Chapter 402: Stepping onto the Ultimate Main Road

At this moment, Geshu Wenyue's injuries have basically stabilized, having recovered to about seventy percent.

He had long finished his healing, standing silently beside him, and personally witnessed Ye Wuque's entire process of merging the Holy Law Origin and comprehending the Creation Force.

Seeing Ye Wuque rise at this moment, his eyes filled with even deeper respect; he solemnly clasped his hands to Ye Wuque and said sincerely:

"Congratulations, Brother Ye! Successfully merging the Creation Saint Method Origin, and further comprehending the Creation Force—such Supreme Great Power! Double blessings arrive, the Tiandao is within reach! Congratulations!"

Ye Wuque returned the salute, a faint smile on his face: "Thank you. Just luck."

Geshu Wenyue shook his head: "Brother Ye, you're being too modest. With the Five Extremes realm added, the Three Great Saint Method Origins gathered, and the Four Supreme Powers in hand… such luck—how many have ever achieved this throughout history?"

He paused briefly, looked at Ye Wuque, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes before turning into composure, and said: "Brother Ye, what are your plans next? Are you preparing to continue exploring the Nine Heavens branch paths, or… head to the Ultimate Main Road?"

A subtle, barely perceptible expectation lingered in his tone.

Ye Wuque gazed toward the exit of the secret realm, his eyes seeming to pierce through layers of Space, seeing the Star Sky Main Road that gathers countless monsters from the Zhutian Wanjie in a magnificent, turbulent expanse.

"The opportunities on the Nine Heavens branch paths, I have already secured the most essential parts. The remaining scattered chances hold little significance for me," Ye Wuque said slowly, "It's time to go see the true core place."

Geshu Wenyue's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "The Ultimate Main Road, where endless Heavenly Pride monsters from the Nine Heavens Ten Lands, Other Shore World, Xuanhuang World, Honghuang World, and even more mysterious ancient realms converge, truly a pinnacle stage for the younger generation of the Zhutian Wanjie! There, opportunities are countless, dangers are countless, the strong are like clouds, monsters abound…" His tone held both yearning and a hint of solemnity.

"I wonder… might I be fortunate enough to travel together with Brother Ye?" Geshu Wenyue finally voiced his thought, his eyes sincere with expectation, "Brother Ye has granted me the favor of doctrinal sparring and shown me higher vistas. Traveling with you would surely be immensely beneficial. Of course, should opportunities arise, you and I can still compete on our own merits, and I will never put Brother Ye in a difficult position."

His words both expressed a desire to join forces and made his stance clear—he would not abandon competition merely by traveling together, yet would never stab anyone in the back. This is Geshu Wenyue's pride and candor.

Ye Wuque looked at Geshu Wenyue, paused briefly, then smiled and nodded: "Of course you may."

He agreed readily. There were several reasons: First, senior Geshu Wuyou had indeed bestowed a debt of gratitude upon him, caring for his son—reasonable. Second, Geshu Wenyue himself was immensely powerful and of good temperament, a person worth befriending, potentially a reliable ally in the future. Third, Geshu Wenyue hailed from the Blade Ancestor Dao Court, a colossal force of the Peerless Sacred Realm; befriending its core heir would implicitly save many troubles and grant more secret information about the Star Sky Ancient Road and the Zhutian Wanjie. Fourth, Ye Wuque also admitted that although he was accustomed to traveling alone, the Ultimate Main Road's situation was complex, and having a counterpart of comparable strength to support each other and discuss the Tiandao was not a bad thing.

As for the former followers and War Generals… they have indeed fallen behind his pace, left behind to train and grow. That is the inevitability of growth, unrelated to sentiment.

Seeing Ye Wuque's agreement, Geshu Wenyue's face broke into a genuine smile, and he clasped his hands again: "Thank you, Brother Ye!"

The two exchanged a smile; the tension from the previous battle completely dissipated, replaced by a tacit mutual respect and a subtle alliance.

"No time to waste, shall we set off now?" Geshu Wenyue asked.

Ye Wuque nodded: "Alright."

The two no longer delayed; after a final glance at the scarred yet witness to the Holy Law Origin's selection of its master secret realm, they turned into two streaks of light—one black, one violet—and raced toward the exit.

Beyond the secret realm, the area at the end of the Nine Heavens branch paths.

Although most Heavenly Pride, having witnessed Ye Wuque's single-handed suppression of countless foes, had already departed—some to other branch paths, some straight to the Ultimate Main Road—there remained a few slower beings or those clinging to luck hoping to see the final outcome, lingering here and not venturing far.

When the secret realm's exit rippled with Space waves again, and the two figures emerged side by side, a considerable stir instantly arose.

"Look! Someone's coming out!"

"It's Ye Demon God! And… that terrifying knife‑wielding fellow!"

"They actually came out together? Is that secret realm over?"

"That unparalleled opportunity inside… who actually obtained it? Looking at them, it seems there's no life‑or‑death struggle?"

"No kidding! Look at Ye Demon God, calm and breezy, his bearing ever more unfathomable! That knife‑wielding guy's aura is a bit weak, yet he clearly shows respect to Ye Demon God! Need I ask?"

Hundreds of beings gathered at a distance murmured, their gazes toward Ye Wuque and Geshu Wenyue filled with awe, curiosity, and inquiry.

"Ye Demon God! Lord Goshu! The opportunity inside the secret realm…" a bold one couldn't help shouting, but before finishing, a companion quickly grabbed him, signaling him not to speak further.

Ye Wuque and Geshu Wenyue paid no heed to these discussions. To them, those lingering beings were no longer on the same level.

"Brother Ye, what do you say? Head straight to the Ultimate Main Road?" Geshu Wenyue looked at Ye Wuque and asked, "As far as I know, the entrance to the Ultimate Main Road lies just beyond the end of this Nine Heavens branch path—cross a stretch of the Void Star Sea, and you're there. That place is now bustling, gathering genuine monsters from all worlds, and even some Ancient Freaks that have been famed across the starry sky for countless ages, now awakened to clash there."

His tone carried a hint of solemnity and anticipation.

Ye Wuque's gaze turned toward the depths of the starry sky, where a more massive, chaotic yet infinitely potential‑filled aura subtly rippled. He nodded:

"I share the same intention. The opportunities on the Nine Heavens branch paths are, for me, almost completely harvested. It's time to go to the true gathering of storms, to meet the heroes of the Zhutian Wanjie."

Geshu Wenyue laughed: "Good! Then let's go! I've long wanted to meet those old opponents again! My blade path has improved a bit, perfect for testing my sword on them!"

The two exchanged a smile, no longer hesitating, chose a direction, and in a flash their forms became two brilliant streaks of light, tearing through the starry sky toward the legendary entrance of the Star Sky Ancient Road's core, most intense and most perilous— the Ultimate Main Road— and sped away!

Their speed was extreme; in the blink of an eye they vanished beyond the sight of the myriad beings.

Only after they departed did the distant chatter rise again.

"They're gone! Ye Demon God and that blade‑path master have headed to the Ultimate Main Road!"

"Just as expected! The Nine Heavens branch paths can no longer contain such true dragons!"

"The Ultimate Main Road… that's the real stage! It gathers the Nine Heavens Ten Lands, Other Shore World, Xuanhuang World, Honghuang World, and even some legendary ancient worlds long sealed, as well as the chaotic remnants' monster beings!"

"I've heard battles there overturn heaven and earth, stars shatter as a routine! Ancient relics, lost inheritances, defying‑heaven divine pills, immortal battle souls… appear endlessly!"

"Go, go, go! Let's hurry over and see! Even if we can't snag a great opportunity, witnessing the top monsters of the Zhutian Wanjie clash is worth the trip along the Star Sky Ancient Road!"

"Indeed! the Ultimate Main Road is the most alluring part of the Star Sky Ancient Road! I've heard even some veteran immortal beings have set their eyes there, watching their own descendants' performance!"

"Quick! Don't delay! If we're late, we might miss even the excitement!"

Countless beings could no longer restrain their yearning and curiosity, setting off—some alone, some in groups—transforming into streams of light, following the direction Ye Wuque and Geshu Wenyue had taken, surging toward the even more vast, mysterious, infinitely possible Ultimate Main Road.
