"After leaving the Heavenly Gate Main Hall, Ye Chen was inford about the mysteries beyond the Nine Layers Emperor Pass. He was startled but maintained a calm expression, not seeming troubled.
For he knew he would eventually reach the Absolute Peak of Dao and had nothing to fear, rely worried that his parents and clan mbers could not withstand the passing of ti.
Yet, he found it odd. Those from the Ye Family guarding the Tenth Layer Emperor Pass, why would they take their own clan mbers away? After all, his strongest father, Ye Ao, was only at Demigod Realm, and the rest of the clan had shallow cultivation levels. What use would it be to take them to the Tenth Layer Emperor Pass?
To say they were advancing to slay enemies was impossible; they were too weak. It was likely that any powerful individual from the Alien Race could easily annihilate the entire Ye Family.
He suspected that his family seed to be hiding so significant secrets, even he, the son of the Family Head, was not privy to.
Before leaving, the Heavenly Gate Master asked when he would depart to the Ten Thousand Domain Center. Ye Chen responded, in a month.
The return of the Combat Saint King to Heavenly Gate caused a frenzy among countless disciples. If not for the strict orders of the elders, countless disciples would have requested to see the Combat Saint King.
Such popularity, unmatched in Heavenly Gate except by the Heavenly Gate Master.
Ye Chen found this sowhat amusing and unexpected, but he would occasionally appear and enter the cultivation field of Heavenly Gate Disciples, offering guidance.
Standing at such a height, Ye Chen was long qualified to take disciples and teach Martial Arts—naturally proficient in guiding the Heavenly Gate Disciples, often offering deep insights in a few words.
Occasionally, he would hold lectures about the many complexities on the path of Cultivation, analyzing and clarifying doubts, enlightening many disciples.
Naturally, each lecture drew countless disciples; mountains and fields would swarm with them, even so elders appeared, gaining insights from his lectures, compelled to admire the Combat Saint King’s profound understanding of the universe, far surpassing ordinary Saints.
Mostly, he spent ti with his younger sister Ruoxi. However, this ti, Ruoxi planned to accompany Ye Chen to the Ten Thousand Domain Center and did not intend to stay in Heavenly Gate.
Though Ruoxi appeared fragile like a celestial, stunningly beautiful, she was also a powerful woman, a figure at the Saint Master Level, commonly understated like a celestial, hence often overlooked.
During this period, Ye Chen also visited old friends like the Thirteenth Prince, and rather than making things difficult, the elders and disciples of Heavenly Gate took good care of them—any of them knew the Thirteenth Prince’s association with Ye Chen.
Many disciples, far superior in cultivation, personally visited, eagerly inquiring about many matters of the Combat Saint King, all naturally showing great respect, not acting superior.
Other elders similarly cared greatly for them, offering generous guidance and speaking politely.
After all, these were friends who rose from ordinary beginnings with the Combat Saint King in this lifeti; how could they be neglected?
The Thirteenth Prince and Princess Hongs Rong did not act arrogantly because of their association with Ye Chen but were polite, harmoniously interacting with many disciples of Heavenly Gate, cheerful and congenial. Seeing this, Ye Chen was reassured, but to prevent any special situations from arising in the future, he asked the elders to take extra care of them.
One day, while Ye Chen was ditating in Moonset Peak, an elder from Heavenly Gate suddenly ca and said respectfully, "Saint King, there are guests seeking you at the Five Peak Hall, said to be from the Ten Thousand Domain Center."
Ye Chen was sowhat surprised, but nodded his head, for the visitor must have had an extraordinary identity, otherwise, it wouldn’t have prompted an elder to personally co forward.
Ye Chen said to Ruoxi, who was reading the history of the Ten Thousand Domains by the chair in the room, "Xi’er, I will be stepping out for a mont."
Ruoxi lifted her head with a graceful smile and said, "Brother, take your ti."
"Please, elder, lead the way," Ye Chen said.
"As it should be."
Following the elder’s pace, Ye Chen ascended one of the peaks of the Heavenly Gate where the Great Heroic Palace stood, a palace for receiving distinguished guests. He t an elderly man with a gentle face, scholarly like an old scholar, which gave people a favorable impression instantly.
Upon seeing Ye Chen, the elder quickly rose from his throne, stepped forward, clasped his fists, and chuckled, "This must be the Combat Saint King of the Heavenly Gate. I have long heard of the Saint King’s great reputation. Seeing you today, truly, the reputation does not do justice to eting you in person—you are young and talented with supre potential."
Although it carried a hint of flattery, the elder couldn’t help but genuinely feel astonished looking at Ye Chen in front of him.
This Combat Saint King seed young, but his eyes were unexpectedly profound, like a bottomless abyss that seed to see through the world’s vicissitudes and all deceptions, making one feel as if there was nowhere to hide.
Moreover, although he was rely a Semi-Saint, the aura emanating from him involuntarily made this dominant figure tremble as if facing one of the most terrifying beasts from the Primordial eras.
Such a sensation was only felt when confronting a few supre beings with unparalleled origins. However, the Combat Saint King before him evoked that feeling too, no wonder his unprecedented fa was so widely spread across the Ten Thousand Domains.
This man was truly deserving of the title, "Dragon among n!"
The more he thought this, the warr the elder’s eyes beca.
Ye Chen modestly said, "The elder flatters too much. I dare not accept such high praise. May I know why the elder has sought out?"
Only then did the elder introduce himself with a hint of pride in his tone, "Apologies, I got carried away with our conversation and forgot to introduce myself. I am Hea Hua, an elder from the Dragon Phoenix Academy. I’m here in hopes of inviting the Combat Saint King to join our academy."
With those words, the elder, claiming to be from the Dragon Phoenix Academy, handed over a gold-plated invitation letter.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen solemnly took the gold-plated invitation letter from the elder’s hand. The letter bore images of dragons and phoenixes in graceful motion, circulating with special Dao Rhythms, as if the dragon and phoenix were truly appearing before his eyes, their cries echoing around.
Opening the invitation letter, an overwhelming yet harmonious aura filled the air, bearing lines of shining text, flowing with extraordinary Dao Rhythms.
The content was simple yet polite, rely inviting Ye Chen, a prodigious talent, to join the Dragon Phoenix Academy.
However, upon facing the invitation from the Dragon Phoenix Academy, Ye Chen’s expression beca stern,
For the Dragon Phoenix Academy was a supre institute, ranking alongside the Ten Thousand Domain Mansion.
