Time passed quietly, and a year had passed in the blink of an eye.
In a mountain range within the Black Heaven Sect's boundary.
Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the others were cultivating hard.
The one who was fighting them was none other than Chu Kuangren, or rather, Chu Kuangren's sword qi clone.
It was just like the hellish training from before.
The familiar formula and the familiar power had caused Nangong Huang and the others to suffer for the past year.
However, despite their hard work, they had improved tremendously.
Now, Nangong Huang and the others were all experts who could hold their own. They could even fight against a Sage King. With some treasures, they could protect themselves even if they encountered a Quasi-emperor.
As for Chu Kuangren, his strength had become more and more unfathomable over the past year.
Not only that, but he had also traveled to almost every forbidden area in the Firmament Star, sparring with the Boundary Emperors and gaining a deeper understanding of his own Dao.
He had also gotten quite a number of good items from the gacha. Some of them were used by him, while others were used to strengthen the Black Heaven Sect's foundation.
Apart from the number of strong cultivators, no other orthodoxy in the Firmament Star could compare to the current Black Heaven Sect in terms of foundation.
Chu Kuangren even dared to say that even the ancient orthodoxies in the Nine Heavens might not have as deep a foundation as the Black Heaven Sect.
The Black Heaven Sect now only lacked an Emperor to truly become an Emperor-level orthodoxy!
"Looking at the time, the Emperor's Path should be opening soon."
Chu Kuangren murmured on a large bluestone.
He casually unleashed a sword qi that turned into a clone to fight against Nangong Huang and the others.
Since they were already being suppressed by a single sword qi clone, they could not help but grumble as they stared at Chu Kuangren resentfully.
"Sect Leader's strength is getting more and more insane. Even a Seventh-Step Sage Ruler wouldn't be able to last long against the few of us, yet we can't even defeat a sword qi clone of our Sect Leader. What realm do you guys think he's in?"
After the training, Nangong Huang and the others sat on the ground as Murong Xuan casually said.
The others were also guessing.
Over the past year, they had also asked Chu Kuangren, but he always said that he was still in the Sage Realm.
They could not help but roll their eyes.
Even the Boundary Emperors of the forbidden areas were respectful to him, yet he said that he was just a Sage?
Who would believe that!
"Could he have advanced to Martial Emperor?" Shang Qingxue asked curiously.
"That's impossible. The Emperor's Road has not even opened yet. How could anyone become a Martial Emperor?"
Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the others were discussing.
Chu Kuangren, on the other hand, only smiled and did not say a word.
He looked at the sky and murmured, "Is it really impossible to become an emperor in the Age of Chaos? Or is it only possible to become an emperor within the Emperor's Road?"
This was something he had been thinking about for the past year.
He did not lie to Nangong Huang and the others. Strictly speaking, his cultivation realm was indeed at the level of a Sage. However, he was a Supreme Sage, and like a Quasi-emperor, he had found his own path. His combat strength was stronger than most Quasi-emperors.
From ancient times until now, there were not many people like him.
His path of cultivation seemed to have … deviated from the normal path of cultivators.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."
Chu Kuangren shook his head and laughed.
Right now, I should think about how to advance to Martial Emperor first.
A few days later.
Suddenly, a strange fluctuation appeared in Firmament Star.
All the great ones sensed it and looked towards the source of the strange fluctuation.
Then, in the Misty Ocean, one of the Ten Great Forbidden Areas of Firmament Star, a golden beam of light suddenly shot into the sky, and a powerful spatial fluctuation spread.
"The Emperor's Road has opened!"
"Is this the direction of the Misty Ocean?!"
"Why is it there? That's one of the Ten Great Forbidden Areas."
"The Misty Ocean is filled with turbulent undercurrents and countless oceanic beasts. It's extremely dangerous, and there's a natural forcefield that prevents cultivators from flying. Now that the entrance to the Emperor's Road has appeared there, even a Sage Ruler can't easily enter, let alone those sky-prides."
Many great ones discussed among themselves. They were very surprised that the entrance to the Emperor's Road had appeared in the Misty Ocean.
Meanwhile, in the Black Heaven Sect.
Chu Kuangren looked in the direction of the Misty Ocean. "It's finally opened."
"Brother, can I really not go with you?"
Beside Chu Kuangren, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with rosy lips and white teeth looked at Chu Kuangren reluctantly.
That girl was a Godly Phoenix.
She was the Godly Phoenix that had taken on the form of a Sage.
Chu Kuangren smiled as he patted her head and said, "Aside from me, you're the strongest person in the Black Heaven Sect now. Although the Boundary Emperors in those Forbidden Areas are very obedient, who knows if they'll try anything funny after I enter the Emperor's Road. I can be more at ease with you around."
"Alright then. I'll stay here and help you look after the Black Heaven Sect," the Godly Phoenix Lil Red said.
The Black Heaven Sect was Chu Kuangren and her home. Although the Black Heaven Sect had a strong foundation, it still needed an absolute powerhouse to oversee it.
Aside from Chu Kuangren, only the Godly Phoenix was capable of that.
Black Heaven Sect, in front of the Longevity Hall.
Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, Jun Yi, Shang Qingxue, and the others had already gathered.
At that moment, Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu walked over.
Chu Kuangren took a deep breath and said, "The Emperor's Road has opened. Besides the sky-prides of the Firmament Star, the sky-prides of the Underworld Demonic Realm and the Nine Heavens will also enter. Besides, no one knows what will happen in the Emperor's Road, so it's still not too late if you want to back out now."
"Sect Leader, haven't we been preparing for a year just for this moment?"
"That's right, we've already made up our minds."
None of the Daoists were willing to give up on this opportunity.
Chu Kuangren had expected this as well. "Very well, let's go then."
Chu Kuangren raised his hand and took out the Illusive Mirage.
The giant Illusive Mirage soared into the sky, and everyone boarded it and headed towards the Misty Ocean.
Meanwhile, outside the Misty Ocean.
Countless cultivators had gathered there, staring at the giant golden pillar of light with longing in their eyes.
That was the entrance to the Emperor's Road!
The reappearance of the Emperor's Road that had disappeared for hundreds of thousands of years excited many cultivators.
"Although the Emperor's Road has appeared, how are we supposed to enter the Misty Ocean?"
"Yeah, even Saint Rulers don't dare to barge into the Misty Sea. Are we just going to watch from the side?"
"I don't care. The Emperor's Road is right in front of us, so I'll give it a try even if it kills me."
Many cultivators took out their Fairy boats and placed them on the surface of the ocean.
There was some kind of natural forcefield in the Misty Ocean that prevented cultivators from flying. If they wanted to enter, they could only ride on a Fairy boat. Moreover, the Fairy boat could not fly, so it could only be used as a normal boat.
Some cultivators entered the Misty Ocean on a Fairy boat, but before they could sail for more than a few miles, a terrifying roar came from the sea.
A ferocious sea beast emerged from the surface of the sea, and with a loud bang, it smashed the Immortal boat into pieces. The cultivators on the Immortal boat fell into the water, and then they were dragged into the sea by tentacles that came out of nowhere, and there was no more movement.
The cultivators at the shore of the Misty Ocean could not help but gulp when they saw that.
