Half an hour later, Ye Chen left the Life and Death Battle Platform and was brought to the Cultivation Hall of the War King Hall by Ouyang Zhong.

"Ye Chen, I wronged you before, and I hope you can forgive me," Ouyang Zhong said with a face full of remorse.

He had always thought that Ye Chen had given up on himself, which left him completely disappointed.

However, he didn't expect that not only did Ye Chen cultivate the "Ancient Golden Elephant Technique" to perfection, but he also mastered the "Storm Swordsmanship" to the Transformation Realm.

This made Ouyang Zhong feel immensely ashamed.

"Grand Elder, I have never taken these matters to heart; you don't need to apologize to me," Ye Chen said with a slight smile.

In fact, if Ouyang Xue hadn't given him half a million ordinary spirit stones, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body to the Second Level of the Dragon Elephant Realm and wouldn't have been able to defeat Duanmu Jie.

And for Ouyang Xue to be able to produce so many spirit stones, she must have been instructed by Ouyang Zhong.

Therefore, he was grateful to Ouyang Zhong and had no reason to blame him.

"Ye Chen, my vision was too narrow. Your talent in martial arts and body refining has completely exceeded my expectations. Even the true disciples of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect might not compare to you. From now on, you're a seed student of our War King Hall, and we will do our utmost to cultivate you," Ouyang Zhong said excitedly, with deep expectations in his eyes.

He genuinely wanted to see how far Ye Chen could grow.

His cultivation was only at the True Qi Realm Tenth Layer, yet he could defeat Duanmu Jie.

If he continued to grow, there might not be many among the seed students of the Celestial Flame Academy who could rival him.

The only regret Ouyang Zhong had was that Ye Chen couldn't awaken his bloodline.

Otherwise, with his talent, he would undoubtedly qualify to become an Immortal Seed.

"Elder Ouyang, does that mean I can select four Yellow Level Top Grade martial arts for cultivation from here?" Ye Chen's eyes couldn't help but glimmer sharply.

According to the rules of the War King Hall, once one becomes a seed student, they can select four Yellow Level Top Grade martial arts from the second level of the Cultivation Hall.

And Ye Chen had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Now, he finally became a seed student of the War King Hall as he had hoped.

"Hehe! Ye Chen, among the fifteen Yellow Level Top Grade martial arts here, you can freely choose four. With your martial arts talent, you should be able to master them all to the Transformation Realm within half a year," Ouyang Zhong said kindly, holding great expectations for Ye Chen.

"Thank you, Elder Ouyang, I won't let you down," Ye Chen said, his brows filled with confidence.

Currently, he possessed a total of 800 points of Power of Enlightenment within the Enlightenment Divine Tower.

If he wished, he could master all four Yellow Level Top Grade martial arts to the Transformation Realm in less than a day.

Of course, such a feat was too shocking, so Ye Chen surely wouldn't let others know.

Not even Ouyang Zhong.

"Ye Chen, if I'm not mistaken, aside from cultivating the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique,' you must have practiced another body refining technique. Otherwise, your body wouldn't be able to unleash the power of a thousand tigers," Ouyang Zhong couldn't help but speculate.

Previously, when Ye Chen fought Duanmu Jie, his body unleashed the power of a thousand tigers, which was twice as strong as the "Ancient Golden Elephant Technique."

So, Ouyang Zhong suspected that Ye Chen must have practiced other body refining techniques.

However, considering Ye Chen's high body refining talent, mastering other body refining techniques seemed normal.

Ouyang Zhong wasn't surprised at all.

"Haha, it seems I can't hide anything from you, Elder Ouyang. Before cultivating the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique,' I indeed practiced another body refining technique, otherwise it would have been difficult to defeat Duanmu Jie," Ye Chen nodded and admitted to Ouyang Zhong without concealing anything.

In a sense, his Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body was indeed a kind of body refining technique, only its level was far superior to any body refining technique in this world.

Of course, this secret was not something he would share with anyone else.

"Ye Chen, your body refining talent is several times stronger than the third generation hall master of our War King Hall. Once your cultivation reaches the Gang Qi Realm, you can participate in the hall master test. Given your current physical strength, there's a good chance you'll pass," Ouyang Zhong said with anticipation.

According to the rules of the War King Hall, seed students are eligible to participate in the hall master test.

However, Ye Chen's current cultivation was only at the True Qi Realm Tenth Layer; he needed to reach the Gang Qi Realm before he could take the test.

The hall master test requires not only strong physical power but also high body refining talent.

Back when Ouyang Zhong took the test, his physical power barely passed, but unfortunately, his body refining talent didn't meet the standards.

Because of this, he could never become the new hall master of the War King Hall and had to take up the position of Grand Elder.

That's also his biggest regret in life.

Therefore, he truly hopes Ye Chen can make up for this regret for him.

"Elder Ouyang, I will definitely break through to the Gang Qi Realm as soon as possible," Ye Chen said with eyes full of fiery determination.

If he can really become the new Hall Master of the War King Hall, not only will his status be greatly elevated, but he will also be able to practice any martial arts within the War King Hall.

As he knows, aside from fifteen Yellow Level Top Grade martial arts, the War King Hall also houses a Profound Level Lower Grade martial arts technique, which even Ouyang Zhong is not qualified to practice.

Only the Hall Master of the War King Hall, or an Immortal Seed of the hall, is eligible to practice this Profound Level martial arts.

And Profound Level martial arts are personally created by immortals, containing True Intent within.

Only by comprehending the True Intent can one become an immortal ruling above the mundane.

This shows how precious the Profound Level martial arts are, with countless students of the Celestial Flame Academy dreaming to acquire them.

"Ye Chen, you must try your best. If you really become the new Hall Master of the War King Hall, you can also practice our hall's Palace Guarding Technique 'The Little Glazed War Body.' This Body Refining technique was created by an immortal from the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, its power is even more terrifying than the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique,'" smiled Ouyang Zhong, as if deliberately motivating Ye Chen.

If Ye Chen had not practiced the Myriad Human Emperor Body, hearing such a powerful Body Refining technique would surely excite him greatly.

However, having the Myriad Human Emperor Body makes other Body Refining techniques seem dull.

Nonetheless, Ye Chen could still try cultivating this 'The Little Glazed War Body.'

After all, he does not know when he will be able to break through to the Third Realm with his Myriad Human Emperor Body.

Therefore, 'The Little Glazed War Body' is just suitable as a transition.

"Grand Elder, I have an urgent matter and wish to see you," suddenly, a middle-aged voice sounded from outside the Cultivation Hall, the tone was urgent, as if something important had happened.

"Come in!" Ouyang Zhong said with a slight frown.

Moments later, a tall and muscular middle-aged man walked in from outside, resembling a human-shaped beast.

Even by Ye Chen, felt a hint of threat emanating from him.

This person's cultivation might have reached the Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm.

"Elder Ouyang, should I step aside for a moment?" Ye Chen asked Ouyang Zhong, preparing to leave.

"No need, you are already qualified to know the internal affairs of our War King Hall." Ouyang Zhong waved his hand.

This clearly shows how much he values and trusts Ye Chen, treating him as one of his own.

"Grand Elder, there are rumors claiming that deep within the eastern part of the Celestial Flame Dynasty, in the Canglan Mountain Range, there lies a hidden Immortal Secret Realm. In recent days, phenomena have frequently appeared in that place," the middle-aged man said with excitement.

"What, an Immortal Secret Realm? How could such a realm exist within the Celestial Flame Dynasty?" Ouyang Zhong's figure trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief.

It must be noted that an Immortal Secret Realm is crafted by immortals themselves.

Moreover, immortals capable of creating such realms are usually not weak among immortals.

However, the Celestial Flame Dynasty is merely a Third Class Dynasty, even ordinary immortals disdain to visit here.

How could an immortal create an Immortal Secret Realm here?

This is indeed bizarre.

"The history of the Profound Yellow Realm is incredibly long, who knows how many Immortal Secret Realms are hidden, maybe this realm has existed for a very long time," the middle-aged man speculated.

"Who else knows about this matter currently?" Ouyang Zhong quickly asked.

For mortals, Immortal Secret Realms undoubtedly hold immense allure. Discovering rare Spiritual Elixirs within might even allow mortals to transform completely.

Even a Qi Dao Grandmaster like Ouyang Zhong in the Celestial Spirit Realm would feel infinitely tempted.

"Currently, only cultivators from our Celestial Flame Dynasty are aware, but the truth can't be hidden for long. Soon, cultivators from other dynasties may also hear of this," the middle-aged man said solemnly.

The Celestial Flame Dynasty is just one among many within the Southern Heaven Domain, under the jurisdiction of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

Under the same jurisdiction are over a hundred human dynasties, among which some are First Class Dynasties.

In these dynasties, the Celestial Flame Dynasty, while not exactly at the bottom, is certainly not strong.

Therefore, should other powerful dynasties learn of an Immortal Secret Realm emerging within the Celestial Flame Dynasty, they will likely come to claim a share.

"No time to delay, I must immediately set out for the Canglan Mountain Range. Ye Chen, stay and cultivate in the War King Hall, do not wander around. I fear the Duanmu Family may pose a threat to you," Ouyang Zhong couldn't help but advise Ye Chen, eyes filled with deep concern.

"Elder Ouyang, please take care too, I will wait for your return." Ye Chen nodded.
