I am who I am, an extraordinary flame!

This sentence seems somewhat unbelievable coming from Ye Tianchen’s mouth, especially in such an atmosphere. Speaking a phrase from Earth’s secular world feels a bit ridiculous, but indeed, it is a sentence that Ye Tianchen really likes. He heard it by chance while listening to songs, and at this moment, it’s perfectly suitable to express his emotions!

The more you know, the more questions you have, and the more you want to know. Ye Tianchen is like this now. He has learned many secrets about Earth, and more and more legends about this Martial Arts World. He really wants to verify these things and deeply explore the stories buried in the years. They are not meaningless. It is very worthwhile to know them, and he might even gain things through cultivation that he couldn’t obtain in a lifetime.

Ye Tianchen has already solidified his ideas and beliefs in his heart. Even if this Emperor Realm elder from the Golden Crow Clan sees a glimpse of his future, he doesn’t know when or what kind of evolution Earth will undergo. Ye Tianchen will attain the Dao and become an emperor on Earth, then head to the starry sky, battling with the prodigies of the Martial Arts World and warriors from the Ancient Alien Race, Demon Clan, and Human Clan — countless strong individuals — until there’s a fiercely passionate battle, a Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, a sky-darkening earth-shattering fight to seize the sole quota to enter the Immortal Domain. Ye Tianchen will act according to his own thoughts, refusing to be bound by the laws of this world, for he has deeply felt that the rules of this Martial Arts World are detestable!

As for what the Emperor Realm elder from the Golden Crow Clan said — whether the glimpse of his future is real or not, Ye Tianchen doesn’t know. Therefore, he can only act according to his thoughts, regardless of knowing potential happenings; he will not follow such determinism. He himself is his own person; no one and no law can change or control him.

What shocked Ye Tianchen was that he unexpectedly would reach the Emperor Realm, and attain the Dao as emperor on Earth, which he hadn’t anticipated. He doesn’t know what will happen in the future, but when the day comes, he will face it with composure, aiming for the top, refusing to be inferior to anyone.

”Indeed, acting not according to determinism; at your age, with such cultivation and bravery, it’s rare in the world. Taoist, I have something to say, and I wonder if you want to hear it...” The Golden Crow Clan’s Emperor Realm elder glanced at Ye Tianchen and asked with a hint of meaning.

”Senior, please guide me; I will listen attentively!” Ye Tianchen seriously nodded and said.

”The Golden Crow Clan is born living atop the Sun Star, devouring the Divine Fire there for sustenance. Our clan’s true origin may even be unknown to our Ancestor. The Divine Fire on the Sun Star is very dominant and fierce; consuming it leads to major temperament changes. Most of the Golden Crow Clan cannot handle the fire’s demonic nature, turning extremely vicious and uncontrollable. This is why our clan became ruthless over time.” The Emperor Realm elder from the Golden Crow Clan looked at Ye Tianchen and said.

”Senior means... the Golden Crow Clan wasn’t originally ruthless, killing indiscriminately?” Ye Tianchen asked.

”Every species has good and bad, just like humans with good and bad people. In ancient times, the Buddhist Emperor Realm monks exterminated the Golden Crow Clan — I witnessed it. I exchanged palm strikes and conversed with him. Thus, the Ancestor’s Nirvana Rebirth eggs were sealed here. I can’t say about other members, but in our era and the Ancestor’s, although the Golden Crow Clan was strong and dominant, they wouldn’t kill indiscriminately.” The Emperor Realm elder from the Golden Crow Clan said seriously.

Ye Tianchen nodded, not thinking the Emperor Realm elder would deceive him, especially since they lack any reason to do so. If the Golden Crow Clan were truly ruthless as claimed, how could Ye Tianchen still be alive? It seems the elder wanted him to understand the truth and mend grievances between the Golden Crow Clan and Human Clan.

”Thank you, senior, for your guidance!” Ye Tianchen was stunned for a moment and said.

”The enmity between the Golden Crow Clan and Buddhist Sect, and even with the Human Clan could be traced back from Ancient Times. At that time, humans were weak, oppressed, and enslaved frequently dying tragically. I merely want to tell you that not everything is true; the Golden Crow Clan doesn’t wish to be enemies with humans. It’s not about courage, but a realization that we’re all ants under this Martial Arts World...” The Emperor Realm elder from the Golden Crow Clan shook his head and said.

Ye Tianchen pondered for a moment, seemingly understanding the elder’s intention behind those words. He earnestly said: ”Thanks to you, senior. I am not one to easily believe in anything; I trust my judgment, my eyes, and my intuition. If, when the egg hatches, it intends to destroy the Buddhist Sect and annihilate humans, I will not stand by. Regardless of whether I can stop it or not, I will fight to the death. If it doesn’t, I won’t rekindle the grievances between humans and the Golden Crow Clan.”

”It’s good that you understand, Taoist friend. Everything will have its result when the day arrives. Go now...”

After the Golden Crow Clan’s Emperor Realm elder spoke, Ye Tianchen felt a flash of fire in his mind. Upon opening his eyes, he realized he returned from that mystical realm. His Divine Sense was freed and returned to his body. He was still floating on Sealing Demon Cliff’s mid-hillside, with the Golden Crow Clan’s egg right before him. The egg was unimaginably strong, being the Ancestor’s Nirvana Rebirth. What scene would it be on the day it hatches? Ye Tianchen didn’t know, nor could he calculate it, but he knew what must be done now: seal the egg, sealing it for a hundred thousand years, giving himself and humanity that time. If when the egg hatches, it truly seeks vengeance against the Golden Crow Clan, Buddhist Sect, and humans, he hopes there’ll be a prodigy from humanity capable of contesting it, averting a devastating disaster for the Buddhist Sect and humans!

”Master Ye, are you... are you alright?” Master Fang Yi asked in surprise upon seeing Ye Tianchen suddenly open his eyes.

”I’m fine; I just learned some things. Master, please step aside; I need to begin the Eighteen Golden Arhat Array!” Ye Tianchen said with a slight smile.

Master Fang Yi glanced at Ye Tianchen, moving aside with his eyes full of doubt, not knowing what Ye Tianchen learned or how he pulled himself back from that state. Such a disconnect between one’s Divine Sense and physical body can nearly cause a martial artist’s complete annihilation.

Ye Tianchen looked at the egg floating on the mid-hillside of Sealing Demon Cliff, frowning. The one who struck with the Buddhist Emperor Realm monk back then wasn’t the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor inside this egg; the protective rune on the egg was created by the Golden Crow Clan’s Emperor Realm elder. It’s unimaginable how powerful the Ancestor might be to make the monk give up on crushing it; instead, chanting Buddha names to seal it here. The Ancestor, capable of Nirvana Rebirth, emerging after billions of years, already demonstrates a remarkable means. Even top Emperor Realm figures perhaps fare far less in terms of such capabilities and Divine Skills.

”No matter what, no matter how powerful you are, as long as you aim to destroy the Buddhist Sect and humanity, I will fight you to the death!” Ye Tianchen regained his focus, saying seriously and determinedly.

After speaking, Ye Tianchen began performing the sealing skill to activate the Eighteen Golden Arhat Array. Though he received such inheritance and knows how to set up one of the strongest formations in the Buddhist Sect, it remains challenging. The most difficult part of the Eighteen Golden Arhat Array is to condense eighteen Buddhist monks with one’s Martial Arts True Power. By standing at eighteen different positions, each performs their technique to activate the array, requiring the caster not only to expend large amounts of Martial Arts True Power but also simultaneously control eighteen True Qi-condensed monks to strike collectively. Achieving it smoothly with Ye Tianchen’s current level, remains arduous, far from easy.

”Eighteen Golden Arhat Array!”

Ye Tianchen shouted softly, activating the technique recorded in the Yijin Jing, motivating the Martial Arts True Power within. Unfortunately, when the eighteen golden arhats manifested, they dissipated before lasting a quarter hour. Ye Tianchen was already pale, having consumed substantial Martial Arts True Qi to condense them, let alone sustaining it for the strongest Buddhist sect formation. Could Ye Tianchen be unable to succeed? Is there no other way, beyond watching the Golden Crow egg hatch, failing to seal it for another hundred thousand years? (To be continued.
