Chapter 671: Chapter 615: Leaving Heavenly Gate, Heading to the Center Six Updates

Ye Chen had reached a remarkable stage in his cultivation and, being reborn twice as the Heavenly Pride across the Ten Thousand Domains, he naturally uncovered many secrets, among which the Dragon Phoenix Academy was one.

Among the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, the Ten Thousand Domain Mansion was the most renowned Cultivation Academy, acclaimed as the foremost of its kind. The Academy was considered the Supreme Sacred Land and recruited the most talented and extraordinary youths from across the realms, enjoying a prestigious reputation.

However, that did not mean there were no other Cultivation Academies that could compare. Dragon Phoenix Academy was another pinnacle institution, able to stand on equal footing with the Ten Thousand Domain Mansion and jointly holding the top spot among the myriad domains.

Moreover, there was a rumor that Dragon Phoenix Academy was not just a title—it was named because a True Dragon and an Undying Immortal Phoenix were said to be dormant within the Academy.

Compared to the widespread fame of the Ten Thousand Domain Mansion, the Dragon Phoenix Academy was much more low-key and always hidden from the world, only emerging when the battle for supremacy among the Human Emperors began, robustly recruiting extraordinary talents from across the realms.

Ye Chen was surprised to receive an invitation from the Dragon Phoenix Academy, especially at this time.

"Combat Saint King, our Dragon Phoenix Academy has only emerged recently but has already recruited numerous talented youths from across the vast domains and received responses from countless exceptional figures. Our Academy possesses infinite resources for cultivation and I assure you that you won’t be disappointed. If you agree to join, we will allow you to cultivate in the Ancient Divine Domain," said Elder Hea Hua cheerfully, dropping a substantial bombshell right from the start.

The Ancient Divine Domain was a mysterious ancient area, rumored to have been inhabited by actual Divine beings, possibly the Mythical Emperor and Royals, full of mysteries but also containing endless treasures.

There had been individuals who obtained a portion of the Divine inheritance from the Ancient Divine Domain, immediately rising to become a Great Power, hence it was very renowned.

However, the Ancient Divine Domain was difficult to enter; without a special method, it was utterly inaccessible, even the Ancient Great Powers were helpless.

Ye Chen had not expected the Dragon Phoenix Academy to extend such a generous olive branch to recruit him, and even he couldn’t help but be tempted, as it involved the Emperor and Royals.

Yet despite the turmoil within, he appeared calm and shook his head, saying, "Although the Ancient Sacred Domain is very enticing, supposedly holding the Mythical Emperor and Royal inheritances, you should understand, Elder, that the inheritance of the Combat Saint Lineage I carry is not inferior to any Emperor or Royal inheritance."

Elder Hea Hua couldn’t help but show a look of astonishment, not expecting that faced with the allure of the Ancient Divine Domain, the Combat Saint King could remain as immovable as a rock. He saw that Ye Chen truly seemed indifferent about the preciousness of the Ancient Divine Domain and also understood that the inheritance that Ye Chen carried from the Combat Saint Lineage was founded by a Great Emperor during the Mythical Era, genuinely also an inheritance from the Emperor and Royals.

Naturally, Ye Chen was not untempted, he was merely driving down the price, waiting to see if the Dragon Phoenix Academy would release any other more tempting olive branches.

If there was something sufficiently tempting, he wouldn’t mind joining the Dragon Phoenix Academy.

Dragon Phoenix Academy, despite being a Supreme Sacred Land, was still a Cultivation Academy and did not require students to sever ties with their original sects, but merely recruited students into the Academy, providing copious Cultivation Resources.

Naturally, though it seemed to provide limitless resources, should anything happen at the Dragon Phoenix Academy, those Heavenly Prides who had emerged from its halls wouldn’t just stand by. It represented a profoundly terrifying latent power, deterring the strong ones of the world.

Elder Hea Hua appeared to understand Ye Chen’s meaning, arrogantly saying, "Combat Saint King, I understand what you mean, but please understand that the Dragon Phoenix Academy is no ordinary Cultivation Academy. It appears only during the battles for the title of Human Emperor, and through the generations, true Human Emperors have emerged from our academy. We have the sites where they meditated in seclusion and we possess other invaluable, rare secret treasures, including Chaos Immortal Gold and handwritten notes from Emperors and Royal Families; naturally, the academy owns them as well."

This statement was not an exaggeration, as all these things indeed existed within the Dragon Phoenix Academy.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was indeed tempted. Each item mentioned was a true treasure, but the condition was that one must have the ability to obtain them through one’s own power.

Ye Chen neither agreed nor declined, his intentions remaining ambiguous. He sent Elder Hea Hua from the Dragon Phoenix Academy away, but just before leaving, Elder Hea Hua suddenly smiled at him, "Combat Saint King, you may not agree now, but we believe you will definitely come."

"Why?"

"Because in the Dragon Phoenix Academy, there are Holy Body Relics," Elder Hea Hua laughed heartily and strode away, leaving an astonished Ye Chen behind.

In the Dragon Phoenix Academy, there astonishingly resided Holy Corpse Relics from the Combat Saint lineage, a fact that even made someone like him, who had attained a state of unshakeable mental calm, slightly tremble in his heart.

It had to be said, this point genuinely gave him the impulse to visit the Dragon Phoenix Academy, not for anything else, but solely for the sake of the lineage’s Holy Corpses.

Not long after the elder from the Dragon Phoenix Academy had left, another person arrived at the Heavenly Gate—an elder from the Ten Thousand Domain Mansion, also inviting Ye Chen to join.

Indeed, in his previous life, Ye Chen had been one of the Heavenly Prides of the Ten Thousand Domain Mansion; otherwise, the Lord of Ten Thousand Domain would not have sided with him before the Heavenly Pass.

However, Ye Chen tactfully declined the elder from the Ten Thousand Domain Mansion’s invitation and explicitly stated his reason. The elder did not blame Ye Chen, understanding the importance of the Holy Body Relics for someone with the Combat Saint Body and mentioned that he would inform the upper echelons of the Ten Thousand Domain Mansion.

A month later, Ye Chen officially left, taking Ruoxi with him. The duo, brother and sister, exuded extraordinary presence—he with his outstanding heroism and she with her enchanting beauty, like celestial partners, opened the long-distance spatial gate at the Heavenly Gate and left for the Ten Thousand Domain Center.

The Ten Thousand Domain Center, as its name suggests, is the central region of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, not only the most prosperous and flourishing area but also a gathering place for the most powerful groups and beings in the entire Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, crowded with countless forces, including Immortal Forces and Supreme Sacred Lands, and even Emperors and Royal Families.

The Human Emperor Palace, the number one force of the Ten Thousand Domains, was located in the Central Land.

Here, there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers, countless powerful individuals, so that even Saints could not walk with arrogance.

Naturally, the Ten Thousand Domain Center was also unimaginably vast, far surpassing ordinary Great Domains, consisting of nine Great States, each of which spanned an area as vast as an entire region.

The Heavenly Gate featured a long-distance spatial gate, and since the Tiancang Domain was sufficiently close to the Ten Thousand Domain Center, three hours later, Ye Chen and Ruoxi descended upon a place called Heavenly Light State in the Ten Thousand Domain Center.
