Nine Astra Skies

What a powerful aura!

Ye Chen's heart trembled. He could sense that there was something terrifying hidden in the depths of netherworld Palace. His astral body felt an inexplicable shiver. He looked into the depths of netherworld Palace and saw a dark Mass. There seemed to be a faint trace of blood light, making it difficult to see clearly.

Even though his spirit had already reached the level of a Demon King, after sensing the terrifying aura in the depths of the netherworld Palace, he did not dare to continue probing and quickly avoided the netherworld Palace.

He did not know what was hidden in netherworld Palace. It was probably not something he could come into contact with at his current level. When he thought of the fine wine he had brought from netherworld Palace, ye chen wondered if he should give Master Lion some to Taste and Tell him what was in netherworld Palace.

His astral body extended to other places. Mystical beasts and celestial beasts appeared in the mountains and forests. After sensing ye Chen's astral pressure, they immediately trembled and did not dare to move.

This was the aura of a daemon King!

Ye Chen's astral body swept through the mountains and forests. He discovered that there were many mystical beasts and celestial beasts living in the mountains.

Every mystical beast and celestial beast clan that lived together had one or more of their most powerful existences. However, in these mystical beast and celestial beast clans, the most powerful leader was usually only at the heavenly adept or celestial adept rank.

The Demon King was indeed very rare!

As the divine soul passed through the human race, a strong aura from a small village in the mountains caught his attention. It was a godly venerable rank master!

The godly spirit reached out to the godly venerable rank master and found that it was a quiet mountain village with a population of only a few hundred. The godly venerable rank master was wearing tattered clothes and forging iron with an iron hammer in his hand.

This godly venerable rank expert had the appearance of a middle-aged man. His entire body was covered in firm muscles and was covered in scars that looked extremely hideous. It looked as if he had been burned by a soldering iron. This godly venerable rank expert was actually a blacksmith!

Sensing ye Chen's astral body passing by, the godly venerable rank master frowned slightly and looked up at the sky.

"I wonder which Demon King is here? The wolf King from the wolven Kingdom or The Leo King from The Leo king's palace?" The godly venerable rank master was extremely calm as he spoke. Divine light flickered in his eyes, and one could vaguely feel the demeanor of a godly venerable rank master.

"I'm not the wolf King or The Lion King. I'm a disciple of the ye family from Donglin County. I've cultivated a psyche that's similar to that of a daemon King and found out where you are. Please forgive me if I've offended you in any way." Ye chen did not have the arrogance of a daemon King. Instead, he spoke in the tone of a junior.

A godly venerable rank combatant living in seclusion in this small mountain village must have his own difficulties. Although ye Chen's strength was above this person's, he would not provoke an enemy.

"Oh? It's very rare for a human to cultivate a psyche." The godly venerable rank master smiled. Seeing that ye chen was not hostile and had taken the initiative to report his background, he let down his guard slightly. my name is di Xiong. I'm just a blacksmith.

"This junior is somewhat curious, why is senior living in seclusion here?" Ye chen asked.

"There are many troubles in the secular world. I'm living in seclusion here just to enjoy some peace and quiet." Di Xiong smiled.

"I see." Ye chen saw that di Xiong did not want to say more and did not continue asking. After all, this might involve someone else's privacy. it's fate that I'm able to meet senior here.

When he heard the word 'fate', di Xiong laughed. Ye chen had cultivated a psyche that was not inferior to a daemon King's. A daemon King's psyche could extend for a thousand miles. It was normal for it to detect his location. This probably had nothing to do with fate.

"Young man, where are you now?" Di Xiong asked as he struck the iron.

There seemed to be a strange rhythm to di Xiong's smithing frequency. It was sometimes slow and sometimes fast. Just his smithing technique alone was different from the rest. Ye chen was amazed.

"I'm currently in Donglin County!"

"Donglin County is about 1500 to 1600 miles away from here. Young man, your psyche is not simple. Even a peak daemon King rank fighter can only extend their astral body to an area of about 1000 miles." Di Xiong said, slightly startled.

"Senior is too kind."

"From your tone, you should be quite young. To have such achievements at such a young age, your future is bound to be limitless. I've heard that there's a rising power in the vicinity of Donglin County. I think it's called the star temple. Is it related to you?"

"Junior is the star Hall Master." Ye chen said. There was no need to hide this. He paid attention to di Xiong's expression.

After hearing ye Chen's words, di Xiong's expression changed slightly.

"Senior's injuries are terrible." Ye chen wanted to say something but stopped. How could a godly venerable rank master hurt himself while forging? The wound was so hideous that it should have been caused by a strong enemy.

young man, the injuries on my body are internal and can't be treated at all. However, I do have a blacksmithing skill. If you need it, I can help you forge one or two good spirit treasures. Di Xiong lightly smiled.

"Senior, what do you need me to do?" Ye chen asked.

"I don't need you to do anything for the time being. You owe me a favor. If your Star Hall becomes stronger, I need you to do something for me. Of course, I won't make it too difficult for you. If your Star Hall falls, just pretend that I didn't say anything." Di Xiong said.

"Senior, what grade of spirit treasure can you forge?" Ye chen raised his eyebrows and asked.

there shouldn't be a problem with a human-grade one. I might even be able to forge an earth-grade one. It's a pity that my cultivation level is no longer the same as it was back then. Otherwise, I could still forge a heaven-grade spiritual treasure. Di Xiong said with a slightly desolate smile.

Di Xiong was a little dispirited. Ye chen suddenly had a feeling that di Xiong was not just in his forties as he looked. He must have lived for a long time. Ye chen wondered what kind of technique he used to preserve his youth. Besides, di Xiong said that his cultivation base was not as good as it used to be but he was still at the peak of godly venerable rank. Did that not mean that di Xiong was at least a boundless stage powerhouse in the past?

It seemed that di Xiong had been injured and his cultivation had fallen. He had hidden here to avoid his enemies. He wondered what level his enemies were.

"It's a pity that the injuries on my body caused my cultivation to drop a few realms. I'd like to find a few disciples, but unfortunately, there aren't many talented ones in this small mountain village. Young man, is there anyone under your Star Hall who would like to learn blacksmithing from me?" Di Xiong said as he continued to forge.

When ye chen heard this, he was overjoyed and said, " "I can send more Star Hall disciples over for senior to choose." He would have ye Meng, his second brother, and ye ping find some loyal and reliable Star Hall disciples to Meet di Xiong and see who would be lucky enough to be accepted as his disciple.

"En, I happen to have a broken Artifact Spirit here. Bring me some metal, and I'll help you forge a weapon for free."

"Many thanks, senior!"

Ye chen immediately thought of the ore he had found in the heaven-earth pouch of Sikou Fengyan from the Nanman Kingdom. Although he did not know what kind of ore it was, even a full-force attack from Little wing's daemon King rank could not leave a mark on the ore. It was clear that this ore was extraordinary. It was probably not inferior to Twilight Gold.

"I'll come and disturb you when I'm done with the arrangements, senior." Ye chen quickly retracted his psyche.

After ye chen recalled his psyche, di Xiong was still forging. He looked up into the sky. He had been enduring silently in this small mountain village for many years. He wondered if ye chen, this young man who had formed his psyche, could bring him some opportunities and changes. He was usually indifferent and no different from an ordinary blacksmith. However, at this moment, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect that such an extraordinary person would exist in such a small mountain village. He wondered if there were other experts in the surrounding areas.

Ye Chen's astral body swept through the mountains but did not find any strange people. Instead, he found a strange secret place. In the deep mountains and old forests, there was a barren swamp that was hundreds of miles wide and shrouded in black fog. Ye Chen's astral body could not penetrate the black fog. The periphery of the black fog was filled with corpses, most of which were mystical beasts. There were fewer human skeletons, so it was clear that this place was deserted.

A powerful mystical beast's aura seeped faintly from the black mist. Even ye Chen's astral body trembled from the aura.

Who knew what kind of fearsome demonic beasts lived in this deep and desolate swamp?

Outside the desolate swamp, someone had erected a stone tablet. The stone tablet was already very broken and covered in moss. A few ancient words could be vaguely seen. They seemed to be the words "poison cloud demon swamp."

Suddenly, ye chen noticed that there were a few pitch-black Spirit beasts roaming around the periphery of the toxic cloud demonic swamp. They tried to enter the toxic cloud demonic swamp but immediately let out shrill cries as their flesh and blood melted rapidly, leaving behind only a few skeletons.

This poisonous fog was so powerful that it could directly melt the soul beasts. No wonder the nearby demonic beasts stayed far away from the poisonous cloud demonic swamp. Only these newly arrived soul beasts were fearless and dared to enter the desolate swamp.

Why were there soul beasts everywhere!

The sense of danger in ye Chen's heart grew even stronger. He had a bad feeling. His astral body swept across the toxic cloud demonic swamp and passed by a dense forest near it. In the dense forest, there seemed to be traces of some living creatures and some ancient stone altars.

Suddenly, a low shout was heard.

who dares to invade the Holy Land of my Pearl spirit Snake Clan?!

Five psyches that were not inferior to peak daemon King rank surged toward ye chen with murderous intent.

this place is actually a place where celestial beasts live. I wonder what kind of race this black shell spirit snake is to have so many celestial beast daemon Kings! Ye chen was shocked. Such a force was probably not inferior to the wolven Kingdom. Why was it not famous?

"This one has unintentionally barged in and did not mean to offend you!" Ye chen could feel that after the five peak daemon King rank psyches formed a single beam and charged at him, his astral body was retreating step by step and could not resist.
