231: Breakthrough to the Great Vehicle Perfection, Transformation into Immortal Herb

It was getting late. Chen Yuan stood up, flicked his sleeve, and said to Princess:

"Princess, I will be going into seclusion for a while. You must properly comprehend everything I taught you today."

Now that he had a place to stay, he could settle down.

He could focus on improving his strength first.

"Yes!" Princess bowed respectfully. "Then, Teacher, this Disciple will take her leave!"

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

After Princess left, Chen Yuan returned to his room and casually set up an Eighth-rank Formation.

Immediately afterward, he took out the Space-Time Crystal Core.

As he injected his spiritual power, the time-space cultivation chamber opened once more.

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged and opened the System panel.

The Emotion Value column was over two hundred million.

"Little Cherry, exchange ten bottles of nine heavens star liquid for me."

[Received!]

In the next moment, Chen Yuan had ten more bottles of nine heavens star liquid in his hand, costing a total of one hundred million, which was enough to raise his Cultivation to Mahayana Perfection.

Cultivating knows no time; in the blink of an eye, four months had passed inside the time-space cultivation chamber.

When Chen Yuan opened his eyes, the terrifying Spiritual Power around him swept across Heaven and Earth.

Mahayana Perfection.

"Next, it's time to Breakthrough to Undergoing Tribulation!"

Cultivating the Tribulation Transcendence Stage requires the use of a Tribulation Transcendence Pill.

The Tribulation Transcendence Pill is a Ninth-rank Medicinal Pill.

The only Ninth-rank Alchemist currently alive is the Old Ancestor of the Mo Family.

That is the Mo Family Old Ancestor who has stepped into the ranks of the Immortal.

His status in the Heavenly Palace cannot be underestimated.

Inside the Fire Cloud Merchant Guild,

Chen Yuan looked at the information in his hand, gaining a general understanding of the power distribution across the entire Divine Province and the news about the Heavenly Palace.

The Divine Province has six major First-rank powers.

Qitian Dynasty, Mo Family, Gongsun Family, Heavenly Sword Sect, and Fire Cloud Merchant Guild.

"No wonder the Fire Cloud Merchant Guild can open branches all over the world; it turns out there is an Immortal overseeing it."

Above the six major First-rank powers is the supreme organization that governs the entire Human Race—the Heavenly Palace.

The Heavenly Palace usually hides in the common world and does not appear easily. However, once a force that threatens the development of the Human Race emerges, they will show themselves.

This was recorded in the Fire Cloud Merchant Guild's intelligence report.

As for the actual situation, Chen Yuan was not sure. He didn't fully believe it; anything not seen with his own eyes could be false.

Inside the Imperial Palace of the Qitian Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the Formation inside the Tranquility Heart Garden can be confirmed to be an Eighth-rank Formation,"

A Seventh-rank Formation Celestial Master of the Qitian Dynasty reported loudly.

"Oh?" Emperor Qi Beichen's eyes lit up. "Does that mean Chen Yuan is also an Eighth-rank Formation Master?"

"Precisely!"

"Hahahaha!" Emperor Qi Beichen's Imperial Heart was overjoyed.

He slowly walked down from the Dragon Throne and exclaimed:

"I never expected Chen Yuan to be an Eighth-rank Formation Master at such a young age. He truly is a prodigious talent of this era!"

"Your Majesty, a nineteen-year-old Ninth-rank Formation Master is too bizarre. Could Mr. Chen be the Reincarnation of a great power?"

"Impossible!" Just then, an aged figure slowly walked into the Main Hall. The person looked very old yet walked with vigorous strides, and there was not even a single white hair on his temples.

His Aura was completely natural, seeming to have merged with Heaven and Earth.

The person who arrived was precisely the Old Ancestor of the Qitian Dynasty—Qi Wuya.

"Father."

"Grand Emperor!"

Emperor Qi Beichen quickly rose, bowing in greeting.

Meanwhile, the Seventh-rank Formation Master knelt down and performed a great Kowtow.

"Rise!" Qi Wuya waved his hand.

"Thank you, Father."

"Thank you, Grand Emperor."

Qi Wuya walked over and sat down on the seat beside the Dragon Throne.

A Maid immediately brought tea.

The Seventh-rank Formation Master wisely withdrew.

"Father, what did you mean by what you just said?" Emperor Qi Beichen personally poured tea for his father.

Qi Wuya took the tea, took a sip, and said lightly:

"Chen Yuan is a very interesting person. You must treat him with great courtesy."

"Interesting?"

Emperor Qi Beichen was stunned, surprised that his father would say something like that so suddenly.

"I went to Tranquility Heart Garden to investigate. He is not the Reincarnation of a great power; his Soul is pure.

I performed a Divination on his Luck..."

Reaching this point, Qi Wuya paused, keeping them in suspense.

"Father, please don't tease your Son/Subject."

"Haha." Qi Wuya laughed heartily, clearly in a very good mood at the moment.

"This person's Luck surpasses the entire Qitian Dynasty. With him here, the Luck of our Qitian Dynasty is bound to rise!"

Boom!

Emperor Qi Beichen was instantly dumbfounded.

He had originally only intended to recruit Chen Yuan because of his exceptional Talent and the fact that he had unified the Eastern Wasteland.

He never expected this person's Luck to be so immense!

Naturally, he wouldn't doubt his father's words.

Qi Wuya's current Realm is the Eternal Life Realm.

This is the first Realm of Immortals, enjoying longevity equal to Heaven.

Furthermore, his father specialized in the Heavenly Mystery Dao.

He can calculate three thousand years into the past and future, and pierce through the illusions of the Mortal World!

Leaving the Fire Cloud Merchant Guild,

Chen Yuan now had a clearer outline of the Divine Province's structure and the existence of the Heavenly Palace.

However, the most urgent matter was to quickly raise his strength to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage so he could gain more influence in this Divine Province, which was full of Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers.

He strolled along the bustling streets of the Imperial City. Turning a corner, four people walked toward him—two men and two women—all richly dressed, possessing extraordinary presence, and quite conspicuous in the crowd.

One of them had fair skin and a handsome face, but his eyes always carried an Air of Arrogance.

He wore a Crimson-Gold Inlaid Hair Ornament, was dressed in brocade, and had a Coiled Dragon Jade Belt around his waist, showcasing his nobility.

In his hand, he was fiddling with an Ivory Bone Fan.

This person was precisely Qi Ming, the Legitimate Son of Prince Xiang.

The other man stood tall like a pine tree, possessing less extravagance and more composure than Qi Ming.

He had a handsome and refined face, distinct features, and a wheat-colored complexion. His steps were steady and his breath was long.

This person was Qi Hao, the younger brother of Emperor Qi, though he had not yet been Enfeoffed as a Prince.

As for the two women, one had a balanced figure, dressed in a water-blue Immortal-retaining Skirt, with hair like dark ink, an oval face, skin as white and flawless as jade, curved willow eyebrows, and a pair of apricot eyes as clear as water.

This person was Wang Zhiqing, the daughter of Prime Minister Wang Zhong.

The other woman was slightly petite and delicate. She wore a light pink Ruqun embroidered with flowering crabapple branches, and had a round face.

This person was Li Wanru, the daughter of the Vice Minister of Works.

At this moment, Wang Zhiqing's delicate brows were slightly furrowed, and her steps were a little hurried, as if she wanted to shake off the incessantly chattering Qi Ming beside her.

Li Wanru followed beside her somewhat nervously, occasionally stealing glances at Qi Ming and Qi Hao.

"Sister Zhiqing, don't walk so fast."

Qi Ming chuckled and leaned closer, "I know a newly opened Spiritual Cuisine Restaurant. The Ice Jade Nectar there is absolutely superb. Why don't we..."

"Thank you for the Young Master's kindness, but I'm tired and wish to return to my residence to rest." Wang Zhiqing's tone was cold, and she kept walking.

A flash of displeasure crossed Qi Ming's eyes, but he quickly put on a smile, lowered his voice, and spoke mysteriously:

"Sister Zhiqing, perhaps you find ordinary entertainment boring? Then let me tell you a real secret—I guarantee you'll be interested! I heard that deep within the Soul-Dropping Abyss, a thousand miles west of the city, strange phenomena have been occurring frequently, with faint streaks of Radiant Light emerging. According to reliable sources, it's highly likely that an immortal transformation grass is about to appear!"
