Chapter 768 - 767: The Duel Challenge!
Chapter 768 - 767: The Duel Challenge!
At a time when the world outside was changing dramatically.
Ye Qingchen was diligently cultivating inside White Bone Ridge. Since he slew Lu Yishan several months ago, he had begun his formal training.
The Three-headed Demon Dragon, with its millennium lifespan, contained immensely vast Qi Blood, especially when catalyzed by Heavenly and Earthly Treasures like Golden Jade Bodhi and Creation Lotus Seed. Even Ye Qingchen couldn’t absorb all of its potent medicinal power in a short time.
If anyone were to step into White Bone Ridge at this time, they would surely be stunned by the scene.
The lifeless, almost barren White Bone Ridge had transformed into a colossal, primitive forest. Everywhere, towering trees of several dozen, even a hundred zhang tall, were flourishing.
The power within the dan medicine was overwhelmingly abundant; even a trace of it could turn this desolate land into a vibrant paradise.
At this moment.
It was the eighty-third day of Ye Qingchen’s cultivation.
Zheng Jiuling and Zhao Dejin were crouched outside White Bone Ridge, cultivating. To them, even a mere leak of Spiritual Qi here was immeasurably better than the previous scarcity in the Valley of Life and Death, making them feel as if they were soaking in a hot spring.
"Finally, back to my peak cultivation!"
Zheng Jiuling slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a breath of turbid air.
He no longer had the previous sleazy aura; instead, there was an added trace of ethereal immortality, giving a sense of divine presence.
"Old Zheng, Mr. Ye has been sitting there for over twenty days. Is everything alright?" Zhao Dejin, beside him, asked worriedly, glancing inside the ridge, "Is this dan medicine really that hard to refine?"
"No need to worry, what kind of person is Mr. Ye? Besides, it’s a dan medicine he crafted himself, how could it be wrong?" Zheng Jiuling said confidently.
Just as he finished speaking.
They saw.
Ye Qingchen, who had sat silently for eighty-three days, suddenly moved. He opened his mouth wide, exhaling a breath of air, and a dragon-like aura surged forth.
"Boom!"
Almost simultaneously.
A clap of thunder sounded fiercely within his body. In an instant, his body size surged over twice larger.
Soon after, every bone, joint, and muscle of his vibrated madly as if something was about to break out from his body!
Boom!
At the same time.
A vast aura surged from Ye Qingchen, instantly filling the entire White Bone Ridge. In front of this aura, even someone like Zheng Jiuling couldn’t withstand it and retreated repeatedly.
"He broke through! This is Human Immortal Third Layer!" Zheng Jiuling’s face beamed with joy.
Even though.
At the time the dan medicine was completed, Ye Qingchen was only a step away from Human Immortal Third Layer. But in the Valley of Life and Death, where maintaining the Cultivation Realm was extremely difficult, even a slight advance felt impossible, let alone a breakthrough!
However, this was just the beginning.
Soon, an even more astonishing event occurred!
"Boom!"
Reaching Human Immortal Third Layer, Ye Qingchen didn’t stop; his aura continued to grow, advancing toward the next realm even faster than before.
"Is Mr. Ye planning to improve by two layers in one go?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Even at Human Immortal Second Layer previously, Ye Qingchen’s power exceeded normal imagination. Now, if he breaks through two layers consecutively, imagine the terror when he emerges.
"Boom!"
Indeed.
As everyone felt aghast, an even more terrifying aura erupted from Ye Qingchen!
Human Immortal Fourth Layer!
Yet it wasn’t the end.
Whish!
After attaining Human Immortal Fourth Layer, Ye Qingchen’s aura showed no restraint, continuing toward the next realm.
"Is Mr. Ye determined to advance directly to Human Immortal Fifth Layer?"
No one dared to conceive such an idea.
One day!
Two days!
Three days!
...
Until the seventh day.
The aura of Ye Qingchen, already exalted to the extreme, exploded once again. The overwhelming force seemed to pierce through the heavens, as if blasting through the Valley of Life and Death.
"It’s finally going to break through!"
Zheng Jiuling and others exclaimed in shock.
Boom!
Amidst unbelievable gazes, this heaven-shocking, terrifying aura surged drastically, advancing clearly like stepping onto a new stage, directly into Human Immortal Fifth Layer!
"A breakthrough of three layers in one go!"
Everyone was stunned.
And then.
Ye Qingchen’s aura completely retracted. Zheng Jiuling and the others hurried into White Bone Ridge to find Ye Qingchen seated there, slowly opening his eyes.
He sat there, devoid of any aura, resembling an ordinary person.
Yet no one dared show any disrespect.
"Mr. Ye!"
Zheng Jiuling rushed forward to bow reverently.
"How long was I in seclusion?" Ye Qingchen asked casually.
"A full three months!" Zheng Jiuling answered respectfully, casting a doubtful look at Ye Qingchen, finally choosing to inquire carefully, "Mr. Ye, have you truly reached Human Immortal Fifth Layer?"
"It’s been that long!"
Ye Qingchen murmured.
Originally.
He thought a month would suffice to pierce through the Valley of Life and Death and leave. But unexpectedly, three months had passed. Sighing, upon hearing Zheng Jiuling’s words, Ye Qingchen nodded:
"Yes!"
Under Zheng Jiuling and others’ astonished gazes, Ye Qingchen spoke indifferently:
"The Spiritual Qi of the Valley of Life and Death is excessively scarce. Forced me to constantly accumulate power internally, driving Qi Blood, only after exhausting the dan medicine’s power."
"Otherwise, seven days ago, I would have reached Human Immortal Fifth Layer directly!"
Zheng Jiuling and the others, upon hearing this, were even more shocked, simultaneously growing more reverent of Ye Qingchen.
However.
Ye Qingchen ignored Zheng Jiuling and others’ thoughts and casually asked:
"Did anything happen outside while I was in seclusion?"
"Mr. Ye, after you killed Lu Yishan, Han Buxiu declared war on you." Zheng Jiuling hesitated for a moment before honestly reporting, "He said, as long as Han Buxiu remains, you shouldn’t hope to leave the Valley of Life and Death alive!"
"Is that so?"
Ye Qingchen heard this, gradually narrowing his eyes. He hadn’t expected Han Buxiu to issue a challenge before he could.
"Good!"
"Let’s see what qualifications Han Buxiu has to dare make such statements!"
Boom!
As Ye Qingchen emerged.
An explosive message spread from White Bone Ridge, swiftly sweeping across the Valley of Life and Death.
"In seven days!"
"He will challenge Han Buxiu at Life and Death Lake!"
For a moment.
The originally bustling Valley of Life and Death became frantically tumultuous.
