《Winter Sovereign》Chapter 5: What's Beyond the Realm of Emperors

Serra spoke wryly with Sirene still clinging on him.
Ignoring that, Serra began explaining everything.
"When starting out cultivation, humans first start forming their martial cores, becoming Martial Apprentices. After that, Martial Seniors, then Martial Experts. After this, they reach the Nascent Realm. They pass the elementary, intermediate then advance stages before advancing towards Profound Realm. Following the same process, Warrior Realm, Sage Realm, White Sage, Black Sage, Gray Sage, Knight Realm, King Realm, Lord Realm, Monarch Realm and finally Emperor Realm."
Serra casually explained the basics that all these experts knew.
They were confused why he would explain something basic but they didn't interrupt him.
After all, even Demon Lord Arsin was listening intently.
"The method of advancing is simply gaining true energy and processing it and making it your own strenght. However, that won't do at all in the Emperor Realm. In order to transcend the Emperor Realm, you need to sense the laws. After reaching the realm of Emperors, you can sense laws now."
"Laws? What are they?"
Demon Lord Arsin asked.
"Laws are the very powers that keep the world together. Wind, Fire, Earth, Water and even Death and Life. Perhaps you know of elements? When forming a core, you choose an element to form your core. That decides what type of enery you can absorb and decides which path you can take. In my case, my core was Water. Thus, I sensed the Law of Water to ascend to the Higher Planes."
"Water... Wasn't the area that became the battlefield of the peak experts then the sea?"
Sirene muttered.
"Yes. The final battlefield that decided everything was the sea. Back then, there were 13 continents, after the major battles, only several were left. We decided that we could not continue like this and settled the battle in a place devoid of land. And yet... After that battle, I did not expect that more large-scale battles would eventually ruin a few more continents..."

Serra spoke in sorrow.
The other experts experienced quite a shock.
"Wait, Sirene, you did not know?"
"Yes... Back then, I was too weak and had to stay behind. I had no way of knowing the outside world..."
Sirene spoke.
"Still, sensing the world's laws is still a difficult endeavor. Sensing the law and comprehending it allowed me to gain a significant boost in power and allowed me to clinch victory in that dire moment. Afterwards, I began building my empire and consolidating my power. I eventually comprehended enough power and was finally able to ascend. I made sure to leave records of how I ascended. What happened to those records?"
"Records? You left records?"
This gave everyone present a surprise.
Records of how the Supreme Expert ascended were left behind?
At this moment, all experts present were thinking of one thing.
Whose the damm fool who destroyed those records...!?
If the numerous supreme experts who reached the pinnacle of the Emperor Realm heard this, they would be cursing that fool as well.
"...Well, I suppose that can't be helped..."
Serra spoke wryly.
"That aside, I'll be taking my kin and putting an end to this war. What experts truly desire is reaching the world beyond this. The realm beyond the Emperor Realm."
All experts listened.
Indeed, although they did value their kin and did wish to claim the world, what they truly desire is gaining power. Now that they know of a world beyond this one, they wish to see that vast new world. The realm beyond that of Emperors.
"This world, the world of Sierra is merely a minor world. There are countless minor worlds out there. The Higher Planes consist of several worlds. Each world far vaster than numerous minor world combined with numerous treasures each more valuable than a single minor world. Each Higher Plane is filled to the brim with numerous experts beyond the realm of Emperors."

This shocked all the experts present.
A world filled to the brim with experts beyond the Emperor Realm!?
No matter the race, it's extremely difficult to reach the Emperor Realm. A lifetime even.
And yet, a world filled to the brim with such experts?
"What? Don't be so surprised. After reaching the realm above the Emperor Realm, you'll find that you now posses eternal youth. You will never age or gain sickness anymore. Given the number of countless worlds, they've given birth to a vast number of supreme experts."
Serra laughed lightly.
"Now then, I suppose I'll state some demands here. I didn't come here for a stroll you know?"
The faces of all the experts present changed.
