Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

At this moment, Ye Chen possessed the Spiritual Cultivation of the First Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm, had mastered his Sword Intent, and had even cultivated high-grade azure dragon scales...

With all these elements complementing each other, he now possessed the foundation and strength to be considered nearly invincible below the Divine Might Realm!!!

Kunlun Shangxian was endlessly amazed by this.

Clearly, Ye Chen's strength had grown significantly once again.

Only twenty days had passed, and Ye Chen had actually gotten stronger again!

Such a prodigy was truly rare in this world, difficult to find in any age, past or present!

"Alright, it's time for me to leave now."

Ye Chen slowly rose to his feet, his body seemingly enveloped in a brilliant radiance.

His every move was in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, naturally forming its own Dao rhythm, an astonishing sight to behold.

Kunlun Shangxian watched Ye Chen with a complex expression. Suddenly, as if he'd thought of something, he asked, "Oh, right. That Primordial Grandmist Divination Grass... I actually have one last leaf of it on me right now."

"This Soul Body of mine won't last much longer and could dissipate at any moment. Why don't I give this last remaining leaf to you?"

"Give it to me?" Ye Chen's expression showed a hint of surprise.

After all, according to Kunlun Shangxian, the Primordial Grandmist Divination Grass was an incredibly rare treasure.

It was through the Primordial Grandmist Divination Grass that Kunlun Shangxian's true self had been able to predict Ye Chen's arrival, leading him to set up this secret realm and place the Chaos Prison-Suppressing Cauldron inside it.

While Ye Chen was lost in thought, Kunlun Shangxian had already taken out a leaf and held it out to him.

The leaf looked no different from an ordinary one, yet it was wreathed in a terrifying, heart-pounding fluctuation. All sorts of Dao rhythms seemed to envelop it, and one could faintly see rainbow-colored light pulsing from it, making it seem incomparably profound.

"How do I use this Primordial Grandmist Divination Grass?"

Ye Chen asked as he took the leaf.

"You can use your divine sense to envision the matter you wish to know about."

"Then, place the leaf of the Primordial Grandmist Divination Grass into its companion, the Divination Spring. The answer you seek will naturally appear within the spring's waters."

Kunlun Shangxian said with a faint smile.

He was quite satisfied with this young man before him.

Therefore, he was more than happy to help him along.

He led Ye Chen through the grand hall, all the way to its deepest part.

Sure enough, at the end of the hall, there was a clear spring!

The spring also looked unremarkable, but upon approaching it, one could feel the vast rhythm of the Great Dao.

The Dao rhythm spread out like clouds and mist. If one could cultivate here, their comprehension would be greatly enhanced, and they would likely face no obstacles when breaking through to a new realm.

"This is the Divination Spring," Kunlun Shangxian said, stopping before the water.

Ye Chen took out the leaf of the Primordial Grandmist Divination Grass.

Following Kunlun Shangxian's instructions, he began to envision the matter he wanted to foresee.

'Speaking of which, what is it that I'm most desperate to know right now?'

Ye Chen's eyes flickered as an answer quickly formed in his mind.

'I just want to know... what is the truth behind the Qin family's destruction?!'

With that, Ye Chen closed his eyes, letting this thought consume his mind.

At the same time, the Primordial Grandmist Divination Grass in his hand seemed to sense his divine sense. A strange light suddenly flashed across the leaf, as if all sorts of illusions were materializing upon it.

"Now! Quickly, put it in the Divination Spring!"

"Whatever you want to know, the Divination Spring will give you the answer!"

Kunlun Shangxian urged him at the perfect moment.

Hearing this, Ye Chen didn't dare to delay and immediately placed the leaf into the Divination Spring before him.

He waited, nervous and expectant.

Soon, ripples spread across the clear surface of the Divination Spring, and an image seemed to materialize.

But in the next instant...

The image on the Divination Spring suddenly filled with countless cracks, like shattering glass, before it violently broke apart!

It was like a drop of ink falling into a pool of clear water, dyeing it black.

The entire Divination Spring turned pitch-black, as if saturated with ink, no longer crystal clear as it had been before!

"This..."

"What's happening?!"

Ye Chen's expression changed. It was the first time he had ever seen such a strange phenomenon, and he couldn't help but blurt out the question.

"What?"

Kunlun Shangxian, who stood to the side, had a look of shock on his face. "The divination... it actually triggered a backlash?!"

"A divination backlash?" Ye Chen was stunned.

"That's right!" Kunlun Shangxian said with a grave expression. "Divining heavenly secrets isn't always successful."

"According to legend, there are beings whose power reaches an unknowable realm, strong enough to twist the very rules of time and space, rendering the power of divination completely ineffective!"

"And if someone tries to forcibly predict the path of their destiny, they will suffer a backlash from the heavens and ultimately perish in a calamity!"

Kunlun Shangxian's words sent massive waves crashing through Ye Chen's heart.

"Are you saying... that the matter I tried to foresee with the Primordial Grandmist Divination Grass involves a Great Power from an unknowable realm?!"

This information was so shocking that for a moment, Ye Chen could hardly accept it!

The Qin family had just been an ordinary family that had inexplicably suffered a sudden disaster, leading to their demise.

However, Luoxia had told him that none of it was a coincidence.

And now, when Ye Chen tried to learn the truth using the Primordial Grandmist Divination Grass, it had resulted in a divination backlash!

'If this matter truly involves a being from an unknowable realm, then why would such a terrifying existence target the Qin family?'

'Was there anything about the ordinary people of the Qin family that was worthy of the attention of a supreme Great Power?'

Seeing the shifting expressions on Ye Chen's face, Kunlun Shangxian spoke in a complex tone, "It seems I can't help you with this matter either."

"The Primordial Grandmist Divination Grass was already down to its last leaf. Especially after the passage of so many long years, the divination power it has left isn't even one-ten-thousandth of what it used to be."

"If you want to know about matters involving powerful beings, this paltry amount of divination power is clearly not enough to help you."

"I understand," Ye Chen said, nodding solemnly.

From Kunlun Shangxian's words, it wasn't hard to understand that perhaps the true culprit behind the Qin family's destruction wasn't necessarily too powerful.

Perhaps it was just that this final leaf of the Primordial Grandmist Divination Grass no longer had much divination power left.

That could be why the divination backlash occurred.

But regardless, Ye Chen was certain that the truth behind the Qin family's destruction was likely not so simple.

The being involved had to be, at the very least, a Great Power at or above the Divinity Transformation Realm!

With his current strength, it was likely still not enough to investigate the source of this conspiracy!

He needed to become stronger!

'The Qin family may have been just an ordinary family.'

'But it had me, with my Chaos Five Elements Body, and Xiaotong, with her Innate Spirit Body...'
