~4 minute read · 951 words

Although Ye Yun had gained the strength to journey through the Ancient Road to Heaven and leave the Cangnan Continent for the Divine Land after his rebirth, in reality, he was held back by his ties to the three juniors of the Dragon God Sect. Ye Yun had never taken that step forward. For Ye Yun, time held no meaning. Thus, as their Ancestor, he wanted to thoroughly nurture the three juniors of the Dragon God Sect before he could leave the Cangnan Continent for the Divine Land in peace.

This time, bringing Jiang Hengyue through the Ancient Road to Heaven and into the Divine Land was also a way for Ye Yun to fulfill a dream he had cherished for one hundred thousand years.

"Senior, with such a high cultivation base, have you truly never ventured out?" Jiang Hengyue asked, shocked by Ye Yun’s words.

"That’s right, I’ve never been out," Ye Yun replied with a hearty laugh.

Jiang Hengyue was thoroughly stunned. After a long pause, he finally said, "Senior, I always believed you were a Wushang existence from the Divine Land. I never imagined... that you actually cultivated to this realm right here on the Dragon Hidden Continent."

"Indeed. It was here that I cultivated, step by step, to the Divine Monarch Realm," Ye Yun stated calmly with a smile.

With that said, Ye Yun clasped his hands behind his back and, with a leisurely stride, stepped onto the Ancient Road to Heaven.

As he set foot on the Ancient Road to Heaven, the Divine-level Array hidden within it seemed to sense his presence, instantly flaring with a light far more brilliant than before. The initially pale yellow radiance intensified, becoming as dense as a Golden Dragon extending far into the endless astral winds.

Jiang Hengyue quickly followed. Walking beside his senior, he was astonished to find that the astral winds on the Ancient Road to Heaven couldn’t even approach Ye Yun.

Ye Yun chose not to tear through space here. He sensed that the space around the Ancient Road to Heaven was somewhat unstable, and doing so might affect the Divine-level Array concealed within the ancient road.

Instead, Ye Yun flew swiftly with Jiang Hengyue. His current speed far surpassed that of a True God Realm Cultivator tearing through space.

RUMBLE!

From the distant astral winds, dazzling pillars of lightning suddenly rained down from the sky, striking the Ancient Road to Heaven with deafening roars. Lightning scattered in all directions before instantly vanishing. Yet, the Ancient Road to Heaven remained completely unscathed, without a single mark.

Seeing this, Ye Yun pointed ahead and chuckled, "So, the Thunder Zone is next, is it?"

"Yes, Senior. The Ancient Road to Heaven has several distinct regions, each filled with various terrifying natural phenomena. Some areas even have Void Beasts roaming within them..." Jiang Hengyue quickly explained.

"Let’s proceed," Ye Yun smiled and continued forward with Jiang Hengyue.

Soon, they entered the confines of the Thunder Zone. The moment they stepped in, the entire region seemed to become agitated. Thunder boomed relentlessly from above as dense barrages of lightning bolts rained down.

Ye Yun, hands clasped behind his back, remained calm and made no move. A faint, sacred light emanated from his body. As the lightning pillars neared, coming within several dozen feet of them, they were instantly repelled by an inexplicable force, utterly unable to penetrate the protective barrier Ye Yun had established.

The two continued onward and soon passed through the Thunder Zone.

Beyond the Thunder Zone lay another region of fierce astral winds. However, this area was filled with vast quantities of black smoke. The smoke was so incredibly dense that it dyed the entire expanse before them as black as ink. Far ahead, the Ancient Road to Heaven, resembling a Golden Dragon, plunged headfirst into this blackened space.

"Senior, this smoke is highly toxic..." Jiang Hengyue whispered. He recalled the immense trouble he had faced here previously, expending numerous Dharma treasures just to force his way through.

Ye Yun gave a slight nod and continued onward.

As they entered the blackened space, countless streams of the black smoke, driven by the fierce astral winds, drifted towards them. Carrying an unimaginably potent toxin, the black mist began to sizzle and hiss upon contact with the shield of sacred light Ye Yun had manifested.

Ye Yun mused inwardly, nodding to himself.

They passed through this Poisonous Fog Region with ease.

After the Poisonous Fog Region, heavy, goose-feather-like snow began to fall, plunging the surroundings into extreme cold. The dense yellow light emanating from the Ancient Road to Heaven couldn’t prevent the snowflakes from landing, and soon a thick layer of snow blanketed the golden path.

Witnessing this, Ye Yun couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

The thought suddenly surfaced in Ye Yun’s mind.

After this internal deduction, Ye Yun gained a clearer understanding of the Ancient Road to Heaven’s origins.

After traversing the extreme cold of the blizzard region, the landscape ahead abruptly transformed into a blazing inferno. The surrounding void was entirely filled with fire. Crimson flames burned violently, radiating an unimaginably intense heat that seared the very void red.

Ye Yun merely glanced at the flames before striding through. Jiang Hengyue followed closely, his heart pounding with trepidation. These raging infernos were potent enough to inflict severe damage upon a True God Realm Cultivator.

Ye Yun remained serene, strolling casually amidst the flames. At that moment, all the fires recoiled, parting in every direction as if instinctively terrified. Just then, the flames surged violently, and a colossal Flame Giant Eye materialized without any warning.
