Returning to their camp, the three War Cavalry Commanders directly chose to go into seclusion to refine the Saint's essence blood and combat imprints, preparing to make a breakthrough.
The three hundred Primordial War Cavalry all followed the body tempering plan Ye Chen had devised, using Saint's essence blood and ferocious beast treasure blood to temper their bodies and bones, seeking to reach a higher level.
It could be foreseen that once they emerged from seclusion, the three hundred Primordial War Cavalry would become even more powerful and terrifying, their combat strength ascending to a new level.
On the Floating Divine Islands, Wang Ming appeared. He was a Saint Lord-level existence, a supreme commander on the Qingyang Domain side. Wherever he passed, all looked upon him with reverence, even the other high-ranking figures.
Only Ye Chen could remain calm-faced, walking shoulder to shoulder with him, leading many to speculate about the relationship between the two. It didn't seem like that of senior and junior, but more like a pair of friends, which was surprising.
Gazing at the vast and bloody Domain War battlefield, Ye Chen's eyes were distant. "Wang Ming, has Yaya awakened?"
Wang Ming shook his head. "Yaya has fallen into the deepest level of slumber cultivation. The Time-Space technique she cultivates is too profound; she cannot emerge in a short time, but her gains will surely be immense. She has already been taken back now, receiving better protection. Do you know by whom?"
Ye Chen was slightly taken aback, sighing softly. "Is it Jingruo?"
Jingruo, also known as the Goddess of the Present Era, was a peerless genius of a past generation, contemporary with Wang Ming and the War King. She was suspected to be an Immortal True King, a peerless goddess, and also the female Saint Lord in control of the Tai Chu Sacred Land, a stunning and forceful woman, matchless in the world.
Before ascending to her position, she had swept through everything, using absolute strength to clear away all undercurrents. After taking power, she absolutely controlled the entire Tai Chu Sacred Land. Even the numerous Supreme Elders dared not defy her authority.
She had also once taken action, slaying thirteen Saint Lords in a single night, her snow-white robes stained with blood, shaking the world for a time. While people marveled, there was even more a sense of awe.
She also gained the title of Blood-Robed Goddess, her might shaking the world for many years!
Among Ye Chen's several beloved wives from his past life, Zhao Jingruo was also the eldest sister among them.
Wang Ming gave a slight, bitter smile. "In this world, I'm afraid only you dare to call Jingruo-jie so intimately."
Intimate? They were originally betrothed, with a marriage contract in place, only the wedding ceremony remained. How could they not be intimate.
Recalling the beauty, Ye Chen sighed deeply, filled with emotion.
"The Tai Chu Sacred Land is a supreme Sacred Land, with an ancient Great Sage overseeing it. Its foundation is terrifying, far stronger than ordinary Immortal Sacred Lands. Yaya will receive excellent protection while in seclusion there; there's no need to worry," Wang Ming said.
Ye Chen nodded. He naturally understood the strength of a supreme Sacred Land. A single ancient Great Sage was enough to represent everything, capable of reigning over myriad domains, revered by all races.
He was just somewhat worried about the special nature of Yaya's identity—the World Tree. Grown to its limit, it could rival the Emperors and Sovereigns of the Mythical Era, ranking among the most noble beings between heaven and earth.
He feared that ancient Great Sage might take action against Yaya, forcing her submission. That would be the greatest misfortune.
Wang Ming said, "No need to worry. That ancient Great Sage seems to cherish Yaya very much, with no intention of harming her. On the contrary, he dotes on her, more than his own descendants, making Yaya completely the little princess of the Tai Chu Sacred Land. No one dares bully her. In fact, Jingruo-jie's ability to completely control the Tai Chu Sacred Land owes part of the credit to Yaya."
"That's good," Ye Chen nodded. If an ancient Great Sage were to act against Yaya, he currently had no way to stop it.
"Right now, Jingruo-jie doesn't know about your return. I think it's better to let Yaya tell her personally," Wang Ming paused before saying.
Ye Chen acknowledged with a sound.
Subsequently, Wang Ming handed a Memory Jade to Ye Chen. "This is the information you asked me to investigate. Everything is inside."
Back before leaving Black Sky City, Ye Chen had actually asked Wang Ming to help investigate some matters. Now Wang Ming had completed the investigation, storing it in the Memory Jade.
It contained information about the Tian Du Continent, the clan to which the Iceflame Heavenly King belonged, and also news about investigating Li Taixu and others.
Ye Chen sent a wisp of divine sense into the Memory Jade to read the information. Soon, he understood everything clearly.
Wang Ming's intelligence network was indeed powerful, having gathered quite a bit of information in less than a month.
According to the information, the Tian Du Continent was located in a great domain called the Myriad Saints Domain. It had long been completely penetrated by alien realm forces, a passage opened between the two realms, allowing free travel.
The so-called alien realm forces consisted of numerous powers from the myriad realms participating together, not lacking Immortal Sacred Lands and even supreme Sacred Lands. Their goal was the legacy of the September Great Power and the Heavenly Demon origin source that had been sealed and refined for countless years.
The original inhabitants of the Tian Du Continent, those below the Divine Transformation Realm, were basically safe and sound. The myriad domain powers paid them no mind. As for those at Divine Transformation and above who formed the Slaying the Heavens Alliance, they suffered heavy casualties, mostly fleeing to the border wastelands, hiding in the shadows, using secret techniques to conceal themselves within the Tian Du Continent, their whereabouts unknown.
They also seemed to understand that the myriad domain powers were not to be opposed, never appearing. During this period, the War King, the Peacock King, the Tai Su King, and other invincible kings stepped forward to protect them, unwilling to let the common people suffer.
With three invincible kings stepping in, naturally no one refused to give face. The Heavenly King Invincibles stood aloof, not particularly concerned, so everything remained relatively peaceful.
Although during this time some hostile individuals secretly took action, even including Saints, they were forcefully suppressed and killed by the three invincible kings on the grounds of challenging their authority, causing many to fear and dare not provoke further.
Some hostile invincible kings had the ability, but their focus was on the Great Power realm origin source; they never took action.
The invading major forces also studied the various ancient texts of the Tian Du Continent, learning of the King's Ancient Path. They suspected several times that there were secrets left by a Great Power, but it had completely vanished. Even Heavenly King Invincibles had attempted to deduce it but couldn't find a single trace, unable to locate it, not without regret.
This made Ye Chen nod slightly. The Tian Du Continent was safe, and his parents and loved ones on the King's Ancient Path were safe, putting his mind at ease.
Moreover, the War King and others would naturally take action to protect those he wished to protect.
It was just a pity that after entering the myriad realms, Crown Prince Xia Yang and others had vanished without a trace. Even an intelligence force as powerful as Wang Ming's found it difficult to investigate.
On another front, the clan of the Iceflame Heavenly King, Xia Zhidi, was located at the center of the myriad domains. It was one of the most powerful supreme Sacred Lands of the present era, with an ancient Great Sage overseeing it, reigning over the myriad heavens, looking down upon the myriad domains, incomparably powerful.
Many years ago, this clan indeed gave birth to a peerless genius who dazzled through the ages, advancing triumphantly all the way to the Heavenly King realm, roaming the myriad domains with pride, and very young, with vigorous vitality. He was hailed as a figure with great potential to become a Great Power after the clan's ancient ancestor.
However, later, while traveling the myriad realms, the Iceflame Heavenly King suddenly disappeared, his whereabouts unknown. The clan searched for many years but never found him.
If not for his Soul Lamp still being lit, the clan would have long believed the Iceflame Heavenly King had fallen.
They suspected it was the doing of hostile forces, unwilling to see another ancient Great Power emerge from their clan—two Great Powers from one lineage—posing a threat to them, hence sparing no effort to erase the Iceflame Heavenly King.
Therefore, they had been locked in confrontation with hostile forces for many years.
After understanding all this, Ye Chen nodded. At this point, on the Domain War battlefield, he had already collected four clusters of kingly blood, still lacking four. He needed to move to other regions to obtain kingly blood.
There was no longer any need to stay on the Domain War battlefield.
"It's a pity it's not the time for a true Domain War yet. Otherwise, you would witness the fearsomeness of a Domain War. That is a true great war where even Saint Lord-level powerhouses personally take part, affecting a vast area, extremely intense, with the risk of Saints falling at any moment," Wang Ming sighed.
That kind of Domain War was the true Domain War, where Saint Treasury Realm supreme experts would participate at any moment, and even Saint Lord-level existences would join. That scale was truly earth-shattering, with even Saints possibly falling.
It was highly likely even Saint Lord-level existences would be unavoidable, because every outbreak of a Domain War was when grudges between major domains were settled.
In comparison, what was happening now was merely small-scale skirmishes. Even Demi-Saints were considered top-tier experts within it, which spoke volumes.
Ye Chen nodded, somewhat mindful of this point. He also very much wanted to witness a true Domain War.
"The Military Merit Hall has quite a few true treasures. You should make a trip there when you have time," Wang Ming said finally.
The next morning, Ye Chen headed to the Military Merit Hall. As the name implied, it was a treasure hall for exchanging military merit, where many precious treasures could be exchanged for merit.
Naturally, truly precious treasures each required a considerable amount of military merit, not easily obtained.
This time entering the Domain War battlefield, he first annihilated the Heavenly Dragon Army, then destroyed the four-domain allied army, seized kingly blood, annihilated the Scarlet God Army, and even caused the Saints of five domains to be slain, with Saint Lord-level Dao weapons seized. It could be said he had achieved unprecedented great merit.
His military merit would naturally be very substantial.
Long before entering the battlefield, everyone had received a military merit token. Ye Chen naturally had one too; all his battle achievements were recorded on it.
The Military Merit Hall was quite magnificent and grand, with numerous warriors coming to exchange merit. Naturally, the hall also had a considerable number of treasures available for exchange, including some that would tempt even Saint Lord-level figures. As long as one had enough military merit, they could be exchanged.
To avoid attracting too much attention, Ye Chen wore a black cloak, his aura restrained, walking towards the front desk.
Because there were too many people exchanging merit, a long line had formed. Ye Chen didn't cut in line, quietly queuing.
Finally, after half a day, it was Ye Chen's turn. He handed over his military merit token, saying, "Hello, I'd like to exchange military merit—"
Before he could finish speaking, a group of people rudely cut in front of Ye Chen. "Let me go first!"
