Gu Changyuan ignored Zhenyue's face, which was almost distorted by fear and shock. Instead, he closed his eyes and began to sort out the complex information that had just flooded into his mind.
Zhenyue was not a native cultivator in the Ten Thousand Luo Immortal Realm. He had crossed the boundary barrier from another immortal realm and come here.
Zhenyue's family was once a dominant force in the immortal realm where he belonged, standing on equal footing with several other families of comparable strength.
However, in a conflict between families, Zhenyue's family was ambushed by another competing family in alliance with multiple forces and was destroyed overnight.
That was when "The Emperor" appeared.
Zhenyue survived.
The pursuers all disappeared the moment he promised to follow "The Emperor".
Based on Zhenyue's innate abilities, "The Emperor" provided him with all kinds of resources for cultivation - cultivation techniques, pills, and magical artifacts. Everything was in place.
Then he was simply let to cultivate on his own and allowed to develop naturally.
It was not until later that Zhenyue met the other Tianheng.
"The Emperor" had not only cultivated him.
The other eleven Tianheng were each selected, saved, and cultivated by "The Emperor" under similar circumstances.
Gu Changyuan's brows twitched slightly.
It seemed that the way the Lord of the Imperial Court cultivated the Tianheng did have some superficial similarities to the way he cultivated his disciples.
However, the path of "The Emperor" was completely different from Gu Changyuan's.
Gu Changyuan taught his disciples with a clear distinction between kindness and hatred, and good and evil.
The core of "The Emperor"'s teaching to the Tianheng was just one word: power. As long as one was strong enough, one would have greater power and could freely control those weaker than oneself.
In the eyes of the Tianheng, strength was everything, ambition was justice, and weakness itself was a sin.
This situation was quite common in the entire immortal - cultivating world - the strong were respected, and the weak were preyed upon. This was indeed the law of survival in the immortal - cultivating world from ancient times to the present.
However, "The Emperor" had expanded it. The expansion of the Imperial Court was not only to obtain resources but also to put this concept into practice.
As for "The Emperor"'s purpose, there was no clear answer in Zhenyue's memory.
"The Emperor" had never told anyone what his ultimate goal was. All his instructions were fragmented, with clear - cut purposes and only targeted at the next immediate step.
The Tianheng unconditionally executed every instruction without questioning, inquiring, or thinking about the reasons.
"The Emperor"'s strength far exceeded their comprehension - it was a realm they could not reach, could not even imagine, and they couldn't even find a direction to look up to.
They had already transcended the realm of Immortal Emperor and stepped into a higher realm, that of the Dao Sovereign.
Above the Dao Sovereign realm, there was another realm called the Divine Emperor.
This was a realm that even "The Emperor" himself had not yet reached.
This was "The Emperor"'s goal, the end - point of all his layouts, all his cultivation, all his patience and schemes.
Gu Changyuan memorized these two names.
Dao Sovereign. Divine Emperor.
He was currently an Immortal Emperor, and dozens of Immortal Emperors' cultivation feedback was being integrated into his body. His power was growing day by day, but how far was he from the Dao Sovereign realm?
He didn't know because he had never seen the power of a Dao Sovereign.
He put this question in the back of his mind and continued to organize the memories.
Next were the entire layout of the Imperial Court and the core abilities of the other eleven Tianheng.
Pingxiao, one of the Tianheng of the Imperial Court, had a core ability called "Leveling the Celestial Domain".
He could expand an invisible domain with himself as the center. Inside this domain, everything would be "leveled".
Fenxiao's core ability was "Ember - destroying Dao Fire".
This fire could burn everything, including physical bodies, souls, spiritual power, laws, and causes and effects. All things that could be defined as "existence" would be completely erased by the flames.
Yuming had two abilities: "Reversing the River of Forgetfulness" and "The Pass of the River of Sorrow".
The former could silently strip away a cultivator's memories, and the latter could directly drag a cultivator into the Netherworld, leading them into a battlefield where Yuming was proficient.
Linyuan's core ability was "The Eyes of the Abyss".
He could see the deepest fear in everyone's heart and materialize this fear into a physical form.
Dingchen's core ability was "Eternally as in the Past".
He could "freeze" the time state of an entire area at a certain moment and then make this moment repeat infinitely.
Shoudao's core ability was "Chains of Heavenly Laws".
He used the laws of the Heavenly Dao as chains to bind anyone who "violated the rules".
He was the most proficient among all the Tianheng in mastering the laws of the Heavenly Dao.
Guixu's ability was called "Ruination".
Wherever his gaze fell, everything began to "age" - time accelerated in his line of sight.
Wuji's ability was "Myriad Transformations without Limits".
He could simulate any law, perform any spell, and transform into any form.
Duchen's core ability was "Dust - cleansing Water".
Things washed by this celestial water would lose all "additional attributes" and only retain the most primitive and vulnerable "essence".
As for Lanxing, Zhenyue hadn't seen him for a long time.
But he knew that the other person also practiced the way of the stars and might have some connection with the Star Clan.
After he finished reading all the memories, organizing them, and categorizing them, he opened his eyes.
The darkness inside the God - binding Coffin remained silent. Zhenyue was still locked on the stone pillar, and the expression on his face as if his soul had been taken away had not completely faded.
Gu Changyuan didn't look at him any more. He turned around and directly left the God - binding Coffin.
