Chapter 1629: Self-Severing of Cultivation Base

hrust his spear fiercely. The Sun Emperor was greatly astonished and hurriedly dodged. Unfortunately, the Sun Emperor's movements were just a bit too slow, as the spear pierced his shoulder, splittin...The town guard of the human race!

Shen Changqing left.

The other party left behind twelve divine lotus seeds and then vanished into thin air.

Gu Xing looked at the twelve divine lotus seeds in front of him, his expression changing constantly, as if he were making a decision.

A moment later.

He opened his mouth and said something.

"Come here!"

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

After a moment of silence, Wu Gan walked in from outside and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I bow before you!"

"Let it be known by Imperial decree, that the Four Great Emperors must appear before me immediately. Let there be no mistake."

"I receive your decree!"

Wu Gan did not dare to ask any more questions and respectfully retreated.

>

The news spread quickly, and before long, the Four Emperors arrived one after another.

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty!"

Dongfang Zhao and others all bowed respectfully.

Gu Xing looked at the few people in front of him, nodding slightly: "Have you all understood why this emperor called you here"

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

"We do not know, Your Majesty, and respectfully await your instruction."

Yang Yi shook his head.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Gu Xing rarely summoned them, and the Four Great Emperors rarely interfered in court affairs.

>

Now that they were suddenly summoned here, Yang Yi and the others couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Gu Xing didn't beat around the bush either, directly handing several jade boxes to Dongfang Zhao and the others.

“This is the lotus seed of creation. Consuming it can change one's aptitude. It is rumored that taking one will allow someone to rival peerless geniuses, and two will push them to their absolute limit.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Your Majesties, you have all diligently served the imperial court for many years, your hard work and dedication are truly commendable. Therefore, I bestow upon you this artifact as a token of my appreciation. May you utilize it to its fullest potential and never squander such a divine treasure!

"Fruit of the divine lotus!"

All of them, including Dongfang Zhao, changed their expressions.

They looked at the two lotus seeds in the jade box in their hands, both feeling a surge of immense energy from them.

No one expected it.

Ancient Xing summoned everyone here, and it turned out he bestowed upon us such a divine object.

Especially when it became clear that the divine lotus seed could change one's aptitude, everyone's breathing quickened.

Only when you truly embark on the path of cultivation can you understand just how crucial the concept of aptitude is.

>

However.

Not everyone can be called a genius, and not every genius can be called unparalleled.

Of the Four Great Emperors, Bai Di Dong Fang Zhao had the strongest natural talent.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But even so, Dongfang Zhao is not to be considered a peerless prodigy.

The other party was able to grow to such a level, all thanks to coincidence.

Such as today.

Leveraging the advantages of being a pioneer.

When Dongfang Zhaixiu entered the realm of Divine Master, he felt like he was walking on eggshells.

Unless one encounters an opportunity in the battlefield between two worlds, further advancement requires some refinement.

The eastern edict is still like this.

As for the others, there's no need to say more.

It can be seen that for the Four Great Emperors, such a divine object as the Causal Lotus Seed placed before them would undoubtedly be a huge temptation.

At this time.

"However, there's a requirement for consuming the Lotus Seeds of Divine Transformation. It's only effective for cultivators with a cultivation base below that of True Immortal and Divine King. Anyone exceeding this realm will find it utterly ineffective."

As soon as those words were spoken.

Suddenly, a bucket of cold water was poured over everyone.

Although their current cultivation levels are not high, they are all not low. They have all stepped into the realm of Dao Xian Shen Masters.

It is basically impossible to take Gorgon fruit.

Looking at the changing expressions of the crowd, Gu Xing waved his hand and said, "The matter of Shenlianzi is very important. Everyone should not easily disclose it. However, how to use it depends entirely on everyone themselves."

If there's nothing else, then you may return now.

"We shall take our leave!"

Then Dongfang Zhao took the jade box containing the divine lotus seed and carefully put it away. Afterwards, he bid farewell and left.

Inside the main hall.

Gu Xing spread his palm open, and the emerald jade box appeared again.

Shen Changqing had given him twelve divine lotus seeds. Now, he had bestowed eight of them, leaving four in his own possession.

How these four lotus seeds are used is worth discussing.

According to Shen Zhen Shou, the lotus seed can cultivate new divine lotuses, so no matter what, this emperor must keep a lotus seed as the foundation of the imperial family.

Even though cultivating a Creation Lotus takes a long time, in the long run it's incredibly beneficial!

Gu Xing muttered to himself.

In the long run, if the royal family could produce one more lotus of divine creation, the benefits would naturally go without saying.

Whether for the royal family's own use or as gifts to other powerful figures in the court, the Shenlianzi is of paramount importance.

After all, artifacts that can change one's innate talent are incredibly rare.

Even Gu Xing, who wasn't well-versed in matters of divine medicine, could understand that the Divine Lotus Seed must be incredibly precious.

So.

A single divine lotus seed remained, to be used for cultivating a new divine lotus of creation.

That's it.

There were only three lotus blossoms of Creation left.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Gu Xing fell into deep thought, his face changing constantly, as if pondering something.

For a moment.

Gu Xing's face became resolute, as if he had made some major decision.

"Now, none in the royal family or court can consume the divine lotus seeds. Perhaps it's best to keep them and bestow them upon someone later..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

As for the remaining two divine lotus seeds, there was no need to say more. Gu Xing had already prepared to take them himself.

Even though he is now a powerful cultivator at the second level of Dao Immortal, he has surpassed the limitations imposed by consuming the Divine Lotus.

Therefore.

Gu Xing has already made a decision.

That means to abolish cultivation and begin anew.

However.

Gu Xing wasn't planning to abolish all cultivation entirely. He just needed to destroy the Dao Divine Tree and shatter the foundation of the Ten Thousand Laws Dao, returning everything to the realm of the Cave Heaven.

Of course.

Please note: I can't interpret the context or meaning of the content within the HTML tags. My role is solely to translate the text between the tags.

To do so would also be extremely dangerous.

A little carelessness.

... there is a possibility of death.

Abolishing cultivation itself isn't a simple matter, but Gu Xing had reasons he had to do it.

The most fundamental reason is that, as the emperor, he must have sufficient cultivation to stabilize the overall situation.

Due to his own limitations in natural talent, his achievements are destined not to be too high.

Only by changing one's innate qualities through other means can one hope to go further.

Now.

The appearance of the lotus seed gave Gu Xing hope.

Therefore, even at the risk of his own demise, Gu Xing was willing to take a gamble. But before entering seclusion and consuming the Divine Lotus Seed, Gu Xing had to make every preparation. First, he would utilize the resources of the royal family to prepare for the possibility of self-severing his cultivation base. This would allow him to recover a portion of his strength in a short period of time and potentially save his life at a critical moment.

Then.

...That is to say, one must handle affairs at court well.

But.

That's a minor issue.

After all, the imperial court is relatively stable now. Even if Gu Xing really retreats for a while, nothing major will happen.

But Gu Xing must also make the worst-case scenario plans.

If I were to fail in cutting off my cultivation and fall, then someone from the Imperial Court should inherit it.

Gu Xing in these years also left behind many descendants, it's a pity that these descendants are not all capable of fulfilling important roles, but they definitely haven't reached the level of being able to manage the imperial court.

The position of the Son of Heaven.

Not everyone can do it.

Gu Xing took a deep breath, as if he had already drafted the imperial decree.

He decided.

If he were to perish, then the position of Human Emperor would be inherited by Shen Changqing.

Throughout the entire imperial court and among humanity, if anyone is most suited to become the Human Emperor, it would be Shen Changqing.

When the imperial edict was finalized, Gu Xing also felt like a weight had been lifted from his heart. Three days later, he would announce his seclusion, during which no one should disturb him for anything.

In Bai Emperor Palace.

Oriental Order also held two divine lotus seeds in his hand, his expression calm, as if lost in thought.

After leaving the capital, Dong Fang Zhao had gathered quite a bit of information about the Creation Lotus. He knew quite a bit about this divine medicine.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It is now.

There were only two paths laid out before him.

The first is to cut one's cultivation and consume the divine lotus seed.

The second is to bestow the Divine Lotus Seeds, allowing himself to have two more top-tier prodigies under his command.

But with such an opportunity at hand, no one would be willing to give it up.

That's all I have to say.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Self-harm is also extremely dangerous, and a slight mistake could lead to death.

So how to make a choice is also a difficult thing.

Suddenly.

"This matter doesn't seem to be worth considering," Dongfang joked with a smile. "Cultivation is not just about having enough comprehension; one also needs powerful aptitude."

Although the saying about a person's fundamental bone and talent is vague and ethereal, it actually exists in reality.

Those with exceptional aptitude cultivate their skills as if aided by divine beings, while those with inferior aptitude struggle in their practice, akin to rowing upstream. The importance of one's innate talent is evident.

Here is the translation of your content:

>> Although Dongfang Zhao did not deny that his talent for comprehension was indeed strong, his cultivation aptitude was quite average.

He has reached this point today largely due to his own insights.

Because of his insight.

Only those with the talent of the East can create the Path of Immortality.

But.

Cultivation requires more than just aptitude.

While comprehension of profound arts and techniques may be facilitated by natural talent, the true essence of cultivation lies in one's inherent aptitude.

Talent is invisible and intangible, yet it acts like a key that can unlock the door to higher realms. But without talent, one needs extraordinary fortune to truly open the door to these higher realms.

As a trailblazer, Dongfang Zhao naturally hopes to go higher and see farther.

Therefore.

The appearance of the lotus seed gave him hope.

As for the risk of self-mutilation, Dong Fang Zhao didn't think it was a big deal either.

Cultivation is like walking on thin ice. A slight misstep can lead to utter ruin.

Now there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity right in front of you. If you give up out of fear, you'll probably regret it for the rest of your life.

At that, he gave up.

Dongfang Zhao also did not hesitate at all, after a little preparation he announced that he was going into seclusion.

At the same time.

As soon as the news of Dongfang Zun's decision to go into seclusion leaked out, the other three emperors were informed immediately.

Others may not know why Dongfang Zhao went into seclusion, but as one of the three Great Emperors who also received a divine lotus seed, how could they not understand his intentions

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In the Chi Di Palace.

Gushan's eyes were firm: "Dongfang Zhao has such great courage, to decide to self-sever his cultivation and consume the Divine Lotus Seed so quickly. Since you dare to do this, this Emperor has no reason to fear."

"Top genius... This Emperor also wants to see it for himself!"

Speaking to himself, Gushan didn't hesitate either. Soon, he imitated Dongfang Zhao and went into seclusion, preparing to cut off his cultivation and consume the Divine Lotus Seed.

There was an edict from the East to shut oneself off in seclusion, and behind there was Mount Gu who also practiced seclusion.

Once the news of the two emperors' retreat spread, Yang Yi and Cangbei also made their decisions.

Not long.

All four emperors announced that they would be entering seclusion. From the outside, it seemed as if the four emperors were striving to break through their current realms, but only the four emperors themselves knew the true purpose behind their seclusion.
