The impregnable pass towered here, swirling with chaotic energy. There wasn't a single person here. It was silent for endless time, giving off a grand atmosphere amidst the hazy and drifting nothingness.
Enormous stone pillars towered into the nebula one after another, as if they were pillars that supported the heavens. They stood in front of the impregnable pass, every single one of them a piece of history, engraved with the veins of time.
Dozens of stone pillars stood side by side, towering and imposing. The one surrounded by the Taiyin Qi and the roaring of the Heavenly Path was definitely a Human Emperor. On Mount Meru, the Great Leiyin Temple was situated, manifesting the Dharma and Logos of Amitabha. It was the mark of a grimace. Amidst the bitterness, there was a smile, and there were traces of tears. It symbolized the life of Ruthless. An ancient mirror, an afterimage, fought to the death, quelling the chaos of the seven restricted regions, narrating the end of the void. The Primal Chaos Bell suppressed past and present, its back facing all living things, life and death a mystery. The supreme being Wu Shi had no end. A green lotus shattered the endless skies, standing tall and proud, gazing into Broken Immortal Domain.
There were more than ten enormous stone pillars that stood side by side. From the Ancient Emperors to the Great Emperors, they came from different powerful races. Their marks were carved on them, but they weren't glorious or glorious, just a type of imprint.
So many Great Emperors had walked on the ancient path, it was shocking and made one's imagination run wild.
Unfortunately, time had passed and could not return. The Great Emperors had never met each other before. What kind of feelings did they have to leave their names here?
It must have been the loneliness of being invincible all his life, looking at his own kind from afar.
Great Emperors were born from cruel competition. When they reached the final step, they surpassed everything. There was no one who could stand shoulder to shoulder with them. Only the ancient emperors who passed away in meditation were their enemies and friends. They were the same type.
Ye Fan and the others walked around the pillars, observing the historical sites and looking at the divine stones. Their hearts were greatly moved, as if they could see one lonely Great Emperor after another stopping here.
The impregnable pass was extremely quiet, not a single person guarding it. The great gates were tightly shut, and an enormous bronze ring with a beast head hung from it. The city walls were tall and without luster, as if no one had come here for a long time.
This was the first stage of the Ancient Road to Ultimate Eternity!
In reality, it had many names. Some called it the Celestial Path, some called it the Emperor's Path, some called it the Only Path to Godhood, and some called it the Heaven's Path.
That path was too terrifying. Unless one was a Great Sage, they wouldn't even be able to push open the city gates, much less barge through. This was also the reason why those who hadn't reached a certain level of cultivation and didn't possess the corresponding strength couldn't come here.
It was rumored that this Emperor's Road had a total of nine stages. Of course, this was only one of the theories. Some said it was eight stages, and some said it was endless. These were the speculations of the Dao Protectors of the various races. Only the Ancient Emperors knew how to reach the end.
According to the first theory, there weren't many impregnable passes, only eight or nine, but every single pass had endless murderous tribulations.
This was the true burial ground of heroes, even more intense and cruel than the human race's ancient path. It was because this was the place where all of the most powerful races of the cosmos fought for supremacy. It was just too terrifying.
Too many heroes were buried behind this impregnable pass. There were some who truly had the appearance of emperors, but they unexpectedly fell. This type of tragedy had always played out since ancient times.
"There is another saying that a great trial is a layer of heaven. In the end, one must ascend to the Nine Heavens, sweep through deities, defeat everything, and then finally ring the emperor's bell, resounding through ten thousand regions." Pang Bo said.
Before coming here, they had already asked the Dao protectors of the Ancient Road of the Humankind in detail, and learned quite a few secrets. Now that they were here, they were greatly moved.
"There is also another saying that each pass is a world, different from what we see with our own eyes. The nine ancient cosmos will be the ultimate battlefield."
Ye Fan took a deep breath. From now on, the people they would face would be even more terrifying. Perhaps each and every one of them would be an unparalleled great enemy.
Of course, there wouldn't be many people on this path, but none of them could be taken lightly.
"The lowest number of people who entered was fifty-five in total. There were no records of the highest number, and no one went to count. "
Ye Fan's group walked toward the gate, preparing to ascend the Path of Heaven and engage in the final battle. However, with a light buzzing sound, a giant monument appeared in front of the tightly shut gate.
It silently manifested, emitting an aura that caused everyone to tremble. There were faint waves of Great Emperor fluctuations spreading out, intimidating people's souls.
The stone monument towered into the clouds, majestic and majestic. The front was like a sparkling mirror, flowing with light, able to reflect one's shadow. As for the four corners and the back, they were very dim and simple, no different from ordinary stones.
"This path really hasn't opened yet, the crystal monument is still blocking the gate," Ji Ziyue said softly.
The human dao protector had told them in detail everything they needed to pay attention to here. The Path of Heaven wouldn't open prematurely, it would wait for the majority of the trial takers of this era to appear, giving them enough time.
Before this, the impregnable pass would be tightly shut, unable to be opened. The crystal monument would block the city, and the cultivators who came here only needed to carve their name and leave their true body imprint.
In the future, once the impregnable pass opened, no matter where you were, a divine gate would appear for you to choose. You only needed to take a step and you would arrive here.
Thus, the crystal wall had a special meaning for cultivators. Anyone who could reach this place proved that they were the strongest in their own race.
When one's name was carved on the crystal wall, it also signified the birth of a peerless expert. They would be able to rampage through a region and become a venerable within a race.
This was the lifelong dream of many cultivators!
Not to mention the Emperor's Path, just being able to carve one's name here was enough. It represented a type of recognition, a type of supreme glory.
"This era has just begun, yet there are already fifty-three people!" Ji Haoyue revealed a look of shock.
The crystal monument towered into the clouds, every name carved on it shining. There were a total of fifty-three people, their names bold and powerful, erupting with divine multicolored light.
This crystal wall was truly too special. It flickered with a dreamy luster, making every name seem as if it had life, like a divine lamp that was eternally lit.
"Fifty-three people are only at the initial stage, too few. In the past era, there were at least fifty-five people who met the requirements. This kind of great golden era is rarely seen since ancient times. Only heaven knows how many people there are." Pang Bo said.
In the past, the era with the highest number of people, no one knew how many there were. It was rumored that it was because there were just too many people. That was an era of darkness, chaos, and resplendent great eras. As a result, heavenly geniuses appeared in large numbers.
Fifty-three names were like resplendent stars, shining brilliantly. Moreover, there was a number in front of every name, indicating the order of arrival.
"The first person's name is actually -- the Absolute Beginning!" Ye Fan was shocked, his heart moved.
Not only was this person's name special, it was also quite fitting. He was the first to arrive, his name Absolute Beginning. The two words Absolute Beginning flowed with hazy precious light. There was a type of terrifying great dao aura that suppressed all directions.
"Daring to use this type of name, does he really want to defy the heavens?" Longma clenched his teeth.
"Big Dipper has Origin Ancient Mine, could there be some connection between the two?!" Ji Ziyue said.
"Don't tell me he was raised in that life restricted region?" Pang Bo was also shocked.
"That shouldn't be the case. There aren't that many coincidences." Ji Haoyue shook his head.
Regardless, the one who inscribed the name "Absolute Beginning" on the crystal wall was definitely not simple. He was the first to arrive here, this type of name displayed a type of conviction.
They looked down one by one, from second to seventh. The names were all unfamiliar, unknown what race they were from.
Suddenly, Ye Fan was shocked. He recognized the eighth name, it was called -- Yin Tiande!
The three words were surrounded by hazy purple energy, shining within the mist. Within the tranquility, there was a type of majestic atmosphere that could devour mountains and rivers. It was actually him.
"He really came," Pang Bo said with a deep frown.
No one dared to underestimate a person with divine prohibitions. They all had to treat him seriously. He was absolutely powerful. Yin Tiande had come very early and had carved his true body's imprint.
"We have never seen the tenth person, but we have heard of him," Ji Ziyue said.
The tenth name, Golden Cicada, flowed with Buddhist light, hanging down from the crystal wall. It was auspicious and benevolent, as if there was a Buddha sitting there, chanting scriptures.
Big Dipper's West Bodhisattva Feeling and the human race's Ancient Road's Ku Toutuo were both extremely powerful, but they were both sent away by Golden Cicada. This was the only information that Ye Fan knew.
"Am … am I seeing things?" Pang Bo pointed at the top of the crystal wall and found a name that made him dumbfounded in the dazzling pile of names.
"Could it be that … he has also come!" Even the steady Ji Haoyue's expression changed, revealing a shocked expression.
There was a name there that was not unfamiliar to the people of Big Dipper. It was actually the White-robed Divine King, Jiang Taixu!
After a long time, Pang Bo was speechless and said, "Even the peerless Divine King has come?"
He was still stuck in the past, looking up at the White-robed Divine King. He did not know that he was already a Saint King.
"Isn't there a rule on the ancient road? Can Divine Kings also come?" Ji Ziyue's intelligent eyes moved, revealing a doubtful expression.
Ye Fan was very shocked. He did not expect to see Divine King Jiang's name on the crystal wall in front of the Path to Heaven. He sighed and said, "The human race's ancient road does not allow people like this to walk, but the final Emperor's Road has no restrictions. The Great Sage is the starting point. Moreover, the Divine King has lived a second life. Just in terms of life force, he has an unparalleled advantage. It doesn't matter which category he belongs to. "
This result made them unable to calm down for a long time. It was inevitable that Divine King Jiang would become the Great Sage, but what they would see on this road in the future was shocking.
"Why isn't there a Light Shaking Realm? This bastard has devoured so many terrifying constitutions. I think he should be strong enough now. Why hasn't he appeared yet?" They searched among the names.
"When the time comes, he will naturally appear. He won't be in a hurry. The order of the names doesn't mean anything," Ye Fan said.
Apart from that, people like the Central Emperor, Huo Lin 'er, and Huang Xudao were definitely qualified to appear, but they were nowhere to be seen. Clearly, they had not arrived yet.
It was already good enough that they could recognize a few of the fifty-odd names.
"There's a strange name here called Dongfang Taiyi. Who is this?" Pang Bo revealed a strange expression.
Ye Fan was stunned. When he saw the forty-nine names, he became suspicious and said, "It can't be the Demonic Human Elder, right?"
Back then, they had roasted the Golden Crow on the sun of the Big Dipper. The Black Emperor and Dongfang Ye had both been present. They had asked for the old man's name, but his words were unclear. It seemed to be Dongfang Taiyi.
"What the f * ck … …" Longma's saliva flew everywhere as he grumbled endlessly. How was he going to live? Even the Savage Elder had arrived.
"This master only eats the Great Sage. The Golden Crow of the Huosang Planet and the Great Sage of the Nest of Ten Thousand Dragons are all crunchy to him. He can swallow them in a few bites," Longma said. He was truly terrified. Even though they were on the same side, if they were to meet on this path in the future, he would still feel a bit uneasy.
He clearly remembered the way the Demonic Human Elder had stared at him when his old illness had relapsed. It was as if he was looking at a golden, glossy, and fragrant roasted horse.
Ye Fan was also in a daze. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that there really weren't any forbidden rules on this path. There was only one condition, and that was that you had to be strong enough!
The Demonic Human Elder had wandered through the universe and actually arrived here. No one knew whether he had eaten a lot along the way, or whether he had swept and fought his way here.
Ye Fan, Pang Bo, Ji Ziyue, and the others all felt that this crystal tablet was too valuable to them. Just a glance was enough to obtain so much shocking information.
"The fiftieth person sure has a big tone. He really dares to name himself … Supreme Emperor!"
The word Supreme Emperor was too eye-catching. It was impossible not to notice it.
Suddenly, a sigh was heard.
"Sigh, I missed it in the end. I only left for a short while, and the fiftieth position is already occupied. Moreover, it's this name. Could it be that he has come into being?"
In the distance, a figure walked over. His whole body was wrapped in primal chaos, hazy and mysterious. He stared at the fiftieth position on the crystal tablet and let out a long sigh.
