Ye Chen continued to channel the Celestial Martial Chi. Two cycles… Three cycles….

An hour passed by with every cycle that Ye Chen had channeled the Celestial Martial Chi.

As the weeks went on, Ye Chen felt his body being filled with Celestial Chi. Under the nourishment of the Celestial Martial Chi, the nine pearls materialized from the Nine Astras within his dantian became increasingly tough. He could vividly sense that his Celestial Chi cultivation base had taken another large step forward.

After thirty-six weeks, Ye Chen’s meridians had reached a point of extreme resilience. His dantian had also expanded and his Celestial Chi cultivation base had advanced to mid-Heavenly Venerable Rank!

Ye Chen did not expect that under the effects of the Celestial Martial Chi he could so quickly break through beginner Heavenly Venerable Rank. Having entered mid-Heavenly Venerable Rank, Ye Chen was overjoyed. He owed it to Master Lion’s insight, otherwise, he would be completely oblivious to the treasure he had with him!

Ye Chen released his Astral Body and it materialized into the gold-armored soldier. The gold-armored soldier hung in mid-air, looking tougher than it did in the past. Strange drawings flashed on its gold armor which gave it an intimidating and majestic aura. Along with Ye Chen’s Celestial Chi cultivation base breakthrough, the gold-armored soldier’s strength had also advanced from beginner to mid-Mystique Venerable Rank.

Ye Chen was thrilled with his improvement. After all this time, he had finally broken through into another tier. Though he was still far below Godly Venerable Rank and Daemon King Rank, and below Peerless Power and Grand Supreme Stage, at the very least, he was improving and catching up. One day, he would also be able to reach those heights.

‘One day, I’ll grasp my fate in my own hands instead of being just an insignificant ant in your eyes!’

The gold-armored soldier stood tall in the air. When it swung its saber forward, “boom boom boom”, waves of sword energy that glowed in purple slammed into the sea. The sea surface rocked violently with raging waves and boiling steam erupted from the sea.

The gold-armored soldier kept firing powerful, violent energy. Ye Chen, who had just advanced, still could not fully control such powers. He kept expelling the energy within.

Far away, Little Wingsy, who was practicing Absolute Zero Freezing Hell, also stopped and looked at Ye Chen.

“For a mere mid-Heavenly Venerable Rank to be able to use Astral Externalization like a Daemon King. The gold-armored soldier even has the strength of a mid-Mystique Venerable Rank… This is extremely bizarre,” muttered Elder Tuntian who had been residing inside the Soul Pearl and observing Ye Chen from faraway. This was the first time he had ever witnessed something like this. Ye Chen’s body was filled with mysteries.

In the past, Elder Tuntian had managed to get his hands on some books that concerned matters such as Heavenly Foretelling. Over the past few thousand years, when he was bored inside the Soul Pearl, he would learn a little Heavenly Foretelling. He foretold his own life before. In his lifetime, he would be riddled with bad luck and face countless dangers. It seemed that only by being in the company of people who were blessed by great luck would his streak of misfortune be broken. Several days ago, he tried to foretell the fate and fortune of Ye Chen. It turned out that he could not read anything about Ye Chen’s fate or fortune. This person was truly mysterious. So, he decided he was going to stick with Little Wingsy and see how Ye Chen’s fortunes play out.

“Master, when will I become like Big Brother Ye Chen and able to create a gigantic snake?” Little Wingsy thought that once his martial art had reached a certain level, then he would also be able to perform Astral Externalization as well. He asked curiously.

“Even though you’re an ancient mutant, you’re still just a mystical beast. Only Celestial Beasts can use Astral Externalization,” Elder Tuntian replied.

“Then I will never be able to materialize a giant snake? But Big Brother Ye Chen isn’t a Celestial Beast either. How can he use Astral Externalization?” Little Wingsy asked, sulking. He thought about how cool it would be if he could also materialize a gigantic snake.

This was also what Elder Tuntian was the most confused about. He said after a moment of silence, “As the legends foretold, when a person’s soul is so powerful that it reaches an invincible and eternal stage, they’ll be able to project their spirit. It’s said that only the ancient great beings were able to do that. The ancient beings don’t refer to their spirit projection as Psyche. They call it Primordial Spirit!”

“Primordial Spirit? You’re saying that what Big Brother Ye Chen materializes is also the Primordial Spirit?” Little Wingsy asked.

“I’m not sure either.” Elder Tuntian shook his head. “Little Wingsy, hurry up and train. Otherwise, the gap between you and Ye Chen is only going to grow wider.”

“Hm!” After hearing Elder Tuntian’s words, Little Wingsy suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

Little Wingsy had been able to learn Absolute Zero Freezing Hell. In terms of its strength, even a mid-Mystique Venerable Rank fighter would be no match for Little Wingsy. Furthermore, Little Wingy’s body was on par with a Daemon King. After he had cultivated demonic techniques, the scales on Little Wingsy’s body glinted a shiny black color and had unique energy seeping out of them.

Recently, Little Wingsy’s injuries were also quickly recovering. According to Elder Tuntian’s estimation, Little Wingsy would recover his Daemon King level strength within a year.

The events in the Exclusion Zone and the appearance of the Godly Venerable Rank fighter, Fu Yu, had a large impact on Little Wingsy. Little Wingsy gritted his teeth, held his head down, and trained fervently to become stronger. That was why he was able to so quickly cultivate Absolute Zero Freezing Hell to Minor Advance Level.

After Little Wingsy cast Absolute Zero Freezing Hell, layers of thick ice formed on the sea within a few hundred meters radius. Blades of sharp icicle glimmered in the air.

As Ye Chen and Little Wingsy were cultivating, the chirping sounds of a bird came from the skies above. The Golden Sun Condor had returned!

Ye Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, suddenly opened his eyes. After receiving the message the Golden Sun Condor had delivered to him, he furrowed his brows. To think that the Nanman Kingdom could not hold themselves back and already waged war against the Xiwu Empire!

It looked like they would have to rush back!

“Little Wingsy, we’re going back to the Xiwu Empire!” Ye Chen informed Little Wingsy as he hopped onto the Golden Sun Condor.
