Chapter 1679: Ye Xue’s Breakthrough

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jiang Chen returned to the Ling Long Celestial Palace after saying good-bye to Stepping Heavenward Venerable Monster.

There were still some days to go until the Spiritual Land Battle. Jiang Chen wanted to achieve a state breakthrough before that.

With his Heart Power, he could defeat most Venerable Sovereigns, but in order to improve his Heart Power, it was necessary that he improve his state force first.

When he had become a Venerable Sovereign, Jiang Chen would be as strong as a Divine King.

“It’s a shame that time will be up soon.” Once the Blood Race escaped from the Sacred Zone, the clock would start ticking for the upcoming calamity.

The Wall of the World had cracked, but it hadn’t been only because of the reorganization of the world. It was also because it had reached its expected limit.

On his way back to the celestial palace, Jiang Chen dropped by the Sacred Zone.

The Wall of the World, which looked like a layer of frosted glass, isolated the whole Sacred Zone. People outside the zone could only get a vague impression of the Sacred Zone.

Its land was burned up, and it was barren everywhere. There was no trace of life.

There was not even any trace of the Blood Race, who scared the folks of the Black Yellow Great World out of their wits.

Some people even claimed that the Blood Race had retreated and wouldn’t come back again.

Jiang Chen checked the Wall of the World when he was alone and no one was watching him.

The Wall of the World was enormous. It was difficult, even for him, to find that crack. This was why he had left it up to the other races, in the hope that with more people involved, there would be some findings.

Jiang Chen only wanted to see how much longer the Wall of the World could still last.

“100 years.”

Jiang Chen got the answer soon, but he didn’t look happy at all. Instead, he looked worried.

When the Wall of the World had been newly erected, it was supposed to last almost 10,000 years.

Even a solid city wall could usually remain standing for thousands of years.

However, when a city wall was damaged again and again under the invasion of enemies, there was no way it could last so long. It could even be abruptly destroyed by some strong enemy one day.

It was the same with the Wall of the World. The Blood Race must have kept working at it, damaging it often over the past 500 years, so that the Wall of the World, which was supposed to last 10,000 years, only had 100 years left.

If things went on like this, the Wall of the World could be damaged so much that it would only last two more years at most.

By then the Blood Race would be able to start their invasion and many people would be killed.

Fortunately, the current Black Yellow Great World was not as weak as it used to be 500 years ago.

At this moment, with the Sacred Zone as the center, within a range of thousands of miles, all the buildings had been taken down so that this place could be used as a battlefield.

All the races had been working together to construct countless lines of defense to try and maximize their advantages.

Jiang Chen nodded to himself. He felt fairly satisfied. If he’d been the one who’d deployed all these defenses, they would’ve been better, but, unfortunately, he hadn’t had the time.

To become a person who could be compared to a Divine King, this was what Jiang Chen believed he should focus on at this moment.

“Within two years, I’ll at most become a Venerable Sovereign, but with my Heart Power, it should be enough.”

Thinking these thoughts, Jiang Chen felt eager to become stronger. So he hit the road again to return to the celestial palace.

Soon, thanks to an advanced teleportation formation, Jiang Chen arrived in Tianqi City the same day.

Then, by exerting the Great Method of Void, Jiang Chen showed up in the celestial palace located on Dragon Tiger Mountain. He returned to his villa.

Feeling the freezing air in the practicing room deep inside the villa, Jiang Chen was slightly surprised.

“So, the Lunar Aura will be ready soon.”

As he’d expected, the peak where his villa was had turned into a world covered by ice and snow.

The cold air released affected the whole celestial palace.

If Leader the Venerable had not forbidden anyone to approach except for the people directly concerned, many of the denizens of the palace would have gathered around the peak.

At the Main Peak, in the Ling Long Celestial Hall, the most important place in the Ling Long Celestial Palace, the three most senior grand Elders had come together for a meeting.

“It looks as if the Icy Spirit King is going to become a sovereign soon.”

Grand Elder Tianya was very happy. The celestial palace and the Heavenly Palace were allies, and the Icy Spirit was tied with the Heavenly Palace, so all of them were in the same camp.

“I’m wondering how many bell tolls there will be,” Baili Zhan said expectantly.

When a Venerable Sovereign appeared in the world, the tolls of the Sovereign Bell would reach every corner of the world.

From one to nine, the number of the tolls explained how powerful a Venerable Sovereign was.

The statistics showed that since the first toll of the Sovereign Bell three years ago, the record up until that point had been eight tolls.

It had caused a lot of discussion that time. Everyone had wondered who could be so fantastic as to make the bell toll eight times.

Unfortunately, they’d only heard the tolls, but didn’t know who they were for.

And whoever it was seemed to have been a Venerable Sovereign who wanted to maintain a low profile and had never come forward to take any credit.

“Huh, this woman has consumed a huge amount of resources of our celestial palace, and she will break through to Venerable Sovereign here. The spiritual energy here will be consequently thinner. At least ten to 15 days will be needed for the spiritual energy to recover.”

A harsh female voice rang out while the three grand Elders were talking.

Baili Zhan couldn’t help but frown. It was this woman who had almost gotten them banished. Not until Jiang Chen’s return had the situation started to change.

This woman was the former vice leader of the celestial palace, Liu Yuefeng.

She had been staying in Tianqi City since she’d been dismissed by Jiang Chen. Her daughter had returned not long ago, and together they were plotting to take revenge against Jiang Chen.

Coincidentally, Jiang Chen had gone to look for the flame, so she hadn’t found him here.

However, Liu Yuefeng had come back to the celestial palace with her subordinates from the old kingdom.

She’d agreed to cut down the 36 peaks to nine peaks and for her people to join the nine peaks.

However, she’d only done this so that she could have the chance to maneuver to make her subordinates seize power again and occupy the Nine Peaks.

The three grand Elders knew exactly what she was up to, but they weren’t powerful enough to stop her, because there was a Supreme Venerable from the Sacred Institute who was behind her.

That person had three votes in the Supreme Venerable Hall and an important post in the Sacred Institute.

It was the same person who had worked a lot in the Sacred Institute to gain all kinds of opportunities and advantages for the celestial palace in the Spiritual Land Battle.

That person was Liu Yuefeng’s daughter.

She had walked into the palace with Liu Yuefeng right at this moment.

“It’s said this Ye Xue is extremely pretty. I’m wondering whether she is really so pretty.”

This Yue’er was accompanied by some peers. They were men and women who were here to pay hommage to her. It was one of the men who had spoken.

Yue’er frowned at what he had said.

A woman next to her saw her frown. She said immediately, “Beauty is subjective. On a certain level, all women are pretty. What really matters is what’s inside.”

“Tell her to come here after her breakthrough,” Yue’er told the grand Elders.

The three grand Elders looked awkward. Firstly, they didn’t understand why Yue’er thought she could order them to do anything. Secondly, they couldn’t figure out why she wanted to see Ye Xue.

“Leader the Venerable has given the order that nobody should disturb her,” said Baili Zhan.

“She is on the verge of a breakthrough. Even though she is practicing in seclusion, it’s time for her seclusion to end.”

Yue’er didn’t think it a big deal. She taunted, “I’ve never heard of anyone going on practicing in seclusion after a big state breakthrough.”

The three grand Elders were speechless.

Once someone had a big state breakthrough, they would always have the desire to adjust themselves to their new attainments and learn all about their strengths and shortcomings before going on practicing.

“May we know why you want to see her?” asked a grand Elder.

“She’s going to break through to being a Venerable Sovereign in my celestial palace. Shouldn’t she come over to express her gratitude?” said Yue’er in an ice-cold voice.

It sounded reasonable, but the three grand Elders knew that that wasn’t the reason. She just didn’t want to wait anymore.

Jiang Chen hadn’t come back yet, so she wanted to start her revenge with Ye Xue.

At this moment, the weather suddenly changed. A magnificent light beam was emitted from Jiang Chen’s villa into the air.

“The breakthrough is coming!”

“I’m wondering how many times the most beautiful woman in the world can make the bell toll.”
