Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 444: The Great Yang Divine Dynasty Ruins!

After receiving the news, Ye Chen arrived at the Cloud Summit Heaven Palace. Senior Brother and a group of elders were already gathered, discussing something.

Feng Baiyu spoke coldly, "This trip to the Endless Sea isn't about the Great Yang Scripture or the Fusang Ancient Tree. Those don't matter. Our Heavenly Evolution Holy Land has a deep foundation. Such treasures are nice but not essential. This time, we go to kill and avenge. Whoever dares kill our Heavenly Evolution Holy Land's elder must pay with their life."

Ye Chen's lips twitched. The Holy Master's thirst for vengeance was intense. But Ye Chen liked it. It was straightforward and satisfying.

Senior Brother Hua saw Ye Chen and smiled, then said thoughtfully, "Junior Brother just broke through to Deity Transformation. Why not stay and cultivate? Heavenly Intention Holy Maiden has reached the Unity realm. If you meet, she'll surely target you. Though your strength is formidable, there's no need for reckless pride. We'll handle it. If you need anything, just tell me, and I'll retrieve it for you."

Ye Chen looked at his refined Senior Brother and couldn't help but grin. Senior Brother was just too kind—Ye Chen was almost moved to tears. But if the fiancée was heading to the Endless Sea, he had to go. She was likely bringing the stone tablet with the Battle Secret, and he couldn't miss it. The Great Yang Scripture and Fusang Ancient Tree also stirred his heart. They were must-haves.

So Ye Chen shook his head without hesitation. "I'm part of Heavenly Evolution Holy Land. I must contribute. I'll go with Senior Brother. As for Heavenly Intention Holy Maiden, no need to worry. I suppressed her once, and I can do it again!" His words brimmed with confidence.

Heavenly Intention Holy Son might be a challenge, but a mere Holy Maiden? He could handle her.

Hua Yunfei smiled and didn't press further.

Feng Baiyu, watching this, nodded in approval. Their first Holy Maiden was unreliable for now, but the fourth Holy Son was proving exceptional. Feng Baiyu raised his hand with a smile. "Very well, we depart soon!"

After leaving the Palace, Ye Chen returned to Ascension Peak. He informed Senior An, then, under Lu Jing's expectant gaze, rejected her idea of entering his small world. He told her to use resources and break through to Nascent Soul first. By then, his small world's immortal roots would grow, and its rules and laws would be more complete, perhaps suitable for cultivation.

Next, Ye Chen checked on the fallen elder's orphan. He gifted her a Soul-Swaying Divine Stone and Star Spirit Water to enhance her talent and cultivation. He also bestowed the Hundred Flowers Immortal Scripture to aid her practice. The orphan was overwhelmed with gratitude.

After handling everything, Ye Chen boarded the prepared tower ship, standing beside Senior Brother, heading toward the Endless Sea. The elders didn't travel with them but moved covertly, ready to ambush Heavenly Intention Holy Land's experts. Through his Heavy Pupil, Ye Chen vaguely saw dozens of figures hidden in the void. It felt oddly like leading a group to a brawl.

The Endless Sea was far, spanning billions of miles between the Great Yan Continent and the Central Continent. But with Senior Brother and the elders' cultivation, their speed was extraordinary. In just ten days, they reached the Endless Sea.

Ye Chen's first visit to the Endless Sea filled him with curiosity as he stood at the ship's bow, gazing into the distance. Unlike the seas in his mind, the Endless Sea was pitch-black, as if staining the sky itself.

Standing on its surface, surrounded by darkness without a single island in sight, the oppressive atmosphere was overwhelming. The sea was eerily calm, its waters blocking the spiritual sense. Even with Ye Chen's formidable spiritual sense, amplified nearly a thousandfold after breaking through to Deity Transformation, he could barely probe ten thousand meters deep.

For other Deity Transformation cultivators, ten meters would be their limit. No wonder the Endless Sea was so perilous that even the Yao Family's Holy Maiden perished here. It was indeed dangerous.

The tower ship pressed forward, and after three days, the monotonous sea finally stirred. Golden light illuminated the world, as if a sun rose from the ocean's depths. Hundreds of divine mountains and temples floated above the sea, stretching tens of millions of miles.

Most mountains remained sealed, but the dozens that were open teemed with cultivators. Battles erupted frequently, creating a lively spectacle, with many major forces observing.

When Heavenly Evolution Holy Land's tower ship arrived, the area fell silent. Ye Chen and Hua Yunfei stood at the bow, calmly surveying the scene, drawing all eyes.

"Hua Yunfei has indeed reached the Unity realm."

"Heavenly Intention Holy Son is coming soon. A major battle is inevitable."

"The Fourth Holy Son reached Deity Transformation in just a few years—his cultivation speed is unreal!"

"Worthy of the Heavenly Emperor's successor, truly astonishing."

"Heavenly Intention Holy Maiden, Yi Qingwu, also broke through to Unity. She'll likely show up. The Fourth Holy Son tied with her before, but this time, he's in trouble."

"The gap between Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation is smaller than between Deity Transformation and Unity. The Fourth Holy Son might avoid clashing with her directly."

"But don't underestimate him. With his Supreme Heart, a single strike from the Hand of Heaven could sweep everything."

The crowd buzzed with speculation, eager for the clash between Hua Yunfei and Heavenly Intention Holy Son, while opinions on Ye Chen and Heavenly Intention Holy Maiden's strengths varied.

Ye Chen paid them no mind. Scanning the surroundings, he spotted a valley at the center of the mountains, shrouded in a sealing aura. Golden light flickered within, blazing intensely, while the surrounding seawater boiled, radiating waves of divine mist. That was clearly Tang Valley, where the Fusang Ancient Tree grew—the core of the Great Yang Divine Dynasty.

As he pondered, a figure approached the ship. She had a graceful figure, her long, slender legs striking yet powerful, drawing attention. Her face was veiled in mist, obscuring her features.

"Greetings, Holy Sons," she said in a slightly husky, alluring voice. It was Lin Qingtan, the first elder of Ye Chen's Ascension Peak.

"Elder Lin, you've worked hard. What's the situation here?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.

Lin Qingtan looked at him with complex emotions before replying, "Since the ruins emerged, a divine peak unseals every three days. But the intervals are speeding up. At this rate, the core Tang Valley might unseal in half a month. On its seal, I've occasionally seen a divine tree's shadow and felt the Sun's holy power. I suspect the Fusang Divine Tree is still alive!"
