88: Wendao Palace ascended so quickly?

Who are these people?

And why are they here?

Moreover, their Qi, each one is extremely terrifying.

Although far from the people around Young Master, they are also far beyond the strongest in this realm. Even Li Wuya, who was extremely terrifying just now, is just a chick in front of these people.

How did these powerful beings, rarely seen on normal days, suddenly all appear?

And even fighting to kill Li Wuya's companions?

"Cough cough!" Chen Yan coughed lightly, walked forward elegantly, and smiled: "Everyone, although this person is dead, the credit... naturally belongs to my Chen Family."

"On what basis?!" Everyone glared angrily.

Chen Yan smiled without speaking, just gently raised his hand—

"Boom—!"

A majestic phantom of the Profound Heaven Pagoda appeared, and a terrifying pressure instantly suppressed the entire scene!

"Now, does anyone still object?" He asked with a smile.

The Heaven-Reaching Realm is a special realm connected to the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, with the Lower Heaven-Reaching, Middle Heaven-Reaching, and Upper Heaven-Reaching.

The Chen Family's ability to establish itself in the Upper Heaven-Reaching naturally did not rely on trade.

But on strength!

Everyone: "......"

Damn it, the Chen Family doesn't play fair!

Finally, under the Chen Family's strong suppression, everyone could only retreat resentfully, not forgetting to glare at Yin Qiyue before leaving, as if saying—"Next time there's such a good thing, remember to notify us first!"

Even Yin Qiyue, who had seen much of the world, was at a loss for a moment when faced with this situation.

But it was already too late.

She had wanted to go forward and ask this Senior from the Chen Family, but she didn't expect the other party to come over with an even lower posture than hers.

Chen Yan straightened his clothes, a nearly fawning smile plastered on his face, and walked to Yin Qiyue in quick steps, actually bowing first:

"Palace Master Yin, you've been startled! I am Chen Yan, the Family Head of the Chen Family from the Upper Thousand Provinces' Heaven-Reaching Realm. Today, I happened to pass by your esteemed place..."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Yin Qiyue's expression. Seeing her look bewildered, he quickly added: "It's shameful to say, but my little daughter, Chen Wan, has been cultivating in your palace for a long time, and has always received care from the Palace Master..."

Saying that, he took out a shimmering jade box from his sleeve: "This is a Seven-Turn Spirit Condensing Divine Pill, a special product of the Heaven-Reaching Realm. It's just a small token of my respect..."

Yin Qiyue subconsciously took half a step back. The attitude of this dignified Upper Realm Family Head was a bit too solicitous.

Although her Dao Seeking Palace was famous in the Lower Realm, how could it catch the eye of these Upper Realm people?

Not to mention, it was the Upper Realm of the Upper Realm, the Upper Thousand Provinces.

A moment's thought made her understand the intention of the person in front of her.

Yin Qiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and cautiously said: "Are you here for Young Master?"

Young Master!

Chen Yan didn't hide it, and said directly: "I am indeed here for Gongzi Qin..."

This was a test.

After speaking, he carefully looked at Yin Qiyue's expression, and seeing that she didn't refute, he secretly rejoiced in his heart.

'It's indeed the Qin Family, I gambled correctly!'

Thinking of this, the smile on Chen Yan's face became even brighter: "What Senior? Just call me Old Chen!"

Yin Qiyue's eyes grew cold, her voice carrying a hint of aloofness: "Family Head Chen, if you want to use me to curry favor with Young Master and achieve certain goals, I advise you to dismiss that idea as soon as possible."

"No, no, no!" Chen Yan quickly waved his hands, fine sweat seeping from his forehead, "Palace Master Yin, you've misunderstood! I absolutely have no such intention!"

He rubbed his hands, his face full of sincerity: "You absolutely don't need to mention my name in front of Young Master, nor do you need to say a good word for us."

"It's just... this Dao Seeking Palace is located in the Lower Realm, which is extremely dangerous. If Palace Master Yin doesn't mind, why not let my Chen Family send people to guard it? Or..." Chen Yan cautiously suggested, "Move directly to the Middle Thousand Province? When the time is right, my Chen Family also has a few good blessed lands in the Upper Thousand Provinces..."

If it weren't for the fact that people from the Lower Thousand Provinces would be repelled by the Law if they went directly to the Upper Thousand Provinces, he would have directly wanted to take the entire Dao Seeking Palace up.

Yin Qiyue frowned slightly, about to refuse, but saw Chen Yan hastily add: "Of course! All of this is my Chen Family's voluntary action, absolutely without any hint of coercion!"

"And there's no need to speak well of me in front of that Young Master."

He lowered his voice, almost pleading: "Just... just give my Chen Family a chance to serve?"

"......"

Yin Qiyue was silent once again.

What exactly was Young Master's identity, to make a dignified Upper Realm Family Head so uneasy, like a Utility Disciple seeking a reward?

'However...' Yin Qiyue's fingertips gently rubbed her sleeve, a flicker of an unclear light in her eyes.

'Middle Thousand Province...'

This thought exploded in her heart, like a stone thrown into a still pond, stirring up ripples that were difficult to calm.

She knew better than anyone that her current self was just an insignificant speck of dust in Young Master's eyes.

Even if she was fortunate enough to receive his favor and be bestowed with a treasure, she was ultimately just an ant in the Lower Realm.

'I need to become stronger...'

This obsession burned deep in her bones.

Not like now, barely surviving on Opportunities bestowed by others; but truly, step by step, climbing upwards.

Starting from the Lower Thousand Provinces, to the Middle Thousand Province, and then to the Upper Thousand Provinces, until...

The mountain breeze brushed her hair, and Yin Qiyue raised her head, her eyes burning with an almost fanatical ambition.

She wanted to use this mortal body, treading on countless corpses, to ascend to that unreachable height.

Not out of gratitude, but simply to...

'Become Young Master's strength.'

'To be worthy of him looking at me directly.'

"Good." Yin Qiyue nodded and agreed to the request to move to the Middle Thousand Province, but made a demand: "You must tell me about the Qin Family."

"You don't know?" A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Yan's eyes.

But then he thought about it and found it normal.

If she really knew what kind of existence the Qin Family was, how could she treat two Loose Cultivators from the Middle Thousand Province as formidable enemies?

"The Qin Family is a very special Family. Its immense strength is known as an Imperial Family."

"And the Qin Family's main residence is located in the legendary □..." Chen Yan said up to this point, then suddenly fell silent as if his throat was choked, his face instantly turning pale.

He subconsciously looked up at the sky, as if fearing some invisible gaze.

That was close, he almost blurted out the name of the Ten Directions Immortal Court.

After a pause, he continued:

"Anyway, that is the true Heaven of Heavens, a place we all dream of going."

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized something and quickly waved his hand: "Of course, we can't reach the Heaven of Heavens. The Young Master you met is probably just a Young Lord of a collateral branch of the Qin Family. But even so..."

Chen Yan rubbed his hands, his eyes gleaming with envy, "To be favored by such a person is already a blessing cultivated over ten lifetimes."

"So, Young Master is actually the Young Lord of a collateral branch of the Qin Family..."

This title rolled on her lips, even more astonishing than Yin Qiyue had imagined.

She had thought Young Master was just the successor of some major power in the Upper Realm, but she never expected him to be of the supreme Imperial Family Bloodline.

But what concerned her more was that name that was deliberately hidden.

"Heaven of Heavens..."

Yin Qiyue subconsciously muttered these three words. This was the second time she had heard them.

Is it a coincidence?

Qin Xuanji leaned against an ancient pine tree on a distant mountain, playing with a wooden carved chess piece between his fingers, watching with interest the figures of Yin Qiyue and Chen Yan talking in the distance.

"It's burning, it's burning..." He murmured softly, a playful glint in his eyes, "This prairie fire is already burning upwards."

The chess piece spun in a beautiful arc between his fingers and landed with a 'clack' on the stone table beside him.

"No wonder, no wonder Ninth Brother didn't use the existing forces. So..." Qin Xuanji's lips curved into a meaningful smile, "He wants to cultivate them from scratch."

He narrowed his eyes, looking at the almost fanatical ambition in Yin Qiyue's eyes.

"From a Lower Realm ant, climbing up step by step..." Qin Xuanji chuckled and shook his head, "This is much more interesting than directly bestowing power."

"By the time she enters the Imperial Family's eyes, she will probably have grown to an unimaginable height."

Tapping the table lightly with his fingertips, he pondered: "Perhaps... I should also find such a seedling to play with?"

The pine breeze blew, dispersing his whispers.

Qin Xuanji took a final look at Yin Qiyue, who was asking Chen Yan for details about the Qin Family, then turned and disappeared into the pine shadows, leaving only a wooden chess piece subtly trembling on the stone table.

— — — — — — — — — — — —

Soon after.

Qin Wangchuan sent a message, hoping to earn some simulation opportunities.

However, he received an unexpected piece of news from Yin Qiyue.

"The Dao Seeking Palace... has Ascended?"

He raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
