160: Chapter 160 Departure, the Land of the Xuan Tian Saint King's Inheritance

Gu Lingtian felt a wave of emotion as he recalled the scene of his battle with Ye Chen back in East State City.

At that time, he was still able to fight Ye Chen on equal terms—at least, that was how it appeared on the surface.

If he were to fight Ye Chen again now, he felt his end would not be much better than that of the fellow from the Blood Martial Empire.

When Ye Chen fought him back then, the man hadn't even exerted his full strength.

The most cunning part was that Ye Chen had acted as if he were enjoying himself and putting in a lot of effort.

To think that back then, he actually believed Ye Chen was only a few levels superior to him.

Ye Chen must never be made an enemy, and the same went for the Mountain River Holy Land behind him!

Gu Lingtian seemed to have thought of something, and a look of unprecedented determination appeared in his eyes.

He knew what his father, Gu Yuan, was thinking; he was quite wary of the alliance between the Mountain River Holy Land and the Wanxiang Holy Land.

He was even prepared to take some measures to suppress such uncontrollable factors.

Previously, Gu Lingtian had maintained a tacit attitude toward this, neither supporting nor opposing it.

But now, after the North Heaven Province Assembly concluded, he had to have a proper talk with his father.

He had a premonition that if their East State Empire's Imperial Family opposed Ye Chen, the consequences would be miserable!

Beside him, Gu Li's eyes were filled with excitement and fanaticism; he wasn't thinking about anything else at all.

He couldn't understand things that were too complicated, nor was he willing to think about them.

He only knew that this time, under Ye Chen's leadership, their East State Empire was bound to reclaim the first place.

They were going to take the first place in the North Heaven Province Assembly, something the East State Empire hadn't achieved in over a thousand years!

Luo Cheng, Wan Lei, Mu Qiong, and the other Holy Land Prodigies watched Ye Chen, equally convinced and impressed.

Before, in their East State Empire, if there was any debate over who was the number one Prodigy of the younger generation...

Then now, there was no longer any controversy.

They might argue over second place, but for the first, only Ye Chen was worthy!

Ye Chen didn't pay much attention to everyone's gazes.

Feeling the cultivation energy continuously fed back to him by the Universe in the Sleeve Divine Ability, he felt wonderful.

After a night had passed, his cultivation had improved significantly once again, reaching the Peak of the third level of the Profound Void Realm.

The one who contributed the most to this was Gao Kuang, whom he had slain in the early hours of the morning.

It had to be said that Gao Kuang truly lived up to being a First-Class Saint Body; his cultivation foundation was more than several times stronger than other Prodigies.

Now, as long as he calmed his mind to Cultivate for an hour or two, he could naturally complete a new Breakthrough.

Of course, once he finished refining the remaining Prodigies of the Blood Martial Empire, he could successfully break through to the fourth level of the Profound Void Realm.

He had only been inside for one day, yet he had broken through two minor Realms in succession, and his strength had more than tripled.

By the time he left the Xuantian Secret Realm, his strength would surely undergo a comprehensive transformation!

“Phew!”

Ye Chen exhaled a long breath of turbid Qi and raised his palm, where the Sword Intent danced above it.

It constantly emitted the aura of Sword Intent at the ten-percent Peak level of comprehension.

“A pity. To pursue efficiency, I didn't have a real battle, so my Sword Intent still hasn't broken through.”

“It seems the Breakthrough of my Sword Intent can only rely on those fellows from the Heavenly Dragon Empire.”

“The overall strength of the Heavenly Dragon Empire far exceeds other dynasties; I hope they can give me some surprises.”

After speaking, he dispersed the Sword Intent in his palm and glanced at the many Prodigies of the East State Empire.

Seeing this, the many Prodigies of the East State Empire all gathered their thoughts and waited for Ye Chen's next command.

Their East State Empire had now killed and eliminated all twelve people from the Blood Martial Empire.

In other words, in addition to the single point they originally possessed, the East State Empire now had twelve extra points.

As long as this score could be maintained until the end without being stolen...

While it might not guarantee first place, a guaranteed second place was certainly no problem.

They just didn't know what Ye Chen's next plan was.

Steeling himself, a serious expression appeared on Ye Chen's face.

“Yesterday, while hunting the Prodigies of the Blood Martial Empire, I discovered several places of Opportunity.”

“I have already shared the locations of these places with you. Today, you can form teams to go to these sites.”

“You can Cultivate peacefully for a day, or you can come with me to the Legacy site of Saint King Xuantian.”

“Regardless of what you choose, I will be heading to the Legacy site of Saint King Xuantian next to seize his Legacy.”

“I wonder, Fellow Daoists, what is your choice?”

Although he was the leader this time, he could not force his ideas on others.

Those fellows from the Blood Martial Empire indeed had good luck.

They had found several cultivation sites that could enhance one's Concept and Profound Truth power.

He had originally intended to go there together today, but plans change.

What he needed to visit most now was not those places of Opportunity, but the Legacy site of Saint King Xuantian!

Go to the Legacy site of Saint King Xuantian to seize the Legacy?

Hearing Ye Chen's words, most of the Prodigies like Ye Wushang and Gu Lingtian showed a look of understanding.

Indeed, since they had entered the Xuantian Secret Realm, they naturally had to try their luck at the Saint King's Legacy site.

If one could obtain a Saint King's Legacy, their future cultivation would be smooth sailing.

They could all understand why Ye Chen wanted to spend a day in the Xuantian Secret Realm for this.

Thinking this, the many Prodigies of the East State Empire couldn't help but exchange glances.

Go to a place of Opportunity, or go with Ye Chen to the Legacy site of Saint King Xuantian?

Did they even need to struggle with such a simple question?

As if sharing a telepathic connection, smiles appeared on the lips of all the East State Empire Prodigies as they said in unison.

“Fellow Daoist Ye Chen, wherever you go, we shall follow!”

“We of the East State Empire shall advance and retreat together!”

Setting aside the fact that if they went to the Opportunity sites alone, they would very likely encounter people from the Heavenly Dragon Empire and be eliminated.

Being eliminated was one thing, but if it affected the East State Empire's chance at first place, they would be massive sinners.

Moreover, Ye Chen wanted to attempt the Saint King's Legacy trial—weren't they the same?

They were all of the younger generation, all monstrous Prodigies with exceptional talent.

Though they were convinced by Ye Chen, they ultimately wanted to strive for their own future!

Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled as expected and waved his hand.

“Good! Since you Fellow Daoists are willing to walk with me, then let us set off together... to the Legacy site!”

With a wave of his hand, space was directly torn open, revealing a massive gap.

Ye Chen did not delay for a moment and was the first to enter.

Ye Wushang, Gu Lingtian, and the other Prodigies of the East State Empire did not hesitate either, following him inside one after another.

The Legacy of Saint King Xuantian had stood in the North Heaven Province for thousands, even tens of thousands of years.

With this opening of the Xuantian Secret Realm, this powerful Saint King's Legacy might finally have a new master!
