I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

the other side.

Just as Ye An was being overwhelmed by endless evil spirits, outside the Dragon Pool, two disheveled girls huddled together, still shaken.

Lin Chanyi was among them.

She kept glancing towards the direction of Chenlongtan, her beautiful face filled with worry.

"Chanyi, stop looking, let's go quickly, it's too dangerous here," a companion urged in a low voice.

Lin Chanyi shook her head and said stubbornly, "Let's wait a little longer. I want to see if our benefactor will come out."

No sooner had they finished speaking than a figure appeared in front of them without warning.

The newcomer was a young man in his early twenties, dressed in a well-fitting training uniform, with a handsome face, but his brows showed a hint of anxiety.

Upon seeing Lin Chanyi, he first breathed a sigh of relief, then his face hardened.

"Lin Chanyi, you're running around again!"

Lin Chanyi's eyes lit up when she saw the person who had arrived, and she quickly ran over: "Senior Brother Da Chen!"

The young man lightly tapped her on the head, his tone softening, "How many times have I told you not to come to this desolate wilderness alone? What if something happens?"

"I'm fine..." Lin Chanyi stuck out her tongue, hugged his arm and whispered, "Besides, we met a very powerful person, and he saved us."

The chubby girl next to her chimed in.

"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Chen, we were surrounded by a lot of bad guys, but that great hero just pointed a finger from a distance and blew their heads off!"

"Yes! They were all dead from a great distance!"

Upon hearing this, the young man, referred to as Senior Brother Chen, raised an eyebrow slightly.

Injuring someone from a distance?

The word "Master of Transformation" immediately popped into his mind.

I never expected to encounter a master in a place like this. Isn't that strange?

He looked at Lin Chanyi, his expression turning serious: "Chanyi, remember this: there's no such thing as a free lunch. Why would a Grandmaster of Internal Energy happen to be here to save you? Did he do anything to you? Did he ask you anything?"

What Senior Brother Chen was thinking was that every move a master of this level made had profound meaning.

If someone suddenly shows kindness to their naive junior sister, they are most likely up to no good.

They were either attracted to the junior sister's beauty, or they came for the Medicine King Valley behind her.

"No, he's a very nice person!" Lin Chanyi hurriedly defended herself. "He even gave it to both of us, and I didn't even have a chance to thank him!"

As she spoke, she tried to pull Chen's arm and walk back.

"Senior Brother, shall we go back and find him? I want to thank him in person."

"Nonsense!" Senior Brother Chen grabbed her arm. "What kind of place is Xunlong Mountain? It's extremely dangerous. Come back with me right now!"

Seeing that Lin Chanyi still looked reluctant and kept glancing in that direction, Senior Brother Chen snorted inwardly.

Could this girl have fallen for someone?

He said, "After you go back, spend two weeks in solitary confinement to learn your lesson."

But he was secretly making plans in his heart.

A Grandmaster of Internal Energy?

It sounds impressive, but in his opinion, it's really not enough.

If you want to make a move on my junior sister from Medicine King Valley, brute force alone won't do.

Senior Brother Chen thought to himself, "If you want to marry my junior sister, your status as a mere Transformation Realm martial artist is not enough."

"Judging by background, there must be at least a general in the family, or a powerful official at the ministerial level, right? Otherwise, how could they protect her?"

"In terms of ability, you either need to join the army and rise to the rank of colonel within a few years, or you need to rely on your true skills to defeat all of our senior brothers from Medicine King Valley. Only then can you barely be considered to have any ability."

He glanced at the precious person beside him, who was cherished by the entire Medicine King Valley, and sneered inwardly.

Is the future successor of the Medicine King Valley's alchemy lineage someone that just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could covet?

……

……

Master Sun's distorted face was still laughing wildly in mid-air, his voice full of malicious pleasure.

Master Guan's face was as white as a sheet of paper. Faced with the countless evil spirits surging in like a black tide, he didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

The resentment was so intense that even just being washed away by its aura felt like his soul was about to be frozen.

It’s over.

That was the only thought in his mind.

Just then, Ye An, who had been standing in front of him, finally moved.

He didn't make any hand seals, chant any spells, or even change his posture; he simply raised his eyelids slightly.

"It's so noisy."

He uttered three words calmly.

In an instant, a terrifying divine consciousness, invisible and intangible yet seemingly capable of suppressing all things in heaven and earth, burst forth from his center!

The overwhelming, menacing black tide of souls suddenly stopped three feet away from the two of them.

All the ghosts, no matter how ferocious their faces or how crazy their movements, froze in mid-air at this moment, as if time had been paused.

The contortion and resentment on their faces had not yet faded, but a hint of fear from the depths of their souls surfaced in their eyes.

In mid-air, Master Sun's wildly laughing face froze.

"What...what is this...?"

He hadn't finished speaking.

"puff."

A soft sound.

Like a popped soap bubble, the ghost at the very front silently turned into a wisp of black smoke and vanished.

Then came the second, the third...

Hundreds and thousands of spirits vanished without a sound, one after another, in swathes of them.

The whole process was eerily quiet.

In less than three breaths, the terrifying soul tide that was enough to shatter the souls of any cultivator below the Foundation Establishment stage vanished completely, as if it had never existed.

"Now that we've found the location of the Heavenly Fiend Sect, there's no need to keep you here any longer." Ye An activated his true essence.

Instantly, even the venomous ghost face of Master Sun in mid-air turned to ashes.

"Waaah—"

The demon head statue on the bronze door let out a mournful cry, and the two scarlet lights in its eyes went out, becoming dim and lifeless.

Master Guan stared wide-eyed at the empty passageway before him, then glanced at Ye An beside him, whose expression remained unchanged. His mind was completely blank.

He had absolutely no idea what had just happened.

That's a soul tide formation from an evil sect!

That's it...gone?

What exactly is Master Ye's cultivation level?

Watching Ye An's retreating figure, Master Guan's heart was in turmoil, and he could not calm down for a long time.

That move he just made completely exceeded his understanding of the "innate" realm.

Generally speaking, such profound formations cannot be broken by divine sense alone; one must accurately locate the formation's core in order to escape.

And Ye An actually did it!

He certainly wouldn't know that Ye An relied on the "Dharma Eye" cultivated from the first level of the "Minor Divine Evolution Technique," which could see through illusions and point directly to the core.

Ignoring Master Guan's shock, Ye An walked straight to the tightly closed bronze door and looked up at it.

He reached out and rummaged inside the ghost's mouth, pulling out a fist-sized black sphere.

The sphere was cold to the touch and covered with densely packed runes; it was the core of the Myriad Souls Array.

"It's a pretty good magical artifact; it can nourish the soul."

Ye An casually played with it for a moment before storing it in his jade pendant space.

Then he turned and left.

"Master Ye, this door..." Master Guan asked subconsciously.

"Don't worry about it, there's nothing good coming up." Ye An's tone was very calm.

The restrictions behind this door are even stronger than the soul array from before; it should be the true core forbidden area of ​​the Heavenly Fiend Sect.

But he had already achieved his goal, so there was no need to create any further complications.

Master Guan paused for a moment, then followed with a wry smile.

Indeed, even the cultivation techniques in the Sutra Repository were scattered by Master Ye with a single palm strike, so the remaining things of the Heavenly Fiend Sect probably wouldn't be of any interest to him.

The two returned the way they came and left the ruins of the Heavenly Fiend Sect without any major incident.

It was completely dark outside the mountains, with a bright moon and few stars.

The two did not linger and drove back to Jiangcheng City overnight.

……

It was already late at night when the Mercedes-Benz slowly drove into Villa No. 1 of Longquan Mingdi.

As the car headlights swept across, Zhao Wuji, Qian Duoduo, and Li Gui stood ramrod straight at the entrance of the villa, like three javelins.

Ye An got out of the car, glanced at the car, and a smile appeared on his lips.

The three men's auras were much calmer than when they left, and there was a faint energy flowing within their bodies that was different from internal strength.

Clearly, they have all broken through.

"Master Ye".

Upon seeing Ye An, the three bowed in unison, their expressions filled with excitement.

"You've all broken through, not bad." Ye An nodded, which was a compliment.

Zhao Wuji stepped forward and respectfully reported, "We have successfully advanced to the Transformation Realm yesterday, as we have accomplished our mission."

He was filled with mixed emotions.

Having been stuck at the peak of internal strength for more than ten years, he never expected that Master Ye would just give him a few casual pointers and a pill, which would allow him to so easily overcome that insurmountable barrier.

Master Ye's methods are simply divine.

"Okay, you guys go back and rest first. I still have things to do." Ye An waved his hand, dismissing the three of them.

Although Zhao Wuji and his two companions were curious, they dared not ask any further questions. After bowing once more, they quickly left.

Only Ye An and Master Guan remained in front of the huge villa.

"Master Guan, I'll have to trouble you for a bit and help me out from here," Ye An said as he walked into the villa.

Master Guan quickly followed, saying, "Master Ye, please give your instructions."

Ye An didn't go to the living room, but instead led Master Guan directly into the villa's basement.

"The spirit-gathering array I set up before was too crude; it could only be considered a barely basic entry-level formation."

As Ye An spoke, he took things out of the jade pendant space.

"To establish a true blessed land, one needs to use magical artifacts as a foundation, draw upon the earth's spiritual energy, and set up a higher-level array."

He took out one magical artifact after another from the treasure vault of the Heavenly Fiend Sect and placed them on the ground.

There were bronze mirrors, jade rulers, array plates, and several simple-looking short swords.

As soon as these magical artifacts appeared, the air in the entire basement became heavy, and waves of pure spiritual energy spread out.

Master Guan's eyelids twitched as he looked at these items. Any one of them could cause a bloodbath in the martial arts world.

But in Master Ye's hands, they were like free cabbages.

"Beneath this villa, there is a small underground river, rich in spiritual energy. What I need to set up is a spirit-attracting array, a spirit-gathering array, and a protective array."

Ye An's voice echoed in the empty basement.

"The Spirit-Attracting Array is responsible for drawing up the water elemental energy from the ground, the Spirit-Gathering Array is responsible for locking the spiritual energy within the villa's area, and the Protective Array uses this spiritual energy as its energy source, which is sufficient to withstand any attack from those below the level of a Xiantian master."

"Three formations combined into one, killing many birds with one stone."

Master Guan was mesmerized. This was no longer within the realm of martial arts; it was a legendary technique from the immortals!

"Place these ritual implements in the designated locations as I instruct."

Ye An began to direct Master Guan.

The two of them worked for nearly an hour to place dozens of magical artifacts in various corners of the basement according to some mysterious orientation.

After doing all this, Ye An walked to the very center of the quiet room and sat down cross-legged.

In front of him floated several water-based short swords obtained from the Heavenly Fiend Sect.

These magical artifacts are the core of the entire formation.

Ye An closed his eyes, and his aura became long and deep.

His lips moved slightly, and one ancient and desolate syllable after another came out of his mouth.

Each syllable transformed into a visible golden rune in the air, which then slowly and precisely imprinted itself onto the floating short swords.

As more and more golden runes were imprinted, the blade of the short sword began to emit a dazzling green light, the light flowing as if it were alive.

Master Guan stood aside, holding his breath, afraid of disturbing Ye An.

After an unknown amount of time, when the last rune was imprinted on the sword, Ye An suddenly opened his eyes.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Duh!"

A soft shout!

He opened his mouth, and a stream of pure white energy, as solid as a white ribbon, shot out from his mouth, hitting the short sword that was suspended in the very center!

"Buzz—"

The puff of white smoke struck the short sword, producing a long, drawn-out sword hum.

The sound wasn't loud, but it seemed to resonate directly in Master Guan's mind.

The short sword, suspended in mid-air, suddenly lit up with green light, and then, following some unseen trajectory, instantly flowed throughout the entire basement.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

A series of crisp sounds rang out one after another.

The bronze mirrors, jade rulers, array plates, and other magical artifacts placed in various corners seemed to have been switched on one by one, each emitting a light that was either strong or weak.

The rays of light connected with each other, outlining an extremely complex array on the ground and walls.

Master Guan felt an indescribable pressure coming from all directions, making it difficult for him to breathe.

But this feeling only lasted for a brief moment.

The next second, he felt the air in the entire basement change.

It becomes refreshing, pure; taking a breath feels like a cleansing of the entire body. The hidden injuries from years of martial arts training seem to be soothed away in that instant.

He stared blankly at everything, his mind blank.

Is this the work of the immortals?

By activating the earth's veins and setting up formations, an ordinary place can be transformed into a blessed land.
