"Yes, Master!"
The next moment, the two opened spatial passages in the Soul Realm and entered the Dou Qi Continent directly.
At the same time, Gu Yuan, who had been keeping a close watch on this, also detected this information in an instant, and then the armies of the three races immediately took action.
……
……
Ye Chen finally left Space Number One.
However, before leaving, he left the phoenix egg he had obtained from killing the three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes in the center of the Endless Volcano region in the south of the continent.
With the fire energy here, I believe that the phoenix egg will soon hatch, and then this place, which I named "Ten Thousand Fire Continent," will have its first native creature.
After leaving the Myriad Flames Continent with the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, Ye Chen did not return to the Dou Qi Continent immediately, but went to his own star domain space.
At this moment, the star field space can be considered a part of the vast universe, except that this part is extra and under one's control...
In simpler terms, this star field can be viewed as a galaxy similar to the Milky Way in the original world.
This galaxy contains not only countless stars, but also one hundred and eight material worlds capable of evolving into living beings...
It's like there are 108 Earth-like planets in the Milky Way.
Within this star field, Ye Chen's Refining Heaven Ancient Array floated above the void, and the enormous fire array was still slowly rotating.
Trapped here is the terrifying black flame energy left behind after the Void Devouring Flame was defeated...
Without the control of the Void Devouring Flame Origin Flame, the terrifying flame energy unique to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng would be extremely frightening when it erupted.
Of course, most importantly, wouldn't it be a waste if such pure flame energy just dissipated like that?
With a wave of his arm, the Refining Heaven Ancient Formation opened a deep spatial passage, and Ye Chen and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame then entered.
Of course, besides the endless black flames left behind by the Void Devouring Flame, there was another person in this great formation: Su Lingyin!
The reason Ye Chen left her in this ancient formation was naturally to allow her to devour and fuse with the complete essence left behind by the Void Devouring Flame.
The entire bloodline of the Devouring Spirit King...
After entering the formation, Ye Chen quickly found Su Lingyin, dressed in a white dress, sitting cross-legged in a sea of black flames. At this moment, she was emanating an extremely strange aura, constantly devouring massive amounts of terrifying black flames and then converting them into his own power at an astonishing speed.
"Is she... about to break through to the eighth-star Dou Sheng? That's truly terrifying..." Even Ye Chen couldn't help but shake his head in amazement as he sensed Su Lingyin's transformation.
It's important to understand that time flows at a normal rate within this star field, meaning Su Lingyin has only been cultivating here for about five months...
In just five months, he's about to break through from the early stage of Seven-Star Dou Sheng to Eight-Star Dou Sheng. At this rate of cultivation, he'd probably make everyone on the Dou Qi Continent ashamed to death!
Of course, the immense energy left behind by the Void Devouring Flame is definitely a factor, but for ordinary people, even for a cheat-like player like Ye Chen, the boost he received from subduing the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was far less than what Su Lingyin is experiencing now...
"That's good. Even if your identity is exposed, you won't have to worry about those ancient races causing trouble anymore..." Ye Chen thought with a light laugh. "In that case, I'll lend you a hand..."
The next moment, Ye Chen formed a hand seal, and then the originally slowly operating Refining Heaven Ancient Array suddenly accelerated with a rumble. As a result, a massive amount of black flames were driven to Su Lingyin's side by the array and were frantically absorbed by her, who was like a black hole.
As this happened, Su Lingyin's previously fluctuating aura suddenly surged by a level, directly breaking through the bottleneck of the Seven-Star Dou Sheng and advancing into the ranks of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng...
Zhiyuanxing
Chapter 539 Departure from the Black Corner Region
After leaving the star field and seeing the women around him again, Ye Chen discovered that apart from Zi Yan's minor breakthrough, the other women's strength had not changed much.
However, this is normal. After all, you can't expect a Dou Sheng powerhouse to have a major breakthrough every now and then, just like before...
Unless you can obtain a ninth-grade elixir or a rare treasure containing immense energy, such as a top-five different flame.
"Your strength has broken through again?" A woman in a dress named Cai Die approached Ye Chen, leaning slightly closer to him and staring at him with a serious expression as she asked.
Ye Chen smiled slightly, took the other's hand, patted it lightly, and said, "You could say that, but it's probably not what you think. I'll tell you the whole story in a while, and give you a surprise then..."
On the other side, Little Fairy Doctor smiled gently and teased, "Just don't let it turn into a fright..."
"That's right, big brother, you're such a pervert, you're bound to come up with something we can't even imagine..." Zi Yan walked up and, as if vying for favor, directly blocked Ye Chen's other arm.
Although she was already the Dragon Emperor, Zi Yan never displayed the majesty of the Dragon Emperor in front of Ye Chen and the other girls, and remained as frank and adorable as ever.
Occasionally, she would have a subtle but intense rivalry with Cai Die, while neutral figures like Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin would choose to watch the show from the sidelines...
Besides Cai Die, Zi Yan, and the other three girls, Cao Ying and Dan Chen, who also have ambiguous relationships with Ye Chen, belong to the same team. Although the two are also very angry with Ye Chen, who is a womanizer, they will unite against the common enemy when they encounter an "external foe".
This has led to the fact that the two small groups rarely appear in front of Ye Chen at the same time nowadays.
It's only because the author is such a loser that he can't write any palace intrigue dramas; otherwise, with this kind of plot, he could easily write a multi-hundred-thousand-word epic about Zhen Huan...
"Alright, let's put those things aside for now. What's the situation in Zhongzhou now? What moves have the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan made?" Ye Chen changed the subject and asked Cai Die.
When it came to serious matters, the women all quieted down.
After gathering her thoughts, Cai Die said, "The situation in Zhongzhou is relatively stable now. However, the previous war caused Zhongzhou to lose a lot of powerful figures. Now, the overall strength of Zhongzhou has dropped by almost a third. Many sects that were originally in seclusion have disappeared. Some sects that were still active in Zhongzhou have also chosen to close their doors and recover their strength."
"However... this is actually a good thing for the Ye family, or the Dan Tower Alliance..."
Looking at the slight smile on Cai Die's lips, Ye Chen seemed to see the snake-woman queen who ruled over the region when they first met. Although the strength between the two had changed dramatically, the current Cai Die had a more gentle and considerate temperament, which was fundamentally different from the cold and aloof queen of the past.
Of course, Ye Chen deserves credit for all of this, and quite a lot of credit at that...
"How is the family situation now?"
Although Ye Zhong is the one who leads the Ye family, given the relationship between Cai Die and the other women and Ye Chen, they are naturally very clear about the Ye family's every move.
....
"The development of the family has naturally gone smoothly. Our Ye family's original focus has always been on the Dan Region and the Northern Region of Zhongzhou..."
As for the Dan Domain, there's no need to elaborate. Regarding the Northern Region of Central State, with the support of the Ye family, the Han family, to which Han Yue belongs, has become the most powerful force in the entire Northern Region. Together with several sects supported by the Ye family, they have completely taken control of the entire Northern Region.
As for other regions, because of the presence of other forces within the Danta Alliance and those ancient races, we haven't attacked them yet.
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Very good. The Ye family will no longer need to expand its influence. I will talk to Grandpa about this in person later."
After this Dou Di Cave incident is over, I might have the entire family relocate. There's no point in having more of these places...
"This...relocate the entire family? Young master, you plan to relocate the entire family..."
"Where? A small world like those ancient races?" Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but ask after hearing Ye Chen's grand plan.
"Hehe, it's a secret. You'll find out when the time comes..." Ignoring the eager looks from the four women around him, Ye Chen kept them in suspense once again.
"What the heck..."
Ye Chen's words earned him four disgruntled protests and four pairs of charming eye rolls.
Ye Chen chuckled, unconcerned, and said, "Let's continue..."
Unfortunately, Butterfly wasn't cooperating, and said irritably, "Continue what? I've said everything I needed to say... As for wanting to know about the movements of the Dan Tower Alliance or those ancient races, go ask your two little lovers!"
"Uh..." Ye Chen was speechless for a moment.
Well, as one of the three giants of the Pill Tower, just like himself, strictly speaking, Cao Ying and Dan Chen are on par with Ye Chen in the Pill Tower.
During Ye Chen's absence, the entire Pill Tower was led by the two women, and they were in charge of many things, or rather, Cao Ying, this vixen, was in charge...
I never expected these women to cause trouble here...
"I'll teach you brats a lesson sooner or later..." Muttering to himself, Ye Chen could only turn around and go find the other two.
However, just as Ye Chen was about to step out the door...
"Oh, right." A calm, serene voice suddenly rang out. "You'd better come back soon, or if you dare not return today... Katcha!"
Seeing the woman's expressionless threatening words, Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine, and his scalp tingled instantly.
"You dare threaten me? Just you wait!" Ye Chen retorted fiercely, not to be outdone.
Beside her, Zi Yan said with a grin, "Hehehe, big brother, don't be angry. We have a surprise for you when you come back tonight..."
Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin nodded repeatedly in agreement, saying, "Really, really, we've prepared a surprise for you, young master, so please don't miss it..."
"Oh... does this mean there really is some kind of surprise?" Ye Chen raised his eyebrows immediately.
Looking at the shy faces of Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin among the four girls, Ye Chen's mind was instantly filled with countless images of teachers tirelessly teaching...
....
"Holy crap! These women can't be that bold... Could it be...?"
"No, no, stop! I can't think about it, or I'll get censored..."
He quickly cut off his unsettling thoughts and fled the room as if escaping.
Behind him, the charming laughter of the four women drifted from afar, causing Ye Chen to feel another surge of blood and qi.
"Hmph! I'll deal with you vixens when I get back..."
……
……
We arrived at the conference hall on the top floor of the Dan Tower.
The conference hall was so empty at this moment, with only two figures sitting on the left and right of the three leaders at the head of the table.
Ye Chen looked closely and saw Cao Ying on the left wearing a black patterned dress, who was casually fiddling with her blood-red jade-like nails with her head down.
On the other side, Dan Chen was still dressed in a pure white dress. Although she tried her best to ignore Ye Chen, her restless appearance clearly indicated that she had been coerced by someone...
Ye Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes and walked over to the two women.
These women always have to pull off some fancy tricks...
Ye Chen didn't say anything, but walked directly to his seat and sat down between the two women.
Seeing Ye Chen's actions, Cao Ying was speechless. This shameless man was really... speechless.
Sitting in the middle, Ye Chen first glanced at Cao Ying, who was still ignoring him. He felt that this vixen was definitely not a good starting point, so he immediately shifted his target...
Faced with Ye Chen's burning gaze, the thin-skinned Dan Chen instantly couldn't withstand it, and even...
In less than a minute, they surrendered.
"Hey, what are you looking at...?"
Having lost her composure, Dan Chen let out a coquettish cry, then shyly pinched Ye Chen's arm with her small hand, wanting to teach him a lesson.
Ye Chen chuckled, reached out and grabbed the other person's small hand, then began to knead it.
On the other side, watching the two scoundrels who were almost entangled together, she was so angry that she almost died. She cursed Dan Chen, her useless teammate, in her heart. No wonder she was completely under this man's thumb!
"Hmph! Do you want me to make room for you two...?" Cao Ying said to Ye Chen and the other person with a forced smile.
Dan Chen couldn't stand such teasing and was immediately embarrassed, so she quickly broke free from Ye Chen's grasp.
Ye Chen coughed lightly to appear more serious, then chuckled as he faced Cao Ying and said, "It's been a while, Ying'er. Your strength has improved rapidly; you've already broken through to the Dou Sheng realm..."
Unfortunately, Cao Ying didn't seem to take this as a compliment. Her expression immediately darkened. "Are you reminding me that I'm not good enough?"
Among the women connected to Ye Chen, Cao Ying and Dan Chen are unconsciously the weakest. However, after Dan Chen fully awakened the Devouring Spirit Clan bloodline with her mother's help, her strength also increased significantly, reaching the peak of a one-star Dou Sheng.
Moreover, for the Devouring Spirit Clan, improving their strength is much easier than for those with other bloodlines, let alone for ordinary people like Cao Ying.
....
If it weren't for her position as the president of the Pill Tower and Ye Chen's unwavering support, Cao Ying's chances of breaking through to the Dou Sheng level would have been extremely slim, let alone at such a young age...
Look at the previous Pill Tower, so many old monsters with outstanding talents, and so many pills to nourish them, but how many of them could actually break through to the Dou Sheng level?
Cao Ying knew very well how she acquired her current strength, but it was precisely because of this that this proud and arrogant woman was so sensitive and always wanted to prove that she was worthy of this man, and not someone's appendage!
Ye Chen could guess what Cao Ying was thinking, but he didn't know how to persuade her. He could only gently stretch out his arms and tenderly pull her into his embrace.
"You know that's not what I meant..."
In an instant, Cao Ying's body stiffened abruptly, then quickly softened and pressed tightly against the other person's chest.
"Hmph, this time I'll let you off the hook..."
Her gentle words carried no threat whatsoever, causing Dan Chen on the other side to purse her lips in disapproval.
I thought you were so tough, but you got taken down in one move...
"Alright, let's get down to business!"
She pushed the man away from her embrace, and then, with a serious expression on her face, she turned to work, watching his speechless face.
"You came just in time. I just received news that the Ancient Clan, Thunder Clan, and Flame Clan have all begun to mobilize in large numbers, seemingly having discovered the Soul Clan's movements..."
