Chapter 1261: Ye Chen, Don't Overthink It!

Ye Chen was about to speak when he heard Senior Sister Yue Yao's gentle yet apologetic voice.

"Junior Brother, since the crisis has already been resolved…Release Senior Sister first!"

Immediately afterward, Huo Linglong's voice also rang out.

"And me…"

During the earlier great battle, Yue Yao had felt guilt and, feeling powerless, had held Ye Chen while waiting for death. Huo Linglong had also squeezed over. In order not to affect the atmosphere, Ye Chen had simply held the two of them. As a result, he had forgotten about this and still had not let go.

Ye Chen immediately released them.

"I was too tense and forgot…"

Ye Chen was not lying at all. One was his senior sister and the other his junior niece. No matter what, it was impossible for him to harbor improper thoughts toward the two of them.

Yue Yao offered a gentle smile, indicating that Ye Chen need not mind. This left Huo Linglong, who had wanted to say something, suddenly finding it difficult to speak further. Yet she still glared at Ye Chen once…

…

At this moment, Ye Chen finally looked at the hall master of the Heavenly Secrets Hall and shook his head.

"No need. I fear that one day in the Dao Academy someone might secretly slap me to death…"

The hall master's expression solidified slightly. He quickly wished to make a promise. Yet Ye Chen's attitude was extremely firm. He merely shook his head in refusal, leaving the hall master of the Heavenly Secrets Hall especially regretful.

Jade Moon Immortal Monarch was somewhat surprised, yet did not persuade further. Junior Brother had walked from the lower realm to this day; he was by no means an irrational person. Since he refused, he must have his own plans.

Ye Chen spoke a few words of comfort to Nangong Wan. After confirming that the hall master of the Heavenly Secrets Hall would look after Nangong Wan and ensure her safety, he chose to depart.

Ye Chen of course would not participate in the Dao Academy. Setting aside whether it was dangerous or not, there were already few prodigies left. Both the quantity and quality of powerhouses would certainly be inferior to those of the War God Academy of the Other Domain.

Under such circumstances, the choice he ought to make was self-evident. With the Jianmu in his possession, he could completely achieve mutual communication between the two realms. He would collect origins in the War God Academy and return to gift origins.

Using the origins of the Other Domain's prodigies to raise his own fiancée candidates. A solid takeoff. Not to mention that the treasures within the War God Academy would absolutely outnumber those of the Dao Academy by countless times. Comparing the two sides, there was simply no need to choose.

Once he returned to the Jade Pool Immortal Sect this time and gifted his fiancée candidates to elevate their constitutions in one wave, he could find a reason to enter seclusion and go register at the War God Academy.

Along the way, he would acknowledge kinship and find Master, thereby obtaining a true thigh. On the Heavenly Emperor's side, although his realm was probably already outrageously high, he seemed truly to be in an especially troublesome predicament. In the end, he was even looking forward to Ye Chen growing up.

From what Ye Chen understood of the Heavenly Emperor's character, that was an existence who single-handedly swept through everything and never needed any companions or the like. He had always relied on his own strength to change the overall situation.

Yet now he had begun looking forward to helpers. One could see that he had truly encountered a difficult problem. Under such circumstances, Ye Chen also needed to trouble the other party less. Finding a true thigh was the proper path.

After confirming that Ye Chen had no intention of remaining, Jade Moon Immortal Monarch raised her hand and departed with Huo Linglong and Nangong Wan in a thunderous rush…

Everyone's gaze followed, yet no one dared to intercept. After all, those Immortal Kings had still not returned. Who knew whether they had already been beaten to death by the Heavenly Emperor. Ye Chen and the others left. Yet the majority of people still waited at the Heavenly Secrets Hall, wishing to know what had occurred between the Heavenly Emperor imprint and those Immortal Kings…

…

Three days later, spatial rifts surged in the sky above the Heavenly Secrets Hall. The Heavenly Secrets Immortal King and the others walked out unharmed. Yet the moment the Immortal King of the He Clan landed, he violently coughed blood, dyeing the entire firmament red until the moon itself transformed into a blood moon.

Half of Immortal King Yazi's wolf body directly vanished. Unable to recover with only half a head remaining, he departed carrying a boundless blood-fiend aura. Immediately afterward, the Immortal Kings of the Gongsun Clan, the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect, and other forces also left in a hurry with declining auras, no longer mentioning any Heavenly Emperor remnant…

This left everyone's hearts trembling. The Heavenly Emperor was far too terrifying. Had the Heavenly Emperor truly not died and drawn power onto this imprint?

Many people inquired curiously, wishing to know exactly what the situation was. Yet everyone remained tight-lipped about this battle and spoke not a single word. Only endless speculation continued to circulate.

Without a doubt, however, the news that the Heavenly Emperor might not be dead caused the entire Immortal Realm to shake. The imprint the Heavenly Emperor had left upon the Immortal Realm was far too deep. If he could truly return, it would change far too many things…

Ye Chen's name also spread throughout the entire Immortal Realm along with this trial. Everyone knew that the Heavenly Emperor's successor of this generation was terrifyingly powerful. He even had the protection of the Heavenly Emperor's true self, receiving treatment completely different from previous successors of the Heavenly Emperor. There were even many rumors claiming that Ye Chen was the Heavenly Emperor's own son left behind in the lower realm.

In short, for a time, Ye Chen's name rose to the heights of clamor. He had already been hailed as the top-tier prodigy of the younger generation in the Immortal Realm, without exception.

…

As for Ye Chen himself, the center of the storm, he paid little attention to these matters. Under the personal escort of Jade Moon Immortal Monarch, they flew back to the Jade Pool Immortal Sect in only a week's time.

Ye Chen had originally wished to spend more time with this senior sister. Yet the moment Senior Sister flew back to the immortal peak, she looked at Ye Chen with guilt.

"Junior Brother, it is ultimately Senior Sister's incompetence that caused you to suffer grievance... You should have gone to the Dao Academy to enjoy the best resources and grow rapidly.

"Yet because Senior Sister was too weak, you were humiliated and no longer wish to turn back. I will next enter seclusion and not emerge until I achieve the Immortal King realm. Only in this way can I protect Junior Brother!"

As the words fell, Jade Moon Immortal Monarch departed resolutely.

Ye Chen: … This senior sister of his increasingly resembled a useless husband whose wife had been humiliated and who therefore chose to strive upward…

Huo Linglong noticed that Ye Chen was staring after Jade Moon Immortal Monarch's departing figure in a daze. She immediately pursed her lips.

"Stop looking… and do not overthink the closeness Senior Master showed you earlier either. I heard Senior Master say that back then, Ancestor Western Empress especially liked holding Senior Master while lecturing on the Dao, believing that this allowed them to open their hearts more to each other…

"Therefore, Senior Master also developed this habit and used to hold me while lecturing on the Dao. It is merely a habit. Do you understand?

Hearing this, Ye Chen immediately raised an eyebrow… The Western Empress had such a habit as well? He himself was also a disciple of the Western Empress. Then, when they met in the Other Domain in the future, would she also hold him while lecturing on the Dao?

Imagining that scene left him rather embarrassed.

Huo Linglong saw that Ye Chen was thinking about something unknown, yet he did not look particularly proper, and her mouth twitched slightly. Still, she immediately spoke with a serious expression.

"Actually, you ought to go to the Dao Academy…The arrival of the Other Domain is already a foregone conclusion. Under the current circumstances, seizing every opportunity to grow is the proper path. There is no need to abandon the chance to grow stronger over a momentary fit of temper."

Huo Linglong meant well.

Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled faintly.

"Rest assured. I have a better place to go!"

Huo Linglong simply assumed Ye Chen was still being stubborn. After all, throughout the entire Immortal Realm, where else was there a place more suitable for growth than the Dao Academy?

Yet she chose to see through it without exposing it and left Ye Chen some face by saying no more.

On Ye Chen's side, after watching Huo Linglong depart, he directly flew toward his own Transcendence Peak to seek out his fiancée candidates…

The harvest this time had been enormous. It was time to give gifts!

Chapter 1262: Myriad Laws Returning to the Void!

Ye Chen flew back to Transcendence Peak. He stood at his own doorway for a while, looking at the pool, confirmed that the disciples and elders had not dirtied it, and even thoughtfully inquired about the usage experience before he finally felt at ease and arrived at his fiancée's cave residence. The moment he entered the cave residence, he could already smell the clear fragrance of osmanthus. A system prompt also sounded in his mind.

"Detected that the multiplier of the gift recipient has changed…"

"Yi Qingwu: one hundred thousand times!"

Seeing this multiplier, Ye Chen revealed a smile. So many years had passed, and his fiancée had been fed by him all the way from the original two thousand five hundred times to one hundred thousand times.

Most important of all, this was still not the peak. His fiancée's Chaos Immortal Body had clearly not yet reached perfection. As long as his fiancée could continue rising all the way, he was confident he could feed her to over a million times.

His fiancée slowly raised her eyes and swept an emotionless glance over Ye Chen, the corners of her lips curving in a half-smile that was not quite a smile.

"You have only just returned yet already have the leisure to come to my place…It seems Nangong Wan did not return. Competing for a ranking among the Ten Outstanding took so long. It appears it was prepared for your long-legged Wanwan…"

News from the Heavenly Secrets Hall had not yet reached the Jade Pool Immortal Sect. Yet Yi Qingwu only needed a single glance to guess far too much.

Hearing this, Ye Chen's mouth twitched. His fiancée truly understood him far too well.

"The Dao Academy and such mean nothing to me. My main desire was to return and keep you company…"

Ye Chen spoke softly, wishing to gloss over the matter. Yet Yi Qingwu, whose features were as though painted and refined to the extreme, revealed a disdainful smile.

"Today is the death anniversary of my fiancé…Even after arriving in the Immortal Realm, I still cannot forget him. Today, Ying Tiansheng is accompanying me. I do not need you…"

Ye Chen: "…"

His fiancée still loved this tone so much. Originally, Ye Chen had planned to cut straight to the point and gift directly. Yet it seemed he needed to soothe his fiancée first. Thus, the corners of Ye Chen's lips curved, and he immediately activated the Mark Secret.

In an instant, Mark Secret soared to the heavens throughout the entire cave residence… His fiancée endured the harm brought by the Mark Secret and immediately summoned her demonic body…

…

This suppression lasted a full week afterward. His fiancée, whose mood had become ordinary, no longer minded the Dao Academy ranking. Radiating a unique fragrance of osmanthus, she looked at Ye Chen with lazy eyes and spoke.

"Ye Chen, your not going to the Dao Academy is indeed somewhat of a pity…"

Ye Chen immediately smiled faintly. With a wave of his large hand, an unprecedented dense origin that had already been purified countless times circulated in his hand and was delivered before Yi Qingwu.

"I cannot bear to leave the Jade Pool Immortal Sect, and even less can I bear to leave you, Qingwu… The Dao Academy may not necessarily bring me any help. After all, I possess the Heavenly Emperor's treasury. It is difficult for the Dao Academy to surprise me.

"Therefore, when I went to the trial this time, I never cared about that ranking. My primary purpose was still for you, Qingwu… I only hope that you can obtain the Chaos Immortal Body as soon as possible!"

Ye Chen possessed no Heavenly Emperor's treasury. Yet everyone outside believed he did, which did not seem to be a bad thing. It could conceal far too many matters.

Yi Qingwu clearly knew that Ye Chen's words were half true and half false. Yet looking at the unprecedented dense origin in Ye Chen's hand, she still could not help softening in her heart…

Although Ye Chen was fickle, it had to be said that over these many years, Ye Chen had always helped her without complaint or regret. Whether in the cultivation world or the Immortal Realm, up to now, he had never slackened even a fraction and was even more attentive than she herself. Moreover, this origin was dense beyond reason.

Clearly, Ye Chen's words were not false. Inside the secret realm, he had wholeheartedly collected origins for her. The Dao Academy ranking gifted to Nangong Wan was probably truly obtained casually and given away at will.

At this thought, Yi Qingwu's mood grew even happier. She did not say any words of thanks.

Filled with joy, Yi Qingwu controlled her demonic body and instantly suppressed toward Ye Chen. Sensing his fiancée's repaying kindness with enmity, Ye Chen had no choice. He could only spoil her. He could not even spare attention for the system prompt sounding within his mind and hurriedly met the attack passively…

…

Another week later, Ye Chen finally felt refreshed and clean. Under his fiancée's soft and sticky gaze, he drifted away in farewell. The moment he returned to the entrance of his cave residence, he saw Huo Linglong cultivating within the divine pool, concealed by lotus flowers.

Huo Linglong's trip to the Heavenly Secrets Hall this time had also been especially stifling. Without achieving the Immortal Monarch realm, one ultimately could not stand at the forefront. Yet the Immortal King was the true peak of the Immortal Realm. Even among Immortal Kings, there were strengths and weaknesses.

Yet beneath Immortal Kings all were ants… Well… with the exception of the Heavenly Emperor. Therefore, she had also received stimulation and, upon returning, cultivated with especial seriousness.

At this moment, she raised her eyes, saw Ye Chen, and pursed her lips speechlessly. She had originally thought that Ye Chen, having been forced and unable to enter the Dao Academy, would also feel humiliation and return to strive diligently. She had never expected that the first thing Ye Chen did upon returning was to seek out female cultivators.

Moreover, the seeking lasted a full half month. He was truly beyond saving.

Huo Linglong rolled her eyes and could not be bothered with Ye Chen. In any case, the lotus flowers' birth and extinction blocked the view; Ye Chen could see only a tiny bit, so it did not matter.

Ye Chen, sensing Huo Linglong's charming eye-roll, actually felt somewhat stimulated… Not to mention, among all the female cultivators he knew, Huo Linglong's eye-roll possessed the most flavor.

After protecting the disciples and elders for a long while, Ye Chen finally strode into his own cave residence. At last, he had time to check the system prompts.

"Congratulations to the host on a successful gift…"

"Gift given: Immortal Body Origin!"

"One hundred thousand times feedback in progress…"

"Detected that the gift presented by the host is of extreme importance to the recipient…"

"Triggered maximum critical hit feedback…"

"Triggered heart-strike feedback…"

"Feedback: ten percent of Primordial Chaos Supreme Body Origin!"

"Host's Primordial Chaos Supreme Body completeness elevated to twenty percent!"

Looking at the feedback, Ye Chen revealed a smile. This time, he had nearly wiped out all the top prodigies under three thousand years of age in the Immortal Realm in one net. Only Wang Xuanji he had been somewhat reluctant to kill.

And the Tianzhang Monk had been too good at reading the situation, so he had been spared. Otherwise, the harvest could have been even richer. Yet even so, it was denser than ever before.

On his fiancée's side, the multiplier had risen to one hundred thousand times and become even more vigorous. Combining the two produced this miracle of a ten-percent feedback in a single instance.

Ye Chen could clearly sense that during this period, the bloodline power of his constitution had been continuously boiling. Compared to before, it had strengthened by an unknown amount. Moreover, a new divine ability was gestating and had already shown initial signs…

Ye Chen calmed his mind and comprehended. Soon, he obtained the content of the divine ability gestated after the Primordial Chaos Supreme Body reached twenty percent.

"Myriad Laws Returning to the Void: Mobilize all the laws one has comprehended around the body for one's own use. One can create a land of returning to the void around the enemy, preventing the enemy from unleashing any divine ability that carries law power."

"One can further return all laws to oneself and unleash the myriad laws together, destroying everything…"

Looking at the introduction, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and then revealed a smile. The second divine ability of the Primordial Chaos Supreme Body was also rather fierce!
