The Battle Saint King taking disciples?
All the prodigies of the myriad realms looked at the Battle Saint King with blazing eyes.
Although he was still very young, similar in age to them, with at most a hundred more years of cultivation time—which was very short, even negligible, compared to the older generation of powerhouses in the cultivation world who often counted their years in the thousands—he had already reached the realm of a Great Power early on, allowing him to stand shoulder to shoulder with true ancient Great Sages. He had also founded a peerless great sect and had long been qualified to take disciples.
Regarding the Battle Saint King taking disciples, they were naturally all extremely eager, hoping to become his first disciple and inherit his legacy.
After all, with the Battle Saint King's ability to be invincible across the myriad realms, whether one received the inheritance of the Battle Saint Lineage or not, receiving his guidance would surely qualify one to reach the pinnacle of the Myriad Domains' pyramid in the future.
However, Ye Chen gave a slight bitter smile and said, "Senior, you should know that my Battle Saint Lineage can only be passed on to one person. The matter of taking disciples must be treated with utmost caution and gravity."
The Dragon Phoenix Academy Head stroked his beard and laughed heartily, "Battle Saint King, I naturally understand your concerns. But it doesn't necessarily mean you must pass on the Battle Saint inheritance; you can also take disciples and teach them other things. However, today, I'll make a suggestion for you: take these five youngsters as your disciples."
Upon hearing this, all the prodigies of the myriad realms cast blazing gazes toward the five strongest Heaven's Prides. Although there was some jealousy, there was also a degree of acceptance, as the five had truly surpassed the others by a significant margin.
Seeing this, Ye Chen pondered for a moment before turning to look at the five strongest sensations and said, "Do you five wish to become my disciples?"
The five strongest Heaven's Prides instantly understood and immediately knelt before Ye Chen, "Disciple Lun Tianzi pays respects to Master!"
"Disciple Hidden King pays respects to Master!"
"Discile Qilin King pays respects to Master!"
"Disciple Yue Divine Maiden pays respects to Master!"
"Disciple Tongxuan King pays respects to Master!"
Swish, swish, swish—the five strongest sensations all knelt in the void, performing the disciple-paying-homage ceremony.
Seeing the five outstanding and dazzling strongest Heaven's Prides kneeling before him, Ye Chen also revealed a faint smile and no longer refused. His expression then turned solemn as he said, "Today, I will first accept you five as nominal disciples. In the future, if your characters are deemed suitable after observation, you will be accepted as formal disciples. However, you must understand that the Battle Saint Lineage will not be passed on lightly. When the time comes, other inheritances will be bestowed upon you."
"Naturally, you should also understand that your master is about to embark on the Ultimate Ancient Path and may not be able to formally guide you in the future. But you need not worry; you can go to the Ancient Orchid Great World. There, your master has left behind some ancient scriptures and techniques, and there are also several Great Powers stationed there whom you can visit. In my absence, they will teach you on my behalf. Do you understand?"
"We understand!"
How could the five strongest Heaven's Prides not understand? They were also pleasantly surprised. Although it wasn't the Battle Saint King personally teaching them, it was still ancient Great Sages personally instructing them, which was also a tremendous blessing.
Ye Chen said, "For this journey on the Ultimate Ancient Path, your master does not know how many years it will be before I return. But you need not worry. When your master returns one day, I will surely reign supreme over the world. If you become sufficiently powerful in the future or wish to undergo the ultimate trial, you can also come to the Ultimate Ancient Path. Your master will be waiting for your arrival ahead."
"Yes, Master!"
The five strongest Heaven's Prides sincerely shouted!
Having accepted the five strongest Heaven's Prides as disciples, Ye Chen was now ready to formally embark on his journey to the Ultimate Ancient Path.
Led by the Dragon Phoenix Academy Head, Ye Chen followed him, traveling forward and passing through various secret realm worlds until they finally arrived directly at the deepest part of the Dragon Phoenix Academy.
There stood an ancient and mottled altar, not particularly large. The entire altar was inscribed with countless profound and complex Dao marks, densely covering its surface.
More importantly, even with Ye Chen's current level of attainment, he was shocked to discover that over half of the Great Dao secret patterns on the altar were mysterious. Their laws and Great Dao were completely different; he couldn't even comprehend them, as if these Great Dao laws didn't exist in this world.
And it wasn't just one type; there were several different ones, spread across every corner of the ancient altar.
The Dragon Phoenix Academy Head spoke up, "Did you notice? These are not the law Dao marks of our Sealed Realm Universe, but the Great Dao laws of other Ancient Universes. It requires the parallel operation of several Ancient Universes' Great Daos to send someone to the Ultimate Ancient Path."
Ye Chen nodded silently. The Ultimate Ancient Path was truly extraordinary; it was probably for this reason that it was difficult for outsiders to enter.
Moreover, those not of the younger generation would be rejected by the entire Ultimate Ancient Path; even Emperors could not enter that ancient path. The root cause of all this was that the Ultimate Ancient Path was too mysterious, born in the Chaos Sea and containing unimaginable, immense secrets.
Boom—
The Dragon Phoenix Academy Head didn't say more. He directly acted, using a mysterious method to activate and revive the entire ancient altar. All the Great Dao talismans inscribed on it began to glow and intertwine. The Great Dao laws of various Ancient Universes manifested, emanating different Great Dao auras.
Then, it completely boiled over. Accompanied by a fearsome, thunderous roar, a mysterious gate of light appeared on the ancient altar. Inside was pitch black, deep and profound. From it flowed a majestic and surging Great Dao aura, sweeping and swelling, so oppressive that the Great Dao of this world retreated.
Ye Chen had felt it before—that was the aura of the Ultimate Ancient Path. On the other side of the gate of light was the legendary Ultimate Ancient Path.
He was finally about to set foot on the Ultimate Ancient Path once again.
And this time, he would no longer be forced out by the rules of heaven and earth; he would fight all the way to the final checkpoint.
"Battle Saint King, you may go up now. But there is one thing I hope you can be careful about. The Ultimate Ancient Path is a road that gathers the strongest elites from various Ancient Universes. Even the young generation's supremes and Imperial Sons from various Ancient Universes will appear, making it an extremely brutal and bloody trial. Although you are very powerful, hailed as the number one young generation's supreme across the myriad realms, you must never be careless." As he said this, the Dragon Phoenix Academy Head's expression was very grave, repeatedly giving admonitions.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Senior, there's no need to worry. I am clear about that. Moreover, I once set foot on the Ultimate Ancient Path for a few days in the past. Now, it's just a return to an old path."
The Dragon Phoenix Academy Head was shocked. He hadn't known that Ye Chen had once set foot on the Ultimate Ancient Path. And wasn't that mysterious Ultimate Ancient Path said to only allow return after reaching the very end? How had he come back?
However, Ye Chen didn't answer, merely saying, "In the past, on the Fifth Trial Continent, I killed the alien race young generation's supreme Yin Ming and also defeated the alien race Imperial Son An Yu. This time, I will similarly sweep through everything."
His words contained absolute confidence, fearless of all, determined to sweep through everything!
