The End of the Emperor Road Was a Head Too

"Third Uncle."

A figure walked in from outside a room and said into the room:

"Has anyone been paying attention to what's happening inside that Secret Road?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, and the old man looked at him and asked:

"I hadn't been paying attention. What happened? Did something go wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the newcomer shook his head and said:

"There's a young man with your Secret Road token, Uncle, but inside the Secret Road..."

"They seem to be having a bit too much fun."

"Oh?"

The old man's expression shifted.

"Let's go take a look."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them flashed and arrived in the Secret Road space in the blink of an eye.

Then, the old man's gaze swept across the entire world.

A moment later, another person said:

"Third Uncle, well... as things stand, there's practically no room for us to maneuver anymore."

"But these things all seem like a game. If we were to present these things as the Emperor Road, it would be too frivolous and diminish the grandeur of the Emperor Road."

Upon hearing this, the old man pondered for a moment and then said:

"It's alright, anyway, the Emperor Road is just a concept. Now that there's a road, let them walk on it."

The other person looked at the old man and smiled:

"It seems Uncle San really thinks highly of this little guy with the token."

Lao Tzu smiled and said:

"Anyway, over the years, the overall level of those who have left this Land of Contemplation has been just so-so, so there's no need to be too picky."

"One useful person is better than a thousand hardworking ones."

"Let's go, let them do what they want in this Land of Contemplation."

After saying this, the old man disappeared.

The other person glanced around again, shook his head slightly, and said:

"What's the point of this? It can't just be for fun, can it?"

After saying that, he left the place.

In a certain place among the Dragon Race.

Gu Chen and the figures of the Longwang Clan clashed in mid-air, sometimes appearing as humans and sometimes as dragons, their battle becoming increasingly intense.

Below, Mu Fan, Long Yi, and the others watched Jingjing.

"Senior Brother Gu's martial arts skills have improved by leaps and bounds again," Qin Li said.

Mu Fan smiled upon hearing this and said:

"It seems that the previous battles with many promising young talents of the Human Race were quite useful."

Qin Li nodded, but hesitated to speak, and ultimately said nothing more.

The phrase "rapid progress" is an understatement when describing Gu Chen's current transformation.

He felt that this significant improvement did not come from simply fighting against Human Race prodigies.

But he had no idea why.

After all, she knew very well that as the senior disciple, he was well-versed in the ways of the sect.

It's hard to say; perhaps they've been hiding it all along.

On the other side, Xiao Ye looked at Gu Chen, and after a long while, finally sighed softly:

"Senior brother, you really are senior brother."

Elsewhere, Long Yi watched Gu Chen fight against the Longwang Clan, his expression frequently changing.

As the saying goes, the higher one's level of understanding, the more one knows; and the more one knows, the more awe one experiences.

The change in Gu Chen now compared to before is truly remarkable.

If before, Gu Chen's dragon form was more like a dragon than ordinary dragons, then now, in his dragon form, Gu Chen's actions and style are incomparable to ordinary dragons, and he is even more like the Dragon Emperor of the Longwang Clan.

And it's not just about "similar," but about maximizing all advantages in the details of the fight.

This is what is most precious.

Although these things are easy to say and easy to understand, actually doing them is another matter entirely.

Even he spent countless years to finally reach that level.

The Longwang Clan is not young, and he is also Dragon Emperor, but he is still somewhat lacking in that level.

However, Gu Chen has now taken the lead over the Longwang Clan.

This was something that hadn't happened not long ago.

In other words, in this short period of time, Gu Chen achieved such an improvement simply because of his previous battle with the Human Race and his subsequent seclusion.

How could this not shock the dragon?

"Indeed, being with extraordinary people inevitably makes one extraordinary oneself."

Long Yi sighed inwardly, yet couldn't help but think:

Or is it because this time, he's standing above Li Baimei again?

If that's the case...

Long Yi murmured softly, recalling the widely discussed matter of the Emperor Road.

An idea flashed through my mind.

If that's the case, then shouldn't we help him reach the "end" of the Emperor Road and help him achieve further advancement?

There's a promotion if you stand at the top, there's a promotion if you stand on top of others, so there should also be a promotion if you stand at the "end".

Anyway, whether it's a dragon's head, a human head, or an end, it's all a head.

At this moment, Gu Chen's fight with the Longwang Clan also stopped.

Longwang Clan gave Gu Chen a deep look and said:

"It seems that next time you'll be on par with the Dragon Emperor."

"You're too kind, senior," Gu Chen said with a smile.

At this moment, Mu Fan and the others also came over.

"Senior Brother Mu, this retreat is far too 'secluded'; you're going to amaze everyone when you emerge."

Upon hearing this, Mu Fan smiled and said:

"It's all thanks to Master's excellent teaching. It's all thanks to Master's excellent teaching."

The progress we've made so far is all thanks to the tasks assigned by the system.

It must be said that the extent of this improvement far exceeded his expectations.

This simply doesn't make sense with ordinary explanations.

But with Master around, there's absolutely no need to worry.

Thank you, Master, it was definitely right.

At this moment, Qin Li said:

"Senior Brother Gu, the legendary Emperor Road is now showing signs of appearing."

"The Emperor Road?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's expression hardened, and he said:

"When?"

"Currently, there's only a hint of it emerging; we don't have any clear information yet about when it will actually happen," Qin Li said.

"In that case..."

Gu Chen frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over Qin Li, Mu Fan, and the others, and said:

"For us, appearing so early is probably a bit of a disadvantage."

Qin Li nodded and said:

"Indeed. If only reserves have a chance to enter the Emperor Road, we can still hold the advantage with our current strength. But if all parties can enter, then I'm afraid our advantage will be much smaller."

After a pause, Qin Li looked towards the Longwang Clan and said:

"Moreover, it is highly likely that this will escalate into another chaotic war between Human Race and Beast Race."

Gu Chen nodded and then asked:

When will the Emperor Road appear?

As soon as he finished speaking, he clearly saw that both Qin Li and Mu Fan had subtle expressions on their faces.

"Um?"

Gu Chen's expression shifted.

"Judging from your reactions... does that mean the Emperor Road will appear near the sect?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Fan clapped his hands and applauded:

"It has to be the eldest brother; he guessed it right away."

"Really?"

Gu Chen's expression was somewhat strange, and he asked again:

"What are Master's thoughts and plans?"

Mu Fan smiled and said:

"Isn't this exactly what we're waiting for—for our eldest brother to finish his seclusion so we can go back together and ask Master?"

"Okay," Gu Chen nodded.

"Let's go then."
