Outside the Five Grand Dynasties of the Xuanzhen Continent, in a vast desert.
A sacred door had opened!
According to the legends, the Profound Saint Realm that only opened once every 50,000 years had appeared before everyone's eyes!
The Profound Saint Realm had always been something that everyone on the Xuanzhen Continent yearned for.
It was said that there was an even bigger world outside the Five Grand Dynasties.
The Profound Saint Realm was on the Xuanzhen Continent, but the only way to reach it was through the Emperor Road.
The Emperor Road opened every 50,000 years, and those who passed it could reach the Profound Saint Realm.
It was rumored that the Profound Saint Realm had the chance to become a Profound Emperor.
It was very difficult to become a Profound Emperor in the Five Grand Dynasties.
The Profound Emperors of the Five Grand Dynasties had suffered for countless years.
There were even experts at the peak of the Ninth Level of the Profound King Realm whose cultivation had stagnated for more than 100,000 years, unable to break through to the Profound Emperor Realm.
Becoming a Profound Emperor was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Sometimes, it was not because one was not talented enough.
It was because there were limited cultivation resources and providence in this world.
To become a Profound Emperor, one needed to absorb an endless amount of providence and countless resources.
The Five Grand Dynasties could not provide such terrifying resources.
In fact, there was only one Profound Emperor in the Five Grand Dynasties.
There were many experts at the peak of the Ninth Level of the Profound King Realm.
It was very difficult to break through to the Half-Step Profound Emperor Realm, let alone the Profound Emperor Realm.
The opening of the Profound Saint Realm gave the experts of the Five Grand Dynasties hope.
As long as they could pass the Emperor Road and reach the Profound Saint Realm, their future would be infinitely bright!
However, the Emperor Road had not officially opened, and only the tip of the iceberg had appeared.
It would take another 10,000 years for the Emperor Road to truly open!
This meant that the people of the Five Grand Dynasties on the Xuanzhen Continent still had 10,000 years to prepare.
The news that the Emperor Road was about to open spread across the Xuanzhen Continent.
All kinds of hidden clans and races emerged from the shadows.
On the Xuanzhen Continent, the forces on the surface were the Five Grand Dynasties.
In fact, there were many more hidden forces outside the Five Grand Dynasties.
There was news from the Blood Dynasty that the Eternal Blood Tribe experts had appeared.
The Eternal Blood Tribe was a race that had truly survived from the ancient times.
There were also prodigies from the Dragon Tribe that had begun to appear on the Xuanzhen Continent.
The Dragon Tribe experts found people to train and defeated many prodigies.
In the west, in the vast forest, the Elf Tribe emerged.
The legendary Elf Clan had always been hidden in the endless forest.
The elves lived in seclusion for a long time and basically did not show their faces.
However, the Emperor's Road of the Profound Saint Realm was about to open.
Even the elves, who had been living in seclusion, came out.
A prodigy of the Elf Tribe had appeared out of nowhere and defeated a peerless powerhouse of the Blood Tribe!
The elegant and long-lived Elf Tribe had become the target of many prodigies.
The female elves, in particular, were loved and pursued by many men.
In addition to that, the Sacred Race also appeared.
The Sacred Clan claimed to be a clan left behind by a Profound Saint. Their ancestor was a Profound Saint.
However, it was unknown whether this statement was accurate or not.
The characteristics of the Saint Clan were similar to that of humans, but they had a pair of sacred wings.
The bodies of the Sacred Ones were filled with a holy aura.
However, the Sacred Clan was different from the Holy Light Empire's martial artists.
The people of the Holy Light Empire only cultivated secret skills of the light attribute.
Saint race powerhouses were born with a divine aura. In particular, their wings were synonymous with divinity.
The Sacred Clan and the Holy Light Empire were close.
After the Sacred Clan emerged, they had provoked Ye Qing's Sword Empire several times.
However, Ye Qing's Azure Thearch Army had also responded to the Sacred Clan.
The Darkdemon Butterfly had taken action and killed two of the Sacred Clan's peerless prodigies, causing the Sacred Clan to not dare to show themselves for the time being.
All in all, the Xuanzhen Continent's thousands of races had risen and created a golden age.
Compared to the situation of the five empires, the current Xuanzhen Continent was much more exciting and exciting.
The Blood Empire and Holy Light Empire, which had been eager to fight, gradually quieted down.
They did not launch an attack on the Sword Empire.
The Blood Empire and Holy Light Empire must be preparing for the Emperor's Road to the Profound Saint Realm.
If a war broke out at this juncture, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Ye Qing's progress in building the Azure Thearch Army did not stop.
Under Ye Qing's command, the Azure Thearch Army's strength continued to increase. There were still close to ten thousand years left, which was enough to build it into a top force on the Xuanzhen Continent.
In fact, the remaining ten thousand years were not as simple as ten thousand years for Ye Qing!
After all, Ye Qing had regained control of the Eternal Pagoda and had close to a million years to cultivate.
After distributing the various resources, Ye Qing began to cultivate in seclusion.
Ye Qing had to make a trip to the Emperor's Road to the Emperor's Road.
There was still no news of his son, Ye Ben.
In theory, Ye Ben should be on the Xuanzhen Continent.
However, he could not find him. The Azure Thearch Army had sent out all kinds of spies, but they could not find him.
Ye Qing guessed that his son was not in any of the empires, but in a secret place outside of the five empires.
He might be in the territory of the Elf Race, Sacred Clan, Eternal Blood Race, or in the Profound Saint Realm.
Although the Profound Saint Realm only opened once every fifty thousand years, there was no guarantee that a Profound Saint would come down and take Ye Ben as a disciple after seeing his talent.
Ye Qing had all kinds of guesses in his heart, but he did not know the specifics.
The Emperor's Road to the Profound Saint Realm was a grand event. Ye Qing would definitely go and join in the fun. He might even be able to pick up a few high-quality treasure chests. That would be great.
In the Time Realm of the second level of the Eternal Pagoda, Ye Qing began his long seclusion.
He sat cross-legged on a futon and absorbed Profound Qi into his body. He consumed all kinds of precious Rank Two Profound Pills, and the Profound Qi in his body gradually grew stronger.
With Ye Qing's current cultivation at the Profound Heaven Sixth Level, although his combat strength was very strong, there was still a lot of room for improvement.
After only three years of seclusion, Ye Qing's cultivation had broken through to the Profound Heaven Seventh Level.
His combat strength was even stronger.
Time passed, and in a trance, three thousand years had passed.
Three thousand years in the Time Realm was actually only thirty years in the outside world.
After reaching the Profound Heaven Seventh Level, Ye Qing's breakthrough speed was obviously much slower because the amount of Profound Qi required was extremely large.
One had to know that many peerless geniuses had cultivated for tens of thousands of years in the Profound Heaven Realm. Ye Qing's cultivation speed was considered extremely fast.
After three thousand years, Ye Qing had reached the peak of the Profound Heaven Seventh Level. The Profound Qi in his body, as well as the various Profound Arts and Secret Techniques, had matured and become one.
In terms of Sword Dao, Ye Qing's attainments had reached the peak, and his Sword Dao's charm had become even sharper.
The seclusion continued. On the five thousandth year, Ye Qing had broken through to the Profound Heaven Eighth Level.
On the thirteen thousandth year, he had broken through to the Profound Heaven Ninth Level!
He was not far from the Profound Monarch Realm.
The current Ye Qing, even without using the Eternal Blood Essence Stone, had the ability to fight a Profound Monarch Ninth Level.
As one's cultivation increased, the difficulty of subsequent breakthroughs would become greater.
If one wanted to break through to the Profound Monarch Realm, they would need the accumulation of time. It wasn't something that could be done just by taking pills, but their comprehension of the Dao had to increase by a level.
The Dao of Sword, the Dao of Fire, and the Dao of Reversal had to be improved. Otherwise, it wouldn't be considered a true Profound Monarch.
Profound Qi was king, and so was the comprehension of the Heavenly Dao!
