Undoubtedly, the arrival of the Soul-Restraining Hall's experts had made the atmosphere of the entire ancient city somewhat eerie.
Especially the several ancient great powers from the Soul-Restraining Hall, who kept staring at various alchemy masters from time to time, their eyes occasionally revealing a fervent light, as if they had locked onto some prey. This caused those alchemy masters some worry.
After all, these Soul-Restraining Hall members most enjoyed capturing top-tier geniuses or supreme experts.
"Esteemed guests need not worry. Since you have come to the territory of our Dan Emperor Clan, no one can harm you in the slightest."
Dan Chen, the Peak Great Power of the imperial clan, spoke. He was one of the clan's top-tier peerless experts, a Peak Great Power. His voice transmission now echoed throughout the entire ancient city, serving as an indirect warning to the Soul-Restraining Hall's experts not to act rashly, or else the Dan Emperor Clan would be the first not to spare them.
The Deputy Hall Master of the Soul-Restraining Hall merely gave a faint smile, then led the other great powers into a resplendent, golden-hued great hall and settled down.
From beginning to end, Ye Chen watched the backs of these Soul-Restraining Hall experts coldly from within the treasure pavilion, his eyes only revealing boundless, chilling, sharp killing intent.
If possible, at a critical moment, he would strike and eliminate these Soul-Restraining Hall experts. Because even if he didn't act, these Soul-Restraining Hall experts were constantly watching him and would likely attack him.
Fortunately, during the three days of waiting for the Alchemy World's gate to open, the group of experts from the Soul-Restraining Hall remained quite quiet.
Although Ye Chen always felt this quietness was somewhat eerie, like the calm before a storm.
During this period, even more alchemy masters gathered in the ancient city. Seven more alchemy masters appeared, bringing the total to more than fifteen.
What puzzled Ye Chen was that not a single true ninth-grade alchemy grandmaster had appeared, which left him somewhat perplexed.
After all, the Alchemy Grand Ceremony was a once-in-ten-millennium grand event for alchemy in the cosmos, and more importantly, it involved part of the Alchemy Emperor's legacy. Given such immense temptation, generally, no alchemist would miss it.
However, Ye Chen soon learned some rumors: the true alchemy grandmasters had already arrived and had been ushered into the Alchemy World in advance by the Dan Emperor Clan.
Although this might seem unfair to many alchemy masters, what kind of figures were alchemy grandmasters? Their status was comparable to Ancient Monarchs, naturally extraordinary.
A full three days passed. On this day, the imperial clan's Peak Great Power Dan Chen appeared, clad in solemn imperial clan attire. At this moment, he appeared dignified and solemn, speaking to the two imperial clan Heavenly Kings beside him: "Proceed!"
"Yes!"
The two imperial clan Heavenly Kings did not dare delay. They sacrificed an ancient alchemy cauldron that soared into the heavens. Then, the cauldron suddenly exploded, transforming into nine colors that shot toward the sky, giving birth to a colossal, sky-piercing light gate standing tall between heaven and earth.
The Alchemy World Gate!
This was the gate leading to the imperial clan's Alchemy World, inscribed with countless ancient texts and Dao phrases related to the alchemical path. Now open, one could see that on the other side of the gate was a world filled with magnificent mountains and rivers, how vast, how extraordinary.
"Esteemed guests, the Alchemy World Gate is now open. Please enter the Alchemy World one by one. Otherwise, it will close, and latecomers will not be accommodated."
As the words of Great Power Dan Chen fell, the countless experts who had remained in the relay station ancient city all soared into the sky at this moment, rushing one after another toward the Alchemy World.
Ye Chen strode out from the great hall, following the flow of people as he charged inside.
The Alchemy World was an Emperor World left behind by an Emperor and a Sovereign, naturally vast and boundless, unimaginably large.
Moreover, this was left behind by the Alchemy Emperor, the number one alchemy Great Emperor of ancient and modern times. The entire Emperor World had a special adaptability for cultivating Heaven and Earth Treasures. Precious materials often rare in the outside world could be seen everywhere within the Alchemy World.
One could also see streams of multicolored light flickering, scattered throughout the vast mountains and forests. All manner of medicines from across the heavens were present, everything one could wish for.
Even miraculous medicines of the ten-thousand-year treasure grade were not lacking, occasionally visible here and there.
All of this was astonishing. Truly worthy of being the Alchemy World opened up by the mythical Alchemy Emperor. The quantity of Heaven and Earth Treasures contained within was truly unprecedented, causing every alchemy master who saw this to have a gleam in their eyes, carrying a special fervor.
One could say even those few alchemy masters now revealed looks of astonishment.
It must be said the Alchemy World was truly a place especially suited for alchemical cultivation. With so many Heaven and Earth Treasures, it was enough to nurture numerous alchemy masters within the Alchemy World.
According to ancient legend, the Dan Emperor Clan was the number one alchemy force in the entire Ancient Universe, and perhaps even the entire Chaos Sea. This had a considerable degree of credibility.
Not only because it was the imperial clan left behind by the number one alchemist of ancient and modern times, the Alchemy Emperor, but also because the existence of the Alchemy World was enough to nurture countless alchemy masters.
Watching the experts from all heavens reveal looks of astonishment in their eyes, Dan Chen and the other imperial clan experts showed satisfied expressions.
After all, no matter how one put it, this was the Dan Emperor Clan's source of pride. As descendants of the Alchemy Emperor, they possessed the most and largest alchemy resources in the entire Ancient Universe.
In their eyes, these people were like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, belonging to the country bumpkin category.
Naturally, the Dan Emperor Clan was not afraid of these outsiders finding out. After all, as a dignified imperial clan, guarded by a supreme imperial weapon and with ancient fossils of Ancient Monarchs sitting within the Emperor World, their Dan Emperor Clan truly did not believe anyone would dare to forcibly break into the Dan Emperor Clan to rob. That would simply be a suicidal act.
Unless a true Emperor or Sovereign Supreme One came, otherwise, gods would be slain if they came, Buddhas would be slain if they came!
Among them, several massive divine ships had long since appeared, receiving the experts from all heavens, traversing the vast Alchemy World along the way.
The Alchemy World was no smaller than the Great Sovereign Emperor's Ancient Emperor World. Moreover, along the way, it appeared prosperous and bustling, with numerous towns and cities scattered like stars across it. There were also continuous stretches of primordial lands, with many ancient extinct great demons and primordial ancient beasts living within. It was clearly a flourishing and prosperous Emperor World.
Of course, not everyone in the Alchemy World was a descendant of the imperial clan. True imperial clan descendants numbered less than one-tenth. More were vassal races of the Dan Emperor Clan, among which were many powerful clans, with numerous experts. More than one or two great powers had been born.
All of this increasingly demonstrated the Alchemy World's flourishing prosperity, far surpassing the outside world in strength.
Along the way, Dan Chen led the experts from all heavens to appreciate the various sights of the Alchemy World.
Although the divine ships were fast, a full day passed before they finally arrived at the center of the Alchemy World.
Dan Tian City. That was an imperial city standing at the highest point in the heavens, above the nine layers of clouds. Naturally, it was countless times larger and more majestic than the relay station ancient city. Moreover, the entire ancient city was very special, taking on the shape of an alchemy cauldron, accompanied by radiant, colorful auspicious clouds. The fragrance of alchemy permeated the air; it was extremely flourishing and prosperous.
Within it were gathered basically all the imperial clan elites of the Dan Emperor Clan. In fact, more than half of all the alchemy masters within the entire Dan Emperor Clan were in Dan Tian City.
