Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

Page 342

Moreover, she had already sent people into the Daoist Scripture Pavilion more than once to seek the opportunity to obtain the immortal golden body; this operation was already second nature to her.

Upon hearing Mandala's words, Mu Chen and Garuda were both shocked and became somewhat nervous.

All that hardship and training they endured was for this very moment.

As long as one can inherit the Immortal Golden Body, there will surely be a place for them in this vast world in the future! Compared to Garuda's simple pursuit of strength, Mu Chen also bears the responsibility of rescuing his mother and reuniting his family, so he has a more persistent determination than Garuda!

Not long after Mandala's voice faded, Mu Chen and his companion saw ripples spreading across the void in front of them.

It was as if ancient chants were coming from the void, causing space to distort. Within that void, there seemed to be an extremely ancient and mysterious dark blue pavilion appearing in the untouchable void.

As Mu Chen gazed at the mysterious pavilion in the void, his heart began to pound violently.

He could sense that the mysterious pavilion was watching him as if it possessed sentience, but he was not afraid and continued to stare at it with a firm expression.

In the silent world, the two stared at each other for nearly a few minutes. Then, the mysterious pavilion trembled slightly, and Mu Chen heard an old voice faintly approaching.

"A person with a firm mind and unwavering self-confidence is eligible to enter the library."

Mu Chen's eyes narrowed sharply. The aged voice actually came from the Scripture Pavilion.

The spiritual intelligence of this library has actually reached this level? This is far beyond what ordinary sacred objects can compare to!

Hey.

Just as Mu Chen was in shock, the Sutra Repository in the void rippled slightly, and azure light gathered, eventually transforming into a series of blue stone steps that stretched across the void until they reached Mu Chen's front.

Clearly, walking up these bluestone steps will lead you to the mysterious library!

Just as Mu Chen was excitedly preparing to step onto the stone steps, he saw that Garuda beside him also had the same set of steps in front of her...

This scene instantly cooled Mu Chen's burning heart.

He is only one step closer to his goal now. There are still many challenges ahead to achieve success, and the person next to him will be his biggest enemy on the road to success. So now is not the time for him to be happy!

Thinking of this, Mu Chen took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

With his mind at peace, he bowed respectfully to the scripture pavilion in the void, and without further hesitation, stepped forward and ascended the bluestone steps.

】

Mu Chen climbed the steps one by one, and with each step he took, the stone steps behind him would disappear into thin air.

This scene also happened to Garuda...

After the two of them climbed the stairs and entered the library space, the mandala outside let out a soft sigh.

"I hope this time won't disappoint me again..."

After saying that, she took a step and left the spot.

Outsiders have no way to interfere with the trials of Lin Dong and Garuda; everything depends on their strength and luck.

After the two were taken away by the mandala, on the other side of the Milky Way, beams of light rose continuously, making the sky incredibly lively.

Someone has successfully initiated the Heavenly River Baptism...

Meanwhile, above the Milky Way, Ye Zier watched the scene below with great interest. Seeing the many disciples who had become stronger after being baptized by the Milky Way, she was very happy.

Because there are many disciples of her Thunder God Palace here, after these people return to the Thunder God Palace after being baptized by the Heavenly River, it will greatly enhance the strength of the Thunder God Palace.

Although both are forces under the Wanhua Star Palace, the Thunder God Palace also inherited the legacy of the ancient Thunder Palace. Ye Zier naturally did not want it to become weaker than others for no reason while in her hands.

Unfortunately, the ancient Thunder Palace was destroyed too thoroughly, leaving only its legacy. Many resources and spiritual sites were destroyed, making it far inferior to the ancient Heavenly Palace in this respect.

Beside Ye Zier stood a woman in a white dress, elegant and serene. The woman possessed an extremely beautiful face, vaguely resembling Lin Jing. Her hair was tied up, and her cool and aloof temperament was stunning.

This is naturally Ling Qingzhu, one of the two matriarchs of the Martial Realm, and also Lin Jing's birth mother.

This time, their daughter's unauthorized outing could not escape the eyes of her parents, but Lin Dong also wanted his daughter to go out and broaden her horizons, so he did not stop her.

However, no sooner had Lin Jing stepped out of the Martial Realm than Ling Qingzhu followed right behind.

"Aunt Ling, you didn't come here to take Lin Jing back, did you? I heard from the girl that Uncle Lin is very strict with her, saying he's going to put her in solitary confinement."

Although Zi'er is now far stronger than Ling Qingzhu, who has not yet broken through to the Heavenly Sovereign level, as Lin Dong's wife, and someone of the same generation as her parents, Zi'er naturally still has to maintain respect for her.

Ling Qingzhu smiled gently and said, "This girl really needs to be taught a lesson. She's always causing trouble. It's not enough at home, she has to come out here. If we hadn't come to Tianluo Continent this time, I would have taken her back long ago."

"However, I still have to thank you, Zi'er, for allowing this girl to undergo the Heavenly River Baptism, which has greatly helped improve her strength."

Ye Zier waved her hand and said in a bossy manner, "What's this? Lin Jing is a member of my sisterhood, so of course we should help each other!"

Ling Qingzhu couldn't help but chuckle softly, and then asked, "Then I wonder who else is in your group of girlfriends?"

Ye Zier chuckled: "My group of girlfriends is quite large..."

"Now there's Sister Mandala, my younger brother's wife Qingxuan, and then there's me and Lin Jing..."

“Qingxuan…” Ling Qingzhu murmured the name.

Ling Qingzhu might not have known this name before, but since the other party got together with Ye Qiu and became the future young master's wife of the Wanhua Star Palace, her status and identity have changed immediately.

"Hehe, so in that case, Zi'er, isn't Jing'er the weakest among your group of sisters?"

Of the four members of the sisterhood, three are Heavenly Sovereigns, while Lin Jing is not even an Earthly Sovereign yet. The gap is quite large.

"It's just that Lin Jing is still young. Perhaps in less than ten years, she will be able to break through to the Heavenly Sovereign realm!"

This was no accident. Ye Zier was well aware of the power of the Martial Realm and the terror of Uncle Lin, who was a super strongman who was in no way inferior to her father. With such a powerful father as a backer, Lin Jing's cultivation improvement would be slow even if he wanted to.

Ling Qingzhu simply smiled and did not refute, clearly indicating that she also believed in her daughter and husband.

While all of this was happening in the ancient Heavenly Palace, in the Burning Heaven Continent, in the Burning Heaven City.

In Ye Chen's courtyard, a special guest is visiting...

"Brother Ye, it's been a few years since we last met, and your strength has improved even more. It's truly enviable." Lin Dong couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart as he sensed the ethereal aura emanating from Ye Qiu.

Unfortunately, since breaking through to the late stage of Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme, Lin Dong has felt that his strength has stagnated. If he wants to gain anything more, he can only rely on the accumulation of time to increase his exploration of this world.

Ye Chen chuckled softly, pushed a cup of tea in front of Lin Dong, and said, "Brother Lin, you flatter me. I've only taken a step ahead in the exploration. Given enough time, this shouldn't be difficult..."

Lin Dong nodded. He was confident in himself, but seeing Ye Chen walking ahead gave him a strange sense of urgency.

"Brother Lin, I heard that you cultivated the art of runes back in the Xuan Tian Realm?"

Lin Dong didn't try to hide anything from them. After all, at their current level, everyone would have their own path, just like Ye Chen gave up the inheritance of the ancient Heavenly Emperor...

A strong person, if they don't even have this much self-confidence, then they have no right to talk about pursuing the pinnacle of the world.

"Indeed, the essence of runes lies in the different rules of this world, and also in the most primordial power that was condensed at the beginning of the universe..."

Lin Dong explained the essence of the Ancestral Symbol he had mastered without reservation, preparing to have an in-depth discussion with Ye Chen, hoping that this might help him break out of his current predicament.

Ye Chen naturally shared his indirect knowledge with everyone, and also explained the two powers he possessed—destruction and immortality—that were beyond the rules of the elements.

Finally, Ye Chen added a special reminder: "Brother Lin, no matter which of the eight types of rule energy you have mastered, they are all closest to the essence of this world. With the help of these powers, perhaps you can discover the true face of this world. At that time, your current predicament will no longer exist..."

Chapter 645 The Divine Sword Has a Spirit

Lin Dong left, but Ye Chen remained as carefree as ever.

However, the latter knew very well that perhaps before long, this great world would have another powerful figure comparable to the former immortal emperor.

With the two of them present, how could the Heavenly Evil God possibly break free of its seal? Ye Chen felt he should give up on pursuing the Sovereign Realm and just take his wife and children to hide in his own star field space...

Meanwhile, the mandala within the ancient heavenly palace finally received the result she needed, but this result gave her a bit of a headache.

If Mandala had been disappointed for the past few decades because no one could cultivate an immortal golden body, then now she was facing the most delightful trouble.

Because two immortal golden bodies, which had not been cultivated in the previous decades, have suddenly appeared!

Gazing upon the two terrifying, immortal golden bodies before her, one crimson and one gold, Mandala found herself utterly at a loss for what to choose…

Of course, this is something that these two little guys in front of me can't possibly discover.

"Very good. I didn't expect that you two would both have achieved the Immortal Golden Body. In that case, you will surely have a place in the future, whether it is the Tianluo Continent, the Myriad Transformations Star Palace, or even the Great Thousand World!"

Regardless, words of encouragement should be offered first.

The same Dharma body can manifest differently depending on who cultivates it. For example, Garuda and Mu Chen have different spiritual attributes, so their appearances are quite different.

The Great Sun Undying Body is a very powerful and rare Dharma Body. Even within the Myriad Transformations Star Palace, there are not many cultivators who possess it. As for the Immortal Golden Body, currently, there are only these two in front of us.

Of course, this does not mean that Mu Chen and his companion are the only ones in the entire Great Thousand World who possess the Immortal Golden Body. At the very least, within the Maha Ancient Clan, there are definitely quite a few people who have cultivated the Great Sun Undying Body and the Immortal Golden Body!

After all, as the guardians of the Eternal Immortal Body entrusted by the Immortal Emperor, the Maha Ancient Clan possesses the complete cultivation methods for the Great Sun Undying Body and the Immortal Golden Body. For tens of thousands of years, their greatest hope has been that a member of their clan can gain the recognition of the Eternal Immortal Body.

Although, according to the will left by the Immortal Emperor, anyone who cultivates the Immortal Golden Body to its fullest potential is qualified to compete for the title of Eternal Immortal Body, over the years, countless competitors have been suppressed or even killed by the Maha Ancient Clan, both openly and secretly…

In particular, the Maha Ancient Clan is very good at nipping danger in the bud, so if the outside world knew that Mu Chen and Mu Chen had both cultivated the Immortal Golden Body, it would be hard to say whether it would be a blessing or a curse for them.

Of course, none of this matters for now!

For Mandala right now, the most important thing is actually who she should choose as the successor to the Heavenly Emperor...

This perplexing problem was not resolved until Ye Zi'er arrived...

"Why should you choose? Shouldn't the Heavenly Emperor himself make the choice?"

The phrase "a single word can awaken a person from a dream" perfectly describes Ye Zier's current state. These words directly brought Mandala, who was trapped in a dead end, back to her senses.

The inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor is something that only the Heavenly Emperor himself can decide. Even Ye Chen back then did not choose to interfere. She has been busy with this matter all these years, and the Heavenly Emperor's last remaining true spirit has been sleeping in the Heavenly Emperor Sword. So, indirectly, she forgot about such a simple matter.

Seeing that Mandala had come to her senses and was about to lead the two of them to find the Heavenly Emperor Sword, Ye Zier immediately grabbed her little hand and said mysteriously, "Hehe, Sister Mandala, there can only be one successor of the Heavenly Emperor. What are you going to do with the other one?"

Upon hearing this, Mandala raised an eyebrow and immediately realized what the girl was up to.

To be honest, the two people in front of her at this moment, whether it was Mu Chen or Garuda, were both exceptionally talented geniuses.

Moreover, since both of them have gained the recognition of the Treasure Pavilion and cultivated immortal golden bodies, they will surely become renowned super powerhouses in the future, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Even Mandala would be reluctant to let go of such talents…

However, she knew very well that she could only choose one of the two immortal golden bodies. Otherwise, even if she wanted to keep the other one by force, it probably wouldn't end well. It would be better to find a way out for him as well.

And right now, the Thunder God Palace, which is short-staffed, would be a good choice...

Finally, after pondering for a long time, Mandala said to Ye Zier, "How about this? If the Heavenly Emperor chooses one of them as his successor, then the other one can belong to your Thunder God Palace. Of course, the premise is that the other party is willing. Otherwise, if their own wish is to stay in the Ancient Heavenly Palace, or if they want to go to the Burning Heaven Continent, then you can't force them to stay..."

"make a deal!"

Ye Zier immediately exclaimed with delight, her expression seemingly as if she feared Mandala might change her mind.

Mandala could only shake her head and chuckle at this, before leading the two into the Heavenly Emperor's Garden, the deepest part of the ancient Heavenly Palace.

Here, a crystal-clear longsword rests quietly in a blue stone, patiently awaiting the arrival of its new master.

The next moment, four streaks of light shattered everything, and then four figures appeared in the garden, standing beside the crystal-clear longsword.

"This is the Heavenly Emperor Sword, a peerless sacred artifact sword once worn by the ancient Heavenly Emperor, and also the weapon the Heavenly Emperor used to slay the Heavenly Demon..."

Ignoring the burning gazes of the two young generals, Mandala continued, "The divine sword possesses a spirit; only its true master can easily pull it from this blue stone. Therefore, you two are now qualified to be the ones to pull it out..."

Upon hearing this, both Mu Chen and Garuda began to breathe slightly rapidly.

Unfortunately, there is only one Heavenly Emperor Sword, so the two of them are destined to become rivals again, and the struggle will continue...

Thinking of this, the two of them almost simultaneously recalled the struggle they had fought inside the treasure pavilion, a struggle that had truly required them to use all their skills and even nearly cost them their lives!

However, even so, faced with the temptation of the Heavenly Emperor Sword, I doubt anyone would be willing to give it up.

The two are already too familiar with each other's methods; if they were to fight again, it would probably take a while.

It's difficult to determine a winner.

Seeing this, the two elders opposite shook their heads speechlessly, feeling that these two guys had developed a phobia of fighting. As soon as the topic of choice came up, they wanted to argue and fight. They hadn't understood the meaning behind Mandala's words.

The divine sword possesses a spirit and automatically chooses its master. In other words, everything depends on whether they can awaken the sleeping true spirit of the Heavenly Emperor within the Heavenly Emperor Sword, and whether they can be favored by the Heavenly Emperor. This is the true meaning of the divine sword possessing a spirit.

Seeing that the two looked like they were about to fight again, Zi'er quickly stepped forward and took out a long, narrow battle blade enveloped in golden flames...

As soon as the blade was drawn, Mu Chen and Garuda below instantly abandoned each other and looked over in horror.

Because, the moment the golden flame battle blade appeared, its terrifying aura of destruction forced the two to move away. Moreover, they discovered that as the golden flames continued to flicker, the space around the battle blade shattered and then burned under its terrifying power...

The golden flames on this battle blade can even ignite the space itself—what terrifying thing is this?!

"Ahem, well, you two are currently the strongest geniuses in my Myriad Transformations Star Palace. Now that you have passed the test and obtained the Immortal Golden Body, there will naturally be a reward..."

"The Emperor of Mandala has already mentioned the rewards. I happen to have a Heaven-Burning Blade with me right now, which is also a peerless sacred artifact. Consider it a reward for you as well."

"However, as I mentioned before, divine objects possess spirits, let alone peerless sacred artifacts. So whether you can gain the approval of this sword and blade depends on your luck..."

"Now, you may choose to come and collect your swords!"

Zi'er was clearly prepared for this. He had specifically asked his father for the Burning Heaven Blade. Although it was not as powerful as the Blade of Heaven and Earth, it contained a peerless divine power that could be used in conjunction with the Blade of Heaven. It was a very thoughtful gesture.
