In the ancient lair of the Heavenly Dragon.
Ye Chen looked at the Primordial Immortal Stone in his hand and couldn't help but smile.
Ye Chen took a deep breath.
A wisp of earth-attribute immortal energy, generated from the ancient immortal stone, entered his lungs.
Ye Chen then felt a subtle change in his physical body, feeling that it had become more solid and that his defenses seemed to have improved.
"It's a pity I haven't mastered the cultivation methods of the immortal path. Otherwise, with the earth-attribute immortal spiritual energy continuously provided by this ancient immortal stone, I could at least make my physical defense reach a terrifying level."
Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
The reason why those top cultivation paths from ancient times have not become mainstream is because of the scarcity of resources and the incompleteness of the Heavenly Dao rules, making it impossible to cultivate to a profound level.
However, if one consumes a large amount of resources, one can become a Saint King-level powerhouse, but the path forward will be blocked, and one can only switch to cultivating the path of a professional.
However, with the same talent and the same resources, a being who cultivates the Great Dao of a professional can even advance to the Great Emperor level, and can continue to advance.
A Saint King-level expert who cultivates the ancient top-tier Dao is inevitably far inferior to an Emperor-level expert who cultivates the professional Dao.
That's without a doubt!
However, for Ye Chen, he could focus on cultivating the Great Dao of the Professional, supplement it with other ancient top cultivation paths, and finally merge them to create a new top cultivation path.
That was also the most suitable path of cultivation for him!
"The ancient celestial dragon should have cultivated the Dragon Path. I wonder if he passed down the cultivation methods of the Dragon Path!"
Ye Chen's mind was racing with thoughts.
He originally planned to use the Heavenly Void Dragon Cauldron to communicate with the Heavenly Dragon Realm and collect the dragon energy there. If he could obtain the cultivation method of the Dragon Path, it would probably allow him to improve his strength again.
The Heavenly Void Palace's treasury did not contain any inheritance of the Great Dao of Cultivation. The only thing that could be considered an inheritance was the "Time Notes," which could help Ye Chen comprehend the rules of time.
It's unclear whether the master of Tianxu Palace hid his legacy elsewhere or felt his own strength was insufficient and had no intention of leaving behind any legacy.
Swish—
Ye Chen put the Primordial Immortal Stone into his backpack space.
Fortunately, the Primordial Immortal Stone can continuously generate immortal energy even in the backpack space, and the immortal energy will not dissipate in the backpack space.
However, Ye Chen can draw this immortal energy from his backpack whenever he needs it, so there is no waste.
As for directly absorbing immortal spiritual energy to strengthen the physical body, the efficiency is far too low, and it's a complete waste.
Once Ye Chen masters the cultivation methods of the Immortal Path, and then uses this immortal spiritual energy to cultivate, the efficiency will be much higher.
After storing the Primordial Immortal Stone in his backpack, Ye Chen turned his attention to the "Heavenly Dragon Palace" deep within the maze.
With the removal of the Primordial Immortal Stone, the entire maze array lost its energy source, and all the formations fell into silence.
The original maze walls lost their ability to repair themselves, and could no longer stop Ye Chen's divine insight.
Unlike before, when he couldn't see through the walls beyond a certain distance, Ye Chen could now see the location of the "Heavenly Dragon Palace" directly through the countless maze walls at a glance.
Looking at the magnificent Tianlong Palace deep within the maze, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.
This is not an ordinary palace, but a palace of imperial artifacts.
Generally speaking, as imperial artifacts, they can develop intelligence, and their wisdom is no less than that of an eight- or nine-year-old child.
However, the Imperial Palace before them seemed to have had its sentience erased, merely absorbing various forms of energy instinctively to maintain its operation.
"Fortunately, this is just a palace of imperial artifacts that has lost its sentience, otherwise I would never have been able to enter it!"
Ye Chen secretly rejoiced.
If it were a sentient imperial palace, operating various formations, it could unleash tremendous power with every move, no less than that of an ordinary emperor-level expert.
It can be said that an imperial artifact is equivalent to a powerful emperor.
Even for Great Emperor-level powerhouses, Imperial Artifacts are extremely rare. Many Great Emperor-level powerhouses do not even possess Imperial Artifacts, especially those from the recent ancient era.
Ye Chen moved swiftly and soon arrived at the gate of the "Tianlong Palace".
Click click click—
As Ye Chen arrived at the gate, the gate of "Tianlong Palace" opened slowly and automatically, seemingly welcoming anyone who came.
"I didn't expect to enter the 'Heavenly Dragon Palace' so easily! But this suits me even better!"
Ye Chen sighed inwardly.
I originally thought that even though the "Tianlong Palace" has lost its sentience, it would still take some time to enter it.
Unexpectedly, the "Tianlong Palace" opened its gates by itself.
Without hesitation, Ye Chen stepped through the gate.
Swish—
Ye Chen felt as if he had stepped into another space. Suddenly, he found himself in a spacious hall.
This grand hall was incredibly vast, with towering pillars and numerous doors appearing around it, their destinations unknown.
At this moment, the main hall was filled with skeletons of all shapes and colors, resembling a hell of bones.
When Ye Chen's gaze fell upon the main seat in the hall, he was horrified.
"Is this... the remains of an ancient celestial dragon?"
Ye Chen was utterly shocked.
A golden skeleton thousands of feet long still exudes immense pressure even after countless years of death!
Below the ancient celestial dragon, there are ten enormous skeletons, including a bull's head skeleton, a tiger's head skeleton, a giant elephant skeleton, and so on, all radiating a powerful aura.
Although it is not as powerful as the aura of the ancient celestial dragon skeleton, it far surpasses the aura of the other skeletons in the hall.
"Could these be the remains of the Ten Divine Guards? Does that mean the remains of the Heavenly Void Palace Master are also among them?"
Ye Chen was secretly alarmed, recalling what Wang Hu had said earlier.
The Ancient Heavenly Dragon killed a True God-level expert's favorite junior, and then was killed by that True God-level expert across countless time and space. Even all his followers were annihilated, and no one survived!
Clearly, all the skeletons here belong to the most powerful and trusted followers of the ancient Heavenly Dragon, who all perished in this hall.
It's estimated that they were discussing how to deal with this crisis before they died.
But no one expected death to come so quickly. In a short moment, everyone was wiped out, leaving no chance of survival!
"The strength of a true god-level expert is terrifying! I wonder what path he cultivates, that he possesses such terrifying power across countless dimensions!"
Ye Chen couldn't help but yearn for the strength of that True God-level expert. He couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying power that was!
"One day, I will become such a strong person! I will even surpass such a strong person!"
Ye Chen clenched his fist and made a silent promise in his heart.
He is going to forge a new, invincible path in the near-ancient era!
