"Hmm... how about calling it the Myriad Transformations Star Palace?" Ye Chen stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before speaking.
"..."
Liu Tiandao's smile froze. This place doesn't even have a name for its faction? Do I have to get it from scratch?
However, he quickly realized what was going on, clapped his hands, and exclaimed, "Good, good! Named after the starry sky, encompassing everything, the Myriad Transformations Star Palace, what a great name!"
Mandala's lips twitched, and she quickly moved away from the sycophant, as if afraid of being influenced by his fawning demeanor.
Ye Chen couldn't help but chuckle softly, never expecting that this Xuan Tian Palace Master was such a remarkable person.
With a flick of his finger, he sent a jade bottle identical to Zi'er's to Liu Tiandao's feet, saying, "Here is one hundred million Supreme Spirit Liquid. Consider it a bonus for joining my Star Palace. Go back and cultivate diligently, striving to break through to the Upper Earthly Sovereign level as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Star Palace grows stronger in the future, and you, as elders, are too weak, wouldn't it make me, the Palace Master, seem too harsh..."
Liu Tiandao's eyes lit up as he looked at the full bottle of Supreme Spirit Liquid in front of him.
"Thank you for the reward, Palace Master!"
Just a few kind words and he can get 100 million Supreme Spirit Liquid. That's a year's income for my Xuantian Palace! This Palace Master is too rich!
It seems I really made the right move!
This scene made Mandala raise an eyebrow slightly. Although she didn't say anything, she was somewhat puzzled...
You know, Ye Chen gave me 5 billion back then, but now he's reduced it by 50 times. Could it be that this guy has some ulterior motive?
"Don't overthink it. I know your true strength is far more than what you've shown. Right now, you're just a dragon swimming in shallow waters. When you soar to the sky in the future, you will definitely be far superior to Liu Tiandao. That's why I'm treating you differently..."
Ye Chen's words rang directly in Mandala's ears, startling the cold-faced loli.
"How could this person see through my current state?" This sudden turn of events made Mandala's heart tighten.
However, upon thinking about her true identity, she immediately felt relieved... In this world, absolutely no one would know her true identity, let alone someone like the other person who came from a lower plane.
"He could even see that I was cursed, so it's not surprising that he could guess my original strength..."
Mandala comforted herself in her heart.
After calming down the suspicious little girl Mandala, Ye Chen said to the two of them, "Don't spread the news about the Star Palace for now. I will be away for a while to seek a breakthrough opportunity. This period will last at least a year and a half, and at most three to five years. When I return, it will be the time for my Myriad Transformations Star Palace to reign supreme over the Northern Realm!"
However, after hearing only the first half of his words, Mandala's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in surprise, "You're actually confident you can break through?!"
Liu Tiandao, standing to the side, looked surprised. It was just a breakthrough. Although the other party was strong, it wasn't impossible for their cultivation to break through. Why were you so surprised that he used it well?
Mandala, however, ignored all of that. Her large eyes widened, and her voice became somewhat hoarse as she said, "Aren't you already a half-step Heavenly Sovereign? If you break through again, wouldn't that mean..."
"The Supreme Being?!"
These three words were shouted out by Liu Tiandao.
When Mandala revealed that Ye Chen's cultivation was at the half-step Heavenly Sovereign level, he completely understood why this Great Luo Domain Lord was so shocked.
That's the Supreme Being of Heaven!
In today's vast world, how many people openly possess the top-tier super strength of a Heavenly Sovereign?
If their palace master could truly reach such a legendary realm, then their Myriad Transformations Star Palace would not only be able to unify the Northern Realm, but also unify the Tianluo Continent and become the next super top power in the Great Thousand Worlds—that would be a certainty!
Chapter 578 White Dragon Continent
The Northern Cang Continent, while not considered a particularly powerful continent in the Great Thousand Worlds, is still quite famous because it is home to the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, one of the five great academies!
The so-called five academies are the Northern Cang Spirit Academy, the Holy Spirit Academy, the Martial Spirit Academy, the Azure Sky Spirit Academy, and the Myriad Phoenix Spirit Academy. Although these five academies do not have any Earthly Sovereign experts presiding over them, each academy has an ancient divine beast that has reached the Ninth Grade Sovereign level, and they all control the ancient artifact, the Mirror of Judgment...
Every three years, the Mirror of Judgment will detect exceptionally talented young people to enter the Spiritual Path. This is a very influential trial in the vast world, and many top forces will choose to participate after being selected.
Ye Chen was preparing to go to the White Dragon Continent, and the first thing he needed to do was to find the spatial location of the White Dragon Continent. This required him to go to the Northern Cang Continent to find the Dragon Demon Palace or the remnant soul of the White Dragon Supreme. Therefore, after leaving the Tianluo Continent, Ye Chen first needed to go to the Northern Cang Continent.
Although the two continents are far apart, it is not too much of a waste of time for Ye Chen, who is traveling alone.
When Ye Chen left the Northern Boundary, he had already handed everything over to Zhu Kun. With the help of Zi'er, Hei Lao, and Xiao Yi Xian, as well as the three Dragon Guards, controlling the Hundred Battle Domain shouldn't be a big problem.
Yes, because of Ye Chen's departure, Zhu Kun and Mandala discussed it and decided to temporarily separate the two sides, only maintaining the name of the alliance. Then Zhu Kun would occupy the entire Hundred Battles Domain in the name of the Myriad Transformations Star Palace, and the official explanation would be that the Myriad Transformations Star Palace spent a lot of money to hire the Great Luo Heaven Domain to help them conquer the Hundred Battles Domain as their territory...
The reason for doing this is to prevent the remaining top forces from feeling the crisis and choosing to unite, and then launching an attack on them during Ye Chen's absence.
Even with the combined forces of the Great Luo Heaven Domain and the Xuan Tian Palace, Zhu Kun, Mandala, and Liu Tiandao might not necessarily be afraid of the others, but it would still cause unnecessary casualties, making it a losing proposition.
This period will also allow Zhukun to recruit more powerful individuals to fill the gap in the core strength that the Myriad Transformations Star Palace currently lacks...
After all, the Northern Boundary is too vast. Even the smallest Hundred Battle Domain has several thousand cities, which requires a sufficient number of powerful figures like emperors and kings who can stand alone to guard it.
However, when Ye Chen left, he left a huge amount of Supreme Spirit Liquid for Little Fairy Doctor and the others. He even left the Spirit God Liquid he obtained from Zhu Rong to Zhu Kun. If the latter could really break through to the Upper Earth Supreme with the help of the Spirit God Liquid, then perhaps Ye Chen would not need to return at all, and they would be able to unify the Northern Realm!
However, it all depends on what Zhu Kun thinks for now. For Ye Chen, it is more important to break through to the Heavenly Supreme realm in the shortest possible time and to help his mother-in-law, Su Lingyin, break through to the Demon Emperor realm!

Northern Cangling Academy
The sky was suddenly torn apart, and a huge spatial vortex quickly formed, as if connecting to another world. At this moment, a majestic figure appeared before that dark and chilling spatial vortex.
An indescribable pressure descended from the sky, causing everyone in the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy to instantly stop all their movements.
Not to mention the students, even some elders were pale as they stared at that figure. They had never felt such pressure before. Even their most powerful Bei Ming from the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy had never experienced such suffocating pressure.
Who exactly is this unexpected person, that they are so powerful!
Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions; that imposing aura only flashed by and was then withdrawn...
Even so, it was still extremely terrifying and unbearable for these students who were not even Supremes.
"stop."
Soon, a figure of light shot into the sky from within the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy. It was revealed that the academy's dean, Taicang, had appeared. He looked at the figure in the sky with a solemn expression and was about to ask about the other party's origin.
Before he could speak, a familiar laugh echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
"Hehe, I never expected such an honored guest to come to my Northern Cang Spiritual Academy. I have failed to greet you properly and have been poor in my hospitality."
As the voice rang out, a somewhat hunched and aged figure appeared beside Dean Taicang; it was none other than the ancient divine beast Beiming Longkun, who guarded the Beicang Spiritual Academy.
"I wonder what brings this esteemed person to my Northern Cang Spiritual Academy?"
Upon seeing the appearance of the Northern Sea Dragon Kun, everyone present secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Clearly, within the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, this was the true pillar of stability.
The sudden arrival was naturally Ye Chen. He glanced at the ancient divine beast, the Northern Sea Dragon Kun, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"As expected of an ancient divine beast, its bloodline power is in no way weaker than that of a true dragon or a true phoenix. If given enough resources, it is not impossible for it to break through to the Heavenly Sovereign realm in the future."
He originally came just to ask for directions, but after seeing the Northern Sea Dragon Kun, who had reached the peak of the Ninth Grade Supreme Realm, he decided to forge a good relationship with him...
With a slight smile, Ye Chen said, "Don't worry, I just wanted to ask you about a place..."
Upon hearing this, both Bei Ming Long Kun and Dean Taicang breathed a long sigh of relief. The opponent's strength was truly terrifying. If they were really here to cause trouble, their Bei Cang Spiritual Academy might suffer heavy losses.
"No problem. I wonder what place you want to ask about, sir? My Northern Cang Spiritual Academy has stood on the Northern Cang Continent for countless years and is very familiar with this place." Bei Ming Long Kun said with a smile on his old face.

However, his words made Dean Taicang, who was standing next to him, tremble inwardly. He thought to himself, "How can this old man speak so incoherently at a time like this... What if the other person asks a question and you don't know the answer?"
This is actually a characteristic of the Northern Sea Dragon Kun. It likes to be mysterious and cryptic. Although its personality is a bit strange, it is also upright and speaks very frankly.
"White Dragon City, White Dragon Hill!" Ye Chen didn't care about anything else and directly stated the name of his destination.
Raising an eyebrow, Bei Minglongkun felt a hint of doubt. He wondered why such a powerful person would seek out the White Dragon Hill.
That place is just where a supreme expert fell. Even if there are some spiritual treasures there, they would only be attractive to people below the supreme level...
However, he wouldn't be foolish enough to ask so many questions, as it had nothing to do with him.
With a wave of his hand, the Northern Sea Dragon Kun sent out a stream of light that landed in front of Ye Chen, saying, "This is a spiritual map of the Northern Cang Continent. I have marked the locations of White Dragon City and White Dragon Hill. You can easily find them by following the map."
Ye Chen opened the spirit map and took a look.
Indeed, it was as the other party had said. He then nodded and thanked them, saying, "Thank you very much. Consider these small gifts as a token of my gratitude..."
As he spoke, Ye Chen flicked a streak of light, which turned out to be a jade bottle the size of a palm.
Beiming Longkun was initially prepared to refuse upon seeing the jade bottle, but he was completely stunned when he saw what was inside...
After giving the other party a thank-you gift, Ye Chen wasted no more time and directly tore through space and disappeared from the spot.
Only then did the Northern Sea Dragon Kun come to its senses. It then hurriedly looked towards Ye Chen's original location, only to see that the space had been restored...
"Tsk tsk, as expected of a powerhouse at the Earthly Sovereign level, he throws out tens of millions of Supreme Spirit Liquid with a single move. That's enough for this old man's decades of accumulation!"
Hearing the old man's mutterings, Dean Taicang's eyes widened. He was about to say something when he saw the old man transform into a streak of light...
This scene immediately made Taicang both laugh and cry. This old guy, does he think he's afraid of being given a share?
However, with these ten million Supreme Spirit Liquids, it should be enough to help this ancestor attempt to break through to the Earthly Sovereign realm, right? If that's the case, then perhaps their Northern Cang Spiritual Academy could leapfrog to become the top of the five great academies!
……
……
Regardless of what changes Ye Chen's gift brought to the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, after leaving the academy, following the map, he arrived at the location of White Dragon Hill in less than half an hour.
It was a continuous mountain range that seemed to stretch endlessly, with towering peaks that pierced the clouds and were occasionally punctuated by earth-shattering roars that stirred the spiritual energy of the world.
However, even such a majestic mountain range could not conceal the tragic aura rising from the earth, clearly a remnant of an earth-shattering battle.
Of course, this so-called tragic situation only applies to ordinary people. For Ye Chen, this level of ferocity is not even as strong as the battles he fought on the Dou Qi Continent...
Ye Chen scanned the mountains with his divine sense and easily locked onto a small, mirror-like lake nestled among them. The lake reflected the sky, and a faint spiritual energy continuously overflowed from the water, creating a scene resembling water vapor above the lake.
"Hehe, I've found you..."
Ye Chen smiled gently, then flicked his finger across the lake surface, and a surge of spiritual energy containing powerful spirituality instantly merged into the lake's surface.
The spiritual energy in this area suddenly surged and gathered towards the lake at an astonishing speed.
stop!
In the lake, spiritual energy rapidly condensed, then formed a faint shimmering light on the surface.
The figure was dressed in a white robe and looked somewhat indistinct, but a lifelike white dragon coiled on the robe, and a terrifying pressure rippled across the world at that moment.
Roar!
The roar of a dragon resounded as the light and shadow appeared, the lake water rippled, and the vast mist condensed into a white dragon, swirling around the light and shadow.
"Heh, so this is the protective formation left behind by that White Dragon Supreme..."
Ye Chen smiled lightly; he could break this level of protective formation with ease.
However, Ye Chen did not do that. Instead, he tore through space and easily entered the spiritual treasure behind the great formation.
The methods that posed a great threat to Mu Chen and others exploring the spiritual treasures in the original work were utterly ineffective in front of Ye Chen. In fact, Ye Chen deliberately took away some of the spiritual artifacts and rare treasures along the way, without breaking any of the traps or guards...
I wonder if someone will be furious if, in the future, they go to great lengths to break into this place in search of treasure, only to find that there's nothing of value left.
Well, I'm definitely going to get yelled at, but there's a 90% chance the person being yelled at will be the owner of this place...
"hey-hey."
Ye Chen revealed a mischievous smile. If it were like in the original story, with Mu Chen and the others barging in, who knows what would happen...
"Wow, a Dragon-Flood Spirit Ring, a high-grade spiritual artifact! Not bad, not bad at all, I'll take it!"
"Hmm, this black pillar must be the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar... This is a good thing, an ancient ferocious artifact, comparable to a sacred object. Although it is somewhat damaged, it is still extremely precious."
This is one of the items Ye Chen values most. In the original story, this thing can be fused with the Heavenly Emperor Sword to become a peerless sacred artifact that surpasses even the Saint-grade level, a true treasure!
"If you were to pick this up and swing it at someone, it would be much more effective than the monkey's golden cudgel."
Ye Chen imagined himself fighting while clinging to this pillar, and a slight chill ran down his spine; the image was too vivid to describe.
When Ye Chen came into contact with the pitch-black demonic pillar, an instant surge of dark, malevolent energy rushed in with overwhelming force, attempting to take over Ye Chen's body and erode his will.
However, before the malevolent energy could even touch Ye Chen's hand, it was forcibly suppressed by an even stronger force.
Although it was an ancient weapon, it was still just an inanimate object. Facing Ye Chen, a half-step Heavenly Supreme, it naturally couldn't cause any trouble.
Of course, the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar was just something I took along the way; my main target was the White Dragon Spirit Pearl, because that was where the White Dragon Venerable's soul resided...
Looking at the bead in front of him, Ye Chen easily broke through the restriction on it, and then saw the scene that Mu Chen had seen in the original story: some scenes of the Blood Fiend Clan invading the White Dragon Continent...
Compared to Mu Chen in the original work, who had not yet experienced true cruelty, these scenes, though tragic, could not affect Ye Chen, because he had seen even more tragic scenes.
Gazing at the enormous white dragon soaring through the sky, Ye Chen probed into it with his divine sense and said indifferently with an irresistible power, "Tell me the location of this place, and I will save your world!"
At this moment, the remnant soul of the White Dragon Supreme was still in a state of chaos. When he heard this voice that sounded like that of a god, he left the coordinates of his home plane without any hesitation.
