Chapter 220 – Good heavens! What on earth is this? (Bonus Chapter)

As Ye Sheng looked toward her, the young woman sensed his gaze and warily turned her eyes to him.

Her Spiritual Sense was equally astonishing!

To become a ‘Provincial Top Scholar’ of a major province, none were ordinary!

After a brief glance, Ye Sheng withdrew his gaze.

Within this Emperor’s Tomb, while there were many incomplete Great Emperor Dao Fruits, the number of complete ones was likely not small either. There was no need to provoke conflict with others.

Ye Sheng stepped forward, continuing on his journey of search.

Seeing Ye Sheng depart, the young woman who was merging with a Great Emperor Dao Fruit also breathed a sigh of relief.

Unless necessary, she too was unwilling to clash with Provincial Top Scholars from other provinces.

Just as Ye Sheng had thought, Provincial Top Scholars were far from ordinary!

…

Half a day later, Ye Sheng stopped before a tomb.

Within this tomb was an enormous, brilliant light sphere, its Law Divine Chains intact and flawless!

This was a complete Great Emperor Dao Fruit!

Upon seeing this, Ye Sheng should have been overjoyed, yet at this moment, he furrowed his brows.

The 9th Revolution Ghost Emperor within this tomb had the Class of ‘Calamity Mage.’

The so-called ‘Calamity Mage’ was actually an evolution from the Necromancer.

Its Law Divine Chains were also comprehended from the laws of the undead…

This did not align with Ye Sheng’s Celestial Master path!

“Although it’s a complete Great Emperor Dao Fruit, it seems useless to me!” Ye Sheng’s brows knitted tightly. He was a Celestial Master, walking the path of righteousness and grandeur!

Various thunder techniques were the bane of necromancers.

For him to merge with a Great Emperor Dao Fruit of a ‘Calamity Mage’ seemed utterly inappropriate no matter how he looked at it.

Before entering the Emperor’s Tomb, the Reincarnation Sage had told him…

For juniors like them, merging with Great Emperor Dao Fruits certainly brought the benefit of increased Combat Power.

But more importantly, it was for reference and enlightenment!

To draw inspiration from these Great Emperors’ Law Divine Chains, thereby comprehending their own Law Divine Chains, so that they might step into the Imperial Realm in the future.

Given that, how could he, a Celestial Master, refer to the Law Divine Chains of a ‘Calamity Mage’?

Wouldn’t that be straying onto a crooked path?

“No! Absolutely not!” Ye Sheng shook his head, decisively abandoning this complete Great Emperor Dao Fruit.

He had considered taking it, but the Reincarnation Sage had warned him…

Each person could only take one Great Emperor Dao Fruit from the Emperor’s Tomb; this was the collective Wealth and foundation of the entire race.

If theft were discovered, it wouldn’t just mean handing it over—one’s life would be forfeit, mercilessly suppressed!

Ye Sheng turned and left. Though it was a complete Great Emperor Dao Fruit, since it didn’t suit him, there was nothing to linger over.

…

Ye Sheng continued to delve deeper into the Emperor’s Tomb. As he went further, he gradually developed a strange sensation.

This feeling was indescribable, its origin unknown.

“Strange! It’s as if something is calling to me?” Ye Sheng halted, frowning as he looked toward the depths of the Emperor’s Tomb.

This sensation grew stronger the deeper he ventured into the Emperor’s Tomb!

“Forget it, I won’t dwell on it for now!”

Unable to understand what was happening, Ye Sheng simply began following this feeling, pressing further into the Emperor’s Tomb.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since Ye Sheng entered the Emperor’s Tomb.

During these three days, Ye Sheng occasionally encountered ‘Provincial Top Scholars’ from other provinces.

When they met, they merely exchanged cold glances before each continued their own search.

The opportunity to enter the Emperor’s Tomb is rare, and no one would waste such a precious chance on fighting others.

Ye Sheng also saw many Provincial Top Scholars finding complete Great Emperor Dao Fruits, merging with them and transforming into enormous glowing spheres.

In the Emperor’s Tomb, finding a complete Great Emperor Dao Fruit isn’t particularly difficult if one disregards Class compatibility.

Days passed one after another.

Following that sense of summons, Ye Sheng ventured deeper into the Emperor’s Tomb.

Gradually, the surroundings grew desolate. Not only did he encounter fewer other Provincial Top Scholars, but even tombs became scarce.

As for how far he had traveled, even Ye Sheng himself couldn’t tell.

Yet, the sense of summons from within his body grew increasingly intense!

Another day slipped by in haste.

On this day, Ye Sheng finally discovered the source of this summons.

The Celestial Master’s Heart!

Ever since his Class Change to Celestial Master, his heart had radiated brilliant light, surrounded by countless mysterious Daoist School runes swirling around it.

Now, the Celestial Master’s Heart was vibrating incessantly, appearing almost… excited?

“How could this be?” Ye Sheng was both startled and doubtful, unable to comprehend what could make the usually silent ‘Celestial Master’s Heart’ so agitated.

Ye Sheng quickened his pace, heading deeper into the tomb.

…

Half a day later, Ye Sheng halted, frowning as he stared at a small mound of earth before him.

That’s right! Just a small mound of earth.

This mound was utterly inconspicuous. Without the guidance of the Celestial Master’s Heart within him, he would never have noticed it.

It was too ordinary, like a tiny bump on flat ground—something one would overlook even while walking over it.

“Is this an Emperor’s Tomb? Has time worn it down so much that it’s nearly flattened?” Ye Shen wondered in astonishment.

Immediately, he extended his senses toward the small mound.

He was determined to see what lay within that could provoke such a strong reaction from the Celestial Master’s Heart.

Whoosh!

Ye Sheng closed his eyes, using his Spiritual Sense to probe underground.

Boom!

The very next second, he was forcefully repelled, his face turning pale.

“What was that? A planet?”

Ye Sheng was stunned!

Though it was only a fleeting glimpse, he had seen something unbelievable.

While other Emperor’s Tombs contained enormous glowing spheres, the sphere within this small mound was colossal, emitting boundless light as if it had no limits!

To Ye Sheng, it felt like encountering a planet.

“What is this? A Great Emperor Dao Fruit? How could there be such an astonishing Great Emperor Dao Fruit?!”

Refusing to believe it, Ye Sheng closed his eyes again and extended his Spiritual Sense.

This time, prepared, he saw clearly.

It was indeed a Great Emperor Dao Fruit.

It was immense, resembling a planet, radiating endless white light.

Astonishingly, within this white light, not just one but multiple Law Divine Chains were weaving through.

“How is this possible?” Ye Sheng exclaimed in shock. Other Great Emperor Dao Fruits contained only one Law Divine Chain.

Yet within this enormous sphere, there were more than one.

Ye Sheng counted carefully and found a total of ten Law Divine Chains, each distinct.

Most importantly, all ten Law Divine Chains were complete!

But this wasn’t the most astonishing part…

The most astonishing thing was when Ye Sheng peered into the depths of the glowing sphere.

He witnessed an incredible sight: an ‘Emperor Embryo’ was gestating within, with the ten Law Divine Chains weaving between its fingers like toys.

“Oh my god~! What on earth is this?” Ye Sheng was dumbfounded. Though he didn’t understand what exactly was before him, he realized he had likely encountered something extraordinary.
