The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1860 - 1857: Beginning to Move Forward

Lifting her gaze, Cheng Kes realized the cultivators who had already set foot on the Emperor Road were still just ahead, progressing with immense difficulty, as if burdened by countless mountains, making each step a struggle.

Witnessing this, Cheng Kes felt a sense of relief wash over her.

If everyone else was moving as effortlessly as Ye Xuan, she would truly begin to question reality.

"So, this is the Emperor Road..."

Observing the determined advance of the crowd, Cheng Kes's heart was deeply stirred.

Only upon stepping onto the Emperor Road did she comprehend its vastness and seemingly endless length.

While her backward view showed the world left behind, every other direction was completely obscured by the Emperor Road itself.

This seemed to signify that once on this path, one could only move forward, leaving all else behind.

A singular focus occupied the mind.

To reach the summit of the Emperor Road and engage in a righteous battle of the Dao!

To claim the true Mandate of Heaven!

Cheng Kes took a profound breath, dispelling all extraneous thoughts, and adapted to the Dao aura enveloping the Emperor Road, proceeding onward step by step.

As a true Heaven and Earth Great Sage, Cheng Kes's prowess was naturally exceptional, and her comprehension of the Dao possessed its own unique nuances.

Coupled with Ye Xuan moderating his pace, Cheng Kes was able to keep up.

Glancing back, she saw numerous individuals frozen in place, incapable of advancing further.

This was the initial trial of the Emperor Road.

It served not only to weed out those falsely claiming the title of Great Sage but also to halt those whose grasp of the Dao was insufficient.

Cheng Kes cast a brief look, then refocused on her forward movement, eventually reaching a position directly behind Ye Xuan.

A quiet sigh of relief escaped her lips.

She couldn't help but glance at Liang Difan, who had been trailing Ye Xuan, a flicker of envy in her heart.

This follower of Young Master was incredibly potent, able to match the Young Master's stride!

As this thought occurred, Cheng Kes felt the Dao aura pressing down upon her intensify, making it difficult to breathe once more.

"Empty yourself. Cease all thought."

Ye Xuan's voice echoed from ahead.

His reminder helped Cheng Kes quickly steady her Dao Heart, allowing her to concentrate on comprehending the Dao and maintain her position behind Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan’s pace was moderate, neither hurried nor lagging, moving as if he were merely taking a leisurely stroll.

For him, the need to comprehend any so-called Dao was non-existent.

His focus remained on unraveling the mysteries of the Emperor Road.

He had traversed this path countless times across the ages.

Ye Xuan’s approach to his Dao had always been straightforward.

The self—this was the ultimate Dao!

An Unshakable Dao Heart was not easily forged.

As for Liang Difan, his ability to remain close to Ye Xuan stemmed from his awakening of the Taiyin Ancient God's soul, granting him a profound clarity in his own Dao.

The current trial on the Emperor Road had no impact on them.

It was merely the introductory phase of the Dao.

For those who had already crossed the threshold and ascended to higher planes, navigating this was effortless.

"I shall commence my advancement."

Ye Xuan declared inwardly.

This was a personal declaration.

It also served as a proclamation to the myriad worlds, or perhaps a warning to particular entities.

Ye Xuan’s gaze was serene. As he advanced, his eyes remained fixed on the distant expanse of the Emperor Road.

Stretching across the vast Emperor Road was the celestial canopy of the heavens and myriad worlds.

Innumerable stars dotted the sky, arranged in a cosmic formation.

From each star, beams of light descended, illuminating every individual treading the Emperor Road.

Some moved with agonizing slowness.

Others advanced with the power of dragons and tigers.

Some seemed to meander without a care.

Others moved with dynamic grace.

This marked the dawn of a new epoch.

Every person on this path possessed the potential to become the central figure of this era.

And upon embarking on this journey, a singular thought would resonate within each heart.

Silence prevailed.

All moved forward resolutely, step by step.

Amidst the oppressive and profound Dao aura, each individual gradually discovered their own Dao, progressing incrementally.

Among them, several cultivators in the Great Sage Realm transitioned directly to the Heaven and Earth Great Sage level.

A few even surpassed this, awakening True Destiny and becoming True Destiny Great Sages.

If such an event were to transpire in the ordinary world, it would undoubtedly be earth-shattering, even considered a legendary marvel. Yet, upon this expansive Emperor Road, occurrences like these were commonplace, happening one after another. This phenomenon wasn't exclusive to the Emperor Road within the Xuanhuang Great World; it was unfolding across the other Nine Realms, the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and indeed, throughout the billions of worlds in the All Heavens. In this very instant, within the supreme Great Realm known as the Heavenly Domain’s Thirty-Three Heavens, countless individuals were utilizing their respective sects' methods to observe the unfolding events on the Lower Realm’s Emperor Roads. Above the Heavenly Domain’s Thirty-Three Heavens lay an immeasurably vast firmament, its depths unknown to anyone. At its absolute apex, an overwhelming pressure perpetually descended, a place even a Great Emperor could not approach. This region was also referred to as the Outer Heaven. When the Twin Emperors first ascended to the Heavenly Domain, they had once united their strength to venture here, but they could not establish contact with this place. The formidable pressure was something even the Twin Emperors could not endure. Yet, within this terrifying locale, a young Daoist was presently suspended in mid-air, his head tilted upwards as he gazed toward the ultimate peak. His expression was clouded with remembrance, and his jet-black eyes held a profound depth of worldly experience. Sensing something, he raised a hand and inscribed a circle within the Void. Within this luminous circle, an image materialized. This depicted a continuous procession of Great Sage Realm powerhouses advancing forward. At the very heart of the image was a youth clad in black robes, moving with casual ease, his steps light and unburdened. At this moment, the black-robed youth seemed to perceive something and turned his head to glance back. Witnessing this, the young Daoist offered a subtle smile. The black-robed youth responded with a grin. "I shall await your arrival." The young Daoist parted his lips and uttered these two words softly. The black-robed youth averted his gaze and continued his forward momentum. The young Daoist swept his hand grandly, causing the image to dissipate. He let go of his smile and murmured, "He has begun his ascent; I must not lag behind either." As he spoke, a Heavenly Domain Gate materialized before the young Daoist. He took a step, passed through the gate, and vanished from that location. Upon his reappearance, the young Daoist found himself at the Immortal King Hall. This young Daoist was none other than Wu Muchen. In his prior life, he had been the Mu Chen Immortal King, the very founder of the Immortal King Hall, an ancient being from the Immortal Ancient epoch. ———— Heavenly Domain. The Twin Emperors were also observing the scenes at the entrances to the Emperor Road. However, neither of the Twin Emperors was focusing their attention on Ye Xuan. Emperor Mu’s gaze was fixed upon Wu Yunchou of Eternal Mountain within the Ancient Great World. Empress Changxi’s attention was directed towards the Holy Daughter of Daozhou’s Southern Sea Immortal Island in the Xuanhuang Great World. Shortly thereafter, the gazes of the Twin Emperors shifted once more, directed towards the farthest reaches. The scene they observed was that of the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld, which had inexplicably appeared from thin air. This enigmatic realm existed at the very foundation of the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds. At present, Great Sage Realm powerhouses from the two mysterious races, Black Sky and Guming, were also stepping onto the Emperor Road one after another. Each of them proceeded with unwavering steadiness, not pausing in the slightest. Their progression along the Emperor Road was even more remarkable than that of individuals from the strongest Ten Realms!
