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

Dou Qi Continent, Holy Pill City.

The moment Ye Chen returned to this place, he immediately sensed the difference in his surroundings.

It seemed that some kind of shackles that had been placed on him had been completely broken. Now, although he was not a Dou Di, he could easily mobilize the power of heaven and earth around him with every move he made...

Moreover, Ye Chen was finally able to detect the location of the dimensional membrane of the entire Dou Qi Continent. He could tear open the membrane and enter the cosmic void outside the plane simply by thinking about it.

"It seems I was right. Reaching the Earthly Sovereign realm grants the qualification to leave the Dou Qi Continent's plane of existence. However, traversing the void of the universe to reach the Great Thousand Worlds probably won't be an easy task..."

Most importantly, Ye Chen himself did not know the location of the spatial nodes of the Great Thousand Worlds. If he rashly entered the void of the universe, he would easily get lost inside.

This is different from the Great Thousand Gate opened by a Dou Di level, because the latter is formed by the rules of the universe and is a high-speed passage connecting the Great Thousand World and the lower planes... just like the highway in the previous life, even if you don't know the location, you can get there by following the road.

However, there's no rush for now, because there are still many things he needs on the Dou Qi Continent that he hasn't prepared yet, so he won't be in a hurry to leave.

A short while later, the Danta members, having received the news, arrived one after another.

The first to see Ye Chen were naturally Cao Ying and Dan Chen, who were in charge of controlling the Pill Tower. The things Ye Chen had given them were being followed up and handled by the two women.

"How is it? How is it? Have you broken through? Are you a Dou Di?" Of the two women, Cao Ying asked excitedly and curiously as soon as they met. Dan Chen behind her also showed this curious look, but appeared more composed.

Ye Chen looked at the two women with distinctly different styles, a gentle smile appearing on his face. He pulled them to his side and replied with a smile, "You have broken through, but only to the Earthly Sovereign Realm, not the Battle Emperor Realm!"

"Earthly Supreme? Did you really pass on that Dou Di inheritance to the Pure Lotus Demon Flame?" Cao Ying's eyes widened as she asked.

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen laughed heartily: "That's right, what else could I do? After all, with my current strength, there's absolutely no need for me to switch to the Burning Flame Technique and start cultivating from scratch, right? Besides, although obtaining the Dou Di inheritance gives me the opportunity to become a Dou Di, the process isn't something you can just talk about. Putting aside the question of whether I can even break through, just how much time it will take is an unknown..."

Don't assume that Xiao Yan and Hun Tiandi, who obtained two different inheritances in the original work, both broke through to the Dou Di level. Putting aside the issue of probability, the conditions required for these two to break through are a big problem.

Ye Chen had no reason to abandon his own path to success and try to cross some narrow bridge...

Cao Ying listened to Ye Chen's words and said she understood half of them. In her heart, she still felt that breaking through to the Dou Di realm was the ultimate pursuit of everyone on the continent. Even if the path was extremely difficult, as long as there was a chance, she would never give up!

Haven't you noticed that the Dou Qi Continent hasn't produced a Dou Di for ten thousand years? If one could become the only Dou Di after ten thousand years, it's almost as if the entire Dou Qi Continent would be in their hands!

Cao Ying's idea was not wrong, after all, as a native of the Dou Qi Continent, she had never had any impression of anything outside the world.

Even though Ye Chen had briefly explained some things to them, before they actually came into contact with them, everything was still vague and uncertain, and compared to the facts that had existed on the continent since ancient times, it always seemed to fall short.

Seeing the expressions on the two women's faces, Ye Chen smiled gently and then said, "Alright, don't think too much about it now. You'll understand when I take you to the Myriad Fire Continent..."

Only after they have witnessed it with their own eyes will the two women feel truly at ease, so Ye Chen is not in a hurry.

Cao Ying and Dan Chen both nodded upon hearing this, and then felt a little excited inside...

"By the way, the rare birds and beasts that you asked the Pill Tower to collect in conjunction with the Nine Netherworld Python and the Ancient Void Dragon have almost been collected. There are a total of 10,783 kinds, among which the bloodlines are strong and weak, but they are guaranteed to be absolute rare species on the continent!"

After setting aside these perplexing questions, Cao Ying regained her composure and reported to Ye Chen with a faint smile.

"So many?!" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"That's not much..." Cao Ying said playfully, holding up a slender white finger. "Your two confidantes have been working really hard. I heard they not only ventured into the desolate ancient domain to specifically search for powerful magical beasts, but they even forcibly stormed the territory of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and snatched more than ten Heavenly Phoenix eggs from that guy Huang Tian, ​​almost making him furious..."

"No way..." Ye Chen's eyes widened in disbelief.

How could my aloof and proud Queen do something like this—robbery? It's so unbecoming of Her Majesty...

"It must have been Ziyan who instigated this, right?"

Only someone with Zi Yan's lawless personality would do something so outrageous... It seems that in the original story, these two always caused trouble after getting together.

Cao Ying sneered at Ye Chen's words and said with a sneer, "That's not necessarily true... Although that Dragon Emperor is indeed somewhat lawless, Your Majesty the Queen, President Ye, is no pushover either..."

I heard it was this guy who directly beat Huang Tian up, almost turning him into a bald chicken. Otherwise, do you think the Heavenly Demon Phoenix would have been willing to suffer such a huge loss in silence?

Hmm... this... does seem like something that Butterfly would do.

It's just tough on Huang Tian, ​​the clan leader...

"Well, forget it. Anyway, I don't have a good relationship with the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, so I might as well just take it..." Ye Chen simply shrugged and put the matter of the Heavenly Phoenix out of his mind.

"A dozen or so Heavenly Phoenix eggs could be enough to cultivate a divine beast race with phoenix bloodlines on the Dou Qi Continent. And when those phoenix eggs hatch, they can immediately become the clan leader..."

Thinking of this, Ye Chen felt a surge of joy.

"Are there any other powerful bloodlines?"

Cao Ying nodded directly and said, "Yes!"

"Ancient bloodlines like the Sky-Piercing Flood Dragon, the Heavenly Phoenix, the Heavenly Demon Python, and the Nine Netherworld Python; and more common ones like the Bloodwing Flying Tiger, the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast, the Ancient Dragon Bear, and the Howling Moon Wolf King, etc..."

Ye Chen's mind raced. If he could truly cultivate these high-bloodline magical beasts into spirit beasts, the most...

Even the weakest can reach the top 100 of the Ten Thousand Beasts Record Ranking... which is to say, they are celestial beasts in the Great Thousand World.

It's not impossible for magical beasts with ancient bloodlines, such as the Tongtian Jiao, Tianluan, and Tianmomang, to be cultivated into the ranks of divine beasts on the Heavenly Ranking.

"More than ten thousand kinds of magical beasts, that's about enough..." Ye Chen thought to himself.

As for rare flowers and exotic herbs... isn't the Dan Tower itself the power with the most rare and precious items?

Transplanting all those rare medicinal herbs to his own Wanhuo Continent and cultivating them into spiritual plants would be perfect for refining elixirs and holy-grade pills. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?

"Order everyone to return to the Pill Tower immediately and bring back all the rare birds and beasts they possess!"

"Also, have someone inform the elders of the Little Pill Tower that I have something to discuss with them!"

The magical beasts are manageable, but as for the medicinal herbs from the Pill Tower, they don't belong to me alone, so I still need to get the opinions of the Pill Tower elders.

"Okay, I'll have someone arrange it right away!"

Cao Ying was also a decisive person. After hearing Ye Chen's words, she immediately went to send someone to deliver the message.

Only then did Ye Chen's attention turn to Dan Chen, who had been silent from the beginning...

Although both are presidents of the Danta Guild, Dan Chen rarely gets involved in anything. Everything is arranged by Cao Ying. She is more of an observer, and only stands up to support her good sister when someone questions Cao Ying's decisions.

"Come, let me take a good look..." Looking at this girl who was still shy when facing him, Ye Chen's heart softened instantly. He couldn't help but hug her and hold her in front of him to examine her carefully.

Faced with Ye Chen's burning gaze, Dan Chen's pretty face instantly turned red. She couldn't help but struggle slightly in his arms, protesting softly, "What...what's so interesting...don't look..."

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen immediately laughed and let her go.

However, Ye Chen was somewhat surprised when he met Dan Chen this time.

Because he discovered that this girl had actually broken through to the six-star Dou Sheng level... such a breakthrough speed was truly astonishing!

"No wonder Gu Yuan and the others were so distraught when they learned of Su Lingyin's identity as a member of the Devouring Spirit Clan, to the point that they were as wary as the Soul Emperor. It seems that the power of the Devouring Spirit Clan has indeed left a considerable shadow on these people."

Ye Chen was very curious. Surely the people around him who had the best chance of breaking through to Dou Di were not Zi Yan and Cai Die, who were both bloodline supreme beings, but Dan Chen and her daughter?

Unable to contain his curiosity, Ye Chen voiced his question.

Dan Chen was a little embarrassed and said, "It's not entirely because of the Devouring Spirit Clan bloodline. It's because I've been following Senior Shennong to learn alchemy during this time. Senior Shennong also demonstrated how to refine a Grade 9 precious pill for me twice. So, the reason I was able to improve my strength so quickly is mostly due to these pills."

Ye Chen suddenly realized...

I almost forgot that there's a true ninth-grade alchemy grandmaster on my side of the Pill Tower whose alchemy skills are not much inferior to mine!

With Shennong's alchemy skills, teaching Dan Chen, an alchemy master who is not even at the ninth rank, would be more than enough.

It's just a mystery how this old man and Dan Chen took a liking to each other, that he was willing to teach her everything he knew.

With the Devouring Spirit Clan's terrifying devouring ability, if they were to have the help of a ninth-grade pill, breaking through would truly be as easy as eating and drinking.

Although he had been thinking about refining more pills to help Cai Die and Zi Yan with their cultivation, he had never been able to find the time...

"How could I have forgotten about such a free-to-play grandmaster of alchemy!"

Ye Chen slapped his forehead, somewhat annoyed.

Seeing this, Dan Chen could only roll her eyes silently.

How shameless! Shennong is no relative to you, why should he help you refine elixirs?

Of course, it's really not easy to get an alchemist like Shennong to take action, unless it's someone like Dan Chen who is willing to help, in which case no one can stop him.

"Alright, after the meeting ends, please invite Elder Shennong for me. Tell him I have some insights into refining imperial pills that I'd like to discuss with him..."

Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then spoke.

However, his words made Dan Chen sit up straight and stare at the man with her mouth wide open.

"Are you serious? You're not lying to Senior Shennong, are you?" After all, he was a senior who had taught her, and Dan Chen didn't want her man to make such a boastful statement to deceive him.

"What are you thinking about!"

Ye Chen flicked the little girl's forehead, rolled his eyes, and said, "I really did have some things to discuss with him about the Emperor Pill. Even if I hadn't gotten him to help, I would still have invited him. After all, in the entire Dou Qi Continent, besides Elder Shennong, there's no one else qualified to research these things with me..."

If it were before, there would still be those grandmaster alchemists in the Medicine Clan. Moreover, as a race descended from the Medicine Emperor, Ye Chen believed that the Medicine Clan must also have a lot of information about the Emperor Pill.

Unfortunately, with the destruction of the Medicine Clan, these things disappeared into the long river of history.

Hearing Ye Chen confirm again, Dan Chen felt relieved and obediently nodded in agreement.

A moment later, many elders from the Little Pill Tower Elder Council, led by Old Monster Lin and Xuan Kongzi, arrived. Ye Chen didn't waste any time and directly told them that he needed to transplant some rare flowers and herbs.

The Grand Council only discussed it briefly before approving it.

The reason it was so easy was twofold: firstly, Ye Chen's control over the Pill Tower was unprecedented; secondly, although he transplanted many different kinds of plants, the quantity of each kind was small, only a few plants, so this had little impact on the Pill Tower.

Moreover, Ye Chen promised to leave a copy of his alchemy insights in the Little Pill Tower for all the elders of the Great Elder Council to study, which is far more valuable than any amount of medicinal herbs!

The reason Ye Chen chose to do this was probably as a small gift to the Pill Tower.

After all, his growth was inseparable from the protection of the Pill Tower. Although he had a cheat code, his cheat code wasn't the kind that made him invincible from the start. So, if it weren't for the behemoth that was the Pill Tower protecting him during his growth, his path wouldn't have been so easy.

Compared to all of this, what he left behind were just some alchemy tips, which were insignificant to Ye Chen!

Chapter 556 An Inconceivable Attempt

Saint Dan City, in an ordinary little valley.

Three figures sat facing each other, with a silver medicine cauldron standing ten feet tall in front of them.

"Ancestor, are you really sure?" Ye Chen turned to look at the Pill Tower Ancestor, who appeared as a shepherd boy, and asked solemnly. "Although it's a joint effort between Senior Shennong and me, successfully refining a ninth-grade golden pill isn't a 100% guarantee, and besides, the process could very well damage your soul..."

The reason Ye Chen and the other two gathered here was because Ye Chen had discussed with Shennong the Elder some insights he had gained from studying the Emperor-grade embryonic pill.

However, they lacked the confidence to refine an Emperor Pill, so for the time being, they could only set their sights on a Ninth-Rank Golden Pill...

"Hehe, little guys, just go ahead and do whatever you want." An unusually old laugh came from the shepherd boy's small body.

“I know you won’t stay in the Pill Tower for long. If you leave in the future, the Pill Tower absolutely cannot be without the next supreme expert to oversee it. So no matter what the success rate is, I have to give it a try…”

Judging from Ye Chen's current signs, it's not hard to see that he's preparing to leave. Moreover, Ye Chen doesn't seem to be hiding anything. So, the most important thing for the Pill Tower now is to have a powerful figure emerge who can suppress everything before Ye Chen leaves.

And it seems that there is no one else who can be chosen besides the Old Ancestor of the Pill Tower.

Although it was a pill-based body, and was born as a ninth-grade Xuan Dan, it was almost impossible for a pill to improve its grade on its own. Therefore, even after countless years, the Pill Tower Ancestor was still unable to break through that final shackle and advance himself to the ninth-grade Golden Core level...

Fortunately, the Pill Tower now has the two strongest alchemists on the entire continent at the same time, and the Pill Tower's patriarch is preparing to go all out.

"Old man, you really need to think this through. If you're not careful, you could really lose your life!" Shennong, the old man, also advised from the side.

The young face of the old patriarch Danta was filled with an incongruous resolute look, and he stubbornly shook his head in the face of the two people's persuasion.

After exchanging a glance, Ye Chen and the Shennong Elder decided not to try to dissuade them any further and instead prepared to start the furnace together...

To be honest, this attempt was a very valuable experience for both Ye Chen and Shennong, so neither of them wanted to fail.

"Young friend Ye, I'll leave the matter of the main furnace to you..." Shennong Elder said solemnly to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded, naturally not refusing.

With a flick of his finger, Ye Chen sent two flames, one white and one purple, into the Star Cauldron.

This was the first time Ye Chen had used two different flames simultaneously to refine medicine. He needed to rely on the powerful temperature and energy of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, combined with the extraordinary restorative ability of the Three Thousand Blazing Flames, to ensure that the Pill Tower Ancestor wouldn't be burned to death...

In addition, Shennong would also use his Flame of Life to provide sufficient life support.

Ye Chen turned to look at the Pill Tower Ancestor and nodded to him, "That's enough, Ancestor. Remember, guard your mind and spirit. As long as you have a single thought, you will not perish!"

The old patriarch of the Pill Tower nodded slightly, then leaped into the Star Cauldron.

winter!

As the medicine cauldron was covered, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame and the Three Thousand Blazing Flames inside the cauldron instantly erupted, directly enveloping the figure of the Pill Tower Ancestor who had entered the medicine cauldron.

Ye Chen closed his eyes, and then a small golden figure suddenly jumped out of his body, hovering in mid-air. Its hands moved quickly, and it easily controlled the two strange flames in the medicine cauldron.

The old man Shennong, who was watching this scene, was shocked. He wondered what the little golden figure was. Could it be Ye Chen's soul clone?

Of course, what Shennong didn't know was that this little person was much stronger than a simple soul clone, because it was a divine soul that had condensed into a physical form!

"Senior Shennong, make your move!"
