Ordinary Puppets are easy to craft.
However, Puppets at the Emperor Realm level involve the rules of the Emperor Realm and are by no means easily crafted.
Moreover, even if one were crafted, the strength of an Emperor Realm Puppet would absolutely not compare to a Great Emperor of the same rank.
Therefore, it is a thankless task.
Unless it is a Cultivator or Sect specializing in the path of Puppets, few people would go to such trouble.
And now, clearly, this elderly Emperor Realm Puppet was being used to guard the Gate of Immortals and Mortals.
"I have naturally made preparations," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.
The elderly Puppet seemed to lack intelligence or emotion, speaking only in a mechanical tone.
"Within the Gate of Immortals and Mortals, there are a total of ninety-nine portals."
"Each portal contains the imprint of a supreme powerhouse from the Boundless Starry Sky."
"Pushing open twenty portals will allow direct entry into the Boundless Starry Sky."
After listening, Jun Xiaoyao pondered.
The Gate of Immortals and Mortals had a total of ninety-nine portals.
Pushing open twenty counted as passing.
Viewed this way, the strength of the supreme powerhouses' imprints left within must be quite formidable.
Otherwise, it would not be limited to just twenty.
Rumble!
The Gate of Immortals and Mortals opened, and behind the gate, it was pitch black, as if it were a black hole.
Jun Xiaoyao entered directly.
Inside the gate, it was not a series of spaces.
It was a vast galaxy.
In the center of the galaxy appeared a massive figure clad in golden armor, standing tall, reaching the heavens and the earth, as if it were an ancient deity.
That was the imprint of the supreme powerhouse left here.
"This is... the Ancient God Clan..."
Seeing the appearance and the aura, Jun Xiaoyao remarked.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
The Ancient God Clan was a lineage with a massive System.
There were traces of them in both the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain and the Boundary Sea.
In the even broader Boundless Starry Sky, known for being populated by ten thousand races, it was impossible for them not to exist.
Perhaps they were even like the Yun Clan.
The Ancient God Clan of the Boundary Sea might have originated from the Boundless Starry Sky as well.
Boom!
The figure of this supreme powerhouse of the Ancient God Clan attacked directly, holding a golden spear in its hand, which it threw, piercing through the stars.
It could be said that this first trial alone was not weak.
But for Jun Xiaoyao, it naturally counted for nothing.
He also unleashed the supreme technique of the Ancient God Clan.
Ancient God World-Destroying Finger!
One finger to shatter stars!
One finger to collapse the heavens!
One finger to destroy the world!
With Jun Xiaoyao's current Emperor Realm cultivation, he could already initially unleash the power of this supreme technique of the Ancient God Clan.
And this technique was associated with the strength of the Physical Body.
This happened to be Jun Xiaoyao's strong suit.
Therefore, the power he unleashed was naturally even greater.
Soon, this Ancient God figure was annihilated by Jun Xiaoyao with a single finger.
He continued forward.
The second door...
The third door...
Jun Xiaoyao discovered that the imprints of the supreme powerhouses left within the Gate of Immortals and Mortals belonged to many powerhouses from the ten thousand races of the Boundless Starry Sky.
There were all sorts of strange races, controlling different racial Bloodline Divine Abilities, and their strength was all extraordinary.
However, for Jun Xiaoyao, it was naturally not a problem.
Soon, Jun Xiaoyao broke through twenty doors.
But he did not choose to leave; instead, he continued to challenge the gates.
On one hand, he used this to temper himself.
On the other hand, it was also to understand the many powerful races of the Boundless Starry Sky.
Then thirty doors.
Forty doors.
Fifty doors.
In the end, Jun Xiaoyao broke through directly to ninety doors!
This caused the elderly Puppet sitting cross-legged atop the Gate of Immortals and Mortals to reveal a hint of human-like surprise.
He had guarded the Gate of Immortals and Mortals here, and he did not know how many powerhouses had challenged the gates.
Being able to break through to the thirty or fortieth gate was already considered an absolute Prodigy.
Upon going to the Boundless Starry Sky, they could become formidable overlords who dominated a region, becoming saints and ancestors.
As for those beyond the fifty or sixtieth gate, they were true peerless existences.
They were all existences with hope of assaulting the Supreme Emperor realm.
It was just that such a level was too rare; there had not been many throughout history.
As for the seventy or eightieth gate, they were even fewer and further between, worthy of being called having the Aptitude near that of a god.
Every time one appeared, it would stir up a monstrous commotion in the Boundless Starry Sky and change the landscape of the forces.
If they did not perish halfway, they would definitely be a Peak existence famous throughout the Boundless Starry Sky in the future.
As for breaking through beyond the ninetieth gate, that was an absolute Mythical Aptitude, or even the Aptitude for Immortal Ascension!
Such an existence was an absolute anomaly throughout history, rare since ancient times.
One might not appear even in an era.
However, now.
Jun Xiaoyao had already broken through beyond the ninetieth gate.
And beyond the ninetieth gate, the imprints of the supreme powerhouses left behind were clearly unimaginably strong.
They were very likely existences that only appeared once in an era.
But Jun Xiaoyao was naturally unafraid.
He was the ancestor of anomalies, his degree of being a Prodigy was unquestionable, he had the System cheat, and he was also a Fate Nihilist.
Jun Xiaoyao's goal was originally to Cultivate to be unparalleled in history at every stage.
Merely an existence that dominated an era was not enough to make him retreat.
Of course, this was only an imprint after all; it could not contend with a true supreme powerhouse, as this was only a trial.
Boom!
An unimaginable ripple swept through.
Jun Xiaoyao tore apart that figure once again and entered the next gate.
The ninety-third gate...
The ninety-fourth gate...
The ninety-fifth gate...
Finally, Jun Xiaoyao successfully broke through the ninety-ninth gate!
The moment Jun Xiaoyao broke through the ninety-ninth gate, the entire Gate of Immortals and Mortals suddenly trembled, immeasurable radiance emerged, and a vast aura swept across the Vast Expanse.
Within the Void Realm of the Universe, it seemed as if countless visions and scenes emerged.
Just at the moment the Gate of Immortals and Mortals trembled, in the vast and boundless Boundless Starry Sky, countless forces felt a certain unusual movement in an instant.
"Hmm... that ripple, could it be the Gate of Immortals and Mortals?"
"The Gate of Immortals and Mortals is a place of trial for other realms to enter the Vast Expanse; now that it has produced such a ripple, it means..."
"How is it possible? Someone has completely punched through the Gate of Immortals and Mortals and passed the ninety-ninth gate!"
"It is rumored that those who pass the ninety-ninth gate all have the Aptitude for Immortal Ascension; this is... an Immortal Seed!"
The Aptitude for Immortal Ascension, or in other words, an Immortal Seed.
This kind of Aptitude was simply Heaven-Defying to a terrifying degree.
Even in the vast, endless Boundless Starry Sky populated by ten thousand races, it was absolutely the most top-tier existence.
Every time one appeared, it would stir up monstrous waves and would be frantically pursued and courted by countless forces.
Such an Immortal Seed, even if it were difficult to directly Cultivate to Immortal Ascension due to environmental conditions and other factors, would at the very least be a Mythical Emperor.
That was a Mythical Aptitude, which was terrifying enough.
The moment such an existence appeared, it was enough to instantly become famous throughout the Boundless Starry Sky.
"Go, quickly go and investigate clearly!"
"Who exactly punched through the Gate of Immortals and Mortals? Such a Prodigy must be courted; if not courted, one must at least befriend them!"
Such a ripple shook half of the Vast Expanse, and countless forces were alarmed.
Big shots issued orders to go and find that Immortal Seed.
Meanwhile, in the Boundless Starry Sky, in a certain unimaginably magnificent realm, there existed a Hegemon Clan that, looking across the Vast Expanse, could stand at the Peak.
It ruled over many realms, sat and watched the eternal Vast Expanse and the rise and fall of the worlds, and had countless racial forces as vassals.
It was none other than the Yun Clan, one of the ten great Hegemon Clans of the Vast Expanse!
