Chapter 149: Return to Huoyou

Deep within the Infinite Palace, in the forbidden area.

Ye Shuixian sat cross-legged here, immersed in her cultivation.

Her body was covered with layers of frost, and the surrounding space was losing its chill, as if being completely absorbed by her.

The hundred thousand snowy mountains gradually melted away due to her cultivation, and the coldness diminished sharply.

"Sixth stage of Yuanfu already? Her cultivation speed is truly enviable."

Outside the forbidden area, Ye Chen suddenly appeared, feeling Ye Shuixian's aura, with a wry smile on his face.

Three months ago, Ye Shuixian had just entered the sixth stage of Yuanfu, and in just three months, she had condensed five more Yuanfu, a cultivation speed that even compared to his own was remarkable.

It's worth noting that he relied on his understanding of the rules of the realm from his previous life. With enough primordial qi, he could easily recover.

But Ye Shuixian was different. She practiced diligently, yet still achieved such cultivation speed, which was truly astonishing and admirable.

The Profound Ice Divine Body is indeed extraordinary.

Suddenly, the sound of breaking came from within Ye Shuixian's body, and the vast coldness flowed into her body like rivers converging into the sea, accumulating bit by bit, condensing bit by bit.

"Is she about to break through?"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, a smile on his face.

Indeed, Ye Shuixian's momentum was climbing, as if she were about to break through the bottleneck of the sixth stage of Yuanfu and condense the seventh Yuanfu.

However, the bottleneck of the sixth stage seemed extremely solid, difficult to break through. The vast primordial qi, like a blocked flood, was difficult to break open and could not condense into a new Yuanfu.

Ye Shuixian gathered all her strength, but the vast primordial qi began to recede, making her somewhat anxious.

If she couldn't condense the seventh Yuanfu this time, she might have to wait a long time again.

"Keep calm, open up the six Yuanfu completely, and try again." Suddenly, Ye Chen's voice came into her ears.

Ye Shuixian was slightly stunned, opening her eyes to see Ye Chen smiling at her. He formed several seals with his fingers, and the coldness in the forbidden area boiled instantly, rushing crazily into her body.

Ye Shuixian only felt the retreating primordial qi becoming even more majestic, as if her whole person had become a part of the primordial qi, soaring in the sea.

Surprised and delighted, she quickly calmed her mind, completely opening the six Yuanfu, guiding the vast primordial qi to flow through her body, breaking through layer after layer of bottlenecks.

If her previous impact was like a stream, then at this moment, it was like a flood bursting a dam, extremely fierce, constantly breaking through the bottleneck and beginning to condense Yuanfu.

There was no suspense; the seventh Yuanfu condensed successfully. Ye Shuixian felt her divine consciousness becoming clear, feeling extremely comfortable and content.

"Brother Dust."

Ye Shuixian looked at Ye Chen with joy.

"Not bad. At this rate, it won't be long before you can communicate with the stars and break through to Huoyou." Ye Chen was also delighted. Ye Shuixian was the person he had the highest expectations for since his rebirth.

With the full activation of the Profound Ice Divine Body, she would one day ascend to the level of Immortal Emperor, or even the peak Immortal Emperor.

It would be interesting if two Northern Sea Immortal Emperors appeared in the Immortal Martial Realm.

"Brother Dust, are you leaving again?" Ye Shuixian asked.

Ye Chen nodded, "There's a good place I want to visit."

He was referring to the secret realm in Mo Wenjian's sword.

"Can you take me with you? Cultivation in seclusion is too boring." Ye Shuixian looked at Ye Chen expectantly. Although three months of seclusion wasn't long, she also wanted to go out and explore.

But Ye Chen shook his head. "Time for the Ye Family is tight. Father is practicing all day, and you can't slack off either."

Ye Shuixian looked disappointed.

After all, she was just a seventeen-year-old girl, naturally still somewhat childish, especially in front of her closest person.

"When you refine the coldness of the hundred thousand snowy mountains or break through to Immortal Martial, I'll take you on an adventure." Ye Chen smiled.

"Is that a promise?" Ye Shuixian asked with a smile. In one moment, she looked aggrieved, and in the next, she was smiling brightly. Her change in mood was indeed quick.

"Of course it's a promise."

Ye Chen nodded with a smile, then said, "Sis, I have a set of martial skills called the 'Supreme Xuan Cold Sword Technique,' divided into three moves. While practicing, you can try to comprehend them."

"The Supreme Xuan Cold Sword Technique, what rank of martial skill is that?" Ye Shuixian's eyes lit up.

Until now, besides rapid progress in her cultivation level, she hadn't practiced any martial skills. In battle, she could only rely on her innate elemental qi, making her combat power inadequate.

"If we're talking about the rules of this world, it's at the Immortal Martial level. With these three sword techniques, you'll be able to dominate this realm." Ye Chen smiled.

"So powerful!" Ye Shuixian exclaimed. To dominate a realm, that seemed incredibly strong.

Ye Chen shrugged indifferently, "Sis, you're my dear sister. Can't you broaden your horizons a bit? This is just a transitional phase. Someday, when you cultivate true Immortal techniques, won't you be even more excited?"

"Tch, Immortal techniques, where in this world can you find Immortal techniques?" Ye Shuixian was skeptical. Immortal Martial was already the pinnacle of this world. Even if Ye Chen had some extraordinary encounters, could he surpass this realm?

Ye Chen just smiled faintly, not explaining further. He just left a sentence, "Focus on your cultivation. When I come back, I hope you'll have reached Huoyou."

Ye Chen stayed in the Infinite Palace for another three days.

He waited for Lin Miaoyin to recover and for Wu Qingxue to come out of seclusion.

During these three days, the situation in the lower three realms stabilized completely.

Yin Zheng'an's strength was not bad; he handled everything properly. However, there was no progress in recruiting disciples. After all, there were few geniuses in the lower three realms who could meet Ye Chen's requirements.

So far, besides Yin Zhantian and Ye Long, there were only four disciples: two martial practitioners and two alchemy emperors, one from Ziyou and one from Lianyou. These four seemed to have recently broken through, relying on alchemy resources to forcefully break through, just to enter the Infinite Palace.

Of course, Ye Chen didn't care how they broke through. Even if they were cripples, he was confident he could elevate them to Immortal Martial level.

During the three days, he

 personally lectured the four on the Dao, and they benefited greatly.

After three days, Wu Qingxue came out of seclusion, breaking through to the Alchemy Saint realm. Lin Miaoyin also fully recovered. Only then did Ye Chen leave Jinyou and head towards Huoyou territory.

Wu Jingtian also followed.

After all, he had promised to take Mo Qingqing away.

At the same time, at the Wan Dao Sword Sect.

There were changes in Mo Wenjian's condition. He seemed rejuvenated, showing no signs of nearing the end of his life or being poisoned by blood.

He seemed to be in his prime, full of vigor.

But the more so, the more worried Mo Wenjian and the others became.

"When will Ye Wuji arrive?" In the main hall, Mo Daohua's expression was heavy. His father was on the verge of death. If Ye Wuji didn't arrive soon, he might die at any moment.

"We received news from Jinyou that Ye Wuji has already set off and will arrive in these two days." Mo Li said.

"Hopefully, he arrives in time."

Mo Daohua spoke solemnly, "Prepare all the materials and keep the alchemy room open. Once Ye Wuji arrives, ask him to act as quickly as possible."

"Understood." Mo Li responded.

At that moment, a ray of light flashed in from outside. Mo Daohua reached out and grabbed it, and his expression changed instantly.

"What's wrong?" Mo Li frowned.

"Father's speculation was correct. The Alchemy Saint Palace has declared war on Huoyou. In three days, they will come to demand an explanation for the deaths of Murong Feng and Murong Yi." Mo Daohua said solemnly.

Mo Li's pupils contracted.

With his father's blood poison about to strike, if there were no changes, the Wan Dao Sword Sect wouldn't be able to withstand the might of the Alchemy Saint Palace in three days.

"We can only hope for Ye Wuji now." Mo Li said in a deep voice.
