Xu Jing seemed to have long since known that Dragon King wanted to take her as a disciple. Therefore, when Ye Chen arrived at the Core Elder Hall and informed her of his purpose, she was not too surprised. She merely nodded and asked, "In the past half a year, news about you has been spreading everywhere. Are you alright?"
Ye Chen smiled, "How could I be alright? On the other hand, you don't seem to care much about Dragon King taking you as a disciple."
"Actually, I've talked to Dragon King."
"You've met Dragon King?"
Xu Jing shook her head, "No, it was just a voice transmission. He said that if I want to know my background, I must come to Dragon God Celestial Palace. In the whole world, perhaps only he knows my background. Moreover, he can't confirm it at the moment."
"Background!"
Hearing these words, Ye Chen became pensive. In all these years, he indeed hadn't heard Xu Jing talk about her family, and he hadn't asked about it either. It seemed that Xu Jing's background was not simple. It had actually drawn Dragon King's attention. Only, how did Dragon King notice it was too puzzling.
"If I told you that my memories before the age of ten were blank, would you believe me?" Xu Jing suddenly said.
Ye Chen was surprised. How was it possible to have a blank memory before he was ten years old? Unless he had been injured in the head and lost all of his memories, or someone had erased all of them. Both of these possibilities were extremely small, and it was the key to the problem.
"I only know that when I woke up, I had the appearance of a ten-year-old. I couldn't remember anything before, and I didn't even know who my parents were. Later on, my foster parents found me and brought me back to the Xu family. As their foster daughter, I got the name Xu Jing."
"Can you remember something now?"
Xu Jing muttered, "I can remember a little bit intermittently, but I can't link them together. Forget it. Since Senior Dragon King said that he might know something about my background, he'll know sooner or later, and I'll recover my memories."
"En!"
Ye Chen faintly nodded. Dragon King was one of the oldest Kings of True Spirit Continent, so he must know a lot. Even Battle King couldn't compare.
The next day, Dragon God Celestial Palace's people arrived.
There were three of them, led by a Sea of Soul realm expert in his thirties. His eyes were sharp, and his pupils were vertical. They didn't look like human eyes, but more like those of a beast. Although he had restrained his aura, in Ye Chen's perception, his every movement seemed to raise a huge wave that wanted to drown Sky Cloud Sect.
"Terrifying indeed. However, he's still no match for Sect Master Long. Sect Master Long's aura seems to be shrouded in a dense fog, making it hard for one to see through him."
Ye Chen shifted his gaze and looked at the two young men beside him.
These two were a man and a woman. The man was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, and the woman was also about the same age. Judging from their aura, they were clearly at the peak of late Astral Reaching realm. Moreover, their auras were extremely powerful. People with powerful auras didn't necessarily have powerful strength. It was just like the emperors in the secular world. Their strength might not be the highest, but as emperors, their auras were incomparably powerful. Those at the same level or stronger than them would be affected by their auras, unknowingly lowering their heads.
Generally speaking, people with powerful auras were bound to have powerful souls and wills. Of course, it was also related to their environment. There was a good saying, 'Better be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix'. It was a kind of aura, a kind of aura that was above others.
"Fifth grade Dragon God Celestial Palace is indeed not a small matter. Two random youngsters have auras that surpass Sikong Sheng, and are not inferior to Snowy Hall's disciple Feng Yanrou. Since Xu Jing can become Dragon King's disciple, her future achievements are guaranteed."
Sucking in a deep breath, Ye Chen went up to greet them, "I'm Supreme Elder Ye Chen of Sky Cloud Sect. And you are?"
"You're Ye Chen?" The young man looked straight at Ye Chen.
"That's right."
"Not bad. No wonder Senior Sister Long thinks so highly of you."
The young man didn't mean to look down on Ye Chen, but his tone gave off an old-fashioned feeling. It seemed to have become a habit of his. Faintly, there was also the arrogance of an expert.
"Don't mind him. He talks like this no matter who he talks to." The young woman beside him said.
Ye Chen faintly smiled, "Don't worry, I won't fuss over it."
"We are both teacher's disciples. Our teacher's identity is the honorable Dragon King of True Spirit Continent, the palace master of Dragon God Celestial Palace. This is my third senior brother Fang Hai. As for us two, because we haven't entered the Sea of Soul realm, we don't have a ranking. We are merely teacher's disciples. I'm Li Ying, and he's Luo Jie."
Li Ying introduced to Ye Chen.
"Senior brother Fang Hai, you don't mind me calling you like this, right?"
Although Ye Chen wasn't Dragon King's disciple, it didn't prevent him from calling this Sea of Soul realm expert senior brother. After all, Xu Jing would become Dragon King's disciple in the future, and he and Xu Jing were once disciples of the same generation.
This Fang Hai, who was in his thirties but still had the appearance of a young man, faintly smiled, "Of course I don't mind. Teacher once told me that your chances of entering the Life and Death realm are much higher than mine. I didn't believe it at first, but after seeing you in person, I believe it. I can hear a sword cry from your body, which is the sign of an extremely dense sword intent."
Fang Hai himself was a swordsman, so he could sense the sword intent hidden deep within Ye Chen.
"However, since teacher doesn't intend to take you as a disciple, he must have his own plans. Here, as teacher's third disciple, I have to remind you that South Rudra Region is only a very small region. The continent has four regions: Eastern Region, Southern Region, Western Region, and Northern Region. South Rudra Region is only one of the four regions, and it is very small. Being able to stand out in South Rudra Region is nothing. The geniuses outside are like the stars in the sky, countless. Every day, countless stars rise, and countless stars fall. If you want your star to blossom with a bright radiance, you will have a very long way to go. I, Fang Hai, have followed master for dozens of years, and have met countless geniuses. Some of them even shock me, and they are very frightening. For example, in our Southern Region, there are a few young geniuses that even made teacher sigh in admiration. I believe you will meet them in the future. Therefore, don't slack off in the slightest, and don't disappoint teacher."
It wasn't hard to see that Fang Hai was extremely respectful towards Dragon King. Since Dragon King thought highly of Ye Chen, Fang Hai treated Ye Chen as someone close to him and earnestly advised him.
"Many thanks for Senior Brother Fang Hai's warning. Ye Chen will keep it in mind." Ye Chen could vaguely sense Fang Hai's sword dao, which was as vast as the ocean.
"Oh right, Senior Brother Fang Hai, Sect Leader Long has already left for Floating Mountain. Is everything alright?"
Ye Chen suddenly asked.
Fang Hai smiled, "It's the second senior sister, right? She's fine. Back then, Prison King was indebted to Cang Emperor. After his death, Prison King promised to help Sikong family with three matters. Now, Sikong Ba must have contacted Prison King's direct disciple. Unfortunately, among the six disciples of Prison King, only the eldest disciple can suppress the second senior sister. Moreover, Prison King knows about teacher's actions in South Rudra Region. The direct disciple he sent is only there to coordinate, and won't fight.
"So it's like that!"
Ye Chen faintly nodded.
His eyes moved to Xu Jing, who was behind Ye Chen, and Fang Hai said, "Is this the junior sister disciple? Apart from cultivation base, there seems to be something else. "
Xu Jing said indifferently, "I specialize in strength."
"Specialize in strength? So that's how it is. Same as teacher."
Fang Hai revealed a rather astonishing fact to Ye Chen. One of the oldest Kings of True Spirit Continent, Dragon King, actually specialized in strength. The knowledge Battle King had imparted to him didn't mention this.
"It's getting late. Junior sister, follow us back to Dragon God Celestial Palace!"
Fang Hai said.
Xu Jing glanced at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen revealed a faint smile, "Go! We'll meet again soon. "
"That's not necessarily true. With teacher's guidance, our progress is not something you can imagine. If you don't redouble your efforts, you'll be eliminated."
Luo Jie said indifferently.
"Junior brother Luo, consider your words carefully. Ye Chen, we'll take our leave first." Fang Hai waved his hand, and Sea of Soul realm Zhen Yuan wrapped around Luo Jie, Li Ying, and Xu Jing. Then, with ten times the speed of sound, they disappeared into the horizon.
Waiting until the four left, Cloud Dreamer said, "The direction is South Rudra Sect. There should be a conveyor gate there. I should have thought of it long ago."
"Conveyor gate!"
Ye Chen wasn't a stranger to this term. He had experienced many conveyances himself, and was already used to this kind of spatial conveyance. However, constructing a conveyor gate was not a simple matter. The builder had to be a Life and Death King, and the conveyor gate's material had to be extremely sturdy, capable of withstanding the space's backlash. As for the energy, it was even more extraordinary. In the entire True Spirit Continent, apart from Xu King, who had once obtained an incomplete supreme grade spirit vein, supreme grade spirit stones were extremely precious to Life and Death Kings. They couldn't be casually used to construct conveyor gates.
"Dragon King is indeed Dragon King. The aptitudes of those two young disciples are probably only comparable to you, Ye Chen. It's said that apart from the five Sea of Soul realm disciples, Dragon King has a lot of Astral Reaching disciples. I wonder what kind of geniuses Dragon God Celestial Palace has."
Thunder Freer had a sad look on his face.
Ye Chen smiled and asked, "Seniors, how has Sky Cloud Sect been developing these years?"
"Thanks to you, the Sky Cloud Martial School is getting more and more prosperous. Within ten years, we will have a huge batch of top Clasping Yuan Realm warriors and Astral Reaching Realm warriors." Talking about the development of the Sky Cloud Martial School, Cloud Dreamer and Thunder Freer were full of smiles.
"That's good. I plan to go home and then leave South Rudra Region. I'll leave Sky Cloud Sect to you two seniors."
"Don't worry! You should be careful when you're outside alone. "
"I know."
…
In Floating Mountain, a beam of light flew out.
"Ye Chen, I've already given you a stable base. From now on, you'll have to rely on yourself." Long Biyi said inwardly.
Shua!
The beam of light flickered and soon disappeared.
Floating Mountain Main Palace …
I can see that Sikong Sheng's potential is very good, and it's not like he doesn't have the chance to enter the Life and Death Realm. As for other irrelevant matters, it's best if you don't interfere, lest you bring trouble upon yourself and ruin Floating Mountain Mountain's ten thousand years of foundation. En, this conveyor gate has two more uses. After those two uses, it will collapse on its own. Don't waste teacher's kindness carelessly. If there are two more uses, teacher won't care about you anymore. "
Taking a step forward, the youngster entered the conveyor gate's whirlpool.
Waiting until the youngster left, Sikong Ba's face turned dejected as he ordered, "Send the order. From now on, Floating Mountain Sect and Ye Chen's grudges are written off. Don't provoke Sky Cloud Sect, Ye family, and South Rudra Sect. Violators will be killed without mercy.
All of you, step down! "This result was completely out of Sikong Ba's expectations. The expert behind Ye Chen was actually Dragon King's second disciple, and also a direct descendant of Dragon King. Not to mention Floating Mountain Sect was only a sixth grade sect, even a fifth grade sect with Life and Death Kings couldn't compare to Dragon God Celestial Palace. Dragon King was one of the strongest Kings under Xu King, and also one of the oldest Kings.
