Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

To elaborate on this point, it's somewhat unreasonable. After all, given the Soul Hall's strength, capturing Xiao Yan wouldn't have been difficult before the Bodhi Tree incident.

But they didn't do that; they just kept offering themselves up for the protagonist to level up...

In the present world, although the Soul Palace still doesn't take Xiao Yan seriously, they've seen that he's showing signs of growing stronger, so they've decided to take action immediately.

Although this resulted in significant losses, it can be considered a belated but necessary step for the Soul Clan.

After all, although Xiao Yan's own strength is not that great, he has the secret support of the ancient clans and the protection of the Pill Tower Alliance. In addition, he has also been lucky enough to rescue an "ancestor" from the Demon Flame Space. If he does not take this opportunity to make a move, then he will really have a hard time in the future!

"Let's go, let's go back and take a look..." After destroying the Heavenly Palace and the Earthly Palace, Ye Chen led his people back to the Pill Domain in a grand procession.

The conflict between the Soul Palace and the Pill Tower, which affected the entire Central Continent, has finally come to an end. The result was a great victory for the Pill Tower Alliance, and the Soul Palace was even directly destroyed!

This result was somewhat unexpected for many people.

After all, the Soul Palace, a dominant force that had stood in the Central Plains for nearly a thousand years, finally met its tragic end after so long of unbridled arrogance. This made many people feel both gratified and somewhat regretful.

After this battle, everyone understood that the rivalry between the two powers in Zhongzhou was finally over. Zhongzhou was about to enter an era where the Pill Tower reigned supreme…

Or to put it simply, the Central Plains will officially enter the era of Ye Chen!

……

……

In countless people

While people spoke of Ye Chen, this super-powerful figure who had dominated the entire Central State in less than ten years, with boundless awe and reverence, the story was passed down by word of mouth.

Unbeknownst to them, the monstrous talent they spoke of had already left the Central Region and arrived at the Tianxing Mountains in the Southern Region of the Central Continent…

"Hmm, his body is severely injured, and his soul is in a state of suspended animation..." Ye Chen frowned as he looked at Xiao Yan lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

"However, there is a faint regenerative power within him healing his injuries, so given enough time, he should be fully recovered..."

However, no one present relaxed even slightly because of Ye Chen's words, and Ye Chen continued as expected: "However, Xiao Yan's most troublesome problem right now is his soul..."

"At this moment, his soul seems to be undergoing some unknown change, whether it is good or bad, even I cannot predict."

These words caused Yao Chen and the others to turn deathly pale...

"This... even you, President Ye, can't judge this?" Yao Chen's heart sank to a low point, and his voice trembled slightly.

As far as Yao Chen knew, this person currently possessed the highest soul realm in the entire Central Continent, and arguably the entire Dou Qi Continent. If even he was helpless, then Xiao Yan was truly in trouble this time!

Ye Chen gently shook his head, showing no intention of refusing to help. He explained to everyone present, "Elder Yao, you should also know that the matter of the soul has always been the most mysterious. Even I cannot truly and confidently control the soul..."

Moreover, Xiao Yan's soul is currently unusually active and extremely unstable. If anyone from the outside were to intervene rashly, it would only do him harm. Therefore, the only thing we can do now is to wait patiently!

Sitting on the edge of the bed, holding Xiao Yan's hand, Gu Xun'er's other hand was already turning white from clenching it. Looking at the young man on the bed with his eyes closed, she forcibly suppressed a chilling killing intent deep in her heart.

"Brother Xiao Yan, I promise I won't let anything happen to you... Xun'er promises!"

"The Soul Clan... Soul Thousand Mo..."

Taking a deep breath, Gu Xun'er raised her pale face and looked at Ye Chen, pleadingly saying, "President Ye, do you have any way to help Brother Xiao Yan stabilize his soul? No matter what rare treasures are needed, I can guarantee to find them!"

Well, to be fair, this little princess of the ancient tribe certainly has the right to say such things.

However, many things cannot be accomplished simply by having strong abilities and a powerful background...

Frowning, Ye Chen pondered for a long time before looking at Yao Chen and asking, "When you broke into the Human Palace, did you see any soul essence that had been extracted by the Soul Clan?"

Upon hearing Ye Chen's question, Yao Chen was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he quickly replied, "Yes, yes!"

As he spoke, Yao Chen took out the enormous sphere of light from his storage ring—the one the Soul Palace used to hold the soul essence extracted from countless souls…

However, although the ball of light looked quite large, only about a quarter of the original soul essence inside remained, which was less than what Ye Chen had obtained from the Heavenly Palace. It was clear that most of it had already been consumed by the Soul Palace or certain members of the Soul Clan.

"Yes, very good." Ye Chen nodded and said. "The essence of the soul, as the most fundamental substance of the human soul, should be helpful to Xiao Yan in his current state."

"I'll refine all the remaining soul poison and resentment within these soul essences, and then let Xiao Yan absorb this soul essence power. That should help him awaken faster..."

Chapter 511 The Queen Emerges from Seclusion

After returning to the Pill Tower, Ye Chen was finally able to regain his peace.

The destruction of the Soul Palace was a significant achievement, and many members of the Pill Tower Alliance took this opportunity to enter seclusion in search of a breakthrough.

As for the current Dan Tower, with Cao Ying in charge, there shouldn't be any unexpected events.

Knowing this witch's personality, Ye Chen originally thought she would take advantage of the Pill Tower's soaring power to cause some trouble...

To Ye Chen's surprise, Cao Ying was very composed this time, neither arrogant nor impatient, and did not engage in any large-scale expansion or territorial consolidation.

Many veteran leaders couldn't help but nod in approval, praising the abundance of talent in the Dan Tower this generation...

Not only did it produce a prodigy like Ye Chen in terms of cultivation and alchemy, but it also produced a capable person like Cao Ying who could sit in the rear and control the overall situation!

Of course, beneath this calm surface, undercurrents were already surging, and news of the Soul Clan obtaining the Xiao Clan's ancient jade quickly reached the ears of the other clans.

This news put the Flame Clan, Thunder Clan, and others on high alert. The chieftains of the Flame Clan and Thunder Clan even invited the Medicine Clan to form a small-scale three-clan alliance!

It is clear that the three races have now completely lost trust in the Soul Race and the Ancient Race.

Although it was the Soul Clan who attacked the Xiao Clan's ancient jade this time, it cannot absolve the ancient clan of previous suspicions...

What if the ancient clan destroyed the spirit and stone clans and obtained their ancient jade? If the soul clan found out, they would have to take action beforehand to prevent the Xiao clan from obtaining their ancient jade?

Of course, such an idea may seem ridiculous, but compared to the survival of their own race, they would treat any suspicious point with absolute suspicion!

However, all of this has nothing to do with Ye Chen for the time being...

At this moment, Ye Chen was more concerned about whether the colorful butterfly at the bottom of the Nine Netherworld could successfully emerge from seclusion, and whether his own soul realm could break through again with the help of the soul origin he had obtained this time.

Although the Soul Palace has ended, Ye Chen has not forgotten that he still has an "old friend"—Huang Tian, ​​who is hiding in the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan to heal his wounds…

Back then, all the fighting force of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, led by Phoenix, was wiped out on Dragon Island. It can be said that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's strength was directly reduced by nearly 80% in one battle.

With such a deep-seated grudge, Ye Chen wondered if Huang Tian would be tough enough to challenge him to a one-on-one duel...

Yes, if it were before the battle at the Soul Palace, that would indeed be possible.

However, now that everyone in Zhongzhou knows that he can easily crush the Soul Palace Master, Hun Miesheng, Ye Chen estimates that Huang Tian doesn't have the guts.

Just in case, Ye Chen immediately sent Qing Lin back to the Beast Domain after the battle to oversee the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, to prevent Huang Tian from getting desperate and trying to bully the Nine Netherworld Python Clan...

Time just passed by day by day.

After several months of seclusion, Ye Chen finally emerged from his retreat.

However, his improvement this time was not significant, especially in terms of his soul realm, which remained at the Great Perfection of the Heaven Realm. Even though his soul value increased by several thousand points, he still couldn't reach the threshold of the Emperor Realm.

This left Ye Chen slightly disappointed.

However, these things can't be rushed, so he put aside his worries and spent time with his family...

>

As Ye Chen's strength grew, the strength of the Ye family members also rose accordingly. Even those who originally had little potential for growth were elevated to a level they never dared to imagine under the cultivation of a large number of pills.

Like Ye Chen's father, Ye Lan, and mother, Song Chun'er...

Both of them were only very ordinary in terms of fighting spirit and alchemy, but with the supply of a large number of high-level pills from Ye Chen, Ye Lan has now reached the level of a high-level Dou Zun, which is enough to make him the head of the Ye family.

As for Song Chun'er, she was slightly less capable, only at the level of a six-star Dou Zun. It wasn't because Ye Chen was biased, but because Song Chun'er herself didn't care much about this aspect. So, after understanding her mother's intentions, Ye Chen didn't force her.

Anyway, once I advance to Dou Di, everyone in the Ye family will receive a bloodline advancement...

At that time, my parents and sister, who are closest to me by blood, will be the most affected. Even if the two elders do nothing, they can immediately become Dou Sheng. Isn't that much better than hard cultivation?

As for Grandpa Ye Zhong, he is now the pillar of the entire Ye family!

Although Ye Chen is the guardian of the Ye family, he has almost stopped interfering in family affairs since becoming the president of the Pill Tower.

Although everyone knows that with him around, no one would dare to have any ill intentions towards the Ye family, the family has developed to this point and still needs a strong enough figure to lead it.

And this person can only be the strongest, and also the most prestigious elder besides Ye Chen, Ye Zhong...

For this reason, Ye Chen personally refined several Rank 9 pills, raising his grandfather's strength from a Rank 5 Dou Zun to a Rank 2 Half-Saint within a year!

Although this approach will destabilize Ye Zhong's foundation and increase the difficulty of future breakthroughs by a hundredfold, it's sufficient for now...

As I said before, once Ye Chen becomes a Dou Di, the entire Ye family bloodline will advance, and all these problems will be solved. Therefore, Ye Chen is not worried at all.

And so another six months passed...

Just as Ye Chen was pondering whether the Soul Clan would take action against the Medicine Clan, good news arrived from the Beast Realm ahead of time.

Her Majesty the Queen has emerged from seclusion!

On that day, nine-colored light illuminated the entire underground world!

On that day, all the members of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan and the Snake-Man Clan living in the underground world felt a blood pressure from the depths of their souls!

Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python!

This is a terrifying monster on par with the ancient Celestial Serpent King, and is known as the ancestor of all snakes!

Not only in the Dou Qi Continent, but even in the Great Thousand World, this is an existence comparable to super divine beasts such as the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan, and is one of the true top bloodlines in the universe!

Cold and beautiful, alluring, a scourge to the nation...

When Ye Chen saw that familiar and alluring figure again, several words immediately came to mind.

Similarly, the alluring beauty opposite her was also gazing at the figure before her, the one who haunted her dreams...

When her gaze fell upon that young figure, a gentle smile slowly curved her alluring face, like a peony in full bloom, captivating and breathtakingly beautiful.

Chapter 512 The Great Ceremony of the Medicine Clan

Looking at the dazzlingly beautiful smile on Her Majesty the Queen's face, Ye Chen felt slightly dazed, as if he were somewhat captivated by it.

Shaking his head slightly to come to his senses, Ye Chen chuckled and stepped forward, taking her soft, boneless hand in his. "Have you finished your seclusion?" he asked.

"Ah."

Cai Die smiled sweetly, her long, narrow eyes slowly sweeping over Ye Chen. Then, her delicate, crescent-shaped eyebrows twitched slightly, and she said with a disappointed look, "Your strength has improved again... I thought I could surpass you this time."

"Hehe..." Ye Chen revealed a suggestive smile, pulling her delicate body into his arms, his lips close to Her Majesty's ear, and whispered, "It's alright, even the strongest will fall at your feet..."

"Don't talk nonsense again!" The Queen pulled out her finger and twisted Ye Chen's waist hard, her face full of shame and anger as she scolded him.

After teasing Her Majesty the Queen a little, Ye Chen felt much better, and then changed the subject, asking, "What level of strength have you reached now?"

Cai Die raised an eyebrow, seemingly not intending to let this guy who deliberately wanted to embarrass her get away with it. She took light steps, bringing an alluring fragrance with her as she approached Ye Chen...

With a slight flicker in her beautiful eyes, Cai Die suddenly pointed a slender, jade-like finger at Ye Chen with lightning speed.

At his fingertips, a nine-colored luster appeared and disappeared, and a strange energy quietly spread out.

Seeing this, Ye Chen shook his head, clenched his fist, and milky white flames bloomed in front of him, while Cai Die's jade fingers barely stopped outside the flames...

It seems that after emerging from seclusion this time, Cai Die has transformed back into the untamed Medusa Queen she once was—cold, alluring, and possessing even greater self-confidence.

"Luckily, my strength has also greatly improved, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to deal with this witch..." Ye Chen muttered to himself.

He didn't want to be forced into a passive position during certain special circumstances...

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Tell me quickly, how strong are you now?" Ye Chen's smile faded, his expression turned serious, and he asked.

He discovered that even with his soul perception, he couldn't detect the exact strength of the rainbow butterfly. This was mainly because her aura was too strange at the moment, somewhat illusory and ethereal, and it seemed to fluctuate in strength.

Seeing Ye Chen's serious expression, he smiled slightly and then said, "As for your Dou Qi cultivation, you should have just broken through to the Five-Star Dou Sheng realm, which is considered the early stage of the Five-Star Dou Sheng realm..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was overjoyed; this was even a star higher than in the original story.

"But why is your aura..."

Before Ye Chen could finish speaking, he already understood the reason.

Then, Cai Die gently raised her jade-like hand, her brocade sleeve slid down, revealing her fair wrist, as white as mutton fat jade...

On that fair wrist, streaks of iridescent snake patterns extended upwards along the butterfly's jade-like arm, with only a few of the snake patterns visible outside the skin...

Such a scene exudes a strange allure, tempting one to want to explore further.

"At the bottom of the Nine Netherworlds lies the lair of the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python clan. I have obtained the inheritance of my ancestors, some of whom, though their physical bodies are damaged, still retain their souls..."

I awakened them, and they now reside within my body. With their power, I can now fight even a six-star Dou Sheng.

Despite the man in front of her curiously stroking her arm, Her Majesty the Queen explained softly without changing her expression.

“I see!” Ye Chen nodded.
