275: Chapter 275 The Terrifying Effects of the Holy Spirit Pill! Heaven and Earth Grieve Once Again!

"Sculpt golden statues and offer worship in all the towns and villages of the Wutian Kingdom?"

Ye Chen looked surprised upon hearing this.

This sounded oddly embarrassing, didn't it?

Just the thought of his golden statue being surrounded and observed by countless people made him shudder.

How was this any different from locking up a monkey and watching it perform?

Thinking of this, Ye Chen waved his hands repeatedly, rejecting the proposal.

"No, no, absolutely not. There is no need for any golden statues."

"By now, all the citizens in the Wutian Kingdom should already be aware of my existence."

"There is no need to go through such unnecessary trouble to build golden statues; it's not just a waste of money and resources, but also time and effort."

"I certainly do not want to be revered on the surface only to be despised behind my back."

Upon hearing these words from Ye Chen, the respect in the eyes of Ancestor Su Wanhe and Su Qianqi grew even more intense.

As expected of the Young Master; his thoughts were far more considerate than theirs.

Indeed, if they were to sculpt golden statues throughout the entire country, it would have to be implemented in every single village.

The financial cost would be a terrifying figure, and the Wutian Kingdom would inevitably suffer greatly.

The common people of the Wutian Kingdom would also face increased taxes because of this, and their lives, which had just started to improve, would become impoverished once again.

In this regard, their thinking had indeed been a bit inconsiderate; thanks to the Young Master for pointing it out!

"We shall strictly obey the Young Master's decree!"

Ye Chen glanced at the grandfather and grandson duo, feeling somewhat speechless.

He had a feeling that even if he forbade the sculpting of golden statues, these two fellows would still come up with something else.

As for what exactly it would be, he couldn't quite guess.

But he was certain they wouldn't just sit still and do nothing.

Of this, he was absolutely certain!

However, these were minor matters, and Ye Chen did not take them too much to heart.

His Divine Soul power surged out, sensing the situation in the surroundings, and only after confirming there were no threats did he retract his perception.

"There should be no unexpected situations occurring within the day."

"You two just need to continue with your daily routines."

"I have other matters to attend to, so I will go and Cultivate now."

After speaking, without waiting for their reply, he took a step and vanished from the spot.

After devouring Quasi-Emperor Cheng Kun, a constant stream of energy had been pouring into his body.

He had been suppressing it, not wanting to raise his Cultivation Base, but now he could barely hold it back any longer.

Having devoured a Peak 3rd-tier Quasi-Emperor powerhouse, this time it would certainly allow his Cultivation Base to rise once again.

It was just as well that he wanted to test the medicinal efficacy of the top-grade Saint-tier Spirit Pill he had refined earlier!

Watching Ye Chen leave, Ancestor Su Wanhe and Su Qianqi's faces were filled with reverence.

"The Young Master is already so powerful, yet he still Cultivates so diligently; he is truly a role model for us."

"As people trusted by the Young Master, we cannot fall too far behind!"

Having said that, the grandfather and grandson looked at each other, both revealing firm expressions.

Without wasting time, they left the palace one after another to attend to their own affairs.

The vast Wutian Kingdom was currently at a critical node of reform.

There were too many things that required them to do personally and decisions that needed them to make.

As for the threats from other Immortal Lineages, they didn't take them to heart at all.

Since the Young Master had already said there would be no trouble today, there would definitely be no trouble today!

Inside an idle palace, Ye Chen sat cross-legged, with numerous Spirit Pills floating around his body.

The Supreme Law · Chaos Art was running at full power, refining the massive energy within his body.

Rich Spiritual Qi dispersed, making the entire palace appear like an immortal's blessed land.

Within his Universe in the Sleeve, he continued to refine, and a constant stream of pure energy poured into his body.

From time to time, his lips parted slightly to swallow numerous top-grade Spirit Pills.

Facts proved that the top-grade Saint-tier Spirit Pills had miraculous effects on Cultivation.

It made Ye Chen's speed of obtaining energy for a Breakthrough nearly twice as fast.

Do not underestimate this doubling of energy acquisition speed; it was equivalent to him devouring another Quasi-Emperor powerhouse!

"Boom!"

At a certain moment, powerful Spiritual Qi fluctuations shook Ye Chen's body, and a terrifying pressure erupted.

His Spiritual Qi Cultivation Base broke through to the 6th level of the Saint King Realm!

Even so, the increase in his Spiritual Qi Cultivation Base did not stop there.

It wasn't just his Spiritual Qi Cultivation Base; his Physical Body and Divine Soul Cultivation were also facing a qualitative improvement.

These two cultivation aspects had already approached the Perfection of the Saint King Realm, nearing the threshold of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Now, having received the energy of a Quasi-Emperor powerhouse and the assistance of massive amounts of top-grade Saint-tier Spirit Pills.

Vaguely, he had already stepped half a foot into the Quasi-Emperor Realm!

While Ye Chen was refining energy and breaking through his Cultivation Base, a new turmoil arose within the Wutian Prefecture.

Under the publicity of the Wutian Kingdom, the news of the death of the Imperial Clan Cheng Family's last Quasi-Emperor powerhouse, Quasi-Emperor Cheng Kun, spread rapidly across the entire Wutian Prefecture.

Furthermore, the identity and background of the person who killed Quasi-Emperor Cheng Kun were also exposed one by one.

For a time, countless living beings within the Wutian Prefecture were shocked beyond measure.

Quasi-Emperor Cheng Ye of the Cheng Family had not died long ago, and now the Cheng Family's second Quasi-Emperor had also fallen.

With two consecutive Quasi-Emperor powerhouses fallen, the Imperial Clan Cheng Family no longer had any Quasi-Emperor powerhouses to oversee it.

Of course, there were also living beings in the Wutian Prefecture who remained skeptical of this news.

After all, Quasi-Emperor Cheng Kun of the Cheng Family was a veteran Quasi-Emperor powerhouse who had ascended to the Quasi-Emperor Realm ten thousand years ago.

He was among the first batch of Quasi-Emperor powerhouses born in their Wutian Prefecture after the collapse of the Wutian Empire.

How could such a veteran Quasi-Emperor powerhouse fall so easily?

But soon, these skeptical living beings of the Wutian Prefecture shut their mouths.

Because, above the infinitely high firmament within the vast Wutian Prefecture, another blood rain descended.

Heaven and Earth Mourns, the return of Heaven and Earth Mourns!

This was a phenomenon of heaven and earth that only appeared when a Quasi-Emperor powerhouse fell!

The arrival of Heaven and Earth Mourns at this time meant that a Quasi-Emperor powerhouse had truly fallen in the Wutian Prefecture!

After Quasi-Emperor Cheng Ye fell, Heaven and Earth Mourns appeared, and blood rain filled the entire Wutian Prefecture.

That rain of blood lasted for a long time before gradually dissipating, allowing the Wutian Prefecture to return to normal.

But the previous blood rain had not long disappeared before a new one descended.

The Quasi-Emperor powerhouse who fell this time was also a Quasi-Emperor from the Imperial Clan Cheng Family.

And the one who killed these two Quasi-Emperor powerhouses was actually the same person.

It was the guardian powerhouse of the Wutian Kingdom, and also the peerless powerhouse who wiped out the Imperial Clan Jin Clan, an Immortal Lineage.

The sky of the Wutian Prefecture was truly unpredictable; the Imperial Clan Cheng Family was likely going to be exterminated!

Inside a palace within the Void Realm layer.

Five Quasi-Emperor powerhouses from the Imperial Clan Xuan Family and the Imperial Clan Bai Family had just finished their discussion when they received this news.

These five, now the only five remaining Quasi-Emperor powerhouses in the Wutian Prefecture, could not help but look at each other.

Plans truly could not keep up with changes; what they had just discussed would likely not be effective.

Ye Chen's strength was even more powerful than they had anticipated.

Even if they implemented their plan now and swarmed him, it would be difficult to kill Ye Chen.

They might even be counter-attacked by Ye Chen, losing one or two of their own Quasi-Emperor powerhouses.

None of them wanted to be that fallen Quasi-Emperor powerhouse, and they all began to hesitate.

Quasi-Emperor Cheng Kun was a Peak 3rd-tier Quasi-Emperor powerhouse, considered strong even among them.

Yet, after going to the capital of the Wutian Kingdom, he couldn't even last for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before being killed in the firmament.

Such powerful strength was something none of them could achieve, even if they all swarmed him together!

Xuan Ji's expression changed constantly, and finally, with a ruthless look, she said in a deep voice.

"Everyone, perhaps we... need to call for reinforcements!"

Call for reinforcements!

Hearing these words, the eyes of the other Quasi-Emperor powerhouses lit up.

It wasn't just these Immortal Lineages in the Wutian Prefecture that had besieged the Wutian Empire back then.

Now that the Wutian Kingdom showed signs of a resurgence, it was indeed time for them to call for reinforcements.

They should call for reinforcements from the Immortal Lineages in other regions and gather more Quasi-Emperor combat power.

They did not believe that by gathering ten or more Quasi-Emperor powerhouses, they still couldn't kill that guardian powerhouse of the Wutian Kingdom!

"That would be excellent!"
