Chapter Four Hundred Twenty-Nine
Ye Chu had originally prepared to consume one, but upon learning that only one could be taken at the Profound Fate Realm, he ultimately abandoned the notion. Such a good item should be saved for a critical moment. The higher the realm when consumed, the greater its value. Taking it now merely to advance from the third to the fourth level would truly be too wasteful.
There were eight advancement pills. Ye Chu gave one each to Yang Hui and Yang Ning. Of course, Ye Jingyun didn’t need him to give her one, she simply snatched one. The others Ye Chu placed back into the jade box and stored away!
With abundant resources in hand, the four were in exceptionally good spirits. Ye Jingyun completely treated these resources as her own, consuming Azure Origin Pills like beans. Her strength advanced extremely quickly, and in a short time she had actually caught up to Ye Chu, reaching the third level of the Profound Fate Realm.
This made Ye Chu glance at Ye Jingyun in surprise, thinking that she truly deserved to be direct bloodline of the Ye family, her cultivation speed extraordinary. Ye Chu could completely see that when Ye Jingyun cultivated with Azure Origin Pills, she employed a secret technique that allowed her to fully absorb the medicinal efficacy, and at an extremely rapid absorption rate.
“Don’t be envious! I told you that reaching the Profound Fate Realm represents a massive transformation for people like us!” Ye Jingyun said. “You are a human prodigy. Your transformation is even more terrifying. You simply lack the corresponding secret technique. Otherwise, your cultivation would be even faster than mine.”
“Cultivation secret technique?” Ye Chu was puzzled, but then smiled. “Teach me the Ye family’s secret technique to use?”
Ye Jingyun rolled her eyes. “It’s not that this young lady won’t teach you, but this set of secret techniques requires dense Ye family bloodline power. The Ye family bloodline power in you is extremely thin, fundamentally unable to drive it. Even if passed to you, it would be useless!”
“Damn! This world is truly fucked up, even cultivation techniques bully people.” Ye Chu muttered a curse, feeling extremely unbalanced in his heart.
“You are a human prodigy! Logically speaking, that should be enough to defy heaven. But why do I find you no different from ordinary cultivators? Don’t tell me you have no master! With your former waste material appearance, if you had no master yet could transform to such strength, I wouldn’t believe it even if you beat me to death.” Ye Jingyun looked at Ye Chu curiously.
“Having a master doesn’t mean you possess secret techniques.” Ye Chu was also cursing in his heart, thinking that Old Madman was truly unreliable. Other people’s disciples and clan members were all tall, rich, and handsome, having whatever they wanted. But he was like a stinking loser, having nothing of what he wanted. Everything depended on himself fighting for it.
“Damn! Old Madman boasts about how awesome he is, saying Wuxin Peak counts as one of the holy lands. Now looking at it, what kind of holy land is it? Not only is it poor as a church mouse, it doesn’t even have any reliable cultivation secret techniques.” Ye Chu cursed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
Of course Ye Chu didn’t know that it wasn’t that Old Madman wouldn’t give him cultivation secret techniques. By comparison, Wuxin Peak’s cultivation secret techniques were absolutely world-shaking. Whether it was Ou Yi, Jin Wawa, or Shui Gu, if they took out their cultivation secret techniques, it would make the world tremble.
But the problem was, Ye Chu had touched the Supreme Sword. Old Madman didn’t dare casually give him overly powerful secret techniques, especially those containing Dao principles and profound truths, because he feared stimulating the Supreme Will, making Ye Chu fall into迷失 even faster.
That was why Old Madman said that Ye Chu’s path entirely depended on himself, and how far he could go depended entirely on him.
“What a pity for you as a human prodigy! Though truly extraordinary, compared to true human prodigies, the gap is still enormous. Because true human prodigies possess foundations far too profound.” Ye Jingyun said, “Even me, if I truly employed secret techniques to fight you, you might not necessarily be my opponent.”
Ye Jingyun’s words left Ye Chu unable to retort. He didn’t doubt this in the slightest.
Figures like Ye Jingyun and Tan Chen, who knew how profound their foundations were, naturally possessed secret techniques that went without saying. Ye Chu couldn’t compare with them, nor did he want to compare with them.
The path still had to be walked out by himself. Even their ancestors back then, hadn’t they also started with nothing? Since the other party’s ancestors could walk out a world-shaking path, Ye Chu believed he could too.
“However, that secret technique of yours that can instantly reach King level is also world-shaking.” Ye Jingyun stared at Ye Chu with burning eyes. “It counts as a peerless secret technique. With this set of secret techniques on you, you need not fear even when facing human prodigies.”
“…”
Ye Chu directly ignored this woman. From her fiery gaze, Ye Chu could completely see what she meant. Only, this secret technique was unsuitable for anyone but himself. Even if Ye Jingyun schemed for it, it would be useless.
“Stingy!” Seeing Ye Chu ignore her, Ye Jingyun muttered, saying with extreme disdain.
Ye Chu shrugged indifferently, taking something from his bosom. This item was none other than the Baleful Spirit Technique obtained from the King-level treasury.
Ye Chu had obtained quite a few things on this trip. Whether it was Profound Stones or Sun-Moon Artifacts, all were extraordinary. But not a single item could make Ye Chu care so much. As the unique method of Baleful Spirit Masters, Ye Chu had long wanted to learn the Baleful Spirit Technique, but had never been able to gain entry. Now that he could, it fulfilled one of his wishes.
His hands trembling slightly, he opened the jade book, his mind merging into it, wanting to see just how extraordinary the Baleful Spirit Technique was.
…
In Ice Emperor City, Bai Xin and Bai Rou arrived with Axe King and his group. They looked at the ruined palace, their expressions gloomy to the extreme. Kneeling before them was the Flower King. At this moment, the Flower King’s body bore bloodstains, his entire body trembling as he prostrated on the ground, filled with terror.
“Hehe, Flower King! Can you explain what’s going on?” Axe King had long been displeased with the old man before him. Back then, relying on the Ice Emperor’s trust, he had bullied them no small amount. Now he had finally gotten his revenge. Several Kings surrounded and attacked him, beating him until he spat blood.
Cold sweat broke out on the Flower King’s back. He had originally thought that with the Ice Emperor dead, he would be master here. He hadn’t expected two women to come take over, and as representatives of the Fox Emperor. Axe King and his group directly rebelled and submitted to them.
“Flower King, you wouldn’t be the guard who stole from his own post. Tsk tsk, quite some guts.” Axe King chuckled, wishing nothing more than for Bai Xin and Bai Rou to execute this old fellow.
The Flower King jumped in fright. “Two great ones, see clearly. This has nothing to do with this old man. This was caused by one person.”
Bai Xin and Bai Rou looked at the ruined city, taking a deep breath, but the air in their chests simply wouldn’t smooth out. This was a King’s palace! How much wealth was within it, yet overnight it was all gone. Bai Xin and Bai Rou felt pain just imagining it.
“Speak! Who did this?” Bai Xin’s tone carried intense killing intent.
“It was Ye Chu!” The Flower King quickly said.
“It’s him!” Bai Xin’s heart jumped violently, involuntarily recalling something Ye Chu said before leaving, that he would make them regret. Could this be it?
“With him alone, he could reduce a palace to this?” Bai Xin snorted.
“He said the Ice Emperor was dead, inciting the entire city’s cultivators to plunder the palace. Moreover, he left a message…” At this point, the Flower King secretly glanced at Bai Xin and Bai Rou.
“What did he say?” Bai Rou asked.
“He said… he said: The noble, kind, and handsome young master Ye Chu has visited here. Thank you for your care.” The Flower King ultimately gritted his teeth and said it.
“Ye Chu! You seek death!” Bai Xin finally couldn’t hold back her eruption. Looking at the ruined palace, the pain was extreme. This originally belonged to them. At this moment, Bai Xin was filled with raging fury.
