Chapter 20: Star Soul Realm!

  Feeling the strong wind approaching, Yi Chen's heart skipped a beat, and then his eyes flashed with a fierce light. The foot that was originally aimed at Yi Jie's waist changed direction, sweeping towards the incoming fist.

  "Peng." The two collided, and instantly Yi Chen felt a sharp pain in his leg, directly being shaken back a distance. He raised his head to look at the person's gaze flashing with cold color.

  "It's Easy." The person who made the move was actually Yi Jie's only older brother, and one of the strongest among the grown-up geniuses in the Yi family, had already advanced to the high stage of Star Soul Realm!

  "Big brother, kill him." Yi Jie got up from the ground and stood behind Yi Xiao, saying in a fierce tone.

  "Just advancing to Yang Soul Realm and you're already getting arrogant, do you really think no one can control you?" Yi Xiao said calmly with a slight nod.

  "I'm afraid you don't have the guts." He shrugged and said indifferently, "The Ye family has a rule that adult disciples are not allowed to interfere with junior matters. If you don't want to be punished, go ahead and send your dog over."

  "Don't think that just because of this rule, you can be arrogant. After the family gathering is over, your good days will come to an end." Yi Xiao's face was gloomy, and he immediately looked at Liu Yu, saying: "Liu Yu sister, I hope you can keep your promise. I will definitely win the championship of the family gathering, and then you'll marry me."

  "Shameless, no face." Liu Yu's face showed an unnatural expression and said.

  "It doesn't matter, I hope you can keep your promise." With a loud laugh, Yi Xiao swept her cold gaze towards Yi Chen, and then led Yi Jie and the others away.

  "You mediocre talent, I hope you can make it to the top three and stay in Yi's household. Let me see if you can continue to be arrogant." A disdainful laughter echoed from afar.

  Those words were extremely piercing, and Yi Chen's expression became even more indifferent. After they left, he asked: "Liu Yu, what's going on with you guys?"

  "At first, after Young Master left, Yi Xiao kept pestering me and Liu Hong sister. To deal with him, we said to wait until he gets the champion of the clan meeting before talking about it again. Who would have thought that he actually took us seriously."

  "Shameless bastard." Upon hearing Liu Yu's words, Yi Chen's fist clenched in an instant, and he said in a low voice: "If there is a chance, I will definitely slap him in the face at the clan meeting, see how he dares to be arrogant."

  Leaving these words behind, Yi Chen wrapped his arms around Liu Yu's slender waist and disappeared from everyone's sight.

  ……

  "It's strange, what is this black bead thing?" Yi Chen sat on the rooftop, holding a bead in his hand. It looked very ordinary, but it emitted a peculiar fluctuation.

  This pearl was obtained by him in the Oceana Forest and had never had a chance to carefully observe it.

  "Why don't I try using soul power?" Thinking of this, Yi Chen slightly adjusted his soul power and quickly infused it into that black bead.

  "Hum." A strange scene unfolded as the soul force entered the pearl, it suddenly seemed to come alive, lightly quivering before rushing towards Yi Chen's mouth like it had gained a life of its own.

  It was too sudden, and Yi Chen didn't react in time. The bead directly entered his body and quickly swam to his dantian.

  "What's going on?" Yi Chen was shocked and quickly sat up, looking inward at the situation in his dantian, only to discover that the black bead had directly entered his beast soul.

  "Hum." The black bead in the beast soul slightly trembled, releasing a weak energy, its soul power surged like a tide, starting to flow continuously through the meridians and releasing a powerful suction force.

  "The beast soul is operating on its own, this is something that only happens when leveling up, am I about to level up?" Yi Chen exclaimed in surprise at the unbelievable phenomenon.

  "Could it be that pearl is a Soul Stabilizing Stone?" Yi Chen said softly as he gazed at the constantly shaking pearl.

  Apart from Therapeutic Stone and Soul Stone, there are many stones on the mainland that have special effects, among which the one that drives countless people crazy is the Fixation Stone.

  According to records, the Soul-Fixing Stone can directly upgrade a cultivator's rank and even provide an opportunity to directly upgrade their realm. However, this is limited to those below the Zhenyuan Realm and is a rare treasure.

  "It should be a Soul-Stabilizing Stone." Yì Chén had heard of it before, and after continuing to observe for a while, he found that the phenomenon was exactly the same as what he had heard before, which made him even more certain.

  "What I picked up turned out to be a Soul-Stabilizing Stone, but I don't know if it can directly raise my cultivation level." A hot gleam flashed in his eyes, but Yi Chen didn't hold much hope, because the probability of the Soul-Stabilizing Stone allowing a soul cultivator to advance in rank was 10%, and the probability of advancing in realm was only 1%.

  "Rumble." As soon as his voice fell, a dull hum rose from his dantian, and the suction force that seeped out of his body became even stronger. The soul power between heaven and earth came rushing in from all directions, entering Yi Chen's beast soul.

  "A 10% chance, and I actually bumped into it!" The Beast Soul's body was gradually increasing in size, and Yi Chen's face revealed a joyful expression, this was indeed the sign of advancement.

  "Rumble." The suction force disappeared quickly, but just as the heaven and earth soul power was about to disperse, a strange phenomenon reappeared, and the fixed soul stone suddenly shattered, turning into fragments that merged with the soul power.

  "Hiss." A suction force twice as strong as before emanated from his body, and the soul energy between heaven and earth was drawn over once again.

  Due to the enormous amount, the soul force on Yi Chen's body surface, condensed into a thin protective shield.

  "Am I supposed to hit that one percent chance again?" Yi Chen's face flashed with incredulity, but the vast soul power filling his meridians told him this was real.

  He didn't dare think more, Yi Chen quickly closed his eyes and operated the Soul Transfer Technique to control the vast amount of soul power that had been refined.

  "Hum." The beast soul was also undergoing a transformation, constantly compressing itself. With each compression, the beast soul's body would shrink accordingly, but the soul power contained within it became even more refined and immense.

  The color of the beast soul and the soul power also changed from black to gray, which is a unique sign of the third realm, Xīng Hún Jìng!

  "Hiss." When the color had completely turned gray, that suction force only then completely disappeared, and the soul power that had gathered around Yi Chen's body also dispersed.

  Yi Chen didn't dare to cut off the technique, and continued to compress the violently surging soul force, only withdrawing from his cultivation state after it had become extremely pure.

  "Is that how I leveled up?" Looking inward at the grayed beast soul, Yi Chen pinched his cheek, and the slight pain told him he wasn't dreaming.

  After advancing to the Star Soul Realm, the amount of soul power in Yi Chen's body was even more enormous, a full three times that of his peak Yang Soul Realm state, and the two were fundamentally not on the same level.

  Yi Chen now has a hunch, if he lets Yi Jie attack again, he is confident that he can defeat him with one move.

  "It's just that, restricted by the clan rules, Yi Xiao didn't dare use his full strength, otherwise he would have definitely suffered a great loss." Thinking back to his own fight with Yi Xiao, Yi Chen felt a hint of relief in his heart.

  "I swear, if the clan meeting doesn't blow you up, I, Yi Chen, will never be surnamed Yi again." A strong sense of confidence rose in his heart, and Yi Chen's eyes gradually turned cold.

  "Someone's coming." A familiar fluctuation came from afar, Yi Chen took a deep breath and turned his head to look in that direction.

  "Little guy is quite leisurely, so late and still not asleep?" The newcomer was Yi Kui, who pushed a wheelchair to come forward.

  "Dad, you're not sleeping either." He shrugged and a hint of a smile played on Yichen's lips.

  "Looks like you're quite confident about the clan, huh?" Yi Kui said with a smile, but his expression turned serious immediately. "I've heard about what happened this morning. You'll probably encounter a lot of obstacles at the clan meeting. Those elders will try every means to prevent you from entering the top three."

  "When the enemy comes, we'll fight to the end; when the flood comes, we'll dam it up. One by one, we'll take care of them." Yi Chen's face broke into a confident smile as he said this.

  "Not bad, but still be careful, there are a few who aren't much worse than you. Take this and cultivate it, then entering the top three among your peers will give you more confidence." As he spoke, Yi Kui took out a book from his bosom and handed it to Yi Chen.

  "What is this?" Yi Chen's face showed confusion, he stretched out his hand to take the book, and when he saw the big words on the cover, his heart couldn't help but beat faster, then he exclaimed with joy: "It's the Thunderbolt Fist!"

  "That year, the Treasure Pavilion was burned down, and the Heaven Thunder Palm's last three moves were also destroyed. Although there are only two parts left, their power is still quite extraordinary." Yi Kui smiled and said: "Practice well, I hope you won't disappoint your father's efforts."

  The Thunderbolt Palm, although damaged, is still the E family's ultimate technique and not something that ordinary disciples can cultivate. Only a mature genius has the qualifications to do so. And yet, Yi Chen had just turned fifteen and did not possess the qualifications to cultivate the Thunderbolt Palm. His grandfather was breaking clan rules by doing this.

  Of course, this also depends on the situation. If Yichen can achieve good results, those elders will not dare to say anything. But if they fail, what awaits Yichen and his group will be a collective attack by the elders.

  In order to keep Yi Chen in the Yi family, his grandfather had gone to great lengths, which moved Yi Chen deeply and made his face even more determined.

  "The family reunion is just a few days away, you should practice first." With that said, Yi Kui turned around and left.

  "I will definitely not let you down, and on the day when the clan meeting begins, it will be their turn to tremble for me." Holding the book tightly in his hand, a voice echoed in Yi Chen's heart, and then he returned to his room.

  "The final three layers of Tianlei Palm's power are even stronger, unfortunately, it was all burned away by that mysterious great fire." Yi Chen said with great regret.

  Why was the Scripture Pavilion burned down, this is something that Yi Chen has always wanted to know. But it's been fifteen years since then and Yi Chen knows very little about it. The older generation seems to be avoiding talking about it as well, Yi Chen had asked other clan members before but they didn't give him an answer.

  But Yi Chen didn't think much of it, his gaze at the Heavenly Thunder Palm flashed with fervor, his heart began to beat faster, and he took out the Wordless Heavenly Book from his storage ring.

  "The Heavenly Book can repair the Soul Technique and Soul Skills, let's see if it can repair the last three layers of the Thunder Palm." Yi Chen was extremely excited and thrilled, as he had thought about this when he first used the Thunder Palm, and now he could finally test it.

  This week something happened at home, so I can only update once a day. Next week when I get back, I'll resume updating twice a day. The clan meeting will start soon, looking forward to it, please continue to support and collect, and give me some energy!
