"Indeed, they are nothing but cowards, only capable of holing up within the Emperor's Pass. Sigh, it's truly disappointing. Why weren't these weak races directly annihilated in the previous epoch?"
Alien race powerhouses outside the Tenth Emperor's Pass deliberately shook their heads and sighed, displaying all sorts of contempt and disdain for the myriad realms side.
However, on the Emperor's Pass, the myriad Great Powers remained composed. They were all ancient beings who had lived for tens of thousands of years, long having attained a state of unperturbed calm. How could they possibly be provoked into opening the city gates by such taunting tactics?
Later on, some simply went into seclusion and returned, dismissing everyone else to go back as well. No one was to remain stationed on the Emperor's Pass.
"Commander!" someone spoke with great reluctance. It was a peak Saint Lord, very powerful, filled with unwillingness, eager to take action.
"Return!" an ancient Great Sage spoke, his expression icy and leaving no room for doubt. He directly wrapped up this Saint Lord and left, returning to the Myriad Domains Palace.
Yet, Ye Chen keenly noticed a flicker of an unusual light in this Saint Lord's eyes, a fleeting glint. If not for his sharp spiritual perception, he truly wouldn't have been able to detect it.
Later, Ye Chen and the others also left, returning to the Myriad Domains Palace, where they met with familiar ancient Great Sages like the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord.
"Little Friend Qian Yue, why have you come as well? You should be heading to the Ultimate Ancient Path."
Several ancient Great Sages frowned. Currently, all those young generation's supremes and Imperial Sons from the myriad realms had embarked on the Ultimate Ancient Path, engaging in battles, undergoing transformation, and advancing towards the pinnacle of the Great Dao. An extraordinary young generation's supreme like the Battle Saint King should also be treading the Ultimate Ancient Path.
"I've been there, and I've returned."
Ye Chen's words shocked everyone. When had he gone? Why didn't they know?
Ye Chen briefly recounted the events before and after his journey to the Ultimate Ancient Path. Present were all familiar ancient Great Sages: the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord, Flame God Venerable One, Nine Void Divine King, Xia Zhidi, and others. Upon hearing his experiences, they were all astonished.
None of them had expected that Ye Chen, while heading to the Emperor's Pass, had accidentally strayed into the Ultimate Ancient Path outside the Sealed Boundary Universe. There, he had encountered the strongest young talents and even young generation's supremes from various ancient universes. He had even slain an alien race young generation's supreme, Yin Ming, and defeated the alien Imperial Son, An Yu.
Naturally, regarding Yu Qing and the Immortality Immortal Spring, Ye Chen withheld some information. The temptation of the Immortality Immortal Spring was too great—the Primordial Immortal World's overlord, the Longevity Great Emperor, was suspected to have attained emperorhood relying on it. Moreover, it concerned Yu Qing's safety. Even though these were all familiar Great Powers, he could only keep it secret.
Of course, he felt it necessary to inform the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord about it afterward.
Even so, all these experiences, which could be described as dreamlike and illusory, left the several ancient Great Sages present dumbfounded. Only the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord remained as composed as ever.
No one had imagined that Ye Chen had already accomplished a series of remarkable feats on the Ultimate Ancient Path so quickly—slaying the strongest young talents from various ancient universes, killing the alien young generation's supreme Yin Ming, defeating the alien Imperial Son An Yu. If this news spread, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the alien army.
Moreover, anyone could see the dazzling brilliance upon Ye Chen; he was absolutely a future Great Emperor in the making.
However, when mentioning the Perilous Domain of the Absolute Land, the ancient Great Sages present all expressed they had never heard of it, even those from imperial clans like Flame God Venerable One and Holy Feather Venerable One were the same.
Only the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord slightly frowned, as if recalling something.
"Little Friend Qian Yue, we suspect you might have stepped into an unknown spatial passage, thus leaving the Sealed Boundary Universe and entering the Ultimate Ancient Path," explained Holy Feather Venerable One. He hailed from an imperial clan and knew more. Moreover, there were precedents in history, even during the Mythical Epoch.
However, Holy Feather Venerable One didn't mention that such precedents at most only involved leaving the Sealed Boundary Universe, not entering that most mysterious Ultimate Ancient Path.
It must be known that unless one was a specific individual, even an Emperor would find it difficult to enter the Ultimate Ancient Path, as it was protected by supreme laws.
"Fellow Daoist Great Powers, please proceed to the Myriad Domains Palace immediately for a meeting!"
At this moment, a vast voice resounded throughout the Tenfold Emperor's Pass.
The group of ancient Great Sages bid farewell to Ye Chen one after another, soaring into the sky and vanishing into the grand Myriad Domains Palace.
It was then that Ye Chen remembered he had forgotten to ask the First Emperor Pass City Lord about the suspected location of the ruins related to Yiyi's origins.
However, the First Emperor Pass City Lord had also entered the Myriad Domains Palace. It seemed he wouldn't be emerging for a while. Ye Chen had no choice but to take the two little creatures for a stroll within the Tenth Emperor's Pass.
The Tenth Emperor's Pass was forged from a true Primordial Emperor World. It was excessively vast, boundless and expansive, containing endless primordial ancient lands. Moreover, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant and astonishing. The earth nurtured true dragons—these were massive dragon veins. Fearsome formations devoured chaotic energy, transforming it into boundless Great Dao essence, continuously nourishing this Primordial Emperor World. Thus, it was also a holy land for cultivation.
Furthermore, because it was located at the border wastelands of the Sealed Boundary Universe, a crucial stronghold guarding the borders, the atmosphere of cultivation was exceptionally intense. Unlike the relative peace of the myriad realms, everywhere was filled with a state of tension.
Although not everyone encountered along the way was a true powerhouse—there were also many young seeds of the new generation—they all exuded a sharp, bloody aura. Clearly, they were far beyond comparable to the favored sons of heaven from the myriad realms.
Numerous colossal powers stood within this vast Emperor World, truly a place where tigers crouched and dragons hid. It even seemed more terrifying than the Human Emperor City, far surpassing the First Emperor's Pass, and could be called the strongest ancient realm of the Sealed Boundary Universe.
Naturally, Ye Chen did not rashly enter the domains of those colossal powers. Here, unlike the myriad realms, it was much more tense. One could not wander recklessly, otherwise unnecessary conflicts could easily arise.
At this moment, Yiyi suddenly shot into the sky with a whoosh. The Golden Little Divine Dragon on the other side did the same. This sudden move left Ye Chen somewhat stunned and puzzled. He immediately followed suit.
"Yiyi, Little Divine Dragon, what are you doing?" Ye Chen chased after them and asked.
"I just smelled a special fragrance," Yiyi said.
"Me too!" the Golden Little Divine Dragon also said. "And it feels somewhat familiar."
"Fragrance? What fragrance?" Ye Chen frowned. He hadn't smelled any fragrance. He was a Battle Saint, his five senses and six perceptions were extraordinarily sharp. He shouldn't be unable to smell it.
"Little Yueyue, just follow us. We guarantee you'll have good fortune," Yiyi said, transforming into a streak of white light and shooting rapidly into the distance with a whoosh.
The Golden Little Divine Dragon nodded honestly and also rushed over.
Good fortune? What good fortune?
Although Ye Chen didn't quite understand, he also soared into the sky, following the two little beasts as they charged into the distance.
