Eternal Holy Emperor

"The Tenth Layer Emperor Pass has always been a crucial stronghold guarding the Ten Thousand Domain Universe. Throughout the generations, many supreme powerhouses have ventured to this pass to defend it. There exists an expansive boundary domain there, no less magnificent than the Ancient Emperor Realm, where they reside. Through years of observation, it seems the alien race might once again invade our universe," Ye Gucheng sighed gently as he unlocked many secrets.

Ye Chen spoke coldly, "Let's not mention these for now. I only want to know why, after the Nine Layers Emperor Pass, the Ye Family went to the Tiandu Continent to take my parents and kin away. They are only at most demigods, completely unmatched against the alien race, isn't it just sending them to their deaths?"

He fully understood how such a powerful force could find his parents and kin on the King's Ancient Road; the road itself could never conceal them from such a force.

Yet, regarding their arrival to take that weak branch from a small town back and to the terrifying extremity after the Nine Layers Emperor Pass, he felt a sudden surge of anger and dissatisfaction.

Once the alien race attacks, even a small ripple would be far beyond what his kin could bear, virtually akin to sending them to death.

Ye Gucheng sighed, "You have some misunderstanding about the Emperor and Royal Family. It's not that you're not powerful, but that the Emperor and Royal Blood in your bodies have been sealed."

Ye Chen was surprised, his gaze questioning.

With his supreme spiritual sense and divine recognition, he had often investigated his Holy Body, yet never sensed any sealed bloodline within. How could this be unknown to him?

Ye Gucheng replied, "From watching the recording crystal you sent, I recalled some small secrets within the family. If my guess is correct, the one leading your kin away from the Ye Family to the Tiandu Continent should be Ye Ruoxian, a saint from a thousand years ago who was considered an important strong figure in our Ye Family.

But according to some family records, Ye Ruoxian had a fierce dispute with a significant figure in the Ye Family back then, even killed several key family members, resulting in the high-level members of the family punishing and expelling Ye Ruoxian's lineage from the Ye Family. Their Emperor Bloodline Power was sealed, leading them far away from the family. Yet, how they later entered the Tiandu Continent remains unknown."

"The reason for sealing their bloodline was not only because the Ye Family does not allow abandoned ones outside to possess the Emperor Bloodline, but also because of the importance of that lineage."

Ye Chen's expression suddenly turned icy, and he laughed coldly, "Fine, well done. I will personally visit one day to seek justice for my lineage."

Ye Gucheng neither stopped him nor doubted Ye Chen's capability. As the first supreme genius to break the world's shackles to reach the Ten-layered Heaven Level after the Myths Era, barring unforeseen events, he might eventually challenge the entire Emperor and Royal Family single-handedly.

Likewise, he disliked the conduct of that lineage, which had been steadily growing within the family and subtly threatening the Family Head's line—an ill omen.

Therefore, he did not mind if Ye Chen one day gave that lineage a harsh lesson.

Clearly, it was more about building goodwill with Ye Chen.

Ye Gucheng added, "For now, let's not discuss seeking justice, but your parents being taken might lead to their bloodline power being transferred."

In response, Ye Chen showed no fury, only calmness as he spoke plainly, "Such bloodline power is unnecessary, nothing remarkable about it."

Ye Gucheng wanted to express anger but thought of Ye Chen's Combat Saint Body Bloodline and the experiences of Ye's lineage, he could only let it go.

"Although I don't intend to discourage you, retrieving your family from beyond the Nine Layers Emperor Pass may not be easy."

"Why?"

"Do you know who the Ye Cangqiong who took your family is?"

"I don't know, nor plan to know. If he tries to stop me from retrieving my parents and kin, he can't blame me for being ruthless," Ye Chen replied with indifference.

"He is an Emperor's son," Ye Gucheng added, "A direct descendant of the family's ancestor, the Heavenly Heart Sword Emperor, born fifty years ago, like you, in the Ten-layered Heaven Level, destined to be invincible."

Ye Chen was shocked. Although he knew the Ye Cangqiong who took his kin likely held a high status, he never imagined him to be the Ye Family's Supreme Heir, a true Emperor's son.

He thus brushed shoulders with an Emperor's son.

However, recalling rumors, he curiously eyed Ye Gucheng, "Isn't the rumor saying you're the Ye Family's Emperor's son?"

"How much truth lies in rumors," Ye Gucheng shook his head.

"How strong is he?"

"Unknown, perhaps beyond comprehension." Ye Gucheng said, "Emperor's son is invincible, his bloodline power unimaginably strong."

"How do you compare with him?" Ye Chen asked again.

Ye Gucheng replied, "Never fought him, he remains beyond the Nine Layers Emperor Pass, I'm in the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, so we've never met, yet I shouldn't be a match."

Ye Chen stood solemnly, considering that Ye Gucheng, who firmly believed in his unrivaled prowess, admitted he's no match, he understood Ye Cangqiong's strength was far beyond imaginable.

"Nor are you his match," Ye Gucheng continued, then added, "At least, you're not his match currently."

"Why?"

"He is a Heavenly King."

Ye Chen showed astonishment; people asserted Supreme Heirs possessed divine talent, unparalleled bloodline power, not merely empty words.

He was born fifty years ago yet already became a Heavenly King, what terrifying cultivation speed, such advancement already understated 'miles a day', doesn't need reincarnation?

Yet considering a Supreme Heir captures all the heavens' fortune upon birth as a Saintly Treasure Realm entity, reaching Heavenly King Realm in fifty years seems possible.

Nonetheless, Ye Chen only smiled, utterly fearless.

What Emperor's son? He only reveres his own invincibility; Emperor's son means nothing, should they obstruct him, he'll show no mercy!

Perhaps now he's no match, yet upon reaching the Heavenly King Realm, he will certainly venture beyond the Nine Layers Emperor Pass to confront this Ye Family Emperor's son, Ye Cangqiong.

"Moreover, I have something else to inform you. Finding your family might not require going beyond the Nine Layers Emperor Pass." Pausing, Ye Gucheng suddenly mentioned.

"What do you mean?"

Ye Gucheng stated, "In ten years, the Ten Thousand Domain Ye Family will hold a grand family tournament and will also reopen and activate the bloodline for Ye Family members who have been outside for millennia. Your Tiandu Continent lineage might be brought to the Ten Thousand Domain Ye Family."

Ye Chen said, "Good, in ten years, I will surely ascend to the Ten Thousand Domain Ye Family."
