The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms

Chapter 2999: Chapter 2994: Befriending the Powerful Ones_1

By then, Yang Chen might consider him a friend.

Being friends with a Boundless Stage expert was far more than just a single Elixir; although the Elixir was precious, it was nothing compared to losing a friend of a Boundless Stage expert. Thinking about this, Wang Yuanzheng felt a deep pain in his heart.

Why, why did he make that decision back then?

Yang Chen’s eyes fell on Elder Han and he spoke gently, "Elder Han, long time no see."

"Ah? Don’t be so formal, there’s no need for the term ’elder.’ Yang Chen, my friend, given your current cultivation level, we can be considered equals. So don’t mention the elder thing anymore." Elder Han laughed heartily. He was quite satisfied with Yang Chen’s attainment of the Boundaryless Cultivation level, and his smile was evident.

Yang Chen had always been someone who respected others more than he demanded respect for himself.

Now, Elder Han was being courteous to him, so naturally, he responded with a smile, "How could I do that? Elder Han, it’s not just about cultivation level that you’re above me. Even if my cultivation level is now equal to yours, my experiences and knowledge are far from yours, so I wouldn’t dare to be on equal footing with you in terms of friendship."

Elder Han was delighted to hear this.

Just now, Yang Chen’s display of suppressing Elder Feng was truly astonishing to him. He knew that if he were in Elder Feng’s position, he would probably have a tragic outcome as well. So his reverence towards Yang Chen had deepened in some way. But Yang Chen was always modest and didn’t care about minor details. He still acknowledged Elder Han as his senior, which made Elder Han feel very honored.

"Well, well, since you still acknowledge me as your elder, I’ll gladly accept the title from you, my young friend, Yang Chen. It’s been a while, let’s walk and talk." Elder Han said with a slight smile.

Yang Chen naturally didn’t mind. He had many questions to ask Elder Han, so he replied, "Please, Elder Han."

Yang Chen and Elder Han walked together, while Wang Yuanzheng was left behind and no longer cared about.

Seeing this, Wang Yuanzheng felt a mix of emotions in his heart and could only hang his head in regret for his past choices.

On the way, Elder Han was full of doubts, "Young friend Yang Chen, I heard that you went to the northern region back then, and at that time you were only at the Nirvana Stage. And now..."

Yang Chen knew that these things would not be easy to explain, but on the way here, he had already thought about how to make it concise. He then explained the general situation to Elder Han.

Elder Han listened to the thrilling experiences that Yang Chen had in the northern region, as well as the process of his rapid increase in cultivation, and was left in shock for a moment.

Although Yang Chen mostly mentioned that he relied on luck to improve his cultivation, Elder Han was well aware that it wasn’t easy to reach the Boundless Stage purely by luck. If it were that easy, wouldn’t everyone be a Boundless Stage cultivator?

Moreover, Yang Chen kept things vague about his experiences in both the northern and southern regions. Anyone with a little thought would be able to guess that if it weren’t for a very terrifying divine power, how could Yang Chen traverse between the northern and southern regions so easily?

"Speaking of which, it was mostly due to luck rather than anything worth mentioning. But what puzzles me now is that my status has been frozen. How did this happen?" Yang Chen asked curiously.

Elder Han replied with a smile and a shake of his head, "Yang Chen, it’s a long story. So about the freezing of your status, you must have heard a lot of rumors, right?"

"Yes, there are many rumors," Yang Chen answered.

"The truth is different from the rumors. You must never be misled by them. The sect decided to freeze your status mainly because they knew that you went to the northern region. It’s not easy to cross between the northern and southern regions, so nobody expected you to return. Normally, your Sacred Domain status would have been abolished. However, the Nine Suns King thought that you had made great contributions to humanity and were a disciple of the Sacred Domain, so he changed the abolition to a freeze. The freeze is actually just a measure against those who try to exploit the loophole. Your status has never changed!" Elder Han explained, concerned that Yang Chen might misunderstand.

Yang Chen had already guessed this, and hearing Elder Han’s careful explanation, he smiled and said, "So that’s how it is. Since that’s the case, I have no concerns."

"Yang Chen, with your return and your cultivation reaching the Boundless Stage, I believe the Nine Suns King will be delighted. However, when you left years ago, you took on a task from the Young Master of the Sacred Domain. Now that you’ve returned..." Elder Han said with anticipation.

The issue now wasn’t whether Yang Chen was qualified to be the Young Master of the Sacred Domain.

It was whether Yang Chen wanted to take the position of Young Master of the Sacred Domain.

It was a joke; as long as Yang Chen wanted to, who else had the qualifications to compete for the spot of the Sacred Domain Young Master? It wasn’t even worth considering.

Yang Chen could tell that Elder Han wanted to know his answer, so he said gently, "Elder Han, I would like to meet the Nine Suns King in person. There are some matters that are more appropriate to discuss face to face. I hope Elder Han can help me."

"So that’s how it is. If that’s the case, let me arrange a residence for you first. You can rest here for a couple of days; the Nine Suns King is currently in seclusion, and Lord Zhou Fengwang has already gone out. It might take some time to inform the Nine Suns King." Elder Han suggested.

Yang Chen wasn’t in a hurry and replied with a smile, "Thank you, Elder Han."

Elder Han quickly arranged a residence for Yang Chen without any need for thanks.

Seeing Yang Chen’s cultivation level, Elder Han naturally arranged the best possible residence for him and dared not neglect it.

Yang Chen had no particular requirements for the environment either, as he would not be staying here for long. After meeting the Nine Suns King and repaying his debt of gratitude, it would be time for him to leave the Sacred Domain.

Thus, Yang Chen settled down here for the time being.

Informing the Nine Suns King was not a simple matter. Several days passed without any news.

However, in these few days, many Boundless Stage experts came to visit, apparently hearing about his encounter with Elder Feng and being very concerned.

These Boundless Stage experts had testing intentions, and many of them didn’t quite believe in his cultivation level.

To their inquiries, Yang Chen initially did not want to respond, but the experts seemed to have threatening intentions. This angered Yang Chen, and he showed a little bit of his Boundless Stage cultivation, which finally deterred the experts.

After that, many people came to get close to him, hoping to befriend him.

These Boundless Stage experts had various ways of trying to get close to Yang Chen, including offering treasures and Elixirs. Many of them even tried to send female cultivators into his arms.
