Chapter 668

Ye Chen succeeded; he was the first in this alchemy conference.

Fang Ming was stunned.

Senior Yun, then I...

Originally, Yun Qianji had agreed with him that if he obtained first place in the alchemy exchange conference, only then could he take him away from the Taichu Star Domain.

He really wanted to improve!

This Taichu Star Domain is completely a godforsaken trash domain.

He must leave here to change his fate as a frog in a well!

If Ye Chen obtains first place, wouldn't Yun Qianji take Ye Chen away?

Yun Qianji smiled and sent a voice transmission: "It's fine; I already value you. Regardless of your ranking, I will take you with me. Your talent is the strongest I've ever seen. Ye Chen merely had some fortunate encounters."

Hearing Yun Qianji say that, Fang Ming felt much better.

But he still didn't want Yun Qianji to take Ye Chen away.

This Ye Chen person puts too much pressure on him!

If he goes to the Desolate Ancient Flame Domain, once he reaches the Divine Sovereign realm, the first thing will be to return to the Taichu Star Domain and kill that old thing Gu He and that dog Ye Chen.

Thinking of this, Fang Ming probed, "Then Ye Chen, will Senior Yun take him away?"

Yun Qianji said, "If possible, I will take him, but I worry your master won't agree."

Fang Ming prayed in his heart that Old Gu He would adopt a firmer attitude and keep Ye Chen.

After an hour.

Ye Chen also completed his refining.

He put away the ancient ancestor's dharma image and returned to the assessment square.

Many disciples hung their heads, dispirited.

Fang Ming had become an existence they could not surpass, even hard to look up to; unexpectedly, Ye Chen was even more heaven-defying!

One day later.

Ancestor Gu He announced, "These three rounds of competition are over!"

Yun Qianji said, "First and second have been decided: first is Ye Chen, who refined the Lingxu Star to help it ascend; second is Fang Ming, who refined the ultimate Lingxu Pill of the competition, a six-star Divine God grade!"

Next, Ancestor Gu He and Yun Qianji began examining the other disciples' refined pills.

After an incense stick's time.

Ancestor Gu He flicked his sleeve, and a large list appeared Above the Void.

Third place, Mu Qi.

Fourth place, Ruan Qiong.

Fifth place, Zheng Dafeng.

Some were happy, some were worried.

The first five hundred disciples were excited to tears of joy.

Who got first place no longer mattered; what mattered was that they had clung to the thigh of the Lingxu Pill Sect.

Ancestor Gu He flicked his sleeve, his voice shaking the heavens: "The heads of the peaks may come forth to select their disciples."

According to the rules of this competition, those within the top five hundred are directly admitted into the Lingxu Pill Sect.

Those between five hundred and one thousand are decided by the many elders as to whether they are admitted into the Lingfeng.

This is entirely up to fate.

At this moment, Fang Ming felt he should do something to get Ancestor Gu He to keep Ye Chen.

He went straight to Ancestor Gu He's side, "Master, what do you think of Ye Chen?"

Ancestor Gu He said, "His talent is comparable to yours, but Ye Chen hasn't grown yet. You're leaving; stay well in the Desolate Ancient Flame Domain."

Fang Ming's eyes reddened slightly, "Master, I really can't bear to leave you, or the Lingxu Pill Sect. Why not let Junior Ye Chen follow Senior Yun? I'm willing to give up this opportunity."

Ancestor Gu He gave a dry cough, "It's you. Ye Chen's timing isn't enough yet."

You should know that Ye Chen's soul lacks his Dao imprint.

Once Ye Chen enters the Desolate Ancient Flame Domain, he'll likely be like a loach entering the sea, transforming into a dragon.

So, first send Fang Ming away, then later send Ye Chen away.

He'll then have two strong thighs in the Desolate Ancient Flame Domain!

Fang Ming quickly grasped Ancestor Gu He's meaning, his heart settled, and began cursing him: "Damned old thing, the Dao imprint you placed in my body—I don't believe anyone in the Desolate Ancient Flame Domain can break it! This grudge, I must repay you tenfold, a hundredfold… a thousandfold!"

Meanwhile, Ye Chen returned to Lu Xuan's side.

"Master, I have not disgraced my mission!"

Lu Xuan smiled, "Rest a bit; you did well."

Xuanji Holy Lord chuckled, "Second senior brother, to celebrate your first place, I'll cook you a meal."

Ye Chen was frightened, stepping back repeatedly, hastily waving his hands, "No need for that!"

Lu Xuan: "......"

Everyone laughed heartily.

Meanwhile, as the Lingxu Pill Sect members were immersed in the lively atmosphere after the alchemy conference ended, Gui Cang leading the Gui Domain army and the Tianyuan Star Palace army had already torn through the void, approaching the Lingxu Star Sea.

Boom boom boom!

Dozens of cloud vessels tore through the void; the Dao markings inscribed on them were immensely overbearing, directly piercing the stellar gales, overwhelmingly mighty.

On the lead cloud vessel, Gui Cang's face showed a teasing killing intent; he raised his hand and waved, "No need to hide now; even if Ancestor Gu He discovers us, it's already too late."

The voice fell!

The Strange Realm Envoy directly released their aura, the terrifying strange power like a black torrent striking the surrounding stars.

Finally, I don't have to hold my breath!

I've been holding my breath all this way, it's killing me!

I just want to devour all living beings now! Heh heh heh...

The many Strange Realm Envoys could no longer contain their excitement.

It's been ages since we've unleashed slaughter in the Primordial Star Domain.

I really miss that feeling!

This time we will destroy the Lingxu Pill Sect, and the entire Lingxu Star Sea will run red with blood!

Boom!

As more Strange Realm Envoys unleashed their Dao, the strange power kept forming towering Dao patterns, turning the once dead-quiet star sea even more horrifying.

Where the cloud vessel swept, it was accompanied by all kinds of hair-raising strange cries.

And Mo Wuntian raised his hand, waving, 'No need to conceal your aura anymore.'

With a tremendous boom, all the Heavenly God realm and Ancient Ancestor realm experts of the Tianyuan Star Palace unleashed their pressure.

Like many burning suns slowly rising.

Two vastly different Dao auras appeared in the starry sky.

Gu Cang pointed at the ten major stars of the Lingxu Pill Sect and said, 'Charge straight into the ten major stars—whoever dares to block dies! After we destroy the Lingxu Pill Sect's ten major stars, you may freely devour the other stars of the Lingxu Star Sea!'

Yes, sir!

Boom boom boom!

Numerous terrifying auras swept across the starry sky, directly stepping into the Lingxu Star Sea.

The once splendid star sea was shaken by two kinds of aura: a black strange power torrent, and the Tianyuan Star Palace's Tianyuan Dao.

Who dares to intrude upon my Lingxu Star Sea?

An old voice rang out.

This is the Lingxu Star Sea's gatekeeper, as ever guarding its gate.

At this moment, he had not yet realized how serious the problem was.

Hearing this rebuke, Gu Cang snorted, 'Are the people of the Lingxu Star Sea always this brave?'

Just then.

Gu Cang directly manifested the dharma form of a half-step God Sovereign realm; his terrifying form dwarfed ten stars, his body covered in red hair, the strange power extremely rich, and every movement embodied Dao evolution.

Gu Xuan reached out to grab the old man guarding the gate, a towering heavenly hand blotting out the sky.

The old man's face filled with shock as he crushed the jade slip in his hand, instantly activating a towering heavenly formation.

He roared, 'Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!'
