Chapter 670 Two Pieces of News
"Ye Chen, you're awake?"
Seeing Ye Chen awaken from his deep sleep, with the backlash injuries already completely healed, Xiaojiu exclaimed with joy.
"Xiaojiu." Ye Chen nodded gently at Xiaojiu.
Then, Ye Chen's gaze shifted to where Long Li had vanished.
After a long while, Ye Chen retracted his gaze and looked at the white jade token that Long Li had left by his side.
While experiencing the backlash, even though Ye Chen was engulfed by it, he still had a sliver of Divine Sense left clear, allowing him to sense everything that had happened.
Even when he fell into a deep sleep, Ye Chen still sensed Long Li's quiet departure.
Ye Chen naturally understood all that Long Li had done for him!
If it weren't for Jiang Yao, perhaps Ye Chen really would have felt a liking for the young girl Long Li.
But after all, there was Jiang Yao.
Ye Chen didn't know how he would face Long Li afterward. However, no matter what, Ye Chen would not let go of Jiang Yao!
After a deep sigh, Ye Chen picked up the message jade token that Long Li left behind and placed it on his forehead, using his Divine Sense to sense the words inside.
Within the jade token, Long Li didn't mention the shameful incident between her and Ye Chen, but instead told him all she knew about the "Heavenly Union Flame" and the "Blue Extreme Iceflame."
She warned Ye Chen to be cautious with the "Heavenly Union Flame" and the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" to avoid another unresolvable backlash crisis in the future.
The line-by-line exhortation from Long Li, candidly explaining the situation of the "Heavenly Union Flame" and the "Blue Extreme Iceflame", made Ye Chen's heart feel an indescribable mix of emotions.
Ye Chen could certainly feel Long Li's concern for him!
Without that concern, Long Li wouldn't have come back to save him, helping him escape the major injury caused by the backlash.
Without that concern, Long Li would certainly not have told him all the secrets she knew about the "Heavenly Union Flame" and the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" without holding back!
Towards this young girl with whom he had an intimate relationship, this "First Goddess" of the young generation of the Divine Kingdom, Ye Chen had only one sentiment, and that was—"Deep gratitude to a beautiful benefactor"!
Deep gratitude to a beautiful benefactor.
Yet the outcome is unknown.
When Ye Chen put the jade token left by Long Li back down, he let out a long sigh.
Xiaojiu, who was by his side, naturally knew what troubled Ye Chen.
She knew Ye Chen liked Jiang Yao, and she knew Jiang Yao liked Ye Chen as well.
Now, however, the young girl Long Li had suddenly appeared, and this young girl had also become so intimately involved with Ye Chen.
Even Xiaojiu was somewhat worried, uncertain whether Long Li or Jiang Yao would end up with Ye Chen in the end.
Both girls were so outstanding, both so stunningly beautiful.
And both were so kind to Ye Chen.
"Otherwise, why not just marry them both?" Xiaojiu thought in distress, and finally couldn't help but mumble to Ye Chen, "Anyway, many great powerholders in the Divine Kingdom have several wives and concubines, Ye Chen, you are outstanding enough to match both Jiang Yao and Long Li!"
Although Xiaojiu favored Jiang Yao, with whom she had experienced adventures in the Undersea Divine Palace, a bit more, considering how Long Li had shamelessly saved Ye Chen and then left silently, Xiaojiu did not want Long Li to be hurt either.
Xiaojiu's words made the troubled Ye Chen give her an involuntary white-eyed glance.
Whether it was Jiang Yao or Long Li, both were unique girls in this world.
Let alone whether they would agree, even if they did, their elders would probably not accept it.
After all, behind Long Li was the Northern Territory King and "Sovereign Xuechen," the strongest individual from the Supreme Divine Institute.
Such great powerholders would never agree to a situation where two women shared one husband!
"Forget it, we'll deal with the matters of the future when they come."
In the end, Ye Chen was unwilling to dwell on this troublesome matter any longer.
The urgent priority was that he had to resolve the backlash issue with the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" and the "Heavenly Union Flame."
Otherwise, every instance of backlash would have to be resolved through the intimate connection with Long Li, which he wouldn't want, not to mention that Ye Chen was unwilling to continuously take advantage of Long Li without any clarity!
This time it was the unexpected backlash from annihilating Qin Feng, but in the future, Ye Chen couldn't let such an accident occur again!
"According to Long Li, she cultivates a special cultivation method left by a great powerholder, which was once triggered by me."
"Initially, my 'Stars Tower' and 'Primordial Star Scripture' were also triggered by Long Li."
"It seems likely that the cultivation method Long Li mentioned is on the same level as my 'Primordial Star Scripture'!"
Since Long Li had had relations with Ye Chen, she didn't withhold the incident of her "Star Luo God Ring" being triggered by Ye Chen and straightforwardly explained the situation to Ye Chen in the message jade token.
From what Long Li said, Ye Chen immediately guessed that Long Li might possess something of the same level as his "Stars Tower" and "Primordial Star Scripture"!
Now that Long Li had left, if she hadn't, Ye Chen would have even discussed this level of existence with her thoroughly.
After all, Ye Chen still knew too little about the existence beyond the Sovereign Realm, like the Zi Ji Star Lord!
At this time, Long Li had also received an item of the same caliber left by a being of that level, and Ye Chen, of course, had to inquire about Long Li's situation carefully!
"Long Li said she had cultivated her special cultivation technique to an extremely profound degree, which was the only way she could resist the recoil of 'Heavenly Union Flame' and 'Blue Extreme Iceflame,' allowing her to summon the Blue Extreme Iceflame and use it to practice the technique."
"I'm afraid that if I want to freely use 'Blue Extreme Iceflame' and 'Heavenly Union Flame,' I must also cultivate the 'Primordial Star Scripture' to a deeper level. The fourth chapter, the 'Primordial Chapter,' obviously isn't enough."
"It's very likely that I would be able to do this only by practicing the 'Primordial Star Scripture' to the fifth or even the sixth chapter!"
After Ye Chen and Long Li fused, he broke through from the Four Tribulations True God Realm to the Seven Tribulations True God Realm in one fell swoop.
He had not yet taken the time to properly refine the benefits of this breakthrough, nor had he taken advantage of the breakthrough to further practice the 'Stellar Divine Diagram' of the fourth chapter of the 'Primordial Star Scripture,' the 'Primordial Chapter.'
At this moment, the 'Heavenly Union Flame' and 'Blue Extreme Iceflame' within Ye Chen's body were like a thunder ready to explode at any moment, which naturally made him even more resolute in pushing towards a higher level of mastery in the 'Primordial Star Scripture.'
Only by cultivating the 'Primordial Star Scripture' to a higher level could Ye Chen be confident and no longer worry about 'Blue Extreme Iceflame' and 'Heavenly Union Flame.'
"Long Li left me a method in the jade token that can temporarily suppress the 'Heavenly Union Flame' and 'Blue Extreme Iceflame,' preventing them from erupting spontaneously. Until 'Heavenly Union Flame' and 'Blue Extreme Iceflame' are completely handled, these two powerful forces must not be used again."
"The exploration of the Nine Suns Ancient Land still has some time before it ends."
"During this period, I will cultivate diligently within this hollow of the tree, aiming to make further progress in the fourth chapter, the 'Primordial Chapter!'"
"With the 'Fire Elemental Lotus Seed' I risked my life to obtain from Flame Mountain, which can enhance my strength by an entire minor realm, I will at least break through to the Seven Tribulations True God. After I have cultivated the 'Primordial Chapter' to the level of Great Accomplishment, only then will I leave!"
"Once I have completely finished cultivating the 'Primordial Chapter' and entered the later chapters of the 'Primordial Star Scripture,' I will see if there's even a fraction of a chance to resolve the recoil from 'Heavenly Union Flame' and 'Blue Extreme Iceflame!'"
After much thought, Ye Chen began to meditate and cultivate directly in the hollow of the tree.
...
While Ye Chen awoke and entered into cultivation.
Long Li, who had previously left the hollow, had already arrived outside of it.
Long Li's cheeks were still flushed with shyness from her recent intimacy with Ye Chen.
Her appearance immediately caught the complete attention of the few God Kings outside.
This time, Yang Yun, Yang Yan, Mu Ling, Mu Xiao, Hong Ming, Hong Yi, Zhu Qianqian, and Zhu Qingqing had become absolutely certain of the special relationship between Long Li and Ye Chen, and their gazes towards Long Li fundamentally changed.
The meaning in their eyes made Long Li even more embarrassed and irritated.
Long Li glanced back at the hollow where Ye Chen was.
Her gaze was complex.
When Long Li turned her head back, she suppressed the shyness in her heart and looked at Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing, speaking out, "Sisters, I've already obtained what I should have from the Nine Suns Ancient Land; I will take my leave first."
"You sisters stay here and wait... wait for Ye Chen to come out safely, then you can leave!"
Seeing Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing nodding, and without waiting for the two women to say more, Long Li suddenly appeared at an extremely high point in the Void Heaven.
With a grasp towards the Void Heaven, Long Li tore open a rift in the Nine Suns Ancient Land, which had been sealed off during the exploration period. Then, she directly escaped from the Nine Suns Ancient Land region.
The Nine Suns Ancient Land was a domain left by a Heavenly Divine Venerable such as the Nine Suns Venerable, which was later refined again by the Heavenly Divine Venerable of the Southern Territory King Mansion.
Such a domain, being sealed during the exploration period, couldn't be breached by even other Heavenly Divine Venerables.
Yet, Long Li effortlessly tore open the rift and left the Nine Suns Ancient Land.
This, of course, shocked the remaining eight God Kings to the utmost.
All eight understood that after Long Li's encounter with Ye Chen, her strength had similarly surged.
Previously, Long Li, still at the Upper God King Realm, was capable of battling a Heavenly God. Now, having advanced to the Earth Divine Venerable Realm, it was probably not impossible for her combat power to have climbed to the level of an Immortal Divine Venerable!
Otherwise, she would not have been able to leave the Nine Suns Ancient Land so easily!
Seeing Long Li leave and the rift in the Void Heaven close up again, the expressions of Yang Yun and Yang Yan darkened to the extreme.
The stronger Long Li became, the more they felt a sense of loss, and their hatred towards Ye Chen increased.
Because, before she left, Long Li had asked Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing to look after Ye Chen, clearly indicating her heart was tied to Ye Chen, and they had no hope of competing successfully against him!
Seeing the dark expressions on Yang Yun and Yang Yan's faces, Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing understood their thoughts.
After exchanging a glance, both women unsheathed their treasured swords and stood guard outside the hollow where Ye Chen was cultivating.
This situation infuriated Yang Yun and Yang Yan even more.
Since they already lacked confidence to strike down Ye Chen personally due to the 'Blue Extreme Iceflame,' and now with Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing guarding nearby, the two eventually left the scene with a cold snort.
As for where they went, what they did, no one knew.
However, after Yang Yun and Yang Yan left, two pieces of news spread throughout the entire Nine Suns Ancient Land, causing a great stir among all the surviving explorers.
One of the news was that Qin Feng from the "Divine Dragon Mountain," a notable Upper God King from the four major forces, was killed by a True God named "Ye Chen."
The death of the renowned Qin Feng at the hands of a True God naturally caused a huge uproar in the entire Nine Suns Ancient Land.
The other piece of news shocked all the martial artists in the Nine Suns Ancient Land and even astonished the Earth Divine Venerables stationed there by the Southern Territory King Mansion, as it was simply unbelievable.
The second message being circulated claimed that the First Goddess of the younger generation of the Divine Kingdom, the First Goddess of the Supreme Divine Institute, Long Li, had also formed an intimate relationship with Ye Chen, the True God who had killed Qin Feng!
