Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

"Postponed?"

This sudden news caught Ye Chen completely by surprise.

The Peach Blossom Banquet was a rare and grand event in Dongxuan Province, involving countless factions, both large and small.

How could it possibly be postponed so suddenly?

Mo Tianyun said with a sigh, "I was surprised as well, but I received news of the postponement before I came here."

"Do you know why the Peach Blossom Banquet was postponed, Steward Mo?" Ye Chen asked.

"It's said to be because a very important figure has arrived in Dongxuan Province!"

Mo Tianyun mused, "We were in a hurry to get here, so we didn't find out too many details."

"All we know is that the Dongxuan Prefecture is occupied with hosting this person and has no time to hold the Peach Blossom Banquet. Therefore, it's been delayed for a month."

'If that's really the case, then we have a lot more time on our hands.'

Ye Chen naturally didn't doubt Mo Tianyun's words.

As a steward of the Great Hong Demon Exorcism Institute, an official organization, the network of informants and channels Mo Tianyun commanded was unimaginably vast and complex!

With an extra month, they could now cultivate here in peace for a while.

They could even wait for the Great Dao's rain of light to fade before setting off!

"Little Friend Ye, with your current strength, wouldn't participating in the Peach Blossom Banquet be just bullying everyone else?"

"It's not appropriate for you to be a contestant. Why don't you join me as an honored guest and watch instead?"

Mo Tianyun said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ye Chen just smiled and shook his head. "We'll see when the time comes."

Of course, he had no desire to go up there and bully people.

At his current realm, when he thought back to the geniuses from the various factions in the Dragon Prison Cave just half a month ago, he felt they were completely out of his league.

'Even after this past month, how much could those prodigies he'd fought against have improved?'

He could now slaughter Divinity Transformation experts as if they were dogs, yet most of those so-called prodigies were still stuck at the Primordial Mansion level.

A real duel would undoubtedly be dull and uninteresting.

But these were trivial matters to consider later.

'Right now, I must seize every moment to cultivate properly while the Great Dao's rain of light is still falling!'

Soon, Ye Chen and the others, just like the other Cultivators present, began to cultivate in peace.

But, to Ye Chen's surprise...

The Great Dao's rain of light seemed to deliberately avoid his position.

As a result, even though he was also bathed in the rain of light, the amount he could absorb was far less than what the other Cultivators received!

'Is it because I've already refined this power within my body?'

Ye Chen felt a little helpless.

The Immortal of Kunlun had originally intended to use his remaining power to leave a great fortune for the living beings on Kunlun Mountain.

This Great Dao's rain of light was, naturally, his masterpiece!

However, the Immortal of Kunlun had already expended a quarter of his power to save Ye Chen earlier.

Therefore, after sensing the homogenous aura on Ye Chen, the rain of light would intentionally avoid his location.

After all, Ye Chen had already received a quarter of the power; it would be a bit too greedy if he continued to absorb more.

Ye Chen hadn't expected the Immortal of Kunlun to have left such a contingency in place.

But he felt no blame in his heart.

The Immortal of Kunlun had wanted to leave a great fortune for the mountain peak he guarded, but he had expended a great deal of his strength to save Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was endlessly grateful, so how could he possibly feel any blame?

'I can't absorb much of the Great Dao's rain of light.'

'But even though most of the power the Immortal of Kunlun granted me was consumed in the explosion, I managed to refine a lingering trace of it.'

'On top of that, obtaining the Red Lotus Karma Fire activated my innate talent, and my Chaos Five Elements Body has unleashed a massive amount of its potential!'

'In my body's current state, even without absorbing the rain of light, my cultivation efficiency might not be much weaker than the other Cultivators'!'

Ye Chen's eyes flickered.

After the series of great battles he'd just been through, his blood and qi were surging, and Spiritual Power coursed rapidly through his limbs and meridians. It was the perfect time for a breakthrough!

Even without the opportunity provided by the rain of light, he was confident he could still improve significantly during this time!

Ye Chen took out the Five Elements Pill, which had been refined into a Pseudo-Immortal Pill, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The remnant power of the Immortal of Kunlun, the unlocked potential of his Chaos Five Elements Body, and the Pseudo-Immortal Pill-grade Five Elements Pill...

All these powers combined, transforming the inside of Ye Chen's body into something like a primordial chaos. Multicolored radiances surged, tempering his physical body and his cultivation.

In this state, Ye Chen's aura began to skyrocket!

In just three days, Ye Chen consolidated his cultivation base and broke through to the Second Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm.

Five days later, Ye Chen broke through to the Third Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm.

Another week passed, and Ye Chen broke through once more to the Fourth Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm...

In the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.

Since first arriving at Kunlun Mountain, Ye Chen's group had now been there for a full month.

Ye Chen opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

Sensing the surging power within him, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

'Fourth Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm, huh...'

'If I use the Chaos Prison Suppression Cauldron to refine a Fourth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill next, I should be able to make another breakthrough in a very short time!'

'I wonder just how astonishing the effect of a Pseudo-Immortal Pill-grade, Fourth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill will be?'

Ye Chen was filled with anticipation.

Thinking this, he slowly rose to his feet and stopped cultivating.

He had more or less utilized all the various powers within his body.

His realm was now completely stable at the Fourth Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm. Even if he continued to cultivate, it would be difficult to make any more progress for a while.

Ye Chen glanced at the others and saw that they were all still immersed in the baptism of the Great Dao's rain of light, seemingly oblivious to the outside world.

Of course, after half a month, the rain of light had already grown much thinner.

After all, the Immortal of Kunlun's residual power was not infinite.

Compared to the beginning, the rain of light was now sparse and weak.

It probably wouldn't be long before this great fortune completely dissipated from the world.

And with it, the last trace of the Immortal of Kunlun's will-clone left in this world would also vanish.

Ye Chen felt a wave of emotion, wondering when he would become strong enough to meet the Immortal of Kunlun's true self.

But that was not something he needed to consider right now.

While the others were still cultivating, he could take the opportunity to explore the final secret of Kunlun Mountain!

'Back then, I found a stalk of Profound Ice Grass on Kunlun Mountain.'

'This type of Spirit Grass usually grows in places with extremely dense Yin-Sha qi!'

'The Realm Spirit judged from this that there must be some kind of Spiritual Object related to Yin-Sha power hidden beneath the body of Kunlun Mountain!'

Ye Chen leaped into the air and flew toward the location where he had found the Profound Ice Grass.
