CHAPTER 1191: CHAPTER 1130: ANCIENT PROFOUND JADE MOUNTAIN

One incense stick later, Ye Chen left the treasure exchange point at the Ancient Peace Pavilion with an astonishing amount of the Sea of Exile’s universal currency.

Throughout this journey of cultivation, Ye Chen amassed an innumerable number of treasures.

Not only did he acquire countless treasures from places like Heavenly God Mountain, True Spirit Divine Kingdom, and Primal Beginning Universe, but also from the numerous strong opponents he defeated, yielding an endless array of spoils.

Plus, there were treasures left in the Refining God Chart by that pinnacle Cosmic Emperor.

It could be said that both in terms of quantity and quality, the treasures on Ye Chen’s person could rival those of many powerful Cosmic Emperors!

Even more, with rare items like the Stars Tower and Chaos Cauldron, countless Cosmic Emperors couldn’t compare!

In this situation, Ye Chen only needed to exchange some useless and duplicate treasures to acquire an astonishing amount of wealth!

Additionally, Ye Chen possessed the golden identity token given by that mysterious girl, Gu Yanyan.

The golden identity token is the highest level guest token of the Ancient Peace Pavilion. Upon seeing this token, the person in charge of treasure exchange at the pavilion immediately realized that Ye Chen was an extraordinary figure and dared not suppress the price, directly offering the highest exchange rate.

Ye Chen quickly gathered enough to afford training on the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain of the Xuan Feng Sect.

In fact, he had so much left over that he could afford to acquire many treasures at the upcoming Ancient Peace Pavilion auction.

Of course, the most precious treasures of the Ancient Peace Pavilion were still beyond the means of Ye Chen’s current wealth. However, he had countless treasures to use, so when he truly desired the most precious treasure at the auction in the future, he could always exchange treasures to obtain it.

For now, the urgent priority was to head to the Xuan Feng Sect to continue his cultivation!

Of course, Ye Chen did not go directly to the Xuan Feng Sect.

He had one important matter to attend to.

That was, to thoroughly investigate information regarding the "Chaos Fluorescent Pearl."

Since this item was mentioned in the Sky-high Price List at the Ancient Peace Pavilion as being highly useful for cultivation, and Ye Chen was eager to break through, he was naturally keen to understand it fully!

After spending half a day, Ye Chen finally gathered more information about the Chaos Fluorescent Pearl and even obtained quite a bit of Heaven-reaching Water to transform the Luminous Powder.

Then, Ye Chen finally headed towards the Xuan Feng Sect.

...

The Xuan Feng Sect occupies most of the western part of Ancient Jade Island.

The two major lords of Ancient Jade Island, the Xuan Feng Sect and the Ancient Peace Pavilion, with the Ancient Peace Pavilion mainly controlling the eastern territories of Ancient Jade Island, while the Xuan Feng Sect primarily controls the western territories.

At this time, the auction of the Ancient Peace Pavilion had not officially begun, yet there were more people heading to the Xuan Feng Sect preparing to enter the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain for training than there were on the pavilion’s territory.

When Ye Chen arrived at the foot of the Xuan Feng Sect mountain, there was already a dense crowd gathering at the foot of the mountain.

In the void above, several Divine Masters of the Xuan Feng Sect continuously addressed the crowd.

"Today, the Xuan Feng Sect’s four levels of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain are open to the public."

"The fourth level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain will open a total of ten thousand Cultivation Cave Abodes. To enter, one must pay a daily fee of one hundred thousand currency and wait in queue to enter. So far, more than six thousand people have entered, leaving over three thousand slots still available!"

This fourth level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain is the least effective for cultivation among the mountains, offering the most yet cost-effective cultivation cave abodes.

However, even the least effective cultivation location surpasses countless other places in strength, given its precious Ancient Profound Jade.

Generally, those below the Divine Master Realm choose to train in this level of the mountain, as higher levels would be too advanced for themselves and a waste.

At the moment, the queue for the fourth level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain was the longest.

Ye Chen glanced at the crowd, noting that under the supervision of the Divine Masters of the Xuan Feng Sect, about seventy to eighty percent of those crowding the foot of the mountain were aiming to enter the fourth level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain.

"The third level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain will open a total of one thousand cave abodes. To enter, one must pay a daily fee of one million currency..."

"The second level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain will open a total of one hundred cave abodes. To enter, a daily fee of one billion currency is required!"

The Divine Masters of the Xuan Feng Sect continued to introduce the other levels of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain.

When it came to the second level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain, the cost of training surged steeply, drawing gasps from the crowd at the foot of the mountain.

One billion currency, even a peak divine master level treasure can only fetch about one billion currency in the Sea of Exile.

Thus, the value was only enough for a single day of cultivation at the second level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain?!

Many who flocked to the Xuan Feng Sect intending to cultivate never expected the cost disparity between the second level and third level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain to be so vast.

Seeing their expressions, a Divine Master from the Xuan Feng Sect explained, "The higher the level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain, the more precious it is, and the better the cultivation effects."

"The second level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain is sufficient even for an Overlord to cultivate within, so naturally, it would be priced much higher than the third level."

"Furthermore, entering the second level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain requires not only a daily fee of one billion currency but also a special status."

"Either one must be at the Dominion Realm to qualify for entry, or must possess a silver-level or above identity token from one of the two major forces of Ancient Jade Island, either the Xuan Feng Sect or the Ancient Peace Pavilion to enter!"

Wow.

The words of this Divine Master caused a commotion among the crowd.

They did not expect the requirements to enter the second level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain to be so high!

"That’s only the second level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain. The requirements for the highest first level are even stricter!" Seeing the shocked expressions on the crowd, the Divine Master of the Xuan Feng Sect said proudly, "The highest level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain has only three mountains in total in the Xuan Feng Sect, and only Cosmic Emperors can enter! No matter how much currency you have, if you’re not a Cosmic Emperor, you can’t enter!"

"Moreover, to enter the first level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain, it requires the personal consent of the sect master of the Xuan Feng Sect!"

Buzz!

When these words spread, many people gasped deeply.

Heaven.

The first-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain dedicated solely for the Cosmic Emperor’s cultivation!

For everyone present, it’s simply unimaginable.

The Cosmic Emperor, even with the existence of the Sea of Exile, any one of them is an undeniable overlord, a being whose mere footstep can shake the Sea of Exile!

"Alright, the rules have been repeated many times. Now, line up and register for the level of the Ancient Profound Jade Mountain you wish to go to!"

Upon hearing this rule, the countless crowd began looking for the queue that suited them.

Still, most people aimed for the lowest fourth-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain.

The remainder mostly headed for the third-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain.

Ye Chen glanced at the queue for the second-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain and saw only a few dozen people in line there.

These few dozen people were mostly Masters; even if they weren’t Masters, only a few were of the Divine Master Realm.

As for the first-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain queue, there wasn’t a single person!

After looking for a moment, Ye Chen walked towards the second-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain queue.

When Ye Chen reached the end of the line, countless gazes focused on him.

"Hmm?"

"Who is this person, actually queuing for the second-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain?"

"The second-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain, it costs a billion currency per day to cultivate there! He is so young, does he have such wealth?! Could he be the descendant of a prominent figure from a major force?!"

"Judging by the aura emanating from him, he is only in the Divine Venerable Realm. Even if he is the descendant of a major figure, going to the second-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain seems too wasteful, unless he is an extraordinary genius?"

Countless people discussed Ye Chen.

Even many Masters in the second-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain queue turned back to look at Ye Chen.

After all, with no queue at the first-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain, the second level was the highest, and Ye Chen, such a young man, showing up inevitably drew everyone’s attention.

At this moment, Ye Chen turned a blind eye to the countless gazes.

He was fully prepared in terms of qualification and currency, coming here solely for cultivation, with no intention of interacting with others.

Ye Chen’s calm demeanor made many people even more curious about his background.

The queues for the third and fourth levels were crowded, and the cave abodes were limited, allowing entry only in sequence.

However, Ye Chen’s second-level queue moved much faster.

The second-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain had one hundred cave abodes, and there weren’t even a hundred people entering daily, so there was no need to wait; registration and currency payment were sufficient!

Soon, as those in front completed their registration and entered, it was Ye Chen’s turn.

The Divine Master responsible for this queue’s registration and currency collection from the Xuan Feng Sect had already noticed Ye Chen.

Now, seeing Ye Chen in front of him, the Divine Master carefully scrutinized Ye Chen for a moment, then said to him: "Guest, you should understand the rules for entering the second-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain."

Ye Chen nodded and directly took out two tokens.

One was a golden identity token representing the most precious guest status of the Ancient Peace Pavilion.

The other was a currency token used in the Sea of Exile.

Upon seeing the golden identity token Ye Chen presented, the Divine Master of the Xuan Feng Sect’s eyes shone brightly.

Others in the queue who had been watching Ye Chen were also shocked.

A golden identity token!

And it’s from the Ancient Peace Pavilion!

This young man must have a significant background!

Neither these people nor the Divine Master of the Xuan Feng Sect knew that Ye Chen’s token was gifted by that little girl Gu Yanyan, the first time she met Ye Chen, for helping her discover a cluster of Overlord-level Divine Fire.

If they knew this, they would be even more astonished.

Astonished that Gu Yanyan would so casually give such a precious token to Ye Chen!

Of course, if they knew that Ye Chen, at the Immortal Divine Venerable Realm, could discover Overlord-level Divine Fire, they would be even more amazed!

Ye Chen didn’t care about the shock on everyone’s faces. After showing the identity token for the Xuan Feng Sect’s Divine Master to inspect, he quickly put the golden token away.

Simultaneously, Ye Chen tossed the currency token to the Divine Master, saying, "I intend to cultivate for a month at the second-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain. You can deduct a month’s currency first, and if I need more time, I’ll inform you later."

A month!

That would require a whopping thirty billion currency!

What a lavish expenditure!

If used for the fourth-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain, it would allow for over eighty years of cultivation time!

Even in the third-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain, it could last over eight years!

Many people in the other two queues, who were both older and at higher realms than Ye Chen, looked at Ye Chen with extreme envy. After all, they also wished to cultivate in the second-level Ancient Profound Jade Mountain, and even if it seemed wasteful, they desired to have the qualification to enter!
