Ye Chen, capable of performing the Ten Dragons Taboo, could only compete with ordinary immortals at most.

However, she was a Supreme Battle Immortal who had cultivated peerless martial techniques, plus Qianyue Bing who was not much weaker than her. Incredibly, Ye Chen easily blocked them!

She saw the shock in Ye Chen's blood and qi, but even so, his performance was shockingly unconventional!

This was something Yalina found hard to accept.

"Ye Chen, could you not move?" Qianyue Bing said. "Let me chop once, I promise only one chop!"

Qianyue Bing felt a sense of powerlessness, a Land God feeling powerless against someone with the Ten Dragons Taboo—such a thing would surely be unbelievable if spoken of, yet Qianyue Bing felt exactly that.

Now she did not seek to kill Ye Chen, only to happily land one solid chop.

"Where should I chop?" Ye Chen asked.

"Chop at the neck," Qianyue Bing said.

"..."

"Ahhh! I'm going to kill you!"

The Holy Light burst forth from Yalina's sacred sword as she furiously charged at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's growth rate was too shocking. Just one exchange of moves and Yalina knew she couldn't kill Ye Chen.

However, she couldn't accept it without fighting a desperate battle!

"Buzz!"

Qianyue Bing also swung her war blade, resolutely charging at Ye Chen.

After so much hard work and painstaking cultivation of peerless martial techniques, how could they just give up so easily?

Even if Ye Chen's growth rate was terrifying to immortals, they still wanted to give it a try!

Otherwise, he would only become increasingly difficult to kill!

"..."

"Shadow Slaying Illusion Kill, kill, kill!" Qianyue Bing's figure flickered in and out of existence in the void, utilizing tricky and vicious moves in succession, tearing the earth and shattering mountains.

"Holy Light Purification, devour the darkness!" Yalina also erupted with full power, displaying powerful martial techniques in a flurry, divine might shaking the heavens for a time.

"What Land God, Supreme Battle Immortal, all of that is just dust, they can't even touch a single hair on me. You want to kill me? Go home and train for another lifetime!" Ye Chen's martial techniques exploded forth, continuously taunting the women.

Although Ye Chen could contend with the two women, the unstoppable power of ghosts and gods shook his blood and qi. There were several times when he almost spat blood.

But even with such risks, he could not delay his act of bravado.

"..."

This battle raged until the sky was dark and the sun and moon had lost their light, with both supreme immortals exerting their full power, unleashing might that could move mountains and overturn seas.

However, even when overpowered by the two women, Ye Chen did not face a life-or-death crisis.

In the words of Yalina and Qianyue Bing, it was that Ye Chen was too strong, unsettlingly strong, to the point where even immortals could only gape in awe.

"I can't beat you, but you also can't kill me!"

In the end, Ye Chen's vigor ran out first, exhausted, he fled... He was, after all, someone able to perform the Ten Dragons Taboo. His True Qi was vast and ample, but it was still no match for the divine power of the gods wielded by the immortals.

However, Ye Chen had nearly fought until exhaustion, and neither Yalina nor Qianyue Bing were in good shape, both quite weary from the battle.

"We must become stronger, let's head to the Wood Tower to cultivate martial techniques! If one technique can't kill him, we'll cultivate two! If two techniques can't kill him, we'll cultivate three... Keep cultivating until we can kill him!"

In the end, Yalina and Qianyue Bing rushed back to the Wood Tower, wanting to continue cultivating martial techniques to strengthen themselves for killing.

Through this battle, they had roughly gauged Ye Chen's cultivation level. If they cultivated one more martial technique and increased their strength a little more, Ye Chen would definitely be unable to withstand them.

"It's true, women can be fiercely relentless. That fight almost exhausted me to death!" Ye Chen sat on a tree branch, gasping for air.

Ye Chen was a monster rarely seen through the ages, but he was just that, a monster, not an omnipotent god.

Yalina and Qianyue Bing were bona fide Land Gods. Even with Ye Chen's profound foundation and many peerless martial techniques, he was still only capable of the Ten Dragons Soaring. The desperate attacks of the two female immortals weighed heavily on him.

"We've been in this cave for half a month already. Why hasn't Emperor Litian come out yet?" Ye Chen grew alert to a serious matter.

Life in the cave was comfortable, amidst an environment filled with the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds, making one feel as if in the Immortal Realm.

But, if he remained trapped here indefinitely, the outside world would surely think he was dead...

Thinking of how those women would react to news of his death, Ye Chen couldn't help feeling stifled, wondering whether those women, upon learning of his demise, would cry or instead laugh in relief.

Within the cave, all sorts of martial techniques were available for Ye Chen to freely cultivate. However, having grown to a certain limit, even if he could make some progress, it would be marginal and unlikely to lead to a major breakthrough.

Therefore, Ye Chen did not wish to linger here for too long.

Moreover, after perusing ancient texts, Ye Chen became aware of the existence of another realm and was full of puzzles that needed solving by Emperor Litian.

Ye Chen wanted to know where his father was, and whether he was in the Canglan Realm or not.

If his father was still alive, then was his mother living or dead?

Ye Chen had a faint memory of his father but had absolutely no recollection of his mother.

Why had his father abandoned him back then and deliberately set up a false situation making him believe he had died? What was he trying to conceal from him?

Ye Chen wanted to know the answers to all of these questions. He wanted to know why, why they were so cruel to him!

...

Night fell again, with stars and the moon too lazy to show themselves.

The sky seemed oppressive, with muffled thunder echoing now and then. Even inside this cave, it seemed it was going to rain.

Yalina sat cross-legged in her room, with strong auras emerging from her body. Ye Chen's strength had stirred her, and after finding another martial technique in the Wood Tower, she was eager to start cultivating without delay.

She wanted to grow stronger and crush that arrogant and detestable Ye Chen underfoot!

"Whoosh!"

A fierce wind blew outside the house, bringing with it a rain the size of soybeans, and the rainfall was not light.

"The existence of this cave dwelling is truly wondrous—it's just like the outside world, with the sun and the moon cycling, lightning flashing, thunder roaring, and pouring rain. It's practically a miniature world!" Yalina exclaimed, surprised at the sound of the rain outside.

The dwelling's existence was incredibly marvelous; even though the space was limited, it was complete in every aspect!

Here, there were green plants and grass, mountains and rivers, horses and cattle, donkeys and sheep, every tiny thing...

A cave dwelling that formed its own world was simply a paradise secluded from the common world, where one could enjoy heavenly bliss!

However, the technique to refine such a cave dwelling could only be touched upon by the Great Venerable of the Other Shore, and only the Saintly Great Powers could execute it to perfection.

For Land Gods and Grandmasters, the idea of refining a cave dwelling? Don't even think about it!

"Boom—"

Suddenly, a muffled thunder rumbled in the distance, interrupting Yalina's epiphany.

"..."

Yalina wanted to meditate on the mysteries of martial arts, but the weather was not cooperating, always thundering so loudly, which severely affected her state of mind.

"Sigh!"

Unable to calm her mind, Yalina let out a long breath, slowly opened her eyes, and decided not to force her cultivation.

But when Yalina opened her eyes, she immediately tensed up!

Because she saw Ye Chen!

"It's thundering, and it's raining; I wonder where Ye Chen is?" Qianyue Bing stood quietly by the window, watching the fierce lightning and the pouring rain outside, worried about Ye Chen.

This Wood Tower only had two places to rest—one was hers, and the other was occupied by Yalina.

Now, as the wind howled, thunder roared, and rain pelted down, Qianyue Bing, for some reason, felt an inexplicable concern for Ye Chen.

The next day.

On the third floor of the tower, Qianyue Bing was practicing her martial arts.

"Strange, why hasn't Yalina come yet?" Qianyue Bing put down the ancient tome in her hands, a hint of confusion arising in her mind.

Both she and Yalina wanted to kill Ye Chen, so they had been monitoring each other, practicing martial arts, strengthening themselves, hoping to quickly kill Ye Chen and relieve their hatred.

Yalina's hatred for Ye Chen had reached an unimaginable level; her desire to kill him was even three times stronger than Qianyue Bing's.

So, when practicing martial arts, Yalina would always come here early each day.

Yet today, Yalina was late!

"Qianyue Bing, you came quite early today!"

Yalina hurried over and greeted Qianyue Bing.

"It's not that I came too early, but that you came too late!" Qianyue Bing said.

"Cultivating martial arts is so draining on the spirit, I just rested a bit longer to get myself into the best condition!" Yalina laughed lightly.

"Oh!" Qianyue Bing nodded thoughtfully.

"Sigh!" Yalina walked over to a spot not far from Qianyue Bing, holding an ancient tomb of martial arts and began to study it.

"Yalina, have you seen Ye Chen?" Qianyue Bing suddenly looked at Yalina and asked.

"Ye Chen?" Yalina's expression stiffened, then she gently shook her head. "No, I haven't seen him!"

"I wonder where Ye Chen has run off to, it was raining so hard yesterday, I don't know if he got drenched!" Qianyue Bing said, as if speaking to someone and at the same time talking to herself.

"..." Yalina felt very choked up upon hearing Qianyue Bing's musings.

Naturally, Ye Chen had not been soaked by the rain because, at the time, he was in her room.

Day turned to night, and a day passed.

It was an extremely quiet day, for Ye Chen had not shown up to cause trouble.

Yet, this silence made Qianyue Bing slightly uncomfortable, or perhaps it was because she hadn't seen Ye Chen for a day, which made her uneasy.

"Rumble rumble"

As night fell, dark clouds obscured the stars, and the miniature world again began to thunder and lash with heavy rain.

"It's raining again, and I don't know what Ye Chen is up to, he's been out of sight all day!" Qianyue Bing lay quietly on the bed, but her mind was anything but calm, inexplicably restless as she thought about Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, I love you."

In Yalina's room, the two of them lay facing each other, having thawed their previous enmity and developed feelings for each other.

The next day.

The third floor of the Wood Tower.

Qianyue Bing sat calmly, cultivating alone.

"Sigh!" Yalina hurried over, her cheeks slightly flushed, betraying a seductive charm.

"Yalina, what's been with you these past two days, why are you late again?" Qianyue Bing said.

"How can it be considered late, I've already arrived quite early!" Yalina responded.

"The sun is already three poles high!" Qianyue Bing reminded her.

"Three poles high..." Yalina's heart churned tumultuously, could Qianyue Bing have discovered something?

"How is your martial arts cultivation going?" Qianyue Bing suddenly asked. "My second martial arts technique is about to be perfected!"

"I haven't made progress in my martial arts, but my cultivation level has seen some breakthroughs!" Yalina smiled cryptically, her delicate fingers danced, emitting divine ripples, and quietly dissolving the void.

"This!" Yalina showed subtle signs, but Qianyue Bing, being a Land God, immediately sensed the terror in them.

Yalina's gesture seemed simple, yet it was fraught with great terror; her fingers danced, shattering the void. This level of cultivation surpassed her previous achievements; Yalina had indeed made another breakthrough!

However, as a Land God standing on the peak, even a small climb was fraught with danger and required enduring countless hardships. Yalina had just broken through, how could she have made another breakthrough so soon!

"You've just been promoted to Land God, how can your breakthrough be so rapid, don't you need to consolidate your cultivation?" Qianyue Bing asked with some confusion.
