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

Page 187

"Let's set off and annihilate the Heavenly Nether Sect!"

The combined forces of the Flower Sect and the Pill Tower surged towards the Heavenly Nether Sect.

Such a commotion was naturally unlike the previous battle of the Flower Sect, which alarmed the entire Central Continent.

Just when everyone thought there would be a protracted war between the two sides, the Flower Sect crushed the Heavenly Nether Sect with overwhelming force...

As for the many powerful figures from the Heavenly Nether Sect that everyone imagined, they did not show up until the end of the battle.

Only then did Zhongzhou realize that the two sides had already engaged in a major battle, and that the experts of the Tianming Sect had been completely wiped out...

As a result, the Tianming Sect, one of the two major sects that had dominated the Central Plains for hundreds of years, was actually destroyed!

This news spread like wildfire, quickly sweeping across the entire Central Plains in a short period of time!

Chapter 437 The Grand Elders' Questioning

The news that the Tianming Sect had been destroyed by the Hua Sect shocked everyone.

After all, compared to the latter, the former was far superior in both strength and reputation in Zhongzhou. Many people thought the disappearance might be a misreport, and that the Heavenly Nether Sect had actually destroyed the Flower Sect?

But once it was learned that the new president of the Danta was involved, everything made sense.

After all, since the new president took over, the Danta's style of doing things has gradually changed, from being stable and conservative to being ambitious and enterprising...

But that makes sense.

Young people are naturally different from those old men who have lived for hundreds of years.

This change in the Kodan Tower caused a sense of unease among most of the forces in the Central Continent. Everyone was worried that this behemoth might one day turn its attention to them and swallow them up like the Tianming Sect had done!

"This is outrageous! Such a big matter was not even reported to the Grand Elder Council. It's simply outrageous!"

Inside the Little Pill Tower, for once, several elders were gathered in the Elder Hall.

The reason they were here was to discuss Ye Chen's actions over the past few days...

“Hehe, Fifth Elder, that’s not right. After all, Ye Chen is now the president of the Pill Tower. He doesn’t need to report every little thing to the Grand Elder’s Council, does he? What kind of president would he be then…” Xuan Kongzi felt that his disciple’s actions were a bit too radical, but he still tried his best to defend him.

Although strictly speaking, Xuan Kongzi is only a newly promoted elder, he has served as the president of the Pill Tower for over a hundred years and also holds the position of elder. In addition, with his strength and alchemist level, Xuan Kongzi's current status in the Grand Elder Council is subtly higher than that of the Fifth Elder...

This is the benefit of having strength.

"Hmph! A trivial matter? You call the destruction of a top power in Zhongzhou a trivial matter?" Beside the Fifth Elder, an old man who was also thin and looked like he was on his deathbed sneered and interjected.

Xuan Kongzi was also having a headache. After all, the other side had a lot of people. Apart from the second, third, and fourth elders not being present and the first elder not easily expressing his opinion, the remaining fifth, sixth, and seventh elders were all those old-fashioned and conservative people...

At this moment, even Xuan Kongzi was finding it difficult to fight three opponents at once.

"Sixth Elder, I heard that it was the Flower Sect that destroyed the Heavenly Nether Sect, and Ye Chen only helped out of past friendship by accepting the invitation. Don't get the priorities mixed up!"

"Ha! We both know the truth. With the strength of the Flower Sect, how could they possibly destroy the Heavenly Nether Sect?" The Fifth Elder sneered.

He then immediately turned his gaze to the Grand Elder and said in a deep voice, "Grand Elder, we must not allow Ye Chen to act recklessly in this matter, otherwise it will be a huge blow to the reputation of our Pill Tower. It may even change the image of fairness that our Pill Tower has always maintained..."

"We must immediately recall Ye Chen and hold him accountable!"

As soon as the last sentence was uttered, Xuan Kongzi's face immediately showed displeasure.

Accountability? What gives you the right to hold the Pill Tower President accountable? You should know that, strictly speaking, Ye Chen is not only the Pill Tower President, but also a member of the Grand Elder Council, with more power than an ordinary elder.

However, before Xuan Kongzi could speak again, the Grand Elder at the head of the table spoke up.

"Alright, you two stop arguing. Let's talk about the details when Ye Chen gets back..."

Once the Grand Elder spoke, the outcome of the meeting was decided.

However, Xuan Kongzi's expression was somewhat unpleasant, knowing that his disciple's actions did indeed violate the Pill Tower's long-standing principles, which troubled the Grand Elder.

I don't like it anymore.

……

……

By the time Ye Chen received the message that he was to go to the Little Pill Tower, it was already time for him to return to the Pill Tower.

Ye Chen had anticipated this, so he simply gave a brief explanation and headed directly to the Small Pill Tower space.

Inside the Elder Hall, everyone from the Grand Elder Council had gathered, including the second, third, and fourth elders.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow upon seeing this...

This really does sound a bit like a joint trial.

However, apart from the three old men who looked at him with obvious displeasure, the remaining elders either nodded in greeting or remained calm and composed when faced with his gaze. Clearly, the situation was not as bad as he had imagined.

"Greetings, Grand Elder, and all Elders!"

After a brief greeting, Ye Chen sat down in his seat.

Upon seeing him take his seat, the elder presiding over the meeting immediately said, "Alright, now that everyone is here, let's begin..."

"President Ye Chen, please explain the matter of the Heavenly Nether Sect to the elders present. After all, we old folks are holed up in this little pill tower, and we don't know much about the outside world."

Ye Chen nodded directly and said, "Okay."

"Actually, the matter is quite simple. It started when the current sect leader of the Flower Sect came to my Ye family for help. The two of them, master and disciple, are friends with my sister, so naturally my Ye family couldn't stand idly by. Then things got more serious, and even the two Supreme Elders of the Flower Sect, Fairy Qinghua, got involved, so I went there in person..."

"Is it really that simple? I doubt it... Then how do you explain the rumors circulating in Central Continent that my Pill Tower destroyed the Heavenly Nether Sect?"

Ye Chen looked up and saw that the speaker was none other than the Fifth Elder, the rotating elder he had met before. He inwardly curled his lip and said, "How would I know..."

"I only did Hua Zong a small favor..."

"Hmph! A small favor? What about when you mobilized your forces to join forces with the Flower Sect in the end?"

"How do you think we should put it? Those people are from the Ye, Dan, and Cao families. I gathered them myself. What does it have to do with the Pill Tower?"

"you……!"

Well, that was indeed a bit of sophistry, and it really infuriated the Fifth Elder.

Beside him, Xuan Kongzi looked at his disciple speechlessly, but he quickly hid the smile that inadvertently appeared on his lips.

There's no way around it, being young has its advantages. If it were him, Xuan Kongzi certainly wouldn't say that.

Isn't this just being a scoundrel?

Seeing this, the Grand Elder at the head of the table also showed a look of helplessness in his eyes and had no choice but to speak up: "Alright, you two, stop arguing. What kind of behavior is this in the main hall!"

Everyone remained silent, waiting for the Grand Elder's decision.

After a moment's hesitation, the Grand Elder finally spoke, "What Ye Chen said makes sense. However, I still want to remind you that as the president of the Pill Tower, you should be mindful of the consequences of your actions."

After all, while our Dan Tower is powerful, it is precisely because of this that we are constantly under scrutiny. Every move we make could affect the stability of the entire Central Continent, so we must proceed with caution.

"Alright, let's leave it at that. However, Ye Chen, please stay behind after the meeting. I have something to discuss with you..."

Chapter 438 One Year

No one knows exactly what the Grand Elder and Ye Chen said.

However, when the long-lost butterfly reappeared, Ye Chen took her to the Small Pill Tower, and then the Grand Elder began to openly support Ye Chen.

The Fifth Elder and the others were naturally furious about this, but under the suppression of the First Elder, they could only hide in their own herb garden and sulk.

The reason for this is actually quite simple.

That was because Ye Chen had Cai Die, who had returned to the Northwest Continent, tell the Grand Elder about what she had seen and heard there...

Very few people in the Central Continent knew that the Soul Hall had instigated a massive war in every remote part of the continent. Or rather, even if they did know, no one would care…

Such a large-scale operation clearly indicates that the Soul Palace is plotting something. Whatever the plot may be, the Pill Tower now needs to take action.

Increasing one's control over Zhongzhou and enhancing one's own power is a good way to protect oneself.

This is also an important reason for the change in the Grand Elder's attitude.

In the following period, because the Pill Tower needed to digest what it had gained and also to eliminate the impact of the destruction of the Heavenly Nether Sect, Ye Chen chose to lie low for the time being.

Meanwhile, the Soul Palace was busy conquering all directions and had not focused its energy on the Central Plains, which allowed the Central Plains to become quiet again for once.

During this time, Ye Chen also lived a very comfortable life...

Externally, due to the conditions promised by Ye Chen, and with the living advertisement of Ancestor Xiankong, many powerful figures in Zhongzhou chose to join the Pill Tower Offering Group.

In an instant, the previously quiet offering group became lively.

In terms of Dou Zun level alone, there are five nine-star Dou Zun, one third-rank Dou Zun, one sixth-rank Dou Zun, and even one peak ninth-rank Dou Zun...

As for half-saints, there aren't many. Apart from the Void Ancestor, there is only one Nine Profound Saint at the initial half-saint level.

Of course, besides these people, Qinghua Fairy and the other two were also invited by Ye Chen to join the offering group. For this, Ye Chen even refined a ninth-grade pill for them.

However, this ninth-grade pill was not made by the two of them for themselves, but for Yun Yun, the new sect leader of the Flower Sect...

With the aid of this elixir, Yun Yun refined 70% of the battle qi in her body in just three months, and her strength increased to the nine-star Dou Zun level, which was enough to barely support the entire sect.

As for internal affairs, Ye Chen finally managed to win over the proud Queen. If Ye Chen hadn't reminded her to return to the Northwest Continent to take care of her people beforehand, the Snake-People race might have been wiped out in the recent turmoil in the Northwest Continent.

Upon returning to the Northwest Continent, they encountered the Lion-Dark Sect, backed by the Soul Hall, overwhelming the Gama Empire, the Izumo Empire, and other nations. Some powerful figures had even entered the desert to cause trouble for the Snake-People...

Enraged, Cai Die slaughtered the powerful figures of these forces, even drawing out the Soul Palace Heavenly Venerable behind them. After Cai Die also eliminated him, the countries in the Northwest Continent finally had a chance to catch their breath.

Following Ye Chen's suggestion, Cai Die moved the entire snake-people race to a remote area in the Black Corner Region.

Thanks to Ye Chen's prior planning, most of the forces in the Black Corner Region have now been subdued by the Ye family. To this end, Ye Chen not only sent the three Yao brothers, who had reached the level of Seven-Star Dou Zong, back there, but also had two powerful Dou Zun, the Black and White Twin Bears, overseeing the region...

It can be said that the Serpent People are absolutely safe in the Black Corner Region.

And all of this finally made Her Majesty the proud Queen put down that damned pride.

Finally, she willingly surrendered herself, allowing Ye Chen to fully enjoy the allure of the snake woman...

Of course, Ye Chen didn't intend to hide this. After all, he was just a scumbag, not a time management master, and couldn't possibly juggle several women without being exposed. So his approach was more straightforward.

However, the consequence of doing so was that Cao Ying, who had previously been quite obedient to him, suddenly snapped and went into seclusion in the Little Pill Tower with her teacher.

As for Dan Chen, she was also heartbroken for a long time, which almost caused her mother-in-law, Su Lingyin, to personally come and challenge Ye Chen to a duel...

Of course, given Dan Chen's personality, she didn't dwell on this matter for too long and was easily appeased by Ye Chen's sweet words.

As for Cao Ying, that difficult vixen, we'll have to deal with her later...

For the next period of time, everyone returned to normal time.

Ye Chen didn't completely succumb to the allure of romance; he also diligently cultivated and accumulated star essence. He spent the remaining time instructing Dan Chen in alchemy and helping her cultivate battle qi.

Before we knew it, a year had passed.

The impact of the destruction of the Tianming Sect has completely disappeared, and everyone's cultivation has made great progress.

Opening his Star Essence Chart, Ye Chen saw that he had accumulated over 20,000 Star Essence points...

With so much star essence, Ye Chen could light up all the star palaces in all the star fields beneath him!

Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen felt a little excited.

The moment has finally arrived; my cheat system is about to reach its peak!

Without hesitation, we immediately started lighting it up!
