The two jade slips left behind by the Fire Emperor contained top grade profound martial arts. Even the Void Emperor and Space Emperor might not be able to research such a level of martial arts, because it was too difficult to fuse several kinds of profound together. Even if they could be fused, they would need to create a profound enough martial arts framework. Both were indispensable.
Ye Chen didn't plan to learn these two peak profound martial skills at the moment. It wasn't that he didn't fancy them, nor did he think he couldn't learn them. Rather, he didn't want to be distracted. The most important thing for him at the moment was to comprehend the Life Dao, then verify the Death Dao and Life Dao, and enter Life and Death Realm. The moment he entered Life and Death Realm, he would be able to enter the state of being one with the heavens at all times. Comprehending anything would be several times faster, perhaps even ten times faster.
"However, when I enter Life and Death Realm, I'll need peak three star battle strength. Otherwise, I'll be lacking."
Peak three star battle strength was equivalent to peak high step Kings, second only to peak Kings. At present, Ye Chen was more or less an ordinary mid step King, far from this level. A slightly stronger high step King could kill him in one move, and a powerful high step King could easily kill him from hundreds or even thousands of li away, not to mention peak Kings.
It could be said that the further one went, the greater the disparity between levels would become. This was because it was no longer a disparity in cultivation base, but a disparity in battle strength.
One was one, and two was two.
Even Ye Chen couldn't defeat a three star battle strength expert with two star battle strength.
If he could, then Ye Chen wouldn't just be a two star battle strength expert, but a three star battle strength expert.
"Gao Zhiyuan, this sword is for you."
In Supreme Elder's palace, Ye Chen took out the Hundred Eras Sword. With a shake of his hand, the sword stabbed into the ground beside Gao Zhiyuan, overflowing with sword Qi.
"Supreme Elder?"
Gao Zhiyuan revealed a hesitant expression. He could see that this sword contained an extremely powerful immortal power, even stronger than his immortal sword intent. As far as he was concerned, this sword was no weaker than a pseudo supreme grade sword.
"You've already become a half-step King. How can you not have a good sword?"
It had been half a year since Ye Chen had arrived at the school. During this time, because of Ye Chen, the school's development was not bad. The number of disciples had doubled. However, there were only a few who could be considered as the core of the school. Gao Zhiyuan did not disappoint, and had successfully become a half-step King half a month ago.
A genius half-step King was different from an ordinary half-step King, but their weapons had to be up to par. Ye Chen did have a semi supreme grade sword in his storage ring, but it was not as good as the Hundred Eras Sword. The immortal sword intent contained within the Hundred Eras Sword was extremely compatible with Gao Zhiyuan. In his hands, the Hundred Eras Sword was just an ordinary pseudo supreme grade sword.
"Thank you, Grand Elder!"
Gao Zhiyuan bowed in gratitude.
"Alright, I'll be leaving Eternal Sky Sect for a period of time. It might be one year, or two years. During this period, Eternal Sky Sect will be relying on you to protect it. With you and Elder Lu, Eternal Sky Sect should not be bullied." Elder Lu's dementia was actually caused by a blood clot in his head. As time passed and Ye Chen gave him precious pellets, he had gradually recovered. With Elder Lu and Gao Zhiyuan, unless someone wanted to invade Eternal Sky Sect, there should be no problem.
"Don't worry, Great Elder. Zhiyuan will protect Eternal Sky Sect." Even when Eternal Sky Sect was in a difficult situation, Gao Zhiyuan could persevere, let alone now.
On the second day, Ye Chen left Eternal Sky Sect.
To comprehend the life dao, one had to walk more and see more.
…
Rumble!
Above the surging ocean, black clouds covered the sky. A powerful whirlwind swept up the seawater, forming water pillars that connected the sky and the earth. Silver lightning snakes shot through the sky. Occasionally, some of them would entangle together, forming a thick lightning dragon. The frightening electricity even numbed the air.
Under the black clouds, a silhouette was flying.
"Nature also has its own unique life. When it's not angry, it's calm and tranquil. But once it's angry, the winds and clouds change, filling the sky with killing intent."
Lightning snakes struck Ye Chen's body from time to time, dispersing. The water pillars that connected the sky and the earth wanted to pull Ye Chen over. In such a vile environment, even an Astral Reaching expert would have to be careful. The storms of the Endless Ocean couldn't be compared to the storms of the continent.
Of course, for Ye Chen, it was nothing more than a tickle.
The range of the storm was limited. After flying for several tens of thousands of li, Ye Chen left the storm zone. The sky turned sunny again. Compared to the black storm zone behind him, it was like heaven and hell.
A rainbow hung in the sky.
Ye Chen faintly seemed to have comprehended something, but it also seemed to be nothing.
"My comprehension is still not enough."
Ye Chen continued his journey.
…
"That giant whale most likely can't beat the sea snake."
On the Endless Ocean, battles were taking place all the time. Territorial disputes between sea beasts could be seen everywhere. In Ye Chen's vision, a ninth grade giant whale and a ninth grade sea snake were fighting. The billows they raised were not inferior to a small storm. The seawater surged for a thousand meters. The sky was sometimes clear, and sometimes dark clouds covered the sky. Sometimes, gales blew chaotically, and sometimes, lightning snakes struck.
In the chaotic whirlpool, the island-like giant whale and the several thousand meters long sea snake were entangled. If an ordinary person saw this scene, their legs would probably tremble in fear.
In the end, the sea snake bit the giant whale, and its poison entered the giant whale's body through its teeth.
The giant whale gradually stopped struggling, its vitality completely gone.
"Nature is cruel. It's natural selection, survival of the fittest."
Although Ye Chen had known about this before, he had rarely calmed down and tried to understand the meaning behind it. It was like there were some things that everyone could understand and say, but those who could truly understand the deeper meaning behind it were few and far between.
…
Nature had a cruel side, but it also had a gentle side.
Along the way, Ye Chen passed by a lot of islands. The islands were covered in lush greenery, and people lived peacefully. Farmers farmed, fishermen went out to sea to catch fish, and women took care of their children, doing housework. Ye Chen saw sincere smiles on their faces.
Sometimes, Ye Chen would live on the islands for a while, farming, fishing, playing with children, chatting with some elders, listening to their stories when they were young, as well as their understanding of life.
Gradually, stubble started to grow on Ye Chen's face, which was getting thicker and thicker. However, his handsome appearance was enough to make a lot of girls fall head over heels for him.
"The pirates are here!"
"The pirates are here!"
The fisherman ran down from the boat and shouted mournfully.
Ye Chen looked over. On the ocean, dozens of fully-armed battleships were approaching. The flags of these battleships all had white skulls as the background.
There were martial artists on the island as well, but the most powerful ones were only at the Clasping Yuan Realm, and there were only a few of them. Most of them were at the Mortal Realm.
This was just an ordinary island.
"Haha, kill all the men, and bring back the pretty girls."
On the leading battleship, a one-eyed man laughed arrogantly. The pirates behind him also laughed, their gazes vicious. This kind of ordinary life island was completely worthless to them. They could only vent their desires on some beautiful women and then throw them into the sea to feed the fish. This wasn't the first time they had done such a thing.
"Young man, I know you're a powerful martial artist, but there are too many of them. You'd better run!" The old man who often chatted with Ye Chen urged Ye Chen.
"Don't worry, old man. It's just some pirates."
A cold light flickered in Ye Chen's eyes. Although he was comprehending the dao of life, which had both a beautiful and dark side, he was comprehending life and death, not ignoring it.
Leaping up, Ye Chen pulled out the Evil Vanquishing Sword and slashed at the ocean.
The frightening sword light was thousands of meters long, cutting a deep ravine in the ocean. Even the bottom of the ocean could be seen as it smashed forward with an irresistible force.
"Ah! It's a top expert! Run!"
Before the pirates even got close to the island, they were already scared out of their wits, desperately turning their ships around.
Swoosh!
All the battleships were cut open, and the pirates within the sword light's attack range were directly turned into ashes. The surrounding pirates were also affected by the sword wind and turned into blood mist.
One sword, and they were all dead.
Rumble! The seawater poured in, filling up the cut open by the sword light. On the island, everyone was dumbfounded.
"So he's a top expert. I thought he was just an ordinary wandering martial artist."
Some of the girls were sad. This kind of Ye Chen, they were not good enough for him.
The pirates were destroyed, but Ye Chen understood that he could help for a while, but not forever. To survive in this world, he had to be powerful enough.
There was a young genius on the island with a Clasping Yuan cultivation base. Seeing how powerful Ye Chen was, he sincerely came to take him as his master.
Ye Chen taught him for a few days and left him some resources before leaving.
After he left, the young man might die at the hands of the pirates, or he might become a world-shaking expert. Who knew the future? Ye Chen had only given him a hope of becoming an expert.
…
In the boundless starry sky, there was a place that was dark and unfathomable.
Bang! Bang!
Bang! In the depths of the chaos, light flickered, and a frightening aura filled the starry sky.
"Ah!"
In the next moment, a loud cry was heard, and a blood mist was struck out of the chaos, sprinkling on a small star nearby. The star trembled slightly, and blood flowed out.
"Hmph, a mere five star battle strength dares to barge into this place? Truly reckless."
A voice came from the depths of the chaos.
"Hehe, a thousand years ago, a five star battle strength expert sneaked out while we weren't paying attention. Perhaps they thought they could get out with good luck."
"That kind of thing only happens once in ten thousand times. With us guarding this place, not a single person from Elysium will be able to get out."
"Of course. But, next time someone comes, let me take action. I haven't taken action in a long time, and the time for my rotation is almost here."
