The power of the Tier Five Ultimate Celestial Spirit Seal erupted from Ye Chen's brow.

Immediately following, the sword essence, Qi Blood, and Demonic Qi within Ye Chen surged forth simultaneously.

The four forces converged and fused in the air, no longer clashing in the slightest, as if genuinely becoming one entity!

Spirit and martial unification, the degree of power integration, reached ten-fold, truly perfect!

This was another significant gain Ye Chen obtained after absorbing a strand of the so-called ancient clan essence in the Origin World.

If Yang Tianji were here, he would undoubtedly be stunned speechless.

Because Ye Chen has been at the Spirit Martial Department of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy for less than half a year, not only has his Martial Dao reached the Primordial Embryo Realm, but his Spirit Dao has also become a Tier Five Extreme Celestial Seal Spirit Master, and the spirit-martial unification has perfectly achieved Great Perfection!

More importantly, Ye Chen's spirit and martial unification has already surpassed Yang Tianji's realm of spirit-martial unity, with the inclusion of Demonic Qi, making it even more formidable!

Even Luo Qingyi and Master Legs were extremely shocked at this moment.

They were considered beings who had truly seen great storms, yet they had never felt such powerful aura on a martial artist of this level.

After sensing the explosive surge of power, Ye Chen willed the released forces and aura to retreat back into his body like a receding tide.

Ye Chen looked at Luo Qingyi and Master Legs, saying, "Elder Qingyi, Master Legs, I heard your conversation just now. I can now completely confirm that I indeed carry the original ancient clan bloodline, which comes from my mother. To understand the details, I need to go to the Celestial Burial Sea and find my mother."

Luo Qingyi and Master Legs have now become people Ye Chen is completely willing to trust, and since they know some things about the original ancient clan, Ye Chen candidly shared this matter.

Luo Qingyi did not say much; her understanding of the original ancient clan was currently limited to what was conveyed by seniors in the Dragon Race and Master Legs.

Master Legs nodded and said, "Regardless of the original ancient clan, you are you, and your bloodline cannot change your essence. You must remember this. The eight families of the original ancient clan lost their essence, becoming rootless lives. No matter how glorious they may be now, there will inevitably be a day when they fall."

Luo Qingyi looked at Master Legs with surprise, feeling that this guy seemed to know much more about the original ancient clan than simply saying he had stolen something from within the origin heaven!

Ye Chen nodded, remembering Master Legs' words, then said, "Master Legs, how long have I been here now?"

"Two and a half days."

Ye Chen pondered for a moment.

When he entered here, Lingyun Mountain had already been opened for more than two days.

This means that five days have passed since Lingyun Mountain opened.

Lingyun Mountain is only open for seven days, and after seven days, everyone must leave!

Ye Chen is temporarily unsure whether Li Tianyi from the Sect Alliance followed in and perished under the power of the array restrictions.

But besides Li Tianyi, there is still Wu Ke from Ten Thousand Poison Sect and Shen Jie from Thousand Spirits Sect, and Ye Chen is certain they are still alive.

Ye Chen has already torn faces with them.

Though entering Lingyun Mountain, all parties have agreements, hatred not to spread, this statement might hold within the Great Zhou Dynasty and include the other three dynasties, possibly, but concerning Thousand Spirits Sect, this agreement is mere nonsense.

These individuals accustomed to being high above came to Lingyun Mountain aiming to seize the greatest opportunity. If they suffer a loss, they will surely retaliate thoroughly.

Therefore, rather than waiting for them to retaliate later, it is better to kill them here at Lingyun Mountain!

Anyway, having already killed some, resolved the grudge with Thousand Spirits Sect completely, one might as well kill a few more.

"Master Legs, how can I control the array restriction you set up here?" Ye Chen asked again.

This is a means that can kill Heaven-Reaching Realm legendary powerhouses, an incredibly terrifying trump card. Ye Chen also values this greatly. Previously, Master Legs had mentioned how to operate this array restriction, but Ye Chen's understanding of array restrictions is extremely shallow, so to ensure nothing goes wrong, he needs a detailed explanation from Master Legs.

Master Legs immediately got passionate, saying, "Arrays are about how to skillfully use the power of the natural world, so timing and location are very important. Apart from that, how to control the array, when to change the strength of the array, there are endless profound mysteries..."

Before Master Legs finished, Luo Qingyi coldly said, "First teach him how to control this array, don't flaunt your little skills here."

Master Legs also realized that now is indeed not the time for comprehensive array training for Ye Chen, and he straightforwardly explained how to use the large array here.

.......

Outside Lingyun Mountain, amidst the peaks and forests.

A figure, like having emerged from a sea of blood, stood amidst the lingering clouds, this person was Blood Cloud Ancestor.

Behind Blood Cloud Ancestor stood a cowed middle-aged man, naturally, this was Meng Changtian, who defected from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.

Just over two months ago, the blood clone placed in Huang Qinglan by Blood Cloud Ancestor was exterminated, and his main body was injured by Ouyang Shang. He then brought Meng Changtian to Lingyun Mountain, waiting for various dynasties to send their geniuses to explore Lingyun Mountain.

"Meng Changtian, I have helped you heal your Sea of Consciousness injury. Now, you have become a Tier Six Spirit Master, and next, it is your time to serve me," Blood Cloud Ancestor said slowly, a sinister expression emerging on his pale face.

Meng Changtian bowed his head and cupped his hands, saying, "Blood Cloud Ancestor, please give your command."

"Tomorrow, I will open a gap in the Heaven and Earth Array covering Lingyun Mountain, you go in and capture Ye Chen alive. If Ye Chen is dead, then I want your life!"

"Understood!" Meng Changtian immediately responded.

He had long known the Blood Cloud Ancestor's intention; the Blood Cloud Ancestor had set his sights on Ye Chen's body.

Although Meng Changtian wished he could tear Ye Chen to pieces, he dared not anger the Blood Cloud Ancestor. Moreover, capturing Ye Chen alive was no different from killing him, as Ye Chen would be as good as dead once the Blood Cloud Ancestor possessed his body.

"Blood Cloud Ancestor, what about Yang Tianji? He is a legendary powerhouse at the Heaven-Reaching Realm, merging spirit and martial arts. What if he discovers..."

The Blood Cloud Ancestor let out a cold laugh and said, "I've been preparing at Lingyun Mountain long in advance, so no matter how skilled Yang Tianji is, he won't discover your secret entry into Lingyun Mountain.

In two days, when the Heaven and Earth Array of Lingyun Mountain reactivates, I'll personally deal with Yang Tianji, causing chaos which will make it easier for you to seize the opportunity and take Ye Chen away."

Meng Changtian's gaze flickered for a moment.

Though the Blood Cloud Ancestor was strong, he was definitely not a match for Yang Tianji, yet the Blood Cloud Ancestor seemed quite confident...

"Blood Cloud Ancestor, do you have any allies?" Meng Changtian tentatively asked.

The Blood Cloud Ancestor emitted a cold and chilling laugh, staring at Meng Changtian.

Meng Changtian shivered all over, goosebumps forming on his skin, and an overwhelming fear arose in his heart. He immediately said, "Blood Cloud Ancestor, I shouldn't have been so curious..."

The Blood Cloud Ancestor replied, "There's no harm in telling you. Knowing you have a solid backing will make you more steadfast in helping me. This time, the leading legendary powerhouse of the Thousand Spirits Sect will join me in attacking and killing Yang Tianji!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Changtian indeed felt reassured.

The legendary powerhouse of the Thousand Spirits Sect is no ordinary figure. If he joins forces with the Blood Cloud Ancestor, no matter how powerful Yang Tianji is, he will surely face defeat here!

......

Another half day passed.

Inside Lingyun Mountain, at the entrance of the cave where Ye Chen entered, a fierce battle erupted.

Han Qianshan, Master Fatty, Luo Tian, Hua Ao Bone, and the Great Zhou Princess Zhou Yanran were all seriously injured.

The ones who injured them were Shen Jie of the Thousand Spirits Sect, who had fully recovered, and the group from the Great Zhou Dynasty Sect Alliance, including Li Tianyi.

Shen Jie looked at Master Fatty and the others blocking the cave entrance, his expression full of disdain.

He could now confirm that the black-clad woman who was helping Ye Chen had already left, so Shen Jie had no more concerns.

"I originally thought Ye Chen accidentally ran inside and then got killed by the array inside, but since you are desperately guarding this cave entrance, it seems you already know what's inside this cave. This means Ye Chen is still alive, hiding inside and searching for fortune!" Li Tianyi's face twisted with malice, he shouted coldly, his long sword aimed at Master Fatty and the others, with intense killing intent.

"A bunch of trash dares to block my way? If you don't get out of the way, I'll crush each of you into minced meat!"

Shen Jie shouted sternly; time was short. In just a day and a half, they would have to leave Lingyun Mountain. But there seemed to be a great opportunity here that he didn't want to miss.

"If you want to get in, you'll have to see if my sword agrees!" Luo Tian, covered in blood, gripped his sword with both hands, the sword's tip embedded in the ground. Even though he could hardly stand, his expression remained resolute.

Master Fatty spat and shouted, "You are all acting arrogant here, if you've got the guts then let's go! Even if I die, I guarantee I'll take someone with me as backup!"

Li Tianyi looked at Shen Jie.

With cold eyes, Shen Jie said, "Then kill them all, leave no one!"

At this moment, faint laughter was heard: "Shen Jie, although you're a direct disciple of the Thousand Spirits Sect, don't you feel ashamed yelling to kill these people?"

A delicate-looking young man, with three maids in tow, fanning himself, gracefully arrived and stood in front of Master Fatty and the others.

"Young Master Void, this isn't your concern, best to stay out of it; otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!" Shen Jie glared at the young man, his expression turning serious.

The young man addressed as Young Master Void chuckled and said, "Rude to me? You can try."

Shen Jie gritted his teeth and said, "I'll handle this guy, the rest of you kill the others; leave no one today!"

Shen Jie was wary of Young Master Void, not because of his power, but because of his identity. But for potentially immense fortune, Shen Jie was willing to risk it!

He was absolutely confident he could suppress Young Master Void.

He also had three junior brothers, a junior sister, plus Li Tianyi and Wu Ke. Killing a group of weakened enemies blocking the cave entrance was no problem at all!

The atmosphere in the field was extremely tense, like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.

Everyone was prepared for battle.

Master Fatty glanced at Luo Tian and said, "Luo Tian, if we get wiped out later, will you have any regrets?"

"Yes."

"Then should we still fight?"

"Fight!" Luo Tian said seriously, "I believe Brother Ye will avenge us!"

Master Fatty chuckled and said, "I think so too, then let's take them down!"
