Litian Cave Abode.

Ye Chen's days were leisurely. After his relationship with Yalina was exposed, Qian Yue Bing retreated to her room and locked herself in for three days.

Then she made a decision that made Yalina grit her teeth.

Qian Yue Bing seemed like a changed person, actually forgiving Ye Chen and even actively throwing herself into his arms, which felt very unreal.

However, Qian Yue Bing kept clinging to Ye Chen, and Yalina was not pleased!

Why should she?

"Qian Yue Bing, being so overbearing is not good. Yalina is also human; she will be hurt," Ye Chen said.

"When Yalina deceived me, why didn't she consider my feelings?" Clearly, Qian Yue Bing was retaliating.

"..."

"Then you clinging to me like this, what about Naimei Xue?" Ye Chen suddenly said with a playful smile.

"Once we are in the outside world, we will each go our separate ways, and no one will know anyone!" Qian Yue Bing said coldly.

"..."

As the days passed by, Ye Chen's relationship with the two women grew stronger, reaching a point where they were inseparable.

Moreover, they validated each other's martial arts, and their cultivation soared, reaching an Extreme Realm.

Ye Chen had long been at the zenith of ten dragons and felt the urge to break through.

With the training over this period, Ye Chen's feeling of breakthrough became stronger and stronger!

But, even though Ye Chen frequently felt it and could have ascended at any moment, he just couldn't make the leap and truly step forward.

However, even without ascending to a Land God, Ye Chen's combat power kept surging.

Yalina was the strongest in cultivation, but Ye Chen was now able to compete with her, even defeating her once!

Now, even if Yalina and Qian Yue Bing teamed up, facing Ye Chen, they couldn't display a crushing momentum.

Ye Chen was too strong, boundlessly powerful!

As Yalina said, through the ages, even though there have been ten dragons that battled Land Gods, none had ever been victorious.

Perhaps there were unknown geniuses who, with the body of ten dragons, could defeat a Land God, but that would be the most ordinary Land God!

To think of defeating a Supreme Battle Immortal at the peak of ten dragons was simply a fool's dream!

Especially since Yalina's cultivation was terrifying beyond measure, even surpassing that of a Supreme Battle Immortal!

Ye Chen being able to continuously compete with Yalina, even defeating her once, was an achievement that would shake the past and illuminate the present. If the outside world learned of Ye Chen's valor, it would undoubtedly cause an unimaginable upheaval.

Such a monstrous character was unprecedented!

Ye Chen was even hailed by Yalina as the strongest ten dragon in history!

Qian Yue Bing, too, deeply agreed with Yalina's evaluation.

They had both extensively read countless ancient texts and knew that there had never been such a terrifying ten-dragon being through the ages!

With such a vast foundation, Ye Chen, at the peak of ten dragons, was already on par with high-level battle immortals, destined to become the most earth-shattering being once he ascended to a Land God.

But, such a massive foundation also made it very difficult for Ye Chen to ascend!

Ye Chen's days in the cave were comfortable, but he also wanted to leave the cave soon. After all, he had attachments in the outside world, yet the Emperor Litian did not leave his seclusion, which really vexed Ye Chen. The only relief was the goddess...

However, Ye Chen could never have imagined that three years would pass in the blink of an eye!

And the Emperor Litian had still not left his seclusion!

This cave abode was like a huge cage, making Ye Chen want to escape at every moment.

But, as the cave was a domain created by the Emperor, and with Ye Chen's cultivation, he simply couldn't break this realm, so he couldn't leave.

Over these three years, Ye Chen deeply studied the martial techniques in Wood Tower, mastering hundreds of peerless martial techniques. The power he unleashed was even unstoppable by Yalina!

But he still hadn't ascended to a Land God.

The days in the cave were too dull, driving Ye Chen almost mad.

Ye Chen suffered in the cave abode, constantly lamenting.

But, due to his disappearance, the women in his life were also enduring hardships in the outside world.

One month passed since Ye Chen disappeared, then two months, three months. Some people were still wary of him, given his remaining influence.

But after a year, two years, three years, no one spared him a thought anymore, as no one cares about a dead man!

Under such circumstances, no one believed he was still alive, except for women like Su Binglan.

Wanshi Medicine's development was booming, dominating much of the global medical market, particularly popular for their Beauty Preserving Elixir and Body-Shaping Elixir.

Such a huge cake was constantly coveted by others, and even Su Binglan had turned against her own family.

If not for Chu Yanran, the business empress, stationed there, Wanshi Medicine would likely have fallen.

In addition to that, the entertainment company run by Zhang Xinlan grew rapidly. Liu Yingxiong, Li Yingjie, Liu Shihua, Li Yan, Yan Ruyu, and Li Nianwei, some stars, had produced numerous excellent works over three years. Even two of the films had grossed over two billion, dubbed box office miracles!

The vigorously developing Ye Film Industry naturally attracted some people's greed, wanting to forcibly invest in Ye Film Industry and occupy some of the company's resources. However, all were ruthlessly suppressed by Zhang Xinlan.

Chu Yanran was also strategizing. She nearly finished handling the treasures left by Ye Chen, selling some to South America, some to the Black Triangle, and some to East Africa. In short, the treasures that Ye Chen left behind had all turned into a large amount of cash.

Chu Yanran didn't convert all those treasures into money; she deposited one hundred billion into Ye Chen's Swiss bank account, and the rest became properties in Ye Chen's name, including an oil field, a gold mine…

Ye Chen's obvious assets were unstoppable even in the hundreds of billions!

Wanshi Medicine, Ye Film Industry, and those exchanged treasures, Ye Chen's wealth even surpassed Chu Yanran's!

Moreover, a few factions were deliberately targeting Zhang Xinlan and these women!

During one of Liu Shihua's martial arts scenes, suddenly a stunt actor attacked her, unexpectedly unleashing Grandmaster-level combat strength!

However, Liu Shihua had been mentored by the departing Ye Chen a while ago, and over these three years, she had even ascended to the rank of Grandmaster using treasures left by Ye Chen!

The Grandmaster who attacked Liu Shihua not only gained no advantage but instead had his arm broken by Liu Shihua and fled in haste.

After Liu Shihua was attacked, Zhang Xinlan, Li Yan, and Chu Yanran were also subjected to varying degrees of assaults.

However, before leaving, Ye Chen had left behind ample resources, including the meaty elixirs of the strongest fowls and some rare spirit grasses and Martial Way Holy Elixirs. The women of the Ye Family Ladies' Group had all ascended to Grandmaster status!

So, even though some intentionally targeted them and even spent a great deal of resources to hire experts to assault the women, Chu Yanran and the others were safe and sound.

In these three years, the exterior's situation had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Perhaps it was because a great cataclysm was approaching, more and more powerful martial artists descended into the secular world.

These people had originally withdrawn from society, hiding away in the deep mountains and dense forests to cultivate in solitude. The chaotic world exploded and brought them all out.

While Grandmaster martial artists were not everywhere, their numbers were indeed vast ≮ and numerous figures, recluses and extraordinary individuals vied to appear in the world, causing a major shake-up of the forty-nine positions of the Qingyun List!

Grandmasters emerged incessantly, with figures such as the Nine Revered Dragons and Ten Ascending Dragons making their presence felt!

Even, the onset of this chaotic era had startled quite a few Land Gods!

Land Gods were extremely rare, with only a handful known to the public. However, that didn't mean there were only these few Land Gods in the world.

Not only in Huaxia, but Land Gods were also spotted in regions such as Europe, America, and South America.

A surge of powerful figures arose, the situation was on the brink of exploding like an impending storm.

"Three years, Xiang Han has transformed into a high-end battle immortal!"

"Three years, the world's structure has greatly changed, a fierce storm is about to strike!"

"Three years, the protective force of the cave still remains, Ye Chen has yet to appear, still alive or dead unknown!"

"After another three years, I will have Transcended the Other Shore!"

Yun Zheyue was still stationed in Luoshi City. As long as the secrets of the cave were not revealed, Yun Zheyue dared not leave.

In these three years, Yun Zheyue had been striding forward fiercely on the road to Transcendence; her divine might grew increasingly dense, baring the essence of someone who could transcend at any moment.

These past three years she had been seated high, akin to an invincible deity, never once having faltered; Yun Zheyue was on the path to Transcendence!

"Ye Chen, did you really die?"

Yun Zheyue's eyes brimmed with a divine radiance, striving to peer through the world within the cave and determine Ye Chen's current situation.

"I'm about to Transcend, if you've died, who will inherit my position?" Yun Zheyue sighed softly.

Litian Cave Abode.

Early morning.

Ye Chen sat at the top of Wood Tower, watching the proud sun rise, its divine radiance shining down.

"Three years have passed, I wonder what has happened in the outside world, my wives, they haven't all thought I died and married someone else, have they…" Ye Chen thought about this and felt a pang of fear.

Ye Chen had silently disappeared for three years, even if those women had married and had children, it wouldn't be surprising, since he had vanished without a trace.

Yet, even understanding all of this, he still found some aspects hard to accept.

"Ye Chen, you're daydreaming again!" Yalina approached, her steps through the void graceful as if a phoenix dancing, and she settled down next to Ye Chen.

Qianyue Bing glanced at Yalina, then also sat next to Ye Chen, snuggling up to him.

They were the only three people in the cave abode. Over these three years, aside from cultivating, Yalina and Qianyue Bing had been competing for favor.

They were thoroughly familiar with each other's tactics; neither could do anything against the other.

"This kind of happiness isn't bad!" Ye Chen suddenly laughed for no apparent reason.

"Ye Chen, when will Emperor Litian leave seclusion?" Qianyue Bing asked softly.

Qianyue Bing had adapted to this life. If Emperor Litian suddenly left seclusion, she wouldn't know what to do in the outside world.

Would she return to her island country or stay by Ye Chen's side? After all, by now she was completely Ye Chen's woman.

"I thought he would leave seclusion three years ago. Who knew he still hasn't shown up? I'm beginning to suspect that Emperor Litian might have died during seclusion," Ye Chen grimaced and said.

Emperor Litian had only mentioned needing a few days to assimilate the power of the Other Shore's Corpse King, but those few days had turned into years. Ye Chen was nearly driven mad by the confinement in the cave abode.
