You must know.

Before this, everyone was waiting to see the downfall of Taotian Palace.

In everyone’s eyes,

Taotian Palace was destined to be destroyed.

Because they couldn’t imagine what way Ye Qingchen could possibly have to resist the overwhelming force of the eight major sects and the True Martial Sect simultaneously. Once this power united, not to mention flattening Taotian Palace, even destroying Celestial Peak Country would be an easy task.

Wherever it goes,

no one could stop its momentum.

However,

this unexpected event happened.

Ye Qingchen, astonishingly with his own strength, easily performed a heaven-shattering reversal, destroyed the True Martial Sect, and flattened the eight major sects. Immediately, the reputation of Taotian Palace soared to the extreme.

Originally deserted, Taotian Palace was now almost overwhelmed by visitors coming to pay their respects.

An Mengxiang and others couldn’t believe it.

The previously unstable Taotian Palace ended up laughing to the end, becoming the biggest winner?

“How is this possible?”

Not only An Mengxiang and others couldn’t believe it, Lei Qianjue, Chen Beixuan, Zhao Yue…

Even most people from Celestial Peak Country couldn’t believe it.

Even more so,

even the royal family of Celestial Peak Country was full of doubt.

Because they just received the news that Ye Qingchen had ascended to the top of the silver battle ranking.

“Yao’Er, tell me, what exactly is going on!”

Imperial Palace, the hall.

The Monarch of Celestial Peak Country looked puzzled.

You must know.

The powerhouses who can be ranked on the silver battle ranking are all the most extraordinary and outstanding figures among the younger generation today. With Ye Qingchen’s strength, ascending the silver battle ranking is indeed more than sufficient, but if he takes the top spot, it naturally raises doubts about his foundation and background.

They dared not ask Ye Qingchen face to face, so they could only ask Chu Yao, who had the closest relationship with Kong Shun, trying to learn something about it.

“Father, you should know about Mo Luo Celestial Saint, right?”

Chu Yao nodded.

“Of course I know!” The middle-aged man on the throne slightly nodded.

That was once the strongest Celestial Saint of the Western Domain, who stirred up a bloody storm after entering the Eastern Domain four hundred years ago. Wherever he went, villages were slaughtered, crimson blood stretched a thousand miles, countless powerhouses tried to drive him away, only to be killed.

In the end, it was Spiritual Splendor Celestial Saint who intervened.

That battle lasted three days and three nights, with mountains and rivers reversing, stars shifting. Finally, the two disappeared, and external rumors always said that they perished together in that battle.

“Then, do you know that Mo Luo Celestial Saint has never died!” Chu Yao continued, “He was suppressed by Spiritual Splendor Celestial Saint in Abyssal Valley for four hundred years, his soul undying, setting up a world-shaking killing trap, leading everyone in Black Abyss City into the net!”

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

With these words, the crowd burst into uproar.

No one expected,

Mo Luo Celestial Saint not only had not died, he even tried to resurrect. If he succeeded, wouldn’t the Eastern Domain face another bloody storm?

However, some were puzzled.

Weren’t we talking about Ye Qingchen? Why was Mo Luo Celestial Saint brought up? Could there be some connection between the two?

Seemingly guessing the crowd’s confusion, Chu Yao continued, “That day, Ye Qingchen also entered the valley! The powerhouses of Black Abyss City, knowing their opponent was Mo Luo Celestial Saint, turned against one another. Ye Qingchen, with one sword, slew nearly two hundred Ninth Heaven Profound Core powerhouses under his sword!”

“How is that possible?”

The crowd’s pupils contracted.

They simply did not expect such events to have transpired in Abyssal Valley that day.

“And what happened to Mo Luo Celestial Saint in the end? Did he let Ye Qingchen go?” Some ministers asked impatiently.

But after saying this, he shook his head secretly.

With Mo Luo Celestial Saint’s murderous nature, how could he let Ye Qingchen go?

Sure enough.

Chu Yao continued, “Mo Luo Celestial Saint was naturally unwilling to give up, he wanted to suppress Ye Qingchen with his own hands, but ended up being killed by Ye Qingchen. His spirit perished on the spot!”

These are things she casually heard from Ye Qingchen.

Although,

Ye Qingchen spoke lightly, she knew that battle must have been extremely dangerous.

“Truly an exceptional genius!” Someone else said, “However, although Ye Qingchen slew Mo Luo Celestial Saint, it is still not enough to suppress the entire Tongxuan Continent, right? Even though Mo Luo was not dead, having been suppressed for hundreds of years, his strength must have been far less than at its peak!”

Chu Yao looked in the direction of the voice.

The speaker was indeed Minister of Revenue Sun Zhifa, whose son Sun Hao had once had a conflict with Ye Qingchen, perhaps that is his eagerness to undermine him.

The ministers in the hall, although unaware of the relationship, also nodded in agreement.

“Yes, doesn’t Spirit Coffin Sect have a life-and-death feud with Ye Qingchen? How was it resolved?”

“I heard that when the eight major sects besieged Taotian Palace, the Spirit Coffin Sect Leader Yun Xuan also appeared…”

For a while.

The discussion was endless, and opinions varied.

“If so, it’s indeed not enough to make Spirit Coffin Sect bow.” Chu Yao nodded, casting a deep glance at Minister of Revenue Sun Zhifa, “Do you know that Ye Qingchen slew five Half-Step Celestial Saints of Spirit Coffin Sect in Yun Ding City?”

Sure enough.

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers were awestruck, even the one on the dragon throne turned pale.

You must know.

Those five Half-Step Celestial Saints were real and solid existences, unlike the residual spirit of Mo Luo, who had been suppressed for four to five hundred years.

This feat, compared to the battle in Abyssal Valley, was even superior.

“But this is still not enough…” Sun Zhifa’s forehead broke out in cold sweat, “Although Ye Qingchen slew five Half-Step Celestial Saints, Spirit Coffin Sect’s foundation is very deep, they should still have Celestial Saint powerhouses.”

Indeed!

Everyone nodded repeatedly at those words.

For an average force, losing five Half-Step Celestial Saints would be a significant blow. But for Spirit Coffin Sect, it wasn’t enough to cause injury to the bones, let alone the extent of being forced to bow and submit.

“But what if Spirit Coffin Sect’s Supreme Elder personally took action?” Chu Yao said softly.

“Supreme Elder?”

Everyone was taken aback.

The battle that made Ling Xiaozi famous was still fresh in memory, even if he hadn’t appeared for a century, his illustrious record was well-known. Did this Supreme Elder also make a move against Ye Qingchen?

Chu Yao continued:

“Spirit Coffin Sect’s Supreme Elder Ling Xiaozi, in his final battle, burned his lifespan and wielded the Pure Yang Nine Swords. The power he displayed was comparable to his peak. Yet Ye Qingchen took one sword strike from him, unharmed!”

At this point, Chu Yao paused, then continued,

“First on the silver battle ranking, Ye Qingchen!”

“In one night, he became famous throughout the Tongxuan Continent. In Abyssal Valley, he fought over a hundred Ninth Heaven Profound Core powerhouses, single-handedly resisting the entire Black Abyss City. He slew the residual spirit of Mo Luo Celestial Saint, suppressed Spirit Coffin Sect, endured a strike from Supreme Elder Ling Xiaozi unharmed!”

“He reached the Ninth Heaven Profound Core, known as the strongest under Celestial Saint!”

As these words fell.

The room fell into dead silence.

Sun Zhifa’s face turned pale, his eyes filled with despair.

Ye Qingchen, in his youth, became renowned in the Cyan Continent, shaking the world, with no peer among his contemporaries.

“Good!”

After a long time.

The presence above Jinluan Hall rose with an awe-inspiring demeanor, enunciating clearly,

“Ye Qingchen!”

“Incomparable hero!”
