Chapter 558 Celestial Machina Formation


    Jonathan''s body trembled. It was the Asura Emperor.


    In the minds of everyone, there were always these iparably powerful Four Emperors. They were


    once legends and now considered mythical beings.


    The Emperor of Chanaea, Asura Emperor, Demon Emperor, and also the Divine Emperor.


    Among the Four Emperors, people naturally thought of the Divine Emperor as the highest and most


    supreme.


    Jonathan couldn''t help but ask again, “Divine Emperor, is the Asura Emperor good or evil?”


    The Divine Emperor replied, “You shouldn''t ask such questions. There''s no practical significance to it.


    You should understand without needing me to say anything about it.”


    Jonathan did understand the meaning behind the Divine Emperor''s words—there was no absolute


    good or evil in the world. Everyone would do things for their own interests, and every action had its own


    reasons.


    However, Jonathan felt that the Emperor of Chanaea, Lance Cadman, was righteous. He wondered if


    this conclusion was urate.


    The Divine Emperor replied, “Calling him righteous is not entirely wrong. However, he has also caused


    great pain to some people and taken innocent lives. His hands are stained with more blood than mine,


    the Demon Emperor''s, or the Asura Emperor''s. He cannot guarantee that every person he killed


    deserved to die.”


    Jonathan fell silent, then inquired further, “I dare to ask, among the Four Emperors, where does the


    Emperor of Chanaea stand in terms of cultivation?”


    His boldness surprised even himself, but the Divine Emperor seemed easygoing that day, and he saw


    a chance to learn more about Tristan. Moreover, he admired the Emperor of Chanaea deeply.


    Everyone else was just as curious about his questions, or some were even more so. Yet, not a single


    one of them dared to ask.


    The Divine Emperor responded, “His insight is exceptional, and his luck is unmatched. His cultivation


    might even surpass mine.”

    Jonathan''s body trembled, and he couldn''t resist asking about the Demon Emperor as well.


    The Divine Emperor sighed, “You have too many questions, but I will answer your question onest


    time. The Four Emperors possess unique magic items and ultimate secret techniques. None of us can


    kill the others for good, regardless of who is stronger or weaker.”


    Understanding that he shouldn''t press further, Jonathan''s heart sank. Even the Divine Emperor couldn''t


    fully control Tristan. This made his n to confront Ignatius and make Tristan apologize to his mother


    even more challenging.


    Nevertheless, Jonathan refused to be disheartened. Just because someone before him failed didn''t


    mean he couldn''t seed.


    At that moment, determination surged within Jonathan, igniting a boundless resolve.


    At this juncture, the Divine Emperor turned to the three masters and said, “You must be curious about


    how I will enhance your cultivation.” He paused, then continued, “You are probably more curious about


    how cultivation can be improved by others.”


    Richard and the others acknowledged their curiosity but trusted in the Divine Emperor''s unique


    methods.


    The Divine Emperor revealed his n, saying, “I will create a Door of Eternal Space. Inside this space,


    three hours will equal thirty years in the outside world. Moreover, I have ced a cosmic energy gem


    inside space, nourishing you continuously for thirty years. It will depend on your efforts to see how far


    you can advance during this time.”


    Everyone was shocked and finally understood how the Divine Emperor was going to enhance their


    cultivation.


    The notion of the Divine Emperor enhancing the cultivation of the three masters initially seemed like an


    impossible fantasy, a castle in the sky without any rational basis. However, as the Divine Emperor


    exined, the idea suddenly became clear and incredibly tempting.


    It was an extraordinary opportunity, one of immense magnitude.


    Jonathan felt a stirring in his heart, but he knew that such nourishment would be of little use to him due


    to the limitations posed by his vampire bloodline.


    Catherine, on the other hand, could benefit from this opportunity.


    However, the thought of sending her into thirty years of solitude made Jonathan hesitate. Having


    experienced absolute loneliness when he was at Moranta for ten years, he understood the torment


    beyond words.


    Yet, before Jonathan could voice his concerns, Catherine had already requested, “Master, I also wish


    to go with my peers to cultivate.”


    Catherine had thoroughly considered her decision. She understood Jonathan''s predicament and the


    formidable enemies he faced, especially Demon Emperor Tristan.


    Catherine yearned to enhance her cultivation rapidly so that she could assist and protect Jonathan.


    Although the trip would take her thirty years, to the others, it was merely three hours.


    Richard and the others looked at Catherine with some surprise.


    The Divine Emperor calmly said, “Catherine, it''s not that I''m unwilling to let you go with Jonathan. First,


    entering here won''t be beneficial to Jonathan''s cultivation. I cannot rid him of his vampiric bloodline.


    Second, while you canprehend the maic field and molecr rules, your foundation is still


    shallow. If youe in, during the long years of torment, you might develop an illusion of the


    impermanence of human existence. Instead of achieving enlightenment, you might pass away. Many


    meditators have passed away because of their overly tranquil state of mind and disillusionment.”


    “But I want to give it a try,” Catherine persisted. “I won''t pass away due to loneliness, as I still have


    people and things in the mortal world that I cherish.”


    The Divine Emperor fell silent.


    Jonathan held Catherine''s hand and said, “Catherine, I don''t want you to go.”


    Catherine looked at Jonathan, earnestly saying, “I want to go, and I will definitelye back.”


    “What if I firmly insist on not letting you go?” Jonathan asked.


    Catherine lowered her head in contemtion. After a while, she said, “I can listen to you on everything


    else, but not on this matter.”


    “Why not on this matter specifically?” Jonathan inquired.


    Catherine fell into silence before turning to the Divine Emperor and saying, “Master, please fulfill my


    wish.”


    The Divine Emperor pondered for a moment and said, “It seems that everything is destined. I wanted to


    help you avoid this, but you still insist on breaking in.” He paused and continued, “Very well. I will grant


    your request.”


    Jonathan became anxious and asked, “Divine Emperor, what do you mean by destiny? Does it mean


    that Catherine will definitely pass away inside?”


    “Future events cannot be fully foreseen. I can only vaguely perceive some clues. But the future must


    not be revealed, as even I cannot bear the consequences it brings,” the Divine Emperor replied.


    “Why are there so many tribtions?” Jonathan asked, feeling utterly perplexed.


    While heprehended the concepts of karma and tribtions, he couldn''t fathom why the heavens


    would arrange for such numerous tribtions.


    The Divine Emperor spoke, “I shouldn''t answer this, but for Catherine''s sake, I will.” He paused and


    continued, “Imagine a car with a weight capacity of ten tons. When it''s overloaded and carries twenty


    tons, idents are likely to happen. However, after modifying the car, it can handle the twenty-ton load


    without issues. But no matter how the car is modified, it still has its limits. Our cultivation is like an


    overloaded car moving forward, so we often encounter various problems, known as cmities. Our


    spiritual soul and physical body coexist, and their nature affects the maic field and molecr rules,


    giving rise to different tribtions. Cultivation to be immortal is, in itself, a path against the


    heavens. If one chooses to walk this path, they must be mentally prepared.”


    “Understood. Thank you for the guidance, Divine Emperor,” Jonathan replied.


    The Divine Emperor then emphasized, “With Catherine going to cultivate, resisting the Thraumorn will


    depend on you alone. Remember, never let the Thraumorn enter the core of the formation. If the core is


    destroyed, my Eternal Space will also be in jeopardy. Catherine and the others will be lost in the eternal


    space and won''t be able to return. Remember this.”


    Jonathan immediately grasped the significance of the matter. If the Divine Emperor repeatedly


    emphasized it, it must be crucial.


    Throughout, the people never truly saw the Divine Emperor. It was like speaking to thin air.


    Then, a golden gate formed in front of them, created by the condensation of maic fields and


    molecules.


    The Divine Emperor instructed Catherine and the others, “Go inside.”


    Catherine bid farewell to Jonathan and looked at him seriously, saying, “I will definitelye back.”


    Jonathan''s face turned solemn, and he said, “Thirty years is a challenging time; you aren''t even thirty


    yet. I know you are ustomed to solitude—ustomed to being alone. That''s why both the Divine


    Emperor and I are worried. What if you be too used to loneliness and pass away because of it?


    When I was at Moranta, I experienced spending ten years in a simr space. Even I couldn''t help but


    sink into silence, let alone you.”


    Jonathan was a carefree soul, but even he had trouble adapting to eternal solitude. He had been close


    to sumbing to the silence.


    Catherine was already someone who enjoyed solitude, so it was going to be an even more challenging


    matter for her.


    Worried, Jonathan couldn''t help but express his concerns.


    Catherine reassured him, “I wille back.” She spoke with determination, then turned resolutely and


    entered the golden gate.


    There was nothing Jonathan could say to her at that point.


    Subsequently, Richard and the others followed suit. As Richard entered, he said to Jonathan,


    “Jonathan, I will look after Catherine for you.”


    “Thank you, Master!” Jonathan replied hurriedly.


    Richard patted Jonathan''s shoulder and said nothing more.


    After everyone entered, only Jonathan remained in the cavern.


    Technically, the Divine Emperor was also present, but Jonathan couldn''t see him and had no idea


    where the Divine Emperor was.


    It seemed that the Divine Emperor was omnipresent.


    Then, the Divine Emperor informed, “Jonathan, I''m going to set up the Celestial Machina Formation.”


    “Understood, Divine Emperor,” Jonathan replied.


    As the Divine Emperor spoke, a seed suddenly appeared in the center of the cavern''s floor.


    As the seed descended into the ground, a small sapling sprouted from the soil, its growth visible to the


    naked eye. Soon, it transformed into a majestic tree with abundant foliage, and countless vines


    extended in all directions.


    Within moments, the entire cavern was adorned with a verdant green canopy of vines.


    Then, a miraculous change urred—the green vines and the grand tree erupted into a brilliant,


    dazzling golden glow. The cavern was bathed in an ethereal radiance, creating an otherworldly scene.
