Invincible Soul Emperor-Chapter 392 Heading to the Central Region

After a period of operation, Chen Yue Pavilion had begun to take shape. It dealt in spiritual medicine, and since spirit pills were highly sought-after, scarce goods on the Heaven Desolate Continent, various forces were willing to curry favor with the pavilion.

The Rising Sun Pavilion was even more notable. Though it was only a two-star sect in terms of combat power, its network of business associations spanned all regions, and it possessed unique channels for obtaining all kinds of news.

But even so, they had gleaned no news about the mysterious Saint Heir.

Liang Xiong had even personally approached the Huanyue Sect. However, with Lin Lanxin dead and the Saint Heir having taken Huan Yuehua away, no one in the sect knew the true identity of this mysterious figure.

Ye Qingchen, meanwhile, had been using the time spent gathering information to diligently heal and recuperate.

At Ye Qingchen’s repeated requests, Ye Changqing and Qin Zhantian returned to the Northern Desolate Country along with Li Qingfeng and the others. Only Liang Fei remained at Chen Yue Pavilion to accompany Ye Qingchen.

「A week quickly passed.」

Ye Qingchen had restored his body to its peak condition, but as of now, there was still not a single piece of news about the Saint Heir.

Looking at Ye Qingchen’s constantly furrowed brow, Liang Fei offered some comfort. "Qingchen, don’t worry. My father has also notified the various sects to help you find news of the Saint Heir. I believe it won’t be long before we have a clue."

In truth, Liang Fei knew in his heart that Chaoyun Country was far from the Central Region. They knew very little about the powers there, so the chances of finding a clue were slim to none.

Ye Qingchen sighed. He saw no need to hide anything from Liang Fei, who had stayed by his side. "Liang Fei, I’ve decided to set off for the Central Region. I believe I can definitely find clues there. Staying here is just a waste of time."

Hearing that Ye Qingchen intended to go to the Central Region, Liang Fei grew anxious and hurriedly tried to dissuade him. "Qingchen, have you forgotten what Li Zongrui said that day? Even if you go to the Central Region now, it won’t do any good. It’s better to stay here. With Chen Yue Pavilion and our Thunder Valley providing you with endless cultivation resources, it won’t be too late to head to the Central Region after you make a breakthrough."

Ye Qingchen shook his head. "It’s true that there are countless spirit pills and spirit stones here, but if I continue to live in a sheltered environment, I’ll never be a match for the Saint Heir, no matter how many breakthroughs I achieve."

During this time, Ye Qingchen had already thought it through. It isn’t about how strong the Saint Heir is. Rather, his control over energy and his mastery of martial and cultivation techniques are beyond anything I can comprehend. That was why he had felt so helpless when facing the Saint Heir.

It was for this reason that Ye Qingchen had planned to travel, to search for clues about the Saint Heir while broadening his horizons and improving his strength.

But Liang Fei disagreed. "Qingchen, how can you be so foolish! Realm is everything. As long as your realm is high enough to crush your opponent, he won’t stand a chance."

"I defeated Huan Yuehua, who was at the fifth level of the Martial King Realm, when I was only in the Martial Spirit Realm," Ye Qingchen replied with a wry smile. "Do you still believe realm is everything? Besides, do you think that Saint Heir lacks cultivation resources? I’m afraid the entire Chaoyun Country combined isn’t as wealthy as he is. So, to defeat him, I must leave the Northern Region and see the legendary Central Region for myself!"

Ye Qingchen’s words left Liang Fei speechless. He wanted to argue but didn’t know how to begin.

"Mr. Ye is right." Liang Xiong walked in just then, interrupting Liang Fei’s attempt to dissuade his friend. "To continuously improve, one must continuously expand one’s knowledge. As the saying goes, ’Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles.’ This applies to the path of cultivation as well."

"Father, do you actually support Qingchen leaving for the Central Region now?" Liang Fei asked anxiously.

Liang Xiong shook his head with a smile. "Silly child, even if we disagreed, we wouldn’t be able to persuade Mr. Ye given his temperament. Besides, what he said is correct."

Ye Qingchen clasped his hands in a formal bow. "Thank you, Sect Master Liang."

"Pill King Xi and I discussed this long ago," Liang Xiong said, waving his hand and taking out a scroll. He handed it to Ye Qingchen. "We knew you would eventually head to the Central Region, so we specially acquired a map of the Northern Region for you. It includes the routes to the Central Region. Once you arrive there, however, you’ll have to buy a new map."

Ye Qingchen nodded gratefully, impressed by Liang Xiong’s thoughtfulness. But since Liang Xiong discussed this with Xi Jianwei, why didn’t Pill King Xi come with him?

Right then, Xi Jianwei appeared. He jogged up to Ye Qingchen and handed him a storage ring. "Mr. Ye, this is all the income from Chen Yue Pavilion during this period—about five million low-grade spirit stones. Please accept it."

Ye Qingchen hesitated for a moment before accepting the storage ring. "Pill King Xi, although Yue’er and I founded Chen Yue Pavilion, you’re the one who has managed it all this time. Now that I’m leaving, I don’t know when I’ll be back. I’ll leave the pavilion in your care." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Ye Qingchen truly did need spirit stones. As a hard currency, they were indispensable for both travel and cultivation. Otherwise, he would have certainly left them with Xi Jianwei for the pavilion’s development.

Hearing Ye Qingchen’s words, Xi Jianwei smiled and shook his head. "Mr. Ye, what are you saying? You saved my life. If it weren’t for you, I would have died in the dungeons of the Huanyue Sect. I’m already thrilled to be able to offer you my humble assistance. As for Chen Yue Pavilion, you can leave without any worries. I will take good care of it for you. Whenever you return, it will still be yours!"

Ye Qingchen clapped Xi Jianwei on the shoulder. No words were needed; everything was understood.

Xi Jianwei seemed to recall something else. He took a letter from his robes and handed it to Ye Qingchen. "On your way to the Central Region, there is a city called Northern Barrier City, located at the border of the Northern and Central Regions. It’s on your route. I have a junior brother named Xia Chengkai who has been operating there for many years. If you find him, he might be able to help you find some clues about the Saint Heir. This letter contains my token. Just give it to him, and he will do his utmost to help you."

Ye Qingchen’s heart leaped with joy. With this letter, I won’t have to search aimlessly like a headless fly! He quickly accepted the envelope and bowed deeply to Xi Jianwei.

After a few more days of preparation, Ye Qingchen finally embarked on his journey to the Central Region
