Chapter 409 The Level of Imperial Will

But it's okay.

According to Xiao Li's letter, Xue Qingwu is expected to officially enter the pseudo-innate realm within half a month and become an emperor. At that time, Xue Qingwu will make arrangements for her funeral and come with him.

After all, Gu Yun and Xue Qingwu had made an agreement.

For twenty years, they were used by the demons.

At that time, the Shadow Organization will welcome its third Shadow Assassin.

With two emperors in charge and more than a dozen pseudo-innate beings, this lineup is probably unparalleled in the lower realm. I hope everything will be peaceful during my upcoming departure.

As for what to do in the next two weeks, the most important thing is that Gu Yun will not forget to squeeze Chen Yuan dry, as that kid has a lot of good ideas in his head.

After handing the Star Gathering Pearl to Chen Yuan, Gu Yun learned quite a few things from Chen Yuan's shock and forced resignation.

This includes the hierarchy of imperial will.

Later generations divided the Emperor's will into four realms: the Beginning Realm, the Enlightenment Realm, the Mind Realm, and the Realm of Nothingness.

The Initial Realm is the stage after condensing the Emperor's Will, becoming familiar with it, and skillfully using it. Although the explanation is very simple, this stage alone has stumped a large number of people because many cannot find their own path.

The Bright Realm, which is the realm after the Beginning Realm, requires the Emperor to have a deeper understanding of his Imperial Will, or rather, the power of rules contained within it. At the same time, it requires finding a unique path to enhance one's Imperial Will and completing a transformation. According to Chen Yuan, there is no single path. Take his own Nine Netherworld Imperial Will as an example: it can be increased by constantly replacing Netherworld Servants, or by slowly increasing its duration by cultivating its own mist-like state, or by finding certain precious spiritual objects of heaven and earth that have excellent compatibility with his Imperial Will for a leap in growth, and so on. The path to growth for each Imperial Will is different, and one can only explore it on their own.

Simply put, it's like skill level in the game, but you have to figure out how to increase your skill level yourself.

Regarding this point, Gu Yun's Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will is relatively clear, which is also a kind of indirect compensation for Gu Yun. After all, the ability of the Emperor's Will does not mean that you are absolutely invincible. Once the enemy knows the principle of your Emperor's Will, even if you are a pseudo-innate without the Emperor's Will, you may be killed by some external force or by joining forces. Therefore, the ability of one's own Emperor's Will is a secret. However, Gu Yun's Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will has been completely speculated on because it is too active.

Fortunately, because of this, there are predecessors who can teach the path to the growth of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's will. As everyone knows, it is to expand the demon race. However, during his trip to the Dragon Realm, Gu Yun discovered a new method, which is to absorb negative emotions. He is still in the exploratory stage. It seems that he can only absorb negative emotions that have accumulated to a certain extent over the years. He cannot absorb some immediate negative emotions around him, or rather, he does not know how to absorb them. For example, Chen Yuan must be wary of him at this moment.

As for what constitutes a transformation, Chen Yuan told Gu Yun that an emperor can feel this transformation himself, and he couldn't explain it. In this way, Gu Yun knew that he should have completed a transformation.

Because he felt that leap forward.

Next is the Realm of Mindfulness, which represents a further step in understanding one's own imperial will, reaching a qualitative change, and almost all emperors in the lower realms stop here.

Because it requires you to form your own mental domain, which is the product of a qualitative change, and can be understood as the domain of gods and demons in the upper realm.

However, there is a difference between the two. According to Chen Yuan, although the domain of the gods and demons in the upper realm is solid and has a very high level of status as its foundation, it lacks a sense of "true meaning". It can be said that the reverse is also true. It requires the gods and demons to have a very high level of status in order to be able to use it smoothly.

Beings in the lower realms possess a "true intent," so the requirements for their rank are not so rigid. They can act at will, but the duration of their power is much shorter and the range is much smaller than that of the realms of gods and demons. Moreover, even with the blessing of the thought domain, they cannot overcome the gap in rank.

At this point, Chen Yuan couldn't help but proudly show off his Nine Netherworld Domain to Gu Yun, probably because he had suffered too many setbacks at Gu Yun's hands and needed to give Gu Yun a little shock.

Although it lasted less than a breath, it was because Chen Yuan's rank was too low and his imperial will had not yet completed its transformation.

But Gu Yun truly felt something different. The moment he was enveloped by the Nine Nether Domain, his entire body was suppressed, and time seemed to slow down as a result.

With his understanding and accumulation from his previous life, Chen Yuan can be considered a powerful figure who has reached the Mind Realm, only lacking the accumulation of "experience points".

Unfortunately, Chen Yuan's experience in forming a domain could not be replicated for Gu Yun, because it was a natural product of his sudden enlightenment of his imperial will.

However, Chen Yuan suggested that Gu Yun could take a different approach if he had the chance, since in his view, the ultimate goal is the power of rules, and the two paths lead to the same destination.

He didn't need to say it; Gu Yun had thought the same thing all along.

In Gu Yun's view, the difference between the upper and lower realms is that, just like when you want to solve a problem, in the upper realm you arrive at the answer by thinking step by step, while in the lower realm the answer is given to you directly, and you have to work backward to find the answer yourself.

Although you can get some points with the correct answers in the early stages, if you can't grasp the key to solving the problem, you will never make progress. On the contrary, once you grasp the key, you will inevitably submit a perfect answer because you have the correct answer. Therefore, the lower realm emperors have the ability to suddenly realize their own domain.

Of course, this is just a rough analogy, after all, Gu Yun also knows that the origin of rules is something that beings in the lower realm cannot know.

At the same time, the transformation of imperial will spans the realms of clarity and mind, which means there is a saying that there are five transformations in the realm of clarity and three transformations in the realm of mind. The difference between the realm of clarity and the realm of mind is the level of understanding of imperial will, whether it is sufficient to expand the domain of mind.

At this point, Gu Yun finally had a clearer understanding of the power displayed by his imperial will.

A transformation in the realm of enlightenment.

This should be the current level of my imperial will.

That's all Chen Yuan knew.

As for the final boundless realm.

In his previous life, at least within Chen Yuan's knowledge, it was said that no one had ever reached this level, so this level was also known as the Realm of No One.

Because achieving limitless success means mastering the true power of rules.

Even gods and demons struggle for tens of thousands of years to reach this level, and they may not be able to obtain it.

Although beings in the lower realms are blessed with the original rules, it is still as difficult as ascending to heaven. Not to mention that the history of the imperial will is less than a thousand years, and many things were still in the exploratory stage even in Chen Yuan's time.

However, Gu Yun didn't care. Knowing so much advance information was enough. Those who truly mastered the rules were beings at the level of gods and demons, far beyond his reach.

You have to walk the road one step at a time, and eat the food one bite at a time.
