After more than ten breaths of time had passed, Xiao Chen still couldn’t calm the excitement in his heart, for this was the true path of the Celestial Fate Marquis explored by the Divine Sky God King, one might say a direct transmission.

In the Outer World, although the Divine Sky Marquis had disseminated such a legacy throughout the lands of the Human Realm, over the years and through the lineages, it had long since ceased to resemble its original form.

"In my heyday, I derived a path of the Celestial Fate Divine Marquis, distinct from that of combat renown, reaching the pinnacle of Martial Arts, and thus I had the audacious capacity to defy heaven and challenge emperors," said the Divine Sky God King.

After imparting the secret technique to Xiao Chen, the Divine Sky God King took a deep breath and continued, "After spreading this secret to the Great Wasteland, in my later years I secluded myself in deep meditation, attempting to derive the path beyond the Celestial Fate God King. However, fate is too ethereal and boundless; even emperors are unable to fully explore it, let alone me. Despite meditating for a hundred thousand years, I remained stuck at the realm of the Celestial Fate God King, unable to envision what lies beyond, ultimately dying with regret."

What!

"There’s a path of fate beyond that of the Celestial Fate God King?" Xiao Chen was shocked to his core; this went beyond his wildest imagination. As a Supreme Ruler peak with the added title of God King, one capable of defying heaven to challenge emperors— if there truly was a realm of fate beyond this, then what terrifying realm could that be?

"I called it the path of the Celestial Fate Divine Emperor, but even after tens of thousands of years of effort, I failed to derive it," the elder said, a trace of decline flashing in his eyes. Though but a gathering of residual spirits, Xiao Chen still sensed the regret in the old man’s heart.

"Is there really a path beyond?" Xiao Chen mused softly. The Mysteries of fate, through the ages, have been grasped by only a very few.

"It’s a path of utmost strength, and perhaps also a path of inevitable dead-ends!"

"Then why didn’t the senior pass on the speculated methods of the sequel, allowing our human successors to carry on with your lifelong wish, and perhaps one day a Warrior will inherit your legacy and derive the true path of the Divine Emperor?" Xiao Chen questioned, for when he forged his title as Divine Marquis, he had only sensed the path of the God King, beyond which there was no guidance.

"What difference does it make, to say it or not? Since my dissipation, in these long years, how many Divine Marquises have been born, how many have ascended to God Kings, and how many have reached the peak of God Kings to carry out the act of defying heaven against emperors?"

"This...!"

Xiao Chen was at a loss for words; mighty individuals titled as God Kings are the great secrets of the humans, and with his current strength, he was not privy to just how many titled God Kings existed among the human race.

"The advancement from Divine Marquis to God King, and further to the peak of God King, is no easy feat; indeed, even advancing to God King effectively halts a Warrior’s path forward, for they lack the overwhelming strength to bear such profound fate!"

"Should one forcibly shoulder it, only soul dispersal awaits, no other outcome," said the elder softly to Xiao Chen, "just like this Black Iron Arrow, its material determines how much of the Mysteries it can bear. To hold more, it must be tempered to become more exquisite, higher in grade, to have the capacity to bear more Mysteries infused."

"To seek even greater strength, one must endure greater tribulations, a saying that equally applies to Warriors!"

"The junior is enlightened," Xiao Chen said while bowing deeply once again.

Equally, he had come to a clear understanding of the path ahead: to comprehend the nine Mysteries of fate, step onto the path of the King, and finally break through the five stages, ascending to the Supreme Realm!

"The path you take in body refinement – condensing the three primal energies – is an ancient technique, exceedingly venerable. Should you survive through the Blood Elemental Change, the Constant Elemental Change, and ultimately the Primordial Elemental Change without perishing, you could attain the title of Emperor by your flesh alone, rivaling the Ancient Ferocious Beasts at the dawn of the Desolate Wilds, those who once dared to strike across at divine beasts."

"As for comprehending the nine Mysteries, undergoing nine laws infusions into your Spirit, it likewise belongs to the ancient technique of Combat Qi cultivation called the Ninefold Ascension; once the nine Mysteries reach perfection and the laws are derived, after becoming a King, you will be guarded by nine laws."

"Regrettably, becoming a King is difficult, and pursuing the ancient technique of the Ninefold Ascension is even more so. Therefore, later generations of Warriors gradually gave up on this approach, venerating only one Mystery or law," the elder said, unsatisfied.

"But they fail to understand why the Martial Arts Tower was constructed with nine levels; nine is the ultimate number of heaven and earth. If one comprehends only a single Mystery or law, isn’t that tantamount to wasting the purpose of the nine levels of the Tower?"

"Branding the Martial Arts Tower with Spirit Items from heaven and earth is especially ludicrous. The Tower is the very foundation of a Warrior’s Martial Arts cultivation; and they recklessly imprint it with other Spirit Items," a tinge of dissatisfaction in the elder’s eyes.

In Xiao Chen’s eyes, however, there was only shock; Warriors in the Great Wasteland attempting to understand the nine Mysteries and derive the laws were deemed madmen, yet he had never imagined, these were the ancient methods of the Ninefold Ascension within Combat Qi cultivation.

Physical body ascending to Emperor, Ninefold Ascension!

One is the ancient title of tempering the body; the other, the ancient title for cultivating Combat Qi.

"Do you think when I struck across at alien emperors in my time, even grievously wounding them, it was solely due to fate grace upon me?" The elder looked deeply at Xiao Chen, "Without a substantial foundation, how could one accomplish such a defiance of heaven?

"And that is why you could awaken what remains of my Spirit and enter this Secret Realm – because your body has embarked upon the path of ancient cultivation and your Combat Qi has already condensed eight Mysteries. I do not wish a Warrior who treads upon the two ancient paths to give up on account of rumors in the Great Wasteland!"

With that said, the elder looked deeply at Xiao Chen once more and added, "What’s more, your Fate is not simple; there’s something about you that gives me a sense of trepidation!"

The elder pointed to where Xiao Chen’s Circulating Heaven Qi Sea was located, exactly where the Mountain River Seal had transformed into the foundation of the Martial Arts Tower.

Xiao Chen’s eyes were filled with shock; he realized he had underestimated those warriors who had once cultivated to the pinnacle of this world. Even if they had fallen countless eons ago, the remnants of their spirits still possessed unimaginable great power.

"To obtain stronger power, you must give more. It may seem like you’re creating shackles for yourself, but martial arts is about constantly surpassing oneself, breaking the chains that bind. You will gain much more!"

"Thank you, Senior, for imparting the Dao," Xiao Chen bowed again.

At this moment, a smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Chen’s mouth, and the light in his eyes grew ever more resolute. Now that he had insight into his true heart, all he sought was the pinnacle of combat power. Naturally, he would cultivate whatever way he could to attain the greatest strength.

"A warrior’s cultivation is inherently defying the heavens, wandering between life and death, stepping forward in hesitation. Without a sky-reaching Dao, the path is one you make with every step!"

Xiao Chen’s eyes shone brighter. This visit to the God King Stage had enlightened him on the path of martial arts for his future and had even triggered the manifestation of the original God King, pulling him into this space-time realm and granting him the most primal and mystical methods of qi fortune. The gains were indeed substantial.

...

The God King Stage!

Xiao Chen’s mind was pulled into that unfamiliar space-time. Although he had experienced several years in a dream state, only one day had passed in the outer world where his true body was seated on the God King Stage.

The purple and gold aura cascaded down like a waterfall, engulfing Xiao Chen’s body. Above his head, floating Qing Yun clouds, and atop the swirling qi fortune, two lotuses swayed with five-colored auspicious clouds floating around.

The other Divine Marquises who had come to see the potential of Xiao Chen, the newly advanced Divine Marquis, had also not left. Xiao Chen had been sitting atop the God King Stage for a full day’s time.

This was enough to pique their interest. Moreover, Xiao Chen had not only triggered various phenomena representing potential but also invoked a divine manifestation of the God King and received a boon from the original God King, a fate that made everyone envious.

Hum!

Finally, after a day of stillness, Xiao Chen showed signs of change. A wave emanated from his body, and an ethereal image of a lotus rose from within him.

Hum!

Instantly, the missing lotus from the three flowers on top of the Qing Yun was completed.

The true convergence of the Three Flowers, with the Five Qi directed towards the Yuan!

"This...!"

This scene instantly caused several Divine Marquises before the God King Stage to open their mouths wide in shock, rendered speechless.

They had never heard of a Three Flowers convergence having a later completion. Could it be that within just a day, Xiao Chen’s potential was replenished?

"It seems this young fellow has grasped his own Dao heart, eliminating the various illusions in his mind. Naturally, his Dao heart is stable, and he has found the path of a warrior that belongs to him," the Azure Blood Elder and the Lord of the Divine Marquis Palace remarked, surprised. However, a moment later, the Azure Blood Elder spoke.

As the Azure Blood Elder said, Xiao Chen had cut off the illusions in his heart and stabilized his Dao heart. The nightmare born from his true heart was extinguished, and he had a clear direction for cultivation. The portion of his potential that had been missing was naturally replenished!

"Could it be that he intends to cultivate all nine Daos?"

Despite such phenomena, eight types of Great Dao Mysteries were still emerging around Xiao Chen, naturally attracted by the eight mysteries he had comprehended, a sight that did not escape their attention.

"Madman! Madman!"

"To cultivate nine Daos simultaneously, you must understand all nine mysteries to their fullest extent, requiring nine times as long as other warriors. Moreover, during the emergence of the mysteries, you will need to endure nine infusions of rules into your spirit. This is simply pushing oneself to a dead end!"

"Interesting, I did not expect our Divine Marquis Palace to not have produced a new Divine Marquis for a long time, and when one finally appears, he causes such a great commotion, a huge shock. The ancient method of cultivating one Dao has not been seen for a long time, yet it has emerged in a junior!"

The speaker was a middle-aged warrior, with a mass of purple and gold ethereal mist at his brow. It was clear through the fluctuations of the mist that one could discern the warrior’s title.
