Chapter 1462 - 876: [Deep Cold Magical Vein] 4, The Eleventh Immortal Emperor? Me <–?

Zhang Pianpian had always known that her younger brother possessed rare talents, but the abilities he displayed this time still left her astounded.

She had always suspected that her younger brother harbored secrets; otherwise, even with her assistance, it would have been impossible for him to climb to his current position step by step.

But she never imagined the secrets surrounding her younger brother were so significant and profound.

For some reason, Zhang Pianpian suddenly recalled the scene from university when her brother lent her all his savings. Those spirit coins might seem insignificant now, but they represented all that Zhang Yu had at the time.

According to logic or the rules of Kunxu, having mastered the relevant information and possessing an informational advantage, she should not have involved herself in this web of cause and effect. She should have secured an undefeated position before everything began, as that is the advantage of having an informational edge.

Yet, looking at Zhang Yu before her, Zhang Pianpian pondered for a moment and then sighed, saying, "Many things, I too only gradually understood after reaching the Sect Level."

"Brother, what do you think counts as destiny? What counts as a serendipity?"

Without waiting for Zhang Yu to answer, Zhang Pianpian continued, "Destiny or serendipity, they are part of the profit of the entire Kunxu. And across Kunxu, how much profit is beyond the calculation of the Immortal Emperors? How much destiny, how much serendipity, is beyond their control?"

"Over time, numerous prodigies across Kunxu have been invested in, granted fortuitous opportunities—some have had their potential stimulated, some have obtained the Dao Seed, others have gained the Evil God, others received remarkable inheritances, and yet others acquired various Books, or some had a combination of these..."

"Many people assume this is destiny, this is serendipity."

"But some know this is a scenario nurtured secretly by the higher-ups."

"However, only a few understand that events like these... ultimately trace back to the will of the Immortal Emperors."

"Yet, even many Immortals may not know that the Ten Great Immortal Emperors secretly have a plan—to create an 11th Immortal Emperor, and all those destinies... are efforts by the Immortal Emperors to create the 11th Immortal Emperor."

"After rounds of elimination... those who emerged as prodigies can be considered candidates for the Immortal Emperor."

Zhang Yu was shocked upon hearing this: "An 11th Immortal Emperor? Immortal Emperor candidate?"

Zhan Xian was astonished: "How is this possible? The Immortal Emperors have always suppressed those below, how could they actively work to create a new Immortal Emperor?"

Fu Ji was also shocked upon hearing Zhang Pianpian’s words: "Manufacturing... an 11th Immortal Emperor? Isn’t this just adding competition for themselves? What benefit does it serve?"

Zhang Pianpian looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Brother, you now... are likely seen by some Immortal Emperor as a candidate for the 11th Immortal Emperor, or one of them. Although you might not rank high on the candidate list, you have already entered this game."

"Once you enter the game, there are only two outcomes: either become the 11th Immortal Emperor, or be crushed into Immortal Trash in the long process of elimination."

Listening to Zhang Pianpian’s words, Zhang Yu felt his mind was in chaos, countless thoughts surged, too many questions arose making him uncertain where to begin.

He just wanted to use the Divinity Transformation to support his sister, so how did it suddenly escalate to the 11th Immortal Emperor and Immortal Emperor candidate?

Nonetheless, Zhang Yu, being a Divinity Transformation powerhouse, quickly suppressed various stray thoughts, calmed his mind, organized his thoughts, and asked, "Adding another Immortal Emperor would mean competing with the existing Immortal Emperors. Why would the Immortal Emperors want to do such a thing?"

Zhang Pianpian slowly said, "I don’t know the specific reason why they would do such a thing, it might involve the ultimate mysteries between the Immortal Emperors."

"But one thing is certain, becoming the 11th Immortal Emperor is definitely not a good thing."

"Because the previous 11th Immortal Emperor created by the Ten Great Immortal Emperors has disappeared without a trace, there is no longer a shred of information about him throughout Kunxu, all traces of him have been completely erased by the Immortal Emperors."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu’s heart sank again, various ominous conjectures surged within his heart: "The previous one? The Ten Great Immortal Emperors have already created an 11th Immortal Emperor before?"

Recalling that all traces had been erased, Zhang Yu suddenly remembered something Fu Xiantian once said and asked, "Did the Immortal Emperors jointly use the Supreme Immortal Artifact to erase the traces?"

Zhang Pianpian looked at Zhang Yu unexpectedly and said, "I’m not sure, but I guess it might be so. Becoming the 11th Immortal Emperor is undoubtedly not a good thing."

Then Zhang Yu asked, "If they want to create an 11th Immortal Emperor, why not choose from the existing Immortals? Isn’t that simpler?"

Zhang Pianpian said, "You’re right, but not every Immortal possesses the qualifications or potential to become an Immortal Emperor."

"As you should know, the Taoist Inheritance of an Immortal typically establishes a path during Refining Void and Consolidating Dao... when they set down the Law Chain."

"For many Immortals, perhaps they are unaware of the outcome of becoming the 11th Immortal Emperor, but their potential to become an Immortal Emperor likely vanished when they were refining void."

"As for those Immortals with true qualifications, potential, and opportunity..."

Zhang Pianpian paused for a moment and spoke with a speculative tone: "It seems they are already aware of the consequences of becoming the 11th Immortal Emperor, and quietly avoid becoming the 11th Immortal Emperor."
