What you said makes sense, but I am speechless.
This was the woman's true thought at that moment...
"Don't you think this behavior is too domineering?" the woman said, still somewhat angrily.
"Is it domineering? Maybe it is for those people, but it's better than losing my life, right? Besides, once my power is established, I'll still welcome people from all over the world..."
Once this place is completed, Ye Chen is hoping to provide elixirs to the entire Great Thousand World in exchange for resources...
】
"Hmph! I'm not leaving anyway!" the woman snorted, preparing to act like a liar.
Ye Chen chuckled, "I didn't say I was kicking you out... I'm just afraid that you little brat won't be able to leave even if you want to..."
He could tell that the woman in front of him was not very old and had a delicate air about her, so she must have come from a very distinguished background.
"May I ask your name, young lady, and where you come from? If you truly do not wish to leave, why not join my Myriad Transformations Star Palace? That way, you can stay on this Burning Heaven Continent as long as you wish!"
Ye Chen's words made the eyelids of everyone present jump.
The two brothers, Qingmo and Heimu, were thinking to themselves, "Is our master taking a fancy to that girl?"
If that's really the case, then those brothers are in trouble. Having offended the future matriarch, how can they expect to have a good outcome?
The woman opposite him also looked at Ye Chen with a wary expression, as if he were a pervert, and said, "What do you want? Let me tell you, although you are very strong, I will not submit to anyone just because I am threatened with force!"
"You're overthinking it!" Ye Chen said speechlessly, "I have a wife, and I have a daughter and a son."
"It's just that I saw that you were able to set up a Grandmaster-level spirit array, which makes you a rare talent, so I took a liking to you."
"Oh, is that so..." The woman seemed relieved, but for some reason, she felt a little annoyed.
/>
A love for talent? Is it because I'm not pretty enough for you to like me?
Of course, this thought was fleeting. The reason she insisted on staying on the Burning Heaven Continent was because there was something very important to do!
"My name is Qing Yanjing. As for my identity, I cannot tell you for the time being. However, it is impossible for me to join your ranks, and I can only apologize for that."
Ye Chen shook his head with some regret, "However, Qing Yanjing, that name sounds familiar..."
Suddenly, Ye Chen remembered.
Isn't that the name of Mu Chen's mother, the protagonist of The Great Ruler?
So this woman in front of him is from the Futu Ancient Clan, one of the five ancient clans? Moreover, Ye Chen vaguely remembered that Qing Yanjing was a genius of the Futu Ancient Clan, a talent that was rare to see in a thousand years. She possessed eight divine veins, and her father was the patriarch of the Futu Ancient Clan and the head of the Qing vein.
However, before the story even began, the patriarch of the Futu Ancient Clan perished for unknown reasons, and the Qing Clan began to decline under the suppression of the other two clans...
At this time, Qing Yanjing chose to go out and train, and she was gone for decades. Later, she got lost and came to the Hundred Spirits Continent. Due to unknown reasons, she was severely injured and became a temporary cripple. She was surrounded by many spirit beasts. When she was in despair, she was rescued by Mu Feng. Later, during her recovery, she fell in love with Mu Feng, got married and gave birth to a son named Mu Chen.
Judging from the current situation, the other party must have just left the Ancient Buddha Clan not long ago, right? Does this mean that the Ancient Buddha Clan has undergone a major change, with its patriarch mysteriously perishing?
This is not good news for the Ancient Buddha Clan, or even for the entire Great Thousand World. The patriarchs of the five ancient clans are at least late-stage Saint-level Heavenly Sovereigns, absolute pillars of the Great Thousand World. The loss of even one of them is a tremendous blow to the entire Great Thousand World.
When Qing Yanjing revealed her name, she saw that the Lord of the Myriad Transformations Star Palace was stunned after hearing her words. Her heart sank and she thought to herself: Could it be that he knows my name?
"You...know me?" Qing Yanjing asked hesitantly.
"I don't know you..." Ye Chen shook his head and denied it immediately. "But your surname seems unusual..."
Qing Yanjing immediately understood the meaning behind the other party's words. They had guessed her background... But this was not surprising, since a powerhouse of this level would certainly have some understanding of the existence of the Five Ancient Clans.
“That’s right, I come from the Ancient Buddha Clan, which is why I said before that I couldn’t join your Myriad Transformations Star Palace…” Qing Yanjing simply stopped trying to hide it.
The reason she came to the Burning Heaven Continent was actually to investigate the extraterrestrial evil race and see if her father's death was related to these demons.
In her view, how could someone as powerful as her father have perished for no reason?
In the entire world, there are probably very few people who could do all this...
As for whether it was done by the other two branches of the clan, she had her suspicions, but quickly dismissed them.
Firstly, the other party might not have that strength. Even the strongest elder, Fu Tu Xuan, is quite different from his father in strength.
Moreover, doing so would only greatly reduce the strength of the entire Futu Ancient Clan. Unless these people are mentally ill, they would never do such a thing.
After hearing Qing Yanjing's frank confession, Ye Chen suddenly seemed to understand and said, "So that's how it is. Miss Qing is actually a member of the Ancient Buddha Clan..."
"In that case, I was being a bit presumptuous. But I wonder what important matter brings Miss Qing to this Burning Heaven Continent? If it's convenient, you can tell me, and my Myriad Transformations Star Palace can lend you a hand."
Qingyan was somewhat tempted, but since it concerned her father, absolute secrecy was necessary. After hesitating for a long time, she shook her head and refused, saying, "Never mind, this is my own private matter. I won't trouble you, Palace Master Ye..."
Ye Chen did not insist on this.
Moreover, he had no improper intentions towards her, so he simply nodded and did not press the matter further, saying, "In that case, Miss Qing, please go ahead. My Myriad Transformations Star Palace will not disturb you any further, but I must remind you that this place is not safe. If you have finished your business, it would be best to leave as soon as possible..."
"Thank you for reminding me, I've got it." Qing Yanjing nodded, then glanced at Ye Chen and the others. Seeing that they didn't intend to stop her, she quickly left.
Ye Chen watched the other person's disappearing figure, feeling a mix of emotions.
If the plot doesn't change, then the other party's departure means that Mu Chen should be born in a few decades...
I wonder how my appearance will change Mu Chen's growth trajectory.
Anyway, if nothing unexpected happens, that kid will probably get involved with me again, since the Ancient Heavenly Palace is now in my hands.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen also thought of the Nine Nether Bird that led Mu Chen out of the Northern Cang Continent...
In the original story, Jiuyou arrived in the Great Luo Heaven Domain through the connection with the Heavenly Eagle Emperor. Later, she went out to advance on her own and met Mu Chen. It is unknown whether this little sparrow has come to the Northern Domain yet.
Pulling his wandering thoughts back, Ye Chen looked at Jing Lian beside him and said, "It's good that you're here, Jing Lian. I'm going to transfer the spatial nodes of the Dou Qi Continent to the Burning Heaven Continent, so you'll be staying here for the time being..."
To prevent a counterattack from the extraterrestrial evil races when he left, Ye Chen left Jinglian behind to oversee the situation and also handed over his Myriad Flames Exquisite Pagoda to her.
After all, Jinglian was originally a different kind of fire emperor, which was enough to unleash the full power of the Myriad Fire Exquisite Pagoda. As long as she did not encounter the Heavenly Demon Emperor, she could fight him.
The Pure Lotus Demon Flame had no objection to this and readily agreed.
After arriving on the Burning Heaven Continent, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame discovered that this continent was perfect for him. The fire-attribute berserk factors that outsiders regarded as monstrous floods were the best nourishment for him. If he cultivated here, he believed that his improvement speed would be several times greater than that of other continents!
More importantly, beneath that Burning Heaven Mountain, there exists a mysterious and powerful flame that even Ye Chen fears…
Although Ye Chen suppressed the opponent with his supreme power, a considerable amount of terrifying fire-attribute energy still escaped. This energy was no different from poison to even a Heavenly Sovereign, and even Ye Chen could only clean it up after it had accumulated too much.
But Jinglian discovered that she could absorb and refine this dissipated energy, and the effect was even better than that of the Supreme Spiritual Liquid!
Upon discovering this, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame immediately made Burning Heaven Mountain its training ground, and could also keep an eye on the great formation to see if the thing below was behaving itself—a win-win situation.
Chapter 613 Revisiting the Luo Shen Clan
Western Heaven Continent, Small Western Heaven Realm, Luoshen Clan.
During this period, Luoshen City was incredibly lively, becoming the focus of attention for countless Luoshen people. Countless Luoshen people came from that distant land and gathered around the city, their eyes filled with eager anticipation.
The Luo Shen clan has been having a tough time lately...
The Blood God Clan's aggressive tactics forced the clan to retreat step by step, and the clan leader, Luo Tianshen, even suffered a minor injury in the great battle with the Blood God Clan's clan leader, Xue Lingzi.
Although the injuries were said to be minor, they dealt a significant blow to the morale of the Luo Shen Clan.
Moreover, the Luo Shen Clan has always been at a disadvantage in the war, and they urgently need something to boost morale, and the Luo Shen Festival is just the right thing to do.
Of course, the main purpose of the Luoshen Festival was to determine the next emperor of the Luoshen clan...
The current candidate for the throne of the Luo Shen Clan is their young clan leader, Luo Xun, the only son of Luo Tian Shen.
Luo Xun is very talented. He has already reached the Ninth Grade Supreme Realm. He personally went to the front line in the battle against the Blood God Clan and made many contributions, saving many of his clansmen. His reputation is quite good.
Everyone hopes that the Luoshen Festival will allow this young clan leader to take another step forward, demonstrate his strength and potential, and give the clan more hope.
Outside the Luoshen Palace, the surging Luo River roars past. This is the confluence of the Luo Rivers, and the endless river seems to flow without end, possessing boundless vitality.
The Luoshen Festival will begin here.
Therefore, this area is now covered by a strict defense. Armies exuding a fierce aura guard both sides of the Luo River, and even in the sky, knights riding thunder cranes form a protective net. With such an impregnable defense, not even a fly can get in.
Looking out into the distance, one can see that on both sides of the Luo River, far from this area, a vast sea of people stretches to the horizon, creating a bustling atmosphere.
winter!
As countless people eagerly awaited their return, the ancient sound of a bell resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
stop!
The moment the bell rang, several streams of light shot out from within the Luoshen Palace, finally landing on a suspended platform above the Luo River.
"Pay homage to Our Emperor!"
Countless deafening sounds rang out simultaneously, echoing throughout the entire city of Luoshen, their fervent voices lingering for a long time.
Looking down at his fervent subjects, Luo Xun felt a surge of emotion welling up within him. He resolved to lead the entire Luo Shen Clan out of decline and restore their former glory in the Little Western Heaven Realm.
"My emperor!"
Behind Luo Xun, a tall figure knelt on one knee.
Luo Tianlong... a member of the Luo Shen royal family whose talent is no less than Luo Xun's. The two are also brothers who grew up together and shared life and death.
When Luo Xun became the emperor of the Luo Shen Clan, Luo Tianlong was ordered to take control of the entire Luo Shen Clan's army. The two cooperated tacitly and became the mainstay of the Luo Shen Clan in the battle against the Blood God Clan.
"Tianlong, there's a chance someone will try to cause trouble at this Luoshen Festival. We need to be careful," Luo Xun whispered to Luo Tianlong.
Luo Tianlong's expression was solemn, but his gaze was firm as he said, "Brother Luo Xun, rest assured, even if it costs me my life, I will not allow anyone to disturb this Luoshen Festival!"
"Hehe, you can't die." Luo Xun chuckled, his gaze deep as he looked at the excited Luo Shen people in the distance, and said calmly, "We swore an oath to work together to protect the entire Luo Shen clan!"
"Ok!"
Luo Tianlong nodded heavily, but in his heart, he had already made up his mind to die for the man in front of him!
In the distance, Luo Tianshen looked at his son on the high platform, his heart filled with joy.
Although the Luo Shen clan is currently in a somewhat unfavorable situation, he is fortunate that he has cultivated a good successor...
Once their successors have truly matured, the situation of the Luo Shen Clan will surely improve, and may even be reversed.
Behind Luo Tianshen were four Earthly Sovereign powerhouses. One of them, an old man with an unusually aged face, even more so than Luo Tianshen, was one of only two Earthly Sovereigns in the royal family. However, due to an injury he suffered in his early years, his lifespan was greatly reduced, and his strength was weakened to the extreme. He could only barely exert the strength of an Earthly Sovereign.
As for the remaining three, they belong to a branch of the royal family and are quite estranged from Luo Tianshen and other members of the royal family. However, due to the suppression of Luo Tianshen, a high-ranking Earthly Sovereign, these people are relatively obedient and do not dare to disobey the orders of the royal family.
However, a few days ago, Luo Tianshen was tricked by Xue Lingzi in the battle. Although he said to the outside world that it was nothing serious, Luo Tianshen knew very well that the injury would have a lasting impact on him, and that the impact would become greater and greater over time.
One day, the effects of this injury will become so great that he will be unable to hide it. If a new Earthly Sovereign is not born in the royal family by then, it will be hard to guarantee that these people will not have other ideas.
This is also the main reason why Luo Tianshen is now so eager to help her son grow up quickly.
"Xun'er, let's begin..."
After Luo Xun had arranged everything, Luo Tianshen said softly.
Luo Xun took a deep breath and nodded.
A rich spiritual light appeared on the white jade platform beneath his feet, eventually forming a white jade lotus platform...
Luo Xun sat cross-legged on the lotus platform, lightly biting the tip of his tongue, and immediately spat out a mouthful of crimson blood essence, which fell directly into the rolling Luo River below.
boom!
As the essence blood merged into the Luo River, this section of the river instantly turned blood red, with giant waves surging and countless dark red light spots rising from the river, eventually drifting down onto Luo Xun's body.
The Luo River was formed when the ancestor of the Luo Goddess Clan, Luo Shen, perished in ancient times. Legend has it that it contains the power of Luo Shen, but only the purest royal bloodline of the Luo Goddess Clan can activate this power.
When Luo Xun's essence blood fell into the river, countless bubbles immediately appeared on the surface of the water. After these bubbles burst, a stream of pure energy overflowed and merged into Luo Xun's body.
The Goddess of Luo watched all this from the side. Compared to previous Goddess of Luo festivals, the power of the Goddess of Luo generated in the Luo River this time was obviously more concentrated and pure.
But this isn't perfect yet...
During the Luoshen Festival, various unusual phenomena will appear depending on the purity of one's bloodline, but the most pure phenomenon is said to be the Luoshen flower!
But all these years have passed, and the hibiscus flower has never bloomed in the Luo River...
& nb
Bear!
After the power of the Goddess of the Luo River merged into Luo Xun's body, blood-red flames burned fiercely around him. As the flames grew stronger, increasingly powerful spiritual energy fluctuations began to emanate from Luo Xun's body, which was covered by the flames.
That level of spiritual power was already climbing towards the Great Perfection of the Ninth Grade Supreme.
Seeing this, a smile finally appeared on Luo Tianshen's face, but just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly, the sky above the entire Luoshen City began to change drastically...
The once azure sky turned crimson at a visible speed, then surged and swept across the land like a blood-red wave, appearing in the world within a few breaths.
