Upon hearing this, Tai'a Yu Bai revealed an undisguised look of envy on his face and said to everyone, "The Divine Child has truly gone to great lengths to treat them! Such meticulous care is truly admirable."

However, Yuan Zhexian did not respond to these words, but simply smiled slightly.

Then he turned his attention back to the people who were engaged in fierce fighting.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield was clear.

Among this group, Yuan Haoran was in the best condition.

After all, Yuan Haoran possessed a terrifying physique that could be described as defying the heavens—the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo.

Thanks to this unique advantage, even when facing the fierce attacks of powerful beasts and races whose cultivation was far superior to his own and who had reached the ninth level of the Great Saint Realm, Yuan Haoran was still able to remain as steady as Mount Tai and firmly maintain the upper hand.

He was in the middle of the battle, his movements agile and graceful. Every move he made carried unparalleled power. With the strength of a second-level Great Saint, he firmly suppressed the opponent's attacks and did not fall behind in the slightest.

In comparison, Yuan Ruochu and others were in a slightly more difficult situation.

Although they all tried their best, they were still somewhat inferior to Yuan Haoran in terms of cultivation level and physical talent.

Therefore, even though Yuan Ruochu and the others used their most powerful techniques and summoned their most potent imperial weapons, they could only manage a draw against those ninth-level Great Saint Realm experts from the myriad races of ferocious beasts, with no clear victor.

Of course, this does not mean that Yuan Ruochu and the others were lacking in strength or performed poorly. It is simply because these nine Great Saint Realm experts from the myriad races of ferocious beasts are all top experts ranked among the top fifty in their respective races, and their strength is far beyond what ordinary people can contend with.

In particular, the powerful beast from the Great Sage Realm, a ninth-level expert of the myriad races, who fought fiercely with Yuan Haoran, belonged to a race that ranked in the teens among many powerful races!

This race possesses astonishing special abilities and extraordinary physical strength.

Time flies, and several days have passed in a flash.

During this period, Yuan Haoran and the other four people constantly faced thrilling life-and-death battles.

Each encounter deepened their understanding of the Tao, and these insights, like countless stars, gradually coalesced into a dazzling sea of ​​stars.

Finally, with his unwavering perseverance and extraordinary talent, Yuan Haoran broke through the bottleneck and successfully advanced to the third level of the Great Saint Realm!

The powerful aura emanating from him was like a surging ocean wave, shaking everything around him.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Haoran flashed to Yuan Zhexian's side like lightning, quickly sat down cross-legged, and entered a meditative state to consolidate his newly improved realm.

At the same time, Yuan Ruochu, Ji Jingtian, and others were not to be outdone, and in the fierce battle, they all ushered in their own moments of enlightenment.

Their bodies shimmered with light, their aura steadily rising, and they successfully advanced to the second level of the Great Saint Realm.

For a moment, the battlefield was filled with dazzling light.

With the last Great Saint Realm Ninth-Order expert from the myriad races of ferocious beasts collapsing, this fierce battle finally came to an end.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhexian immediately informed everyone that Tai'a Yu Bai had decided to follow him.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy, and they showed great welcome and enthusiasm for this strong new member.

At this moment, Tai'a Yu Bai stared intently at Jun Yichen and said without hesitation, "After we leave this Emperor's Road, we will definitely have a good spar with you!"

His firm tone and challenging words surprised everyone present.

Everyone secretly wondered why Tai'a Yu Bai was so insistent on challenging Jun Yichen to a duel.

Just when everyone was puzzled, it was Yuan Zhexian who finally figured out the reason.

It turns out that, in those endless, distant years, the Holy Body, the Overlord Body, and the Demon Body were once hailed as powerful physiques that were difficult to distinguish among those of the same level.

However, as time passed, the path to immortality was mysteriously sealed off, and the Heavenly Dao also imposed heavy shackles upon it.

Among them, the Ancient Sacred Body was greatly affected. Although its power was sealed, it still has the potential to break through the shackles and regain its former glory thanks to its vast amount of rare resources and its extraordinary strength.

In contrast, the demonic body faces an even more dire situation. Its very origin has been mercilessly sealed by the Heavenly Dao, a seal of immense power that cannot be broken unless one successfully ascends to the Immortal Realm. In this vast and boundless land, there is no way to break it.

For this reason, Tai'a Yu Bai, who possesses the Demon Body, longs to fight against the Ancient Sacred Body.

After all, these three physiques are all known for their unparalleled physical strength. Once cultivated to the highest level, they can even contend head-on with powerhouses at the Emperor level.

For some time afterward, Yuan Zhexian led everyone through this mysterious and unpredictable region, sometimes searching for hidden treasures and rare gems, and sometimes encountering various ferocious and brutal enemies from all kinds of beasts and races.

Every adventure is a test and tempering of Yuan Haoran and his companions' will and strength.

Within this mysterious and unpredictable sixth level of the Imperial Road, time passed quietly like a fleeting moment, and Yuan Zhexian and his companions actually spent a full hundred years in this place.

Over the course of these hundred years, everyone's cultivation level has improved remarkably.

Among them, Yuan Haoran, through his unremitting efforts and extraordinary talent, has successfully broken through to the peak of the eighth level of the Great Saint Realm.

Tai'a Yu Bai surpassed his master, his cultivation advancing rapidly, and he stepped into the profound realm of the ninth level of the Great Saint Realm.

In addition, Yuan Ruochu, Ji Jingtian and others were no less impressive, and they all successfully advanced to the seventh level of the Great Saint Realm.

Even Yuan Changkong and the other companions have all reached the sixth level of the Great Saint Realm.

However, Yuan Zhexian's cultivation level still appears to be at the sixth level of the Great Sage Realm.

But in reality, the energy contained within him is now vastly different from what it used to be, and is in no way weaker than that of a Saint Realm expert.

He had been quietly accumulating experience and patiently lying low.

Because only when the accumulation reaches a certain level will he choose to suddenly erupt, releasing that vast and terrifying power, and then break through the realm.

This is also a unique ability possessed by the Eternal Body of the Immortal Yuan. Whenever the energy within his body experiences a major outburst, he can enter a state of enlightenment for a brief moment.

In this magical moment, the energy he accumulated was rapidly transforming, allowing him to infinitely approach the Great Dao.

This closeness was like a crack leading to the door of truth, allowing him to glimpse a deeper realm and thus comprehend more of the mysteries of the path of cultivation.
