CHAPTER 1034: CHAPTER 1031: DAO CHU IMMORTAL SKILL

Upon realizing this key point, Ye Xuan immediately began searching around the Holy Pond.

Perhaps the final Ancient Character he desired was right here!

However, the area he was in was just this one place. Ye Xuan finished searching it in a moment, but he did not find any Ancient Character.

"Could it be that I guessed wrong..."

Ye Xuan slightly raised his eyebrows.

There must be a place he missed.

Ye Xuan did not rush to continue searching but instead calmed down to think.

A moment later.

Ye Xuan returned to the Holy Pond, facing the Celestial Stars Water.

As Ye Xuan touched the Celestial Stars Water, he was immediately submerged.

In the next instant, Ye Xuan’s figure disappeared.

Ye Xuan seemed to have passed through a large door, stepping into a new world.

When Ye Xuan opened his eyes again, he found himself in a new world.

In his vision, there was an endless stretch of ruins, extending endlessly.

The world was desolate, without a trace of Spiritual Energy.

Where Ye Xuan stood was probably the only piece of intact land.

Behind Ye Xuan was a Space-time Gate.

Ye Xuan gazed at the vast ruins, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Everything is within that game..."

Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze and looked down at his feet.

In front of Ye Xuan’s toes, a golden Ancient Character was jumping.

This time, Ye Xuan did not take it.

The golden Ancient Character automatically flew up, entering Ye Xuan’s forehead and merging into the Mud Ball Palace with the other one thousand one hundred and ninety-nine Ancient Characters.

At this moment, the incomplete Ancient Characters were finally complete.

Just as Ye Xuan had guessed.

The complete form of this Ancient Character was—Immortal!

Golden light enveloped Ye Xuan’s body.

An indescribable power emanated from the Mud Ball Palace, and the golden Ancient Character actively merged with Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul.

Boom!

At this moment, Ye Xuan’s aura surged.

Rumble—

Behind Ye Xuan, a faint and ethereal black Emperor’s Shadow slowly emerged.

Although it looked very transparent, it was indeed the true Emperor’s Shadow!

The power of the Emperor Soul was soaring.

Since the revival of his Emperor Soul, this was the first time Ye Xuan had revealed his Emperor’s Shadow!

Not only that, but Ye Xuan’s cultivation also directly broke through the Heavenly Venerate Realm, transcending to the Saint Realm!

At this moment.

Ye Xuan.

Transcendent to Saint.

Nine Saint Realms’ First Realm—Entering Saint.

Everything came so naturally.

As Ye Xuan’s eyes opened and closed, there seemed to be a mysterious Dao Intent circulating within them.

His black eyes were as deep as an ancient long night.

Meanwhile.

On Dao Chu Cliff, Bei Yao Shenwu, as if suddenly enlightened, was able to recognize the characters on the Saint Paper.

"Dao."

"Chu."

"Skill."

Bei Yao Shenwu recited the three Ancient Characters.

"The fourth character that Emperor Ye wanted is—Immortal."

"Together, they form Dao Chu Immortal Skill!"

A hint of realization appeared in Bei Yao Shenwu’s eyes.

As time slowly passed.

Inside the Mystic Cave.

Ye Xuan remained seated on the third meditation cushion.

A moment later.

Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes and gently exhaled a murky breath.

At this moment, Ye Xuan’s entire being had undergone a dramatic transformation in aura.

Every move he made seemed to naturally embody Dao Intent.

This was the terrifying feeling after transcending to Saint.

Ye Xuan stood up, looking at the black ’Xuan’ character above, without saying a word.

His initial guess was that this ’Xuan’ character was the final Ancient Character.

But the truth proved that this black ’Xuan’ character was not the final Ancient Character.

Now, all three thousand Ancient Characters were complete.

Ye Xuan turned and left.

A moment later.

Ye Xuan returned, once more standing before the ’Xuan’ character.

This time, Ye Xuan did not hesitate and directly enveloped the ’Xuan’ character with the power of the Emperor Soul, attempting to merge it.

Unexpectedly, when Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul touched the ’Xuan’ character, the ’Xuan’ character actively merged with Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul.

Moreover, the old ’Immortal’ character that had already merged into Ye Xuan surprisingly yielded the central position to allow the ’Xuan’ character to settle in.

All of this was just as Ye Xuan had guessed.

Soon.

The ’Xuan’ character was merged with Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul.

Ye Xuan turned and left without looking back.

After today, the Mystic Cave would probably be but an empty name.

The three meditation cushions would no longer serve any purpose.

Ye Xuan walked out of the Mystic Cave, his expression calm, but in his heart, he thought silently: Let the future reveal who in this game is the true Dragon Slayer.

As Ye Xuan took the ’Xuan’ character, at that moment, in the unknown Dark World, the previously closed golden vertical eye suddenly opened.

That golden vertical eye, once cold and unfeeling, now displayed a look of astonishment, tinged with disbelief.

Simultaneously.

The changes in the Dao Chu Ancient Land accelerated.

In some ancient hidden corners of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, there were roars, gasps of amazement, and loud laughter.

In likewise an unknown ancient world, a black ancient Liu Shu stood tall.

This ancient Liu Shu had existed there for an untold number of years.

He had a name.

Old Ghost Liu Tree.

The twilight of heaven and earth, forged through eternity.

Buried heavens and an earthly grave—Old Ghost Liu Tree.

This was a saying from distant ages, used to describe Old Ghost Liu Tree.

At this moment, the branches of the Old Ghost Liu Tree swayed, seemingly perturbed.

For a long while.

"You really dare to meddle like this..."

A voice, ethereal and distant, slowly echoed, as if muttering to itself, or perhaps speaking to someone.

And meanwhile.

As Ye Xuan just walked out of the Mystic Cave, he also heard this voice.

Ye Xuan’s lips curved slightly, and he softly said, "I truly hope those guys really consider me a fool..."

This time, however, Ye Xuan received no response.

But Ye Xuan knew better than anyone.

His act of taking the ’Xuan’ character would undoubtedly agitate those people.

The words from Old Ghost Liu Tree made Ye Xuan understand that his choice was indeed the right one!

That ’Xuan’ character contained much that even some existences dared not touch.

Ye Xuan left the Mystic Cave and headed straight for Dao Chu Cliff.

He went to find Bei Yao Shenwu and carried the remaining three Ancient Characters within himself.

Only in this way could he fully comprehend those characters.

This was also his greatest goal.

Soon.

Ye Xuan returned to Dao Chu Cliff.

"Emperor Ye!"

Bei Yao Shenwu flashed in front of Ye Xuan, speaking excitedly: "I remembered, these three characters are Dao, Chu, and Skill!"

"Add the ’Immortal’ character you got last, and together it’s Dao Chu Immortal Skill!"

"Dao Chu Immortal Skill?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan showed a trace of surprise.

"Exactly, it is the Dao Chu Immortal Skill." Bei Yao Shenwu nodded.

Ye Xuan took the three pieces of Saint Paper, looked at those three Ancient Characters, and muttered, "Dao Chu Immortal Skill..."

"It feels like a Cultivation Technique?"

Ye Xuan was a bit surprised.

In his speculation, these Ancient Characters pertained to the secret of Dao Chu Ancient Land and the chess game.

It now appears that this so-called Dao Chu Immortal Skill is the secret of Dao Chu Ancient Land?
