468: Chapter 468 The Heavenly Emperor (33)

Deep within the Ye Family, an ancient hall cast entirely from divine metal floated quietly amidst a sea of Chaos.

This was the core treasury of the Ye Family, the Dao Seed Treasury.

At this moment, Ye Yun stood at the very center of the treasury.

Surrounding him were hundreds of light orbs woven from Great Dao runes.

Within each light orb, a dao seed was sealed.

These dao seeds varied in form and possessed powerful auras; any one of them appearing in the outside world would be enough to trigger a struggle between countless Orthodoxies.

Several Great Emperor Ancient Ancestors of the Ye Family accompanied him in the form of Divine Thought Incarnations.

“Yun'er, look at this one.”

The Fifth Ancestor pointed at one of the light orbs, his voice filled with pride.

“This is the ‘Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Dao Seed,’ found by chance in an ancient thunder marsh by a Ye Family ancestor who excelled in thunder arts. If perfectly refined, your future Dao Fruit could reach at least five thousand zhang. If it aligns with the attributes of the Sacred Body in your body, seven thousand zhang is not impossible.”

Another Ancient Ancestor also smiled as he introduced a dao seed beside him.

“And this ‘Indestructible Golden Body Dao Seed’ is a pure Body Cultivator dao seed, a perfect match for your Desolate Ancient Sacred Body. Once refined, it will not be difficult for your Physical Body to become an emperor in the future.”

They introduced the top-tier dao seeds in the treasury one by one, each representing a broad road leading to the Great Emperor realm.

This reflected the Ye Family's unreserved importance and expectations for this junior with the posture of a heavenly emperor.

However, as Ye Yun listened to these introductions and scanned those top-tier dao seeds, not a hint of joy could be seen in his eyes; they even carried a trace of disappointment.

To ordinary Prodigies, these dao seeds might be supreme treasures.

But to him, they all felt a bit lacking.

His Foundation was too robust—three complete Great Daos and a Perfection Desolate Ancient Sacred Body destined his future path to be something these conventional top-tier dao seeds could never carry.

Forcing a refinement would only waste his powerful Foundation for nothing.

“What is it, Yun'er? Do none of them catch your eye?”

The Fifth Ancestor noticed Ye Yun's indifferent reaction and couldn't help but feel a bit amused and helpless.

Any one of these dao seeds would be enough to make external Emperor Clans green with envy, yet in this child's eyes, they seemed like ordinary objects.

This vision and ambition were truly...

For a moment, the Fifth Ancestor couldn't find the right words to describe it.

Ye Yun did not answer. His gaze passed through the dazzling array of light orbs and landed at the deepest part of the treasury, the most central position.

At that moment, the third Saint Eye at his brow throbbed violently.

A strong sense of resonance originating from his Bloodline and Divine Soul came from that direction.

Ye Yun's mind was instantly captivated.

Ignoring the top-tier dao seeds around him, he walked straight toward the deepest part of the treasury.

Finally, he stopped before a stone platform that looked unremarkable and was even somewhat covered in dust.

On the stone platform, there were no phenomena and no dao rhyme.

Only a fist-sized grey stone bead, looking no different from a common rock by the roadside, lay there quietly.

“Ancient Ancestor.”

Ye Yun reached out, pointing at the stone bead, and asked calmly.

“What is the Origin of this object?”

The several Ancient Ancestors followed his finger and were all taken aback.

Immediately, complex expressions appeared on their faces—reminiscence, regret, and a hint of helplessness.

“Yun'er, your eyes are indeed sharp.”

The Fifth Ancestor sighed and slowly revealed the truth about this stone bead.

“This object is not a stone bead.”

“It was transformed from a ‘Heavenly Eye’ left behind by our ancestor who created our glory, the true ‘Heavenly Emperor.’”

The Remnant Eye of the Heavenly Emperor!

Ye Yun's heart jolted. He finally understood why the Heavenly Eye at his brow resonated so strongly with it.

They shared the same root and Origin.

The Fifth Ancestor's voice continued, but with a trace of deep regret.

“Unfortunately, after endless ages, this object has long lost its divinity. The Origin and dao rhyme within it have completely dried up; it is now no different from an ordinary stone.”

“It cannot serve as a dao seed, nor can it bring you any power. The Family placed it here merely to commemorate the First Ancestor and leave behind a memento.”

“Yun'er, you should choose something else.”

The other Ancient Ancestors also nodded, advising Ye Yun not to waste time on this “useless stone.”

However, Ye Yun shook his head.

His intuition and the resonance of his Heavenly Eye told him that things were definitely not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

“Ancient Ancestor, may I sense it more carefully?”

He made a request.

“Very well.”

Seeing his persistence, the Fifth Ancestor didn't say more, treating it as the curiosity of a child toward a relic of the First Ancestor.

The Divine Thought Incarnations of the Ancient Ancestors stepped back slightly, leaving enough space for Ye Yun.

Ye Yun took a deep breath and stepped forward.

He reached out and gently held the cold “stone bead” in his palm.

The moment he held the stone bead, he closed his eyes, pretending to sense it carefully.

But in secret, he quietly activated another trump card he had never shown to anyone.

Heart Heavy Pupils!

He applied the power of the Heart Heavy Pupils unreservedly to the Heavenly Eye at his brow.

At this moment, the two ocular techniques perfectly overlapped.

Buzz!

Ye Yun's vision changed instantly.

The grey stone bead in his palm, which looked unremarkable, had all its disguises stripped away layer by layer.

He saw the interior of the stone bead.

It was not a place of dead silence.

At the very core of the stone bead, a golden light point condensed from pure Heavenly Dao Laws flickered weakly.

Though the light point was dim, as if it could go out at any moment, it radiated a powerful aura.

This was the true Origin core of the Remnant Eye of the Heavenly Emperor.

It had not completely died; it had merely fallen into a deep slumber.

Ye Yun continued his deep probe and finally discovered the true reason for its slumber.

“So that's how it is...”

The moment he saw the truth, Ye Yun felt wild joy in his heart.

To activate this sleeping “Remnant Eye of the Heavenly Emperor” and restore its divinity, two extremely harsh conditions had to be met simultaneously.

First, it required a massive and pure amount of “Blood Qi power” to re-nourish its dried-up Origin.

Second, it required a junior Bloodline who also possessed a “Heavenly Eye” to use their own Heavenly Eye power as a catalyst to reawaken its will.

Either of these two conditions would be enough to make any Emperor Clan in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces shrink back.

But now, they were perfectly unified in Ye Yun's body.

He possessed the flawless Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, and the golden Blood Qi in his body was a pure life Origin, enough to satisfy the first condition.

And the mutated third Saint Eye at his brow was a “Heavenly Eye” from the same root as the First Ancestor, fitting the second condition.

It was as if all of this had been tailor-made for him by fate.

He was the one who could awaken this Remnant Eye of the Heavenly Emperor!
