CHAPTER 1189: CHAPTER 1128: THREE PALACES AND FOUR ISLANDS

Seeing the annotation for the "Chaos Fluorescent Pearl," Ye Chen’s mind and spirit stirred, and his Divine Sense directly looked towards his Stars Tower.

At this moment, within the Stars Tower, there was a fist-sized cluster of mysterious Divine Light, crystal clear luminous powder, placed in the corner.

This item was obtained by Ye Chen when he broke into the Chaotic Heavenly Hall, inside a pitch-black special space in the first layer of the Myriad Treasures Grotto.

At that time, Ye Chen entered that special space and saw mysterious little insects that looked like fire bugs. As they flew, layers of luminous powder fell from them.

This luminous powder, crystal clear and bright, seemed to be a special material.

When Ye Chen collected this luminous powder, those mysterious little insects made joyous sounds, fluttering around Ye Chen for a long time.

Ye Chen never understood exactly what this luminous powder was.

But here on Ancient Jade Island, on the Sky-high Price List, Ye Chen suddenly felt that the twenty-third place "Chaos Fluorescent Pearl" was referring to the luminous powder he obtained from the Chaotic Heavenly Hall!

Looking at the specific annotations for the Chaos Fluorescent Pearl, he saw it read: "Chaos Fluorescent Pearl, a special Divine Bead produced by the mysterious Divine Marvel, Chaotic Luminous Insects. It appears as a luminous powder but once fused with ’Heaven-reaching Water,’ it directly transforms into crystal clear Divine Beads.

Due to the difficulty of finding Chaotic Luminous Insects, this bead is extremely hard to obtain. Chaos Fluorescent Pearl, a set of seventy-two beads, is incredibly useful for cultivation and treasure refining!"

The Sky-high Price List doesn’t clearly state how exactly the Chaos Fluorescent Pearl is used for cultivation or what treasures can be refined with it.

However, having learned the name of this bead, a little investigation will reveal its purpose clearly!

What Ye Chen cares about most right now is whether the luminous powder he has is indeed this item.

If it truly is the Chaos Fluorescent Pearl, then Ye Chen must use it well for his cultivation!

"As long as I find that Heaven-reaching Water, let’s see if it can transform the luminous powder into Divine Beads."

"If it truly is the Chaos Fluorescent Pearl, I must carefully investigate how to use it for cultivation!"

The Heaven-reaching Water mentioned on the Sky-high Price List isn’t particularly rare — it’s referenced in the Jade Slip given by the Peak Lord to Ye Chen, stating it’s a common treasure water found in the Sea of Exile.

Discovering the explanation for the Chaos Fluorescent Pearl on the Sky-high Price List was an unexpected reward.

Ye Chen then continued to browse other treasures listed on the Sky-high Price List.

However, Ye Chen wasn’t familiar with the other treasures.

Seeing other people checking the list beside him occasionally exclaim, it’s clear these treasures are quite extraordinary and likely have connections to places throughout the Cosmic Sea.

"This time I’ve come to Ancient Jade Island, firstly to use the Ancient Profound Jade here to break through, striving to transcend from the Immortal Divine Venerable Realm to the Sovereign Realm, and push even further!"

"Secondly, to participate in the auction at Ancient Peace Pavilion, endeavoring to gain items that aid cultivation or enhance combat power, preparing for the upcoming Nine Bends Demon Realm adventure!"

"Now, first gather enough currency needed to cultivate at Xuan Feng Sect’s Ancient Profound Jade Mountain!"

Ye Chen has seen many cultivation-beneficial regions in the Jade Slip given by the Peak Lord, specifically choosing Ancient Jade Island and has done much research on it.

Traveling to Xuan Feng Sect for cultivation is quite simple.

Xuan Feng Sect has traditionally opened Ancient Profound Jade Mountain for cultivation.

However, naturally they don’t open it for free. To enter Ancient Profound Jade Mountain for cultivation, one must spend currency commonly used in the Sea of Exile.

Moreover, the cost varies entirely based on the level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain.

The highest level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain’s entry price is astronomical.

It’s said the highest level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain can even be used by a Cosmic Emperor for cultivation.

Ye Chen doesn’t need to enter such a precious retreat for cultivation.

Ye Chen plans to enter the Overlord Level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain for internal cultivation.

Although the entry price for the Overlord Level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain is high, Ye Chen isn’t worried about it.

Even if Ye Chen only has a small amount of currency commonly used in the Sea of Exile, given by sea beasts in the Outer Sea back then, Ye Chen has many treasures, even some he no longer uses.

Ancient Peace Pavilion specializes in acquiring many treasures, even treasures not on the Sky-high Price List. Ancient Peace Pavilion will still acquire them, so gathering the necessary resources for cultivation isn’t a problem for Ye Chen!

As Ye Chen’s mind rapidly turned, preparing to act according to his plan.

Suddenly, there was a commotion heard at the entrance of Ancient Jade Island.

Simultaneously, from the sky, came the sound of Divine Melody.

The sound of the Divine Melody was enormous, like thunder, causing the entire Ancient Jade Island to tremble.

Ye Chen looked towards the source of the Divine Melody and saw eight majestically extraordinary Dragon-Horses pulling an extremely luxurious carriage appeared in the void, slowly heading towards Ancient Jade Island.

Around the carriage, was surrounded by colorful clouds, and there were a total of twenty-four Peak Lords escorting the carriage!

Divine Melody resounding, eight dragons pulling the carriage, accompanied by Sovereign.

This is truly a magnificent spectacle!

When Ye Chen saw this scene, his mind swiftly connected it to a force mentioned in the Jade Slip given by the Peak Lord.

As Ye Chen pondered, someone in the crowded area exclaimed.

"People from the Immortal Divine Palace!"

"My heavens. Eight Dragon-Horses pulling the carriage, twenty-four Peak Lords escorting — this level, even within the Immortal Divine Palace, is the highest!"

"Could it be that the person arriving is the Palace Master of the Immortal Divine Palace?!"

In the crowd, some who came from the Outer Sea to the Inner Sea, unclear about what force the Immortal Divine Palace is, directly asked: "Immortal Divine Palace, what’s their background to be so extraordinary?"

"The Palace Master of the Immortal Divine Palace, could they be a Cosmic Emperor?!"

Upon hearing these inquisitive voices, someone from the Inner Sea directly explained, "You must be new to the Inner Sea, unaware of the Immortal Divine Palace, yet you dare to run around the Inner Sea at will!"

"In the Inner Sea, among the seven most powerful and top-tier forces, the Immortal Divine Palace is one of them, ranking second!"

"The Palace Master of the Immortal Divine Palace has reached the level of a Third Star Tribulation Cosmic Emperor and is already at the peak Cosmic Emperor status, just a step away from the Star Lord Realm!"

Heavens.

When they heard that the Palace Master of the Immortal Divine Palace was actually a peak Cosmic Emperor, the people from the Outer Sea were utterly shocked to the point of having their scalps tingle.

"Isn’t it said that many of the strong individuals in the Inner Sea were exiled from the Universe Sea? Such a figure, could someone dare to exile them?"

Such words could not be openly spoken by the arrivals from the Outer Sea, they could only curiously inquire towards the people of the Inner Sea.

The Inner Sea people directly communicated via voice transmission to explain, "Figures like these weren’t exiled. They’ve come, just like the Star Lords hidden in the Abyss, all for the great secrets of the Abyss!"

"They are powerful beings specifically here to venture into the Sea of Exile!"

"Among the seven major forces, only two have Cosmic Emperors who were exiled due to punishment from the Star Lords of the Universe Sea, all the other peak Cosmic Emperors have come of their own accord!"

The words of the Inner Sea locals made the people from the Outer Sea even more astonished, "Are you saying the top figures of the seven major forces are all peak Cosmic Emperors?!"

"Heavens, there’s indeed so many peak Cosmic Emperors in the Inner Sea?! Doesn’t that mean there are even more Cosmic Emperors of other levels..."

While these people were having a conversation via voice transmission, an overview of the Inner Sea’s basic situation from a Jade Slip flashed through Ye Chen’s mind.

Indeed, as those Inner Sea people stated, the entire Inner Sea of the Sea of Exile could be described as having seven major forces!

These seven major forces are referred to by countless powerhouses in the Inner Sea as--the Three Palaces and Four Islands!

The Three Palaces are: Immortal Divine Palace, Creation Divine Palace, Purple Feather Divine Palace!

The Four Islands are: Sky Extreme Demon Island, Mixed Spirit Island, Eight Wastes Island, Ice Extreme Divine Island!

In terms of the true ranking of these seven major forces, the Sky Extreme Demon Island among the Four Islands reigns supreme. The strongest figure, the Sky Extreme Demon Master, is rumored to be the number one person of the Cosmic Emperor Realm in the Sea of Exile, second only to several Star Lords hidden in the Abyss!

And under the Sky Extreme Demon Island, there are quite a few Cosmic Emperors who follow the Sky Extreme Demon Master.

The entire Sky Extreme Demon Island is the true overlord of the Inner Sea!

Besides Sky Extreme Demon Island, the second in rank is the Immortal Divine Palace.

Beyond the Palace Master, the Immortal Divine Palace also has seven protectors, each at the Cosmic Emperor Realm, with the Palace Master being a peak Cosmic Emperor!

Compared to such giants as Sky Extreme Demon Island and Immortal Divine Palace, even Ancient Jade Island appears very small.

No wonder a significant figure from the Immortal Divine Palace visiting Ancient Jade Island would cause such surprise!

Naturally, the voices of countless discussions at the entrance, as well as the thoughts in Ye Chen’s mind, were all but a moment.

When the Divine Melody sounded in the sky and the luxurious carriage appeared, significant figures had already appeared deep within Ancient Jade Island.

These significant figures were remarkably two Cosmic Emperors!

Even though these two Cosmic Emperors were only First Star Tribulation Cosmic Emperors, in the eyes of countless people, they were absolutely high and mighty!

Upon ascending Ancient Jade Island, Ye Chen had sensed there were Cosmic Emperors on this island, unexpectedly, there were indeed two of them up there!

At this moment, as soon as these two Cosmic Emperors appeared, they arrived not far from the luxurious carriage of the Immortal Divine Palace, both respectfully gazing toward the carriage.

One of them spoke, "We did not know the Lord Palace Master was coming, failed to welcome you from afar, we beg your Lord Palace Master’s forgiveness."

With the arrival of the two Cosmic Emperors, the luxurious carriage finally stopped.

The Divine Melody momentarily ceased, the Dragon-Horse halted, and when the curtain of the luxurious carriage that could isolate all probing was lifted, a light laugh was heard, "No need for politeness, Seniors, this time it’s not my father who personally came."

Upon gazing into the carriage, a young man of about twenty-something was seen sitting inside; he was dressed in luxurious divine attire, exceptionally handsome.

"So it’s the Young Palace Master!"

"The visit of the Young Palace Master to Ancient Jade Island truly honors our Ancient Jade Island!"

Seeing that the terrifying Palace Master was not in the magnificent carriage, but rather this young man, the two Cosmic Emperors breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, their tone did not show any negligence and remained extremely courteous.

"The Young Palace Master of the Immortal Divine Palace, Situ Nianchi, is rumored to be one of the top geniuses of the younger generation in the Sea of Exile, only twenty-eight years old, already at the Eight Stars Sovereign Realm."

Ye Chen also saw the young man inside the carriage, and information on this person instantly flashed through his mind.

Of course, at this moment, the young man in the carriage, noble as the Young Palace Master of the Immortal Divine Palace, Situ Nianchi, hadn’t even noticed Ye Chen.

Someone like Ye Chen, a mere Immortal Divine Venerable, wasn’t even on his radar.

He didn’t even regard many of the Masters on Ancient Jade Island.

At that moment, Situ Nianchi, after hearing the courteous words from the two Cosmic Emperors, smiled. However, he did not speak further to the two Cosmic Emperors but directly looked towards another direction in the void.

He respectfully spoke toward another direction, "Junior Sister Tianli, since you are here as well, why do you hesitate to appear? I heard that Junior Sister was coming to this Ancient Jade Island, and I hurried long distances to arrive here."

Tianli Junior Sister.

Upon the mention of these four words, even the two Cosmic Emperors in the void felt a sudden tremor in their hearts.

The name Tianli is the surname of the Island Master, the Sky Extreme Demon Master of the number one-ranked Sky Extreme Demon Island among the seven major forces in the Inner Sea!

Could it be that the witch from the Sky Extreme Demon Island has also come here?!
