Chapter 288: The Bond Between Xuanji Holy Lord and Ji Fuyou!

I'm leaving.

At that moment, Xuanji Holy Lord gently turned her snow-white neck toward Ye Chen; beneath her crystalline white hair, only a flawless side profile was revealed, like a mutton-fat jade statue, absolutely beautiful and flawless, presenting a perfect curve.

Ye Chen started slightly, then bowed respectfully, saying, "Senior, are you the mighty one who saved me in the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone back then?"

Xuanji Holy Lord merely nodded lightly, but said nothing.

Suddenly, the world became utterly silent.

Yao Yan then flew out from the jade pendant on Ye Chen's chest, bowing in gratitude to Xuanji Holy Lord, "Thank you, Xuanji Holy Lord; my Yao family is deeply grateful."

Xuanji Holy Lord remained silent, showing no expression.

Back then, she saved Ye Chen because she sensed a trace of karmic power.

Karmic power is formless and traceless, impossible to speak of.

That is another kind of power that transcends the Imperial Realm.

Encountering Ye Chen here again is also a matter of karma.

Thinking of this, her snow-white jade hand extended; a scallion-like jade finger glowed with divine radiance, and in an instant, a strand of Divine Light burst forth like a galaxy, surging toward Ye Chen and flowing over his body.

Ye Chen was slightly astonished, "What power is this?"

He only felt a warm comfort over his body, like a baptism of sunlight, extremely pleasant.

Xuanji Holy Lord was probing Ye Chen's body; she was astonished that his inner world contained so many Dao Resonances, even more than a Low Star Great Emperor, and his inner world still held unrefined Dao Resonance power.

She had also heard of Ye Chen's master, the White Robe Great Emperor.

In the Imperial Realm region this time, she also heard some rumors about Lu Xuan and Chen Zhangsheng.

She speculated that this Lu Xuan might actually be the same person as the White Robe Great Emperor.

The White Robe Great Emperor doted on Ye Chen too much; those heavenly-earth marvels he had Ye Chen consume were all treasures capable of stirring up bloody storms in Nan Huang.

Yet the White Robe Great Emperor was not stingy in giving them to Ye Chen.

Over the ages, Xuanji Holy Lord has witnessed too much "evil"; she has seen all kinds of wickedness in the world.

Thus she does not hesitate to judge others by assuming the utmost evil.

In ancient times, there were countless examples where masters used disciples as furnaces or cultivated them with Dao fruits, eventually devouring them.

That is why she conducted this probe.

After a moment, that Divine Light vanished from Ye Chen's body.

Xuanji Holy Lord gained nothing, yet she still did not let down her guard against Lu Xuan.

Ye Chen curiously asked, "Senior, have the strange and unknown powers within you dissipated?"

A hint of gloom appeared in Xuanji Holy Lord's eyes, and she uttered only two words.

"Never!"

These are the two most powerful forbidden forces in the world!

Being able to suppress them this time using the Ancient Great Medicine is already no easy feat.

To completely eradicate them is unlikely.

Over the ages, the two forbidden powers have long been indistinguishable from Xuanji Holy Lord herself, and she continually tries to figure out how to utilize them.

Forbidden power can kill, and it can also become her peculiarity.

Unfortunately, the heavenly dao of this world does not allow such power to exist, so her gains are minuscule.

Now the two forbidden powers within her have been suppressed; the urgent priority is to step into the region above the Imperial Realm to seek opportunities on the Supreme Path.

In this life, she will contend for the Supreme Fruit!

There is no other way to go!

If she succeeds, she succeeds; if she fails, she will be annihilated.

At this moment.

Ye Chen said with some concern, "Senior, I can take you to meet my master; these strange and unknown powers, my master can wipe them out with a casual flick!"

Upon hearing this, Xuanji Holy Lord's eyes flickered, but soon dimmed again.

She knew that, in Ye Chen's heart, Lu Xuan might be omnipotent.

But she has her own Dao!

Thinking of this,

Xuanji Holy Lord slightly shook her head, gazing toward the distant void.

Ye Chen was slightly surprised; he could see that Xuanji Holy Lord might not believe his words, so he continued, "Senior, my master comes from the River of Time, transcends reincarnation, is the Lord of the Vast Star River, and even needs to look up to my master. He has long been invincible in the starry sky and invincible in the River of Time!"

Ye Chen spoke with passionate fervor, saliva flying.

But Xuanji Holy Lord was unmoved.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing.

But Xuanji Holy Lord, having experienced countless ages, has long known that seeing is not necessarily real.

She does not believe it.

After a moment, a jade slip appeared on her jade palm.

"Whoosh!"

The jade slip flew toward Ye Chen.

These are the markers she made while searching for the Ancient Great Medicine in the Imperial Realm region these past days, having visited many places; they nearly cover all the territories of this Imperial Realm region.

Some places still hold untapped opportunities, even opportunities of Nine-Star Imperial Rank.

But to her, they are merely optional existences.

Among them, several places are very suitable for Ye Chen's cultivation.

Ye Chen probed with his divine sense and immediately saw an enormous Spiritual Power Map.

He exclaimed, "Is this the map of the Imperial Realm region?"

It is so vast and boundless, as wide as over a hundred great provinces!

It is far larger than the regions beneath the Imperial Realm!

Indeed, as expected of an ancient supreme artifact, the Bronze Ancient Hall!

Then, Ye Chen saw several markers; the extraterritorial legacies here have not been taken, one is called "Yanwu Sect, branch."

Yanwu Sect is a sect that cultivates the Way of Spiritual Fire and dual cultivates martial arts!

Ye Chen felt somewhat excited; this legacy is almost tailor-made for him and Senior Sister!

There is also one called "Panshi Sect, branch!"

There is also one named "Qianhuan Sect, branch!"

Ye Chen continued to examine and discovered another ancient sword sect, the "Heavenly Sword Sect, branch!"

His eyes flashed with divine radiance; after Luo Lingkong, Fang Yan, and Liu Xuan enter the Imperial Realm region, he can let them go to these extraterritorial legacies!

A moment of silence.

Ye Chen bowed respectfully to the Xuanji Holy Lord and asked, "Senior, could you send us to the Yanwu Sect branch?"

The Xuanji Holy Lord Bai Li nodded, not refusing.

Then, Ye Chen looked again at the fallen demon corpses on the ground; those are the flesh of great demons, and also the storage rings of supreme experts.

The Xuanji Holy Lord never moved.

Ye Chen asked, "Senior, these great demons' flesh and storage rings, let me gather them for you?"

Upon hearing that, the Xuanji Holy Lord's crystal-clear jade palm lightly stirred.

"Boom boom boom!"

More than ten great demon corpses instantly turned into a stream of light, flying into a storage ring, floating before Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was somewhat surprised, "Senior, is this a gift for me?"

The Xuanji Holy Lord lightly nodded.

Ye Chen rubbed his nose, "Senior, how can you be so embarrassed?"

Saying that, he directly took the storage ring.

Now he owes the Xuanji Holy Lord Bai Li even more favors!

Two life-saving favors, plus so many supreme treasures!

The Xuanji Holy Lord is too good to him!

The next moment.

The Xuanji Holy Lord stepped into the void and rose; his white hair three thousand zhang floated up, his body shimmering with terrifying divine radiance, and Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen unknowingly landed on a strand of his white hair.

That strand of white hair was like a heavenly-piercing pillar, inscribed with Dao patterns, immensely blazing and profoundly mysterious.

Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen quietly touched it; the Dao Resonance flowed, letting them secretly marvel in their hearts.

At this moment.

The Xuanji Holy Lord's beautiful eyes slightly furrowed; when Ji Fuyao also stepped onto a strand of her hair, she again sensed a trace of karmic force.

And the karmic force of Ji Fuyao!

The Xuanji Holy Lord was puzzled in his heart.

"Why is this?"
