Chapter 1866: Chapter 883: The Ten-Year Deadline Has Arrived!

At this moment, heaven and earth were frozen in time.

Chen Yuan lifted his head, gazing at the vertical eye that appeared above the Nine Heavens, neither sad nor joyful, while the eye also looked at him with the same detachment, devoid of any emotion.

He knew what it was, the Heavenly Dao of this Boundary Domain, devoid of intellect, just and emotionless. Chen Yuan gathering the Qi Fortune of the Human Emperor was akin to seizing power from its grasp.

He had anticipated this scene long ago.

Below, a black torrent knelt in worship; above, it was a confrontation between man and heaven.

Chen Yuan didn’t know how strong the Heavenly Dao’s power was, but if the opponent refused to retreat, he wouldn’t hesitate to fight, to test if this so-called Heavenly Dao Power could suppress him.

The fortunes of the Great Yan Empire roiled on, the breeze stirring. In just a fleeting moment, it felt as if ages had passed, slipping away quickly. Ultimately, the Heavenly Dao retreated.

Perhaps out of apprehension, the vertical eye gathered above the Nine Heavens gradually dissolved, that intangible pressure also dissipating without a trace in this standoff.

Chen Yuan had achieved victory!

The moment the Heavenly Dao’s eye vanished, the empire’s Qi Fortune began quickly enveloping Chen Yuan. The black light gradually turned into a brilliant golden hue.

Illuminating Chen Yuan as if he were a reincarnated true god!

A more terrifying pressure spread from around him, Chen Yuan faced the heavens and earth with a calm gaze. At this moment, he owned this land, becoming the esteemed Human Emperor!

…

….

East Sea, Martial Emperor City.

Dozens of figures continuously engaged in a chaotic battle atop the high platform, Sword Light and Sword Qi fraying, various cultivation techniques and secret techniques displaying their moves, fists and palms clashed, reverberating sharply, causing the void to tremble.

Below the platform, countless spectators held their breath, concentrating intently, some cheering loudly with excitement, while others looked on with regret and disappointment in their eyes.

Meanwhile, on a rooftop outside the crowd, a few individuals were gathered there, watching the clash on the Ascending Immortal Platform with leisurely smiles, occasionally exchanging a few words, appearing unremarkable.

However, if an outsider saw this, they would undoubtedly be flabbergasted.

Because it was the long-absent Holy Martial Emperor, Human Emperor Chen Yuan, appearing in this place!

Since the end of the imperial grand ceremony several years ago, Chen Yuan had stopped concerning himself with court affairs, leaving them to the many ministers to discuss collectively. Only in matters where decisions could not be made would he be contacted.

During these years, Chen Yuan’s disappearance was in pursuance of finding ways to enhance his cultivation, making his breakthroughs more secure. He had tried during this time, but after realizing he couldn’t succeed, he gave up.

He began to journey through the Human World.

Because ordinary seclusion was of little use to him anymore, he had to seek other methods.

He traversed the Western Regions desert, crossed the Eastern Sea, went up the Beiman Snow Mountain, and ventured into the Southern Border mountains. He witnessed the collapse of snow mountains and desert storms, experiencing it all.

Firstly, to walk a thousand miles and deduce his path to breakthrough, and secondly, to see if he could find someone with Qi Fortune to take a shortcut and break through more smoothly.

Unfortunately, he found nothing.

It seemed as if everyone with Qi Fortune had already been slain by him; in any case, he couldn’t find someone destined, eventually having to abandon the search, returning to the Capital with Su Ziyue and Jiang He to watch this Immortal Battle.

Watching those young figures fight, a trace of disappointment flashed subtly in Chen Yuan’s eyes; he never entirely gave up seeking the child of Qi Fortune.

Looking now, even the most outstanding young martial artists in the Human World couldn’t possess Qi Fortune.

This made him wonder what Qi Fortune truly was.

Was it formed randomly?

Or… due to some other reason?

The world had an untold number of prodigies; how could they all have been completely killed?

“Is that your named disciple?” Dressed in white, the graceful Jiang He, with a slightly solemn look, asked while watching the most outstanding figure on the Ascending Immortal Platform.

“Yes, it’s him.”

“Haha, not bad, a talent becoming of a True Monarch!” Jiang He nodded, giving a high evaluation. A talent of a True Monarch is the highest praise for a young martial artist.

Because at the level of an immortal, each one was a supreme prodigy of their era.

Years ago, Shi Yi had already reached the Reach Profound Peak, occupying the top spot on the Hidden Dragon List. In fact, he could have broken through earlier but had lofty ambitions, aiming to follow in the footsteps of the Holy Martial Emperor.

So, he continued to suppress his strength, intending to win the first place in the Immortal Battle; otherwise, he would have formed a True Pill and become a Grandmaster long ago.

“He’s alright, I suppose.”

Chen Yuan shook his head, casually giving an evaluation, then, with a faint smile on his face, picked up a little girl with twin ponytails beside him, saying:

“Xue’er has exceptionally good aptitude.”

“Hey, what are you doing…” The little girl in Chen Yuan’s arms pushed his face away with a pouty, proud expression. If common people saw this scene,

they would be undoubtedly envious, as not everyone could be so close to the Emperor.

She was the daughter of Jiang He and Li Hongshuang, Jiang Xue, born into the Human World shortly after the imperial palace assembly, born with a strange phenomenon and auspicious signs on her birth.

Although it was May, the city was covered in snow. Chen Yuan especially returned to the Capital to name her Jiang Xue and bestowed upon her the title Princess of Peace, showing her immense affection.

Jiang Xue was very close to Chen Yuan and Su Ziyue, admired by countless nobles and aristocrats.

“Naturally.” Jiang He smiled faintly, proud of his daughter. With a natural Sword Heart and extraordinary talent, barring accidents, becoming a True Monarch was a certainty.𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
