Upon hearing this, Ye Chen furrowed his brows: "You are truly arrogant. The Emperor's daughter is the strongest Supreme, destined to be invincible at the same rank. Facing her alone is perilous; being able to return alive is quite impressive."

He somewhat blamed Will's self-confidence; facing the Emperor's daughter alone was extremely dangerous. Although he believed in Will's strength, the Emperor's daughter is just that—a daughter of the Emperor, possessing the most potent Emperor Bloodline Power, invincible at the same rank. Even Ye Chen would not dare claim inevitable victory.

Such Emperor's sons and daughters inherit the most powerful Supreme inheritance and Bloodline Power from their generation surpassing the invincible combat strength of the same rank, fearless of everything. Facing such beings, one should not go alone.

Will chuckled: "I understand your concern, but don't underestimate me too much. Anyway, I am also a Young Supreme, and I have enough backup means to leave before daring to engage. However, the strength of the Emperor's daughter from the Pill Emperor Clan indeed exceeded my expectations, truly, she could rival the Goddess even with several more layers of strength."

Ye Chen nodded; whether Emperor's son or daughter, they are the strongest Young Supremes at the same rank. Without a gap in realm, regardless of life or death, a battle would result in no clear advantage to either side. Even in a life-and-death battle, it depends on who has stronger backups.

After a moment of pause, Will's frivolous expression suddenly turned serious, which made Ye Chen somewhat uncomfortable.

Will raised his eyes, looking towards Ye Chen, rare seriousness in his demeanor: "Qian Yue, this time at the Pill Scripture, you must be careful—it won't be simple."

"Explain in detail?"

Seeing Will like this, Ye Chen's heart also sank slightly. Although the other was usually carefree, it was never careless with major matters. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Will said: "These past few days, I've been lurking in the Emperor Clan's Hall, and after overcoming numerous dangerous barriers I approached the Emperor's daughter's meditation site. However, there were often elder Great Powers from the Pill Emperor Clan present; I managed to gather some very important information. I suspect the ultimate purpose of this Pill Scripture is the grand scheme of the Pill Emperor Clan. I overheard some words claiming 'Nine Tripods Unite, Emperor Road Opens,' etc."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's expression suddenly changed dramatically.

At the same time, he took out the small Pill Ding obtained from the Void God Temple. This ding was exquisite and unique, capable of transmitting special information about alchemy and was the pivotal item that led a generation of Alchemy Masters from ordinary to pinnacle mastery.

Back then, the inheritance light cluster left by Master Qingye mentioned that this ding might be pointing towards the Pill Emperor Inheritance.

Initially, Ye Chen did not quite understand, but now hearing the information Will gathered from the Pill Emperor Clan—

Nine Tripods Unite, Emperor Road Opens!

The so-called nine tripods are likely referring to these nine tripods, or one of the nine tripods might just be the small Pill Ding in his hand.

Moreover, he recalled that the ultimate reward for being the champion of the Pill Scripture was part of the Pill Emperor Inheritance.

In an instant, it seemed as if many significant pieces of information surfaced all at once. Looking at it longitudinally, they all seemed to connect, yet there were still some discrepancies, always missing something.

Ye Chen couldn't help but ponder. He examined the small Pill Ding and then looked at Will, repeating the process for a long time, which made Will somewhat uneasy, but upon seeing Ye Chen's small Pill Ding, he immediately understood, exclaiming: "Could it be that the Pill Ding in Qian Yue's hand is one of the nine tripods?"

Ye Chen nodded: "If my guess is correct, it's very likely one of the nine tripods."

"Nine Tripods Unite, Emperor Road Opens. Could it be referring to gathering all nine Pill Dings, uniting them, and thus opening a true Emperor Supreme Road?" Will said.

"I suspect the primary aim of the Pill Scripture is not merely for the millennium participation of alchemists across the Ancient Universe, but a special grand strategy. If my guess is right, perhaps the Pill Emperor Clan's ultimate purpose is to gather all nine Pill Dings," Ye Chen gently spoke out a shocking hypothesis.

Exactly, if the guess is correct, it should be so.

Because, just like the small Pill Ding in Ye Chen's hand, it's not in the possession of the Pill Emperor Clan. On the contrary, it is scattered across the universe, with one obtained by Master Qingye, guiding him step by step onto the path of peak mastery, leading him to success and fame, directly claiming the small Pill Ding might point to the Pill Emperor Inheritance.

This isn't unfounded speculation; in fact, there's a genuine possibility of this.

The real aim of this Pill Scripture isn't for the millennium alchemy gathering, but more likely it's for the Pill Emperor Clan to gather the nine scattered Pill Dings throughout the universe, to unite them for some astonishingly grand plan.

The champion of the Pill Scripture points towards the Pill Emperor Inheritance, further illustrating the point; the Pill Emperor Clan is desperate to gather all nine tripods.

In past Pill Scriptures, although the champion reward was extremely generous, many Alchemy Masters and Alchemy Grandmasters simply didn't care and wouldn't participate in the alchemy, leaving uncertainty on whether they possess one of the nine tripods.

However, this time the reward is the Pill Emperor Inheritance, an irresistible temptation for all alchemists, wherein the nine tripods will inevitably surface, without the Pill Emperor Clan needing to search—they will automatically gather at the Pill Scripture, ready for the nine tripod plan.

Yes, precisely, this is Ye Chen's conjecture.

"Could this be the ultimate purpose of the Pill Scripture?" Ye Chen murmured softly to himself, even he found it hard to believe, and he focused more on what 'Emperor Road Opens' meant after the nine tripods were united.

Whether it leads to a Supreme path of the Emperor, or whether it signifies something else, the precise meaning remains unknown.

Naturally, at present, all is still not entirely known. Everything requires the actual event of the Pill Scripture to truly grasp the facts.

But regardless of saying anything, Ye Chen now understands some of the Pill Emperor Clan's conceiving plans, increasingly conscious of not revealing the small Pill Ding prematurely; otherwise, it would lead to enormous trouble.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of the few days left, Ye Chen constantly contemplated this small Pill Ding, during which various alchemy insights emerged. But ultimately, it didn't exceed the sixth rank, yet this improvement in Ye Chen's alchemy understanding was substantial.

In the end, he stored the small Pill Ding, isolating it entirely with Chaos Ancient Energy, placing it within the Reincarnation Six-layer Coffin, awaiting the commencement of the Pill Scripture.

Soon, Ye Chen arrived at the Pill Emperor Clan's residence for almost half a month. On this day, he opened his eyes and awakened from meditation.

Outside the Treasure Pavilion, outside Pill Heaven City, it was already bustling and lively.

The Pill Heaven City Gate opened, countless strong figures of the Pill Realm flooded from outside into Emperor City, everywhere was prosperous and lively, whether in the sky or on the ground, everywhere were figures, and even those beings with bodies as giant demons had to transform, adopting human form before appearing.

On this day, it was precisely the day of the Pill Scripture.
