Ye Chen also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Without Fate Emperor, it wouldn't be so simple for the Violet Firmament Immortal King to find out who had stolen his Immortal King's Abode.
At this moment, Ye Chen closed the Immortal Gate, sealing it completely and suppressing it with the Gate of Seals, preventing the Primordial Immortal Realm from spying on everything within the Pangu Universe.
Simultaneously, he awakened the Sovereign of Formlessness and Tai Sheng Huang, who were in secluded cultivation, and also invited a group of familiar Supreme Ones or ancient titans—Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong, War Emperor, Mystic God Great Emperor, Golden Crow Great Emperor, Kunpeng Sovereign, and Mythical Supreme—to come to the Violet Extreme Soaring Hall.
"Young friend, why have you summoned us?" Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong asked in surprise. Ye Chen's actions were rather mysterious, and only familiar Supreme Ones were invited.
The Sovereign of Formlessness and Tai Sheng Huang were also puzzled, because they were in the midst of secluded cultivation for their Dao Attainment. Ye Chen was well aware of their state, yet he still awakened them. This must be a matter of utmost importance.
Ye Chen smiled without speaking and released the Immortal King's Abode.
Boom—
Once the Immortal King's Abode was released, unparalleled Immortal King essence radiance spread out, filling the entire Violet Extreme Soaring Hall with this Immortal King aura. Fortunately, the Violet Extreme Soaring Hall was extraordinary; otherwise, even an Emperor's palace might not have been able to contain the Immortal King's Abode, which contained such dense Immortal King aura.
"An Immortal King's Abode!"
Everyone was greatly shocked, naturally recognizing it. That was Immortal Dao aura belonging to the level of an ancient titan. Where did Ye Chen obtain it from?
Recalling what they saw beyond the sealed Immortal Gate within the Primordial Immortal Realm, it was likely the Violet Firmament Immortal King's Immortal King's Abode. No wonder the Violet Firmament Immortal King was so furious, suspecting it was the work of the alien races. In fact, it was Ye Chen who had framed them. The true culprit was actually Ye Chen.
"Young friend, you've acted too recklessly this time."
The Supreme Ones frowned, feeling that Ye Chen had been somewhat rash. Once discovered by the Violet Firmament Immortal King, it would be extremely dangerous. Given his tyrannical nature, he would surely spare no effort to break into the Pangu Universe.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained," Ye Chen smiled, appearing calm and composed. "The time left for our Pangu Universe is running short. Moreover, since the Violet Firmament Immortal King has made an enemy of me, he must pay a bloody price."
The Supreme Ones could only smile wryly.
At the same time, they were also excited. An Immortal King's Abode could allow Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong to reach the Great Perfection realm even faster. By then, he would have nothing to fear even when facing the Violet Firmament Immortal King.
The chances of the Sovereign of Formlessness and Tai Sheng Huang attaining their Dao would also be greatly enhanced.
War Emperor, Golden Crow Great Emperor, Kunpeng Sovereign, Mystic God Great Emperor, Mythical Supreme, and others could also gain insights into higher levels of the Great Dao, increasing their hopes of becoming ancient titans.
It could be said that the value of the Immortal King's Abode was immense. Compared to it, Ye Chen's efforts were completely worthwhile.
Of course, the existence of the Immortal King's Abode could only be known to these Supreme Ones who were in the know for now. It had to be concealed from other Supreme Ones.
However, after a glance, the Supreme Ones pondered for a moment and finally pushed the Immortal King's Abode back to Ye Chen, leaving him stunned.
"Young friend, the Immortal King's Abode was obtained by you. It shouldn't be given to us; you should hold onto it for your own cultivation," said Golden Crow Great Emperor. Although they all desired it greatly—in the past, it would have driven them mad with desire, and even Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong had never possessed such a priceless Immortal King's Abode—it was Ye Chen who had risked his life to obtain it. Naturally, they wouldn't seize it from him.
Ye Chen trusted them and was willing to share it, but they felt somewhat ashamed.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Everyone, I hope we can share this Immortal King's Abode. It possesses ninety-nine immortal veins, enough for us to use for a long time. However, I hope that Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong, Sovereign of Formlessness, and Senior Brother Tai Sheng will be the first to use it. Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong is currently the only ancient titan in the Pangu Universe. His importance is naturally paramount."
"Next are Sovereign of Formlessness and Senior Brother Tai Sheng, both Eternal Monarchs in the stage of Dao Attainment. If they successfully attain their Dao, our Pangu Universe will likely gain two newly ascended titans, making our strength even greater."
"The rest of us will follow after."
The Supreme Ones nodded, finding this reasoning sound.
This was the best plan for the Pangu Universe's current stage.
Of course, as for the Immortal King's Abode itself, it could fully accommodate Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong, the Sovereign of Formlessness, and Tai Sheng Huang cultivating simultaneously.
Especially with Great Heavenly Venerate Cang Xiong leading the way, he could guide the Sovereign of Formlessness and Tai Sheng Huang in their Dao Attainment, greatly increasing their chances of success.
But the Sovereign of Formlessness frowned. "You are also crucial. You are only at the Eternal Monarch stage now, yet you can rival a Quasi-Giant. If you utilize the Immortal King's Abode, you might advance further and possibly possess the combat power of an ancient titan."
Although this possibility was infinitely close to zero for others, for Ye Chen, it wasn't impossible.
After all, others, even if they reached the Great Perfection stage as Eternal Monarchs like the Sovereign of Formlessness, could only contend with peak Ancient Great Emperors at best. But Ye Chen was different; he was so heaven-defying that he could reach the peak Quasi-Giant level.
His existence could not be measured by common sense.
Ye Chen shook his head with a bitter smile. In truth, it wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't.
Who didn't have their own selfish desires? But he was a Chaos cultivator. The Chaos Dao meant that even Immortal King Great Dao could only serve as a reference for him. Moreover, he had now reached a bottleneck stage. To advance further, even entering the Immortal King's Abode would be difficult to resolve.
Otherwise, personally speaking, he would have very much liked to use the Immortal King's Abode for his own cultivation rather than handing it over.
But for the sake of the greater situation, he had no choice. Besides, these several Supreme Ones, Quasi-Giants, and ancient titans were all on very close terms with him.
However, he allowed his Quasi-Immortal King Dao Body to enter the Immortal King's Abode for cultivation.
The Quasi-Immortal King Dao Body was formed from the Immortal Dao Supreme rules bestowed by the 'Forty-nine Immortal Passes' secret realm. It was distinct from the Chaos Great Dao, following the Immortal Dao path instead, which surprised everyone.
Thinking of the 'Forty-nine Immortal Passes' secret realm, among those present, only War Emperor—a Quasi-Giant who had long been stationed on the Primordial Path—had come into contact with it.
War Emperor looked at the Quasi-Immortal King Dao Body and said solemnly, "The 'Forty-nine Immortal Passes' secret realm is extraordinary. In the past, I heard from my master mention that the 'Forty-nine Immortal Passes' secret realm does not actually belong to the Primordial Immortal Realm. It is suspected to be a secret realm that fell from the legendary Land of Origin into the Chaos Sea."
War Emperor's master was the Heaven-Defying War Lord.
Countless eons ago, the Heaven-Defying War Lord's combat power was comparable to that of a Primordial Giant, not inferior to the Final Immortal Venerate.
The Heaven-Defying War Lord had naturally entered the 'Forty-nine Immortal Passes' secret realm and had even advanced to extremely deep Immortal Passes. He had heard something—whether it was after the forty-sixth or forty-seventh pass—and reportedly still had strength to spare, but he did not continue onward, choosing to retreat instead.
The reason was unknown.
