Checking in for 100,000 Years

"Jiang Hengyue."

Ye Yun suddenly called out, his expression more serious than before.

Jiang Hengyue's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly bowed. "Senior, please instruct me if there is any matter."

Ye Yun spoke in a calm voice, "Would you like to join my Dragon God Sect?"

"This junior is willing."

Jiang Hengyue agreed immediately without any hesitation.

His life had been saved by this Senior. Not only had the Senior saved his life, but he had even reconstructed his body. Such kindness was something he could never repay, even if he were ground to dust. Even though he was the Young Island Master of Star God Island, what did that matter compared to joining the Dragon God Sect?

"You are very good!" Ye Yun nodded, smiling as he continued, "I will take you to Skyreach Island to exact your revenge and win your fiancée back."

"Senior…"

Upon hearing Ye Yun's words, Jiang Hengyue's heart surged with emotion, and tears gushed from his eyes.

He had never imagined that this unfathomable Senior before him would actually take him to Skyreach Island for revenge.

He was incredibly moved.

Tears streamed down his face, and he didn't even bother to wipe them away. Jiang Hengyue knelt once more, kowtowing repeatedly to Ye Yun.

The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon crossed his arms over his chest. "TSK TSK," he remarked. "You're really lucky. As soon as you join the Dragon God Sect, you have the Master himself taking you out for revenge."

"Yes! I was so lucky to meet Master."

Jiang Hengyue wept and laughed, appearing somewhat unhinged.

He had been in an unimaginable predicament; if not for his resilient will, he would have died long ago.

Even so, he had never dreamed that he would one day counter-attack the unimaginably powerful Skyreach Island.

This immense surprise scattered the despair in his heart.

"Get up," Ye Yun said with a smile.

He quite appreciated this young man, Jiang Hengyue. He was sincere, straightforward, and possessed exceptional resolve. Such a person was destined for greatness.

The Dragon God Sect... Naturally, it couldn't remain forever in this little corner of the Cangnan Continent. Sooner or later, it would have to venture out. In that case, Star God Island and Skyreach Island in the Ninth Sea Area would be the Dragon God Sect's first step in expanding its territory.

"Okay, Senior."

Jiang Hengyue quickly wiped away his tears and stood up.

"Don't call me Senior anymore. Just address me as Master. This is a rule of the Dragon God Sect," Ye Yun said with a light chuckle.

"I understand, Master," Jiang Hengyue said with a smile, wiping his tears.

"Brother, your swordsmanship is truly excellent," the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon chimed in, patting Jiang Hengyue's shoulder with a grin. "Now that we're fellow disciples, we should spar more often when we have the chance..."

"Of course, of course. I apologize if I was offensive earlier. Please forgive me, Big Brother," Jiang Hengyue said modestly.

"Haha, it's nothing, nothing at all," the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon laughed heartily.

"Little Dragon, you continue on the flying ship to the Heavenly Moon Secret Region. I need to take Jiang Hengyue out for a while..." Ye Yun looked at the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon and instructed calmly.

"Master, rest assured! I will take good care of that young fellow Lei Qinian." The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon thumped his chest—THUMP! THUMP!—and confidently vowed.

Ye Yun nodded.

At that moment, a beam of light enveloped him and Jiang Hengyue, and they instantly vanished into the void.

Ye Yun tore through the void, swiftly heading for the Ancient Road to Heaven, located within the astral winds of the sea region at the outer periphery of the Cangnan Continent.

Witnessing how the endless void became as fragile as thin paper before the Master, and how each of his spatial tears spanned at least several hundred million miles, Jiang Hengyue's heart pounded, his astonishment beyond words.

The Master was truly too powerful. Such terrifying strength had long surpassed the Divine Monarch Realm. This potent ability to tear space likely meant he had already reached the Divine Sovereign Realm.

"Master, could it be that your cultivation base is at the Divine Sovereign Realm?" Watching Ye Yun effortlessly tear through the void beside him, Jiang Hengyue coughed lightly, gathered his courage, and ventured to ask.

"I'll reach the Divine Sovereign Realm soon..." Ye Yun said with a smile, not hiding his cultivation base.

He was currently at the Seventh Realm of God King, only three minor realms away from the Divine Sovereign Realm. If he hurried, it wouldn't even take a month.

For Ye Yun, cultivation was as simple as eating and drinking. It all depended on whether he felt like cultivating.

"Master, you are truly formidable! Even in the Divine Land, I have never seen anyone stronger than you," Jiang Hengyue rubbed his hands together and said with a laugh.

"Haha, no need for flattery," Ye Yun chuckled. With a powerful tear of his hands, they instantly stepped out of that space.

They were now in the outermost region of the sea, amidst the fierce astral winds.

The astral winds rolled in, howling as they approached.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! They emitted continuous, thunderous roars.

However, when these violent astral winds reached Ye Yun's side, they immediately detoured, not daring to blow upon him at all.

Jiang Hengyue was so frightened he could only click his tongue.

Ye Yun's gaze flickered as he searched for the location of the Ancient Road to Heaven. After a few breaths, he confirmed the coordinates.

The next moment, Ye Yun reached out and tore apart the space within the astral winds.

"What? The Master can tear apart space even here?" Jiang Hengyue, standing beside him, widened his eyes again, dumbstruck with amazement.

The space within these astral winds was unimaginably resilient. In his understanding, only someone at the Divine King Realm could possibly tear through the space here.

Yet the Master had nonchalantly torn this space again, leaving him utterly astounded.

Ye Yun continuously tore through space, covering millions of miles, until he finally arrived at the Ancient Road to Heaven.

Standing amidst the fierce astral winds with his hands clasped behind his back, Ye Yun calmly gazed at the ancient passage.

The entire Ancient Road to Heaven was incredibly vast; its width alone spanned several thousand feet.

The Ancient Road to Heaven was entirely golden, emitting a faint yellow glow. It floated in the void, exuding an indescribable aura of ancient vicissitude.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! Countless gales battered the Ancient Road to Heaven, yet they couldn't damage it in the slightest.

"You entered through this road, didn't you?" Ye Yun asked with a smile.

"Yes, Senior. This Ancient Road to Heaven is truly terrifying. I exhausted all my magical artifacts and suffered grievous injuries just to make it through," Jiang Hengyue replied, looking at the golden Ancient Road to Heaven before him, a hint of lingering fear in his eyes.

The Ancient Road to Heaven was truly horrifying.

At that time, he was at the True God Realm First Level.

Initially, he had thought he would pass through easily, but he hadn't expected the sheer number of perils he would encounter. All sorts of bizarre celestial phenomena appeared one after another, and there were also unknown void-dwelling demon beasts that constantly ambushed him.

He had barely survived, relying on heaven-defying luck to break through.

If he had to traverse it a second time, even with the same magical artifacts, Jiang Hengyue doubted he could be so fortunate again.

Unless his cultivation reached the True God Realm Fifth Layer and he possessed twice as many magical artifacts, only then would he have the confidence to successfully cross the Ancient Road to Heaven again.

"Alright, let's travel this road again." Ye Yun looked at the Ancient Road to Heaven, which emitted a faint yellow glow. A smile graced his face, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

It had been one hundred thousand years. This was his first time leaving the Cangnan Continent to enter the Divine Land.
