Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 443: Three Against One, The Advantage Is Ours!

”Ye Chen, now that youʼve broken through to the Deity Transformation realm, if you have any questions about the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique, come find me later. Consider it my congratulatory gift!” Feng Baiyu spoke with grand confidence.

Ye Chen paused briefly in silence. He nearly blurted out, ”No need to wait, Holy Master. If you have questions, you can ask me now.”

But thinking it might seem rude, he held back. Ye Chen sincerely thanked the Holy Master. Next, Feng Baiyu brought up the matter of their sectʼs fallen expert, his brows furrowing.

After Heavenly Intention Holy Son killed their elder, retaliation was inevitable. But the enemy was cautious, never acting alone. Even when Feng Baiyu personally intervened, he only managed to leave one foe near death, who was ultimately rescued.

As for Senior Brother Hua Yunfei, who broke through to the Unity realm two months ago, he also acted once but failed to kill the enemyʼs Unity realm expert for revenge.

Feng Baiyuʼs face darkened. ”They killed one of our Holy Landʼs people. At the very least, theyʼll pay with three lives. Hua Yunfei, the ruins of the Great Yang Divine Dynasty are about to emerge. Go there yourself and take three of their lives!”

Hua Yunfeiʼs handsome face showed a helpless smile, but he agreed readily.

Ye Chen couldnʼt help but sigh. The moment Heavenly Intention Holy Son reached the Unity realm, he targeted their Holy Landʼs expert.

It was clear that, despite the longstanding feud between their Holy Lands, Heavenly Intention Holy Sonʼs actions were also tied to Ye Chen. He was seeking revenge.

Whether it was purely for his fallen brother or because he discovered Ye Chen had humiliated the fiancée by carving words on her, the fallen expertʼs death was connected to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen spoke up. ”Does this elder have any descendants?”

Senior Brother replied, ”He has a daughter, only seventeen. She didnʼt inherit the King Body, only possessing an Earth Spirit Root. Her talent is too weak… That elder went to the Endless Sea to gather enough contributions to exchange for a treasure from the Holy Landʼs vault to enhance her spirit root.”

Ye Chen nodded. ”Ask her if sheʼs willing to join my Ascension Peak. Iʼll help improve her spirit root, provide cultivation resources, and guide her practice.”

The others saw through Ye Chenʼs intentions and were slightly surprised.

The Holy Land already offered substantial compensation and special treatment for the orphans of fallen elders.

But Ye Chenʼs wealth was renowned, with rumors that nearly everyone on Ascension Peak had access to immortal scriptures. Sending the elderʼs daughter there was clearly the best choice.

After a brief chat, the group dispersed. Ye Chen greeted Senior An and the others, then returned to seclusion to stabilize his cultivation. He also needed to process deeper insights into his Heavy Pupil from the recent battle. Normally, he might have spent days detoxifying before retreating. But this time was different.

Ye Chen disliked the feeling of being targeted by an enemy. It unsettled him. So, he resolved to rapidly boost his strength, seize an opportunity, and crush Heavenly Intention Holy Son with a single punch.

Within his sea of spiritual sense, his purple-glowing primordial spirit sat like a deity. Beside it, a towering phantom floated in his spiritual sense—his Heaven and Earth Manifestation, born from comprehending the Pangu World-Opening Diagram.

For now, it was merely a shadow, barely usable. To solidify it, he needed to refine and infuse it with Yin and Yang energies. This was one reason the Deity Transformation realm was so formidable.

At this stage, cultivators began to touch the Charm of the Dao, sensing its profound mysteries. Breaking through became increasingly difficult, as grasping the Charm of the Dao was no simple feat.

Ye Chen possessed the Moon Laurel Tree, under which he could directly comprehend the origin of Taiyin, making cultivation twice as effective. Yet, pure Yin alone wouldnʼt suffice. He needed the Way of the Yang as well. Only by advancing both together could he continuously improve.

Beyond that, Ye Chen had to consider Deity Transformation realm techniques. He had the Deity Transformation chapters of the Great Emperor Scripture, Eternal Cosmos Sutra, and other immortal scriptures. But he didnʼt want any of them.

The Heavenly Emperor had already proven with his life that the most suitable immortal scriptures for the Deity Transformation realm were the Great Yang and Yin Scriptures.

Cultivating both simultaneously was incredibly difficult. But if successful, the accumulated Yin-Yang Dao in the Deity Transformation realm would be unimaginably profound. This foundation not only boosted combat strength and enhanced the Heaven and Earth Manifestation but could also transform into a domain upon breaking through to the Unity realm. The deeper the foundation, the stronger the domain in the Unity realm.

Cultivating both scriptures was hard. Obtaining both was even harder. The Great Yang Scripture vanished with the fall of the Great Yang Divine Dynasty, and the Great Ying Scripture disappeared with the collapse of the Moon Palace.

Ye Chen found the Heavenly Emperorʼs feats almost absurd—he blazed a brilliant path but then destroyed it himself. Truly baffling. Since the Heavenly Emperor, no one could follow this path, not even his successors, as he only passed down his later work, the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, not the other immortal scriptures he cultivated.

For other cultivators, this path was unattainable. But for Ye Chen, it wasnʼt so daunting. First, the issue of obtaining the scriptures: if he could acquire fragments of the Great Ying and Yang Scriptures, that would be ideal, likely easily obtained through gifting. If not, it wasnʼt a problem—he could try gifting other scriptures multiple times to eventually obtain them.

Cultivating both simultaneously was challenging, but with his top-tier comprehension, Yin-Yang Dao Sea, and the Moon Laurel Treeʼs aid, it was feasible. If he could obtain the Fusang Ancient Tree in the future, it would be perfect.

Thus, Ye Chen, previously uninterested in the Great Yang Divine Dynasty ruins, now felt a spark of intrigue. When the ruins emerged, he might take a look. Such a grand event might even draw the fiancée, perhaps bringing the stone tablet with the Battle Secret. Heavenly Intention Holy Son would likely be there too. So, preparations were necessary.

Ye Chen was confident in his strength, but Heavenly Intention Holy Son, a top-tier prodigy, was likely stronger than the fiancée. Even if Ye Chen could win, stopping him from escaping might be difficult. The best approach was to team up with Senior Brother and seize the chance to crush him outright.

If the fiancée was there, she might even turn against Heavenly Intention. After all, as Heavenly Intention Holy Maiden, she wasnʼt some lovesick fool whoʼd change completely over a carved word or a mark. Her prior actions suggested more than mere dissatisfaction with Heavenly Intention Holy Son—she wanted him dead.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend. So, if they crossed paths in the Great Yang Divine Dynasty ruins, it could become a three-against-one scenario. With the right timing, location, and allies, the advantage was his!

Meanwhile, the Holy Landʼs bell tolled. An elder arrived to inform Ye Chen: the Great Yang Divine Dynasty ruins in the Endless Sea had officially opened.
