Chapter One: Yi Chen
The Dragon Abyss continent is vast and boundless, with countless countries, various sects and clans that are too numerous to count.
Genkō Empire: Nishihira Horse Ranch.
Rumble.
Azure sky with no clouds, on the endless prairie of swaying grass, two hundred thousand robust war horses are galloping southward. The deafening sound of their galloping echoes through the air, making one feel hot-blooded and stirred up.
"Charge!" A excited shout rose from the front of the horse group. A robust black warhorse was galloping forward, a young man sat on its back, his face flushed with excitement.
Judging from his age, the young man was around fifteen or sixteen years old. He wore a simple black long shirt, and his clean face had no adornments. His slightly narrowed eyes occasionally flashed with sharp light.
"You this colored horse, today's state is so poor, didn't that little red bay mare serve you well last night?" Yi Chen said very discontentedly while sitting on the horseback.
"Hush." The black warhorse was extremely spirited, its nostrils flaring with rough breaths, and its body began to shake as it galloped forward, as if trying to throw Yicheng off.
"Is that all you've got, no new tricks up your sleeve?" Yi Chen smiled, unaffected by the turbulence, still sitting steadily on his warhorse.
"Hsss." Provoked, the black warhorse let out a extremely dissatisfied long whinny, and then its two sturdy legs suddenly kicked the ground, its hindquarters rising into the air, a burst of force charging towards Yi Chen.
Yi Chen was shocked, and then he quickly reacted, only to see two strands of strange white energy gushing out from his body, wrapping around his feet and the saddle, allowing him to narrowly escape.
"You're quite the dark flame, resorting to such underhanded tactics. If my 'Soul Power' hadn't advanced to the middle stage of the 'Dark Soul Realm', I'm afraid you might have actually succeeded." With a relaxed tone, Yi Chen withdrew that white energy.
Yi Chen just released is his cultivated soul power, soul power is a special energy contained in the heaven and earth.
In front of it, a small mound gradually appeared. Seeing that familiar place, the black flame became well-behaved and quietly stopped on that mound.
Looking ahead, Yi Chen's face no longer had the excitement from earlier, and his complexion gradually became indifferent.
After a moment, Yi Chen reached into his pocket and pulled out a small booklet, opening it and starting to read.
"There is a special energy hidden between heaven and earth - soul power. The soul cultivators of the Dragon Abyss Continent can absorb soul power and make it their own."
"The human body cannot directly absorb soul power, and needs to use beast souls as containers to hold the power of heaven and earth. The higher the level of the beast soul, the faster the cultivation speed, and the more soul power it can hold." This is the content of the first page, after reading it, Yi Chen turned to the second page.
"A Soul Cultivator can only accept one beast soul in their lifetime. The level of the beast soul directly affects the cultivator's future, so they must be cautious when choosing a beast soul."
"Currently, according to records, the levels of beast souls are divided into one to nine levels. The first-level beast soul is the worst, and the ninth-level beast soul is the best."
The content on the second page was also scarce, and Yi Chen quickly finished reading it. However, his eyebrows furrowed, and he closed his eyes to focus on his inner elixir field.
At this time, there is a group of gas about the size of a walnut floating in the dantian, and a mysterious energy is swimming in that gas.
"Can't I change that?!" Seeing the mass of gas, Yi Chen's eyebrows furrowed even deeper. He opened his eyes and flipped to the last page of the small booklet.
"The levels of Soul Refiners are clearly divided, according to the division of yin and yang and the stars: the Yin Soul Realm is the entry-level realm, while the Star Soul Realm is a more advanced realm."
"Each boundary has: primary, intermediate and advanced stages. Every time a boundary is upgraded, the color of the beast soul and the color of the soul power will change."
There were a few more pages torn off from the back of the booklet by someone, so Yi Chen didn't know what else was recorded.
"My current cultivation is only at the middle stage of the Yin Soul Realm, I don't know when I'll be able to advance to a higher stage." Yi Chen patted the horse and looked around the vast horse farm, his eyes flashing with a hint of melancholy. He said in a low voice, "I've been in this world for 15 years, am I really going to spend my whole life as a 'stable boy'?"
Actually, Yi Chen had a secret, one that belonged only to him, and that was he didn't belong to this world, his soul came from a blue planet.
There was no doubt that Yi Chen had been reborn. Although he still felt a sense of fantasy, the real scene in front of him told him that everything was true.
In his previous life, Yi Chen was an orphan. The words "father" and "mother" were extremely distant to him. He grew up in an orphanage and set out on his own after coming of age.
After socializing for a few years, he finally got fired by his boss after a quarrel with the boss. It's unknown whether it was good luck or bad luck that at the moment he just walked out of the company gate, an unidentified object fell from the sky and knocked him unconscious.
When Yichun woke up, he found himself crossing into the Longyuan Continent and becoming a newborn baby, becoming a direct member of the 'Yi Family', one of the three major families of the Yuanxuan Empire.
The Yi family has been established for over 600 years and controls 70% of the military power of the Yuan Xuan Empire, making it the most prestigious military family.
Yi Chen's grandfather was the head of the Yi family, and his father was the number one general of the Yuan Xuan Empire. It can be said that Yi Chen came into this world with a golden key in hand, destined to be the focus of envy, jealousy, and hatred from all directions.
Although he was very unaccustomed to his new identity and the new world, in this family, Yi Chen felt a warmth that he had never experienced before. Gradually, Yi Chen also thoroughly integrated into this world and accepted his new identity.
"Yi Chen young master is dazing off again in that place. Poor him, if he hadn't only accepted a first-level beast soul, he wouldn't have been exiled to this place."
"What a pity, the Beast Soul and the Cultivator's future are closely related. And his first-level Beast Soul is the worst Beast Soul, being exiled by the family is also a normal thing."
"Speak softly, although Young Master Yi Chen is easy to talk to, don't let him hear you." Two armored soldiers riding war horses galloped by, leaving behind these words.
Although they controlled their voices, they still entered Yichen's ears. At this moment, his face sank and his fists clenched in an instant.
That's right, Yi Chen's beast soul is only first-level, and it's precisely because of this reason that his cultivation has only progressed from initial stage to intermediate stage in half a year.
"Hmm." As if sensing Yi Chen's change in mood, the black flame let out a low, mournful growl, as if comforting him.
"Didn't expect you, this colored horse, to also comfort people. Tonight I'll find a more beautiful hybrid mare for you." His complexion recovering somewhat, Yi Chen patted Xiao Hei's head and let out a gentle laugh.
"It's been half a year, is there really no chance to go back?" Yi Chen sighed quietly and slowly turned his head to look forward, his indifferent expression hiding what he was thinking.
This is a world where the strong are respected. In the past, Yi Chen was under the protection of his clan's elder and didn't have much feeling about it, but now he knows how important strength is.
As a member of the direct line, even if Yi Chen was listed as mediocre, he wouldn't have been exiled to Xiping Horse Ranch. All this was thanks to his peerless genius counterpart, Yi Jie.
Yi Jie is also a member of the Yi family, but he is not a direct descendant, rather the grandson of one of the Yi family's elders. Since childhood, he has been with Yi Chen and Bu Lai, but due to Yi Chen's status, he did not dare to openly compete with Yi Chen.
Since Yi Zhen was covered with the name of mediocre talent, he had been constantly ridiculing and provoking Yi Zhen. Finally, one day, Yi Zhen, who could no longer bear it, angrily struck out and severely injured Yi Jie.
Yi Jie and Yi Chen both entered the Realm of Inheritance, where they received a fifth-level beast soul. Yi Jie was listed as one of the young genius disciples of the Yi family. Within just two months, he had advanced from the initial stage to the middle stage of the Yin Soul Realm, while Yi Chen was still at the initial stage.
The gap between each stage is huge, and according to Yi Chen's initial strength, it's impossible for him to be a match for Yi Jie in the middle stage. But the result was exactly the opposite, Yi Chen actually beat Yi Jie into 'serious injury'.
If Yicheng hadn't remembered wrongly, at that time he hadn't used his soul power yet, just ordinary two punches on Yijie's body, and this could still make him severely injured, the result was truly thought-provoking.
And just as he was about to severely injure Yi Jie, the elders of the family demanded severe punishment for Yi Chen. To protect Yi Chen, his grandfather had no choice but to temporarily compromise and exile Yi Chen to Xiping Horse Farm.
"Isn't it just that you want to drive me out, so you can fight for the future master of the house?" Yi Chen said with a sarcastic tone, recalling what had happened that day.
In the 21st century, Yi Chen's spiritual sustenance was TV dramas and movies. Those TV dramas and movies had played out every possible plot twist, and now they were happening to him - how could he not guess the key to the problem?
As a member of the direct line, even if he was just a mediocre talent, Yi Chen was still the most powerful contender for the future position of family head. The actions of those elders were simply to remove this thorn in their side, Yi Chen.
"For now, let's still follow what Old Master said, quietly accumulating strength and waiting for the day when we're strong enough to return to the Yi family." Yi Chen said in a low voice, recalling the scene when he left the Yi family back then.
Yi Chen's past life was an orphan, which also led to his self-esteem being stronger than that of ordinary people, with a heart that did not admit defeat.
Others think he's mediocre, but he believes in the heavenly principle of rewarding diligence. As long as he puts in effort, there will be returns. One day, he'll use his actions to let the Yi family know that Yi Chen is not mediocre.
"The day I return, will be the day you all tremble for me." Yi Chen's fists slowly clenched, his gaze towards the distance became firm, and a sharp glint flashed in his narrowed eyes.
New book period is a bit difficult to stick to, collection and very important, brothers after reading, trouble to collect and.
