10: Emperor Hengyu joins the group

Afterward!

Xiao Xun'er found Xiao Yan.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you..." The young girl looked at the youth before her, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Xun'er, do you want to ask me about the source of my power?" Xiao Yan smiled slightly.

Xun'er nodded and said worriedly, "That power is very strong, but it doesn't belong to Dou Qi. Brother Xiao Yan, did you encounter some kind of fortuitous Opportunity? Could there be hidden dangers with power from an unknown Origin?"

Xiao Yan shook his head, his eyes flashing with an unprecedented light. "Xun'er, rest assured. The path I am walking is a grand path to the heavens that no predecessor has ever taken! The Dou Qi Continent is too small. My future lies in the vast sea of stars!"

Seeing the confidence and pride in Xiao Yan's eyes, Xun'er fell silent. She knew that her Brother Xiao Yan was truly different now. However, out of concern, she still quietly sent a message back to her clan.

"Old Ling, please help me investigate exactly what has happened to Brother Xiao Yan..."

As for Xiao Yan, after seeing Xun'er off, his gaze fell upon the simple black ring on his finger.

"The Group Master said my Opportunity lies within this ring... An extraordinary Soul?" he muttered to himself, his eyes erupting with sharp light... On the other side, in the Holy City of the Northern Region of the Eastern Wasteland.

Ye Fan was reshaping his sacred body in the Dragon Transformation Pool, and his four extremities Secret Realm had completely stabilized. He felt the golden Divine Power surging through his limbs and bones, ten times stronger than before, his heart filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.

He had repelled all covetous enemies, protected God King Jiang Taixu, and carved out a path of survival for himself.

When he dragged his still-weak body out of the Dragon Transformation Pool, he saw the Black Emperor cursing at a stone, its dog face full of the satisfaction of successful revenge.

"Dead dog, have you gone mad?" Ye Fan frowned.

The Black Emperor glanced at him sideways with its dog eyes and said sarcastically, "This Emperor isn't mad. I was just bitten by an ignorant little puppy, and I'm feeling irritable!"

Ye Fan didn't bother with it; he felt something was wrong with his body. Although he had successfully made a Breakthrough into the four extremities, the circulation of the sacred blood in his body seemed to be bound by some invisible shackle, far from being as smooth as he had imagined.

He found Jiang Taixu, who was currently meditating, and respectfully asked for guidance.

After examining his body, Jiang Taixu sighed. "Though you have broken the curse of heaven and earth, the brand of the 'Ancient Desolate without Great Emperors' rule has not completely disappeared. Instead, it has turned into a deeper shackle hidden within your Ancient Desolate Sacred Body's Origin. Your future path will still be a hundred times more difficult than that of ordinary people."

Hearing this, Ye Fan's heart sank... Meanwhile, in the Shrouding the Heavens Universe, at the Mount Qin Immortal Transformation Pool.

Sitting cross-legged by the pool, Group Master Wushi Great Emperor slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was as deep as the Universe, as if eternal ages were flowing and being born and destroyed within them.

He had been in secluded cultivation.

For him, it was merely consolidating his Realm after he Attain the Dao, a flick of a finger. But in the outside world, a hundred years had already passed.

Of course, this hundred-year time flow only applied to his main world. For the other members of the Myriad Worlds Chat Group, perhaps only a month or two had passed.

With a thought, his consciousness sank into the Chat Group.

Having not checked for a hundred years, the information in the group had long since exceeded 999+.

He browsed through it quickly.

【Xiao Yan】: "Hahaha! The Sea of Bitterness has opened, and the Life Spring's divine light is brilliant! Thank you Group Master for bestowing the technique! @All Members, how is your progress?" (Attached is a screenshot of a golden Sea of Bitterness)

【Han Li】: "(Silently lurking)... The Sea of Bitterness is formed, but the Life Spring's Divine Power is weak. It seems it will take some time and effort."

【Luo Feng】: "This cultivation method is amazing! My Mental Energy combined with 'Divine Power' has increased in power greatly! I've also successfully opened the Sea of Bitterness!"

【Zhang Xiaofan】: "I... I seem to have opened the Sea of Bitterness and triggered the True Qi of the Taiji Xuanqing Path at the same time... They don't seem to conflict in my body..."

Seeing the group members reporting their successes one by one, a gratified smile appeared on Group Master Wushi Great Emperor's face. These people were indeed the children of Luck of their respective worlds; they had all entered the threshold of the Shrouding the Heavens law so quickly.

His gaze fell upon the new member who had joined the group.

【Ye Fan】: "Seniors, why... why do I feel nothing when I draw 'Source' into my body? That Sea of Bitterness simply cannot be opened; all the energy has vanished like a stone in the ocean..."

【Black Emperor】: "@Ye Fan, Trash! You're just a piece of Trash! I told you, the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body is a waste Physique! Accept your fate! Hurry over and become this Emperor's human pet, that's your only way out!"

Looking at Ye Fan's plea for help and the Black Emperor's mockery, Group Master Wushi Great Emperor smiled indifferently.

He naturally knew the reason. At this point in time, Ye Fan was on Earth during the Dharma-Ending Era, where the essence of heaven and earth was depleted and the Dao was not apparent. More importantly, as an Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, he was already cursed by heaven and earth, making the difficulty of opening the Sea of Bitterness thousands of times harder than for ordinary people.

【Group Master Wushi Great Emperor】: "@Ye Fan, no need to be anxious. It's not that you cannot cultivate, but that your Opportunity has not yet arrived."

As soon as the Group Master appeared, the entire group went silent.

Seeing Group Master Wushi Great Emperor's words, Ye Fan felt as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

【Ye Fan】: "I beg Your Majesty the Human Emperor to show me the way!"

【Group Master Wushi Great Emperor】: "You possess the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, which was originally the strongest Physique of the Human Race. However, due to changes in heaven and earth, the cultivation path for this Physique has become incomparably difficult. On Earth, you cannot step onto the path of cultivation. But your Opportunity will come very soon."

【Group Master Wushi Great Emperor】: "Soon, atop Mount Tai, the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin will descend from the sky. That is an ancient path leading to the other side of the stars. Board it, and it will take you to an ancient planet of life called 'Beidou'. That is the true starting point of your magnificent life."

Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin! Ancient Starry Path! Beidou!

These terms were like claps of thunder exploding in Ye Fan's mind, leaving him completely stunned.

Group Master Wushi Great Emperor said no more, stopping at the right point.

However, just then, his brow suddenly twitched, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.

He felt streams of weak but incredibly pure and strange energy feeding back into his body from the worlds of Xiao Yan, Han Li, Luo Feng, and the others through the medium of the Chat Group!

This energy merged into his Emperor's body. Although it was just a drop in the ocean compared to his Emperor Realm cultivation which was as vast as the Universe, it... truly caused his power to increase by an imperceptible sliver!

"The increase in the group members' cultivation can actually be fed back to me ten-thousand-fold?!"

Even with Group Master Wushi Great Emperor's state of mind, a massive wave was stirred at this moment!

He had already Attained the Dao and become an Emperor, standing at the absolute peak of the Human Domain, with the path ahead cut off. He had thought his future path was to live nine lives in reverse to fight into the Immortal Realm. He never expected this late-coming Golden Finger would actually open a brand new door for him leading to an even higher Realm!

As long as there were enough group members and they were strong enough, his cultivation could grow infinitely! Even... surpassing the Great Emperor!

While he was in shock, the Chat Group interface suddenly shifted, radiating a brilliant divine light.

【Ding! Detected that the Group Master's cultivation has increased and the overall strength of group members has increased. The Chat Group is beginning to upgrade...】

【Upgrade complete! New function unlocked: World Teleportation (One-way/Two-way)!】

【Upgrade complete! Group member limit increased!】

Looking at the newly unlocked functions, the corner of Group Master Wushi Great Emperor's mouth slowly curled up.

Teleportation function... Now, this is getting more interesting.

And just then, a new notification sounded.

【Ding! "Hengyu" requests to join the group.】
