Supreme Lord of Towers

The Soul Refining Technique also has varying levels of quality.

And the ”Soul Emperor Observation Technique” is among the top-tier soul refining techniques in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms. Using it to cultivate the Divine Soul is naturally much faster than ordinary soul refining techniques.

Of course, it also depends on the talent of the Divine Soul Master.

The higher the talent of the Divine Soul Master, the easier it is to cultivate this technique, and certainly the faster the progress.

With Ye Chen’s current Divine Soul Talent, if he uses the ”Soul Emperor Observation Technique” to cultivate the Divine Soul, he can at least save more than half the time.

In other words, if he’s not lazy, he can cultivate the Divine Soul to the Second Layer of the Exorcism Realm within three months.

”Three months is still too slow. I wonder if Ye Lin’Er and Duanmu Jie will give me that much time.” Ye Chen couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of crisis in his heart.

Despite his current strength being able to contend with ordinary Sixth Layer Gang Qi Realm experts,

there are still countless people in the Celestial Flame Dynasty who can kill him.

Especially those in the Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm, who can easily crush him to death.

Such beings definitely exist in the Duanmu Family, and if Duanmu Jie sends them to assassinate him, he would be in mortal danger at any time.

Therefore, he truly desires to enhance his strength.

”Master, cultivating the Divine Soul cannot be rushed. Unless your Divine Soul Talent becomes even stronger, only then can you enter the Second Layer of the Divine Soul in a shorter time, but right now, you have no Evolutionary Power left.” Tower Spirit shook its head and said.

”Oh well, in three days, I must report to the Celestial Flame Academy, or else my student qualification will be canceled, so I don’t have time to hunt Tier Two Demon Beasts.” Ye Chen sighed helplessly.

Currently, he not only doesn’t have a Beast Core on him, but he also has no Evolutionary Power whatsoever, making it impossible to further improve his strength.

So in the remaining days, he can only obediently cultivate the ”Soul Emperor Visualization Map” in the carriage.

Of course, before that, he plans to first understand the situation at the Celestial Flame Academy.

In a book that Ouyang Xue gave him, there is quite some information about the Celestial Flame Academy.

Before long, Ye Chen took out a book from his bag and earnestly began to open it.

This book was written by an Elder from the War King Hall of the Celestial Flame Academy, recording much information about the Academy, which would undoubtedly be of great help to someone like Ye Chen, a newcomer.

”The Celestial Flame Academy was founded five hundred years ago by four powerful Immortals. These four Immortals, all coming from a superpower in the Southern Heaven Domain, established the four great factions: Celestial Flame Peak, War King Hall, Soul Palace, and Profound Sword Peak.” Ye Chen read on the first page of the book and saw such records.

”Immortals? They are beings beyond the Mortal Realm. Now, I fear there are no Immortals overseeing the Celestial Flame Dynasty.” Ye Chen couldn’t help but think in his heart.

As a descendant of the Divine Spirit Family’s Ye Clan, he stayed in the Ye Clan until he was six, so he is not unfamiliar with Immortals.

Because his parents are also Immortals, and immensely powerful ones at that.

In a Mortal Realm like the Celestial Flame Dynasty, it’s almost impossible to find Immortals, and the most powerful are the Qi Dao Grandmasters in the Celestial Spirit Realm.

This situation arises because the cultivation resources in the Celestial Flame Dynasty are too scarce to support the cultivation of Immortals.

They have to leave the Celestial Flame Dynasty to possibly continue enhancing their strength.

”After founding the Celestial Flame Academy, the four Immortals left a large number of inheritances in the Academy, aiming to nurture a batch of potential Immortal Seeds! Over these five hundred years, the Celestial Flame Academy has already produced two hundred prodigies who have reached the standard of Immortal Seeds.” Ye Chen continued to read the content on the upper part of the book.

The reason the Celestial Flame Academy keeps recruiting talents from various places in the Celestial Flame Dynasty is to cultivate a batch of potential Immortal Seeds.

However, becoming an Immortal Seed is indeed exceedingly difficult.

It’s worth noting that the Celestial Flame Academy recruits over a thousand students from the Celestial Flame Dynasty every four years.

So over five hundred years, they’ve recruited at least hundreds of thousands of students.

But among these hundreds of thousands of students, only two hundred have met the standard of Immortal Seeds.

Enough to see how difficult it truly is?

”Those who can become Immortal Seeds are basically the strongest seed students within the four great factions. Someone like Duanmu Jie, although he is also a seed student, his strength should be considered relatively ordinary among all seed students, and it’s basically hopeless for him to become an Immortal Seed.” Ye Chen couldn’t help but flash a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

He has already learned from the upper part of this book that there are currently a total of twenty-four seed students in the entire Celestial Flame Academy.

Some of these seed students are directly designated as seed students by the high-level leaders of the Celestial Flame Academy because their awakened bloodlines are too powerful.

For example, Ye Lin’Er and Duanmu Jie are just like that.

They didn’t even need to participate in the entrance examination, they were directly admitted as seed students of Celestial Flame Academy, with a prestigious status.

As for some other seed students, it wasn’t that easy for them.

They had to achieve outstanding results in various competitions held by the Celestial Flame Academy and gain unanimous recognition from the academy’s senior officials to become seed students.

Their awakened bloodlines might not match Duanmu Jie’s, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are weaker than him.

After all, many factors determine strength, and bloodline is only one of them.

”Ye Lin’Er is now a seed student of Celestial Flame Academy and is highly valued by the academy. Therefore, if I want revenge, I must show potential greater than hers, and even become an Immortal Seed, otherwise, the higher-ups of the Academy would never allow me to touch her.” Ye Chen began formulating his revenge plan in his heart.

Celestial Flame Academy pays tremendous attention to every seed student.

Anyone who dares to kill a seed student of Celestial Flame Academy would surely face the academy’s wrath.

Over four hundred years ago, a Qi Dao Grandmaster in the Celestial Spirit Realm killed a seed student of Celestial Flame Academy to avenge his descendants.

Within less than two days, he died suddenly.

Since then, in the Celestial Flame Dynasty, no one dares to openly kill a seed student of Celestial Flame Academy.

Even if someone wants to kill, they do so covertly, ensuring no one finds out.

”If I want to establish myself in Celestial Flame Academy, I must first become a seed student. By then, even the strong figures from the six major families of the Royal Capital wouldn’t dare to deal with me openly.” Ye Chen’s eyes shone with determination.

With his current strength, becoming a seed student of Celestial Flame Academy is not difficult for him.

However, if he rashly reveals his strength, he will be regarded as a freak, possibly arousing suspicion from some powerful figures.

If anyone discovers he possesses the Human Emperor’s Inheritance, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Therefore, for now, he cannot casually expose his true power.

To become a seed student, he needs to take it step by step.

”Aside from geniuses like Duanmu Jie with strong bloodlines, other students must first become seed student candidates, and three days from now, in the new student competition, if one can achieve first place, they can become a seed student candidate.” Ye Chen said excitedly.

The new student competition is a grand event held once every four years by Celestial Flame Academy.

Only new students who have just joined the academy are eligible to participate.

However, the Celestial Flame Dynasty has a total of one hundred and eight prefecture cities, some of which are even stronger than Kunzhou Prefecture. Even if only ten people from each prefecture city could join as new students, there would still be thousands.

This shows just how fierce the competition in the new student competition will be.

”With my current strength, getting first place in the new student competition shouldn’t be a problem. I want to see how strong the geniuses from other prefecture cities are,” Ye Chen said with a confident smile, his brow filled with assuredness.

As far as he knows, many prefecture cities in the Celestial Flame Dynasty are much stronger than Kunzhou Prefecture.

From these prefecture cities, geniuses stronger than Xiao Lan are sure to emerge, some even approaching the Gang Qi Realm in cultivation.

However, Ye Chen can now even slay Gang Qi Realm experts, so he is confident of securing first place in the new student competition.

By then, he will become a candidate for a seed student.

Even though his status will still be far inferior to those of the seed students, he will still enjoy decent treatment in Celestial Flame Academy.

”Among the four factions of Celestial Flame Academy, Celestial Flame Peak is undoubtedly the strongest, as every palace master has emerged from it. Meanwhile, War King Hall has become the weakest of the four factions, gradually declining over the decades! After the new student competition, all new students can choose which faction to join, and I’m unsure which to choose.” Ye Chen suddenly furrowed his brows.

He previously didn’t understand the differences between the academy’s four factions.

But after reading the record in a book, he gained some knowledge about them.

So, he feels somewhat confused about which faction to join.

If he doesn’t join War King Hall, he would feel guilty towards Ouyang Xue.

However, War King Hall is currently the weakest among the four factions, and students with potential generally choose other factions.
