Master Qi Li condensed the Other Shore Palace and controlled the treasures of the heavens. Everyone knew she was strong, but just how strong was she?
"My master's cultivation is very strong, almost touching the Saint level, and she also controls the treasures of the heavens, possessing the qualifications to clash with Saints!" Leng Aofu said, "But, my master once told me that among the twelve Masters, the strongest is not her but Master Lingyun!"
"Master Lingyun?"
Master Lingyun was stunningly beautiful, yet her demeanor was detached, and her power was terrifying, presumably not easy to conquer.
"What is Master Qi Li's personality like?" Ye Chen inquired further.
"My master's temper is quite good. Even though she's very dignified in front of others, she is very amiable in private!" Leng Aofu said.
"Oh."
Ye Chen harbored intentions towards Master Qi Li, because her unparalleled charm, the image of a mature and beautiful woman, and her noble and elegant temperament, had lingered in his mind.
"There are twelve golden hairpins in the Baihua Palace; aside from the seven that I have met, who are the other five Masters?" Ye Chen asked.
"The other five are Master Qing Ya, Master Wei Xiang, Master Mei Can, Master Yi Ran, and Master Zi Yan!" Leng Aofu said.
"Do any of the twelve Masters have any particular hobbies?" Ye Chen suddenly asked.
"Their minds are all set on cultivation; they don't have any special hobbies!" Leng Aofu said, blinking.
"Eh." Ye Chen smacked his lips.
"Right, Master Bai Ning and Supreme Master Tian Yu, they both like rare things!" Leng Aofu suddenly remembered something.
"Rare things?" A hint of intrigue flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.
"Ye Chen, why are you asking about these things?"
Leng Aofu couldn't understand why Ye Chen was asking these questions.
"What do you think?" Ye Chen replied with a teasing smile.
"Scoundrel!" Seeing Ye Chen's smile, Leng Aofu knew he was up to no good.
The next day.
Leng Aofu left before dawn to avoid attracting attention.
"Fairy Qin Yan, why haven't you returned? Are you afraid of me?" Ye Chen was thinking about Qin Yan, that beautiful fairy.
Qin Yan was Ye Chen's primary target, but he had frightened her away; she had not come back for two months, which left him feeling quite regretful.
Qin Yan held a higher status than Leng Aofu, surrounded by numerous admirers. If Ye Chen could control her, it would mean controlling the majority of the disciples.
In doing so, Ye Chen would have initially completed his mission. Once he got control of the twelve golden hairpins, he would have completed the task set by his ancestor.
The Ye Family had been cursed, leading to the withering of its talents. Ancestor Ye Tianshi, a man of great ambition, wanted to break the curse and defeat that unknown formidable enemy!
Being a Saint, Ye Tianshi had to lay out his plans over a long period, careful at each step, illustrating the might of their adversary.
All members of the Ye Family shouldered missions, but Ye Chen's task was the most crucial—to take control of Baihua Palace!
The vast influence of the Baihua Palace was needed to defeat that unknown enemy; the Ye Family needed this powerful support!
In Baihua Palace, beauties were as common as clouds, especially the twelve Masters, each unparalleled and capable of bringing a kingdom to its knees. Ye Chen was very fond of this mission.
However, Ye Chen had come to the Canglan Realm only to look for his parents; he did not want to accept this task, which would trap him!
Ye Chen did not wish to be a pawn, but he could not break free from the game; he had no choice but to accept his fate.
"Powerful!"
Ye Chen longed for power; he wanted to be free, carefree, and to transcend. He wanted to shatter the heavens and earth, to break this game.
He was not fighting for anyone else; he was fighting for himself. He wanted to reach Transcendence, to crush thousands of foes with a single punch.
"Supreme Master Tian Yu?"
Eventually, Ye Chen left the sanctuary of the grand hall and arrived at the heart of Baihua Palace, at the tallest and most magnificent hall.
After Ye Chen had become a disciple, seven of his masters had left for the forbidden lands of life, leaving only three Masters in the palace: Master Chu Qing, Supreme Master Tian Yu, and Master Qian Qiu.
Supreme Master Tian Yu, Master Bai Ning likes some unusual things, and Ye Chen, being a visitor from Earth, has a Qiankun Bag filled with "unusual" items.
Ye Chen wanted to use the pretext of offering treasures to take the opportunity to get close to Supreme Master Tian Yu and have a memorable master-disciple romance.
Supreme Master Tian Yu hadn't yet condensed the Other Shore Palace, nor did she control any of the treasures of the heavens, placing her only in the middle amongst the Twelve Golden Hairpins.
However, each of the Twelve Golden Hairpins was invincible, and for Supreme Master Tian Yu to rank in the middle was already very powerful.
After all, the number of people who had condensed the Other Shore Palace was too few, and the treasures of the heavens were even rarer.
Ye Chen had grasped the second form of Heavenly Emperor Fist, his combat power far exceeding Leng Aofu, but he certainly couldn't match Supreme Master Tian Yu.
Supreme Master Tian Yu had lived for endless years, her martial foundation was too deep... sometimes, just being alive is a form of strength!
"Disciple Ye Chen, greets Supreme Master Tian Yu!" Ye Chen shouted as he arrived in front of the holy temple.
"Ye Chen?"
The voice of Supreme Master Tian Yu echoed throughout heaven and earth, then the palace doors thunderously opened, allowing Ye Chen to enter.
Ye Chen stepped into the palace; it was magnificent, far surpassing the abode where Ye Chen resided, because this was the dwelling of a Supreme Master.
Ultimately, Ye Chen arrived inside the palace and saw the beautiful figure of Supreme Master Tian Yu seated in a place of honor.
Supreme Master Tian Yu was strikingly stunning, possessing a unique aesthetic beauty, definitely the type Ye Chen favored.
But Supreme Master Tian Yu had an imposing majesty, an inviolable aura, causing Ye Chen not to dare act the slightest bit presumptuous.
"Disciple pays respect to Master!" Ye Chen said respectfully.
"Ye Chen, Leng Aofu has already Transcended the Other Shore, surpassing you in one stroke. Why aren't you focusing on your cultivation instead of coming here?" Supreme Master Tian Yu said.
Supreme Master Tian Yu was not over three hundred years old, still considered young among the Supreme Masters. She gave off a fresh feeling and did not possess the dignified elegance.
"I am practicing the strongest path. It's difficult to break through the Other Shore, but once one Transcends the Other Shore, they will be stronger than everyone!" Ye Chen said. "Leng may temporarily be stronger than me now, but she is destined to be surpassed by me!"
Ye Chen's confidence was sharp and astonishing, even causing Supreme Master Tian Yu to be startled.
"Very good." Supreme Master Tian Yu nodded. "In the journey of cultivation, one must stride forward boldly, but solid foundations are also needed. You have a good temperament!"
"Thank you for your praise, Master!" Ye Chen said with a modest air.
"Ye Chen, I haven't seen you for so long, what brings you to see me today?" Supreme Master Tian Yu asked curiously.
After being taken in as a disciple by them, Ye Chen had always been immersed in cultivation, seemingly solidifying his Dao fruit.
Ye Chen's sudden visit today caught Supreme Master Tian Yu by surprise. What was he up to?
"I heard Master likes strange curiosities, so today I have come to present some treasures!" Ye Chen said, flashing a smile to Supreme Master Tian Yu.
"Present treasures?" Supreme Master Tian Yu said, puzzled.
"Boom!"
As Supreme Master Tian Yu was astonished, a massive object suddenly fell in front of Ye Chen, a Hummer vehicle from Earth made a flashy entrance.
"What is this?" Supreme Master Tian Yu said, her beautiful eyes widening.
"This is a car, a tool for transportation!" Ye Chen said.
"A tool for transportation?" Supreme Master Tian Yu said, intrigued.
"Master, please get in. I'll take you for a spin!" Ye Chen climbed into the Hummer and, opening the car door, spoke to his master.
"Take for a spin?"
