Chapter 63: Fury Shatters Mountains and Rivers

  The people of the tribe all lowered their heads, and Ye Cangxuan was still very majestic among them.

  "As soon as I came in, you were all arguing nonstop and it made me forget the main thing. Now, let me announce something: Chen Er passed Master Li's test at the Lianyun Eighteen Fort martial arts competition, and Master Li thinks Chen Er has exceptional talent. He decided to recommend Chen Er to become a disciple of Xuan Yi Yao Zun. Who knows, maybe in ten or twenty years, our Ye Family Fort will produce another Yao Zun!" Ye Cangxuan said with a smile on his face, feeling proud as he announced the news to the family members.

  The crowd was stunned, a Medicine God? They suddenly felt that their brains were not enough, the entire Western Wu Empire with billions of people and tens of thousands of families had only produced one Medicine God, Xuan Yi. If the Ye family gave birth to a Medicine God, what an honor it would be!

  "Sixth Uncle, is this true?" Ye Zhan Long asked in a trembling voice, his tone shaking with the implications of what a Medicine Cauldron meant.

  "Am I still going to deceive you?" Ye Cangxuan's face turned stern.

  "Sixth Uncle, I didn't mean it that way..." Ye Zhan Long hastily said. Seeing the smile on Ye Cangxuan's face, he felt a sense of relief and suddenly thought of something, bursting into loud laughter.

  No wonder the patriarch brought back so many elixirs from Master Li, it turns out that the patriarch was actually chosen by Master Li, and all the people in the hall were overjoyed.

  "Alright, everyone can disperse now! The day after tomorrow, Yejia Fortress will hold a celebration, and at that time, the other fortress owners of Lianyun Eighteen Fortresses as well as the family heads of various families from Donglin County will also come. You all go back and prepare, during this period, the patrol within the fortress cannot be relaxed." Ye Cangxuan waved his hand and said.

  The crowd of people from various tribes were all abuzz, each face filled with joy. One by one, they dispersed, and soon the news that Ye Chen would be taken as a disciple by Xuan Yi's Medicine尊 spread throughout the entire Ye Family Fortress. Many members of the Ye family were overjoyed to the point of tears, and many people spontaneously offered incense and worshiped their ancestors. The atmosphere within the fortress was even more lively than during the ancestral worship ceremony.

  "Chen Er, you're exhausted after a whole day, go back and rest for a while." Ye Cangxuan patted Ye Chen's head, saying kindly.

  "Uh-huh, Uncle should go back too." Ye Chen said.

  Everyone dispersed, and those who were injured all went back to treat their wounds.

  Ye Chen returned to his residence, today's battle had given him a lot of insight, and his Xuan Qi had even broken through the 7th rank, reaching the 8th rank. He sat down to examine his own Xuan Qi, and the amount of Xuan Qi in his body was still the same as before, bursting all the way to the peak of the 8th rank. Who knows when he would break through to the 9th rank? Due to the special nature of the Xuan Qi within his body, Ye Chen didn't even know what level his true strength had reached. Yun Yi Xuan couldn't even withstand a single punch from him, could it be that his strength was close to that of Uncle Master's, reaching the middle stage of the 9th rank?

  This idea made Ye Chen's heart tremble for a moment, to know that his uncle and father were both god-like existences in his mind, who would have thought that one day his own strength would be on par with theirs, his strength had increased too quickly, he was still adapting to this change.

  He glanced at Ali on his shoulder, and Ali was a bit spiritless after using too much of her illusion technique when fighting against Niu Lao Er. Ye Chen poured the Xuan Qi from within his body into Ali's, and Ali slowly recovered.

  Ye Chen sat down, meditated for a while, and consolidated his current cultivation. When fighting against Niu Lao Er, Ye Chen had already integrated the Red Cloud Sealing Heaven martial skill, reaching the Great Through Realm. To practice a martial skill to the Great Perfection Realm, one needs extraordinary comprehension ability and countless trials. Anyway, the Red Cloud Sealing Heaven can be considered mastered. Ye Chen turned to the second page of Palm Breaking Universe, and a line of words entered his eyes.

  Palm Breaks Through the Universe Second Move: Enraged Shattering of Mountains and Rivers.

  This move is called "Shattered Mountain and River", a 7th-grade lower-level martial skill, the power of which far surpasses that of Red Cloud Sealing Heaven! It uses a special method to condense the entire body's aura into something as hard as steel, and with one palm strike, it can shatter stone tablets and crush rocks.

  This move has a hint of Golden Thread martial arts technique amidst its fury and destruction of mountains and rivers.

  Ye Chen muttered the incantation of Nu Suishanhe, firmly remembering it in his heart, and felt a thrill of excitement. This time, after reciting it silently, he gained some insight.

  Ye Chen was puzzled, thinking why his father and the others had to cultivate a third-grade martial skill for two or three years. Weren't all martial skills easy to cultivate? This "Nu Shui Shan He" move wasn't that complicated, it shouldn't take much time to cultivate, so why did they need so many years?

  If Ye Zhan Tian and Ye Cang Xuan knew what Ye Chen was thinking at this moment, they would probably vomit blood.

  The reason why Ye Chen's leadership ability has been upgraded to a new level after practicing the Nine-Star Tianchen Jue, so these martial skills can be easily mastered.

  As night fell, Yejia Fortress returned to its usual tranquility. After the battle during the day, the guards inside the fortress were more vigilant than usual.

  In the small courtyard, Ye Chen sat in the grass, cultivating his skills, surrounded by pure and refined spiritual energy that lingered around him like star clouds in the sky. Ah Li, sitting next to Ye Chen, was swallowing these energies with big gulps, her fur becoming increasingly shiny, emitting a bright glow in the dark night. Her four tails were constantly swishing back and forth, and before long, a small, fluffy tail had grown on her buttocks, just like a rabbit's tail, very short.

  Constantly absorbing the Xuan Qi that was emanating from Ye Chen's body, Ali's aura became increasingly similar to Ye Chen's, almost indistinguishable.

  Gradually, Ye Chen entered a mystical realm, his soul drifting slowly in all directions. Above his body, a soldier clad in golden armor condensed into being. This soldier was even more majestic and powerful than before. Ye Chen knew that this soldier was just an illusion, without any attacking power. However, there was one thing worth getting excited about: as he gradually refined his soul, the soldier seemed to have a tendency to solidify.

  I don't know what will happen after condensing, whether there is any attacking power. If it has attacking power after condensing, then in battle, this divine soul may produce unexpected effects. I recall that red wolf being scared away by my own divine soul and shouting something about "Condense the mind and transform into a shape" and "Yao Wang" before leaving, which also made me strongly curious about this thing called divine soul.

  The range of divine soul spreading to the surroundings is also larger than before, and it can cover a radius of about three miles around, shrouding everything in divine soul. Looking far into the distance, it seems that you can vaguely see Yunjia Fortress, but it's very blurry. When looking even further away, there is a feeling of strain on the divine soul. Ye Chen retracted his divine soul and placed it on Ah Ling beside him. A faint red glow was emanating from within Ah Ling's body, hidden deep within her soul. This red glow gave Ye Chen a slight shock, as he could feel that it was slowly sprouting, with an affinity to his own divine soul, even sharing the same aura, and its power was astonishing.

  Wasn't it that Ah Li absorbed the Xuan Qi in his body and also produced a divine soul similar to his?

  For now, Ye Chen didn't want to think about those things anymore. He continued to focus on his cultivation and entered the state of Dao Yi Jing. The Xuan Qi inside his body was growing rapidly.

  Time flew quickly, and it was around three watches in the night when Ye Chen finally stopped his cultivation. He slowly exhaled a breath of air, and the Xuan Qi inside his body became even more substantial. He didn't know when he would be able to break through to the 9th rank. Ye Chen thought that all along, he had been encountering 9th rank experts, but he had never known what it was like to be a 10th rank expert. It was said that a 10th rank expert could sweep across the entire Donglin County, possessing the power of the Ten Symbols. He wondered what kind of state that would be.

  "I don't know when I can reach the realm of a 10th-level expert." Ye Chen thought to himself, but one mouthful of air won't make him fat, he still needs to take it slow.
