As long as one joined the Sacred Domain and fulfilled a three-hundred-year term without betrayal, and also made significant contributions, they would gain the opportunity to transcend reincarnation.
Even those who had already failed in reincarnation had a certain possibility of transcending it once more, achieving the rank of Heavenly King.
Without a doubt, the announcement of this news created an even greater sensation than the previous establishment of the Martial Arts Divine Pavilion and the Alchemy Hall.
Because reincarnation was too mysterious; if one could not transcend it, it basically meant only death. Even if one was fortunate enough to survive a great calamity, at most they could rely on the insights gained during reincarnation to undergo Extreme Sublimation, stepping into the Samsara level, with no possibility of further progress in this lifetime.
The cultivation path would be severed from then on.
But now the Sacred Domain declared that it had a chance for even those who had failed reincarnation to transcend it once more. How was this possible?
The world did not believe it, because this was fundamentally impossible. Throughout the ages, no one had ever been heard to accomplish such a feat.
Nevertheless, it still caused a massive uproar across the Ancient Emperor Continent, drawing the attention and concern of everyone under heaven.
From the day these three announcements were made public, a great number of powerhouses began to arrive continuously.
They came from all corners of the Ancient Emperor Continent—human race, beast race, demon race—all sharing the same goal: to rush to the Central Imperial City, willing to join the Sacred Domain and become one of its powerhouses.
Even from ancient, long-standing major powers like the Thirty-Six Empires, Seventy-Two Ancient Kingdoms, the Demon God Hall, and the Beast Race Royal City, terrifying old-generation powerhouses kept arriving. Even supreme experts came one after another, all approaching the Central Heavenly Palace expressing their hope to join the Sacred Domain.
The appearance of the Martial Arts Divine Pavilion and the Alchemy Hall allowed the newly established Sacred Domain to rapidly gain a massive boost in strength. With the Central Heavenly Palace as the core, powerhouses from the four directions all joined in succession.
The chance to transcend reincarnation once more even made the supreme experts under heaven unable to resist putting aside their pride, traveling from afar to become the top-tier strength of the Sacred Domain.
Gathering of powerhouses, experts as dense as a forest—this described the current Sacred Domain.
One could even say that over eighty percent of the powerhouses standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid on the Ancient Emperor Continent had gone to the Imperial City, hoping to join the Sacred Domain and become a member.
The Sacred Domain created by Ye Chen officially began its rise, achieving a meteoric ascent in a short time. Apart from the imperial clan and the three Sacred Lands, it could almost be called the undisputed number one power on the Ancient Emperor Continent.
Even though it currently appeared quite loose, it could be believed that once these forces were united, they would unleash a power far more terrifying than imagined.
The great sect rose, the Sacred Domain stood proudly in the mortal world, becoming a peerless force, and clearly showed a tendency to become an Immortal Sacred Land.
As the esteemed master of the Sacred Domain, Ye Chen did not personally handle the various tedious and miscellaneous affairs within it; others handled them for him.
However, this was not Ye Chen's first time establishing a great sect. Not only did he have the Gu Lan Holy Church, a great sect with a mature system, but also in his previous life, when he was still Qian Yue, he had personally founded an immortal divine kingdom.
It was just that he had left that immortal divine kingdom many years ago, and it was established in the lower realm, located within the myriad worlds beneath the myriad realms. After so many years had passed, he was unclear about what had become of that former immortal divine kingdom.
Originally, he could still sense the vast Faith Power, but after reincarnating and being reborn in this life, the Faith Power from the immortal divine kingdom had also vanished. He did not know the reason for this.
Now, establishing the great sect of the Sacred Domain was actually just a repeat of old events, something he was already highly skilled and familiar with.
Regarding the Sacred Domain, he handed it over to the Goddess to handle. Zhao Jingruo was the Saint Lord of the supreme sacred land, Tai Chu Sacred Land, so she naturally understood how to operate such a vast Sacred Domain.
Furthermore, she had the assistance of the Nine Great Imperial Dynasty Heavenly Kings and that group of experienced powerhouses from the Ancient God Continent. Apart from the slight trouble during the Sacred Domain's initial establishment and recruitment of powerhouses from across the world, everything else proceeded normally.
Although the Sacred Domain widely recruited powerhouses from across the world, and with its current astonishing appeal, recruiting over half of the top powerhouses on the Ancient Emperor Continent was not difficult, it could not allow unqualified individuals to fill the ranks. One needed sufficient weight and had to pass numerous trials to qualify for membership.
This was a necessary rule. They could not let the Sacred Domain become overly bloated in structure for the sake of expansion; they implemented a streamlined and elite approach.
Cultivators with poor character or bad reputations were excluded immediately. The Sacred Domain did not permit nor welcome such individuals to join, not even Samsara-level supreme experts.
Only after that came the assessment of strength.
Naturally, even after formally joining the Sacred Domain, one could not freely consult the various cultivation ancient texts in the Martial Arts Divine Pavilion or obtain the precious pills in the Alchemy Hall without cost. One had to pay a corresponding price, exchanging with special contribution points.
This was an equivalent exchange system within the Sacred Domain. One could exchange cultivation ancient texts of the same level or precious treasures for corresponding contribution points, which could then be used to exchange for treasures from the Martial Arts Divine Pavilion and the Alchemy Hall.
Moreover, the higher the level of the cultivation ancient text or pill, the higher the restriction and the more contribution points required. Some even required not only contribution points but also the completion of certain tasks to obtain.
Even with such restrictions, even bordering on harshness, the treasures within both the Martial Arts Divine Pavilion and the Alchemy Hall drove the powerhouses of the world almost to madness, making them willing to exchange almost anything for large amounts of contribution points.
One could see powerhouses from across the world arriving together, bringing cultivation ancient texts, Heaven and Earth Treasures, rare manuscripts, divine forging materials, and other priceless treasures from the outside world.
Although the costs paid were great, often involving Heaven and Earth Treasures with millennia of medicinal age or divine forging materials for Heavenly King Dao weapons, everyone who entered the Martial Arts Divine Pavilion or the Alchemy Hall gained something.
Because the divine ability secret manuals in the Martial Arts Divine Pavilion included various divine ability secret arts obtained from the Martial Arts Divine Stone of the Ancient God Palace, those from September Great Power and the Gu Lan Holy Church, and also the various divine ability ancient texts Ye Chen had obtained over the years through his two lifetimes. They were all genuine rare editions, far beyond what the cultivation ancient texts of other forces could compare to.
Many people, after consulting them, gained entirely new understandings of their own cultivation paths. Some who were originally at cultivation bottlenecks, after consulting the ancient texts and manuscripts in the Martial Arts Divine Pavilion, unknowingly broke through, advancing in realm, making them overjoyed.
Furthermore, as his cultivation increased, Ye Chen's mastery of alchemy grew ever more profound. Over the years, he had also searched for pill secret manuals from the Mythical Era, learning much and often engaging in refinement. Therefore, the pills he refined were basically rare treasures difficult to find in the world.
Many people thus had their old injuries and ailments healed. Some powerhouses, after paying a great price and consuming precious pills, even broke through their realms.
This attracted even more powerhouses to join the Sacred Domain.
The great sect rose forcefully!
