Supreme Lord of Towers

An hour later.

Ye Chen, Shangguan Zitong, and the others all gathered in a resplendent, glittering palace in Wind Shelter City.

After more than a year of cultivation, Shangguan Zitong's cultivation had long since reached the Peak of Profound Pill Realm.

On top of that, the concentration of the Cyan Dragon Bloodline in her body had already reached Five-Star, causing her cultivation speed in the Celestial Level Martial Arts Cyan Wood Technique to increase greatly.

So, her Martial Arts Realm had already reached the Seventh Layer of True Intent.

If not for the fact that there was still some black substance within her Profound Pill, she could attempt a breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm at any time.

However, as early as the sixth month of her seclusion, Shangguan Zitong's cultivation had already stepped into the Peak of Profound Pill Realm.

So, the black substance within her Profound Pill would completely disappear in about a month's time.

By then, she would be able to step into the Golden Core Realm.

Aside from Shangguan Zitong, Ye Xi's cultivation had also stepped into the Peak of Profound Pill Realm.

She possessed the Omen Bloodline in her body; her comprehension was Heaven-defying to the extreme.

At just fifteen years of age, her Martial Arts Realm had already reached the Seventh Layer of True Intent—this was simply too Heaven-defying.

Thus, as long as there was enough Profound Celestial True Water, her cultivation could soar all the way up, without encountering any bottlenecks at all.

Unlike Zhu'er and Hei Bo, although they had also obtained Profound Celestial True Water, their Martial Arts Realm could not keep up, so they had never been able to break through to the late Profound Pill Realm.

"Once my World Divine Tree has completely grown, I'll have an inexhaustible supply of Wood Spirit Qi. At that time, I can use the Power of Enlightenment to help Zhu'er and the others raise their Martial Arts Realm." Ye Chen said to himself in his heart.

If one's Martial Arts Realm could not be raised, then no matter how good the Cultivation Resources were, one's cultivation would stagnate.

Therefore, if Ye Chen wanted to help the people around him grow stronger, it was very necessary to raise their Martial Arts Realm.

However, this could only be realized after Ye Chen possessed enough Power of Enlightenment.

After all, at the moment, even he himself did not have enough Power of Enlightenment.

"Ye Chen's younger sister's cultivation has actually also stepped into the Peak of Profound Pill Realm—she truly is a peerless monster." In the great hall, Dongfang Lin could not help but sigh.

"But of course. The Omen Bloodline in her body is not just for show. Back then, her mother relied on this bloodline to overshadow all heroes." Wang Gong said.

"It's a pity. 'The innocent man bears the guilt of possessing a treasure.' Possessing such a bloodline, she is destined to have no good end.

However, since our Human King Hall has already recruited Ye Chen, we must also protect his sister well, and not let some schemers seize the bloodline in her body." Dongfang Lin said solemnly.

"Naturally." Wang Gong nodded.

"You two Stewards, since the exit of this Ancient Ruins will open today, let's set out now!" At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly spoke.

He had already learned from Dongfang Lin that the exit of this Ancient Ruins would open in three hours.

Moreover, it would open permanently.

At that time, no matter who it was, they would be able to freely enter and exit this Ancient Ruins.

However, the vast majority of treasures in this Ancient Ruins had basically already been collected by Ye Chen.

If the cultivators outside came in to explore again, it would no longer hold much meaning.

"Little friend Ye Chen, the headquarters still doesn't know that you've joined our Human King Hall, so they probably won't specially send a powerhouse to protect you.

So, after you leave this Ancient Ruins, you must be careful of your enemies.

However, you also don't need to worry too much. Elder Bai Yuan has been maintaining order outside the Ancient Ruins all this time. When the time comes, he will definitely protect you." Dongfang Lin couldn't help but urge Ye Chen.

One had to know, Ye Chen had many enemies.

Aside from the Divine Spirit Family Ye Clan and the Ji Race, there was also the Grand Elder of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Sect.

If they learned that Ye Chen's strength had risen to such a level, they would likely stop at nothing to strangle Ye Chen in the cradle.

Even if Dongfang Lin and Wang Gong stepped forward, it would probably be useless.

After all, they were only Stewards of the Human King Hall, with cultivation only at the Peak of Profound Pill Realm, fundamentally no match for a Venerable Golden Core.

Fortunately, this time the Human King Hall had dispatched an Elder here to maintain order.

This Elder was precisely that white-robed middle-aged man who had previously stopped the Grand Elder of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Sect outside the Ancient Ruins.

His name was Bai Yuan, and his cultivation had already stepped into the late Golden Core Realm.

With him here, even the Grand Elder of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Sect should find it very difficult to harm Ye Chen.

"The Ye Clan and Ji Race don't know that I entered this Ancient Ruins, so they probably won't dispatch clansmen who are too powerful.

As for the Grand Elder of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Sect, she's nothing to fear. My people alone are enough to block that old witch." Ye Chen said with a cold smile.

Although the Grand Elder of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Sect had already half-stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm.

But the Venerable Profound Spirit, the servant of that hunched old man, was no easy character either.

With him around, Ye Chen could naturally rest easy.

"Mm! As long as you can endure this trial and enter our Human King Hall headquarters, no one will be able to threaten you anymore." Dongfang Lin said.

The Human King Hall headquarters was incomparably well-guarded; let alone a Venerable Golden Core, even a Quasi-God powerhouse would simply be unable to break in.

So, as long as Ye Chen could keep hiding in the Human King Hall headquarters, no one would be able to do anything to him.

"Brother, I'm worried the Ye Clan and Ji Race will send a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse over. After all, they already know that I'm hiding in this Ancient Ruins." At this moment, Ye Xi's expression became extremely unsightly, her eyes filled with thick worry.

One had to know, the bloodline of her mother was flowing within her body.

The powerhouses of the Ye Clan and Ji Race would definitely attach immense importance to this.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent Ye Fei and Ji Mengxuan in here to hunt her down.

So, it was perfectly normal for them to send a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse this time to personally confirm whether Ye Xi was alive or dead.

By then, the consequences would be unimaginable.

With Ye Chen's current strength, in front of a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse, he was no different from an ant.

Even the Elders of the Human King Hall would find it very difficult to protect Ye Chen.

"Xiao Xi, don't worry. As long as your brother is here, no one can hurt you." Ye Chen couldn't help but console Ye Xi.

If the situation really developed to the point Ye Xi described.

Then even if it cost him his life, Ye Chen would do everything in his power to ensure his sister's safety.

As long as he still had one breath left, he would not stand by and watch his sister be harmed.

"Brother! As long as I can be with you, even death is nothing to be afraid of." Ye Xi nodded, her gaze incomparably resolute.
