Chen Changan glanced at the eighteen members of the Yellow Banner's Third Squad and asked curiously, "What are your cultivation levels?"
"Reporting to the Young Master, all eighteen of us are at the peak of the Emperor Dao Realm."
"All members of the Yellow Banner are at the peak of the Emperor Dao Realm."
The peak of the Emperor Dao Realm?
None of them had entered the Two Emperors Realm.
"After all these years, none of you have made a breakthrough?" Chen Changan asked curiously.
"Young Master, perhaps our talent is limited. We've never been able to break through to the Two Emperors Realm."

"The Two Emperors Realm is divided into the Emperor Heaven Realm and the Emperor King Realm."
"Both Battle Hall Masters have reached the peak of the Emperor King Realm, but neither has entered the Ancestral Realm."

Take the Third Squad standing before him, for
