The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3508 - 3503: Secret Transmission Palace_1

A collective sigh of relief swept through the assembled powerhouses upon the Nine Sect Founder's arrival.

Yet, as Yan’s words echoed once more, their hearts plummeted into renewed anxiety.

Could this Yan truly harbor intentions of unending pursuit?

"Should any seek the path to the Dao Transformation Period, I, Yan, shall grant a millennia for preparation. One thousand years hence, commencing with the Insect Race, I, Yan, shall personally issue challenges to the strongest of each lineage," Yan declared with an impassive visage, his hands clasped behind his back.

Upon hearing this decree, the countenances of those in the early Heavenly Extreme Realm remained largely unchanged, but the Dao Creation Realm experts, including the Nine Sect Founder, grew distinctly somber.

Yang Chen, too, adopted a grave expression, recalling the prior pronouncements of the Nine Sect Founder.

It seemed the Nine Sect Founder had foreseen this turn of events long ago, and reality now unfolded precisely as he had anticipated, without the slightest deviation.

Yan's intention was clear: to confront the Dao Creation Realm experts of various races individually, thereby seeking a path toward breakthrough into the Dao Transformation Period.

"Agreed, Yan. I shall await your arrival."

A voice, as cool and detached as Yan's own, emerged from the void.

Yang Chen's gaze shifted, unable to pinpoint the speaker's location, yet he surmised that this must undoubtedly be Ye Xiu, the paramount figure of the Spirit God Race!

As the voice faded, Ye Xiu remained unseen, and the Spirit God Race began their orderly withdrawal. Their objective had been met; Yan’s cultivation was halted. Shattering one's cultivation after an enlightenment would render a return to that state exceedingly difficult. A thousand years was but a fleeting moment for a Dao Creation Realm expert.

The formidable members of the Ruthless Beast Race, acting upon an unseen directive, also departed with a mere wave of their hands.

"Let us depart," the Nine Sect Founder commanded.

These powerful individuals, having narrowly escaped peril with the Nine Sect Founder's intervention, were still reeling from the day's events and quickly followed suit.

And thus, the tumultuous war between the saints reached an abrupt silence.

Having attained their respective goals, the various races retreated to commence their preparations for the impending challenges.

The human race was no exception, returning to the Earth Spirit Hall and immediately convening to discuss the gravity of the situation.

Naturally, many of the formidable figures sought the Nine Sect Founder's counsel, especially concerning Yan's intention to challenge the foremost Dao Creation Realm experts of each clan; the Nine Sect Founder was undeniably among them.

However, the Nine Sect Founder remained conspicuously silent on the matter, electing to conclude the meeting abruptly without offering any resolutions. In the end, he merely summoned Yang Chen.

A sense of bewilderment permeated the assembled powerhouses, who could not fathom the Nine Sect Founder's thoughts or his singular summons for Yang Chen.

Yang Chen, sharing their curiosity, accompanied the Nine Sect Founder to the familiar, intimate chamber from their previous encounter.

This time, however, the very space seemed to have been utterly sealed.

"Yang Chen!" the Nine Sect Founder proclaimed.

"Esteemed Senior Nine Sect Founder," Yang Chen replied with deference.

With his hands behind his back, the Nine Sect Founder stated, "The unfolding of events aligns precisely with my predictions. You have witnessed the situation firsthand."

"Senior, what is your confidence in victory?" Yang Chen inquired.

"A millennium is an exceedingly brief span, and while I shall utilize this time for preparation, Yan will do likewise. I am uncertain of his initial target. Should I be the final opponent, my chances of prevailing would be significantly higher. If I am among the first, I fear my odds would barely reach thirty percent."

The Nine Sect Founder elaborated: "When Yan made his move, I was observing from your flank, yet I refrained from intervening. Even in his defeat of your Asura companion, Yan did not exert his full might."

"What? He didn't utilize his full strength then?" Yang Chen exclaimed in astonishment.

"Your Asura associate possesses remarkable power. Even for me to defeat him directly would require considerable effort," the Nine Sect Founder admitted, shaking his head.

Yang Chen inwardly marveled at the sheer might wielded by those in the Dao Creation Realm.

"However, you need not fret. Your Asura friend is not gravely wounded. With a period of recuperation, he shall undoubtedly recover fully," the Nine Sect Founder assured. "Do you comprehend why I refrained from discussing this matter with the other Heavenly Extreme Realm cultivators?"

"Is it because you feared causing them undue worry?" Yang Chen ventured.

"One reason is indeed to spare them distress, and another is that even a discussion amongst them would prove fruitless. These early-stage Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses would offer no meaningful assistance against Yan. Initially, I harbored slight uncertainty, but witnessing Yan's capabilities has solidified my conviction."

"Therefore, any counsel I impart must be directly to you."

"This junior battled Yan today, and the outcome was, regrettably, a crushing defeat," Yang Chen sighed.

"It is a good thing that you are aware of the disparity between you two; at least it provides you with a target." the Nine Sect Founder remarked.

"In that scenario, however, Junior can only offer limited assistance," Yang Chen stated.

The Nine Sect Founder responded, "Yang Chen, you can."

Unable to contain his curiosity, Yang Chen inquired, "Senior implies..."

"Our Grand Abyss Palace possesses a secret transmission palace, passed down from the most ancient of times and utilized by myself and another Dao Ancestor. It was through this palace that I managed to ascend to the Heavenly Extreme Realm back then," the Nine Sect Founder explained. "This palace has a total of three uses. Having been employed twice already, only one opportunity remains."

Yang Chen expressed his astonishment, "Senior suggests that with the aid of this secret transmission palace, cultivators can reach the Heavenly Extreme Realm?"

The Nine Sect Founder nodded in affirmation. "Precisely. This secret transmission palace was the creation of our Grand Abyss Palace's founder, an ancient and peerless expert. It embodies the very creation of the universe and is the sole artifact of its kind in the entirety of the Universe Starry Sky. No other methods exist to assist cultivators from the Heaven-appointed Realm in advancing to the Heavenly Extreme Realm."

Yang Chen’s expression turned serious. "Such a priceless treasure, with only three uses, you intend to grant me a turn? This..."

"Indeed, the final chance is for you," the Nine Sect Founder declared.

"It is far too precious," Yang Chen sighed.

The creation of the Grand Abyss Palace required the effort of an entire era, resulting in only three Heavenly Extreme Realm experts. The Nine Sect Founder's willingness to share this with him demonstrated a complete disregard for sectarian divisions.

"Nothing is inherently too precious or not; it is all a matter of serving the greater good. Even in bygone days, this secret transmission palace was intended to aid those most likely to achieve the Heavenly Extreme Realm. While there may be individuals today confident in their ability to reach the Heavenly Extreme Realm, I fear there won't be any such candidates within the next thousand years," the Nine Sect Founder mused with a sigh.

"Junior also lacks such assurance," Yang Chen admitted.

He had only recently entered the Heaven-appointed Realm, and his foundation was not yet sufficiently solidified.

"Yang Chen, do you not comprehend?"

"It was for these very reasons that I entrusted the human race to you. With your current strength, should you ascend to the Heavenly Extreme Realm, your power will far surpass that of other Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses. At that point, you will possess the capability to succeed me in safeguarding the human race. Upon entering the Heavenly Extreme Realm, your strength will increase exponentially, will it not?"

"Naturally, it is an inevitability," Yang Chen confirmed.

If he were to reach the Heavenly Extreme Realm, the three great supreme laws would amplify his power once more, and he could scarcely imagine the extent of his future strength.
