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

Black Corner

The area, once known as a land of sin, is now somewhat unworthy of its name.

It all started with the rise of a force called the Three Beasts Sect...

As a pawn left by Ye Chen in the Black Corner Region, although it was just a casual move, with the support of the Ye family, the Three Beasts Sect quickly gained a foothold in the Black Corner Region. Subsequently, with the continuous improvement of the strength of the three sect leaders, their influence also grew.

It wasn't until Ye Chen's gaze fell upon this place again, and he even sent the Black and White Twin Bears over, that the Three Beasts Sect truly ascended to the position of overlord of the Black Corner Region.

Today, the three sect leaders, who usually remained in seclusion for cultivation, unexpectedly emerged from their seclusion together. Even the two powerful Venerables who hadn't shown their faces for years appeared. This scene greatly surprised all the disciples of the Three Beasts Sect, who had no idea what had happened...

"Brother, it's been many years since we last saw the young master..."

In a secluded valley within the mountains where the Three Beasts Sect is located, the youngest of the three Yao brothers looked at his eldest brother and couldn't help but speak as he gazed at the spatial wormhole exit that was constantly flashing with silver spatial power.

After listening to his brother's words, Boss Yao also showed a look of admiration.

"Yes, when we first became your disciples, we were just minor Battle Kings, while you were merely a teenager..."

"In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. Although the three of us brothers have broken through to the Dou Zong level, which we never imagined, the young master has already stood at the very top of the entire continent, so much so that we can no longer even see his back."

Speaking of which, the three brothers were considered veterans under the young master, a status that made them all very proud.

Not far in front of the three brothers were two enormous figures.

Both figures were nearly three meters tall, one entirely white, the other pitch black. Most importantly, their physiques were completely beyond the realm of normal human form.

Actually, that's not entirely wrong...

The Black and White Bears, having condensed the bloodline of the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear into human form, are already considered half-beasts, so it's not surprising that their appearance is different from ordinary people.

After helping Ye Chen obtain those hundreds of thousands of soul essences from the Human Palace, in order to prevent the Soul Palace from finding him through the clues, Ye Chen directly sent the two to a remote place like the Black Corner Region. Firstly, to avoid the limelight, and secondly, to help him keep watch over the Black Corner Region.

However, Ye Chen treated the two of them very well, providing them with a considerable supply of seventh-grade pills every year, and occasionally even eighth-grade pills as a reward.

Over the past decade, the Black and White Bears have not only fully adapted to the changes in their bloodline, but their strength has also broken through to the level of an eight-star Dou Zun, making them powerful figures even in the Central Plains.

These five individuals already represent the strongest fighting force the Ye family has deployed in the Black Corner Region. The fact that they were there so early in the morning to wait for them speaks volumes about their identities.

hum!

As time passed, at a certain moment, the slowly rotating spatial gate suddenly emitted a piercing buzzing sound. Then, ripples appeared in the silver space, and a pitch-black portal opened directly...

"Greetings, young master!"

As soon as the first person stepped out of the space, the Black and White Bears and the three Yao brothers, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted.

Chapter 541 Meeting an Old Friend

Ye Chen looked at the five people kneeling on the ground, and nodded in satisfaction, especially when his gaze swept over the three Yao brothers.

Ye Chen felt somewhat gratified that these three characters, who had pitifully few roles in the original work, had grown to their current level.

As for the Black and White Bears, they possess the bloodline power of the ancient ferocious beast, the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear, so their current strength is a normal performance.

"Get up."

Ye Chen nodded to the five people, then raised his hand and waved it. Five streams of light flew out from his hand and stopped in front of the five people respectively.

"You've been trapped in this corner of the Black Corner Region for so many years, thank you for your hard work..."

Five Rank 8 Five-Colored Thunder Pills are nothing to Ye Chen now, but they are extremely precious to the Black and White Twin Bears and the Yao brothers.

"Thank you, sir!"

“Serving the young master is no hardship, hehe…” Yao Laosan said with a grin after standing up, only to be glared at fiercely by his elder brother.

Ye Chen didn't seem to care, he just smiled and waited for the people behind him to appear.

This time, Ye Chen brought at least Dou Sheng level experts; aside from the necessary personnel left behind, there were fewer than thirty in total…

Although the number is small, after the two great wars of the Medicine Realm War and the Soul Realm War, it is unlikely that any force can produce so many Dou Sheng powerhouses at once, except for the Dan Tower, which controls the entire Central Continent and is an ally of the Dragon Clan.

"Let's go, our destination is Canaan Academy!"

When this name was mentioned, many people were confused, while others were quite surprised.

Take, for example, Zi Yan, who came from Canaan Academy...

"Canaan Academy? Big brother, could the entrance to this Dou Di Cave be at Canaan Academy?" Zi Yan asked in surprise.

"Not bad, do you still remember the magma world beneath the Burning Heaven Refining Tower?" Ye Chen chuckled, offering a hint.

"Uh, is it the magma world where the Fallen Heart Flame lived? Could it be that the Dou Di's cave is down there?" Zi Yan was even more surprised.

"good……"

"I think the Soul Emperor should be able to obtain some information about the location of the Dou Di's cave from that ancient jade. We need to get there before him, otherwise the entire Canaan Academy will probably be reduced to ashes..."

"Ah, let's go quickly!" Zi Yan said hurriedly after hearing Ye Chen's words.

Although she was a troublesome little nuisance during her time in the inner courtyard, her feelings for him after so many years will never change, especially towards Elder Su Qian, whom she considers like family.

Ye Chen quickly nodded in agreement. At their speed, they arrived above Canaan Academy in less than ten minutes.

……

……

Today is another joyous day for Canaan Academy, with new students entering and returning students being promoted to the inner academy. A ceremony was held to commemorate this occasion, and the entire academy was filled with a joyous atmosphere.

The ceremony square was packed with people, and a torrent of voices converged and soared into the sky.

In the center of the square, there were several sizable arenas, where fighting spirit was bursting forth and figures were crisscrossing, making the scene exceptionally fierce and intense.

Occasionally, the victor stands proudly, attracting the attention of many young girls who gaze at him with captivating eyes.

The entire college is filled with the unique energy of young people because of this.

"Wow! Look, look! It's a senior from the Star Pavilion! She actually knocked that big oaf off the stage! She's amazing!"

A group of male freshmen surrounded a fighting ring, their eyes completely fixed on a female senior student on the ring, who was wearing a student uniform but had a star pattern embroidered on her chest.

"Tch, what's so surprising about that?" A senior student glanced disdainfully at the group of freshmen upon seeing this. "Everyone knows that the senior students in the Star Pavilion are among the strongest in the academy; they occupy more than half of the top ten spots on the rankings..."

"Even the female instructors and elders in the inner courtyard are almost all from the Star Pavilion. It can be said that they are the strongest student group in our Canaan Academy!"

Who would have thought that the small academy group that Xinyue and Hanyue started out of boredom would have grown to what it is today, ten years later?

Even the overall strength of all the female students in the inner courtyard has increased significantly...

Of course, since both Xin Yue and Han Yue had forgotten about the so-called Star Pavilion after leaving Canaan Academy, it was destined that it could not develop into the Black Corner Region like the Panmen in the original work.

On the high platform, Su Qian looked at the lively scene in the square, a smile appearing on his aged face.

Being able to witness the academy flourish more and more under his leadership, as the Grand Elder who orchestrated all of this, he naturally had every right to be happy.

Moreover, in the past ten years, Su Qian's strength has improved considerably, reaching the peak of the Dou Zong realm. Although he is not as strong as he was at the same time in the original story, he is still quite remarkable.

However, his smile didn't last long before he was immediately drawn to a dark mass of people in the distance...

"not good!"

That direction is where the people of the Black Corner Region are!

The next moment, Su Qian instantly stood up, and his powerful battle aura burst forth.

"Enforcement team, elders, be on alert!"

The sudden scene startled the trainees below, and many of them stared blankly at the sky, unsure of what to do.

The moment Su Qian's voice fell, terrifying auras soared into the sky from all parts of the inner courtyard, the weakest of which were at the Dou Huang level.

As for the remaining instructors at the Battle King level, they began to evacuate the students in an orderly manner, allowing them to return to their respective dormitories for safety.

A blood-red figure sped towards them from afar, accompanied by a slender woman in a red dress.

"Elder, what happened?"

The visitors were Wu Hao, who was in charge of the enforcement team, and Hu Jia, who was an elder.

These two were originally students who entered the inner academy at the same level as Xiao Yan. The latter even joined the Star Pavilion with Xun'er. Since they were originally from the academy, they naturally chose to stay at the school after graduation.

The two of them are now no weaker than Su Qian, and even someone like Wu Hao, who is in charge of the enforcement team, has combat power comparable to a high-level Dou Zong!

"It's not clear yet, but they seem to be from the Black Corner Region..."

Su Qian looked at the approaching figure and said with a serious expression.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a streak of purple light landed directly in front of him...

"who?!"

Wu Hao and Hu Jia were startled; the former had even unleashed a blood-red greatsword...

Faced with a ruthless and ferocious sword strike from a peak Dou Zong, the newcomer simply raised his jade-like palm and crushed the blood-red sword energy.

& nb

"This...!" Wu Hao and Hu Jia were stunned.

How strong is the person who was able to withstand Wu Hao's attack so easily?

"stop!"

Su Qian stopped the two with a serious expression.

Looking at the stunning woman in the elegant purple dress before him, Su Qian felt a strange sense of familiarity... Most importantly, Su Qian did not sense any hostility from her.

Otherwise, judging solely from the opponent's displayed strength, even if all of them attacked together, they might not be able to harm the opponent in the slightest.

"Tsk tsk, old man, after all these years, I didn't expect you still only have this much strength..."

The newcomer crossed his arms, tilted his head, and stared at the gaunt old man, Su Qian, with a look of great interest for a while. Just when everyone was puzzled, he suddenly spoke.

"May I ask who you are...?" Su Qian frowned, searching his memory for information about the girl in front of him.

At the same time, Hu Jia, who was standing next to him, had her eyes shining. She nudged Wu Hao, whose face was gloomy, with her elbow and said in a voice transmission, "Hey, the other party actually knows the Grand Elder. What do you think their relationship is?"

Wu Hao stared intently at the woman, showing no intention of looking at her at all, but still replied, "I don't know, and I don't want to know!"

Wu Hao's mind was filled with the scene of the other party catching his sword energy, which greatly shocked him.

The newcomer's eyes widened at Su Qian's expression, and he said with displeasure, "What? Old man, you've actually forgotten about me..."

Before Su Qian could speak, the other person's tone suddenly changed, and they said happily, "But that makes sense, after all, I'm all grown up now!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, Su Qian suddenly realized and exclaimed incredulously, "You are... Zi Yan?!"

“That’s right, it’s me!” Zi Yan puffed out her chest as soon as she saw that Su Qian recognized her.

As soon as the name was mentioned, all the senior elders around immediately realized who it was, and they all remembered the little girl who had caused headaches for the entire inner courtyard.

“I never imagined that more than ten years have passed and you’ve finally grown up…” Su Qian’s voice was full of emotion.

When I found her in this desolate mountain, she was a violent little girl who didn't know anything and kept saying that she wanted to grow up. She was a complete problem child.

Looking at the tall, elegant, and stunningly beautiful woman in front of him, Su Qian couldn't possibly confuse the two.

Just as the two were about to catch up, another figure appeared among them in the same way.

Having learned from Zi Yan's experience, the group wasn't too surprised, and they also knew that the newcomer wasn't an enemy...

"Elder, it's been a long time." Ye Chen smiled and nodded to Su Qian in greeting.

Su Qian naturally recognized Ye Chen, since the latter's appearance hadn't changed much over the years; his strength had simply become even more terrifying.

Moreover, Su Qian had also heard just how terrifying Ye Chen's power was now...

"President Ye? What brings you here? What brings you to Canaan Academy this time...?"

Although Su Qian and Ye Zhong had some past relationship, so many years have passed that they are now from two different worlds, so Su Qian's tone carried a hint of restraint and distance.

Ye Chen didn't waste any words and directly told Su Qian the purpose of his visit...

After hearing Ye Chen's words, Su Qian felt terrible.

"You mean there's actually a Dou Di cave hidden in the magma world beneath our Difficult Academy?"

That sounds like a joke...

The Dou Di (Battle Emperor) was far beyond their reach, and they never dared to hope that such an existence would have anything to do with them.
