite his skills and accomplishments. As such, the fact he was the first sword speaker was slightly controversial. However, Wang Wei did not care about all these things and directly chose him.
Dugu Jing proved his worth as he preached about swordsmanship and the Metal Dao, lasting 2933 years. The swordsmen were more than satisfied with their sermon, while the Metal Dao people almost cried tears of joy. Five Elements is still the most widespread Dao, so plenty of Emperors and Immortals of the Metal Dao or Five Elements exist.
The banquet continued with the current streak of a minimum of 1000 years of preaching. The first wave of swordsmen was very rewarding since many people decided to use this event for a battle between the Extreme and Ultimate Path.
Soon, it was time for the first Alchemist to preach, and Wang Wei chose the Heavenly Emperor from the Myriad Pill World without hesitation. The elderly man lasted 2915 years, slightly less than Dugu Jing. However, his record was the second-best so far in this section.
The Emperor Area continued its brilliant streak, slowly pushing the event to its peak. There were not many Alchemist Emperors, meaning they only had one round. Then, it was time for the last Alchemist to preach, and Wang Wei chose the very best - Yan Liling.
She was excited as this was an opportunity to re-organize her [Pill Sage Sutra], which she had perfected the first volume after listening to so many brilliant minds. Her next focus was on the part involving Fate Dao, and she was confident in creating the outline/prototype after listening to her big brother\'s sermon.
Yan Liling proved to the world why she deserved the title of Pill Sage Empress, as her sermon focused on fundamental skills for alchemists. These pill refiners felt as if they had returned to their young days when their teacher taught them the basics. At first, they were slightly disdainful. After all, they are Great Emperors; haven\'t they mastered the basics already?
However, just as swordsmen can take basic skills and elevate them to the level of Dao, Yan Liling showed them there were levels to this. Many of them felt shameful and decided to focus more on the fundamentals from now on.
Her sermon lasted 3000 years, and she became the second person to achieve perfection in this banquet. The Alchemists bowed to Yan Liling, and she calmly received them.
The next 200 normal preachers were nothing special since Wang Wei saved the best for last. However, they did not embarrass this section by preserving the three-digit roll. Next was the Array Masters\' turn, but their number was too small. In fact, the number of Array Masters, Weapon Refiners, Talisman Makers, and Puppeteers barely reached 200, with only five people who proved the Dao with Puppet Dao. So, Wang Wei combined them together into one group.
This round of preaching was underwhelming because only Talisman Makers had a superstar. The best of them was a Weapon Refiner that lasted 2700 years, and Puppet Dao proved to be the weakest of the professions. Although Wang Wei\'s new way of fighting improved the status of Puppeteers, it did not change the fact they were last in all areas. This fact might not change until Cai Song proves the Dao, and with her more loner/introverted personality, that might not change if she does not actively do something.
Tong Ruobing was the last professional to preach; as expected, she was phenomenal. Her sermon focused more on runes to make it more universal for everyone, followed by the resonance with other Daos. She went on for 3000 years, becoming the third perfection of this event. When she opened her eyes to see the vast Dao Rhymes of the sect, she wished she could secretly steal some to bring back home.
Once everyone digested this perfect sermon, the 200 regular preachers passed without any incident, and the general result was the best without anyone spending less than 1500 years. It was now the swordsman\'s turn again, but they only had 23 people remaining, and each sermon was better than the previous until it was Ji Lanfang\'s turn.
No matter how the Extreme Path swordsmen felt about Ji Lanfang, they must admit the man was powerful and talented. His sermon talked about the sermon - until he started talking about the heretical Sword and Sword Realm. Regardless of how these people felt, Ji Lanfang had an excellent sermon. Sadly, it lasted 2999 years, missing that mark on perfection. People felt it was a shame, but Ji Lanfang was relatively nonchalant about the result.
The event continued, and only two people displayed extraordinary abilities: the twin Barbarians. Feng Heng did not kill them after rectifying Buddhism in their world, so they attended this event, both lasting 2875 years.
Finally, the event reached its concluding state, in which only the very best remained. In that group, the first to preach was Ye Dafu\'s wife, the Nine Serpent Empress. She preached for 2976 years, focusing on bloodline, thus benefiting the demon race or other cultivators with a potent bloodline.
The person after the Serpent Empress was Shi Qian, the only Emperor of the Light Race. Her sermon garnered some attention since she focused on tricks of using Karma to find your enemy\'s Dao Imprints and kill them as soon as possible. She lasted 2980 years.
Wang Wei decided to have the woman first in the final section, so the third person was the Demon Suppressing Emperor. She talked about her status as Human and Heaven Emperor, with a sprinkle about the spirit, drawing inspiration from her life and struggle. She went on for 2985 years.
Xu Shi was next, and she talked about Chaos. She made her sermon as universal as possible, with some emphasis on the Dao Heart and its correlation with music. Her result was the same as Ji Lanfang\'s - 2999 years.
Xi Shangyan, the only member of the Celestial Race in the lower dimension, followed after the Void Time Empress. Her sermon was only 2995 years old, but it was special because she improved the Turtle King\'s technique, allowing the maximum capacity to reach a 35% boost.
Yu Yan was next, and she did not shame her son as her sermon reached 2997 years. Wrath, who was no longer a controversy because of her identity, was next, and she had the same result; she made the Neo-Devils proud. Huo Fenghuang was the last woman to preach; her result was 2998 years.
It was finally the men\'s turn, and only three people remained - not counting Wang Wei. Mu Lei went first, and he lasted for 2994 years. Ye Dafu, despite his personality not being suited for this kind of thing, preached for 2997 years; he even included his fighting experience in the sermon. Finally, Ao Shen went last; his sermon was also about bloodlines, and he continued on for 2998 years. It irked him that he had the same time as that woman, but he could do nothing now.
Everyone opened their eyes as the main event was about to start. All eyes were on Wang Wei, waiting for him to speak. Before he could say something, Wang Wei sensed something and looked at Sage Duan Ru. The man had reached his limit and was about to dissipate and enter Samsara. He pointed at him and bought him more time.
Wang Wei then waved his hand to summon more Enlightened Tea. The guests were overjoyed and quickly drank it. They also felt anticipation for this last act - no, the act before the last.
