Chapter 1053 - 1052: The Boiling East Sea

Zou Ji Dao is dead!

This battle, which involved the entire East Sea Star Extreme Scattered Islands, came to a complete conclusion with the fall of Zou Ji Dao. As the underground powerhouse of the East Sea and the most likely figure to unify the Star Extreme Scattered Islands, and even at the last moment enter the realm of the Celestial Immortal, his fall was truly shocking!

For a moment.

The whole Star Extreme Scattered Islands were violently shaken.

This 'Celestial South Fierce God' truly solidified his title as 'First Earth Immortal'.

Previously.

Some still entertained thoughts of challenging Ye Qingchen and making a name for themselves in a single battle. After all, in everyone's eyes, although Ye Qingchen retreated safely from Taotian Palace, it was merely because of the Heaven-Slaying Immortal Sword Scripture.

But now, there are no such thoughts anymore.

Even Zou Ji Dao, who was proving his way into becoming a Celestial Immortal, fell in the hands of Ye Qingchen. Zheng Hao, one of the Seventy-Two Island Masters, couldn't withstand a casual strike from Ye Qingchen, so how could others be his match?

The result of this battle poured cold water over everyone on Star Extreme Scattered Islands, leaving their hearts filled with dread.

"Invincible! Ye Qingchen is truly invincible! In the entire vast East Sea, in the endless Star Extreme Scattered Islands, who can possibly suppress him?"

An East Sea Island Master lamented loudly, "Yes, he alone can dominate a region. Such a demon, in the future even in the history books of the Kunlun Realm, he will be remembered."

"Deserving of the title 'First Earth Immortal', even a Celestial Immortal can be killed!"

Countless people were trembling with fear.

...

"Mr. Ye is too powerful, this battle practically shattered the heavens and earth. At the time, I was on Hidden Dragon Island and hadn't reacted yet when the entire Hidden Dragon Island collapsed. Not just Hidden Dragon Island, nearly a thousand miles around, nearly a hundred sea islands!"

"Yes, at first when Zou Ji Dao entered the realm of Celestial Immortal, I thought Mr. Ye had no way back, but I did not expect him to win!"

"The last move Zou Ji Dao pushed with Celestial Immortal Power was almost destined to open heavens and split earth, yet it was pierced by Mr. Ye with a single sword!"

Cai Kun walked briskly, with discussions like these buzzing all around. A few people who hadn't witnessed the battle could only lament with pounding chests, regretting missing such a world-shattering battle.

Luo Lin'an had an intuition about this battle early on, hence he had transferred more than half of his personnel beforehand.

Cai Kun walked through the crowd with a heart trembling in fear.

Originally, he followed the crowd to leave, yet he was intercepted mid-way, told that Mr. Ye wanted to see him. He didn't dare to escape, so he followed with a heavy heart.

"Mr. Ye, Dark Island's Third Island Master, Cai Kun has been brought!"

A report broke through Cai Kun's chaotic thoughts.

He raised his head.

And saw that the island masters who had previously left were all called back, even the likes of Duan Ye among the Seventy-Two Island Masters. Many island masters present had fear in their eyes; could it be that after this victory, Ye Qingchen would settle accounts with them?

At this time.

Ye Qingchen was sitting at the head seat, with a faint smile on his face, like a boy next door, chatting casually with Su Moran beside him. But no one dared to overlook him, for this young man was the new underground leader of East Sea.

"Very good!" Ye Qingchen nodded slightly.

Everyone quickly looked over.

Only to see him slowly rise and say:

"I have invited everyone here to firstly collect some materials to break restrictions and Heavenly and Earthly treasures to strengthen the foundation. If you have any, feel free to exchange with me. I can exchange with elixirs!"

At this moment, inside the main hall, about seventy percent of the prominent island masters of Star Extreme Scattered Islands were gathered, and even some overseas fierce dragons from Celestial South Seafront were present.

Though they had some wealth, it may not be comparable to ancient sects like Taotian Palace or Vajra Temple with thousands of years of heritage, yet the hidden resources among so many people are indeed considerable.

"Exchange with elixirs?"

Everyone was stunned at first, then came to their senses.

The man before them, sweeping in with a heaven-shocking momentum, vanquished Zou Ji Dao, suppressed the Seventy-Two Islands, and dominated the entire East Sea as the First Earth Immortal, was also a highly skilled alchemist!

"Do you mean it?"

Duan Ye from Danxia Island stood up, his eyes filled with excitement.

It should be noted.

Early in his life, he suffered an injury, which although healed, left an underlying ailment. Although it wasn't a major issue, it hindered his cultivation from advancing beyond top-level Earth Immortal. All these years, he has traveled back and forth between Southern Heaven and East Sea, seeking remedies in vain.

As Ye Qingchen was famed for his dual mastery of martial arts and alchemy, if he could slay Zou Ji Dao with Earth Immortal prowess, his alchemy skills must surely be formidable.

"Indeed!" Ye Qingchen quietly scrutinized Duan Ye for a moment before nodding and saying:

"This underlying ailment of yours is not that problematic. The main issue is that it is deeply rooted in your bone marrow, as time goes on! If you could have removed it before entering Earth Immortal, naturally it wouldn't affect your cultivation. Unfortunately, the longer it lasts, the more it resembles a thousand-mile dam being eroded by an ant nest..."

"This underlying ailment is primarily within your meridians, like a silted riverway. I happen to have an elixir here that can alleviate this condition!"

As the words fell, Duan Ye was truly shaken.

He never imagined Ye Qingchen could see the core of his problem at a glance. If he could heal the ailment, wouldn't he finally be able to pursue the path of Celestial Immortal? Thinking of this, Duan Ye couldn't help but say:

"Mr. Ye, words alone are without proof, is there any evidence?"

Ye Qingchen smiled faintly and took out an elixir.

Everyone hastily looked over.

Only to see the elixir blazing with scarlet flames, incredibly fragrant.

Duan Ye took the elixir and swallowed it in one gulp, feeling a rush of scorching Spiritual Qi pouring down his throat, instantly filling his limbs and bones, surging through his acupoints.

Snap, crackle, pop!

His entire body emitted sounds like frying beans, with each sound his aura increased by threefold. Duan Ye felt as though he was lightened, as if he was involuntarily lighter.

"This?"

Cai Kun watching this scene was simply dumbstruck.

After reaching Ninth-Layer Earth Immortal, every step further is as difficult as climbing the heavens. Yet Ye Qingchen achieved all this with just one elixir.

Duan Ye was equally stunned, clearly feeling the transformation in his body, a flash of excitement in his eyes.

But Ye Qingchen continued:

"Your underlying ailment has accumulated for a long time, requiring at least nine elixirs to fully heal! In the entire East Sea, only I can refine this elixir! If you want the remaining eight, bring materials to exchange!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Ye suppressed his excitement and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Good, good, good!"

"Mr. Ye is truly deserving of the dual mastery of martial and alchemy! I will gather materials immediately!"

Ye Qingchen nodded slightly, his gaze turning towards the others filled with envious eyes, speaking softly: "The same applies to all of you!"

"Really?"

"Mr. Ye truly lives up to being the First Earth Immortal! Such a broad-minded individual!"

For a moment.

Everyone was scrambling to speak out, afraid to be left behind. Even Cai Kun, who had been apprehensive, couldn't help but bow down entirely.

The power of destruction indeed makes one fearful, but the means of salvation induces more admiration indeed.

Watching the eager stances of the crowd, Ye Qingchen smiled faintly, without further comment!
