Following Ye Chen's voice, a hazy figure suddenly condensed in front of Ye Chen.
At first, the figure was still hazy, but soon, the figure became solid, just like a real person.
After seeing the figure's appearance clearly, Ye Chen couldn't help but grin. He said helplessly, "How did you condense into the appearance of a woman? And it's almost exactly the same as Xue 'er."
At this moment, the self-consciousness of the World God Tree had condensed into a body with an exquisite figure. It was actually a woman with almost perfect looks.
Moreover, this woman obviously had the characteristics of many people. Overall, she was more like Murong Xue, but there were also some characteristics of Li Mengyao and Ning Xiu 'er.
With just one look, Ye Chen could tell that the self-consciousness of the World God Tree had most likely imitated the appearance of all the women who had appeared here before finally turning into this appearance.
Although the self-consciousness of the World God Tree had condensed into a form, it was just an illusory spiritual body that could change its form at any time.
However, the form that she had condensed for the first time was almost subconsciously condensed by her.
She would most likely maintain this form in the future.
Ye Chen didn't object to this. However, suddenly seeing a second Murong Xue made him feel a little strange.
"Master, what is a woman?"
Hearing Ye Chen's question, the self-consciousness of the World God Tree in front of him revealed a stunned expression.
The other party's rhetorical question made Ye Chen completely speechless. He shook his head and said, "Forget it. You'd better familiarize yourself with your current appearance first. I used many treasures to forcefully raise your level this time. Your foundation is not stable. If you don't stabilize your current level as soon as possible, it will be very difficult for you to advance in the future."
After casually giving the World God Tree a few words, Ye Chen turned and left the small world inside the Budur Ancient Pagoda.
…
In the depths of the palace, Ye Chen's figure suddenly appeared in a palace.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Chen put away the palm-sized Budur Ancient Pagoda on his back. He turned to the side and said, "Elder, thank you for protecting me. However, I plan to leave the palace for a period of time. I will leave Xue 'er's safety in your hands."
The Gravekeeper Old Man's figure slowly appeared off to the side. He stared at Ye Chen and said, "Ye Chen, you are now the most important person in the Human Race. Even all of us old bones added together are not as important as you. Therefore, before you fully grasp the power of the Deva Realm, you must have someone to protect you."
"Senior, you seem to be a little too cautious. I don't think there's a need for that," Ye Chen said with a bitter smile.
He was actually not too worried about his own safety.
Firstly, the news that Ye Chen had grasped the Ultimate Power had not spread. Not many people knew about it.
Secondly, after Ye Chen had comprehended the Ultimate Power, his own strength had far surpassed that of an ordinary person. Even if those experts who were half a step away from the Deva Realm came to attack Ye Chen, they might not be able to kill Ye Chen. Perhaps, under their pressure, Ye Chen would be able to grasp the Ultimate Power sooner.
The Gravekeeper Old Man waved his hand and said, "Ye Chen, you don't have to worry about this. I will arrange it."
As he spoke, the Gravekeeper Old Man waved his hand to the side. Gu Feige's figure slowly walked out from the side.
"Ye Chen, from now on, Gu Feige will be your bodyguard. No matter where you go, he will be by your side."
Among the four experts who were half a step away from the Deva Realm of the Wu Huang Dynasty, Yang Xuanji, was guarding the Central Region. The Weapon Ancestor was leading the army of the Ministry of War and fighting everywhere.
The Gravekeeper Old Man was in charge of guarding the Imperial City. Only Gu Feige had no actual mission.
Now, Gu Feige, who was half a step away from the Deva Realm, was actually assigned to be Ye Chen's bodyguard.
To have a bodyguard who was half a step away from the Deva Realm was definitely unprecedented. Even Gu Junlin did not enjoy such treatment back then.
Seeing the Gravekeeper Old Man's firm attitude, Ye Chen did not decline. He nodded and said, "In that case, I won't speculate anymore. Senior, I plan to go to the Central Region first, and then to the Outer Heaven Temple."
"The Outer Heaven Temple?"
The Gravekeeper Old Man frowned and said, "With your current strength, there are not many people in the entire Hidden Dragon World who can pose a threat to you. However, the Outer Heaven Temple is an exception. There are many places in the Outer Heaven Temple that are quite dangerous even to us. Ye Chen, before you become a Deva Realm, I don't recommend you to go to the Outer Heaven Temple."
Ye Chen's face turned serious and said, "Senior, don't worry. The place I'm going to this time should not be dangerous. Moreover, I have something important to do and must go to the Outer Heaven Temple. Therefore, this trip is imperative."
The Gravekeeper Old Man frowned and pondered for a moment. In the end, he nodded and said, "Well, since Feige is by your side, even if you go to the Outer Heaven Temple, it shouldn't be too dangerous. You just need to know your limits."
"Well, I will pay attention to this. If senior doesn't have any other advice, I plan to leave for the Central Region in half a day." Ye Chen nodded and said.
…
The Central Region of the Wu Huang Dynasty used to be the most prosperous place in the entire Hidden Dragon World. But now, it had become a land of death.
Large swaths of black deathly aura were rolling on the ground like ocean waves.
Occasionally, a group of distorted faces could be seen emerging from the Death Qi, letting out sharp and painful screams.
Fortunately, every time the deathly aura tried to fly upward, a layer of crystal-like crystal wall would appear out of thin air and block the deathly aura.
Above the Death Qi, a group of sergeants from the Ministry of War flew over it with halberds in their hands.
When the pained faces below let out piercing howls, two of the soldiers also revealed pained expressions. Their bodies swayed, and the two of them actually lost control of their bodies and fell directly to the ground.
"Be careful."
In front of the group, the captain's expression changed greatly. His figure swayed and he directly pulled the two dazed sergeants into the air with his halberd.
After lying on the captain's halberd for a while, the two sergeants suddenly woke up and jumped up. With a frightened expression, they said, "Thank you, captain. If it weren't for you just now, I'm afraid the two of us would have been completely finished."
After guarding this place for so many years, these sergeants had already seen the horror of the Death Qi in the west. Not to mention them, even experts who were stronger than them would die immediately if they fell into the Death Qi below.
"It's okay. You guys be careful. We've only been here for less than three days. I didn't expect that we would be unable to withstand the erosion of the Demonic Sound here. I'll immediately apply to the higher-ups for our team to leave the Central Region to rest for half a year and then continue patrolling." The captain in front sighed.
Although these sergeants were responsible for guarding this place, they came here in turns. Generally speaking, they needed to rest for a few months every half a month before they could continue to enter this place.
