Under the suspicious gazes of many, the group entered the reassembled Immortal Divine Hall, which simultaneously closed itself off from the outside world filled with various doubts.
"This humble one, Yun Aotian, pays his respects to all the young lords."
Within the resplendent and magnificent Immortal Divine Hall, the Great Emperor God-King of the Aotian Divine Dynasty bowed respectfully to Ye Chen and the others, not daring to show the slightest neglect.
Faced with this, Shen Rong could not easily make a move again, merely frowning and asking, "You know of us?"
Yun Aotian replied respectfully, "All you young lords must be Imperial Sons, Imperial Daughters, scions of immortal paths, or Great Perfection Supreme Talents, correct?"
"How do you know that?" This only deepened everyone's confusion.
"It is not just this humble one who knows; practically everyone else in this entire starry sky knows," Yun Aotian said. "Because of an ancestral ancient legend."
"An ancestral ancient legend?"
The group grew even more suspicious.
Yun Aotian explained, "To be honest with you, lords, the truth is that neither our Yihuang Ancient Star nor the other races or ancient life lands in this starry sky originally belonged here. They were all brought here in the past by a Supreme One and placed within this starry sky to continuously multiply. The purpose is simple: to become guides to the Other Shore, the Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain."
Hearing that it was indeed related to the Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, the group couldn't help but focus intently.
"Explain everything clearly," Shen Rong commanded.
Facing the overwhelmingly domineering Shen Rong, Yun Aotian felt somewhat apprehensive. After all, this was an absolutely powerful existence. He dared not hide too much and said, "The Supreme One who captured the various races and ancient life lands back then left behind information. One day, when a group of supremely powerful young geniuses suddenly enters this starry sky—be they Imperial Sons, Imperial Daughters, scions of immortal paths, or the strongest young Supreme Ones—the sole purpose of the various ancient life lands or races is to guide these supremely powerful geniuses to the Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain. Once this task is completed, not only can they leave this starry sky, but they can also receive a generous gift left by the Supreme One."
"So that's how it is."
The group finally understood, but one point remained unclear: why leave these ancient life lands or races behind to act as guides? Why not simply allow the trial-takers to reach the Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain from the start, saving a lot of trouble?
However, Ye Chen did not immediately believe this. If they were truly just guides, then from the very beginning, creatures like the Ant Dragons and the Insect Race Mother Queen would not have attacked him.
There must be other purposes involved.
"Speak. Besides becoming guides, you can presumably also take on other roles, such as killing the trial-takers heading to the Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, or perhaps something else," Ye Chen said indifferently, startling Yun Aotian, who seemed not to have expected his perception to be so sharp.
"Reporting to this young lord, you are absolutely correct," Yun Aotian did not deny it. "Besides becoming guides to the Other Shore, the other option is to stand opposite the trial-takers and become slayers. By killing a trial-taker, one can seize their qualification to proceed to the Other Shore and contend for the 'Supreme One' Immortal Fate left jointly by the Supreme Ones of the myriad heavens."
"You also know about the 'Supreme One' Immortal Fate?"
Everyone was astonished.
Yun Aotian said, "This is all information left by the Supreme One, which has long been known to the various ancient life stars or lands."
Ye Chen and the others nodded. Clearly, this was intentionally arranged by the Supreme Ones of the myriad heavens as a final test. Reaching the Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain so easily was far from as simple as imagined.
At this moment, Ye Cangqiong looked at Yun Aotian with a half-smile. "Don't you want to compete for the trial-taker's qualification, go to the other side of the Other Shore, and contend for the 'Supreme One' Immortal Fate left by the Supreme Ones of the myriad heavens?"
Hearing this, Yun Aotian gave an awkward smile. "I admit I very much want to, but I also know my own capabilities. I don't have the qualification to contend with you young lords. So, it's better to act as a guide, leading all you young lords to the other side of the Other Shore. This way, I can still receive the generous reward left by the Supreme One."
"You are indeed a wise man who knows the times. That's very correct. After all, the strength of the other trial-takers who entered this starry sky is not much inferior to ours. Of course, except for one freakishly strong guy." Shen Rong couldn't help but glance at Ye Chen, sighing helplessly in his heart.
Even a proud Imperial Son like him had to admit that Ye Chen was a freak.
Back in Tai Sheng Huang's Ancient Emperor Realm, the two had been evenly matched opponents. Who could have imagined that in just three to four hundred years, the gap between them would become so vast it was insurmountable?
This fact somewhat annoyed him.
The other Imperial Sons and Daughters also sighed repeatedly.
Only Yu Qing and A Beinu smiled gently, quite happy, for this was the husband they loved.
Following Shen Rong's gaze, Yun Aotian glanced at Ye Chen. Although the latter had never displayed particularly astonishing abilities, these terrifying young lords all subtly seemed to regard him as their leader, enough to indicate this person's fearsomeness.
He suspected that even if he went all out, he might not last more than ten rounds against this person.
However, if Yun Aotian knew Ye Chen's true strength, he would probably think he might not even last one round...
"How can we reach the Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain?" Ye Chen asked directly.
"Very simple, by using a teleportation formation," Yun Aotian replied.
"That's all it takes?"
"Of course not. Using a teleportation formation to reach the Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain is not that simple."
Yun Aotian shook his head. "To reach the Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain on the other side of the Other Shore, one needs to use the teleportation formations of the five great divine dynasties on Yihuang Ancient Star. In the past, a Supreme One left a Supreme Teleportation Formation on Yihuang Ancient Star that leads directly to the other side of the Other Shore. However, no single force on Yihuang Ancient Star completely controls it; it was divided among the five great divine dynasties of the current era. Only by gathering the parts of the teleportation formation obtained by the five great divine dynasties and combining them can one teleport to the Other Shore."
"In that case, let's act immediately," Shen Rong said directly, causing Yun Aotian to be slightly taken aback. Then, seeing the other young geniuses nod in deep agreement, he was utterly dumbfounded.
Only then did he remember that each of these young geniuses possessed terrifying strength far surpassing his own.
Gathering the Supreme Teleportation Formations of the five great divine dynasties would be effortless for them.
Next, with Yun Aotian's help, the human race's group of geniuses went to the other four great divine dynasties to obtain one corner each of the Supreme Teleportation Formation.
Naturally, they encountered fierce resistance from the four great divine dynasties. Even the God-King progenitors of the various divine dynasties were alarmed and personally appeared, unleashing a might that shook the entire Yihuang Ancient Star.
However, Ye Chen and the others merely displayed a hint of their world-shaking strength, causing these divine dynasty God-Kings to dare not resist.
Because they all clearly understood that among this group of over a dozen young geniuses, any single one who stepped forward possessed the terrifying cultivation to utterly erase the entire Yihuang Ancient Star.
They could only passively choose to submit.
In the end, the parts of the teleportation formation held by the five great divine dynasties were gathered. In fact, what each obtained was an ancient altar platform, each engraved with a part of the teleportation formation.
