Chapter 334: Shocking Two Provinces! Ye Chen Descends! (Part 1)
Mingwang Province, Beidou Sacred Land…
In recent days, the Beidou Sacred Land was filled with jubilation.
Nearly a million disciples and attendants of the Sacred Land were eagerly anticipating.
As time passed, the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator had gained great fame in Mingwang Province.
Its miraculous features had deeply impressed everyone.
In fact, due to word of mouth, it had even been exaggerated into an omnipotent divine artifact.
And now, their Beidou Sacred Land was about to claim ownership of the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator.
With more profits flowing into the Sacred Land, the disciples’ benefits would naturally improve.
They would also be among the first to use the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator and enjoy its incredible features.
How could they not be excited?
Inside the Saint Master’s Hall, the Beidou Saint Master reclined on his sacred throne, his gaze fixed on the grand starry energy field on Seven Stars Peak, a smile spreading across his face.
It seemed that the All-Star Cauldron, which their Supreme Elder had spent a century crafting, was finally about to succeed.
The Supreme Elder was already powerful, but once the cauldron was completed, his strength would soar even higher.
This would undoubtedly elevate the status of Beidou Sacred Land.
Moreover, acquiring the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator would bring in vast resources for their faction.
The Beidou Sacred Land was truly on the brink of rising to greatness.
“That Heavenly Origin Saint Master does have some skill,” the Beidou Saint Master remarked with a chuckle.
“But unfortunately, his actions only serve to benefit us.
“Especially the cross-province teleportation array he constructed. It’s practically tailor-made for us.
“In the past, the distance between the two provinces was too vast, and Great Yan Province was too barren to be worth sending people to. No one was willing to go. But now, with the teleportation array, the round trip takes less than a day!
“I’m sure it’s not just our Beidou Sacred Land. All the major forces in Mingwang Province are preparing to invade Great Yan Province and plunder everything.
“This so-called Heavenly Origin Saint Master might as well have delivered Great Yan Province to us on a silver platter for our enjoyment. He’s practically a benefactor to our Beidou Sacred Land.”
The Beidou Saint Master laughed heartily.
The difference in strength between the two provinces was like heaven and earth.
In the future, all the factions in Great Yan Province would inevitably become puppets of Mingwang Province, their resources plundered in vast quantities.
This would only worsen the already impoverished state of Great Yan Province.
Ye Chen’s actions could even be labeled as treachery to his province, destined to bear countless curses and infamy.
A nearby elder of the Beidou Sacred Land hesitated before speaking.
“Saint Master, since we’re planning to seize the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator, why not act quickly and decisively? Even though the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land is weaker, it’s still a Sacred Land and possesses an immortal artifact.
“I’ve heard they’ve accumulated considerable resources. If they decide to seal their mountain and refuse to come out, there’s nothing we can do. Moreover, if they destroy the teleportation array, it would cause us significant losses.”
Hearing this, the Beidou Saint Master smiled faintly.
“Seal their mountain? The Heavenly Origin Sacred Land cannot seal itself off.
“Ye Chen has countless romantic ties. The Heavenly Origin Sacred Land might seal itself off, but what about his Dao companion’s Gu family? Could they seal themselves off too?
“And the Jade Pond Saint Master of the Jade Pond Sacred Land? According to rumors on Immortal Net, she’s also one of his confidantes.
“Not to mention the families and relatives of Heavenly Origin Sacred Land elders who live outside.
“If the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land truly seals its mountain, we’ll capture all these people. For every day Ye Chen doesn’t appear, we’ll execute a batch.
“Let’s see how long he can hold out.
“As for the teleportation array, it’s already being guarded by Great Advancement experts from the major forces. While the array was built by the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, destroying it is no longer up to them.”
The major factions weren’t foolish.
They had already gathered all the information they needed and believed they had control over everything.
That’s why they hadn’t acted hastily. They wanted the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land to surrender voluntarily, hoping to acquire the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator intact.
The elders nodded in agreement.
They didn’t think the Saint Master’s methods were cruel.
The path of cultivation was inherently one of competition; the weak were prey to the strong.
In Mingwang Province, the competition among cultivators was far more intense than in Great Yan Province.
Every day, countless small sects were annihilated, leaving no survivors.
Such actions were routine to them.
“That Heavenly Origin Saint Master is extraordinary indeed. He slays enemies across realms with ease. At such a young age, he’s already broken through to the late Deity Transformation Realm.
“Even the so-called greatest genius of the Dao De Sect can’t compare to him.
“But alas, a fine jade invites its own destruction,” one elder lamented at Ye Chen’s talent.
The Beidou Saint Master sneered.
“He’s indeed a genius.
“But it’s precisely because he’s a genius that his fate is already sealed. He’ll either die or have his cultivation crippled and be kept alive to update the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator for us.
“There’s no third option.”
No one was foolish.
For a genius like Ye Chen, he would either be killed outright or rendered harmless, leaving no room for him to grow stronger.
The elders all nodded in agreement.
This was undoubtedly the safest approach.
Many factions had faced destruction in the past because they failed to eliminate threats entirely.
“The Heavenly Origin Saint Master really does have remarkable luck with women. The women around him are all peerless beauties.”
“Indeed, I never thought Great Yan Province could have so many stunning women. The top 100 beauties selected there are all breathtaking.”
“Once we acquire the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator, we should host a Mingwang Province beauty contest. It would definitely cause a sensation. The Great Zhou Empress would surely rank in the top three.”
“The more I use this Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator, the more I marvel at its brilliance. Ye Chen is truly a genius. It’s a pity to kill him. If possible, we should ask the Supreme Elder to capture and cripple him, then imprison him in the Sacred Land to serve us. That would bring even greater benefits.”
The group continued to discuss enthusiastically.
It seemed as though the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator was already within their grasp.
However, at this moment, one elder’s expression subtly changed. “Saint Master, the Heavenly Origin Saint Master just posted a Weibo update.”
These words immediately caught the attention of the elders.
The Beidou Saint Master’s lips curled upward. “He finally dares to speak?
“Seems like he’s come to terms with the gap between us and is prepared to accept our demands.
“Send an elder immediately… no, I’ll personally lead the elders to Great Yan Province to claim the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator and the resources of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.
“The other Sacred Lands will certainly act as soon as they see the news.
“The Heavenly Origin Sacred Land is not worth worrying about. The real trouble will be negotiating with those other Sacred Lands to divide the spoils.
“But it’s fine. As long as the Dao De Sect and Feathering Sect don’t interfere, our Beidou Sacred Land will definitely claim the largest share.”
The Beidou Saint Master was still fantasizing.
But the elder’s face twitched, and he exclaimed in shock, “Saint Master, the other party is not bowing down to us to hand over the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator.
“On the contrary, he is declaring war on us!”
Hmm?
At that moment, every elder’s eyes widened.
The Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator was a rare treasure for ordinary cultivators.
But for the elders present, each of them already possessed one.
Ye Chen is actually declaring war on us?
Is he crazy, or had he eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard?
Does he have any idea how vast the gap in strength between us is?
In their astonishment, they opened Weibo to see for themselves what Ye Chen had posted.
When the Weibo page loaded, the first post was from the Heavenly Origin Saint Master.
And when they saw the content of the post, their faces were filled with disbelief.
The Heavenly Origin Saint Master had truly declared war!
