Chapter 67

"Master, sorry, I ate too slowly."

Lu Xuan smiled and said, "It seems you still can't handle that much Azure Abyss Heavenly Water; next time use less."

Ye Chen said, "Good."

He ate another meal!

Ye Chen seamlessly continued.

After tidying up Cao Wu, Ye Chen said, "Master, I feel my whole body is filled with power! I'm going back to the cave dwelling to cultivate!"

Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Go."

Soon.

Ye Chen returned to the cave dwelling and released the sealing spell.

He gathered his mind.

He began cultivating the Wilderness Heaven Secret.

He sat cross-legged, wearing a white robe, a faint divine radiance emanated from his body, and before him lay a pile of top-grade spirit stones.

At this alchemy exchange conference, he fought with soul power, activating the Wilderness Heaven Secret; its lethal force was overbearing and unmatched, and its terrifying power suppressed all directions.

Thinking back now, it secretly startled him.

This was the first time he used the Wilderness Heaven Secret to kill an enemy!

Such an overwhelming aura and fighting spirit were too shocking!

Ye Chen murmured, "I am the Wilderness Heaven Emperor; I shall suppress all enemies in the world!"

That was an invincible immortal will!

Whether in the present, past, or future, his invincible figure spans the river of time; that heaven-reaching figure stands firm between eternity, unshakable.

Thinking of this.

Ye Chen's hand seal shifted, and he began to circulate the Wilderness Heaven Secret.

Instantly, the top-grade spirit stones continuously melted, transforming into vast spiritual power that surged into Ye Chen's body.

Soon Ye Chen touched a hint of the 'Dao' and 'rhyme' within the Wilderness Heaven Secret.

First, one must have an invincible heart and obsession!

Absolute confidence!

If fear arises in the heart, one loses the qualification to cultivate the Wilderness Heaven Secret.

Know that the master of this technique alone decided the ages, sweeping aside all enemies in the world!

Now the Wilderness Heaven Secret he cultivates is not the complete version.

The complete version absolutely surpasses the six-star emperor level!

Soon.

Ye Chen fell into a mysterious cultivation state; brilliant divine radiance shimmered over his body, his flesh gleamed like stars, his bones were crystal clear, appearing transcendent and unworldly, as if a divine child had descended to the mortal realm.

Vast reserves of cultivation poured into Ye Chen's dantian.

At the same time.

Lu Xuan lay on the Yan Chuang, gazing at the firmament, the clouds rolling and unfurling like white clouds and grey dogs.

Just then.

The system's voice sounded.

"Ding! Host's second disciple Ye Chen is cultivating! Begin syncing cultivation!"

"Ding! Host's second disciple is comprehending the Wilderness Heaven Secret! Begin syncing!"

Instantly.

Vast reserves of cultivation poured into Lu Xuan's body!

Besides that, there was also comprehension of the Wilderness Heaven Secret!

This feeling is simply too comfortable!

Suddenly, Lu Xuan thought of Ji Fuyao.

He murmured, "Fuyao took on a three-month sect mission; two months have already passed, and I don't know how her affairs are going."

He glanced at Ji Fuyao's system panel.

Still at the early stage of the one-star Xuan Saint realm!

At that moment.

The voice-transmitting jade slip in his bosom vibrated.

Lu Xuan infused spiritual power into it.

The sect master's voice slowly transmitted, "Lu Xuan, I heard you little brat have gathered many cultivation resources from numerous heaven-rank alchemists?"

Lu Xuan gave a faint smile, "Just a few holy weapons and tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones."

The sect master's face twitched, "You little brat, being able to seize cultivation resources from the stingy Elder Cangli, an alchemist, is also quite a talent."

Lu Xuan said, "They got even more from Ye Chen."

The sect master asked, "Oh, by the way, has Fuyao sent back any news from her external training?"

Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "No."

The sect master instructed, "Whether it's Fuyao or Ye Chen, if anything happens, you must promptly inform me. Although they both have guardians behind them, we cannot be careless. Especially since Ye Chen has now formed a grudge with Nangong Bai Xue; in the future, let Ye Chen be more cautious."

Lu Xuan said, "I understand."

Supreme Profound Sect.

"Boom!"

Pill Saint Yunyang rode the ancient spirit vessel, tearing through the void, and returned to the Supreme Profound Sect.

Supreme Profound Sect Sect Leader Wei Qianhan immediately rose into the air, laughing as he said, "Yunyang, why did you return so early……"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Pill Saint Yunyang cradling the heavily injured Nangong Bailue in his arms.

Wei Qianhan's face turned grim as he said, "Yunyang, what exactly happened? Where are the other disciples of our sect?"

Pill Saint Yunyang's eyes nearly burst, he gritted his teeth and said, "Besides Nangong Bailue, everyone is dead!"

Wei Qianhan furrowed his brows, asking, "What's going on? Who dares to attack our Supreme Profound Sect's disciples?"

This time we lost over a dozen pill-refining geniuses!

They just fell like that?

The losses are catastrophic!

Pill Saint Yunyang angrily said, "It was Great Dao Sect disciple Ye Chen who struck! Sect Leader, now send a sound transmission to the Qin family—Nangong Bailue's soul and body are both severely wounded; I have sealed her, but she won't last long."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qianhan produced an ancient jade slip in his hand, infused it with his divine sense, and sent a sound transmission to the Qin clan head.

"Nangong Bailue's soul and body are both severely wounded; please come to our Supreme Profound Sect as soon as possible! Rest assured, we will have the finest physicians treat Nangong Bailue."

The Qin clan head said coldly, "What happened? Who dares to act against my Qin family's fiancée?"

Nangong Bailue is the Qin family's anciently designated fiancée!

She possesses the Yin Yang Elemental Body, which is of great use to Qin Xiao!

Wei Qianhan said lightly, "This is a long story; we'll discuss it when you arrive."

Saying that, Wei Qianhan cut off the transmission, carrying Nangong Bailue as he flew toward the main hall.

Pill Saint Yunyang immediately sent a sound transmission to Qin Xiao.

Soon, many people descended into the main hall.

Qin Xiao entered the main hall with a furious expression, killing intent surging, his brocade robe fluttering, and shouted, "This trash Ye Chen, how dare he act against Bailue? He's practically begging for death!"

Qin Xiao's master, Saint King Xuan Ye, wearing a gray robe and with an icy expression, also stepped into the main hall.

Everyone gazed at the heavily injured Nangong Bailue, their fury blazing, and declared, "Does the Great Dao Sect not even place our Supreme Profound Sect in their eyes?"

Pill Saint Yunyang told everyone what had happened in the Great Dao Sect, but concealed that he had been momentarily distracted by gaining insight into Ye Chen's pill-refining technique, which led to the tragedy.

Everyone felt indignant and resentful.

Pill Saint Yunyang sneered, "Guyue Fang actually wants to detain me and demand an explanation?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Qianhan gritted his teeth, his body trembling with rage, he flicked his sleeve and stomped hard on the ground, roaring, "How unreasonable! Simply outrageous!"

"When has our Supreme Profound Sect ever suffered such humiliation? As the host, how dare the Great Dao Sect rely on its status to bully others!"

Just then.

A gray-robed elder slowly entered the great hall; he looked weathered by wind and frost, his frame gaunt, his steps as frail as a weakling.

Seeing this, everyone bowed respectfully, "Elder Yuan Qingzi!"

Elder Yuan Qingzi is a Six-Star Emperor of the Supreme Profound Sect!

He proved his emperorship through the medical Dao, his medical mastery reaching the heavens.

In Nan Huang there is a saying: "I, Yuan Qingzi, can save your life—or take it!"

That was Elder Yuan Qingzi's peak era, his domineering reputation in Nan Huang.

But now, with the passage of time, Elder Yuan Qingzi has long retreated into seclusion and no longer wanders Nan Huang.

Sect Leader Wei Qianhan said, "Please, Elder, act and save Nangong Bailue."

Everyone gradually stepped back behind Elder Yuan Qingzi.

Elder Yuan Qingzi approached Nangong Bailue, bent down, his withered hands like a few twigs, and placed her wrist in his palm.

"Boom!"

A surge of azure-green divine radiance erupted from Elder Yuan Qingzi's body; mysterious Dao patterns flickered across his wide sleeves, and a mysterious power filled the main hall, refreshing like a spring breeze.

Shortly after.

Elder Yuan Qingzi slowly said, "It turns out she was gravely wounded by her soul; the soul's fluctuations rebounded onto her body, nearly destroying all of Bailue's meridians!"

"Although the attacker's cultivation is not high, he possesses supreme lethal power."

At this moment, Qin Xiao clasped his hands in a bow and said, "Elder, please save Bailue no matter what; my Qin family can pay any price."

Elder Yuan Qingzi gave a faint smile, "As long as I am here, anyone who hasn't died can have their life prolonged! Don't worry, it will only cost a single emperor-grade spirit herb."

Saying that.

An emperor-grade spirit herb appeared in Elder Yuan Qingzi's hand!

Besides that, there were several quasi-emperor-grade spirit herbs, over a dozen half-emperor-grade spirit herbs, and countless herbs below half-emperor grade.

Elder Yuan Qingzi said, "You need not wait here; staying will only hinder me."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Wei Qianhan and the others slowly withdrew from the main hall.

Elder Yuan Qingzi took out an ancient iron cauldron and began tossing the numerous spirit herbs into it one by one.

He sat cross-legged, his hand seals shifting, mysterious Dao patterns flowing over his body, resplendent divine radiance illuminating the main hall—as if a great sun were rising within it.

Three days later.

Elder Yuan Qingzi refined a cauldron of white, viscous medicinal liquid.

He slowly lifted Nangong Bailue and gently infused her body with a mild force.

Nangong Bailue's inner world had suffered severe damage, resembling a ruined ancient temple, like a mottled city wall, a sight too horrible to behold.

Yet this force entering her body was like continuous spring rain, moistening Nangong Bailue's body; her body, like parched earth receiving rain, began to slowly recover.

Not long after.

Elder Yuan Qingzi shifted his divine sense; Nangong Bailue's pale lips parted slightly, he flicked his sleeve, and a force sent the white viscous medicinal liquid into her mouth.

As this mysterious medicinal liquid flowed into Nangong Bailue's body, her inner being began to undergo an abnormal change.

The meridians all over his body are recovering!

His damaged soul is also constantly reassembling!

After an incense stick's time.

Nangong Baixue's complexion actually showed a hint of color, her eyes struggled to open, and she looked toward Yuan Qingzi.

"This, this is where…… Am I dead?"

Seeing this, Yuan Qingzi said to the outside of the main hall, "Everyone come in."

The voice fell!

Sect Master Wei Qianhan, Yunyang Dan Sheng, Qin Xiao and others stepped into the main hall.

Also stepping in together was the Qin Clan Elder!

The Qin Clan Elder bowed to Yuan Qingzi, took out a space ring, and said, "Thank you, senior, for your help. The space ring contains two stalks of emperor-tier spirit medicine, as well as other quasi-emperor-tier spirit medicine; please accept it, senior!"

Yuan Qingzi waved his hand indifferently, not accepting the space ring, and said, "It's fine. Bai Xue still needs to rest for several months to fully recover. I will continue to prepare the medicinal liquid for Bai Xue."

The Qin Clan Elder said, "Senior Yuan Qingzi, the subsequent spirit medicines will be provided by my Qin family!"

Yuan Qingzi nodded and said, "Yes."

Qin Xiao immediately came before Nangong Baixue; Nangong Baixue's gaze became clear, she grabbed Qin Xiao's hand, and through gritted teeth said, "Qin Xiao, you must kill Ye Chen…… cough cough…… kill Ye Chen!"
