Amidst the divinity show.
Soft Feathers speech is coming to an end.
All the practitioners in the universe are enthralled, and wish that the first Sage in a thousand years could keep speaking forever.
Although Soft Feathers looked calm, she felt huge pressure at this moment. She felt as if countless eyes were staring at her all the time, making her feel rather uncomfortable.
Along with her speech coming to an end, the sound of the Great Way gradually settles down, becoming lower and lower.
All the practitioners in the universe understood that it was a sign that the speech of the Profound Sage is about to come to an end.
"Is it about to finish?"
"What, already?! Profound Sage Soft Feather, please continue for a little more!"
"I wish I could use all the good deeds I've accumulated to let Profound Sage Soft Feather continue with this speech forever!"
The 'wishes' of the practitioners in the universe turn into a mysterious power that heads toward Soft Feather it was something akin to the 'power of faith'.
When this power of faith fell onto Soft Feathers body, it changed into a huge amount of power of virtue that blended into her body.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere is shattered by the appearance of an unexpected figure - Zenith Heaven Emperor.
Gasps of shock and surprise ring out throughout the audience. It is commonly considered to be impossible to enter the Tribulation World without transcending the tribulation to become a Sage. Yet here stands a mysterious figure, who has seemingly broken through the barriers of space and time to join them in this realm.
The cultivators are in awe, and some even question their own understanding of the world.
"How is this possible? How can someone enter the Tribulation World?"
"I have never heard of such a thing happening before. Is this a sign of a great change to come?"
Many of the practitioners are humbled by the sight of the mysterious figure, realizing that there is still much they do not know about the workings of the universe.
"I never thought I would witness such an event in my lifetime. Truly, the universe is full of mysteries and surprises."
All eyes are fixed on him as he steps forward, his hair a striking contrast of black and white. His mere presence commands a sense of awe and reverence from the onlookers, and for a few moments, the audience remains silent as they take in his presence.
Soft Feather is taken aback, her heart racing with excitement and disbelief. She had never expected that Zenith Heaven Emperor would appear before her and her audience. As she gazes upon his face, she feels a sense of inspiration and awe wash over her.
As the shock subsides, Zenith Heaven Emperor begins to speak, his voice carrying the weight of years of experience and wisdom. The audience listens intently, eager to learn from his words and teachings. Soft Feather can feel the energy in the room shifting, as though the heavens themselves were listening to the words of the Emperor.
"Soft Feather, you spoke well" says Zenith Heaven Emperor, his voice carrying a weight that commands attention. "The Path of Heaven is indeed all-encompassing, balancing everything in existence. But there is more to it than just that." He continues, seemingly wanting to conclude the speech.
Soft Feather now realizes why she felt that the speech she gave wasn't finished 'This was his plot from the start, wasn't it', she thinks to herself.
He pauses, as if gathering his thoughts, and then continues, "The Path of Heaven is not just a philosophy or an abstract concept. It is a living force, a power that permeates every aspect of existence. It is the guiding principle that governs the universe, and it is through the Path of Heaven that we can find true enlightenment." He says, before shocking the entire All Heavens and Myriad Realms with the words that follow.
Zenith Heaven Emperor's voice echoes through the entire All Heavens and Myriad Realms as he continues his speech, "However, the Path of Heaven is not without its dangers. There is a trap, a trap that has ensnared eight generations, including the current Heaven. When all the Eternal Life Beings and Tribulation Immortals fight in the Vying of the Heavenly Way, this trap has already won."
The crowd falls silent as they contemplate Zenith Heaven Emperor's words. The idea that even all Heavenly Way's fell to a trap is a sobering thought. But Zenith Heaven Emperor continues, his voice unwavering, "The trap is the position of the Wielder of Heaven. It is a position of great power, but also great danger. Those who hold this position are at the mercy of the Path of Heaven, they may be able to wield the Heavenly Way's Power and Authority, but ultimately they are restricted by the Way of Heaven. Many have tried to transcend this position, but none have succeeded. The Wielders of Heaven that are imperishable and inextinguishable have 'died' trying."
"I can't believe it," says one cultivator, shaking his head. "Even the most powerful beings can fall to a trap."
"I've always suspected that there was something more to the position of the wielder," says another, stroking his beard. "But I never imagined it could be a trap."
Hearing the mysterious man's words, many cultivators speak up, "But if even the wielders that are imperishable and inextinguishable have failed, what hope is there for the rest of us?"
Due to Zenith Heaven Emperor having long surpassed the stage of a Profound Sage, he, just like any Profound Sage, can hear what the myriad practitioners say, as long as enough say the same.
Hearing their doubts, Zenith Heaven Emperor replies, "That is precisely the point. The position of the wielder is not something to be taken lightly. It requires a deep understanding of the Path of Heaven, and even then, success is not guaranteed. But it is through mastering the Path of Heaven that one can truly transcend the trap of the wielder."
As they ask, "How can we master the Path of Heaven?" Zenith Heaven Emperor only mysteriously replies, "You'll find out the moment I transcend the Heaven".
Just all practitioners in All Heaven and Myriad Realms think that the sermon is truly about to end.
I pause for a moment, before using the Secret Sound Transmission Technique before sending this secret message to a selected few, "But do not despair, for there is a way to overcome this trap. It is only through mastering the Path of Heaven that one can truly transcend it. The Path of Heaven is a living force that permeates every aspect of existence. It is the guiding principle that governs the universe, and it is through the Path of Heaven that we can find true enlightenment. Only by mastering the Path of Heaven can one truly transcend the position of the wielder and become truly free."
Soft Feather gasps in surprise as she receives the Secret Sound Transmission, her eyes widening in shock as she hears the message. "Mastering the Path of Heaven? Transcending the position of the wielder?" she whispers to herself, her mind racing with the possibilities.
In the Nine Provinces (1) Group, the chat explodes with activity as the members react to the shocking news. "What?! Mastering the Path of Heaven? Can it really be done?" asks Northern River's Loose Cultivator, his voice tinged with disbelief.
"Did anyone else know about this?" asks True Monarch Yellow Mountain, his usually calm demeanor replaced with a look of excitement. Then he continues, "This is an important discovery. We must investigate this further and learn all we can about the Path of Heaven."
"I've never even heard of the Path of Heaven before," admits Thrice Reckless Mad Saber, his tone curious. This can be considered especially despairing if one considers that he is the reincarnation of the Ruism Holy Man
Suddenly, Fairy Lychee sends a message, "I can't believe it. The Path of Heaven is the key to transcending the wielder's position? This is truly incredible!"
Su clan's Seven chimes in, "This is truly a revelation. I always thought that the position of the wielder was absolute."
Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue says, "I have always been fascinated by the mysteries of the universe, and the Path of Heaven is truly one of its greatest mysteries. We must all strive to unlock its secrets."
As the chat continues to buzz with activity, it becomes clear that everyone is shocked by this revelation. The idea of transcending the position of the wielder and becoming truly free is a tantalizing prospect, and everyone is eager to learn more about this mysterious Path of Heaven.
