Eternal Holy Emperor

For these super experts joining, the Ancient Divine Palace did not set many restrictions; they could reside for a long time or study various cultivation ancient books, rare handwritten notes, and stone-carved ancient steles collected in the Ancient Divine Palace.

Among them are some handwritten notes left by Heavenly Kings, containing the incredibly mysterious Heavenly King's Path, and even Great Power Dao imprints, which are priceless and of immeasurable value.

All of these can be freely viewed, except for an unwritten rule in the Ancient Divine Palace: one must leave one's supreme techniques, placing it in the Martial Arts Divine Palace of the Ancient Divine Palace to become a cultivation ancient book, to qualify to view other cultivation ancient books.

Otherwise, even if a Heavenly King comes here, they can only view ordinary ancient books, and the most important cultivation ancient books are completely off-limits.

Along the way, Ye Chen saw many powerful Heroic Masters and Saints, and even several old immortals in their twilight years.

They all stood at the absolute peak of the Saintly Treasure Ninth Layer Heaven, their blood qi decayed, hair white, but their cultivation was absolutely world-shocking, vaguely touching the threshold of reincarnation, fully capable of crossing into it.

But regrettably, their age was simply too great, their blood qi decayed, and their lifespan was almost over. This meant that even if they attempted reincarnation, it couldn't succeed because their physical body might directly succumb to the decree of destiny during the race against reincarnation, causing it to fail.

However, because of this, these old immortals viewed life and death openly, unwilling for their supreme techniques to become lost. They would carve their supreme technique imprints on the most important Martial Arts Divine Stone in the Ancient Divine Palace, passing them on to future generations.

The more of this Ye Chen saw, the more in awe he felt. The foundation of the Ancient Divine Palace exceeded his expectations, holding so many super experts who left behind their supreme techniques and cultivation experiences, such a precious wealth, having this was equivalent to a Supreme Sacred Land.

Ye Chen did not leave to view the cultivation ancient books collected by the Ancient Divine Palace but visited these super experts of yesteryear who shook the world, sincerely engaging in mystical dialogues.

During the mystical dialogues, Ye Chen displayed great humility, not taking a superior attitude as he did in the outside world where even Saints were like young chicks to him. He behaved as one would expect of his youthful appearance, respectfully, thus winning the goodwill of those old-generation super experts, who earnest gave him guidance.

These were all old-generation super experts, having cultivated for over seventeen hundred years, while those old immortals had over two thousand years, deeply insightful into cultivation. Even though Ye Chen's cultivation was no less or even stronger than theirs, he often found insights during the dialogues, the benefit not insignificant.

Because his time in cultivation was ultimately too short, not close to a hundred years, compared to those who had thousands, he was too young; they spent too long specializing in cultivation, hence seeing things more comprehensively.

But what shocked him more were those old-generation super experts; they didn't know Ye Chen's reputation outside, thinking he was just a newly recruited genius disciple by the Ancient Divine Palace, very talented but with shallow cultivation. They kindly offered guidance several times, never expecting as they progressed, that the seemingly harmless young man raised increasingly obscure cultivation issues, many even touching Saint Master level problems that they weren't necessarily clear on.

Initially, they frowned, thinking Ye Chen was too impulsive, his cultivation too shallow and should not delve into such obscure cultivation issues, proposing several supposedly profound enough issues for the dialogues, at least Ancient Saint level, intending to make Ye Chen back off.

But unexpectedly, Ye Chen responded to them all, his answers not only accurate but often ingenious and unique, in completely new directions, refreshing their outlook.

Sometimes, he even solved cultivation problems they themselves were unclear about.

It was only then they realized this unfamiliar young man was truly deep and unfathomable, far from being as simple as he appeared.

In the end, Ye Chen left.

After several twists, he finally entered one of the major sites of the Ancient Divine Palace, the Martial Arts Divine Palace, located on a giant Divine Island with a huge Divine Palace standing, beside it a large Martial Arts Square with a gigantic Amber Divine Stone.

This is the Martial Arts Divine Stone.

And on the Martial Arts Square nearby, hundreds are gathered, including those reclusive old-generation strong experts, the strong ones from the Ancient Divine Palace, and naturally the younger generation strong ones from the Ancient Divine Palace.

These younger generations are seed-level figures, each talented, from children to those Ye Chen's age, or even older.

Ye Chen glanced quickly, no less than eighty people, for a Daoist having hundreds or thousands of disciples, it's a small number, even considered rare.

But in the Ancient Divine Palace, unwilling to have a large, bloated disciple group, the few and elite selected are exceptionally talented, at least marquis-level aptitude, even some kings among them.

The Ancient Divine Palace provides the best resources to the limited disciples, aiming to cultivate them into supreme experts.

In fact, this method is excellent, for among Ye Chen's peers, at least Half-Saint, naturally some reached the Saintly Treasure Realm, even comparable to Emperor's son level strongest, far exceeding Heavenly Pride from the Ancient God Continent.

Among the older ones, Ye Chen saw seven had reached Ancient Saint level, two being Heroic Masters.

These Ancient Divine Palace disciples have a special area designated for them, sitting cross-legged on the Martial Arts Divine Stone, comprehending the precious cultivation resources left by strong experts of past generations.

Ye Chen specifically inquired of an old man stationed at the Martial Arts Divine Palace, an old immortal, but his blood qi not too decayed, still at least three hundred years left to live, very strong, yet when seeing Ye Chen, his eyes flashed, revealing astonishment.

Because at his level of cultivation, his insight was incredibly sharp, and he could naturally discern some depths of Ye Chen's prowess. He knew that this seemingly young junior was extraordinarily formidable, not only with blood qi boiling like a dragon but also with an inscrutable mastery of the Dao. He was an extremely terrifying young figure, causing him to feel a slight suffocation as if confronted with a primordial beast.

He had been guarding the Martial Arts Divine Palace, indifferent to worldly affairs, and wasn't aware of Ye Chen's origins.

Ye Chen was very courteous and never domineered, earnestly inquiring about some related questions.

The Old Immortal was also very polite, not neglecting him, claiming that most of the cultivation handbooks stored in the Martial Arts Divine Palace were left by past experts. Most were discussions of experiences, and some cultivation methods of Mystical Techniques. Naturally, what qualified to be listed were quite extraordinary.

However, the most important thing in the Martial Arts Divine Palace was that amber Martial Arts Divine Stone, which carried countless supreme techniques left behind by powerful figures throughout the ages, engraved upon it.

After bowing solemnly in thanks, Ye Chen approached that Martial Arts Divine Stone. Like others, he sat cross-legged on a mat, and immediately his whole body shuddered. His brow twinkled with light as his Primordial Spirit entered an incomparably vast and illusory pitch-black space, like the nihility of outer space.

Light orbs floated in this pitch-black space, adorning it like stars in a night sky, illuminating it.

At a cursory glance, there were tens of thousands of light orbs, circulating a mysterious aura. They were Martial Arts Imprints, which contained the supreme techniques left by experts of past generations within these Martial Arts Imprints.

Each Martial Arts Imprint emitted various levels of aura, making it perceptible. At the very least, these Martial Arts Imprints were left by the Half-Saint and included Ancient Saints, Heroic Masters, Saint Masters, and even the Saintly Treasure Pinnacle Old Immortal. Even the Heavenly King had imprinted among them.

The brightness of these Martial Arts Imprint light orbs was arranged according to the level of realm. The higher the realm, the brighter the light orb.

He even saw a light orb that was the most radiant and dazzling, which was the strongest imprint, striking like a blazing sun, making other Martial Arts Imprints seem much dimmer even compared to the Heavenly King.

Without a doubt, it was known that this was a Martial Arts Imprint left by an Ancient Great Power, a supreme divine skill.

Invaluable beyond measure, as this was a Martial Arts Imprint left by an Ancient Great Power, that fact alone spoke volumes.

Ye Chen was astonished that the Ancient Divine Palace would so freely place such a precious Great Power Martial Arts Imprint within the Martial Arts Divine Stone for anyone else to comprehend?

As if knowing what Ye Chen was thinking, at that moment a special piece of information was transmitted from the Martial Arts Divine Stone, providing him clarity.

Although the Martial Arts Divine Stone contained the Martial Arts Imprints of innumerable powerful figures throughout the ages, not everyone could obtain them.

The Martial Arts Divine Stone was very special, bearing those experts' Martial Arts Imprints. Likewise, comprehending the Martial Arts Imprints of these experts was not a simple matter.

Because when carrying these Martial Arts Imprints, the Battle Marks of those Super Experts were also inscribed. To comprehend these Martial Arts Imprints, one must face those Battle Marks and earn recognition to gain the eligibility to refer to them.

Ye Chen suddenly realized, no wonder the Ancient Divine Palace was so assured to place a Great Power level Martial Arts Imprint in the Martial Arts Divine Stone for anyone to refer to. For unless an Ancient Great Power personally intervened, how many in the world could face a Great Power level Battle Mark to comprehend it?

But the more it was so, the more it ignited Ye Chen's mindset, a slight arc of a smile appeared on his face.

Ye Chen did not challenge a Great Power level Martial Arts Imprint but instead actively reached out to the dimmest Martial Arts Imprint.

That was merely a Martial Arts Imprint left by a Half-Saint, belonging to the lowest tier among many Martial Arts Imprints.

Generally speaking, only the youngest disciples of the Ancient Divine Palace would comprehend it, while others were at least comprehending Saint Level ones. No one would refer to these Half-Saint level Martial Arts Imprints, and when others saw Ye Chen's action, a few disdainful smiles appeared.

Ye Chen didn't mind, following his own path, believing that any Martial Arts Imprint qualified to be borne by the Martial Arts Divine Stone had its certain eligibility.

At this time, he had already touched that Half-Saint level Martial Arts Imprint.

Swish!

At this moment, with a flash before his eyes, he appeared in another nihility space. A figure appeared before him, precisely the Battle Mark left by that Half-Saint—very young, coldly saying, "If you wish to obtain the Martial Arts Imprint left by my Jiahua Half-Saint, let me acknowledge you, observe my move—"

Boom—

The young Half-Saint named Jiahua took action. In a blink, a sealing was formed, and a divine seal enveloped the four directions from above and below.
