Although the Patriarch of Hell looked unrestrained and unruly, one could even say that he did not look like a Tribulation Almighty at all.
However, that did not mean that he was stupid!
It could be said that no one in the cultivation world was simple. The patriarch was able to cultivate to a Tribulation Almighty in the cultivation world in his previous life. As a giant in the cultivation world, he was not as ordinary as he looked.
Although he had not known Hu Meiling for long, the smart patriarch noticed many things that did not make sense.
"She's cultivated for 2,000 years. As the saying goes, people become demons when they grow old. Do you think she'll still be like a three-year-old child?" Ye Chen smiled, not agreeing or disagreeing.
"Hehe, that's true!"
The Patriarch of Hell snickered as his eyes flickered non-stop, "But then again, it's said that the Fox Demon Clan specializes in beauties. That's true at all. Even in the cultivation world, that little lady's beauty is top-notch."
Ye Chen suddenly stopped walking and looked at him expressionlessly, "Let me remind you first. Don't get yourself into trouble. Moreover, you're breaking through in her territory!"
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
…
After about an hour, the group of them had traversed the northwest corner of the old forest. Finally, they followed the stone walls and entered a mine. The Black Bear King stopped in his tracks and spoke with fear in his voice, "Master, we've arrived at the Lightning Pool."
Ye Chen looked up and saw that they were in a mine that was neither too big nor too small. There were jagged stalactites all around them. A hundred feet away, there was a hole that was about ten feet in diameter. From afar, it looked like the mouth of a well.
There was a hole hanging on the stone wall above the well. The hole was connected to the outside world. Moonlight seeped in through the hole and shone on the well.
Streaks of silver lightning that were as thick as earthworms swam around the mouth of the well. From time to time, sparks would fly when they collided. Even though Ye Chen was a hundred feet away, he could still hear the sound of surging electricity coming from the mouth of the well.
"Is this the so-called Lightning Pool?"
The Patriarch of Hell was a little disappointed after looking around for a while.
He thought the Lightning Pool that Hu Meiling mentioned would be huge. Never did he expect to see it now.
"That's right!"
The Black Bear King nodded and said fearfully, "Don't underestimate it. Most of the lightning is at the bottom of the well. After thousands of years of accumulation, it's very terrifying. Even I have to stay ten feet away from it."
"Because he's a loser!"
The Old Ancestor Nether Spring sneered and took a step forward. It was this step that seemed to have triggered something, causing bolts of lightning to shoot out from the mouth of the ancient well, and they instantly struck the Old Ancestor.
"Motherf * cker, he's a little fierce!"
Patriarch Yellow Spring hurriedly retreated with lingering fear.
The Black Bear King sneered in response.
"Get out!"
Ye Chen said to it. He only took a step forward after it left. His situation was the same as the patriarch's. Countless lightning bolts gathered on him, but he was not afraid at all. He walked to the mouth of the ancient well step by step.
This scene caused Patriarch Yellow Spring to be astounded. "Dammit! Does this kid's body have to be so monstrous? Even lightning can't hurt him at all? "
Ye Chen ignored his gaze. His Divine Consciousness shrouded the mouth of the well. He said with a smile a moment later, "This is a good place. There's actually a trace of lightning essence condensed below. It's perfect for training one's soul."
At this point, he raised his head and looked at the Old Ancestor Yellow Spring beside him, "Patriarch, come here. This place can help you break through to Foundation Building."
"No way!"
"Do you think I'm this monstrous?!"
The Old Ancestor Yellow Spring shook his head like a rattle drum. He refused to agree no matter what. He had been killed by the heavenly tribulation during his ascension, so he was traumatized by lightning.
"Alright, stop pretending!"
Ye Chen frowned, "I was a Tribulation Stage old monster in my previous life after all. I don't believe that I can't even deal with this tiny lightning pool. This concerns whether I can break through or not. If you're unwilling, I won't force you."
"Damn it, I'm going all out!"
The Old Ancestor Yellow Spring gritted his teeth and spat out a green ball of energy. The ball of energy wrapped around him and floated toward Ye Chen quickly. Along the way, countless lightning bolts eroded the ball of energy around him.
"Go down!"
Before he could react, Ye Chen slapped him into the well. A scream that was on the verge of tears came from inside, "Ye, I'm not done with you."
"Stop being so noisy. This is your fortune. Whether you can succeed or not depends on yourself. I won't stay here to guard you. However, before I leave, I'll set up a formation for you so that no one can disturb you!"
Ye Chen shook his head lightly.
The Patriarch of Hell sighed faintly, but he did not curse out loud. "Thank you, Fellow Ye. I'll be in closed-door cultivation for as long as three years or as short as half a year. I'll definitely reward you handsomely after I come out!"
"During the days when I'm not around, I'll have to trouble you to take care of the Zhao family's mother and daughter, Fellow Ye!
"I know what I'm doing. Don't worry about breaking through!"
Ye Chen chuckled softly and turned around to leave. After walking out of the mine, he raised his hand and took out the formation flag that he had prepared earlier. He sealed the entire mine completely.
Now, no one could disturb the patriarch.
He returned to the peach blossom forest and said to Hu Meiling, "Fellow Hu, my friend will be in closed-door cultivation for three years, or at least half a year. During this period, I hope that you can restrain your people and not disturb him!"
"I understand. Please don't forget your promise to me, Mr. Ye," Hu Meiling bowed solemnly.
Ye Chen nodded lightly, "Of course!"
…
Shanhai Pass!
It was the first pass in the east of the Great Wall. It had the reputation of 'the barrier of the capital, the throat of the left side of Liaoning' and 'the number one pass in the world'!
It was night, dawn was breaking.
A skinny figure landed on the city tower of the pass when the sky was white. Ye Chen was dressed in green robes and stood with his hands behind his back. He quietly observed the building that was known as the impregnable pass.
There was no surprise in his eyes at all. There was only deep shock, "Formation. This pass is actually made of a formation, and it's the Nine Tunes Dragon Formation!"
He spread his Divine Consciousness and covered a radius of five kilometers. He could clearly grasp the direction of the mountain range. It could be said that Shanhai Pass was like a dragon circling above the ground in his eyes.
Most importantly!
The formation was activated when no one was guarding it. Someone had forcefully changed the direction of the mountain range, causing the dragon vein to pass through Shanhai Pass. Then, they set up this formation to extract the earth energy of the dragon vein to provide endless energy for the formation.
"Who on earth is capable of such a grand scheme?"
Ye Chen frowned slightly. Subsequently, he leaped into the sky directly. He looked down at the entire Shanhai Pass from above. Two huge golden fireballs bloomed in his eyes.
"Golden Pupil Fiery Eyes, activate!"
A huge golden pillar of light shot out from his eyes and quickly attacked the city tower of Shanhai Pass.
Boom!
The entire Shanhai Pass shook violently. Subsequently, a green halo bloomed and blocked Ye Chen's golden light.
The next moment.
Two inverted couplets appeared on both sides of the city gate of Shanhai Pass. The couplets shone with golden light, and the words on them were twisted like wriggling tadpoles.
On the left was: "Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Zai, Zai, Front!"
On the right were: "Hum, Ma, Ni, Pad, Mi, Hum, Zhen, Qian, Kun!
