Everyone in the Yin-Yang realm looked at each other, speechless, unsure of what to say.

However, in the end, Dugu Rou was the first to jump onto the log and sit down directly.

She patted the piece of wood under her buttocks and said casually, "Since Chen Xuan has told us to come up, then everyone come up. Let's trust this guy's abilities."

Once there's a first one, there will naturally be a second, and a third.

However, to everyone's surprise, they were not able to jump up as easily as Dugu Rou, but instead had to exert a lot of effort to climb up the log that was more than a meter in diameter.

Everyone else seemed to be struggling, but Dugu Rou did it effortlessly.

This surprised many people, who suddenly remembered that everyone had been struggling when things were going badly.

Dugu Rou, like Chen Xuan, moved with light steps, as if she had no burden at all.

Why is she able to be so relaxed and at ease?

No one could understand it.

As everyone gradually climbed onto the log, a few hesitated for a long time.

For example, the Yellow Springs Emperor who came out of the Yellow Springs world and was stained with the blood of the White Venerable, as well as several ancient eight clans, and the descendants of the supreme beings of the mythological era who are still alive, are all hesitating whether or not to go.

Because sitting on the log is like hitchhiking, which is no different from cheating.

They considered this a form of spiritual practice, letting the ten golden crows bask in the sun and allowing yang energy to enter their bodies, which they considered a form of spiritual practice.

Would hitchhiking be detrimental to one's spiritual practice?

So they were all hesitant about whether to go up.

Chen Xuan saw through their thoughts and laughed, "Being exposed to the sun by these golden crows for a year or two is just a waste of time and energy to torture yourself."

"I admit that being exposed to the sun for a long time can increase the yang energy in the body, and sunbathing is good for your health."

"But you should know that most of you do not cultivate the power of fire-attribute laws, so absorbing that little bit of yang energy is meaningless."

"I still stand by what I said: I don't force anyone. I will protect the safety of those who follow me, and those who don't, it's up to you."

"Now everyone can rest for a while. We'll set off after an incense stick has burned."

After saying that, Chen Xuan sat down and sat down to meditate, not caring whether the hesitant people behind him would come up or not, since that was not something he should worry about.

"What are the people from the Yin-Yang realm up to? What are they doing?"

Chen Xuan's strange behavior naturally attracted the attention of many people. Whether they were walking in front or behind, they all turned their heads to look, and all showed puzzled expressions.

Although the people from the God Realm and the Demon Realm were walking ahead, they were not far from Chen Xuan and his group. After all, they had only just started walking and had not yet created any distance between them; it was only a few thousand steps away.

"What is this kid surnamed Chen doing? Why is he letting his men sit on the log and tying it up with a rope?"

"I don't know, but why do I get the feeling that he's trying to pull this piece of wood away?"

"Take this piece of wood away? Are you kidding me? There are more than fifty people standing on it, and there are still a few people from the Yin-Yang Realm who haven't gone up yet. If they go up, there will be almost sixty people."

"According to the rules here, it is not against carrying people, but if you carry a person, the pressure on your body will double. What used to be a year's journey will take two years to complete with someone on your back."

"Drag ten people away, and you'll face ten times the pressure; drag sixty people away, and you'll face sixty times the pressure!"

"No one can withstand sixty times the pressure. Our clan's supreme being, when he was young, was exceptionally talented and swept away opponents of the same level. It is said that in the first level, he only carried one person on his back, and only for a short distance, not very far, because his body was too exhausted and could not withstand it!"

"Even the Supreme Being couldn't do it when he was young, do you think he can?"

"Of course not!"

"If he can't, then what is he doing now?"

"Hmph, ignore him. He's just a show-off. Let's keep going. If we encounter him in the later levels, we'll kill him without mercy!"

Both the gods and the demons showed disdain.

Above the sky, ten golden suns were watching everything below.

When the ten golden crows saw Chen Xuan's actions, they all showed expressions of confusion.

"Brothers, what does this kid mean by this?"

They transmit sound and communicate with their thoughts.

"Don't worry about him. I'm more worried about my father. I don't know how he and my older brother are doing."

The father they spoke of was none other than Wu Zun, the guardian of the first pass of the Imperial Road.

The elder brother they were referring to was Wu Zun's eldest son, who was also a supreme expert.

The Golden Crow lineage boasts two supreme beings!

In the past, when the Imperial Path opened, the Supreme Being would personally explain the rules of each level.

But this year is different.

Because the supreme beings who guard the Imperial Road have all gone to a special place!

"The guardians of the Imperial Pass have all gone to that place, so Father and my elder brother should be fine."

"Sigh, I thought this day would come later, at least towards the end of this era, but I never expected it to arrive before half of this era has passed!"

The golden crow sighed. If it had a human face at this moment, you could see that its face was full of sorrow, clearly worried about something.

"Since the disappearance of the Desolate Celestial Venerable, the World Tree has also been cut down. This day was bound to come sooner or later, but there is no need to worry. The Desolate Celestial Venerable left a backup plan, and those things cannot get in."

"It's a pity that the negotiations with the heavens back then failed. If they had succeeded, the Desolate Celestial Venerable wouldn't have disappeared, and the World Tree wouldn't have been cut down..."

"Alright, watch your words. Some things are in the past, so let's not bring them up again!"

Seeing that the Golden Crow's cultivation was heading in a forbidden direction, he was immediately reprimanded.

Clearly, something momentous happened back then that year, enough to change the course of history and the future.

Even the Supreme Being was unaware of such a momentous event.

Only those who have followed the Desolate Celestial Venerable know some of the secrets!

"Hmm? The Desolate Celestial Venerable is negotiating with the heavens?"

Chen Xuan, sitting cross-legged on the wooden tray, twitched his ears slightly.

Although he sat cross-legged, he gave everyone the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to rest.

In fact, he wasn't idle; instead, he used his divine sense to secretly observe the ten golden crows in the sky.

Because Chen Xuan knows the laws of concealment, darkness, and spacetime.

In addition, he had already reached the Great Emperor Perfection realm.

Therefore, his divine sense secretly probed up to the ten golden crows.
