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

Ye Chen was startled by its sudden appearance, but after hearing its question, he quickly regained his senses and his mind raced.

"Human, answer my question!" Seemingly a little impatient, the rabbit urged in a more forceful tone.

"Uh, well, starlight fell when I was born, so my spark was also innate..."

Ye Chen answered honestly.

The mysterious rabbit stared at him intently for a while, and after confirming that he wasn't lying, a look of hesitation appeared in its eyes...

After a long while, it turned its gaze to Ye Chen again and said directly, "Is that so? Then come with me, I have an opportunity for you."

"Varied……"

Just as Ye Chen was about to ask a question, the domineering rabbit in front of him didn't give him a chance to speak. It directly used its powerful soul force to bind Ye Chen and then carried him towards the depths of the valley.

Hu Tian, ​​who was below, was shocked and raised his hand to stop him, but Ye Chen stopped him in time with a look.

Based on the rabbit's demonstrated strength, the two of them were completely powerless to resist. Moreover, it seemed that killing them wouldn't be too difficult for the rabbit.

In that case, let's see what this guy is up to...

A moment later, the mysterious rabbit led Ye Chen to the deepest part of the valley. However, to Ye Chen's surprise, there seemed to be nothing special here, except for a huge silver stone that looked quite round, as if it had been handled for thousands of years.

Just as Ye Chen's gaze was drawn to the smooth, silver boulder, his body suddenly lost its support and fell directly to the ground beside it...

If Ye Chen hadn't adjusted his landing posture in time, he probably would have really landed like a wild goose falling from the sand, which would have been incredibly embarrassing.

"You damn rabbit, you just wait..."

He cursed inwardly

Ye Chen's expression was extremely respectful as he looked at the rabbit hovering above him and asked, "I don't know, sir, what do you want me to do here?"

The rabbit didn't care about Ye Chen's attitude. It raised its little front paws and scratched its ears, then pointed to the silver boulder on the ground and said, "Go in!"

"Uh, what?" Ye Chen was completely bewildered.

"I said, go inside! Or I'll kill you!" The rabbit was clearly impatient and snapped.

Ye Chen looked at the huge rock in front of him without a single crack, blinked, and wondered what this damn rabbit was up to!

Although he was filled with resentment, under the threat of death, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and walk to the boulder. He raised his hand and touched the cold stone surface, trying to see if there was any mechanism.

Clearly, the truth is that he was overthinking it.

This boulder was a single, solid rock. Although I didn't know what it was made of, judging from the fact that it could withstand my full-force punch without leaving a single mark, this rock was definitely very hard!

"Damn it! Am I supposed to crawl in there?" Ye Chen thought to himself again.

However, seeing the increasingly dangerous look in the dead rabbit's eyes above his head, Ye Chen finally decided to give it another try...

"Right, it seems that this rabbit mentioned something about the power of stars before..." Ye Chen's eyes lit up as he suddenly recalled what the dead rabbit had said when it abruptly stopped attacking him.

"Could it be that this boulder is reacting to the power of the stars?"

Thinking of this, Ye Chen's consciousness immediately entered the depths of his soul, where he saw the enormous starry dragon in his soul space...

The Star Chart is a unique entity entirely constructed from one's own soul and star power, and it is Ye Chen's greatest reliance in this world!

Manipulating his own consciousness, Ye Chen traversed the boundless starry sky deep within his soul and arrived at the five major star palaces of the Dragon Head Starfield, which had already been illuminated.

"Our lives or our deaths hinge on this!"

With his eyes closed, Ye Chen placed his hands on the surface of the silver boulder and began to mobilize the power of the star spirit within the Bright Star Palace...

hum...

A surge of energy emanated from Ye Chen's forehead.

Then, the ripples seemed to react with the boulder in front of him; the once indestructible surface of the boulder turned into ripples like those on water...

Caught off guard, Ye Chen tripped and fell forward, then disappeared into the boulder!

In the air, the mysterious rabbit, witnessing this scene, revealed a visibly joyful expression on its face, muttering, "Finally...! Old man, the person you were talking about has finally appeared!"

"How many years has it been! You lied to me back then, saying that you would give me my freedom as long as someone who could inherit your mantle appeared..."

But this wait has lasted tens of thousands of years! You've almost killed me!

Fortunately, it didn't rashly kill the human boy, otherwise it doesn't know how many more years it would have been trapped in this remote corner!

"Kid, I hope you can win that old man's approval. I haven't been home for a very, very long time..."

Muttering to itself, the mysterious rabbit raised its head, its gaze seemingly piercing through the thick fog high in the sky, passing through the world barrier covering the Dou Qi Continent, and arriving at the pitch-black ancient starry sky.

Chapter Seventy-Three: Inheritance

He plunged headfirst into the silver boulder, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Chen felt as if he had arrived in the boundless starry sky.

Everything around was pitch black and quiet, with only a few stars twinkling overhead, which only made one feel more lonely.

"Why does this feel so similar to my Star Essence Map space..." Ye Chen looked around at everything, and the inexplicable sense of familiarity made him frown.

At this moment, he truly seemed to be in the starry sky, with only the faint starlight enveloping his body, giving people a cool and refreshing feeling.

With a slight raise of his hand, Ye Chen was astonished to find that what should have been merely invisible and intangible light was now being grasped in his hand as if it were a tangible substance…

The surface was icy cold to the touch, and a chill ran through his body from his palm, causing Ye Chen's eyes to narrow slightly: "This is... the light of the stars?"

At this moment, Ye Chen was very doubtful whether he had entered the dimensional space inside that giant rock, or if it was just the entrance to a teleportation portal, and that he had truly arrived in the ancient starry sky above the Dou Qi Continent...

"This place must be more than just a place with abundant stellar power... But calling it a true primordial star space is a bit of an exaggeration." Ye Chen pondered to himself as he looked at the surrounding darkness.

Based on this, the silver boulder outside is likely an ancient star from the cosmos that fell here and formed this special space.

This kind of thing is not unusual. For example, the Starfall Pavilion established by Yao Lao was built in the inner space of a meteorite land.

However, the silver boulder in this Misty Valley seems to be even more special than the Starfall Pavilion headquarters.

After carefully observing the environment, Ye Chen couldn't help but shake his head, feeling somewhat regretful. He said, "Although this space is rich in star energy, the overall energy of heaven and earth is extremely scarce, only about one-tenth of that on the Dou Qi Continent. It's probably impossible to cultivate Dou Qi here..."

He had originally thought that he could pass down this space as a secret place for the Ye family, so that the family could have another trump card.

Unfortunately, apart from helping oneself to quickly condense star essence due to star power, this thing is completely useless to outsiders, which is a bit of a waste.

After walking for another half hour, Ye Chen was speechless as he looked around at the same monotonous environment that hadn't changed at all.

"Seriously? All this secrecy, with that terrifying rabbit guarding it, and in the end there's nothing? Are you kidding me?!"

Perhaps sensing Ye Chen's dissatisfaction, one of the stars that was originally twinkling in the sky suddenly shone brightly, expanding dozens of times in size, as if it were about to transform into a small sun...

The sudden change surprised Ye Chen, and he couldn't help but turn his gaze to the mutated star.

Before long, the mutated star finally stopped changing, but it had transformed from a tiny star into a bright moon.

A cold beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, instantly enveloping Ye Chen's entire body...

The instant Ye Chen was enveloped by the beam of light, he felt an icy chill that pierced his very bones and swept over his entire body, as if it were about to freeze his whole being and even his soul.

Instinctively, Ye Chen immediately mobilized the starfire within his body, which emerged and transformed into a protective shield covering his entire body...

& nbs

The originally biting cold light, upon contact with the starlight, seemed to possess intelligence and restrained its malice, then entered Ye Chen's body, giving him a cool and refreshing sensation.

"This is...?" Ye Chen was very surprised.

If he hadn't been protected by his own starlight, he would probably have melted into a puddle of mud within this pillar of starlight.

"It seems this is the same condition as when we first entered this place; we need to possess star power to gain acceptance here..."

Although these conditions seem quite simple, it is precisely because Ye Chen possesses the Star Chart and the innate Starfire.

If it were any ordinary expert from the Central Plains, they probably wouldn't even be able to get past that dead rabbit outside!

"So, have I passed the test?" Ye Chen murmured softly, looking up at the starlight that enveloped him.

Generally speaking, this should be the legacy left behind by some ancient powerful being.

If I can pass the test left by the other party, I should be able to obtain some considerable benefits...

Ye Chen waited patiently, a sense of curiosity also swirling in his heart.

"I wonder which powerful figure left this relic. Judging from the appearance, it should at least be left by a supreme powerhouse like the Yellow Spring Demon Saint or the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, who are the strongest below the Dou Di level, right?"

"However, even if a powerhouse of this level has perished, there's a high chance that a remnant soul will remain. I just don't know if the other party is benevolent towards me..."

If he only wants to find a successor, that's fine. But if he wants to find a suitable body to possess for rebirth, then things will really get complicated.

It seems that some powerful lineages in the original work leave behind similar dangers...

However, what happened next was clearly beyond Ye Chen's expectations once again, because the legacy left behind by this "great power" appeared quietly in front of him, without any danger such as "possession of a remnant soul" or "bloodthirsty skeleton".

"You're... not playing by the rules."

Ye Chen said speechlessly.

At this moment, within the pillar of light that descended from the sky, a storage ring shimmering with a silver star emblem floated before him, quietly awaiting his acceptance...

With just a gentle lift of his hand, without any danger, the storage ring representing inheritance fell directly into Ye Chen's hands.

Unlike ordinary storage rings, this storage ring seems to require the condensation of pure star power and soul power to recognize its owner.

This was no challenge for Ye Chen, of course. Just like when he entered the silver boulder, he directly mobilized the purest star power from the Star Chart and easily opened the storage ring, allowing it to re-acknowledge its owner...

After taking stock of everything inside, even Ye Chen, with his composure, couldn't help but feel his heart pounding!

It's not because there's some gold or silver here; on the contrary, in terms of items alone, the things here seem rather rudimentary compared to the inheritances of many supreme-level powerhouses, because there are only a few items in total...

Even with just these few items, Ye Chen was certain that if any one of them appeared on the Central Continent, it would cause a huge sensation! Even those ancient races that considered themselves superior wouldn't be able to resist their allure…

Chapter 74 Ye Chen Gritting His Teeth

Ye Chen looked at the Star Emblem Storage Ring in his hand and found that it was significantly different from the storage rings on the Dou Qi Continent, even though both were used for storing items.

First of all, the internal space of this Star Emblem Storage Ring is incomparable to that of ordinary storage rings on the Dou Qi Continent. Even the high-level storage rings that Ye Chen is currently using, such as the Nether Sea Storage Ring that Xiao Yan obtained from Han Feng in the original novel and the Bone Flame Ring of Yao Lao, are far inferior to this Star Emblem Storage Ring in terms of internal space.

Ye Chen roughly calculated that the space inside the Star Emblem Storage Ring was about ten thousand meters in diameter. If it wasn't just for storage, it could easily be considered an independent little world.

After observing for a while, Ye Chen suddenly waved his hand, and a huge silver cauldron suddenly appeared in front of him.

As an alchemist, besides the Strange Flame Ranking, another very attractive ranking for Ye Chen is the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking!

The so-called Heavenly Cauldron Ranking refers to the gathering place of all high-quality medicinal cauldrons. There are thirteen medicinal cauldrons on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking, all of which were forged by the continent's top weapon refiners through long-term forging with various rare materials.

Like the strange flames on the Strange Flame Ranking, every medicine cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking possesses a magical power that makes countless alchemists flock to it.

In the original novel, four different types of medicine cauldrons appeared out of the thirteen on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking. Yao Lao's Black Demon Cauldron ranked eighth, while the opposing Saintly Radiance Cauldron ranked seventh. As for Han Feng's Myriad Beasts Cauldron and the Mountain Melting Cauldron of Burning Flame Valley, no specific ranking was given.

Although Ye Chen in this life was born into the Ye family of the Pill Domain, he was not very familiar with all thirteen medicine cauldrons ranked on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking. He had only heard by chance that, according to legend, when the Pill Tower was first established, the strongest person in the Pill Tower seemed to have one of them, and it was ranked quite high...

It should be noted that this supreme expert of the Pill Tower was a terrifying existence at the late stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, and was also one of the five supreme experts of ancient times.

Unfortunately, with the disappearance of this supreme expert, the medicine cauldron also vanished without a trace.

After all, most of these medicine cauldrons are naturally formed divine objects, just like Yao Chen's Black Demon Cauldron, which was born from the struggle and impact between the two origins of light and darkness, and is a naturally formed dark divine object.

Divine objects choose their masters, so when Yao Chen obtained the Black Demon Cauldron, it wasn't that he obtained it himself, but rather that the Black Demon Cauldron actively recognized him as its master. This part of the plot is also described in the side story of Yao Chen's legend in Battle Through the Heavens.

As for the silver medicine cauldron in front of Ye Chen, it ranks even higher than the Black Demon Cauldron and the Holy Radiance Cauldron. It is said to have been evolved from the primordial essence of ancient stars by an ancient powerhouse, belonging to one of the three gods of the sun, moon, and stars—extremely powerful!

However, as mentioned earlier, divine objects like this Star Cauldron can only automatically recognize their master after gaining their approval. If Ye Chen tries to forcibly subdue it, he probably won't succeed in his current state.

Therefore, at this moment, Ye Chen looked at the medicine cauldron in front of him, and there was nothing he could do but wait and see if the other party was willing to accept him...

I wonder if it's because the Star Cauldron has been trapped in the storage ring for too long, and it's time for it to be born...

The enormous medicine cauldron, originally ten feet in size, rapidly spun and shrank until it was only the size of a fist. It then imprinted itself into Ye Chen's body and instantly merged into his soul. Ye Chen didn't even have a chance to refuse; he felt a dizzying sensation as if a divine object had hit him on the head.

"This is really..." Ye Chen touched his forehead and could only smile wryly. "This can be considered a soul binding, it's quite advanced."

It seems this Star Cauldron is quite aloof...

However, such a

The divine medicine cauldron, ranked fourth on the Heavenly Cauldron List, is not only useful for Ye Chen in refining medicine, but it is also extremely terrifying in combat.

Putting everything else aside, just the simple act of manipulating this guy to grow bigger and smash people would probably be enough to make even a Dou Huang powerhouse not dare to take a blow from his own cauldron!

Having obtained the recognition of this most powerful medicinal cauldron known in the entire continent, Ye Chen was in high spirits and then began to examine the following items...

Ultimately, this is still the legacy left behind by a former supreme expert, so the most important thing is the inheritance of the cultivation technique...

Although Ye Chen was born into the Ye family and had no shortage of high-level cultivation techniques, compared to those top-tier inheritances, the Ye family's techniques were simply not worth mentioning!
