Chapter 1097: Transmitting the Secret Technique

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Wangtian Pavilion was extremely lively, with the sounds of exploding furnaces rising and falling, creating a considerable din. The spectators began to curse, retreating repeatedly as those nearby were affected.

At that moment, on the alchemy cloud platform, only thirty to fifty people remained. They had firm minds and were not disturbed by Ye Chen producing a pill in half an hour; they still diligently controlled the flames. For this third round of selection, there was no time limit, only three portions of alchemy materials. As long as you didn't use them up, you could refine until next year, but the premise was that you could withstand the consumption.

On the high seat, Zhuan Shi Yun was in a good mood. Not far away, Yue Zhen and his group had unpleasant expressions. Their purpose for this trip was to compete with the Zhu Que family for alchemists, but the most outstanding one was their opponent. They could imagine that upon returning, they would inevitably be scolded by Ku Yue: even a junior alchemist couldn't be handled, what's the use of you all.

Thinking of this, Yue Zhen and the six of them always glanced sideways at the private room where Ye Chen was, their eyes filled with resentment, even gnashing their teeth. Ye Chen's existence made them feel a strong threat; he must not be left alive.

“Fight with me? You're far from it!”

Ye Chen sneered, naturally feeling their malicious gazes.

Hm?

Suddenly, Ye Chen frowned and turned his head to look in another direction. In the crowd, he found the figure of the Yan Tian Daoist. Just in the previous second, he clearly sensed someone using a divination secret technique to spy on him.

“Really think I'm made of paper!”

Ye Chen withdrew his gaze and operated the Zhou Tian Evolution to cover his own opportunities. Then, he took out two identical secret scrolls from his bosom and handed them to Nian Wei and Mu Wanqing respectively.

“What is this?”

Mu Wanqing took it and looked at Ye Chen doubtfully.

“Divination secret technique.”

“Divination secret technique?”

Mu Wanqing was stunned, not expecting Ye Chen to pass on such a profound secret method to them. You know, this kind of secret method is a supreme treasure, and now Ye Chen was so generous to teach it to her; how could she not be surprised.

“Thank you, Sheng Zhu.”

Nian Wei smiled charmingly and put away the secret scroll, planning to study it well when she returned.

“As someone who runs a gambling house, it's useful for you.”

Ye Chen looked at Mu Wanqing and smiled.

“But this is too precious.”

Mu Wanqing felt dizzy, happiness coming too suddenly, really caught off guard.

“Who let you be the elder sister-in-law?”

Ye Chen smiled and glanced at the Zhuan Shi Yun below. Since she was the beloved of his brother, he naturally wouldn't be stingy, just like when Xiong Er got married, he gave supreme wealth. Of course, the divination secret technique he passed to Nian Wei and Mu Wanqing was only a part of the Zhou Tian Evolution.

It wasn't that he didn't want to teach them the whole thing, but this Zhou Tian Evolution was not as simple as imagined. It had broken too many heavenly secrets and would suffer backlash from the void. After reaching the ultimate realm, the backlash was even more terrifying, conflicting with cultivation; every time you divined, your cultivation would drop a bit.

Regarding these, the Zhou Tian Evolution that Zhou Yi passed to him also recorded, which detailed the origin of Zhou Tian Evolution and the tribulations of those who cultivated it. Those who had exhausted their cultivation were between cultivators and mortals, and none ended well. For Zhou Tian Evolution, Ye Chen had always held an attitude of awe and caution, because this lineage was too mysterious.

So, what he taught to Nian Wei and Mu Wanqing was only a part, not the complete Zhou Tian Evolution. The purpose was simple: he didn't want the two to delve too deeply into this ancient inheritance. As for him, he was constantly pondering this supreme secret technique.

In the hundred years of the space black hole, he had more than once sought a way to crack it, but in the end, he couldn't find it. He had also thought about abolishing Zhou Tian Evolution, but he couldn't; he needed this secret technique to find the reincarnated ones. The vast heavens and myriad domains, countless ancient stars, without this kind of secret technique, even if he searched until death, he wouldn't find them all.

After an unknown period, he retracted his thoughts and silently looked towards the ethereal virtual sky, hoping to find all the reincarnated ones before his cultivation was exhausted.

“Oh right.”

Mu Wanqing, who was flipping through the secret scroll, seemed to think of something and looked at Ye Chen.

“My family’s ancestor wants to see you.”

“It would be my honor.”

Ye Chen smiled and did not refuse. Since it was a family ancestor, it must be an experienced old fellow; maybe he even knew about Kunlun Xu. He wouldn't miss this opportunity.

“In that case, after the alchemist selection ends.”

“Sheng Zhu, you should prepare well! After this alchemist selection, the several great families of Youdu will mostly send invitations.”

Nian Wei said with a light smile.

“Speaking of which, I'm a bit curious about how the forces in Youdu are divided.”

Ye Chen looked at Nian Wei and Mu Wanqing doubtfully.

“The entire Zhu Que Star, the peak forces are only the Zhu Que family and the nine great families. The Zhu Que family sits in Youdu main city, and the nine great families guard the nine Youdu sub-cities. The main city and sub-cities together make up the true Youdu. As for the origins of the Zhu Que family and the nine great families, it's quite ancient.”

“So, your Mu family is one of the nine great families?”

Ye Chen looked at Mu Wanqing.

“Yunyang Ancient Yue, Yang Xuan Xing Mu, plus Baili, are the nine great families of Youdu.”

Mu Wanqing smiled.

“As you said, my Mu family is also one of the nine great families. The nine great families guard the nine cities, and each family's ancestor is the city lord of their respective city. My family's ancestor is the city lord of Mu family city.”

“I see.”

Ye Chen stroked his chin, also understanding why Mu Wanqing was so familiar with Nian Wei, and why the Mu family could open a gambling house in Youdu, and it was the only one.

“The nine great families are like nine great vassals, and the Zhu Que family is the royal family.”

Mu Wanqing continued.

“The relationships among them are complicated, with various political marriages, already unclear.”

“The nine great vassals are not lightweights.”

Ye Chen said leisurely.

“If I guess correctly, for the Zhu Que family to elect a family Sheng Zhu, they also need the recognition of the nine great families, right?”

“That’s natural.”

Nian Wei took over.

“The nine great families have deep foundations and still have a say. Ten years ago, the nine great families supported the Ninth Emperor Brother to succeed as the Zhu Que family’s Sheng Zhu, but Heaven was intolerant, and the Ninth Emperor Brother met with disaster, making most of the nine great families give up on him.”

“This world is like this; if you can't see hope, you won't place your hopes.”

Ye Chen smiled.

“So, we are all waiting for Xuan Yu to regain his former glory.”

Mu Wanqing took a deep breath.

“Only by letting the nine great families see hope can he be qualified to lead the entire Zhu Que Star.”

“Don't worry, I'll help him.”

“Thank you.”

“What are you saying?”

While the three were talking, the door of the private room opened, and Zhuan Shi Yun, dressed in white, walked in. Perhaps waiting below was too boring, so he came up to chat.

“Ninth Emperor Brother.”

Nian Wei hurriedly saluted.

“Now you come up, I thought you didn't see me?”

Compared to Nian Wei, Mu Wanqing was not so reserved; her watery beautiful eyes resentfully and fiercely glared at Zhuan Shi Yun.

“I'm here now!”

Zhuan Shi Yun smiled, then looked at Ye Chen. At such a close distance, that inexplicable sense of familiarity arose again, making him feel extremely close to Ye Chen.

“I don't know why, but seeing your face makes my hands itch.”

Ye Chen looked at Zhuan Shi Yun with interest.

“Hands itch?”

Ye Chen's words made Zhuan Shi Yun stunned.

“Since you're here early, then let's not wait for another day.”

Ye Chen smiled and extended a golden divine light, which entered Zhuan Shi Yun's brow.
