The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3608 - 3598: Great Upheaval! (Six Updates)

When he thought back to the Emperor Abyss Palace emblem he'd spotted upon his initial return to Huaxia, it appeared that forces from higher up had indeed meddled in Huaxia's affairs!

In that instant, a sharp cry echoed right by his ear!

"Who goes there!"

Instantly after, a thick cloud of dark mist morphed into a massive serpent-like beast, charging straight at Ye Lingtian’s divine sense!

Ye Lingtian attempted to withdraw, yet it proved far too slow!

Beyond the cavern entrance, Ye Lingtian retreated a short distance, his face turning profoundly serious!

Jin Lengyan observed his reaction and quickly inquired, "Mr. Ye, what's going on?"

Ye Lingtian replied, "Someone lurks beneath the cave! And it doesn't seem to be from Huaxia..."

Jin Lengyan's expression darkened as a certain realization struck her, prompting her to ask, "Should we alert Mister Ye?"

Ye Lingtian paused briefly at her words, but ultimately declined with a shake of his head: "We'll hold off for now. If I can handle it myself, no point in bothering the Hall Master."

"Yet I sense vaguely that this issue might be beyond my grasp..."

"Let's head down and inspect the cave."

In the following moment, the pair of silhouettes dove into the cavern, swallowed entirely by the enveloping gloom.

...

Within the Outer Realm's Star Swirl Domain.

A colossal mountain rose from the boundless sea, signifying the position of Refining God Peak.

Time had elapsed since the wedding tournament where Ye Chen obliterated the Divine Master Song Ziqing of Refining God Peak. At first, with multiple elders gone, Refining God Peak teetered on collapse. Remarkably, in merely half a month, it started to recover, as order gradually returned to Refining God Peak. Disciples who had grown despondent and pondered departure slowly rediscovered their faith in the sect.

This shift was undoubtedly thanks to Ye Chen!

Post the clash at Refining God Peak, Ye Chen's name echoed across the Star Swirl Domain, famed for slaying a late Holy Ancestor Realm powerhouse through his divine-level cultivation, wielding the Destruction Divine Dao, and boasting overwhelming vitality—his rise to prominence felt destined!

Such renown inevitably attracted notice from various powers in the Star Swirl Domain.

Curiously, though, Ye Chen vanished without a trace after the Refining God Peak confrontation...

While those major factions yearned to locate the fabled prodigy, their searches proved fruitless for the moment, leading them to court Refining God Peak as an alternative!

Everyone knew of the bond between Ye Chen and Jin Shuhui, and with Lan Ying—Jin Shuhui’s mentor—now taking over as Divine Master of Refining God Peak, poised to claim the role permanently, aligning with Refining God Peak offered a vital path to approaching Ye Chen!

They showered Refining God Peak with numerous presents, and certain sects even suggested forming alliances with Lan Ying!

The once-frail Refining God Peak stood no chance of holding its ground before, but Ye Chen's influence flipped the script entirely...

Should any group disregard the dread of "Fierce People" Ye Chen and aim to seize Refining God Peak's assets, they'd need to reckon with these allied powers, right?

As a result, the sect's disciples, who had waned in spirit, began to rekindle their optimism.

In truth, given the ongoing momentum, Refining God Peak's expansion within the next hundred years seemed all but assured!

One could argue that this wedding contest, despite claiming Song Ziqing's life and ousting several elders, turned into a fortunate turn for Refining God Peak.

Right then, in a hidden chamber of Refining God Peak, a woman exuding a serene aura gently caressed a gleaming golden orb pulsing with radiant gold, her lovely gaze betraying hints of intricate feelings.

Lan Ying was this woman.

The orb Lan Ying held was known as the Soul-stabilizing Golden Pearl, capable of steadying the divine soul, accelerating Soul Dao progress, and offering further benefits. It ranked among the treasures the Song Family had seized from the Lan Family...

Following Song Ziqing's demise at Ye Chen's hands, he handed back portions of the Lan Family's possessions to Lan Ying; such items held little value to Ye Chen, especially since Lan Ying served as Jin Shuhui’s teacher and had bestowed upon him the Refining God Artifact, granting immense fortune.

During these days, Lan Ying's sole focus had been re-refining this Soul-stabilizing Golden Pearl!

Gazing upon the orb in her palm, linked as if by her very lineage, Lan Ying whispered, "Song Ziqing, your Song Family guarded this Soul-stabilizing Golden Pearl across endless eras, yet it's ironic how you overlooked its genuine purpose all that time. Armed with this Soul-stabilizing Golden Pearl, even if the dominant powers dominating the Star Swirl Domain united, could they truly overpower my Refining God Peak?"

A touch of solitary amusement curved her elegant features, followed by a soft exhale, "Ancestors of the Lan Family, after so long, your kin Lan Ying has at last retrieved this legacy..."

Concurrently, Lan Ying resolved inwardly to pass on all of Refining God Peak—encompassing the Six Evil Techniques she cultivated—to Jin Shuhui.

Early injuries had ravaged her body deeply, barring her from ever bearing children; Jin Shuhui had forever felt like her own child to Lan Ying. Moreover, regaining this heritage owed much to Jin Shuhui and Ye Chen...

...

At the same time, several ominous figures radiating immense pressure materialized on the horizon by the waters encircling Refining God Peak, stirring the ocean into near-frenzy!

Beneath the waves, myriad formidable marine creatures shuddered violently, plunging into the abyss as though fleeing a dire threat!

Frail specimens among them frothed and perished, their corpses bobbing up to the water's top!

The sheer horror they faced had slain them outright!

Moments later, a burst of brilliance lit the sky above the sea, and those shadows descended onto the area.

All these figures possessed exceptional bearing, their eyes scanning with an air of supremacy, deeming nothing in existence deserving of their regard!

Zhan You, heir of the Moon Soul Domain's Zhan Family, stood among them!

Trailing Zhan You by a pace were three males: a pair of middle-aged warriors and one aged elder!

Though these three exuded arrogance, a subtle deference colored their looks toward Zhan You.

Crucially, consider their cultivation achievements!

The trio shadowing Zhan You had all attained the true Heavenly Repairing Realm!

Even if the two middle-aged ones lingered at the initial or secondary tiers of the Heavenly Repairing Realm, united, absent interference from Secondary Land powerhouses, they could likely overrun the diminished Refining God Peak in the Star Swirl Domain, no?

Beyond that, the silver-haired old man was a powerhouse at the third tier of the Heavenly Repairing Realm!

Together, these three formed an invincible force in these parts!

In the end, the Star Swirl Domain harbored the feeblest martial framework across the Outer Realm.

These three served as tributes to the Zhan Family!

As an entity from the Moon Soul Domain, the Zhan Family's might far outstripped any in the Star Swirl Domain!

A chilling grin twisted Zhan You's lips; after his prior rout by Ye Chen, teetering on death's edge and enduring such shame in the Star Swirl Domain, how could Zhan You resist vengeance?

Plus, there was Jin Shuhui to deal with!
