All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

They say everyone is a descendant of the Great Emperor.

This wasn't a joke; every prodigy who could enter the ancient path of humanity was blessed with extraordinary luck.
It's an exaggeration to say that everyone is a descendant of the Great Emperor, but more or less everyone has come into contact with the Great Emperor's lineage.

"act recklessly!"

Wang Gan snorted coldly, standing in the void, his full head of black hair dancing like ink, his eyes sharp as knives.

A small golden lake appeared between his brows, as deep as an abyss, emanating a spiraling golden power. Streams of golden light, seemingly gentle, were sharper and more terrifying than the Heavenly Blade.

The golden ribbons surged like a tidal wave, engulfing the saintly geniuses opposite and shaking the entire human city gate.

"This is... the Demon Emperor's Nine Slashes!"

"It's the Azure Emperor's forbidden secret technique! The opponent really is the Azure Emperor's successor!"

"What a terrifying secret technique! Only the Demon Emperor could have created such a supreme holy method!"

The saints' expressions changed instantly. Such a terrifying forbidden technique reminded them of the horrific time when they were dominated by Emperor Wanqing.

The Azure Emperor also stepped into the Imperial Pass back then, and with such unstoppable momentum, he slaughtered all enemies.

Looking back at the saints and prodigies who were fighting, blood splattered across the starry sky, staining the falling stars crimson.

With just one move, a Saint was severely injured and fell unconscious. This was only because Wang Gan held back. If he could, killing a Saint with a single blow would be a true display of his combat power.

"Clearly, his cultivation is two levels higher than his, yet he couldn't even withstand a single move!"

Another sage-level prodigy swallowed hard; this level of combat power was already comparable to that of a young emperor.

"I'm not targeting anyone in particular, everyone here is trash!"

Wang Gan's expression was calm, yet his divine might was like that of a prisoner.
"If you are not convinced, then anyone below the level of a Great Sage is welcome to come and fight!"

"Successor of the Azure Emperor, that's enough!"

The guide finally couldn't hold back any longer and made a horrifying move in mid-air.
Originally, with his Saint King cultivation level and as the guide guarding the pass, he would not attack human prodigies unless under special circumstances. But now that the Heavenly Court has attacked, and Wang Gan still dares to use his full power up close, he really can't help but bully the weak!
The bronze spear, at the Saint King level, stirred the void, like a black lightning bolt piercing the sky! It was far stronger than a Saint!

"Good timing!"

Wang Gan straightened his expression and transformed into a streak of Yin-Yang tribulation light, tearing through the void like a rift in the sky, directly dodging this attack that could kill any saint!
Kunpeng Treasure Technique - Yin Yang Transformation into the Dao!

A Kunpeng suddenly appeared above Wang Gan's head, swallowing the essence of heaven and earth, its waves like the sea, its yin and yang energies like the sky collapsing and the sky splitting open, forcing the guide to retreat several steps, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth!

"What kind of forbidden technique is this?!"

"It actually summoned the divine form of the Kunpeng?!"

The guide's mouth was bleeding, and his whole body was trembling. He never expected that he, a Saint King of the Third Heaven, would be at a disadvantage against a Saint of the First Heaven with his full strength!

Wang Gan remained calm; he was confident he could kill the Saint King if he used his full strength.
However, the guide on the other side is, after all, a powerful figure from the ancient human path. If things get ugly and the guides behind them fight back desperately, the situation will become unfavorable.

"Has the battle for the throne already come to a conclusion before it even begins?"

"The Imperial Road is too ruthless; only a select few exceptional geniuses can shine brightly. We are merely passersby."

All the saints sighed, their faces filled with despair.

The opponent can even withstand a Saint King, their strength is unfathomable, and they also have a group of Great Saint-level protectors. How can anyone else compete with them?
Some people even considered joining the Heavenly Court. This Northern Dipper Heavenly Court is so domineering, it might really be able to revive the ancient glory, and then they will all have a chance to ascend to the path of immortality in this lifetime!
"The Heavenly Court is also a human power, and we naturally welcome anyone who is willing to join us."

Wang Gan's lips curled up, preparing to dump this trivial matter on Ye Fan. This time, his move naturally intimidated the entire first pass of the ancient road, making them dare not resist in the slightest. They couldn't even defeat a single saint on the other side, so how could they deal with the terrifying Great Saint fleet and protectors behind them?
They could only let the Heavenly Court take over the first line of defense for the entire human race.

Meanwhile, the reputations of the Big Dipper Heavenly Court and the Eastern Venerable spread very quickly.

Even many outstanding individuals who had already passed the first test wanted to turn back and challenge the Heavenly Court's Eastern Venerable, who was said to have killed a saint with one move and defeated a saint king with another!
Meanwhile, the guardian of the Emperor's Path, the peak Great Sage-level Daoist Qinghuang, also received the message from the guide and quickly arrived at the first checkpoint.

"How could this be?"

The Azure Phoenix Daoist was shaken as he looked at the sky-covering fleet and the Great Sage warship at its head.
He couldn't even match the fleet on its own, let alone the opportunity that was subtly stirring within it, which he was wary of.

"A half-step Quasi-Emperor... a Quasi-Emperor's existence."

"This ancient path of humanity is likely to be stained with blood."

Daoist Qinghuang sighed.
"With the emergence of the Ancient Sacred Body, the Overlord Body lineage probably can't sit still any longer."

The Holy Body and the Overlord Body have been at odds since ancient times, with the Holy Body winning more often than it loses. They can be said to be natural enemies, and the Overlord Body will definitely not let the Holy Body off the hook.

"So, the current generation of Overlords has also arrived?"

Wang Gan calmly stepped into the void, facing this peak Great Sage.

"A lotus blooms under the eternal blue sky"

Qinghuang Daoist had lived a long enough time, almost to the end of his lifespan, so he had naturally witnessed the invincible talent of the Azure Emperor and sensed the Azure Emperor's aura on Wang Gan.

"The successor of the Azure Emperor also possesses the qualities of the Azure Emperor."

"It seems that the Azure Emperor's plan is far beyond what someone like me can fathom."

Qinghuang Daoist was certain that the Heavenly Court was probably a scheme orchestrated by the Azure Emperor, and that it was beyond his control.

He's already this old; there's no need for him to fight to the death over internal human conflicts.

"The current Overlord has already reached the peak of Sainthood, and is not an easy opponent to deal with."

Daoist Qinghuang kindly spoke up.
"Now that you have embarked on the path to becoming an emperor, Fellow Daoist Wang will eventually have to fight against the geniuses of the entire universe."

This is an unspoken rule of the ancient human path in the battle of prodigies. Just like Wang Gan would not use his strength above the Great Sage level to bully the weak, it is best for prodigies to resolve their own affairs.

Otherwise, if it really provokes a war between the Great Sage and even a Quasi-Emperor, the impact would be far too severe.

"It's alright, I will follow the example of the Azure Emperor and suppress all enemies."

Wang Gan waved his hand.

"Please enlighten me, senior, on how to proceed on the path to becoming an emperor."

Daoist Qinghuang nodded.

"This ancient road of the human race has a total of 108 passes, which is exactly 108 in number. However, as time has passed, most of the passes have become desolate."

"Only a few Imperial Passes have Receiving Envoys to suppress and select qualified geniuses to enter the next level. Moreover, the later levels contain an extremely powerful opportunity."

Wang Gan understood immediately; what the Azure Phoenix Daoist was referring to was the legendary source of the Dao.
The Source of the Dao is a rare treasure bestowed by Heaven and Earth to reward outstanding individuals. Only true geniuses can gain its recognition, merge with this treasure, and undergo a transformation. (End of Chapter)
