Chapter 993: Busy, a piece of cake

Ever since Ye Chen decided to set foot on the Heavenly Path, everyone in Tianmen has been busy. Mainly because Ye Chen felt that things should be arranged properly before leaving.

Seeing Tianmen busy, Han Shilin was happy on the surface, but felt reluctant in his heart. Soon, when the day was agreed to go out, the Tiandao people who led the way were already waiting outside the Tianmen. After Ye Chen warned several trusted disciples several times, he followed Han Shilin out of the Tianmen. Ye Chen said to Han Shilin:

"From now on, Tianmen will have you on your behalf."

Han Shilin nodded and said, "I'm afraid you won't come back."

"Why are you afraid that I won't come back?"

Han Shilin said: "I have never heard of anyone coming back from Tongtian Dao."

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back."

Ye Chen assured Han Shilin, but Han Shilin didn't quite believe it. He just said, "I will take care of Tianmen while you are away."

The two said some more words of farewell, and Ye Chen flew away with the heavenly beings.

Ye Chen was still very excited about going to Tongtian Dao. Not long after flying, he asked an old Tiandao next to him:

"Brother, why haven't I heard of Tongtian Dao before?"

The old Tiandao had no reaction at all to Ye Chen's words. Ye Chen thought he was ignoring him, so he shouted again. At this time, a man in black behind him said:

"You don't have to shout so loudly, he's deaf."

There were thirteen people from Tiandao who came with Ye Chen this time. They didn't originally use so many people to guide Ye Chen, but these people said they couldn't eat pork, so they wanted to watch the pigs run away anyway. Anyway, I just wanted to see how he entered the path of heaven.

Ye Chen looked back at the man in black and nodded. When the sun turned to the west, those heavenly beings were tired from flying and asked to take a rest. Ye Chen entered the Taoist realm and didn't feel tired at all. But I still had to take care of those people, so I flew to the top of a mountain and sat down.

After everyone sat down, Ye Chen noticed that one person was missing, so he asked, "Aren't there thirteen of you in total? Why is there one missing? Did someone leave?"

Those people were confused. They counted the number of people one after another and couldn't figure out who was missing. Just when I didn't know what to do, I suddenly heard the man in black say: "No, I know, it's the deaf man flying in front."

Ye Chen also thought of that person and hurriedly chased after him to pull him back. After everyone finally arrived, the Tiandaos shared the dry food they had brought. Only then did Ye Chen ask:

"How long does it take to get to Tongtian Road from here?"

An old man said: "At today's speed, it won't arrive until the afternoon of tomorrow at the earliest."

Ye Chen didn't expect it to be so far, so he said, "I thought I could get there today."

The old man smiled and said: "If you use your full ability, maybe you can. We can't."

Seeing that things were like this, Ye Chen didn't want to leave them alone, so he said, "Then let's take it slow."

The gods were also grateful for Ye Chen's care. At this moment, Ye Chen remembered the problem during the day.

"Why haven't I heard of Tongtian Dao before?"

A Tiandao dressed as a farmer said: "You leveled up too quickly. You haven't been in the Tiandao realm for a long time. It's normal that you don't understand the Heavenly Dao."

Ye Chen looked at the man and smiled, and the man continued: "However, because the Heavenly Dao has declined in recent years, people who can set foot on the Heavenly Dao have not appeared for hundreds of years, so there are very few people who know about the Heavenly Dao. People will talk about it, and many people will think it is just a legend.”

These heavenly beings all felt the same way and talked about their feelings one after another. However, when Ye Chen stepped onto the Heavenly Path, these Heavenly Daoists were greatly encouraged, and they all wanted to reach the realm of Taoist Master in the future.

This night, those heavenly beings spent their time in excitement. Early the next morning, they set off towards Tongtian Road. In the evening, Ye Chen followed the Tiandaos to an extremely ancient village.

Ye Chen thought the village was deserted because half of the houses had collapsed and the other half was occupied by ancient trees and weeds. It was only when he followed those Heavenly Dao to a place like an ancestral hall that he realized that he was wrong. It turns out that an old man lives here.

The old man was very old, and it was hard to tell how old he was, but he moved very nimbly, and he looked like a hunter in all his attire.

The old man seemed very happy to see so many people arriving, and entertained them with his home-brewed wine and dried meat he had prepared. Ye Chen was not polite and followed them to eat and drink.

Another night passed. Ye Chen saw that it was dawn and quickly got up. When I went out, I saw those Heavenly Dao people waiting outside, and the old man was also there.

Ye Chen remembered that he had eaten the old man's delicious food last night, and said to the old man: "Old man, thank you for your hospitality. How much do you think it will cost?"

The old man seemed not to have heard it, and walked up to Ye Chen and said, "Are you the one who wants to embark on the path to heaven?"

Ye Chen was a little puzzled. He didn't know how the old man knew those things. Seeing that Ye Chen didn't answer, the old man stopped waiting and said, "Follow me." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards a small road.

"Where to go?"

Ye Chen was confused. Fortunately, those Heavenly Dao replied: "He is the last guardian of Tongtian Dao, and this village is the village of the former guardian of Tongtian Dao."

Only then did Ye Chen notice that tall stone statues could be seen everywhere in the dilapidated village. But he still didn't understand: "Are we here? Or..."

At this time, the old man had entered the path, and Ye Chen had no choice but to follow him, and the gods also followed. A Tiandao said:

"This is where the two worlds of light and darkness meet, and where the Heavenly Path is located."

"Didn't you say you won't arrive until noon today?"

"Yes," a Tiandao said: "There is still a way to get here, but we can't fly anymore."

Ye Chen didn't believe it, so he tried it, and sure enough, there was a strong pressure that prevented him from flying up. Just at this time, Ye Chen came behind the old man, and the old man said:

"I have been waiting for someone to set foot on the Tongtian Road since I was a child. For hundreds of years, all my people have disappeared. Finally, I have been waiting for someone who can set foot on the Tongtian Road."

Hundreds of years?

Ye Chen couldn't believe it. But now he doesn't want to think too much. He followed the old man to the entrance of Tongtian Road. This section of the road is also quite difficult, with cliffs and waterfalls, but these dangers are just a piece of cake for people like them.

Ye Chen looked at a stairway made of bluestone leading to the sky in front of him and asked, "Is this the Way to Heaven?"

After getting the answer, Ye Chen stepped forward. It was at that moment that Ye Chen felt a powerful pressure, as if there were hundreds of Taoists issuing pressure at the same time.
