CHAPTER 1195: CHAPTER 1134: THE AUCTION CONFERENCE ARRIVES

Feeling the descent of a fivefold Divine Tribulation from the Cosmic Sea, Ye Chen, trapped in the breakthrough space of his Cultivation Cave Abode, flashed Divine Light in his eyes.

There was not a trace of fear in his gaze; instead, there was an indescribable joy.

"Fivefold Divine Tribulation!"

"As long as I get through it!"

"I can step into the Five-Star Sovereign Realm in one fell swoop!"

Ye Chen has been waiting to become a Sovereign for so long, so very long.

Since he learned about the existence of the Sovereign Realm in the Minor Pole Sky, and when he encountered Sovereign-level powers like the old East Territory King Ku Du in the Minor Spirit Realm, Ye Chen had been longing for this day.

Now, the moment he could reach this realm himself had finally arrived!

Boom!

After taking a deep breath, Ye Chen flew directly toward the even more terrifying fivefold Divine Tribulation.

In an instant, his entire being was completely engulfed by the endless Divine Tribulation.

Day by day passed.

In the Xuan Feng Sect, people constantly completed their cultivation at the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain and left.

New people continuously entered the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain to cultivate.

Even top young figures from the Sea of Exile, such as Tianli Weiwei and Situ Lianchi, entered the second level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain where Ye Chen was, to cultivate during the wait for the Ancient Peace Pavilion auction.

However, both only cultivated briefly, mainly to experience the effects of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain.

Soon, they both left the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain one after the other.

But regardless of who left or entered, Ye Chen’s Cultivation Cave Abode remained silent.

Ye Chen continued his cultivation within the cave abode.

One month passed quickly.

Ye Chen, however, paid for an additional twelve days of cultivation just before his time was due.

Calculating this time, Ye Chen’s entire cultivation duration in the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain amounted to a full forty-two days, with a staggering cost of forty-two billion.

Moreover, a day after the forty-two days passed, the Ancient Peace Pavilion auction would officially begin.

Ye Chen planned to continue cultivating right up until the eve of the auction!

The breakthrough in realm during Ye Chen’s frenzied cultivation only took seven days.

In seven days, Ye Chen successfully overcame the fivefold Divine Tribulation from the Cosmic Sea and reached the Five-Star Sovereign level!

For the remaining time, Ye Chen used it all to stabilize his realm and cultivate various techniques!

When the entire forty-two days of cultivation were finally about to end, Ye Chen opened his eyes from a meditative state in the second-level cave abode of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain.

Whoosh.

In the instant Ye Chen opened his eyes, Divine Light shot out from them, illuminating the void!

Boom!

Ye Chen first extended his right hand.

In the moment his Divine Sense activated, the Divine Power within him instantly transformed into waves of Divine Flame, appearing in his palm.

This was a golden Divine Power!

Entirely different from the Divine Power Ye Chen had cultivated before.

This contained the aura of the Cosmic Sea, transformed from the Divine Tribulation Power Ye Chen summoned from passing through the Cosmic Sea.

Upon examining the Divine Power closely, he could even sense five types of extreme Divine Light flickering within.

This obviously represented the aura of Five-Star Sovereign’s Divine Power!

Ye Chen lightly squeezed his palm, and the golden Divine Power retracted back into his body. Then, a new force appeared on his hand.

This new force, more mysterious than Ye Chen’s Divine Power, emitted mysterious and brilliant starry brilliance, which was evidently the Starry Origin Power within Ye Chen!

Now, Ye Chen’s Starry Origin Power, through the cultivation of the six Chapters of the Primordial Star Scripture, especially the successful cultivation of the Tai Yu Chapter’s Second Plane, had reached an immensely vast level!

After carefully sensing the Starry Origin Power.

Ye Chen directly stood up from his meditative posture, with a flicker in the void, arriving in the cave abode’s space.

He pinched a spell with his hand, beginning to comprehend the results of the three Heaven-Earth Innate Divine Methods — Stellar Terrestrial Spin, Chaotic Heavenly Divine Light, and Immortal Spirit Seed.

Ancient Profound Jade Mountain truly lived up to being the precious cultivation Treasure Land in the Sea of Exile.

In this short period of nearly forty days of cultivation, Ye Chen successfully elevated the level of Stellar Terrestrial Spin significantly. Now, Ye Chen’s Stellar Terrestrial Spin’s combat power amplification level reached a seven-fold combat power amplification level!

Seven-fold combat power amplification!

If enhanced with Ye Chen’s own Divine Power and the Starry Origin Power within him, it was sufficient for Ye Chen to easily annihilate countless Divine Masters!

Moreover, Ye Chen now was confident to engage in battle with a genuine Overlord without relying on external items!

This was simply a miracle!

Know that, back when Ye Chen was in the Divine Venerable Realm, he could annihilate high-level Divine Masters, but the difference between a Divine Master and an Overlord was exceedingly vast. Without relying on Treasures, Ye Chen dared not confront an Overlord.

But now, having broken through to the Five-Star Sovereign Realm, Ye Chen could already engage with an Overlord and even suppress weaker Overlords.

To achieve such a level in just a few short weeks of cultivation is absolutely incredible.

Even in countless universes, there are hardly any Dominion Realm experts who dare to confront a Master. Even Divine Masters struggle against Masters.

Ye Chen, capable of challenging a Master within the Dominion Realm, remains an exceptionally talented individual who can fight across realms!

"Previously, when I wanted to battle a Master, I had to rely on the Divine Power of a Divine Treasure. However, the Divine Power of the Divine Treasure would eventually be depleted."

"Now, I can finally rely on my own strength!"

It is one’s own cultivated strength that is fundamental.

Feeling the immense power within himself, Ye Chen’s heart swelled with pride.

Although I can only match a Master now and not overpower countless Masters, being at the Five-Star Dominion Realm, once I reach the Divine Master stage, the possibility of defeating all Masters may not be out of reach!

Ye Chen possesses this confidence!

"I’ve cultivated the Starry Sky Earth Rotation Divine Technique to a seven-fold combat power amplification level!"

"I’ve also reached the second tier of the Chaotic Heavenly Divine Light technique!"

The Chaotic Heavenly Divine Light, which Ye Chen obtained when he broke the second lock within his body, is a Heaven-Earth Innate Divine Method that generates a formidable divine light helping Ye Chen restore his combat power.

The first tier of the Chaotic Heavenly Divine Light increases combat power recovery speed by double; the second tier enhances recovery speed by triple.

According to Ye Chen’s current mastery of the Chaotic Heavenly Divine Light, his combat power is enough to sustain him in battle for extended periods!

Although he cannot maintain an equal pace between consumption and recovery for infinite combat, it is now sufficient for Ye Chen to no longer worry about rapid exhaustion during battles, allowing for greater peace of mind!

"And there’s the third Heaven-Earth Innate Divine Method, the Immortal Spirit Seed."

"This divine method, I’ve just grasped the basic entry level."

The Immortal Spirit Seed is an unparalleled divine method capable of preserving Ye Chen’s life amidst mortal danger; of course, its cultivation difficulty is immense.

Currently, Ye Chen already has the Spatial Blink as a method of preservation. Given limited time, Ye Chen hasn’t entirely devoted his energy to cultivating the Immortal Spirit Seed.

"My primary focus is on the God-devouring Transformation, Heavenly Sword Divine Art, Great Sun Pitha Divine Sound, and other divine skills!"

Swish.

A Divine Sword suddenly appeared in Ye Chen’s hands, its brilliance shimmering with the divine light of the Tenth Sword Articulation.

Ye Chen had initially obtained a fragmented text of the Heavenly Sword Divine Art, containing twelve Sword Articulations, created by a Swordsmanship Cosmic Emperor from the Ancestral God Temple. Ye Chen had already surprised Yuan Qingzi of the Ancestral God Temple by cultivating to the Sixth Sword Articulation while in the Primal Beginning Universe. Now, Ye Chen has cultivated to the Tenth Sword Articulation, and mastering all twelve is merely a matter of time!

Relying on the Heavenly Sword Divine Art, Ye Chen can fully unleash his current combat power!

It can be said that the Tenth Sword Articulation of the Heavenly Sword Divine Art is already sufficient for Ye Chen to engage in battles with Masters!

"Additionally, there are methods like the God-devouring Transformation, Great Sun Pitha Divine Sound..."

Ye Chen tried them one by one, carefully comprehending his diverse techniques.

Finally, after Ye Chen had comprehended all his techniques, he walked out of the cultivation cave abode with great strides.

At this moment, all cultivation time has finally ended.

Outside the cave abode, it was already dusk.

The evening glow suffused the skies, painting the entire Xuan Feng Sect’s Ancient Profound Jade Mountain in red hues.

"Tomorrow is the day of the auction and also the annual Rosy Cloud Festival at the Sea of Exile, reputed to be the most beautiful day at the Sea of Exile. Now, on the eve of the Rosy Cloud Festival, the sky is already so beautiful."

Standing in the void, Ye Chen gazed into the sky at the endless stretch of evening glow, where he could even see the magnificent scene where the glow merged with the sea, observing countless giant birds flying along the boundary of sky and sea.

The sky full of setting sun, the boundless extreme sea, birds flying...

It’s exceedingly beautiful.

"Master!"

Just as Ye Chen was admiring the distant scenery, the beautiful attendant from Xuan Feng Sect, who had previously escorted Ye Chen to the cultivation cave abode, appeared before Ye Chen once again.

The attendant came to bid Ye Chen farewell after receiving news of his completed cultivation.

"Master, you... you’ve advanced to the Five-Star Dominion Realm?!"

Upon seeing Ye Chen after just forty-two days, having directly advanced from the Immortal Divine Venerable Realm to the Five-Star Dominion Realm, the attendant widened her eyes.

She was entirely in disbelief!

Keep in mind, this beautiful attendant had seen many talented individuals come to cultivate at the second-tier Ancient Profound Jade Mountain, even witnessing some renowned young talents from the Sea of Exile attempt breakthroughs.

Yet, she had never seen someone with such a profound breakthrough at once!

"A breakthrough to the Five-Star Dominion Realm in one go, does it mean five levels of Divine Tribulation in the Cosmic Sea were triggered and successfully overcome?"

Long before Ye Chen invested a hefty thirty billion to cultivate at the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain, the attendant was exceedingly curious about him. Now, Ye Chen had not only extended his cultivation by twelve days but had such a substantial realm breakthrough, inscribing Ye Chen deeply into her memory.

Although the attendant still didn’t know Ye Chen’s origins.

However, she had an inexplicable premonition that this seemingly young man before her, could potentially be more talented than Tianli Weiwei and Situ Lianchi, who had previously visited the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain for cultivation!

Ye Chen noticed the attendant’s astonishment.

Nonetheless, Ye Chen didn’t intend to converse much with her.

He simply smiled gently at the attendant and said, "Lead the way, it’s time to leave this place."

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, the attendant was snapped out of her daze and promptly led the way forward.

"Master, are you ending your cultivation today to attend tomorrow’s auction at Ancient Peace Pavilion?"

While walking, the attendant couldn’t help but ask after holding back for a while.

Ye Chen, upon hearing the attendant’s words, looked toward the outskirts of Xuan Feng Sect, nodding his head, "Yes, tomorrow I’ll have a look at the reputed Ancient Peace Pavilion auction at the Sea of Exile, to see what it’s truly like."
