Waiting until the grey-haired old man disappeared, Ye Chen flew over and cupped his hands towards Long Biyi, "Many thanks to Sect Leader Long for saving my life a second time."
Long Biyi retracted her oppressive aura and turned around, "Last time, I didn't tell you my identity because you still couldn't reach this level. But now, you're already the strongest existence among Astral Reaching experts. Stepping into Sea of Soul realm is only a matter of time."
"Junior understands."
Pausing for a bit, Long Biyi continued, "I can see that your progress in sword will is extraordinary. Let me ask you, have you condensed a sword soul?"
Condensing a sword soul at the Astral Reaching Realm was something that not many people had been able to do since the ancient times, and those who had been able to do it were all world-shaking figures. It should be known that condensing a sword soul was several times harder than condensing a martial soul. Not to mention condensing a sword soul at the Astral Reaching Realm, even a lot of powerful sword artists who had reached the Sea of Souls Realm years ago might not be able to successfully condense a sword soul. The more powerful it was, the more difficult it would be.
"Nope." Ye Chen denied, then changed his tone, "But, in terms of sword will, I'm not inferior to ordinary Sea of Soul realm sword artists."
"Could it be because of Battle King's immortal sword will?" Long Biyi didn't ask about the immortal sword will. Everyone had their own secrets, and people without secrets didn't exist. But, even if he had the immortal sword will, its might shouldn't be that great. Of course, she didn't know that Ye Chen's soul was also not inferior to ordinary Sea of Soul realm experts. Moreover, it was at the peak of Sea of Soul realm. A powerful soul and a powerful sword will were what made Ye Chen so powerful.
"Forget it. Peak geniuses all have extremely outstanding aspects. Perhaps, your achievements in sword will might surpass Battle King. Of course, the premise is that you can enter Life and Death realm." After saying these words, Long Biyi's face turned solemn, "South Rudra Region is my territory. I can guarantee that you won't be attacked by Sea of Soul realm experts. But, once you leave South Rudra Region, you'll have to rely on yourself. Even if you're chased by Sea of Soul realm experts, no one will save you. Luck is also a part of strength."
"Thank you for your concern, Sect Master Long. Ye Chen will keep this in mind."
The battle between Long Biyi and the grey-haired old man was earth-shattering. Ye Chen was very clear that although he had some advantages in certain aspects, in terms of battle power, he was far weaker than the grey-haired old man. Ordinary Sea of Soul realm experts were also divided into different levels. The weakest among them were undoubtedly those who had just entered the Sea of Soul realm and had yet to cultivate peak earth grade cultivation techniques or martial skills. They had yet to successfully condense their martial soul or sword soul. Sea of Soul realm experts of this level were definitely the lowest of existences. Their only advantage was the advantage of cultivation realm. Ye Chen had the confidence to contend against them.
Above them were those who had cultivated peak earth grade cultivation techniques, but had yet to reach perfection. Similarly, their peak earth grade martial skills had yet to reach perfection, and they couldn't create their own low grade profound sense martial skills. Even if they learned the low grade profound sense martial skills left behind by their predecessors, they wouldn't be that powerful. Ye Chen was confident that as long as he cultivated Green Lotus Sword Arts to the highest fifteenth layer, comprehended the ninth style of Green Lotus Sword Arts, and successfully condensed his sword soul, he would have the qualifications to battle.
After that would be the core strength of ordinary Sea of Soul realm experts. Their peak earth grade cultivation techniques and martial skills had all reached perfection, and their low grade profound sense martial skills were still in the process of comprehending.
After that would be the grey-haired old man's level. Not only had they cultivated their cultivation techniques and martial skills to perfection, they had also comprehended their own low grade profound sense martial skills. Moreover, they had also learned many kinds of low grade profound sense martial skills left behind by their predecessors. Their strength was extremely frightening.
As for Long Biyi's strength, Ye Chen couldn't analyze it, because he didn't know whether she had used her full strength or not. So, how could he analyze it?
"According to Battle King's rich knowledge, in the Sea of Soul realm, cultivation base accounts for thirty percent of the battle power, while martial spirit and martial skills are the key factors. The two together account for seventy percent." Long Biyi faintly nodded.
Ye Chen's temperament was steady, which made her feel at ease. Recalling something, she said, "You should know that I am not from Windy Nation, nor from South Rudra Region. The power I belong to is called Dragon God Celestial Palace. The palace master is my great grandfather, known as Dragon King. He is one of the oldest kings of True Spirit Continent. He thinks very highly of you, but he doesn't want to take you as his disciple. You have to walk your own path, and restricting you will only limit your potential. What I find strange is that he has taken a fancy to your Sky Cloud Sect's core elder, Xu Jing, and wishes to take her as his disciple. Of course, he doesn't want her to leave Sky Cloud Sect, but rather, he wants her to have two identities at the same time."
Long Biyi was a member of Dragon God Celestial Palace. From Battle King's rich knowledge, Ye Chen had long since learned that Dragon God Celestial Palace was a fifth grade sect. Apart from Dragon King's Dragon King Token, there was also the Little Dragon Token, which was usually in the hands of people with extremely high status. Even Dragon King's blood relatives had some. Long Biyi had the Little Azure Dragon Token, so she was undoubtedly an important person of Dragon God Celestial Palace.
What surprised him was that Dragon King actually took a fancy to Xu Jing and wanted to take her as his disciple. In Ye Chen's eyes, Xu Jing's talent and comprehension were undoubtedly top-notch. However, it had not reached the level where she could look down on everyone else. Dragon King didn't want to take anyone else as his disciple, but only her. The meaning behind it was not that simple.
Since Dragon King had spoken, Ye Chen naturally had no objections. Not to mention that Dragon King wouldn't harm Xu Jing, even if he did, Ye Chen wouldn't have the slightest way to do anything. As a dignified Life and Death King, one of the oldest Kings of True Spirit Continent, he held the life and death of millions and millions of people in his hands. His status was transcendent. If he wanted to take Xu Jing as his disciple, it would be a good thing for him at the moment.
"Sect Leader Long, this is a good thing. Why discuss it with me?"
Long Biyi smiled and said, "Seems like you still don't know. Grandfather values you very much. The necessary respect cannot be omitted."
"Then, I'll thank Senior Dragon King on behalf of Xu Jing."
"If there's nothing else, come back to Windy Nation with me! In a few days, someone from Dragon God Celestial Palace will come to pick up Xu Jing. "
"Alright."
…
Above the undulating mountain range, an unceasingly flickering beam of light swept past, shooting toward a distant floating mountain peak.
In the main palace of the floating mountain peak, Sikong Ba's brows creased.
Swish!
A figure appeared in the center of the palace.
"You're injured?" Not waiting for the newcomer to speak, Sikong Ba asked in astonishment.
The figure was precisely the grey-haired old man. He touched the wound on his chest and said with a gloomy expression, "We've all underestimated that person. Her strength is much higher than mine. I received a hand blade from her. Without three months of rest, I won't be able to recover."
"A hand blade? So powerful!"
As a mid Sea of Soul realm expert, Sikong Ba naturally knew how difficult it was to injure a Sea of Soul realm expert of the same level and then recuperate for half a year. Ordinary minor injuries didn't require three months of rest. One month was more than enough to recover.
"Her achievements in the water profound are extremely high. Moreover, she said that she would pay a visit to my Floating Mountain and asked me to inform you."
Hearing these words, Sikong Ba's complexion greatly changed, "Paying a visit to my Floating Mountain? What does she want?"
In terms of strength, although he was stronger than the grey-haired old man, there was a limit. If nothing unexpected happened, the strength of the expert behind Ye Chen was not below his. It was quite possible for them to attack the Floating Mountain. However, since the other party didn't chase after the grey-haired old man, it shouldn't be because of this.
"Sect Leader, I'll return to heal first."
With blood leaking out from the corner of his mouth, the grey-haired old man didn't want to stay any longer. He turned around and left. Before leaving, he shot out four beams of light, which were four upper grade artifacts.
Reaching out to catch them, Sikong Ba was speechless. The artifacts had returned, but the person hadn't. This was truly a huge loss.
Kacha!
With the armrest cracked, Sikong Ba coldly said, "Back then, my ancestor Cang King showed kindness to Prison King. It's time to repay this kindness. As long as a direct disciple of Prison King makes a move, you'll die without a burial no matter how powerful you are."
Prison King was one of the most powerful Kings under Xu King. He was as famous as Xuanhou, Evil King, and the rest. Nobody knew that when Prison King was weak, Cang King had helped him. After Cang King's death, Prison King sent a letter to Sikong clan, saying that he would help Sikong clan with three matters within his power.
"Hmph, since you want to pay a visit to my Floating Mountain, come! I'll make sure you don't return. "
A domineering voice reverberated in the main hall.
…
Originally, with Ye Chen's speed, it would have taken him at least a month to return to Windy Nation. However, with the support of Long Biyi's Zhen Yuan, it only took him five days.
"It's inconvenient for me to appear. You'll have to explain the matter with Xu Jing."
Several thousand li away from Sky Cloud Sect, Long Biyi said to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded, "I know."
"Then, I'll take my leave first. I'll help you settle your dispute with Floating Mountain."
As her voice faded, Long Biyi turned around and flew off.
"Many thanks."
Ye Chen naturally knew that Long Biyi was going to Floating Mountain. As long as Floating Mountain didn't give up on chasing after him, he would be in danger. This time, he had killed three extreme Astral Reaching experts. Next, it would be Sea of Soul realm experts chasing after him. The only ones who could stop Floating Mountain were Long Biyi and the Dragon God Celestial Palace behind her.
Letting out a breath, Ye Chen gazed in the direction of Sky Cloud Sect's Cool Breeze Mountain, then circulated his Zhen Yuan and shot over.
Because Ye Chen didn't conceal his Zhen Yuan fluctuations, Cloud Dreamer and Thunder Freer immediately sensed his return.
"Ye Chen, come to my Cloud Dreamer Peak." Cloud Dreamer transmitted through the air.
Cloud Dreamer Peak …
Both Cloud Dreamer and Thunder Freer were present.
"Ye Chen, you're back. I heard you were chased by four extreme Astral Reaching experts and fell into the Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone. It gave us quite a fright." Thunder Freer faintly smiled.
Ye Chen apologetically said, "I've let the two seniors worry."
"Hehe, it's good that you're back. Don't you think so, Cloud Dreamer?"
"Of course."
Ye Chen smiled. He could tell that the two seniors were truly concerned about him. It was not only because of his importance, but also because they considered him as a junior.
"Seniors, there's something I need to discuss with you. Dragon God Celestial Palace Master, Dragon King, wishes to take Xu Jing as his disciple."
"Dragon King wishes to take Xu Jing as his disciple?"
Cloud Dreamer and Thunder Freer were aghast.
"Yes."
"We don't have the final say in this matter. It's up to Xu Jing to agree."
"En." Ye Chen nodded. The decision was in Xu Jing's hands. Neither of them could make the decision.
