"I will find you."

Ye Chen whispered softly, then turned to leave, striding out of the starry sky, he took a step forward, the stars shifted swiftly, and soon he directly entered the eighteenth pass.

Boom—

There's no doubt that Ye Chen's appearance attracted unknown attention, causing a stir in the entire ancient city of the eighteenth pass.

Because everything that happened during this period made Ye Chen mythologized, drawing worldwide attention, becoming a seed-level figure with hopes of achieving the position of the ultimate ancient road dominator.

Moreover, almost everyone believed that as long as Ye Chen didn't encounter any accidents, he would surely become that kind of existence, not to be underestimated.

The Sun God's Son, Shengtian, and other undying young supremes, now looked at Ye Chen with added awe in their eyes.

Even though they are young supremes, they all understand that the gap between them is already insurmountable. The other is destined to become the strongest existence on the ancient road, young supremes need to look up and cannot measure up. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Ye Chen's appearance quickly caught the attention of the guardian powers in this pass, and several other guardian powers of the ultimate ancient road appeared, waiting specially for Ye Chen's return.

"Sorry for keeping you seniors waiting." Ye Chen clasped his fists and apologized to Jiuhuang Great Power and other guardian powers, but this made these guardian powers view Ye Chen in a different light.

If someone else reached Ye Chen's level, they would have looked down on others by now, and wouldn't be so agreeable.

"The young friend is modest." The guardian powers naturally didn't put on airs.

"I wonder why seniors summoned me?" Ye Chen asked directly.

"Young friend, we feel your cultivation is already strong enough and not suitable for the first thirty passes, so we hope to send you directly to the thirty-first pass. What is your opinion..." Their meaning was clear, Ye Chen's current cultivation was too powerful, even though he was only at the Heavenly King Peak level, his actual combat power far exceeded that realm, capable of killing ordinary great powers.

Basically, the first thirty passes were not suitable for a supreme existence like Ye Chen to stay in, otherwise his prolonged presence would have a horrible impact on other ancient road testers, subtly affecting their Dao Heart in their quest to compete.

One's dominance over all trialists, merely achieving one, is not what the ultimate ancient road aims to achieve.

This is also why the ultimate ancient road dominator can't return easily. The guardian powers of the ancient road don't want the appearance of such an inverse existence, influencing the rise of heavenly prides from various ancient universes.

"I see." Ye Chen nodded, "But are others treated the same way?"

Hearing this, Jiuhuang Great Power and several guardians smiled bitterly: "Of course not, only ancient road testers with enough monstrous strength are selected to directly cross many trial ancient passes and sent deeper. Ordinary ancient road testers, even young supremes, don't have this privilege."

Undoubtedly, such a choice is extremely limited, without enough monstrous strength one cannot be selected.

Even general young supremes can't achieve this.

"Although I understand the difficulties seniors face, isn't this somewhat unfair to me?" Ye Chen smiled lightly, with his cultivation, he could effortlessly sweep through the first thirty passes, racing through each trial ancient pass, competing for most of the precious cultivation resources.

One could say, in the first thirty passes on the ultimate ancient road, Ye Chen is an invincible existence, god blocks kill god, Buddha blocks kill Buddha, except for those at the Emperor-level supreme genius, otherwise, he is unstoppable.

However, now because of his unparalleled strength and monstrosity, these guardian powers have no choice but to come forward, want him to cross so many trial ancient passes and directly send him to the thirty-first pass.

For the ultimate ancient road, a form of balance is indeed necessary, but for him, it's somewhat unfair.

After all, no matter what, he is an ancient road tester.

Jiuhuang Great Power and a group of guardian powers exchanged glances, somewhat helplessly and bitterly smiled. Jiuhuang Great Power spoke: "Young friend, don't worry, regarding this matter, the ultimate ancient road has discussed and will give you appropriate compensation."

"Oh?" Ye Chen showed slight surprise, looked at the Jiuhuang Great Power and others with interest, wanting to know what compensation that would be.

Jiuhuang Great Power opened an alternate space, where a pile of treasures, shining brightly, glittered with starlight, and took out a treasure chest, handing it over.

Ye Chen glanced at the guardian powers, feeling a bit strange, were these guardians trying to dismiss him with this?

"Young friend, just open and see." Jiuhuang Great Power smiled lightly, his tone full of unique confidence.

Ye Chen accepted it, and opened it for a look, but to his surprise, there wasn't any dazzling radiant light emanating, the brocade box only contained an invitation, lying quietly within, its special Dao Pattern clearly visible.

But on the invitation, shockingly appeared a tripod cauldron with three legs and two ears, faintly visible, lifelike, and accompanied by a faint fragrance.

This wasn't the scent of flowers, nor a woman's fragrance, but a special aroma that shook Ye Chen, bringing a solemn look to his face, and cautiously used his thumb and index finger to pick up the invitation and open it.

Boom—

In the blink of an eye, a vast world hit him, with myriad phenomena, astonishing all.

However, all this quickly dissipated, replaced by the simple tripod cauldron with three legs and two ears, metamorphosed, accompanied by stars, wrapped like an ancient starry sky land, the unique aroma more clearly intensified, enveloping him, instantly filling the air with fragrance.

"This is—Pill Fragrance!?"

Ye Chen's eyes burst forth with radiant light, quickly recognizing the ancient cauldron was accompanied by the Pill Fragrance, the scent of pills.

Moreover, what's more important is the stars manifested outside the ancient cauldron, in truth, they were one by one pills, in seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, radiating unique glow, accompanied by various exotic medicinal aromas.

These medicinal aromas now even transformed into shapes, with heavenly dragons, immortal phoenixes, rocs, Qiongqi, Zhu Yan... one after another Chaos Holy Spirit, appearing and winding around everywhere.

"Pill Scripture!"

As the cauldron appeared, in amidst came an indistinct sound echoing through the divine palace, thundering in the ears.
