The Lord of Chaos wanted to punch Ye Chen to death, as his expression was too innocent and too detestable.

Whoever obtained the secret technique of movement would truly be blessed by fate; among the countless secret arts and myriad martial skills, it was the movement technique secret that was the most precious!

Such a secret was not only the strongest trump card but also a miraculous method to save one's life!

If someone else had gotten the movement technique secret, they would be overjoyed to the point of becoming like the Seven Fairies. How many Grandmasters would die of envy at such fortune? And yet, there he was, wearing his innocent expression. Was he courting death?

"Great Grandpa, how do I compare to Second Grandpa and Third Grandpa in strength now?" Ye Chen asked expectantly.

"You are improving, but others are improving as well!" the Lord of Chaos said. "The second and the third have encountered quite the opportunities. You are probably still not their match right now!"

The Lord of Chaos was not deliberately belittling Ye Chen; the King of War and the others originally had the combat power of the top ten in Qingyun, and now they had encountered remarkable fortunes in the cave. Their cultivation might soon rival the Emperor, Second King, Third Hero, making them invincible and supreme in their own right.

"It seems I still need to put in effort. I will ascend to the rank of Land God before I leave the cave!" Ye Chen clenched his fist, his spirit and demeanor declaring his resolve.

"..."

The Lord of Chaos gazed into the distance, not daring to look at Ye Chen's face, for he feared he would lose control and punch him.

"Giggle!" Fang Ruolan laughed.

Ye Chen and the others came out of seclusion; the turmoil caused by the earthen jar had gradually subsided, and they were preparing for their journey.

In the end, the Lord of Chaos parted ways with Ye Chen. The old king went his own way, choosing not to continue staying by Ye Chen's side.

The Lord of Chaos had his own destinies to seek, and in his pursuit of opportunities, it was inevitable to engage in great battles with characters from the Nine Dragons. Bringing Ye Chen along would involve watching his back constantly.

Moreover, now that Ye Chen had reached his peak, he would be able to preserve his own life even when facing characters from the Nine Dragons; he no longer needed the protection of the Lord of Chaos.

In fact, Ye Chen himself did not wish to rise through the ranks under the protection of the Lord of Chaos; with the old king accompanying him, he would lose his sense of crisis, and the experience would be devoid of the tempering effects he sought.

"Ye Chen, where are we heading now?" Fang Ruolan asked.

"Now that our strength has greatly increased, naturally, we should burst forth to conquer all, retreat from Qingyun, and enter the Qingyun List in the strongest stance!" Ye Chen said decisively.

"Without achieving fame and making a name for ourselves, glorifying our ancestors, it would be a disservice to our cultivation!" Ye Chen boasted confidently.

"Let's go, to seize the treasures!"

Fang Ruolan: "..."

Ye Chen's cultivation was so strong that he could withstand a world-shaking punch, and had been evaluated by the Lord of Chaos as having the combat power of the top ten in Qingyun!

Moreover, Fang Ruolan had also broken through multiple realms, escalating to the late stage of Grandmaster, and she could control the Indestructible Vajra Gu. When the Holy Maiden got serious, she could muster the combat power of Qingyun.

Joining forces, they could easily overpower most of the powerful figures in the cave.

However, as soon as Ye Chen emerged from his secluded corner, he heard some shocking news.

In the days during their seclusion, many upheavals had occurred in the cave, with numerous people encountering once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.

Rumors had it that someone in the depths of the cave picked some unknown wild fruit. After eating the fruit, that person's cultivation soared boundlessly!

The Grandmaster who had eaten the wild fruit was only at the late stage of Grandmaster, merely struggling to survive in the cave where powerful figures were everywhere. But after eating the fruit, he ascended to heaven in one step, becoming Transcendent and killed a Qingyun powerhouse with a single punch!

To have slain a Qingyun figure with a single punch, what a magnificent achievement that was? That Grandmaster's fame soared, and his fortuitous encounter in the cave abode caused huge ripples!

Countless people began to wander in the wilderness, hoping to stumble upon great fortune and find such fruits, but in the end, no one was able to locate those wild fruits.

Somebody acquired an earth-shattering martial art deep within the cave abode. That person was relatively unknown before, but after mastering that unique martial art, their combat strength became so formidable that they stood unrivaled, possessing the invincible posture to sweep across all heroes!

Another Qingyun figure had a stroke of luck and picked up a fire stick deep in the cave abode. This fire stick was unremarkable in appearance, but when the Qingyun figure channeled True Qi into the fire stick, it suddenly unleashed an invincible divine might capable of breaking mountains and tearing the earth asunder!

In short, people in the cave abode occasionally obtained great opportunities, receiving fortunes that were beyond imagination!

Many people who were originally unknown rose to prominence after gaining such fortune!

However, among these numerous events, what was most shocking was that someone had advanced to the rank of a "Nine Dragons Supreme"!

The Nine Dragons Supreme is a symbol of the limit of a Grandmaster; such an individual could exterminate peak Grandmasters with a mere gesture and slaughter a group of ordinary Grandmasters, possessing an invincible might to conquer the Land Gods!

Yet, such unbeatable individuals were extremely difficult to emerge, and the whole world could hardly count them on ten fingers!

Out of the five hundred Grandmasters who entered the cave abode, there were only about five such individuals!

However, just a few days ago, someone in this cave abode condensed the momentum of the Nine Dragons and ultimately leaped into becoming one of the Nine Dragons!

From then on, there was one more transcendent being in this world!

With the world's heroes gathered in the cave abode and someone advancing to the rank of Nine Dragons Supreme, it caused a huge commotion, naturally witnessed by countless formidable characters, which then led to unimaginable shockwaves!

However, that newly advanced Nine Dragons figure did not reveal their true identity in the end, leading some to speculate that the one who ascended to Nine Dragons status was very likely from among the emperors, kings, heroes, and prodigies!

Upon hearing these pieces of news, Ye Chen began to beat his chest and stomp his feet in a great curse, saying that these people had stolen the treasures and opportunities from his family's cave abode.

Ye Chen's display of such dissatisfaction left Fang Ruolan at a loss for words.

Nevertheless, the advancement of someone to Nine Dragons Supreme made Ye Chen even more determined!

Ye Chen ventured deep into the continuous mountain ranges, aiming to gain some unparalleled fortune; he walked by streams and rivers, hoping to find the corpse of a fearsome beast and acquire some legendary Mysterious Skill; ultimately, he raced across the limitless lands, wishing for a treasure of the caliber of the fire stick to smash down upon his head.

Fang Ruolan silently followed by Ye Chen's side, knowing that Earth could no longer contain his strides.

As the saying goes, however, "If you don't seek death, you won't die."

Ye Chen was courting death with such fervor, hoping to be struck by fortune until his face bled, when eventually he did indeed court disaster.

In a green landscape of verdant mountains and clear waters, a group of fierce and malevolent figures suddenly appeared, surrounding Ye Chen and Fang Ruolan.

"This mountain was opened by me, this path was laid by me. If you wish to pass, leave behind a toll for the road!" With familiar plots and cliché lines, Ye Chen instantly felt as though he had traversed into a martial arts blockbuster.

In the depths of this remote forest, there was a group of seven or eight Grandmasters gathered together, engaging in the act of highway robbery.

However, among these individuals, only two were late-stage Grandmasters; the rest were peak Grandmasters. This lineup wasn't luxurious, but it was enough to rob an ordinary Qingyun strongman.

"Gentlemen, I'm not sure if you're after riches or beauty," Ye Chen said. "If it's wealth you want, I can hand over all the treasures on me. But if it's beauty you're after, then I'll leave this woman behind!"

With Ye Chen's current level of cultivation, sweeping away these bandit Grandmasters would be no challenge at all. However, he was bored now and decided to toy with these robbers.
