The Doumen Divine King wore a bitter smile.
He truly hadn't expected that after dominating the world for countless years, especially after stepping into the Divine King Domain where he found no match in the vast world, and now having even condensed a Divine King Spirit, making his power far greater than before... yet facing a mysteriously appearing young Divine King, he was as fragile as clay chickens and pottery dogs, utterly unable to withstand a single blow.
But he had to admit that Ye Chen's strength was such that not only he himself, but probably no one in the entire Weiyang Great World could stand against him.
He let out a bitter laugh. "Your Excellency is truly a peerless hero. I'm afraid in all the vastness of the Weiyang Great World, only a handful of people could be your match."
Although the Doumen Divine King dominated the great world, he was not the strongest. Above him, naturally, there existed even more powerful experts.
Rumors said that some had even broken through the Divine King Domain and stepped into an entirely new realm, becoming truly invincible.
Ye Chen remained silent.
The Doumen Divine King cupped his hands in salute, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Although I am no match for Your Excellency, I have at least lived for over a hundred thousand years, yet I have never heard of any name related to you. And you are so young. May I dare ask for your title?"
Ye Chen smiled slightly. "Chen."
He naturally wouldn't casually reveal his true identity. The experts of the Sacred Emperor Domain faction would love nothing more than to kill him.
"Chen?" The Doumen Divine King murmured it a few times but had never heard any related name. He was extremely puzzled but didn't dare to ask further.
He also understood that Ye Chen's purpose for coming this time was simply to have Doumen investigate some matters for him. Having witnessed Ye Chen's world-shaking, peerless cultivation, he naturally complied without question.
"Lord Chen, I heard you wish to know information regarding the 'Supreme Inheritance'," the Doumen Divine King got straight to the point but quickly denied it, shaking his head. "But it's a pity. I do not know."
Although Doumen was one of the world's top intelligence organizations, claiming to grasp all information under heaven, regarding the Supreme Inheritance, they had not a single clue.
Because throughout the ages, the existence of the Supreme realm had never been heard of, not even the most ancient texts had any record of it.
Hearing this, Ye Chen felt disappointed. He still suspected he had come to an illusory great world without relevant information.
Should he just leave like this?
But there was no other way.
What was also unfortunate was that the Ancient Saint Emperor was still lingering in the endless spatial turbulence; he couldn't leave for a while.
Unless he sent his Emperor Reincarnation Body specifically, but that would easily expose his location.
Seeing the look of disappointment on Ye Chen's face, the Doumen Divine King also sighed softly. It was just that in this aspect, he hadn't been able to help Ye Chen much. Otherwise, for such a peerless expert who could suppress him with a mere raise of his hand, the Doumen Divine King wouldn't mind showing goodwill and leaving behind a favorable connection.
Being able to befriend such a peerless existence who stood above him would be an immense blessing for both him and Doumen.
"Since that's the case, I shall not disturb you further," Ye Chen said, preparing to leave with disappointment.
At that moment, the Doumen Divine King suddenly jolted, as if remembering something. "Your Excellency, wait! I think there should be someone who knows of the Supreme Inheritance's existence."
Ye Chen's eyes lit up. "Who?"
The others also looked at the Doumen Divine King with burning gazes.
"The Tong Gu Divine King," the Doumen Divine King said.
"The Tong Gu Divine King!?"
Both the Ancient Desolate Dragon and the thirteen Great Powers of Doumen were shocked. "Is His Majesty the Tong Gu Divine King still alive?"
The Tong Gu Divine King was an extremely ancient Divine King, whose time of existence was far longer than anyone imagined.
Not to mention these Great Powers, even an Old Antique like the Doumen Divine King who had lived in the mortal world for over two hundred thousand years—when he was still a weak cultivator, the Tong Gu Divine King was already a mighty Ancient Divine King who shook the world.
It could be said that the Tong Gu Divine King had witnessed the changes of era after era in the mortal world, even witnessing the rise and dominance of one Ancient Divine King after another in the great world.
It was said that the Tong Gu Divine King had lived in the mortal world for over a million years, long exceeding the lifespan limit of a Divine King, yet he never passed away, which was perplexing.
Some speculated that the Tong Gu Divine King had consumed a supreme elixir and lived a second life.
Others said that the Tong Gu Divine King had long since transcended the Divine King realm and stepped into another domain.
But it was undeniable that the Tong Gu Divine King was an Old Antique who was ancient yet undying, an ancestor-level existence to almost everyone in the mortal world.
The Doumen Divine King continued, "The Tong Gu Divine King—even with my seniority, I must address him as 'Senior'. This is because he is an extremely ancient Divine King existence, said to have been born in the Primordial Era of Heaven and Earth Creation. He later sealed himself and re-emerged in this era. Yet even so, he has lived for no less than a million years."
"Back when I had just been promoted to Divine King not long ago, the Tong Gu Divine King came to congratulate me on becoming the newly ascended Divine King of the Weiyang Great World and shared a drink with me. I still remember that after drinking, the Tong Gu Divine King said that in the Primordial Era of Heaven and Earth Creation, he had once followed a supreme existence. It was said to be the one who created the entire Weiyang Great World, called the Supreme One!"
"The one who created the Weiyang Great World is called the Supreme One?" Hope instantly ignited in Ye Chen's heart. "Where is the Tong Gu Divine King?"
Although this journey had been full of twists and turns, being able to learn that the mysterious Tong Gu Divine King knew of the Supreme One's existence was still a gain.
The Doumen Divine King shook his head. "I don't know either. The Tong Gu Divine King is extremely mysterious. His whereabouts throughout his life are elusive and untraceable. Even Ancient Divine Kings find it difficult to locate his traces. He is like a dragon whose head is seen but not its tail—often only he can find you, not you him."
Ye Chen nodded. Since the Tong Gu Divine King was born in the Primordial Era of the Weiyang Great World and had once followed the Supreme One, if he wanted to find the Supreme Inheritance, perhaps he really needed to start with him.
Moreover, he had a suspicion: could the Tong Gu Divine King be the one concealing all traces of the Supreme One in the world? All of this might be preparation for the current two factions seeking the Supreme Inheritance.
After all, when it concerned the Supreme One, nothing was impossible.
Of course, the Doumen Divine King claimed that people of this world couldn't find this Tong Gu Divine King's traces, but that was only them—it didn't include Ye Chen.
It must be known that Ye Chen was an Eternal Quasi-Sovereign comparable to an Ancient Sovereign, his capabilities far surpassing those of the Doumen Divine King and others in the Weiyang Great World by who knows how many times.
"No time to delay. Find the whereabouts of this Tong Gu Divine King now and see if there really is a Supreme Inheritance in the Weiyang Great World," Ye Chen thought to himself, then looked at the Doumen Divine King. "Do you have any object related to the Tong Gu Divine King that carries his aura? I need to deduce and find his whereabouts."
The Doumen Divine King was startled and hurriedly said, "Yes, Lord Chen, please wait a moment."
He opened his inner space, searched for a while, and finally, a Gourd appeared. It was rough and dry all over, very ordinary. Even those present couldn't sense the slightest trace of Dao charm from it.
Tilting the Gourd, the sound of splashing water came from inside.
"A wine gourd?" Ye Chen was surprised.
