Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 177: Back To Sect

"Huh, why is there no one stopping us? Did all people suddenly become good?" Wang Yiyi’s expression was incredulous as she felt the journey was too smooth.

Li Mei and Lan Ming were also doubtful.

But how could they know there were many cultivators hiding on the way? Its just before they had a chance to make a move, a sword pierced through their head, killing them on the spot.

It was a silent execution.

If not for Ye Chen threatening the dragoness to investigate, he wouldn’t have even found this.

(Humph! Are you satisfied now?) Long Ruxue’s expression was not good.

Well, being threatened with getting private memories read—even Buddha will have a temper.

Ye Chen, however, did not care about her at all.

"There are no good people in this world; they must be planning to kidnap you later and ransom my secrets in exchange," he stated while pinching her soft cheeks.

"Why would they kidnap me? I am not close to you!" Wang Yiyi pouted with a complaint.

"That’s what you say, but people believe otherwise. Don’t you know they are already claiming you are my fiancé?" he replied with a laugh.

"Humph! Humph! Who is your fiancé?" The little girl clenched her teeth in frustration.

How could she not know about the rumors? But there was nothing she could do. Of course, if her master stepped out to explain, things would be different.

But would Jing Xiao help her?

Certainly not!

The little girl, after all, gave something to Ye Chen she shouldn’t have. It was already good that Jing Xiao did not disown her for this.

Seeing the little girl in inner turmoil, Ye Chen felt like laughing.

However, he made sure his expression was calm.

It was fine to tease and bully her a little but to make her cry would be a bit too much.

Especially since Li Mei and Lan Ming were ignoring him.

If he made the little girl cry and she also started to ignore him, how would he get through his boredom?

Wang Yiyi did not know his evil thoughts; if she did, she would certainly demand back her tier-8 tree.

...

...

...

Swoosh!

After a long journey, they finally arrived at the Azure Cloud Sect.

"We are back!"

Both Li Mei and Lan Ming were excited.

The sect was, after all, home for them.

Ye Chen was much calmer; however, there was a faint smile hanging on his lips.

The reason was his divine ability area, which has been increased to eighty miles wide.

Which meant he could use his divine ability on a much larger scale.

’A pity that I don’t have the ability to purify heavenly dao crystals,’ he thought with disappointment.

Just a pinky-sized crystal could raise his divine ability area by this much. What would happen if he devoured ten heavenly dao crystals as big as apples?

However, his hopes could only remain as hope.

He did not possess the so-called Divine Dao Physique after all.

...

Bang!

"What do you mean my grandson Hu Tian has perished?! And you don’t want me to avenge him?" Hu Peng roared with a bloodthirsty look.

"Father, as much as you want to kill Ye Chen, I also want it. But he has the means to kill nascent soul cultivators; we are both not a match for him," Hu Ming stated with clenched fists.

Honestly, the death of Hu Tian did not cause much pain.

What really made him angry was that his opportunity to become a sect master was snatched away; furthermore, he was now a dog controlled by someone.

"Father, here is what we needed to do now," he said, explaining his plan in detail.

"Will it really work?" Hu Peng was tempted, but he did not agree immediately.

...

"Wow, you all live here?" Wang Yiyi, like a curious cat, started jumping here and there.

From the looks of Jing Xiao, it didn’t seem like she was going to leave soon. In the end, Zhen Yunqi could only arrange for them to live in her courtyard.

"Hmm, what’s that?"

As expected, Jing Xiao has sharp eyes; she instantly noticed there was a formation hidden behind the courtyard.

However, since she wasn’t a formation master, she could only look. The most she could do is try to make Li Mei and Lan Ming spill the beans.

As for Ye Chen, he did not care about this and returned to his room.

More than a month had gone by; in this time, Zhen Yunqi asked some servants to renovate the courtyard.

Especially his room, which was now made from heavy and strong wood.

"It’s time to cultivate."

He spoke to himself.

However, he had no intention to cultivate in this room.

With a thought he left a jade slip with a message and entered the inner world of the void pearl.

He appeared more than a thousand miles away from the kidnapped alchemists and Xue Feng.

Furthermore, with the void pearl controlling their activity area, he didn’t need to worry about getting disturbed.

"What are you planning to do?" Long Ruxue appeared outside with a stunned look.

Ye Chen, however, did not reply and continued to write the ’Celestial Dragon Ascension Art’ and ’Primordial Dragon Space-Time Codex.’

He was going to do something stupid and unbelievable.

Which was merging these two cultivation techniques with his ’Divine Resonance Arts.’

Of course he hadn’t lost his mind or was looking for death.

The divine resonance arts he cultivated allowed him to cultivate every technique; it’s just that it was focused around humans.

This wouldn’t have mattered too much before but now Ye Chen possesses divine dragon blood and nine-dragon heart, which can allow him to cultivate dragon arts.

He can, of course, cultivate all three techniques at once without any conflict but it comes with cons.

The main issue was the dragon arts would only be cultivated as auxiliary techniques, which meant he wouldn’t be able to exert their true power.

This meant the divine dragon blood and nine-dragon heat can’t play a big role.

He was unwilling to see this so he decided to merge the three cultivation techniques together.

Maybe he will fail, but it was better than not trying.

"Y-you don’t tell me—"

Long Ruxue finally realized what he wanted to do and became shocked.
