Chapter 1630: Chapter 808: Re-entering Hunyuan Immortal City_4

Chen Mobai directly gave an order to Green Pearl, causing her expression to shift slightly upon hearing it.

Just as she was considering how to reject him, the teleportation array behind Chen Mobai suddenly lit up brightly.

In the blink of an eye!

Zhou Shengqing stepped out.

“No matter how long it’s been, the aura here always feels so familiar.”

Stepping out of the teleportation array, Zhou Shengqing took a deep breath. This was the place where he had grown up—all of his most cherished memories from his younger years were rooted here.

“Hmm, why didn’t Zhou Ye come along?”

Zhou Shengqing quickly noticed Chen Mobai standing there alone, with no sign of Zhou Ye, and couldn’t help asking curiously.

“He said he’s in seclusion. Judging by the time, his Primordial True Qi should be nearly perfected by now.”

Chen Mobai replied casually.

“Oh, I almost forgot that this junior brother of ours is cultivating the Primordial Dao Fruit. It seems he’s been diligently practicing over the years.”

Zhou Shengqing said with a hint of mockery in his tone.

Green Pearl heard this and felt indignant, but she could only lower her head. Faced with these two, she knew she was entirely unqualified to speak to them as an equal.

Just then, the teleportation array radiated light again.

Soon after, Nu Jiang, Sheng Zhaoxi, and Mo Douguang emerged one after another.

Seeing this, Green Pearl clenched her teeth and crushed a talisman hidden in her sleeve.

All five of them coming to Hunyuan Immortal City must mean something major.

She could only call Zhou Ye to handle it.

“Is he really in seclusion right now?”

At that moment, Chen Mobai used Echoes in the Void to listen to Hunyuan Immortal City’s Spirit Veins and quickly sensed the presence of a powerful and natural energy pulse emanating from the heart of the vein.

“Nephew Green Pearl, you can’t fetch that Jade Pendant? Then it seems we’ll have to retrieve it ourselves.”

Seeing Green Pearl lower her head and remain silent, Chen Mobai shook his head and then summoned the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo. Together with Zhou Shengqing and the others, he headed toward Zhou Ye’s secluded retreat.

“Sect Leader, honored elders—Master truly is in seclusion.”

Green Pearl said imploringly, her voice tinged with pity when she saw what had transpired.

In her heart, Chen Mobai and the others arriving in such grandiose fashion clearly indicated an intention to deal with Zhou Ye.

“It’s not like he’s breaking through to a higher Realm; interrupting seclusion won’t kill him.”

Chen Mobai said nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Green Pearl nearly ground her teeth to dust.

But as a mere Foundation Establishment Practitioner, she was utterly powerless to stop Chen Mobai and the others.

How could they not fear the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder?

Watching their figures flying away on a Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud, Green Pearl couldn’t help but wonder.

Upon arriving at the Spirit Vein’s core in Hunyuan Immortal City—where the entrance to Yiyuan Mijing lay—Chen Mobai hadn’t even landed when an overwhelming surge of Spiritual Power erupted.

Accompanied by an earthen-yellow Spiritual Light, Zhou Ye appeared with a solemn expression.

The Five Elements Spiritual Power within him appeared turbulent, undoubtedly due to forcing himself out of seclusion before his Primordial True Qi had fully stabilized.

“Several senior and junior brothers have come, and yet no one thought to notify me in advance. I could have prepared a few dishes and brewed some fine tea.”

Seeing Chen Mobai leading the group on the Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud, Zhou Ye kept his tone calm, clearly unwilling to escalate matters prematurely.

“Senior Brother Zhou and the others wish to visit Yiyuan Mijing to pay respects to Grandmaster True Lord Yuan. I also plan to transplant the Five Elements Spirit Tree into my Domain, so we’ve come together for a look.”

Chen Mobai’s words caused Zhou Ye’s eyes to widen in disbelief.

“Junior Brother Chen, you must be joking.”

Pay respects to True Lord Yuan? If you want to claim the inheritance, just say so.

And transplant the Five Elements Spirit Tree? Do you truly think I’ll take that lying down?

With his Primordial True Qi nearing perfection and his confidence in achieving Nascent Soul Formation growing steadily, Zhou Ye had long treated both Yiyuan Mijing and the Five Elements Spirit Tree as critical resources for cultivating his Primordial Dao Fruit.

How could he allow Chen Mobai to plunder them right in front of him?

“I never joke.”

Chen Mobai responded with a smile.

“Heh! Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to ignite the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder?”

Zhou Ye realized the intruders came ill-intentioned; the arrival of five people clearly signaled their intent to force his compliance.

But he knew even more firmly that the Five Elements Spirit Tree was the bedrock of his future breakthrough.

For Nascent Soul Formation, he had sacrificed his reputation, abandoned the Five Elements Sect, and forsaken nearly all external distractions.

But the Yiyuan Secret Realm? The Five Elements Spirit Tree? These he would never, and could never, relinquish!

Today, he would show them—show everyone—what his unyielding boundary truly meant!

With a movement of his Divine Sense, Zhou Ye’s organs began to glow with vibrant five-colored radiance, awakening the Spirit Veins of Hunyuan Immortal City as if from slumber. Massive energy waves surged up from deep beneath the earth in an earth-shaking tremor.

“Don’t…”

Flying over just then, Green Pearl arrived belatedly, her weaker cultivation preventing her earlier intervention.

She witnessed Zhou Ye preparing to risk everything, and immediately called out in alarm.

Her words seemed to pull Zhou Ye back from the brink, his expression wavering as he briefly paused the prelude to unleashing the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder.

But Zhou Ye waited for a moment and saw no one among Chen Mobai’s group willing to step forward to mediate.

[Do they truly have no fear of my Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder?]

Zhou Ye began to feel somewhat embarrassed. He and Green Pearl had practiced a scenario of resistance against Chen Mobai’s coercion before. He’d threaten mutual destruction by demonstrating the terrifying potential of the Extinguishing Divine Thunder, while Green Pearl would intervene as a voice of reason, offering them a chance to retreat and resolve the situation.

He believed that, in the face of mortal danger, they would ultimately choose to compromise.

[They really don’t value their lives?]

Holding his maid in his arms and exaggerating the threat for nearly three minutes, Zhou Ye waited fruitlessly for them to yield and found himself growing increasingly baffled.

“Senior Brother, from what I’ve heard, this Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder is said to be Grandmaster Primordial’s most formidable spell. I’d very much like to witness it firsthand—perhaps I might even glean some insight on mastering it. Would you mind enlightening me?”

Finally, Chen Mobai broke the silence.

But his words only made Zhou Ye furious.

Alright, alright, using provocation now, are we?

Do you truly think I wouldn’t dare!

Enraged, Zhou Ye decided he’d act recklessly and drag all five of them down to Huangquan with him. If he was destined to die, he might as well take them along!

His internal Five Elements radiance intensified, now blazing brighter than ever. He drew forth a Flying Sword, preparing to end his own life and ignite the Chaotic Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder—until his gaze caught something astonishing. His eyes widened in disbelief: “Impossible!”

On the other side, atop the Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud, Chen Mobai casually raised his hand, releasing a massive burst of Primordial True Qi that coalesced into a gigantic five-colored sphere enveloping all five individuals within.

Witnessing this, Zhou Ye’s face filled with shock.

“Senior Brother Zhou, I’m ready. You may proceed!”

Standing on the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, Chen Mobai smiled breezily and spoke.
