I'm not late, am I?

"Stop, you, come out!"

Ye Tianwei shouted at Ye Chen and pulled him out.

Ye Chen couldn't help but put on a stern Face. He knew this was the Yaoguang Holy Son, but with no past grievances or recent animosity, why was he angry with Ye Chen?

"What do you mean?" Ye Chen said coldly.

"What do I mean? Hmph!"

Ye Tianwei sneered, "I should be asking you what you mean. Last time, why did you come looking for Qingxue?"

"Qingxue and I are old acquaintances, is there a problem?" Ye Chen said indifferently.

"You? Just a bumpkin, you don't even have the chance to be a gatekeeper for the Ji family. I don't know how many Foundation Establishment cultivators like you I've brushed aside."

Ye Tianwei said coldly, "Also, is Qingxue someone you can call?"

Ye Chen's heart turned cold. He actually called him a dog?

What kind of Immortal Ascension joke is this? Even if I'm a dog, I'm an immortal dog. How dare a mere Nascent Soul bark wildly!

Ye Chen: "You're courting death!"

Ye Tianwei said disdainfully, "Little cultivation, big temper; a mere Foundation Establishment, how laughable, how laughable."

The Dao Discussion Conference hadn't even begun, and Ye Chen and Ye Tianwei were already clashing.

The Yaoguang Holy Son actually got into a conflict with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, which immediately attracted the attention of many Cultivators.

"The Yaoguang Holy Son and that person are arguing."

"If there's a conflict, why argue? Isn't it better to just fight?"

"Exactly, exactly! A gentleman fights, he doesn't talk! A true man should solve things with his hands."

"Fight, fight!"

The Cultivators who loved to watch the drama, not caring about the consequences, all started to egg them on. Why not applaud when there's entertainment?

The Yaoguang Holy Son also had murderous intent. This Ye Chen looked very annoying; he might as well die.

This is the Child of Destiny.

Intelligence-reducing aura, activate!

Even if he stood there motionlessly, cannon fodder supporting characters would actively approach to deliver their heads.

Feeling the killing intent, Ye Chen's heart also tensed. Dare to harbor murderous intent towards me?

You have already found your path to death!!

A great battle was on the verge of breaking out, and the surrounding Cultivators, being quite sensible, cleared an open space for the two to display their abilities.

"Nascent Soul fighting Foundation Establishment? Am I seeing this correctly?"

"Isn't this just bullying the weak?"

"The Yaoguang Holy Son was just defeated by the Taixuan Holy Son a few months ago. He's probably feeling unbalanced and wants to bully some weaklings to feel better."

"Makes sense."

No matter how one looked at it, this was an unequal battle.

Ye Tianwei actually felt cheap inside, but for some unknown reason, by some strange twist of fate, he had to make a move. He could clearly have ordered his subordinates to handle it, but he just didn't.

The power of the Child of Destiny is terrifying!

Ye Tianwei casually struck. A Nascent Soul Cultivator fighting a Foundation Establishment cultivator could blow him to death with a single breath.

A casual slap was already giving Ye Chen a lot of Face.

However, Ye Chen's strength was not as weak as his apparent Foundation Establishment Stage.

He stood as steady as a mountain, hands behind his back. Facing the Nascent Soul Cultivator's attack, his expression remained unchanged, and he said indifferently, "With just this much strength, you dare to be a Saint?"

"Go home and drink your milk!"

He had the Nine Luminaries Heavenly Emperor Cauldron's blessing. Although he couldn't unleash offensive techniques, the defensive power of the Nine Luminaries Heavenly Emperor Cauldron was beyond doubt.

He merely gently activated it, and the ancient bronze small cauldron in his Sea of Consciousness hummed, an invisible shield wall majestically stood, indestructible.

Ye Tianwei's attack couldn't even touch his body.

Silence. The entire hall was silent.

The fight, which was originally without suspense, exceeded everyone's expectations.

"What's going on?"

"I must have cultivated too much yesterday; I'm seeing illusions."

"Nascent Soul fighting Foundation Establishment, completely unharmed?"

"Can't even break through his defense. I feel like I could be a Saint too!"

Ye Tianwei's eyes were filled with confusion.

Ye Chen was smug.

I am the Rebirth of an Immortal Emperor, and I have many tricks up my sleeve. If I weren't afraid of killing you and inviting retaliation from the Yaoguang Holy Land, which would prevent me from befriending the Yaoguang Saintess Ji Qingxue, I would have torn you to shreds.

After his dazed state, Ye Tianwei became enraged out of shame.

A dignified Nascent Soul Cultivator, unable to even kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator? If this got out, wouldn't it become a joke?

No matter what, Ye Chen had to be killed today!

He pulled out a slender sword, soft as a silver snake. The sword light twisted, flying in all directions, and finally pointed at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen remained as unmoving as a mountain.

All the sword lights, upon approaching within ten zhang of him, all dissipated into nothingness.

Hiss!

The onlookers gasped, causing the nearby temperature to rise.

"This person is strange again."

"He must have a rare treasure on him. It seems his background is not small."

Ye Tianwei's eyes were bloodshot. He called for his Void Refinement Cultivator. It's not shameful to call for help if you can't win!

At this moment, a beautiful woman appeared, throwing a red ribbon from her jade hand, restraining Ye Tianwei's subordinate.

"What do you mean, dare to stop this Saint from doing his business?" Ye Tianwei shouted, having already lost his sanity.

Ye Chen saw that the person who came was a beautiful woman, and his heart warmed. Qingxue, you are indeed secretly paying attention to me. You are worried about my safety, aren't you?

The beautiful woman smiled, "Saint, my Young Miss has given an order not to cause any further trouble. My Young Miss wants me to tell the Saint not to forget the purpose of this trip."

"Look at this person's Daoist robe, he's clearly a Disciple of the Tai Xuan Holy Land. Is it appropriate for you to fight a Disciple of the Tai Xuan Holy Land on their territory?"

After the beautiful woman finished speaking, she was about to leave.

Ye Chen quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, where is Qingxue?"

The beautiful woman's expression turned cold, and she looked at Ye Chen with indifference in her eyes: "What is your cultivation, calling me Fellow Daoist? You scoundrel, don't be ungrateful. In the past, my Young Miss was kind and saved your life, but you, scoundrel, have been pestering her, wanting to follow my Young Miss."

"Get lost."

She shouted sternly, and the might of a Void Refinement Cultivator pressed down on Ye Chen, making him retreat several steps.

Then she left without looking back.

Ye Tianwei also calmed down and was no longer foolish. He just said fiercely, "You brat, just you wait for me. If you have the guts, don't leave the Tai Xuan Holy Land's gate in the future, hmph!"

Ye Chen was not angry.

Qingxue, are you worried about me?

Yes, it must be. Our factions are different, and I can understand your coldness. I will protect you for a lifetime.

Yes, the Saintess's personal lick-dog.

...

Inside the grand palace, the Yaoguang Saintess sat quietly on a high platform.

Below the palace, many people sat on both sides, quietly waiting for the Yaoguang Saintess to pose a question.

The Yaoguang Saintess's purpose in this Dao Discussion was actually to seek an Opportunity that could save the Old Ancestor of her clan.

However, she could not say it openly, otherwise, if her enemies found out, they would continue to target the Ji family.

Someone below immediately said, "May I ask the Saintess, what kind of Daoist Magic or Immortal Art do you wish to discuss?"

Ji Qingxue did not show her Face; a jade curtain hung down, and the people below the hall could only see a beautiful figure behind the curtain, serene and elegant.

Ji Qingxue chuckled, "The Dao has no end. I recently read in a Daoist scripture that if a person does not achieve Immortal Ascension, their lifespan will eventually run out."

"Even powerful Great Ascension cultivators, if they cannot achieve Ascension, can only turn into a handful of yellow earth."

"Therefore, I would like to discuss with all of you whether there is any Spirit Pill or miraculous medicine, divine art or immortal method, that can allow a person to live another life, or even achieve Ascension and become an Immortal."

"Of course, this is just a question of mine that I wish to discuss," she added.

The people below whispered among themselves.

"Alchemy?"

"Saintess, is this about learning Alchemy? Is there anyone skilled in Alchemy? Please come forward quickly."

"Teacher Ma, you're an Old Cultivator who's been doing Alchemy for 69 years, do you have any insights or experiences?"

"No, I advise all you young people to be careful."

Outside the hall, Ye Chen shouted, "Qingxue, I have a Pill Formula that can solve your urgent problem."

This sudden sound attracted everyone's attention.

Ji Qingxue frowned. This fellow is so rude. Am I very familiar with you?

The beautiful woman's eyes also turned cold. This scoundrel is truly despicable.

"Young Miss, I'll go take care of it."

"Mm, just teach him a lesson, don't kill him."

"Understood."

Ye Chen saw the beautiful woman come out and thought she was there to welcome him, so he directly went to meet her.

Unexpectedly, the woman slapped him, a loud smack across his Face, leaving a handprint from her jade hand, completely unexpected.

Ye Chen flew back a hundred zhang. The woman was a bit impatient and used a little too much force. Ye Chen slid a hundred zhang long mark on the ground, and his back was scraped raw and bleeding.

He was utterly bewildered, and after he came to his senses, he was furious. How unreasonable!

He shouted at the beautiful woman, "I can solve your Ji family's difficulties, why do you abuse me like this?"

The beautiful woman sneered without speaking. What kind of foundation could a Foundation Establishment cultivator have?

Ye Chen didn't explain either. He directly crumpled the Pill Formula into a ball and threw it into the rolled curtain, directly at Ji Qingxue.

The beautiful woman blocked it with one hand, but then heard Ji Qingxue say, "Never mind, let me see it."

Ji Qingxue took the Pill Formula, and with just one glance, she was astonished by its content. It was actually the Pill Formula and refining method for a precious pill.

"Please come in quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile.

All the grievances he had just suffered were worth it. As long as he could stay by Qingxue's side, even not being an Immortal Emperor was fine!

He would thoroughly embody the title of the Saintess's personal lick-dog.

He stood up, straightened his chest, and strode into the palace, as if in the next moment, he would meet the dream lover he had yearned for day and night.

Even though the other party only regarded him as a stranger.

One hundred thousand years, do you know how I spent these one hundred thousand years?!

At this moment, Uncle Jiang drove his carriage down from the sky.

Xin Xi came out first, gently pulling open the rolled curtain, and Xiao Fan slowly walked out.

Looking at the hall full of guests, he clicked his tongue in wonder and said, "Oh, why is it so lively? I'm not late, am I?"
