Ye Chen eyed the dense mass of green light seals in front of Jiang Yao, instantly on guard.
He released his Divine Sense, enveloping the area within a thousand feet in its scope.
Jiang Yao said she was about to utilize her strongest method, a method that must certainly be extraordinary, and Ye Chen would not take it lightly.
After all, Jiang Yao hailed from the Minor Spirit Realm and had dominated millions of True Qi Realm warriors in the True Qi Realm competition, seizing first place and becoming the mightiest figure to guard the highest level of the Ancient God Tower!
Ye Chen naturally had to be cautious in his response!
Sure enough, once the one thousand green light seals had fully formed, Jiang Yao pinched a spell with her hands, and a flash of fiery red light burst forth from the light seals, causing them to vanish in an instant.
Subsequently, all around Ye Chen's body, dense green light seals suddenly emerged.
As these seals formed, Ye Chen felt as if the surrounding void was sealed off, trapping him within this expanse of Dharma Seals.
"Ye Chen, the 'Seven Leaves Heavenly Lock Array' I used before was merely an array to trap the enemy."
"Now, my 'Green Flame Burning Sky Formation' is a true killing array!"
"Even mid-stage warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm would be annihilated instantly if they fell into the array."
"However, Ye Chen, rest assured, as the Ancient God Tower serves as a tower of trials and won't take your life. But should you face a lethal crisis you cannot withstand, the tower will automatically transport you out."
"Ye Chen, my array is set, prepare to be transported out of the tower!"
As Jiang Yao's voice echoed, the sky around Ye Chen filled with green Dharma Seals connected by strange beams of light, and at that moment, a thousand green Dharma Seals were interlinked with weird beams.
At the instant the weird beams connected, a vast formation of Dharma Seals ignited with raging flames.
These flames were the "Burning Spirit True Fire" taken by Jiang Yao from the Flame God Pool in the mystic land of the Yan Clan in the Minor Spirit Realm. This True Fire could even incinerate high-grade Spiritual Artifacts, its power unmatched!
Watching Ye Chen ensnared in the Grand Formation of Dharma Seals, Jiang Yao believed that he could not withstand it.
This was Jiang Yao's true trump card, and she had absolute confidence in it.
As the Grand Formation of Dharma Seals burst into intense flames of Burning Spirit True Fire, Jiang Yao, gazing towards the center of the formation, let out a cry of disbelief.
Because she suddenly realized, Ye Chen had disappeared from inside the Grand Formation!
From setting up the array to activating the Burning Spirit True Fire within it, all happened in an instant. During that split second, Ye Chen had vanished without a trace.
This completely shocked Jiang Yao.
What Jiang Yao didn't know was that Ye Chen's Divine Sense had already covered a range of a thousand feet outside his body. The moment he saw the peculiar seals instantly appear around him, Ye Chen sensed something strangely similar to his own "Void Instantaneous Change" Divine Skill.
However, obviously, Jiang Yao's Dharma Seal Grand Formation was not as potent as the Void Instantaneous Change, it simply laid the formation within several hundred feet outside Ye Chen's body.
When he saw the Grand Formation ablaze, Ye Chen's Divine Sense stirred, instantly moving him outside of the formation.
With the "Void Instantaneous Change" Divine Skill, Ye Chen could instantly move anywhere within a thousand feet, so naturally, a Grand Formation spanning just several hundred feet could not contain him!
In Jiang Yao's incredulous gaze, Ye Chen appeared in the sky outside the Grand Formation of Dharma Seals.
As soon as Jiang Yao saw Ye Chen's figure reemerge, already out of the array, she pinched a spell, and green Dharma Seals in the void once again swooped toward Ye Chen.
But in the instant the green Dharma Seals vanished, Ye Chen disappeared again.
By the time Ye Chen reappeared, he was already behind Jiang Yao.
From the Flying Sword Palace between Ye Chen's brows, the "Crimson Fire" sword burst forth, shooting straight at Jiang Yao from behind!
Ye Chen not only evaded the annihilation of the array twice but also instantaneously moved behind Jiang Yao to counterattack!
When the "Crimson Fire" sword struck towards Jiang Yao's back, it was as if she had eyes there, the Green Leaf Spiritual Pattern between her brows flashed, and seven green leaves suddenly appeared behind her, blocking the sudden assault of the "Crimson Fire" sword.
Although she blocked the sword's assault, when Jiang Yao turned her delicate body and saw Ye Chen, her entire eyes were filled with disbelief: "Instantaneous Movement, Ye Chen, you've actually mastered Instantaneous Movement Divine Skills!"
As the princess of the Yan Clan of the Minor Spirit Realm and granddaughter of the Great Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan, Jiang Yao certainly knew of Instantaneous Movement Divine Skills.
However, such Divine Skills were usually only possible for Rotating Pill Realm warriors who could sense The Five Elements of Heaven and Earth or Heavenly Saint Realm warriors who cultivated Space Laws.
Jiang Yao had never seen such a Divine Skill on someone in the True Qi Realm!
Even among Spirit Sea Realm warriors, there was no one who could learn such a Divine Skill!
Now, with Ye Chen capable of Instantaneous Movement freely in space, it naturally shocked Jiang Yao immensely.
With Instantaneous Movement Divine Skills, no matter how powerful her "Green Flame Burning Sky Formation" was, she could not confine Ye Chen, and even less so when Ye Chen fully deployed his Instantaneous Movement Divine Skills, leaving Jiang Yao no chance to avoid his sudden assault.
After all, from their previous True Qi confrontation, Jiang Yao knew that Ye Chen's True Qi was in no way inferior to hers, and even Ye Chen's sword attack just now had not been made with his full strength.
What Jiang Yao didn't know was Ye Chen's "Instantaneous Movement" differed from those who cultivated Space Laws; it wasn't based on the perception of space to accomplish Instantaneous Movement.
Ye Chen's Instantaneous Movement was a unique Divine Skill from the Primordial Star Scripture's "Gang Yuan Chapter".
By inscribing Instantaneous Movement Law Patterns with his Divine Sense, Ye Chen could instantly shift to any location engulfed by his Divine Sense, and as his Divine Sense continued to grow, so too would the range of his Instantaneous Movement!
Having acquired "Gang Qi Transformation," the Gang Yuan True Qi within Ye Chen's Qi Sea surged wildly, endowing Ye Chen with enough Combat Power to match Princess Yan Ling'er!
With "Void Instantaneous Change" at his disposal, Ye Chen could instantly move within a radius of a thousand yards at will, giving him a means to surpass Yan Ling'er!
This was the reason why Ye Chen faced Princess Yan Ling'er again with boundless confidence.
Now, Ye Chen would no longer be trapped by Yan Ling'er, nor would he be defeated by her again!
In the sky, seeing Yan Ling'er's astonished expression, Ye Chen smiled at her, "Princess Yan Ling'er, would you care for another battle?"
Yan Ling'er's eyes gazed at Ye Chen, and finally, a wry smile appeared on her delicate face, "No need, Ye Chen, with your instantaneous movement technique, my Divine Sense Illusion at the True Qi Realm is definitely no match for you."
"Ye Chen, I admit defeat. You are truly too powerful, even in the Minor Spirit Realm, I have never seen a young man as miraculous as you!"
As she said this, Yan Ling'er's eyes shone brightly, "Now that you have defeated me, you've also conquered all challenges and guardians of the entire eighteen floors of the Ancient God Tower!"
"My grandfather once said that if anyone could break through all eighteen floors of the Ancient God Tower and cut their way through the entire Divine Tower, they would be eligible to cultivate in the ancient lands of the Yan Clan within the Minor Spirit Realm."
"Ye Chen, you have indeed cut through the Ancient God Tower!"
"Are you willing to join our Yan Clan and enter our ancient lands for cultivation?"
Yearning lit up in Yan Ling'er's eyes as she looked at Ye Chen, who was merely fifteen years old and already so powerful. If he truly were to cultivate in the Minor Spirit Realm, his future achievements would be immeasurable!
"Join the Yan Clan, enter the ancient lands?" Ye Chen was slightly startled.
Yan Ling'er giggled, "Although what's left in this Ancient God Tower is just a Divine Sense Illusion of mine from over three thousand years ago."
"Yet, my grandfather is the master of this Ancient God Tower, and I possess divine skills that can communicate with my true body in the Minor Spirit Realm. Right now, my true body is in the Minor Spirit Realm."
"If you're willing, I can even have my true body ask my grandfather to use the Great Void Shifting technique to directly transport you into the Minor Spirit Realm!"
Looking into Yan Ling'er's bright and sparkling eyes, Ye Chen felt somewhat tempted.
However, his thoughts immediately turned to his parents, to Jiang Yao who was waiting for him at the Taixuan Sect for the "Taimysterious Appointment," and to many other concerns he couldn't leave behind.
If he were to go to the Minor Spirit Realm, what would become of his parents, what about Jiang Yao?
"Princess Yan Ling'er, if I go to this Minor Spirit Realm you speak of, may I bring others with me?" asked Ye Chen.
"Others?" Yan Ling'er shook her head, "No, our Yan Clan cannot be casually entered by just anyone."
Seemingly considering Ye Chen's concerns, Yan Ling'er smiled again, "Ye Chen, you're worried about your parents, aren't you? Don't worry. Once you cultivate to the Heavenly Saint Realm within our Yan Clan, when the next three-thousand-year spatial rift opens, you can return to the Barbaric Wilderness Continent to see them."
"I can ask my grandfather to bestow Life Divine Pills upon your parents, extending their lifespan to over three thousand years!"
Yan Ling'er's words were indeed tempting, but Ye Chen shook his head.
If he were not in the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, and too far from his parents, even if they lived for three thousand years, they might still feel exceedingly lonely.
Besides, he was also concerned about Jiang Yao and his clansmen.
Many things prevented him from leaving the Barbaric Wilderness Continent so carefreely to directly venture into the Minor Spirit Realm.
"I cannot go to the Minor Spirit Realm right now, but I truly appreciate your kind offer, Princess Yan Ling'er," Ye Chen said with a smile.
Hearing that Ye Chen was not willing to cultivate in the ancient lands of the Yan Clan, Yan Ling'er let out a sigh.
However, she soon smiled again, "Actually, I was too hasty. Perhaps it isn't quite appropriate for you to go to the Minor Spirit Realm at this time."
"Within the Minor Spirit Realm, it is not as tranquil as the Barbarian Wilderness Continent. There are many Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses there. Although your talents are extraordinary, it would be far too dangerous for you in the Minor Spirit Realm."
"Even my true body, under my grandfather's protection, has faced several life-and-death crises."
"Perhaps, it would be better to wait until you are stronger before going to the Minor Spirit Realm."
Yan Ling'er's small face turned towards Ye Chen, speaking with a smile.
Indeed, the Minor Spirit Realm, being the Supreme Spiritual Realm of thirty-three continents including the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, was bound to be perilous.
Now, after enduring over a year of arduous cultivation in the Ancient God Tower, Ye Chen's strength had soared to a level where he could overpower mid-stage Spirit Sea Realm experts. Yet, there were still countless stronger individuals out there.
One careless step could lead to his demise.
It really wasn't quite suitable for him to venture into the Minor Spirit Realm at this time.
"Ye Chen, even if you don't go to the Minor Spirit Realm to cultivate in the ancient lands now, my grandfather's promise will always hold true," Yan Ling'er spoke up.
"I will now connect with my true body and grace you with the 'Ancient Token of the Yan Clan.' Whenever you wish to go to the Minor Spirit Realm, simply activate the ancient token, and my true body will know. At that time, she will bring you into the Minor Spirit Realm!"
As Yan Ling'er spoke, she descended to the ground and sat down cross-legged.
"Communicate with the true body, grant me the 'Ancient Token of the Yan Clan'? And when I wish to go to the Minor Spirit Realm, Yan Ling'er's true body will bring me there?"
"When the time is right, it would indeed be nice to take a look at the Minor Spirit Realm."
Such an offer, Ye Chen would naturally not refuse. Even if he never went to the Minor Spirit Realm, having the Ancient Token of the Yan Clan would pose no issue. And if he truly wished to visit the Minor Spirit Realm, the ancient token would make it much more convenient for him.
Ye Chen looked towards Yan Ling'er, ready to see how she would communicate with her true body far in the Minor Spirit Realm.
