"Fifth step Destruction Sword Soul … This is a genuine King Sword Soul. Be it in essence or might, it has reached the King level."
In the past, although the peak fourth step Destruction Sword Soul had the might of an ordinary peak fifth step Sword Soul and could be considered as a King Sword Soul, peak fourth step was still peak fourth step. There would always be some difference. But now, the Destruction Sword Soul had advanced to the fifth step, and its essence was a fifth step Sword Soul, one level higher than peak fourth step. As for its might, it was equivalent to an ordinary sixth step Sword Soul.
"Fifth step is King Sword Soul, sixth step is peak King Sword Soul, and seventh step is Emperor Sword Soul. Each step is harder than the previous one, and its might increases by several folds. Right now, in terms of will, I'm not much weaker than a peak King. At most, I'm a bit weaker in application."
Ye Chen was very clear on how frightening a fifth step Destruction Sword Soul was. Before, without using the Defensive Sword Art, his strength was more or less the same as Master Sky Sword, only a bit stronger in defense. But now, with a fifth step Destruction Sword Soul, he could easily kill his opponent in a few moves.
"Let's test its might first."
Standing in front of a rockery, Ye Chen's forehead slightly swelled, emitting a layer of jade-like black light. In the next moment, a faint black illusory sword image shot out and swept across the rockery, so fast that it seemed like an illusion.
The rockery and the space around it slightly distorted. Then, with a puff, the dozens of meters tall rockery was disintegrated into fine powder by the frightening sword intent. Because the speed of destruction was too fast, the rockery maintained its existence for a few blinks of an eye until it couldn't support its own weight anymore. Only then did it collapse, turning into a pile of ash that drifted in the wind.
"It seems to be more powerful than I imagined. I'm afraid the number of moves needed to kill Master Sky Sword will will be reduced by one."
The sword intent released by the fifth step Destruction Sword Spirit was much more powerful than ordinary fifth step sword intents. It could already completely affect reality. Without any exaggeration, if Ye Chen's will was below the fourth step, he wouldn't even need to make a move. A single strand of sword intent would be enough to annihilate the opponent's soul. And this was because Ye Chen wasn't a King. If Ye Chen were a Life and Death King, a single strand of sword intent would be enough to annihilate a peak Master with fourth step willpower, ignoring all defenses.
After all, Life and Death Kings' methods of using sword intent were much more profound than Ye Chen's. Under the same sword intent, Ye Chen would certainly not be able to contend against Kings.
"Now that the Sword Soul has been upgraded, the attack power of the Sword Control Art will also increase by a lot."
The power of the Defensive Sword Art was reflected in four aspects: Zhen Yuan, profound, sword intent, and soul power. Among them, the sword intent took up a large portion, especially the fifth step Destruction Sword Intent. The soul power was mainly reflected in speed. Of course, under the condition that the quality did not change, the faster the speed, the higher the attack power.
Huff!
Letting out a heavy breath, Ye Chen gazed at the distant scenery and inwardly thought, 'The Destruction Sword Soul is already at the fifth step. I wonder when the Immortal Sword Soul will take shape.'
The Destruction Sword Soul contained slaughter, so it could absorb the power of slaughter. On the other hand, the Immortal Sword Soul and the Destruction Sword Soul were equal, and there was no such thing as one absorbing the other. However, compared to the Destruction Sword Soul, the Immortal Sword Soul seemed to be much harder to form. Wasn't there a saying that destruction was easier than construction?
Ye Chen had a premonition that one day, when the Immortal Sword Soul and the Destruction Sword Soul reached a true balance, something unexpected would happen.
…
In the forbidden area of South Rudra Sect, there was a conveyor gate in an underground chamber. The energy whirlpool inside the conveyor gate suddenly accelerated. After three blinks of an eye, a figure was sent out and stood before the conveyor gate.
This person was none other than the eighteenth elder of Dragon God Celestial Palace.
Tap! Tap!
The sound of footsteps resounded as Long Biyi walked down the secret passage.
"Eighteenth elder."
The eighteenth elder warmly smiled, "Miss, you've lost a lot of weight."
Long Biyi sighed and asked, "You've come for Ye Chen."
"En! Great elder asked me to have a chat with him. "
"He also has a message for me to pass on to the palace. Since you've come, talk to him face to face. I'll take you to the Ye family."
"I'll trouble miss to lead the way."
…
Before the two arrived at the Ye family, they were sensed by Ye Chen.
"Dragon God Celestial Palace's elder?"
Judging from the eighteenth elder's attire, Ye Chen guessed the other party's identity.
In the pavilion at the center of the lake, Ye Chen had personally brewed tea and was waiting there.
From afar, the eighteenth elder saw Ye Chen. Inside the pavilion was a blue-clothed youngster with a handsome face. The tea on the table was emitting steam in spirals, contrasting with Ye Chen's temperament. He was extremely calm, without a trace of impetuousness. This was extremely rare among youngsters.
"Haha!"
Laughing heartily, the eighteenth elder and Long Biyi entered the pavilion.
"Ye Chen, this is the first time we've met. I'm the eighteenth elder of Dragon God Celestial Palace, surnamed Yu." The eighteenth elder didn't immediately sit down and introduced himself.
Ye Chen stood up and gestured with his hand, "I've been waiting for Dragon God Celestial Palace to send someone over. Elder Yu, please sit."
Both sides sat down, and Long Biyi said to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, the eighteenth elder will tell you the general situation of Dragon God Celestial Palace. The final decision will still be made by you."
Ye Chen lightly sipped the tea and said directly, "We'll talk about the general situation after we arrive at Dragon God Celestial Palace!"
Eh!
The eighteenth elder was somewhat stunned. Exchanging a glance with Long Biyi, he said, "Hearing about you is not as good as meeting you in person. Just these words of yours have made me have no choice but to have a whole new level of respect for you. You don't do things sloppily, and you won't change your attitude because of other people's opinions. No wonder you've been walking at the forefront for so many years, becoming the first Sword Master of True Spirit Continent in several hundred years."
Ye Chen's terror deeply shocked the eighteenth elder. He was not a solitary martial artist, nor was he an elder of a small sect, but a member of Dragon God Celestial Palace's Elder Association. He had a way of seeing through people. However, in front of Ye Chen, he couldn't see through the latter at all. However, he didn't need to see through the latter. Just from the latter's words, he could tell that Ye Chen was even more outstanding than he had imagined.
Ye Chen said, "It's rare for Elder Yu to come to Ye Clan. Let's not talk business. Tea is fine."
"Alright, tea."
The eighteenth elder naturally knew that there was no need to say anything.
Long Biyi helplessly smiled.
…
In South Rudra Sect's forbidden area, Ye Chen and the eighteenth elder stood in front of the conveyor gate.
"Miss, we'll take our leave first." The eighteenth elder turned his head and said.
Long Biyi nodded and said to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, be careful. Your life is the most important. You have to understand that your value far surpasses everything else."
"I know what I'm doing."
Ye Chen naturally wouldn't act rashly.
"Alright, let's go."
The eighteenth elder took the lead and stepped into the conveyor gate, followed by Ye Chen.
…
The Dragon God Celestial Palace was situated on a huge island. In the world of Ye Chen's previous life, this island was definitely a small continent. On the island, countless buildings rose and fell one after another, with distinct levels. At the center of the island was an even larger building. At the center of the building was a majestic palace with a dragon statue coiling around it. A majestic aura soared into the sky, causing the clouds in the sky to be unable to gather.
The place where Ye Chen and the eighteenth elder appeared was in the center of the island. Looking out, they couldn't see the end of it. The clouds and mist made the buildings faintly discernible. It was like a scenic spot in the heavens, magnificent and luxurious at the same time.
Walking out of the conveyor gate, the two arrived at a plaza.
On the plaza, there were many people coming and going. Most of them were core disciples of the Dragon God Celestial Palace, as well as some attendants and outer elders.
"Eighteenth elder!"
"Greetings, eighteenth elder!"
Along the way, people would greet the eighteenth elder from time to time. The status of the members of the Elder Association was not like that of an ordinary sect's inner elder. Because the Dragon God Celestial Palace was a peak fifth grade sect, the hierarchy was even stricter. Often, there were many small ranks within the same rank. Moreover, the Elder Association was the peak of the entire Dragon God Celestial Palace, and handled all the affairs of the palace.
The eighteenth elder was a gentle person, nodding in greeting one by one.
"Who is this person? He looks so young!"
"Peak mid Sea of Soul realm cultivation base, twenty years old at most!"
"Being accompanied by eighteenth elder, tsk tsk."
These people were not idiots. They knew that a young man who could be accompanied by the eighteenth master would not be simple. Moreover, from the way the eighteenth master talked to Ye Chen, it was obvious that the two had the same status, and there was no hierarchy between them.
Ye Chen did not pay attention to the other people's gazes. He glanced around and realized that the whole area was covered by a layer of enchantment, which was extremely horrifying. There was no trace of it at all, and no one could sense it at all, as if it was hidden in the void.
What shocked him the most was that the trees planted on the roadside of the core region were all rare species. There were mid grade Purple Fir Trees, mid grade Dragon Head Trees, mid grade Evergreen Trees, and not a single low grade tree. The flowers and grasses in the flower beds were innumerable, with the lowest being low grade. There were also quite a number of mid grade flowers and grasses.
Cultivating under these trees, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was extremely rich, allowing one to cultivate twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, these grasses and grasses could be casually harvested and refined into valuable pills.
Trees and grasses all had grades, so they naturally required a lot of nutrients. Therefore, along the way, Ye Chen could see people watering plants and grasses from time to time. This water was not ordinary water, as it contained a kind of exuberant vitality energy. If one wasn't afraid of losing face, they could even use it to drink. If it were a small clan without any grade, they would definitely treasure it and not use it for water.
Sucking in a cold breath, Ye Chen finally understood the strength of a fifth grade sect. Compared to a fifth grade sect, a sixth grade sect was simply not worth mentioning.
Raising his head, he could see many towering trees in the depths of the palace. Due to the clouds and mist, Ye Chen could only see the nearest ones. However, these few were all upper grade, countless times more precious than ordinary upper grade spirit grasses. It should be known that among plants, trees were the most valuable, often dozens or even hundreds of times more valuable than other spirit grasses.
"Ye Chen, how is the Celestial Dragon God Palace?"
Eighteenth elder could see that Ye Chen was very astonished.
Ye Chen replied honestly, "It's more prosperous than I imagined."
"Dragon God Celestial Palace's prosperity is not what it looks like on the surface. However, everything has a price. It's precisely because of its prosperity that it requires even more resources. Once the resources don't keep up, problems will easily arise. It's not an exaggeration to say that the resources required by Dragon God Celestial Palace are at least a hundred times that of ordinary sixth grade sects. From sixth grade to fifth grade, you can think of it as going from Sea of Soul realm to Life and Death realm."
As long as a sixth grade sect had a Life and Death King, it could become the most ordinary fifth grade sect. After several hundred years of development, it could become a mid fifth grade sect. A peak fifth grade sect like Dragon God Celestial Palace would need at least a thousand years of development.
