The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3463 - 3458: Yang Chen’s Gift_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Princess Wenqi and White Eyebrow Ancestor now regarded Yang Chen with much greater favor. Accompanied by him, the pair headed straight for the Divine Night Sect’s Palace of the Round Moon.
As the supreme conference hall of the Divine Night Sect, the Palace of the Round Moon was typically reserved only for the sect’s Heavenly Fate Realm experts.
Princess Wenqi and White Eyebrow Ancestor had swiftly summoned a host of mighty figures to the Palace of the Round Moon.
These mighty individuals arrived without delay or hesitation. Although they hadn’t shown up in person, they had observed Yang Chen’s display vividly through their divine souls.
Yang Chen’s identity as Protector Emperor had become widely known. This news even roused Divine Night Sect ancestors who usually stayed secluded in cultivation, compelling them to emerge.
A crowd of powerhouses soon assembled within the Palace of the Round Moon.
Merely three days later, every powerhouse had convened in the Palace of the Round Moon.
Yang Chen, Princess Wenqi, and White Eyebrow Ancestor had already waited there patiently for some time.
More than twenty Destiny Realm powerhouses filled the Palace of the Round Moon entirely. Daoist Ancestor experts, including Princess Wenqi and White Eyebrow Ancestor, totaled a full six.
During his first visit, only five had been present. To his surprise, the Divine Night Sect hid additional masters, reaching six at the Heavenly Extreme Realm.
This battle strength proved utterly staggering. Fortunately, he hadn’t plunged deeper into the Netherworld back then. Otherwise, the Heavenly Extreme Realm forces inside could have crushed him in an instant.
The five Daoist ancestors he encountered in Earth Spirit Hall weren’t the complete roster. Others remained concealed or were away on assignments. Yet a single Divine Night Sect in the Taiyuan Star System boasted six Sky-limiting Realms. What of Grand Abyss Palace and Heavenly Melody Mountain together?
Their human Heavenly Extreme Realm Daoist ancestors would number no fewer.
All the powerhouses now gazed at Yang Chen with deep approval.
Familiar faces like Gu Jianchou stood among them.
Aided by the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine from Yang Chen, Gu Jianchou had advanced to Destiny Realm Late-stage. Upon seeing Yang Chen, he smiled and greeted, "Yang Chen, long time no see. I never thought your cultivation level has changed so greatly. Haha, by the way, I owe this progress to you, as I have barely entered the Destiny Realm Late-stage."
Beyond Gu Jianchou, numerous Heaven-separated Realm Mid-stage powerhouses also owed favors to Yang Chen. With his achievement as Protector Emperor, they eagerly sought him out for conversation and to express concern for his well-being.
They understood that forging ties with Yang Chen offered mutual benefits, having witnessed his formidable strength firsthand. He possessed the power to shift the views of Ling Bie Daoist Ancestor and Xuanyang Palace Master, rendering them utterly speechless.
Ye Fengyi alone sat in his chair, consumed by bitter regret.
His relationship with Yang Chen had been the sourest then, complete with ridicule, costing him the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine and leaving him dejected for a spell.
He later reassured himself that no matter Yang Chen’s prowess, he remained at Heaven-separated Realm. Yet Yang Chen returned utterly transformed, bearing Destiny Realm cultivation.
Cultivation level wasn’t the vital factor; Yang Chen’s Protector Emperor status held the true significance.
Ye Fengyi could merely watch the powerhouses chat amiably with Yang Chen, seething with intense jealousy in his heart. However, these greetings and inquiries didn’t persist long. Lonely Mountain Ancestor, seated beside White Eyebrow Ancestor, gave a light cough.
All the powerhouses immediately comprehended and silently resumed their seats.
Lonely Mountain Ancestor spoke up, "Yang Chen, we just got the news, didn’t expect that you had such glorious merits and battle achievements in Earth Spirit Hall. With 150 million Jiyu Essence and even obtaining the supreme treasures from various secret realms, you killed many Destiny Realm ghost kings, which truly opened our eyes."
The other powerhouses nodded in unison, evidently privy to reports on Yang Chen.
Though Lonely Mountain Ancestor once held a neutral view of Yang Chen, he now found him quite agreeable.
"Yang Chen, what you said today to the Spirit Separation Ancestor and Xuanyang Palace Master has eased our minds greatly. People from Tai Yuan Palace always behave recklessly, while we in the Divine Night Sect focus on our own matters with no spare time for them. We frequently overlook them, but they keep growing bolder and more presumptuous."
"It must be handled just like this, delivering them a harsh lesson."
A bunch of Dao Ancestors nodded in full agreement.
Only Princess Wenqi spoke with worry: "Yang Chen, are you really set on continuing the investigation like today?"
"Yes," Yang Chen responded, "This junior has seized Gu Zhuicheng and the King of Snow Eagles, planning to trace the clues—it shouldn't be tough to dig up more."
"Truth be told, these events aren't hidden secrets; nearly everyone suspects the Spirit Separation Ancestor's hand in them. Still, pursuing proof and charging him as Protector Emperor could blow things out of proportion. He won't make evidence easy to obtain," Princess Wenqi explained.
Yang Chen shook his head: "Is Senior Wenqi suggesting I drop it if feasible?"
Princess Wenqi frowned: "I'm considering that a peaceful settlement, if possible, would benefit both you and Tai Yuan Palace."
Yang Chen sighed: "But can this really be resolved? Before, without any counter from this junior, Spirit Separation Ancestor stirred up endless troubles for me. Even in Earth Spirit Hall, he dispatched his disciple to attempt my life—something all seniors might not realize. How could I tolerate it?"
"Even should I endure it, would Spirit Separation simply stop? That's why this junior burns with rage today and vows a full confrontation. Moving forward, I won't yield an inch. If he keeps aiming at me, I'll battle him relentlessly to the finish."
White Eyebrow Ancestor nodded: "Junior Sister Wenqi, this issue runs deeper than you believe. Yang Chen's path is correct. Yielding now seals off all retreat. He must press on. It's a fight to the death between him and Spirit Separation Ancestor, with zero chance for peace."
"Precisely," Lonely Mountain Ancestor sighed too, "Yet with your Protector Emperor title, Yang Chen, passivity isn't required. No matter what, Divine Night Sect backs you fully. Spirit Separation Ancestor has overstepped badly of late."
Seeing these Dao Ancestors firmly in his corner, warmth surged in Yang Chen's heart.
With such aid from the Dao Ancestors, he naturally owed them a return favor.
"I thank all Dao Ancestors for your support and care. Repaying you leaves me at a loss. These aren't lavish presents, but fortunes seized from the brutal clashes in Earth Spirit Hall. Please accept them, seniors," Yang Chen declared.
The assembly of Dao Ancestor powerhouses flicked their sleeves dismissively, grumbling they wanted no such trifles.
In the end, experts at the Dao Ancestor level wouldn't eye trinkets from a youth like Yang Chen.
Yet once Yang Chen unveiled his items, the Dao Ancestor powerhouses couldn't tear their gazes away.
