Chapter 40 No Interest

In the practice room, Ye Chen clasped his hands together, and with a seal, a brilliant light flashed from his fingertips.

As his fingers landed, the seal enveloped Ye Shuixian.

The seal became increasingly dazzling, but Ye Chen's complexion became paler.

The power of the divine body was incredibly strong, and awakening it artificially was extremely difficult. Fortunately, Ye Chen knew the method of awakening the divine body, and coupled with the power of the silver needles, it should be fine.

"Brother, why do I feel like my power is getting stronger, but there's no change in my realm?" Ye Shuixian's face, pale as snow, was filled with puzzlement.

She could feel that she could control the cold energy, and it was getting stronger and more majestic.

At this moment, she didn't feel like she had shattered her cultivation, but she no longer had a realm.

"The method of cultivation I'm guiding you through follows a different set of rules. You don't have no realm, but this realm is not the same as the realms of the Canglan Continent. Right now, you've achieved the Triple Body Refinement." Ye Chen explained.

There was a hint of envy in his eyes.

When he was reborn, it took him three days to recover his Triple Body Refinement using body refining and elixirs.

Yet Ye Shuixian, awakening the Profound Ice Divine Body, had broken through to the Triple Body Refinement in just a short time. This speed of cultivation was truly enviable.

It was no wonder that the North Sea Immortal Emperor could become one of the ten Immortal Emperors of the Xianwu Realm and possess such a terrifying divine body.

"Triple Body Refinement?" Ye Shuixian was somewhat puzzled, but she was shocked. The feeling of not having shattered her cultivation yet having a sense of Triple Body Refinement was a testament to the strength of these rules.

What shocked her even more was that this Triple Body Refinement seemed to have been condensed in just a moment.

Was this the potential that Ye Chen mentioned?

Was it this terrifying?

Ye Chen smiled faintly, "Sister, your potential is not limited to this realm. No one in the Canglan Continent is worthy of being your master."

Crack!

As Ye Chen spoke, the cold aura emanating from Ye Shuixian became even more terrifying. In an instant, she was frozen like an ice sculpture.

The thick layer of ice covered her entire body, her breath became faint, her eyes closed, as if she had become a sleeping beauty.

"So strong is the intent of the cold ice. The Profound Ice Divine Body is actually so terrifying!" Ye Chen's expression changed slightly.

Ye Shuixian's divine body seemed to be so strong that it exceeded his imagination. This instant awakening seemed to have an overwhelming feeling, freezing Ye Shuixian in an instant.

But Ye Chen didn't worry. He was only filled with joy. The stronger the divine body, the greater the potential, and the higher the heights that could be reached in the future.

At this moment, the stronger the cold aura, the more hopeful Ye Shuixian's future seemed. Perhaps she could rival the North Sea Immortal Emperor, or even produce a new North Sea Immortal Emperor. It was not impossible.

Ye Chen waved his hands continuously, pinching the seals. The brilliant seal became even brighter, like warm sunlight, enveloping Ye Shuixian.

The terrifying ice began to melt layer by layer, gradually returning into Ye Shuixian's body.

Several hours later, the ice covering Ye Shuixian's body finally melted away. However, Ye Shuixian still had her eyes closed, looking peaceful as if she were sleeping.

"Hoo!" Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Although his complexion was extremely pale, he was still happy to have awakened Ye Shuixian's divine body.

"Your divine body is too strong. Trying to forcibly awaken it, the power cannot dissipate in a short time. Sleep well. When you wake up, you might be at the peak of Triple Body Refinement and ready to open your meridians." Ye Chen whispered, then walked out of the practice room.

The divine body had been fully awakened, and the rest was up to Ye Shuixian to digest slowly.

"Little Young Master, someone wants to see you." As Ye Chen walked out of the practice room, Wu Qingxue immediately approached and spoke.

"Who?" Ye Chen asked.

"The dean of Xuantian Academy sent someone to summon you." Wu Qingxue replied.

"Oh?" Ye Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He had some speculations in his heart, hoping that it wasn't what he thought. He didn't want Ye Shuixian to be in trouble.

"I'll go." Ye Chen said.

Wu Qingxue followed, but Ye Chen said, "You stay here."

With Ye Feng and Ye Shuixian both in seclusion, no one was left to guard them. Ye Chen wasn't reassured, especially considering that there might be people in the academy who still wanted to target him.

"But..." Wu Qingxue looked worried.

The dean of Xuantian Academy, Ouyang Qianzhong, was a True Martial Ninth Stage expert, definitely one of the top figures in the empire. She was worried about Ye Chen's safety.

"Don't worry. Even if they want to harm me, it's not that easy." Ye Chen said calmly, then went alone towards Ouyang Qianzhong's direction.

When Ye Chen arrived at Ouyang Qianzhong's location, the disciples let him through and led him into a courtyard.

The courtyard was very spacious, with only a stone table, which looked rather plain.

At this moment, sitting beside the stone table was a middle-aged man.

This person was none other than the dean of Xuantian Academy, Ouyang Qianzhong, a True Martial Ninth Stage expert who was just one step away from reaching the peak of True Martial Realm. However, this one step kept him from entering.

"Take a seat." Ouyang

 Qianzhong gestured to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen did not hesitate to sit down, facing the dean of the academy. He didn't show any nervousness or restraint like the other disciples. Instead, he seemed to have a feeling of peerage.

The disciple who had led Ye Chen into the courtyard couldn't help but snort disdainfully at his refusal.

Refusal?

He actually refused to become the dean's personal disciple?

My god, that's the dean taking in a disciple. In the entire empire, there were countless people who wanted to be taken in by the dean, and he actually refused.

Do you know what this refusal means?

It means letting go of the supreme status and honor.

You don't want it, can you give it to me?

At this moment, the disciple wanted nothing more than to rush up and kill Ye Chen.
