The Southern Barbarian Palace is one of the ten major sects, with a deep foundation and even a Saint residing within it, its power cannot be said to be anything but formidable.

Ye Lingtian is the Grand Elder of the Other Shore, serving as a significant authority within the Southern Barbarian Palace!

After the Heavenly Emperor emerged, the Nine Great Powers issued Bounty Orders, and it seemed that Ye Lingtian was coveting the divine treasure. He not only sent out countless disciples of the Southern Barbarian Palace but even had his father dispatch disciples to search for it!

This kind of grand effort made Cao Xuerou somewhat suspicious, because it simply wasn't worth it, and moreover...

"Haha!" Ye Lingtian suddenly burst into laughter, looking at Cao Xuerou.

This woman seems gentle as water, perfectly in tune with her husband, but is actually smarter than anyone. She knows all about his affairs but pretends to be unaware. Her sudden probing question now is definitely full of profound meaning!

"Husband, what are you laughing at?" Cao Xuerou cooed teasingly.

"I'm laughing because you're too clever!" Ye Lingtian continued laughing. "However, this is a man's matter, you shouldn't interfere!"

"Oh." Cao Xuerou obediently agreed.

Ye Lingtian sat on the high seat of the sacred temple, his gaze looking beyond the great hall, seemingly able to penetrate billions of mountains and rivers, to see that person he was thinking of in his heart.

Who the shocking Heavenly Emperor of the ten continents is, Ye Lingtian knew all too well.

The Heavenly Emperor who slew young supreme beings and mocked Saints was none other than his son, Ye Lingtian!

So why was he seeking the Heavenly Emperor?

Ye Lingtian wasn't eager to see his son, nor was he after the rewards of the divine treasure, but rather, he was building momentum for his son!

The rumors of the Heavenly Emperor shook the ten continents; he was a living legend, already standing at the pinnacle of the ten continents!

Cultivators from all ten continents were searching for the Heavenly Emperor, stirring up the entire Canglan with the winds of change. Ye Lingtian wanted to further amplify this effect, pushing the existence of the Heavenly Emperor to new heights!

The people of the Ye Family all carried a mission, and Ye Lingtian had his own mission, as surely did his son!

Ye Lingtian didn't know what mission his son had, but he was aware that no one could find the Heavenly Emperor!

Therefore, Ye Lingtian went all out, fueling the momentum, following the trend, and aimed to elevate the Heavenly Emperor to a pinnacle of glory!

...

Yongle Divine Continent.

This continent has one absolute overlord, Baihua Palace, one of the ten major sects!

Baihua Palace governs a continent, boasting a million disciples, twelve golden hairpins in charge of internal and external affairs, and an invincible Saint presiding, making it a superpower within the Canglan Realm!

In the northern part of Yongle Divine Continent, in a picturesque area by the mountains and waters, stands a vast palace complex.

Within this palace compound, countless palaces tower, each majestic and resplendent, grandly and luxuriously constructed. There are no high walls outside the palace compound, only a layer of strange barrier energy, protecting this vast palace compound.

This barrier energy is a protective great formation, capable of blocking attacks from an Other Shore Grand Master, even holding off a Saint for a few moments!

This is the dwelling of Baihua Palace, the den of a superpower!

Today, Baihua Palace is recruiting outer sect disciples.

Streams of people flow endlessly towards Baihua Palace, countless cultivators coming on pilgrimage, gathering in the tens of thousands, all hoping to be admitted to Baihua Palace.

However, the majority of these visiting cultivators are female, as Baihua Palace is a holy land for female cultivators, where yin prospers and yang declines, leaving very few male disciples.

But the scarcity of male disciples doesn't mean there are none. A young man walks in with his head held high, followed by a scrappy dog, arriving at the registration site of Baihua Palace.

This man, with his impressive presence and extraordinary bearing, and enveloped in an exceptional aura, is none other than Ye Chen, who has stirred the ten continents!

However, Ye Chen has altered his appearance and concealed his aura. Although still extraordinary, he is no longer the Heavenly Emperor.

Ye Chen's actions have caused too much of a sensation, with countless people seeking him, forcing him to lay low for a while.

During this time, Ye Chen refined a flower of the Other Shore, hoping to use it to ascend to the Other Shore.

But the Other Shore is supreme, how could one casually descend upon it?

As of now, Ye Chen's cultivation remains that of the strongest War Immortal, but due to the advancement from the Other Shore flower, he could surpass the strongest at any moment!

Ye Chen can only ascend to the Other Shore if he surpasses the strongest War Immortal!

However, unless he accumulates a solid foundation, he cannot be rash in advancing his cultivation. Ye Chen is aware of this principle, so he hasn't been too aggressive.

During this period of laying low, Ye Chen was refining the Other Shore flower while learning surreptitiously from the little Qilin, mastering its Way of Myriad Forms!

The Path of Myriad Manifestations is a way of constant transformation, allowing its master to shift their aura in myriad ways.

Ye Chen practiced the Path of Myriad Manifestations to disguise himself because he had become too famous, and countless people sought to find and kill him.

Having mastered the Path of Myriad Manifestations, Ye Chen had lain in wait until today, when he intended to enter Baihua Palace openly and honorably!

The Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Great Happiness Grant is Baihua Palace's strongest unique skill, and Ye Chen had a very deep connection with it. Considering the special mission he bore, he was looking forward to this visit to Baihua Palace.

A man who cultivated the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Great Happiness Grant sneaking into a holy land for female cultivators...

Ye Chen had many fantasies about this: if he could pick any of the twelve golden hairpins, what realm could he reach by cultivating the Great Happiness Grant?

If he accidentally wandered into the Saintess's room, and then, by some accident, ended up on her fragrant bed, and half-heartedly brought disaster upon the Saintess, would he become invincible right away?

Ye Chen didn't know because all this was just fantasy, but he really wanted to give it a try.

In the end, Ye Chen passed through the crowd, ignoring the odd looks around him, and sat in front of a disciple registering names.

"You're here to sign up?" The disciple was a female cultivator who, sensing someone sitting down, didn't even lift her head as she asked.

"Mm!" Ye Chen nodded his head.

"Eh?" The female cultivator instinctively lifted her head and, seeing a man before her, showed a look of surprise on her face.

"You want to join Baihua Palace?" The female cultivator asked again for confirmation.

Baihua Palace was a sacred place for female cultivators, rarely sought by men for cultivation, so it was surprising and uncertain to see Ye Chen wishing to join.

"Yes, I want to cultivate in Baihua Palace!" Ye Chen confirmed sincerely.

"Alright," the female cultivator recovered her composure, and said, "Name, where do you come from, and why do you want to join Baihua Palace?"

"I am called Sky Emperor, and I come from the Ninth Heaven!" Ye Chen, a child who couldn't lie, bluntly revealed his purpose.

"Sky Emperor?" The woman responsible for registration frowned coldly, looking at Ye Chen with distaste.

"Damn, this dude's got guts, claiming to be the Sky Emperor!"

Ye Chen wanting to join Baihua Palace had already attracted a lot of attention because it was unusual for a male cultivator to voluntarily join such a female-centric place, drawing the eyes of many.

However, more shocking than a man wanting to cultivate in the Palace was the claim that he was the Sky Emperor!

There's no need to explain who the Sky Emperor is, as his name is known throughout the Divine Continents, and there's hardly anyone who doesn't recognize the Sky Emperor!

But this guy wanting to enter Baihua Palace, claiming to be the Sky Emperor, made people wonder if he had been kicked in the head by a donkey.

The stunning Bounty Order involved Baihua Palace, which was part of the Nine Great Powers!

A stranger came to Baihua Palace, declared himself the Sky Emperor – was this not a self-invitation for a slap in the face?

"Where did this madman come from, and how dare you act wildly outside Baihua Palace?" The female cultivator registering names sternly admonished Ye Chen.

"Fairy, do not blame me, I misspoke in the moment; please don't take it to heart!" Ye Chen said with an embarrassed smile.

Ye Chen had just said it on a whim, trying to gauge the reaction, and who knew it would cause such a stir? This made him feel that he definitely shouldn't reveal his identity.

"Name, from where, and why do you want to join Baihua Palace!" The female cultivator asked with a displeased expression. Although the man was handsome, he seemed crazy, and she had lost all interest in him.

"I am Ye Chen, from the Tianlong Divine Continent, and I've come to Baihua Palace in search of a marital match!" Ye Chen replied.

"Looking for a marital match?" the female disciple asked coldly.

"Mm!" Ye Chen nodded earnestly; he really was here to find a bride.

"Baihua Palace is a place for cultivation; how can it tolerate someone so impure? Get out!" The female disciple dismissed Ye Chen very directly.

"Haha, the kid got stunned!" The onlookers laughed mockingly.

But those laughing soon were dumbfounded themselves because a beautiful female cultivator arrived at the scene, making her way to Ye Chen.

"You wish to cultivate in Baihua Palace?"

The beautiful female cultivator smiled at Ye Chen, and judging by the expressions of the Baihua Palace disciples around, it was clear she was someone of no ordinary status.
