One night.

After the news from Tongxuan Continent came back, it spread widely across Cyan Continent.

Very quickly.

Countless people were amazed by it.

The True Martial Sect could no longer sustain itself and dissolved on its own even before Ye Qingchen arrived. As for the Eight Major Sects, they were dismantled along with the battle to besiege the Taotian Palace, already like monkeys scattering after the tree falls.

It can be said.

Ye Qingchen's prestige at this moment has reached its peak.

Furthermore.

Even some powerhouses from Tongxuan Continent, Taixu Continent, and Hongjiang Continent came to pay homage to the newly ranked number one in the battle rankings. Among them, there were even some Half-Step Celestial Saints and Celestial Saints.

In their view, Ye Qingchen would inevitably step into the Celestial Saint Realm, and forging a connection now would certainly have many benefits.

Of course.

There were also some who were unconvinced and wanted to challenge him, but for Ye Qingchen, it was only a matter of raising his hand to dismiss them.

"Elder Kong, Elder Qin hasn't returned yet. I can't help but feel a little uneasy."

Ye Qingchen stood proudly with his hands behind his back, staring at the tumbling sea of clouds around Taotian Peak, lost in thought.

"Ah, that old drunkard, upon hearing that you leveled Spirit Coffin Sect, who knows where he's gone off to carouse!"

Kong Shun patted Ye Qingchen's shoulder, signaling him to be at ease. "Having taken your Celestial Pill, he's now reached the Celestial Saint Realm. With his power, combined with your reputation, no one in Tongxuan Continent would dare challenge him!"

Ye Qingchen heard this and neither agreed nor disagreed.

Indeed.

Currently, his prestige is so high, and few dare lay a finger on Qin Wentian.

But for some reason, he still felt a bit uneasy.

"Alright, stop thinking so much. The guests have already arrived, and they specifically asked to see you!" Kong Shun laughed.

"Fine!"

Ye Qingchen nodded.

He planned.

To wait for three more days. If Qin Wentian still hadn't returned, he would personally go to Yun Ding City to check.

With that in mind.

Ye Qingchen had already entered the main hall of Taotian Palace.

Suddenly, the bustling hall fell silent, with everyone turning their gaze toward the entrance. There, a young man in green with his hands behind his back approached. His features were delicate with a slight smile on his face, like a boy-next-door.

Yet everyone present knew that this young man was a decisive Demon God in combat.

"Young Master Ye!"

"Young Master Ye!"

"Young Master Ye!"

Instantly.

Everyone echoed in response.

And Yun Xuan, standing by the side, introduced the guests to him.

"This is Li Changqiong from Taixu Continent, a Half-Step Celestial Saint powerhouse, the Great Elder of the Jue Tian Sect!"

"This is Fang Bai from Tongxuan Continent, a Celestial Saint level powerhouse, the Supreme Elder of the Purple Sun Clan!"

"This is Thunderstorm from Hongjiang Continent, a Half-Step Celestial Saint powerhouse…"

As Yun Xuan introduced each individual, they promptly showed respectful demeanor. Even though Ye Qingchen was their junior, they dared not show the slightest disrespect. The recent downfall of Spirit Coffin Sect served as an eye-opener; they were eager to establish ties rather than provoke him.

Ye Qingchen slightly nodded in response.

With Taotian Palace in its revitalization phase, naturally, the support of these individuals was needed.

"By the way, Young Master Ye, have you heard any rumors lately?" After introducing these powerhouses, Yun Xuan hesitated.

"What rumors?"

Ye Qingchen gave him a puzzled look.

At the same time.

He sighed inwardly.

After all, Taotian Palace's foundation is too thin, unlike old sects like Spirit Coffin Sect with their wide networks that can get information instantly.

"I've heard that recently a group of people has surfaced in various continents, composed of around a hundred, each one a Celestial Saint powerhouse. Once they appear, they challenge powerhouses anywhere they go, and it's said many old sects and forces have already been affected."

Yun Xuan paused, continuing, "Moreover, this group is incredibly ruthless, leaving rivers of blood in their wake, showing no mercy in killing!"

"Is this true?"

Ye Qingchen was taken aback.

One must know.

All Celestial Saint powerhouses have their own territories, usually reclusive and rarely appearing as they each influence their respective regions profoundly. If not for Ye Qingchen stirring Spirit Coffin Sect, many of these Celestial Saints wouldn't have emerged.

How could such a situation occur?

"I think I've also heard of it!"

Prior, Thunderstorm from Hongjiang Continent also nodded in agreement:

"On my way to Cyan Continent, I seemed to witness them. They appeared to be monks, each possessing the Power to Subdue Dragons and Tigers, seemingly not from our Eastern Domain. The leader's aura was so immense that I couldn't even gauge his cultivation level!"

"Is this true?"

This caused a stir all around.

Evidently.

These powerhouses had heard some similar rumors.

"Tell us, what exactly is going on?" Ye Qingchen frowned.

With so many people present, Thunderstorm dared not hide anything and could only reveal what he knew: "Actually, I encountered them by chance%…"

"That day, I had just emerged from seclusion and happened to see the group passing by, all dressed as monks with immense and powerful Qi blood, walking as if stepping on the heavens. The leader was encased in thunder and lightning, resembling a Divine Demon!"

"And then, on the way, I heard whispers about them that I thought were false, not expecting so many to know!"

"A group of monks?" Kong Shun furrowed his brow.

He had traveled through the Eastern Domain but hadn't heard of any significant Buddhist sects. Even if they existed, none had so many Celestial Saint powerhouses.

Could this be true or false?

Ye Qingchen also couldn't help but frown.

"Heh, a bunch of foreign monks dare to cause trouble in our Eastern Domain?" Fang Bai sneered, "They must not know our methods in the Eastern Domain! If I run into them, I will surely show them my might!"

"Indeed, these monks truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth… If they had run into Young Master Ye earlier, they might not have been able to even step into the Eastern Domain!"

"Certainly, we will make them go back to where they came from!"

Everyone laughed heartily.

One must know.

Those present were all powerhouses anchoring their clan or sect, rarely showing themselves, so how could they take a group of foreign monks seriously?

Only Ye Qingchen had his brows furrowed.

However.

Before he could speak, suddenly a cold voice emerged from outside the hall:

"Really? To send me back to where I came from? Just relying on you fools, I'm afraid you lack that kind of strength!"

With these words.

A commotion erupted among the people, all turning to look outside.

There.

A strange monk in black robes and beads was standing at the entrance. Flooded by sunlight, his shadow blocked it entirely, an inexplicable aura quietly spreading.

As if a deep darkness, bringing a sense of unfathomability.

"Who are you?"

Thunderstorm frowned and shouted.

The monk put his hands together, smiling faintly:

"I am Ci Hang of the Celestial God Sect!"

"What do you intend?" Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes.

Ci Hang raised his head slowly, his gaze sweeping across everyone present with a mocking smile, suddenly his voice became cold and low: "I am here under the order of my sect to spread the name of the Celestial God Sect, to crush the major sects and families of the Eastern Domain!"

His presence was already eerie and ghostly, and with these words, bloodlust soared, sweeping across the scene.
