Chapter 146: Breaking Through to the Saint Martial Realm

The Endless Palace.

Ye Chen and the others were still in seclusion, paying no attention to external affairs.

Meanwhile, Yin Zhantian was busy dealing with various matters.

The Endless Palace had just been established, and there were numerous tasks to handle, big and small. Both Ye Chen and Ye Feng were in seclusion, leaving everything to Yin Zhantian, making him feel overwhelmed, as if the Endless Palace was established by him alone.

Recruiting disciples was relatively simple, as there were strict standards in place, and no amount of pleading was effective.

However, many families were trying various methods to gain Yin Zhantian's approval for the dominion over cities and pools, especially for Ziyin and Lianyou. They either made numerous promises to Yin Zhantian or offered many benefits.

This made Yin Zhantian very troubled.

It wasn't because it was difficult to make a decision, but because he was afraid that his decision would make Ye Wujin think he was favoring certain individuals and forming cliques.

"Sigh, being an elder of a sect is really not easy," Yin Zhantian sighed softly, rubbing his forehead in a temple.

Unlike a family, being an elder of a sect meant that he couldn't make all decisions by himself. Otherwise, it would inevitably make the sect leader suspicious.

He had to ensure that the sect leader had no doubts while keeping the Lower Three Abyss stable. This was not an easy task.

Yin Zhantian walked into the main hall.

Yin Zhantian looked up, a smile appearing on his face. "Have you broken through again?"

Yin Zhantian's talent was quite good. He had already reached the Double Realm of Emperor Martial at the age of nineteen, making him one of the top geniuses in the Nine Abyss.

"I sparred with the Ye family brothers, which greatly benefited me. My understanding of swordsmanship has become deeper, allowing me to break through smoothly," Yin Zhantian said with a smile.

The Ye family brothers, having received guidance from Ye Chen and possessing sword techniques, were far superior in swordsmanship compared to many others at the same realm. It wasn't surprising that Yin Zhantian gained something from sparring with them.

"All members of the Ye family are extraordinary," Yin Zhantian sighed lightly.

"Grandfather, we are preparing to go out and gain experience. We've come to bid you farewell," Yin Zhantian said.

"Go ahead, work hard, and don't miss any opportunities," Yin Zhantian advised.

Now that the Endless Palace had just been established, there were only a few Emperor Martial and Alchemy Emperors under the age of twenty in the Lower Three Abyss. With time, they would become elders of the sect if Yin Zhantian recognized them, which would be a great achievement.

If Yin Zhantian continued to grow and gained Ye Wujin's recognition, he would surely achieve great things in the future.

As he was getting older, Yin Zhantian's hopes for the Yin family were all placed on Yin Zhantian.

"Grandfather, rest assured, your grandson will work hard in cultivation and will not slack off," Yin Zhantian said solemnly.

Yin Zhantian's expression turned serious, and he asked, "Grandfather, you have been very tired recently. Is there something on your mind?"

Yin Zhantian smiled bitterly. "It's just some matters in the Lower Three Abyss. You can go now."

Yin Zhantian did not leave but continued, "Grandfather, you have changed. In the Yin family, you used to be decisive and resolute, never hesitating. But recently, you have become very hesitant."

Yin Zhantian's eyes widened in surprise. Had he become hesitant?

It seemed so.

In the past, he was decisive as the head of the Yin family, willing to gamble the fate of the entire family without hesitation.

But now, for the matters of some small families, he had become hesitant.

"An elder of a sect is not the same as the head of a family," Yin Zhantian sighed.

"What are you hesitating about, Grandfather?" Yin Zhantian asked.

Yin Zhantian smiled and did not respond. He would handle these matters himself, and Yin Zhantian's focus should be on cultivation.

"Although I don't know what Grandfather is hesitating about, I know that if Grandfather is so hesitant, it may be difficult for you to bear the burden given by Lord Ye Wujin," Yin Zhantian said seriously.

Yin Zhantian's pupils contracted slightly.

Yin Zhantian continued, "Grandfather should show the courage you had in the past to demonstrate your abilities and share the worries for Lord Ye Wujin. As long as our Yin family is loyal to the Endless Palace, what else do you have to fear?"

"Things are not that simple," Yin Zhantian shook his head.

There were hundreds of families, big and small, in the Lower Three Abyss. If he appointed the dominion over cities and pools arbitrarily, would Ye Wujin think he was showing favoritism?

Even if he had no ulterior motives, some things were not easy to decide.

"What Yin Zhantian said is correct. Things are just that simple."

Just then, a voice drifted over, and in the next moment, Ye Chen appeared in the main hall.

Yin Zhantian and Yin Zhantian hurriedly greeted him. When they sensed Ye Chen's aura, their pupils constricted, and Yin Zhantian exclaimed in shock, "This is the aura of the Triple Realm of Saint Martial!"

Yin Zhantian was startled, and the exclamation also attracted many others.

Ye Long, Ye Qian, Ye Dong, and others, all showed expressions of shock, especially others, who were petrified on the spot.

It had only been half a month, and Ye Chen had broken through to the realm of Saint Martial, and even the Triple Realm of Saint Martial.

This cultivation speed, even if compared to all the geniuses in the Nine Abyss, was considered top-notch.

Breaking through to the Saint Martial realm in just half a month, and even breaking through three times in a row to reach the Triple Realm of Saint Martial.

Everyone felt speechless.

Ye Long, Ye Qian, Ye Dong, and others, who were also top geniuses, were also stunned.

Their cultivation speeds were already very fast. Ye Dong had also reached the Double Realm of Emperor Martial, and Ye Qian and Ye Dong had also broken through to the Emperor Martial realm. Among their peers, they were considered rare talents.

But compared to Ye Chen, their speed was like that of a snail's.

"Compared to whom? You can't even compare to this monster," Ye Chen said with a shake of his head, causing everyone to feel blood rushing to their heads.

Heaven, was this still considered slow? What would be considered fast then?

This was a blow that would kill someone. Wasn't it asking for trouble?

Ye Chen shook his head. He was really dissatisfied with this level of recovery.

With hundreds of millions of spirit stones, he had expected to recover to the middle stage of the Transcendent Realm. He didn't expect to be stuck at the Triple Realm

 of the Transcendent Realm. The spirit stones were still not as effective as the primordial stones, and the difference was too great.

He didn't need to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth like other martial artists did. As long as he had enough primordial energy, he could break through. It could be said that he had no bottlenecks in his cultivation journey.

However, even so, he had only recovered to the Triple Realm of the Transcendent Realm. How could anyone be satisfied with that?
