Shanhaiguan is the first pass on the Emperor's Road of theStormy Celestial Realm (Wild Heaven Immortal Domain).

Looking around, the entire majestic pass stands above the stars, towering and ancient, exuding a grand atmosphere.

The city gate is as high as a hundred zhang, resembling a heavenly gate, with an ancient plaque above it inscribed with the three characters "Shanhaiguan" in blood-like ink.

The entire Shanhaiguan city pass is enveloped in starlight and bathed in moonlight, like a silent, ancient giant.

A vast galaxy encircles the Shanhaiguan city pass, almost like a moat.

Such a magnificent and grand pass even made the well-traveled Jun Xiaoyao unable to suppress a sigh.

Jun Xiaoyao approached Shanhaiguan.

He could sense a powerful aura lurking deep within Shanhaiguan, at least that of a Supreme.

"It must be the guardian of Shanhaiguan," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

Each of the eighteen passes on the Emperor's Road has its guardian, who generally does not appear.

They only show themselves in the event of significant disturbances.

As soon as Jun Xiaoyao approached the city gate, the soldiers guarding the entrance blocked his path with their long spears.

"Those below the Celestial God realm are not allowed to enter!" said one soldier, clad in armor, with a cold tone.

Jun Xiaoyao's face was indistinct; although he possessed an extraordinary aura, he did not reveal any energy.

Without saying a word, Jun Xiaoyao's figure trembled slightly, and a wisp of aura directly pushed the soldiers aside.

He leisurely entered the city.

"This..." The soldiers felt their scalps tingle.

That aura sent chills down their spines.

"How is this possible? This is the first pass on the Emperor's Road; how could such a powerful prodigy appear?" The soldiers were filled with fear.

Logically, the further one goes on the Emperor's Road, the more opportunities one encounters, and the stronger the talents become.

But this is the first pass; there shouldn't be many opportunities at all.

The commotion at the city gate also attracted the attention of some people within Shanhaiguan.

A few disheveled young men, looking downcast, shook their heads slightly upon witnessing the scene.

"Those who are ignorant are not worth worrying about; another arrogant prodigy has stepped onto the Emperor's Road."

"Let him walk a bit further, and he will come to realize the harsh reality of the Emperor's Road."

"Indeed, how many of those top prodigies from the immortal forces have fallen?"

"Only a handful can make it onto the Wild Heaven Sacred List; most have turned to dust."

"I'm sorry to be a cultivator..."

These young men were clearly the failures of the Emperor's Road trials.

"Enough of that! Just because you failed your trials, you think others can't succeed?" A young girl in yellow could no longer hold back.

These people couldn't succeed themselves but always assumed others couldn't either.

"Reality is like this; only a small handful can make it onto the Wild Heaven Sacred List and gain fame on the Emperor's Road. Will he be one of them?"

The disheartened young men shook their heads, clearly resigned.

On the other side, Jun Xiaoyao was strolling within Shanhaiguan.

To be honest, after walking in the lonely universe for so long, arriving here felt somewhat familiar.

"This young master, having arrived at the first pass of the Emperor's Road, are you not going to leave your name on the stone tablet for remembrance?" a nearby cultivator asked.

"Oh?"

Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow.

Before long, he arrived at the center of Shanhaiguan and discovered a massive stone tablet towering into the starry river.

It was covered with numerous names, all left by prodigies who had challenged the Emperor's Road.

"This stone tablet is not so simple; prodigies with average talent and cultivation cannot leave their names on it," the nearby cultivator explained.

"Is that so?" Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly.

He had no interest in leaving his name on it.

Jun Xiaoyao's name did not need to be recorded on a stone tablet.

Once he breaks through the entire Emperor's Road, everyone will naturally proclaim his name.

Just as Jun Xiaoyao was about to leave, the disheveled young men approached him.

"Brother, if you lack the courage to even leave your name on the stone tablet, I advise you not to continue," one said.

"That's right; the Emperor's Road is perilous, not something we can challenge. It's better to stay here and preserve our lives."

"The splendor of the Emperor's Road belongs to those top prodigies, while we mediocre ones have nothing..."

These young men were not intentionally mocking; they simply believed that not everyone could thrive on the Emperor's Road.

"It seems you are not from theStormy Celestial Realm," Jun Xiaoyao suddenly said.

The young men were taken aback and nodded slightly.

If they were beings from theStormy Celestial Realm, upon seeing Jun Xiaoyao, they would at least be able to guess his identity.

Clearly, these people did not recognize him.

Jun Xiaoyao also understood that those who walked this Emperor's Road were not only prodigies from the荒天仙域 but also from the ancient star domains surrounding it.

If the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain is like nine colossal continents, then these ancient star domains are like small islands scattered along the edges of the continents.

Each of these ancient star domains is larger than the lower realms and contains some powerful orthodox forces and top prodigies.

However, it was evident that people from these ancient star domains could not possibly know Jun Xiaoyao.

At most, they might have heard of his name.

"This young master, don't listen to them; they are all failures, but you are different."

At that moment, the young girl in yellow appeared, her gaze towards Jun Xiaoyao shimmering with admiration.

Although Jun Xiaoyao was enveloped in celestial brilliance and mist, making his face indistinct, his ethereal aura could not be concealed, drawing her attention.

Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly and said nothing.

He raised his hand and just as he drew a line on the stone tablet.

Suddenly, the entire ancient stone tablet trembled violently, as if it were bearing immense pressure.

"What's happening?"

The soldiers at the city gate rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

All beings within Shanhaiguan were startled, their gazes filled with suspicion as they looked towards the stone tablet.

The towering stone tablet, inscribed with countless names of prodigies, began to crack and then collapsed with a loud crash under the line drawn by Jun Xiaoyao!

The entire stone tablet shattered into pieces!

All the cultivators and beings within Shanhaiguan were left dumbfounded.

The stone tablet that recorded countless brilliant prodigies had shattered just like that?

"How is this possible?" Many gasped in disbelief.

As for the disheveled young men, it was as if cold water had been poured over their heads, instantly waking them up, their eyes filled with horror.

The young girl in yellow was also stunned, appearing extremely shocked.

Previously, she had witnessed top prodigies like Long Xu Huang, Huang Jiu Yan, and the Third Prince of the Sea leave their names here.

However, none of them had caused the stone tablet to shatter; at most, they had shone brightly.

Yet now, this mysterious young master, who resembled a celestial being, had not even fully written his name before causing the stone tablet to break.

What did this signify?

"It seems this stone tablet is not worthy of bearing my name," Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly.

Then, he lost all interest in this first pass of Shanhaiguan and directly soared into the air, continuing on the Emperor's Road.

Leaving behind a group of shocked cultivators and beings within Shanhaiguan.

"What kind of prodigy has stepped onto the Emperor's Road?"

"Even the immortal heirs of theStormy Celestial Realm or ancient freaks cannot be this strong, right?"

Many cultivators and beings remaining at Shanhaiguan were drenched in cold sweat.

A formidable figure had entered the Emperor's Road!

The young men were even more stunned, collapsing to the ground, their legs weak, unable to stand for a long time.

"This young master, what is his identity to be such a prodigy!" The young girl in yellow looked at Jun Xiaoyao with a mix of admiration and awe.

Deep within Shanhaiguan, a Supreme aura was spreading.

A figure stood tall, gazing at Jun Xiaoyao's departing back.

"The Jun family's divine son has stepped onto the Emperor's Road; this competition for supremacy on the Emperor's Road just got interesting..." the guardian of Shanhaiguan saidLight or faint.
