Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

As the Peach Blossom Banquet approached, the atmosphere in Dongxuan Province grew increasingly fervent and tense.

Countless Cultivators gathered from the various major provinces in the eastern part of the dynasty, all just to witness the spectacular contest between the peerless prodigies.

After all, this was a competition between the highest-level young prodigies representing the entire eastern region of the dynasty!

Who wouldn’t be filled with anticipation?

However, no matter how fervent the outside world became, it had nothing to do with Ye Chen.

He knew his time was short. The tower ship was about to dock in Dongxuan Province, and he was currently in a rush, performing alchemy!

He had said he would give Luo Rou a gift, and he certainly wouldn’t go back on his word.

Of course, it wasn’t just Luo Rou. All the companions who had traveled alongside him on this journey would receive their share of benefits!

Ye Chen might not have been overly generous, but he was never stingy with his own people.

Besides, many of the resources were no longer of much use to him now. They were practically useless, so it was better to just give them to the people around him.

The current Ye Chen was not short on Spirit Stones, nor was he lacking in resources.

A casual gift from him was an act of incredible extravagance to others!

”Phew! Finally done!”

’These Fifth Grade Realm-Breaking Pills are just right for Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivators like them.’

Ye Chen let out a long breath, his body and mind feeling much more relaxed.

After all, these were Pseudo-Immortal Grade Realm-Breaking Pills refined using the Chaos Suppressing Prison Cauldron!

Even someone with Ye Chen’s terrifying foundation could break through several realms in a row after taking one, let alone an ordinary person.

These Pseudo-Immortal Grade Realm-Breaking Pills would likely remain effective right up until the breakthrough to the Divine Might Realm. They would greatly shorten the cultivation time for anyone who took them.

’I’ll give them these pills when we part ways.’

’For now, I’ll take one myself. I’ll use this last bit of time to improve my strength even more!’

Ye Chen’s eyes glinted. He stored away the pills from the Chaos Suppressing Prison Cauldron, leaving just one for himself.

As Ye Chen consumed the Fifth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill, a power so immense it defied description instantly spread through his body like a storm!

A series of thunderous rumbles echoed out, and even the Forbidden Array within the room was affected, rippling rapidly.

”Such powerful energy! What is this?”

Chi Ming, who had been meditating nearby, was startled. He opened his eyes, and his brilliant, ruby-like pupils looked toward Ye Chen in surprise.

”A Pseudo-Immortal Grade Realm-Breaking Pill. Truly extraordinary!”

The Realm Spirit spoke up as well. She glanced at Chi Ming and couldn’t help but ask, ”Speaking of which, you haven’t taken a Realm-Breaking Pill since you broke through to the Divine Might Realm, have you?”

”Er... no!” Chi Ming froze for a moment, then responded instinctively.

”Once the Master is free, you can ask him to refine one for you.”

The Realm Spirit said, ”A Sixth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill, and a Pseudo-Immortal Grade one that surpasses even the Top Grade at that... I’m truly curious just how powerful its effects would be.”

Hearing this, a trace of anticipation couldn’t help but rise in Chi Ming’s heart.

If such a legendary Realm-Breaking Pill truly existed, his path to the Void Realm would be drastically shortened, saving him immense cultivation time in the future!

...

Finally, after an eventful but safe voyage, the Cloud Mist Tower Ship arrived in Dongxuan Province!

A massive shadow swept across the ground as the tower ship descended from the sky, slowly coming to a stop within Dongxuan Province!

”We’re finally here.”

Mo Tianyun and the others emerged from their rooms, smiles on their faces.

Their trip to Dongxuan Province was to attend the Peach Blossom Banquet as invited guests.

And now, on the eve of the banquet’s start, the entire Dongxuan Province was bustling with excitement, the atmosphere fervent.

Even though they hadn’t disembarked yet, just looking down from the tower ship revealed a vast, dense sea of people everywhere.

”Are there really this many people? Dongxuan Province is so lively! You don’t see scenes like this often, even in the Central Province!” Jiang Yuzhe couldn’t help but exclaim.

”That’s only natural,” Old Cang chuckled from the side. ”The Peach Blossom Banquet has attracted Cultivators from all over the eastern part of the dynasty. A grand sight like this isn’t something you see every day.”

”That may be true, but the level of this Peach Blossom Banquet is nothing special in the Central Province,” Jiang Yuzhe said, shaking his head.

Among the young Cultivators of the entire eastern part of the dynasty, you could barely find a handful who had broken through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

But in the Central Province, young Cultivators in the Divinity Transformation Realm were a dime a dozen.

That included himself and Luo Rou. They hailed from the Demon Exorcism Institute and were both Divinity Transformation Realm experts, yet they were still considered unranked within the Institute.

But in the eastern part of the dynasty, their strength was enough to crush almost all other Cultivators of their generation!

Hearing this, Mo Tianyun couldn’t help but laugh and retort, ”How can you compare them? The Central Province is the most Spiritual Qi-rich place in the entire Great Hong Dynasty and the region with the highest cultivation strength. Even the Great Hong royal family is rooted there!”

”How can Dongxuan Province possibly compare to the Central Province?”

You could say that practically all the supreme experts of the Great Hong Dynasty’s Cultivation Realm were gathered in the Central Province.

After all, opportunities were countless there, the land was vast, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was dense. As a Cultivator, one would naturally be drawn to such a place.

This was especially true for powerful Cultivators.

In their quest to break through to higher realms, they could only go to places like that to find opportunities.

As for places with thin Spiritual Qi, they wouldn’t even spare them a second glance.

For example, Lei Province in the eastern part of the dynasty was considered a place with relatively thin Spiritual Qi.

There, among the four most famous great families and the three major sects, you could hardly find a few Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivators.

A Cultivator who could break through to the Primordial Mansion Realm was already considered exceptionally talented in the Lei Province region, with enough strength to dominate an area!

As for Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivators, there wasn’t a single one.

Only Venerable Ming Lei, who often traveled outside of Lei Province, eventually embarked on the path to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

But in the outside world—never mind the Central Province or Dongxuan Province—even in a major province like Yan Province, you could see quite a few Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivators.

Although the numbers were still limited, as long as it was a major power, it would more or less have one or two Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivators presiding over it.

That was the difference!

Only by venturing out into the wider world could one see a different world and experience different scenery.

”Senior Sister, what’s wrong?”

Just then, Jiang Yuzhe noticed that Luo Rou, who was standing to the side, had been sullen and seemed to be in low spirits, so he couldn’t help but ask.

”It’s nothing.” Luo Rou waved her hand dismissively. ”That guy is a liar who can’t keep his word.”

She was feeling a bit down, her mind constantly occupied with thoughts about Ye Chen.
