"Little Ran, it's time to go."

The voice of the master brought Ye Qingran's thoughts back to reality.

She slowly turned around and said to her master, "Master, I've made up my mind, I want to go to the Daoist Ancient Celestial Pool to meditate."

Upon hearing this, both Song Zhi'an and Huang Yingying displayed shocked expressions.

....

Within the inner barrier's small world of the Dao Ancient Divine Sect, there is a Celestial Pool forbidden area.

This Celestial Pool forbidden area was lifted by the founding ancestor from the Endless Southern Domain, bringing the entire Celestial Pool Sacred Island back to the sect.

It is said that the ancestor carried the entire Celestial Pool Sacred Island, traversing endless void to return to the Dao Ancient Divine Sect, and then set a space barrier within the Divine Sect to place the Celestial Pool Sacred Island inside.

From then on, the renowned Celestial Pool Sacred Island Secret Realm, which attracted countless people, became the private secret realm of the Dao Ancient Divine Sect, and was subsequently renamed "Daoist Ancient Celestial Pool".

.....

However, since the ancestor brought the entire Celestial Pool Sacred Island, the fierce beasts originally living on the island and some extremely dangerous places were also preserved.

Over the years, only the most outstanding and gifted disciples of the Dao Ancient Divine Sect had the qualification to enter the Daoist Ancient Celestial Pool for meditation and training.

The eighth sect leader, ninth sect leader, and eleventh sect leader of the Dao Ancient Divine Sect once meditated and cultivated at the Daoist Ancient Celestial Pool for a century, gaining supreme opportunities, rising from small outer disciples to become the Master of the Divine Sect!

Later, many others in the Divine Sect also gained opportunities, some left the Divine Sect to become giants on the continent, while others became elders of the Divine Sect, passing on teachings, and bearing students worldwide.

In short, the Daoist Ancient Celestial Pool is one of the most important secret realms of the Dao Ancient Divine Sect.

.....

However, great opportunities often come with extreme danger.

Over the years, the death rate of Divine Sect disciples entering the Daoist Ancient Celestial Pool for training has been frighteningly high.

The most terrifying incident occurred a thousand years ago when ten core disciples, who bore heavy expectations, entered the Daoist Ancient Celestial Pool simultaneously for training, and all perished, with not a single one surviving.

That incident dealt a significant blow to the Dao Ancient Divine Sect, as a hundred years of effort poured into the ten core disciples resulted in all of them falling.

Therefore, that century was the most difficult for the Dao Ancient Divine Sect. Due to the fall of the most outstanding young generation, they were ridiculed by other sects for that hundred years.

During that century, Dao Ancient Divine Sect was absent from all battles and competitions involving the younger generation on the continent.

It took a hundred years for the next batch of disciples to grow, allowing the young generation of the Dao Ancient Divine Sect to return to the stage of the times.

Ever since, the high-level members of the Dao Ancient Divine Sect ceased to overly rely on the Daoist Ancient Celestial Pool for cultivating disciples and significantly raised the threshold for entry.

.....

When Ye Qingran said she wanted to go to the Celestial Pool, everyone reacted so strongly.

Li Changtan also frowned and asked, "Are you really sure?"

"Yes, Master Ancestor, I want to give it a try."

The words of the ancestor earlier had completely moved her; the world is vast, and she also wishes that one day she could leave this continent and venture to a higher world.

Therefore, she must make efforts that ordinary people cannot bear and face dangers that ordinary people dare not confront.

"Since you have decided, then go and give it a try."

Although Li Changtan had been in seclusion for many years, he was still aware of Ye Qingran, the newly ascended Saintess, who had reached the Golden Core stage at a young age, with limitless potential for the future.

"Let's go."

.....

The stone hall within the Four Emperors Forbidden Land.

The Four Emperors sat around the square stone table, looking at each other and noticing the traces of time on one another.

Indeed, it has been over fifty thousand years now.

They hadn't expected to be trapped in this world for tens of thousands of years.

They still remembered when they first arrived on this continent, it was desolate, with no creatures to be seen, and later they learned that a tremendous battle had taken place here before their arrival.

Gradually, over tens of thousands of years, the continent slowly revived, with many human cultivators migrating from nearby continents across the Endless Sea, transforming this once barren continent into a thriving one.

Gathered every hundred years, they no longer knew how many centuries had passed.

Finally, in this century, they found the legendary Wood of Time.

.....

Bone Emperor, Dark Emperor, Emperor Huan, Southern Emperor.

At this moment, although their appearances had aged greatly compared to fifty thousand years ago, their auras had grown stronger.

Bone Emperor is now at Celestial Immortal Great Perfection.

Dark Emperor is a Ninth Realm Celestial Immortal, Emperor Huan an Eighth Realm Celestial Immortal, and Southern Emperor an Eighth Realm Celestial Immortal.

They hadn't imagined they could one day aspire to the supreme Immortal King Realm.

The gap between the Celestial Immortal Realm and the Immortal King Realm, despite appearing as only a single major realm, is akin to an insurmountable chasm.

.....

For a cultivator to achieve the Immortal King Realm, besides unparalleled talent, the most crucial part is seizing the fortune aimed at the heavens.

In the entire Ancient World, those with great talent are as numerous as the sands in a vast river.

However, the vast majority can only reach the Crossing the Tribulation stage, with ascension being a distant dream, let alone reaching the Celestial Immortal state, and certainly not the supreme Immortal King.

Each of them had once been prodigies who dominated their eras, yet they stopped at the Celestial Immortal stage, never daring to dream of reaching the Immortal King.

But now, they unexpectedly have the qualification to challenge the Immortal King Realm!

This was something beyond their wildest dreams, and all this was owing to the man guarding the River of Time.

Therefore, they no longer held grudges against that man; instead, they felt gratitude towards him.

.....

"Bone Emperor, so much time has passed, the mission from the Venerable Lord is probably too late now..."

Dark Emperor lamented.

"It's too late, the mission has essentially failed, we've let down the Venerable Lord's expectations."

"There's nothing to be done, we've done our best."

"However, as long as we strive to break through to the Immortal King Realm and support the main battlefield, it might make a greater impact."

Bone Emperor murmured.

"Indeed, it's unbelievable that we now have the hope to reach the Immortal King Realm, it truly feels like a dream."

Emperor Huan sighed.

"The opportunities on this continent have almost all been taken by us, remaining here will likely yield no further breakthroughs."

"Now that we've found the Wood of Time, it's time to set out on the River of Time once more."

Bone Emperor waved his hand grandly, and a large piece of Wood of Time appeared in his hand, which transformed into a large ship, two meters high and ten meters long, with just a thought.

"Have you all prepared the crossing fee for this time?"

Bone Emperor suddenly remembered something and asked the other three Emperors.
