CHAPTER 1187: CHAPTER 1126: ANCIENT PEACE PAVILION
The words of the four Peak Lords stirred Ye Chen’s mind and spirit.
"Is that ’Nine Bends Demon Realm’ the Land of Wonders in the Sea of Exile, apart from the Abyss, where opportunities can most likely manifest?"
"Are there any restrictions on entering this place?"
Ye Chen asked the four Masters.
If it truly is a Land of Wonders, Ye Chen is quite interested in taking a look inside.
"There are no restrictions," the four Masters replied to Ye Chen.
"Anyone who has the ability to enter the Nine Bends Demon Realm can venture inside."
"However, having no restrictions is the greatest restriction."
The four Peak Lords’ expressions grew calm as they spoke.
"Precisely because there are no restrictions, when the Nine Bends Demon Realm is truly accessible, it’s feared that countless people in the Inner Sea of the Sea of Exile will want to venture inside, and by then, the number of people gathered within will be countless."
"Of course, we will not concern ourselves with weaker individuals at the peak level of mastery. But at that time, it’s very likely that many Cosmic Emperors will enter the Nine Bends Demon Realm, and if by chance they offend the Cosmic Emperor level figures, it will be extremely dangerous for us."
"This is also why we need to team up to venture into the Nine Bends Demon Realm."
"Moreover, it’s very likely that not only Cosmic Emperors, but several hidden Star Lord level figures from the Sea of Exile might also enter the Nine Bends Demon Realm!"
"The numerous powerful beings alone will bring numerous threats."
"Not to mention the dangers inherent to the Nine Bends Demon Realm itself!"
As the four Peak Lords finished speaking, their countenances became unsettled.
Clearly, they have no absolute certainty about the rewards from venturing into the Nine Bends Demon Realm.
"Cosmic Emperors and even Star Lord level figures are going to enter the Nine Bends Demon Realm?!" It’s not just the four Peak Lords whose hearts are not calm; Ye Chen was equally shocked after hearing these words.
Although Ye Chen already knew that there were Star Lords in the Inner Sea of the Sea of Exile, even in the Abyss.
But to truly venture together into a place, it would definitely be a first for Ye Chen.
Up until now, apart from having seen his own senior sister, a genuine Star Lord, Ye Chen had never encountered other Star Lords.
If venturing into the Nine Bends Demon Realm means encountering other Star Lords?!
This possibility filled Ye Chen’s heart with immense shock.
If he encountered a real Star Lord, Ye Chen’s own combat power would be far from sufficient. Even with the possessions of that peak Cosmic Emperor, he is definitely not a match for Star Lord level powerholders!
Encountering threats from Star Lords would absolutely pose a threat to Ye Chen’s life!
And it’s not just Star Lords.
Cosmic Emperors within the Sea of Exile could also pose countless threats to Ye Chen.
Even with the possessions and treasures of the Cosmic Emperor on him, Ye Chen could not completely contend against innumerable Cosmic Emperors.
After all, many Cosmic Emperors likely possess Star Lord level combat power and treasures as well!
Dealing with them would not be as simple as dealing with Masters.
"It seems that if we truly venture into the Nine Bends Demon Realm, we mustn’t be too conspicuous, but quietly reap the rewards. If something goes wrong, preserving life is paramount!"
Ye Chen contemplated within.
Although the Nine Bends Demon Realm appears extremely dangerous, Ye Chen is certainly unwilling to forgo this adventurous opportunity.
After all, if even Star Lord level figures might venture inside, one can only imagine the precious opportunities within the Nine Bends Demon Realm.
Since he came to the Sea of Exile, Ye Chen certainly does not want to miss such an opportunity!
Danger?
In the path of cultivation, where would there be no danger?
If danger means giving up, Ye Chen would never have grown to this extent!
Cautious response is key.
But absolutely should not be intimidated!
One must not be afraid to forge ahead!
"When will the Nine Bends Demon Realm open, and in which territory?"
After pondering for a moment, Ye Chen voiced his inquiry to the four Peak Lords.
Upon hearing Ye Chen’s inquiry, the four knew that Ye Chen was decided on venturing into the Nine Bends Demon Realm.
"Friend, the Nine Bends Demon Realm will truly open in over three months, allowing adventurers to enter safely. Yet the specific timing remains uncertain, it depends on the evolution of the formation outside the Nine Bends Demon Realm. If you wish to enter, be sure to wait at the territory three months later, ready to enter as soon as it opens."
"We’ll detail the specific territory of the Nine Bends Demon Realm in the Jade Slip for your reference."
The four Peak Lords respectfully addressed Ye Chen.
Looking somewhat expectantly at Ye Chen, they added, "Friend, if you truly intend to venture into the Nine Bends Demon Realm, you might consider forming a team with us. Together—us four Peak Lords and you—might not dominate entirely, but we would have a considerable advantage in handling basic crises."
Ye Chen, after all, is an extraordinary figure able to slay Zhulong and two other Peak Lords.
In the eyes of the four Peak Lords, Ye Chen’s combat power is simply terrifying, even more so than many Cosmic Emperors.
They naturally hope Ye Chen would team up with them.
Seeing their expectant eyes, Ye Chen did not commit either way: "As for teaming up, let’s see how things unfold. Three months is unpredictable; if I do need teammates, I’ll consider your offer."
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the expressions on the four people’s faces clearly showed disappointment.
However, since Ye Chen didn’t completely refuse, there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
When the Master who engraved the Sea of Exile’s land of opportunities finished engraving many things, this Peak Lord respectfully handed the Jade Slip to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen placed the Jade Slip against his forehead.
Upon seeing the Jade Slip explaining numerous opportunity spots in the Sea of Exile, as well as descriptions of the Nine Bends Demon Realm, and even information about many famous regions within the Sea of Exile compiled in the Jade Slip by the Peak Lord, Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, this Jade Slip is very useful to me. I will accept it."
"To the four fellow Daoists wishing for me to resolve the matters of Zhulong and the other two, please do not spread the news recklessly; otherwise, I do not mind having a good talk with you again."
With that said, Ye Chen did not wait for the four to respond and disappeared from the spot.
Leaving behind the trembling four Peak Lords.
The four already understood the meaning behind Ye Chen’s final words: if they dared to speak carelessly, their lives spared by Ye Chen this time would surely be ended the next time he approached them.
Next time, their survival would be impossible.
"The events here must not be spread recklessly!"
The four Peak Lords exchanged a glance, and without needing a leader, each made a vow from the heart.
Only then did they leave with complicated expressions.
With Zhulong’s death, their plan to team up was shattered. Whether Ye Chen would team up with them remained uncertain, so the four naturally had to make other preparations.
Let’s not discuss how they acted.
After flying away from the area where Zhulong and the others were killed, several breaths later, Ye Chen appeared in another region.
Then, Ye Chen took another look at the Jade Slip.
Following which, Ye Chen transformed into a dazzling rainbow and disappeared directly over the vast sea.
...
Half a month later.
Ancient Jade Island.
This island is one of the most renowned islands within the Inner Sea of the Sea of Exile.
Ancient Jade Island is famous due to two things associated with it.
The first is the presence of a natural ancient jade on this island.
This jade, known as Ancient Profound Jade, is rumored to greatly aid in enhancing and breaking through realms, particularly beneficial for lower realm advancements.
Of course, this exceedingly precious Ancient Profound Jade and even the mines producing the jade have long been monopolized by major powers of the Sea of Exile.
Xuan Feng Sect.
It is the owner of the most precious Ancient Profound Jade mines on Ancient Jade Island.
Rumor has it that the sect leader of Xuan Feng Sect is a Cosmic Emperor level being, undeniably a tyrant within the Sea of Exile!
The other famous entity on Ancient Jade Island is "Ancient Peace Pavilion."
"Ancient Peace Pavilion" specializes in running auctions, with influence spanning across major regions of the Sea of Exile, and is rumored to be backed by Cosmic Emperor level figures.
If truly counted, Ancient Peace Pavilion might even be stronger than Xuan Feng Sect.
However, the two powers have different operational focuses, and since Ancient Jade Island is only one of the eight major branch sites of Ancient Peace Pavilion, the two forces can coexist peacefully.
Because both the Ancient Profound Jade and Ancient Peace Pavilion exist on Ancient Jade Island.
Thus, Ancient Jade Island also becomes one of the most populated regions in the Inner Sea.
Especially when the annual auction conference of Ancient Peace Pavilion is about to begin, the flow of people to Ancient Jade Island peaks, even leading to Xuan Feng Sect and Ancient Peace Pavilion jointly managing entry restrictions at the island’s entrance.
People with too low a realm even lose the qualification to enter Ancient Jade Island during this period.
Today.
A figure suddenly flew near Ancient Jade Island.
This figure was none other than Ye Chen.
"Halt!"
At the northeast entrance, one of the eight entrances of Ancient Jade Island, a Divine Master directly blocked the flying Ye Chen.
Ye Chen extended his hand, revealing a golden token that appeared in his hand.
Upon seeing this golden token and realizing Ye Chen was merely in the Immortal Divine Venerable Realm, the blocking Divine Master showed a surprised expression.
However, the Divine Master dared not say much.
After all, the Divine Master responsible for guarding the northeast entrance knew that the golden token was Ancient Peace Pavilion’s most prized guest badge, which allows freedom of entry into various regions and all levels of auction conferences of Ancient Peace Pavilion. This token undoubtedly grants access to Ancient Jade Island.
Even though Ye Chen’s realm was very low, this Divine Master dared not obstruct him.
"Please proceed."
After verifying the token in Ye Chen’s hand, the Divine Master respectfully returned it and opened the entrance to Ancient Jade Island.
"It seems the item given by that young lass truly works well."
Recalling the person he met days ago, Ye Chen smiled as he murmured to himself and then flew directly through the entrance towards Ancient Jade Island.
