When Wang Teng said this, many cultivators at this moment also understood Wang Teng's words.
Indeed, at that time, the Lixing Empress was abandoned in the wild.
If it weren't for the Celestial Emperor's rescue, surely there would be wild beasts following her scent, or even following her cries.
At that time, when facing such a life-threatening crisis, it is very likely she would awaken the power of Double Pupils.
And as long as the power of Double Pupils rises, even the Lixing Empress as an infant could possibly kill the beasts and resolve the crisis.
With the power of Double Pupils, her intelligence would awaken early, knowing that it was her biological parents who abandoned her.
This hatred might further enhance the power of Double Pupils.
In that case, she would indeed awaken the Double Pupils earlier than the Celestial Emperor.
She might embark on the path to power earlier than the Celestial Emperor.
Lixing Empress's achievements might surpass those of the Celestial Emperor!
"Indeed, Emperor Wang was right, it seemed that the Celestial Emperor protected the Lixing Empress, but actually, he hindered her path to becoming powerful."
"Without the Celestial Emperor, the Lixing Empress's current achievements might have been greater, perhaps even immeasurable!"
"What a pity, Lixing Empress's power of Double Pupils, which could have awakened long ago, was held back by the Celestial Emperor!"
"It turns out the Celestial Emperor's troubling deeds didn't start when he grew up. Even at such a young age, he had already prepared for becoming a great demon in the future."
"What a shame, truly a shame, if only the Lixing Empress had never encountered the Celestial Emperor, how wonderful that would have been!"
Many cultivators at this moment felt regret for her, even heartache.
If the one who rose at this time was the Lixing Empress and not the Celestial Emperor, there wouldn't be such a great demon as the Celestial Emperor in this past thousand years.
The one who would lead this world would be the Lixing Empress, with great love in her heart!
It would not be like now, where so much killing has occurred over the past millennium.
Luo Lixing, looking at this scene in the Reincarnation Mirror, also felt uncertain in her heart.
Was it really the Celestial Emperor who hindered her awakening the power of Double Pupils?
She didn't know for sure, and whether the power of Double Pupils really required hatred or a life survival crisis to awaken, she wasn't certain either.
She just had a vague feeling in her heart, as if it were not quite like that...
...
The scene in the Reincarnation Mirror continued.
In the time that followed, Xiao Lixing still couldn't sense the Qi Sea, and naturally couldn't enter the Qi Refining Realm.
In the end, even Xiao Lixing herself gave up and simply stopped cultivating.
The young Luo Xuan also felt helpless inside.
Although he didn't understand why his sister couldn't sense the Qi Sea and enter the Qi Refining Realm.
Seeing his sister unable to succeed, the young Luo Xuan didn't force it.
In that case, he decided to cultivate well himself, so he could protect his sister in the future.
...
Seeing that Xiao Lixing still couldn't sense the Qi Sea to enter the Qi Refining Realm.
The cultivators in the Celestial Emperor Palace didn't think Xiao Lixing lacked talent.
After all, they believed the Lixing Empress hadn't encountered great hatred or a life crisis yet.
At this time, she hadn't awakened the power of Double Pupils.
Thus, her ordinary talent seemed normal, and no one thought it was odd.
However, immediately following this was the speed of the Celestial Emperor's cultivation.
It was enough to utterly shock countless people!
Previously, the Celestial Emperor entered the Qi Refining Realm in the blink of an eye, reached Foundation Establishment in a day, already astonishing many people.
And in the past six months, the Celestial Emperor broke through the Foundation Establishment Realm and has now entered the Golden Core Realm.
Yet even the Golden Core Realm wasn't the Celestial Emperor's end point.
Two years passed, the Celestial Emperor had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, even directly reaching the Peak of Nascent Soul!
Now, all the cultivators in the Celestial Emperor Palace felt like they were about to explode!
In two years, to enter the Nascent Soul Realm, and moreover, to reach its peak.
Such cultivation speed really made countless people feel ashamed!
"I've grown tired of saying the word 'terrifying', but I truly can't imagine any other description beyond terrifying and awful to describe this speed of cultivation by the Celestial Emperor!"
"The current Celestial Emperor has already reached the Peak of Nascent Soul Realm, just a step away from the Divinity Transformation Realm. It's unimaginable that just two years ago, he was merely a child who hunted!"
Countless cultivators at this moment could only exclaim in terror.
In the blink of an eye, entering Qi Refining, one day to Foundation Establishment, half a year to Golden Core, two years to Nascent Soul, reaching the Peak of Nascent Soul!
This kind of cultivation speed, if shared, would surely make others feel utterly insane.
However, all of this truly unfolded right before everyone's eyes.
This is the Celestial Emperor, the one who can single-handedly suppress an entire era!
Continuing like this, they could hardly imagine how terrifying the future development of the Celestial Emperor would be!
But on second thought, didn't they already know the future development of the Celestial Emperor?
He truly is a powerhouse that can suppress an entire era!
Even with so many of them attacking together, they had no assurance whatsoever.
They could only rely on Wang Teng bringing out the Ancient Artifact Reincarnation Mirror to seal the Celestial Emperor, slowly refining him.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have any chance at all!
And even now, Xiao Lixing still hasn't entered the Qi Refining Realm.
In many people's eyes, this was only natural.
After all, Xiao Lixing hasn't 'awakened the opportunity of Double Pupils,' so not cultivating Qi Refining was expected.
Another year passed, just when many thought the Celestial Emperor would successfully enter the Divinity Transformation Realm.
However, at this moment, the Celestial Emperor's realm was completely stuck, unable to advance further, completely halting at the Peak of Nascent Soul.
No matter what methods the Celestial Emperor tried, thoroughly researching the cultivation techniques in his possession, he couldn't progress to the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Many who witnessed this understood in their hearts.
"No wonder, I almost forgot, the Celestial Emperor is cultivating just the most basic of cultivation techniques."
"Such a basic cultivation technique reaching the Nascent Soul Stage is already the limit, it simply can't reach the Divinity Transformation Realm."
"Moreover, such a basic cultivation technique only theoretically allows one to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage. Who would've thought the Celestial Emperor could actually reach the Nascent Soul Realm with it."
"It's fair to say that the realm the Celestial Emperor is in now, is just the limit of this cultivation technique, not the Celestial Emperor's limit!"
"It's hard to imagine if given a better cultivation technique, how far the Celestial Emperor could have cultivated in his youth!"
"But even if it's just the Peak of Nascent Soul, I feel it's already more than enough. Even ordinary powerhouses at the Divinity Transformation Realm might not be the Celestial Emperor's match now!"
"That's right, the Celestial Emperor's Nascent Soul is so immense, I've never seen such a Purple Mansion Nascent Soul before."
"Even ordinary Divinity Transformation powerhouses would surely be intimidated by the Celestial Emperor now; with more combat experience, the Celestial Emperor could indeed slay even Divinity Transformation powerhouses!"
It's worth noting that reaching the Peak of Nascent Soul with such a basic cultivation technique.
In the eyes of many, this was entirely impossible, yet the Celestial Emperor truly achieved it!
Even if it's just the Peak of Nascent Soul.
The Celestial Emperor's Purple Mansion Nascent Soul still astonished countless people.
Such a Purple Mansion Nascent Soul is truly extraordinary.
Even with a realm gap with Divinity Transformation powerhouses, in terms of strength, there might be no gap at all.
Especially newly entered Divinity Transformation powerhouses, they likely couldn't be the Celestial Emperor's match!
The youthful Luo Xuan viewed it openly.
Seeing that he couldn't advance to the next realm, the young Luo Xuan thought that his current realm should suffice for now.
"If I get access to higher-grade cultivation techniques in the future, I might be able to make further progress."
The young Luo Xuan in the scene muttered softly, eyes filled with determination.
Seeing the Celestial Emperor speak like this, many in the Celestial Emperor Palace couldn't help but gasp.
No wonder he's the Celestial Emperor, recognizing that it's a problem with the cultivation technique at such a young age.
It's an insight that ordinary people wouldn't have!
After three years passed, both the young Luo Xuan and Xiao Lixing had completely grown up.
"Brother, I'm so bored, can we go explore the towns?
I heard there's a lot of fun stuff there."
Xiao Lixing now calls him brother often.
Every day is spent hunting, playing in the mountains, returning to the village, or at most visiting nearby villages.
Such days were fine at first, but over time, she grew weary.
She had explored the entire mountain and heard that the markets in the distant towns were fun; she wanted to see them.
The young Luo Xuan always indulged Luo Lixing, and hearing his sister say this.
Especially now, since he was confident in his ability to protect his sister.
"Alright, then today we'll go to the town to have fun."
Xiao Lixing, hearing this, felt extremely excited.
"Wow, brother is truly the best!"
Xiao Lixing's words were filled with admiration for the young Luo Xuan and the joy of going out to play!
