56: Chapter 56 Have you not heard the saying, "Heaven never seals off all paths; as long as I want to move forward, the path is right beneath my feet"?

The Loose Cultivators, who had been filled with righteous indignation just moments ago, now had flushed faces and could no longer make a sound.

The sky-propping giant finger that had crushed the Three Immortals of Yunmeng seemed to remain before their eyes; no one dared to say another word.

On the other side, the five Elders of the three Holy Lands immediately straightened their backs.

Old Ghost Wanxue and Daoist Minggu exchanged a glance.

Perfected Purple Thunder, Lei Xuzi, and Heavenly Crone Ziyou all revealed smiles of mutual understanding.

Emperor Yun wouldn't interfere!

This was the greatest support for them!

"What are you all dazed for! Scram already!"

Old Ghost Wanxue's withered palm swung violently, spreading a mist of blood and gore that once again tightly sealed the entrance to the canyon.

With lightning swirling around his body, Perfected Purple Thunder roared, "Anyone who hasn't retreated within ten breaths shall be executed without mercy!"

With a Great Emperor backing them up, these five veteran Saints moved even faster to clear the area.

In the blink of an eye, the outskirts of the canyon were cleared, leaving only the flying ships of the major overlord forces.

On the wanbao treasure ship.

Su Xuner bit her lip and bowed to Lu Chen, "Revered Master, my father is on the Everlasting Su Family's flying ship nearby. My sister and I would like to go pay our respects."

Lu Chen waved his hand lazily. "Go on, and come back quickly."

A short while later, the Su Sisters were brought back, carried by a middle-aged man. This man was the head of the Everlasting Su Family, Su Wanshan.

As soon as Su Wanshan stepped onto the deck of the wanbao treasure ship, his majestic face was instantly covered in a fawning smile.

He walked briskly to Lu Chen's reclining chair and shouted, "Su Wanshan of the Everlasting Su Family pays respects to Lord Emperor Yun!"

Lu Chen didn't even lift his eyelids, merely giving a casual grunt in response.

Su Wanshan turned around and grabbed Su Xuner and Su Qiyue, reprimanding them with a stern face.

"You two girls, being able to serve by Lord Emperor Yun's side is a blessing you've earned over eight lifetimes! From now on, serve him with all your heart and soul, and try not to make the Lord angry!"

Su Xuner's face turned beet red as she protested in a low voice, "Father, how can you talk like that? We are Revered Master's Disciples!"

"What Disciples! A daughter sent away is like water splashed out!" Su Wanshan said righteously with a glare.

"Don't come running back home at every turn; it's embarrassing! From now on, the Yunxiao Holy Land is your home!"

After saying that, Su Wanshan switched back to a fawning smile and looked at Lu Chen.

"Lord Emperor Yun, my two daughters are young, ignorant, and disobedient. I'll have to trouble you to put in more effort to discipline them harshly! Any kind of discipline is fine; the Su Family will have no complaints!"

Su Qiyue's cheeks puffed out in anger, while Su Xuner lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone.

This father was completely beyond saving.

Looking at Su Wanshan's behavior, Lu Chen waved his hand. "Fine, leave the people here and go find somewhere else to stay cool."

"Understood! Please rest well, My Lord!"

Su Wanshan gave a grand salute cheerfully, turned around, and nimbly flew back to the Su Family camp, his back held straight and proud.

With this connection to Emperor Yun, the Everlasting Su Family would have more confidence when speaking in the Eastern Wasteland in the future.

After dismissing Su Wanshan, Lu Chen lay back down in his reclining chair.

Just then, a violent spatial fluctuation came from the depths of the canyon.

Seven-colored divine light soared into the sky, and dense ancient Life Qi fell across the sky along with green light particles.

The Azure Emperors Secret Realm was about to open.

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, looking at the Cultivators below who were rubbing their hands in anticipation of rushing in to make a fortune, a playful curl appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, a change occurred!

The originally calm seven-colored light gate shook violently, and a hazy phantom ten thousand feet high slowly emerged above the light gate.

The phantom wore a Green Imperial Robe and stepped on a Chaos Azure Lotus, radiating a heavy Emperors Might.

All the Cultivators present were pressed down by this aura, finding it hard to breathe.

Then, an ancient voice came from the phantom's mouth, echoing throughout heaven and earth.

"The Azure Emperors Secret Realm is open!"

"Those with a Bone Age exceeding five hundred years may not enter! Those who enter in violation shall die!"

As the final word 'die' fell, thunder erupted from the void, causing the blood and Qi of several Saint Elders to churn.

The entire scene instantly erupted in an uproar!

"What! A Bone Age restriction!"

"Five hundred years? How is that possible! Since when has the Azure Emperor's ancient Secret Realm had such a rule? It wasn't like this before! Previously, only Saint Secret Realms or Supreme Secret Realms had such rules!"

Old Ghost Wanxue, who had been ready to charge in and slaughter everyone, now stood dazed on the spot with his mouth wide open.

Old Ghost Wanxue had lived for nearly two thousand years. Five hundred years? That wasn't even the fraction of his age!

Daoist Minggu, Perfected Purple Thunder, Heavenly Crone Ziyou, and the others also had pale faces.

The five-hundred-year limit directly barred these veteran Saints and most Xiantai Realm experts from entering.

This was equivalent to directly cutting off their hopes of obtaining resources!

"What should we do?" Perfected Purple Thunder wrung his hands in anxiety.

Old Ghost Wanxue's eyes darted around, and he immediately looked at the wanbao treasure ship stationed at the outermost edge.

Old Ghost Wanxue gritted his teeth and, leading the other four Elders, hurriedly flew beneath the treasure ship and respectfully cupped his hands.

"Lord Emperor Yun!"

Old Ghost Wanxue adopted a very humble posture.

"The Secret Realm has suddenly imposed rules, and we old fogies are fated not to enter. The various prodigies of the Yunxiao Holy Land have young Bone Ages and should rightly take the lead! We are willing to clear the path and invite the prodigies of the Yunxiao Holy Land to go first!"

Since the old fellows couldn't get in, they naturally had to quickly curry favor with Emperor Yun. Perhaps if the Yunxiao Holy Land got the meat, they might be granted a few sips of soup.

If Emperor Yun wanted to enter and took action to break the Secret Realm's Laws, that would be even better!

In the distance, on the Jiang Family war chariot.

The trio from the Central Province also heard this rule.

Jiang Yifei was even happier; he was not yet a hundred years old this year, which perfectly fit the criteria.

Without those old monsters competing, wouldn't the opportunities in this Secret Realm be for the taking?

"Cousin Linger, Ziyi, this is a god-given Opportunity! Let's go in quickly and seize the initiative!"

As Jiang Yifei spoke, he prepared to drive the flying ship toward the entrance.

"Stop right there!"

The little girl Ji Linger grabbed Jiang Yifei, using her own weight to hold him back.

Her large, lively eyes stared at the distant wanbao treasure ship as she said infatuatedly.

"What's the rush! Senior Emperor Yun hasn't moved yet! We have to wait for his Senior self to go first. This is called etiquette!"

Nangong Ziyi also had her arms crossed, a trace of a blush on her cold and elegant face as she echoed, "Linger is right. With a Great Emperor present, how could you possibly cut in line? Stay put for me."

Jiang Yifei clenched his teeth and could only stop the flying ship in frustration, staring expectantly at the wanbao treasure ship.

At this time, on the deck of the wanbao treasure ship.

Xiao Yuzhu, the Elder leading the Yunxiao Holy Land team, frowned and sighed, "Ancestor Lu, my Bone Age has passed the limit. I'm afraid I won't be able to enter this Secret Realm. I'll just let Lin Bufan and Shen Mengyao follow you..."

Wei Hongyu also looked at Lu Chen with a resentful expression, fiddling with her abacus. "My old bones are also over the age limit. It seems this business deal can't be done. Lu Chen, you must grab more good things inside to pay me back when you come out."

Yun Qianyue also immediately clung to Lu Chen, her nine fox tails wrapping around his waist while she held his arm to her chest, swaying and acting spoiled as she said sweetly, "Revered Master, your Disciple Qianyue is also too old. Qianyue won't go either; Qianyue will stay on this ship to serve you."

Looking at these women, Lu Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Who says you can't enter?" Lu Chen slowly stood up and straightened his black robes.

Only Yan Lingji, standing to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled. Her voluptuous figure trembled slightly, and her mature voice was full of confidence. "If Revered Master says we can enter, then we naturally can. This reconstructed Physical Body of mine is barely a year old, so I'm certainly not afraid. As for the rest of you, with Revered Master here, what is there to fear?"

Lu Chen gave Yan Lingji an appreciative look, then his gaze swept across the entire scene.

Below, Old Ghost Wanxue kindly reminded him with a hint of suggestion, "Lord Emperor Yun! The rules of this Azure Emperors Secret Realm are no small matter; they are formed from the Great Emperor Law. Those who violate them may face mortal peril!!"

Lu Chen walked to the bow of the ship and looked down at the massive phantom of the Azure Emperor, finding it amusing.

"Bone Age restriction?"

"As a fellow Great Emperor, his rules cannot restrict me!"

Lu Chen placed one hand behind his back and pointed the other directly at the seven-colored light gate.

"Have you not heard that Heaven never cuts off all paths? If I want to enter, the path is beneath my feet!"

As the words fell, Lu Chen stomped his foot down hard.

Under the shocked gazes of the tens of thousands of people present.

Lu Chen didn't even activate any defenses, simply driving the wanbao treasure ship in a grand manner directly toward the Secret Realm entrance that carried the rule of certain death.

Boom!

The moment the treasure ship crashed into the light gate, the seemingly inviolable phantom of the Azure Emperor distorted for a moment, then actively opened a wide passage.

The golden treasure ship passed through without hindrance, instantly disappearing into the seven-colored divine light.

Leaving behind a group of old monsters outside the canyon staring at each other in bewilderment.

A Great Emperor really can do whatever they want.

Terrifyingly powerful! Even if a Great Emperor went to your house to have an affair with your Dao Companion, you wouldn't even know after they were finished!
