Chapter 867: The Arrival of the Master of Elements

Zhang Huizhi's expression shifted slightly, and he bowed to the Universe Master:

"Many thanks for clearing up my confusion."

The Universe Master nodded:

"I accept this gesture.

I will arrange for my subordinates to design the latest research institutes and cultivation chambers for you, and I will also seek out research crystals unique to the Immortal Ancestors of my Universe Continent to resolve your doubts.

As for the path of formations, you are a Divine Venerable yourself, so there is no need for me to concern myself with it.

Regarding the path of True Intent, my Universe Clan has already prepared the best True Soul cultivation chamber for you.

The only thing lacking is the path of elements."

As the Universe Master spoke, Zhang Huizhi was about to open his mouth, but his expression changed slightly, and he looked toward a certain spot.

"Chen Yan, it has been a long time."

An ethereal woman's voice rang out.

Zhang Huizhi looked over; amidst the swirling clouds, a woman in an immortal dress moved lightly, the hem of her skirt dusted with fine cloud light, her steps appearing to tread on soft cotton as she slowly descended from the clouds.

The next moment, she appeared before Zhang Huizhi.

"Master of Elements," Zhang Huizhi said calmly.

The person who had arrived was none other than the woman in the immortal dress from within the Upper Ancient War Palace.

Zhang Huizhi pondered in his heart; if the Master of Elements had emerged, then the Master of Xia from within the Upper Ancient War Palace had likely come out as well.

The woman in the immortal dress looked at Zhang Huizhi and pursed her lips:

"I don't believe I've offended you much, yet you remain so cold to me when we meet."

The Master of Elements thought of something, then immediately said:

"It was not my request for you to fight to the death with Lu Jianxia; it was the rules of the Upper Ancient War Palace."

Zhang Huizhi sighed inwardly, knowing that the Master of Elements had come to impart the Dao to him, and he immediately bowed:

"Many thanks to you, Senior, for coming to assist."

"Hehe," the Master of Elements chuckled:

"No need for thanks; it was my father who asked me to come."

Zhang Huizhi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Xue Qi!

Chen Yan had long known that Xue Qi was still alive.

After all, during the time of the General Conferment, Xue Qi had once appeared.

"Many thanks!" Zhang Huizhi spoke again.

A smile finally appeared on the face of the woman in the immortal dress: "Come with me."

"I have one more thing I wish to ask," Zhang Huizhi said.

"What is it?" the Universe Master inquired.

"The Number One Divine Technique under Heaven."

As Zhang Huizhi's voice fell, the expressions of the Universe Master and the woman in the immortal dress shifted slightly.

The look in their eyes as they gazed at Chen Yan had changed.

"I never expected you to have reached this level."

The Universe Master sighed, his eyes full of shock.

It was clear that the Universe Master was also a Realm-Suppressing Unity, one of the top fifty powerhouses in the world recognized by the Divine Technique 【Unity】.

"But I do not know about this martial technique," the Universe Master immediately shook his head.

"I do know of it," the woman in the immortal dress said, speaking with some hesitation:

"This is a martial technique that existed before the founding of Great Xia; rumor has it that the person who created it was the Master of Thought Power."

After the woman in the immortal dress finished speaking, Zhang Huizhi's pupils constricted.

The Master of Elements looked at Zhang Huizhi calmly and said:

"I, too, once pursued the Number One Divine Technique, hearing that it contained the supreme essence of the Myriad Laws Returning to One.

It is just... difficult, difficult, difficult..."

The Master of Elements gave a bitter laugh.

Those who are Realm-Suppressing Unity all know that the two Realm-Suppressing Unity powerhouses ranked in the top two are, in fact, two ancient gods.

And 【Unity】 is only awarded to the strongest Realm-Suppressing Unity.

Zhang Huizhi fell silent.

Myriad Laws Returning to One.

Thinking of this, he felt a stir of emotion.

But he knew deeply that even though Chen Yan was now a Realm-Suppressing Unity, one of the top fifty powerhouses in the world,

the distance to the number one spot was as if blocked by a heavenly sea.

Is this the mystery contained within the Number One Divine Technique?

Soon after, he departed with the woman in the immortal dress.

Behind him came the voice of the Universe Master.

"Chen Yan, my body is entirely mechanical, how would I drink water?"

…………

At the same time.

Within the Evil Realm.

Sensing the situation over at Zhang Hui's side, Chen Yan's brow relaxed.

The arrival of the Lord of Elements took him by surprise.

But it was certainly for the better.

After all, the lectures of a Lord of Martial Dao are extremely precious.

Of course, with the exception of that one time during the college entrance examination secret realm when the Lord of Xia intervened.

The Lord of Xia wanted to directly interfere with Chen Yan's process of shaping the Path of Will, which already touched upon the foundation of Chen Yan's Martial Dao.

It must be said, with the assistance of the Yu Clan, Chen Yan's journey had indeed been much easier.

Regarding the two auxiliary Martial Dao aspects of True Intent and Elements, Zhang Huizhi would continue to cultivate them to their strongest.

The all-encompassing support from the Lord of Yu also caused Zhang Huizhi's strength to rise in every aspect.

Once the three newborn bodies merge with Chen Yan, this strength can be completely superimposed onto Chen Yan.

At that time, the strength of Chen Yan would be unimaginable.

Immediately following this, a strange feeling emerged in the depths of Chen Yan's heart.

Chen Yan furrowed his brows.

The connection to the world's number one divine technique, 【Unity】, had vanished.

Chen Yan had lost the title of Unity World-Suppressor.

Someone had surpassed Chen Yan and become the fiftieth strongest in the world.

Who was it?

Chen Yan did not know.

But Chen Yan did not care about such things.

On the contrary, Chen Yan had expectations for the approaching Great Tide.

During the Small Tide, Chen Yan had obtained four strands of Destruction Will by devouring four strands of Ancient God aura.

His strength in the Path of Will had greatly improved.

And that was only a Small Tide.

If there were more Ancient God aura within the Great Tide.

A golden light appeared in Chen Yan's eyes:

"Then can I, Chen Yan, slay a Supreme Ancient God Beast?"

…………

At the same time.

Yun Hai Dao Fu.

The vast Pure Land drifted within the endless Sea of Malice, its buildings towering within, permeating the cloud sea.

Tens of millions of human beings lived and grew here.

At the very center of the Dao Fu, inside a palace that resembled a fairyland.

Jade towers covered in auspicious snow, jade-like herbs winding around stone paths, spiritual springs murmuring and reflecting immortal shadows, the scent of orchids drifting in the mist.

"Hahahaha!!!"

A burst of loud laughter resounded.

"Lost and found, lost and found."

A figure in white, Mu Yun Hai, wove through the clouds and mist, soon appearing atop a pavilion.

The smile on his face gradually faded, and he soon opened his mouth slightly, silent words transforming into a stream of light that flew out.

Soon.

A figure wearing black clothes and a bronze mask appeared.

"Come, sit." Mu Yun Hai picked up the teapot on the stone table to pour water for him, asking casually while pouring:

"How much longer until that Chen Yan arrives?"

"Two days." The bronze-masked man flicked his finger, and the clear tea in the cup transformed into a tiny stream of water, flowing through the gap in the mask into his mouth.

"Oh." Mu Yun Hai spoke indifferently.

"A Supreme Ancient God Beast has issued an order; he must be killed," the bronze mask said.

"They need Chen Yan's location; will you give it or not?"

"What do you think?" Mu Yun Hai sat down and picked up a cup of tea, holding it to his lips, but he did not drink it.

"Are you going to harbor Chen Yan?" The bronze mask became interested.

"Xuan Yi has specifically named you; if you harbor Chen Yan, he will be the first to move against you."

Mu Yun Hai chuckled:

"As if, if I let Chen Yan go, he would let me go."

"That Chen Yan is a great help, you know."

The bronze mask sneered:

"Aren't you afraid your ruse will be seen through by Chen Yan?"

"Xuan Yi has already seen through it; it was you who let the Supreme Ancient God Beast go find Xuan Yi, which is why Xuan Yi went to threaten Chen Yan."

Mu Yun Hai's expression gradually changed:

"Is my acting not good?"

"This isn't a question of acting or not; the struggle for the Emperor Fruit is getting closer, and if you are anxious now, you will reveal flaws," the bronze man said.

Mu Yun Hai sighed lightly:

"No matter, Xuan Yi is merely guessing."

"Now that he is forcing me not to be on good terms with Chen Yan, yet I insist on being on good terms with Chen Yan, wouldn't this move Chen Yan?"
