Ye Chen even began to doubt that the chaos of the world had promoted him to become a Land God Immortal!

However, controlling ghosts and achieving immortality would witness auspicious signs descending from heaven, as if by congratulation on the birth of an immortal being.

But Ye Chen had not seen any signs of auspiciousness, indicating that this old king probably had not yet ascended to immortality.

Deep within the old forest, terrifying auras pulsed intermittently, indicating that the chaos king was still cultivating.

Their realm breakthroughs owed much to the Spiritual Liquid in the earthen jar, but there was very little of it left now.

However, with the Spiritual Liquid gone, that inconspicuous earthen jar began to attract Ye Chen's attention.

The chaos king had said that this earthen jar was also a mighty weapon, its value even greater than the Spiritual Liquids', only it was sealed by someone.

Why was it called an earthen jar, though?

Because it was incredibly earthy - the entire body of the jar seemed like it was made of soil, ugly to the extreme.

But however Ye Chen looked at it, the jar didn't seem like a mighty weapon - it was too crude, too ugly, too poor, short, and scruffy...

In short, this earthen jar didn't look anything like a mighty weapon at all!

However, on a whim, Ye Chen decided to test the hardness of the jar, and that's when he got the shock of his life.

He tried to crush the earthen jar, but despite exerting all his strength, even bursting with twelve times his combat power and turning his face red from the effort, he could not crush it. In frustration, he hurled the jar onto a boulder, which then split into several pieces, yet the poor, short, scruffy earthen jar remained as solid as before...

That shocking scene made Ye Chen recall the words of the chaos king, and he truly understood!

In the past, this earthen jar must have been high-class, rich, and handsome - now it was just dressed up to look poor, short, and scruffy, but the high-class, rich, and handsome nature was still there!

Thus, Ye Chen treated the earthen jar as a treasured possession, believing firmly that it would return in its strongest form!

Deep in the forest, by a stream.

Ye Chen sat on a streamside rock, facing Fang and discussing life and aspirations.

The chaos king was still advancing, but since they had already completed their advancement, they had no choice but to play and wait for their little friend.

"Fang, you truly live up to the name of a Holy Maiden!"

"We entered the cave dwelling for ten days, and you leaped from the early stage to the late stage of a Grandmaster!"

"How am I supposed to speak of you, do you even allow others to live?"

Ye Chen muttered for a long time with immense envy as Fang Ruolan had skipped two realms, truly an astounding feat.

At the same time, Ye Chen also began to complain that the Heavens were blind for not letting him advance two realms and ascend directly to a Land Immortal...

"..." Fang Ruolan really wanted to take a brick or something and knock Ye Chen out.

Fang Ruolan's cultivation had already reached a peak, and she would have advanced to Mid Grandmaster Stage soon even without the Spiritual Liquid.

So, with the aid of the miraculous Spiritual Liquid, Fang Ruolan rose two levels in a leap, ascending to the late stage of a Grandmaster.

Moreover, Ye Chen's utterly brainless ideas left Fang speechless, giving her an urge to facepalm.

This guy was always thinking about leaping to immortality directly; did he think becoming a Land Immortal was that easy?

Did he really believe that drinking some Spiritual Liquid, he could become a Land Immortal within minutes?!

If it were so, Land Immortals would have been as common as dirt in the street by now!

However, Ye Chen's growth speed was truly terrifying. At his age, to have become a peak Grandmaster, such an achievement could shock both ancient and modern times, bringing glory to one's ancestors!

If Ye Chen could maintain his rate of progress, he would definitely ascend to become an Immortal before the age of 30 and be the youngest person in history to achieve immortality!

However, Ye Chen's cultivation speed is terrifyingly fast; it's almost like a pig gaining weight, just too quick. If word got out, it could scare a whole bunch of Grandmasters to death.

Fang Ruolan always thought that when Ye Chen fought with others, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger. He could just show his ID or something, talk about how old he is, mention his realm and cultivation level, brag about his cultivation speed, and whoever was prepared to fight him would be scared to death...

"You said your master would also step into the cave, but she hasn't come yet, even now. Why is that?" Ye Chen wondered.

Fang Ruolan had said that her master's true form would descend to the cave to personally eradicate him, which had been causing Ye Chen constant apprehension. But after all this waiting, why hadn't the Grandmaster arrived? Could she be stuck in traffic?

"Do you really want my master to descend, just to be eagerly killed by her?" Fang Ruolan said.

"..."

Ye Chen also thought Fang was rather silly. Did he seem like the type who was eager to die?

"The cave is sealed; we can't get out, and no one can get in," Ye Chen said. "Your master must have missed the opportunity to enter the cave. She can't descend now, can she?"

"I don't know," Fang Ruolan said coldly.

In fact, Fang herself didn't want her master to descend, because if she did, Ye Chen would die. And Fang was finding herself less and less wanting that to happen.

"You don't think your master is waiting outside the cave, ready to ambush me when I leave, do you?" Ye Chen said, feeling a chill.

"My master is an Immortal; she could kill you with a single thought. Does she need to ambush you?"

Fang Ruolan was somewhat angry. Her master, who controlled spirits, was an invincible Immortal in the world. How could she stoop to ambushing?

"True!" Ye Chen nodded.

"Ye Chen, are you afraid of death?" Fang Ruolan asked.

In her understanding, Ye Chen was definitely afraid of death.

However, when he fought, he seemed so violent, as if he wasn't afraid of death at all!

Indeed, after Fang Ruolan got beaten by Ye Chen with a lamppost, she fell in love with him...

"Afraid of death," Ye Chen admitted unabashedly.

The matter of life and death is the most terrifying thing. Even people of 'Nine Dragons' stature and Immortals fear their final moments.

Ye Chen was naturally also fearful of this; he couldn't bear to imagine if he were gone, how his women would live on, and what would become of his money...

"So why are you so fierce when you fight? You're completely ruthless, fighting as if your life depends on it!" Fang Ruolan said.

"Only if you're fierce do others fear you. If you're not ruthless, you can't stand your ground. The fiercer you are, the less likely you'll die," Ye Chen said very seriously.

Ye Chen had undergone tough experiences in the military, having undertaken many life-threatening missions. He knew well that in a narrow path, the brave ones win; it goes from the brutal to the reckless, and from the reckless to those who do not fear death!

Fang Ruolan thought about it seriously and eventually looked at Ye Chen as if his reasoning made a lot of sense.

"So, when my master descends and if she wants to kill you, will you be ruthless with her, too?"

Fang Ruolan was genuinely worried about this. Even if she pleaded on Ye Chen's behalf, her master might still unleash her wrath, given that Ye Chen had disrupted her cultivation foundation!

However, Fang really did not want Ye Chen to die!

"Why are you, it seems, even more scared than I am?" Ye Chen frowned.

"I was just asking."

"What else could I do? If your master wants to kill me, then I'll just have to kill her!" Ye Chen said nonchalantly.
