Chapter 2504: It's Absolutely Correct

Under the moonlight, Ye Chen stood quietly, gazing at the stars in a daze. For some reason, he felt an inexplicable connection—Chu Xuan, Chu Ling, and the woman from the earlier vision must share some special relationship. This only confirmed his suspicion that his two wives had an extraordinary background, so remarkable that even Di Huang could not see through it.

The night grew deeper.

He lowered his eyes from the stars and sat back under the old tree, quietly carving wood. In the shadows, he was still being watched, but he ignored it, waiting for the right moment to settle accounts one by one.

Once again, he attempted to comprehend Da Meng Wu Ji. He had begun to grasp its essence: Da Meng Wu Ji was like Dao Wu Ji, and the path of dreams was part of the great dao. Now, his Chaos Dao had gained another layer.

Unfortunately, he had not fully mastered it yet. This dream dao remained incomplete, much like the path of reincarnation, requiring years of accumulation to reach its true essence and achieve perfection.

That night, in the underground palace of Tian Xuan Men, all the quasi-emperors were gathered.

The clever Ren Wang used his profound borrowing divine ability to summon Si Ming Xing Jun down. Under the scrutiny of the elder quasi-emperors, Si Ming Xing Jun felt a chill run through his entire body.

"Have you found him?" Ren Wang asked, hands tucked in his sleeves.

"The heavenly realm is no smaller than the human realm. Finding someone is like searching for a needle in the ocean, especially for those fated for calamity," Si Ming Xing Jun replied irritably. "I've been so busy looking for him that I even skipped the Hua Shan debate."

"I'll give you a hint—head to where it's most lively in the heavenly realm. That's where he'll be, absolutely no mistake," Tian Lao stroked his beard, playing the role of a wise old sage, his words full of meaning.

His statement was spot on, and no one disagreed.

The tenth emperor of Da Chu was no ordinary figure; wherever he went, he brought his own aura of grandeur, stirring up massive events each time, growing more spectacular than the last.

This had become an undeniable truth, well-known throughout the realms.

Si Ming Xing Jun stroked his chin. "Feng Shan Xian Di has been quite lively these past few days."

"Head there, absolutely no mistake." Ren Wang lifted his foot and kicked with overwhelming force, sending Si Ming Xing Jun, who was still pondering where to search, back to the heavenly realm in an instant. The kick was even stronger than before, and faintly, the sound of bones cracking could be heard.

In the early morning, Ye Chen set down his carving knife and stretched lazily, then headed toward Qian Kun Peak. Hua Shan Zhen Ren had already instructed him that they would go to Feng Shan Xian Di today to find the reincarnated person.

After a night of enlightenment, his dao had gained even more profound wonders, naturally carrying the sounds of the great dao.

On Qian Kun Peak, Hua Shan Xian Zi had arrived early, dressed in a pure white dao robe embroidered with the Hua Shan mark. Hua Shan Zhen Ren was similarly attired and had been waiting, ready to set off for Feng Shan Xian Di.

Not long after, Hua Shan Shen Nu descended from the sky, using Ye Chen's physical body. Her walking posture looked completely off, lacking any of Ye Chen's usual domineering presence.

"Have you adapted?" Hua Shan Xian Zi asked with a gentle smile.

Hua Shan Shen Nu sighed. Three days was too short to fully synchronize, and even if they did, she couldn't unleash her peak strength since it wasn't her own body.

"Just do your best," Hua Shan Zhen Ren said with a smile.

A breeze blew by, and Ye Chen arrived on time.

His appearance made the three of them twitch their mouths—it was all about his state. He was using Hua Shan Shen Nu's body, but his clothes were disheveled, his entire figure unkempt. What should have been a stunningly beautiful face was smudged and dirty, and his hair, which should have flowed like water, was a tangled mess, like a bird's nest where an old hen could lay eggs.

Most notably, he carried an unpleasant odor all over, as if he hadn't bathed in ages. You could smell it from a distance, making one think he had slept hugging dried fish.

This was all because he had sleepwalked the night before and taken quite a few tumbles, leaving him in such a state.

"You!" Hua Shan Shen Nu was furious, her eyes flashing with intense flames, her chest heaving. She glared as if ready to devour him. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't believe it—she had dressed his body so neatly, yet he had turned her body into this mess. Anyone who knew would say it was the goddess; those who didn't might think it was a beggar.

"You said not to bathe, so I didn't!" Ye Chen tucked his hands in his sleeves, his appearance making him look utterly sleazy, without a shred of dignity.

"Can't you at least change clothes? Wash your face? Comb your hair?" Hua Shan Shen Nu stomped her foot in frustration. At several hundred years old, she was still driven mad by Ye Chen.

"There's still some time—go tidy up." Hua Shan Xian Zi coughed, caught off guard by the scene. She knew Ye Chen was unreliable, but not to this extent.

Ye Chen hummed in agreement and wandered off to the depths, heading to the immortal pool. On the way through the misty area, he glanced at his immortal spirit flower, which still hadn't matured.

Behind him, Hua Shan Shen Nu followed, apparently to help him change.

Indeed, before Ye Chen undressed, she blindfolded him with a cloth strip.

What followed was quite a seductive scene: Ye Chen splashed around in the immortal pool while Hua Shan Shen Nu watched intently. If he dared to grope around, she wouldn't hesitate to jump in and beat him.

It had to be said, watching herself undressed like this had a unique charm.

Hua Shan Zhen Ren rubbed his brow, and Hua Shan Xian Zi coughed awkwardly. Without even looking, they knew the atmosphere at the immortal pool was awkward. That little stone spirit was definitely a treasure trove of mischief.

Soon, the two emerged one after the other.

After bathing, Ye Chen looked much more radiant, especially his fairy-like face, which Hua Shan Shen Nu had powdered and rouged. His previously messy hair was now neatly combed, with strands glistening—this was the true grace of a goddess.

However, this beautiful woman was completely undermined by Ye Chen's walking posture, which was bold and forceful, exuding dominance from every angle.

Hua Shan Shen Nu wanted to cry but had no tears; her image as a jade maiden had been utterly destroyed. If she could start over, she would never use Da Meng Wu Ji—it was just too absurd.

As they spoke, another figure descended from the sky—it was Hua Shan Shen Zi.

His face was slightly pale, his aura weaker than before, and fresh blood occasionally trickled from his mouth. The beating from Ye Chen's staff hadn't been the worst; the real damage came from his natal artifact being destroyed, causing severe backlash. It would take many years to recover.

As soon as he landed, without even offering courtesies, he stared at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with blood-red killing intent, fierce and cold, with glints of malice. If Hua Shan Zhen Ren weren't there, he might have attacked. His hatred for Ye Chen was uncontrollable.

Ye Chen remained silent, just drinking from his flask. He was behaving for now, but if provoked again with killing intent, he wouldn't mind crippling Hua Shan Shen Zi.

"Let's set out," Hua Shan Zhen Ren said calmly, his authority as sect leader evident.

With that, Hua Shan Xian Zi waved her hand and summoned an emperor-level domain gate, leading straight to Feng Shan Xian Di. Bursts of spatial energy overflowed, full of mystery.

The four stepped in together and vanished.

Little did they know, after they left, many in the underground palaces activated their own domain gates. These people were cloaked in black robes, their mouths curling into sinister smiles.

They belonged to factions opposed to the sect leader. With the leader away from the mountain, they could do plenty, like seizing control of Hua Shan or eliminating dissenters in this time.

Besides them, the people of Tian Ting Ba Tai Zi had been lurking outside Hua Shan for months, just waiting for Ye Chen and the others to leave. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Thus, a conspiracy for usurpation truly began.

In the domain gate transmission channel, the atmosphere was oppressively tense.

Hua Shan Shen Nu stared at Ye Chen the whole way, her beautiful eyes blazing with fire; Hua Shan Shen Zi also stared at him, his gaze cold and gritted, his face twisted in resentment.

Ye Chen simply ignored them, his expression blank.

During the journey, he tried using his emperor-level separation technique on Hua Shan Shen Nu to extract her primordial spirit.

Unfortunately, it failed.

He realized that the Da Meng Wu Ji she had used must have touched some taboo, binding their primordial spirits to their bodies because of that forbidden power.
