After successfully breaking through, Xiao Chen finished refining all the Yin Wind Stones in his possession a day later. He slowly opened his eyes while a wisp of a faint smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
Perfection of the Dao Emperor Realm. He finally had the qualifications to challenge the Hallowed Rankings. However, it was still a little too early to do so, and he still needed some time to stabilize his cultivation.
After all, even though Xiao Chen's cultivation was at the same level as the Chosen on the Hallowed Rankings, there was still a gap between them. No matter what, Xiao Chen had just broken through to perfection of the Dao Emperor Realm. On the other hand, the Chosen on the Hallowed Rankings had been at perfection of the Dao Emperor Realm for a few years at the very least.
His cultivation hadn't stabilized yet, so it wasn't the time to challenge the Hallowed Rankings for now. However, since he'd successfully broken through to perfection of the Dao Emperor Realm, then the following matters would be much simpler.
Moreover, after this breakthrough, even if Xiao Chen were to face Zhu Mujue, who was known as the first candidate, he would absolutely not be afraid of him. Even if he were to encounter Bai Qiuran, he wouldn't dare to say that he could defeat her, but at least he would be able to put up a fight. Moreover, if Xiao Chen wanted to leave, Bai Qiuran wouldn't be able to stop him.
The breakthrough in his cultivation allowed Xiao Chen to feel much more confident.
Right when Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes, the four women arrived before Xiao Chen and passed the remaining Yin Wind Stones to Xiao Chen. Their intentions were very clear. They hoped that Xiao Chen would use these Yin Wind Stones to stabilize his cultivation as soon as possible.
Xiao Chen smiled at the four women's kindness. "You can keep it for yourselves. Now that I want to stabilize my cultivation base, it's no longer enough to rely on the Yin Wind Stone. I need time to settle down."
Xiao Chen was right. Xiao Chen had already stabilized the areas that needed to be stabilized. As for the rest, he could only rely on time to slowly stabilize them. Moreover, after his cultivation had broken through, Xiao Chen felt that he had too few Martial Skills, especially Sacred Level Martial Skills. He thought that after the Heavenly Yin Valley was over, he should go to the Martial Skills Hall of the Heavenly Yin Taiyang Sect to take a look.
After all, the number of Saint-level martial arts techniques collected by a Supreme Saint Sect should not be too small. Moreover, the Saint-level martial arts techniques that Xiao Chen had mastered, whether it was the Jiu Luo Sword Qi or the Fish Intestine Sword Finger, were only low-level Saint-level martial arts techniques. If he could cultivate a mid-level Saint-level martial arts technique, it would be obvious that Xiao Chen's combat strength would increase.
He did not accept the Yin Wind Stones from the four women. First of all, the Yin Wind Stones were extremely useful to the four women. Everyone had to improve after entering the Heavenly Yin Valley. Moreover, compared to him, the cultivation of the four women was indeed a little lower, especially Qin Shuirou, Hundred Flower Fairy, and Gu Lingyao.
Under Xiao Chen's persuasion, the four women finally put away their respective Yin Wind Stones. Because the others had not finished cultivating, Xiao Chen was basically responsible for guarding them for the rest of the time.
He had finished refining all his Yin Wind Stones, and his cultivation had broken through to the perfection-stage of the Dao Emperor Realm. It was indeed difficult for him to make any progress in a short period of time. Thus, Xiao Chen naturally took the initiative to play the role of guard.
With Xiao Chen's protection, the others were naturally much more at ease when they cultivated. Not to mention anything else, Yun Kunyao and Bai Qiuran, the two Chosen on the Hallowed Rankings, hadn't entered the Heavenly Yin Valley this time. Without the two of them, Xiao Chen could be considered as one of the top figures in the entire Heavenly Yin Valley. Even if he encountered Zhu Mujue, Xiao Chen could still stand against him. Moreover, his chances of victory were very high.
So, with Xiao Chen by their side, not to mention anything else, they should be able to do whatever they wanted in the Heavenly Yin Valley. Even if they were suppressed by numbers and couldn't defeat them, they were completely capable of retreating calmly. They didn't have to worry about their safety anymore.
Everyone cultivated bitterly within the quiet forest. A few more days passed, and they'd finished refining all the Yin Wind Stones they'd been allocated.
At this point, they'd finished refining all the Yin Wind Stones they'd obtained from the culvert. But regretfully, Chen Ling, Long Qing, Chen Yu, and Tian Yue hadn't been able to break through, and they were still stuck at the perfection-stage of the Dao Emperor Realm.
The four of them weren't like Xiao Chen who'd broken through to the perfection-stage of the Dao Emperor Realm in one go. However, with their current cultivations, it probably wouldn't be difficult for them to break through if they gathered more Yin Wind Stones.
Besides the four of them, everyone else had obtained some gains this time. Moreover, along with their breakthroughs, the Sacred Palace's strength had naturally been strengthened once more, and it couldn't be compared to before at all.
They had been here for almost half a month, and it was time for them to leave. Therefore, after everyone had finished cultivating, they rested for only a day before Xiao Chen led them out of the forest and continued their journey to the depths of the Heavenly Yin Valley.
The closer they got to the depths, the more Yin Wind Stones there were. In the next few days, Xiao Chen's group naturally obtained quite a few more Yin Wind Stones, and Xiao Chen didn't take the majority of the Yin Wind Stones. Instead, he distributed them equally, so everyone obtained the same amount of Yin Wind Stones.
They didn't encounter any danger all along the way. Even though they did encounter some disciples from the other sects, no battles broke out between them.
Of course, because of their strength, the Sacred Palace wasn't afraid of fighting with any other sects. Just Xiao Chen alone was sufficient to deter the other sects.
A few days passed peacefully. At this moment, Xiao Chen's group had completely entered the depths of the Heavenly Yin Valley's estate.
The amount of Yin Wind Stones here had indeed increased by quite a bit. On this day, Xiao Chen's group discovered that there were actually a few dozen Yin Wind Stones of various sizes at the bottom of a huge ancient tree.
This ancient tree was extremely huge, but it had branches and no leaves. The entire tree trunk and branches were jet-black in color, as if they were made of steel.
It was a very strange tree. Perhaps this was related to the environment of the Heavenly Yin Valley. Just as Xiao Chen's group was about to collect the Yin Wind Stones, a cold shout suddenly sounded.
"Put them down if you don't want to die."
Following this cold shout, a group of over a hundred people flew over from afar and quickly landed in front of Xiao Chen's group.
The disciples of the main branch … When Xiao Chen saw the group of more than a hundred people, he immediately recognized that they were disciples of the main branch. At the same time, the disciples of the main branch also recognized Xiao Chen and the others. The leader of the group, a prospective Chosen, sneered and said, "Don't worry, we're all disciples of the main branch.
"So it's the Sacred Palace faction. I didn't expect you to dare to come so deep into this place. Good, looks like it's really a case of searching high and low only to find it by chance."
