Chapter 131: The Twenty-Fivefold Guide

Watching Ye Chen leave, Ye Hong sighed deeply. He then turned to his second son and said, “Go to the Green Cloud Sect’s gate and bring Ye Tian back. Tell him his grandfather misses him.”

The eldest son of the Ye family quietly shrank back into the corner. If his son had to take a beating, so be it. As long as the old man didn’t hold him accountable, he was content. After all, it was his own fault for getting drunk and spilling the secret to Ye Tian.

But the next moment, Ye Hong looked at his eldest son with a steely gaze. “Come with me.”

The rest of the family watched silently, offering no sympathy. It was deserved. Ye Chen’s breakthrough to Foundation Establishment should have been the Ye family’s greatest gain. In the future, they could even become one of Green Cloud Sect’s top families. Despite the past conflicts, as long as they were a family, everything could be resolved.

But now, all of it was ruined because of that fool, Ye Tian.

…

On the flying boat, Ye Chen shook his head. After making things clear, Ye Hong no longer tried to hide anything. But what he knew was limited.

When Ye Hong’s father brought Ye Tianhe back, he only said that Ye Tianhe was the child of a friend who had met with an unfortunate fate and left behind a fortune for Ye Hong to care for.

Ye Hong was asked to raise Ye Tianhe as his own son. As for the details, Ye Hong didn’t know much. He only knew that the inheritance was considerable, and during that time, the Ye family’s allocation of medicinal pills increased significantly.

But Ye Hong’s father had passed away long ago, and Ye Chen’s father, Ye Tianhe, was nowhere to be found as well. There were no leads to follow. However, since he couldn’t figure it out now, Ye Chen decided not to worry about it. One day, when he became powerful enough to uncover everything, the truth would naturally come to light.

Ye Chen sat quietly in a meditative posture, reflecting on the changes and gains after his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to cultivate.

The problem was that he didn’t have a Foundation Establishment cultivation method. There was nothing to practice.

Divine Will City was indeed quite far. Even though Ye Chen was now at the Foundation Establishment stage, it would still take him a full week to reach there.

…

Boom!

A second-tier demonic beast, the Blaze Bird, extended its claws from the clouds and lunged at Ye Chen with a thunderous strike.

However, the flying boat’s defensive array activated automatically and blocked the attack. The flying boat rocked slightly, and Ye Chen opened his eyes.

“Today is the seventh day, we should be close now!”

He looked up and saw the Blaze Bird circling again, letting out another shrill cry as it flew back toward him.

Ye Chen’s eyes glowed with a red light.

Sensing something was wrong, the Blaze Bird immediately tried to retreat. But two beams of divine light shot out, moving faster than could be imagined. Another loud boom echoed, and the second-tier demonic Blaze Bird exploded into a brilliant firework.

Ye Chen steered the flying boat forward, floating past the debris. By noon, the outline of a massive city appeared before Ye Chen. The scale of the city was at least ten times that of Green Cloud City.

The city walls were tall, standing over fifty to sixty meters high. On the walls, intricate patterns of arrays could be faintly seen. The city exuded an air of authority.

However, even in Divine Will City, Foundation Establishment cultivators weren’t a dime a dozen. Upon Ye Chen’s arrival, he was immediately directed to the Foundation Establishment passage.

There was no entrance fee. After registering his identity and receiving a token, he could directly enter Divine Will City.

Stepping inside, the city was teeming with cultivators. The streets were lined with shops, and the bustle was overwhelming. In fact, as soon as Ye Chen glanced around, he spotted a Foundation Establishment cultivator walking among the crowd.

In Green Cloud City, encountering a Foundation Establishment cultivator was far from easy.

“Senior, would you like a guide? I’ve lived in Divine Will City all my life and know everything here like the back of my hand. I’m very affordable, just one low-grade spiritual stone a day.”

“Senior, it seems like this is your first time here in Divine Will City. If you’re looking to buy something, I can give you some recommendations!”

Upon entering, a group of local cultivators immediately approached Ye Chen, offering their services.

Ye Chen had initially planned to casually pick one to learn more about Divine Will City.
