CHAPTER 1192: CHAPTER 1131: FRENZIED BREAKTHROUGH

Amid countless admiring gazes, Ye Chen stepped into the Xuan Feng Sect’s mountain gate.

The mountain gate of the Xuan Feng Sect had evidently been refined with special spatial divine skills. From the outside, the gate seemed merely to stand at the foot of a giant mountain.

But upon entering the gate, Ye Chen saw that stretched before him were layers of endless divine mountains, with seas of clouds hidden among them.

The true domain of the Xuan Feng Sect was countless times larger than it appeared from the outside!

"Sir, you wish to enter the second level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain to cultivate, please follow me."

As soon as Ye Chen entered the gate of the Xuan Feng Sect, a beautiful maid flew over to him, introducing various aspects of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain while leading the way.

This maid, though a maid, was in the God King realm, which might seem unimpressive in the vast Sea of Exile, but in an ordinary Divine Kingdom, she would be a renowned figure.

Of course, there are many people entering the Xuan Feng Sect to cultivate; it’s not possible for everyone to have a maid to guide them.

Only those entering the first and second levels of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain for cultivation are afforded this privilege.

Along the way, as she led the way, the beautiful maid observed Ye Chen.

"This gentleman is so young."

"He is only in the Immortal Divine Venerable realm, yet he wishes to enter the second level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain to cultivate, and he has spent thirty billion currency to cultivate there for a month!"

"Such a magnitude of spirit is beyond even many Masters."

"What is the background of this young gentleman?!"

Ye Chen possessed an extraordinary aura, his eyes were incredibly bright, and even though he was only in the Immortal Divine Venerable realm, the beautiful maid felt a stirring within her heart.

In fact, as she spoke with Ye Chen, her fair face blushed slightly.

Yet, of course.

At this moment, Ye Chen had no time to pay attention to this beautiful maid.

He had seen countless beauties.

The most exceptional, like Jiang Yao and Long Li, had an incredibly close relationship with Ye Chen.

This was but a small maid of the Xuan Feng Sect, why would Ye Chen waste time to take another glance?

At this moment, Ye Chen’s entire mind and spirit were focused on the cultivation that was about to commence.

"This cultivation opportunity is the most precious one before entering the Nine Bends Demon Realm."

"The Nine Bends Demon Realm is extremely risky, and before venturing there, every method possible must be enhanced to its utmost."

"Only then can there be a great harvest in the Nine Bends Demon Realm, only then can there be greater assurance of returning to the Primal Beginning Universe to see Yao’er and Li’er again!"

Currently, though Ye Chen had numerous methods, the pressure was immense.

The stronger the methods, the more formidable experts Ye Chen encountered.

Especially after interacting with many Masters, although Ye Chen could slay them, it was only by relying on the power of divine treasures. Based purely on Ye Chen’s own strength, it was still far from enough.

And Ye Chen was thoroughly dissatisfied with this perpetual reliance on external artifacts!

After all, external things are just that—external. What you can truly rely on is yourself!

If faced with a formidable Cosmic Emperor or even Star Lord, whose divine treasure is stronger than his, then what?

Moreover, to return to the Primal Beginning Universe, relying on the divine treasures at hand is not enough; it requires the enhancement of one’s own realm to have hope.

Currently, the Immortal Divine Venerable realm is already too lacking!

"Whether it’s to return to the Primal Beginning Universe for Yao’er and Li’er, to find them."

"Or for the sake of my senior sister and Zi Ji Star Lord, facing the threat of the Starry Sky Demons, strength must be elevated swiftly!"

"I have now broken through three layers of shackles, reaching the pinnacle of the Immortal Divine Venerable realm, and am prepared for a breakthrough into the Supreme Sovereign Realm. And breaking through to the Sovereign Realm, if prepared well, can swiftly advance several minor realms. After the Stellar Domain Genius Battle, many broke directly from the Immortal Divine Venerable to the two-star or three-star Sovereign."

"I too must push far into the Sovereign Realm!"

"And all my major methods... the Primordial Star Scripture Tai Yu Chapter, the three Heaven-Earth Innate Divine Methods—Stellar Terrestrial Spin, Chaotic Heavenly Divine Light, Immortal Spirit Seed, as well as the Heavenly Sword Divine Art, Great Sun Pitha Divine Sound, etc., all need cultivation!"

"A month might not be enough!"

"It depends on the specific circumstances of cultivation on the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain!"

Ye Chen thought to himself.

"Sir, we have arrived at the second-level domain of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain. You may choose a cave abode for cultivation as you wish."

As Ye Chen’s mind was racing, the voice of the guiding maid reached his ears.

Ye Chen followed the direction indicated by the beautiful maid.

Upon seeing, Ye Chen took a deep breath.

What a magnificent sight!

Looking into the void from where Ye Chen stood, he could see a vast white sea of clouds towering ahead, with several huge light spheres crafted by the Cosmic Emperors of Xuan Feng Sect, resembling suns, above it, radiating ten thousand beams of light, illuminating the entire sea of clouds, causing it to emit rainbow-like divine light.

And looking deeper into the sea of clouds, layers of continuous divine mountains stood ahead, like a fairyland.

The sea of clouds merely hung around the waist of those divine mountains; the mountain peaks looked like pillars propping up the sky.

Along the way, Ye Chen had also heard the maid introducing.

This cultivation realm had formations naturally formed, as well as those later crafted by the Cosmic Emperors of the Xuan Feng Sect.

The fourth-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain, the worst, bears heavy traces of human carving.

But the first-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain, the best, is truly naturally formed, even located above the finest Ancient Profound Jade mines.

At this moment, although Ye Chen could not enter the first-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain, which only the Cosmic Emperor could access, the second-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain was no less extraordinary.

Every peak here could be described as an unparalleled cultivation divine land in the Inner Sea of the Sea of Exile.

Don’t be deceived by the countless divine mountains ahead; only a few hundred cultivation cave abodes are the most precious.

Moreover, many cave abodes have already been occupied, and some people have begun cultivating.

Only one hundred cave abodes were open this day by Ye Chen.

The remaining cultivation opportunities are even more rare.

As Ye Chen gazed at the Sea of Clouds Divine Mountain before him, a beautiful maid handed a jade plaque to him.

"Sir, this jade plaque is the Restriction Jade Plaque for entering the cultivation cave abode," the beautiful maid explained to Ye Chen. "Only by entering the abode with this jade plaque can one avoid triggering the defense prohibition within."

"Sir, you have paid the cultivation fee for one month; the jade plaque also records one month of cultivation time. Within this month, sir, you can freely cultivate inside the cave abode."

"Of course, after one month, if sir does not provide a new cultivation fee, the abode’s prohibition will automatically expel sir. So, if sir wishes to continue cultivating inside, please inform me, of the Xuan Feng Sect, in advance to extend the jade plaque time."

"The method to inform in advance, and the method to enter the cave abode, are all recorded on the jade plaque. Sir only needs to explore with your Divine Sense to know."

After explaining, the beautiful maid stood obediently beside Ye Chen, ready to answer any further questions he might have.

Ye Chen did not ask much; he simply nodded before placing the jade plaque against his forehead.

After a few moments, Ye Chen understood many rules about cultivating on the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain.

Ye Chen had entered many such cultivation lands before, and although the rules inside were different, the general procedures were quite similar.

"Alright, since I can choose the cave abode myself, I’ll proceed to make my choice now."

"Thank you for your assistance along the way."

Ye Chen said directly to the beautiful maid.

The beautiful maid did not expect Ye Chen to have no inclination to speak more with her, directly issuing an order to leave.

In such a situation, the beautiful maid dared not waste any more of Ye Chen’s time.

She hurriedly said to Ye Chen, "Since sir understands, then this servant will take her leave. If sir has any requirements, just follow the contact method on the jade plaque to inform this servant."

Ye Chen nodded, and the beautiful maid gracefully departed.

Ye Chen looked ahead, took a step, and directly stepped into the vast sea of clouds.

With another step, he was already among the peaks of the divine mountains.

Those divine mountain cave abodes already occupied for cultivation emitted prohibition lights of different colors, making them easy to identify.

After flying around the divine mountains, Ye Chen chose a masterless cave abode at the outer edge.

This was a cave abode hidden among three divine mountains.

Upon entering the range of the cave abode, Ye Chen felt a rich divine energy permeating his entire body.

This divine energy was far more precious and special than countless other cultivation divine lands, a divine energy Ye Chen had never experienced before.

"The aura of Ancient Profound Jade!"

Ye Chen immediately understood.

In this aura, Ye Chen felt all the divine power in him become much more active, even the bottleneck for a breakthrough seemed to loosen.

This happened even before he truly began cultivating, which truly indicated that the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain was an incredible cultivation divine land!

Ye Chen, of course, did not want to waste too much time outside.

One month’s time had already been counting since he entered the cave abode’s range, and he must hurry!

Ye Chen flew directly to the entrance of the cave abode, pointed with the jade plaque in his hand, and the door of the cave abode opened wide. Ye Chen stepped into the cave abode.

As Ye Chen stepped into the cave abode, the divine mountain area where it was located immediately changed its color.

This meant someone had occupied this place!

The cave abode Ye Chen entered was vast, spanning tens of thousands of zhang; at its center were three special cultivation divine platforms made of Ancient Profound Jade.

Through the jade plaque, Ye Chen had already learned that these three Ancient Profound Jade cultivation divine platforms were respectively: Realm Breakthrough Divine Platform, Divine Skills Breakthrough Divine Platform, and Divine Sense Comprehension Platform.

Each had its unique marvelous uses!

Ye Chen did not immediately enter the divine platforms to cultivate, but sat cross-legged in the cave abode, beginning to keenly sense things.

The first thing Ye Chen cultivated was the Primordial Star Scripture’s Tai Yu Chapter!

He operated the cultivation method of the Tai Yu Chapter to sense the Space Star Aperture here!

The Tai Yu Chapter, written by Zi Ji Star Lord, was a supreme secret skill, fundamentally beyond the range of what the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain’s Divine Skill Breakthrough Platform could reinforce, so Ye Chen did not intend to cultivate this method on the Divine Skill Breakthrough Platform.

In the Chaotic Heavenly Hall, Ye Chen had already successfully completed the first extreme of the Tai Yu Chapter, having even grasped the means of Spatial Rift.

At this time, looking into Ye Chen’s Origin Star Aperture, one could see that he had accumulated countless Origin Star Apertures, soon to undergo a transformation to the second extreme!

During this period, Ye Chen traveled across various domains of the Sea of Exile, simultaneously walking and sensing the Space Star Aperture, accumulating the Origin Star Apertures within him.

Now, the time had come to break through the Origin Star Aperture once again!
