Chapter 208 – Blessed Distress

01 Sep 2017

Note:The next chapter will come day after tomorrow

Yang Chen had reaped great harvests on this trip to Meng Qi mountain. But apart from the legendary herbs in the hidden valley, everything else was under Yang Chen's expectation.

The only headache Yang Chen had now was that he hadn't cleared everything with Shi Shanshan. In the future, this will become another troublesome matter.

However that hidden valley where he found the blood essence of Heavenly Roar Dog was also a reminder to him. The owner of Positive Yang Mountain's Medicine Garden, that is the owner of Yang Chen's current Medicine Garden in clean bottle had already ascended to Immortal World from Mortal World, three to four thousand years ago.

The maturity of the herbs in the Medicine Garden seems to have some problems. As his talent was exceptional and he did not delay during his cultivation journey, it had only taken him a short amount of time to retrieve the Medicine Garden.

However, when Yang Chen observed those ingredients, they seemed to be a thousand year matured at most. Could it be possible that the herbs in the Medicine Garden had already been taken by someone a thousand years ago? But why were the herbs re-planted? This made no sense.

The only logical explanation could be that within the Medicine Garden in the clean bottle, there exists some secret which he had yet to discover. Perhaps his cultivation was insufficient or perhaps he hadn't gotten right the opportunity yet.

In any case, at that time, the senior had only informed him of the method to enter the Medicine Garden, as for the things inside, perhaps he wanted Yang Chen to slowly discover them by himself.

Throughout the whole journey, he kept thinking about a way to handle Shi Shanshan's matter. After returning to Pure Yang Palace, he immediately went to see his master before meeting anyone else.

Ever since Yang Chen had gone out with the Fairy Shi of Green Jade Immortal Islands, Gao Yue's wasn't in a very good mood, her cultivation also wasn't progressing smoothly. When she suddenly saw Yang Chen, a smile bloomed on her face, all her previous worries seemed to have vanished.

Yang Chen naturally reported everything that had happened at the Meng Qi mountain one by one to her, including the matter of Heavenly Roar Dog's blood essence and the matter of legendary herbs too. Apart from the origin of Heavenly Roar, he revealed everything. Yang Chen had absolute trust towards Gao Yue.

Hearing about the immense harvests, moreover, that Shi Shanshan had unexpectedly thought about the possibility that Yang Chen treasuring a jade ring may become a crime and thus left all of the legendary herbs in Yang Chen's safe keeping, Gao Yue couldn't help but be astonished.

What did this mean? Did she really consider Yang Chen as her husband so she had full confidence in him? Gao Yue couldn't guess what Shi Shanshan was thinking, however, after seeing her complete confidence in Yang Chen, Gao Yue was rendered speechless.

Naturally, obtaining the legendary herbs was an exciting affair. However, Yang Chen returning back safely was much more important than anything else to her. Gao Yue treated Yang Chen very nicely without saying anything else. Finally, she gave Yang Chen an astonishing news.

Clear Sky Sect's genius Sun Qingxue had appeared at Pure Yang Palace several months ago requesting to meet Yang Chen. After hearing that Yang Chen had yet to return, she had surprisingly chosen to stay at visitor's residence of Pure Yang Palace to wait for him rather than going back. Gao Yue didn't know what kind of relation Yang Chen and Sun Qingxue had so she informed him of the news, asking him to go see Sun Qingxue.

Upon hearing Sun Qingxue's name, the image of the little girl from execution ground immediately appeared in Yang Chen's mind. With Yang Chen's assistance, the future Snow Dance Fairy was not only saved from Great Calamity of Devil Cultivation, she had also entered the patronage of elder Hua Wanting, so she should have reached the foundation stage?

The first time Yang Chen saved her life was pure coincidence, but after he helped her the second time, she surely would have wanted to repay the favor. In any case, becoming friends with Snow Dance Fairy was far better compared to offending her. Furthermore, Yang Chen hadn't made any extravagant demands. He was just slightly surprised, why has Sun Qingxue come to meet him?

Very quickly, Yang Chen saw Sun Qingxue within the guest's residence. Sun Qingxue, who was wearing green colored clothes, even after so many years, still had the appearance of that pure little girl. Seeing Yang Chen, a smile blossomed on Sun Qingxue's face as she sweetly called Yang Chen:

"Big brother Yang, you have returned!"

"How are you?"

Yang Chen was quite glad seeing this little girl after a long time.

"After I built my foundation, my master asked me to travel and gain experience."

Sun Qingxue made a spin in front of Yang Chen, showing her youthful appearance, then suddenly blinked her big eyes and asked:

"Big brother Yang, am I pretty?"

"Very!"

Yang Chen replied honestly. He could already see that Sun Qingxue had reached the foundation stage some time ago, the pure wood attributed spirit power in her body, full of PengLai Divine Wood's presence, was possibly the effect of the foundation stage pill given by Yang Chen.

"Then you must not become dao companions with elder sister Shi, ok?"

Suddenly, an expression, which was completely different from her personality, could be seen in Sun Qingxue's eyes, surprising Yang Chen.

"What did you say?"

Yang Chen just didn't dare to believe that Sun Qingxue had said this right after meeting with Yang Chen after so long, so he couldn't help but ask with bewilderment.

"I will be your dao companion, so you must not become dao companions with elder sister Shi, ok?"

This time, Shi Shanshan said these words even more clearly. After saying this, she felt little bashful and sat down on one side with a red face, playing with the hem of her clothes, not daring to raise her head and look at Yang Chen.

Sun Qingxue had quite a favorable opinion of Yang Chen, this does not need to be said. When Yang Chen left the Clear Sky Sect, Sun Qingxue immediately entered seclusion with her master Hua Wanting and started to cultivate from the beginning after destroying her previous cultivation.

Sun Qingxue, who had full wood spirit root, was indeed worthy of being called a cultivation genius. Within less than ten years, she had already reached the foundation stage. Moreover, when she built her foundation, she hadn't used the foundation stage pill given by Yang Chen. Afterwards, under the advice of the knowledgeable Hua Wanting, she used the third grade foundation stage pill given by Yang Chen after reaching foundation stage, transforming the first wood spirit power into PengLai Diving Wood's spirit power.

While under Hua Wanting's guidance, her seclusion had already passed twenty years. After coming out, Sun Qingxue immediately heard of Shi Shanshan being betrothed to Yang Chen. Moreover, Green Jade Immortals Island was also in favor of Yang Chen becoming Shi Shanshan's dao companion.

Although this little girl considered Yang Chen has her elder brother in her heart, after hearing this news, she felt quite uncomfortable. Even after cultivating for several years, she couldn't make any progress because of her unstable mental state. Elder Hua Wanting seemed to have sensed this rancor in her disciple and allowed her to travel outside and gain experience.

Who could have thought that Sun Qingxue would directly come to Pure Yang Palace and after hearing that Yang Chen had gone on an outing with Shi Shanshan, would simply wait here for one year to for Yang Chen. And once he returned, this would be the first question she asked.

Yang Chen's eyes almost seemed to come out, looking at the little girl standing in front of him, he was dumbfounded for a long time. What could he say? First, the Cold Plum Fairy wanted to become his dao companion and now even Snow Dance Fairy had come? Moreover, she even wanted to compete with Cold Plum Fairy?

Before he could even cast off the trouble named Shi Shanshan, why has a Sun Qingxue suddenly appeared?

"I know that elder sister Shi has a full metal attributed spirit root."

Seeing Yang Chen's stupefied expression, Sun Qingxue looked up and continued to speak:

"I have a full wood attributed spirit root, wood gives birth to fire, so wouldn't I be a more suitable dao companion than elder sister Shi? You are fire attributed, fire subdues metal so you both will just hold each other back.

"This……"

Yang Chen didn't know how to respond to Sun Qingxue and could only mumble the reply:

"This is really sudden, let me think for some time!"

After thinking of something, Yang Chen immediately asked:

"Does Elder Hua know about this?"

"Master knows!"

Sun Qingxue quickly replied like a good assistant.

Yang Chen completely believed that this was Sun Qingxue's decision and that Hua Wanting and Clear Sky Sect didn't know about this so he could use this as an excuse, but he never thought that Hua Wanting knew about this.

"Elder Hua knows?"

Yang Chen's eyes opened widely, what's going on here?

"Elder Hua knows, even the sect master knows!"

Sun Qingxue gladly reported, she was greatly excited about this, master supports her, even the sect master also supports her:

"They all said that I have to fight my own fight with my own method, so here I am."

Yang Chen didn't know what kind of expression he had any more, however, one thing was certain that it wasn't very good looking. But seeing Sun Qingxue looking at him anxiously, Yang Chen had no other option other than to give an answer to stall.

"Let me think about it properly!"

Yang Chen forced a smile:

"I… I will consider it carefully!"

"Ok, I'll wait!"

Sun Qingxue's excitement didn't lessen even a little bit as she replied with a smile, then she stopped and held Yang Chen's arm and asked in an earnest tone:

"Elder brother Yang, I still haven't seen MeiQing mountain properly, you must accompany me, ok?"

How could Yang Chen say no? As a host, accompanying the guest to stroll in his territory was completely normal. However, compared to Sun Qingxue's delightful mood, Yang Chen clearly wasn't himself somehow.

Sun Qingxue was in high spirits and seemed to be completely interested, almost as if all that happened just now was not real. Together with Yang Chen, they flew on their flying swords to Thousand Autumn Pavilion and looked at some things, enjoying herself to her heart's desire, she followed after Yang Chen and returned to Second Fierce Yang Courtyard.

After arranging a good place for Sun Qingxue to settle down, Yang Chen returned back to Gao Yue's room miserably and simply repeated everything that happened with Sun Qingxue, sighing:

"What is all this?"

When Yang Chen was in the mortal world in his previous life, most of the time, he was being hunted down by people so where did he have the time to think about these matters. Regardless of whether it was the Cold Plum Fairy or the Snow Dance Fairy, how can Yang Chen have any extravagant hope of getting into the good grace of both of them? With so many cultivation geniuses, why would these two have look at him? But in this life, he hadn't expected that he would have form a connection with both of them.

"Two beautiful women have shown their appreciation for you and you still aren't satisfied?"

It was not clear what Gao Yue was thinking at this moment, she began to make fun of Yang Chen.

"Ai, I will go and see Palace Master Zhong Jiao!"

Having found no solution at Gao Yue's place, Yang Chen could only leave dejectedly. He went to Palace Master Zhong Jiao's place hoping to find some guidance.

"This is great!"

Hearing that Yang Chen wanted to meet him, Palace Master Zhong Jiao immediately allowed him to come in. After hearing everything Yang Chen narrated, he couldn't help but burst out laughing:

"Two exquisite cultivation geniuses want to become your dao companion, this clearly illustrates the excellence of my Pure Yang Palace's disciple! Why don't you accept both of them? In any case, you already have more than one type of spirit power on your body."

Yang Chen had the spirit power of both phases of all five attributes, Palace Master Zhong Jiao clearly knew about this and thus asked him. But Yang Chen became more and more depressed, why is this Palace Master so unreliable?

"Green Jade Immortal Islands and Clear Sky Sect, surprisingly, both of these first grade sects are supporting their disciples to become your dao companion."

Palace Master Zhong Jiao stroked his beard light and muttered:

"Could it be that they have taken fancy to your potential?"

Yang Chen had already thought about this. From the angle of the upper echelons of Clear Sky Sect and Green Jade Immortal Islands, they would certainly not allow their sect's geniuses to become other people's dao companion that easily. The only explanation could be because of the elixir he had refined for senior black tiger.

Naturally, ordinary cultivators will not be accepted by these big sects, but a genius pill concocting expert was another story, especially the one who had refined elixirs that were used by Da Cheng stage experts when he himself was just at foundation stage, this made their acceptance easier.

The only thing a sect considers is, its own benefits. But the behavior of the two females towards him gave Yang Chen another headache.

Because she exploited Yang Chen for her own benefit, Shi Shanshan felt ashamed as she thought that Yang Chen would certainly die in the life and death duel, hence the reason why she said that she remain as his widow.

But Yang Chen's victory came as a complete surprise for her and using the reason of keeping true to her words, Shi Shanshan unilaterally decided to be Yang Chen's dao companion.

Admittedly, she had thought that she would be troubled by Yang Chen, but after coming in contact with Yang Chen, Shi Shanshan herself didn't seem to have any conflicts with him.

As for Sun Qingxue, her reason was even simpler. Yang Chen had saved her twice. Furthermore, he had also found a Da Cheng stage master for her. Feeling both grateful and having blind faith in Yang Chen, affected the little girl's heart and Sun Qingxue became extremely fond of Yang Chen and could only think of having Yang Chen as her dao companion.

However, Yang Chen's heart was completely filled with thoughts of his master. He was caught completely unprepared by the appreciation shown by these two fairies. Especially Sun Qingxue, before the matter of Shi Shanshan could be resolved, Sun Qingxue had jumped in. What a headache!

"This is a lucky opportunity which only comes by chance, such an enormous chance has come to you, but you are making all sorts of excuses to drive it away."

Seeing Yang Chen's frown, Palace Master Zhong Jiao couldn't help but snort:

"If the admirers of those two knew about this, in the future, even your going out of MeiQing mountain would be a problem."

"Palace Master, then what should this disciple do?"

Yang Chen didn't have any experience dealing with this kind of matters, even his memories of the ten thousand years from his previous life couldn't help him, even if he had sufficient intent to kill, could he kill Shi fairy and Sun Qingxue? With no way out, he could only seek the help of Palace Master Zhong Jiao.

"Since the Clear Sky Sect has also personally stepped in, then you can only drag and stall it as much as possible."

Knowing Yang Chen's dilemma, Palace Master Zhong Jiao could only offer him this way out:

"Finally, it will still have to be resolved by yourself, others also cannot help you much. Only…."

After speaking to this point, Palace Master Zhong Jiao took a deep sigh:

"If you still refuse them firmly, maybe you will offend both Clear Sky Sect and Green Jade Immortal Islands. Hopefully this will settle the matter regarding dao companions, otherwise, maybe if you found any dao companion in future, both of the sects may be prepared to kill her."

If big sects are denied face, sometimes they can only use this method to redeem it. Yang Chen understood this point more clearly compared to Palace Master Zhong Jiao. Although Yang Chen didn't have the slightest hesitation in killing people, facing such matters, he couldn't accomplish anything by beheading anyone, so he could only dejectedly nod his head.

With no solution in mind, he could only drag this matter on for now and think about it later. As for how long to drag this matter, Yang Chen himself also wasn't sure. Who could have thought that Pure Yang Palace's miraculous disciple Yang Chen will unexpectedly have to face this kind of blessed distress?

Chapter 209- Cultivating Seventh Metal True Qi

07 Sep 2017

Apparently, Sun Qingxue had only come to express her feelings towards Yang Chen. She also wanted to fight with Fairy Shi, who had previously shown her kindness, to become his dao companion. Feeling shy, she decided to wait for Yang Chen. Although she couldn't get any clear answer from Yang Chen, she still felt relieved and returned back to her sect, saying that she was returning to concentrate on cultivation.

After sending off Sun Qingxue, Yang Chen had finally gotten rid of this big headache for the time being. After pondering for some time, he decided to not go out and stayed in the Second Fierce Yang Courtyard to cultivate properly.

Senior apprentice sister Gongsun Ling had come out of closed door training some time ago, so Yang Chen went to pay her a visit. Like Gao Yue, she also teased him for having such great luck with women. But fortunately, she didn't say much about it and asked him to recommend to her some secret books for spell formations which she could obtain and use. After which, she began her research again.

Yang Chen also paid a visit to senior disciples Wang Yuan and Du Qian. He also visited everyone who had a relationship with him and not only provided them with cultivation guidance but also offered them legendary herbs. Needless to say, these few senior disciples were extremely grateful to him.

On the other side, Palace Master Zhong Jiao wasn't very worried regarding Yang Chen's so called 'troubles', and he still faintly hoped that his plan would be successful. Yang Chen also didn't dare to speak more about this matter with the Palace Master. As for his great master Wang Yong, he was still refining the qilin's horn into his destined flying sword and hadn't come out of seclusion. So for the time being, Yang Chen couldn't get any good guidance.

After talking properly with his master once more, Yang Chen entered closed door training in his room and began to cultivate.

The Seventh Metal True Qi which he had obtained from Scarface, came in handy. Previously, he couldn't use it since his cultivation had reached the next layer and needed to be consolidated. But after pill concocting and traveling for so long, Yang Chen had realized that perhaps, the time to upgrade his seventh metal spirit power had come.

Heavenly Roar was also self cultivating during this period. Before entering closed door training this time, Yang Chen fed him two ladles of the Heavenly Roar Dog's blood essence, double the amount from last time. Soon, Heavenly Roar was once again surrounded by a blood cocoon and lost his consciousness. However, this time, the colour of the blood cocoon was much deeper compared to the last time. Apparently, it was because his bloodline had started to transform and become pure.

Looking at Heavenly Roar's transformation, Yang Chen's mood improved greatly. Finally, after thinking about the many enemies whom he still had to face, Yang Chen couldn't help himself and began to tense up. Very quickly, he entered cultivation mode.

He already had obtained the Seventh Metal True Secrets, so after obtaining the Seventh Metal True Qi, there wasn't much difficulty in cultivating it. Yang Chen took out the jade bottle he had obtained from Scarface and began to carefully remove the seals and talismans on it one by one. After they had been removed, traces of Seventh Metal True Qi's essence began to seep out from the mouth of the bottle.

Concentrating the essence from the air, Yang Chen began to absorb these traces through his nose and move it according to the Seventh Metal True Secrets. His entire being immediately sunk into a state of calmness.

As the traces of Seventh Metal True Qi began to permeate his seventh metal spirit power, it began to transform. This most primal Seventh Metal essence quickly assimilated the spirit power in the surroundings and compressed it. Within less than five months, the entire seventh metal spirit power in Yang Chen's body had transformed into Seventh Metal True Qi.

However, after transformation, more than 90% of his seventh metal spirit power had disappeared. But the difference between his previous seventh metal spirit power and the current Seventh Metal True Qi was simply incomparable. To reach an equilibrium, the other spirit powers also began to help to supplement it, in addition to the Seventh Metal True Qi from that jade bottle, thus increasing his seventh metal spirit power quickly.

The Seventh Metal True Qi within the jade bottle was completely consumed. Fortunately, Scarface had collected a large amount of it, which was sufficient to completely transform Yang Chen's spirit power. What followed was the frantic replenishment from the underground spirit vein. And afterwards, the absorption and transformation, which slowly restored Yang Chen's seventh metal cultivation to its previous state.

The upgraded quality spirit power was slowly being replenished. During the time of replenishment, Yang Chen's spirit sea finally transformed again.

The fifth earth layer was suddenly imbued with many golden particles, which were evenly distributed in the layer. These so called particles were precisely seventh metal and this distribution perfectly followed the principle of five phases engendering each other, with earth giving birth to metal.

Once this transformation happened, the spirit power within Yang Chen's body began to transform once again. The Fifth Earth True Qi, which he had already cultivated some time ago, now began to crazily increase the seventh metal spirit power.

The size of the spirit sea began to increase again. His spirit sea, which originally had an area of 100 mu, had now increased to 150 mu, directly breaking through the peak of initial YuanYing stage and entering the mid YuanYing stage.

At this stage, Yang Chen's spiritual awareness threads could cover the entire area with a radius of 10 miles surrounding the Second Fierce Yang Courtyard. In this area, nothing could be hidden from Yang Chen. Even if something was concealed from the main body of old tree demon, under the probe of Yang Chen's spiritual awareness threads nothing could be hidden.

Under the principle of earth giving rise to metal, the seventh metal spirit power continued to rise. With the Fifth Earth True Secrets and Fifth Earth True Qi in addition to the Seventh Metal True Secrets and Seventh Metal True Qi, within a brief period of a month, his seventh metal spirit power had successively broken through the fourth layer and fifth layer of the foundation stage, directly entering the sixth layer. With this increase, it was only second to his fourth fire spirit power, which was at the seventh layer of the foundation stage.

This situation hadn't even appeared even when Yang Chen had cultivated the Fifth Earth True Secrets. Apparently, even if the five phases can engender or subdue each other, this principle would only show the most effect when the spirit powers have equal status.

Great Yin and Yang Five Phases Secrets, of which he had already completed two, while there were still eight types of spirit powers remaining. But just these two types of spirit power had already increased his strength greatly. Now, Yang Chen was already expectant about how much would his strength increase after the Great Yin and Yang Five Phases Secrets had been completed.

This sudden increase in his cultivation made Yang Chen lament that if at this moment, he had a seventh metal attributed flying sword or perhaps a fifth earth attributed flying sword, he could use then the most primal Seventh Metal True Qi and Fifth Earth True Qi to refine them, then how great it would have been?

Unfortunately, among the two types of flying swords chosen as sword spirits, one was the Bright Ray Sword, which was of the third fire attribute and one was the Blood Phantom Vine, which was of the second wood attribute. Although he still the PengLai Divine Wood, it was already destined to be his first wood attribute flying sword. So that meant that he didn't have any seventh metal or fifth earth attributed flying swords.

Not only that, but he also didn't even have any seventh metal attributed or fifth earth attributed magic artifacts on himself. This itch on Yang Chen's hand was something which was difficult to endure but also couldn't be told to anyone.

Suddenly, Yang Chen had an idea. He thought of something which was seventh metal attributed. The clean bottle Medicine Garden's bottle cap, that dome containing a sword spell formation, was seventh metal attributed, perfect to use to test with.

Inside the hall under the dome, Mo Qian and her disciples were still continuously training without rest. During the time when he was concocting pills for more than a decade, Yang Chen hadn't looked for them even once. Fortunately, there was plenty of spirit power within the Medicine Garden, so there were no chances of any mishap.

But seeing them like this, Yang Chen didn't feel like it was appropriate and carefully shifted them within the medicine garden. He then made each of the JieDan experts consume a profound yang fruit.

As for YuanYing stage Mo Qian, fortunately, there were now many ten thousand years matured herbs in the Medicine Garden. Those profound yang fruits which were only a few thousand years matured were not very significant. Similarly, for a thousand year ginseng, she could only use one ginseng per month.

Yang Chen had tried many methods, but the consciousness of Mo Qian and her disciples remained unchanged as it had already been thoroughly destroyed by Yang Chen's blood river. Although they had memories and could work according to Yang Chen's instructions, they would never take the initiative to do anything.

They had continued to cultivate for so many years without sparing any effort only because Yang Chen had instructed them to do so. After such a long time, their cultivation had also increased, maybe even faster compared to when they had consciousness.

However, Yang Chen didn't feel any kind of pity towards Mo Qian and her disciples. They had destroyed the lives of so many people using the memory search technique, so they could only blame themselves for their current situation.

On the dome floating over the main hall, there wasn't anything other than the forty nine flying swords which were continuously spiraling around.

Holding the bottle cap in his hand, Yang Chen first prepared a large number of profound yang fruits, he then placed the obsidian mat above the underground spirit vein. Only after preparing everything did he allow his consciousness to enter the bottle lid.

He couldn't help but be cautious. When he had first refined the Medicine Garden after using a tremendous amount of strength, that time, there was still these forty nine high grade flying sword. So presently, even though his cultivation had greatly increased and his spiritual awareness had reached the mid YuanYing stage, he was still very cautious.

Since he had already branded his spiritual awareness imprint on the bottle lid, he could easily use his spiritual awareness to enter the dome shaped bottle lid. After examining it once, a magnified image of the dome shaped bottle lid appeared within his spirit sea.

It had to be said that the person who had created this Medicine Garden was an incredible expert. Although the materials used had some deficiency, his refining technique had almost reached perfection, the whole structure was completely flawless.

What Yang Chen wanted to do was to use the Heavenly Stars Treasure Refining Secrets. Last time, the bottle had only been refined to the first layer of the Heavenly Stars Treasure Refining Secrets, who knows whether the domed lid could be refined to even higher levels.

The seventh metal spirit power slowly began to enter the domed lid under the directions of the Heavenly Stars Treasure Refining Secrets and began to refine the main hall. Whether it was because his cultivation had increased greatly or because his spiritual awareness had increased greatly, this time, refining the first layer of Heavenly Stars Treasure Refining Secrets wasn't that difficult and was completed within half a month.

Yang Chen sensed that he still had energy left, so with the intention to strike while the iron was hot, he immediately began to refine the second layer. At the second layer, the difficulty had increased greatly. The grade of the Medicine Garden was already very high and was basically only made for YuanYing stage experts to use. So with Yang Chen's strength at the foundation stage, the difficulty in refining it had somewhat increased.

However, with the support of an unending stream of spirit power, in addition to the great proficiency of Yang Chen's technique, after spending three whole months, Yang Chen was finally able to complete the refining of the second layer of the Heavenly Stars Treasure Raising Secrets.

The spirit power formed with Seventh Metal True Qi had already entered the domed hall. Many dark golden coloured specks were moving in and out of the hall, the spirit power had also become even purer.

Yang Chen still didn't have the ability to refine the forty flying swords' sword spell formation. However, he was already delighted by the transformation of the hall. Its structure became even more stable and the spirit power became even more pure. As for the increase in the defensive power, it could even be seen with just the naked eyes.

Since the Heavenly Stars Treasure Raising Secrets had already been refined to the second layer, Yang Chen decided to add oil to fire by using the Earth Fiend Sacrificial Spell Secrets and refine the domed hall to its first layer.

The result this time was even more obvious. The first layer of Earth Fiend Spell Formation had already arranged those dark golden specks properly. Now if someone were to attack, the defense that was formed completely with Seventh Metal True Qi and was much tougher.

After completing it, Yang Chen habitually refined it once using the Universal Treasure Raising Secrets. Afterwards, when he saw the domed lid, the transformations were clear.

The colour of the lid, which wasn't very eye catching before, had suddenly turned heterogeneous after the refining. In other words, it had become much darker. And sometimes, dark golden colour lights would flash from the lid, making it even more mysterious.

Looking at the domed hall, which had not only been imprinted with his spiritual awareness, but had also been passed through his refining, Yang Chen suddenly became expectant. If someone could rush in to give it a try, then that would be great. Unfortunately, someone attacking the Second Fierce Yang Courtyard was simply a joke.

Since the domed hall had been successfully refined to the second layer of Heavenly Stars and the first layer of Earth Fiend, Yang Chen took out the Medicine Garden and began to refine it to the second layer of Heavenly Stars and the first layer of Earth Fiend as well, only this time, Yang Chen had used fifth earth spirit power.

The fifth earth soil within the Medicine Garden was even more profound. This was the most primal kind of soil and was simply the best kind of foundational base for those legendary herbs. Just this time's refining had allowed all the ingredients within the Medicine Garden to increase in maturation by several decades in one year. As for those newly planted legendary herbs, their roots became even more firm, thus removing the risk of them dying due to carelessness during the process of transplantation.

All of this seemed to happen in an instant, but seven months had already passed. This time's closed door training of cultivating Seventh Metal True Qi and refining the Medicine Garden and dome had consumed a total of more than one year.

This time, Heavenly Roar had slept for an even longer period of time, but after waking up, there were slight transformations in his appearance. His body had become much thinner and he had grown a bit longer. However, he still didn't resemble that of a dragon. The bloodline of the Yazi probably haven't been completely aroused yet.

Indeed, as Yang Chen had expected, Heavenly Roar was madly licking the Bright Ray Sword which had already begun to transform. The most obvious transformation was that the sword blade had become many degrees shaper compared to before. This wasn't the acuteness gained due to his seventh metal attribute upgrading, but rather, was purely due to the amplification by the Yazi's bloodline.

Yang Chen would naturally not favor one and discriminate against others, so he also placed the second wood flying sword near Heavenly Roar. Clearly, the second wood sword formed from the Blood Phantom Vine was of a higher grade compared to Bright Ray Sword, so once Heavenly Roar licked it, he didn't care about the Bright Ray Sword anymore. Apparently, in the future, if he wished to strengthen his flying swords, he would have to give them to him in the order of increasing grade every time.

After such a long closed door training, Yang Chen had also become somewhat gloomy, so he decided to call his master and take a stroll in the nearby city market, to relieve his boredom as well as to see if he could gain any profits. Naturally, the most important thing was to take a look at the condition of Shangguan Feng's small store.

But Gao Yue didn't accompanied him to go to the Thousand Autumn Pavilion, so Yang Chen walked the whole journey by himself, not interested in using the flying sword.

However, once he came out of Pure Yang Palace and was near the Thousand Autumn Pavilion, Yang Chen sensed something peculiar in the atmosphere. Apparently, someone had been keeping watch on everyone within the city market. Moreover, it wasn't just a single person, rather, a group of many people, at least 20-30 people.

These people appeared to be rogue cultivators, but their cultivation wasn't very weak, with the weakest of them at the mid foundation stage. However, the strongest also wasn't very strong and was only at the peak foundation stage and hadn't reached JieDan stage yet. They were scattered everywhere, some had set up vendor stalls, some were shopping, but their eyes were all over the place.

Chapter 210- Enemies Come Knocking

07 Sep 2017

Cultivators tend to habitually use spiritual awareness to probe around themselves, so they were not very suspicious towards the types of gazes which seem to examine them accidently. Especially the few vendors and shop owners who might be probing their surroundings while looking for potential customers. This kind of probing wouldn't be regarded as a major thing.

But what Yang Chen was weird was that, perhaps because his spiritual awareness was very powerful, he wondered if those people were intentionally or otherwise acting strange, which was also the reason they were caught by Yang Chen.

From the moment, Yang Chen stepped foot in the market lane where Thousand Autumn Pavilion was present, there were many gazes on him. There was no need to speak out about Yang Chen's reputation within the Pure Yang Palace. As long as one was a disciple of the Pure Yang Palace, they would immediately recognize Yang Chen. With many disciples of the Pure Yang Palace moving around here, countless people had approached him to greet him.

After finishing being greeted by his fellow disciples, Yang Chen started to slowly stroll around the market. However, even though, he had met with many fellow disciples just now, Yang Chen still didn't relax his attention on those people.

From the time Yang Chen entered Thousand Autumn Pavilion, a cheerful expression appeared in the eyes of these people. But no one did any inappropriate conduct and continued with their own work. Only sometimes, they would use meaningful glances to communicate with each other.

However, none of them used spiritual awareness. These people were extremely cautious. Moreover, despite concentrating their gazes on Yang Chen, none of them had any evil intentions, much less any killing intent. This point gave him slight relief. Perhaps they had only heard Yang Chen's name and wanted to ask for some elixir? Likewise, perhaps they just wanted to meet him or maybe some other such irrelevant reason?

Previously, since the Second Fierce Yang Courtyard had opened that small shop, the disciples of the sect refrained from using things from Thousand Autumn Pavilion. But afterwards, when Shangguan Feng finally opened a shop here, the Thousand Autumn Pavilion was once again full of disciples of the Pure Yang Palace.

On his whole journey, Yang Chen hadn't found anything which attracted him. The Thousand Autumn Pavilion was basically a shop opened by Pure Yang Palace and mainly relied on selling things used by qi layer cultivators and the foundation stage disciples appearing here was quite rare, so finding nothing good was absolutely normal. But after Shangguan Feng had opened his shop here, it had attracted the interest of many foundation stage cultivators.

Those people whom Yang Chen found queer, would occasionally raise their heads and take a quick look at Yang Chen and then would hurriedly shift away their gazes, busying themselves in their work. Yang Chen also didn't pay them much attention and after strolling around for some time, he directly entered Shangguan Feng's store.

The range of this shop wasn't very large and was only extended to an area of 2 mu. Inside, it was divided into several halls with each receiving people of different grades. Shangguan Feng had specifically found experienced disciples of the sect to be assistants here. From dressing to knowledge, all these assistants were completely professional.

All the assistants knew Yang Chen and immediately, someone asked him to go to the rear hall to see the main shopkeeper Shangguan Feng. Shangguan Feng was in the middle of exchanging goods for spirit stones with a client, when he saw Yang Chen come in, he signaled for him to wait. Soon, after sending away the customer, he came back to talk with Yang Chen.

"Is it convenient to talk here?"

Yang Chen casually asked. Shangguan Feng understood his meaning and immediately placed his hand on some object, immediately more than ten layers of restrictions were set up.

"It's good."

Shangguan Feng nodded, indicating that Yang Chen could speak safely.

"In the market, I saw some strange people."

Yang Chen didn't hide his observations from Shangguan Feng. Initially, he had just come to relieve his boredom. Seeing those suspicious people, he naturally had to ask. This was Yang Chen's property and those people were all foundation stage cultivators so he had to get protective.

After Yang Chen had pointed out the characteristics of those people one by one, Shangguan Feng immediately understood and began to tell him about the history of those people. Yang Chen was surprised to hear that those people weren't new here, rather they were elders who had already stayed at Thousand Autumn Pavilion for several years, after Shangguan Feng had opened his shop, they had grown even more courteous.

"Perhaps I was just overthinking."

Yang Chen shook his head, he was confused about those elders living here for several years. Moreover, seeing the amount of businesses here, there shouldn't be any big problem with such things. Apparently, he was just being overly cautious.

These several years, the business was completely handled by Shangguan Feng, and Yang Chen only knew that the profits were astonishing, but he hadn't cared about it much. Immersed within the business, Shangguan Feng's cultivation had increased step by step and had become more formidable compared to last time, and his temperament completely matched that of a businessman.

Within the market, there were many rumors always spreading around, Yang Chen also heard about some news from Shangguan Feng. He was surprised to hear that the affair between him and Shi Shanshan had already been spread between many people. Many accomplished cultivators seemed to be greatly dissatisfied upon hearing that Shi Shanshan had become Yang Chen's dao companion, so whether overtly or covertly, they just wanted to cause trouble for Yang Chen.

From the time this news was released from Green Jade Immortal Islands, Yang Chen had been mentally prepared that he would certainly become the target of multitudes of arrows. He also couldn't do anything about it. Shi Shanshan was indeed too outstanding, so people couldn't help but feel jealous. Even though now Yang Chen was a pill concocting master with boundless future, it was still the same. Among the young cultivators, no one would willingly accept that they were inferior to others.

Even though he knew about this, after hearing from Shangguan Feng about the number of people cursing him everywhere, Yang Chen could only force a bitter smile. Fortunately, Sun Qingxue still hadn't revealed her affair, otherwise in the future, apart from Pure Yang Palace, anywhere he went, people would be plotting against him.

Everything regarding business was perfectly normal, there was also nothing which captured Yang Chen's interest here. So after roaming around Thousand Autumn Pavilion for some time, he decided to return.

Yang Chen had decided the plan he would follow after returning. First, he would collect all kinds materials for flying swords and then think about collecting all kinds of most primal true qi, perfectly fitting with true secrets of all types of spirit power and complete his Great Yin and Yang five phases secrets.

Cultivation must also be increased, but he wasn't so anxious as to use those legendary herbs he had recently obtained and just wanted to let nature run its course. In his heart, Yang Chen was strongly against relying on these external supports to increase his cultivation. This kind of increase was inferior to the sturdiness which came from his own effort.

While returning, Yang Chen intended to walk on foot again. Although the distance was a few hundred miles and would require a full ten days of time, it would also allow him to relax for sometime. Likewise, he wouldn't have to prepare his mind for cultivation every day.

Whether it was the influence of Shi Shanshan or something else, recently, Yang Chen was always in the mood to drink tea, but he always felt it was not enough to satisfy his craving and was not equal to good wine which would let him become free. Unfortunately, he didn't have any good wine on himself right now, seemingly in the future, he must add some brewed wine to his itinerary.

On the third night on the return journey, when Yang Chen took shelter from the wind and used his Profound Spirit Furnace to brew some tea, he felt that there was some abnormality in his surroundings. A week killing intent suffused in his surroundings and slowly focused on him.

"I wonder, which fellow daoist has come."

Since Yang Chen didn't sense strong killing intent, so he raised his teacup and said in that direction loudly.

"I just wanted to see what kind of character the future pill concocting master of Pure Yang Palace that also obtained the grace of Fairy Shi had!"

Following the voice, a figure slowly came out of the forest from that side.

Yang Chen had heard from Shangguan Feng that many young cultivators were resentful towards him just few days ago and now already one had appeared. The person was bright and handsome, manner like jade. At a first glance, he seemed like an elegant son of some noble, continuously fanning himself with a folding fan, but his cold gaze was fixed on Yang Chen. That trace of killing intent was could be seen clearly in his eyes. "Myself is not so great a character for fellow daoist to pay close attention to."

Yang Chen faintly laughed, he had no interest in this character who was turning green with jealousy, but he still hadn't forgotten his manners and distantly picked his cup and asked:

"Would you like to have some tea?"

"Hmph, stop worming your way into becoming friends!"

The other party closed his folding fan and coldly stated:

"Take out your flying sword, let's compare pointers and see who wins and who loses, let's see who is more worthy of becoming Fairy Shi's dao companion!"

"Myself admits defeat!"

Yang Chen admitted his lost without any hesitation, he was a grand Great Principal Golden Immortal in his previous life, so fighting with this foundation stage youngster who was just jealous of him would lose him face. Moreover, he had always admitted defeat in this kind of nonsensical challenges. If you just want to compare notes then he would just admit defeat, the only kind of battles he would fight were life and death duels, this had always been Yang Chen's philosophy.

This genius who had been prepared to fight was completely shocked by Yang Chen's reply. Just now, he had collected his fan and taken out his flying sword but the enemy hadn't even made a single movement and directly admitted defeat, how could a high and mighty genius like him accept that? However, since the other party had already admitted defeat, how could he continue to pester Yang Chen with his face?

"How can you admit defeat?"

After being distracted for a moment, the genius barked towards Yang Chen:

"As the person whom Fairy Shi has fallen for, how can you cower before a fight? How did you get in Fairy Shi's good graces?"

"If you want to him to move, you have to issue a life or death duel!"

A lofty voice suddenly echoed.

"Who is this?" The young genius was stunned, where did this person appear from, surprisingly, he couldn't even sense anything. He could clearly imagine this person's cultivation.

An octagonal golden seal the size of a table suddenly and violently swept toward the ground with a deafening sound. Falling from the sky, it had directly rushed towards that genius's skull.

That genius, having been prepared to compare pointers with Yang Chen with his already unsheathed flying sword, without any hesitation, directly raised it to counter the golden seal flying at him from the sky.

What surprised Yang Chen most was that when the flying sword connected with that golden seal, the sword wasn't of any use and was directly turned away. The power of golden seal wasn't affected in any way by that sword.

Bang, the genius, together with his flying sword, was smashed into the ground. He didn't even have the time to scream.

From beginning to the end, Yang Chen sat at one side and calmly sipped tea without any kind of movement, as if the later appearance of this expert was completely within his expectations.

The golden seal, having fallen on the ground, became smaller and flew into the sky. However, Yang Chen still calmly drank tea without even raising his head.

"Nice guts!" From the sky, a silhouette slowly came down on his flying sword and dropped ten feet away from Yang Chen. He coldly said:

"No wonder, you dared to mess with the Devil Flame Valley's auction."

Yang Chen saw the other party's appearance clearly. A cold expressionless middle aged man containing a trace of serene killing intent within his gaze, but his restraint was very good, not even a bit of it leaked out.

When the other party mentioned Devil Flame Valley, Yang Chen immediately knew that this matter was related to the young master he had killed. Although not many people in the Great Hundred Thousand Mountain knew of Yang Chen, they also probably didn't know much of the matter with Gao Yue. After investigation for several decades, someone had finally come to find Yang Chen.

Even though this was sudden, it was still under Yang Chen's expectations. When he was at the Great Hundred Thousand Mountain, he had already realized that the auction house had a powerful backer, but he hadn't carefully investigated who it was. Under his fury, when his master was injured, how could he release the young master and manager of auction house? Even if he knew who it was, he would still have taken that person's head.

Now, since the enemy had come to his door, he certainly wouldn't have come to negotiate. The person who had come before Yang Chen was unexpectedly a YuanYing stage expert. It seemed like the enemy had spent great amount of effort to take care of Yang Chen.

Thinking about it now, those people he had found peculiar in the market would be this enemy's manpower. This enemy also had great patience and knew that it wouldn't be good to move around in the territory of Pure Yang Palace arrogantly, so he had only sent some foundation stage people here to keep a look out waiting for an opportunity to find Yang Chen alone.

"Seems like you people have spent great effort!"

Yang Chen finally collected his tea cup, but he remained seated without any intention of standing.

"Seven years ago, we had already investigated your role, however we didn't have the opportunity to do anything."

The man with cold appearance sneered:

"All these years, your reputation has increased more and more, our clan master wants to see you once. If you can satisfy our clan master, then the matter of killing those people can be written off in one stroke."

The enemy had already known about Yang Chen, but not daring to be rash in Pure Yang Palace's territory was absolutely normal. But now, this cold appearing man's words had surprised Yang Chen.

The hatred of killing one's son can surprisingly be forgotten? Yang Chen asked himself. If he had been in the enemy's position, it would have basically been impossible. But the enemy clearly valued Yang Chen's talent in the field of pill concocting. The person behind these words certainly deserved the evaluation of being a ruthless and ambitious person.

"Sorry, not interested!"

While remaining seated, Yang Chen calmly shook his head.

"Doesn't matter!"

The cold person replied with same calmness:

"My clan master has said, if you are not willing to go then it would be the same thing to just take your head to him."

"I am afraid my head is busy, so it won't get the opportunity."

Attentively watching the enemy, Yang Chen replied without being anxious.

"This is beyond your control!"

The other person coldly laughed:

"If you are hoping that someone from the Pure Yang Palace will save you then don't. In the perimeter of three hundred miles, there are no living person. I will give you another opportunity. My clan master is fond of talented people. If you come, it will certainly be to your own benefit."

"When did YuanYing stage experts became such naggy people?"

Yang Chen impatiently berated him.

"Courting death!"

The cold man didn't say anything more after spitting out those words. With just one thought, that golden seal, which had already disappeared, appeared again in the sky and smashed down towards Yang Chen's place with great power.

Yang Chen didn't make any move, but when the golden seal was a few feet away from Yang Chen, it suddenly knocked against a shield of golden light and emitted a loud sound.

Chapter 211- Expert's Turn To Be Surprised

07 Sep 2017

Note:umm, I intended to release the chapter on 3rd but my editor's timezone had almost a difference on 12 hours compared to me, so while waiting for him to come up, I slept and forgot to tell him to edit and then came 5th, where same thing happened, so I got it edited yesterday this time. This would be the chapters for 3rd, 5th and today. Hopefully next can come out day after tomorrow and I will also try to make that schedule, 1 chapter in every alternate day for now.

Under the astonished gaze of that cold man, the golden coloured domed palace hall appeared, covering Yang Chen's entire body inside. The enormous golden seal directly smashed against on top of the domed hall. Spark flickered out but the domed hall wasn't damaged.

"Humph, just relying on one defensive magic weapon, you dare to be so arrogant?"

After discovering Yang Chen's support, the cold man sneered, his figure suddenly rushed forward, following along the perimeter of the domed hall.

Under the control of the cold man, the golden seal rose incessantly and then smashed fiercely on the domed hall again and again. But regardless of how he attacked, the domed hall was like a steel cast, not moving a single jot, there was not even any traces of attack left on it.

On the contrary, after continuously smashing down several times, several scratch marks appeared on the golden seal. After discovering this fact, regret appeared in the heart of that cold man, he had spent a lot of time refining this golden seal, if it got damaged like this, then the gains would certainly not make up for the losses.

Seeing Yang Chen holed up within the turtle shell gave a headache to the cold man, since he couldn't find any method to deal with him.

He was a majestic YuanYing stage expert, but surprisingly, he couldn't deal with a foundation stage youngster with a body protecting treasure, how could he endure this? Within the Hundred Thousand Mountains, he was considered a lofty figure who always kept his word, could it be that he was going to fail to do so at this MeiQing Mountain?

Since Yang Chen was already holed up and he couldn't do anything, so it need not be said that the only choice that the cold man had was to retreat. Since Yang Chen was so confident, then he certainly must have notified the experts of Pure Yang Palace, if he couldn't deal with Yang Chen in a short period of time, then apart from retreating, there wasn't another option.

He had dared to behave so atrociously in the sect watched by a Da Cheng stage expert, even though the Dacheng stage expert was rumored to have weak cultivation, a Dacheng stage expert was a Dacheng stage expert, not something a YuanYing stage expert like him could contend against. Furthermore, the Pure Yang Palace also had several YuanYing stage experts, while he was alone, he couldn't simply oppose the entire Pure Yang Palace.

While he was contemplating whether to retreat or not, he surprisingly discovered a fatal weakness of the domed hall. The defense of the great hall was sufficient, but that great hall had openings in four direction, so anyone could go in anytime.

"The trick you used was formidable, but it had such a fatal weakness, seems like even the Heavens wants you to die. Who could stop your death then!"

The cold man burst out laughing and hooted these few words, before directly entering the great hall.

"Alas!"

Sitting at the center of the great hall, his mind seemed to be controlling the defense of this hall. Seeing the cold man charge in, Yang Chen shook his head in pity and took a long sigh:

"The Heavens provided you a road to life but you didn't take it, hell doesn't have any doors yet you burst in, you yourself are courting death so don't blame other people!"

"Looks like you still don't want to admit your mistake!"

The cold man sneered, without the least bit of hesitation, he figure directly flew towards Yang Chen. His master had ordered him to capture Yang Chen alive if possible, if he can't, then return with Yang Chen's head. Now, Yang Chen was just sitting on one side, giving the cold man a perfect opportunity to capture himself.

"For every grievance someone is responsible, for every debt there is a debtor, fellow daoist, please be on your way!"

Looked at the figure rushing towards him, a trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes and he immediately spoke out his catch phrase before killing people.

As soon as Yang Chen, said these words, the cold man also felt something was wrong. The golden seal which he had already collected back, appeared like a huge shield in front of his body.

Ding ding ding ding, after a series of concentrated collision like a torrential rain, countless nicks appeared on the cold man's golden seal. While at the same time, countless flying sword also appeared behind his body, forcing him to release his own flying sword and obstruct the attack of those flying swords with incomparable difficulty.

"Seven Steps Bewitching Killing Spell, fellow daoist, if you can break this spell formation, then myself will go with you."

Yang Chen remained leisurely seated at the center of the great hall, looking at the countless swords crazily attacking the confused cold man. He continued in the same tone:

"But if fellow daoist can't break through this spell, then next year, this day will be your death anniversary!"

Forty nine flying swords, all of which were highest grade flying sword used by YuanYing stage experts, under the effects of the sword spell, their power had increased crazily.

How could the cold man, surrounded within the spell, pay attention to Yang Chen's mocking tone, he taken out all his body protecting magic weapons to protect himself from the swords, but even then, he couldn't completely safeguard himself from the swords and was totally at a loss.

Presently, the cold man was repenting, why was he so greedy and muddleheaded to believe that such a formidable defensive magic weapon had such a fatal flaw? Even if it seemed like a flaw, it was clearly a deadly trap. If he had known about this earlier, then he would have promptly retreated and wouldn't be in such sorry position.

Yang Chen also secretly exclaimed in admiration. Actually, under the Seven Step Bewitching Killer Spell, this cold man had preserved for the longest time. Naturally, this was because of his cultivation.

Previously, among the trapped people, the most powerful ones had a cultivation of JieDan stage, so they basically couldn't do anything in front of this sword spell formed from forty nine high grade swords used by YuanYing stage experts and would immediately die. But now, this person himself was at YuanYing stage, moreover, he seemed to be late YuanYing stage, so he had the ability to stop the successive attacks.

However, this was all he could do. He had used all his defensive magic weapons, including that golden seal, which was all covered with countless nicks. Few of the low grade magic weapons were already approaching the point of breaking down.

While Yang Chen sighed seeing this, the sound of a flying sword and protective armour breaking echoed in the hall and both of them immediately turned into pieces. With two less defensive magic weapons, the cold man had even more difficulty in defending his left and right side. In just a moment of carelessness, a flying sword immediately discovered the gap and penetrated his arm.

The sharp pain made the cold man yell loudly and while he was slightly distracted, that golden seal was pierced by series of flying sword turning it into an enormous seal with holes all over.

This golden seal was his most beloved magic weapon, and it was comparable to his destined magic weapon, but after it got damaged by those flying sword, the cold man's spiritual awareness immediately suffered a backlash.

Under these dire circumstances, the cold man couldn't do anything to reverse the tide. He had only preserved for five more breath's time, when the golden seal was turned into pieces by more than a dozen flying swords. On his side, the cold man didn't have anymore formidable weapon which could compare to the golden seal.

"Despicable!"

The cold man knew that he had reached his limit. He cursed towards Yang Chen while doing his utmost to endure.

"Indeed, but not as despicable as a late YuanYing stage expert coming to deal with a foundation stage youngster like me!"

Yang Chen sneered:

"Don't worry and be on your journey, senior!"

Under the gaze of that cold man, these forty nine swords were like blood hungry wolves flocking around him. Before his body had even fallen on ground, it had already turned into pieces.

"Seems like I will have to go to Hundred Thousand Mountains to settle this issue, once and for all."

Yang Chen looked at the ground filled with body parts and called out the five JieDan stage females cultivating in the great hall of the Medicine Garden, with just one thought from him, those females began to clear up the mess and gather the spoils. As for Yang Chen, he began to think the consequences caused by this matter.

This time when the enemy had come, he wanted to intimidate Yang Chen and wanted him to serve the enemy in the the field of pill concocting. But now, after Yang Chen had killed the late YuanYing stage expert, there was no room for negotiations in this matter. The enemy would certainly go crazy and retaliate against Yang Chen and the people close to him.

If he was the only one to suffer from attacks, then Yang Chen wasn't scared, but he was afraid that something might happen to Gao Yue. Last time, Gao Yue had already suffered injuries at the Hundred Thousand Mountains, if she suffered a mishap again because of this incident, then Yang Chen absolutely wouldn't be able to forgive himself.

As for today, it was just the scout before the enemy launched a full scale retaliation attack. In any case, if those guys injured Gao Yue, that wouldn't be a good thing. At that time, Yang Chen was worried about Gao Yue, so he hadn't eliminated the threat completely. But now, it was time to settle this matter once and for all.

Other matters could wait but this one couldn't. Yang Chen immediately began to ponder regarding dealing with these people. Naturally, the most important thing was to inform the sect about this matter so that they could also be on their guard.

This YuanYing stage expert didn't have anything good on himself. That man seemed to have spent a lot of time on the golden seal and allowed it to become as powerful as his destined magic weapon, but it was still not his destined magic weapon, so it being inferior to the sword spell was completely normal.

However, the materials refined to make the golden seal were quite rare. Unfortunately, the YuanYing stage expert's level in refining tools was so so. Although it could be used to bully those young geniuses, when compared to a genuine high grade magic weapon, it was extremely inferior.

Naturally, the broken golden seal was kept, along with all kinds of magic weapons on his body and his qiankun pouch, nothing was left behind, everything was taken. Even his flesh and blood weren't wasted, the Blood Phantom Vine was still very weak and this kind of expert's blood and flesh was perfect as a supplement. Although the effects weren't very powerful, it was better than nothing.

"A person from Hundred Thousand Mountains?"

Palace Master Zhong Jiao calmly heard Yang Chen's narration. After a moment, he raised his head:

"Convene all the elders, then tell them the details of the story."

This time, Pure Yang Palace had fallen under the lust of a great power. Moreover, a bloody battle was quite possible. The enemy had been a hegemon in the Hundred Thousand Mountains for many years, his strength couldn't be belittled. All the elders had come except was Wang Yong who was refining his destined magic weapon in seclusion. When the elders looked at Yang Chen, they seemed to be slightly surprised. It had just been few days after he had cured senior black tiger's injury, they were wondering what kind of big matter had Yang Chen caused this time? Apart from elders, several hall masters had also been called. This matter concerned the security of Pure Yang Palace, so naturally, they were thorough. "Yang Chen, you tell them about the matter, don't forget any details."

Palace Master Zhong Jiao didn't waste any time after seeing that everyone had arrived and directly instructed Yang Chen.

"Yes, Palace Master!"

Yang Chen bowed and saluted all the elders, then he began to tell them about this matter from the beginning.

Hearing that 25 years ago, when Yang Chen had just reached the foundation stage, together with She Kui and Xie Sha, he had razed the Hao Yi mansion at the Hundred Thousand Mountain to ground. Moreover, had also destroyed the Devil Flame Valley's auction house and killed the manager and young master, even if the temperament of these elders and hall masters had toughened recently after all these big matters, all of them were astonished. Each and every one of them was stunned and looked at Yang Chen stupified.

Only, the hall master of Eccentric Hall, Gui Shanyou wasn't the slightest bit perturbed, this was something, he had experienced so there was no need to make a fuss about it.

Killing four peak YuanYing stage experts of Hao Yi mansion, moreover, returning back with a Dacheng stage expert, Gui Shanyou, doing all of this when he was just at the initial foundation stage. When he reaches JieDan stage, or YuanYing stage, what kind of accomplishments would he have then?

Despite being shocked, they became cautious after hearing Yang Chen's words. If the enemy really turned to the disciples of Pure Yang Palace to fulfill his revenge against Yang Chen, then it would certainly be a disaster. These people of Hundred Thousand Mountains shouldn't be taken lightly.

Everyone was thinking about this matter, no one said anything. The hall master of Law Enforcement Hall, Meng Xian, asked him after some time:

"Are you certain, you killed a late YuanYing stage expert? What kind of weapons did he use?"

Meng Xian couldn't help but be suspicious, even if Yang Chen was very outstanding, he was only at the late foundation stage. Moreover, he had only reached this level recently. Even if this cultivation speed greatly surpassed many people, hearing that Yang Chen had killed a late YuanYing stage expert by himself, Meng Xian didn't dare to believe it.

"Maybe, you were anxious about the battle and had mistaken the enemy's cultivation!"

Speaking this time was the hall master of Luminous Moon Hall, Lian Shaoming. During the time he was punished to be in seclusion, Liang Shaoming had already planned the cultivation of the flying sword which would be his destined magic weapon, his cultivation also seemed to become formidable compared to before. Although his voice was calm, it was full of suspicion towards Yang Chen.

Yang Chen didn't reply, but took out the golden seal which was in a disastrous state and gave it to Meng Xian. After taking the golden seal, Meng Xian was immediately startled and raised his head to look at Yang Chen with some astonishment in his eyes, only then did he lower his head and begin to observe the golden seal properly.

This golden seal couldn't be refined by ordinary people, also, not everyone could use it. It was different from the sword spell in Yang Chen's domed hall, the sword spell could used anytime as long as the Medicine Garden had sufficient spirit power. But this golden seal required an expert to control it, if one isn't at YuanYing stage, then he could forget about controlling it.

After Meng Xian had looked over it, he passed it to Palace Master Zhong Jiao. Soon after, all of them observed it once and each and everyone's gazes changed after observing it.

How many formidable flying sword did Yang Chen use to destroy the golden seal to such a state? This was the first time Yang Chen had revealed a bit of his strength in front of all the elders and palace master and all of them were looking at Yang Chen in shock!

Naturally, they had another expression. All of them could see that the material used to make this golden seal was certainly not ordinary. The golden seal had been damaged to this state because of the disparity in level of tool refining, however, the material used was extremely precious. It was a guarantee that anyone who possessed this golden seal could make a high grade flying sword from it.

Unfortunately, this golden seal was Yang Chen's loot.

Chapter 212- Worth Or Not Worth Fighting For

28 Sep 2017

Many years ago, there had been a debate in Pure Yang Palace about the ownership of treasures found by disciples. That time, it was decided that any treasure found by a disciple would belong to him.

This golden seal was Yang Chen's spoil of war, so naturally, it belonged in Yang Chen's pouch. It would be impossible for others to snatch it forcefully, even if they wanted to. The only method was to find some way to purchase it or obtain it from Yang Chen according to his wishes.

In comparison, it would be simpler to use the last two methods since it was impossible to forcefully snatch it from Yang Chen. After all, Yang Chen had a lot of treasures, and he had fire attributed spirit root, so he wouldn't care much about a metal attributed tool refining material.

This could be taken up later, as presently, the priority for the sect's elders was the matter of Hundred Thousand Mountains. Soon, everyone's attention returned back from the affair of Yang Chen killing a YuanYing stage expert to discussing the necessary countermeasures.

"If the people of Hundred Thousand Mountain publicly declare war against our Pure Yang Palace, then we will not rest until they are all dead."

The first person to open his mouth was Lin Yunfeng, who clearly stated his position:

"Moreover, they were the ones who had attacked the disciple of my Pure Yang Palace first, so reasonable justification is also not on their side. Additionally, we must send the message that any outsider cannot causally bully our disciples!"

Although the people of Pure Yang Palace were not usually tyrannical, when facing this type of matter, the first thought of the majority of the people would be to defend the interests of sect's disciples. Even elder Lin Yunfeng, who looked unfavourably on Yang Chen, was of the same mind. His grudge was his own personal business, but outsiders bullying the disciples of their sect would absolutely not be forgiven.

"Yes, not only had those people broken the rule of their own auction house and attacked the disciple of our sect first, they had also dared to try and kill a disciple of my Pure Yang Palace at MeiQing Mountain. Do they really think that we will not retaliate?"

Immediately another elder continued in a righteous tone.

"Right now, we are not certain of how the Hundred Thousand Mountain would react, if we start declaring mortal enemies like this, then we would invite the ridicule of others for no reason."

Said another elder:

"Let's not take any action for the time being and see how the enemy responds?"

"Hundred Thousand Mountain had broken their own rules, naturally, they will also have other such debts. So temporarily, they certainly won't dare to take any large-scale action against our Pure Yang Palace."

Said Foreign Affair Hall's hall master Xu Chengxin:

"MeiQing Mountain is not Hundred Thousand Mountain, if they come to our territory to attack, the other sects and schools will also not tolerate it, so there is no need to panic."

"They broke their own rules and attacked the disciples of my sect first, we should not let them off lightly. However, when Yang Chen had killed their manager and young master, that was excessive."

Liang Shaoming immediately opened his mouth:

"So they also sent people to kill Yang Chen, thus it should even out now."

"What do you mean?"

After reaching YuanYing stage, Medicine Hall's hall master Zhu Chentao's confidence had increased greatly. Hearing Liang Shaoming's words, he immediately furrowed his brows.

"Since they had attacked using the reason of vengeance and hadn't affected any other people of the sect, then how can we all interfere?"

Liang Shaoming glanced at the Yang Chen, the only one standing in the room and then turned towards Zhu Chentao and continued:

"Since they insist on saying that this is a private matter between them, then it won't be good for the whole sect to interfere!"

"They attacked the disciple of my sect first, how can it be equaled out with just losing two lives?"

Zhu Chentao coldly snort:

"This time again, they entered my MeiQing Mountain, do you think that at the places of my Pure Yang Palace which aren't habited, anyone who wants to run amok can do so casually?"

"Naturally, the people of Hundred Thousand Mountains cannot get away with it, as long as a suitable opportunity arises, then naturally we must teach them a lesson."

However Liang Shaoming said using a virtuous cause, but his gaze again turned towards Yang Chen:

"But, is it the sect's intention to form enmity with Hundred Thousand Mountains?"

"Huh, do you think the disciples of Pure Yang Palace should allow all outsiders to plot against them?"

Yang Chen was furious, but before he could say anything, Zhu Chentao had already started speaking:

"What do you mean by these words?"

"I mean that after all is said and done, Gao Yue had gone to find materials to make a flying sword for her own disciple when she got attacked and later, Yang Chen went to quarrel with them."

Obviously, Liang Shaoming was targeting Yang Chen, he sneered:

"It is a private affair of these master and disciple, so why must they insist on dragging my sect into it and even if my sect personally steps in to save them, then they also shouldn't be let off lightly and must be disciplined by the sect. Otherwise, in the future, others will keep causing trouble when outside the sect, who will uphold the sect's rule?"

Liang Shaoming meant that the sect should assist Yang Chen and Gao Yue in enduring the pressure from outside, but within the sect, they should be punished.

"Uncle master Liang, when master went to find the materials for flying sword, it was under the orders of Palace Master."

Standing opposite to him, Yang Chen replied being neither servile nor overbearing:

"Could it be that uncle master Liang forgot that Palace Master had personally bestowed me with a flying sword?"

"When bestowing a flying sword to a foundation stage disciple, why must she insist on using such high grade materials?"

Liang Shaoming slowly said:

"Did the Palace Master say that such a high grade flying sword must be rewarded?"

"Good words, thanks for teaching me uncle master Liang."

An angry smile appeared on Yang Chen's face, looking straight at Liang Shaoming, he asked:

"Palace Master also didn't say to not bestow such a high grade flying sword!"

However, this also couldn't be retorted against. Palace Master Zhong Jiao had indeed conferred a flying sword on Yang Chen, but everyone had thought that it would be a normal flying sword.

As long as it is of fire attribute, it would be good. But, it was completely out of their expectation that Gao Yue would be willing to pay such price for Yang Chen's flying sword. However, Liang Shaoming also couldn't say anything, if he continued to pursue this question then he may end up offending Palace Master Zhong Jiao.

Previously, Palace Master's authority was weak so he had to keep cordial relations with Lin Yunfeng and the other elders, so they could easily sway Palace Master Zhong Jiao's decision.

But now, it was not the same, Wang Yong's strength had been greatly increased, his cultivation exceeded everyone. Furthermore, there was also the Dacheng stage expert Gui Shanyou, in addition to the successive accomplishments of Yang Chen.

All these things had allowed Pure Yang Palace's strength to increase greatly, allowing Palace Master's prestige to swell. Even Lin Yunfeng didn't dare to easily contradict him now, needless to say of Liang Shaoming.

"No need discuss this matter anymore. The Hundred Thousand Mountain had attacked first so it is their offense."

Sure enough, Palace Master Zhong Jiao's shot a glance towards Liang Shaoming and lightly gave the explanation:

"If it had been anyone else among you, then my decision would also have been the same. Regardless of whatever the cause is, we had followed the rules and gone to purchase something, but they attacked, so obviously, they are at fault."

Surely, Liang Shaoming didn't dare to say anything and could only ruthlessly stare at Yang Chen. In these few years, Yang Chen had left his mark, causing Liang Shaoming's resentment towards him to increase. He was even thinking of personally teach him a lesson. But, after hearing today that Yang Chen had surprisingly dealt with a YuanYing stage expert alone, he was restrained due to fear.

"Yang Chen, what do you think we should do?"

After giving his decision, Palace Master Zhong Jiao immediately turned to Yang Chen and asked.

"Disciple wants to know, if the power behind Hundred Thousand Mountains falls, could my sect control the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"

Yang Chen didn't speak for some time, but when he opened his mouth, he immediately gave a fright to everyone present.

The upper echelons of Pure Yang Palace were all aware that this disciple Yang Chen doesn't lie. He only speaks when he has 100% guarantee that he could achieve his objective.

But even then, hearing about controlling Hundred Thousand Mountain from behind the scenes astonished everyone present on the scene, including Liang Shaoming. Liang Shaoming was just pushed down by Palace Master Zhong Jiao, but hearing Yang Chen's words gave him a great fright.

Hundred Thousand Mountains, that famous dangerous region, dao cultivators, devil cultivators and demon cultivators, all gathered there. Even YuanYing stage experts would also have to be greatly cautious here. Not to mention other things, just the fact that even a formidable expert like old tree demon was silently staying there, clearly showed the fearfulness of the place.

That power behind the auction house controlled the majority of such a dangerous region. But now, Yang Chen suddenly asked whether Pure Yang Palace could control the Hundred Thousand Mountain or not, this…… this was simply a big joke.

"Ridiculous!"

After discovering that he had almost jumped because of fright and lost his cool, Liang Shaoming immediately yelled towards Yang Chen as if trying to remove his own embarrassment by lashing out at Yang Chen:

"Too arrogant!"

Although Liang Shaoming had loudly yelled in front of everyone, moreover, everyone also knew what he thought of Yang Chen. This time, no one felt that Liang Shaoming had said anything inappropriate.

How can a place like Hundred Thousand Mountains be so easy to control? Even though it lacks spirit power, it had abundant natural resources. In the past, for so many years, no dao sect had the idea to control it, even the sects like Greatest Heaven Sect or Five Phases Sect was the same. Didn't this clearly illustrate the problem?

Not to mention other things, just the position of this place was greatly troublesome. Being at the boundary of regions controlled by all three powers including dao sects, devil sects, and demon race, it was also quite distant from all the sects. Any YuanYing stage expert who doesn't have magic weapons like Yang Chen and Wang Yong, which could boost speed, would take at least one month's time for a one way journey. So if some problem arises, the experts of the sects may not be able to arrive timely.

Moreover, the power structure of this place was also quite complex, so only a few YuanYing stage expert certainly couldn't subdue everyone. Even Hao Yi manor, which had four peak stage YuanYing experts, had to rely on the power behind the auction house and curry favour with the clan's young master to live comfortably.

Originally, after taking everything into account, Pure Yang Palace only had eight YuanYing stage experts. Even if they included a formidable expert like Gui Shanyou, She Kui and Xie Sha, also adding in Zhu Chentao who had recently reached YuanYing stage, the Pure Yang Palace only had one Dacheng stage expert and eleven YuanYing stage expert.

Even if they used their full strength to fight, they could at most control a small corner in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. As for controlling the whole Hundred Thousand Mountain, that was just a dream within a dream.

Besides, before thinking about anything else, there was also the power behind auction house, which won't be destroyed so easily. Yang Chen's words indeed were quite unreasonable.

"You tell me, what happens if we can control it or what happens if we can't?"

Palace Master Zhong Jiao thought to himself, Yang Chen certainly wouldn't speak without thinking. Since he spoke before all the elders and other people, he certainly must have a plan.

"If we can control it, then we will have an easy time sharing the profit."

Yang Chen faintly smiled:

"If we cannot, then we have no choice but to lose some profit and act together joining hands with other big sects."

He spoke clearly, if they can, then they could hog everything to themselves. If they can't, then they would have to find some people and act together. But right now, the people of Hundred Thousand Mountains hadn't suffered any great loss, so Yang Chen's words had put everyone at a loss.

These words were indeed true and made Palace Master Zhong Jiao sink into deeper contemplation. The silence within the hall which lasted for a long time was broken when Xu Chengxin asked:

"Yang Chen, how do intend to deal with people of Hundred Thousand Mountains?"

"To gather experts and exterminate them."

Yang Chen replied without any hesitation.

This was again an unreal reply, almost everyone present on the scene believed so. It's not like people hadn't tried to research the mastermind behind Hundred Thousand Mountains, those dao, devil and demon cultivators who wanted to dominate the Hundred Thousand Mountains, all believed that it wasn't possible without at least two mid stage Dacheng experts.

This was the minimum requirement, but looking at the stability in Hundred Thousand Mountains for so long, where even any big sect hadn't tried to dip their finger in the pie, it was clear maybe they were even more difficult to deal with.

Yang Chen's unexpected words to find experts and exterminate them simply seemed to be a joke. Moreover, it also wasn't like Dacheng stage experts would so easily agree to exterminate people. Furthermore, if two or three Dacheng stage expert of the same side wants to kill another expert of the same stage who was focused on escaping, then killing him also wasn't easy.

When Palace Master Zhong Jiao and others thought about it, they realized that perhaps Yang Chen really had some assurance in gathering experts. Gui Shanyou of Pure Yang Palace, Senior black tiger of Beast Taming Sect, Elder Hua Wanting of Clear Sky School, they were all people who could be considered to be owing a favour to Yang Chen. So agreeing to attack once shouldn't be a big problem.

But, exterminating the enemy would be greatly difficult for these people too. Driving them away was easy, but who knows when those people would try to make a comeback? It was also impossible for Yang Chen to make these Dacheng experts stay at Hundred Thousand Mountains the entire time.

This caused the Palace Master Zhong Jiao to have some embarrassment. But in front of so many people, he also couldn't ask Yang Chen for the details. Moreover, he also knew that even if he asked, Yang Chen may not reply properly. With Liang Shaoming present on the scene, Yang Chen would certainly not reveal all his cards.

At the same time, Palace Master Zhong Jiao began to get fidgety. This Liang Shaoming was always trying to enter the power struggle all the time. Last time, he colluded with He Lianyun, who was the disciple of Luminous Moon Hall. He couldn't even control a little Luminous Moon Hall properly, maybe it's about time to find a new candidate for the position of hall master of Luminous Moon Hall.

This was the second time, Palace Master Zhong Jiao had this thought, but he didn't say anything. He didn't want to alert those traitors within Pure Yang Palace.

Once he thought that the Greatest Heaven Sect had surprisingly arranged who knows how many people for how long within his sect, Palace Master Zhong Jiao couldn't help but become furious. But after all was said and done, it was still because of the fact that Pure Yang Palace lacked strength. Its influence was insufficient, if they had the strength comparable to a big sect like Five Phases Sect, then how would Greatest Heaven Sect dare to be so brazen?

Presently, Yang Chen's proposal seemed to be a good opportunity to make friendly relations with few other big sects. As for what kind of friendly relations, becoming brothers was good. Connecting by marriage was also good, but what could be more reliable than forming a bond for the interest of both parties?

Once he reached this conclusion, Palace Master Zhong Jiao kept on looking at the argument between the people in front of him without saying anything. But in his mind, he began to strategize to get sufficient bargaining chips in this huge meat pie.

"Humph, keep daydreaming!"

Regarding Yang Chen's plan of exterminating the enemy, Liang Shaoming directly gave this evaluation. Although other didn't say anything, they also had the same opinion. If it was really so easy, then how could Hundred Thousand Mountain remain stable for a whole millennium?

"He isn't indulging in fantasy, he only asked if we can seize the Hundred Thousand Mountain and whether it will be worth joining hands with other big sects."

However, Zhu Chentao remained on Yang Chen's side, replying Liang Shaoming.

Chapter 213- The Elixir Is Called Heart Questioning Pill

28 Sep 2017

"If we can hold it, then naturally it's worth it."

Xu Chengxin nodded without any hesitation, everyone present agreed with his words, even Liang Shaoming also consented.

Although the Hundred Thousand Mountain lacked spirit power, it was rich in resources. Who wouldn't covet those large number of natural resources? If they could hold it, who didn't know what the benefits would be?

"The problem is whether we can hold it or not."

Liang Shaoming immediately retorted:

"Relying on whom? Relying on just us? Or adding in experts from other sects? How many Dacheng experts can we have?"

Once Liang Shaoming said those words, it immediately raised a thought in the mind of all the elders. Yang Chen had gone into seclusion for concocting pills for Beast Taming Sect's Senior black tiger, so it was said that Senior black tiger promised Yang Chen a favour. Together with Hua Wanting of Clear Sky School and Gui Shanyou, there would be a total of three Dacheng stage experts.

Since Senior black tiger and elder Hua Wanting had agreed, naturally the sects behind them wouldn't also sit quietly, just the Clear Sky School itself could not be looked down upon. If these three powers form an alliance, then maybe there was some chance.

"Disciple had once obtained a certain pill recipe by accident."

Yang Chen slowly continued:

"Using certain year matured ingredients, an elixir known as Heart Questioning Pill can be refined."

"Heart questioning pill?"

Zhu Chentao was the hall master of Medicine Hall, so he was obsessed towards pill concocting. After hearing Yang Chen had some new kind of elixir, he impatiently asked:

"What kind of elixir is this? What use does it have?"

Not only Zhu Chentao, other people also raised their ears and looked at Yang Chen. Since he had mentioned the heart questioning pill at this time, then it was certainly in relation to the matter regarding Hundred Thousand Mountain, so everyone couldn't help but value it.

"This heart questioning pill isn't of any great use."

Yang Chen satisfied everyone's appetite and calmly said:

"At the time of making a breakthrough, when confusion arises in the heart, this heart questioning pill will ensure that devils from outside won't invade and it would just depend on your heart, thus increasing the chances of the breakthrough."

"Hiss!"

Yang Chen had explained it lightly, but each and everyone who heard it couldn't help but take a deep breath. Outer devils couldn't invade and just depend on your heart, what kind of object was this and he still says it doesn't have much use?

When someone tried to reach Dacheng stage from YuanYing stage or some Dacheng expert has to ascend, there was endless confusion in the heart. If this pill was taken at that time, wouldn't it greatly increase the chances of succeeding? What was the most difficult problem after reaching a bottleneck? Wasn't it the invasion of heart's devil since the dao heart wasn't stable? So was this pill something, which doesn't have much use?

"The requirements for making this heart questioning pill is extremely high and requires at least ten thousand years matured legendary herbs."

Seeing that everyone had become distracted, Yang Chen waited for a good while for everyone to accept it, only then he continued:

"Although it can also be used for cultivators below Dacheng stage, it really wasn't worth it."

Frankly speaking, this pill was for the use of Dacheng experts especially at the time of breakthrough, so it could be said to be of the same grade as Heaven Seizing Pill. But compared to the heaven seizing pill, the heart questioning pill had a great extent of applicability, at least after Dacheng experts use it, they won't have to continuously endure the medicinal power and won't cause their bodies to explode leading to death.

Naturally, people like Yang Chen who were extremely rich could also use it when they were at foundation stage or JieDan stage. But the requirement of ten thousand years matured legendary herbs was really too high and absolutely couldn't be supported by an ordinary foundation or JieDan stage cultivator. As for YuanYing experts, even their flesh would ache.

However, for Yang Chen, this wasn't a big problem. He had only recalled this heart questioning pill when he and Shi Shanshan had discovered those legendary herbs.

"This pill, how much assurance do you have in making it?"

Palace Master Zhong Jiao timely asked the question which was in everyone's mind.

"With sufficient ingredients, this disciple has 70% assurance."

Yang Chen made a rough estimation and gave a number which everyone could accept. But in reality, as long as Yang Chen had sufficient ingredients, there wouldn't be any problem.

"Ten thousand years matured legendary herbs, they aren't so easy to acquire!"

Zhu Chentao creased his brows. He definitely didn't have any doubt regarding Yang Chen's pill concocting level. Even until now, he always had the attitude of a student in front of Yang Chen.

Zhu Chentao's words also gave a voice to the problem in everyone's heart. If it was just thousand year matured herbs then they could still be acquired with difficulty, but as for ten thousand years matured legendary herbs, the difficulty to acquire them rises by a hundredfold.

"Previously, when disciple had gone out to gain experiences with Fairy Shi of Green Jade Immortal Island, disciple was fortunate enough to come across some herbs which could be used."

Just when everyone was scratching their head, Yang Chan immediately gave an answer which stunned everyone:

"Refining a furnace of heart questioning pills shouldn't be a problem."

Hearing this, everyone's pupils shrunk. No one asked what he meant by a furnace of heart questioning pill, but looking at Yang Chen's appearance, they were certain that it was not one or two pills. If one heart questioning pill meant the support of one Dacheng expert, doesn't that meant that using just one furnace of heart questioning pill, Yang Chen could gain the support of more than ten Dacheng experts?

Ten Dacheng experts, added together with the ones who owed Yang Chen a favour, would mean almost half of the total number of Dacheng expert present within all the dao sects.

In front of this kind of force, not to mention Hundred Thousand Mountain, even Greatest Heaven Sect would have to stake all their resources together with the lives of all of their Dacheng stage experts to barely avoid extermination.

So didn't this mean that destroying those people of Hundred Thousand Mountain was already in the bag? When everyone present reached this conclusion, their heart became lively, seemingly the first question which Yang Chen had asked was not that stupid.

Whether the Pure Yang Palace could or could not hold the Hundred Thousand Mountain after conquering it? Everyone began to think about this question. Now they weren't discussing the feasibility of conquering it rather were genuinely thinking about the making the arrangement to gobble up the great wealth of Hundred Thousand Mountain in their purse.

If the Pure Yang Palace could really hold the Hundred Thousand Mountain, then the Pure Yang Palace would surely earn great wealth. As long as they do it properly, everyone had the confidence that within a hundred years, the Pure Yang Palace would certainly become a first rate sect.

Everyone's heart began to pound with the vision of the future whose hope had arrived this instant. Looking at Yang Chen, everyone felt that they had really obtained a great treasure.

Once the heart questioning pill came out, what about Heaven Seizing Pill's controversy, it would be thrown to one side. As long as they dominate the pill recipe and refining method, Yang Chen could walk anywhere within the cultivator's world without any fear.

Anyone who dared to offend Yang Chen, would also indirectly offend all the Dacheng experts who required a heart questioning pill, as well as those formidable experts who had the financial resources to pay the price of a heart questioning pill. When that time comes, who would dare to threaten Yang Chen, even the people of Pure Yang Palace wouldn't quarrel with him lightly.

Fantasy was always beautiful, but when returning to reality, they couldn't help but lose hope. It had to be said that the dreams of higher echelons of Pure Yang Palace were indeed slightly mistaken, even if they could conquer Hundred Thousand Mountain, they would still be unable to hold it.

This was the regret of all small sects, everyone present had to accept this fact. It seems that there was only one method that was to collaborate with few big sects and share the profits.

Actually, the benefits of the Hundred Thousand Mountain were so huge that even a big sect would be unable to keep everything to itself. After everyone thought about this fact for some time, they felt great relief in their heart, since the fact that even a big sect couldn't handle this matter so if Pure Yang Palace wasn't able to do it, then also it was not something for which they would lose face.

After realizing this point, it was time to think about the sects with which they would form an alliance with, this matter had to be considered very carefully. Which sect to accept and which to reject, this was Pure Yang Palace's own decision.

Moreover, the selected sects must also use their full power otherwise why should they receive a portion of benefit? If that happens, then the pressure on Pure Yang Palace would decrease greatly, at least the heart questioning pills could be provided to the experts of those sects.

At this instant, even Liang Shaoming's eyes were shining brightly, if he could obtain one heart questioning pill refined by Yang Chen for himself, then couldn't he immediately make a breakthrough from the peak of JieDan stage and reach YuanYing stage.

At this moment, Yang Chen didn't say anything and kept on calmly standing in front of them. Yang Chen also couldn't do anything about this matter and would still require the Palace Master and elders to make a decision.

"Green Jade Immortal Islands had always wanted to form an alliance with my sect, this time, we might as well have a chat with them."

One elder said, but while speaking his gaze turned to Yang Chen with a bitter smile.

Hearing this, everyone gave him a knowing smile. The matter of Shi Shanshan becoming a dao companion of Yang Chen was something that most elders agreed with, to obtain the support of Green Jade Immortal Islands. However, now they can also form the ties depending on profit and take their cooperation to next level. So when the time comes, even if Yang Chen really doesn't want to become dao companions, it would still not go as far as to Pure Yang Palace and Green Jade Immortal Islands becoming hostile with each other.

"Clear Sky School could also be considered as an option."

When the Palace Master opened his mouth, he also had a similar smile on his face.

Yang Chen understood that this was related to Sun Qingxue. However, he didn't say anything, if he could really resolve the matter of both females with this matter than that would be the best outcome.

Actually, when Yang Chen spoke about the heart questioning pill, the vast sea and sky opened in front of everyone's eyes. Accept whose cooperation and reject whose, it all depended upon Pure Yang Palace's own decision.

"Greatest Heaven Sect's strength is great and it also handles all outside matters fairly, shouldn't we include them also in the cooperation?"

After Palace Master Zhong Jiao had spoken, Liang Shaoming also gave his suggestion.

"Strength being great is acceptable, but they handle outside matters fairly, how can you even say that?"

Law Enforcement Hall's hall master Meng Xian immediately retorted. During the past ten years, Law Enforcement Hall had been unable to find any of the traitors planted by the Greatest Heaven Sect which made Meng Xian furious, so now seeing Liang Shaoming surprisingly mention Greatest Heaven Sect, how can he not release his anger:

"During the matter of Desolate Valley, how did Greatest Heaven Sect's attitude seemed fair to you? Or could it be that since they sheltered your traitorous disciple Chu Heng, that's why you think they are fair and just?"

"You!"

Liang Shaoming couldn't speak more than one word, he had mentioned them with selfish motives but hadn't expected that hall master Meng Xian would refute so fiercely.

Not only Meng Xian, even Palace Master Zhong Jiao looked at Liang Shaoming with disgust hidden deep within his eyes. Everyone was aware that Liang Shaoming had some friends in the Greatest Heaven Sect, but talking drivel in this kind of situation was just a joke. In any case, this had made Palace Master Zhong Jiao and hall master Meng Xian place serious suspicion on Liang Shaoming.

It was not like both of them hadn't doubted Liang Shaoming when finding the hidden traitor within the sect. But afterwards, both of them felt that Liang Shaoming was the hall master of Luminous Moon Hall and would be an elder of Pure Yang Palace in the future, so why would he lower himself to rely on Greatest Heaven Sect's charity? Therefore, their suspicion towards Liang Shaoming had weakened greatly, at most, they felt that because of his disciple Chu Heng's matter, he didn't look favourably on Yang Chen.

Last time was Liang Shaoming's first offence, but now, Liang Shaoming had surprisingly spared no effort to speak on Greatest Heaven Sect's behalf, how could this be a good sign. So the future investigation had to be shifted towards Liang Shaoming.

In fact, by sheltering a traitor of Pure Yang Palace and using their disciples to attack Yang Chen, they proved themselves to be the sect's enemies. Furthermore, deploying a secret piece in the sect, even after all these actions, if the Palace Master Zhong Jiao still consents to cooperate with Greatest Heaven Sect, then he shouldn't have become the Palace Master in the first place.

Although the other elders didn't know about such complications, they also agreed with Meng Xian's words. Greatest Heaven Sect's actions towards Five Phases Sect had already caused the other big sects to become resentful towards them.

If they really want to walk with Greatest Heaven Sect, then maybe the Green Jade Immortal Islands and the Clear Sky School wouldn't agree so easily. In the extreme case, it might also destroy the relationship of Pure Yang Palace with these two sects.

In fact, after forming alliance with Green Jade Immortal Islands and Clear Sky School, these two big sects, the Palace Master could also draw in Beast Taming Sect. With two first rate sects and two second rate sects, controlling Hundred Thousand wouldn't be difficult.

However, these kinds of benefits would certainly give rise to other people's greed. After discussion the topic with everyone, it was concluded that they must also rope in the Rogue Cultivator's Alliance.

Thus, everything was arranged properly. Naturally, the premise of all this was the destruction of everyone at Hundred Thousand Mountains, and the most crucial thing was the time required to refine Yang Chen's heart questioning pill.

"After getting hold of Hundred Thousand Mountains, in the future, we will require some rules to administer it."

This was Palace Master Zhong Jiao's other decision

"How will the benefits be divided, whether to allow the devil and demon cultivators, whether to let demon clan and devil sects to join it, all these would require discussion between all parties."

Everyone consented to this point because after all was said and done, the time of discussion with all parties would still depend on Yang Chen.

"It seems like we would again have to trouble you, Yang Chen, to refine the heart questioning pill."

Palace Master Zhong Jiao faintly smiled towards Yang Chen:

"Since the ingredients are all gathered, how much time would you require in pill concocting?"

"If uncle master Zhu helps….."

Yang Chen made a rough estimation:

"Two years would be enough, I think. This pill isn't difficult to refine."

"Good!"

Palace Master Zhong Jiao replied without any hesitation:

"You put your mind to pill concocting. I know your cultivation requires flames, from tomorrow, the sect will dispatch disciples to secure flames for you, you will also obtain hundred thousand sect contribution points. Moreover, you will also get another chance to enter sect's Secret Pavilion. If you have any other requirements, just mention without any hesitation, just refine the heart questioning pill within two years."

Chapter 214- Great Harvest

28 Sep 2017

"Wait a moment!"

When Yang Chen was just about to reply, Liang Shaoming interrupted him, as everyone confusingly turned towards him, he asked:

"The heart questioning pill refined by Yang Chen, will they belong to Yang Chen or to the sect?"

"The ingredients are provided by Yang Chen, the refining is done by Yang Chen, so naturally, the pills will belong to Yang Chen."

Zhu Chentao shot a glance towards Yang Chen and confusingly asked:

"Could it be that hall master Liang feels that they should belong to the sect?"

"Since my sect gave him so many rewards, naturally, they must belong to the sect."

Obviously, Liang Shaoming wasn't willing to let the heart questioning pills belong to Yang Chen. If they belonged to the sect, then using his identity, he still had some chance to obtain a pill. Maybe with this one pill, he could enter the YuanYing stage, so he couldn't help but make these selfish schemes.

"What about the profits of Hundred Thousand Mountain, are they not enough for the sect to give rewards?"

Zhu Chentao sneered. How could he not see what Liang Shaoming's intentions were?

"It is still unknown how many pills he can refine, so what use is there to discuss about these matters right now?"

Palace Master Zhong Jiao kept up his calm face and shot a glance at Liang Shaoming, then he continued:

"It would be difficult to gain the support of a Dacheng expert to attack Hundred Thousand Mountain with just one heart questioning pill and we require the support of at least five experts. With two pills for each person, that would be ten pills in total. Yang Chen, you concoct the pills, as for the extra pills, you can keep them for yourself."

Although he had dominatingly ordered Yang Chen to give ten pills, Yang Chen didn't have any problems with following this. This was a method proposed by him and looking at the big picture, it would also resolve many of Yang Chen's troubles.

"Disciple will do as ordered!"

Yang Chen loudly agreed and was just about to leave when his gaze swept across Liang Shaoming, he suddenly turned and said:

"Disciple would still have to rely on Palace Master to assure the safety of disciple's master."

"Be at ease!"

Palace Master Zhong Jiao agreed:

"Apprentice brother Wang is just about to come out of seclusion, I will arrange for your master to live near apprentice brother Wang's seclusion place. Furthermore, I will also ask Shi Kui and Xie Sha of the Eccentric Hall to guard your master, you shouldn't worry and concentrate on pill concocting!"

Since the enemy could find Yang Chen's location, naturally, they also knew how important his master, Gao Yue, was to him. This wasn't any secret at Pure Yang Palace, regardless of whatever malicious things you say about Yang Chen, he would just laugh it off, but if someone dares to speak wrongly about Gao Yue, Yang Chen would hunt and kill him a thousand times.

Moreover, Gao Yue herself was one of the people involved in the matter regarding Hundred Thousand Mountains, it was quite possible that those people would similarly retaliate against her.

Therefore, Yang Chen's concerns weren't completely unfounded. Palace Master Zhong Jiao had also thought about this matter and made this arrangement.

Liang Shaoming's plans to obtain a heart questioning pill had failed because of Palace Master Zhong Jiao's words, but he didn't dare to utter even a single word. Everything was planned by Yang Chen, the ingredients belonged to Yang Chen, the refining was also done by Yang Chen, hence, providing ten pills to the sect was more than enough. Furthermore, the sect would still obtain the profits of Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Such a big matter would require great preparation from Pure Yang Palace in all fields like manpower, resources, and allies. Although Yang Chen still hadn't begun the refining of the heart questioning pills, some information about it needed to be spread.

This was so that when the time comes, the experts of the ally sects don't become unavailable by going into seclusion or for other similar reasons. In short, the time when Yang Chen completes the pill concocting should be the time by which the sect's preparations were finished.

Therefore, all of them begun to get busy. Pure Yang Palace immediately postponed many missions and began to use the sect's contribution points to exchange for different grades of flames. The rewards were ample, arousing the interest of countless people.

As long as one was a fire attributed cultivator, he would have to use a flame. But not all fire attributed cultivators were so fortunate and could find flames like Real Sun Fire or Real Moon Fire.

Even Yang Chen's master, Gao Yue, also only had a Purple Heart Fire, which was comparable to Yang Chen's geocentric fire. For the majority of the people, let alone geocentric fire, they would be lucky if they could obtain a first grade or second grade flame.

The issue of Yang Chen requiring flames wasn't raised by Yang Chen, but rather by Zhu Chentao. When Zhu Chentao saw that Yang Chen's Profound Spirit Furnace could be upgraded by absorbing different types of flames, he immediately noted it in his mind. No wonder, Yang Chen had previously said that he would exchange the Heaven Seizing Pill recipe for a flame.

This Profound Spirit Furnace was obtained by Zhu Chentao by accident, which he later gifted to Yang Chen. Zhu Chentao had He Lianyun's furnace, so he wasn't envious of Yang Chen's Profound Spirit Furnace.

On the contrary, he even mentioned this to Palace Master once. This time, the Palace Master also seized the opportunity to obtain some benefits for Yang Chen to start this magnificent occasion.

Usually, the sect's contribution points were very rarely awarded, causing each and every one of the thousands of disciples to drool over them.

Those who had obtained a flame but hadn't used it, all immediately exchanged it for contribution points. Those contribution points could be exchanged for spirit stones or perhaps other products of the sect, whose value far exceeded that of a simple flame. Even those who had used the flame exchanged it for contribution points. Later, when the opportunity arises, they could obtain a similar flame based on market value, which only required some time to be spent.

Moreover, the sooner the flames were exchanged, the higher the contribution points awarded. Everyone had similar ideas and within a short ten days, the sect had already collected 50 first grade flames and more than 20 second grade flames.

When Yang Chen and Zhu Chentao entered Yang Chen's refining room again, Zhu Chentao immediately produced the flames obtained. These almost 80 flames made Yang Chen extremely happy.

A woodcutter must sharpen his axe before chopping logs. Yang Chen wasn't polite and immediately began to use the Profound Spirit Furnace to absorb the flames. The Profound Spirit Furnace, which had already reached a very high grade and had absorbed high grade flames like real sun fire and real moon fire without any pressure, began to absorb these low grade flames at lightning speed.

3 first grade flames or 2 second grade flames in a day. Within one short month, Yang Chen's Profound Spirit Furnace had already absorbed all the flames completely.

Speaking of this, the Profound Spirit Furnace had already absorbed many types of high grade flames but hadn't absorbed many low grade flames. This batch of flames was full of low grade flames and although the individual flames in the batch didn't raise the grade of the Profound Spirit Furnace as effectively as real sun fire or real moon fire, several tens of flames were enough to increase it by one grade.

Yang Chen also refined one tenth of the Profound Green Metal Crystal this time, enriching the Profound Spirit Furnace even more. Within a month, the Profound Spirit Furnace had once again been reborn, not only had its grade increased, with the addition of Profound Greed Metal Crystal, its structure had become even more robust and its capability to endure the pressure of flames had increased substantially.

Because the Profound Spirit Furnace could now control a large number of flames, his control over different flames during the pill concocting process became even more perfect, this was another great advantage. Holding the Profound Spirit Furnace, Yang Chen didn't want to part with it.

After using the Universal Treasure Raising Secrets once, Yang Chen finally began to cooperate with Zhu Chentao and entered seclusion to refine pills.

This time again, Zhu Chentao's disciple and Yang Chen's former servant, Ho Lin, was waiting upon them. But, the only difference compared to last time was that from start to finish, Zhu Chentao and Ho Lin were only spectators, from purifying the ingredients to refining the elixir, everything was done by Yang Chen alone.

Frankly speaking, when Yang Chen was concocting pills, he allowed Zhu Chentao and Ho Lin to learn as much as possible. Although Zhu Chentao was already a YuanYing stage experts, on the road of pill concocting, he himself didn't dare to say that he had surpassed Yang Chen. Zhu Chentao was sincerely observing everything, afraid to miss anything.

As for Ho Lin, who was originally Yang Chen's servant, regardless of her cultivation, she had good control of fire when concocting pills, but it was still inferior to Yang Chen. Since Yang Chen had guided her for so long, she naturally knew good from bad and always waited upon her master and Yang Chen attentively, not daring to be distracted for a moment.

The heart questioning pill required more than ten types of ten thousand years matured herbs, all of which were present in that valley. When Yang Chen took out those freshly plucked herbs, Zhu Chentao became ecstatic.

Although being a pill concocting master meant that he had many chances to personally see ten thousand years matured legendary herbs, who takes out a pile of them? While Yang Chen was preparing, Zhu Chentao spared no effort to teach Ho Lin about the grade of this batch of herbs, while simultaneously holding these precious herbs in his own hands.

Yang Chen first used the geocentric fire to refine all the herbs. The amount of spirit power in the ten thousand years matured herbs was enough to astonish anyone. Not to mention other things, under the influence of this pile of medicinal power, even the colour of Profound Spirit Furnace was changed, from dilute cyan colour to slightly greenish. This was indeed quite mystical.

After some time, Ho Lin was unable to endure the thick overflowing spirit power and had to move far away, only then did the feeling blood and spirit power rolling around in her body ease out.

When beginning the refining, Yang Chen's fire controlling technique once again astonished Zhu Chentao. He kept on attentively observing the flame within Profound Spirit Furnace without any movement.

This time, Yang Chen was using techniques to control fire as earth and control fire as water. Since the heart questioning pill paid particular attention calming the heart of a person like a river, just flowing on its path, without receiving the onslaught of outer devils, so naturally, among the five phases, the most peaceful ones of earth and water were the most suitable. However, although it was a dual refining of earth and water, the origin was still fire.

At the lowest strata of Profound Spirit Furnace was a flame sealed like a piece of earth, formed together by geocentric fire and cold ice fire. After experiencing the refining of geocentric fire, the medicinal liquid spread on top of this foundation and began to flow around slowly like recently melted magma.

Using the profound wood fire, he transformed it into a miniature bodhi tree. After penetrating the medicinal liquid, it took roots in the foundation beneath the medicinal liquid, that was formed with the combination of geocentric fire and cold ice fire. The portion of medicinal liquid approaching this tree slowly began to boil and the heat was then spread to all portions little by little.

The best condition for meditation and cultivation was under a bodhi tree. Under this tree, anyone could safely enter a meditative state while calming their heart. The bodhi tree formed of profound wood fire also used the idea of mediation and fused with the heart questioning pill, perfectly harmonizing with its medicinal properties.

Naturally, for the bodhi tree formed of profound wood fire to achieve these kinds of results, the most crucial point was the tiny flame strands of the profound wood fire engraved minute spirit storing spell formations in the medicinal liquid of the elixir while boiling it. This made it so that every infinitesimal drop of this medicinal liquid contained a minute spirit storing spell formation, which was the main reason for this effect.

Also, at any point in time, the profound wood fire could only boil a small portion of the medicinal liquid that was surrounding the tree and wouldn't pass the heat to the entire medicinal liquid. To achieve with this, Yang Chen's precise control over fire was required. Bit by bit, the medicinal liquid that was flowing over the foundation made of two flames, was moved around once to undergo the baptism of profound wood fire.

Just this process required the majority of the two years. The heart questioning pill allowed a person to not bow down to their devils, precisely because of bodhi meditation. Moreover, the coldness of cold ice fire would allow that person to always remain sober, this was the cause of always pointing towards their heart. Naturally, the cold ice flame has its uses and also allowed the minute flame strands to form spell formations.

However, just relying on the spell formations wasn't sufficient to perform the heart questioning pill's function. The genuine reason for its effectiveness was still the medicinal power of those ten thousand years matured herbs that assist and complement each other. Otherwise, even these Dacheng experts could just set up the spell formations, then wouldn't it be easy for them to refine the heart questioning pills?

In the end, the most basic requirement was an enormous and continuous supply of spirit power which doesn't go berserk. The fusion of these factors makes the heart questioning pill deserve its reputation.

Because Yang Chen had absorbed the cold ice fire and profound wood fire last time, he had great confidence in refining this heart questioning pill. Even Zhu Chentao, who had been watching from start to finish, realized that it was not so easy. Leaving aside the fact that searching for materials was difficult, just this high grade fire controlling technique was something which he can't reproduce.

During the whole process, Zhu Chentao only kept on gasping with excitement. Yang Chen's current level of flame control left him completely speechless and unable to find words to describe his praise.

Now, Zhu Chentao and Ho Lin were convinced that as long as they cultivate the dao of flame control as Yang Chen had thought them, the road ahead of them could lead them far into the future. Thus, Zhu Chentao wouldn't ever have the feeling of an impassable gap, as he had at the peak of JieDan stage.

One year's time was needed to lay down sufficient spell formations within the medicinal liquid, while the remaining time was required by Yang Chen to complete the final refining of the heart questioning pill.

The most surprising thing was, at the final juncture, Yang Chen didn't use any high grade flame, rather, one of the first grade flames that he had collected this time. Although the low key and underrated flame didn't cause any great waves in the final step, it was able to maintain a high temperature from beginning to end.

Initially, Yang Chen used to believe that he would have to use the green phosphorous fire at this step. But now, since he had many low grade flames, some of them were even more suitable and increased the success of elixir.

Finally, after ten months, Yang Chen began the final step of pill collecting. Zhu Chentao was barely able to make bits and pieces of the dazzling pill concocting technique while Ho Lin's vision was completely sunk into a fog, unable to make out anything of the technique used by Yang Chen.

However, at this crucial time, no one dared to disturb Yang Chen. Both of them cautiously observed Yang Chen, waiting until Yang Chen had completed the final step and extinguished the flame.

Suddenly, a beam of dense dazzling light appeared from the Profound Spirit Furnace. The beam broke through the roof and directly soared outside. The underground spirit vein of Second Fierce Yang Courtyard seemed to be suddenly attracted by something and began to crazily concentrate at the side of this Profound Spirit Furnace.

Chapter 215- Handling With The Heart Questioning Pill

28 Sep 2017

The huge disturbance alarmed everyone in the MeiQing Mountain. The beam of light was 50 km tall and could be seen clearly within a radius of 500 km.

The fluctuation of spirit power was extremely fierce, everyone was thinking what kind of suppressed power had been released that it needed such an enormous amount of spirit power, which was calmly moving towards the region from where the light appeared.

The people of Second Fierce Yang Courtyard had already sensed these fluctuations long ago, even from the hall where Palace Master lived, more than ten silhouettes could be seen flying in the air towards here. In a short period of time, Palace Master Zhong Jiao and other elders had already flown over to the Second Fierce Yang Courtyard.

The beam of light didn't scatter and was extremely eye-catching within the night sky. All the experts present on the scene could sense the calm movement of a huge amount of spirit power, but no one made any movement.

Everyone knew that the refining of heart questioning pills had reached the final stage. Whether it succeeded or failed wasn't clear yet, but just the fact that this elixir could attract the calm spirit power and absorb it illustrated the fearsomeness of this pill. This heart questioning pill indeed deserved its reputation.

These circumstances lasted for two whole hours, only then did the pillar of light start to flicker and slowly disappear. The spirit power in the Second Fierce Yang Courtyard had finally returned to normal.

Immediately afterwards, everyone heard the laughter of Yang Chen, Zhu Chentao and Ho Lin. Palace Master and others waiting outside finally relaxed, seemingly, the refining of heart questioning pills had succeeded. Now, the only question was the number of pills refined in this batch.

Hearing the sound of activity, Yang Chen knew that he had disturbed many people so he didn't stay in the pill concocting room and quickly came out together with Zhu Chentao and Ho Lin.

Seeing Palace Master Zhong Jiao, all three of them immediately saluted. Palace Master also faintly smiled and returned the greeting, then he immediately stopped Zhu Chentao, who was trying to say something, and led all of them to the official business hall of the Second Fierce Yang Courtyard, together with the elders.

After properly setting up restrictions, Palace Master Zhong Jiao asked:

"So how many pills were refined in this batch?"

Actually, not only Palace Master, even the other elders also wanted to know the answer to this question, but seeing the large number of people in the surrounding, they didn't ask. This was also the reason for stopping Zhu Chentao from speaking at that time.

"Disciple hasn't broken your trust, this time 15 pills had been refined."

Yang Chen answered with a smile. On the other side, Zhu Chentao was also nodding continuously.

Hearing that there were 15 pills, everyone immediately relaxed. As long as, it was more than ten pills, then according to the original plan, they could invite five Dacheng stage experts. With this, they would have much greater assurance in dealing with Hundred Thousand Mountains.

During the two years when Yang Chen was refining, whether it was because they felt fear after Yang Chen had killed a YuanYing stage expert or because they were busy with dealing with the issue of a large number of disciples of various sects that had gone missing in the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the past, which was being secretly pushed by Pure Yang Palace, the power behind the Hundred Thousand Mountains didn't take any big action towards Pure Yang Palace.

With these heart questioning pills, the discussed plan with the few other sects could move to the next stage. However, a fact that everyone suspected was whether this heart questioning pill really had the effect which Yang Chen said it had.

The promise of giving two heart questioning pills to every Dacheng stage expert was because of this consideration. With the first pill, they could verify the efficacy of the heart questioning pill. For those Dacheng stage experts, a rumor would be eternally unequal to a fact which they had personally verified.

All of this was Palace Master Zhong Jiao's responsibility, so those ten heart questioning pills were handed over to Palace Master in a jade bottle. But everyone's gaze was still on Yang Chen, as if desiring to know what he intended to do with those five leftover heart questioning pills.

It couldn't be helped since Yang Chen's description had really tempted everyone, moreover, the majority of the elders had been at YuanYing stage for too long, the appearance of the heart questioning pill bought a new hope for everyone.

How could Yang Chen not realize what all the elders were thinking about, he faintly laughed:

"The ingredients this time were only sufficient for one batch of heart questioning pill, moreover, all the elders don't need it for the time being. Elders, please wait for a few decades, then if any of the elders senses the bottleneck to the Dacheng stage, disciple would refine another batch to help you breakthrough."

These words were indeed most fitting for the situation, the group of elder became extremely excited. But Yang Chen immediately continued:

"However, the materials to refine this pill are extremely precious, so elders, someone breaking through from JieDan stage to YuanYing stage mustn't be allowed to use a heart questioning pill, don't you all agree?"

What kind of question was this, the heart questioning pill was so precious that using it to breakthrough from YuanYing stage to Dacheng stage was already like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, who would be willing to waste it on JieDan stage bottleneck? Moreover, all the elders were already at YuanYing stage, so they even went as far to point out that there was no need to waste heart questioning pills on someone who can't even break through to YuanYing stage by themselves.

No one opposed this proposal, everyone silently nodded. Palace Master Zhong Jiao then asked:

"As for that batch of elixirs, do you intend to gift it to the sect?"

"Yes!"

Yang Chen nodded:

"However, for the time being, the sect doesn't have anyone who needs to use them, moreover, disciple's cultivation is also insufficient so many materials were wasted during refining. After 30 years, disciple will produce another batch, reckoning that at that time, even more pills would be produced."

Although Yang Chen's refining skills were excellent, his cultivation restrained him. Everyone understood this point, in fact, if not for settling the issue with Hundred Thousand Mountain completely, Yang Chen absolutely wouldn't have taken out the heart questioning pill so easily.

"This is your property, since you are handing it over, how do you want the sect to reward you?"

After Yang Chen gave his promise, Palace Master was delighted and immediately asked about the matter of rewards.

"Disciple doesn't need many things, I just have two requests."

Yang Chen wasn't someone who selflessly contributed to the sect, that would only be possible if his master was the Palace Master. He immediately put forth his requests:

"First is that the sect continues to obtain flames for this disciple. Second is that if disciple takes fancy to something obtained from Hundred Thousand Mountains, disciple could have the priority of buying it at market price."

These two requests weren't too difficult. For collecting flames, as long as the sect issues such a mission, it would be simple. As for the second request, it was slightly troublesome, after all, it was a joint operation with a few other sects, so they couldn't avoid thinking that rather than this, they could promise some other request to Yang Chen.

However, compared to another batch of heart questioning pills, these few requests were nothing. Yang Chen's purchase would be finite, moreover, he would be paying according to the market price, so it was not overbearing. Moreover, if even this was impossible, then there was no need for the Pure Yang Palace to vie over Hundred Thousand Mountains.

"Good!"

Even without the consent of the elders, Palace Master nodded his head and agreed to Yang Chen's requests. It would only be a wonder if some elder didn't agree in face of such benefits.

Although everyone had agreed to everything very quickly, all of them knew that Yang Chen's previous condition was basically meant to obstruct some people who had their gazes on the heart questioning pill.

When the hall master of Luminous Moon Hall, Liang Shaoming had heard about the heart questioning pill, he had immediately asked who had the ownership of the pill. Hearing that, everyone present understood what he was trying to do.

But after Yang Chen and other elders had agreed that heart questioning pill wouldn't be used on a JieDan stage disciple, Liang Shaoming's plan to use the heart questioning pill to cross the JieDan's stage bottleneck was completely squashed.

Even Palace Master sighed secretly, Yang Chen was good to everyone except the people of Luminous Moon Hall. Obviously, it also had to do something with the previous Merit Transferring Disciple Chu Heng. If Palace Master had known earlier that this would happen, then he wouldn't have let Chu Heng continue as the Merit Transferring Disciple during those days, then perhaps, the present situation would have been different.

Fortunately, no elder looked into this, even Liang Shoaming's master, Lin Yunfeng, had also agreed without any fuss. If they had really got a heart transferring pill for Liang Shaoming to use, then probably even Lin Yunfeng wouldn't have been willing to let it go. An elixir which could assist Dacheng experts to ascend to be wasted on a JieDan expert, that would indeed be equal to using sledgehammer to crack a nut.

The group of elders quickly made themselves busy and went away feeling excited. Everyone could almost say that they now had ample confidence to breakthrough and were filled with great urge to reach the Dacheng stage. Their situation was the same as Wang Yong when he received the Heaven Seizing Pill, self-confidence was an important factor in making one's cultivation advance by leaps and bounds.

It was obvious that when the cultivation of these elders increased, their confidence would also swell. Moreover, after the matter of Hundred Thousand Mountains was over, Pure Yang Palace's influence would also have increased, which would also give a boost to everyone's confidence that Pure Yang Palace would become stronger and stronger.

Naturally, the more resources there were, the faster the sect develops. Furthermore, as the sect's influence increases, the more resources it could dominate. This was a mutually beneficial process. Unknowingly, Yang Chen had already made the Pure Yang Palace walk on a path different from his previous life.

After the elders had dispersed, Yang Chen requested to see the Palace Master alone. What surprised Palace Master was that Yang Chen had directly gifted him with a heart questioning pill.

Last time, Yang Chen had suggested for him to find a dao companion, which would increase his cultivation speed while at the same time also promote his cultivation realm. This time, he had even directly gifted him with a heart questioning pill.

Since the Palace Master had shown great consideration towards Yang Chen, Yang Chen was delighted to gift him with a heart questioning pill. Moreover, this time, apart from showing his filial respect to Palace Master, he still had one more matter to discuss, which was to tell him about how he was going to deal with the remaining heart questioning pills.

Although everyone had the assurance that Yang Chen would refine another batch after 30 years, it was guaranteed that some would be sceptical. Apart from this, Yang Chen knew that Liang Shaoming would think of every possible method to obtain a heart questioning pill from him and he couldn't allow Liang Shaoming to have his way.

Five heart questioning pill, Yang Chen gifted one to Palace Master, among the remainder, one would be gifted to Wang Yong. These two people, one was the Palace Master of Pure Yang Palace and the other was Yang Chen's great master. Regardless of whatever was discussed, both of them deserved it. Moreover, there weren't many people who would dare to have any ideas on these people.

As for the last three pills, Yang Chen had also made arrangements for them. This time, he would have to trouble Senior black tiger and elder Hua Wanting, although they did owe Yang Chen a favour, when all was said and done, they would have to fight with Dacheng experts, so it would not look good if they had to request for it themselves. One heart questioning pill would express his gratitude, it was also a payment comparable to other Dacheng experts, who were receiving a salary of two heart questioning pill.

As for the final one, it must naturally be given to Pure Yang Palace's own Dacheng expert, old tree demon Gui Shanyou. He was the main strength of the battle, moreover, Yang Chen had long ago promised to help him to ascend. One heart questioning pill would make the old tree demon's cultivation even more profound, which would also bring great benefits to Pure Yang Palace.

Palace Master hadn't expected that Yang Chen would deal with them like this. Since they belonged to Yang Chen, then he could do whatever he wants with them. Besides, Yang Chen had already gifted him a pill.

Among the ones left, Wang Yong and old tree demon got one each, which would be beneficial to Pure Yang Palace. As for the other two pills, they were given to outsiders, but would allow the Pure Yang Palace to gain even more reputation, why wouldn't the Palace Master feel satisfied?

The reason why he had not mentioned this in front of the elders was because he feared that they may have some schemes and would try to obstruct him. But now, the Palace Master had nodded, so naturally, he would explain to the elders and Yang Chen wouldn't be accused of treasuring a jade ring.

When to attack was not something which Yang Chen could decide. He could only deal with the things at hand while waiting for his sect to negotiate with the other sects, so he began to absorb and refine a mixture of those newly obtained flames.

First and second grade flames did not produce any difficulty for the Profound Spirit Furnace, as for Yang Chen himself, they weren't a problem. After laying a foundation with several flames, fusing these low grade flames weren't too pressurizing.

Presently, Yang Chen's situation was that his fourth fire attribute was powerful while his third fire attribute was weak. However, among these low grade flames, flames that were third fire attribute was more powerful than those of fourth fire attribute. So after completely absorbing these flames, this disequilibrium would be slightly transformed, tending towards equilibrium.

However, due to the difference between third grade flames of both attributes, the end result would still be the same, and fourth fire attribute would still remain more formidable compared to third fire attribute.

Gao Yue was waiting upon Wang Yong, so Yang Chen didn't go and disturb her. After meeting with old tree demon once, Yang Chen arranged the Profound Spirit Furnace in the same room which was broken through earlier by the beam of light from the furnace. He sat down on his obsidian jade mat and started the absorption and fusion process.

Starting from first grade flames, traces of different flames stably preserved within the Profound Spirit Furnace began to come out and entered Yang Chen's body. Yang Chen began to use third fire spirit power and fourth fire spirit power, depending on the attribute of the flames, to refine and absorb them.

The grade of flames wasn't very high, so Yang Chen didn't need a long time to fuse them. Within ten days, all the first grade flames had been fused together. With every fusion, Yang Chen's original flame's strength improved, with his spirit power improving even more.

Even after absorbing 50 flames, regardless of whether it was third fire spirit power or fourth fire spirit power, they were not able to reach the point of increasing his cultivation, they only transformed continuously.

The real qualitative change happened after absorbing the 20 second grade flames. His third fire spirit power directly jumped up two layers, from the fifth layer of foundation stage to the seventh layer of foundation stage. Furthermore, his fourth fire spirit power also broke through the seventh layer and enter the eight layer of foundation stage.

The increase in the fire attribute spirit power also urged the increase in spirit power of other attributes. Originally, all the other spirit power except fire stopped at the fourth layer of foundation stage, but after experiencing this time's change, all of them increased greatly and collectively entered the fifth layer of foundation stage. During the whole process, Yang Chen entire cultivation base had increased by at least one layer.

Chapter 216- What A Shame

28 Sep 2017

Absorbing different flames didn't simply increase spirit power, the most important thing was that the Yin and Yang Heaven Burning Flame, which Yang Chen wanted, required the fusion of a large number of Yin and Yang flames to complete it. The increase in spirit power was just an added benefit.

The spirit sea was greatly transformed, each one of those flames appeared within the spirit sea. Since earth rouses fire, each and every one of the flames absorbed were embedded in the trunk of the PengLai Divine Wood. Looking from afar, they seemed like fruits growing on the PengLai Divine Wood.

Although the area of the spirit sea hadn't increased much, his spirit awareness had crazily increased. Last time, Yang Chen's spiritual awareness had already reached the peak of initial YuanYing stage and now, it surpassed this limit and entered the ranks of mid YuanYing stage.

It has to be said that the Three Purities Secrets was indeed a heaven defying secret art, only someone like the Great Supreme Elder could take it out. Until now, Yang Chen's cultivation had only reached the third layer of Three Purities Secrets. The formidable effects of Three Purities Secrets hadn't begun to show yet. Who knew when he cultivated it to the peak, how formidable it would be?

While Yang Chen was cultivating here, among many sects, few had gathered at a secret pavilion. Green Jade Immortal Islands and Clear Sky School being the prime examples.

The Pure Yang Palace hadn't informed everyone about the sect's intention to strike at Hundred Thousand Mountain publicly. Palace Master Zhong Jiao had secretly contacted the sect masters of these two sects and informed them about his intentions. While speaking about this, he also mentioned the heart questioning pill refined by Yang Chen.

Both these sects were not some small sect and had existed for long, so they didn't feel anything wrong with Pure Yang Palace's ambitions. But what astounded them most was the heart questioning pill.

A pill which prevents the outer devils from invading and clearing one's conscience for Dacheng experts and would greatly increase their chances of ascension. What, how could a foundation stage youngster refine this type of pill?

Heaven Seizing Pill was also a similar pill which could assist people in passing the tribulation, but comparatively speaking, the Heaven Seizing Pill itself was quite formidable and has the ability to undergo tribulation, its power was equivalent to receiving a portion or even majority of the heavenly tribulation in place of the person receiving the heavenly tribulation.

Strictly speaking, this was relying on external support, which doesn't provide much help to the cultivation of the person that was undergoing the tribulation.

But the heart questioning pill was different, it allowed the person to keep their conscience clear and stops the invasion of external devils, thus increasing the mental fortitude of the person. Although it doesn't directly increase the spirit power cultivation of the user, if one's conscience during tribulation remains clear then as long as the person has sufficient cultivation base, it was certainly something which would increase his overall realm.

Does this kind of treasure really exist? Both of the sect masters didn't dare to believe it, but, when the light beam from the Second Fierce Yang Courtyard soared over hundred miles into the horizon and remained for a long time without dispersing, the information about this soon spread to Green Jade Immortal Islands and Clear Sky Sect.

Both these sects immediately realized that the Pure Yang Palace was refining some unique godly weapon or perhaps some legendary pill, otherwise, such mystical circumstances wouldn't have happened.

After that, the Palace Master of Pure Yang Palace visited the two big sects again, but this time, he brought the heart questioning pill together with him. He even generously promised that if the Dacheng experts of both sects help them in the campaign, then every one of them would receive two heart questioning pills.

Naturally, no one would believe empty promises, but this time, the Palace Master also brought the real thing. Moreover, what made this deal even more irrefutable was the fact that he even allowed two Dacheng experts, one from each sect, to personally test the medicinal strength of the heart questioning pill.

No one believed that the Palace Master of Pure Yang Palace would personally poison the experts of other sects in their own territories, therefore, both sect delightedly accepted the proposal to test this pill.

Even more interesting was that the experts which both sects sent ahead were both acquaintances of Yang Chen. The Green Jade Immortal Islands was represented by elder Min Huafeng, who had taken the lead during the 'great calamity of devil cultivation', while the Clear Sky School had sent Sun Qingxue's master, elder Hua Wanting.

Under the gazes of some core elders of Green Jade Immortal Islands, elder Min Huafeng somewhat suspiciously took the heart questioning pill. Including the Palace Master of Pure Yang Palace, all the experts present on the scene were tensely watching elder Min Huafeng, fearing if she has made some mistake.

"Shanshan's dao companion refined this?"

After taking the heart questioning pill, there wasn't any great reaction, Min Huafeng faintly smiled. She didn't show any kind of censure towards Yang Chen who had refined the pill, seemingly, she was very satisfied since Yang Chen had taken a trip together with Shi Shanshan:

"Last time, after they went on the trip together, their chemistry seemed perfect, when should we settle their matter!"

After hearing these words, the people in the surrounding seemed to be slightly disappointed, while at the same time feeling slightly relieved. Although this heart questioning pill didn't have any effect as Yang Chen had said, at least it wasn't poisonous, Min Huafeng didn't seem to be suffering from any injuries.

Just when everyone thought this affair was over, suddenly Min Huafeng loudly shouted:

"How can this be?"

After that, she didn't say anything and immediately sat down on the ground in lotus position and entered meditative state.

The people in the surroundings, looked at each other in dismay, unaware of what had happened. Only one thing was certain that Min Huafeng hadn't suffered any injuries, rather was just cultivating normally.

"What is happening?"

After Min Huafeng entered into meditation, the island master of Green Jade Immortal Islands turned towards Palace Master of Pure Yang Palace and asked.

The pitiful Palace Master didn't know what would happen after consuming the heart questioning pill. Although he already had one pill gifted to him by Yang Chen, his current cultivation wasn't sufficient, so how could he waste it? So facing the island master's question, he shook his head with a puzzled expression, indicating that he also wasn't clear.

At this moment, all the elders of Green Jade Immortal Islands became slightly resentful, this was clearly the effect of the elixir given by Pure Yang Palace to the Dacheng expert of their Green Jade Immortal Islands to test. Pure Yang Palace themselves haven't eaten it once, but surprisingly, they still took it out? If not for elder Min Huafeng being in meditation during this whole time without any abnormally, then maybe, some angry words would have come from all these elders.

Beads of cold sweat appeared on the forehead of Palace Master, he also started blaming Yang Chen. Since he had told him about the effects of the elixir, then he should have also told him about the working of the elixir and what would happen after taking it, Yang Chen was indeed at fault. But Palace Master also couldn't help but have a few expectations within his heart, if the heart questioning pill really works as Yang Chen had said, then how would elder Min Huafeng change?

Elder Min Huafeng had now been cultivating for six months, which really frightened everyone. The Green Jade Immortal Islands sealed this particular guest residence to avoid any disturbance to elder Min Huafeng, causing a lot of sects to inquire about what had happened to result in such an arrangement.

The Palace Master could only stay there, silently waiting. If he had known that this would happen, then he would have made some preparations. Now, he could only rely on the people of Green Jade Immortal Islands to convey some information to Pure Yang Palace without any complaints.

This was a matter related to Pure Yang Palace, so obviously, it was left to Shi Shanshan, who had already been appointed as Yang Chen's dao companion.

Unfortunately, during the time Shi Shanshan made a few trips to Pure Yang Palace, Yang Chen was always training in seclusion, so she couldn't meet Yang Chen, but during the few times she frequented Pure Yang Palace to communicate the message of Palace Master, it created a misunderstanding among all disciples of Pure Yang Palace that Palace Master had already given his consent to the relationship of Yang Chen and Shi Shanshan.

Countless people were secretly envious of Yang Chen, the world famous Fairy Shi, although she always had a cold expression, she was indeed a beautiful woman. High cultivation base, famous background, who knows how many virtues had Yang Chen amassed in exchange for getting in the good graces of Fairy Shi.

During these six months, the upper echelons of Pure Yang Palace and Green Jade Immortal Islands were waiting restlessly and yet expectantly. Then finally, one day, elder Min suddenly took a deep breath and lightly groaned, stopping her cultivation, she slowly opened her eyes.

The elders of Green Jade Immortal Islands were carefully guarding this area. When they saw elder Min open her eyes, they were delighted and hastily sent the news to Island Master and Palace Master. Both of them rushed over here, but elder Min seemed to not have awakened properly, she had not spoken anything yet.

A group of people were nervously monitoring elder Min's situation, they wanted to question her but were afraid to agitate her, all of them were ready to speak but kept on hesitating. If some outside saw the upper echelons of Green Jade Immortal Islands collectively knitting their brows in anxiousness, they would certainly think that the Green Jade Immortal Islands was facing some catastrophe.

"What a pity!"

Elder Min finally opened her mouth, but her first words alarmed Palace Master. Elder Min felt that just one word of regret was not enough and she shook her head again and added in:

"Extremely unfortunate!"

Palace Master immediately became depressed, from the looks it, it seems like this heart questioning pill doesn't have the effect which Yang Chen said it would have, otherwise, elder Min won't have such extreme regret.

Originally, he had thought that elder Min suddenly cultivating and persisting for six months was because of this heart questioning pill, but now, it seems that he was completely wrong. Perhaps, the hopes of Pure Yang Palace on Hundred Thousand Mountains would also be slowly quashed.

This little disciple Yang Chen had really grown arrogant these days after curing Senior black tiger's injuries and refining some elixir used by Dacheng stage expert. Obviously, Palace Master also felt that he himself was also in the wrong to have complete confidence in Yang Chen after seeing his confidence and thus had made such mistake and gratuitously made a joke of himself in Green Jade Immortal Islands, especially after he himself had come to their sect boasting about it.

While he was blaming himself, elder Min Huafeng stood up and suddenly made a bow towards Palace Master. This action of his confused Palace Master so much that he forgot to return the greeting. This was a Dacheng expert, a senior, how could she bow towards a junior? Could it be………..

"Formidable heart questioning pill!"

After the salute, elder Min sighed, feeling that it wasn't enough to express her regret, she again regretted:

"What a pity that I have taken the elixir too early!"

"Uncle master?"

The Island Master of Green Jade Immortal Islands was greatly surprised, elder Min's sentence was clearly directed towards the effects of the heart questioning pill.

"What a pity, I wasted such a good elixir."

Elder Min sighed again and soon after, said to everyone:

"I have already broken through the mid Dacheng stage."

Bang, even if everyone present on scene had the cultivation and mental state of a YuanYing stage elder, upon hearing elder Min's words, they couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

Hearing elder Min's words, Palace Master was shocked to the core, unable to say anything.

Elder Min's cultivation had been stuck at the mid Dacheng stage for a long time, even the battle during the 'great calamity of devil cultivation' wasn't of any help. But unexpectedly, under the effect of just one pill, within a short time of six months, she had broken through and entered the late Dacheng stage. This was the reason for the astonishment experienced by the elders of Green Jade Immortal Islands.

A pill could allow elder Min to break through the bottleneck of mid Dacheng stage without any unique signs, this simply toppled all their knowledge.

"After taking the pill, I had unconsciously and single-mindedly concentrated on cultivation with all my attention, the spirit power of my entire body was moving around like a single thread and there were no external thoughts in my mind, so how could there be an appearance of some unusual occurrence."

Elder Min herself had taken the elixir, so naturally, she realized this in greater detail and gave a fine explanation:

"Unfortunately, I had taken the elixir too early, otherwise, if I had taken it at the late stage bottleneck or perhaps before ascension, then my strength would have increased much more compared to right now!"

This explanation finally made everyone realize why elder Min had felt so much regret after waking up. Using such a formidable elixir at the mid Dacheng stage bottleneck was indeed great pity. Palace Master suddenly thought he was going to rely on this elixir to pass the Yin Fire tribulation to enter the Dacheng stage, wasn't that even more wasteful?

Naturally, this thought only came once to Palace Master's mind, Yang Chen had said that after 30 years, he would refine another batch. So although this heart questioning pill was extremely precious to other sects, to Pure Yang Palace, it couldn't be considered as precious.

Once he thought of this, his previous thoughts about scolding Yang Chen were thrown away in some unknown corner. Currently, his mind was only thinking about ways of exploiting this heart questioning pill and negotiating its price with Green Jade Immortal Islands to get as many benefits as he could.

"Then, this time, all three Dacheng experts of my Green Jade Immortal Islands will join the campaign against Hundred Thousand Mountains."

Seeing the formidable effects of heart questioning pill, in addition to the lure of ample profits of Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Island Master of Green Jade Immortal Islands immediately nodded his head:

"As for how to coordinate and how to attack, we will have to depend on fellow daoist to make the decision."

These words clearly implied that the Island Master had given the authority to Pure Yang Palace. This was something which had never happened before, even Palace Master was only thinking that as long as Green Jade Immortal Islands supported Pure Yang Palace that would be enough, he hadn't expected that Pure Yang Palace would possess the initiative in this collaboration.

But Green Jade Immortal Islands was delighted. The heart questioning pill was formidable, even breaking through mid Dacheng stage was easy. If the Green Jade Immortal Islands obtains the remaining five pills, then not counting the three pills used by each Dacheng expert during ascension, there would still be two pills remaining, sufficient for Green Jade Immortal Islands to gain two more Dacheng experts.

If any among the three current Dacheng expert doesn't need a pill during ascension, that meant that they could gain one more Dacheng expert. So even if all three Dacheng experts of Green Jade Immortal Islands ascend, they would still be counted as a big sect.

The relationship between Shi Shanshan and Yang Chen, this pill concocting master with boundless prospects, must not be destroyed by anyone. If anyone dares to interfere with these two, they would be mortal enemies of Green Jade Immortal Islands!

Chapter 217- Another Small Shock

28 Sep 2017

Note:These are the chapters for 9,11,13,15,17,19 september.

After the cooperation was smoothly negotiated with Green Jade Immortal Islands and it was time for Palace Master to go to Clear Sky Sect, his chest was puffed up far more compared to before. The same conditions, one Dacheng expert get two heart questioning pills, the same problem, they would be allowed to test the effects of pill first.

Palace Master gave selective details about his experience at Green Jade Immortal Islands, the most important point was that after using heart questioning pill, elder Min broke through the bottleneck of the mid Dacheng stage and entered the late Dacheng stage within only six months. Even though elder Min had consented to this fact, Palace Master had no choice but to oblige with the wishes of upper echelons of Clear Sky Sect and allow them to test the pill.

The higher ups of Clear Sky Sect didn't have any doubt regarding Palace Master's words. In reality, they had also received the information from Green Jade Immortal Islands that confirmed that Pure Yang Palace and Green Jade Immortal Islands have formed a collaboration, which clearly illustrated that Palace Master's words were completely true.

However, even though Pure Yang Palace and Green Jade Immortal Islands had confirmed that the benefits of the heart questioning pill were great, the Clear Sky Sect certainly could not accept it so easily without testing once. At least after someone from Clear Sky Sect had personally tested the effects, then it would provide an authentic proof that the heart questioning pill's medicinal effects were genuine.

It hadn't been long since elder Hua Wanting had come out of seclusion and was guiding her outstanding disciple Sun Qingxue, moreover, as it turned out, she was the only one among the few Dacheng experts of the sect who wasn't in seclusion.

Naturally, Palace Master wouldn't want to lightly disturb the seclusion of Dacheng experts of another sect, so the burden of testing the pill fell onto Hua Wanting's head.

With the experience at Green Jade Immortal Islands, this time Palace Master had made proper arrangements. Not only had he brought one elder together with him, he had also gotten two JieDan stage disciples to act as messengers.

Before Hua Wanting took the pill, Palace Master properly consulted with Clear Sky Sect that he would return to Pure Yang Palace during the time that she was cultivating after taking the pill and would leave that elder behind at Clear Sky Sect, who would be responsible for maintaining contact.

However, even if he was sufficiently prepared, elder Hua Wanting's reaction after taking the pill was completely different from Elder Min Huafeng, which alarmed the Palace Master.

Elder Min Huafeng had immediately sat down to cultivate, but elder Hua Wanting's situation was completely different from that calm cultivation, rather, her appearance was one that was insisting on battle. Even though she didn't make any movements, everyone in the surrounding felt a dense battle intent which let them baffled.

If Yang Chen was here, then he would have realized that it was because their experiences were completely different, so naturally, their situation would also be different. Before reaching Dacheng stage, elder Hua Wanting had been battling with the Blood Phantom Vine continuously for 100 years.

This situation lasted a whole century, which resulted in the circumstances where elder Hua Wanting would have the highest concentration and remove all external thoughts during a battle. Because of this reason, her current appearance wasn't that surprising.

Because elder Hua Wanting's situation was different, Palace Master didn't have any option other than to stay there for several more days to observe the situation before leaving. Therefore, as the pill concocting master who had refined the heart questioning pill, Yang Chen automatically became the conversation topic of both sides.

"Your sect's disciple Yang Chen has some relationships with the outstanding genius of my sect, Sun Qingxue."

The Clear Sky Sect's sect master said in extremely casual tone:

"Sun Qingxue wants to be dao companion with your sect's Yang Chen, can Palace Master help us accomplish it?"

"This……"

Palace Master can't help but think to himself. Last time, Yang Chen had already discussed the matter of Sun Qingxue with him. Originally, he had believed that Sun Qingxue was only blowing hot air, but now, surprisingly, the sect master of Clear Sky Sect had personally asked him, which made the situation completely different.

"To be honest, the JieDan stage disciple of Green Jade Immortal Islands, Shi Shanshan also wants to become Yang Chen's dao companion."

After thinking about this, Palace Master didn't intend to beat around the bush and directly told his difficulty:

"So you see, this can't be done!"

"What can't be done?"

The Clear Sky Sect was a big sect so they were more arrogant, unlike Pure Yang Palace who was more humble. The sect master aggressively said:

"Sun Qingxue has a full wood spirit root, her cultivation is also comparable to Yang Chen. Wood rouses fire so their attributes are also compatible, unlike that girl Shi Shanshan who is metal attributed, which would just restrain him. Moreover, she had been cultivating for countless years, isn't the age difference between those two too big? Furthermore, my little Xue's nature is better than that girl Shanshan, isn't it?"

Hearing the aggressive tone of Clear Sky Sect's sect master, Palace Master could only force a smile. Clear Sky Sect's sect master had spoken so confidently, which he couldn't match. Moreover, it seems that both these females have their heart set on Yang Chen at the same time, in fact, the best outcome in this situation would be that Yang Chen accepts both of them. This would prevent further troubles. But unfortunately, Yang Chen was determined to even reject this type of heavenly matched dao companions.

"It's a matter between disciples, it would be better if they resolve it themselves!"

Having no alternative, Palace Master could only delay as he had done at Green Jade Immortal Islands.

"Yeah that will be better, but Pure Yang Palace also shouldn't be biased towards one and discriminate against the other!"

The sect master of Clear Sky Sect seemed to have been convinced easily, but his last line about being biased towards someone and discriminating against the other confused Palace Master.

"Last time, Yang Chen had gone on a trip for more than one year with that girl Shanshan!"

Clear Sky Sect's sect master didn't beat around the bush and openly told:

"It is reported that this was a decision of both sect, my little Xue should also receive the same treatment, this shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Yes, well said, that won't be a problem!"

Palace Master quickly replied, however, he scolded Yang Chen in his heart again. Little bastard, two fairy-like women, both of whom were cultivation genius with full spirit roots, both of them want to be his dao companion.

But surprisingly, he was using all sorts of excuses and making things difficult for his Palace Master everywhere. After returning, he must have a proper chat with Yang Chen about this matter.

Yang Chen was completely unaware that he had become the target of both sects. However, they were not fighting over his heart questioning pill, rather, to make him marry into their sect. But fortunately, Yang Chen had been busy absorbing and fusing the flames after pill concocting and since he was in seclusion, the Palace Master didn't want to disturb him.

This time, elder Hua Wanting's pill testing lasted for one whole year, double the time compared to elder Min Huafeng. This caused everyone who had known elder Min's cultivation time to become anxious. But fortunately, elder Hua's breath was still stable, so no one panicked and calmly waited.

After one year, elder Hua Wanting finally finished her cultivation in a way similar to elder Min. Coincidently, her first words after completing the cultivation were completely identical to elder Min.

"What a pity!"

After she sighed, everyone felt slightly depressed. No one had seen elder Min's cultivation previously, the only one who had seen it was Palace Master, who wasn't present. So elder Hua's words alarmed everyone.

"It really is good!"

Elder Hua Wanting didn't make everyone wait and after sighing once, she quickly explained the result of her pill testing:

"Although my cultivation increased greatly, I still couldn't breakthrough, if I had taken this pill at a bottleneck, then the results would have been even better."

"External devil can't invade one's conscience, this heart questioning pill really deserves its name."

While speaking, elder Hua began to praise the effects of the heart questioning pill:

"This was refined by Yang Chen? That little friend has some karma with me, so without any doubt, my little Xue must become his dao companion."

When the elder of Pure Yang Palace that was left behind heard that Sun Qingxue also wanted to become Yang Chen's dao companion, he was stupefied. What kind of luck has this lucky bastard Yang Chen got? Two exceptionally gifted and gorgeous women were fighting to become his dao companion?

Regardless of what was said, this time, the Clear Sky Sect had also expressed rare sincerity in collaborating for the matter of both heart questioning pills and Hundred Thousand Mountain. Moreover, not willing to fall behind Green Jade Immortal Islands, the Clear Sky Sect also similar sent three Dacheng experts to go to battle, their other conditions were also similar to Green Jade Immortal Islands, they also gave the authority to command to Pure Yang Palace.

The only difference was that elder Hua Wanting was not included within the three Dacheng experts sent by Clear Sky Sect, she was considered to be additionally invited by Yang Chen, so her joining the campaign this time could be considered as repaying the favour she owed to Yang Chen, as well as to obtain a heart questioning pill at the same time. Merely, how the Clear Sky Sect distributed the heart questioning pills of their quota was their sect's internal matter.

Naturally, elder Hua Wanting required for Yang Chen to personally come and invite her. Even if she owed Yang Chen a favour, doing this would be proper etiquette.

Regardless of what was said, after elder Hua and elder Min had tested the pill, all the elders of Clear Sky Sect and Green Jade Immortal Islands were astonished by the formidable efficacy of the heart questioning pill, while at the same time, feeling more expectant.

For the time being, the people who knew about heart questioning pill were few, including the few elders and hall master of Pure Yang Palace, Clear Sky Sect's upper echelons as well as higher ups of Green Jade Immortal Islands.

However, this didn't hinder their yearning towards the heart questioning pill. Since the upper echelons of both Clear Sky Sect and Green Jade Immortal Islands had personally seen the effects of heart questioning pill, they attached even more value to it compared to everyone from Pure Yang Palace.

In any case, apart from Palace Master and that elder, the others in Pure Yang Palace didn't know the formidable effect of the heart questioning pill and since both of them had maintained their silence for the time being, everyone still had some doubts towards it.

A pill that could allow Dacheng experts to breakthrough, this was a heaven-shattering effect. After discussing the details of their cooperation with Palace Master, both these big sect immediately began to question about the details of refining this heart questioning pill.

As for the complete pill recipe and refining technique, even if Palace Master wanted to tell them, it was impossible as only Yang Chen had those details. Only, Yang Chen hadn't concealed the ingredients required in refining and generously informed Palace Master. The Palace Master also didn't hide it from their allies and similarly informed the people of these two big sects about the ingredients.

All Dacheng experts have exceptional knowledge and could identify what's in the elixir and what's not, so they could basically confirm a portion of the herbs. Among the ingredients told by Palace Master, elder Hua and elder Min both had faintly detected the flavour of few materials. Only, how these materials were refined that they attained the effect of heart questioning pill was something they couldn't understand, it was probably due to a unique refining technique.

Because the ingredients were rare, there weren't many pills refined this time. To ensure that their campaign against Hundred Thousand Mountain succeeds, the Pure Yang Palace had taken out all the heart questioning pill to invite experts, there were no pills remaining in the sect.

However, Palace Master had generously declared to the allies that as long as they could get the ingredients, Yang Chen would absolutely refine them some pills for a price.

As for the price, that could be discussed with Yang Chen when the time comes. Maybe, at that time, Yang Chen would have become dao companion with Shi Shanshan and Sun Qingxue and maybe he would refine the pills without any charge.

Maybe Shi Shanshan and Sun Qingxue had their own different reasons to become Yang Chen's dao companions, but now, just this heart questioning pill was sufficient to make sure that these two big sects spared no efforts to facilitate that their sect's disciple was connected to Pure Yang Palace by marriage.

Even the current mortal world's number one pill concocting master Deng Yi couldn't compare to such a formidable pill concocting master. If Yang Chen's cultivation hadn't been low, then maybe he would have already taken the throne for the number one pill concocting master from Deng Yi.

Both big sects felt boundless jealousy towards Pure Yang Palace for obtaining a treasure like Yang Chen. Especially Green Jade Immortal Islands, they felt great sorrow. Previously, before Yang Chen had started cultivating, their disciple Shi Shanshan had already met with Yang Chen. Moreover, she had also gifted him a body refining pill, how could they have missed the chance to recruit him into their sect.

Yang Chen was completely oblivious to the fact that he had gained the attention of upper echelons of these two big sects. According to his plan, after smoothly observing the flames and improving his cultivation, he ended his seclusion.

The first thing that Yang Chen did after coming out of seclusion wasn't to go and meet Palace Master, but rather, to go see his master, Gao Yue. For a long time, he hadn't seen his master and didn't know how she was doing.

Yang Chen was delighted at the fact that not only Gao Yue but his great master Wang Yong had also finally come out of seclusion.

Presently, Gao Yue was already at the peak of initial foundation stage in water attributed cultivation, just on the verge of breaking through to mid foundation stage. Her cultivation was so fast that even she herself didn't dare to believe it. With this speed, Gao Yue was already comparable to a heavenly talent who has full water attributed spirit root, this placed Gao Yue at a loss.

Equally confused was Wang Yong, in any case, he was unable to understand for what reason his disciple, who has a fire spirit root, could cultivate water attributed cultivation method so quickly.

He knew that Yang Chen had urged her, but he hadn't told them the reason and Wang Yong also hadn't asked him, since he knew that Yang Chen would never hurt Gao Yue in any way, no matter what.

Wang Yang's main target during closed-door training was to refine the qilin's horn. When Yang Chen was refining the black tiger suppressing pill, Wang Yong had already entered seclusion. From that day to now, 20 years had already passed.

It must be known that Wang Yong was at the peak of YuanYing stage, his talent in cultivation was at least a hundredfold higher compared to Yang Chen. Within short 20 years, he had completely refined the qilin's horn to make his destined flying sword.

After his destined flying sword was completed, the only thing left was to dip and refine it in his spirit sea over several years. This was a lifetime process, so it doesn't require him to remain in seclusion.

After coming out of seclusion, Wang Yong heard everything about Yang Chen's grand plan and the matter of the heart questioning pill. After hearing everything from the Palace Master, Wang Yong also couldn't help but gasp. Since Gao Yue had accepted Yang Chen as her disciple, surprises continuously keep coming from his side.

"Did you find anything about that traitor?"

Feeling even more satisfied with Yang Chen, Wang Yong became even more anxious about his safety and the first question he asked the Palace Master was about the information on the spy.

Chapter 218- Huge Trap

23 Oct 2017

Facing Wang Yong's question, Palace Master knitted his brows before finally giving him an ambiguous reply:

"We have a suspect for the time being, but we still don't have any concrete evidence."

Wang Yong creased his brows, clearly feeling dissatisfied. He was Palace Master's senior apprentice brother, so naturally, he could have this attitude towards Palace Master when they were alone.

Palace Master also didn't tangle much with this question. During the investigation through the countless years, the Law Enforcement Hall hadn't relaxed even a bit, but that traitor seemed to have sensed something and hadn't shown his presence. This matter of the Hundred Thousand Mountain was also another opportunity. At least with this opportunity, if the traitor knew about this, shouldn't he inform the Greatest Heaven Sect?

Next, the Palace Master introduced Yang Chen's grand plan for the Hundred Thousand Mountain in detail. While at the same time, the Palace Master also told Wang Yong about the heart questioning pill. Particularly, he was extremely envious that Yang Chen had left a heart questioning pill for Wang Yong. Although the Palace Master himself had one, Wang Yong hadn't done anything in these matters which would earn him the pill. Therefore, Palace Master couldn't help but feel envy.

While Yang Chen was in seclusion absorbing the flames, Wang Yong felt great satisfaction upon hearing about how remarkable his grand disciple was. Once the information about the heart questioning pill became public, then those doubts about the Heaven Seizing Pill would also disappear.

All of these concerns were trifling matters. What really got Wang Yong excited was Yang Chen's grand plan. Swallowing the entire Hundred Thousand Mountain wasn't something that anyone in the Pure Yang Palace would dare to think about before Yang Chen came.

When Gao Yue heard about all these topics from Wang Yong, she felt even more delighted. The main reason why Yang Chen intended to attack the Hundred Thousand Mountain was still because of Gao Yue. Compared to others, Gao Yue understood this point most clearly. Even though, these days, Gao Yue had endured and hadn't gone to see Yang Chen, but she still paid close attention to information about him everyday.

She waited for Yang Chen to come out of seclusion with great difficulty, and as expected, Yang Chen directly went to meet Wang Yong. Wang Yong was extremely excited and showed Yang Chen the qilin horn destined flying sword Wang Yong had refined. He acted as though he was showing his own child.

It had to be said that Wang Yong was an exceptional tool refining master. The sword completely adhered to the characteristics of the qilin horn with only slight transformations to the horn, which was used as the foundation by adding some materials. The blazing flying sword seemed to give a burning sensation when held in hand.

Any enemy facing this sword would not be able to avoid the impression of being absolutely unable to escape annihilation under Wang Yong's hand. Under the crazy fire attribute, the killing intent of the ninth water attribute was completely concealed. Unexpectedly, Wang Yong hadn't wasted this attribute, and as such, he proved himself to be an expert.

In front of his great master, Yang Chen didn't hide his knowledge. Holding the qilin flying sword in both hands, he closed his eyes and used his spiritual awareness to examine it. Within the spirit sea, a magnified qilin sword quickly appeared.

"Great master, forgive the disciple for being impudent."

After observing it for a good while Yang Chen opened his eyes and first asked forgiveness from Wang Yong.

Both Wang Yong and Gao Yue didn't understand what Yang Chen meant, however Wang Yong indicated that there was no harm in speaking his mind.

"The sharp end is completely perfect, but there are defects on the sword on this side, particularly here, here and here."

Yang Chen pointed out three places:

"At these places, the supplemental materials haven't completely combined with the qilin horn, allowing some ninth water spirit power to leak out, which isn't good. Additionally…."

Hearing Yang Chen's words, Gao Yue's complexion turned unsightly and she immediately reprimanded him:

"Yang Chen!"

Wang Yong was Gao Yue's master, but this grand disciple, Yang Chen, was surprisingly being so impudent in front of him.

Seeing that Gao Yue's wasn't happy, Yang Chen could only force a bitter smile and closed his mouth, without saying another word.

But unlike Gao Yue, Wang Yong didn't seemed to be offended. Hearing Yang Chen's words, he held the flying sword in his hand and explored the three places where Yang Chen had mentioned using his spiritual awareness. The flying sword was his destined flying sword and was mentally linked to him, so he quickly discovered the trace of spirit power leaking out. If Yang Chen hadn't pointed the leak out, then just with his spiritual awareness, he wouldn't have been able to sense this little amount of spirit power.

At this time, Wang Yong's expression transformed, he looked at Yang Chen as if seeing some monster. That burning gaze somewhat confused Gao Yue.

"Additionally what?"

Wang Yong hastily asked. Yang Chen had said additionally before he was interrupted by Gao Yue, so clearly there was some other problem as well.

"Master!"

Gao Yue anxiously protested and complained:

"If you continue spoiling him like this, then in the future he will be even more impudent."

"His words were correct. There were indeed some flaws in this flying sword."

Wang Yong realized why Yang Chen asked for his forgiveness before. He handed the flying sword to Gao Yue, signaling her to carefully observe it.

Gao Yue was also a tool refining expert, although she wasn't as formidable as Wang Yong, she could still be called a rare talent. Seeing this, she doubtfully took the flying sword and began to probe it carefully with her spiritual awareness.

After Wang Yong had finished refining the sword, and when Gao Yue had first checked it, she hadn't sense any problems with it. But now, after she had focus on the particular places to find the flaws, it became much easier.

However, even then, Gao Yue had to spend a long time and was only able to discover one place where spirit power was leaking. There was nothing that could be done about her abilities, as amongst the three of them, her spiritual awareness was the weakest. Moreover, this flying sword wasn't her destined flying sword. Likewise, she didn't have the ability to channel the flying sword within her spirit sea, so discovering any flaws wasn't easy for her. If it was someone else in her place, they wouldn't have been able discover anything even if Yang Chen pointed out the flaws.

"This small leak which takes a long time to discover shouldn't be much of a problem, right?"

Gao Yue gently said. Although she discovered that Yang Chen's words were true, but Gao Yue didn't think this little leak would be such a big problem.

"It's not a big problem for the time being."

Yang Chen smiled and shook his head:

"However, in the future, if great master continues refining and using this as a foundation, then these few regions can become weak points of this dual attributed flying sword, which might be discovered by experts. Then, this secret weapon would cease to remain secret."

His words were comparatively polite, in case Wang Yong's trump card was discovered by someone, that would be dangerous. Facing normal experts wouldn't be a problem, but in case he encountered someone who could discover these flaws, then the discovery would likely result in a hidden disaster.

"What else?"

Wang Yong repeated his question again and waited for Yang Chen's reply.

"A destined flying sword really doesn't need such a superfluous sword hilt."

Yang Chen smiled and pointed towards that seemingly exquisite sword hilt:

"Great master's characteristic isn't to hold the sword and attack, which is different from disciple. This sword hilt can affect the qilin horn's completeness. It is like drawing legs on a snake and is completely unnecessary. Instead, removing it would be better."

"In the last few years, I have sensed that this flying sword seems to be missing something."

After saying this, Wang Yong suddenly laughed as if he had gained enlightenment:

"But now, I realize that this was because of this sword hilt. Indeed, it is completely unnecessary."

Gao Yue didn't say anything anymore, this disciple Yang Chen seemed more and more mysterious in her eyes. When she heard that Yang Chen had refined a super elixir like the heart questioning pill, she wasn't surprised. From the beginning, Yang Chen had appeared to her as an extremely formidable pill concocting master. But how could he be so proficient in refining tools?

Not only Gao Yue, even Wang Yong was also completely stunned. Although his shock was deeper than Gao Yue's, being a peak YuanYing stage expert, none of the surprise showed on his face like it did on Gao Yue's expression.

But still, Wang Yong gasped in admiration in his heart. It seems like this grand disciple of his had many deeply concealed secrets. After refining something like the heart questioning pill, Yang Chen even gave him such a big surprise.

Regardless of whatever was said, regardless of whatever kind of monster Yang Chen was, he was still Wang Yong's own grand disciple and Gao Yue's disciple. The more outstanding he was, the more glory he would bring for Wang Yong.

All the things Yang Chen mentioned were small worries, for the time being, there wasn't anyone in the mortal world who could realize these flaws, so mending these flaws later wouldn't create problems. Currently, the main priority should be the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Compared to anyone else, Wang Yong had a clearer understanding of the benefits his sect would obtain if they could succeed in capturing and holding the Hundred Thousand Mountains with the help of a few other sects. When that time came, Pure Yang Palace's strength would increase exponentially. Such a big matter should be treated as the most important and urgent matter.

Naturally, the heart questioning pill was also delivered to Wang Yong. Yang Chen didn't need to hide anything from his great master:

"Great master, quickly consume this heart questioning pill, you strength will increase greatly so that when the time comes for the main battle, you will be considered as another powerhouse. Furthermore, in the future, I will refine another batch of these pills, so don't feel anxious about using it now."

When Wang Yong had first told Gao Yue about this heart questioning pill, she had understood that it was a peerless elixir, but hadn't expected that Yang Chen would so lightly give one to Wang Yong. She was thinking of saying something, but suddenly she remembered the countless peeled fruits in her qiankun pouch for everyday consumption. She seemed to have realized something and didn't say anything.

The planning for capturing the Hundred Thousand Mountain had already been going on for five years. All the sects involved were properly coordinating with each other and were only waiting for the Pure Yang Palace to lead the attack. But before that, Yang Chen still had to make a trip to personally invite the people he knew.

Senior black tiger of the Beast Taming Sect, Elder Hua Wanting of the Clear Sky Sect — both of them had to be personally invited by Yang Chen. This was necessary etiquette expected from a younger generation. While at the same time, Yang Chen's trip was also an opportunity to capture the traitor hidden in the sect.

In fact, the whole matter of the Hundred Thousand Mountain was just a huge trap. When Yang Chen revealed his plans in front of all hall masters and elders, he had already set the bait. After that, he immediately communicated with the Palace Master and hall master Meng Xian in secret.

Speaking franking, Yang Chen already suspected someone in the upper echelons of his sect was the spy for the Greatest Heaven Sect. As for whom he suspected, hall master Liang Shaoming of Luminous Moon Hall bore suspicion, which even both Palace Master and Meng Xian understood. However, when he mentioned his suspicion, it was too specific and both the Palace Master and Meng Xian could only force a smile.

Pure Yang Palace certainly couldn't just punish a hall master with just mere suspicion without any proof. The benefits of the Hundred Thousand Mountain campaign were indeed gigantic. Moreover, if they succeeded, then not only the Pure Yang Palace, but even the supporting sects like the Beast Taming Sect, the Clear Sky Sect and the Green Jade Immortal Islands would also benefit greatly.

The Beast Taming Sect could still be tolerated, no matter how much it grew, they wouldn't be able to stand on equal footing with the Greatest Heaven Sect even with the conquest of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Clear Sky Sect and Green Jade Immortal Islands were different. If they succeeded, then they would definitely be placed above the Greatest Heaven Sect. Moreover, the benefit based alliance of these two big sects would certainly cause a big headache for the Greatest Heaven Sect.

Previously, there was no important information which might cause the traitor to move, but this time, the influence and consequences of this affair were too great. If nothing happened, then that would clearly explain that the traitor was not among the upper echelons of the Pure Yang Palace.

Moreover, if the Greatest Heaven Sect wasn't stupid, then they wouldn't do anything which would set themselves against the alliance of the Clear Sky Sect, the Green Jade Immortal Islands, the Beast Taming Sect and the Pure Yang Palace. The Hundred Thousand Mountains weren't like Desolate Valley which was already under someone's influence. This region was located on the boundary of dao, devil and demon — three powers. If it was captured by a dao sect, then certainly that would be good news. Someone trying to destroy them from inside would be considered a traitor to all dao sects.

However, the Greatest Heaven Sect wouldn't miss this opportunity. To regain their lost influence, there was only one way, and that was to attack Yang Chen. When Yang Chen was in seclusion, the Greatest Heaven Sect couldn't do anything, but since he had stepped out, that precisely was the chance they were waiting for.

Yang Chen had already committed to the higher ups of the Pure Yang Palace that as long as the ingredients were available, he would again refine a batch of heart questioning pill after 30 years. As long as they could obtain the heart questioning pill and its recipe, then even if they lost the benefits of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Greatest Heaven Sect with more experts would still be able to stand up as equals to those two sects.

Presently, Yang Chen's cultivation base was only at the foundation stage, but he still could kill a YuanYing stage expert. Even though his formidable magic weapon had played a big role in his victory, he had already become very difficult to deal with. If they waited for his cultivation to increase again and reach the JieDan stage before attacking, then it would become even more difficult to get rid of him. After all, with the increase in the master's cultivation, the strength of their magic weapons also increased. This fact was common sense.

Therefore, they needed to deal with Yang Chen as soon as possible — the sooner the better. Even if they couldn't capture him alive, killing him was also another way. In any case, the people of the Greatest Heaven Sect never thought Yang Chen as any good. It would be better to kill him. At least in the future, the Pure Yang Palace wouldn't have the chance to rise to power.

Yang Chen himself was the bait and only needed to wait to see whether the people of Greatest Heaven Sect bit or didn't bite. Naturally, all this was kept secret from Gao Yue as Yang Chen didn't want her to worry about him.

As for Wang Yong, he also didn't have any clear idea in the beginning, but later, the Palace Master found a good opportunity and told him secretly. Only then did Wang Yong know that Yang Chen was taking such a risk. Later, Wang Yong secretly met with Yang Chen but didn't inform Gao Yue.

"When you go, I am coming with you."

Wang Yong didn't have any intention of debating his intentions with Yang Chen and directly gave his decision:

"Don't try to make excuses, I know you have things like a Medicine Garden, so no one will know I am going with you."

Yang Chen didn't try to refuse Wang Yong's decision . His master's strength was a little weak, but the great master was at the peak the YuanYing stage. Together with his destined flying sword, even if he encountered a Dacheng expert, he had the strength to hold his own. So obviously, Yang Chen wouldn't reject the assistance of his great master and nodded his head.

Naturally, another major character, the old tree demon Gui Shanyou, was also accompanying him. Until now, only a part of his body had appeared in front of everyone. Apart from Gao Yue and Yang Chen, no one knew where his main body was. When Yang Chen went out this time, Gui Shanyou's main body also moved into domed palace hall. The strength of his main body was more formidable compared to the other portions. He himself could hold his own against two or three ordinary Dacheng experts.

Wang Yong again disappeared before the eyes of everyone under the excuse of entering seclusion for a brief period. Everyone thought he had gone to cultivate, but hadn't anticipated that he was hidden in Yang Chen's domed palace hall and was accompanying Yang Chen on his trip.

Yang Chen going out of the mountain meant that huge bait had been set. Now they only had to wait for the response of the Greatest Heaven Sect and the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Chapter 219- Main Culprit Hasn't Appeared

23 Oct 2017

Naturally, at this moment, Yang Chen a foundation stage disciple that was going to travel, but if he had to go alone, then that would really be excessively careless. Therefore, two people were appointed to accompany Yang Chen. One was She Kui, and the other was Xie Sha.

The people of Eccentric Hall had pretty good relation with Yang Chen, and everyone in the Pure Yang Palace understood their relationship. Therefore, after assigning two YuanYing experts to follow after him, it seemed like the Pure Yang Palace was serious about protecting the heavenly talent who had the pill recipe of the heart questioning pill.

Old tree demon's main body didn't enter the domed palace hall from Yang Chen's room. Rather it entered after Yang Chen left the Pure Yang Palace mountain. He moved quickly and properly observed everything.

What surprised Yang Chen was that even when his gaze swept over this area and he probed it with his spiritual awareness thread, he still didn't sense anything.

When Gui Shanyou entered the domed palace hall, Wang Yong who was hidden inside, didn't sense anything strange. Such a huge affair, in Yang Chen's view, was comparable to danger. Having Gui Shanyou with him, made him feel much more secure.

Yang Chen didn't use his flying shuttle and instead just took out an ordinary flying sword and began to ride on it towards the Clear Sky Sect.

The Palace Master had already told Yang Chen about Sun Qingxue. Having no option, Yang Chen could only find an opportunity and have a good discussion with her.

On the journey from the sect to the exit on the mountain, they flew on their flying swords, allowing many people to see them. Yang Chen didn't care in the least, as he had wanted the people to see him. If he hadn't wanted to be seen, then why would he fly so openly?

Travel time from there to the Clear Sky Sect would take around one month if they flew slowly. Yang Chen didn't care about the time and calmly flew at normal speed.

When more than ten days had passed, nothing out of ordinary had happened. Yang Chen wasn't worried, as he knew that the Greatest Heaven Sect had endured patiently for several hundred years to lay down their spell formation in the Desolate Valley. Perhaps the Greatest Heaven Sect was only confirming something during those ten days.

When they neared the Clear Sky Sect, Yang Chen didn't wait for the people of the Greatest Heaven Sect to come out. Instead, he had expected the experts of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Once the enemies showed themselves, Yang Chen immediately knew that they belong to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Since they had a devil cultivator and also a demon cultivator in their ranks, they certainly couldn't belong to the Greatest Heaven Sect.

Speaking of experts, they had only sent two YuanYing experts and three JieDan experts. It could be assumed that since their YuanYing expert went missing last time, without any warning, they had increased the number of YuanYing experts this time just to be safe.

They also couldn't do anything about it. Yang Chen also had two YuanYing experts, She Kui and Xie Sha, on his side, so unless the enemy also had two more YuanYing experts, they simply couldn't resist him. The leftover three JieDan experts were probably sent to assist the two YuanYing experts and capture Yang Chen.

Last time, that person had disappeared at the MeiQing Mountain without any news, perhaps the people of the Hundred Thousand Mountain would also have searched for him for long time. They certainly must have felt that he hadn't concealed his movement properly and disturbed the experts of the Pure Yang Palace and had thus been killed. This time, they seemed to have learned the lesson and kept following Yang Chen until he was far away from the Pure Yang Palace. Moreover, only when they didn't see anyone assisting Yang Chen and the others on his journey did they decide to act.

"Seize him!"

The expert who had appeared this time, unlike their last expert, didn't talk much. He immediately started moving as soon as he appeared, not leaving Yang Chen and others with him any time to prepare.

Unfortunately, in front of old tree demon, these people couldn't hide themselves and didn't know that they had been discovered several days ago.

At the instant the enemy attacked, She Kui and Xie Sha, who had been enduring for long, immediately rushed towards them. Under Yang Chen's directions, She Kui and Xie Sha had been refining their destined flying swords during the last twenty years, and they had also obtained little success. During these past ten days, they had been enduring, just restraining their strength, worried that they might not get the chance to show their treasures, so the enemy attacking was exactly what they wanted.

The enemy had been preparing for a long time. One YuanYing expert together with one Jiedan expert against Xie Kui, and the other YuanYing expert and another JieDan expert to deal with Xie Sha. The last JieDan expert rushed towards Yang Chen.

A dazzling huge net, covering a perimeter of several tens of meters dropped on Yang Chen's head. But the enemy using this huge net didn't have any killing intent and only wanted to capture Yang Chen. With the dropping of this net, a heaven defying pressure pushed towards Yang Chen.

This kind of pressure didn't worry or bother Yang Chen, and the people of the Hundred Thousand Mountain weren't the ones he was waiting for. However, since they had come to seek him on their own, Yang Chen also wouldn't be polite.

The huge net knocked off against a tangled tree, and then suspended on top of it. In the next instant, this huge net returned back with even more frightening speed compared to when it had dropped down. The master of this huge net was completely stupefied and didn't know what had happened and was covered by the huge net.

Yang Chen hadn't wanted to tangle with the people of the Hundred Thousand Mountain. He didn't want to alert other enemies and had no option but to ask old tree demon to make his move and quickly settle this.

Wang Yong also wasn't willing to remain idle and couldn't wait to use the newly refined qilin flying sword. The YuanYing expert battling with Xie Sha was afraid of that his spirit power attack might injure Yang Chen and was somewhat restrained from the beginning. Suddenly, a red light flickered and with one thought from that YuanYing expert, a piece of armour appeared in front of him stopping the red light.

Chiii

With a light sound, the red light directly pierced through that piece of armour and stabbed the opponent's chest. Soon, the red light reappeared from the enemy's back.

With a blood curdling scream, that YuanYing expert fighting Xie Sha fell from the sky. Seeing this, the JieDan stage demon beast was astonished and was about to flee. When Xie Sha coldly snorted and released the pressure of a higher grade demon beast, it caused the entire body of that demon beast to become weak. He didn't dare make any movements and curled up on the ground without moving.

The grandeur of the red light hadn't waned and rushed towards the two experts battling She Kui. The YuanYing stage cultivator fighting She Kui was a demon cultivator, seeing the red light, he didn't show anxiousness. His body trembled once and released a black smoke which instantly turned into black fog, which covered his entire body.

When this black smoke touched the body of the assisting JieDan cultivator, a hissing sound could immediately be heard and his clothes instantly turned into rags. Clearly, this black smoke had corrosive properties. She Kui loudly laughed, his body flickered once and entered the black fog without any hesitation.

Wang Yong's qilin sword rushed through the sky and pounced on the other JieDan expert.

"Puchi"

Without giving him any time to respond, it directly stabbed through his body.

In an instant, among the five opponents, two had already died and two others had been subdued. The only one left was the devil cultivator concealed in the black fog who was stubbornly resisting.

However, She Kui didn't make everyone wait for long and within five breaths' time, a blood curdling scream transmitted from the black fog. Soon, the black fog was dispersed by a strong wind. She Kui's snake tooth daggers had pierced through his opponent's shoulders, and the devil cultivator's body was hanging on those daggers and was carried out by She Kui.

With the assistance of old tree demon Gui Shanyou, no one within the surrounding hundred miles would discover what had happened here. Three people were left alive which was sufficient to obtain the information of the Hundred Thousand Mountains' current situation.

That demon beast who had been scared by Xie Sha, was trembling with fear under the pressure of She Kui and Xie Sha. Before these two YuanYing experts, he was curled up on the ground, answering every question asked without daring to hide even the slightest bit of information. Sometimes the workings of the demon beasts' world was much simpler than human world.

Just as Yang Chen had expected, the secret organization in the Hundred Thousand Mountains was still thinking of capturing Yang Chen and was completely engrossed in their wishful thinking. They didn't have the slightest idea about the imminent danger heading their way.

That was kind of expected since, although the Pure Yang Palace had been making arrangements for five years, they had been extremely careful. Other than the upper echelons, no one had any idea about this. Similarly, in other sects also had limited this information to the higher ups without any leaks. The supporting sects also realized that this was a rare opportunity to control the Hundred Thousand Mountains from behind the scenes and didn't want to destroy their chances recklessly.

Even the person whom Yang Chen suspected to be the traitor didn't have any collusion with the Hundred Thousand Mountains. So Yang Chen's information also hadn't been leaked.

Yang Chen questioned him in detail, although it took a long time, it allowed the Pure Yang Palace to have a clearer understanding of the workings of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. However, the knowledge he obtained would still not be enough. It was always better to be prepared.

That person who was entrapped within the huge net was a rogue cultivator and had been staying at the Hundred Thousand Mountains for many years, so he knew how to take advantage of the situation. After he saw Wang Yong killing two people with his sword, he didn't have any idea of resisting and sincerely revealed everything he knew.

Although these two JieDan cultivators couldn't tell much about secret information like the insider details of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the back-stage supporters, the relations of among crews and their strength, they did inform Yang Chen about the circumstances of dao, devil and demon cultivators intermingling in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. This information could be considered as important, since the Pure Yang Palace would have to supervise them one day.

As for that demon cultivator, he had lost consciousness due to severe injuries. After some thinking, Yang Chen handed him over to Wang Yong and old tree demon to torment him in any way and obtain the information from him while also scooping out some precious treasures.

The qiankun pouches of the two dead people had already been swept up by She Kui and Xie She. These two eccentrics had learned the importance of these resources, and had therefore already begun to collect treasures. Naturally, they also had their portion among the things sold within Shangguan Feng's shop, so presently these two could also be considered as wealthy.

The old tree demon calmly threw out some small trees covered all traces of the battle, even the spirit power fluctuations had also been removed.

As for these two JieDan stage cultivators, Yang Chen had thrown them into the domed palace hall after sealing their senses. Since they had cooperated, Yang Chen didn't want to make things difficult for them. After conquering the Hundred Thousand Mountain, he would require some people like these.

The rest of the journey passed without any incident on their way to the Clear Sky Sect. There were no signs of anyone ambushing them. To give face to the Clear Sky Sect, Yang Chen also walked on foot and requested to see the Clear Sky Sect's elder Hua Wanting. Soon after requesting, Sun Qingxue's bouncing figure appeared in front of everyone.

Since She Kui and Xie Sha were also present, Sun Qingxue didn't show any intimacy with Yang Chen and saluted both the eccentrics following the proper etiquette. She then led all three of them to see elder Hua. Although she didn't say anything, Yang Chen could see the happiness in Sun Qingxue's expression.

"This time, this junior has come to request senior's assistance."

In front of elder Hua Wanting, Yang Chen again showed proper manners.

The Palace Master had already clarified about the matter so elder Hua Wanting knew about it clearly. However, Yang Chen had to make this trip to give face to Clear Sky Sect and elder Hua Wanting.

He also delivered the heart questioning pill which he had prepared long ago to elder Hua. Even though, she was a Dacheng expert, but seeing the heart questioning pill, expressions of surprise appeared on her face.

Originally, she had believed that after taking one pill, she wouldn't have the chance to take another. She had never expected that other than using the favour she owed, Yang Chen would surprisingly gift her another pill. Since she had personally experienced the effects of heart questioning pill, she couldn't help but be moved.

"Good, I agree."

Elder Hua finally promised:

"Notify me when to attack."

"Many thanks senior!"

Yang Chen loudly thanked her.

"No need to thank me, I had already promised long ago to help you once."

Hua Wanting didn't accept his gratitude and calmly said. After taking a look at Yang Chen once, suddenly a faint smile appeared on her face:

"Yang Chen, you are compatible with my little Xue, your attributes are also suitable for each other, you should become her dao companion. It would be much better than becoming the dao companion of that girl Shi Shanshan!"

Yang Chen hadn't expected that with her status, elder Hua would say such a thing, causing him to choke on air and cough, putting him at a loss. Elder Hua also wasn't forceful and continued with a smile:

"It's a matter between you juniors, I cannot interfere. We elders forcing you is also not appropriate, I understand that sometimes forcing isn't the best way. I only want to let you know that you don't have to be afraid of the pressure from Green Jade Immortal Islands. You will receive support from little Xue's side but you also cannot be biased."

"Yes, senior!"

Yang Chen absolutely hadn't expected that a Dacheng expert surprisingly would say this to him. At this moment, he also didn't know what to say. Even though he had been a Great Principal Golden Immortal, but didn't have the experience regarding such matter, so he simply agreed.

"Little Xue, you see off Yang Chen!"

Elder Hua instructed Sun Qingxue who was waiting upon them. A smile bloomed on her face, and she led Yang Chen out of the guest hall of Elder Hua.

From beginning to end, Yang Chen had only invited Elder Hua once, but hadn't talked about which matter. Sun Qingxue clearly didn't know about it, and elder Hua also hadn't said anything, so this could be regarded as a little secret between both of them.

Sun Qingxue happily gave a tour of the Clear Sky Sect to Yang Chen. This time, her behaviour was completely different from the last time when she had met Yang Chen. She was confident, beautiful, brimming with enthusiasm, and fully reflected the title of a heavenly talent in the cultivation world. Furthermore, within the sect, no one dared to bully her anymore.

This Sun Qingxue was identical to the Snow Dance Fairy in Yang Chen's memories. Yang Chen felt extremely gratified in his heart while also distressing over the matter of Sun Qingxue and Shi Shanshan in his mind, but he couldn't find any solution over how to resolve it.

Yang Chen didn't spend a long time at the Clear Sky Sect and immediately hurried to the Beast Taming Sect to meet Senior black tiger. Although Sun Qingxue was reluctant to part with him, she could only follow Yang Chen until his figure disappeared, gazing at him with a broken hearted expression.

During the journey to the Beast Taming Sect, Yang Chen suddenly received some information from old tree demon. On the way to Green Jade Immortal Islands, the Palace Master had suffered an accident.

Chapter 220- Traitor Finally Shows His True Nature

23 Oct 2017

Palace Master together with another elder had been enroute to pay a visit to the Green Jade Immortal Islands when they were attacked by some experts with unknown identities.

Five YuanYing and one Dacheng expert had attacked them. According to reason, this kind of formidable force was sufficient to kill both the Palace Master and the accompanying elder. But no one had expected that the result would be completely different.

In fact, only Gui Shanyou hadn't known the identity of these people. Palace Master and the accompanying elder, both of them, had information about these people. Apart from that Dacheng expert, all the YuanYing experts were quite famous. Among them, four were famous rogue cultivators who had been missing for the past few years.

The most shocking thing was that the last YuanYing expert was surprisingly Pure Yang Palace's elder Lin Yunfeng. When Palace Master discovered this, he was so shocked that he couldn't say anything.

Originally, this ambush would indeed have succeeded, but what destroyed their plan was the appearance of the old tree demon Gui Shanyou. No one had expected that Gui Shanyou would be together with Palace Master.

Only Yang Chen knew that the Gui Shanyou over there was only a clone of the old tree demon, his main body was still in Yang Chen's domed palace hall. However, even though it was just a clone, it was also a formidable Dacheng expert who had suppressed the Yin Fire tribulation, so he couldn't help but feel contempt for these people.

Yang Chen had already discussed this plan with the Palace Master long ago. Moreover, Yang Chen having asked the old tree demon to enter his domed palace hall outside Pure Yang Palace was precisely the illusion they wanted to present to others showing that the old tree demon was travelling together with Yang Chen. Under this misconception, no one had expected his clone to appear.

Inside the Pure Yang Palace, only Yang Chen, Gao Yue, She Kui and Xie Sha knew about old tree demon's clone. She Kui and Xie Sha hadn't said anything, and Yang Chen and Gao Yue also didn't reveal anything. Lin Yunfeng and his henchmen only saw the old tree demon leaving with Yang Chen but hadn't imagined the clone of old tree demon would also be accompanying the Palace Master.

During the great calamity of devil cultivation, following Yang Chen's suggestion, Gui Shanyou hadn't shown his complete strength and tried to gain many favours by saving people. But this didn't mean that the cultivation of the clone of old tree demon could be underestimated by others.

Only Yang Chen knew that at that time, if old tree demon's clone had battled with full strength, then no other people would be needed to settle that matter. Even if Lin Chenghe, who had died because of backlash from devil cultivation, and the other two Dacheng experts whom he had absorbed had joined together, then even they would have found it difficult to deal with old tree demon.

Old tree demon had forcibly suppressed the Yin Fire tribulation several times, so the profound strength he had accumulated even made Yang Chen, a Great Principal Golden Immortal, speechless.

Moreover, the old tree demon's clone had another formidable characteristic which others didn't have. It wasn't afraid of dying. If the clone was dead, then the main body would only lose several hundred year's worth of cultivation, so there wouldn't be any severe damage to the main body. Therefore, when needed, the old tree demon won't be miserly with his clone and could control it to detonate anytime.

The formidable power released by the the self detonation of a Dacheng expert was completely unfathomable. With the old tree demon's clone fighting without caring for his life, even the Dacheng expert who had tried to make a sneak attack earlier, also was suppressed and had ran away after getting seriously injured.

In fact, old tree demon knew about each and every movement of most people of Pure Yang Palace like the back of his hand. After the old tree demon had passed the Yin Fire tribulation, countless cassia saplings were born on the MeiQing Mountain. Everyone had believed that they were born because old tree demon had ascended his tribulation, but they didn't know that every one of these cassia trees was a part of his main body.

The root system of these countless trees was merged together with the roots system of the old tree demon's main body, although they weren't his clones, any activity in the surroundings didn't escape old tree demon's notice. Old tree demon clearly knew about all the major activities within the MeiQing Mountain.

When Yang Chen had made this plan of catching the traitor with Palace Master, old tree demon was a major character. As long as anyone was inside the MeiQing Mountains, the old tree demon could find out what they are doing.

During the several years, when Yang Chen was concocting pills and had been cultivating in seclusion, the old tree demon had screened each and everyone in the Pure Yang Palace to check for any abnormality. What made Yang Chen happy was that apart from Luminous Moon Hall's hall master Liang Shaoming and his master Lin Yunfeng together with few other disciples of Luminous Moon Hall, the behaviour of others was completely normal without any abnormality.

If it had been just for a day or two, then that wouldn't have proved anything, but this was the result of countless years of surveillance. Moreover, among the upper echelons, the behaviour of Liang Shaoming and Lin Yunfeng was the strangest. 。 Yang Chen knew, old tree demon also knew, it doesn't mean that the Palace Master also knew. Even if Palace Master would have heard this from Yang Chen and old tree demon, then also he wouldn't have completely believed it. After all, the feud between Yang Chen and Liang Shaoming was public knowledge within the whole Pure Yang Palace, so Yang Chen exposing this wasn't suitable. The best way was to allow them to discover it themselves.

Moreover, the Palace Master going on a trip this time was also the perfect opportunity. In fact, in the past few years, every time the Palace Master went out, he would be accompanied by old tree demon to guard against the unexpected. However, this was a secret which no one knew, Yang Chen had the Medicine Garden so Palace Master who was the sect leader, why won't he have anything like this?

Yang Chen was very important, but his cultivation was low, making it easy to deal with him. But this also meant that everyone's attention would be concentrated on him, so on the contrary he wouldn't be the best target to attack. While the Palace Master, who was a proud YuanYing stage expert, usually went out on his own and was rarely accompanied by elders, so making him an easy target.

But if the Palace Master met with an accident, that would a huge affair. If Greatest Heaven Sect wanted to delay Pure Yang Palace's campaign on Hundred Thousand Mountain, then, rather than colluding with the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it would be better to use the internal strife within the Pure Yang Palace. Moreover, if the Palace Master met with an accident, then it would create large confusion which would delay the matter of Hundred Thousand Mountains for long time.

Furthermore, if the Palace Master met with an accident then the Pure Yang Palace would be like a dragon without its head. Then Lin Yunfeng would also have the opportunity as an elder to become the new Palace Master. With the support of Luminous Moon Hall's hall master Liang Shaoming and external support from Greatest Heaven Sect, his chances to become the Palace Master would increase greatly.

If Lin Yunfeng became the Palace Master then all the previous plans which Pure Yang Palace had made with Green Jade Immortal Islands and Clear Sky Sect would be thrown out of the window. Likewise, with Lin Yunfeng as incharge, it would make inclusion of the Greatest Heaven Sect quite easy.

Perhaps because of this fact, Lin Yunfeng had attacked impatiently. Perhaps he had completely assured or perhaps because he thought that if he also helped them, then they would have higher chance of victory. Lin Yunfeng had also come personally to see Palace Master die.

Facing everyone's attack, Palace Master still couldn't dare to believe that it was surprisingly his own junior apprentice brother, Lin Yunfeng, that would collude with Greatest Heaven Sect to kill him. All the other rogue cultivators were certainly deployed by Greatest Heaven Sect secretly, including that mysterious Dacheng expert. All of them were Greatest Heaven Sect's hidden strength.

Old tree demon's formidable battle prowess left Palace Master gobsmacked. The old tree demon staked his life in fighting with that Dacheng expert and didn't hold back. He attacked without caring for his life. A Dacheng stage expert's pressure erupted out from his body like a rainbow, and within a short time, the opponent coughed up blood and then unleashed a forbidden escape technique at the cost of his cultivation base and disappeared without any trace.

The remaining five YuanYing experts, including Lin Yunfeng, couldn't match the joint attack by the old tree demon, Palace Master and that elder, and in a moment, only three corpses together and a seriously injured Lin Yunfeng were left behind. The last YuanYing expert also coughed up blood and escaped using a forbidden technique.

But the Palace Master was also heavily injured after being secretly attacked by that Dacheng expert at the beginning of the ambush. The other elder was also injured but compared to the Palace Master who had been the target of everyone's attack, his injuries weren't worth mentioning.

"Junior brother Lin!"

Palace Master still wasn't willing to believe that it was surprisingly his own junior brother, Lin Yunfeng, that had personally attacked him. Palace Master popped a healing elixir and before it could take effect, he directly arrived in front of injured Lin Yunfeng and angrily asked:

"What benefits had the Greatest Heaven Sect given you that you had turned traitor? What had they given to you that even the position of an elder wasn't enough?"

"Greatest……..Heaven Sect?"

Covering the injury on his stomach, the extremely weak Lin Yunfeng looked at Palace Master feeling ashamed of himself. But when he heard Palace Master's question, he couldn't help but reveal his surprise:

"I…….hadn't…..colluded…..with……Greatest Heaven Sect?"

"You still aren't willing to admit?"

Palace Master was already shaking due to anger, blood continuously flowed from the wound caused by the magic weapon of that Dacheng expert, a bitter and hateful expression filled his face, all his organs were almost a mess:

"If you hadn't colluded with Greatest Heaven Sect then what will explain the secret spell formation on the sect mountain? How would you explain the leaking of xun qi pill given to new disciples? How would you explain the words of Cheng Wencai who had been sent here to retrieve these things?"

"Senior brother!"

Hearing the questions of Palace Master, Lin Yunfeng immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood and a painful expression appeared on his face.

The elder standing on the side couldn't bear to see this and immediately gave him a healing elixir. After all they belonged to the same sect and had known each other for a long time. He didn't have the heart to see Lin Yunfeng suffer.

However, it was clear that this elixir would only lessen his pain a little bit. His injuries were extremely serious. Other than some legendary herbs, which could get him to rise from deathbed, nothing else would work and he would certainly die.

"I…….I…..only…..wanted….to become….sect leader!"

Lin Yunfeng explained in a stammering voice:

"I………..haven't…….colluded……with…….Greatest Heaven Sect!"

"You really haven't?"

Palace Master also began to have doubts, Lin Yunfeng was on his deathbed and words of a man on his deathbed always came from heart. There isn't a great probability that he was lying, could it be that he really hadn't colluded with Greatest Heaven Sect?

"It……must be……Liang…….Shaoming……that.traitor!"

Lin Yunfeng seemed to have thought of something and said with his face full of shame and pain:

"He…….incited me, saying…….Greatest…….. Heaven Sect…….would provide support!"

After hearing this explanation, the Palace Master finally understood everything. Everyone knew that Lin Yunfeng hadn't accepted the current Palace Master. Furthermore, with the benefits of Hundred Thousand Mountains in front of him, Lin Yunfeng was tempted. If he became Palace Master and could conquer the Hundred Thousand Mountains then his name would certainly be written in most glorious words in the history of Pure Yang Palace.

He had some ambitions, combined together with Liang Shaoming's instigation and a guarantee from him that the Greatest Heaven Sect would definitely support him. He believed that as long as he could deal with the current Palace Master, he would certainly obtain the position of Palace Master and would bring unprecedented glory to Pure Yang Palace, only then he decided to act.

However, from the beginning, he only wanted to become the sect leader and also the sect leader who had brought great glory to the sect, he didn't have any intention of betraying the sect.

But Liang Shaoming was definitely suspicious. He even had secret dealing with Greatest Heaven Sect. Moreover, he also supported the Greatest Heaven Sect on all matters. Furthermore, this time, the involvement of a Dacheng expert on the attack on Palace Master, it would only be a wonder if he didn't have any relation with the traitor.

Otherwise, without sufficient benefits, who would dispatch a Dacheng expert for someone whom they had no relation to? When the Pure Yang Palace had invited the few Dacheng experts to join the campaign, not only did they have to use their personal favours, they also had to give the heart questioning pill as compensation. Liang Shaoming was a trifling JieDan stage expert, what kind of favours could he have done for Dacheng experts. Neither could he provide anything useful for them, but still, the Greatest Heaven Sect had sent a Dacheng expert on his word. The only explanation of this would be that he had already sold out the Pure Yang Palace completely.

At the apt timing, the old tree demon also made the report of unusual behaviour of Liang Shaoming and few other disciples of Luminous Moon Hall to the Palace Master. Hearing all this, Palace Master became certain that Liang Shaoming was definitely that traitor.

"What didn't my sect provide him, why did he become a traitor?"

The Palace Master couldn't restrain his anger and loudly shouted.

As for Lin Yunfeng, he had lost a lot of blood and his injuries were also quite severe, he couldn't support himself to stand now and squeezed out his final words with great difficulty:

"Senior brother, I……haven't colluded…..with….Greatest……Heaven Sect!"

After saying this, his head crooked and he died.

"Return to the mountain!"

After this scandal, naturally it wouldn't be good to go to the Green Jade Immortal Islands. Palace Master loudly instructed and all of them, and they returned back. With all the information, Liang Shaoming certainly couldn't be allowed to flee.

Gui Shanyou's clone had some secret link with his main body, whatever the clone knew about, the main body would immediately become aware of it. Yang Chen and Wang Yong also heard about everything that had happened from old tree demon.

Apart from several elders, there was also Meng Xian at the sect. He had been keeping a close watch on Liang Shaoming, this time, Liang Shaoming couldn't escape.

Thinking that he could get rid of Liang Shaoming now, Yang Chen's also began to get excited. Liang Shaoming, this person was the main culprit of his master's death in his previous life. If he hadn't betrayed the sect, then his master wouldn't have had to die. But now, surprisingly, he was already within a deep mess. Yang Chen wanted to immediately return to Pure Yang Palace and personally deal with Liang Shaoming.

However, his grand plan was also important, so Yang Chen had to go to invite Senior black tiger first. He used the clone of old tree demon over there to inform that Palace Master to leave Liang Shaoming alive, so that he would have plenty of opportunity in the future to make Liang Shaoming ask for death but couldn't obtain it.

Chapter 221- Perhaps This Is Our Chance

23 Oct 2017

He didn't need to waste too much time to visit Senior black tiger. Since he was certain that Liang Shaoming was up to some mischief, Yang Chen also didn't hide his strength and immediately took out the flying shuttle and quickly rushed to Beast Taming Sect.

Palace Master had already discussed this matter with the higher ups of Beast Taming Sect, so meeting with Senior black tiger quickly wasn't a problem. After delivering the heart questioning pill he had prepared for senior black tiger, Yang Chen quickly steered the flying shuttle towards Pure Yang Palace.

Everyone present on the scene was aware of the flying shuttle's existence. Although Wang Yong had seen it for the first time, when they went to save Gao Yue, he had realized that Yang Chen had a high speed magic tool. So he wasn't the slightest bit astonished upon seeing the flying shuttle. Within less than 20 days, Yang Chen had returned to Pure Yang Palace.

Hall master Meng Xian had been keeping watch over Pure Yang Palace. When the old tree demon had valiantly led the Palace Master to rapidly return to Pure Yang Palace, Liang Shaoming had been waiting with a bunch of followers for the good news.

But when he suddenly saw the bloody figure of the Palace Master appear before him, he was rooted to the ground because of fear. Without waiting for him to resist, the old tree demon quickly tried to capture him. A trifling JieDan stage cultivator didn't have any means to resist in front of the old tree demon's clone.

When he saw that the turn of events was far from encouraging, Liang Shaoming counterattacked, which gave everyone a huge fright. Several tens of tenth water godly thunder pearls directly appeared. The old tree demon swiftly struck him causing Liang Shaoming to lose conscience, but it was already too late to stop the tenth water godly thunder pearl's explosion.

Having no other alternative, the old tree demon used his body to receive all the tenth water godly thunder pearls and rushed towards the sky. Clearly, these tenth water godly thunder pearls had been refined by Dacheng experts. The explosion of several of these at the same time caused the clone's body to die, which then disappeared after a moment.

Even if the old tree demon had tried to save the Pure Yang Palace but still because of the continuous explosions in the sky, the mountain protecting spell formation flickered several times before disappearing. Almost all the buildings had collapsed due the shockwaves. Several thousand foundation stage disciples had also been affected by the shockwaves and were severely injured. Even the Jiedan stage disciples were also affected and suffered light wounds.

All the people present on the scene turned pale with fright. These many tenth water yin thunder pearls certainly couldn't be refined by Liang Shaoming alone. He didn't have that kind of ability. If it were not for the old tree demon, everyone present on the scene would have died, and the Pure Yang Palace would have been turned into ruins.

A Dacheng expert had died horribly, the Palace Master had been severely injured, an elder had betrayed the sect, several thousand disciples had also been injured, and all the buildings in the sect including the main hall of the sect had also turned into dust. From the time, it was established, it was the first time the Pure Yang Palace had suffered from such an extent of damage.

Old tree demon's main body which was on the flying shuttle, suddenly trembled and then his whole figure became depressed.

Seeing this, everyone was greatly astonished. What had happened which caused this kind of transformation in the old tree demon? Only after a moment of depression, the old tree demon's complexion quickly returned to normal, however, anyone could see that his body was currently very weak.

Soon, everyone heard about the attack on Pure Yang Palace from the old tree demon. Hearing that the Pure Yang Palace had suffered such destruction, Yang Chen was furious and recklessly increased the flying shuttle to return quickly to Pure Yang Palace. Gao Yue was still there and it was unknown whether she had been affected or not, and whether she had suffered any injuries.

Unexpectedly, this time, when the old tree demon had sacrificed his clone to save everyone. His contribution was unprecedentedly big. Even without waiting for the rewards that Palace Master would bestow on the old tree demon, Yang Chen immediately took out a tree of PengLai divine wood and directly gave it to the old tree demon after receiving him into the domed palace hall.

The first wood spirit power of PengLai Divine Wood was countless times more pure compared to old tree demon's main body which was formed of Cassia trees. Old tree demon hadn't expected that his one act to save lives would get him this kind of enormous returns. Under great excitement, he even forgot that he had lost his clone. He then split open his body and bundled the entire PengLai Divine Wood within it.

"The last heart questioning pill will perfectly fuse the PengLai Divine Wood's spirit power."

Yang Chen said and quickly came out of the domed palace hall:

"Don't worry and concentrate on healing. You don't need to worry about other things."

When Yang Chen and others returned to the Pure Yang Palace, the Pure Yang Palace was being crazily rebuilt. The matter of the main hall of the sect being destroyed was a matter of great humiliation for all the disciples. Every disciple was filled with anger and was concentrating on rebuilding the sect. Fortunately, Gao Yue only suffered from light wounds which didn't cause her much harm.

When Yang Chen saw the Palace Master and other elders, everyone had a heavy expression on their faces mixed with a sense of guilt. Yang Chen immediately understood the reason. It hadn't been easy for the sect to gain a Dacheng expert, but unexpectedly they had lost their Dacheng expert against the final struggle with this traitor Liang Shaoming. Who would feel happy about this?

"Palace Master, hall master Gui isn't dead!"

When Yang Chen said this, everyone raised their heads and looked at Yang Chen not daring to believe as if trying to distinguish whether his words were true or false.

Everyone knew that if they could capture Hundred Thousand Mountains then the Pure Yang Palace would gain the opportunity to advance rapidly. But at this critical moment, Lin Yunfeng's surprising revolt and loss of their only Dacheng expert had made all the higher ups of Pure Yang Palace feel despair.

But Yang Chen's words, instantly returned their confidence. Without caring for etiquettes in front of Palace Master, everyone immediately began to talk together asking the reason.

Now, Yang Chen also wasn't afraid of disclosing the matter of Gui Shanyou's clone. After hearing that hall master Gui Shanyou had only lost a clone which he could restore after cultivating for some years, everyone instantly began to cheer for him making the atmosphere quite lively.

"What happened to that bastard Liang Shoaming?"

At this moment, Yang Chen also wasn't polite and directly mentioned him by name:

"I want to make him regret being born in this world!"

No one felt any sympathy for Liang Shoaming who had surprisingly prepared the savage tenth water godly thunder pearls and had also detonated it within the great mountain defending spell formation. If Gui Shanyou hadn't acted swiftly by collecting all the tenth water godly thunder pearls and flying high towards the sky, then maybe Pure Yang Palace would be exterminated today.

Palace Master and that accompanying elder also felt a burst of lingering fear. If those people who had launched a sneak attack on them together with Lin Yunfeng had used the tenth water godly thunder pearls, then both of them would have been dead long ago. This excess fear caused their hatred towards the main culprit Liang Shaoming to rise to the deepest levels.

Yang Chen's attitude clearly implied that he wanted to punish Liang Shaoming. Although all the people present on the scene had higher status than Yang Chen, no one stopped him. Even Palace Master felt regret that even after so many unexpected events at Luminous Moon Hall, he never had the resolve to deal with Liang Shaoming. If he had, then the Pure Yang Palace wouldn't have to face the current destruction.

"He will be handed over to you!"

Palace Master said gnashing his teeth in anger:

"Ask him clearly for me, what was he doing all these years?"

No one supported Liang Shaoming who had caused the destruction at Pure Yang Palace. When Liang Shaoming was handed over to Yang Chen, Yang Chen didn't ask him anything and first made him suffer all the tortures he had learned at the Heavenly Court without caring for his cries of forgiveness or anguished wails.

While punishing him, Yang Chen even used many powerful elixirs to treat all sorts of injuries to make sure that he could suffer all the tortures without dying.

"I will make sure that you know what means by not being allowed to live and not being able to seek death!"

After Liang Shaoming woke up, Yang Chen told him this and didn't talk with him anymore.

In the beginning, Liang Shaoming endured to the greatest extent thinking that the upper echelons of Pure Yang Palace would certainly want to get some information from him and wouldn't let him die lightly. But after more than ten days had passed, he didn't have this kind of extravagant hope anymore.

Liang Shaoming felt as if he had been thrown in hell and Yang Chen had turned into a fiend from hell, ignoring any reason, disregarding all causes and effects, he even didn't talk to him and was solely engrossed in carrying out his punishment, he only want Liang Shaoming to suffer the torture without caring for obtaining any information from him.

This kind of torture which didn't differentiate between right and wrong was so painful that could make people wish that they were dead. It made Liang Shaoming clearly understand what was meant by not being allowed to live and not being able to seek death.

Now, whenever Liang Shaoming was sober enough to see Yang Chen's figure, his body would start trembling as if every cell in his body was afraid of Yang Chen and couldn't help but tremble in fear.

Within less than half month, Liang Shaoming had already collapsed. Every time he saw Yang Chen, he would start shouting:

"What do you want to know? Just ask me, ok! But please don't hurt me!"

Yang Chen sneered, regardless of however Liang Shaoming begged for forgiveness, he continued with his torture. Thus, ten more days passed like this and Liang Shaoming had completely collapsed many times and didn't have any intention of concealing anything.

"I am Greatest Heaven Sect's inner disciple, before entering Pure Yang Palace, I had already entered Greatest Heaven Sect. Under my master's command, I secretly entered Pure Yang Palace to look for the opportunity to annex Pure Yang Palace!"

Hearing Liang Shaoming's words, the complexion of all the higher ups of Pure Yang Palace turned unsightly. A majestic hall master of the Pure Yang Palace, Luminous Moon Hall's hall master, was surprisingly a disciple of Greatest Heaven Sect who had entered the sect several hundred years ago to look for the chance to annex Pure Yang Palace. For several hundred years, everyone was surprisingly hoodwinked by Liang Shaoming without any suspicion.

Other than great embarrassment, everyone only felt great hatred. Greatest Heaven Sect was just being an intolerable bully. They didn't even hesitate to start killing the sect leader and destroying the entire sect to achieve their goal. Although Greatest Heaven Sect is considered a leader of dao sects, their actions simply resembled that of a devil sect.

Once Liang Shaoming's secret identity became public, all doubts were explained. If Palace Master had died in that sneak attack, then most probably Lin Yunfeng would have become Palace Master. At that time, he would have certainly thrown his full support behind Liang Shaoming, so long as Liang Shaoming waited patiently for a few hundred years until Lin Yunfeng would ascend, being the person with the highest influence he would have been selected as the Palace Master.

Once Liang Shaoming became the Palace Master, then making the decision of merging with Greatest Heaven Sect would be completely up to him. The long term arrangements of this plan made everyone tremble in fear.

Those tenth water godly thunder pearls were also provided to him by the upper echelons of Greatest Heaven Sect through that concealed spell formation. If the situation doesn't look very encouraging, he was to ignite those tenth water godly thunder pearls and exterminate the entire Pure Yang Palace in order to shield Greatest Heaven Sect's plans so that it isn't denounced by others.

Those several henchmen of Liang Shaoming in Luminous Moon Hall including the substitute hall master Song Hang had also been captured. Unexpectedly, they didn't offer any resistance and revealed everything they knew about this matter.

All of them had been coaxed by Liang Shaoming, so they didn't know the concrete details of the plan. After completing tasks assigned by Liang Shaoming, they had obtained many benefits from Liang Shaoming and the Greatest Heaven Sect separately. Because of which, they didn't have any hesitation in following Liang Shaoming and chasing after Greatest Heaven Sect's shadow. No one supported these traitors, since they had betrayed the sect, their punishment was clear, execution!

"They went too far!"

Wang Yong who had a fiery temper couldn't endure this and slapped the table in front of him in anger:

"I say, we should reveal this scoundrel's true colours to the entire world and see how this Greatest Heaven Sect deals with this?"

Everyone was also furious, but hearing Wang Yong's proposal, everyone silently contemplated over it. Although making this matter public would allow them to relieve their pent up frustration, what would happen in the future?

This was a big question, if the Greatest Heaven Sect could just casually push out an elder and say that it was all planned by him in secret and being guilty of terrible crimes, he would be executed as an apology to the entire world. After they provide this explanation, Pure Yang Palace would become Greatest Heaven Sect's mortal enemy and might have to face more secret reprisals from them.

Honestly speaking, the current Pure Yang Palace could in no way contend against Greatest Heaven Sect and wasn't simply their opponent. Apparently, this matter has to be considered at great lengths.

"Yang Chen, what do you think?"

Palace Master didn't announce any decision, rather asked Yang Chen for his opinion.

The higher ups of sect, which included the group of elders and hall masters, focused their gazes on Yang Chen's face. No one suggested that Yang Chen's participation in this kind of matter was not suitable. Similarly, no one felt that Yang Chen raising a suggestion in front of everyone was not appropriate, giving a very strange feeling.

"Disciple thinks, this is a rather good chance."

After mumbling to himself for a while, Yang Chen slowly said.

"Chance? What chance?"

Everyone was completely astonished and Zhu Chentao who had good relations with Yang Chen, couldn't help but speak up.

"Since the tenth water godly thunder had already been detonated, in all likelihood, people of Greatest Heaven Sect think that Liang Shaoming is already dead and we don't know about their plan."

Yang Chen sorted out his reasoning and slowly said.

Ordinary disciples didn't know that Liang Shaoming had been captured by upper echelons of Pure Yang Palace. So far, the only people who knew that Liang Shaoming was alive were all present here. No other people knew about it.

"Also there isn't much possibility that those people who attacked Palace Master will come forward and speak up that they came from Greatest Heaven Sect."

Yang Chen looked at the Liang Shaoming who was still mumbling to himself and said with a smile:

"Our current strength is insufficient, so for the time being, we should feign ignorance about Greatest Heaven Sect's actions."

"Then how do we explain this kind of appearance of my sect?"

Xu Chengxin immediately asked.

"Since our attack on Hundred Thousand Mountains is imminent, then we might as well use this attack as the grounds of justification."

Yang Chen looked at everyone and said in a loud voice:

"Publicly announce that people of Hundred Thousand Mountains have attacked Pure Yang Palace, then even if our sect exterminates Hundred Thousand Mountains, no one will say anything about it."

Chapter 222- I Will Break The Spell

23 Oct 2017

Note:Chapters for 21, 23 25, 27 and 29th September.

Shifting the blame. This was clearly shifting the blame. In fact, without caring for the fact that Greatest Heaven Sect was being too arrogant, this reason mentioned by Yang Chen was far better than the previous reason of a disciple of Pure Yang Palace being attacked in Hundred Thousand Mountain, it clearly seemed more honourable.

Before this matter had happened, when the alliance formed by Pure Yang Palace, Green Jade Immortal Islands, Clear Sky Sect and Beast Taming Sect would exterminate the Hundred Thousand Mountain, they would certainly gain the reputation of robbing other's territory illegally, maybe someone would even come forward desiring to share the profit. After all, the previous line of reasoning wasn't sound enough and this matter would certainly be discussed among the others.

But the reason mentioned by Yang Chen made everyone speechless. Trying to destroy the sect, breaking the mountain protecting spell formation. This kind of hatred wouldn't be quenched without proper revenge.

So at that time, even if some people were resentful, they also wouldn't be able to stick their foot in this matter. By then, the market of Hundred Thousand Mountains would be perfectly under the control of Pure Yang Palace and its three allies.

"Shifting the blame on people of the Hundred Thousand Mountains wouldn't be that easy, right?"

Xu Chengxin spoke again while creasing his brows:

"How will we convince others of this?"

"During the journey when disciple was visiting elder Hua of Clear Sky Sect, we were ambushed by the people of Hundred Thousand Mountains."

Yang Chen immediately thought of using the few people he had caught earlier:

"One was a devil cultivator, one was a demon cultivator and the last one was a rogue cultivator of dao path. All of them had lived there for many years, so we have enough evidence."

This was a complete accident, even Yang Chen hadn't expected that the matter would develop to this stage and could only say that it was a lucky coincidence. With these few people serving as the perfect evidence, it seems like the Hundred Thousand Mountains were doomed to be destroyed by Yang Chen.

"How can we forget about Greatest Heaven Sect?"

Wang Yong furiously said, but asking this question was also in vain, how could anyone forget the hatred of their sect being near wiped out? As soon as he said this, Wang Yong also felt that he was being somewhat stupid by asking this, so he immediately change the question:

"That Greatest Heaven Sect already knows that we are going to attack Hundred Thousand Mountains, can they be watching our movements to try to get a piece of action?"

"Right now, they are anxious that we have discovered their plan and are trying to think of countermeasures to respond to us. How can they try to exploit this opportunity?"

Yang Chen sneered:

"Previously, they had sheltered a traitor of our sect, when he was suddenly discovered later, they could only admit that they are guilty. They will not be willing to make this type of mistake again."

"Even if they come to exploit the opportunity and attack in place of us under the pretense of getting justice for us, but if we don't move they don't have any reason to attack."

Yang Chen continued to analyze:

"If they could control the Hundred Thousand Mountain on their own, they would have attacked long ago. Why would they wait until now? Since they cannot control it alone, if we don't make our move and they do, they will be in an embarrassing situation. If they attack, they can't gain high ground, if they don't, that means they are orally supporting us and won't be able to make a move, they certainly won't let themselves get caught in this kind of difficult situation."

"If they really attack under the guise of getting justice for us, how can our sect watch without lifting a finger?"

Xu Chengxin asked again, he frequently interacted with a lot of people from other sects so naturally he has to consider a lot of things.

"My sect is busy reconstructing the sect area, isn't this reason enough?"

Yang Chen lightly smiled:

"In any case, whether we attack early or late, our sect has sufficient reason to attack. The initiative lies with us and not with Greatest Heaven Sky."

"What if other sects ask why our sect has requested the help of Green Jade Immortal Islands and Clear Sky Sect, and not of Greatest Heaven Sect?"

Xu Chengxin immediately followed.

"Greatest Heaven Sect has shielded my sect's traitor before, my Pure Yang Palace also doesn't hold much love for Greatest Heaven Sect so why should we form alliance with Greatest Heaven Sect?"

Yang Chen seemed to have thought out everything and directly explained his reasoning.

After some more questions and answers, everyone understood Yang Chen's line of reasoning. Seemingly, this was a great opportunity to capture Hundred Thousand Mountains. Even the Greatest Heaven Sect could only look helplessly as the few big sects form alliance and divide the profits of Hundred Thousand Mountains without finding even a trace of reason to step in.

If they want to attack under the guise of getting justice for Pure Yang Palace, Pure Yang Palace could still refuse that option. If my Pure Yang Palace firmly refuses then how could the Greatest Heaven Sect still have the face to step in and exploit the opportunity? If they really did attack, then Pure Yang Palace could just announce that Pure Yang Palace itself will avenge its hatred, as for forming an alliance with Green Jade Immortal Islands and Clear Sky Sect, it could always be explained saying that Pure Yang Palace couldn't beat them in their first attempt so they could only form an alliance. In that case, Greatest Heaven Sect could do nothing but look at them enviously.

"So everything is set!"

After seeking the opinions of several hall masters and elders, Palace Master slapped the table and finalized their strategy:

"No one should reveal any trace of information regarding Greatest Heaven Sect's matter, do not even show least bit of animosity towards Greatest Heaven Sect, wait until we gain enough strength to get revenge!"

Although they were still angry, everyone present could see the bigger picture. All of them pushed down their hatreds for the time being and began to wait for the chance to get revenge.

After Liang Shaoming and the rest of his henchmen had been captured, Yang Chen suddenly discovered that there weren't many voices opposing him within the Pure Yang Palace. All the higher ups supported him making him feel like fish back in water.

The most important thing was that the greatest threat against Gao Yue, Liang Shaoming had already been dealt with, thus ensuring Gao Yue's safety within the sect in the future and removing the need for him to be on his guard all the time. This fact delighted Yang Chen.

After determining their strategy, Yang Chen left everyone and directly went to Gao Yue's residence. Although Gao Yue had only suffered light injuries, she had still been injured which distressed Yang Chen greatly.

Gongsun Ling's cultivation wasn't high, the injuries she had received were quite serious. When Yang Chen had returned back to the sect earlier, she could barely crawl back to her place. Yang Chen was extremely considerate towards his talented senior apprentice sister and personally delivered the best healing elixirs and refined a batch of ginseng liquid of thousand year ginseng for her. Only then did he feel relieved.

The upper echelons of the sect made all the arrangements according to Yang Chen's intention. Soon the news of Hundred Thousand Mountain attacking Pure Yang Palace began to spread quickly among all dao sects with the few dead corpses of people from Hundred Thousand Mountain serving as evidence.

The news of the sect area of Pure Yang Palace and several thousand disciples being injured began to spread. After a long time, entire cultivation world had again began to boil.

The evidence revealed by Pure Yang Palace was like adding more oil to the fire, which immediately flared up the storm. Chaos spread within the cultivators, everyone was discussing this matter. Instantly, Pure Yang Palace stood at the heart of the struggle.

Together with Pure Yang Palace, the secret organization behind the Hundred Thousand Mountains had also become the center of talks. When the task gets divided between many people, it becomes easier. With so many people discussing the event, soon the whole chain of events starting from a disciple of Pure Yang Palace being attacked at Hundred Thousand Mountains followed by Yang Chen destroying the auction house which made the secret organization to fly in rage because of humiliation, causing them to attack Pure Yang Palace. All the events became public quickly.

Regardless of whatever was said, the auction house of Hundred Thousand Mountains had broken their own rules which wasn't a secret. They weren't able to remove the traces of their crimes over the past years by any means possible. This time, they had gone a step further and attacked Pure Yang Palace, thus becoming the target of criticism from countless people.

Today, Hundred Thousand Mountain had attacked Pure Yang Palace's mountain. Tomorrow, it might be some other sect. The people who were burned by Hundred Thousand Mountain weren't only limited to Gao Yue, right now all of them people were expressing their anger towards common enemy and jointly denounced the secret organization behind Hundred Thousand Mountains.

What worried people most was that two YuanYing experts and three JieDan experts had used some unknown treasure to turn the entire Pure Yang Palace upside down. Even their mountain protecting defensive formation couldn't hold. If this had been some other sect in place of Pure Yang Palace, how could they escape extermination?

There was also another opinion. Pure Yang Palace had finally become undisguised in front of everyone, since they couldn't even defend their own mountain and sect, how can they still have the face to establish their sect? But this kind of voice was clearly very few, no one cared about it.

Pure Yang Palace had been enraged by this provocation, blood had entered their eyes. In front of countless sect disciples, Palace Master has pledged that Hundred Thousand Mountain must be purged and sect's humiliation would be washed using enemy's blood.

When Pure Yang Palace presented the evidence, simultaneously, it also combined with Clear Sky Sect, Green Jade Immortal Islands and Beast Taming Sect. The grand alliance marched to exterminate Hundred Thousand Mountains.

There weren't many people in the lead, only 50. But no one would dare to provoke these only 50 people in the whole world. These people included, nine Dacheng experts as well as 33 YuanYing experts and only one foundation stage disciple, Yang Chen.

Yang Chen had come with them as a guide, naturally, everyone knew that this was just a guise. Yang Chen only wanted to personally get justice for Gao Yue.

Gao Yue, Gongsun Ling, even Green Jade Immortal Islands' Shi Shanshan and Clear Sky Sect's Sun Qingxue, all wanted to follow Yang Chen, but they were firmly declined by Yang Chen, while at the same time, they were also constrained by their sect, drawing unhappiness from these females.

In fact, the stronghold occupied by the secret organization of Hundred Thousand Mountains had been investigated in detail for several years. The reason why everyone agreed to allow Yang Chen to follow them was because he was the pill concocting master who had concocted the heart questioning pill. The upper echelons of all sects were hoping that the experts of their sect could form some contact with Yang Chen and sow good karma which would make it quite convenient for them to seek pills in future.

Behind the Hundred Thousand Mountains were four Dacheng experts and around twenty YuanYing experts. This kind of strength was enough to contend against the best sects. However, when all is said and done, they were formed by dao, demon and devil paths working together so everyone had only joined together for their mutual benefits and weren't interdependent on each other in life and death like a sect. This also meant that they could only occupy Hundred Thousand Mountain but couldn't contend against big sects like Greatest Heaven Sect or Clear Sky Sect.

There was one more reason why the Hundred Thousand Mountains had been standing tall without falling. They had a guardian magic weapon, which was the Seven Star Heavenly Thunder Spell which covered their entire territory. Only the four Dacheng experts knew the profoundness of this spell formation, ordinary experts couldn't break this spell formation.

Previously, Greatest Heaven Sect always had five Dacheng experts making it the sect with most Dacheng experts among dao sects. Their strength was quite formidable. But if they went on an expedition against Hundred Thousand Mountains, they would have to pay considerable price. When compared to the investment, the benefits couldn't compare.

It was impossible for them to break the spell and kill four Dacheng experts unless they were ready to sacrifice at least three of their Dacheng experts. Moreover, during the 'great calamity of devil cultivation', they had already lost one of their Dacheng experts, considerably weakening their strength, making it even more difficult for them to move against Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Currently, the strength of the alliance of these four sects was already double of Hundred Thousand Mountains. The people leading the party weren't afraid of the few Dacheng experts behind Hundred Thousand Mountains. Their only concern was that Seven Star Heavenly Thunder Spell, even if they had a group of YuanYing and Dacheng experts, still there would be heavy casualties to break the spell.

"I can break the Seven Star Heavenly Thunder Spell!"

Before starting, Yang Chen had guaranteed this in front of the group of experts. All the experts looked at each other in dismay, if Yang Chen hadn't concocted the heart questioning pill then someone would have already scolded him. But, even then, many people didn't think his words were reasonable.

A foundation stage junior who concocts pills can break Seven Star Heavenly Thunder Spell? Even Dacheng experts didn't dare to make such claims.

It must be known that the Seven Star Heavenly Thunder Formation used a dangerous location of Hundred Thousand Mountain as foundation and was set up by a Dacheng stage spell formation expert.

That dangerous location was basically a place where lightning falls continuously, after being reinforced by spell formation, the might of thunder at that place has become greatly astonishing. The lightning here can be said to be comparable to the lightning tribulation of the three great tribulations.

Yang Chen, a trifling foundation stage junior, surprisingly dared to shoot his mouth saying that he could break the spell, he was simply being delusional. Everyone only gave face to Pure Yang Palace and his title of pill concocting master and didn't say anything unpleasant.

"Then how about this, since seniors allow this junior to be impudent."

Yang Chen understood what everyone was thinking, but didn't try to defend himself and faintly smiled while continuing:

"If junior cannot break the Seven Star Heavenly Thunder Formation, then junior agrees to refine a pill requested by each senior for them free of charge, what do you think?"

Since they were already planning to attack Hundred Thousand Mountains, that spell must be broken. But now, Yang Chen had taken the sole initiative to break the spell formation. Moreover, if he failed, he was still willing to refine elixirs for everyone free of charge, where could they find such a great deal? At that time, not to mention other elixirs, just finding the raw materials and refining a batch of heart questioning pills was sufficient to repay everyone's labour several times.

No one said anything to oppose him, but everyone became hopeful, wishing that Yang Chen would be unable to break the spell formation and everyone could fairly obtain a heart questioning pill. Only, at that time, they have to protect Yang Chen properly so that even if failed in breaking the spell, he wouldn't be injured by the spell formation.

The news of Pure Yang Palace declaring Hundred Thousand Mountains to be the main culprit hadn't spread to Hundred Thousand Mountains currently. The secret organization of Hundred Thousand Mountains hadn't sensed that the imminent danger, completely oblivious to the fact that their villa had already been surrounded a group of experts completely cutting off the escape for the people inside.

Because of the Seven Star Heavenly Thunder Formation covering the villa, even Dacheng experts on the outside couldn't use their spiritual awareness to examine the situation inside. Similarly, the people inside villa also couldn't use their spiritual awareness to examine the circumstances outside. Perhaps, they had absolute faith on the spell formation, so the people inside villa didn't think that anyone would come to attack them.

Presently, Yang Chen was standing outside the spell formation observing the lightning inside the spell formation which was waiting to strike. Slightly far away, a group of experts was curiously observing Yang Chen, trying to guess what kind of method did he plan to use to cut open the spell formation.

Chapter 223- Destroying The Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell

Standing outside the Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell, Yang Chen halted for a moment as if trying to find the direction of lightning within the spell formation. Soon after, two red balls twice the size of fist appeared in his hands.

"What's that?"

Standing behind him, the pupils of the group of the expert shrank:

"Thunder pomegranate?"

Thunder pomegranate could absorb lightning, because of this property, many people tried to find some thunder pomegranate when undergoing the lightning tribulation and use it to absorb some lightning.

Although Seven Star Godly Thunder Formation was formidable, in the end, it was nothing but the strength of lightning and thunder. The thunder pomegranates could absorb lightning and thunder, there was no doubt about this, but wanting to break the Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell with nothing but thunder pomegranate was just Yang Chen being delusional.

Leaving aside the fact that this spell formation has been set by a Dacheng expert, the amount of power of thunder and lightning ingested by this spell formation for the past millennium years was unimaginable. Even if a Dacheng expert enters it, they could only focus on self preservation and nothing else. Although it was unpleasant to hear, only two thunder pomegranate were not enough to even get stuck between the teeth of this Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell.

Whoosh whoosh, under Yang Chen's control, both thunder pomegranates flew within the spell formation. Once the spell formation sensed that some foreign object has entered spell formation and it doesn't comply with the unique route set by spell, the spell formation immediately began to attack. With rumbling sounds, the omnipresent lightning rushed towards the two thunder pomegranates.

Everyone present on the scene apart from Yang Chen had passed the lightning tribulation. So they didn't feel anything over these two thunder pomegranates being wasted. A few old men shook their head in disappointment, Yang Chen was just overestimating his abilities, why didn't he think anything before making a fool out of himself? Could it be that Yang Chen only has talent in pill concocting, but isn't any good in other fields?

Just when everyone was shaking their head or were at loss, another two thunder pomegranates appeared in Yang Chen's hand, this time they flew towards another direction.

Next, everyone began to look as if Yang Chen was performing some magical trick, one after another, he produced two thunder pomegranates and as before, threw them in some direction. Moreover, his supply surprisingly didn't seem to be running out and in less than the time taken for a wick to burn, he had thrown another two more thunder pomegranates.

By this time, the group of people from Pure Yang Palace were already dumbstruck, they didn't know that Yang Chen had successfully cultivated a thunder pomegranate tree, they seemed to have turned into stone and couldn't breath.

When he had returned from Heavenly Stairs, Chu Heng made fun of Yang Chen about his words over thunder pomegranate, wanting to use the opportunity to punish Yang Chen, but the matter was left unsettled. But now, seeing his actions, everyone understood what Yang Chen had done that time. 1

By now, Yang Chen had casually taken out 200 thunder pomegranates, wouldn't that mean he had successfully cultivated more than ten trees of thunder pomegranate? How many seeds does one thunder pomegranate has inside it? How many thunder pomegranates had Yang Chen successfully cultivated?

However, this was another pleasant surprise, although every thunder pomegranate tree could produce 20 fruits at most, if they were cultivated on a large scale, wouldn't that mean that afterwards, if any JieDan expert of Pure Yang Palace doesn't have confidence in passing the lightning tribulation on his own, then he could be provided a thunder pomegranate fruit for assistance?

Others also vaguely guessed such an outcome, but no one dared to confirm it. Moreover, even if he had used over 200 thunder pomegranate, there still wasn't any sign of the Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell Formation breaking down.

These experts had a lot of experience and could make out that these thunder pomegranates were approximately 20 years matured so they weren't very precious. The effects of this type of fruits were greatly reduced, so probably just relying on these type of fruits wasn't sufficient to break the spell.

Presently, contempt seemed to be rising up in everyone's mind, their previous sighs couldn't be seen anymore as everyone began to ponder, how many thunder pomegranates would Yang Chen require to achieve results?

What surprised everyone again was that the supply of thunder pomegranates still seemed to be endless for Yang Chen. Within a short time, he had thrown 200 more thunder pomegranates within the spell formation. Everyone couldn't help but feel shocked and wonder how many thunder pomegranates Yang Chen, this junior, has?

By this time, the entire spell formation seemed to be aroused, dazzling thunder seemed to be casting a huge net knitted of light. Apart from light from thunder, the only leftover sound was that of thunder claps, nothing else could be heard.

Within a blink, Yang Chen had used 100 more thunder pomegranates, raising the total to 500 fruits. At this moment, Yang Chen didn't seem to be adding anymore, rather waved his hand, causing 2 thunder pomegranates inside the Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell to return back to him as if being tied by some kind of thread.

After absorbing lightning until they were full, the appearance of thunder pomegranates changed. They didn't have that sort of red colour from before, rather, they had turned black red with indistinct flickers.

His hand again flashed, these two full thunder pomegranates seem to disappear within his hand, soon after, two more red coloured thunder pomegranates immediately appeared in his hand and were again thrown inside spell like before, replacing the two fruits which had been replaced recently.

Next, this cycle continued. Every time, Yang Chen would remove two thunder pomegranates and afterwards replace it with two new thunder pomegranates.

"What is he doing?"

Everyone again became suspicious. Replacing one fruit after another, what does he want to do?

"After absorbing the lightning to its limit, the thunder pomegranates can be refined into magic weapons which can explode according to their master's wish. Their strength couldn't be considered as weak."

Immediately someone who had studied about thunder pomegranates explained.

"He is surprisingly using the Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell to refine magic weapon?"

Hearing this explanation, everyone didn't know what to think. Yang Chen, this youngster's mind was hard to fathom, making these old men feel inferior.

Who could have thought that the Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell which could strike fear in anyone's heart could surprisingly be used like this? If the person who had deployed the spell formation knew that the Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell which he had deployed after a century's hard work, which had existed for thousand years absorbing countless amount of lightning energy, would surprisingly be used by someone to refine their magic weapon, he would be rolling about in his grave.

"That's odd!"

After Yang Chen had replaced the thunder pomegranates for the fourth time, the expert who had just explained about thunder pomegranates again found an anomaly:

"The thunder pomegranates he is holding now, its maturity far exceeds those he had used earlier."

If he had sufficiently matured thunder pomegranates why did he bother with those unripe fruits earlier? Everyone again felt a wave of confusion hitting them, no one could answer this question. However, no one troubled Yang Chen, moreover, everyone turned their gaze towards the earlier expert at the same time as if agreeing by chance, waiting for him to provide some explanation.

That person carefully observed everything for a while, when suddenly an astonished look appeared on his face, as if he had thought of something unfathomable.

The people around him resentfully reminded him once, after which he spoke in a serious tone:

"He is using the lightning power to rush the breeding of those thunder pomegranate trees."

Once the expert gave a summary of his conclusion, a wave of shock once again washed over everyone. But it has to be said that with Yang Chen's display from the start, there was indeed a possibility of this happening.

After the thunder pomegranate absorbed lightning, apart from being used as an explosive magic weapon, it could also be used to release thunder and lightning. Moreover, when placed in surroundings with thunder and lightning, the thunder pomegranate would grow exuberantly. Thus, Yang Chen using the lightning to urge the growth of thunder pomegranate trees wasn't impossible.

Everyone, however, was still under great shock. Although thunder pomegranate provided good assistance in lightning tribulation, relying on excessive external help also wasn't good, so these people didn't place it in their eyes. Only those who lack confidence in passing the tribulation used it. Many devil cultivators also used it.

However, it didn't change the fact that thunder the pomegranate tree was still difficult to grow. This was already a problem in the cultivation world for countless years. But for Yang Chen, this problem didn't seem to be anything difficult.

If that expert's recent conclusion was true, then wouldn't it mean that Yang Chen did not only know the method to grow the thunder pomegranate tree, but he even knew how to speed up its growth.

How was that possible? Countless people had researched this for too many years, but none have been successful, and this foundation stage junior, Yang Chen,who has spent at most 40 years cultivating from the time he started, unexpectedly had already found a way to grow and speed up its maturity?

Not only that, Yang Chen could apparently make a spirit pill like the heaven seizing pill and an elixir to restore the constituent spirit of demon beasts. Moreover, he had also personally refined the mysterious heart questioning pill. When the credits of all these unfathomable achievements went to one person, then people couldn't help getting astonished when thinking about it.

However, right now clearly wasn't the time for everyone to be astonished. The thunder pomegranate in Yang Chen's hands had been reaching its limit in maturity, absorbing even more and more lightning. At this corner, the power of the spell formation also seemed to have reduced greatly. The lightning, which was initially densely packed, also became sparse. The time gap between two lightning bolts also began to widen.

Even if the spell formation had absorbed large amounts of lightning, it couldn't last under the incessant absorption by 500 thunder pomegranates. Moreover, as the maturity of the last thunder pomegranate continued to approach the limit, it began to absorb larger and larger amounts of lightning. Its absorption rate also became quicker and quicker.

What was most astonishing was that as the thunder pomegranate's maturity approached its limit, and the absorption of lightning increased more and more, that pomegranate tree also began to mature faster and faster, which in turn lead to further increase in the maturity of the thunder pomegranate in Yang Chen's hand.

As this virtuous cycle continued, within less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the lightning at this corner had already been completely absorbed. No bolt fell in this area for a good moment.

Careful observers had discovered that the places where Yang Chen replaced the thunder pomegranates every time were all fixed. Moreover, what shocked them even more was that only this corner had no lightning, but the lightning in other areas flickered vaguely and didn't seem as if the spell formation had been aroused.

What did this mean? Everyone was again astounded. The only explanation could be that Yang Chen was so familiar with the Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell that he couldn't learn anything new about it. Just by the controlling the thunder pomegranates, he could determine how to break this formation or not. What did this show? Could Yang Chen also be a spell formation expert?

An expert pill concocting master in addition to a pinnacle spell formation expert? What's left for which Yang Chen couldn't do? In front of Yang Chen, this foundation stage junior, this group of YuanYing and Dacheng experts felt ashamed to death. When their cultivation was at Yang Chen's level, they didn't know what to do, so how could they have the chance to follow a group of YuanYing and Dacheng experts to play.

However, Yang Chen didn't pay any attention to these people's thoughts and was solely preoccupied with breaking the Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell. Now that he already had the control of one corner, he could use this nick to carve a path to lead the experts into the villa.

Probably, even if the person who had deployed the spell was beaten to death, he couldn't have thought that there would be a foundation stage junior in a later generation who would use such a brilliant and domineering method to break his Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell.

Just as the expert had guessed, Yang Chen had indeed used the absorbed lightning to urge the growth of a pomegranate tree. The seeds of thunder pomegranate had been influenced by the pure first wood spirit power to their limits, but there wasn't any place where formidable lightning fell in the Medicine Garden, so Yang Chen could only stimulate it at a piece of land to grow several tens of trees.

In so many years, Yang Chen also didn't have the opportunity to upgrade his thunder pomegranates, because firstly, stimulating lightning required large amount of spirit power and secondly, Yang Chen's current realm was too low, so transforming spirit power would waste a lot of it and was totally not worth the effort.

These pomegranate trees could only produce these many fruits in so many years, which were difficult to use. When Yang Chen heard about the Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell, he had made the plan to use the natural lightning to promote the ripening of his pomegranate trees.

When the lightning filled thunder pomegranates began to meet with the roots of original thunder pomegranate trees' roots, the endless lightning energy began to rush through the roots. Because of this enormous lightning energy urging its growth, within a short while, the thunder pomegranate trees maturity reached 100 years old.

Hundred year matured thunder pomegranates were a difficult to find treasure. One such fruit could absorb half the lightning of the lightning tribulation of a JieDan stage cultivator. So one thunder pomegranate fruit could double the chances of passing the lightning tribulation.

The direction in which the thunder pomegranates were sprinkled was also perfectly chosen to cut into the spell formation, merely influencing one portion of the spell formation. With Yang Chen carrying out this mission in such brilliant fashion, one more portion was cleared neatly. If he continued with this speed, within a short time, a secret passage would be formed through the Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell.

Even at ordinary times, the lightning kept rumbling around in Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell, with the lightning cutting spiritual awareness and no signs of large scale activity on this side. It didn't give rise to the attention of anyone.

Who could have thought that they would use such a freakish method to enter the villa. Initially, everyone was afraid that the sounds of breaking the spell formation would alert the enemy inside that something fishy was going on. But now, it seemed that they didn't need to care about this problem.

When they thought about the scene when Yang Chen had proclaimed with full confidence that he could break the Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell, they couldn't help but think:

"This junior will be redoubtable in future!"

Finally, after Yang Chen exerting himself for two more hours, a path without any lightning or thunder was carved through the Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell.

"Seniors can now advance to meet the secret organization behind Hundred Thousand Mountains!"

Yang Chen pointed towards the end of passage and made a bowing gesture:

"Junior requests seniors to make their move and get justice for junior's sect! Junior will stay behind to destroy this Seven Star Godly Thunder Formation and will quietly wait for senior's victory call!"

Chapter 224- Hundred Thousand Mountain Changes Master

27 Oct 2017

When old tree demon Gui Shanyou passed by Yang chen, Yang Chen smiled and reminded him:

"Same rules, leave their corpses for me!"

The corpse of Dacheng experts could be considered as the best tonic for the delicate Blood Phantom Vine in Yang Chen's clean bottle Medicine Garden. Nothing could be done about it, after all, it was still alive after great damage to a major portion of the master root and master vine, which could already be said to be an enormous fortune. It certainly couldn't be restored without proper care for several hundred years.

With the path to enter the villa opened, the group of experts stormed in. Now Yang Chen didn't need to be worried about being discovered by people and could brazenly absorb the lighting power of Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell.

This time was completely different from before when he was trying to sneak in. At that time, Yang Chen had carefully control the direction of the 500 thunder pomegranates according to the requirement of spirit power to be absorbed to create the path. But now, he didn't have to worry about it and could release his control over those fruits allowing them to brazenly absorb.

Battle cries had already begun to echo out from the villa. After careful investigation for several years previously, Pure Yang Palace had verified that the Dacheng experts of the secret organization remained at the villa to cultivate secretly in seclusion. The upper strata in control of business was also concentrated within the villa, so no one could flee without exception.

With their numbers double that of enemy, the experts rushed into the villa like an indestructible force. Whether they had made a plan before or not, they still possessed an absolute superiority. The enemy was caught completely off guard and was rather shocked that the Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell had been of no use and couldn't form any decent resistance.

Within the first moments of the attack, everyone under the Dacheng stage had been dealt with. With no one to save these people, the Pure Yang Palace which had already paid a great price, strictly didn't permit for any fish from the higher ups to escape their net.

The nine Dacheng experts began to carefully search the locations where the enemy Dacheng experts were in seclusion. Within the Hundred Thousand Mountain, few people had absolute faith each other. These Dacheng experts in charge of Hundred Thousand Mountains were also the same. Moreover, the only one who hadn't gone into seclusion was completely startled and was already fighting a battle with elder Hua Wanting.

All of their seclusion locations had severe restrictions placed on them with all kind of spell formations. Soon, Yang Chen heard a loud rumbling sound. He expected that noise should be the sound of all kind of restrictions being crazily destroyed by the group of experts.

For the time being, these events had no relation to Yang Chen. Yang Chen was just a foundation stage junior. He had no role in a battle of such level. Even if he had the ability to defend himself, She Kui and Xie Sha still had to be by his side pretending to protect him.

No one felt this was inappropriate. Protecting Yang Chen also meant protecting the future heart questioning pills. Moreover, Yang Chen had already played a major role in this battle. If the group had forcefully tried to break the Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell, then there was a high possibility that it would have alerted the people inside the villa, resulting in their campaign being much more difficult.

Presently, Yang Chen was in the middle of absorbing the lightning energy and crazily urging the growth of the thunder pomegranate tree. Apart from urging the growth of the thunder pomegranate tree, he still wanted to refine the clean bottle containing the Medicine Garden at least once. After he left this village, he wouldn't find this situation anywhere else. In the future, finding a place where he could absorb the lightning energy without any problems would be difficult.

In the beginning, Yang Chen had only made a few meters wide long passage through the enormous Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell. But now, he planned to completely absorb all the lightning energy within the spell.

With Yang Chen recklessly urging the growth of the tree by reckless absorption, the pomegranate tree began to grow frantically. Like when Yang Chen had refined the clean bottle containing the Medicine Garden, the large amount of spirit power absorbed had increased the maturity of herbs within it by several years. It was the same with the absorption of lightning energy.

In reality, the lightning energy was itself of first wood attribute. Only, it erupted slightly fiercely. This kind of frantic absorption of lightning energy was mainly to urge the growth of the pomegranate tree, but the clean bottle could also be refined simultaneously by using the formidable first wood spirit power.

During his recent opening of the passage, Yang Chen hadn't been able to pay attention to this. Now, since he was relieved of that burden, Yang Chen naturally wouldn't let this opportunity go by.

After asking She Kui and Xie Sha to pay more attention, he began to use the lightning energy released from thunder pomegranate to refine the clean bottle of the Medicine Garden.

The clean bottle had only been refined to the first layer of a Heavenly Star Treasure Refining Secrets, which was accompanied by the refining of fifth earth true qi. Last time, after the addition of seventh metal true qi, he had only refined the domed hall, so naturally now he wanted to carefully refine the clean bottle itself.

The lightning of Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell couldn't be used directly, but with the thunder pomegranate, this wasn't a problem anymore. After a simple refining done by Yang Chen, he could casually control the lightning energy within the thunder pomegranate however he wished, which was just perfect for this process.

The lightning energy could be considered as a pure first wood power. Yang Chen carefully used this first wood spirit power in his body to carefully refine the lightning energy released by thunder pomegranates and move it to reach the second layer of the Heavenly Star Treasure Raising Secrets. He then began his refining.

Although his Profound Spirit Furnace had already reached the fifth layer of Heavenly Stars and the seventh layer of Earth Fiend, this Medicine Garden itself was of much higher grade. Yang Chen could barely advance the second layer refining of Heavenly Stars Treasure Raising Secrets.

Who would have thought that while the group of Dacheng experts were fiercely battling on one side of mountain, Yang Chen was leisurely advancing the refining of his magic weapon, and he was also using the lightning energy of enemy's Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell to do so.

Pure lightning energy began to crazily flow inside the Medicine Garden, but apart from increasing spirit power, the clean bottle didn't show any great transformation. Even if the first wood power was much more pure, but still it couldn't transform solely based on its intrinsic quality.

It has to be said, the clean bottle itself was sufficiently formidable. After Yang Chen had refined the thunder pomegranates once and begun to release more and more lightning energy from thunder pomegranates into the clean bottle, he had discovered that this little bit of lightning didn't have any effect on the clean bottle and now, when it was being refined, the crazily pouring lightning energy also could only lead to an increase in spirit power without having any other effect.

This also lead to another result. That speed of refining became faster and faster. The refining which should've at least required two months by Yang Chen was completed in a short 20 hours under such circumstances. With the clean bottle successfully reaching the second layer of the Heavenly Stars Treasure Refining Secrets.

The genuine transformation happened when Li Yunmu used the Earth Fiend Sacrificial Formation Secrets to refine the clean bottle. Same as the Heavenly Stars Treasure Refining Secrets, when the refining began, the clean bottle began to crazily absorb the lightning energy. The lightning energy which had been accumulating for thousands of years, helped the clean bottle succeed and within a short few hours, the first layer refining of Earth Fiend Sacrificial Formation Secrets was completed.

After both the Heavenly Stars and Earth Fiend had been completed, a notable transformation occurred within the clean bottle. Not only had the space inside Medicine Garden increased greatly, even those herbs which belonged to the first wood attribute had their maturity increased by several decades.

This still wasn't enough. The most startling change was the appearance of a door like object within the clean bottle. Although it currently couldn't be opened, this also meant that there was still empty space within the clean bottle which Yang Chen couldn't yet access. But as long as he continued to refine it, there would be a day when he could open that space.

Previously, Yang Chen used to believe that there were only some thousand years matured herbs in Medicine Garden. But after returning from that Heavenly Roar Dog's valley, he realized that something wasn't right. The previous master of the Medicine Garden must have ascended more than ten thousand years ago.

If that person had planted these legendary herbs before ascending, then by now, they should have reached a maturity of at least ten thousand years and shouldn't only be some thousand years old.

Although thousand year old legendary herbs could be considered as sufficiently precious, all of this didn't make any sense. The only possibility could be that there was another portion of the Medicine Garden. Presently, Yang Chen has only opened a portion of Medicine Garden, moreover, this portion should be the one where some seeds must have fallen a thousand years ago and had now grown into medicinal herbs. Yang Chen still hadn't come across the genuine core.

Although he was presently still unable to access the genuine core of Medicine Garden, the door to the core had already appeared. Believing that as his cultivation increased, there would be a day when this door could finally be opened and the secrets inside would finally be completely clear to Yang Chen.

Looking at this door, the doubts in Yang Chen's heart finally cleared. After all, this explanation seemed more reasonable.

From the beginning of the battle, two days had already passed, but the battle still continued. Each one of the several YuanYing stage experts held a spell flag in their hand and arranged an enormous spell formation within the villa. The spell could be broken only by simultaneously attacking all the YuanYing experts defending the spell formation. Otherwise, the people trapped inside could sneak out in a short amount of time.

The nine Dacheng experts invited by Pure Yang Palace were battling the four most formidable experts of Hundred Thousand Mountains within the spell formation.

The spell formation was deployed both to prevent people from fleeing away as well as to suppress the enormous fluctuations in spirit power. The battle between thirteen Dacheng experts wasn't something ordinary cultivators could imagine. With every move, all of them were driving the formidable power heaven and earth to attack. Even the several YuanYing experts could only rely on the spell formation to watch from far, but it was impossible for them to come near.

Speaking of the battle, after being woken up from their seclusion meditation by attacks, the three Dacheng experts of Hundred Thousand Mountains were both furious and alarmed. Just this sudden transformation seclusion to battle mode was sufficient to cause them grave injuries, almost causing them to cough up blood. Apart from the last one, who managed ordinary affairs and had been injured before the battle began.

Confronting these nine Dacheng experts, the four people of Hundred Thousand Mountains also began to stake their life on the outcome. They clearly understood that since so many experts had started attacking as soon as they came, there was no chance for the people of Hundred Thousand Mountain to flee alive and, at this critical moment, they also had begun to erupt with power.

As the saying goes: place anyone on the field of death and they would fight to live. Facing death's door, the four enemies were trying their best. In the face of their full power attacks, the nine experts didn't have the intention to die together with them. Since they occupied complete superiority, they naturally wanted to obtain the best results. Even if they had to delay the fight a bit longer, they wanted to make the enemy consume all their spirit power and die without their own side suffering any major casualty.

This was also the reason why the battle had continued for so long. Facing the attacks of the nine experts, the four enemies were completely spent. One of them who had the most serious injuries was unable to defend himself in battle and hid behind his companion's back struggling whilst at death's door.

With one less enemy, everyone's spirit was greatly roused. With this disturbance in balance, the four of them didn't have any chance to get lucky. They didn't even know why they had to suddenly experience this type of calamity which exterminated them.

Under the continuous attack of the nine Dacheng experts, the four enemy experts, who were unable to close their eyes because of regret, finally died. The instant they perished, everyone outside the spell formation loudly cheered.

Everyone in the villa had been exterminated. This also implied that the original upper echelons controlling the Hundred Thousand Mountains behind the scenes had been exterminated, only leaving a few scum behind.

Hundred Thousand Mountain was a pragmatic place, since these people were exchanged with an even more formidable backstage power, the people who ran businesses naturally submitted obediently, not daring to be rash.

The end of this battle also implied that the Hundred Thousand Mountains was now under the control of the alliance of the four sects. In the future, the countless treasures and natural resources would be the profits of these four sects.

However, the counterattack by the four experts facing death's door had also wounded five out of nine experts. Fortunately, most of them only had light injuries and hadn't lost any battle strength. However, despite that, there were also two experts whose cultivation had dropped. But killing four Dacheng experts for such price had really been a profitable business.

Old tree demon had already used the heart questioning pill and harmonized with the PengLai Divine Wood, so he had formed another clone using the Body Dividing Secrets. This clone was sent here. He was also the one who had sustained the most serious injuries. After all, the Pure Yang Palace had been the main instigator. Moreover, they had to do their best since they were here under the pretense of getting revenge.

Their next action was naturally to sort through the battlefield and divide spoils of war. Soon after, a batch of staff rushed over and scattered over the entire estate of the Hundred Thousand Mountains to quickly stabilize the markets and calm down people.

The most difficult task was to kill these four formidable experts, which had been accomplished, so there were no more difficulties left. Soon after news spread, the people of Hundred Thousand Mountains had surprisingly tried to destroy the Pure Yang Palace. In return, the Pure Yang Palace had immediately formed alliance with few big sects and had ruthlessly exacted their revenge.

With the destruction of the secret organization, everything else went as expected. Especially when the four sect alliance declared that the rules of Hundred Thousand Mountains would remain the same, cultivators of all paths including dao, devil and demon paths could enter whenever they wanted, only, no one could seize the treasures of the weak by relying on their strength, which even received the support of many cultivators.

This move of the four sect alliance had astonished the entire world, especially when the Pure Yang Palace showed the bloodthirstiness which they rarely displayed. They gained a whole new level of respect among the cultivators.

After the end of this matter, no one dared to act like that clan and tried to act shamelessly with the Pure Yang Palace. It must be known that the sect area of the Pure Yang Palace was still under construction. Only god knows whether the demonic fire formed after their sect had been destroyed had been completely vented or not. If someone still dared to go against them, they would just be courting death.

The later matters didn't have anything to do with Yang Chen. He even handed over the task of receiving the spoils of war to the old tree demon's clone and great master Wang Yong. He himself only received the corpses of the four Dacheng experts and directly returned back to the MeiQing Mountain and to the Pure Yang Palace with She Kui and Xie Sha.

Even without adding the spoils of war, this time, his harvest had been enormous. Not to mention other things, just urging the growth of the thunder pomegranate trees had allowed them to reach two hundred years maturity. Moreover, he was also able to refine the clean bottle Medicine Garden once more and discovered the secret door. This was already sufficient to make him delighted. Furthermore, he had also been able to get rid of Liang Shaoming, the spy of the Greatest Heaven Sect, ensuring his master's safety. What else could be a better reward for him?

After returning to the sect, the first thing he did was to go see his master. After greeting her once to let her know that everyone was safe and in good health, he went straight to the main hall of the Pure Yang Palace to see Palace Master.

"Everything successful?"

Seeing Yang Chen come, Palace Master asked feeling pleasantly surprised.

"Successful!"

Yang Chen nodded, giving a positive reply to Palace Master.

"Good!"

Palace Master exhaled a deep breath and relaxed. He then continued to talk with Yang Chen:

"Yang Chen, the matter which you mentioned last time, I have thought about it carefully, but it will still be planned and managed according to your intentions."

"Eh?"

Yang Chen was startled, feeling completely confused, the matter he mentioned last time? What matter was that?

Chapter 225- Palace Master's Cultivation

08 Nov 2017

Palace Master didn't have any hesitation in front of Yang Chen and directly spoke what he was thinking.

After suffering from the ambush last time, he had clearly realized that his cultivation was still weak. Although it was sufficient to manage a second rate sect, but as Pure Yang Palace has developed in recent times and considering its future development, he understood that his cultivation may not be able to keep up with it. Therefore, the matter of quickly increasing his cultivation was the most pressing issue for him presently.

But, Palace Master was in the end the Palace Master, elders like Wang Yong would often enter seclusion but he couldn't do this so lightly as he still has to manage the Pure Yang Palace. So an efficient method to increase his cultivation has become all the more important.

Just as Yang Chen had previously mentioned, he knew a metal attributed dual cultivation method which could help increase the Palace Master's cultivation by using a harmonious dual cultivation process. Such a method was perfectly suitable for the Palace Master. He wouldn't need to enter seclusion during cultivation, but the results would still approximately be the same as if he did. That's why the Palace Master was currently having this conversation with Yang Chen.

Yang Chen immediately realized what the Palace Master was thinking. He didn't find anything abnormal about it. Wanting to increase his cultivation while sparing no efforts in working for the sect, in fact, Palace Master Zhong Jiao was indeed a good sect leader.

During Yang Chen's previous life, the Palace Master because wasn't good at seeing the true colour of people. He had been fooled by people like Liang Shaoming at the end. But now, this type of problem no longer existed. Liang Shaoming had already been dealt with. Moreover, the sect had also began to walk on the path of rapid development. Seeing the bright future prospects of the Pure Yang Palace, Palace Master was also confidently rushing to increase his strength.

The Palace Master was not alone in displaying this attitude. Wing Yong and the other elders felt the same as the Palace Master. All of them were filled with the hope of revitalizing the Pure Yang Palace and were going all out in hopes of building a bright future. This was the Pure Yang Palace which Yang Chen had always desired to see.

"I have carefully thought about this for many days and have selected some dao companions which may be suitable."

Palace Master amiably said to Yang Chen:

"Help me take a look and see which one of them is most suitable?"

His words were completely natural. The Palace Master didn't feel the least bit embarrassed and restricted because of asking a junior like Yang Chen to assist in selecting a suitable dao companion in his place.

Yang Chen also didn't feel this was something to be embarrassed about, since the cultivation method had come from him, Yang Chen could also determine which one was most suitable among them compared to others.

He looked over the candidates once, all of them were YuanYing experts from either the Green Jade Immortal Islands or the Clear Sky Sect. Both the Green Jade Immortal Islands and the Clear Sky Sect had many female disciples, and the majority of their experts were also women. Presently the Pure Yang Palace had good coordination with these two big sects at the Hundred Thousand Mountains. If Palace Master was willing to choose a dao companion from either of their sects, that will also make the relationship between the sects closer.

Looking at this list of names, Yang Chen suddenly felt as if he was being relieved of a burden. If the Palace Master was willing to personally step in and advance their friendship, that would consolidate the relationship between sects even more strongly than Yang Chen choosing Shi Shanshan or Sun Qingxue as his dao companion.

But as soon as he had this thought, Yang Chen was dejected. The Palace Master could not have two dao companions. Neither the Clear Sky Sect nor the Green Jade Immortal Islands would agree to send one disciple from each sect to become dao companions with the Palace Master. Regardless of whomever Palace Master chose, it would attract resentment from the other sect unless someone from the elders also used this method to tie knot with someone from the other sect at the same time.

Dao companions were very beneficial for everyone, but if the Pure Yang Palace relied on such methods, then it certainly would be mocked by people for using women to attach with two big sects. The hope of revitalizing a sect which had been formed with great difficulty would also be suppressed by rumors and gossip. Probably, the Palace Master had also thought about this, and that's why had consulted with Yang Chen.

When Yang Chen took a quick look, he suddenly discovered a familiar name. Clear Sky Sect's elder Mo Qian, who also had a full metal spirit root, had the cultivation at the mid YuanYing stage and was perfectly equivalent with the Palace Master, making her a suitable candidate.

Currently Mo Qian was in Yang Chen's Medicine Garden, untiredly and crazily cultivating. If the Palace Master was willing, Yang Chen was absolutely happy to take her out and make her the Palace Master's dao companion. In this way, the cultivation of both the Palace Master and Mo Qian would increase. Moreover, because Mo Qian had disappeared for some time now, as long as they keep it a secret, no one would think that her disappearance had any relation with Pure Yang Palace.

The only problem was that presently Yang Chen still didn't dare to suddenly inform the Palace Master that Mo Qian had already become a vegetable. He didn't fear that the Palace Master would sell him out, but rather this information was too shocking. The best way would be to make the Palace Master slowly accept this.

"Palace Master, according to disciple's thoughts, Clear Sky Sect's edler Mo Qian is a suitable candidate."

Yang Chen mulled over it for a moment and raised his suggestion to Palace Master.

"Elder Mo Qian?"

Palace Master creased his brows. Mo Qian's name was towards the end of the list. The main reason for this was that, currently, the whereabouts of Mo Qian and her disciples wasn't known, so there wasn't any way to select Mo Qian for the time being.

"Clear Sky Sect's elder Mo had been missing for a few decades."

Fearing that Yang Chen wasn't aware, Palace Master explained to Yang Chen:

"I am afraid that it won't be so easy."

"When we get to the mountain, there'll be a way. Palace Master doesn't need to worry about this for now."

Yang Chen smiled and continued:

"However, it will be best if Palace Master follows disciple's great master and refined a destined flying sword first."

The matter of Wang Yong refining a destined flying sword hadn't been secret among the elders of the same sect. Moreover, after refining for many years in seclusion, Wang Yong's cultivation had increased by leaps and bounds. Everyone had noted this point and were filled with a craving to do the same. Now Yang Chen was also saying that this was a good method.

"Destined flying sword?"

A shine passed through the Palace Master's eyes at the thought. After the possession of Hundred Thousand Mountains, he had all the required ingredients. Moreover, refining a destined flying sword was indeed an enormous lure. Previously, he didn't have any good ingredients, but now he didn't need to worry about this lack.

Moreover, refining destined flying sword was completely different from other things. He absolutely didn't have need to enter seclusion. Like Yang Chen, whose immortal executing blade was being nourished within his spirit sea presently, it didn't hinder Yang Chen's regular activities in the least. It would only take a little more time, that's all.

"Speaking of which, disciple has some suitable ingredients."

Yang Chen laughed, taking out that golden seal obtained after killing that YuanYing stage expert last time and presenting it to Palace Master.

Although that golden seal had been turned into shreds by the sword spell of the domed hall and had been ruined beyond recognition. But even if this magic weapon, while being considered as damaged beyond repair, the materials used to make it were still there and could still be considered as first rate metal attributed materials. They were more than suitable to be used for refining a metal attributed flying sword.

"This golden seal. Don't you want to keep it for yourself?"

Naturally, the Palace Master knew that this golden seal was an exceptionally good raw materials to refine a destined flying sword, but as a Palace Master, he couldn't lower himself to taking a disciple's belongings to refine his own destined flying sword.

"For the time being, disciple isn't refining his metal attributed flying sword. This gift could be considered as disciple showing his filial respects, Palace Master should accept it."

Yang Chen smiled and pushed the golden seal towards Palace Master:

"As for Palace Master's dao companion for dual cultivation, disciple will think about it and find a way."

First planting the seeds here which would allow Palace Master to have some mental preparation, thus when he took out Mo Qian in the future, Palace Master should be able to accept it. At least it wouldn't go as far as giving him a sudden fright.

Moreover, during this time, Yang Chen needed to refine the living puppet of Mo Qian once more so as to avoid any mishaps after her cultivation increased. Although the chances of such an accident happening were too low, but he just want to be cautious in case of every possibility.

Palace Master wasn't too astonished when Yang Chen gifted the golden seal to him. He could even handover the heart questioning pill without the slightest hesitation, then what to speak of a little raw material. By comparison, Palace Master cared a hundred times more about Yang Chen's kind intentions than that ingrateful bast*rd Liang Shoaming.

This golden seal was sufficient to keep the Palace Master occupied for a long time. Then Yang Chen provided him with a detailed explanation of everything that had happened at the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Hearing the tale cause the Palace Master to once again become washed over by a wave of astonishment.

"You cultivated thunder pomegranates?"

Palace Master didn't dare to believe what he was hearing. Both of his eyes went wide and a dumbstruck expression appeared on his face. Few years ago, someone wanted to use this as an opportunity to punish Yang Chen, but who could have thought that unexpectedly Yang Chen had already reared thunder pomegranates.

Yang Chen didn't reply directly, rather took out ten thunder pomegranates from his qiankun pouch and placed them in front of Palace Master. These thunder pomegranates had sufficient maturity and had also discharged the thunder energy, making them ready to be used for absorbing lightning.

Palace Master reached out his hand to pick the thunder pomegranates and examined them one by one. After looking at the these thunder pomegranates with same size, same maturity, apart from being both alarmed and excited at the same time, what could he say?

"This would make sure that the underconfident JieDan cultivators of my sect also have the hope of entering YuanYing stage!"

Palace Master didn't know how to describe his current mood. Capturing the Hundred Thousand Mountain had made the Pure Yang Palace wealthy and overbearing, but these thunder pomegranates would give hope to many JieDan experts who had no hopes of reaching YuanYing stage.

Although relying on external sources to increase cultivation wasn't the best method, but regarding those disciples who aptitude was average, reaching JieDan stage was already the limit. But now, with these thunder pomegranates, they had the possibility of entering YuanYing stage and to increase their life expectancy while greatly increasing their cultivation at the same time.

Whether it was for the disciple or for the sect, this was a huge matter. Many YuanYing stage disciples also meant an increase in ,the sect's strength. Moreover after reaching the YuanYing stage, maybe they could also rush towards even higher realms? The higher the realm, the greater the chances, absolutely a win win situation.

"These thunder pomegranates, how many do you have? The sect will buy from you!"

The Palace Master obviously knew which matters were important and which matters weren't and directly said to Yang Chen:

"Sect contribution points, spirit stones, magic weapons, cultivation methods, other materials, whatever you need, you will get!"

The increase in the sect's strength was also related to cultivating the lower level disciples apart from the natural resources it possessed or the number of experts it had.

Presently, with the xun qi pill, the number of outer disciples of the Pure Yang Palace had greatly increased. With the thunder pomegranates, the hopes of JieDan experts would also be boosted. High level elders also had the heart questioning pill, so from top to bottom, the Pure Yang Palace's strength was increasing. As a Palace Master, what else could he hope for?

Speaking of which, all these were almost because of Yang Chen. Or it could also be said that everything was completely because of Yang Chen. From xun qi pill to the thunder pomegranate to the heart questioning pill, and from the Hundred Thousand Mountains to finding the traitor Liang Shaoming, every matter had some relation with Yang Chen.

At this very moment, the Palace Master even had an intense desire to nurture Yang Chen as the next generation Palace Master. Once this thought appeared in his mind, it couldn't be suppressed again. Although this kind of matter still required consultation with other elders, but he was convinced that other elders absolutely wouldn't oppose it.

A disciple who possessed such a strong luck, and moreover still had the innate talent in concocting pills. Who wouldn't be willing? Just the achievements of Yang Chen in the previous few years were sufficient to make the Palace Master himself feel inferior, let alone other elders.

"Palace Master, these thunder pomegranates have already been revealed in front of experts of other sects, so disciple doesn't think there is a great possibility that the sect can monopolize them."

Looking at the Palace Master within his beautiful dream, Yang Chen found it somewhat laughable but he had no choice other than to break Palace Master's beautiful dream:

"Even if disciple hands all of them over to the sect, then they will use all kinds of other means to demand them from the sect."

"En, your words make sense."

Palace Master was worthy of being the Palace Master, he immediately became aware of the reality and at once figured out a response:

"However, since you have found the method of growing them, so if they want them, then they must be willing to indebted to my sect and perhaps would have to pay with something exceeding the price of thunder pomegranates itself in exchange. In the end, we are the ones who would get the most benefits. You don't have to worry about these, the sect will help you."

"Yes, Palace Master!"

Yang Chen knew that Palace Master would think of a countermeasure, so he just touched the subject but didn't delve deeper.

"Yang Chen, recently you have been in limelight, which is both good and bad."

After rejoicing, the Palace Master began to worry about Yang Chen. Since he had planned to cultivate Yang Chen as the next Palace Master, this matter required even more comprehensive consideration to nurture him. First and foremost being his safety:

"In the future, whenever you go out of the sect, regardless of wherever you go or at what time, you must take along She Kui and Xie Sha. Both of them are also fond of being with you, so they will also look after your safety."

"Yes, Palace Master!"

Yang Chen replied. Yang Chen who had a lot of experience could clearly understand the Palace Master's concern.

"Your cultivation, within less than four decades after reaching foundation stage, it has already progressed to late foundation stage."

Palace Master continued:

"Your cultivation speed is unprecedented. Although it has some relation to absorbing flames, but, you yourself had also been persistent and hardworking. However, don't be too hasty, even if you have many legendary herbs, don't abuse them. When the time is suitable, properly consolidate current cultivation first. By all means, don't harm yourself."

In all fairness, this was his genuine worry, Yang Chen's cultivation speed had indeed been fast, so fast that anyone hearing about it for the first time wouldn't dare to believe it. Even the Green Jade Immortal Islands' Shi Shanshan had spent a full 80 years in the foundation stage before reaching the JieDan stage. Since even the people with a full spirit root had taken so long, then what to speak of Yang Chen. Regarding this, the Palace Master's concern

"Disciple understands!"

Yang Chen bowed and made his salutations to express his gratitude:

"With the matter of Hundred Thousand Mountains settled, disciple had also intended to settle down and consolidate his cultivation first."

Chapter 226- Exploring Another Residence

08 Nov 2017

Yang Chen himself had sensed some disequilibrium in his cultivation. If he hadn't been busy dealing with the Hundred Thousand Mountain to completely remove the threat to Gao Yue, then he would have already taken care of it.

On the surface, he completely seemed to be a fire attributed cultivator, since his cultivation in the fire attribute had surpassed others. But, this wasn't a good phenomenon regarding the Yin and Yang five phases secrets or the Great Yin and Yang Five Phases Secrets that he cultivated.

The most important thing in the Yin and Yang Five Phases Secrets was equilibrium. Although he could tolerate his fire attribute spirit power surpassing others for a short time, but finally he had to achieve equilibrium.

So Yang Chen had intended to spend some time on increasing other attributes spirit power. In any case, the fiercest people of the Hundred Thousand Mountain had been subdued, there will certainly be no one left who would want to take revenge for the young master or the old manager of the auction house, and even if someone would want to take revenge, it will be directed towards the Pure Yang Palace and not Yang Chen or Gao Yue.

Just when Yang Chen was going to leave, the Palace Master suddenly called him back and informed him about another matter which was giving him endless headache:

"I have made many trips to Clear Sky Sect. They have requested that Sun Qingxue should be treated the same as Shi Shanshan, asking you to not favour one and discriminate against another. Since you have already taken a trip with Shi Shanshan, then you must also go out with Sun Qingxue on a trip to gain experience."

During his previous life, Yang Chen basically didn't have to fight this kind of battle and thus didn't have the least bit of experience about it. He was totally oblivious that his indecision and procrastination had caused great jealousy. In fact, among cultivators, very few people had to worry about this kind of problem. Yang Chen's current problem was extremely unique.

"Yes, Palace Master!"

Since Palace Master had already instructed him, Yang Chen could only agree helplessly. He didn't dislike Sun Qingxue and since he had already taken a trip with Shi Shanshan, then going with Sun Qingxue also wasn't a big problem.

When the matter regarding Hundred Thousand Mountains was being planned, everything was arranged carefully and quietly, but when the alliance of the four sects genuinely made a move, they uprooted the enemy with an irresistible force.

The dao sects raised a great clamour after the Pure Yang Palace and other three sects made their move. But the matter had already reached this stage, it was completely impossible for anyone to try to stick their foot, regardless of whatever pretense they used. That wouldn't be considered as helping, rather a scheme to forcefully seize the business of these four sects and incur hatred of ruining the livelihood of other people. No one would be foolish enough to infuriate both the Clear Sky Sect and Green Jade Immortal Islands at the same time together with Pure Yang Palace and Beast Taming Sects, both of whom had a Dacheng expert.

The follow up personnel had also been dispatched, and everything had been taken care of. Nine Dacheng experts with several YuanYing experts had formed nine squads and had began to receive underlings for controlling Hundred Thousand Mountains from behind the scenes.

A complete new mountain manor had been established at another location. Yang Chen had completely absorbed the thunder and lightning power of the Seven Star Godly Thunder Spell and the battle among the thirteen Dacheng experts had already reduced the previous villa into pieces, removing any possibility of future use.

Usually three Dacheng experts would be stationed here, one from each Green Jade Immortal Islands and Clear Sky Sect respectively. Since they have many experts and can take turns to come here. The last place would be alternated between Pure Yang Palace and Beast Taming Sect, each sect's expert would take responsibility for ten years.

Naturally, these guarding experts wouldn't have to manage anything specific. The ordinary matter would be handled by people who knew how to run a business and who would be dispatched by these four sects. It was clear that if the current system at Hundred Thousand Mountains was better than before, then the earnings will also be higher.

Regarding the worries of dao, demon and devil paths, the four sects displayed complete sincerity. This time, it was completely the fault of the Hundred Thousand Mountain who had destroyed the Pure Yang Palace's sect area first. Taking revenge was the sole reason why these four sects had attacked. As for the future matters, business was business. It was completely unrelated to position of dao, demon and devil paths.

This position of view was approved by everyone. Apart from the Pure Yang Palace, the only ones who knew the actual situation were the Greatest Heaven Sect, but they didn't dare to speak up. In any case, the Greatest Heaven Sect couldn't just proclaim that the Pure Yang Palace wasn't destroyed by the Hundred Thousand Mountains, rather by their mole at Pure Yang Palace!

Everything had been advancing properly according to the arrangements. The visits between the four sects had also become exceptionally frequent. This time's trip was just for the spoils of war at the villa, which made everyone sufficiently excited. They couldn't be considered a replacement of the heart questioning pill promised by Yang Chen, but such good affairs, the more they happen the better.

Pure Yang Palace's Eccentric Hall's hall master Gui Shanyou was among the people who were selected for the first turn to oversee the Hundred Thousand Mountain. The Hundred Thousand Mountain was basically his home, after pacify the few remaining disobedient people, the old tree demon again sprinkled large number of cassia tree sprouts with their numbers reaching several tens of thousands like he had done at MeiQing Mountain.

When the roots of all had been combined together, Gui Shanyou would know of all activities in every area of the Hundred Thousand Mountains at all times. So, no one could be more suitable than him to be appointed among the first overseers. Naturally, it was Gui Shanyou's clone which had gone to sit guard, and its original body was still at Yang Chen's courtyard in the Pure Yang Palace absorbing PengLai Divine Wood.

The matter of operating business had no relation with Yang Chen for the time being as it was being dealt by specialized people from the four sects. Yang Chen rushed back to Gao Yue's side. His master's water attributed cultivation had already reached mid foundation stage, so it was time that he should discuss cultivation with his master.

Yang Chen had revealed a lot of things on this trip. Heart questioning pill, thunder pomegranate as well as magic weapon which could kill YuanYing stage experts. If someone would want to attack Yang Chen in the future, he would certainly factor all those things. Yang Chen could only find some other trump cards which other people couldn't possibly know about.

His great master had already refined the fire qilin's horn into a flying sword, but his master's flying sword hadn't been settled yet. At the same time, Yang Chen also needed to think about Gongsun Ling's destined flying sword. Recalling about the remaining magic weapons at the Palace of Dragons, Yang Chen's heart began to beat faster.

Heavenly Roar had already swallowed half of Heavenly Roar Dog's blood essence. The bloodlines of Yazi within his body had been completely aroused. Present Heavenly Roar didn't look like that weak little pup anymore. Its head had remained the same but its body had grown longer, resembling more and more a dragon's body.

The long slender body would remain wrapped around the bright ray sword all day long without the slightest fear of its sharp edge. Within its mouth, it would hold the second wood flying sword tightly, afraid that someone may snatch it. Only Yang Chen could take the flying sword away from him.

Yazi, dragon's second son, had the body of a dragon and the head of a dog, an unyielding temperament, was a brave and ruthless warrior, and fond of belligerent killing. He would always hold a magic weapon in his mouth, had glaring eyes, and would be engraved on the sword hilts and knife end's to increase their strength.

Heavenly Roar had began to look like the legendary Yazi more and more with time. Perhaps right now, the bloodlines were being aroused frantically. After Heavenly Roar had completely transformed into Yazi, he might completely remove the restrictions at the Palace Of Dragon King and collect all the items left there.

Thinking this, Yang Chen again looked at Heavenly Roar's figure, and without any hesitation, fed it the remaining half blood essence.

"Yang Chen, you tell us. Since the sect had suddenly seized the Hundred Thousand Mountains, would it attract the envy from other sects?"

Gao Yue had just heard about the sect's large scale action and couldn't help but feel astonished at the daring of sect's upper echelon. When Yang Chen had hurried over to her, she had been discussing this issue with Gongsun Ling. As she saw yang Chen, she naturally asked him.

"How can that happen?"

Yang Chen laughed, then started to explain:

"The issue of our sect mountain being destroyed was just an excuse. The Green Jade Immortal Islands and Clear Sky Sect were the main force. My sect and Beast Taming Sect were only assistants. If other sects have some ideas about the Hundred Thousand Mountains, then first they must think of a way to deal with Green Jade Immortal Islands and Clear Sky Sect."

The two females had only been talking about it, but they weren't worried much. However, Gao Yue kept staring at Yang Chen for a long time with saying anything. She then asked with a straight face:

"Is this all because of you?"

"Hundred Thousand Mountains were unwilling to give up and insisted on settling old scores."

Yang Chen nodded his head, this time. He also fearlessly informed Gao Yue of the truth:

"Disciple had already been attacked by them twice. Disciple was afraid that they would come after master and thus made the first strike to get the upper hand."

Gao Yue had guessed the entire story. Last time, Yang Chen had raised a commotion at the Hundred Thousand Mountains without the slightest hesitation. If he hadn't been worried about Gao Yue's injury then he wouldn't have let them off lightly just by getting rid of that auction's manager and young master. If at that time, any one of the four Dacheng experts had been present, then Yang Chen wouldn't have had the slightest hesitation in using his blood river. Then even if he would have to again refine his destined immortal beheading blade, he would have certainly massacred the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains, turning it into an ocean of blood.

Regarding her disciple's thinking, Gao Yue just didn't know what to say that would be good. However, the most sensitive heartstrings in her heart again began to stir. A lump formed in her throat and tears glistened in her eyes. But, in the end, she was able to endure in front of Yang Chen and Gongsun Ling.

For her, Yang Chen had surprisingly uprooted the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains which had four Dacheng experts. While he was only at the foundation stage now. Thinking about this, Gao Yue was moved emotionally while being astonished and alarmed at the same time.

For such a simple reason, Yang Chen had first taken out the heart questioning pill and then the thunder pomegranates. The appearance of any one of those items could easily send the cultivation world into turmoil, but Yang Chen had revealed them to ensure her safety and remove the mark from her back. Such affection, Gao Yue didn't even know how to respond to them.

Gongsun Ling looked at Yang Chen with eyes full of envy but also with tenderness. Even if cultivators were supposed to have severed all their emotions, but in the end, some human feelings still remain.

"No need to be anxious. The matter has already been dealt with."

Yang Chen consoled his master. Looking at master's almost crying face, Yang Chen's heart was filled with sweetness. For his master, even if he had paid an even higher price, then also what would be the problem?

"For some years, stay within the sect. Don't run around everywhere!"

Gao Yue commanded in a dignified and unyielding tone:

"Presently, there certainly will be many people on the outside who would wish to harm you, so you must not casually go out."

"Yes, master!"

Yang Chen also didn't oppose and agreed. In any case, Heavenly Roar would still require a long time to absorb the blood essence. During this time, he would obediently remain inside the sect and accompany his master.

However, Gao Yue's concern also reminded Yang Chen. The Pure Yang Palace had allied with the Green Jade Immortal Islands and the Clear Sky Sect and had captured the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Although temporarily people wouldn't dare to have any ideas about the Pure Yang Palace, as the profits poured in, it would certainly attract the greed of others. Maybe they couldn't do anything to the Pure Yang Palace as a whole, but dealing with some disciples of the Pure Yang Palace wasn't impossible. The cultivation world couldn't do without such matters, so he needed to properly make the preparations to counter them.

Naturally, the best method was to substantially increase the battle strength of all the disciples of the Pure Yang Palace. If the strength of the entire Pure Yang Palace increased, then it would be like the top sects, and others wouldn't dare to have devious ideas about them.

For the time being, Yang Chen didn't have any method to care for all the disciples of the Pure Yang Palace. However, the case was different for the people by his side like his master, Gongsun Ling, Du Qian, Wang Yong or Shangguan Feng. The strength of those people must be increased quickly.

Soon, Yang Chen remembered a place which was greatly suitable for everyone at the foundation stage to temper themselves and increase their battle strength. Moreover, this location still had other benefits. That place didn't hold much significance for Yang Chen, but after he could completely control it, it would offer an exceptional training location as well as a place to retreat to at a critical time.

Even a crafty rabbit has three burrows. Currently Pure Yang Palace had just the MeiQing Mountain and the Hundred Thousand Mountain. The sect still lacked one more. The location Yang Chen had recalled was just perfect. It could be regarded as a training location for a long time, and if he could collect it for himself, then it could act as exceptionally good habitat for the Pure Yang Palace.

The grade of this legendary abode was very high. As Yang Chen remembered, this cave was left by someone facing death's door at the QingQiong Mountain and was sealed at the moment. The seal required a special method to be opened. As for collecting it, the process was an even more troublesome.

The spirit power on QingQiong Mountain was far more plentiful compared to MeiQing Mountain. That cave could even be classified as blessed by god. It was quite far from MeiQing Mountain where thePure Yang Palace was currently located.

Yang Chen had many such caves in his memory, but he couldn't occupy them all by himself. Moreover, compared to the Dragon King's Palace where magic weapons were hidden, which cave could be considered a better residence? As for the others, naturally Yang Chen would give priority to the people by his side to obtain the benefits first.

QingQiong Mountain's legendary abode had been sealed for a long time. Reportedly, it had many demon beasts and puppets. Presently, it was unknown how these inhabitants might have matured. One thing was certain, the cave was naturally divided into different grade palaces and other locations which contains demon beasts and puppets of different grades, making it an exceptionally good training location.

The legendary abode was sufficiently large. Even if the entire Pure Yang Palace, which contained thousands of disciples, was to move in, there would still be much space left. Even if the Pure Yang Palace was much larger, the legendary abode would still be able to hold it. Originally, it was the place for a large sect to take refuge in, but some unknown entity exterminated the entire sect. Later it became the dwelling of someone from the Heavenly Court, and now it had fallen into Yang Chen's hands.

There weren't any other problems with this cave, and it was just the perfect place to be used to train those people by his side. It was also a good place to stroll around sometimes. He knew that apart from the demon beasts and puppets, this cave dwelling also contained a large number of medicinal fields which had been sealed for more than ten thousand years. If they hadn't been wrecked by the demon beasts, then he could obtain many benefits. Moreover, it was also unknown whether the treasury of that large sect had been plundered or not.

Even if, it didn't contain all these, just the location, which had exceptional spirit power, was enough to nurture ten thousand year old demon beasts and was already a treasure which could make anyone drool over. If he even plucked a body hair from any of those demon beasts, it could also be sold as a thousand year old profound silk.

This kind of place was perfect for master and Gongsun Ling to temper themselves.

Chapter 227- Master Will Make The Decision For You

08 Nov 2017

Coincidentally, all the people Yang Chen was thinking about had already gone out. Du Qian, Shangguan Feng, and Wang Yong, as well as Yang Chen's previous four servants, had surprisingly all had been sent out by their respective masters. Only his master, Gao Yue, and his senior apprentice sister Gongsun Ling were left.

"It can only be said that their luck is lacking!"

Yang Chen slightly regretted and gave up on waiting for them. He decided to do some scouting with his master and senior apprentice sister first.

This time, Yang Chen had planned to let his master and senior apprentice sister get some training as well as obtain some benefits for himself, so for the time being, he didn't inform other people of the sect. Moreover, reporting something to the sect required proof. He couldn't just go and shoot his mouth. It was better to first make a trip with them. This trip would also give him the opportunity to make up some excuse like they just encountered that location while travelling.

"Where are you taking us?"

Gao Yue knew that Yang Chen frequently did actions that astonished everyone. Therefore, she didn't feel it was odd and also didn't refuse and just asked him first about it.

"A good place. You don't need to worry about where we are going. In any case, disciple will never harm master."

Yang Chen didn't said anything to remove their doubts because he didn't want to ruin the surprise.

Gao Yue agreed. Gongsun Ling also nodded her head, so Yang Chen immediately went to the Palace Master to make a report. There was nothing to be done about it. Presently, he was a popular person in the sect, so he wasn't allowed to casually go out. The Palace Master must always know his whereabouts.

"Disciple is going out to gain experience with master and senior apprentice sister."

Yang Chen told him a little fib, since this wasn't any important matter, so he kept it a secret for the time being.

"Ok, but take She Kui and Xie Sha along and also remember to be careful!"

Naturally the Palace Master wouldn't restrict Yang Chen's freedom and only reminded him to take along the two experts as protection. Right now, the Palace Master was concerned about dealing with how the matter of the Hundred Thousand Mountains was being received as well as making the business arrangements and didn't have the time to solely concentrate on Yang Chen. In any case, as long as Yang Chen was safe, he could go wherever he wanted.

Everytime She Kui and Xie Sha followed after Yang Chen, both of them could kill people and loot their wealth, which perfectly suited their preferences. Especially, brazenly killing and plundering their belongings, which surprisingly also gained them praise from others. The current conditions were far better compared to when they were at the Desolate Valley. So when Yang Chen called for them, they both immediately left together with him.

Flying to the QingQiong Mountain would take a long time. Within the flying shuttle, Yang Chen remembered how he had enjoyed his time with Shi Shanshan and also made some fresh tea for his master and senior apprentice sister. After adding water properly, he placed the tea in front of his master, senior apprentice sister and the two eccentric hall seniors and waited for their assessment.

Gao Yue who was enjoying the filial respects from her disciple had no qualms about the tea being served. Gongsun Ling was also the senior apprentice sister, so it was also justifiable that she would only sit and relax. Even She Kui and Xie Sha were higher in seniority compared to Yang Chen, so Yang Chen was the only one who had to do all the work.

After calmly sampling the fine tea, Gao Yue slightly nodded her head to express her praise. Gongsun Ling also took little gulps in a dignified manner and didn't say anything for a long time, but the intoxicated expression in her eyes betrayed her otherwise expressionless face.

As for She Kui and Xie Sha, they were just recklessly destroying this beautiful tea, dampening the atmosphere by drinking one whole cup in one gulp and continued to cry that it was insufficient, which annoyed Yang Chen so much that he just wanted to kick both of them once.

"I have long heard about the Green Jade Immortal Islands' Fairy Shi's good tea, Yang Chen. Did you learned this skill from Fairy Shi?"

After enjoying the tea for a good while, Gao Yue asked him beaming with smiles.

Hearing this single sentence gave Yang Chen another headache, and he didn't know how to reply. Previously, he had never had the habit of making tea, he was just trying imitate the enjoyment when he had done this last time with Shi Shanshan on the Flying Shuttle, but hadn't anticipated that his master would start mocking him.

.Gongsun Ling also stopped drinking the tea and looked at Yang Chen with a thoughtful expression, as if waiting for him to reply.

"Not really, but I was reminded of this because of her."

Yang Chen neither confirmed nor completely refused to answer:

"However, disciple had learned this technique long ago, so the credit doesn't go to her."

After he said this, Yang Chen also felt somewhat strange. How could he remember the things he had done with Shi Shanshan so easily? Although juniors offering tea to their seniors isn't anything strange, but Yang Chen certainly wouldn't have done so earlier.

Although he felt strange, it didn't obstruct them from enjoying this pastime with nothing on hand. Yang Chen's technique was exceptionally good. Moreover, the water he had used this time was also far better as well as the maturity of tea leaves had been increased by two hundred years after being passed through the Medicine Garden, so the tea was more fragrant and stronger compared to when he had made it together with Shi Shanshan. Although Gao Yue and Gongsun Ling never had the habit of drinking tea previously, but that didn't stop them from relishing it now.

She Kui and Xie Sha were acting completely like servants, regardless of how high their cultivation was. They didn't care about anything and were only interested in following Yang Chen to kill and burn. On the whole journey, only his master and senior apprentice sister conversed with him.

"So where are you taking us?"

Seeing that they had reached ocean after Yang Chen had piloted the Flying Shuttle for two months and the Flying Shuttle had transformed into a huge ship floating on the ocean, Gao Yue couldn't help but ask.

"You will know when we reach there."

Yang Chen still didn't reveal anything, fearing that it would ruin the surprise. To reach QingQiong Mountain, they must cross the ocean, but seeing that his master was enjoying the scenery along the way, Yang Chen wished that the journey would last longer.

"Is it some place you have read about in some book?"

Gao Yue again guessed.

"Yes!"

Yang Chen hastily nodded his head. Only now, he clearly realized how effective his image of a scholar and avid reader had become. Any unnatural matter could be pushed under with this excuse. In any case, others were incapable of verifying, and Yang Chen himself wouldn't also tell them which book it was. In fact, even if they tried to verify, it would take long time to properly confirm things.

"Ok!"

Gao Yue didn't press him anymore and steered the subject to another direction:

"Yang Chen, how are you thinking of dealing with the Green Jade Immortal Islands' Fairy Shi and the Clear Sky Sect's Sun Qingxue?"

"Disciple himself doesn't know."

Hearing this question, a bitter smile appeared on Yang Chen's face and he sighed deeply. Actually, he also didn't know how to deal with it:

"Palace Master has said to not discriminate among them and had asked disciple to go out with Sun Qingxue on a trip to gain experience. Disciple was just fretting over this."

"What's there to worry about."

When Gao Yue saw Yang Chen's face, her mood suddenly became cheerful for some reason compared to her earlier depressed mood when she had mentioned this matter. She continued in a joking voice:

"In any case, whether it is Fairy Shi or Sun Qingxue, both are good talented geniuses. They are both immortal level figures so why are you unhappy that they want to become your dao companion?"

Seeing the ineffable smile on his master's face, Yang Chen didn't have the heart to change the topic and could only raise his hand lazily in response to his master's joke.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about it so much."

Gao Yue didn't stop there and her next words completely stunned Yang Chen:

"Great men usually have three or four concubines. There is also your senior apprentice sister Gongsun within the sect, although she cannot compare to the two fairies but you should accept them all, either way you have more than one type of spirit power, don't you?"

Once she said these words, not only Yang Chen was completely shocked, even Gongsun Ling was also frightened by Gao Yue's words. Her face flushed because of embarrassment and her thoughts were completely mixed up. She was even confused with where she had placed her hands.

After Gao Yue said this sentence, her heart suddenly felt relaxed. Yang Chen was her disciple. Anything happening between them was seemingly impossible. But since he was her disciple, Gao Yue as his master, must think about these things. Naturally the better wife Yang Chen got, the happier she would be.

Once she thought of this, although she felt some indescribable sadness, but another part of her heart also felt glad. He was her disciple so it was natural that she would wholeheartedly think and care about him. Since Yang Chen didn't know what to do, it seems his master would have to make the decision.

"What…….what…….."

Yang Chen was at a loss of words and could only say these two words foolishly. Then his gaze moved from Gao Yue to Gongsun Ling who was sitting on other side feeling extremely embarrassed and hadn't said anything.

"What? You don't like your senior apprentice sister?"

Gao Yue seemed intent on discussing this topic and directly pulled Gongsun Ling towards her:

"Is your senior apprentice sister lacking in any way compared to those two? Have you looked properly? In terms of appearance, Ling'er can be considered as one of the best. In terms of talent, Ling'er has full earth spirit root, in terms of cultivation, she is almost at the same level as you. A match made in heaven!"

When she had been discussing the matter of Yang Chen's dao companion with Gongsun Ling, she had replied somewhat unnaturally. Gao Yue had seen through it long ago, but hadn't got the chance to talk about it. Gao Yue herself was having contradictory views, so how couldn't she understand what Gongsun Ling was thinking. Gongsun Ling was hindered by her status as senior apprentice sister and couldn't take the initiative, so Gao Yue had substituted her and proposed this. In any case, she was just concerned about her disciple, so naturally the more he got the better, the more suitable they were the happier she would be. Moreover Gongsun Ling was also an acquaintance, so when the time came, she would take good care of Yang Chen.

Hearing Gao Yue suggest her so openly, Gongsun Ling bashfully lowered her head, but for some reason she felt loosened. The words hidden deep within her heart were being spoken by Gao Yue. Although she wasn't personally raising the issue but the load on her mind had been removed.

Right now, Gongsun Ling was feeling nervous thinking about what Yang Chen's answer would be. Whether he would think she was shameless and was using other people to suggest her. However she also didn't know what to say in this situation. Her tender body had already started to slightly tremble.

Yang Chen hadn't anticipated that his master would surprisingly think that this was the way to show concern for him. /this situation was completely different from what he had thought. In his heart, the person he loved most was his own master. He had thought only about her for more than ten thousand years in his previous life. With great difficulty, he had been able to see her again and enter her tutelage and again experience all those beautiful moments. How could his master suddenly try to find other people for him?

"No……..I don't dislike senior apprentice sister."

Yang Chen was upset but he knew that this was not the time to break the heart of Gongsun Ling. If he said that he didn't like her then it would certainly hurt her. However, this situation was completely different from what Yang Chen wanted, but how can he speak his mind?

Hearing Yang Chen's words, Gongsun Ling's shivering tender body suddenly became tranquil. All of a sudden, warm currents began to flow through her heart making Gongsun Ling's whole body from top to bottom feel relaxed.

During the few breaths of time when she was waiting for Yang Chen's answer, Gongsun Ling felt as if she was going all out and fighting with some and felt her body weakening as if her strength was being pulled out by someone. Once these words came out of Yang Chen's mouth, Gongsun Ling was almost unable to support herself and felt weak in her knees. Fortunately, she was already sitting and hadn't lost her self control completely.

After arranging her thoughts as the master, Gao Yue suddenly discovered that she could easily see what Yang Chen and Gongsun Ling were thinking. Because of their previous contact, Gongsun Ling had favourable impression towards Yang Chen but didn't dare to say anything.

As for Gao Yue herself, deep within her heart, she also hated to push Yang Chen towards other people. However, she was Yang Chen's master, so how could their relationship be possible? How could they not consider the bond between master and disciple? Gao Yue still hadn't come to accept such situation.

"Since this is the case, then I as your master will make the decision. What else were you worried about?"

Gao Yue completely assumed Yang Chen's master's attitude and said to him with a straight face.

Too sudden, all of this was too sudden. Yang Chen was completely shocked by Gao Yue's words and seemed to have gone completely silly.

Following the order of seniority between master and disciple, Yang Chen must listen to Gao Yue's instruction. This was to display his respect towards his master. But if he followed his feelings, then whatever the case may be, he could never accept such arrangements made by Gao Yue.

He hadn't been reborn after spending over ten thousand years previously and entered the tutelage of his master again, just to see his master arrange another dao companion for himself.

"Master!"

Yang Chen suddenly smiled and said:

"Do you think that the Clear Sky Sect and the Green Jade Immortal Islands would agree to their heavenly talents jointly becoming the dao companion of the disciple?"

Since he couldn't accept master's arrangements, Yang Chen must find a justifiable reason to refuse them. Moreover, this reason should be something significant.

The Green Jade Immortal Islands and the Clear Sky Sect were both outstanding big sects. Permitting their heavenly geniuses to become Yang Chen's dao companions was already their limit. If he simultaneously dual cultivated with the disciples of both sects, then that wouldn't be forming relationship between the sect rather it would be provocation.

Yang Chen thought of this reason, Gao Yue also started to think about it and couldn't help but feel discouraged. However when she saw the slightly depressed Gongsun Ling, she gritted her teeth:

"Since you can accept them both simultaneously then just become the dao companion with your senior apprentice sister. It will also free you from worrying about them."

Once these words came out of her mouth, Gongsun Ling felt even more ashamed and lowered her head. Both her hands were fiddling with the small tea cups as if trying to wring out water from them. There was nothing she could dare to say, so she just remained seated at her place.

"That would require the Palace Master's approval."

Yang Chen forced a smile. The sudden transformation in Gao Yue's attitude had completely confused him.

"You are correct!"

After some thinking, Gao Yue could only abandon this topic grudgingly:

"Then you tell us. This training location we going towards, what kind of things will we encounter there?"

Although Yang Chen had maintained complete secrecy on this topic, but at this moment, he didn't care about leaking out a few things:

"Perhaps there won't be anything too special. If our luck is good, we might find a pile of thousand year old herbs, magic weapons left by seniors or perhaps some lost cultivation method, spirit veins contained abundant spirit power and things like that."

"If our luck is good?"

This topic wasn't so embarrassing for Gongsun Ling, hearing the clues mentioned by Yang Chen, she immediately rhetorically asked:

"Then what if our luck isn't good?"

"If our luck isn't good then….."

Yang Chen turned his head to look towards She Kui and Xie Sha who were equivalently excited and suddenly replied with a smile:

"Then we may find some fierce demon beasts as well as formidable puppets."

Chapter 228 – Finding A Good Location

20 Dec 2017

QingQiong Mountain was located on a gigantic island, but there weren't many green hills or clear waters there. Neither were there many types of trees also. It was very difficult to believe that this place surprisingly held a heavenly grade cave.

Yang Chen landed his Flying Shuttle, and everyone stepped on the island looking at each other in dismay. Although watching the majestic ocean surging with great waves every day had broadened their horizons, stepping on the land again after one whole month was much more delightful. However, their excitement soon turned to confusion.

"Here? There are demon beasts here?"

She Kui didn't believe that there could be demon beasts here. He even flew around the whole island once and asked Yang Chen with surprise.

Although there were a few high peaks on the island, there were only few coconut trees growing near the ocean. He even couldn't find any source of water present there. As far as he could see, the entire place was filled with mountain rocks.

Let alone demon beasts, any living organism would only be seen after great difficulty. That is if you don't consider the coconut trees growing near the ocean as living organisms.

"I believe you should not always trust books mindlessly!"

Gao Yue had rarely seen Yang Chen getting conned. Feeling happy, she assumed the attitude of an earnest master and guided Yang Chen.

However, her face looked so beautiful that even if she was talking to a board, then it also would have made Yang Chen feel envious. When he saw Gao Yue, he became dazed while suddenly looking at her beautiful appearance and unable to say anything.

"Junior apprentice brother!"

Gongsun Ling helplessly called him, trying to wake him from that kind of infatuated state. She couldn't help but feel somewhat bitter.

Almost anyone could see that Yang Chen's heart was on his master, but no one said anything. Moreover, Gao Yue had made her resolve that since she is Yang Chen's master, she would always think about him from a master's standpoint.

"Could the demon beasts be in the ocean?"

She Kui standing at the coast, gazed at the ocean wrinkling his brows. There were countless demon beasts swimming in the ocean. Everyone knew this fact. But he and Xie Sha were earth attributed demon beasts. Although among the five phases earth subdued water, but going into the ocean wasn't too convenient for them.

"If everyone knew about the treasures here, then wouldn't the people have already taken it away?"

Yang Chen didn't say anything towards his master, but he said this to She Kui and Xie Sha:

"Do you want to make a bet?"

"What kind of bet?"

She Kui and Xie Sha weren't afraid of making any bets with Yang Chen. In fact, neither of them cared much about the outcome. Cultivators and demon beasts' reasoning on different matters is sometimes greatly different.

"Bet all the earnings you get inside."

Yang Chen joked, but then he sensed it was not proper and supplemented:

"Half of your earnings, I mean."

"Ok!"

She Kui and Xie Sha were completely unaffected. In any case, any treasure obtained would be because Yang Chen gave them the chance, so giving half their harvests to Yang Chen wasn't impossible.

When Gao Yue and Gongsun Ling saw Yang Chen being cheeky in front of two YuanYing stage experts, they also didn't try to stop him. They knew that She Kui and Xie Sha didn't care much about such things.

"Follow me then!"

Yang Chen immediately took the lead and flew on his flying sword towards the highest peak among all the other mountains. The others also weren't willing to fall behind and followed him.

All the peaks assembled on this island formed the QingQiong Mountain. The sect which initially resided on the QingQiong Mountain had fallen ten thousand years ago, so the fact that no one knew about it was completely normal.

After flying along the surrounding of the peak once, Yang Chen confirmed the position and drove his flying sword to reach halfway to the mountain, continuing to hover there.

Everyone was at loss while looking at Yang Chen's action, but no one said anything and calmly waited.

Everyone could clearly see a series of flickering formation symbols radiating from Yang Chen's hands, flashing and dying out without entering that almost vertical precipice. Different symbols contained different spirit power and spell formations and flickered continuously.

When Yang Chen stopped, everyone looked at the precipice opposite to them as if they had woken from a dream. Above the rock half hanging in the air, a transparent and barely visible door appeared. Even though they were cultivators, they could barely make out the door even at such close distance.

"You all go in first, after I go in, the door will close and vanish which could only be opened from inside."

Yang Chen instructed them:

"After going inside, remain cautious and don't run around everywhere for the time being, everyone stay together at the same place."

The sudden appearance of the door caused everyone to become cautious. When Yang Chen earnestly warned them, all of them understood that it was dangerous inside. Immediately, everyone prepared their defensive magic weapons and flying swords first, only then nodded to Yang Chen implying that they were ready to go in.

She Kui and Xie Sha lead the way, they were YuanYing stage experts, so if they encountered something dangerous, they will be able to resist it for sometime. They were followed by Gao Yue, who had unleashed her fire attributed spirit power restoring her cultivation base back to JieDan stage. The last one was Gongsun Ling followed by Yang Chen.

The door seemed to have a criss crossed spell formation on it. After entering, there found a long twisted tunnel. Everyone followed Yang Chen's instructions and didn't run around carelessly, only checked their surroundings.

In terms of spiritual awareness, Yang Chen could be said to be the most formidable one among them. Furthermore, after releasing the spiritual awareness threads, the extent of his probe was even larger than She Kui and Xie Sha. Only after carefully investigating once, Yang Chen felt at ease.

A small fire was lighted using a very small fire attributed spell formation. This fire only had the size of torch and could sustain on a low grade spirit stone for a long time. This was refined by Gongsun Ling herself for use at the Immortal Falling Well, now was the perfect chance to use it again.

Everyone felt much more comfortable after the flame was ignited. Yang Chen indicated that there isn't any danger here but everyone still remained on their guard and slowly moved forward in the tunnel. Especially She Kui and Xie Sha who were holding their snake tooth dagger and scorpion tail thorn respectively and moved forward as if they were facing a huge enemy.

The tunnel was very clean without the slightest speck of dust even after so many years. Seemingly it was because of the spell formation for eliminating dust. This seemed the most plausible explanation since even the spell formation for special entrance had lasted so many years, then what to speak of a minor spell. This region was supposed to be rich in spirit power so this was normal.

However speaking of spirit power being abundant, Yang Chen was somewhat confused, this tunnel seemed to be completely ordinary without the slightest sensation that it was rich in spirit power, this matter made him extremely suspicious.

This ancient tunnel was completely composed of bricks which were engraved with some symbols unknown to everyone. Surprisingly, usage of spiritual awareness was also cut off within the tunnel, so moving in this ten thousand years old, even if it was Yang Chen, he also had to be cautious.

Others following behind him, kept slowly moving but no one had as many thoughts as Yang Chen. All of them were extremely vigilant to defend against any possible danger they may encounter. Yang Chen had told them that if their luck wasn't good, they may encounter countless demon beasts and puppets, this thought weighed heavily on everyone's mind.

Suddenly light appeared in front of them, seeing it, Yang Chen hinted for Gongsun Ling to extinguish the fire. Everyone walked a few more steps and could immediately see a huge and illuminated hall.

The appearance of the halls shocked everyone, the size of this hall was far larger compared to Pure Yang Palace's main hall. It had sufficient to hold more than a thousand disciples with enough to spare.

The hall was completely empty, apart from the single decorated door from which they entered, there weren't anything else. The enormous hall didn't even have a single pills which made it seem even more empty. At the top of the hall, several hundred flickering pearls could be seen which illuminated the hall making it feel as if it was day time.

On the other side of the hall, there were five glittering door like things. There was nothing in other places, except from the jade tiles neatly spread on the floor, the hall was completely empty.

"That should be the exit."

Yang Chen had rough knowledge of some things, he said pointing towards the door.

No one else had any other idea and followed behind Yang Chen to arrive in front of those door arranged in a row. Soon after, Gao Yue turned her head and asked Yang Chen:

"Which door should we pick?"

Without waiting for Yang Chen's reply, She Kui had already opened the door on the right most side. Seeing this, Yang Chen was alarmed but before he could stop She Kui, a white light suddenly flickered and then She Kui's body was thrown towards the other side of the hall by some kind of huge pressure.

While everyone hastily rushed towards She Kui to support him, She Kui slowly stood up. When he saw Yang Chen examining his body with a confused gaze, he hastily yelled:

"There's no problem! There's no problem!"

A force which can casually throw away a YuanYing expert like She Kui towards the other end of the room, when the others thought about the source, they were extremely terrified. She Kui was only thrown towards the other end, but hadn't suffered any internal injuries and soon stood up on his feet. After making some random movements, he seemed to be completely fine.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Yang Chen, waiting for his response. Yang Chen bitterly smiled while inspecting She Kui, but didn't say anything and only shook his head.

"Those five doors should be arranged according to cultivation realm difference."

Yang Chen didn't continue the suspense and began to explain:

"People with different cultivations can enter different doors. The rightmost one should be for Dacheng experts."

Everyone seemed to have suddenly understood, according to this hypothesis, the doors should be divided between Qi layer, Foundation stage, JieDan, YuanYing and Dacheng stage. Experts can enter any door for cultivators lower than their cultivation, but they definitely cannot enter the doors for higher level cultivators, even if some kind of spatial item like Medicine Garden was used, it was still impossible.

This time, She Kui didn't dare to move around randomly, just opening a wrong door had made him clearly realize that he wasn't anything formidable here. No one had come here before them, therefore everyone had unanimously agreed to check out the qi layer door first. In case, some mishap occurs, they should be able to handle it with their cultivation levels.

Yang Chen pushed his hand inside the leftmost door and didn't sense any repulsion as if outside was completely empty. Yang Chen pulled his hand back and signalled She Kui and Xie She that everything was ok. Seeing this, both of them immediately took out their destined magic weapons and went inside followed by Yang Chen, Gao Yue and Gongsun Ling respectively.

The scenery suddenly changed, the region where everyone found themselves had huge fields, mountains, rivers, grasslands, forests and everything else that could be found. Everyone was gobsmacked seeing this.

It was really deserving to be called a heavenly grade magic weapon, even the Qi layer region was surprisingly this large. Yang Chen flew within the sky and looked everything, roughly estimating it to have a perimeter of 1000 miles.

The place where they had appeared was the exit of a huge palace. Below them was a group of grand palaces situated on the mountain. These grand palace filled the entire peak of the mountain.

What surprised everyone was the quietness here, without the slightest sound. The quiet among the large number of grand palace seemed quite eerie to them.

"Let's see if it worth something which should be collected!"

Suddenly Yang Chen excitedly said:

"I told you that I will lead you to riches, let's see how good your luck is!"

Everyone again looked at Yang Chen with amazement, but seeing the serious look on his face, all of them were excited and began to disperse.

"Wait wait!"

Yang Chen suddenly stopped everyone:

"This is the region for Qi layer disciples, if you encounter demon beasts and puppets, then don't kill the ones whom you can allow to live, they will be good for training of disciples in the future." " Everyone agreed, Yang Chen again supplemented like an old man:

"Treasures are also the same, don't be greedy for things which you don't need, leave some things for the future generation. We will again find treasures in high level areas!"

"Yes we know! Troublesome!"

Gao Yue smiled towards Yang Chen while impatiently saying this. Then she urged her flying sword and began to tour around the group of palaces.

Yang Chen also began to scroll around with curiosity in the surroundings of the nearest palaces. After taking a round around the group of nearest palaces, he discovered that it was basically a fully functioning sect's encampment. All types of palace halls, all types of dwellings for disciples and other such things were built in complete detail.

The only strange thing was that although there was no one inside them, but there still wasn't any speck of dust inside. Soon, Yang Chen discovered an extremely concealed aureole outside the group of palaces, he had almost skipped over it while sweeping the surroundings with his spiritual awareness and was only able to find it because the formidable spiritual awareness threads formed by Three Purities Secrets.

After examining for a moment, Yang Chen finally became certain that this wasn't just a simple aureole rather a boundary. After coming out of this aureole, he could sense the presence of demon beasts, but after coming inside, the presence immediately vanished. In other words, the area inside this aureole must be safe zone.

After discovering this, Yang Chen was completely dumbfounded, how was this a simple sect encampment, it was clearly a sect's encampment and locations for training together. This was basically the most suitable location for a sect, a perfect location for a dojo.

After entering here, he could clearly sense the abundant spirit power, which made him feel a little like when he had entered the Second Fierce Yang Courtyard. Although it was as rich as Second Fierce Yang Courtyard, but this was a region for Qi layer disciples, who knows what kind of surprises were waiting for him at the Foundation stage, JieDan and YuanYing stage locations?

"Yang Chen, quickly come!"

Gongsun Ling's voice suddenly echoed from far away, because the region was too quiet, her voice had transmitted from a long distance.

Yang Chen was startled and hastily flew towards her. While flying towards her, he saw Gongsun Ling standing in front of an enormous palace hall. There was a large board handing in front of the palace hall. On the board, three words were written in ancient language "Concealed Scripture Hall".

Seeing that Gongsun Ling wasn't in trouble, Yang Chen slightly calmed down and advanced towards the Concealed Scripture Hall. Although there was nothing special about it on the outside, but when Yang Chen entered the Concealed Scripture Hall, he was stunned.

Countless enormous bookshelves on whom numerous jade slips were neatly arranged. This Concealed Scripture Hall is surprisingly not empty.

Chapter 229- Unexpected Surprise

20 Dec 2017

Gongsun Ling's yell attracted everyone to rush over here, when they saw this scene, mix of surprise and alarm could be seen on their face.

Everyone was clear, regardless of whatever kind of medicinal ingredients or magic weapons they find, none of that could be compared to a sect's inheritance. And these densely packed jade slips was precisely that inheritance.

"What are you all looking at? Collect them quickly!"

Looking at everyone rooted to the spot, Yang Chen hastily reminded them what should they do:

"God knows what danger will we face, first collect these, then we will see what to do."

Everyone seemed to have woken up from a dream and under Yang Chen's reminder, all of them scattered in different directions and began to collect the jade slips one after other within their qiankun pouches. There was no time to look at these, everyone was focused on collecting the jade slips first, then if they got the opportunity, they can take a look.

After rushing for one hour, all these were collected. After completing everything, everyone looked at each others with a smile on their faces.

"Other layers must also have some!"

Gao Yue suddenly realized and yelled with surprise reminding everyone.

Without saying anything, they directly made a beeline for the entrance gate of main and returned back to the original hall. Yang Chen said to She Kui and Xie Sha:

"You both, one go to YuanYing stage region, one go to JieDan stage region. First collect all the things in the Concealed Scripture Halls before anything else."

Apart from Yang Chen, no one else knew the dangers of this dwelling. Hearing Yang Chen's words, She Kui and Xie Sha went through the third and fourth door. Yang Chen however pointed to the second door and said:

"Master, senior apprentice sister, we will go through this one."

Saying this, he stepped through the door.

The scenery again transformed, everything was different from the earlier place, but the main structure was mostly identical. The three of them quickly found the location of Concealed Scripture Hall. It didn't betray their expectations, foundation stage region's Concealed Scripture Hall was also similarly filled with jade slips.

No one was courteous this time, first they were focused on collecting these treasures, then move about on other things. After a wave of looting, the Foundation stage region's Concealed Scripture Hall was raked clean by the three of them.

After they returned back to the hall, She Kui and Xie Sha still hadn't come back. After all, they were collecting by themselves so they wouldn't be quick like Yang Chen who had two more people to help him and required more time.

After approximately two more hours, She Kui and Xie Sha finally returned back to the hall. However, their expressions weren't so good.

"What happened, some problem inside?"

Yang Chen hastily asked.

"We discovered JieDan stage demon beast under a mountain."

She Kui had entered the JieDan stage region, he continued:

"However, they hadn't advanced inside."

"YuanYing stage region was also the same, only the enemy there was more powerful puppets."

Xue Sha had also discovered a formidable opponent:

"In the beginning, I thought they were going to attack but later discovered that they cannot come near. Only then could I feel relieved and collected the jade slips."

Yang Chen had known about this earlier, but it allowed others to discover something interesting. Now, everyone could understand the main use of this dwelling.

"So what do we do with all this?"

Gao Yue was completely at a loss while staring at the four qiankun pouches filled with jade slips, in a daze. While they were collecting it, she hadn't felt it to be too much, but when the time for putting these to some use came, she realized there were indeed too many jade slips.

Even a second rate sect like Pure Yang Palace had more than a million jade slips in the sect's Concealed Scripture Pavilion which recorded all types of things about cultivation methods, pill concocting, tool refining, spell formations, all types of cultivation knowledge as well as all sorts of scattered information.

This dojo was sufficiently two to three times the size of Pure Yang Palace, the jade slips collected by everyone numbered in several millions. The question of what to do with all these things had put everyone at loss.

"For you!"

She Kui and Xie Sha were straightforward and directly threw their qiankun pouches to Yang Chen. They were demon beasts so these cultivation methods and others things of humanity weren't of any use to them. It would be better to give them to Yang Chen as his portion because if there was something among these which they required, Yang Chen wouldn't be stingy. Yang Chen had made this fact clear over the time, so both of them didn't have any worries about it.

Seeing She Kui and Xie Sha's action, Gao Yue and Gongsun Ling looked at each other and smiled suddenly as if they had formed a mutually agreeable decision. They also tossed their qiankun pouches to Yang Chen:

"Yang Chen, this is for your toil, if there is something among these which you think we need, then give it to us."

Everyone had a multitudes of thought running through their mind regarding this enormous dojo. It was completely impossible for their group to seize it for themselves, however if they just hand it over to sect, that also won't be a justifiable way to deal with it.

Yang Chen had already led the sect to capture the Hundred Thousand Mountains very recently, if he again delivers this formidable dojo to the sect within such short time, then it will surely cause many people to raise their brows. By now, Yang Chen had done many astonishing things successively, if one more world shaking matter comes from him, then probably even the people within the sect would be unable to stand by idly.

One person getting in limelight all the time by himself isn't really a good thing. Therefore, for a long time in the future, this place will remain their private dojo.

Who discovers it, gets it. This is an accepted argument within the sect. All these jade slips and other inheritance type of things clearly belong to them only. However, since Yang Chen had led them here combined with the fact that he is also fond of reading different things, all this things should be best handed over to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen had led them all here so he trusted them enough to believe that if they found something suitable for him, they wouldn't secretly hide it otherwise he wouldn't have informed them about here. All of them were clearly aware of this fact.

After giving Yang Chen the jade slips, everyone sat down at the original hall and began to discuss their next action. After discovering that the demon beasts and puppets cannot enter a circular boundary, all of them clearly realized the situation here. This was simply the most suitable place to cultivate through battling, such a chance doesn't come by easily, they shouldn't waste it so easily.

"Probably everyone has discovered that this is a suitable location for your cultivation."

Yang Chen suggested a solution for them:

"Why not cultivate here once?"

This proposal obtained everyone's consent. The existence of the safe zone was enough to ensure the everyone's survival during training, She Kui and Xie Sha didn't have any hesitations and directly returned to the YuanYing stage experts' battling region.

Gongsun Ling also stood up while looking at Yang Chen and Gao Yue, after bidding them farewell, she also entered the Foundation Stage battling region, leaving behind only Yang Chen and Gao Yue within the main hall.

"Yang Chen, when are you planning to hand over this location to the sect?"

Gao Yue thought about it but felt that it was better to ask the question directly, therefore asked the question which she had been in her mind for a long time.

"When master enters the upper echelons of Pure Yang Palace or maybe when our Pure Yang Palace faces some calamity which could exterminate the sect."

Yang Chen laughed while informing her about his original plans.

"Upper echelons?"

Gao Yue shook her head:

"It is still too early to think about those imaginary matters. Yang Chen, what do you think, which path should be for master to test myself?"

"Foundation Stage!"

Yang Chen said without any hesitation:

"Qi layer region isn't useful, but gaining battle experience starting from low level battles is better, increasing your level step by step will make your foundation robust. Additionally, sometimes master should try to deliberately not kill those demon beasts and instead capture them alive. That would be even harder."

"Good, then I will go to the foundation stage region."

Gao Yue agreed without any resistance and again asked:

"What about you?"

In Gao Yue's view, Yang Chen apparently had never gone through any kind of battle experience. Moreover, he seemed to always understanding everything. Sometimes Gao Yue was unable to determine Yang Chen's present level.

"Disciple will also go to the foundation stage region."

Yang Chen smiled:

"However, forget about fighting, disciple will stay on one side and take a look at those jade slips."

As if she had guessed what Yang Chen was thinking, Gao Yue didn't seem to be surprised. Nodding her head, she said to Yang Chen:

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Yang Chen stood up and followed after Gao Yue to enter the foundation stage region. Gongsun Ling's figure had already disappeared from their view. She must have already gone outside the boundary. Gao Yue also chose some random direction and urged her flying sword towards it without saying anything.

As for Yang Chen, he casually walked to one corner which was rich in spirit power and laid down his black obsidian mat and sat on it. After making the preparations, he opened a qiankun pouch and began to go through those jade slips one by one.

The jade slips were sorted properly, according to different realms as well as different attributes. But those on some specific content were still mixed, so Yang Chen had to carefully read them one by one.

The dust filled bookshelves, were an identical mark of those sects who had disappeared from the cultivation world. Of all the jade slips, few hadn't been categorized.

It was naturally impossible for Yang Chen to read the several million jade slips in a short time. Thus, Yang Chen gave priority to examined the cultivation methods described on them first and see whether any of those methods caught his eye. The things from ten thousand years ago had many differences compared to the present.

However, while checking for cultivation method, at the same time Yang Chen also took a rough glance at the contents of all the jade slips, differentiating and categorizing them according to cultivation methods, spell formations, pill concocting, tool refining, cultivation insights and other random things.

His search naturally began from looking through foundation stage cultivation methods, but after going through several hundred cultivation methods, Yang Chen discovered that the cultivation world had indeed moved forward continuously. The cultivation methods from ten thousand years ago already lagged behind, and even the concept could be said to be conflicting with the cultivation methods of modern world.

At least within these past ten thousand years, cultivation methods had gone through great transformations involving opening more meridians, having even more potential as well as increasing the rate of spirit power absorption. The changes had been so enormous that cultivation methods of the past era and the current era couldn't be mentioned on the same terms.

Many rapid transformations had been happening within the world continuously. It was basically impossible for anyone who had found cultivation methods of ancient sects by fluke to start their own sect. Because of the countless ages of research and improvement by countless experts within the last ten thousand years, the present level of cultivation methods was at least two grades higher compared to before.

So far, every big sect would have specialized halls of experts to research the cultivation methods. Often, the big sects would sell their outdated cultivation methods to small sects and rogue cultivators.

When these cultivation methods will similarly spread to other big sects who would also have research specialists who would extract what they needed and remove the unnecessary parts, absorbing other's experiences to enrich their own sect's cultivation methods.

This was also the reason why Yang Chen didn't care much about choosing a cultivation method at a lower grade. After passing through this research and exchange, actually the speed of different cultivation methods was nearly the same, only the cultivation speeds were different.

But high level cultivation methods weren't the same, after reaching the YuanYing stage, the further cultivation included not only absorbing spirit power everyday, but a majority of it also relied on mental assurance as well as gaining an understanding of the natural order rather than just cultivating laboriously at early stages.

This is also the reason why after reaching the YuanYing stage, the people who had mediocre talent quickly fell behind compared to geniuses. The original difference of only several hundred years became as large as the difference between heaven and earth after reaching the YuanYing stage.

Yang Chen was only looking at these methods for consultation and didn't care much about gaining other things from them. While he was immersed in this process, time continued to pass. Yang Chen even didn't feel that a long time had passed, but Gao Yue informed him that one year had already passed.

During this one year, others also didn't bother Yang Chen much and were busy with their own cultivation. It has to be said that the growth acquired during battle is the quickest. When they encountered some demon beast which they couldn't beat, then that sensation of doing their utmost to return back to the safe zone, to return back alive, was precisely the best strategy for growth in cultivation.

Within this one year, Gongsun Ling's temperament had undergone a huge changes. She didn't seem that same sort of naive like before. Instead, her body radiated a hidden killing intent which ensured that she wasn't someone to be easily trifled with.

Before, mostly the disciples of Pure Yang Palace pursued a full faith in the principle of "not only to contend but to become invincible". This principle gave the feeling that the only way to increase cultivation was fair and honest. But, most disciples easily interpreted this as standing aloof over worldly matter, although their mental state ascended quickly but when facing genuine tribulation, they seemed to lack a sort of ruthlessness and determination. Many Pure Yang disciples had died because of this reason, including the previous life's Gongsun Ling.

Presently, Gongsun Ling didn't face this ending anymore. This was an extremely gratifying transformation. In fact, from the time the upper echelons began to conspire to capture the Hundred Thousand Mountains, this thought had began to slowly transform to the most widely spread thoughts of competing to win.

If Yang Chen didn't stop reading continuously, Gongsun Ling and Gao Yue would not come over and bother him. But just when Yang Chen withdrew himself from the books, both women appeared within the first moments after discovering this.

Yang Chen didn't continue anymore because he had found something which made him extremely excited. Within the several million jade slips, Yang Chen unexpectedly discovered the «Ninth Water True Secrets» of the Great Yin and Yang Five Phases Secrets.

This was mixed up with YuanYing stage cultivation methods and had been reviewed by people as extremely difficult to cultivate. Probably it was because people at that time didn't know that these Ninth Water True Secrets could only be cultivated with Ninth Water True Qi.

The most unexpected thing was that despite it being a «Ninth Water True Secrets» from ten thousand years ago, this cultivation method among the Great Yin and Yang Five Phases Secrets hadn't experienced any changes those ten thousand years?

This was the most original cultivation method, there almost wasn't any margin of improvement in it for a long time. After obtaining the Ninth Water True Secrets, Yang Chen had already obtained eight types of cultivation methods of the Great Yin and Yang Five Phases Secrets, only two remained which he hadn't found yet.

Chapter 230- Discovering Treasures Continuously

20 Dec 2017

Yang Chen had never expected that this legendary abode on QingQiong Mountain would bring such a pleasant surprise for him. This was completely beyond his expectations. Apparently, he need to make a trip to all the regions left behind by the immortals in the Mortal World, maybe they would have similar surprises waiting for him.

In his previous life, when Yang Chen was in the Mortal World, he never had the chance to access such high grade objects. At most, he would hear the information that some precious treasure had appeared for which countless sects would contest with each other. Among them were also some place where Ying and Yang Five Phases True Qi would be found, like the Fifth Earth True Qi of the Desolate Valley.

Among the Great Yin and Yang Five Phases Secrets, presently he still lack two methods. One was the Third Fire True Secrets and other was the Sixth Earth True Secrets, but now his hopes of obtaining them were raised again.

Although he had an idea about the location of those two methods, but Yang Chen was fully convinced that finding those two methods absolutely wouldn't be difficult compared to his rebirth.

What he must do presently was to increase his strength quickly. His cultivation of foundation stage was really insufficient in front of this grade of cultivation methods.

Although Yang Chen had already cultivated the Fifth Earth True Secrets and the Seventh Metal True Secrets, but that was because of coincidental opportunity and the main thing was that the places he absorbed the Fifth Earth True Qi and Seventh Metal True Qi were both safe places. But according to his memories, he knew that the other true qis of the Yin and Yang Five Phases Secrets would all be found in dangerous places where he had no way of reaching with his present strength.

"Did you find anything good?"

He could see that although Gao Yue and Gongsun Ling had undergone great changes during the training battles, they didn't conceal their joyous look from Yang Chen. Seeing this, he couldn't help but ask.

"There wasn't anything good, just some demon beasts."

Gongsun Ling replied with a smile. Gao Yue standing near her also nodded her head.

"Are you so happy because of these demon beasts?"

Yang Chen didn't believe their words, if there were only demon beasts then they wouldn't have been acting like this. After pondering for a moment, he immediately guessed something and asked with a smile:

"Senior apprentice sister, have you discovered some unique spell formation?"

"Nothing can be concealed from you."

Gongsun Ling stopped smiling and she started grumbling:

"Can't you pretend to not know for once? Guess now what kind of spell formation is it?"

Yang Chen stared at Gongsun Ling for a good moment which made her feel extremely uneasy. Only after more than half of her face had turned red, did he stop and say with a smile:

"Actually, the spell formation most worthy of studying is that classification spell formation in the outer hall and these safety spell formations, other than that, there aren't many things which can catch your attention. Senior apprentice sister, am I right?"

This time, even Gao Yue was slightly stupefied and suddenly asked:

"Then tell me what did I find?"

"Master should have discovered some tool refining method, am I right?"

Yang Chen turned towards her:

"Or you must have found a fragment of some magic weapon which you can use for consultancy?"

"If I hadn't personally witnessed your cultivation until today, I would really have thought that you are some kind of monster."

Gao Yue was astonished and said in a resigned tone looking at Yang Chen.

"If what I said is correct, then here are some jade slips which both you and senior apprentice sister should read once."

Yang Chen took out some jade slips from the pile he was reading through and handed them to the two:

"Only remember, although creative thinking requires guidance but you don't need to read much about the refining methods and techniques to lay down spell formations."

Yang Chen had specifically left these for them. Naturally he still had even higher grade ones but they were suitable for both of them for now. Moreover, Yang Chen didn't think that it wasn't worth for master and senior apprentice sister to research and study these ancient things in detail. The main priority here was to absorb that kind of creative thinking and not those techniques.

Both of them acted like they were holding their most precious treasures. It had to be said, Yang Chen guess was right at the mark. Gongsun Ling was intrigued by the spell formations in the safe zone as well as the spell formation which classified them according to cultivation. Not only that spell formation could prevent YuanYing stage and higher level demon beasts from coming outside, they also could easily throw away experts like She Kui, barring their entry into the regions not meant for them. This spell formation was an exceptionally good defensive spell formation.

As for Gao Yue, she had accidentally encountered some magic weapon fragment and discovered the hints of a strange tool refining method which was completely different from the tool refining techniques used presently. She was a fire attributed cultivator and was fond of refining weapons so she became excited instantly after discovering this.

However, they didn't waste much time pondering over them and remembered that Yang Chen had a pile of jade slips so certainly some of them must have information about these things. And as expected, as soon as they mentioned it, Yang Chen directly delivered them what they wanted.

Yang Chen's words were clear, these can be used as guides to learn the thought process of their predecessors, but the techniques themselves shouldn't be learned. Both of them also understood that after more than ten thousand years had passed, every type of cultivation methods or techniques had been improvised greatly, so they shouldn't neglect the fundamentals.

The most important treasure of this legendary cave were still those training location. They even allowed people to undergo life and death experience, after obtaining the jade slips, both women didn't start reading them immediately rather put this matter aside for now and went outside again to continue battling.

No one asked Yang Chen anything about why wasn't he participating in this training. Both women seemed to have realized that Yang Chen didn't require this. Seeing the disappearing figures of both females, Yang Chen stood up and stretched his body. Looking at the groups of palace halls, he suddenly felt very relaxed. If this life could last for eternity, wouldn't that be beautiful?

Unfortunately, this was only a dream, the path of cultivation wasn't so gentle. At most, they could stop caring about worldly matters, but there was still the heavenly tribulations, so Yang Chen couldn't help but relax now.

After stretching his body, Yang Chen again sat down and began to continue his search among the pile of several hundred thousands of jade slips. After obtaining the «Ninth Water True Secrets» previously, Yang Chen was convinced that there was certainly another similar treasure hidden among these countless jade slips waiting to be discovered by him.

Naturally, he didn't forget his cultivation while continuing his search. The Three Purities Secrets which were at third layer wasn't stopped and was continuously revolving through his body allowing Yang Chen to have a clear head and feel energetic.

He would stop after going through hundred jade slips every time and cultivate the Yin and Yang Five Phases Secrets and move his spirit energy once through all the meridians. Cultivation wasn't something where he would advance in a single night and receive a flash of enlightenment, regardless of whether it was Yang Chen or Gao Yue or Gongsun Ling or even She Kui and Xie Sha, none of them slacked in their cultivation.

Hard work doesn't fail. When Yang Chen had continued to sit for approximately half a year, he finally discovered an absolutely shocking cultivation method within the pile of jade slips which he had never expected to find there.

This cultivation method was said to be found unexpectedly because this was the cultivation of some servant of the Heavenly Court which basically shouldn't appear within the Mortal World. It was only for immortals which could only be found among the cultivation methods of Heavenly Court after entering there.

This cultivation method was called «Huangjin Strongman Body Refining Technique».

Huangjin Strongman was a servant at the Heavenly Court, so this method was prepared mainly for weak servants at the Heavenly Court. Naturally, the prerequisite of cultivating this cultivation method was that not only one's physical body must be strong but also its power must also be sufficient.

The main condition to cultivate this cultivation method was that one must have at least 18,000 kg of power. This wasn't the power generated by rotating their cultivation base, rather strength of only the physical body. Attaining this kind of power by just relying on the physical was almost impossible.

Before he began the cultivation of this body refining technique, Huangjin Strongman still had to cultivate a heap of supplementary cultivation methods and fulfill this condition, only then could he truly began the cultivation of Huangjin Strongman Body Refining Technique.

In the eyes of others, Huangjin Strongman seemed to have reached this level of strength by carrying heavy objects from one place to another, but the real reason was this. Huangjin Strongman had great power but weaker battle prowess so he could only work like a low level servant in the Heavenly Court.

But, Huangjin Strongman didn't continue to live his entire life like this. When his strength reached a certain level, he revealed his terrifying power which didn't seem to lose to spirit power of cultivation methods. For example, within the book 'foolish old man moves the mountain', the two sons of Kua'ershi had casually carried the Taihang Mountain and Wangwu Mountains and separated them.

Body strength to extreme limit is extremely terrifying and comparable to remarkable abilities which could move mountains and drain seas. This was a true fact otherwise no one would have cultivated this kind of cultivation method.

For Yang Chen, this Huangjin Strongman Body Refining Technique was a completely unexpected benefit. The benefits provided to him by the QingQiong Mountain didn't stop at a perfect training location and Ninth Water True Secrets, now he had also obtained the Huangjin Strongman Body Refining Technique.

It was completely impossible within the Mortal World that there would be anyone else whose physical strength would reach 18,000 kg. But Yang Chen was different, his physical body had nourished by the blood of countless immortals and thus had already reached its peak condition. Furthermore, Yang Chen had tempered his physical body before starting cultivation, so by the time he entered Pure Yang Palace, his body had already been remarkable.

At that time, Yang Chen had mowed down Shen Da and others using a metal rod strengthened by thousand catty talisman. Although the thousand catty talisman didn't exactly have the power of thousand catties, but after many thousand catty talismans were used to strengthen the talisman tool iron rod, then it should have the strength of at least 30,000 catties or 18,000 kg. Even if Shen Da wasn't influenced by the thousand catty talisman since he was the master of the talisman tool but after it was reinforced with several thousand catty talismans; he basically couldn't stand while holding it.

At that time, Yang Chen had barely entered the qi layer while now the spirit energy of all his ten attributes was already at foundation stage and his body was being nourished by the spirit energy of the world and had become even stronger. Although Yang Chen hadn't tempered only his physical body for a long time, but his body's foundations were still there and would remain there eternally.

Yang Chen also hadn't tested whether he did truly have the strength of 30,000 catties, but since he had found such a formidable method, so wouldn't not cultivating it be a complete loss?

Thinking about the time in the future, when he would hold his Immortal Executing Blade possessed by Yazi as well as possess formidable spiritual awareness as well as physical body, who would still dare to resist him? With a physical body which could move mountains and seas, reinforced by the spiritual awareness condensed by the Three Purities Secrets as well as the immortal executing blade bestowed by Yazi, he could cut monsters, armies, anything. At that time, there wouldn't be any living being who would be able to escape in one piece from him.

Cultivation method used by low level servant? Too inferior to show in public? Yang Chen never had such thinking. In his view, there was no difference between the power of nobles or peasants, there was only the power itself.

However, the conditions of cultivating the Huangjin Strongman Body Refining Technique were very strict. If his physical body didn't have the power of 30,000 catties, then his body would simply be incapable of supporting the enormous pressure produced by cultivation of this technique and would crack, causing him to die.

With no way out, Yang Chen could only test himself first to confirm whether he truly had the required strength or not. Otherwise if his body cracked during cultivation and he died, that wouldn't be funny.

There was no lack of things for testing here. Yang Chen randomly chose a pile of stone which should surpass the thirty thousand catties energy constraint. He refine these stones to create a stele with a handle. Just to be sure, he added another thousand catties of stone in the mixture and began to test.

Since he hadn't relied on his only physical strength for a long time, Yang Chen first used the body refining fists solemnly. After warming up, he crouched down and grabbed the handle of the stele with his both hands and began to lift it.

After some slight shaking, the enormous stele slowly left the ground. With Yang Chen using his full strength, he raised it above his head.

Bang, the enormous stele which was triple the height of Yang Chen and thick enough that his arms could wrap around was directly thrown on the ground by Yang Chen. Although it wasn't easy for Yang Chen to produce the strength to lift up thirty thousand catties, but using his full strength, he was able to lift it up.

This was sufficient to confirm that Yang Chen's body had already satisfied the basic condition for cultivating the Huangjin Strongman Body Refining Technique and he could cultivate this cultivation method which increased his physical body's strength and strengthened it.

When Gao Yue and Gongsun Ling noticed the difference in Yang Chen, he was already sitting on one side, cultivating this Huangjin Strongman Body Refining Technique. The reason why they found him different was because Yang Chen's body seemed to have suddenly inflated from inside, from time to time, some part of his body would again swell or suddenly shrink. Below his body, there seemed to be a strange monster which was incessantly saluting it with both hands, all of this was extremely strange.

Both women were slightly astonished, but no one dared to bother Yang Chen. Yang Chen seemed to be extremely serious, so he certainly must be practicing some strange cultivation method he found here. However, hadn't he said to them that they must only think creatively using the concept to create the cultivation method but must not learn the cultivation method itself? Then why is he himself cultivating some cultivation method from here?

Yang Chen's body continued to transform continuously. Every part of flesh on his body seemed to strongly thumping and compacting, every muscle on his body had become even more formidable compared to before it was compacted.

While cultivating, Yang Chen hadn't discovered that within a short time, his entire body was filled with strong muscles. Every part of flesh on his body had faintly swelled up and covered the whole body.

When all of his flesh had stopped transforming, Yang Chen finally completed his first cultivation of Huangjin Strongman Body Refining Technique. As soon as he stopped cultivating, Yang Chen immediately sensed the presence of Gao Yue and Gongsun Ling.

"What?"

Yang Chen had spent half a month during the first cultivation of this body refining technique. But Yang Chen didn't think that it was something the two females would be astonished about. However the expression on the faces of his master and senior apprentice sister didn't resemble their calm expressions, so what was the matter here?

Chapter 231- Body Transformation

20 Dec 2017

After he said this, Yang Chen couldn't help but look down at his body and he was completely startled when he did so. The clothes on his body had surprisingly become too small for him at some point of time, although they weren't completely stretched taut, however he clearly looked very funny.

After sweeping with spiritual awareness, he immediately became clear about everything. During the few days he cultivated the Hunagjin Lisi Body Refining Technique, Yang Chen's figure had increased rapidly. His body wasn't well proportioned anymore, rather his muscles had increased greatly turning him into a bodybuilder.

Cultivators especially those who have reached foundation stage have automatic transformation in their body once the spirit energy of the world enters to body. Generally, very few people would have the figure of a strong man with their entire body full of muscles, most of the cultivators prefer well proportioned bodies since it has great benefits in both cultivations and coordinating with others.

But presently, Yang Chen had surprisingly transformed into a strong man with large muscles. His entire body seemed to be exploding with muscles. A single glance would leave the impression of overflowing power on anyone. However, this kind of body figure didn't provide any great superiority among the battle between cultivators, thus very few people would willing be let themselves be transformed into such appearance.

However some people who cultivate special body techniques would have this kind of body. How could Yang Chen's appearance transform so much? Gao Yue and Gongsun Ling were completely at a loss.

Once he stood up, Yang Chen discovered that his height which originally was only a little more than the two women had increased by much. Now if he wanted to look at them, he had to bow down his head to see.

Looking at the short clothes covering his body, Yang Chen forced a bitter smile while shaking his head and offered an explanation:

"I had encountered a good cultivation method and wanted to give it a try thus causing this transformation."

On his one side, the enormous stone stele was lying not too far from them, it could be assumed that they both understood what it was used for. Looking at Yang Chen's comical appearance with unfitting clothes, both of them couldn't control laughing and burst out laughing.

They completely were unworried that Yang Chen would have cultivated some unsuitable cultivation method which had created problems in his cultivation base, in this field, Yang Chen's knowledge and experience far surpassed both of them. So when they saw Yang Chen's comical appearance, they were unable to control their laughter.

Yang Chen knew that he looked a little funny right now, so he didn't pay any attention to the reaction of the both of them and directly went to the enormous stone stele lying on the other side. But before he bowed down and grabbed it to test his strength, Gongsun Ling shouted:

"Let me try!"

Once these words left her mouth, Yang Chen didn't contest with her. Gongsun Ling walked over here and grabbed the two metal handles refined by Yang Chen with both hands. She rotated her spirit energy which spread everywhere and the enormous stele was slowly left the ground.

A tender female lifting a enormous stone stele which was almost ten meters in height and multiple times thicker than her waist. If some ordinary person would have witnessed this scene, he will certainly be extremely shocked. But here, in the eyes of Yang Chen and Gao Yue, this wasn't anything exceptional. If someone with a cultivation of mid foundation stage didn't have the strength to lift of weight of thirty thousand catties then she can only be considered as extremely weak.

"Yang Chen, what use is your cultivation method?"

Gongsun Ling easily placed down the stone stele, she didn't seem out of breath and was completely relaxed:

"It doesn't seem very difficult to me!"

"I just found this cultivation method and wanted to try, that's all."

Yang Chen also didn't offer much explanation, some things were better left unexplained as they couldn't know that this is a cultivation method which could only be used by someone of the Heavenly Court. So he only gave a single line explanation to elaborate how formidable it was.

"Additionally, though it isn't difficult, but it also isn't too easy."

Yang Chen again supplemented and walked forward a few steps reaching the stone stele.

His one foot lightly touched the corner of the stone stele and the enormous stele suddenly flew high in the air as if it was suddenly struck by some large force. When it started to fell down with great momentum, Yang Chen stretched one hand and grabbed one handle within midair and stopped the stone stele from falling downwards and lifted it above his head. All of its weight was controlled by Yang Chen using just one arm.

Grabbing this metal handle, Yang Chen easily swung the stone stele through the air. Terrifying sounds echoed through the air and the stone stele was used by Yang Chen with one hand like using a rod in a systematic manner. However, regardless of whether he chopped down or swept across, it didn't encounter any material and was only swept and chopped through empty air.

After finishing the set of moves, Yang Chen lifted the stone stele and nimbly erected it by his side without disturbing even a speck of dust. The enormous stone stele was like a straw in his hand.

When Gongsun Ling saw Yang Chen's actions, she couldn't help but burst out laughing again so much so that she couldn't stand properly. Gao Yue standing by her side, although wasn't so excessive as Gongsun Ling and still had her mouth closed but her both shoulders were trembling incessantly trying to control her laughter. Actually, the clothes on Yang Chen's body were too unsuitable, so regardless of how elegant his movements were, they only seemed like a monkey performing tricks.

"It certainly seems like your strength has increased."

Finally the two women stopped laughing, Gongsun Ling said still smiling:

"But didn't you say it wasn't so difficult?"

"Little Ling, Yang Chen's thinking is impossible for us."

Gao Yue standing by her side wasn't smiling anymore and pointed out to Gongsun Ling:

"Everything he had done until now isn't just him getting lucky!"

After all being in the JieDan stage, her judgement was much better compared to Gongsun Ling. She could see Yang Chen's ferociousness with one look.

Gongsun Ling was a clever person and she immediately understood what the words meant and was instantly stupefied, not daring to laugh anymore. Just by relying on power of physical body, he could easily swing around the enormous stele weighing more than thirty thousand catties. What kind of terrifying strength was this?

They had heard long ago that Yang Chen's physical strength was astonishing. Before he had began his cultivation, he had beaten Sun Haijing unconscious using Sun Haijing's own thousand catty talisman, but both women had never expected that the strength of Yang Chen's physical body would surprisingly reach this stage. Within an instant, even Gao Yue was also completely astonished.

That enormous stone stele weighing more than thirty thousand catties was like air in Yang Chen's hands, he could move it around so easily so presently how powerful was he exactly? Both women were already at a loss, is this still a human?

Presently Yang Chen was feeling a burst of happiness. With only first time cultivation, his physical body's strength had already surpassed thirty thousand catties. With just this cultivation outcome, he could have easily blocked the golden seal of that YuanYing stage expert from few years ago just by relying on his physical body.

What's more, this Huangjin Strongman Body Refining Technique not only increases the power of fleshly body, it also refines and tempers it and even the strength of the person will also be upgraded by a substantial degree. From inside to outside, from bones to skin, everything had experienced a complex transformation. As his fleshly body become increasingly more formidable, even his defensive power will also continue to increase.

Bones are the main pillar of support for the body, if he wants to his body to be able to support a weight of more than two hundred thousand catties, then his bones must certainly be able to support comparatively higher pressure. Even the muscles also followed the same reasoning.

Yang Chen knew that this moment was still too far, these were the results of first time cultivation that's all. As he continued to walk down this path, his body structure would undergo increasingly more transformations. In the future, he wouldn't even need to rely on defensive magic weapons. Just by relying on his physical body, he would be able to block the attacks of majority of magic weapons.

Huangjin Strongman's only weak point was his speed, but in this case, Yang Chen certainly didn't have that flaw. These strongmen couldn't use any other cultivation methods that's why they had relied on this method, but this wasn't the case for Yang Chen.

Moreover, Yang Chen also knew that as his cultivation of this Huangjin Strongman Cultivation Method continues to increase, his body will undergo more and more enormous transformations. His body certainly won't continue to have this body builder type structure, rather finally it would tend to become well proportioned as the cultivators prefered, but its formidable power won't be affected the least bit.

After ascending to the Heavenly Court, there wouldn't be great possibility to encounters opportunities to allow the body to undergo transformation, before one's cultivation reaches the rank of Great Principal Golden Immortal. Very rarely can someone reach the rank of Huangjin Strongman so his first choice was to create a formidable fleshly body right now.

Yang Chen had just began his cultivation in the mortal world and still had two opportunities to ascend, so undergoing body transformation depended on his willingness. Moreover, even a fool could see that when will he have higher achievement in this cultivation method, if he starts cultivating now when he had just began on the path of cultivation or if he starts cultivating this technique after ascending to Immortal World.

However, for the period of time, Yang Chen could only maintain this body build. At least, until Yang Chen had achieved great success in this Huangjin Strongman Body Refining Technique, after that his body would again undergo transformation. Regarding this, Yang Chen didn't care in the least whether cultivator's battle prowess has any relation with his body appearance?

His biggest problem right now were his clothes, every time they looked at him, both woman couldn't control their laughs. After they had enough fun on his expense, Gao Yue and Gongsun Ling didn't return back to train rather searched through their qiankun pouches to search for some demon beast's corpse to peel the skin and make clothes for Yang Chen.

Yang Chen had never expected to see the day when he would be calmly preparing tea by the side of his master and senior apprentice sister watching their lily white hands which were used for tool refining and creating spell formations, sewing clothes for himself. This warm sensation was on another level compared to instant he had received the Bright Ray Sword.

Even if both of them weren't skillful with their hands, but still their proficient control over their flying swords allowed them to easily control the sewing needles, furthermore with Gao Yue's achievements in tool refining, it only took the two women less than two days to create a leather pants and gown using the skins of demon beasts.

These clothes had not only been sewed but also undergone simple refining by Gao Yue. However, since these were just for temporary use by Yang Chen, they also haven't put much thought in making them.

But even then, Yang Chen excitedly picked them up and quickly rushed to the empty palace hall to try out the gown and pants. This time, since they were made in accordance to his present body appearance, so after adorning them, they were completely fit for him. What's more, since they had been sewed in front of him by his master and senior apprentice sister, he felt a cozy sensation after wearing them.

When he came out of the hall in front of Gao Yue and Gongsun Ling, a shine passed through their eyes on seeing Yang Chen wearing these clothes, even though both of them had been the ones who designed this outfit.

Gao Yue had specially designed the gown and pants in heroic style matching with Yang Chen's present valiant body. When Yang Chen wore them, the lining of his swelled muscles could be clearly seen on the outfit, simply like a living violent statue. The blatant sensation of power produced by stretching of muscles together with Yang Chen's strong presence was extremely bewitching.

Gongsun Ling's face turned red since these clothes didn't cover his entire body, the part of arm below the shoulders was exposed, which made him look wild. Even Gao Yue's face also turned red, her gaze remained fixated on the ground for a few moments, before she again dared to look back at Yang Chen.

"Many thanks master, many thanks senior apprentice sister!"

Yang Chen expressed his gratefulness to both women, however then he shamelessly puffed up his chest and said:

"The handiwork of master and senior apprentice sister seem pretty good, how do I look?"

"In the first glance, you seem like some hired thug of somewhere."

Gongsun Ling again made fun of him and laughed. When Gao Yue heard this, she also smiled gently. This one smile removed all the awkwardness in the atmosphere.

"Good, master and senior apprentice sister, in the future, the responsibility of being the hired thug of this cave would belong to me."

Yang Chen also made a joke, which again caused everyone to laugh.

Following this, Yang Chen asked them about the results of their training as well as their future plans. Gongsun Ling didn't have anything on her mind and was of the intent to continue training, but Gao Yue didn't want to do so.

"We must again make a trip back to the sect for now."

Gao Yue was senior most person among the three people and thus her words carried the most weight:

"Presently, Yang Chen is the most important disciple of the sect, so he couldn't disappear for long time. At least, we must let the sect know that you are safe. Otherwise, it will attract all sorts of troubles."

Yang Chen was presently one of the most important people in Pure Yang Palace. Everyone was well aware of this. If he traveled outside to gain experience for one or two years, that's not a problem, but if he remained outside for long time, that would be something the sect wouldn't allow. Gao Yue was aware of this fact. Yang Chen also understood.

"Then you both should continue to train for six more months, after six months, we will return back to the sect."

Yang Chen nodded his head agreeing with Gao Yue's intentions.

Both women also didn't waste any time and again stepped out of the safe zone and began to gain battle experience by fighting demon beasts and puppets. As for Yang Chen, he again immersed himself within the jade slips.

She Kui and Xie Sha also would come over to take a look from time to time, Yang Chen also notified them about their next plans during last visit. During these past two periods, he also didn't know about what happened at Hundred Thousand Mountains, so he also must visit there once he returned back.

After approximately five months, less than one month's time was left before he had to leave with Gao Yue and Gongsun Ling. At this time, Yang Chen who was immersed within the jade slips, and he suddenly discovered an abnormality in the Medicine Garden's clean bottle.

This legendary cave was full of spirit energy which Yang Chen had used long ago to fulfill the lack in his clean bottle and the clean bottle could absorb the spirit energy at all times, thus would always be full of spirit energy. But at this instant, Yang Chen suddenly discovered that the spirit energy in the clean bottle was rapidly depleting. Within a short while, nearly a quarter of its spirit energy had been used and this process was still continuing.

Being greatly alarmed, Yang Chen hastily controlled the clean bottle to crazily absorb spirit energy and simultaneously his spiritual awareness entered within the clean bottle to investigate the matter in detail which had caused this unexpected anomaly.

Once the spiritual awareness entered within the clean bottle, it experienced a huge resistance by the spirit energy. Yang Chen's spiritual awareness was unable to move forwards. Moreover this enormous resistance seemed to be coming from the place where he had put his Bright Ray Sword and Blood Phantom Vine Sword.

That should be his spirit per Yazi's location.
