Ye Xingchen's cultivation had reached the fifth level of Middle Celestial Realm. He had also refined the Nirvana Flame and formed the Yin Yang Runes. He had also melted the Ancient Azure Heavenly Wood and formed the Azure Heavenly Sword. His strength had reached an extremely high level.
Ordinary Greater Celestial Realm martial artists were no match for him.
Although the Blood Demon Body had undergone a transformation and its strength had increased by a lot, to the point where it could stand shoulder to shoulder with a Greater Celestial Realm martial artists, it was like throwing an egg against a rock.
However, the potential of the Blood Demon Body was limitless. As long as he had enough blood and bloodline, he would be able to grow quickly.
The Blood Demon Tree had originally promised to be given to Dark. However, after Dark had escaped, the painting had absorbed 99% of its cultivation. In order to recover his strength, he had returned the Blood Demon Tree to Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen took out the Blood Demon Tree from the painting. However, he didn't give it to Dark. Instead, he opened up a secret underground chamber in the depths of the palace and placed the Blood Demon Tree in the blood pool to nurture it.
As expected, the Blood Demon Tree didn't disappoint him and successfully transformed into the Blood Demon Body.
In order to prevent the Blood Demon Body from rebelling, he had left a mark in the core of the Blood Demon Body's soul.
"Yes." Blood Spirit Child lowered his head unwillingly and said respectfully.
Looking at Ye Xingchen, Blood Spirit Child's eyes were filled with greed. Based on his intuition, he felt that if he devoured the person in front of him, his strength would definitely increase explosively.
However, he knew that the person in front of him was extremely strong. Moreover, the mark had been left in his soul. With a single thought, his soul could be destroyed.
He could only swallow the greed and bloodlust deep in his heart and obediently obey this person.
Ye Xingchen brought Blood Spirit Child out of the palace and told him that without his permission, he wasn't allowed to devour the blood and bloodline of others.
After leaving the palace, Ye Xingchen met Prime Minister Wang Shanpu.
"Your Majesty, a guest from the Great Qin Dynasty in the Xuanyu territory wishes to see you." Wang Shanpu said.
Although there were no guards in the depths of the palace, there were guards on the road leading to the depths of the palace. In Everlasting Dynasty, there were only a few people who had the right to enter the depths of the palace. Prime Minister Wang Shanpu was one of them.
"Great Qin Empire?" A hint of interest appeared in Ye Xingchen's eyes.
"Your Majesty, this is?"
Wang Shanpu looked at Master Blood Spirit, who was standing next to Ye Xingchen. He could sense that this person was exuding an extremely evil aura. His body contained madness, bloodlust, and other negative emotions. He was an extremely dangerous person.
"A subordinate." Ye Xingchen didn't elaborate further.
Wang Shanpu didn't pursue the matter. However, when he returned, he would remind the other officials to be careful of Master Blood Spirit.
"Let's go and meet the guests from the Great Qin Dynasty," said Ye Xingchen with a smile.
Wang Shanpu led the way and arrived at the guest hall in the palace.
In the guest hall, Qin Yuerou and Qin Zhen were waiting quietly.
After waiting for an hour, Qin Zhen became slightly impatient and said, "A mere mid-level empire actually made us wait for so long."
Qin Yuerou said calmly, "Qin Zhen, your temperament is too impatient. That's why you couldn't successfully cultivate the Nine Dragons Mysterious Technique. Otherwise, you would have long surpassed Little Marquis Zhen Tian."
When Qin Zhen heard this, he immediately sat down.
Ye Xingchen walked into the hall and saw Qin Zhen and Qin Yuerou.
He glanced at the two of them and had a rough idea of who they were.
These two people were indeed from the Great Qin Empire. Their cultivations were tyrannical and were no weaker than Little Marquis Zhen Tian's. This was especially true for the woman. There was a strange energy hidden in her body and she was very dangerous.
"You're the ruler of the Daheng dynasty?
Your cultivation isn't much?
I can crush you to death with one hand. "Qin Zhen sized up Ye Xingchen. When he sensed Ye Xingchen's cultivation, a hint of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Please forgive me, King of Heng." Qin Yuerou suddenly said sternly, "Hurry up and apologize to King of Heng."
Under Qin Yuerou's gaze, Qin Zhen unwillingly lowered his head and apologized.
"May I know why the two of you wanted to see me?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Cooperation."
As Qin Yuerou spoke, she sized up Ye Xingchen. She discovered that he had an outstanding temperament and a trace of a noble aura. In front of her, he didn't feel inferior at all. In fact, he seemed superior.
"I'm sure King of Heng knows that the Great Void Paradise will open soon. There are many dangers in the Great Void Paradise. We want to form an alliance with you so that we can help each other."
Qin Yuerou's words were magnanimous and appropriate. She didn't act arrogant and bossy. Instead, she gave off a feeling of superiority.
"The Great Void Paradise …"
Upon hearing this name, Ye Xingchen's heart skipped a beat.
Back then, he had heard about the secrets of the Great Void from Ryu Ming-on. The Great Void Paradise was the goal of the Wu house, the Demon Sect, the Wind Moon Pavilion, and other factions.
It was rumored that the founder of the Wind Moon Sect had entered the Great Void Paradise by accident and obtained a great opportunity there. That was how he had founded the Wind Moon Sect. In just a few thousand years, the Wind Moon Sect had occupied a position among the many top factions in the Xuanyu territory.
Although the founder of the Wind Moon Sect had worked hard to achieve this, the opportunity in the Great Void Paradise had definitely helped him a lot.
Now, the Great Zhou Empire's Little Marquis Zhen Tian, the Little Marquis was concerned about Princess Qingyin, and the Great Qin Empire's guests were all here for the Great Void Paradise.
Ye Xingchen guessed that the Wu house was in a hurry to unite many factions to destroy the Demon Sect so that there would be fewer fights in the Great Void Paradise.
Suddenly, Ye Xingchen recalled that the person he had killed in the Scarlet Mang City in the southern part of the Great Void Paradise was from the Underworld King Sacred Ground.
He had never heard of the Underworld King Sacred Ground in the Xuanyu territory, so it must be from another domain. That person was probably here for the Great Void Paradise.
"How do we cooperate?"
Ye Xingchen asked directly. He did not know anything about the Great Void Paradise, so he could get some information from the two of them.
Qin Yuerou said, "We will form an alliance with the King of Heng and help each other.
We can also help the King of Heng deal with the Little Marquis Zhen Tian. "
"Deal with the Little Marquis Zhen Tian?
I have no enmity with him, so why should I deal with him? "Ye Xingchen smiled.
"King of Heng must be joking," Qin Yuerou said.
"As far as I know, the Little Marquis Zhen Tian once sent people to the Jade Capital, but you killed them. Given the Little Marquis Zhen Tian's vengeful personality, he will definitely not let the Daheng dynasty off."
Qin Zhen snorted. "You might not know this, but the Little Marquis Zhen Tian is listed on the Xuanyu territory's Chosen List. Given his strength, he can easily destroy the Daheng dynasty. I'm afraid that even if the Great Void has Nirvana experts, they might not be his match."
Qin Zhen was originally displeased with Ye Xingchen for waiting for an hour, but now that he saw Ye Xingchen's indifferent expression upon hearing the name of the Heaven Protector Young Marquis, he couldn't help but mock Ye Xingchen.
Qin Yuerou glanced at Qin Zhen, who immediately shrank his head. It was obvious that Qin Yuerou was above him in terms of strength and status.
"King of Heng, please don't take offense. Qin Zhen has a straightforward personality and speaks too rashly."
Qin Yuerou looked apologetic, so no one could see that she was being rude. Instead, because of her attitude, he had a good impression of her.
"We can cooperate, but I have to be the leader," Ye Xingchen said.
