The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3673 - 3663: Dark Domain!
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Her gaze upon Su Yunyan resembled that of beholding invaluable gold and silver treasures, filled with intense fervor, though the previous intimacy had diminished noticeably...
Right then, Ye Chen sent a silent voice transmission to Su Yunyan, "Is the so-called matter your wedding affair?"
Even without knowing the exact details of Su Yunyan's promise, Ye Chen had inferred much from Nan Fengyin's look...
Right now, Nan Fengyin's expression mirrored how Song Ziqing had eyed Jin Shuhui atop Refining God Peak!
Su Yunyan started in surprise but nodded silently nonetheless.
Ye Chen's gaze gleamed as he inquired, "How long can you delay?"
Su Yunyan subtly traced three horizontal lines on the ground using her finger.
Staring at those three lines, Ye Chen's eyes lit up brilliantly, and he declared, "Miss Su, today's favor, I shall engrave it in my heart, and in three months, I will definitely repay it!"
With those words, he shot a chilly look at Nan Fengyin, who responded coldly, "Since Yunyan has begged mercy for you two, you may depart now, but henceforth, you two bear no relation to Star Moon Palace!"
Ye Chen gave a light smile, said nothing further, and departed straightaway alongside Jin Shuhui and Xu Shenglong.
He realized that his present strength made challenging Nan Fengyin impossible.
Nan Fengyin wasn't even worthy of him deploying that ultimate card!
However, in three months, things could shift dramatically!
Su Yunyan rose to her feet, watching Ye Chen's retreating figure, her lovely eyes holding a subtle glimmer of expectation...
She understood Nan Fengyin's immense thirst for authority!
Should she marry, even the Ancient Six Sects of Moon Soul Domain might fail to fulfill her desires?
Thus, she could opt for Moon Soul Domain's supreme powers, or perhaps influences from Yangzhen Domain!
Certain smaller factions in Yangzhen Domain still wielded fearsome influence over Moon Soul Domain sects!
Typically, High-level Realm forces avoid meddling in Low-level Domain affairs to prevent conflicts, yet exceptions exist!
For instance, marital alliances between factions alter the dynamics entirely!
Would a martial marriage alliance serve as sufficient pretext for intervention?
Hence, should Ye Chen seek to halt this wedding, he'd confront not merely Star Moon Palace, but potentially Moon Soul Domain's elite forces, and even Yangzhen Domain entities!
Achieving the might to rival such colossal entities in just three months bordered on the unattainable...
Nevertheless, Su Yunyan harbored an odd faith in Ye Chen, sensing no feat beyond his grasp...
Perhaps with Ye Chen, her destiny could truly be rewritten?
...
Upon a lofty peak neighboring Star Moon Palace, three streaks of golden lightning descended, none other than Ye Chen and his two allies.
Xu Shenglong turned to Ye Chen, "Brother Ye, what's our next move? If needed, I can return and request my uncle's aid..."
He was certain that given Ye Chen's temperament, his feud with Zhang Changqing and Star Moon Palace remained unresolved!
Besides, Xu Shenglong had come to view Su Yunyan as Brother Ye's prospective wife too; surely Brother Ye wouldn't abandon her to peril?
Ye Chen shook his head, replying, "Now that you've parted from Nine Saint Demon Sect, we'll resolve this ourselves without troubling Master Huang. Our sole focus now is boosting our strength!"
Xu Shenglong's eyes widened at this; most in his shoes would chase allies or mighty patrons, yet Brother Ye trusted solely in his own power!
In that instant, he grasped why Ye Chen wielded such overwhelming might!
A gentle smile graced Jin Shuhui's beautiful face, long familiar with Ye Chen's resolve...
Ye Chen questioned Fairy Xuan Han Yu, "Fairy Xuan, if I release your next seal, what battling prowess can you display?"
Xuan Han Yu considered briefly before answering, "If fortune favors, a ten percent shot at overcoming someone like Nan Fengyin! But just once."
Ye Chen's brow furrowed faintly; his current might hovered near late-stage Heavenly Repairing Realm, yet the chasm to Nan Fengyin loomed like an endless abyss!
Xuan Han Yu's complete support granting a mere ten percent victory chance against Nan Fengyin already defied the heavens!
Yet it fell short!
This level of strength couldn't dream of toppling Yangzhen Domain powers, much less Star Moon Palace!
To clash with such titans, his cultivation needed to surge to late-stage or pinnacle Heavenly Repairing Realm!
Paths to elevate his power existed, like perfecting the Spirit Moon Dharma Body, steady realm advancement, or absorbing his reserves of Moon Liquid Spirit Marrow and Netherworld Water...
But those routes dragged on too long!
Three months was all he had!
Then Xuan Han Yu interjected, "Ye Chen, for rapid power growth in three months, a method exists, though fraught with peril!"
Ye Chen brightened, urging, "Fairy Xuan, speak it!"
Risk? Cultivation had never shunned danger!
Had he shied from peril, he'd never have risen this far!
Xuan Han Yu anticipated Ye Chen's boldness, proceeding gravely and slowly, "Do you realize Star Swirl Domain exceeds expectations in scale?"
"Hmm?" Ye Chen shook his head, "Really? Maps show Star Swirl Domain marginally tinier than Moon Soul Domain?"
Ye Chen felt puzzled; why mention Star Swirl Domain?
Xuan Han Yu offered a faint smile, explaining, "That's due to its split into Bright Territory and Dark Domain! Many deem Star Swirl Domain the feeblest of the Four Great Domains?
Haha, mere narrow sight; factoring in Dark Domain, Star Swirl Domain rivals even Heavenly Human Domain!"
Ye Chen jolted at the revelation, utterly stunned!
Still, he comprehended; Dark Domain evoked eternal shadows, thriving distant from power hubs!
In the Outer Realm, Heavenly Human Domain reigned supreme, Star Swirl farthest away, allowing Dark Domain to burgeon unchecked!
"The higher the perch, the remoter the emperor," perfectly captured it!
Xuan Han Yu pressed on, "Dark Domain harbors fugitives from every domain, Evil Dao sect outcasts, relics of lost eras; forbidden trades of Bright Territory thrive there nonstop, rarities absent elsewhere abound!
In essence, Dark Domain mirrors an underworld, teeming with hazards and fortunes! Some perish in hours, destitute on streets; others amass wealth in a flash! Many scrape by in misery, while others soar like fish to water, strength exploding!"
Ye Chen's heart raced with thrill upon hearing this!
