"Boom …"
With a roar!
The lightning tribulation that was as thick as a water bucket seemed to have been forcefully torn apart by a pair of invisible hands, and it actually disappeared into thin air!
At that moment, the dark clouds that had originally enveloped the sky above the King Mu Fort also dispersed in all directions. Not long after, the entire sky returned to its clear state.
"T-This …"
Even though King Mu thought that he was knowledgeable, he could not help but be dumbfounded at this moment, "Such a terrifying heavenly tribulation was actually dispersed with a single shout?"
The 30-meter-tall golden body also shrunk. In the end, under everyone's gaze, it turned into a skinny figure.
Jiu 'er danced in joy, "It's young master, it's young master!"
"It's really young master. He's fine!"
"In other words, young master has become an emperor?!"
Countless people were extremely excited. To be able to see one of their own become an emperor in their lifetime was enough for them to brag to their juniors for the rest of their lives.
Mu Caiwei stared blankly at the figure in the distance.
The figure was dressed in black, and his long black hair fluttered in the wind. His rather ordinary facial features were suffused with a faint purple divine might at this moment. An indescribable pressure surged in all directions like a tide.
His pitch-black eyes were as deep as the boundless night sky, causing one to be mesmerized by them and fall into their trap …
…
In the sky, Ye Chen sensed the majestic power fluctuations in his body. His gaze was focused on the origin core the size of a pigeon's egg in his dantian. A smile appeared at the corner of his lips, "I've finally recovered to Golden Core!
"Now that Li Fenghan, the pseudo emperor, encounters me again, I only need one palm to kill him!"
A smile appeared at the corner of Ye Chen's lips as he mumbled, "My combat strength can fight a martial emperor now. The only flaw is that the Almighty Killer Sword is broken. I need to refine another magic weapon!"
At this moment, several figures rushed over. King Mu was the first to cup his fists and said, "Congratulations, Senior Shi, for successfully overcoming the Emperor Tribulation and stepping into the martial emperor stage!"
"Emperor Tribulation?"
Ye Chen was stunned at first when he heard that. Subsequently, he smiled calmly. He knew that King Mu had misunderstood!
It was the Thirty-nine Heavenly Tribulation that a Foundation Building cultivator had to go through to Golden Core. There were a total of three lightning strikes. However, when the first strike struck, Ye Chen dispersed the Tribulation Cloud with a single word. Therefore, the other two did not strike.
However, he did not explain. Instead, he said, "Both of you, father and daughter, come to my room …"
In the next moment, his body disappeared on the spot.
…
After King Mu and Mu Caiwei entered the room, Ye Chen lifted his head to look at them and said directly, "I believe you guys have guessed that I'm leaving!"
King Mu nodded slightly and secretly sighed.
On the other hand, when Mu Caiwei heard this, her delicate body slightly stiffened. Her pretty face drooped, and after a moment of silence, she faintly said, "When are we leaving?"
"Tomorrow at the latest!"
Ye Chen chuckled softly and subsequently looked at the two of them, "However, I have many questions before I leave. I need you and your daughter to answer them for me!"
King Mu said, "Senior Shi, feel free to speak!"
A book appeared in Ye Chen's hand immediately. It was the Legend of Mountains and Seas that he had obtained on the first floor of the King Mu Fort's library. He asked slowly, "Who wrote this?"
King Mu took a look, and his expression changed, "Where did Senior Shi get this from?"
"Your King Mu Fort's library!"
Hearing that, King Mu closed his eyes and said regretfully, "I ordered someone to destroy this book a long time ago. I didn't expect that I would still miss something!"
As if sensing Ye Chen's confusion, he forced a smile and said, "Senior Shi, you might not know this, but this is a forbidden book in the Great Li Dynasty. More than a hundred thousand people have died for it. It's not an exaggeration to say that heads are rolling!"
Ye Chen frowned, "Forbidden book?"
"That's right!"
King Mu nodded and said, "20 years ago, when the Great Li Dynasty's king was seriously ill, an old man with the surname Xiao appeared out of nowhere and cured the king's illness. The king asked him what reward he wanted, but he didn't expect that this person didn't want money or power. He only asked for a position in the Hanlin Academy to be in charge of looking after the royal family's books."
'Surname Xiao?'
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed when he heard that.
King Mu continued, "This person reads books in the Hanlin Academy all day long. When everyone ignored his existence, I didn't expect him to write an extremely absurd book one day. He said that there's a world outside the Ancient Desolate Realm called the Celestial Burial Planet …"
The shock in Ye Chen's heart grew stronger, "Continue!"
"The Great Li Dynasty attaches great importance to scholars and cultural freedom. Such a conjecture might be absurd, but logically speaking, it's normal!"
King Mu said slowly, "However, for some reason, the king was suddenly enraged and sent people to capture that person. Unexpectedly, that person ran away, and the king ordered the burning of this book. However, this book was widely circulated at that time. For this reason, the king sent tens of thousands of troops to search for this book. For this reason, more than a hundred thousand heads fell to the ground. From then on, no one dared to touch this taboo!"
Ye Chen secretly frowned and said, "In other words, you guys don't know why the king of the Great Li Dynasty ordered the burning of this book?"
"I don't know. I only know that this book was spread to the territories of other dynasties. The kings of the other dynasties were also enraged and castrated this past with iron and blood!"
Ye Chen said, "What about the person who wrote this book back then?"
King Mu pondered for a few seconds before saying, "This person mysteriously disappeared at that time. It was as if he had evaporated from the world. After 20 years, everyone gradually forgot about him."
Ye Chen frowned when he heard that.
He was already certain that the person who wrote this book was Xiao Buyi because Xiao Buyi had stepped onto the ghost ship 20 years ago. This person seemed to have a relationship with the owner of the ghost ship.
As for how he ended up in the Ancient Desolate Realm, how he treated the king of the Great Li Dynasty, and why he was hunted down, Ye Chen could not figure it out no matter how hard he racked his brains.
King Mu took a good look at him and said hesitantly, "Senior Shi, why do you care so much about this book?"
Ye Chen said without changing his expression, "I don't really care. It's just that the content of the book is ridiculous, but it's quite interesting. That's why I'm interested in the person who wrote it."
With that, he flicked his finger, and three white jade pendants shot towards King Mu. The jade pendants emitted a rich pill fragrance.
King Mu was confused, "What's this?"
Ye Chen smiled lightly, "These are medicinal pills that I refined myself. One of them is a Creation Pill that can help you step into the Pseudo Emperor Stage!"
"What?"
King Mu was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed. He said in disbelief, "It can help me step into the Pseudo Emperor Stage?"
"Of course!"
Ye Chen smiled noncommittally, "All in all, your King Mu Fort has attracted a lot of attention because of me. It's fine if I'm here, but if I'm not, it'll inevitably bring a lot of instability to you guys. This Creation Pill can be considered my compensation to you!"
Before King Mu could calm down, Ye Chen threw another bombshell, "As for the other two bottles, they're your so-called Golden Dragon Pills. They can help your King Mu Fort's innate stage martial artists step into the venerable stage!"
Ye Chen waved and said, "Alright, you guys may leave!"
King Mu could only suppress the excitement in him and put away the medicinal pills. He walked out with Mu Caiwei, who had a complicated expression on her face.
After the two of them left, Ye Chen rubbed his chin and thought to himself, 'Next, I'll think of a way to leave the Ancient Desolate Realm!'
He took out the Forbidden Ancient Desolate Realm Tablet again and started studying it. To his surprise, perhaps it was because he had recovered to the Golden Core stage and his Divine Consciousness had skyrocketed, he actually discovered something new this time.
