Chapter 2173 - 1999: Invitation to the Cosmic Sky Festival!

After coming out of seclusion, the old Heavenly King servant outside the Guardian Mansion stepped forward respectfully and said, "My lord, the Cosmic Sky Clan has sent someone to visit and has been waiting for three days, hoping to have an audience with you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen nodded, gesturing for the old Heavenly King to let the strong individuals from the Cosmic Sky Clan enter. After all, the Cosmic Sky Clan is the true ruler of Cosmic Sky City, and as the saying goes, ’the mighty dragon does not oppress the local snake.’ There is no need to act superior and offend the Cosmic Sky Clan, who rules this territory.

Especially since this is the territory of the Cosmic Sky Clan, and they have waited for three days without forcefully entering, which sufficiently shows their sincerity.

Ye Chen has always been one to return respect when given, and naturally, this situation immediately made him feel favorable.

The strong individuals from the Cosmic Sky Clan who arrived were none other than the Super Great Power who had previously stopped various clans’ big figures from entering the Divine Island. Dressed in moon-white luxurious clothes, with crane-white hair and youthful looks, his brows and beard snow-white, he portrayed the aura of immortality and Dao bone. As he stepped into the door and met Ye Chen coming towards him, he was momentarily taken aback.

Evidently, he did not expect that the Alchemy Master who refined the Eighth-Order Treasure Pill was such a young prodigy, subconsciously frowning, thinking that the Alchemy Master’s personality might be arrogant. He, a Super Great Power of the Cosmic Sky Clan, had waited for three days and personally came to visit, yet still only a disciple was sent to receive him, making him somewhat displeased.

Nevertheless, being an old antique who had lived for many years with deep intrigue, he only slightly frowned and then said, "Young friends, I have come to visit today, may I know where the Master is?"

Aben, Mo Haishen, Luoo Guyun, and the other nine underling Supreme Geniuses looked peculiar without saying a word, but Ye Chen smiled lightly, cupped his hands, and said, "Senior speaks too highly, I dare not call myself a Master."

Upon hearing these words, the Cosmic Sky Clan’s Super Great Power immediately understood that the Alchemy Master who refined the Eighth-Order Treasure Pill was indeed this young successor before him.

The great disparity left this Super Great Power somewhat stunned, muttering to himself, "Young friend, are you really that Alchemy Master?"

Ye Chen smiled faintly, "I dare not take the title of Master!"

Instantly, the Cosmic Sky Clan Super Great Power took a cold breath, looking at Ye Chen with shock. This young man, counting by age, was just as old as those prodigies within the clan, with a clear vitality of the younger generation that was entirely unlike those old monsters deliberately disguising as youngsters.

Yet he could not imagine how such a young prodigy, even if his talent was tremendously extraordinary, could reach the level of a Level 8 Alchemy Master at such an age.

Consider that even those renowned Alchemy Masters of the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain spent countless years to reach that step, yet the Alchemy Master before him was just too young, beyond belief.

Nevertheless, as someone experienced and worldly-wise, although this matter was rather unbelievable, wasn’t it just like a hundred years ago when the appearance of the 108 Ancient Divine Clans was equally incredible?

This Super Great Power of the Cosmic Sky Clan reluctantly accepted this fact, still managing a bitter smile, "The Master is indeed too young, so young that it’s hard for me to believe."

Ye Chen smiled and did not contradict this fact, appearing very calm.

Such demeanor convinced the Cosmic Sky Clan’s Super Great Power somewhat, at least the young geniuses of the current era, even the most outstanding within the clan faced him with some reverence. However, this Alchemy Master kept a composed calmness.

This calmness was not forcibly acted but was inner peace, facing such a Super Great Power as if confronting a person of the same level, without any awe, instead familiar with it.

What a young prodigy, even if not an Alchemy Master, such a mental realm alone would grant him extra regard.

Ye Chen cupped his hands, slightly apologetic, "I apologize, I was a bit fatigued from alchemy previously and rested for a few days, and now officially come out, having kept the senior waiting."

The Super Great Power of the Cosmic Sky Clan hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist, don’t humble yourself. You are an Alchemy Master; as they say, the accomplished is the teacher. Although I am much older than you, your achievement in alchemy is unfathomable, and between us, we should consider ourselves peers. You may call me Zhou Yun."

What a joke, the status of a Level 8 Alchemy Master is far higher than ordinary Great Powers; even facing such Super Great Powers, they should be considered peers. How dare he boast, proclaiming himself as a senior?

These Alchemy Masters are typically proud and reclusive, even if the young Alchemy Master before him seemed easy to approach, he didn’t dare, lest inadvertently offend the other, which would be very bad.

Even the Cosmic Sky Clan hopes to make connections with such Level 8 Alchemy Masters.

Ye Chen did not object; knowing the other’s apprehension, he readily agreed, "If that’s the case, I won’t refuse, you may call me Mr. Qian. But Zhou Yun Fellow Daoist, you do not come to the Treasure Hall for no reason. May I ask your purpose this time?"

In the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, people either know of him as the Combat Saint King or by his real name, Ye Chen.

Except for within the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, few people truly know the name Mr. Qian.

Zhou Yun murmured the name Qian a few times, yet did not understand who in the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain this young Alchemy Master, known as Qian, could be.

Or perhaps it is a peerless figure from beyond the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain.

After all, in these years many clans of Emperors, Immortals, and Royals have descended, all from outside the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain. Zhou Yun wasn’t surprised anymore and didn’t think much about this issue, he chuckled: "Mr. Qian, I am here this time representing my clan to send you an invitation. I hope you can attend."

After speaking, he handed Ye Chen a letter, opening it revealed a platinum invitation: "Three days from now, my Cosmic Sky Clan will host the once-in-a-millennium Cosmic Sky Festival, inviting all major clans in the Second Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain. We hope Mr. Qian can slightly grace us with your presence."

It turns out the Cosmic Sky Clan is hosting a grand event, three days later will be the once-in-a-millennium Cosmic Sky Festival, commemorating the birth day of Cosmic Sky Ancestor God.

Although the Cosmic Sky Ancestor God perished long ago during the Dark Blood Era, the people of the Cosmic Sky Clan still remember the Cosmic Sky Ancestor God dearly, holding it once every millennium to honor the ancestor who led the Cosmic Sky Clan to greatness.

The Cosmic Sky Festival will invite distinguished figures from various clans.

Ye Chen had recently demonstrated outstanding alchemy techniques, naturally receiving an invitation from the Cosmic Sky Clan.

Moreover, this invitation was crafted using Pure Field Silver, one of the thirty-six rarest divine materials of Heavenly King Level, gleaming in platinum color, Dao Rhythms flowing, clearly an invitation of high caliber, a gesture of high respect for Ye Chen who could craft Level 8 Alchemist Master’s pills.

Seeing this, Ye Chen naturally did not refuse, accepted the invitation with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, your kind invitation, it would be ignorant of me not to accept. I shall personally attend the festival three days from now."

"Since Mr. Qian has agreed, then my Cosmic Sky Clan warmly welcomes your arrival." Zhou Yun laughed heartily, returned the gesture of a respectful fist and palm salute, then said: "Also, during the Cosmic Sky Festival, there will be a grand auction, which is a ten-year event in the entire Second Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain. There will be some treasures Mr. Qian might be interested in, concerning alchemy. You can take a look then."

"Oh, an auction?" Ye Chen also revealed a hint of interest, because one of the main purposes for coming to Cosmic Sky City this time was indeed due to the auction.

The once-every-ten-year auction, and it’s the auction of the entire Second Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, must be extraordinary.

After all, Ye Chen had also auctioned quite a few usable treasures in past auctions, and on this Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain left by many emperors, there might be some extraordinary treasures released for auction, which interests him.

Moreover, the more crucial point is the Dragon Soul Grass.

Zhou Yun chuckled, suddenly mysteriously said: "Mr. Qian, have you ever heard of Dragon Soul Grass?"

Upon hearing this term, even though Ye Chen already knew, he showed a hint of surprise.

Seeing Ye Chen’s expression of amazement, Zhou Yun’s face also gained a few gratified smiles, stroking his snow-white long beard, chuckled: "No need to hide from Mr. Qian, this time at our Cosmic Sky Festival, the auction will feature Dragon Soul Grass. It is a legendary immortal grass born from the place where True Dragons fall, incredibly precious. Fellow Daoist Ye Chen, you Alchemy Masters must be very interested in it."

Ye Chen took a deep breath, turned to glance at Aben in the distance, and saw the latter’s enchanting face showing a few traces of excitement.

Becoming a Pure Blood True Dragon has always been Aben’s dream.

She carries part of Dragon Origin within her, although an Alien Species Insect Queen, her life level has long surpassed Insect Queen, entirely evolving towards Pure Blood True Dragon.

And having absorbed the Emperor Bloodline Power of seven high-level young supremes, her fusion of bloodline power is exceptionally strong, aiming to become the strongest young supreme and eventually a Pure Blood True Dragon.

But like this, it’s uncertain how long it will take to reach that state.

If she could get a piece of Dragon Soul Grass, absorb its True Dragon Soul, it would greatly guide the Dragon Origin within her, leading her to transform thoroughly in a short time, having more than a fifty percent chance to become a Pure Blood True Dragon.

At that time, Aben would transcend everything, standing at the same level as emperors’ sons and daughters, as the strongest young supreme.

Undoubtedly, it would be a good thing for Aben, and equally so for Ye Chen.

Only the strongest young supreme has the qualification to truly transcend all, to prove Dao and become Emperor.

In the blood-stained future, Ye Chen needs such Emperor Dao experts’ assistance to resist together.

Hence, whether it’s for helping Aben or considering the blood-stained future, Ye Chen wants to obtain this Dragon Soul Grass.

"Not going to lie, I want to get this Dragon Soul Grass, wondering if you can help me obtain it without going through auction?" Ye Chen candidly asked.
