Chapter 1674 - 1474: Half-step Immortal (2)

"I didn't expect you to survive a catastrophe and actually be on the verge of becoming immortal?" The Holy Infant observed Ye Guichen who had wrapped up his body, and after a slight inspection, revealed an astonished expression once more.

The feeling was as incredible as the sun rising from the west.

Ye Guichen said smugly, "I am a person of great fortune."

"Hum, great fortune?" The Holy Infant retorted at Ye Guichen, "During this time, I've been lurking around this Nine Grade Demon without leaving even for a moment, afraid that one day you'd wake up and not know where you were. Do you even know how long you've been inside this demon's body?"

Ye Guichen nodded blankly, "How long have I stayed?"

"Three years." The Holy Infant replied.

"What? Three years?" Ye Guichen gasped in shock.

Unbelievably, three years had slipped by.

"Then what happened during these three years? Where am I now?" Ye Guichen sensed that something significant might have occurred.

No one expected time to pass so quickly.

The Holy Infant sighed, "I don't know the specific details myself, but right now, you're under the Hidden Gate. That Hidden Gate should already be open; the entire Chaos Sea is now in turmoil. The Demon Saint has emerged, and the Holy Clan's Young Master is rampaging with a group of the Demon Clan on the Chaos Sea, which will soon turn Netherworld Mountain into a purgatory as well."

"And no Immortals have stepped in to help?" Ye Guichen's initial excitement and joy dissipated completely, his brows furrowed in worry as he asked.

The Holy Infant shook his head, "I've never left the Chaos Sea, always by your side, so how would I know why? However, judging by their nature, it's likely that they don't care about the life or death of the people here in the Chaos Sea. As long as their interests aren't involved, they won't step in."

Speaking of this, the Holy Infant revealed a mocking expression on his face, "Back then, those people dispatched the Snake Woman to lead some Immortals to seal the Demon Saint and Demon Clan simply because the Demon Saint intended to invade the Immortals' territory. But this time, the Demon Saint seems to have wised up; he doesn't involve the Immortals' territory at all, so it's no surprise if those Immortals don't help."

Ye Guichen said no more, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

"Let's first take a look at the Chaos Sea's surface." With that, Ye Guichen lightly leaped upward.

The Chaos Sea seemed unable to leave any resistance on Ye Guichen's body.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Guichen had already surfaced.

The powerful force gave Ye Guichen a completely different feeling.

Upon reaching the surface, Ye Guichen saw a large gate from afar.

That gate was probably a hundred feet high, already open, with two lions napping at the entrance.

Around the gate were countless floating cities.

Many floating cities were connected together, resembling an island centered around the large gate.

That large gate was undoubtedly the Hidden Gate.

Ye Guichen spread his Divine Sense, discovering countless members of the Demon Clan on those floating cities.

Most of the Demon Clan emitted powerful demonic aura, and those demons were half-demon beings, seemingly disdainful of completely transforming their bodies into human forms.

Moreover, there were also some cultivators among them.

The cultivation of those cultivators was not weak, but many were locked in iron cages, akin to prisoners.

With just a slight inspection, Ye Guichen actually spotted some familiar faces.

They were precisely those people he had seen before on the floating city.

Not only including Qin Ruoshui and Xie Xinwen but even the Black Dragon was bound by an iron chain.

However, the Black Dragon looked extremely painful, baring his upper body, with a crack on his back.

The iron chain was fastened to the Black Dragon's spine.

In this way, the Black Dragon could not escape, nor could he exert his cultivation.

"These Demon Clan members, so vicious!" Ye Guichen's expression turned cold, and he was about to charge over, but the Holy Infant held him back: "Don't act impulsively; the Demon Clan has nearly taken over more than half of the sea territory. Although you're almost a Half-step Immortal now, those Demon Clan members aren't to be underestimated. Having been imprisoned within the Hidden Gate for so many years, many of the Demon Clan have greatly increased their cultivation. Half-step Immortals are not few."

"Their goal isn't just this small sea area; they probably aim to invade even the Immortals' territory. Although they don't possess the power now, eventually they might clash with the Immortals. By then, you can reap the benefits. But if you act now, it will only lead to your demise."

"Do you mean I should wait?" Ye Guichen glanced at the Holy Infant, "Then what should I wait for?"

"You're now in the Half-step Immortal Realm, with greatly extended longevity, so waiting for hundreds of years is no problem. You've waited three years, so what's another hundred?"

Ye Guichen chuckled wryly.

The Holy Infant's suggestion was indeed a method.

But if he really waited hundreds of years, he might suffocate himself.

Ye Guichen now felt the infinite power within him; wouldn't it be unbearable not to unleash it?

"What's there to fear, I've died once already, am I supposed to watch as those Demon Clan harm my friends?" Ye Guichen didn't wait for the Holy Infant to speak, directly storing him inside Jiuyou Tower.

Then, Ye Guichen quickly arrived below a floating city.

Seeing an isolated member of the Demon Clan, taking advantage of others' inattentiveness, he pulled it underwater and simultaneously decapitated it with the Immortal Slayer Sword.

He took its storage ring by force.

With Ye Guichen's current cultivation, he could easily erase the Spiritual Sense from the storage ring.
