Chapter 850: That Battle of Years Past
Elder Tianmei never intended to let Ye Chen truly become an heir of the Ancient God Palace, for it was impossible, nor did he wish to, even hoping to kill the young man.
"Kill? Is it possible?" The Fifth Xuan Elder spoke, saying, "Don't forget who these people are; they come from the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms."
What exactly does the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms represent? They are more vast and grand than any, even surpassing the Ancient Emperor Realm, possessing supreme existences far beyond that realm.
Every ten thousand years, the strongest young prodigies from all the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms descend into the Ancient Emperor Realm, creating massive waves each time.
The people of the Ancient Divine Palace are overly afraid of these talents of the Ten Thousand Realms.
Not only are they powerful and astonishing, but the energy supporting them is even more shocking, representing the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, and they cannot be killed casually!
Especially the talents of the Ten Thousand Realms of this era are even more terrifyingly powerful than those of past generations, each at least comparable to a Saint Master Level, with world-shocking potential.
"Why not, this is the Ancient Emperor Realm, the Ancient God Continent, and the domain of our Ancient Divine Palace's sovereignty. Even the forces of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms do not dare to cause trouble here. Do not forget the blood battle of the Ancient Era." Elder Tianmei coldly hums, mentioning an old and distant chronicle.
Whenever this matter is discussed, everyone falls into silence, for that battle was not only incredibly tragic with massive casualties, bodies piled like mountains, and rivers of blood, but also one of the primary reasons for the Ancient Emperor Realm's closure.
That battle was one between the Ancient Emperor Realm, or more accurately, the Ancient God Continent, and the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.
The battle shook the heavens and earth, filled with cries and laments of gods and souls. Countless beings from the Human Clan, Demon Race, and Sea Clan perished, with the entirety of the Ancient God Continent's powerful beings emerging, even the hidden ones, to face off against the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.
Even from the distant Ancient Emperor Continent, supreme existences traveled to participate in the battle, paying a heavy price in blood with innumerable deaths, ultimately repelling the powerful beings of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.
That battle left countless corpses of the strong, making those who participated from the Ten Thousand Domains shudder in fear.
It was that battle, with the Dragon Phoenix Academy secretly helping the Ancient God Continent, that allowed the periodic ten-thousand-year opportunity to enter the Ancient Emperor Continent.
That battle, remembered for eternity on the Eternal Immortal Palace, is unforgettable!
The First Heavenly King Xuan Elder's eyes are complex, with a gentle sigh: "Tianmei, do not mention the ancient blood battle. Although we won, it was a pyrrhic victory, and things are different now. The number of talents of the Ten Thousand Domains is not small, and the energy supporting them is extraordinary, backed by Ancient Great Power. Even one can cause our Ancient Divine Palace great headaches, and if we provoke all the supreme forces, our Ancient Divine Palace would undoubtedly be leveled."
Elder Tianmei sneered, "Afraid? We'll just unseal the Sealing Land all together and turn to dust. I don't believe they can withstand it, hehe!"
"Tianmei, shut up!"
Not only did the First Xuan Elder shout, but other Heavenly King Xuan Elders' expressions changed drastically, for the consequences were too grave.
They know too well what is sealed within the Sealing Land; it holds terrifying power capable of destroying Great World Heaven and Earth. If unsealed, the Ancient Divine Palace would be obliterated immediately.
The First Profound Elder's eyes widened in anger, "You are too extreme. Unsealing the Sealing Land - how can you even suggest such a thing? Doing so would utterly destroy our Ancient Divine Palace. Is it worth it to kill a Combat Saint King? Guu Changsheng lost because he wasn't strong enough, plus this Combat Saint King is indeed powerful, with the Power of Faith and behind him, a Supreme Great Sect, whose energy is terrifying. Even if we act directly, we Heavenly Kings may not be able to kill him."
"Do not bring this up again. If this Combat Saint King wants to become an heir, we can at most interfere. The final decision is in the hands of the Palace Master. If you want to act against him and become an assassin, I'll see to it you're imprisoned in the Sealing Land, guarding it for a thousand years."
Elder Tianmei's expression changed, clearly apprehensive of this punishment.
*********
After descending from the Ancient God Mountain, Ye Chen, the Sun God, Yuan Yang God King, and other prodigies of Ten Thousand Realms were arranged to rest in a magnificent Treasure Pavilion, located on one of the Three Thousand Divine Islands, grand and imposing.
There, bridges arched over flowing waters, divine springs emerged, and divine lotuses bloomed with vibrant flowers in the springs. Celestial cranes danced, Jiao Beasts roared, and silver waterfalls cascaded, everything appearing so dreamlike and surreal.
It must be said that the Ancient Divine Palace is indeed an excellent place for cultivation, not only abundant with nature's spiritual energy but also teeming with talent and beauty, with spirit veins hidden in the land and a Spirit Gathering Array that multiplies cultivation speed several times over, far surpassing the outside world.
Yet, whether it was Ye Chen, the Sun God, Yuan Yang God King, or the other Immortal True Kings, none were not the most outstanding prodigies of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, backed by either supreme sacred lands or the Emperor and Royal Family. How could they be ordinary? Though surprised, it was only so much.
Unable to meet the Palace Master for now, they lingered in the Ancient Divine Palace. However, their primary goal was not to see the Palace Master or to enjoy such a favorable cultivation environment; it was more about learning crucial matters.
Such as the location of the Supreme Inheritance of the Emperor and Royal, how to access the Ancient Emperor Continent, and pathways to leave the Ancient Emperor Realm.
Within the Ancient Emperor Realm lie too many secrets, some of which are only known by the Ancient Divine Palace's ancient Daoist tradition.
The Ancient Divine Palace did not constrain their freedom of movement, nor could it, allowing them to roam within the palace freely, so long as they did not intrude on forbidden zones.
On that day, Ye Chen and the other Seven True King talents all left the Divine Island, splitting up, moving within the vast Ancient Divine Palace, personally searching for relevant answers.
Ye Chen crossed through the grand halls alone, even visiting some to meet with several Super Experts.
In the Ancient Divine Palace, not everyone lives for it. Many were once Super Experts on the Ancient God Continent, shockingly powerful, including several Old Emperors of the Nine Great Empires. They went into seclusion and were invited by the Ancient Divine Palace to join, now dedicated to cultivation, ignoring worldly affairs, and unaware of Ye Chen's background.
Naturally, only those at least of the Holy Realm Lord Level were qualified to be invited by the Ancient Divine Palace.
This is part of the Ancient Divine Palace's underlying power of deterrence. Even though reclusive, the world knows that many hidden powerful beings have entered the Ancient Divine Palace.
