Ye Hao's determination! If the road ahead is blocked, I will fight my way out!

"He... he severed it?!"

Hearing this, Sikong Yang was completely stunned!

Regarding the legends of the Overlord Emperor Jun, he did indeed know some from that Secret Realm back then,

but most were about that Emperor Lord sweeping through the Eight Desolations and his glorious record of an invincible Physical Body.

As for such past events involving the secrets of prove the dao, he had never heard of them!

"Crazy... simply crazy..."

Sikong Yang muttered to himself.

"That was a Tai Cang Overlord Body at Major Achievement! It is one of the top Physiques in this world!"

"He just... severed it himself?"

This was like a tycoon with wealth rivaling a nation, in order to pursue the ethereal Immortal Dao,

not only giving away all his family fortune but even severing his own arms, just to seek that slim chance of survival!

Is this really something a human can do?

"My god... there was actually such a secret?!"

On the side, Gu Zhiyun was even more shocked, covering her small mouth, her beautiful eyes full of shock.

"Overlord Emperor Jun was too ruthless!"

"What is the concept of a Hegemon Body at Major Achievement? That is a terrifying existence that can almost display combat power comparable to a Great Emperor!"

"In an era where no new Emperor is born, possessing a Tai Cang Overlord Body at Major Achievement could be said to be an Uncrowned King, no different from a true Great Emperor, right?"

"To possess such power yet choose to self-sever..."

Gu Zhiyun felt her head buzzing.

What's the difference between this and giving up everything?

Just what kind of terrifying courage could support the Overlord Emperor Jun in making such a choice that almost destroyed his own future?

"Simply unbelievable..."

Li Fan frowned deeply, falling into deep thought.

He constantly asked himself in his heart.

"If it were me, having reached Major Achievement in the Dao of the Sword, as long as I didn't encounter a Great Emperor, I would be invincible in the world."

"For that final step, would I have the courage to break the sword in my hand, discard my entire cultivation, and start over from the beginning?"

Li Fan fell silent.

He found... that he couldn't come up with an answer.

Or rather, at this moment, he didn't yet have the courage to make such a life-from-death decision!

"Tsk, you guys don't understand."

Seeing everyone's frightened expressions, Elder Jian shook his head and said slowly:

"The reason Overlord Emperor Jun did this was largely related to the special era he lived in."

"It is said that in that Golden Age, the stars were brilliant, and many Prodigies rose together."

"Besides him, there were three other peerless Prodigies in the world similar to him, each with an invincible posture!"

"Even..."

Elder Jian's voice lowered a bit.

"Above them, there was a true Great Emperor weighing down on their heads!"

"How could a person as proud as Overlord Emperor Jun be willing to be suppressed by someone else? How could he be willing to stop at the so-called 'challenging the Great Emperor' level?"

"Therefore, unwilling to be a mere foil, he resolutely chose that path with only a slim chance of survival!"

"He severed his own Hegemon Body Origin, severed all paths of retreat, just to exchange for that nearly non-existent chance to Attain the Dao!"

Speaking to this point, Elder Jian's tone was full of admiration.

"And the result... he won the gamble!"

"He reached the Ultimate Sublimation, not only reconstructing his Physical Body but also breaking the curse and prove the dao in a Heaven-Defying manner!"

"In one fell swoop, he became a pillar of the Body Cultivator path; even among all the Great Emperors throughout history, he is a top-tier existence!"

A long-buried secret was told eloquently by Elder Jian, making everyone's hearts surge with excitement and blood boil.

This is the true heart of a powerhouse!

"So... after saying all that."

"Does Old Grandfather mean that whether this Physique can actually become an Emperor doesn't depend on the Physique itself, but on the person?"

Lin Xiyue suddenly spoke at this moment, her eyes shining as she looked at Elder Jian.

She keenly noticed that while Elder Jian was telling this past story, his gaze would always drift toward Ye Hao intentionally or unintentionally.

Clearly.

These words weren't just for sharing secret lore.

They were meant for Ye Hao, to guide this young man who had just learned his Physique was flawed!

"Correct."

Elder Jian gave Lin Xiyue an appreciative look, then turned around to look directly at Ye Hao with a solemn expression.

"The Tai Cang Overlord Body is indeed flawed and cannot directly become an Emperor."

"But that doesn't mean a person with this Physique is destined to never reach the peak!"

"Overlord Emperor Jun is the best example!"

"A path is forged by people; there is never an absolute dead end."

At this point, Elder Jian's gaze became incredibly sharp, as if he wanted to see through Ye Hao's heart.

"Kid, after hearing the story of Overlord Emperor Jun,"

"what are your thoughts?"

"Me... me?"

Being suddenly called out by Elder Jian, Ye Hao, who was already in a daze, was stunned on the spot.

To be honest, his mind was currently a mess.

What Cangxuan Great Realm? What Overlord Emperor Jun? What Golden Age?"

To a native Blue Star University Student like him, these terms were like a heavenly book, completely confusing.

He really wanted to ask which province the Cangxuan Great Realm was in.

He also really wanted to ask if that Overlord Emperor Jun had also gone to university.

But seeing that the big shots had no intention of explaining separately, he could only swallow his words and didn't dare to interrupt.

However... even if he didn't understand those background settings, he understood the core meaning of Elder Jian's words!

That is—Physique cannot decide everything!

It's all about human effort!

Ye Hao took a deep breath. His originally wavering and lost eyes gradually became clear, and then a flame ignited.

He raised his head, met Elder Jian's gaze, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Senior Jian, I have understood the specific situation!"

"To be honest, I never thought I might have a special Physique before, and such a powerful one at that."

"However, since the heavens have given me this luck and this Opportunity,"

"then I will definitely make good use of it! I will never fail this talent!"

Ye Hao clenched his fists, his voice becoming more and more firm.

"As for the claim that this Physique is flawed and cannot Attain the Dao and become an Emperor..."

"Heh..."

He suddenly laughed, a laugh carrying the sharp edge of a newborn calf that does not fear the tiger.

"Maybe saying this now makes me sound boastful or even ignorant of the world's vastness."

"But I still want to say..."

"The path is beneath my feet. If it's blocked, I'll use my fists to smash through it!"

"If the path ahead is truly cut off in the future, then I will learn from that Senior and carve out a path myself!"

"What that Overlord Emperor Jun could do, I, Ye Hao, might not be inferior to him!"

"In this, I have confidence!"

His words were powerful and resonant, echoing throughout the office.

Looking at the young man before them, who, despite his low cultivation, was full of high spirits,

everyone present couldn't help but be moved.

"Hahaha! Good kid!"

Elder Jian laughed heartily toward the sky, his eyes full of praise.

"It's exactly this attitude I want!"

"As the saying goes, the path is fixed, but people are flexible!"

"As long as you dare to think and dare to do, you will have the chance to achieve the impossible!"

"If you don't even have this much spirit, then why cultivate immortality? You might as well go home and farm!"

At this point, Elder Jian's tone shifted again, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

"Moreover..."

"Your luck is much better than that of the Overlord Emperor Jun back then."

"Since there is already a Path-breaker like the Overlord Emperor Jun before you,"

"in reality, your future path is no longer that difficult to walk..."

"Hmm?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned again.

No longer difficult to walk?

What does that mean?"
