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

Page 321

"Teacher, I've come here to ask you to leave with me. I plan to rebuild a Pill Tower on the Burning Heaven Continent, and I'll need your help to manage it in the future."

Finally, Ye Chen revealed his purpose.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Kongzi was immediately tempted. After thinking about it, he realized that the Pill Tower was steadily improving, and it wouldn't make much difference whether an old guy like him was there or not. So he readily agreed.

Upon seeing this, the others immediately became restless, looking as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

Ye Chen naturally knew what they were thinking, and since he was currently short of manpower, he smiled and said, "Of course, anyone willing to come with me to the Great Thousand Worlds is welcome, as long as it doesn't affect the stability of the Pill Tower. After all, this is our root..."

Chapter 616 Recent Developments of the Myriad Transformations Star Palace

After meeting with everyone from the Pill Tower, Ye Chen then met Xiao Yan, who should have been the protagonist of this world.

It's no wonder he was once the protagonist. Even without the protagonist's halo, his cultivation has increased dramatically over the years. Now he is on par with the Pill Tower Ancestor and Gu Yuan, becoming one of the only three half-emperors in the Dou Qi Continent.

The Xiao Clan, which had originally perished, regained its former glory under Xiao Yan's leadership, becoming the third largest power after the Pill Tower and the Ancient Clan, far surpassing the greatly weakened Lei Clan and Yan Clan.

Moreover, due to the departure of Ye Chen and Shennong, the Medicine Clan perished, and Xiao Yan has now taken the title of the number one alchemist on the continent. If it weren't for the fact that the Xiao Clan had no other powerful alchemists besides Xiao Yan and Shennong, the Pill Tower might have already lost most of its influence to him.

"What a vast world! I never imagined it would be such a wonderful world!" Xiao Yan exclaimed, looking at the young man with an aura as deep as the ocean.

"Brother Ye, did you come down to the mortal realm this time to open up a passage from the Dou Qi plane to the Great Thousand World?"

Ye Chen nodded and said, "After all, the Burning Heaven Continent is territory that I just seized from the extraterrestrial evil race. It is sparsely populated, so I need to quickly fill it with people in order to cultivate more powerful individuals to guard the territory..."

Ye Chen did not intend to hide this from everyone.

"Extraterrestrial evil race..."

Xiao Yan, Yao Lao, Gu Xun'er, and the others recalled the great battle that had taken place on the continent. To this day, the battlefield remains the most dangerous forbidden area on the Dou Qi Continent, and terrifying ferocious beasts corrupted by demonic energy still occasionally appear there...

"No wonder all the Dou Di powerhouses from ancient times disappeared overnight. I never imagined it was to support the battlefield!" Yao Chen shook his head and sighed.

Xiao Yan said solemnly, "The existence of the Great Thousand World is like a protective umbrella for these countless lower planes. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken. If something happens to the Great Thousand World, then we lower planes will naturally perish under the invasion of the extraterrestrial evil races..."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan looked at Ye Chen and said in a deep voice, "Brother Ye, although I am not very talented, I still have the ambition to help the world and save people. When you leave this time, you must take me with you. I want to see just how powerful these extraterrestrial evil races really are!"

Xiao Yan has never lacked ambition and courage to get to where he is today, and since he has the opportunity to step onto a higher stage, he naturally will not refuse.

As for the extraterrestrial evil races, could they possibly pose a greater threat to me than the Soul Clan back then?

"Okay!" Ye Chen nodded with a smile.

However, upon seeing the worried expressions on Gu Xun'er and Yao Lao's faces, he spoke up again: "You don't need to think too much. Dealing with the extraterrestrial evil race is a common goal for everyone in the entire Great Thousand World. It cannot be accomplished by any one person or force."

As for the Burning Heaven Continent, with me and several Heavenly Sovereigns from the Myriad Transformations Star Palace guarding it, how could the extraterrestrial evil races so easily invade?

Gu Xun'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Xiao Yan gently patted his wife's hand, then continued to learn about the Great Thousand World from Ye Chen.

A month later, on a vast plain in the outer region of Saint Dan City, a massive stone gate stood on an endless, dark stone platform plaza.

Before the giant gate, countless figures gathered, numbering as many as 100,000!

Half of these people were alchemists belonging to the Pill Tower, and they were all exceptionally talented young alchemy geniuses...

These people will be the foundation of the Pill Tower of the Burning Heaven Continent, and also the source of Ye Chen's confidence in building the Burning Heaven Continent into the third largest alchemy force in the Great Thousand World.

Besides, the remaining half included members of the Xiao Clan and the Ancient Clan led by Xiao Yan, as well as the remaining members of the Lei Clan, Yan Clan, and Yao Clan. They were all attracted by the higher levels of cultivation in the Great Thousand World and wanted to revive the glory of their races in the new world.

Regardless of their motives, they will eventually become part of the Burning Heaven Continent, so Ye Chen welcomes all who come to follow him.

After all, the area of ​​a continent is simply too vast. Tianluo Continent is somewhat better off, as it already possesses countless powerful local forces. After the rise of Wanhua Star Palace, these forces flocked to it and became tools for Wanhua Star Palace to rule the continent.

However, the Burning Heaven Continent did not have this advantage, so Ye Chen could only resort to this method.

To this end, Ye Chen specially built a spirit conversion array on the Burning Heaven Continent, in order to help these people from the Dou Qi Continent to convert Dou Qi into spiritual power faster and more safely...

After doing all this and entrusting everyone to his grandfather Ye Zhong's care, Ye Chen headed to Tianluo Continent.

……

……

Tianluo Continent, Tianluo City.

This place has now become the headquarters of the Myriad Transformations Star Palace, and it is still managed by Zhu Kun...

It has to be said that Ye Chen has played an extremely important role in his relationship with his two parents-in-law. One of them is now acting as his double agent in the extraterrestrial evil race, and the other has been working diligently to manage his family business for many years. Is there any better parent-in-law in the world?

Inside the Starry Sky Hall, Zhu Kun, who was handling sect affairs, heard a whooshing sound. Then, a streak of light quickly arrived beside him and revealed its form.

"Father-in-law, how has the Star Palace been these past few days?" Ye Chen first bowed, then asked Zhu Kun with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Kun gave him an annoyed look. Recently, the affairs of the Myriad Transformations Star Palace have been extremely heavy. Although Cai Die and Zi Yan are in charge, the two women do not get involved in the specific matters, which means that all the work has fallen on his shoulders.

“Recently, all the top-tier forces on the Tianluo Continent have come to Tianluo City to pay their respects. However, the specific decision on how to handle this matter still needs to be made by you, the Palace Master,” Zhu Kun said.

Ye Chen nodded.

"In addition, the number of powerful individuals coming to join our Myriad Transformations Star Palace has increased significantly recently, and their quality is quite good. Currently, there are ten powerful individuals at the Great Perfection of Earthly Sovereign level under observation."

Earthly Sovereign level experts are the backbone of any super power, and Earthly Sovereign at the Great Perfection level is the mainstay of a super power...

If one day one can break through to the Heavenly Sovereign level, it will greatly enhance the foundation of one's own power.

"Let's conduct a thorough investigation and find out the details," Ye Chen said thoughtfully. Although experts of this level are important, it's still necessary to investigate them thoroughly, as there are many people in this world who will use all sorts of means to obtain cultivation resources.

"There are also the Lower Earthly Sovereign and Upper Earthly Sovereign realms; carefully select some loyal and promising young talents..."

The focus for the Myriad Transformations Star Palace now shifts to the first competition for the Chosen One of the Heavenly Luo Continent, and those qualified to compete...

Those who can win a spot must be people who have made contributions to the Star Palace and have sufficient talent and potential.

Zhu Kun nodded and said, "No problem. However, most of the promising young people are probably only at the lower level of Earthly Sovereign, and there are very few young people who can cultivate to the upper level of Earthly Sovereign..."

Ye Chen naturally understood this as well.

"What's the situation like in the Ancient Heavenly Palace? How many people have passed the Dragon Gate, and how many have become Golden Dragon Disciples?"

Zhu Kun glanced at Ye Chen speechlessly and couldn't help but say, "Do you think Golden Dragon disciples are as common as cabbages? Even among Golden Flood Dragon disciples, there are only ten now, plus three White Dragon disciples. There aren't a single Azure Dragon or Golden Dragon disciple!"

Ye Chen couldn't help but frown. He hadn't expected the younger generation of Tianluo Continent to be so incompetent, with not a single Golden Dragon disciple among them!

Zhu Kun saw through Ye Chen's thoughts at a glance, but he didn't think so.

Over the years, he had come to understand the vast world quite well. Not to mention Tianluo Continent, even among all the super powers today, apart from those ancient races and forces, each generation could only produce one or two Dragon Token disciples at most. It would take several generations to produce a Golden Dragon disciple, and all of them were cultivated as heirs. Naturally, they were far superior to the fragmented Tianluo Continent.

"Alright, these things can't be rushed, we'll just have to take it one step at a time," Ye Chen finally shook his head and said.

"In two years at most, the power of the Tianluo Continent will be fully gathered, and that will be the time for the battle for the Son of the Continent to begin. During this period, we need our father-in-law to discover more capable talents."

Zhu Kun couldn't help but roll her eyes, looking at Ye Chen with annoyance, "So what are you planning to do as the Palace Master?"

Ye Chen grinned, "I'm going to take Zi'er to try breaking through to the Heavenly Sovereign realm. After so much preparation, I'm sure she's getting impatient..."

Zhu Kun: "..."

What else can I say? For my granddaughter's sake, I should say nothing and just keep my head down and work hard!

……

……

Ancient Heavenly Palace

The surging Milky Way roared as Ye Chen appeared atop a nearby mountain peak. He glanced at a distant mountain, from which powerful spiritual energy was faintly emanating.

That was where Mandala secluded herself. After obtaining the remains of that ancient Mandala flower, she chose to go into seclusion to break through to the Heavenly Supreme Realm that she had longed for.

stop!

A whooshing sound came from behind, and Cai Die's exquisite figure appeared beside Ye Chen. She wore a fiery red snake-scale-like long dress that outlined her captivating curves, making her look sexy and exuding a passionate aura.

"It seems the ancient heavenly palace is almost fully restored. You must have worked hard." Ye Chen looked at the ancient heavenly palace, which had changed drastically, reached out and held Cai Die's jade-like slender hand, and said softly.

"It's all done by those people down below, what hardship do I have to endure..." Cai Die chuckled softly, leaning gently against Ye Chen's chest.

"What, have you finished with everything outside?"

Ye Chen chuckled and said, "With my father-in-law here, I don't need to worry about things outside. I'm here to pick up Zi'er. This girl has been preparing for a long time, and it's time for her to break through to the Heavenly Supreme Realm."

After hearing Ye Chen's previous sentence, Cai Die couldn't help but smile.

She had heard Zhu Kun angrily cursing Ye Chen for his hands-off management more than once. Whenever this happened, she and Zi Yan would take the opportunity to slip away to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Despite the two women being far stronger than Zhu Kun, as juniors, they could only appease and yield to the enraged elder...

“I see. It’s about time. But you can’t just focus on Zi’er. I’ve heard Qiu’er say more than once that she misses her father. You should see the child when you have time, so that she won’t harbor resentment in the future…”

It has to be said that Cai Die is much better than Ye Chen when it comes to being a parent!

"Oh, I had completely forgotten about that brat if you hadn't mentioned him..." Ye Chen said with a look of sudden realization, leaving Cai Die speechless.

Currently, Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin are in seclusion, while Cao Ying and Dan Chen are learning alchemy from Shennong, and Ye Xiaobao is being guided by Cai Die...

Supported by the rich spiritual energy of the ancient heavenly palace, although he is only ten years old, Ye Xiaobao has already condensed his divine soul and fused with the soul of a divine beast, the Nine Nether Heavenly Phoenix.

[Source Switching App]

This is a divine beast born from a phoenix egg obtained from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, which was then corrupted by the Void Devouring Flame Origin Fire Qi on the Myriad Fire Continent. Even in the Great Thousand World, it would be absolutely extraordinary.

According to Cai Die's calculations, Ye Xiaobao will likely break through to the Supreme Realm within three years, which is extraordinary even among those ancient races.

"I didn't expect this brat to have such good talent..." Ye Chen thought with a hint of delight. "This kid had a good affinity for star power from birth, so it's time to nurture him in that direction..."

After all, he was his own son, and in terms of affinity with star power, he was much stronger than Ye Xinyue, who was born later in life. Therefore, Ye Chen planned to let his son inherit his mantle.

Of course, the Immortal Star God Body is out of the question. This thing, like the five ancient Dharma Bodies, is unique. Unless he dies, his son can at most cultivate the Star Undying Body.

But that's enough!

"I'll make arrangements for Zi'er first, and then I'll go and teach Qiu'er. I'll stay in the Ancient Heavenly Palace for the time being..."

These words secretly pleased Cai Die, but on the surface she nodded calmly.

The Continent of Myriad Fires is located on the highest peak in the center of the continent.

Ye Chen and his daughter Ye Zi'er stood atop the mountain, overlooking the vast land stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles.

"Zi'er, in a moment your father will invoke the dimensional spirit of this continent to send you into the chaotic spiritual energy space. There, you will find it easier to get closer to the essence of this world and be guided to cross the barrier of the Heavenly Sovereign. How far you can go depends on yourself..."

Zi'er nodded firmly, full of confidence, and said, "Father, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!"

Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction, then with a thought, he directly communicated with the star chart within his soul, instantly gaining the authority to dominate this space...

Chapter 617 First Meeting with Lin Dong

When news spread that the Tianluo Continent was going to hold a selection battle for the Son of the Continent, not only were the major forces originally belonging to the Tianluo Continent in an uproar, but even some of the surrounding small and medium-sized continents were also agitated.

This is not an exaggeration at all...

For every Earthly Sovereign, the title of Son of the Continent possesses a fatal attraction.

Because in today's vast world, almost all of the six or seven out of ten newly promoted Heavenly Sovereigns have one thing in common: they all once had the same title.

Son of the Mainland!

Putting everything else aside, this alone is enough to drive countless Earthly Sovereigns mad. After all, the Heavenly Sovereign realm is the dream of countless super-strong individuals; as long as they can reach that level, they will become the true pinnacle of existence in the Great Thousand World.

This has led to the situation where, in today's vast world, as long as a supreme being occupies a sufficiently large continent and establishes a sect or government, countless forces will inevitably flock to him, attempting to submit to him.

The most important reason for this is to gain the qualification to compete for the title of Son of the Continent...

As one of the ten super continents in the Great Thousand World, Tianluo Continent has never been truly unified by any super power since the ancient Heavenly Palace. As a result, no Son of the Continent has been born for so many years, and many people have almost forgotten about it.

Now, the Myriad Transformations Star Palace has unified this super continent with great momentum and has announced that it will compete for the title of the Son of the Continent in two years. The impact of this is unimaginable.

Some powerful individuals, unwilling to be subservient to others, were even considering leaving Tianluo Continent altogether and finding a medium-sized continent to rule as kings...

Upon hearing this news, the powerful figures immediately abandoned any thoughts of leaving and rushed to Tianluo City to surrender, each striving to demonstrate their loyalty.

This caught Zhu Kun completely off guard, because there were too many people, including some powerful individuals. To prevent any accidents, he had no choice but to ask his son-in-law for help.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen, the hands-off manager, refused, citing the need to teach his son, and then dumped Zi Yan to take the fall.

Since the Thunder God Palace had chosen to join Zi'er's ranks early on, Ye Chen gave the Thunder God Palace a few spots to participate in order to win people's hearts. As a result, Zi Yan and Qin Zhan arrived in Tianluo City early and were recruited by Ye Chen.

Zi Yan was furious about this, so she stormed into the Ancient Heavenly Palace and challenged Ye Chen to a three-day duel before finally leaving satisfied.

Throughout this process, the colorful butterfly, who had originally stayed behind in the ancient heavenly palace, tried her best to remain invisible, and even made room for the two of them when Zi Yan challenged Ye Chen to a duel...

There was nothing she could do. Ye Chen had been staying with her all this time, so strictly speaking, she had been eating alone. Therefore, she shouldn't jump out and attract attention; she should just continue enjoying her feast in silence.
