The Ancient Road of Stars
"Grand Principal, Ye Fei has just broken through to the Half-Emperor Realm. Isn't it too difficult for him to take the Ancient Road of Stars?" Xi Yingqing asked in surprise.
The white-robed elder shook his head solemnly. "An unpolished jade is worthless! Others may wait, but Ye Fei can't. He's a person abandoned by the heavens. No one knows how terrifying his Martial Emperor Tribulation will be. Only the Ancient Road of Stars can help him transform! "
Xi Yingqing asked in a serious tone, "Grand Principal, are you gambling?"
The white-robed elder said firmly, "Since this little guy can open the True Martial Sacred Hall that no one has opened for ten thousand years, I'll take the gamble. If Ye Fei passes the Ancient Road of Stars, our True Martial Sacred Academy will definitely prosper. If he can't pass, then the True Martial Sacred Academy will be buried with him! Yingqing, do you understand my painstaking efforts? "
"Of course I understand. The Heavenly Tribulation Liquid can only be used once, and it can only extend our lifespans for ten years. If we can't see the rise of the True Martial Sacred Academy in these ten years, then when we die, the True Martial Sacred Academy will be removed from the Central Plains. Ye Fei is our only hope." Xi Yingqing's tone was solemn.
The white-robed elder sighed. "We're all old. The hope of reviving the Sacred Academy depends on this little guy. We must fully support him on this path."
"…"
Ye Fei was very satisfied with the power of the White Tiger Divine Sword. "The White Tiger is in charge of killing. This White Tiger Divine Sword is powerful enough, but it's not perfect when used. It still has room for improvement."
Although the Four Manifestations of True Martial was an incomplete Primordial Celestial Technique, the power of each manifestation was equivalent to a Martial Emperor's lost technique of the other Sacred Academies.
Of course, to fully master the White Tiger Divine Sword and unleash its power, the most important thing was to cultivate the White Tiger Domain.
Only with a domain could the White Tiger Divine Sword's power be maximized.
"I'm only at the initial stage of forming the White Tiger Divine Sword. There's still a long way to go before I can form the White Tiger Domain. Continue your closed-door training and see if you can condense the White Tiger Domain … "
Ye Fei had only appeared for a few breaths of time before he disappeared into the Saint Pagoda and continued to cultivate. Another three months passed, and he had finally cultivated the White Tiger Divine Sword to the point where he could use it as he pleased.
However, Ye Fei was still unable to cultivate the White Tiger Domain.
It wasn't that he wasn't talented enough, but that the spiritual river in the Sages Tower was nearly dried up. After all, the spiritual river in the Sages Tower was formed by the convergence of spirit veins, and the spirit veins in Ye Fei's hands weren't endless.
By the time he finished refining the spiritual energy in the Sages Tower, the spiritual river would naturally disappear. Fortunately, the spirit vein in the Sages Tower was still there. As long as he waited for the spiritual energy in the spirit vein to recover, he would have an endless supply of spiritual river to cultivate.
"Eh? Third Dean, why are you standing outside? Is there something you need from me?" Ye Fei called back Xiao Cao and the Dragon Turtle, then put away the Sages Tower and walked out of the cave. He saw Xi Yingqing standing outside and quickly invited him into the cave.
Xi Yingqing nodded slightly and said, "Ye Fei, since you've broken through to the half-step Emperor realm and cultivated the Four Aspects of True Martial, you can forget about advancing quickly in the Saint Court unless you walk on the Ancient Path of the Stars."
"What's the Ancient Path of the Stars?" Ye Fei was curious.
Xi Yingqing's expression was solemn. "The Ancient Path of the Stars' formation dates back to the ancient times. It's an exclusive training ground for the ancient and primordial geniuses. There are countless opportunities hidden in it, and there are also many opportunities, secret realms, and ruins left behind by Martial Emperors, Martial Gods, and even Sovereigns of the world. Just finding one will benefit you immensely.
"When the Holy Scions of the four great Saint Courts graduate, many will choose to enter the Ancient Path of the Stars to train as their final graduation test. Of course, it's not just our Saint Courts. Many of the quasi-Emperor Noble Clans' genius disciples will enter to train as well. Now, it all depends on whether you dare to enter or not …"
Xi Yingqing's introduction was very detailed. At the end, he added, "For example, the Immemorial Heavenly Technique that the Tianfa quasi-Emperor obtained was found in a ruin left behind by the Heavenly Thunder Holy Sect on the Ancient Path of the Stars."
"Dean, what did you say? There are Immemorial Heavenly Techniques on the Ancient Path of the Stars?" Ye Fei's eyes widened in shock. However, he was not blinded by these temptations. Instead, his expression turned grave.
"This Ancient Path of the Stars must be very dangerous, right?"
An Immemorial Heavenly Technique was already sufficient for any quasi-Emperor to fight to the death for it.
"That's right. This Ancient Path of the Stars is very dangerous. Even a quasi-Emperor might die if they are not careful. However, anyone who can successfully pass through the Ancient Path of the Stars safely passed the Martial Monarch Tribulation and became a Martial Monarch or even a quasi-Emperor."
Xi Yingqing paused for a while, giving Ye Fei some time to digest this information. Then, he said, "Ye Fei, you can also reject this path. That way, as long as you can trigger the Martial Monarch Tribulation within ten years, we three quasi-Emperors and the Supreme Dean will do our best to help you overcome this Heavenly Tribulation."
"Dean, in that case, have you ever walked this Ancient Path of the Stars?" Ye Fei asked after thinking for a while.
Xi Yingqing said, "Of course. Back then, this old man was thirty years old and became the Holy Son of the True Martial Sacred Court. Only when I was fifty years old did I muster the courage to step onto the Ancient Path of the Stars with the Holy Sons of the other three Holy Academies and the peak geniuses of more than twenty quasi-Emperor Noble Clans. In the end, two-thirds of us died in the Ancient Path of the Stars. The rest of us returned safely and broke through to Martial Monarch! "
"Does that mean that if one passes the Ancient Path of the Stars, they will definitely be able to pass the Martial Monarch Tribulation?" Ye Fei was secretly shocked. Two-thirds of the twenty or so peak geniuses had died. This casualty ratio was too horrifying. However, Ye Fei soon noticed another important piece of information.
Everyone who walked out of the Ancient Path of the Stars successfully passed the Martial Monarch Tribulation. This made Ye Fei's heart beat faster. After all, he was a person abandoned by the heavens. The difficulty of passing the Martial Monarch Tribulation was ten times or even dozens of times more difficult than the others.
Even if he comprehended the Mysteries and merged his Domains, which could reduce the difficulty of passing the Martial Monarch Tribulation to a certain extent, this was only a theoretical speculation. In fact, Ye Fei was not confident that he could pass the Martial Monarch Tribulation. However, the appearance of this Ancient Path of the Stars gave Ye Fei a glimmer of hope.
"Third Dean, are you sure that the people who walked out of the Ancient Path of the Stars successfully passed the Martial Monarch Tribulation?" Ye Fei's expression was very serious.
Xi Yingqing said in a deep voice, "I'm sure. It's clearly recorded in the ancient records that none of the geniuses who walked out of the Ancient Path of the Stars failed to pass the Martial Monarch Tribulation. However, I can't guarantee that this Ancient Path of the Stars will be effective for those who were abandoned by the heavens. "
"Everything depends on effort. If we don't try, how will we know that it won't be effective?" Ye Fei shook his head. His eyes suddenly became firm, "I want to give this Ancient Path of the Stars a try!"
Seeing that Ye Fei had made up his mind so easily, Xi Yingqing was shocked. He said in a deep voice, "Ye Fei, you've made up your mind so quickly. Aren't you afraid of the dangers of the Ancient Path of the Stars?"
"Of course I'm afraid. However, as long as there's a slight possibility that it can reduce the danger of my Martial Monarch Tribulation, I have to give it a try."
Ye Fei's tone was resolute and decisive.
The Martial Monarch Tribulation was a fatal tribulation for those who were abandoned by the heavens. He had to find a way to pass this tribulation. Only by passing the Martial Monarch Tribulation could he truly reach the peak of the Martial Path.
"However, Third Dean, I can't go on the Ancient Path of the Stars right now. If you're willing, I would like to take a leave and go home."
