Xianxia: I Built the Heavenly Secret Pavilion; All People Worships Me (Patreon)

Chapter 94: Seeking Guidance

While Radiant Light Holy Lord was busy collecting materials and selecting individuals for the formation setup, in the Great Wilderness City, a bronze war chariot traversed the void, descending rapidly from the sky.

The driver, an old man in black, exuded a stable aura.

His every move and gesture revealed an air of tranquility.

His eyes, when opened, sparkled with wisdom.

Clearly, he was a formidable figure, not to be underestimated.

Before the chariot, a large flag fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound, bearing the character "Ye."

Any force, upon seeing this banner, would shudder because it represented the Imperial Ye Clan.

"Is Ye Chen coming?" Outside the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, many scouts from different forces witnessed this scene.

They collectively turned to look at the bronze chariot.

During this period, news of Ye Chen had spread across dozens of states.

Defeating the Jade Virtue Holy Son in one move and claiming the second spot on the Heavenly List, he was the King without a Crown in the absence of the first.

His future achievements were unimaginable; becoming an Emperor was not out of the question.

After all, in history, instances of surpassing others later on were not uncommon.

"Now that he has arrived in the Great Wilderness City, is it to meet the master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion?" Many people squinted their eyes, watching the bronze chariot without blinking.

Inside the chariot, Ye Chen descended.

He had a heroic stature, disheveled black hair, a sharply defined face with sword-like eyebrows, and eyes that contained endless starlight, resembling the rebirth of an ancient Emperor.

He stood outside the chariot, raised his head, and looked at a couplet in front.

"Understand the Yin and Yang, decipher the Five Elements; observe the sun and moon in the palm, understand the past and present within the universe. Anyone under the heavens who can say such words should only be the master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion," Ye Chen sighed lightly.

"The master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion can arrange the Heavenly Genius Ranking, naturally, he is no ordinary person," the old man beside him said.

"Let's go pay a visit to the master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion first," Ye Chen suggested.

He lifted his foot and walked towards the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

The old man followed closely behind.

The two entered the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and quickly spotted the figure of Li Yun.

"Younger generation Ye Chen pays respects to the esteemed Pavilion Master!" Ye Chen bowed.

"Ye Chen?" Li Yun raised his head upon hearing the voice, glanced at Ye Chen, and smiled, "A distant visitor is a guest, no need to be formal. Please, have a seat."

He remembered Ye Chen's name quite clearly.

The second on the Heavenly List, backed by an Imperial clan with countless years of heritage and an incredibly rich family background.

There were probably not many forces in the world among the younger generation that could match Ye Chen's wealth.

Of course, this was limited to the younger generation, and the wealth of older figures was hard to estimate.

"Senior is too courteous," Ye Chen said, feeling pleasantly surprised.

He didn't expect the person who created Heavenly Genius Ranking to be so gentle, without the imposing aura typical of a formidable figure.

Instead, he appeared cultured and refined, more like a scholar.

"Did you come to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion today for the person ranked first on the Heavenly Genius Ranking?" Li Yun smiled.

Without checking the system, he could guess why Ye Chen came.

Why did he create the Heavenly Genius Ranking? Wasn't it for people like Ye Chen, who wanted to defeat all opponents and then ascend to become an unrivaled Emperor?

"Senior has a discerning eye."

Ye Chen nodded, not denying that his intention to challenge the first on the Heavenly Genius Ranking was no longer a secret.

It was reasonable for the senior to know about it.

"The first on the Heavenly Genius Ranking is not as simple as you might think," Li Yun said with a meaningful tone.

"On this matter, I've already made some guesses," Ye Chen replied calmly.

The other participants on the Heavenly Genius Ranking had some introductions, but the first person had none, obviously surpassing them by a margin.

Such a person being a bit more mysterious was also reasonable.

With that, Ye Chen turned and gave a signal to the old man behind him.

The old man took out five jade boxes and placed them in front of Li Yun.

The jade boxes were translucent, covered with restrictions, and emitted a faint medicinal fragrance even without being opened.

These were five Holy Lord Grade spirit medicines!

"A small token of appreciation, nothing more," Ye Chen signaled the old man to step back and said, "I hope for Senior's guidance."

"Not bad," Li Yun glanced at the five spirit medicines, raising an eyebrow.

This was a significant gift, generously given.

There was no hint of regret on Ye Chen's face.

What did this represent? It meant that he hadn't reached his bottom line yet. There must be even more precious treasures on him.

"Alright," Li Yun waved his hand, accepting the spirit medicines. He then said, "System, check information on Yu Qingxian."

[Ding!]

[Deducting ten thousand Secret Points, information on Yu Qingxian successfully retrieved.]

[Name: Yu Qingxian.]

[Strength: Peak of Heavenly Transformation Realm!]

[Subordinate Force: Kunlun Immortal Palace!]

[Previous Life: Kunlun Empress! (To learn more details, requires one million eight hundred thousand Secret Points.)]

[Divine Arts:…]

[Cultivation Techniques:…]

[Current Location: Kunlun Void, a broken world with an Emperor Grade killing formation guarding the outside. Trespassers will die without a way in!]

"This Yu Qingxian seems quite extraordinary!" Li Yun's heart skipped a beat.

While others belonged to forces, Yu Qingxian was listed as "subordinate force," indicating that Kunlun Immortal Palace probably belonged to her alone.

Moreover, Yu Qingxian had an extra option - "Previous Life." She was a former empress!

Could such a person still be considered a young genius? Did she reincarnate and cultivate again?

Thinking of this, Li Yun gave a sorrowful glance at Ye Chen.

Setting aside the matter of reincarnation, even at present, Yu Qingxian's strength seemed to be beyond what Ye Chen could contend with.

A Peak of Heavenly Transformation Realm versus a Nirvana Realm, there was a significant gap in realms. And one was a former empress in her past life!

Would Ye Chen really challenge her head-on? That was a big...
