Chapter 428: Chapter 381: Intelligence!

Back at the camp, the three Warhorse Commanders immediately entered closed-door cultivation. They needed to devote all their heart and effort to refine the Saint Blood Essence and Battle Marks, aiming for even greater breakthroughs.

The three hundred Barbaric War Riders all followed the Body Refinement plan set by Ye Chen, using the Saint Blood Essence and the Fierce Beast treasure blood for Body Tempering and Bone Refining, seeking to reach the next level.

It was foreseeable that once they emerged from seclusion, the three hundred Barbaric War Riders would become even stronger and more fearsome, with their combat power reaching a new height.

Above the Floating Divine Island, Wang Ming appeared. He was a Saint Master Level existence, one of the highest commanders from the Green Sun Domain, commanding reverence from all those around him with their gazes, including other high-ranking officials.

Only Ye Chen could remain calm in his presence, walking side by side with him, causing many to speculate about their relationship. They seemed not so much like an elder and his junior, but rather like a pair of friends, which was surprising to onlookers.

Gazing at the vast and bloodstained Domain Battlefield, Ye Chen’s eyes held a distant light as he said, "Wang Ming, has Yaya awakened yet?"

Wang Ming shook his head, "Yaya has fallen into a deep slumber for her cultivation. The Time-Space Technique she is practicing is too profound. She can’t emerge from seclusion in a short time, but she will surely reap significant benefits. Now she has been taken back for better protection. Do you know by whom?"

Ye Chen was slightly startled and sighed lightly, "Is it Jingruo?"

Jingруo, also known as the Heavenly Pride Girl of her generation, a peer of Wang Ming and the War King, is suspected to be the peerless goddess of the Immortal True King and the current ruler of the Taichu Sacred Land, a stunning and domineering woman, incomparable in the world.

Before her ascension, she swept through all underhanded attempts with absolute strength, and even after taking control, she absolutely grasped the great power of the entire Taichu Sacred Land, to the extent that even the Supreme Elders did not dare to oppose her authority.

She also struck down thirteen Saint Lords in a single night, her snow-white garments stained with blood, shocking the world and, beyond her stunningness, instilling a sense of awe.

Thus, she gained the title of the Blood-Clothed Goddess and for many years, her fame shook the world!

Among the several cherished wives from Ye Chen’s past life, Zhao Jingruo was also the elder sister among the women.

Wang Ming gave a wry smile, "In this world, perhaps you’re the only one who dares to call Jingruo ’sister’ so affectionately."

Affectionate, indeed?

She was his fiancée, with the engagement already set; only the marriage had not yet taken place. How could they be anything but intimate?

Recalling his beloved, Ye Chen sighed deeply, his emotions laced with melancholy.

"The Taichu Sacred Land is a Supreme Sacred Land, anchored by Ancient Great Power. Its heritage is terrifying, far stronger than the average Immortal Sacred Land. Yaya will be well-protected during her closed-door cultivation - there’s no need for worry," said Wang Ming.

Ye Chen nodded. He naturally understood the formidable nature of a Supreme Sacred Land, where a single Ancient Great Power represented everything, able to command respect from across the Ten Thousand Domains and the Ten Thousand Clan.

He was just somewhat concerned about Yaya’s unique identity; the World Tree, when fully grown, could rival the battles between emperors and sovereigns from the Mythical Era, belonging to the most noble of creatures between Heaven and Earth.

He feared that the Ancient Great Power would act against Yaya, to subjugate her forcefully, which would be most unfortunate.

Wang Ming said, "You needn’t worry. That Ancient Great Power seems to be very fond of Yaya, showing no intention of harm, quite the contrary—very indulgent, treating her even more dearly than his own descendants, making Yaya the little princess of Taichu Sacred Land, untouchable by anyone. In fact, Jingruo’s complete control over the Taichu Sacred Land owes a great deal to Yaya’s support."

"That’s very good," Ye Chen nodded in approval. If an Ancient Great Power were to take action against Yaya, there was nothing he could do with his current capabilities.

"Jingruo still doesn’t know about your return. I think it’s better to let Yaya tell her personally," said Wang Ming after a pause.

Ye Chen simply acknowledged.

Afterwards, Wang Ming handed a piece of Memory Jade to Ye Chen, saying, "This contains the information you asked me to investigate. Everything is inside."

Before leaving Black Sky City, Ye Chen had indeed asked Wang Ming to look into some matters. Now, Wang Ming had completed the investigation, storing everything inside the Memory Jade.

Inside it were details about the Tiandu Continent, as well as the noble house of the Ice Flame Heavenly King, including information about Li Taixu and others.

Ye Chen probed into the Memory Jade with his Divine Thought, quickly comprehending all the compiled information.

Wang Ming’s intelligence network was indeed formidable; in less than a month, he had gathered quite a lot of data.

According to the data, the location of the Tiandu Continent was within a Great Domain called Saints Domain, which had already been thoroughly penetrated by forces from the Exotic Realm, forging a passageway that allowed free travel between the two realms.

The so-called Exotic Realm forces were a coalition of many Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, including both Immortal Sacred Lands and even Supreme Sacred Lands, all aiming at the inheritance of Jiuyue Great Power and the Heavenly Demon Origin that had been sealed and refined for countless years.

In the beginning, the original inhabitants of Tiandu Continent below the Divinity Transformation Realm were all safe and sound; the powerful entities of the Ten Thousand Domains paid them no heed. As for those above the level of Divinity Transformation who formed the Heavenly Slaying Alliance, they suffered heavy casualties, mostly fled to the barren edges, and hid in the dark, using secret techniques to conceal their presence within Tiandu Continent, disappearing without a trace.

They seemed to understand that the powers of the Ten Thousand Domains were invincible; they never appeared again, and during this period, invincible kings such as War King, Peacock King, and Taisu King stepped forward to protect them, not willing to let living beings suffer unnecessarily.

With the intervention of the three invincible kings, naturally nobody dared to disrespect them, and even the Heavenly Kings, high above, paid little attention, so everything remained relatively peaceful.

Although there were some enemies that took action in secret during this period, including Saints, they were powerfully suppressed by the three invincible kings, using their provocation of authority as the reason, making many afraid to provoke further.

Some of the opposing invincible kings had the capability, but their targets were all on the Origin of the Great Power Realm; they did not take action.

The invading forces had studied various ancient books of Tiandu Continent and learned about the King’s Ancient Road, suspecting secrets left by the Great Powers. But those secrets had completely vanished—so much so that even the Heavenly King Invincibles used their power to deduce the past but could not find the slightest trace, much to their regret.

This made Ye Chen nod slightly; Tiandu Continent was safe, and his parents and relatives on the King’s Ancient Road were safe, which gave him peace of mind.

Besides, War King and others would naturally take action to protect those he wished to protect.

Regrettably, however, after Crown Prince Xia Yang and others entered the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, their traces vanished, and even the intelligence forces of someone as powerful as Wang Ming were unable to track them down.

On the other hand, the household of Ice Flame Heavenly King, Emperor Xia, located at the center of the Ten Thousand Domains, is one of the most powerful Supreme Sacred Lands of the current world, with Ancient Great Powers sitting in residence, towering over the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, looking down upon the Ten Thousand Domains with immense strength.

This family had indeed produced an exceptional Heavenly Pride who startled the ages years ago. She advanced vigorously, breaking through into the Heavenly King Realm and dominating the Ten Thousand Domains with pride and at a very young age, full of vitality and vigor, hailed as likely to be the next member of the family after the Ancient Ancestor to reach the Great Power Realm.

However, later on, Ice Flame Heavenly King suddenly disappeared while traveling through the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms and could not be found despite many years of searching by the family.

If not for the soul lamp still burning, the family would have long assumed Ice Flame Heavenly King had perished.

They suspected it was the work of hostile forces, unwilling to see the family produce another Ancient Great Power, a lineage with two Great Powers, that would threaten them and, therefore, eradicated Ice Flame Heavenly King at all costs.

Thus, there had been tit-for-tat confrontations with hostile forces over the years, battling for many years.

After understanding all this, Ye Chen nodded. To this day, on the Domain Battlefield, he had already collected four clumps of King Blood. He only needed four more and would need to move to a different region to obtain them.

There was no longer a need to stay on the Domain Battlefield.

"It’s just a pity that now is not the real time for domain battles," Wang Ming sighed, "otherwise, you would witness the terrifying nature of a domain battle, where even Saint Master Level powerhouses must take action. It is a truly great war that spreads far and wide, extremely intense and every so often a Saint will face the danger of falling."

Such domain battles are the real thing, with Supreme powerhouses even from the Saintly Treasure Realm taking part and Saint Lord Level beings participating. The scale of such a battle is truly earth-shattering, even capable of causing the fall of the Saints.

It is very likely that even Saint Lord Level beings cannot avoid involvement because each outbreak of domain battles is a time for resolving deep grudges between different regions.

Compared to that, current skirmishes are merely a minor fracas, where even a Semi-Saint level being would be considered an apex powerhouse. This shows just how significant the scale could be.

Ye Chen nodded. He was particularly interested in witnessing a true domain battle.

"There are quite a few real treasures in the Military Merit Hall, and you can visit it when you have time," Wang Ming finally said.

Early the next morning, Ye Chen went to the Military Merit Hall. As the name suggests, it was a Treasure Hall where soldiers could exchange military merit for many invaluable treasures.

Of course, each truly valuable treasure required a substantial amount of military merit and could not be obtained lightly.

This time, entering the Domain Battlefield, he started by annihilating the Heavenly Dragon Army, then wiped out the Four Domains Army, captured King Blood, crushed the Red God Army, and even slain Saints from the Five Great Domains, seizing Saint Lord Level Daoist Soldiers. His accomplishments were unprecedented and immense.

Naturally, his military merits would be substantial.

Long before entering the battlefield, each person had been given a Military Merit Token—Ye Chen included—with all deeds of valor being recorded on it.

The Military Merit Hall was immensely magnificent and filled with numerous warriors coming to exchange military merits. Naturally, there were also many treasures to be exchanged inside, with some so alluring that even Saint Lord Level Characters would be tempted. As long as one had enough military merit, they could exchange for these items.

To avoid drawing too much attention, Ye Chen wore a black cloak and kept his aura concealed as he approached the counter.

Because there were too many people exchanging military merits, a long line had formed. Ye Chen did not jump the queue but waited patiently in line.

Finally, after half a day, it was Ye Chen’s turn. He handed over his Military Merit Token and said, "Hello, I would like to exchange my military merits—"

Before he could finish, a group of people rudely cut in front of Ye Chen, saying, "Let me go first!"
