The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3364: 3359: Ye Shan Dao Ancestor Appears_1

Jiang Qifeng was unaware that his speculation had struck remarkably close to the truth, as Yang Chen had indeed targeted the Yueyang Essence.

Having secured the Yueyang Essence, he saw no reason to press on any longer!

Although he possessed sufficient power to conquer the Twelfth Floor and claim a substantial reward of Jiyu Essence afterward, from his present viewpoint, maintaining a modest presence proved more advantageous than acquiring the Jiyu Essence.

He intended to hide his full capabilities entirely, yet he preferred not to reveal his maximum potential to onlookers.

In particular, there was no necessity for him to flaunt it before Silver City and the Nine Stars King.

Shortly after, Yang Chen, having departed from the Jingling Secret Realm, fully emerged through the realm's primary entrance.

The instant Yang Chen appeared, he ignited a massive commotion.

All gazes locked onto him, making Yang Chen undoubtedly the focal point of the gathering.

A tense hush settled over the crowd, with everyone too engrossed in watching Yang Chen to utter a word or start a conversation.

Yang Chen advanced and positioned himself before Jiang Qifeng.

Jiang Qifeng rose to welcome him, chuckling loudly, “Brother Yang Chen, you’ve truly opened my eyes. Well, your reward, the Jiyu Essence, I can decide upon. However, for the Yueyang Essence, I have to apply to the Dao Ancestor Elder. You know, the Yueyang Essence is not an ordinary thing.”

“Yes, I know.” Yang Chen remained unconcerned, for with Ye Shan Dao Ancestor's esteemed position, it seemed improbable that he would stoop to dishonorable acts over the Yueyang Essence.

Moreover, a large audience observed the proceedings today.

Just as Jiang Qifeng prepared to stand and seek out Ye Shan Dao Ancestor, an immense oppressive force suddenly engulfed the surroundings.

As this force expanded, every individual experienced a profound sense of helplessness, like an enormous mountain bearing down upon them.

Initially, Yang Chen believed it targeted him alone or solely those at the Heaven-separated Realm level. Yet, upon glancing back and noticing Silver City and Jiang Qifeng also afflicted, he quickly deduced the identity of the newcomer.

“It appears that Ye Shan Dao Ancestor has arrived…”

Yang Chen mused inwardly, feeling no shock. After all, the uproar he had created made it odd if it hadn't drawn Ye Shan Dao Ancestor's notice.

Once the Qi faded away, the form of Ye Shan Dao Ancestor gradually materialized.

Ye Shan Dao Ancestor appeared as an elder with flowing white beard, gripping a ruler that hovered and dipped mysteriously. Though he looked advanced in years, his gaze pierced with exceptional keenness, and the aura radiating from him surpassed that of everyone present by a vast margin.

“It’s Ye Shan Dao Ancestor.”

“Ye Shan Dao Ancestor has arrived.”

A throng of influential figures refrained from any laxity and offered deep bows, “Greetings, Ye Shan Dao Ancestor.”

The sight of so many mighty individuals showing such deference created an impressive display.

Ye Shan Dao Ancestor relished the moment somewhat, but after enduring through countless ages, he remained unmoved by such gestures. With composed poise, he flicked his sleeve and declared, “Fellow Daoists, no need for formalities. When visiting my ancient castle, regard it as your own abode and relax without restraint. My purpose for emerging this time concerns Yang Chen.”

Yang Chen inclined his body, attentively absorbing Ye Shan Dao Ancestor’s statements.

Ye Shan Dao Ancestor spoke steadily, “Yang Chen, I’ve learned of your affiliation with the Divine Night Sect. Though our connection isn’t profound, I hail from Heavenly Melody Mountain. Yet today, I genuinely wish to take you as my disciple. I’ve observed your feats within the Jingling Secret Realm. It seems both you and I share profound understanding of the soul. Should I become your master, it may not be flawless, but I believe it fitting, with few others matching this suitability.”

Listening to Ye Shan Dao Ancestor’s remarks, Yang Chen readily grasped the validity of his observation.

Not only did Ye Shan Dao Ancestor sense it, but Yang Chen shared the sentiment.

Each had delved deeply into soul studies, and under Ye Shan Dao Ancestor’s guidance, beyond other fields, his progress in soul cultivation would undoubtedly reach remarkable heights.

Once more, the atmosphere erupted in fervor.

“Ye Shan Dao Ancestor seeks a disciple!”

“Yang Chen is bound for great fortune now.”

“Level 9 Merit, coupled with a Dao Ancestor Expert as support. How many Dao Ancestor Experts exist in our Ancient Divine Realm?”

“Unbelievable, a Dao Ancestor Expert accepting a disciple! If I received such honor in my life, I’d rest content even in death.”

“Hehe, who wouldn’t desire apprenticeship under a Dao Ancestor Expert? Regrettably, it falls to him, not us.”

Yang Chen held considerable fascination for Ye Shan Dao Ancestor’s soul path, yet regrettably, he always saw tasks through to completion.

“Ye Shan Dao Ancestor, I apologize, but I haven’t considered departing from the Divine Night Sect. I hope you can comprehend.” Yang Chen replied.

As soon as he spoke, the audience buzzed with disbelief.

Moments earlier, throngs had admired Yang Chen’s bold achievement, but now he had outdone it by rejecting a Dao Ancestor Expert’s invitation to discipleship!

“Sigh…” Ye Shan Dao Ancestor let out a breath, appearing to recognize the difficulty of recruiting a disciple amid sect loyalties.

He harbored no resentment, since if Yang Chen had abandoned the Divine Night Sect so readily, his regard for him would have diminished.

Those prone to forsaking their sect lack the qualities for true discipleship.

“I comprehend your stance; alas, destiny eludes us master and disciple. Since I’ve appeared, I won’t depart empty-handed. By the records, conquering the Eleventh Floor earns you 300,000 Extreme Universe Essence, a chunk of Titanium Crystal Iron, and Yueyang Essence. Yet, I’ll add an extra 100,000 Extreme Universe Essence, totaling 400,000 Extreme Universe Essence. Does that suit you?”

“My deepest thanks, Ye Shan Dao Ancestor,” Yang Chen promptly conveyed his appreciation.

Ye Shan Dao Ancestor offered a faint smile, unperturbed, and swept his sleeve, instructing, “Very well, Jiang Qifeng, bestow the rewards upon Brother Yang Chen.”

“Yes!” Jiang Qifeng brimmed with emotion.

Ye Shan Dao Ancestor did not tarry. Like a divine dragon glimpsed in part yet vanishing swiftly, he arrived and left at will, vanishing tracelessly upon finishing his words.

Jiang Qifeng produced a storage bag and presented it, encompassing all of Yang Chen’s due rewards.

The onlookers gazed with a mix of admiration, envy, and bitterness. 400,000 Extreme Universe Essence, alongside Yueyang Essence and Titanium Crystal Iron—who could resist such valuables?

Though 400,000 might not dramatically elevate Yang Chen’s existing merit tally, for any other formidable figure, it would transform their standing significantly.

Yang Chen accepted the storage bag, gave its contents a quick scan, and stated, “Thank you, Brother Jiang.”

“Haha, no need to thank me. Direct your gratitude to my Dao Ancestor,” Jiang Qifeng chuckled.

Yang Chen grinned and clasped his hands in salute, offering little more. His attention then shifted toward the Nine Stars King and Silver City standing nearby.
