The night was as gentle as water.
Tonight, the Imperial City was particularly quiet. The usual hustle and bustle was nowhere to be seen. However, under this silence, there was a hidden storm, causing everyone to exclaim in surprise.
Today was destined to be an extraordinary day.
In everyone's eyes, after today, the Yuhua Sect would cease to exist. However, Ye Chen's appearance had not only helped the Yuhua Sect resolve the crisis, but also used his sharp words to defeat Fang Han. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to the hearts of the crowd. At the same time, they were also shocked by Ye Chen's domineering and bravery.
Moreover, after Fang Han left, Ye Chen killed Hu Yangtie on the spot in front of everyone. His corpse was now hanging outside the Yuhua Sect.
Ye Chen's name once again shook the Imperial City.
In the Yuhua Sect that was shrouded in darkness, Ye Chen was quietly sitting cross-legged in a secret training room. His body was motionless, just like a statue.
Buzz!
Endless Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth flowed in and out of his body. When he inhaled, all the Yuan Qi disappeared into his Yuanhai. When he exhaled, the Yuan Qi rolled out like a tidal wave.
At this moment, Ye Chen's body seemed to have merged with heaven and earth. Every move he made could affect the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth.
"Break!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out in the silent secret room. It was not loud, but in the quiet secret room, there was still a ripple of echo. It was exceptionally clear.
In Ye Chen's Yuanhai.
The surging Yuan Qi tide broke through the solid barrier of the realm. In an instant, the Yuan Qi surged and swept through his limbs and bones, bursting with a carefree sound.
However, the Yuan Qi tide did not disappear without a trace because of the breakthrough of the realm. The Yuan Qi continued to gather, and the sound of the tide became more and more magnificent.
Boom!
The entire Yuanhai seemed to be trembling. The Yuan Qi tide was like a ferocious tiger, constantly bombarding the barrier of the realm. The rumbling sounds could be heard, and people could not help but be surprised.
Ye Chen actually wanted to break through two levels and step into the late stage of truth realm?
It was common knowledge that the path of cultivation emphasized on progressing step by step. After one charged through, one would either have to consolidate one's cultivation or eliminate the energy in one's body, and it required an extremely long period of bitter cultivation before one was able to charge into the next realm.
But Ye Chen was different.
Since he had stepped into the Fourth Sky of Truth realm, he had been diligently practicing his cultivation day and night. First, he had experienced the crazy battles in the Yuehua continent, and then his cultivation had been sealed. Then, he had painstakingly practiced the "Meridian Soul Grinding Technique" in order to remove the sealing power of the Yongfeng Ancient Gate. Today, he was facing countless strong opponents alone.
Only when one has accumulated enough will they be able to make a breakthrough.
However, everything Ye Chen had experienced during this period of time was sufficient to shock the hearts of others, so it was reasonable and logical for him to pass through two levels in succession.
Another rumble was heard.
Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and the Yuan Qi tide once again launched an offensive, breaking through the barrier of the realm in one fell swoop, allowing him to successfully step into the late stage of truth realm.
Feeling the increasingly vigorous Zhen Yuan in his body, Ye Chen was not surprised. He stretched out his palm, and a dazzling light emerged. It was the power of the soul.
Compared to the previous wisp, the current power of the soul was as thick as a thumb. Whether in terms of quality or quantity, it had made a qualitative leap.
However, Ye Chen wanted to use this power to practice the soul tactics, but in the end, it was still too difficult. However, he was not discouraged. Only saints could practice soul tactics, and his current starting point was far higher than others.
"When I break through to the Chaotic Prime realm, perhaps I will be able to completely control the power of the soul. At the same time, I will be able to clearly understand the secrets of the twelve totems, as well as the secrets of the sacred race."
Ye Chen walked out of the secret chamber, looked up at the bright moonlight, and murmured in his heart.
The two words "sacred race" were like a boulder, pressing down on his heart, making him eager to know all the secrets.
Da da!
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps was heard. Ye Chen pulled back his thoughts and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a graceful figure appear in his field of vision, slowly walking over.
"Ye Chen."
The beautiful figure said with a faint smile on her face, looking at Ye Chen with a charming and gentle gaze.
"Muyun, it's so late, you haven't gone to bed yet?"
Ye Chen also smiled, looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, and quietly changed the way he addressed her.
After going through life and death in the Yuehua Continent, the relationship between the two had also undergone an amazing transformation. Now, when the two looked at each other, there was an indescribable feeling in their eyes.
"I've been troubled by some things recently. Would you like to go out with me for a walk?" Liu Muyun pointed in the direction of the back mountain.
In this regard, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't refuse, and nodded in agreement.
It was already late at night, and most of the Yuhua Sect disciples had already gone to bed. Occasionally, a few rooms were brightly lit, and most of them were cultivating diligently, presenting a scene of arduous cultivation.
"Tonight's moonlight is so beautiful."
Liu Muyun looked up at the sky. At this moment, the gentle moonlight shone on her face, making her fair and moving, like a fairy of the moon. Ye Chen's gaze was slightly fixed on her, and he said with a smile, "The moonlight is beautiful, but it's not even one ten-thousandth of yours."
His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached Liu Muyun's ears, causing her to lower her head shyly, and a faint blush slowly appeared on her face. She said lightly, "Kid, when did you learn to be glib?"
Ye Chen didn't say anything, but he awkwardly scratched the back of his head.
"There's something I want to talk to you about."
After the blush on her face faded, Liu Muyun walked in front of Ye Chen. A letter appeared in her hand, and she handed it to Ye Chen.
Seeing this, Ye Chen glanced at Liu Muyun, then immediately took the letter and carefully read it. He saw a line of clear handwriting on it.
"At the end of the year, the Moon God will descend. Saintess, please return to Luna as soon as possible."
The words were simple and clear, but they were full of urgency. Ye Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. Liu Muyun was going to return to Luna at the end of the year.
"Are you finally leaving?" Ye Chen said after pondering for a moment.
Regarding Liu Muyun's departure, he wasn't too surprised.
Liu Muyun was Luna's Saintess, and was also the person chosen by the Moonlight Sword. She was responsible for the life and death of Luna. There would be a day when she would have to leave the Qinwu Dynasty.
However, what Ye Chen didn't expect was that this departure would come so soon.
"In recent years, Luna has suffered more and more oppression from other races. The people in the clan are in a state of panic, and many civil wars have broken out. Under such circumstances, as the Saintess, I naturally have to bear the heavy responsibility."
Liu Muyun took a deep breath and continued, "Moreover, the descent of the Moon God is related to whether I can unlock the second layer of the Moonlight Sword's seal. I can't miss it."
Hearing this, Ye Chen also understood.
The Moonlight Sword was Luna's inherited sword.
There were three layers of seals on the surface of this sword. Only by unlocking these three layers of seals would one be able to obtain the true power of the Moonlight Sword. Although Liu Muyun's innate talent was astonishing, she had only unlocked the first layer of the seal.
If she wanted to revitalize Luna, she must unlock the third layer of the Moonlight Sword's seal in the shortest time possible.
"Tomorrow at noon, I want you to accompany me to the palace."
Liu Muyun suddenly said, which surprised Ye Chen and he asked, "What for?"
"Well, you will know when the time comes."
Seeing Liu Muyun pretending to be mysterious, Ye Chen smiled helplessly and nodded slightly in agreement.
The two people walked side by side, treading under the soft moonlight. They walked for a period of time in the back of the mountain without speaking.
It was a rare reunion, but they had to part in a hurry. Naturally, they had to cherish the time they spent together.
Words were no longer important.
