Eternal Holy Emperor

Are you willing to be my disciple and become my pupil?

A simple sentence, representing Ye Chen’s decision.

As for this Crown Prince of Xi Country, Yanz Wushuang, he saw a mundane person’s unwavering pursuit of the Heavenly Dao, felt the helplessness towards one’s own talent, yet harbored a peculiar greed for pursuing the Emperor Realm and a different approach to harnessing the Power of Faith.

He desires to use the Power of Faith to forge an Immortal Emperor Body and break into that supreme realm.

Throughout history, he had heard of someone using the Power of Faith to achieve an Emperor Body, but never knew who succeeded.

Traditionally, the vast majority achieve the status of Emperor by proving the Dao through their exceptional cultivation talents. This time, he wanted to see if this Crown Prince of Xi Country could use the Power of Faith to breach the realm of the Supreme Emperor.

For this, he didn’t mind assisting the Crown Prince of Xi Country.

Hence, he decided to take a disciple, intending to accept Yanz Wushuang as his pupil.

To be an official disciple, not just a recorded one.

"Greetings, Master!"

The Crown Prince of Xi Country was not foolish; he knelt immediately, performing the three bows and nine kowtows solemnly as a disciple ceremony.

"Good, good, good!" Ye Chen uttered the word good three times, his face full of smiles, patting the Crown Prince of Xi Country’s shoulder, saying, "As your master, I am pursuing the elusive Heavenly Dao and striving for the supreme Emperor Realm. I am on this path and cannot stay to guide your growth. But today, I grant you a unique opportunity that will break the shackles of your talent, ensuring you will no longer be hindered by it. Instead, you will have a smooth path ahead, at the very least reaching the peak of Great Power, but your future achievements will depend on your effort."

"Because talent doesn’t determine the final outcome; some people with outstanding talent reach the Great Power Peak in two hundred years, yet remain trapped their entire lives. Others, with mediocre talents, succeed later, surpassing everyone else to become the ultimate Supreme Emperor, the most revered in the entire Ancient Universe."

"And you are practicing the Emperor Method through the Power of Faith, which holds even greater hope."

"Therefore, you must remember, diligent cultivation is most important."

"Your disciple will definitely obey Master’s command!" said Crown Prince Yanz Wushuang.

"Good!"

Ye Chen said nothing more, with a wave of his sleeve, directly sealing the space of this command building, with time and space frozen, leaving the outside unable to perceive what was happening within.

His brow blossomed with brilliant light, from which emerged a Chaos Tripod hanging in front, pouring down ten thousand layers of chaotic ancient energy. Each layer of this energy weighed heavily on the Crown Prince of Xi Country, such that even this usually composed Crown Prince was shocked and discolored under such immense ancient chaotic energy.

Simultaneously, he felt increasing reverence towards this mysterious Master.

"Combat Saint King!"

Inside the Chaos Tripod, a majestic and intimidating tall figure vaguely appeared, somewhat illusory, shrouded by another Mysterious Silver Bell. Even with the isolation of the Chaos Tripod, strands of pressure, terrifying to the Crown Prince, flowed, annihilating the void directly.

The Crown Prince was convinced that the figure in the Chaos Tripod was the most terrifying presence he had ever seen, far surpassing the few legendary Saints like Ancestor Xisheng he knew in his life, merely a wisp of released pressure far exceeding theirs.

Moreover, for some reason, in the presence of this illusory person, an immeasurable pressure originating from the depths of his soul surged, causing his Primordial Spirit to tremble, as if a subordinate facing an absolute superior, his whole body stiffening, with an innate sense of bondage.

This particular sense of bondage he only experienced when he once encountered a true member of the Jiuyan Emperor Clan; it was the oppression of the Bloodline Power.

The denser the Emperor Bloodline Power, the purer it is; the greater the bondage for descendants like him with thin bloodline.

The release from this illusory person was vast and boundless; could he be a member of the Jiuyan Emperor Clan, and both the pressure and bondage demonstrated his undoubtedly extraordinary status?

Yet such an inevitably extraordinary Emperor Clan powerhouse within the Jiuyan Emperor Clan was sealed by his mysterious master in the Chaos Tripod, unable to escape, and he heard this person roar the name Combat Saint King towards the mysterious master, which seemed to be the master’s title.

Who exactly was his mysterious master, and what was his origin?

"Combat Saint King!" The illusory person sealed in the Chaos Tripod roared again, the entire Divine Soul Miniature thoroughly engulfed by the Mysterious Silver Bell, looking not once at the Crown Prince of Xi Country, who, in his eyes, was just a mere ant. His concern lay more in the Combat Saint King before him, who actually sealed him within the Chaos Tripod, still an Emperor Clan Patriarch unable to break free, an utterly humiliating disgrace.

However, Ye Chen did not even glance at the Jiuyan Clan Leader, instead looking at the Crown Prince of Xi Country, asking, "Do you know who he is?"

The Crown Prince struggled to withstand the continuously releasing pressure and bondage from the illusory person, lifting his head to look. When he clearly saw the face of the illusory person, even someone as composed as him gasped in shock—

"Jiuyan Clan Leader!"

No doubt, it was the highly exalted Emperor Clan patriarch of the entire Jiuyan Emperor Star, the supreme ruler over the millions of beings on the Emperor Star.

He couldn’t possibly mistake it, as the Emperor Clan leader’s status was incredibly high. Once ascended and identity established, the patriarch’s statue stands in the center of the Seven Great Empires and Thirty-six Imperial Kingdoms on Jiuyan Continent, forever revered by all ages.

Even ascending to Emperor Clan leader one would receive the vast Power of Faith from the countless beings of Jiuyan Emperor Star.

He had always aimed to achieve the Emperor Method through the Power of Faith, having deeply studied it, so he was certain he was not mistaken.

Yet the grand Emperor Clan leader, the most supreme being on Jiuyan Emperor Star, turned out to be this illusory person. More importantly, being imprisoned within his mysterious master’s Chaos Tripod, all of this was indeed earth-shattering, causing his complexion to change multiple times, unbelieving.

"Indeed, he is the patriarch of the Jiuyan Emperor Clan."

Ye Chen was not disappointed by the look of shock on the Crown Prince’s face; on the contrary, given his age, status, and cultivation, it was not surprising for the Crown Prince to be so shocked, instead, it seemed quite normal.

Even he, in years past, encountering such an event, would similarly be shocked beyond belief.
