Even if the Alchemy Emperor still lived in this world, it was a pity that he had not returned through endless ages. As his descendants, the Dan Emperor Clan held an intense, heartfelt reverence for him. Everyone hoped to one day see their Imperial Ancestor again.
Without a doubt, as long as the Battle Saint King was willing to help, they had great hope of personally paying homage to the Alchemy Emperor.
"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. Senior Alchemy Emperor has shown me grace, and the Dan Emperor Clan has also shown me grace. If the Dan Emperor Clan wishes to see Senior Alchemy Emperor again, I am naturally willing to help." Ye Chen pondered briefly before continuing, "I possess a supreme treasure that can directly travel to the Origin Ancient Path, but it cannot land at precise coordinates. However, I must warn you, Fellow Daoist, the Origin Ancient Path is extremely perilous. It gathers many Supremes from the various Ancient Chaos Universes of the Chaos Sea, and even has multiple colossi from antiquity. Even I dare not claim I can definitely traverse the Origin Ancient Path, reach its depths, and enter the territory where Senior Alchemy Emperor resides."
The Dan Emperor Clan also had some understanding of the Origin Ancient Path. It was a place where the Supremes of the heavens gathered, unprecedented.
Emperors coexisted, colossi from antiquity stood eternal—it was incomparably dangerous, far more terrifying than any single Ancient Chaos Universe.
But the old Sovereign smiled faintly. "It's fine. Our Dan Emperor Clan is, after all, the descendant of the Alchemy Emperor. Our Imperial Ancestor is the highest achiever in the path of alchemy. The Emperor Pills he refines are coveted even by Supremes and colossi from antiquity. I'm afraid few would dare offend our Imperial Ancestor. If we truly reach the Origin Ancient Path, merely invoking his name would likely deter most from targeting us."
Ye Chen gave a bitter smile. He had just remembered that the reason he found every step difficult was entirely because of the alien races.
The existence of the Alchemy Emperor was something even the alien races dared not easily offend!
"Very well. In that case, Fellow Daoist and some of your clansmen should prepare. I will stay with the Dan Emperor Clan for a few days." Ye Chen said. Before leaving, and at the Dan Emperor Clan's insistence, he also took the World Stone and the seedling of the Immortal Deathless Emperor Medicine.
Of course, he would not take these from the Dan Emperor Clan for nothing. He made a promise, owing the Dan Emperor Clan a favor, and pledged to personally forge a Monarch-level Forbidden Weapon. Even if wielded by a God King, it could unleash power at the Monarch level at a critical moment, equivalent to a Monarch personally striking.
However, a Monarch-level Forbidden Weapon had a limited lifespan and could only be used effectively a few times.
Additionally, he would also forge a Star Sky Overlord-level Sovereign ancient city, integrating offense and defense, making it an absolute war weapon. In the hands of an Ancient Sovereign, it could even contend with a Star Sky Overlord.
The present era was an unprecedented golden age of prosperity. It wasn't just one Ancient Chaos Universe; the entire Chaos Sea and all the major Ancient Chaos Universes were in this golden age.
The existence of Ancient Sovereigns would become the norm, and Star Sky Overlords would also increase.
The Dan Emperor Clan had to make corresponding preparations to guard against the impact of these Sovereigns of the heavens.
With such a Star Sky Overlord-level ancient city and a Monarch-level Forbidden Weapon as foundation, there was no doubt the Dan Emperor Clan would become vastly more powerful and better able to withstand the shocks of this era.
Of course, external objects were ultimately external objects. True strength lay in one's own power.
Only by giving birth to a Star Sky Overlord, or even a Monarch, could the Dan Emperor Clan pass on its heritage more securely in this era.
The materials for crafting the Monarch-level Forbidden Weapon and the Sovereign ancient city were naturally provided by the Dan Emperor Clan. Forging a Star Sky Overlord-level ancient city sounded difficult, but for Ye Chen, it was actually quite manageable. His level had reached that stage; he only needed to re-temper the Sovereign ancient city provided by the Dan Emperor Clan and inscribe it with Star Sky Overlord-level Great Dao runes and formations to accomplish it.
Naturally, the Monarch-level Forbidden Weapon was much more difficult. After all, Ye Chen had only achieved Monarch in his physical body; his cultivation realm had not yet reached that level.
Fortunately, a Forbidden Weapon was ultimately a Forbidden Weapon, with limited uses. In a certain sense, it was easier to refine than a conventional Dao weapon.
He entered the Dan Emperor Clan's Imperial Treasure Vault. Witnessing the dazzling array of endless imperial treasures, even someone as wealthy as him couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Truly worthy of an imperial clan of a colossus from antiquity, especially the Alchemy Emperor. The imperial legacy he left for his clan was incredible.
Of course, Ye Chen did not embezzle anything. He only took a few pieces of exceptionally rare divine materials. Then he retrieved some fragments of Supreme Emperor weapons obtained from the Primordial Chaos Emperor's Trace. He pierced his finger, and a string of Monarch Dao blood flowed out, transforming into a vivid, blood-red chain of order. He used it to sketch Great Dao runes, inscribing them onto the fragments to forge the Forbidden Weapon.
Originally, crafting such a Monarch-level Forbidden Weapon would require at least several years to complete. But by utilizing the characteristics of the Primordial Chaos Long River, it was forged within a few days.
The emergence of the Monarch-level Forbidden Weapon thoroughly shook the entire Dan Emperor Clan, drawing everyone's attention.
Especially the Dan Emperor Clan's old Sovereign, who was greatly astonished. The Battle Saint King had actually succeeded in forging such a Monarch-level Forbidden Weapon in just a few short days. Such a feat was something other Monarchs could never achieve.
Of course, he did not tell anyone about the existence of the Primordial Chaos Long River.
After completing all this, Ye Chen finally left, resting in a minor world arranged by the Dan Emperor Clan.
With a thought, he released the Chaos Great Cauldron, the Sealing Gate, and the Immortal King Feather Sword. Unfortunately, the Chaos Great Cauldron was shattered, the Sealing Gate was broken, and the Immortal King Feather Sword's radiance was dim—all severely damaged.
The Chaos Great Cauldron was mainly damaged because it followed him through the physical body Monarch tribulation. The later strike from the Monarch bone arrow wasn't too severe.
The Sealing Gate and Immortal King Feather Sword, however, couldn't keep up with Ye Chen's rapid advancement and failed to evolve synchronously. They couldn't withstand the attack of the Monarch bone arrow, shattering or dimming.
He opened his mouth and spat out Chaos Source Fire. It wrapped around threads of Chaos True Blood, causing the fire to blaze even more fiercely. It enveloped the Chaos Great Cauldron, which had shattered into numerous fragments, and set it ablaze. Immediately, it began to heal.
Three days later, the Chaos Great Cauldron was restored to its original state.
The Sealing Gate and Immortal King Feather Sword were also fully repaired under the tempering of Monarch-level Chaos Source Fire.
"Achieving Monarch through the physical body is equivalent to having one foot stepping into the Emperor Dao domain. I have also grasped a portion of Emperor Dao power and can inscribe Monarch runes to empower my Dao weapons." Ye Chen spoke, sweeping his gaze over the three Dao weapons.
These three Dao weapons had also been tempered with him during the physical body Monarch tribulation, especially the Chaos Great Cauldron, which underwent higher tempering. In terms of sturdiness, it was no less than a true Monarch Dao weapon. But strictly speaking, it wasn't yet a true Monarch Dao weapon. Like Ye Chen himself, they were Eternal Sovereign Dao weapons with immense room for growth.
At this time, knowing Ye Chen's thoughts and grateful for his forging of the Monarch-level Forbidden Weapon and the Star Sky Overlord-level ancient city, the Dan Emperor Clan's old Sovereign personally came, bringing the Alchemy Emperor Cauldron. He said, "Little Friend Battle Saint King, using the Alchemy Emperor Cauldron to temper your Dao weapons should yield even better results."
