Supreme Devouring God

After Ye Wutian took Qin Chen away,

The other prodigies began to make their choices.

Among them, Xuu Qian and Yue Yishan chose to join the Second Palace.

They wanted to join the Ninth Palace with Qin Chen, but they knew it was impossible.

The appearance of a Nine Rings Genius continued to ferment within Saber Saint Cliff.

Qin Chen’s reputation as a new disciple was destined to spread throughout Saber Saint Cliff.

”Little Junior Brother, once we reach the Ninth Palace, you can act as if it’s your own home. You can do whatever you like; the teacher usually doesn’t care much about us.”

Ye Wutian led Qin Chen to a secluded valley.

Qin Chen looked puzzled.

Why did he feel like he’d gone to the middle of nowhere?

”Senior Brother, isn’t there a small number of people in our Ninth Palace?”

Qin Chen asked.

Ye Wutian said, ”Yes, there are very few. In the entire Ninth Palace, counting the teacher and your Senior Sister, there are only three people. Well, now there are four.”

Poof!

Qin Chen’s eyes widened.

Only three people in total?

This is more than just a small number, it’s practically deserted!

However.

This reminded Qin Chen of his time at the Thunder Sky Sect Holy Institute.

Back then, the Holy Institute was a rather special existence within the Thunder Sky Sect, and there, Qin Chen had many special memories.

Now this Ninth Palace and the Holy Institute seem to share similar destinies.

Ye Wutian said, ”Having fewer people is good, it’s peaceful. The main thing is that the teacher is rather lazy and doesn’t like teaching, so he hasn’t recruited disciples.”

”Strictly speaking, there was only me in the Ninth Palace. Your Senior Sister just accompanies me here.”

”At first, I was worried the teacher would oppose it, but he didn’t say anything, and gradually it became the norm.”

Lazy?

Qin Chen was speechless.

This reason is absolutely unbeatable.

Ye Wutian said, ”I thought the teacher would never recruit anyone again in this lifetime, but unexpectedly he told me to go down the mountain and find you, insisting I bring you to the Ninth Palace or else he would kick me out.”

”Speaking of this makes me angry, the teacher is really too heartless, kicking people out just like that.”

”But it’s alright, no one dares to snatch someone the teacher has his eyes on.”

Dream Saber Lord?

Qin Chen was filled with curiosity.

”By the way, Little Junior Brother, you tested the Nine Ring Heavenly Stele. How many rings are you?”

Ye Wutian was only following Dream Saber Lord’s order to win over Qin Chen, not knowing what had happened earlier in the arena.

”Nine Rings.”

Qin Chen replied honestly.

”Oh, Nine Rings. Uh, wait! What did you say?!”

Ye Wutian initially didn’t react, but when he did, he stopped in his tracks, staring at Qin Chen in shock.

”Nine Rings? You say you’re a Nine Rings Genius?!”

Qin Chen smiled and nodded, ”Yes.”

”My heavens.”

Ye Wutian circled around Qin Chen like he was an extraordinary treasure.

”Little Junior Brother, you’re amazing! A Nine Rings Genius! How did you do it?”

Ye Wutian exclaimed in astonishment.

Qin Chen thought seriously for a moment, ”I achieved it by accident.”

You’re kidding me!

Ye Wutian pouted, ”No wonder the teacher is so mercenary, he had me snatch you because you’re the legendary Nine Rings Genius.”

”Alas, looks like I’ll fall out of favor. Little Junior Brother, if you become successful, remember your Senior Brother, okay?”

He wore a despondent expression.

Qin Chen laughed, ”Senior Brother, it’s not that serious. Speaking of the Palace Master, may I meet the Palace Master?”

Ye Wutian said, ”Of course, we’re almost there. Once we’re at the Ninth Palace, I’ll take you to meet the teacher, who specifically asked me to bring you to him.”

Following Ye Wutian.

Qin Chen passed through a valley and reached an ordinary mountain.

From afar, Qin Chen saw several run-down buildings on top of the mountain.

Qin Chen didn’t mind, he turned to Ye Wutian, ”Senior Brother, after climbing this mountain, we’ll be there, right?”

Ye Wutian shook his head, ”No mountain climbing necessary, we’re almost there.”

Qin Chen was stunned.

What is this?

This is the Ninth Palace?

He couldn’t believe his eyes.

The environment is harsher than a slum!

No wonder Ye Wutian said you could do anything once you reached the Ninth Palace.

In this place, you can’t do anything even if you wanted to!

Qin Chen suddenly felt he’d boarded a pirate ship.

”Senior Brother, didn’t you say the Ninth Palace could offer everything the other Eight Palaces could? Are you sure?”

Qin Chen questioned, looking at Ye Wutian.

Ye Wutian shrugged, ”I emphasized it was the teacher who said that, not me. As someone who’s been through this, let me tell you: the teacher’s words, just listen and don’t take them to heart.”

Qin Chen: ”...”

Then don’t pass the message along!

Ye Wutian pretended to shed tears, ”Honestly, Little Junior Brother, I was tricked here the same way back in the day.”

Qin Chen felt a bit pitiful and comforted him, ”It’s okay, Senior Brother. Cultivation is cultivation, the environment doesn’t matter.”

”I agree; you get used to it.”

The next second, Ye Wutian’s tearful expression quickly shifted to a bright smile.

Qin Chen: ”...”

”Actually, Little Junior Brother, don’t judge our Ninth Palace by appearance; it’s not as simple as it looks. You’ll gradually understand.”

”At the very least, our Ninth Palace is truly close to the Seventh Palace.”

Ye Wutian and Qin Chen stood up on the mountain of the Ninth Palace.

Ye Wutian gazed at the Immortal Palaces ahead, occasionally catching glimpses of female disciples from the Seventh Palace, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips.

He seemed somewhat enamored.

Qin Chen glanced at the magnificent Seventh Palace opposite, then at his own Ninth Palace, and clenched his teeth.

He must persist with the choice he made, even if it means shedding tears.

”Is it beautiful?”

Suddenly, a voice tinged with coldness came from behind, causing Qin Chen to shiver.

”Beautiful.”

Ye Wutian instinctively replied.

Instantly.

The temperature of the whole space dropped sharply.

Ye Wutian was startled, his face showing a smile as vibrant as a flower, and he looked at the figure standing not far away.

The woman appeared young, with a delicate face, though at the moment it was filled with a chilling smile, making one shiver.

”Of course, nothing can match even a fraction of my family’s Yihuan’s beauty.”

Ye Wutian said with a smile.

Qin Chen immediately knew the woman’s identity and quickly said, ”Junior Brother Qin Chen, greets Senior Sister.”

Ye Wutian instantly threw a grateful look toward Qin Chen, he was a benefactor.

Su Yihuan glanced at Qin Chen, and instantly returned to normal, smiling softly, ”Ah, so it’s Little Junior Brother. I heard Little Junior Brother has a Daoist couple who just joined the Seventh Palace?”

”Your greeting gift has already been prepared by your Senior Brother. I’ll choose a gift for her.”
