After receiving it, Elder Xia studied it carefully for a moment. Upon confirming it was indeed a Super Divine King's main city, even he couldn't help but feel his heart stir with greed.
If he successfully refined such a Super Divine King's main city, it would be akin to mastering a Super Divine King Dao Weapon. Its value was immense; even when facing a Divine King, he could hold out for a long time by hiding inside it.
If refined into a war weapon, it would even be sufficient to contend directly with a Divine King.
"The intelligence," Ye Chen frowned.
Elder Xia looked at Ye Chen's indifferent expression, his eyebrows twitching rapidly several times. The look he gave Ye Chen was like that of a burly man seeing a completely naked great beauty, filled with undisguised greed.
For someone like this youth to casually toss out a Super Divine King's main city, he probably possessed endless treasures on his person.
Ye Chen naturally perceived Elder Xia's greedy thoughts. His gaze sharpened slightly, and instantly, a wisp of terrifying pressure swept directly over.
Boom—
Elder Xia felt as if struck by lightning. He was sent flying backward, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood, feeling as if many of his bones and tendons had fractured. He looked at Ye Chen in terror, trembling with fear.
This youth was not only young and rich with treasures, but also terrifyingly powerful, at the very least a super expert at the Divine King level or above.
Ye Chen said coldly, "Hurry up and bring me the relevant intelligence."
"Yes, my lord. Please wait a moment."
Elder Xia dared not delay any longer. He hurriedly summoned several intelligence light spheres, all concerning Supreme One-level intelligence and the latest information. He removed the restriction seals one by one and respectfully presented them to Ye Chen: "My lord, this is all the intelligence regarding the Supreme Ones on the Origin Ancient Path."
"Hmm," Ye Chen responded indifferently, which made Elder Xia feel as if granted a great reprieve. He didn't dare disturb Ye Chen in the slightest, immediately retreating to his original position, and even moving to a more distant location.
Because just moments ago, he had sensed a deadly, fatal aura from Ye Chen, an aura powerful enough to completely strangle him.
After paying the price of a Super Divine King's main city, Ye Chen learned all the information about the Supreme Ones on the Origin Ancient Path.
He learned that on the Origin Ancient Path, there were openly seventy-two Supreme One-level existences, including Ancient Great Emperors, Ancient Sovereigns, and Supreme Immortals.
Including the Flame Emperor, there were eleven Strongest Emperors, Immortal Kings, and other giants of the Chaos Sea.
Among them, the Ancient Great Emperors of the Sealed Realm lineage were primarily Tai Sheng Huang, the Battle Saint Ancestor, and the Flame Emperor, along with eight other Ancient Emperors like the Heavenly Heart Sword Emperor, the Angel Great Emperor, and the Desolate Emperor.
He also learned that Tai Sheng Huang and the Battle Saint Ancestor were located at the deepest part of the Origin Ancient Path, also the forefront leading to the Origin Land.
That region was also the most concentrated area of Supreme Ones, constantly accompanied by terrifying warfare, with occasional outbreaks of Supreme Emperor battles. The Strongest Emperors and Immortal Kings also participated in battles from time to time.
According to the information, the Battle Saint Ancestor and Tai Sheng Huang had formidable great enemies at the forefront of the Origin Ancient Path, whom they constantly faced, and sometimes even engaged in major battles.
Ye Chen recalled the scenes he witnessed in the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain. On the Origin Ancient Path, the Battle Saint Ancestor was unable to come precisely because great enemies on the Origin Ancient Path had taken action, delaying him.
These great enemies included not only the Strongest Emperors of the alien race but also other major foes from the Chaos Sea, posing significant constraints on the two Sealed Realm Strongest Emperors.
However, those great enemies were also unable to easily deal with Tai Sheng Huang and the Battle Saint Ancestor because within the Chaos Sea, other Strongest Emperors from the Sealed Realm Universe, such as Qin Shi Huang and the Time-Space Great Emperor, were constantly watching. Although not on the Origin Ancient Path, they would intervene at critical moments, making the opposing giants quite wary.
Now, the sudden emergence of the Flame Emperor had further strengthened the momentum of the Sealed Realm Universe's Emperor-Supreme faction.
According to the intelligence, when the Flame Emperor first appeared, several Strongest Emperors or Immortal Kings had taken action, attempting to prevent his descent onto the Origin Ancient Path and expel him. Ultimately, it was only due to the forceful intervention of Tai Sheng Huang and the Battle Saint Ancestor that they retreated.
"Seventy-two Supreme One-level existences. The Origin Ancient Path is indeed extraordinary," Ye Chen mused. Although he knew there were multiple Supreme Ones on the Origin Ancient Path, he hadn't expected there to be as many as seventy-two.
Supreme Ones were not Ancient Monarchs. A Chaos Ancient Universe often only gave birth to two or three per epoch. Some Chaos Ancient Universes might not even produce one in an entire epoch. A Chaos Primordial Great World could only give birth to one and could not produce a second.
Moreover, the intelligence light sphere contained certain annotations, stating that the seventy-two Supreme Ones were not necessarily all the Supreme Ones on the Origin Ancient Path. According to some secret rumors, there were Supreme Ones who had entered the Origin Ancient Path but had not established vast Supreme Domains, remaining in seclusion. Even Jiang Lan Pavilion might not know whether those Supreme Ones truly existed or who they were.
It could only be said that the waters of the Origin Ancient Path ran too deep.
"Everything is for the Origin Land, for eternity!"
Ye Chen understood.
Subsequently, he purchased intelligence on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking. This intelligence contained information about the most powerful group of Quasi-Monarchs on the Origin Ancient Path.
He had heard it mentioned back in the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain, so he was somewhat curious.
The price for the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking was very cheap, requiring only a thousand jin of spirit stones to purchase.
However, Jiang Lan Pavilion's intelligence was more comprehensive, containing Epoch Rankings for various major realms.
This time, Elder Xia, to make amends, gifted it to Ye Chen in a private capacity.
Ye Chen did not refuse and accepted it.
"The Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking aims to record the most powerful group of Quasi-Monarchs since this epoch. However, as it primarily targets Quasi-Monarchs on the Origin Ancient Path, it only has a slight understanding of Quasi-Monarchs from various places in the Chaos Sea and does not fully comprehend all Quasi-Monarch information, possessing certain flaws. We welcome guidance, criticism, and corrections."
Reading the first line of information on the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking, Ye Chen smiled. Basically, the most powerful cultivators of various major realms had come to the Origin Ancient Path. As long as the strong ones on the Origin Ancient Path were recorded, there would basically be no mistakes.
Of course, there were also some heaven-defying freaks in other worlds of the Chaos Sea not recorded on it.
For example, the Haotian War God was a heaven-defying Quasi-Monarch from the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain.
The force behind the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking had no understanding of the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain either, so they were unaware of the Haotian War God's existence.
"The Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking includes a hundred individuals, with the minimum standard being the Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch level."
"Great Perfection Quasi-Monarchs also have certain disparities due to differences in the number of Monarch Rules mastered, Dao Weapons and artifacts, divine abilities, secret techniques, etc."
"One hundredth place: Stone Clan Stone Giant, Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch, masters one hundred and three Monarch Rules, primarily Earth Monarch Rules, supplemented by Metal Monarch Rules. Stone body is innately extremely tough..."
Ye Chen began browsing the Epoch Quasi-Monarch Ranking.
