Yan declared he would challenge the strongest of each race in a thousand years, prompting the Spirit God Race and Ruthless Beast Race to withdraw. The Nine Sect Founder discussed the looming threat with Yang Chen, revealing that Yan was not at full strength during his previous display. The Nine Sect Founder then revealed the existence of a "secret transmission palace" capable of helping cultivators reach the Heavenly Extreme Realm, offering Yang Chen the last remaining use of this ancient treasure.

It is undeniable that its strength will be significantly amplified compared to its current state.

Jiumen Daizu placed a hand on Yang Chen’s shoulder, saying, "Then endeavor to achieve it and ensure your entry into the Heavenly Extreme Realm. Regardless of the obstacles, this is the sole path that offers humanity an additional safeguard. Your mission is to succeed and not disappoint me."

Yang Chen inclined his head upon hearing this.

He had never anticipated that Jiumen Daizu would possess such foresight.

When they had a private conversation previously, Jiumen Daizu had already considered all these aspects.

Since Jiumen Daizu had already laid out the plans, what reason would Yang Chen have to let him down?

"This junior will exert his utmost effort," Yang Chen replied respectfully.

Setting aside all other considerations, the mere fact that Jiumen Daizu was willing to share the Secret Transmission Palace with him demonstrated a character worthy of admiration.

Jiumen Daizu stated deliberately, "Should you successfully enter the Heavenly Extreme Realm, this old man will depart with no lingering concerns and can dedicate himself fully to confronting Yan. As for the outcome, we shall entrust it to fate."

It was only then that Yang Chen truly grasped Jiumen Daizu’s inner sentiments.

The elder had seemingly set aside his own life and death.

For him, the pursuit of the ultimate path in his heart was paramount.

However, he did not wish to burden his sect with his impending departure until he could enter the Heavenly Extreme Realm, thereby fulfilling his ultimate aspiration.

"Accompany me," Jiumen Daizu commanded.

A millennium is an extensive duration.

Jiumen Daizu personally escorted Yang Chen back to the Taiyuan Star System and into the Grand Abyss Palace.

All the formidable figures within the Grand Abyss Palace were perplexed, unable to comprehend Jiumen Daizu’s motive for bringing Yang Chen into their midst.

After all, Yang Chen’s relationship with the Grand Abyss Palace could hardly be described as amicable.

"Senior Jiumen, Emperor Lord Yang!"

Even as the assembled dignitaries of the Grand Abyss Palace were steeped in confusion, they still extended due deference to both individuals, maintaining a remarkably courteous demeanor.

Despite Jiumen Daizu’s prolonged absence, his standing within the Grand Abyss Palace remained unassailable.

On their journey, even the experts who had attained the Daoist Ancestor realm felt compelled to attend to him, offering him smiles.

"Let us proceed to the Secret Law Healing Palace," Jiumen Daizu announced.

"The Secret Law Healing Palace?" A few Daoist masters who were trailing closely could not suppress their astonishment.

Nevertheless, they refrained from further inquiries at that moment, simply concurring with a nod.

Jiumen Daizu took the lead, with the other influential figures following in his wake; they soon arrived at a tranquil lake.

The water’s surface was remarkably placid, devoid of even the slightest ripple.

"Unseal the Secret Law Healing Palace," Jiumen Daizu commanded once more.

"This..." the Mountain River Ancestor began, "Does Ninth Brother intend to nominate a third candidate for the Secret Law Healing Palace?"

"Indeed," Jiumen Daizu affirmed.

This response only deepened the bewilderment of many powerful individuals. After all, Jiumen Daizu had never previously broached the subject of a third candidate for the Secret Law Healing Palace.

That he would now suddenly propose to open it and bring along Yang Chen, who was merely in the late stage of the Destiny Realm, carried significant implications...

These powerful figures attempted to console themselves with the notion that it was improbable, given that Yang Chen was not affiliated with the Grand Abyss Palace.

Without a second thought, several Daoist masters dispersed in various directions, their lips moving in incantations as they channeled their strength into the quiescent lake waters.

Instantly, the previously motionless surface of the lake began to churn and ripple.

Soon after, a grand palace ascended from the unfathomable depths of the lake.

As this palace emerged, it seemed to absorb the surrounding lake water, revealing itself in its entirety to all present.

Constructed from an exotic material, the edifice emanated an ancient aura upon its appearance.

"This is the Secret Law Healing Palace. Brother Yang Chen, you may enter," Jiumen Daizu stated directly.

"Ninth Brother, what is the meaning of this!" Before Yang Chen could even take a step forward, the surrounding Daoist masters could no longer contain their exclamations.

How could they not be both shocked and apprehensive?

Jiumen Daizu’s demeanor towards these influential figures betrayed no hint of surprise as he coldly inquired, "What is it? Do you have any objections?"

"But Ninth Brother, Yang Chen is not one of us from the Grand Abyss Palace."

Despite the fact that many of these influential figures had personally witnessed Yang Chen’s capabilities and strength, acknowledging his might, he remained an outsider to the Grand Abyss Palace.

Furthermore, Yang Chen had managed to subdue numerous Ghost Ancestors, and even an Asura Ancestor. If Yang Chen were to ascend to the Heavenly Extreme Realm, how formidable would the Divine Night Sect become?

Great powers, filled with anxiety, started to voice their fierce opposition to Yang Chen's entry into the Secret法 Healing Palace. They had invested considerable effort to have their own direct disciples secure a spot in the Secret法 Healing Palace, aiming for the third quota. Now, Yang Chen, an outsider, sought to claim it. Who among them would readily accept such a turn of events?

Jiumen Daizu listened to their impassioned speeches in silence before finally releasing a long, drawn-out sigh.

"You all are exceedingly foolish!" Jiumen Daizu declared, shaking his head.

Even at this critical juncture, these powerful figures remained fixated on distinctions between their respective sects.

However, they were oblivious to the imminent crisis threatening their sects.

If they continued to be divided by sect affiliation now, wasn't that the height of foolishness?

"Let me remind you all," Jiumen Daizu stated, "that the Secret法 Healing Palace has always been passed down to the individual deemed most suitable. Sect affiliations have never been a consideration."

"But..."

"Is there anything else? Do I, the Ninth, not possess the authority to make this decision?" Jiumen Daizu's voice deepened, imbued with an undeniable dignity.

His words, once uttered, carried a potent aura that immediately silenced the other powerful figures, rendering them compliant.

None dared to incur the wrath of a displeased Jiumen Daizu.

"Yang Chen, proceed," Jiumen Daizu commanded, overriding all objections and disregarding the sentiments of the other influential individuals.

Upon hearing Jiumen Daizu's decree, Yang Chen nodded, a wave of emotion washing over him.

In comparison to Jiumen Daizu, these Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses seemed overly self-absorbed. None possessed the foresight that Jiumen Daizu displayed.

To put it simply, with his current capabilities, he could easily dominate the human race, though he was still no match for Yan.

Should Jiumen Daizu ever be gone, wouldn't it be a simple matter for Yang Chen to suppress the Grand Abyss Palace?

Yet, Jiumen Daizu harbored no animosity or exclusion towards him. Instead, he bestowed upon Yang Chen numerous benefits. This alone was a testament to Jiumen Daizu's magnanimity.

Having received such advantages from Jiumen Daizu today, would he still feel inclined to exert pressure on the Grand Abyss Palace in the future?

This was the true embodiment of Jiumen Daizu's wisdom.

With the matter concerning Yan already at the forefront, he had meticulously considered every angle, all stemming from the possession of a single Secret Transmission Palace.

And as Jiumen Daizu had emphasized, his sole focus now was to reach the Heavenly Extreme Realm at any cost!

Whether Yang Chen would succeed remained uncertain, but he had taken the crucial first step by entering!
