Within Ye Chen's body floats a sigil, swirling in his Fate Palace, radiating golden brilliance, like a mysterious star.

This is a golden sigil, not an illusion, but an ancient inscription!

However, this sigil is too ancient, too mysterious for anyone to comprehend.

Moreover, the power of the sigil is tremendously vast, filled with an invincible aura, striking awe into the hearts of people.

The golden sigil is the heart of the Heavenly Emperor, Ye Chen's heart of fortune, the key to ascending to sainthood!

"The heart of the Heavenly Emperor condenses slowly; to fully form, it requires a long period of time. How did it suddenly crystallize?"

"Could this be a fateful encounter, a blessing from the heavens, and I am about to ascend to sainthood?"

The heart of the Heavenly Emperor had only condensed about seventy percent, with a significant distance remaining to truly achieve success.

Yet, after waking up today, Ye Chen felt an inexplicable sensation, his entire being transforming, and the heart of the Heavenly Emperor inexplicably crystallized!

"Strange, what on earth caused me to be aided by divine forces, leading to the crystallization of the heart of the Heavenly Emperor?"

The heart of the Heavenly Emperor unexpectedly transformed from cocoon to butterfly, undergoing bizarre changes, which shocked Ye Chen and left him a bit bewildered, for it was too incredible!

The heart of the Heavenly Emperor is crucial for his path of ascension, and Ye Chen realized it might still require a considerable amount of time to condense fully.

This period could be ten years, twenty years, perhaps fifty years, or even a hundred years!

Ye Chen's martial foundation is too vast, making the path to transcendence exceedingly difficult!

The difficulty of Ye Chen's ascension to sainthood would make even a Great Saint frown.

Because Ye Chen has surpassed any genius throughout history, reaching an indescribable, perhaps forbidden realm!

Thus, Ye Chen's path to ascension is extraordinarily challenging, and it is uncertain how many hurdles he must overcome to finally fulfill his aspirations.

"Ye Chen, what's happening to you?"

Suddenly, Ye Chen sat up cross-legged, eyes closed, emanating a perplexing aura, as if his spirit had wandered beyond, startling Qin Ying and Qin Lan.

They had just been teasing Ye Chen about becoming divine, and now Ye Chen assumed such a posture, as if preparing to ascend to deity, and it truly frightened them.

"Elder sister, what's happening to Ye Chen? Could he possibly really be ascending to deityhood?" Qin Lan leaped off the bed, distancing herself from Ye Chen.

Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, exuding sacred aura, appearing to have forgotten himself and all, dwelling in a mystical realm.

Moreover, atop Ye Chen's head appeared the flower of the Great Dao, not causing earth-shattering events or devastating mountains and rivers, but the aura transcended all, making one instinctively feel humble, irresistibly compelled to worship.

"What's happening to Ye Chen? I don't know either!" Qin Ying watched Ye Chen, speaking. "However, Ye Chen's transformation is certainly a blessing, not a curse!"

Ye Chen at this moment appeared too ethereal, resembling a deity in the mortal world, beyond comprehension, unobservable, unfathomable!

Yet, Qin Ying's cultivation is quite profound, and she has seen much in her time.

Though she hadn't reached Ye Chen's realm, judging from Ye Chen's state, his transformation was definitely a blessing, not a curse.

"Ye Chen said he hasn't ascended yet, but he's close to becoming a Saint! His sudden display of unusual behavior, could it be he's ascending right now?" Qin Lan suddenly speculated.

Ye Chen's abilities are indescribable, already capable of battling kings and repelling the will of Great Saints.

However, even with such overwhelming strength, he couldn't ascend to sainthood.

At this moment, Ye Chen demonstrated extraordinary qualities, revealed sanctity, likely metamorphosing from cocoon to butterfly, transcending to sainthood!

"Ye Chen has forgotten himself and all, undergoing transformation, mustn't be disturbed by the external world, we should retreat and quietly guard him from outside!"

Ultimately, Qin Ying and Qin Lan retreated from the room, silently waiting outside, unwilling for Ye Chen to be disturbed.

"..."

The room fell quiet, Ye Chen sat there cross-legged, radiating a serene aura, while a storm brewed inside him, tumultuous and overwhelming.

The crucial place of Ye Chen's Fate Palace hung a sigil, exuding an invincible, sacred, and domineering aura.

This aura formed a storm, cleansing Ye Chen's soul, as if aiding him in growth, leading him through some form of transformation.

"The heart of the Heavenly Emperor has crystallized, transforming into a sigil, undergoing incredible changes!"

"My combat power has also improved..."

"However, it seems I still lack something, unable to ascend!"

The storm within Ye Chen continued incessantly, yet his heart was extraordinarily serene, his soul radiating sanctity, resembling an unmatched Divine King.

The crystallization of the heart of the Heavenly Emperor initiated changes within Ye Chen's aura, cultivation, everything about him was evolving.

Sensing this transformation, Ye Chen attempted to trigger the heart of the Heavenly Emperor, seeking to embark on the pathway of ascension!

Nevertheless, no matter how Ye Chen tried, he couldn't activate the heart of the Heavenly Emperor!

The heart of the Heavenly Emperor is Ye Chen's Dao fruit, without activating it, he cannot break the cycle of reincarnation, merge with the Dao, transcend to sainthood.

"How could this be?"

The sigil of the Heavenly Emperor remains rampant, refining Ye Chen entirely, leading him to supreme transcendence, beyond imagination.

Yet Ye Chen found no joy, rather a sense of bewilderment!

Ye Chen's cultivation is undeniably powerful, having surpassed the King of Prodigies and reached a forbidden realm that even the Great Saints must acknowledge with a sigh.

However, no matter how strong Ye Chen is, as long as he hasn't attained saintly certification, he cannot have eternal life with the heavens, his True Spirit cannot remain undying, and he is inherently different from a true Saint.

Ye Chen is still getting stronger, becoming increasingly extraordinary, with his battle prowess having reached the pinnacle of a Divine King!

But, he hasn't become a Saint!

"Where went wrong?" Ye Chen questioned silently in his heart. "My cultivation should be able to achieve saintly certification, yet the Emperor's Heart shows no reaction, making it impossible for me to connect with the Heavenly Dao!"

After the Emperor's Heart formed, Ye Chen underwent a miraculous transformation, having surpassed ordinary Divine Kings, and could be matched with peak Divine Kings such as Chen Yun, Skeleton, and Di Lintian.

This battle prowess was magnificent and second only to the invincible Great Saints, considered the pinnacle of existence.

However, even with such strength, Ye Chen hasn't touched the Heavenly Dao. What is this situation?

In general, when a Sovereign achieves saintly certification, as long as their cultivation has reached that level, they naturally can connect with the Heavenly Dao. After breaking the laws of heaven and earth, they gain the Heavenly Dao's recognition and become Saints.

Yet, it was not the case for Ye Chen. His cultivation had already reached the level necessary, but he could not communicate with the Heavenly Dao, unable to complete the final step of saintly certification.

Thus, Ye Chen felt something had gone wrong within himself; it seemed he had taken a misstep, which prevented him from achieving saintly certification.

"Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor Fist is too invincible, making such a technique and such a path unsuitable for saintly certification?" Ye Chen began doubting himself.

The Heavenly Emperor Fist is the foremost technique throughout history; it has no equal among the greatest. It was the ultimate martial art, spiritual practice, insurmountable and incomparable!

Ye Chen broke eternal taboos, surpassing the King of Prodigies, relying on the wondrousness of the Heavenly Emperor Fist.

Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor Fist had been acknowledged by Yu Jizi, a testament to its significance!

Yu Jizi was the overlord of the previous era, the ruler of all realms, an entity surpassing the Great Saints!

The cultivation path Ye Chen initially followed, Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Great Happiness Grant, was created by Yu Jizi.

Originally, Ye Chen's attainment of Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Great Happiness Grant should consider him Yu Jizi's disciple!

However, Ye Chen comprehended the Heavenly Emperor Fist, surpassing Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Great Happiness Grant, becoming Yu Jizi's heir!

Disciple and heir have similar implications, but disciples emulate predecessors, while Ye Chen merely inherited the spirit!

Ye Chen's practice with Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Great Happiness Grant at most could achieve the Great Saint, remaining unable to become a being like Yu Jizi!

Yu Jizi, as its creator, could thus become a miracle, surpassing the Great Saints.

Yet, Ye Chen emulating predecessors cannot become a miracle.

Since Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Great Happiness Grant is a miracle, but it can only create one miracle!

However, Ye Chen did not follow Yu Jizi's path, instead pioneering another, broader path than Yu Jizi's.

The Heavenly Emperor Fist absorbed Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Great Happiness Grant, merging its incredibility, but already surpassing it, becoming even more astonishing!

Thus, Ye Chen transformed from Yu Jizi's disciple into his heir, as he did not emulate predecessors but inherited Yu Jizi's invincible will and created his own path!

The existence of the Heavenly Emperor Fist is beyond understanding, even the Great Saints find it incomprehensible because this technique is too powerful and should not exist.

Yet, whether by chance or destiny, Ye Chen comprehended the Heavenly Emperor Fist and pioneered an unprecedented path!

The existence of the Heavenly Emperor Fist made Ye Chen transcendental and created an undefeated legend!

But precisely because the Heavenly Emperor Fist is too powerful, it plunged Ye Chen into a strong, formidable conundrum that no one has ever encountered!

"Too strong to achieve saintly certification; if this gets out, wouldn't it be laughable?" Ye Chen mocked himself.

The undeniable strength of the Heavenly Emperor Fist made saintly certification difficult because it was too powerful!

After the Emperor's Heart formed, Ye Chen could match peak Divine Kings, with the next step being the Great Saint Realm!

However, even with such strength, he could not achieve saintly certification, which had somewhat undermined his confidence.

Determining one's strength involves battle power, but realm is equally important!

If one cannot achieve saintly certification, Ye Chen, even if he can combat Great Saints, cannot accomplish invincibility!

For without saintly certification, one cannot have eternal life with the heavens, the True Spirit remains perishable!

Saints can live without physical bodies, but Ye Chen cannot!

Ye Chen's greatest strength is his physique, but once his body is destroyed, he truly perishes, unable to achieve the undying True Spirit.

When the world-ending calamity descends, Ye Chen must wage war across the lands, and with chaos and peril abound, who knows whether his body will be shattered?

Thus, Ye Chen greatly desires saintly certification, as only through it can he rise anew!

However, Ye Chen's situation is exceedingly complex; his intention for saintly certification seems to have become a kind of luxury!

"Do I need to continue developing the Heavenly Emperor Fist to achieve saintly certification?" Ye Chen deduced his own path and technique to find a way to saintly certification.

The Heavenly Emperor Fist can continue to be developed, but without stepping into the Saint Realm, Ye Chen lacks many insights, reaching this stage is already the limit.

Moreover, the fifth form of the Heavenly Emperor Fist has been developed, already astounding the heavens and spirits, upon its execution, all heavens are affected.

If Ye Chen continues developing, what level can the Heavenly Emperor Fist reach?
