Emperor’s Domination

it to the throne? Just three.”

“As you can see, even the ten greatest couldnt all become emperors, let alone the others in spite of the quantity. The majority of them died on this path. Why is that?” Li Qiye pointed at his heart: “Theres one problem, their easily shaken dao heart. For geniuses, everything happened too easy for them so they couldnt handle failure or temptation.”

“Is that really so?” She couldnt help asking.

“Well keep it recent with Immortal Emperor Ta Kong. After his ascension, people sang songs of his talents. Thats just flattery. In fact, the young emperor was only above average at best. He wasnt as gifted compared to Cleansing Incenses Mu Shaodi, the Stone Medicine Worlds Stone Dragon God, or even his strongest general, Xiao Qingtian. But the last one smiling was him. Do you know why?” Li Qiye stared seriously at her.

“His dao heart.” She replied.

“Thats right.” Li Qiye continued on: “You might know the answer but not the actual reasons. For Mu Shaodi, his talents were excellent with a record of three wins and three losses against the emperor. But this was his unbecoming. He thought that he could take a shortcut in cultivation. After losing to the emperor, he couldnt resist the temptation of taking the easy way out by using an external force. This eventually led to the near-destruction of Cleansing Incense.”

“For the Stone Dragon God, he was quite haughty at a young age and chased Immortal Emperor Ta Kong out of Stone Medicine like a dog losing its master. He was quite imperious until losing three times in a row to the emperor later on. With that, he was completely frightened and didnt dare to come out again. His dao heart tasted fear.”

With that, he paused for a second: “And Xiao Qingtian, he has an amazing affinity with the saber, a natural born user. His saber seemed to have its own life in his hand. Unfortunately, the emperors shadow engulfed him and he couldnt break out of his own shackles, being only one step away from success. This is due to a weak dao heart.”

“Then what about the emperor?” She asked. In fact, she was very interested in his past since this was her progenitors enemy.

“Immortal Emperor Ta Kong had countless ups and downs in his life. So many people have defeated him including Mu Shaodi, Stone Dragon God, and Meng Zhentian. Nevertheless, he never drowned in despair or faltered before losing continuously. He rose again and again while learning from each loss. Because of this, he was the last one smiling due to his unshakable dao heart.”

“Thus, remember, each emperor is extraordinary and amazing in their own way.” Li Qiye meaningfully preached.

“So, dao heart first then the rest like talents. For ages now, how many geniuses have actually cultivated the Eternal Physique successfully? None, with the exception of a little girl with an unwavering dao heart for millions of years. Her pure heart allowed for her to create a unique miracle!”

“The dao heart is first.” She murmured to herself.

“Geniuses are in abundance but not those with immovable dao heart. Thats why it is much more important than talents when wanting to train a future emperor. This is the reason why your Heaven Suppressions Gu Zun cant become an emperor. His talents are even more amazing with people listing him as one of the ten eonic geniuses.” He looked at her and said.

“Why?” She had to ask. People believed that her Ancestor Gu Zun was one of the most gifted beings in the world. Some disciples from the sect actually claimed that he was the greatest of all. Big shots from the older generation said that he was definitely top ten.

However, even such a talented man didnt become emperor in the end. This made her very curious!
