Empyrean Nine Pillar

## Appearance

An older man with long white hair tied loosely in a bun, a long white beard, and wearing a plain black robe–looked at the trespasser before him. His pure eyes, which seemed to contain the entire world.

## Background

He was born in the upper dimension, and his master, Emperor Red Spear, took him as a direct disciple when he was young. His master had high standards for him, so he immediately told Nine Pillar about the Nine Extremity Foundation with the hope of cultivating it.

And Nine Pillar did not disappoint. After his master paid a hefty price to have an Eternal Emperor preach about [Existence] to him, he managed to comprehend something. However, his master did not want him to walk the unorthodox path due to the low percentage of success, not to mention Red Spear wanted him to achieve perfection or the power of 5-Root.

At the same time, he could not easily go through the orthodox method in the Eternal Ascension World because of the stricter rules about Samsara. No mortals can keep their memories intact after going through reincarnation. If they want to keep their memories, an Empyrean or Tier 11 cultivators at the weakest must use their powers to protect the mortal's memories. Furthermore, going through nine reincarnations could have many complications in the upper dimension.

So, his master sent him to the lower dimension to accomplish the Nine Extremity Foundation. He abandoned his cultivation to start over. Then, Nine Pillar tempered his souls, energy, body, Dao Heart, and Willpower to the absolute peak before condensing his Cultivation Seed, or Extremity Seed, as that was the official name.

He joined a powerful Emperor Lineage to gather resources. Because of the restrictions, his master could not help him in this aspect. Then, when it was time, he did not fight for the [Heaven Will] but reincarnated instead.

After Nine Reincarnations, Nine Pillar not only completed his Nine Extremity Foundation but reached perfection with the battle strength of a 5-Root Dao Ancestor. However, Nine Pillar was not satisfied, so on his last reincarnation, he condensed nine clones to cultivate to the peak of the Mortal Realm before absorbing them.

His strength did increase drastically. According to his calculation, he had the battle strength of a 5-Root Dao Ancestor with 4.9% control of the Grand Dao Source. Regrettably, Nine Pillar was not satisfied. As he felt the limit of the Nine Extremity, he wanted to go beyond it. His master warned him that it was impossible, but he wanted to try. So, he asked his master for him to find a way to remove the limitation of only nine reincarnations.

His master then used countless precious resources in the upper dimension to refine an Immortal Soul Essence for him, allowing him to undergo 81 Reincarnations. Nine Pillar figured if he could keep condensing his Cultivation Seed and absorb it through reincarnation, he might break the limit. But he was wrong. His battle strength increased to 4.9999% control of Grand Dao Source, but never 5%; he could not enter the realm of the Great Emperor.

Nine Pillar then tried to have each of his incarnations to condense 9 clones each to break the limit, but it was useless. Despite this, he did not give up since he wanted to succeed. However, his master finally convinced him that it was futile, so Nine Pillar eventually proved the Dao to become an Eternal Emperor. He was among the most powerful Eternal Emperor of the upper dimension, making his master and sect proud.

But Nine Pillar did not care about that. He had become obsessed with breaking the limit of the Nine Extremity. So, after becoming an Everlasting Empyrean, he entered Primordial Chaos to search for a method.

He was prepared to abandon his cultivation and start again once he found it; that's how determined he was. And he did find what he wanted. Regrettably, a Fiendgod also wanted the thing that would help him. And after a battle, the Fiendgod killed him and even eradicated his Existence, history, and anything related to him.

The only reason Nine Pillar survived for this long was because of a unique treasure he had and because of his intense obsession to find a successor that could break that limit.

He has little to no power left, so he spends most of his time in deep sleep, waiting for someone worthy to find the inheritance he scattered all over the world. But, he did not expect someone to come directly to his door.
