Shen Wuyan looked at the young man with a naive face and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha, new talents emerge in every generation! Ye Chen, you, as a descendant, have the potential to ascend to the Immortal Realm!"
Ye Que was already confused when this strange middle-aged man grabbed his wrist. When he saw the man laughing loudly and carelessly, he was even more at a loss.
Ye Chen, who was standing to the side, saw through Ye Que's thoughts and said with a faint smile, "Little Que, this is Shen Wuyan, the temple master of the human race's temple, and also my master!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Que immediately understood the significance of the person before him and quickly addressed Shen Wuyan respectfully.
"Young Ye Que, please forgive me for not recognizing the name of the Temple Master before."
Shen Wuyan waved his hand slightly, and with a gentle force, straightened Ye Que's slightly bent back again.
He looked at Ye Que and grew to like him more and more. The latter was just like Ye Chen, so polite and talented. In fact, the little guy's talent was even better than his disciple's.
Seeing that everything was alright, Ye Chen glanced at Elder Wei, whose aura was wavering, and went over to him, handing him a pill to regulate his aura. After the latter took it...
With a wave of his hand, Ye Chen lifted up Ye Que, Elder Wei, and the unconscious leader of the secret guards.
Led by Ye Chen, they headed towards the Star God Temple.
What Ye Chen didn't know was...
A few minutes after they left, a strangely shaped figure appeared at the spot. This person had deer antlers, bull eyes, and a face covered with a beard, looking like a bizarre combination!
If other people came, they would definitely shout that something was wrong.
Because this person is the Third Elder of the Harmony Temple: Ku Zhen!
The Temple of Harmony differs from other temples. Other temples primarily utilize the power inherited from ancient times for cultivation and further develop and expand upon it. This is true of both the Temple of Stars and the Temple of Darkness.
The Temple of Harmony is an exception; it likes to engage in all sorts of chaotic fusions, and it also has a set of rituals passed down from ancient times.
It is possible to extract the bloodline or body parts of humans, beastmen, and other races, transfer them to them, and thereby obtain unprecedented power.
Of course, this kind of grafting-like ritual has a low success rate, but once successful, the improvement in strength is very obvious, often leading to a significant advancement in one's realm.
For example, Elder Kuzhen currently possesses the strength of an early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.
A year ago, he was only at the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm. After grafting the antlers of a Nine Netherworld Divine Deer and the eyes of a Sky-Soaring Mad Bull onto his body, he was still in the early stages of the Golden Immortal realm.
This Third Elder immediately advanced a major realm, joining the ranks of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
At this moment, he was wearing a long black robe, so his body below the neck could not be seen.
"The divine child of the Star Temple? Interesting. I haven't smelled this bloodline power in a long time."
Elder Kuzhen no longer hesitated and chased after Ye Chen in the direction he had gone. His destination was none other than the Star God Temple.
...
Within the endless sea of stars.
A magnificent palace stands there, the solemn and majestic Temple of Stars.
But the atmosphere inside the temple was unusually cold and gloomy.
Palace Master Chen Jian looked at Elder Wei and Ye Que kneeling on the ground, his eyes blazing with fury.
After Ye Chen and his companions arrived at the Star God Temple, Ye Que immediately told the temple master about everything that had happened along the way, even though he knew that doing so would incur the temple master's wrath and condemnation.
However, one should bear the consequences of one's own actions. The mistakes Ye Que made should not be borne by Elder Wei alone.
Chen Jian looked at Elder Wei, who was trembling all over, and said calmly.
"Elder Wei, the Starry Sky Temple grants you elders the right to free entry and exit, but not for you to use it like this."
"Fortunately, this time, we had Fellow Daoist Ye Chen's help. Otherwise, what would you use to compensate us!"
As Chen Jian spoke, his words became increasingly hurried, which made Ye Chen, who was waiting nearby, feel uneasy.
He took the initiative to smooth things over.
“Palace Master Chenjian, Elder Wei is responsible for this incident, and Xiao Que is also responsible. If this child hadn’t been greedy and wanted to go out, this situation probably wouldn’t have happened.”
"Please, Lord Palace Master, give the two of them a chance."
“Yes,” said the Human Temple Master, Shen Wuyan, who also joined the army of persuasion.
"Palace Master Chenjian, both of them were at fault in this matter, but Elder Wei was willing to self-destruct in the end to resolve the crisis. Such sincerity is rare even among our human race."
"Ye Que has also stated that if there is nothing major going on, he will stay in the Star God Palace until he has the strength to protect himself before going out to train. I hope that the Hall Master of Chenjian Palace can be magnanimous and handle this charitably."
When the Lord of Chenjian Palace saw that Ye Chen and Shen Wuyan had both spoken, he thought of tomorrow, which was the auspicious day for the investiture of the divine son and daughter.
He was unwilling to punish the audacious old man and young man at this crucial moment.
"Get up, all of you. This time, with your saviors and the Temple Master of the Human Race Temple personally pleading for you, we'll let this matter drop for now. But if it happens again, I will not let you off lightly."
Elder Wei and Ye Que hurriedly thanked the Palace Master for his pardon. Ye Chen, seeing that the matter had a good outcome, pointed to a figure on the ground.
"Palace Master Chenjian, should we try to get something out of this guy?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jian looked at the figure of the leader of the Dark Guards and said with a faint smile, "Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Ye Chen."
Ye Chen laughed heartily, waved his hand, and a beam of light immediately shot out from between the eyebrows of the leader of the dark guards, eventually merging into Ye Chen's body.
After the light left his body, the leader of the guards regained consciousness. He opened his eyes groggily, and after seeing everything around him, he froze on the spot.
Ye Que and Elder Wei, whom he wanted to kill, were not far away, but these two people were completely different from before, even his eyes were different.
Instead, she looked at him with a mocking gaze.
The leader of the secret guards swallowed hard, looked around, and gasped when he saw the faces of the people around him.
Ye Chen, Shen Wuyan, Chen Jian!
Each of these three individuals is a hegemon in the Zhongtian Star Region, someone he, a mere True Immortal, could not possibly touch.
His first instinct was to get up and flee the hall. If he could escape, he would have a chance to survive; if he couldn't, he would have to take his own life.
Just as the leader stood up, an extreme pressure descended from the sky, forcibly pressing the guard to the ground.
He made intimate contact with the ground and couldn't even lift his head.
He glanced at the fleeting stars around him and knew very well that it was Chen Jian, the master of the Star Temple, who had made his move against him.
