Chapter 214
Chapter 214: Ancient Divine Beast! Veteran Simp!
The previously gloomy atmosphere of Jade Pond Sacred Land was revitalized because of Ye Chen’s Weibo post.
Countless female disciples were thrilled at the thought of the Heavenly Origin Saint Master’s imminent arrival, their hearts fluttering.
Even the Jade Pond Saint Master had a look of longing in her eyes.
“A man like the Saint Master, powerful, highly respected, and incredibly wealthy! Being his Dao companion would make any woman the happiest in all of Great Yan Province.”
The Jade Pond Saint Master shook her head gently, “You have no chance!”
The Saint Master felt a bit indignant but didn’t dare to speak out.
The Jade Pond Saint Master couldn’t bear to reveal the truth, afraid of hurting her Holy Maiden’s feelings.
The Heavenly Origin Saint Master was coming for her!
He was infatuated with the most beautiful woman in Great Yan Province!
Thinking of this, the Jade Pond Saint Master realized she had become somewhat haggard recently…
Even her clothes seemed too ordinary.
She needed to prepare!
Since the Heavenly Origin Saint Master was coming for her, even though she couldn’t accept his affection, she still had to present her most perfect self.
Amid the anticipation of Jade Pond Sacred Land and the cultivators of the Eastern Sea, the next day arrived.
By noon, dozens of terrifyingly powerful figures descended upon the gates of Jade Pond Sacred Land.
The Jade Pond Saint Master and elders stood outside to greet them.
The arrival of Heavenly Origin Sacred Land’s support naturally warranted the highest level of reception.
Leading the group was Ye Chen.
Clad in white, his starry eyes sparkled, giving him an ethereal, immortal-like presence, making the eyes of countless female disciples in Jade Pond Sacred Land shine with admiration.
“Greetings to the Heavenly Origin Saint Master and the elders of Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.
“We are deeply grateful for your support and will remember it always. The Supreme Elder is currently healing from injuries and will join us later. Please forgive the delay.”
The Jade Pond Saint Master’s voice was clear, like a mountain spring, invoking a sense of closeness.
Since arriving in the Eastern Sea, Ye Chen’s gaze had been drawn to the majestic Kunlun.
As the number one immortal mountain in Great Yan Province, it was indeed magnificent.
Upon seeing the Jade Pond Saint Master, a flash of amazement crossed Ye Chen’s eyes.
She truly deserved her title as the number one beauty.
In person, she was even more stunning than in photos — her snow-white skin and perfect figure were comparable to Gu Yunyun’s voluptuousness.
Her facial features seemed to be the perfect creation of the heavens, emitting a soft glow, truly like an immortal fairy.
However, his amazement was fleeting.
Beauty at a certain level had no distinctions, only different characteristics.
Ye Chen still preferred Gu Yunyun.
So, meeting the Jade Pond Saint Master’s gaze, Ye Chen smiled lightly, “You’re too kind!”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Behind Ye Chen, Elder Wang Changchun of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land’s artifact department exclaimed, “So alike, truly so alike!”
The corners of the other Heavenly Origin Sacred Land elders’ mouths twitched, feeling rather embarrassed.
Everyone knew that their Elder Wang Changchun was a devoted admirer of the Jade Pond Saint Master’s mother.
Despite being rejected multiple times, he persisted, even spending three years crafting a Dao artifact for her, only to be turned down again.
His Dao heart was nearly shattered.
Upon seeing the Jade Pond Saint Master, his old feelings resurfaced.
The Jade Pond Saint Master smiled lightly at Elder Wang Changchun, “Greetings, Elder Wang. My mother often speaks of you, saying you are a good man!”
Hearing this, Elder Wang’s eyes welled with emotion, “She still mentions me…”
Ye Chen sighed inwardly.
His Elder Wang was a true simp, even receiving a “good man card” from the woman’s daughter and still being moved.
This was just a brief interlude, passing with a smile.
The group then proceeded to the Jade Pond’s guest hall.
In front of them was Jade Pond, brimming with spiritual energy.
The group sat down and exchanged pleasantries.
The members of Jade Pond Sacred Land were especially warm.
Surrounded by so many beautiful women, one couldn’t help but feel at ease.
Yet, Ye Chen noticed the Jade Pond Saint Master’s gaze on him was somewhat peculiar.
However, Ye Chen didn’t pay much attention to it.
He had come to Jade Pond Sacred Land because Jade Pond Sacred Land was most familiar with the Eastern Sea.
They would surely know the whereabouts of the demon kings.
After gathering this information, Ye Chen planned to head straight to the demon kings, subdue them, and wipe out the Deity Transformation true demons.
He would then go directly to Penglai Island to reunite Daoist Huangpu with his brother Xue Jiumo, and make preparations for expanding into the Mingwang Province market.
Just as he was about to inquire about the main matter, a mature woman entered the hall, apologizing, “Friends, I apologize for not greeting you earlier. Please forgive me.”
This woman’s aura was terrifying but slightly weak, evidently the injured mid-stage Deity Transformation Supreme Elder.
Ye Chen stood up with a smile, “No need for formalities, Elder.”
This Elder was also extremely beautiful.
Given the beauty of the female cultivators in Jade Pond Sacred Land, if a typical harem protagonist encountered them, he could spend over a thousand chapters just building a harem here, from junior sisters to Holy Maiden to the Saint Master, even including the Supreme Elder.
The Supreme Elder looked at Ye Chen with a kind smile, but her expression soon changed to one of shock, “Daoist Ye, your cultivation…”
The people of Jade Pond Sacred Land were stunned.
The Jade Pond Saint Master smiled, explaining to the Supreme Elder, “Elder, you’ve been healing, so you might not know that Daoist Ye has already broken through to the Deity Transformation Realm.
“Daoist Ye achieved Deity Transformation seven months ago and even slew mid-stage Deity Transformation Xue Jiumo, causing a sensation in all of Great Yan Province.”
However, the Supreme Elder’s expression of shock did not diminish, “I was already astonished when Daoist Ye broke through to the Deity Transformation Realm.”
The Jade Pond Saint Master was puzzled, “You know, so why are you still surprised?”
The Supreme Elder then continued, “But Daoist Ye, when did you break through to the mid-stage of Deity Transformation?”
As the Supreme Elder finished speaking…
The entire hall fell silent.
The Jade Pond Saint Master and others stiffly turned her head, staring at Ye Chen in disbelief. Mid-stage Deity Transformation?
How could this be?
The Saint Master had only broken through to the Deity Transformation stage seven months ago.
How could he possibly have broken through again so quickly?
The elder must have made a mistake.
However, Ye Chen smiled slightly, “During my battle with Xue Jiumo, I had an epiphany and luckily broke through…”
The elders of Heavenly Origin Sacred Land lowered their heads in silence.
Their Saint Master always gave the same reason after a breakthrough.
It’s absurd to get an epiphany while beating someone up.
Among all cultivators, only their Saint Master could manage that!
Hearing Ye Chen’s confirmation, the already wide eyes of all the female cultivators in Jade Pond Sacred Land grew even wider.
The Heavenly Origin Saint Master had really broken through?
In just seven months?
Achieving mid-stage Deity Transformation?
This is unbelievable!
The female cultivators of Jade Pond looked at Ye Chen with even more fervor.
Even the Jade Pond Saint Master had a complex emotion in her beautiful eyes.
Such a genius—why does he already have a Dao companion?
How fortunate Gu Yunyun is.
What a pity.
The Jade Pond Supreme Elder was the most shocked of all.
As a powerful cultivator in the Deity Transformation Realm, she understood the difficulty of breakthroughs.
It took her two hundred years to go from early to mid-stage Deity Transformation.
For any Deity Transformation stage cultivator, seeing Ye Chen achieve this in seven months was hard to accept.
Those with less stable minds might have their Dao hearts shattered.
Ye Chen’s breakthrough speed was simply too ridiculous.
After a long while, the Supreme Elder managed a bitter smile, “Daoist Ye, I was out of line!”
“May I ask when the esteemed Elder Tianque and your master will arrive?”
When the conversation turned to serious matters, the Supreme Elder’s face brightened with a smile.
Ye Chen’s breakthrough was wonderful news for Jade Pond Sacred Land.
With Ye Chen’s strength, dealing with the mid-stage Deity Transformation eight-armed demon ape would be easy.
Despite her own injuries, teaming up with Ye Chen’s master Nangong Wan to hold off another mid-stage Deity Transformation fishman chief would be no trouble.
Elder Tianque, in the late Deity Transformation Realm, would handle the golden lion king.
Even if they couldn’t kill it, once Ye Chen and she were done with their opponents, they could join forces.
No matter how strong or invincible the golden lion king’s bloodline powers were, it would still fall.
The Jade Pond Supreme Elder had planned everything well, but Ye Chen shook his head, “Elder Tianque and my master are both in seclusion.”
Ye Chen’s words left the Supreme Elder stunned.
The Jade Pond Saint Master and others were also bewildered.
They had expected three Deity Transformation cultivators from Heavenly Origin Sacred Land. But it turned out only the Heavenly Origin Saint Master had come?
Seeing their reactions, Ye Chen smiled confidently, “Elder, just tell me the locations of the three demon kings, and I will take care of it!”
Ye Chen’s confidence made the Supreme Elder sigh inwardly.
Geniuses were always confident, but treating three Deity Transformation demon kings as nothing was a bit too arrogant.
The Supreme Elder sincerely advised, “Daoist Ye, those two mid-stage Deity Transformation demon kings aside, the golden lion king is extremely terrifying. It possesses the bloodline of the ancient three-eyed divine lion. Its vertical eye on the forehead, once opened, has a binding force, and its terrifying divine light can obliterate everything. I was gravely injured by a single strike from it, unable to resist. Moreover, it is said that when the golden lion’s vertical eye fully opens, it forms an absolute domain, capable of annihilating the soul. Therefore, Saint Master, please do not act rashly. It would be better to wait until our Elder Qingcheng returns or your Elder Tianque emerges from seclusion before making a decision.”
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
The golden lion king even had an ancient divine beast bloodline.
Yet, he remained undaunted, “Supreme Elder, just tell me the demon king’s location.”
The Supreme Elder sighed and looked at the Saint Master.
She was unwilling to let Ye Chen go.
Ye Chen had come to aid Jade Pond Sacred Land and was indebted to them.
She couldn’t let him go into such danger.
Meanwhile, the Jade Pond Saint Master’s gaze softened, even becoming affectionate.
She hadn’t expected Ye Chen to care so much.
Despite the two Deity Transformation elders of Heavenly Origin Sacred Land being in seclusion, he still led several Nascent Soul elders here, risking danger to resolve Jade Pond Sacred Land’s crisis.
This touched her deeply, as if struck by divine lightning.
Thus, the Jade Pond Saint Master’s eyes grew more tender, “Daoist Ye, could we have a private conversation?”
The Saint Master’s gaze made Ye Chen uncomfortable.
Something felt off.
But if she wanted a private conversation, could it be that there was some hidden truth about the Eastern Sea chaos?
