"Pangu's Heart, the Heart of Eternity!"
The four Immortal Kings' eyes erupted with dazzling, brilliant light, unable to contain their shock. So the legendary Eternity truly existed, and Pangu truly existed. This was the Heart of Eternity left behind after Pangu's fall.
No wonder even powerful beings like them, Immortal Kings, felt such an oppressive sense of majesty from this heart. Generally speaking, even if a Half-Step Overlord perished, their heart shouldn't exert such terrifying pressure on an Immortal King.
"Pangu's Heart! Young Friend Ye truly possesses immense fortune to obtain such a peerless treasure."
It would be false to say the four Immortal Kings weren't envious. The Heart of Eternity represented possessing eternal essence blood. It might even point the way to the path of Eternity. At the very least, it should qualify one to become an invincible, peerless Overlord.
However, they didn't understand why Ye Chen was taking out Pangu's Heart.
Only Pan Dao Immortal King vaguely guessed some of it.
Sure enough, Ye Chen looked at Pan Dao Immortal King and said, "Senior Pan Dao, the Primordial Immortal Realm is the first Chaos Ancient Universe opened by Pangu, created in the past with Pangu's Axe. Your true form is a great axe. I suspect it is related to Pangu's Axe."
Pan Dao Immortal King stared at Ye Chen. "Are you saying I was cultivated from Pangu's Axe?"
The other three Immortal Kings were also startled and doubtful.
"No, the being truly cultivated from Pangu's Axe is someone else." Ye Chen shook his head. "It is the Universe Great Emperor!"
"The Universe Great Emperor was cultivated from Pangu's Axe?" The four Immortal Kings exchanged glances, then sighed in amazement. "Indeed! Pangu's Axe could open Chaos Ancient Universes. It's only natural that a being cultivated from Pangu's Axe could control a Chaos Ancient Universe. No wonder the Universe Great Emperor could become the fifth peerless Overlord. So that's how it is."
Pan Dao Immortal King frowned. "Since the Universe Great Emperor's true form is Pangu's Axe, what does that have to do with me?"
Ye Chen said, "To be honest with you, Seniors, I once comprehended the Eternal Ancient Stele in the Eternal Heaven Realm and glimpsed some major events from past to present, including Pangu's act of separating heaven and earth. When Pangu opened the Primordial Immortal Realm, he expended great effort and shed blood. Moreover, when opening the forty-ninth Chaos Ancient Universe, the Pangu Universe, he exhausted his strength and perished. Pangu's Axe departed. I suspect Pangu's Axe was already damaged at that time, shattered in places, then fell into the Primordial Immortal Realm, fused with Pangu's blood, and then you, Senior, were born."
"So that's how it is."
Pan Dao Immortal King sighed softly. Even he would never have imagined that his true origin stemmed from a fragment of Pangu's Axe fused with Pangu's blood. In a sense, he could be considered a second Pangu's Axe, though of course, he was far inferior to the true Pangu's Axe.
But even so, he possessed immense innate advantages. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become an Immortal King in just a few epochs and was on the verge of becoming an Immortal Venerable One.
Ye Chen said, "Senior, you were born from a fragment of Pangu's Axe. If you cultivate in conjunction with Pangu's Heart, you will have a tremendous advantage. Becoming an Immortal Venerable One is just around the corner. You might even have a chance to aspire to the Half-Step Overlord realm."
These words undoubtedly made the others burn with envy.
The Half-Step Overlord realm was an intensely coveted domain for Immortal Kings, even Immortal Venerable Ones. Once one became a Half-Step Overlord, not only could they dominate a single Ancient Universe, they could even roam the Chaos Sea freely and possess strong self-preservation ability in the blood-stained future, not perishing easily.
Of course, they also knew this was only possible because of Pan Dao Immortal King's identity, born from a Pangu's Axe fragment fused with Pangu's blood. For anyone else, reaching that step would be extremely difficult.
Ye Chen then addressed the other three Immortal Kings. "Three Seniors, although I cannot enable you to achieve the Half-Step Overlord realm, for Seniors Hun Shi and Tai Shi, I have some confidence in helping you become Immortal Venerable Ones. Senior Tai Hao is already an Immortal Venerable One, but he has just recently stepped into it. I also have a method to help you, Senior, stabilize your Immortal Venerable One attainment, even standing shoulder-to-shoulder with veteran Immortal Venerable Ones."
The three Immortal Kings' faces revealed pleasant surprise. They did not doubt Ye Chen's words, for the latter was already a Half-Step Overlord. Moreover, having returned from the Eternal Heaven Realm, though he seemed to have cultivated for just over two million years, the depth of his foundation was undoubtedly among the very best in the Chaos Sea.
If he spoke, he had great confidence.
In fact, this was precisely because Ye Chen was targeting these four Immortal Kings, all quite veteran. Even the youngest, Pan Dao Immortal King, had an extraordinary origin. Aside from Tai Hao Immortal King, Tai Shi and Hun Shi Immortal Kings were ancient Immortal Kings on the very verge of stepping into the Immortal Venerable One domain.
He was merely helping them achieve it a step earlier, giving them a push.
The three Immortal Kings naturally agreed immediately.
Ye Chen said, "To be honest, this method is actually very simple. It only requires the three Seniors to go cultivate in the main heavenly domain of the Eternal Heaven Realm. The Eternal Heaven Realm possesses an Eternal Ancient Stele, left behind by Eternity. It also contains the vast Eternal Power that once overflowed from Pangu's Heart. This Eternal Power has great cultivation benefits even for Immortal Kings, Immortal Venerable Ones, and even Half-Step Overlords."
The three Immortal Kings understood. Moreover, the Eternal Heaven Realm was a place where both Ye Chen and Donghuang had stayed, so naturally, there was no danger.
As for Pan Dao Immortal King, Ye Chen had him stay within his own Chaos Small Universe to comprehend Pangu's Heart. Pangu's Heart held an extraordinary resonance for Pan Dao Immortal King. If he could cultivate using it, it would greatly increase his cultivation speed, significantly hastening his entry into the Immortal Venerable One domain. In the future, once he truly became an Immortal Venerable One, he would certainly not be an ordinary one, qualified to approach the Half-Step Overlord direction.
With Donghuang's return, the Donghuang Domain was completely stabilized. The nine Immortal Kings coexisted peacefully.
Donghuang did not fuse with his former Immortal Venerable One body, because over these many epochs, he had already broken and then rebuilt, cultivating an even more powerful Indestructible Immortal Body at the Half-Step Overlord level. At this level, even fusing with his former Immortal Venerable One body wouldn't provide much improvement. It was better to leave it as a great Immortal Venerable One opportunity for later generations.
A top-tier Immortal Venerable One's fleshly body contained vast Immortal Venerable One origin, essence blood, ancient blood, Great Dao, and more. Even a single strand of hair would be enough to make many supreme beings covet it.
Such a powerful Immortal Venerable One body, if successfully refined and fused, could allow even the weakest person to leap directly and become an Immortal Venerable One-level existence, at least in terms of physical body.
Tai Yu, Hao Zun, and Jiu You, the three Immortal Kings, were naturally extremely excited. At their level, they also hoped to advance further and become those supreme Immortal Venerable Ones.
As for within the Donghuang Sacred Hall, Donghuang once again infused a wisp of Immortal Venerable One origin. Those with the ability could completely comprehend this wisp of origin, and Donghuang would accept them as a direct disciple.
During this period, Ye Chen personally escorted the three Immortal Kings to the Eternal Heaven Realm.
