Supreme Lord of Towers

”Oh my! Chen’s True Qi is already no weaker than mine. What kind of opportunity did he encounter to be able to develop so many Seas of Qi in such a short time?” In the room, Xiao Hui’s pupils suddenly contracted as she became extremely excited, her body trembling violently.

One must know that ten days ago, Ye Chen was just an ordinary person with shattered Dantian, unable to develop even a single Sea of Qi.

Yet, within a mere ten days, he developed ten Seas of Qi, no weaker than Xiao Hui, a cultivator who had been training for years.

This is simply a miracle.

”Good, truly wonderful. Chen, I always knew you would rise one day.” Beside him, Ye Ming’s eyes shot out beams of excitement, looking delighted beyond belief.

Though Ye Chen’s Dantian was shattered from a young age, Ye Ming never regarded him as an ordinary person unable to cultivate.

In contrast, he always believed that Ye Chen would amaze people one day.

After all, Ye Chen is a descendant of the legendary Divine Spirit Family.

Despite the Celestial Flame Dynasty being full of strong individuals, they would be nothing more than a joke in front of the Divine Spirit Family.

The Divine Spirit Family only needs to send out a slightly stronger presence to utterly annihilate the Royal Family of the Celestial Flame Dynasty.

Hence, Ye Chen’s ability to develop ten Seas of Qi in such a short time didn’t surprise Ye Ming; rather, he felt it was natural.

”Foster father, foster mother, with my current strength, as long as I don’t venture too deep into the Canglan Mountain Range, I can protect myself, so you don’t need to worry about me.” Ye Chen withdrew his True Qi into his Sea of Qi, smiling slightly at Ye Ming and Xiao Hui.

”Chen, you go ahead, but remember to be cautious. Besides demon beasts, there are cultivators from other families in the Canglan Mountain Range. Try not to provoke them unless absolutely necessary.” Ye Ming couldn’t help but admonish Ye Chen.

”Yes, foster father.” Ye Chen nodded and then strode towards a secret chamber.

Currently, Ye Mansion was entirely under surveillance by Ye Kun’s spies.

Once Ye Chen left Ye Ming’s residence, he would be spotted by these spies.

However, even Ye Kun didn’t know that Ye Ming’s residence had a hidden passage leading directly out of Ye Mansion.

As of now, only Ye Ming and his wife, along with Ye Chen, knew about this secret.

All others remain completely oblivious.

”Brother Ye Qi, had it not been for you saving me back then, I would’ve been killed by demon beasts in the Canglan Mountain Range. Sadly, I wasn’t able to take good care of Chen due to my limited ability.

Fortunately, Chen has gradually grown strong. I hope he can smoothly enter Celestial Flame Academy for cultivation before my cultivation completely disappears.” Watching Ye Chen’s disappearing figure, Ye Ming couldn’t help feeling a wave of guilt.

Back then, during his training in the Canglan Mountain Range, he almost died fighting against a Tier Two demon beast rivaling a Qi Dao Master.

It was Ye Qi, Ye Ming’s father, who saved him.

Since then, Ye Qi entrusted Ye Chen to Ye Ming’s care, while he went alone to seek revenge against the Ye Clan.

From then on, Ye Qi never appeared again.

And over the years, Ye Ming continuously fulfilled his promise to Ye Qi, taking excellent care of Ye Chen.

But now, his Dantian was severely damaged, and his cultivation could disappear at any moment, making it difficult for him to continue caring for Ye Chen.

Hence, he truly felt guilty towards Ye Qi.

”Chen, don’t worry. Even if it costs me my life, I’ll make sure Ye Kun hands over a spot in the enrollment examination. With your talent, entering the Celestial Flame Academy shouldn’t be a challenge at all.” Ye Ming said coldly.

”Husband, don’t rush. I will surely find a way to secure a spot for Chen in the enrollment examination. Don’t forget that our Xiao Family has ten spots as well.” Xiao Hui nestled against Ye Ming’s shoulder, speaking gently to him.

The Xiao Family, like the Ye Family, is one of the three major families in Kunzhou Prefecture, thus possessing ten spots each year for the Celestial Flame Academy’s enrollment examination.

And Xiao Hui, being the cousin of the Xiao Family’s patriarch, should be able to secure a spot for Ye Chen.

”My lady, marrying you was the luckiest thing in my life.” Ye Ming’s heart warmed, pulling Xiao Hui into his embrace.

”It’s been seven days, and that waste Ye Chen hasn’t left Ye Ming’s residence. Let’s see how long he can endure.” Outside Ye Ming’s residence, a cultivator from the Ye Family sneered.

He was one of Ye Kun’s spies positioned here.

Once he noticed Ye Chen had left the residence, he would immediately report to Ye Kun.

However, he was unaware that Ye Chen had already left Ye Mansion via the secret passage.

”I have never been to the Canglan Mountain Range. I wonder if I will have any gains this time.” Beyond Ye Mansion, on a wide street, Ye Chen hurried towards Kunzhou Prefecture City.

His entire body was concealed in a black robe, wearing a bamboo hat, making it impossible for anyone to recognize him.

An hour later.

Ye Chen appeared in the wilderness outside Kunzhou Prefecture City. Ahead stood towering mountain ranges, resembling ferocious Ancient Fierce Beasts curled up on the vast land.

These mountains were precisely the Canglan Mountain Range.

Each year, many cultivators from Kunzhou Prefecture entered the Canglan Mountain Range to hunt demon beasts.

Demon beasts are filled with treasures. Their flesh is extraordinarily delicious, and consuming it can enhance a cultivator’s physique.

Some rare demon beasts even have flesh capable of strengthening a cultivator’s bloodline.

Apart from the flesh, the horns and claws of demon beasts are superb materials for crafting weapons.

However, the most valuable items on demon beasts are their beast cores.

Beast cores are the source of a demon beast’s power, containing large amounts of Essence of Demonic Power. Refining them into elixirs can have effects comparable to Profound Spirit Stones.

If some extremely powerful Divine Soul Masters could refine beast cores into elixirs rivaling Earth Spirit Stones.

But such elixirs were prohibitively expensive, beyond what ordinary cultivators could afford.

Even within Celestial Flame Academy, those obtaining such high-quality elixirs were rare.

However, while demon beast cores can be refined into elixirs, they can’t be directly absorbed by cultivators. Otherwise, the demonic power inside could invade at any moment, potentially leading to an explosive death.

Thus, since ancient times, any cultivator with a smidgen of knowledge wouldn’t rashly absorb the power within a beast core.

However, Ye Chen was different.

Nurtured by Evolutionary Power, his Dantian’s potential had been entirely excavated, allowing him to withstand far more strength than ordinary elixirs.

So, even directly absorbing the energy from beast cores posed no problem for him.

This was the primary reason he came to the Canglan Mountain Range to hunt demon beasts.

If he could not directly absorb the energy within beast cores, no matter how many demon beasts he hunted, what significance would it have? He wouldn’t be able to enhance his cultivation.

Roar.

Soon, Ye Chen stepped into the Ancient Forest within the Canglan Mountain Range.

Beastly roars filled his ears, sounding dreadfully terrifying.

”So many demon beasts here! Just upon entering, I can hear their roars.” Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he dashed into the depths of the Ancient Forest.

He was ready to begin his hunt.
