125: Yan Shang returns, and the Chen family undergoes a major transformation

After the great battle concluded, the Northern Desolate Cultivation world, after a brief period of excitement, once again fell into tranquility.

After inviting all the Cultivators of the Nether Spring Sect into the Nine-Layered Prison Suppression Pagoda to aid his cultivation, Yan Shang immediately rushed back to the Chen Family.

However, to his surprise, he encountered a secret place on the way and was delayed for some time by entering it to search for resources.

This also caused him to miss the exciting battle between the Chen Family and the Anti-Demon Alliance.

When he returned to the Chen Family's originalstation.

He found that it had transformed into a large-scale Cultivation Bazaar.

In mid-air, an extremely magnificent palace hung suspended, with the plaque 'Void Heaven Palace' hanging above its entrance.

This made Yan Shang dumbfounded.

“Where did my big Chen Family go?”

He knew about the Void Heaven Palace, and because of this, he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart while traveling.

How could the road guide point in the same direction as Mangdang Mountain, where the Chen Family'sstation was located?

It wasn't until he reached his destination that he understood.

The locations of the Void Heaven Palace and the Chen Family'sstation were basically on the exact same horizontal plane, with almost no deviation at all.

“What exactly happened during my absence?”

Yan Shang had left the Chen Family more than a year after Jiang Mingyue's departure. During this period, he had gone to the extreme east of the Northern Desolate to explore on his own and had not returned, so he naturally didn't know about the drastic changes that had occurred in the Family during this time.

Fortunately, he and his Revered Master Chen Xuan, Jiang Mingyue, and others had all left Qi imprints for each other.

Through sensing, he also knew that his Revered Master and Junior Sister were now in the massive Cultivation Bazaar below.

They were in good condition.

There was nothing serious.

He immediately flew down and, following the sensed location, first found his Junior Sister Jiang Mingyue, who was currently experiencing what it was like to be a shopkeeper in the Chen Family's Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

“Senior Brother, you’re back!”

Jiang Mingyue looked at Yan Shang approaching her.

A surprised smile appeared on her face.

Yan Shang smiled and nodded at her, then asked about his Revered Master Chen Xuan.

Upon learning that he was in seclusion for cultivation, he immediately dismissed the idea of disturbing him.

He then asked about the Chen Family, and what was going on with the Void Heaven Palace and this Cultivation Bazaar they were currently in.

Jiang Mingyue immediately vividly described everything that had happened since he left the Chen Family.

After listening.

Yan Shang was even more bewildered.

No, he had only been away from the Chen Family for about a year and a half, right?

How could the massive changes that had occurred in the Chen Family in such a short time feel like thousands of years had passed?

They had successively annexed the Golden Sun Sect, the Yunxi Sect, and the Yang Family, and now they even had people launching offensives against the other three factions in the entire Qilian Mountains. It was estimated that the Chen Family would soon become the overlord of the Qilian Mountains Cultivation world.

Jiang Mingyue's words had already shocked Yan Shang enough.

But it wasn't over yet.

The five major Returning Void Realm forces of the Northern Desolate had jointly formed the Anti-Demon Alliance.

They wanted to annihilate the Chen Family.

But they were ultimately counter-killed.

Could his Junior Sister Mingyue really be telling him a story with such a fantastical plot?

Yan Shang initially had doubts, but after a moment's thought, he found it reasonable.

Otherwise.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Building founded by the Chen Family would not occupy the most central area of the Void Sky Bazaar, and the Chen Family would not even be able to gain a foothold in this large-scale Cultivation Bazaar at all.

Yan Shang wasn't just anything.

Such a massive Cultivation Bazaar.

Without powerful strength to suppress it, it simply wouldn't work.

The current Chen Family was probably really as Jiang Mingyue described.

Soul Transformation Realm Cultivators were everywhere.

Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators were inferior to dogs.

Yan Shang was originally complacent about his cultivation breaking through to the Soul Transformation Realm, thinking that returning to the Family with the might of a Soul Transformation Realm Cultivator would make him the second 'Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle' level existence in the Chen Family, besides his Revered Master.

But what he didn't expect was.

The Chen Family's power had actually expanded to such an extent.

And he thought he was a 'Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle'.

Fortunately, he had already broken through to the Soul Transformation Realm at this moment.

Otherwise, in the current Chen Family, he would be reduced to a level inferior to even a dog.

After Yan Shang went to that secret place on the way, he also used the Nine-Layered Prison Suppression Pagoda to capture many Cultivators who were competing with him for Opportunity.

Now, his cultivation, under the continuous cultivation and nourishment of the numerous beings within the tower, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Will soon break through to the Middle Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm.

At his current cultivation speed, the Returning Void Realm and Body Integration Realm would not be far away.

Not only that, two-thirds of the first five levels of his Nine-Layered Prison Suppression Pagoda are now empty.

There is still a lot of room for improvement.

“Senior Brother, I didn’t expect you to have already cultivated to the Soul Transformation Realm so quietly.”

“It’s a pity, I can’t accompany me and Junior Brother into the Void Heaven Palace in two years.”

“The Void Heaven Palace looks so intimidating, there must be a lot of fun things inside.”

Hearing this, Yan Shang couldn't help but smile at Jiang Mingyue.

He naturally had a deep understanding of his Junior Sister's personality after spending a long time with her.

Making her meditate and cultivate.

It was no different from holding a knife to her neck.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Xuan finished handling the varioustrivia of the Chen Family, he immediately entered a state of cultivation.

In contrast, Jiang Mingyue was bored enough to guest star as the shopkeeper of the Ten Thousand Treasures Building.

Fortunately, at Jiang Mingyue's current cultivation speed.

She would definitely be able to break through to the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm within two years, and Chen Xuan did not restrict her.

She had the Ten Thousand Demon Illustrated Book in hand.

She could control ten thousand demons to assist her.

In fact, for Jiang Mingyue's own cultivation, it wasn't particularly important.

It's just that the ten thousand demons on the Ten Thousand Demon Illustrated Book all have famous names, often being Divine Beast Bloodlines or Yao Beasts with special characteristics.

Jiang Mingyue also asked Teng Ge, who went to the North Sea, to keep an eye out.

See if he could find a companion for himself in the Ten Thousand Demon Illustrated Book.

Unfortunately.

He didn't find a single one.

“It’s truly a pity. I can only say that I have a connection with the Void Heaven Palace, but no destiny.”

Yan Shang was naturally very curious about the mysterious Void Heaven Palace.

However, his cultivation had already surpassed the Soul Transformation Realm, so he couldn't enter it anymore.

He did not deliberately suppress his cultivation.

Because Yan Shang had a faint feeling in his heart.

That is, no matter how great the Opportunity and good fortune obtained in the Void Heaven Palace were.

It couldn't be greater than the Nine-Layered Prison Suppression Pagoda within his own body.

Since that was the case, why bother wasting the effort?

After all, at his current speed, by the time the Void Heaven Palace opened in two years, he would probably have already successfully broken through to the Returning Void Realm.

The cultivation held in hand is the true cultivation.

“We still have to wait two years!”

Jiang Mingyue pouted, as if she suddenly thought of something, and a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes as she looked at Yan Shang.

“Senior Brother, why don’t we go out and explore the Cultivation world together?”

“Let’s go south. I heard that the Central Divine Continent of the Tianxuan Continent is vast, rich in resources, and extremely prosperous. There are countless Opportunities and good fortunes, various Dao lineages, and an endless stream of Prodigies and Prodigies.”

“The four most powerful Dao Sects guard the four directions. I also heard that there is a large force called the Fengyun Pavilion there. They created a cultivation combat power ranking with nine lists in total. The first Realm is the Yellow Ranking, the second Realm is the Mysterious Ranking, the third Realm is the Earth Ranking, the fourth Realm is the Heaven Ranking, the fifth Realm is the Hidden Dragon Ranking, the sixth Realm is the earth dragon ranking, the seventh Realm is the Heavenly Dragon Ranking, the eighth Realm is the True Dragon Ranking, and the ninth Realm is the Flying Immortal Ranking, collecting powerful Cultivators from various Realms in the four directions of the Central Divine Continent to be on the list.”

“It sounds incredibly interesting.”

“To create a ranking for each Realm, and each ranking lists the top one hundred strongest in that Realm, this grand gesture is truly immense.”

“I’ll compete for the Heaven Ranking, and Senior Brother, you can compete for the Hidden Dragon Ranking.”

“Our Senior Brother and Junior Sister will become famous throughout the Central Divine Continent. What do you think, Senior Brother?”
