In an ancient courtyard, Ye Xingchen stood in a blue robe, hands clasped behind his back, gazing into the distance with deep contemplation about his upcoming journey to the Sacred Tomb.
Having spent nearly a year in this realm, countless experiences flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, evoking a myriad of emotions. Just as he was lost in thought, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly interrupted him: "Ding! Congratulations, host! You have one opportunity for an annual draw. Would you like to proceed?"
Without hesitation, Ye Xingchen replied, "Draw! Why not? Now is the time to enhance my strength."
"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have drawn the Holy Soldier's Time Sword."
This sword was extraordinary, possessing the power to sever lifespans. With a single swing, it could cut down a hundred years of life. Moreover, the higher one's cultivation level, the more pronounced its effects would be.
As soon as this announcement concluded, another piece of good news followed: "Congratulations, host! You have reached the peak of Emperor cultivation!"
With that proclamation, an overwhelming pressure surged from within Ye Xingchen, as if it were about to break through the heavens and shake the very foundations of the world. Had it not been for the exquisite formations surrounding the courtyard that contained this force, it would have caused a stir throughout the entire Qin State.
At the Emperor realm, one could reach for the stars and moon; every gesture held the power to change the world. In the mortal realm, an Emperor could establish nations and command respect across lands, with none daring to defy them.
Feeling the earth-shattering transformation of his own strength, a faint smile appeared on Ye Xingchen's face. He slowly spoke, his voice imbued with an indescribable confidence and composure: "So this is the power of peak Emperor? Truly remarkable! It surpasses my previous King realm by hundreds of times."
With his current strength and profound foundation, even facing Chen Canghai's grandfather would not guarantee victory. However, upon further reflection, he shook his head and cautioned himself: "But this is merely an illusion. Below the Saint realm, we are all but ants; this is no empty saying."
In the presence of such transcendent beings as Saints, we are insignificant creatures—truly inconsequential.
As Ye Xingchen resolved to journey to the Sacred Tomb, he suddenly recalled that he still possessed two precious Summoning Cards of Kings that had yet to be activated. Given past lessons learned, he understood that his return from this trip was uncertain. Thus, without hesitation, he took out those two cards filled with infinite possibilities and solemnly proceeded with the summoning.
In an instant, the air in the courtyard seemed to freeze as two figures slowly coalesced in mid-air, exuding an impressive aura that could not be underestimated.
Once they fully materialized, Ye Xingchen focused his gaze and saw two middle-aged men standing tall with extraordinary presence. They bowed respectfully and spoke in unison: "Ye Jing Tian and Ye Dong Di pay their respects to Ancestor Ye."
Ye Xingchen felt a stir within him and immediately activated his Breaking Void Eye to scrutinize these summoned powerful beings. Ye Jing Tian had reached late King cultivation and wielded a ground-level weapon called Dominance; his physique was a rare Dao Sha Body. Ye Dong Di also stood at late King cultivation and held a ground-level sword known as Sky Splitting Blade; his physique was identified as Sword Dao Killing Body.
If these two joined forces, their power would be earth-shattering enough to slay even Peak of King experts and could withstand attacks from first-level Emperors!
Ye Xingchen couldn't help but gasp in awe internally: "This is truly astonishing!" He nodded in satisfaction and addressed them: "Very good! Your strengths are exceptional; you can serve as my Elder Yejia."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jing Tian and Ye Dong Di displayed joy on their faces and respectfully bowed in gratitude: "Thank you for your recognition, Ancestor Ye."
Subsequently, Ye Xingchen summoned the family head Ye Wenhui. Although surprised at first sight of them due to previous encounters with extraordinary individuals like Ye Gucheng, he maintained his composure.
At Ye Xingchen's gesture, Ye Wenhui led the two newly appointed Grand Elders towards the family’s core area to arrange relevant matters for them.
