Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

"What exactly is this little snake? How can it possess such terrifying venom, and a soul venom that I've never even heard of before?"

It took him so long to barely remove just two such thin strands of poison. If that little snake had bitten him a few more times, Ye Chen felt he might have been dead...

After getting up, Ye Chen looked at the Earth Core Jade Mother beneath him, pondered for a moment, and then used his Eye of Truth to look inside the Earth Core Jade Mother.

Under the Eye of Truth, the originally opaque Jade Mother at the Earth's Core suddenly changed, eventually revealing its internal structure...

Inside the Earth's Core Jade Mother, there was a hollow space the size of a basketball, filled with a viscous white liquid. The little snake that he had sealed away was swimming freely in the liquid, looking carefree and happy, completely unaware of its imprisonment.

Chapter 237 Underground Bone Passage

Seeing this, Ye Chen was speechless.

However, he was even more certain of the little snake's extraordinary nature, and it seemed to have only been born recently, its temperament as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

The reason it appeared while I was cultivating was probably because it was attracted by my soul power and secretly came out to soak up some of my energy...

After thinking it over, Ye Chen decided not to try to open the Earth Core Jade Mother anymore. Instead, he sealed it with his soul power and put it into his Star Emblem Ring.

However, the moment the Earth Core Jade Mother disappeared, a pitch-black hole appeared beneath it, accompanied by the sound of whistling wind, which once again attracted Ye Chen's attention.

"A passage? How could it be beneath the Jade Mother of the Earth's Core?"

Filled with doubt, Ye Chen released a spark of fire and shone it into the hole. He found it wasn't deep, only about ten feet deep, so he simply jumped down.

Da da……

When their feet touched the ground, they made two crisp sounds.

Ye Chen looked down and discovered that the path beneath his feet was paved with grayish-white stones, and it looked quite spacious and tidy...

"Could this stone path have been made by man?" Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself with some surprise.

If that's the case, then this might be the ruins left behind by some ancient powerful being...

Thinking of this, Ye Chen quickened his pace, but he also released his soul power to the maximum, constantly being careful and vigilant against any traps or restrictions.

This walk took more than half an hour.

Ye Chen felt he had walked at least a hundred miles, but the passage still hadn't reached its end...

Moreover, as time went on, Ye Chen also noticed something was wrong. For example, the cave wall above his head was a strange semi-circle, and most importantly, every now and then a grayish-white stone of the same material as the floor beneath his feet would appear embedded in the stone on the cave wall.

"Holy crap! This is a ghost's stone, what the hell are these bones?" Finally, Ye Chen realized.

Moreover, after walking through this cave for so long, what kind of man-made passage is this? Isn't this just the cavity of this unknown skeleton?

I've been gone for so long, and I'm still stuck in the same old mindset!

"This size... it must be a snake-like magical beast, right? But its head is way too big!"

It's a hundred miles long and tens of feet in diameter. And this is its true form. It must be at least a ninth-order magical beast, right?

Unfortunately, it's unclear how long this thing has been dead; its bones have all turned to fossils...

Knowing it wasn't a relic, Ye Chen hesitated about continuing forward. After all, who knew what could possibly remain of a fossilized corpse? Any remnants would likely have been erased by time.

Moreover, Ye Chen had previously been somewhat confused about what the little snake swimming within the Earth's core soul marrow was, but now he seemed to have a clue...

It is highly likely that the little snake was nurtured by the Earth's core essence using the residual soul power of this unknown snake-like magical beast, giving birth to a special soul, much like the spirit of a strange fire that has gained sentience. Both are spirits born of heaven and earth.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Chen decided he should investigate further. If there was really nothing there, he would only have wasted a little time. But if he could find something...

This is the remnant of what appears to be a ninth-tier magical beast. It's an extremely rare and precious treasure that you can only dream of. Wouldn't it be a shame to miss it?

& nb

Having made his decision, Ye Chen immediately resolved to continue his exploration.

However, upon learning that it was merely a corpse, Ye Chen increased his speed considerably. After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, he saw the end of the sea of ​​consciousness; judging from the stone wall above, this should be the location of the giant serpent's head…

Looking around, Ye Chen didn't find anything that caught his attention. This left him slightly disappointed...

"Could it be that nothing was really left behind?"

Somewhat unwilling to give up, Ye Chen carefully examined his surroundings again, and unexpectedly, he actually found something unusual this time...

Looking at the bone path beneath his feet, he realized it must be the spine of this giant snake, and the spot where he was standing was clearly different from the rest.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen extended his right hand, and silver starlight appeared, forming a sharp fire blade in his palm...

Finally, with lightning speed, the blade swept across the surface of the bone-like ground.

puff!

The fire blade lightly sliced ​​across the surface of the bone ground, and a large piece of bone stone broke off, revealing a section inside that shimmered with a jade-like light.

This delighted Ye Chen, and he dug even more enthusiastically...

With the help of the Starfire Blade, Ye Chen quickly dug out the shimmering object, which turned out to be a section of the spine about the length of an arm...

The skeleton shimmered with seven colors under the starlight, and felt cool to the touch, like the finest jade. This made Ye Chen think to himself, "This... such a large snake, could all its essence be concentrated in this small section of the spine?"

After examining it twice, Ye Chen suddenly noticed that the jade bone was covered with strange characters. These characters shimmered with an extremely subtle luster and looked like they were slowly wriggling, as if they were alive.

Ye Chen's eyes lit up immediately: "Is this... a cultivation technique or a fighting skill?"

He placed the jade bone on his forehead, and instantly, the characters on the bone flooded into Ye Chen's mind, transforming into a vast amount of cultivation technique information...

"The Nine Revolutions Heavenly Serpent Treasure Record! This is actually a special serpent clan cultivation technique? And it's even a Heaven-rank technique!"

Ye Chen's face lit up with joy.

Although ordinary people cannot cultivate this technique, Queen Medusa and Qing Lin are able to...

Especially the latter, there is still no suitable cultivation method. When Ye Chen sent Lin Xiu to the Northwest Continent before, he even thought about whether to send him to the Heavenly Serpent Palace.

However, considering that the Snake Mansion might have a hidden Dou Zun powerhouse, Ye Chen gave up on the idea.

Unexpectedly, this attack and subsequent ordeal in this unknown wilderness turned out to be a blessing in disguise, leading to the acquisition of so many treasures!

"As for the Butterfly, with the inherited memories of the Seven-Colored Devouring Python, she might not be interested in the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Serpent Treasure Record. However, the Azure Scale will definitely be able to cultivate it," Ye Chen thought to himself.

The Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python is also a top-tier snake-type magical beast, even comparable to the Heavenly Serpent. After evolving into the Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, it is even stronger than the Heavenly Serpent. Therefore, Ye Chen thought that Queen Medusa would not abandon her own inherited cultivation method to cultivate some Heavenly Serpent Treasure Record...

Of course, the specific choice is ultimately up to her.

Just as Ye Chen was thinking about his future plans, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet begin to shake, and then huge cracks appeared throughout the entire passageway cave...

"Oh no, this bone passage is about to collapse! Run!"

Realizing this, Ye Chen didn't care about anything else. His body was surrounded by starlight, and he immediately rushed out of the bone passage!

Chapter 238 The Wronged Wolf King

Amidst endless mountains.

Suddenly, an ordinary mountain began to shake, and then it began to collapse from the inside, eventually collapsing completely.

The magical beasts in the mountains were desperately trying to escape. Some were unlucky enough to be crushed to death by boulders, while others sank into the ground.

The magical beasts that had been roaming the surrounding mountains were startled by the earthquake and all looked up at the gradually disappearing mountain peaks...

Suddenly, a wave of fire erupted from inside the mountain, like an erupting volcano, with flames shooting straight up the peak.

However, to their surprise, after the flames subsided, a somewhat disheveled-looking human suddenly appeared in the sky...

This scene caught the eye of many high-level magical beasts.

For so many years, few humans have appeared here. Now that one has suddenly appeared, isn't that just walking into a trap and becoming food for oneself?

At that moment, several fifth-tier magical beasts were already itching to attack, and some were even eager to rush out...

Unfortunately, before they could take any action, the person in the sky released a terrifying pressure, forcing all the magical beasts within a radius of dozens of miles to prostrate themselves on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

Even the previously restless fifth-tier magical beast died instantly under the opponent's gaze, frightening all the magical beasts around who witnessed this scene so much that they wished they could burrow into the ground.

Ye Chen naturally ignored the intentions of these low-level magical beasts. His gaze swept across the area and found a sixth-tier magical beast, a grey wolf...

With a slight upturn of his lips, Ye Chen took a light step forward, and in the next moment, he appeared on the mountain where the Azure Wolf King was located.

Little did he know, his action nearly scared the Wolf King, who was hiding in his lair trying to turn himself into thin air, to death...

"Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me... Holy crap, how did this guy get here?!"

The Wolf King's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as it stared at the demon-like figure who walked step by step toward it...

Looking at the large creature huddled up in front of him, Ye Chen would have thought he had encountered a husky if it weren't for its size and color being different.

"Alright, alright, stop pretending to be dead. I just want to ask you a question. Don't worry, I won't hit you." Ye Chen said to the cowardly guy with a speechless expression.

Upon hearing that he wouldn't be beaten, the Wolf King cautiously peeked out. After confirming that Ye Chen's words were credible, he stood up, then put on a fawning smile and said, "Hehehe, sir, please ask. I will answer everything I know!"

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen sighed and shook his head.

Everyone says Warcraft has a strong sense of pride, but how did I end up with such a weirdo...?

No matter what, you are a sixth-tier peak magical beast comparable to an eight or nine-star Dou Huang in humans, so why are you so sleazy and cowardly?

"Where is this place? What is the nearest human city?"

Upon hearing Ye Chen's question, the previously fawning Wolf King suddenly revealed a strange expression...

Is this human powerhouse an idiot? If you don't know where you are, why did you come here?

r />

However, Ye Chen immediately understood from its expression that this idiot was cursing him in his heart...

Snapped!

A whip made of silver fire lashed down hard on the stupid wolf's head, leaving a charred, bloody gash on its glossy fur.

"Ouch..."

The Wolf King was struck so hard that it howled in agony, rolling around on the ground with its front paws covering its head.

"Answer my questions obediently, or I'll skin you alive if you dare to have any more wild thoughts!"

Faced with Ye Chen's fiery whip, the Wolf King immediately became obedient, nodding its huge head rapidly and saying aggrievedly, "Yes, yes, yes, Master is right to discipline me, I, the little wolf, will never dare to do it again!"

"Then answer my question or you'll get whipped!" Ye Chen shouted angrily, waving his fiery whip and scaring the honest dog half to death.

"Replying to your question, sir, this mountain range is called Cangmang Mountain. It is located in the southwest of the Central Region of Zhongzhou. The nearest human city is Molan City, which is a thousand miles to the south!"

"The southwestern region of the Central Region? It's not far, but I don't know if Molan City belongs to the territory of Burning Flame Valley or Sound Valley..." Ye Chen pondered to himself.

The Dan Domain is located in the very center of the Central Region of the Central State. He broke through the spatial passage from the Dan Domain and arrived in the southwestern region of the Central Region, so his situation is not too bad.

There are two top powers in the southwest of the Central Region: Burning Flame Valley and Sound Valley. They are one of the three valleys along with Ice River Valley, but Burning Flame Valley is much stronger than Ice River Valley. The two are completely incomparable.

As for Yin Gu, although he is rarely mentioned in the original work, Ye Chen had contact with him in this life and knew that he had a deep connection with the Dan family, so he must not be a simple character.

From this perspective, of the so-called three valleys, only Glacier Valley is truly weak and deserves to be bullied!

Well, okay, when you think about it, it seems like I'm the one who bullied Ice Valley, right?

However, reflecting on his own experience, if Ice River Valley hadn't provoked him, he wouldn't have been so easily targeted by the Soul Hall. So, all things considered, Ice River Valley bears an undeniable responsibility for his current predicament...

When I get back this time, I'll definitely make that old devil Binghe bleed me dry to mend my fragile little heart.

Having determined the location, Ye Chen decided not to waste any more time in this desolate wilderness. He glanced at the large dog, which he had beaten and frightened into a pitiful state, and after thinking for a moment, he simply tossed it a Rank 6 pill...

"Alright, you're a big wolf now, stop crying and whining here, it's annoying. Consider this pill your compensation. Be smarter next time, or you'll get beaten up again..."

Dropping the medicine bottle, Ye Chen turned and vanished into thin air.

As for the Wolf King on the ground, after realizing that Ye Chen had really left, it quickly looked at the flawless white jade medicine bottle on the ground, curled its tongue, and swallowed the medicine bottle along with its contents...

Take a big bite, and it's crunchy!

The pure medicinal power of the sixth-grade pill instantly filled its body, causing the Wolf King's originally aggrieved face to immediately show a comfortable smile.

"The pills taste so good..."

"If only there were a few more..."

"But that person is too fierce. As soon as I absorb this pill, I'll leave Cangmang Mountain overnight. I'll head north and run as far away as possible, making sure I never run into that guy again..."
