Supreme Alchemist-Chapter 1491 - 1481: Deciding to Go (Part 1)_1

Upon hearing Long Yan’s words, both the Evil Emperor and the Mad Emperor froze with a stone-like expression, and their faces twitched fiercely. Looking at Long Yan’s serious face, they both broke into a wry smile.

"You, Kid...Why do you always bring up the most uncomfortable topics?"

The Evil Emperor cast Long Yan a glare before saying, "We both indeed ventured into the mixed time and space and attempted to climb the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder, but... Alas, I’m not afraid of you mocking us, Kid. We couldn’t even pass through the area covered by divine power, let alone have a chance to climb the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder."

The Evil Emperor didn’t mention that he and the Mad Emperor had barely traveled less than twenty meters in the area covered by divine power, all to maintain the last shred of their dignity.

"Indeed, the area covered by divine power is very dangerous, the closer to the depths, the denser the divine power."

Long Yan nodded slightly, if it weren’t for the protection of the Nine Suns Laws, even he couldn’t withstand the terrifying divine power.

The Evil Emperor and the Mad Emperor merely stood at the peak of the Emperor Realm, they had not yet stepped into the rank of the Supreme Emperor. Merely being able to travel some distance in the area covered by divine power was already quite impressive.

"I heard you killed Teng Yunlong of the Luo Jade Island, is that true?"

The Mad Emperor quickly changed the topic, fearing that if probed further by Long Yan, both he and the Evil Emperor might expose their vulnerabilities.

"More or less."

Long Yan responded with a faint smile, saying, "Teng Yunlong was very strong, and I nearly died at his hands. If he hadn’t been so negligent, I wouldn’t have been able to kill him."

If it were not for the time reversal technique of the Heavenly Dragon Talisman, he would definitely have died in Teng Yunlong’s hands.

In retrospect, his ability to kill Teng Yunlong had a lot to do with luck. If Teng Yunlong hadn’t been negligent, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to infiltrate Teng Yunlong’s body with the Returning to the Origin Fury. Without it, he wouldn’t have been able to severely injure Teng Yunlong, let alone kill him.

Even if he had deployed all his combat power and used all his skills to kill an Immortal Emperor Realm entity, it still would have been somewhat unrealistic.

Long Yan was acutely aware of this.

"You, Kid, you never fail to surprise us with your words. You are at the True Self Emperor Stage while Yunlong was in the Immortal Emperor Realm. There is a huge gap of four stages. And Teng Yunlong had the True Dragon’s Horn, even an ordinary Immortal Emperor Realm entity wouldn’t be a match for him. Despite all this, he still died at your hands, what more do you want?"

The Evil Emperor glared at Long Yan, his heart filled with awe and disbelief.

How long has it been since Long Yan came to the Sealed Gods Ancient Road, and yet his strength is already among the top contenders of the Ancient Road. This rate of cultivation growth made both the Evil Emperor and the Mad Emperor quite self-conscious.

A new generation is replacing the old, it’s no longer their era, they were already too old.

Long Yan laughed but made no attempt to refute, then said: "Two Seniors, I have a question. Do you know of any method to return to the Emperor Domain?"

Currently, the most important thing was to return to the Emperor Domain and resolve the Qilin Blood Curse within Bai Ling.

"There’s no way."

Without giving it a second thought, the Evil Emperor said, "For ten thousand years, the Sealed Gods Ancient Road has been a living tomb. Various forces have tried all kinds of methods but none could break this shackle. It’s simply impossible to return to the Emperor Domain."

Pausing slightly, the Evil Emperor continued, "However, there’s a rumor that gathering the Order of the Holy Fire could unlock the secret left by the Saint Heaven Sect. It might then be possible to break the shackles of the Sealed Gods Ancient Road."

Nevertheless, this was just a rumor, nobody had absolute certainty. For ten thousand years, the Order of the Holy Fire was not assembled, thus no one had a chance to validate the truth of this rumor.

"Gathering the Order of the Holy Fire, easier said than done."

The moment Long Yan heard this, he lost his motivation, a bit frustrated.

When he had arrived at the Sealed Gods Ancient Road, he also learned about this rumor from the White Bone Young Lord. Although he had two pieces of the Order of the Holy Fire, getting the remaining eleven pieces was practically impossible.

Even if he had the strength, it was still uncertain whether the remaining eleven pieces of the Order of the Holy Fire were all on the Sealed Gods Ancient Road.

"Kid, you have the Order of the Holy Fire. There’s an opportunity now."

The Mad Emperor looked at Long Yan and said.

"What opportunity?"

Long Yan immediately asked.

"Three days ago, we received the news that the Order of the Holy Fire will gather at the Lingmang Plateau half a month from now to unravel the ten-thousand-year-old mystery."

The Mad Emperor explained.

By now, this news was nearly known throughout the entire Sealed Gods Ancient Road. The Evil Emperor and the Mad Emperor understandably knew of it.

"Gather the Order of the Holy Fire."

Hearing that, Long Yan’s brows furrowed in thought.

Suofeng, the Ghost Emperor, was also taken aback, his facial expression changed.

The secret left by the Saint Heaven Sect was the biggest mystery of the entire imperial domain. Gathering the Order of the Holy Fire was no small matter.

"Who spread this information?"

Long Yan inquired.

Because of the Order of the Holy Fire, he was virtually the enemy of the entire Sealed Gods Ancient Road. Having this experience, he must be very cautious. If it were a trap, he would not walk into it willingly.

Seeing Long Yan so alert and not easily swayed by the news, a flash of admiration showed in the eyes of both the Evil Emperor and the Mad Emperor.

Immediately, the Mad Emperor elaborated.

"Don’t worry, this news is about to blanket the whole Sealed Gods Ancient Road, and all the major forces will certainly learn of it and they are sure to be present. Looking across the entire Sealed Gods Ancient Road, there is no single force capable of outsmarting all other forces. Therefore, this is surely not a trap to snatch the Order of the Holy Fire, but an opportunity."

The secret of the Saint Heaven Sect is a prime target coveted by all major forces. It’s easy to imagine that every force vying for the Lingmang Plateau would be ready for anything. Even if it is a trap, absolute strength will inevitably break it. Certainly, the person who sends out the message will consider this and will not do silly things.

"That does make sense."

Upon hearing this, Long Yan nodded slightly, feeling reassured once all major forces would be present.

"This indeed is an opportunity. Regardless of whether the secret of the Saint Heaven Sect can break the chains of the Sealed Gods Ancient Road or not, I want to give it a try."

After weighing his options, Long Yan decided to head for the Lingmang Plateau.

First, he was keen on learning what was left behind by the Saint Heaven Sect.

What was the reason behind the Saint Heaven Sect’s overnight annihilation while it used to dominate the Southern Wasteland Continent and roam the Emperor Domain? And what brought about the Saint Heaven Sect’s rapid rise? These questions might only be answered after the Order of the Holy Fire is gathered.

Secondly, the secret of the Saint Heaven Sect—as rumored—could break the shackles of the Sealed Gods Ancient Road, making it worth a try.

"We’ll join you."

The Evil Emperor and the Mad Emperor were also longing for the secret left by the Saint Heaven Sect. Since Long Yan had decided to go to the Lingmang Plateau, they planned to go with him.

"Okay, in a few days, we will head to the Lingmang Plateau together."

With twelve days left for the half-month period, it was pointless to go to the Lingmang Plateau right now.

Once the time limit of half a month was up, all the major forces would gather at the Lingmang Plateau. It would certainly be a peak gathering of the Sealed Gods Ancient Road, an event unprecedented in ten thousand years.
