The Saint Jue Qing once promised Ye Chen that after he became the Saint Heir, he would let him take charge of the Law Enforcement Hall.
However, Qian Qiu suddenly restored her cultivation and even took it to the next level, becoming an extremely powerful individual, which caught Jue Qing a bit off guard.
So, the Law Enforcement Hall would still be overseen by Qian Qiu, making it inconvenient for Ye Chen to preside.
Nonetheless, because of the prior promise made to Ye Chen, Saint Jue Qing still needed to explain, to avoid Ye Chen feeling dissatisfied.
Ye Chen was a precious treasure, countless forces wished to recruit him. Saint Jue Qing considered everything meticulously to retain Ye Chen.
"Right now, I need to comprehend, cultivate, and seek the Dao. The affairs of the Law Enforcement Hall are busy and not suited for me!" Ye Chen said. "Qian Qiu is very familiar with the Law Enforcement Hall, so let her continue to preside. My foremost priority now is cultivation and seeking the Dao to become a Saint!"
Ye Chen appeared very carefree, seemingly indifferent to fame and fortune, not bowing to power.
In fact, all the twelve beauties were his women. It didn't matter to whom the power was given, why should Ye Chen trouble himself over this?
"Qian Qiu, Qing Ya, Zi Yan, Mei Can... their life palaces were shattered, their cultivation lost. It was difficult for them to recover in their lifetime!"
"But, overnight, not only did they restore their cultivation, they also made further progress, which is simply unbelievable!"
"Could it be that the Heavenly Dao favors Baihua Palace, so that our Baihua Palace can rise in this life?" Saint Jue Qing held his forehead and said.
"..."
Ye Chen's expression became somewhat strange when he heard Saint Jue Qing's muttering.
The restoration of Qing Ya, Qian Qiu, and others was not due to the Heavenly Dao favoring Baihua Palace, but because of him, and nothing more.
"Ye Chen, can't you still seek the Dao to become a Saint with your current cultivation?" Saint Jue Qing suddenly looked at Ye Chen and asked.
Ye Chen's cultivation was enough to challenge human kings and dominate, could he still not seek the Dao?
Qin Changtian, Gu Yongheng, Jun Tianyou, these kings among prodigies, all dared not easily seek the Dao, fearing losing the Heavenly Dao's favor.
However, Ye Chen was the protagonist of the current era. Even if he sought the Dao to become a Saint, he could still receive the Heavenly Dao's favor.
So, Ye Chen's path was opposite to that of Qin Changtian and Gu Yongheng!
But it seemed difficult for Ye Chen to seek the Dao, which made Saint Jue Qing somewhat astonished. Ye Chen was already so powerful, yet he still couldn't seek the Dao?
"My Dao is not ordinary. Seeking the Dao to become a Saint is indeed too difficult. At least for now, I cannot seek the Dao!" Ye Chen did not conceal anything, directly laying out the matter.
The Heavenly Emperor Fist is the number one technique of all time. Once Ye Chen sought the Dao to become a Saint through it, he would definitely surpass ancient and modern, becoming the strongest Saint!
Yet, this step was too difficult to take!
Once Ye Chen took this step, he would become an invincible legend, a timeless myth, its difficulty was imaginable!
"The road to seeking the Dao is extremely arduous, do not lose patience, do not be anxious!" Saint Jue Qing said.
"Disciple thanks the Palace Master for the concern!" Ye Chen looked deeply grateful. "Palace Master is indeed a good Palace Master of Baihua Palace, caring for every disciple meticulously and personally guiding them... On behalf of all the disciples of Baihua Palace, I thank the Palace Master for the meticulous care!"
"..."
Ye Chen's acting was extremely exaggerated, making Saint Jue Qing feel strange. Ye Chen was definitely doing this to curry favor, blatantly flattering!
Yet, Ye Chen's blatant flattery made people feel very comfortable!
Saint Jue Qing grew more and more optimistic about Ye Chen, feeling this young man had potential!
"Palace Master, you are closing yourself off this time to become a human king?" Ye Chen suddenly asked.
Ye Chen wanted to control Baihua Palace completely, to have everything firmly in hand!
But if Jue Qing became a human king, Ye Chen could not control it!
The realm of a Saint King was unfathomable, vastly stronger than a regular Saint. A human king could battle ten Saints, that was the difference between them.
Ye Chen now also had the combat strength of a human king, genuine Saint King combat strength without any falsehood.
Saint Jue Qing in Baihua Palace could activate the Protective Sect Formation and even use the Divine Artifact, making Ye Chen very apprehensive.
However, Jue Qing not becoming a human king already made Ye Chen feel it was tricky, what if Jue Qing became a human king?
Saint Jue Qing was a great threat. If he became a Saint King, it would be a great calamity for Ye Chen!
"Indeed, I am about to become a human king!" Saint Jue Qing said. "Perhaps the great calamity is approaching, the Heavenly Dao begins to favor all beings, allowing everyone to gain blessings. I just benefited from this to become a human king!"
"Heavenly Dao's favor?" Ye Chen asked in astonishment.
"In fact, it's not just me. Even Dao Yi, Xuanyang, Tuoba Huangshan, Jin Chixiao... the hundred Saints of Canglan are all progressing, all striving to become human kings!" Saint Jue Qing said.
"The beginning of chaos is the flourishing age!" Ye Chen murmured to himself.
"Exactly!" Saint Jue Qing nodded. "Chaos is exactly the flourishing age! All heavens, myriad worlds, billions of beings, all receive the favor of the Heavenly Dao, breaking through their original bottlenecks and further advancing!"
"Many realms?" Ye Chen inexplicably thought of Earth.
The spiritual energy of Earth has always been thin, but it has birthed many strong individuals. As this calamity descends, all realms are transforming, experiencing all kinds of incredible changes. He wondered what Earth would look like now.
"Ye Chen, I will soon be entering seclusion to seek a breakthrough to Saint King. During this time, you must replace me and guard Baihua Palace!" said Saint Jue Qing.
"Rest assured, Palace Master, I swear to defend Baihua Palace to the death!" Ye Chen vowed earnestly.
"I'm asking you to look after it, not to throw your life away!" Saint Jue Qing laughed. "The chaos has just begun to show signs, and temporarily, there will be no wars. We still have enough time!"
"Ye Chen, you have grievances with Dao Yi and other Saints. They are all striving to break through and become peerless human kings to counter the great calamity!"
"They cannot handle you now, so they lay low for the moment. Once they become human kings, they will reveal their true colors and seek revenge on you!"
"Therefore, do not neglect your cultivation. If you can prove the Dao and become a Saint, and I achieve the state of a peerless human king, we will fear no one!"
The apocalyptic calamity is about to descend, and everyone is enhancing themselves, wanting to survive the great calamity.
This is a critical period. Anyone who falters will be eliminated by the grand era, sinking and rising with the calamity.
Saint Jue Qing was warning Ye Chen not to forget his original aspiration and to cultivate diligently, lest he be swept away and drowned in the flood of calamity.
"Palace Master, there is something I've wanted to tell you for a long time!" Ye Chen looked at Saint Jue Qing and suddenly said.
"What is it?" Saint Jue Qing asked curiously.
"I love you!" Ye Chen said.
"Ye Chen, are you out of your mind? How dare you speak to me like this?" Saint Jue Qing said coldly.
"Jue Qing, I truly love you. Without you, I can't live!" Ye Chen seemed to have gone mad, recklessly confessing his love.
"Scoundrel, do you dare defy me?"
Saint Jue Qing's eyes were sharp as she stared coldly at Ye Chen, thinking he must be out of his mind to suddenly say such things!
"Jue Qing, haven't you forgotten Qin Changtian?" Ye Chen said. "I defeated Qin Changtian; he is no longer worthy of you. Only I can be your man!"
"Ye Chen, get out!" Saint Jue Qing pointed at Ye Chen, her small hand trembling.
"Jue Qing, I know you and Qin Changtian ate the forbidden fruit, but I won't mind. I love you and want to protect you for life. Can you give me this chance?" Ye Chen said passionately.
"If you dare say any more nonsense, I will kill you!" Saint Jue Qing was so furious she could barely speak. Ye Chen was simply slandering her! When had she ever eaten the forbidden fruit with Qin Changtian? Hadn't she explained that they hadn't even held hands? How could they have done anything indecent?
"Qing'er, you don't need to pretend anymore, I know!" Ye Chen's call of "Qing'er" was nauseating, making people's skin crawl.
"Ye Chen, I beg you to stop talking. You're making me sick!" Saint Jue Qing said. "What on earth is wrong with you? Why are you destroying me like this? What's happened to you?"
Ye Chen's behavior was very odd, seeming like he had gone mad. Saint Jue Qing suspected Ye Chen had a mental breakdown.
"I am simply confessing to the one I love!" Ye Chen's words were clear, not at all like someone having a breakdown. "Qing'er, I love you. Let's become a pair of lovebirds, flying together forever!"
"Boom!"
Ye Chen was so disgusting that Saint Jue Qing's scalp tingled, and she instinctively took action.
Saint Jue Qing's expression turned icy and she formed a jade hand, fiercely grabbing at Ye Chen.
"Qing'er, I love you so much. Why are you treating me like this?" Ye Chen extinguished the grabbing jade hand and said to Saint Jue Qing with sadness.
"Ye Chen, what is wrong with you? Why are you suddenly acting insane? Do you even know what you're doing?"
"Great Compassionate and Merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva..."
Saint Jue Qing lightly chanted the Heart Clarity Spell, hoping to calm Ye Chen's agitation.
"This girl is so adorable!" Ye Chen inexplicably laughed upon seeing Saint Jue Qing chant the spell.
Ye Chen suddenly started acting erratically, recklessly confessing his love to Saint Jue Qing, but he wasn't truly insane.
Saint Jue Qing was about to go into seclusion to become a peerless human king. If she succeeded, Ye Chen would be in trouble.
So Ye Chen suddenly pretended to be crazy, madly confessing his love to Saint Jue Qing, to disrupt her state of mind and prevent her breakthrough!
This method might be despicable, but it was certainly effective!
To become invincible, one must possess an invincible state of mind!
Just like Ye Chen's Heavenly Emperor Heart, as long as he slowly built momentum, one day he could transform into the Heavenly Emperor, dominating the cosmos!
However, if there is a flaw in the state of mind, many problems will arise, hindering cultivation progress.
"Qing'er, Qing'er, I love you, like a mouse loves rice, nibbling on you bite by bite!"
