Chapter 1744: Chapter 1561: Sky-opening the Heavenly Pass!

The Heavenly Pass, the Heavenly Pass appears once more!

Ye Chen was shocked; never had he imagined that he would actually be able to behold an Immortal Heavenly Pass here as well.

All along, he had thought that the Immortal Heavenly Passes all lay within the Sealing Universe, for they were mostly seen in the Sealing Universe. Even the Immortal Heavenly Pass of the Primordial Immortal Realm was greatly connected to the Sealing Universe.

But now, at a glance, it was clearly not so.

Legend says heaven has nine Passes, each Pass different from the others.

Between heaven and earth there exist nine Immortal Heavenly Passes in total, yet for now, the vast majority have appeared within the Sealing Universe; one lies in the Primordial Immortal Realm, and another has now emerged in the Ancient Universe along the Ultimate Ancient Road.

Yet the emergence of an Immortal Heavenly Pass meant far too much; it left Ye Chen shocked and full of conjecture. Could it be that the so‑called Emperor Road Opening referred precisely to the Immortal Heavenly Pass? If so, it would be difficult to make sense of it.

At the very least, Ye Chen knew full well that an Immortal Heavenly Pass was hard to open. It had been established by Emperors and Sovereigns, or by Supreme Immortals themselves, and just like the Tenth Layer Emperor Pass, it was not built by a single Supreme alone. It required several, even the Strongest Emperors and Immortal Kings to personally make a move, wielding inconceivable might. Even bearing Supreme Emperor Weapons would be of no avail; the Immortal Heavenly Pass was hard to open.

It was merely that the rumored Nine Tripods Unite, Emperor Road Opening very likely referred precisely to the Immortal Heavenly Pass thereafter.

Gazing at the Immortal Heavenly Pass within the passage opened by the Nine Tripods, Dan Chen and the other Pill Emperor Clan powerhouses headed by him slowly exhaled, their faces also showing an indescribable excitement.

For after so much had been endured, the Nine Tripods had finally been gathered, and it had opened!

Especially the Emperor’s daughter; strands of immortal mist coiled about her entire body, her black hair drifting. Her whole person was suffused with an ethereal Daoist God charm, as if she were a Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman not belonging to this world, untouched by mortal dust. Yet in this moment, as she gazed from afar at the Immortal Heavenly Pass, she felt a particular excitement. The Supreme Bloodline Power within her surged and boiled, drawn and ignited to an astonishing degree.

Because from beyond that Immortal Heavenly Pass, she sensed a familiar Qi Mechanism, a Qi Mechanism of the same origin.

"Royal Father, could it be that you are on the other side of the Heavenly Pass?" The Emperor’s daughter’s eyes blurred with tears as she murmured in her heart.

The appearance of this majestic and extraordinary Immortal Heavenly Pass clearly left everyone present endlessly shaken. By no means could they have imagined that with the Nine Tripods emerging and the Emperor Map manifesting, they would in the end pierce through the Heavenly Dome and reveal such an unimaginably grand Heavenly Pass.

The Heavenly Stars and constellations all appeared so insignificant before this Pass.

One could also see just how extraordinary this Immortal Heavenly Pass was. It was crisscrossed and covered with innumerable battle scars; stars were inlaid upon it, immortal Ancient Weapons were thrust into its walls, and there was blood which, though having weathered the River of Time, had never faded, splashed upon it—recording the most brilliant war chronicles this Immortal Heavenly Pass had once possessed—now standing silently at the farthest edge of the sky.

"The Heavenly Pass, the Immortal Heavenly Pass that roams in transmission, has actually appeared!"

"Heaven has nine Passes, each Pass different. I did not expect to see an Immortal Heavenly Pass here!"

Those present were all Supreme Powerhouses standing at the apex of the Pyramid within this Ancient Universe; naturally, they had broad experience and understood many things about the Immortal Heavenly Pass.

Among them were several Ancient Monarchs, Supreme above all. With no Emperor present, the entire Ancient Universe belonged to their great era. They were versed in ancient and modern times; beams of their gaze shot forth with the most terrifying radiance as they stared at the Immortal Heavenly Pass.

Mighty as they were, having witnessed an uncountable passage of years, even they felt shock at this moment.

"Nine Tripods Unite, Emperor Road Opening, pointing from afar to the Heavenly Pass!"

"What sort of backhand did the Pill Emperor leave back then, that could cause the Nine Tripods to unite and open an Ancient Road leading to the Immortal Heavenly Pass?"

The several great Ancient Monarchs were all puzzled, thinking deeply. Yet Emperors and Sovereigns were the greatest existences between heaven and earth; they Transcending Time, able to accomplish what others could not. The backhands they left behind were surely matters that would shake past and present. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Now that the Nine Tripods Unite and point from afar to the Immortal Heavenly Pass, it must be the backhand laid down by the Pill Emperor.

The Ancient Monarch of the Yan Emperor Clan, Emperor Yan, was wreathed in Immortal Immortal Fire all over. He looked toward the Ancient Monarch of the Pill Emperor Clan and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, this is—"

He could not help but be grave, for the Nine Tripods Unite had already exceeded everyone’s expectations, and the Immortal Heavenly Pass even more so. The sudden change caused even an Ancient Monarch such as himself to harbor considerable misgivings.

The Pill Emperor Clan Monarch’s figure was indistinct and his Qi Mechanism Wushuang. At this moment he smiled faintly toward the other Ancient Monarchs and said, "Nine Tripods Unite, Emperor Road Opening—this is the imperial decree left behind by my ancestor, the Great Emperor. Now that the Nine Tripods have been gathered, as long as we open this Immortal Heavenly Pass, we may perhaps glimpse the hope of becoming an Emperor. Would my Fellow Daoists be willing to advance together?"

Hope of becoming an Emperor!?

At the mention of these words, even the several great Ancient Monarchs could not remain as calm as usual. That realm was the pursuit of their entire lives; how could they not yearn for it?

They were merely puzzled as to why the Pill Emperor Clan did not monopolize this hope of becoming an Emperor, but instead invited them, the several Ancient Monarchs, to join in. It did not quite accord with common sense.

As if knowing what lay in their hearts, the Pill Emperor Clan Monarch sighed softly and said, "The Heavenly Pass is hard to open. My Pill Emperor Clan does not dare boast that we can certainly open it; we need to borrow your strength to do so. Moreover, my clan yearns even more to pursue the traces of our ancestor, the Great Emperor. We suspect he still lives in this world, perhaps just beyond the Heavenly Pass. Thus we hope Fellow Daoists will lend my Pill Emperor Clan a hand!"

The several great Ancient Monarchs understood and immediately nodded their assent.

Only the Vice Hall Master of the Forbidden Soul Hall, Qin Jiuyou, in this moment stared at the Immortal Heavenly Pass, a ghostly light flickering in his eyes as he sneered inwardly: "So it is finally about to begin? Excellent, this fits perfectly with the grand design of my Forbidden Soul Hall!"

Crack—

In secret, Qin Jiuyou crushed a Jade Token; invisible Dao Runes dissipated.

The appearance of the Immortal Heavenly Pass completely disrupted the proceedings of the Pill Scripture grand event. All Alchemy ceased. Though the several Alchemy Grandmasters were somewhat annoyed, they too were drawn by this, faintly tinged with a trace of excitement.

For the Nine Tripods Unite, pointing from afar to the other side of the Immortal Heavenly Pass—perhaps it pointed directly to the Pill Emperor Inheritance!

Swish—

At this moment, the Ancient Monarch of the Pill Emperor Clan soared into the sky, plunging into the center of the Nine Tripods Emperor Map and taking control of it. His entire body shuddered, and with a thunderous boom, the Emperor Map suddenly flashed with the most dazzling radiance, illuminating ancient and modern!

Boom—

The Nine Tripods Emperor Map fully revived, Emperor’s Might supreme and unmatched sweeping across ancient and modern, incomparably mighty.

"Open the Heavenly Pass, let the Emperor Road appear!"

The Ancient Monarch of the Pill Emperor Clan bellowed, rushing straight into the heavens, wrapped in the flawless Nine Tripods Emperor Map, charging toward the Immortal Heavenly Pass at the farthest edge of the sky. Then he suddenly erupted with the most terrifying Supreme Emperor Might, bombarding the Immortal Heavenly Pass head‑on.

The vast Emperor’s Might pierced through ancient and modern, and even the River of Time was about to faintly manifest.

The Heavenly Gate of the Immortal Heavenly Pass was forcibly blasted open by a thin crack, revealing a glimpse within!
