With such a grand lineup, it could be seen that the Ye Clan's attention to this operation had reached an extremely high standard.
"Father, wait a moment." Seeing that Ye Qing was about to board the war chariot, Ye Chen pushed Xiao Chen forward and said, "Bring us along. Xiao Chen is somewhat proficient in seeking dragons and fixing veins."
Shock flashed in Ye Qing's eyes. Then, he turned to Xiao Chen and asked, "Little Friend, you really know how to seek dragons and fix veins?"
"Humph! Now, everyone dares to call themselves a Geomaster? You inexperienced brat, yet you dare to speak such nonsense. How come I have never heard of a Geomaster Clan with the surname Xiao? "
Just as Xiao Chen was about to deny it, a rude voice rang out. When he looked over, the one who spoke was an old man dressed in ancient attire.
This should be a Geomaster that the Ye Clan invited.
Ye Feng introduced apologetically, "This is Senior Yuan Qinghuan. He has been a Geomaster for a hundred years. Senior Yuan, this is Xiao Chen, an honored guest of my Ye Clan."
When Yuan Qinghuan heard Ye Feng's introduction that Xiao Chen was an honored guest of the Ye Clan, his tone softened. Then, he said with a cold expression, "Since he is an honored guest of the Ye Clan, I can't be bothered to say more. However, don't just casually say that you know how to seek dragons and fix veins. That is an insult to our profession."
"You are just a mediocre Geomaster. Why are you spouting so much nonsense?" Ye Chen immediately lost his temper.
Xiao Chen pulled Ye Qing back and said apologetically to Ye Qing, "This junior is only slightly interested in seeking dragons and fixing veins. I can't be considered to understand it, much less be proficient in it. I'm just going to take a look."
Ye Qing smiled and said, "It's fine. Let's go and take a look, then. Feng`er, prepare a war chariot for them. Come, let's depart now."
The group of people rode on the war chariot, looking like celestial soldiers and generals.
On the war chariot that Ye Feng and the others were on, Ye Chen was still brooding. He scolded, "This old fellow is not capable himself, yet he is putting on airs. If not for Father stopping me, I would have beaten him up."
Ye Feng frowned and said, "Don't be rash. He is already the strongest Geomaster I can hire. He has experience subduing ten Superior Spirit Veins."
Zi Ying interrupted, "However, I heard that Jiang Tian once helped an Immortal Holy Land subdue a King Spirit Vein."
Ye Feng's expression turned somewhat unsightly. He said helplessly, "Father no longer holds much hope for us to subdue this unknown Spirit Vein. It is unavoidable for the Sole Hegemon Mountain Manor to grow stronger. We can only think of other countermeasures."
Ye Chen asked out of curiosity, "What countermeasures?"
Ye Feng remained silent for a while before saying, "If there really is a King Spirit Vein hidden in the dragon cave this time, then we should advance to Sovereign Martial Emperor."
"That's too risky!" Ye Chen exclaimed.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Once the Sole Hegemon Mountain Manor obtains the King Spirit Vein, they will definitely surpass our Ye Family and become the new Alliance Chief."
The war chariot fell silent. Ye Chen pulled Xiao Chen to the side and whispered, "Xiao Chen, can you tell me if you know how to seek dragons and fix veins? The Sovereign Tribulation is already very dangerous. Advancing it in advance will increase the danger significantly. "
Xiao Chen understood Ye Chen's feelings. After a while, he said, "I can only promise you that if it really is a King Spirit Vein, I can make it so that no one can obtain it. In terms of seeking dragons and fixing veins, I am still too inexperienced compared to those veteran Geomasters. "
Ye Chen smiled and said, "That is all I need to hear!"
Xiao Chen did not know what danger he would face if he exposed the Yuwen Clan's Dragon Seeking Art. However, for the sake of this friend before him, he could only ignore the danger.
The chariots soon left the Cloud Soaring Island. After flying for half a day on the surface of the sea, they stopped on a sea that was clearly unusual and densely covered with barren mountains.
Up above, there were already people from many factions gathered together.
Every faction's lineup was only slightly weaker than the Ye Clan's. This was Xiao Chen's first time seeing so many Emperor Wu's.
The atmosphere in the air was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Xiao Chen withdrew his thoughts and carefully sized up the situation below. The entire sea covered an area of more than five thousand kilometers.
There were many mountains at the bottom of the sea in the south. Only the tip of the iceberg could be seen, stretching out endlessly.
Xiao Chen counted carefully. There was a total of eighteen mountains at the bottom of the sea, which startled him.
While the peaks of the mountains above the water were no more than a kilometer tall, if one counted the mountains hidden under the water, they would be ridiculously huge.
When seeking dragons and fixing veins, the first thing one needed to do was to look for the mountains and rivers, the ferocious beasts in the south.
With such huge mountains and eighteen of them, Xiao Chen did not dare to imagine how many horrifying ferocious beasts were hidden in the dragon caves.
Then, Xiao Chen looked to the north. There were hundreds of small islands just emerging from the surface of the sea.
The north and south corresponded. The ferocious beasts in the south eyed each other with malicious intent. The Dragon Guards in the north guarded the side, blocking all evil.
There were more than a hundred Dragon Guards. Xiao Chen was shocked again. No wonder the various factions sent out such a large lineup.
There might really be a King Spirit Vein hidden in this dragon cave.
Of course, Xiao Chen could not come to a conclusion too accurately. The third segment of the Paradise Secret Canon, the Hundred Changes of the Heavenly Mysteries, introduced the existence of many fake dragon caves.
Unfortunately, it was not convenient for Xiao Chen to open his Heavenly Eye. Otherwise, he would be able to obtain more useful information. It was not easy to make a concrete judgment just by looking at the surface of the sea.
Xiao Chen looked up and frowned slightly. The sky was not dark yet, and he could not see the Starry Heavens clearly. This was a headache.
"Did you see anything?" Ye Chen asked anxiously.
Xiao Chen shook his head and remained silent.
Ye Feng turned his head and said, "There is an alliance warship over there. Father is calling us over."
Xiao Chen turned his head to look. The leaders of the various factions led the Geomasters of their factions on a very large warship, continuously flying over.
"Let's go!"
The four flew to the deck. The deck was astonishingly vast. It was flat and boundlessly vast. Xiao Chen felt like he was on an aircraft carrier that he had only seen on television in his previous life.
However, the warship they were on was much more powerful than an aircraft carrier; they were not on the same level.
A tall platform was erected on the deck. Ye Qing sat on the throne on the platform. His followers, Emperor Wu, stood on either side. On his right was the Geomaster Yuan Qinghuan.
The leaders of the various factions stood on both sides of the deck with their Geomasters. The gazes of the various major characters filled with curiosity as they looked at Xiao Chen.
Although this junior was not as strong as Emperor Wu and was rather far from their circle, they had heard of his name long ago.
Ye Qing smiled and pointed behind him, indicating for Xiao Chen and the others to just stand there and not speak.
"Alliance Chief Ye, can we begin the first step? The Geomasters of our factions have been preparing for a long time already," an old man asked with an excited expression.
Although the other leaders did not say anything, they clearly could not wait any longer.
Ye Qing said, "Let's wait for a while. The Sole Hegemon Mountain Manor's Brother Shi is not here yet. There is no rush to check the earth vein for now."
"Haha! Brother Ye is really generous. Fellow Daoists, Shi Tianyu is late. Sorry about that."
Amid loud laughter, a middle-aged man with an aura no weaker than Ye Qing's landed on the deck with the strongest Geomaster of the Heavenly Starry Ocean, Jiang Tian, his son Shi Feng, and a few Emperor Wu's followers.
Xiao Chen, who was standing behind Ye Qing, felt a gaze. He looked up and saw Shi Feng looking at him provocatively.
Ye Qing said, "Let's begin. Since Brother Shi is here, then."
"Wait!"
Shi Tianyu waved his hand domineeringly and smiled. "Checking the earth vein is just a small matter. There is no need for so many Geomasters to work together. Old Mister Jiang alone is sufficient."
The others could not help feeling angry. From the very start, this Shi Tianyu intended to exclude the others and monopolize this Spirit Vein.
Ye Qing felt upset as well. This Shi Tianyu did not give any face to him, the Alliance Chief, at all, not taking his words seriously at all.
However, even if Ye Qing was upset, he had to endure it. Who asked the other party to invite Jiang Tian, the strongest Geomaster of the Heavenly Starry Ocean?
Shi Tianyu ignored Ye Qing and said calmly, "Old Brother Jiang, sorry to trouble you."
Jiang Tian nodded and slowly walked to the railing at the side. The people of the other factions quickly crowded over, wanting to see what would happen next.
They saw the old man with the family name Jiang wave his hand and point to the sky. The clouds slowly parted like curtains on a stage, revealing a vast and boundless Starry Heavens with radiance.
Jiang Tian waved his right hand, and a black flag appeared. Then, he casually tossed it into the air. The flag transformed into eighty-one flags and stabbed into the water.
In that instant, the surface of the sea turned transparent, allowing everyone to see the situation at the bottom of the sea clearly.
"The Jiang Clan's Worldly Wind and Water Flags are indeed extraordinary!"
When many of the Geomasters saw this scene, they all felt admiration for Jiang Tian. Although they were upset that Jiang Tian managed to suppress all of them by himself, they truly admired his strength.
Xiao Chen quickly walked over to the railing and looked at the bottom of the sea. After a while, his expression changed slightly. Then, he raised his head and looked at the boundless Starry Heavens.
Xiao Chen's expression changed completely. This was a chain of dragon caves. It was hard to tell the real from the fake. Perhaps there was an evil dragon hidden here. This was a very ominous situation that could kill Emperor Wu.
"Nine Stars Sealing Dragon. Tanlang, Jumen, Lucun, Wenqu, Lianzhen, Wuqu, Pojun, Left Minister, and Right Minister — all nine stars are present. This is my first time seeing such a situation. There might be a King Spirit Vein hidden here. Even if it is not a King Spirit Vein, it should be a peak Holy Spirit Vein. "
Yuan Qinghuan, the Geomaster hired by the Ye Clan, immediately cried out excitedly when he saw the situation at the bottom of the sea, feeling extremely shocked.
Ye Chen asked with a smile, "Can Mister subdue and suppress it?"
Yuan Qinghuan felt stifled. How could he have the ability to subdue Xiao Chen? Even if the other Geomasters were not around, it would be hard for him to deal with this alone.
Furthermore, there were so many Geomasters, especially with Jiang Tian present. No matter what, it would not be Xiao Chen's turn.
He turned around and said angrily, "Go ahead if you can!"
Ye Qing frowned slightly and said sullenly, "Mister, just tell me the truth. How likely are you to subdue this dragon cave? How confident are you in fighting with the other Geomasters?"
Before a major character like Ye Qing, Yuan Qinghuan did not dare to be impudent. He stammered, "This … actually, I'm not afraid to speak the truth. All the Geomasters in the Heavenly Starry Ocean who can compete with Jiang Tian are either dead, in seclusion, or consecrated by an Immortal Holy Land. There is no Geomaster here who can stop him."
