On this day, Brother Cheng and Luo Yuan bound themselves to Yang’s Profound Pattern.

Later, they bound themselves to Fire’s Profound Pattern with Tang Ru and Yin’s Profound Pattern with Yi Chen.

Among these three, Yi Chen proved to be the greatest help.

After binding with him, Brother Cheng’s progress with Yin’s Profound Pattern surged from 11th Layer 0% to 93%.

The 12th Layer was not far off.

This saved him a whopping four to five billion Immortal Yuan Points, making him even more fond of Yi Chen.

Then, he rejected Yi Chen’s request to stay by his side always.

"A man with ambition should roam far and wide. How can you always linger here wasting your youth?"

"But I don’t feel like I’m wasting time by your side..."

Yi Chen gained great benefits from this binding as well.

His realm broke through from Emperor Realm Eighth Layer Mid-stage to Late-stage, with the door to Emperor Realm Ninth Layer open to him.

How could he bear to leave the Sect Leader Jiang he already revered greatly?

However, Brother Cheng thought otherwise.

You have the protagonist template as the Child of the Plane; you must venture out to seek your own fortune.

Only then will you be stronger when we meet next.

Who knows, you might bring more benefits to me.

What’s the point of staying by my side every day? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Like a fledgling eagle, you must learn to fly soon, to soar across this brutal Cultivation Realm!"

Sect Leader Jiang spoke one powerful line after another.

Yi Chen still wanted to plead, "But Master Luo and Senior Sister Tang can stay..."

"They’re not as excellent as you."

Sect Leader Jiang patted him on the shoulder, speaking solemnly, "I’ve always thought the most highly of you; you’re the face of our village out there!"

This remark led to some discontent among the other disciples.

Even Luo Yuan and Zhongli Que, two Second Generation Elders, stepped forward.

"Sect Leader Jiang, we’re not worse than him!"

"Exactly, why is this kid our face, what does he count for?"

Originally reluctant, Yi Chen couldn’t help but perk up.

"Hahaha, are you two Masters trying to argue with Sect Leader Jiang? Are you questioning his judgment?"

After Brother Cheng praised him, he was motivated as if on steroids.

"Sect Leader Jiang, just watch! Next time we meet, my achievements will surely surprise you!"

"Alright, alright..."

Brother Cheng waved his hand, watching the ’child’ fly off into the distance, his eyes full of paternal satisfaction.

After sending Yi Chen off, he summoned Han Wen, Duan Yue, and Ji Yao.

"You guys can set off to the Ice Realm."

"Remember my words, have the Ice Extreme Saint Venerable look after you too."

Han Wen and Duan Yue nodded.

Meanwhile, Ji Yao was inwardly excited beyond compare.

She now believed Jiang Cheng definitely knew the Celestial Venerable of the Ice Realm.

After all, he was already the Lord of the Ice Realm.

This time, besides Ji Yao, some other immortals trained in the Ice Rule would join them.

Because of Jiang Cheng’s connection, their path would undoubtedly be smoother once they got there.

Watching their mighty figures about to depart, many immortals present were envious.

"Ah, unfortunately, there are only Four Great Realms now."

"I cultivate the Combat Element Rule Origin, yet it hasn’t come."

"Yes, I don’t know when my Sword Origin True Realm will arrive either."

"We still have to linger here for now..."

Hearing this, Brother Cheng felt quite puzzled.

"If the Origin True Realms aren’t here, you can go by yourselves!"

"All these years being besieged by Jiu Jue, almost at the brink several times, why didn’t you escape to other True Realms for refuge?"

This was something he hadn’t figured out recently.

If you can’t beat Jiu Jue, then just retreat! Return to seek revenge when stronger.

Cang Ling can go to Realm of Speed, Xuanming to Realm of Water; every Immortal can go to their respective True Realm.

Honestly, during his time in True Ice Realm, he once thought the Ice Phoenix Emperor had arrived ahead.

"Do you all have such strong ties to your homeland that you can’t bear to leave?"

"What ties to homeland?"

Elder Cyan Dragon curled his lip, saying, "If we could escape to other True Realms, we’d have been gone long ago."

"There’s simply nowhere to go, that’s all."

"Indeed, we want to venture to other True Realms like Jiu Jue and Dark Phecda, but unfortunately, there’s no way."

"Huh?"

"Aren’t there three thousand entrances to the True Realms deep within the crevice?"

Brother Cheng twitched his mouth, then looked at Mang Ye in the crowd, whose eyes were darting around.

"Didn’t you tell them?"

He left hurriedly, assuming Mang Ye would disclose it later.

"What?"

"Is there such a thing?"

Everyone exploded upon hearing this.

"Three thousand entrances?"

"Right there, deep in the crevice?"

"Damn, so there’re three thousand True Realms, each with its own entrance?"

"Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

In a flash, space cleared around Mang Ye.

Everyone’s gaze full of questions fell upon him.

This guy looked embarrassed; he deliberately withheld the information so others wouldn’t surpass him.

Everyone’s collective rise wouldn’t be as satisfying as standing out alone, right?

But he couldn’t reveal the real reason, though.

He could only mutter some high-sounding excuse.

"Facing external invasion, how can we, Immortal Realm, run away?"

"We should fight it head-on, to not lose face!"

"I’d rather die standing than crawl through an escape hole like a dog!"

His lofty words incited everyone to curse indignantly.

"The dog’s hole is your head!"

"To hell with losing face, if you’d said earlier, would we be petrified in Barbaric Realm now?"

"Damn it, I knew you were doing it on purpose!"

"Screw it, if you’d said earlier, we’d have ventured in a million years ago, and now perhaps we’d also be at Emperor Realm Third and Fourth Layer!"

"Now I see why you reached Emperor Realm Sixth Layer, you had a one-man feast?"

Now, not just experts from other realms, even the Great Emperors from Barbaric Realm showed dissatisfaction.

Indeed, Mang Ye was a bit unprincipled here.

Initially, his countless struggles against formidable enemies were moving.

But in hindsight, with no need for stubborn resistance here, what was the point?

Mang Ye’s attempt to show off backfired, and instead became a target of criticism, making him abandon all pretenses.

"You didn’t find the entrances, suggesting your fortune hasn’t come; this is destiny, not my fault."

"It’s your fault for not measuring up!"

The crowd nearly exploded in fury.

"Where’s the crevice?"

"Yes, where exactly are the entrances to the three thousand True Realms?"

"I’m impatient to locate the Realm of Wood."

"Haha, Realm of Poison, await my arrival!"

"In my past life, I had a bond with Realm of True Painting, it’s as if I’ve heard the calls of destiny already..."

The once prominent figures of the Six Realms now had their eyes shining, rubbing their hands eagerly.

No wonder they were this excited.

Most of them had cultivated to the plane’s limit in the Immortal Realm.

No matter how strong their talent or aptitude was, the plane’s own limits restricted further breakthroughs, what more could be done?

Now hearing about a True Realm corresponding to their rules, a close encounter with the Origin to continue their breakthroughs, how could they not be thrilled?
