Ye Chen had many women by his side, and it was rare for them to gather together, but because he was about to leave, almost all of them assembled.

However, Yalina was in the Western Divine Court, and though she knew that Ye Chen was leaving, she couldn't manage to come for the time being. There was also the female general, Xu Qingling, who was currently tied up with official duties and overseeing the military, so she couldn't find the time to meet with Ye Chen either.

Besides these two women, all of Ye Chen's women had gathered!

Shopping, dining, sightseeing—Ye Chen spent his time with them in various frivolous activities, fully enjoying these last moments.

A week later, Ye Chen left the capital and went to the Huabei Military Region.

Before leaving, Ye Chen wanted to visit the old commander, and Xu Qingling was also at the Huabei Military Region!

Old Yang Shouye was still as majestic as ever. Though he aged more each day, he possessed a fierce presence!

Huaxia's military soul, forever legendary!

Ye Chen and Yang Shouye had a lengthy secret conversation, and in the end, Ye Chen left a pile of medicinal pills and said goodbye to this wise old man.

Then, Ye Chen went to Xu Qingling's residence and saw Huaxia's foremost female general!

Xu Qingling was as beautiful as ever. With Ye Chen's medicinal pills to aid her, her cultivation became increasingly powerful.

Because she had long held a high position, Xu Qingling had developed a demeanor unique to those in power.

This woman's charm was becoming increasingly astonishing!

Xu Qingling focused all her energy on her work, burying her feelings for Ye Chen deep in her heart. Ye Chen's sudden appearance by her side felt surreal, like a dream to her.

Ye Chen spent two days with Xu Qingling, eventually leaving behind some medicinal pills, martial arts techniques, and personal defense weapons. He left the Huabei Military Region somewhat melancholy.

In the following days, Ye Chen traveled through Huaxia, visiting Yi Shuiqing, Na Wudao, Liu Dalong, Sun Haiping, You Tianyi...

Ultimately, after arranging everything and just when he was about to start his journey, the Great Venerable of the Other Shore returned!

"Are you heading to the Canglan Realm?" Great Venerable of the Other Shore asked Ye Chen.

"Yes," Ye Chen nodded in response.

The term of the Great Venerable of the Other Shore was approaching, and she approached Ye Chen and was even willing to serve him to get the Transcendent Flower.

The Transcendent Flower could help one transcend the other shore, and the Great Venerable only needed to leap to become divine; this flower could help her break through her ultimate limit.

"The person I asked you to find, did you find them?" Ye Chen asked.

Ye Chen wanted to train a group of experts, so he had the Great Venerable roam the world, seeking out talented individuals.

"The situation is becoming more chaotic, and many strong figures are looking to nurture talents," the Great Venerable of the Other Shore said. "During this journey, I only found one genius, my chief disciple!"

Many powerhouses were lurking in the world secretly seeking out and quietly nurturing talents. Thus, the Great Venerable of the Other Shore's journey was not very fruitful; she only found one genius and even took them as her disciple.

"In that case, let it be," Ye Chen sighed.

When calamity descends, martial arts geniuses are strategic resources, and it was to be expected that they'd be hard to find.

Furthermore, Ye Chen didn't want to delay any longer; otherwise, he would have put the effort into setting up his bodyguard company.

"Ye Chen, the Transcendent Flower..." the Great Venerable of the Other Shore pondered.

In fact, regarding the Transcendent Flower, she felt somewhat embarrassed to speak about it.

Ye Chen asked her to find talented young people, and she only found one, whom she then took as a disciple...

The Great Venerable of the Other Shore blushed even mentioning the Transcendent Flower, but she had no choice because it was a matter of life and death for her!

"You can have it!" Ye Chen nodded.

"Really?" the Great Venerable of the Other Shore was overjoyed.

In her eyes, Ye Chen was a bit of a jester, petty at heart, and fond of bullying goddesses!

The Great Venerable of the Other Shore reluctantly asked for the Transcendent Flower; she didn't expect Ye Chen to agree so readily.

"This is a Transcendent Flower!" Ye Chen pulled out a Transcendent Flower from his Qiankun Bag. "Now, I'm giving it to you!"

"This!" The Great Venerable of the Other Shore stared at the Transcendent Flower, her gaze intensified, forgetting even to breathe.

"What, what do you want me to do?" the Great Venerable of the Other Shore took the Transcendent Flower, her hands trembling with excitement.

"I am about to leave this realm, but I can't let go of my women. I hope you can guard them for me!" Ye Chen said.

"Only this much?" the Emperor asked in surprise.

"Only this much!" Ye Chen said.

Ye Chen's sincerity left the Emperor stunned.

Ye Chen's purity amazed the Emperor!

"I trust you, so I am giving you the flower of the other shore. Do not let me down!" Ye Chen said.

"Rest assured, as long as I break through the great limit, I will protect them until you return!" the Emperor solemnly said.

"Thank you!" Ye Chen said.

Not long after the Emperor left, Li Qian Ge came looking for him, her gaze cold and filled with strong resentment.

"What's wrong?" Ye Chen smiled.

"My adopted father has betrothed me to you, and now you are going to the Canglan Realm... What about me?" Li Qian Ge said.

Li Qian Ge was the adopted daughter of Na Wudao and dearly beloved by the old Dragon King, but Na Wudao, to ally with Ye Chen, coerced Li Qian Ge into marrying Ye Chen.

Although Li Qian Ge felt indifferent toward Ye Chen, his neglect was too apparent. She was so beautiful, yet this guy hardly ever took a good look at her.

Thus, knowing that Ye Chen was about to leave, Li Qian Ge immediately came over, eager to confront and blame Ye Chen.

"Just wait peacefully for a few years. Once I return from Canglan, I will marry you!" Ye Chen's smile was gentle, bathing her in a spring breeze.

Li Qian Ge gave Ye Chen a peculiar look. He seemed so odd today; his eyes were devoid of any worldly thoughts. Could it be that he had truly reformed?

"Qian Ge, how is He Bingyun doing? Has she thought of escaping?" Ye Chen asked.

He Bingyun, from an ancient family, tried to dominate Ye Chen with an overbearing approach, only to be captured by him instead.

Ye Chen did not trouble He Bingyun but instead handed her over to the Emperor and Li Qian Ge, asking them to watch over the lady from this ancient family.

"No. She's very self-aware, knowing she couldn't escape and has been waiting for her family to rescue her!" Li Qian Ge said.

Li Qian Ge's heart rippled because Ye Chen, stripped of his evil, truly seemed charming... especially when Ye Chen called her Qian Ge—Li Qian Ge did not repulse but felt strangely close.

"The current situation is chaotic, but as long as the great calamity hasn't descended, the ancient families won't stir," Ye Chen said. "This atmosphere can remain stable for a long time; the ancient families won't be able to intervene soon. You and the Emperor need not worry about He Bingyun; treat her like a foot-washing maid!"

"Hmm." Li Qian Ge obediently nodded.

The pretentious aura around Ye Chen had dissipated, leaving him enveloped in tranquility, exuding an unadorned charm that made Li Qian Ge inexplicably want to draw near.

"When I return, to marry me?" Li Qian Ge secretly glanced at Ye Chen, contemplating whether to wait for this man.

Three days later. Liu Shihua cried, Zhang Xinlan cried, Chu Yanran cried, Yun Xianghan cried, Lin Ying cried, Li Yan cried, Qianyue Bing cried... all the women cried because Ye Chen had left.

The greater the reluctance, the deeper the heartache.

Ye Chen left resolutely, not wanting to hurt himself or those women.

Ye Chen's journey was fraught with uncertainties, and he couldn't be sure when he would return. To prevent any accidents, he exerted all his efforts, making every arrangement he could think of to create a good environment for his women.

"Hopefully, when I return, everything will be as it was, and my beloved will remain the same."

Ye Chen soared into the clouds, looking down at the capital city, at the great dragon vein, at this familiar place, as if he wanted to remember something.

Eventually, Ye Chen turned away, heading to the furthest south of the heavens, to an ancient site unknown.

To break the barriers between two realms and travel freely between them, only the Great Venerable of the Other Shore could do it!

Although Ye Chen's battle prowess was supreme, he couldn't break through the void and had to rely on other methods to enter the Canglan Realm.

Plough Heaven told Ye Chen about an ancient site, which housed an altar. Those who stepped onto the altar could enter Canglan.

Ye Chen sought to enter the Canglan Realm and had to find that altar.

After a day's crossing, Ye Chen arrived at the Antarctic ice land, the furthest south of the heavens, where the altar was located.

However, upon reaching the Antarctic ice land, Ye Chen did not rush to find the altar but instead halted his steps, as if waiting for something.

In this vast world of ice and snow, Ye Chen's figure stood out strangely and appeared somewhat lonely. But soon, he was no longer alone because someone came to accompany him.

This was a graceful woman, her gaze colder than ice and snow, her aura transcendent, her beauty indescribable, not partaking in the worldly dust... She seemed not to belong to this realm.

"Yun Zheyue?" Ye Chen saw Yun Zheyue and showed surprise on his face.
