"It's him, the Chaos Young Supreme Combat Saint King who traverses the Ultimate Ancient Road. He's here too!"

"He's indeed very strong, but this is an alchemy tournament, why has he come?"

Many were curious, they only knew Ye Chen had powerful cultivation, yet few truly knew that Ye Chen also had achievements in the alchemy skill.

Boom—

An Ancient Great Power directly descended before Ye Chen, not from the Emperor Clan's Great Power, but still an Ancient Great Power above the Fifth Layer Heaven, exuding a formidable oppressive force that would suffocate any ordinary Great Power.

Yet Ye Chen remained calm and unruffled, quietly observing the Great Power in front of him.

The Great Power's expression was still considered gentle, nodding towards Ye Chen, said: "Are you that Combat Saint King? Welcome to your arrival! However, this isn't the Ultimate Ancient Road, to go to Pill Heaven City for the Pill Scripture, you must have the proper invitation."

Ordinarily, visitors wouldn't trouble a Great Power to inquire personally, but Ye Chen, the Combat Saint King whose illustrious battle records shook the stars, was not to be taken lightly by the few Ancient Great Powers stationed here.

Moreover, this Great Power clearly sensed a distinctive bloody aura emanating from Ye Chen, though it had been somewhat faded, it was still noticeable, indicating that Ye Chen had recently undergone a bloody battle, and even slayed beings of the Great Power Realm, a remarkable strength not to be underestimated, leading him to regard Ye Chen more highly.

Ye Chen took out the invitation, and upon opening it, a Pill Ding soared into the sky, accompanied by wisps of pill fragrance wafting through the air, causing the Ancient Great Power to nod: "This is indeed a genuine invitation for the Pill Scripture, and it's a first-class invitation. I didn't expect the Saint King to also be an Alchemist, truly impressive."

However, he appeared unconcerned, for even the most genius alchemy masters facing the Pill Emperor Clan, which holds true Pill Emperor inheritance, seem insignificant.

This Great Power wasn't from the Pill Emperor Clan, but was an affiliate strong clan that also took pride in the Pill Emperor Clan.

Ye Chen was indifferent to this, acknowledging that the Pill Emperor Clan indeed had the right to be proud, as it was nearly the foremost in alchemy skill throughout the Chaos Sea.

Yet inwardly Ye Chen shook his head, pride is permissible, but one must not assume eternality, for in this world and heavens there are always higher heavens, stronger individuals beyond one's grasp, nothing can truly be deemed eternal.

Maybe during the Pill Scripture competition, an incredible alchemy master might emerge, or even a Pill God might appear, causing the Pill Emperor Clan to panic.

After all, such an unparalleled alchemist as a Pill God couldn't casually arise even from the Pill Emperor Clan, and perhaps might not exist at all.

"Combat Saint King, please follow the Emperor Clan members to the hall for a short rest, and wait for the Pill Realm gates to open."

An ancient city attendant came over, leading Ye Chen into one of the golden and splendid pavilions within the ancient city.

It had been prepared with exquisite, precious dishes and foods, and Dao Tea was offered, allowing Ye Chen to wait a while, as the Pill Realm gates would soon open.

Ye Chen nodded, savoring the delicacies and lightly tasting Dao Tea, meditating silently.

During this time, beams of light constantly descended from across the starry sky into this ancient city, more and more powerful figures arrived from various places, naturally including several true alchemy masters, whose purpose was undoubtedly to attend the grand, millennial Pill Scripture.

Any such alchemy master usually carried their pride, with their demeanor subtly exuding arrogance indicative of an alchemy master.

Yet, alchemy masters truly have the right to be proud, for pills hold an almost irresistible allure to many strong individuals.

The arrival of these alchemy masters attracted the attention of many in the ancient city.

Even Ye Chen saw that among these alchemy masters were many supreme youths from the Ultimate Ancient Road, clearly the exceptional figures from various Ancient Universes, with notable accomplishments in alchemy skill.

However, these alchemy masters almost invariably curbed their pride upon coming here.

Not only because there gathered too many alchemy masters here, practically all alchemy masters with any achievements in alchemy skill throughout the Ancient Universe had been invited, but they were also facing the first alchemist power of ancient times, the Emperor Clan of the Pill Emperor, the strongest alchemy force, which no alchemist could arrogantly confront.

Perhaps only Level 8 Alchemy Masters, Level 9 Alchemy Grandmasters, those highly accomplished in alchemy skill, could maintain some degree of pride upon arriving here.

"Master Guu Lan is here!"

With an exclamation, an elder clad in a Daoist robe descended from the sky, crane-haired yet boy-faced, with long white eyebrows and beard, exuding an aura of celestial elegance and dignity, subtly accompanied by an air of pride, a distinct pill fragrance emanating from his form, evidently a Master of Level 8 Alchemists.

Such an alchemy master is a top tier figure across any realm of the Ancient Universe, wielding extraordinary alchemy techniques, ensuring even the greatest powers greet with courtesy.

Even when encountering an Ancient Monarch, a nod of acknowledgment was given to show some respect.

"Master Guu Lan!"

The Ancient Great Power who received Ye Chen also personally stepped forward to host, whereby Master Guu Lan responded with a nod, his expression indifferent.
