Chapter 406: The Main Road

"So," Geshu Wenyue concluded, his tone heavy, "on this Ultimate Main Road we not only have to contend with the monsters of other worlds for that maddeningly overturning destiny, but we must also constantly guard against… the madmen of the Other Shore World and their ambushes, sieges, even cost‑free exterminations!"

"The Other Shore Beings are mostly twisted in temperament, act with ruthless cunning, and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Conspiracies and traps are merely everyday fare. They regard slaughtering the Nine Heavens Ten Lands' living beings as an honor, even as a form of purification."

He looked at Ye Wuque and solemnly warned, "In short, once you step onto the Ultimate Main Road, be extremely cautious. Especially you, Brother Ye… your Five Extremes realm, the Three Great Saint Method Origins, are too dazzling; if the Other Shore learns of them, you will inevitably become one of their primary hunting targets!"

Ye Wuque nodded, his gaze calm, showing no fear, only a chilling sharpness: "I understand. When troops come, I block; when water comes, I cover with earth. If they dare come, I will cut them down."

The tranquil words nonetheless contained unparalleled confidence and decisive lethality.

Seeing this, Geshu Wenyue said no more; he knew Ye Wuque was far from reckless.

He changed the subject and began to brief Ye Wuque on the more concrete details of the Ultimate Main Road, as such information sharing is expected among companions.

"As far as I know, this Ultimate Main Road is vast and towering, almost endless. The most widespread saying is that it contains… one hundred and eight gates," Geshu Wenyue said, pointing his hand toward the lighthouse‑like source of stable law aura deep within the Star Sea.

"Each gate is not merely a simple node or portal, but a… critically important, specially marked and solidified Ten Thousand Ancient Star Domain by the Ancient Path laws! Its sheer size, the stability of its laws, and the abundance of opportunities far exceed any branch area we have previously traversed."

His tone carried yearning and gravity: "One could say each gate is an independent, boundlessly possible… great world!"

"These one hundred and eight gates are arranged sequentially along the Ultimate Main Road; the farther back you go, the fewer the checkpoints, but each gate's area grows larger, its laws become more profound, the opportunities it contains more terrifying, and correspondingly the danger escalates geometrically."

"As for what exactly lies within each gate?" Geshu Wenyue's eyes glittered, "That is the very reason countless Heavenly Pride have surged forward, even willingly risking death!"

"Ancient tombs and dojo ruins left by Immortal King‑level great beings; the supreme existences whose cultivation surpasses Immortality and who have entered the legendary Origin Dao Realm titan domains, leaving behind fragmented Dao Rule insights, even incomplete inheritances; mysterious Dongfus and shattered relics from the Ancient Era, and even from the far older Primordial Era; mysterious ancient halls of unknown material and unknown function, swept in by the mysterious Time‑Space Turbulence from the Unknowable Land…"

With each item he mentioned, Ye Wuque's eyes brightened a notch.

Any one of these, if spread, would be enough to stir a storm of blood and carnage across the Zhutian Wanjie!

Geshu Wenyue inhaled deeply and uttered an even more staggering statement: "Even… there are ancient rumors that in the deepest parts of some extremely later gates, there may exist… a Ten Thousand‑Era titan of the Supreme Realm, whose post‑ascension remains… the Origin Dao Fruit!"

Supreme Realm!

That is the legendary realm that truly stands at the absolute peak of the Zhutian Wanjie!

It surpasses the Origin Dao Realm, wielding part of the universe's primordial authority, its words command law, and ten thousand Dao resonate!

The Origin Dao Fruit it left contains its life's ultimate insight into the Great Way and a portion of primordial power; its value is incalculable!

"Of course, that's merely rumor, ethereal and vague, but it suffices to illustrate the layers of the Ultimate Main Road."

Geshu Wenyue said.

"This is the most central, most refined area of the entire Star Sky Ancient Road! Countless great powers—including my Blade Ancestor Dao Court, the Great Thousand Divine Universe behind you, the Ye Clan, as well as the various imperial families of the Nine Heavens Ten Lands, the Supreme Great Sect, the Undying Aristocratic Family, the Ancient Imperial Dynasty, the Ten Fierce Beings, the major overlords of the Other Shore World, the ancient Dao traditions of the Xuanhuang World and Honghuang World…—all will focus their gaze here, closely monitoring their own descendants' performance and gains."

He added, "Moreover, on the Ultimate Main Road, it's not only us outsiders undergoing trials. There also exist a great number of… native forces."

"Native forces?" Ye Wuque raised an eyebrow.

"Indeed," Geshu Wenyue nodded, "the ancestors of these native forces may have been stranded on the Star Sky Ancient Road in extremely ancient times for various reasons, and their cultivator descendants took root and multiplied here. After countless generations of evolution, they have long adapted to the Ancient Path environment, even developing unique civilizations and cultivation systems. Among them are some exceedingly powerful factions that control portions of certain gates, even possessing ancient foundations. They, too, have produced many dazzling monsters that should not be underestimated. Relations with them may be cooperative or competitive, requiring flexible response."

Ye Wuque listened to Geshu Wenyue's description, his heart surging with waves.

One hundred and eight gates, endless Star Domains, Immortal King tombs, titan inheritances, Ancient Dongfus, mysterious ancient halls, Supreme Dao Fruit rumors, native forces…

All these intertwine to form a grand world of such magnificent turbulence, where danger and opportunity coexist!

"This truly is… a supreme gathering that converges the Zhutian Wanjie!"

Ye Wuque sincerely sighed, his blood's warlike factor and his yearning to explore the unknown and scale the summit were fully ignited.

He was filled with unprecedented anticipation for that Ultimate Main Road!

Geshu Wenyue, seeing the fighting spirit flare in Ye Wuque's eyes, also gave a knowing smile.

He pointed toward the increasingly clear lighthouse direction deep within the Star Sea:

"Let's go, Brother Ye! Ahead, beyond this Star Sea's most unstable turbulence zone lies the… first gate of the Ultimate Main Road's one hundred and eight gates!"

"Its name… First Frost Gate!"

The two said no more, exchanged nods, and their auras rose simultaneously.

Ye Wuque's black robe fluttered, chaos qi swirling around him, faintly shielded by the Dao Rhythm of the Three Great Saint Method Origins.

Geshu Wenyue's blade intent was restrained, yet his posture stood straight as a spear, his sharp gaze locked onto a relatively calm yet still dangerous path in the Star Sea ahead.

"Go!"

With a low shout, the two figures turned into swift lightning, no longer lingering around the star's periphery, but charging headlong into that vast, wave‑filled yet murderous… Xu Wu Xing Hai depths!

Their target, straight toward that convergence of Zhutian storms that will launch an endless legend…

The Ultimate Main Road's first gate, First Frost Gate!
