Chapter 233 – Another Challenge

The smile on Yang Chen’s face wasn’t hidden from everyone. All of them stopped what they were doing and looked at Yang Chen. Senior apprentice sister Gongsun Ling even asked immediately:

“Something good happened? You seem pretty excited!”

“I discovered something good, however, it is of no use to you guys for the time being.”

Yang Chen didn’t give a clear explanation but it was not to the point where he didn’t even say a word. He only gave them a general idea and then smiled without saying anything.

Since they couldn’t use it right now, everyone completely lost interest. One could not be overly ambitious in cultivation. Taking firm steps one by one was the only genuine path. Even if they currently obtained something at the level of the Immortal World, it wouldn’t be of any use to them.

“Check your belongings, we return to the sect now!”

Seeing that everyone was ready to go, Yang Chen didn’t stay here for long. With one wave of his hand, everyone quickly collected their things and followed after him to return back to the main hall.

Walking out was much easier compared to entering. In any case, this cave dwelling was under Yang Chen’s complete control. With only some simple tricks, they easily exited the cave dwelling.

The vast ocean was still there like before with the empty island devoid of any signs of human existence. When they were sitting on Yang Chen’s flying shuttle, Yang Chen marked the location for master and senior apprentice sister. As the controls of this place were in his hands, he had to teach them ways of entering and exiting so that they could come here freely.

This was a good place to gain battle experience with the only flaw being that the location was too far. If he could completely collect it and place it at some other location, then it would certainly attract the envy of many sects.

“For the time being, this matter must not be told to the sect.”

Gao Yue first gave a reminder to everyone:

“The sect had just witnessed great upheaval. If we provide it something like this again, then people would certainly think of malicious ideas.”

The heart of a person could not be easily understood, all of them were clear about this fact so they all nodded their heads in agreement. Yang Chen also didn’t say much, this was a conclusion acceptable to him for this matter.

After travelling for three months, everyone returned back to the MeiQing Mountain. In the two years they weren’t here, the MeiQing Mountain had undergone a great transformation.

Using the opportunity of rebuilding the destroyed sect area, the Palace Master and a few other elders designed a new sect area for the Pure Yang Palace. Since they had become majestic compared to before, even the distribution of the underground veins were considered, including the underground vein of Second Fierce Yang Courtyard.

Compared to before, the present Pure Yang Palace had grown by almost three times. A huge building spanning over a perimeter of 200 miles was built within the sect area, this was the Second Fierce Yang Courtyard. If not for the immense grandeur of main palace hall, Yang Chen and others wouldn’t necessarily be able to find its location.

Let alone mention other things, even the temperament of Palace Master had undergone great changes. During the two years time, they had tightened their grasp on the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The huge earnings from the Hundred Thousand Mountains had given him the confidence to hold the ambition of fighting for supremacy with other sects.

Although they knew that the earnings from Hundred Thousand Mountains would be astonishing, no one had expected that the profits would be so enormous. The earnings of just the first year when they had gained complete control were enough to easily support the Pure Yang Palace for more than ten years. The profits of second year doubled.

This was only a portion of the total earnings after dividing between Green Jade Immortal Islands, Clear Sky Sect and Beast Taming Sect, so the wealth accumulated by those few experts of the backstage organization in the past years could be clearly imagined.

Unfortunately, it was reported that those few people had spent the enormous wealth to buy the highest quality pills and elixirs to the attack the boundary of their current realm. Even then, the four sects had made a killing just from the spoils of war.

The four sects were already pleased beyond expectation with this outcome and started paying more attention to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Furthermore, after the four sects had established the rule that there won’t be any killing and robbing in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, even more cultivators of the devil and demon path flocked over, thus increasing the earnings even more.

After becoming the palace master who had ushered the Pure Yang Palace into a new era, the Palace Master naturally had to appear more majestic. The backs of the few other elders also similarly straightened. Brilliance shone on their faces since their situation had changed compared to before, when the sect was tediously struggling at the edge of second rate sects.

Not to mention the upper echelons, even the ordinary disciples would proudly announce the name of Pure Yang Palace when adventuring outside, which gained more face for the sect. Even the number of new recruits in the previous two years had grown by many folds. Seeing everything moving in a better direction, Yang Chen was pleased.

But when he visited the Palace Master to pay his respects, he was left complaining when he came outside. In the previous two years, when Yang Chen’s group went to adventure outside, the Palace Master and great master Wang Yong had been anxious to death without any news of them. Fortunately, they had returned back quickly, otherwise, maybe the Palace Master would have offered a bounty to find Yang Chen.

“Disciple requests Palace Master to forgive disciple for his impoliteness.”

Yang Chen had to show his respect in front of the care and concern shown by Palace Master, only then did he begin to explain:

“If the sect become so protective of this disciple, then it wouldn’t have any genuine benefits towards disciple.”

The seedlings grown within a greenhouse without experiencing many things couldn’t compare to the trees growing in wilderness. Everyone understood this principle, but when it came to the sect’s most important disciple, all of them seemed to have a tacit understanding to forget this fact.

In Yang Chen’s opinion, the sect should never been so protective of him. After pondering for a short moment, Palace Master finally nodded his head. Which sect doesn’t want a talented disciple and they shouldn’t make him useless by being overprotective.

With Palace Master’s approval, other elders were easier to convince, even great master Wang Yang couldn’t say anything. With this, Yang Chen finally got the permission to adventure outside again.

Yang Chen had two motives of returning to sect this time. The first was to allow the people of the sect to feel relieved and the second was to fight for the opportunity to adventure outside. Actually, Yang Chen had never experienced the issue of security before, let alone mention the domed palace hall’s protection, he also had Mo Qian and her disciples. Furthermore, with two other YuanYing experts, he would never face any problems.

Not to mention his ultimate trump card, the blood river. He had decided to use this trick only at the most critical and desperate moment.

“Adventuring outside is good. When you go out this time, take that girl from the Clear Sky Sect with you so the Clear Sky Sect doesn’t start complaining again.”

Although the Palace Master had nodded his head, he still reminded Yang Chen about the matter regarding Sun Qingxue before he left.

Presently, Yang Chen dreaded to hear about this matter. Last time when this matter was raised, his master Gao Yue had surprisingly started playing matchmaker between him and Gongsun Ling. After hearing Palace Master’s reminder, he hastily agreed and rushed outside without daring to turn back his head.

Although he had just returned back, Yang Chen wasn’t planning on staying in the sect for long as the bloodline in Heavenly Roar had been completely aroused. Yang Chen was growing impatient and wanted to take him to the Dragon King’s Palace in the east side ocean and check whether Yazi’s bloodline would help him opening some of the barriers.

After gaining battle experience for two years, they had returned at the perfect time to digest that battle experience and peacefully cultivate. All of them returned to their residences and began to cultivate.

Yang Chen didn’t have the intention of taking anyone along. The Palace of Dragon King was of great importance to him and he didn’t plan to let anyone know about that legendary place.

If his master and them wanted to gain more experience, he had told them about the method of entering and exiting so they could go there whenever they wanted, without the need of him to bring them along. In any case, Yang Chen had only remained in one of the palace halls cultivating and reading jade slips as there wasn’t any need for him to go and battle with demon beasts.

Naturally, Yang Chen didn’t stop cultivating
