I, Ye Chen, turned out to be a top expert

Chapter 1146 So angry that I vomited blood

"It turns out I am the frog in the well."

"No wonder Feng Baiyu, now that he has reached the realm of God Emperor, is still so humble in front of this master."

Yang Wanli's gaze fell on Ye Chen, and his mind trembled uncontrollably.

Yang Wanli knew very well that Ye Chen had seen through the disdain in Yang Wanli and Su Xun's eyes just now, because in that instant, Yang Wanli noticed that Ye Chen's smile as he looked at him gradually faded.

Su Xun, who was standing to the side, was reprimanded by Yang Wanli through telepathy. At this moment, his face was ashen and he didn't dare to utter a word.

My skin is trembling.

"Damn, how could this happen?"

"This person has truly returned to simplicity, and has even managed to completely conceal the traces of his cultivation of immortal techniques."

At that moment, Su Xun dared not feel the slightest displeasure; his heart was filled only with fear.

While Yang Wanli and Su Xun were filled with unease, Ye Chen put down the bone and slowly walked over.

Seeing Ye Chen sit down opposite him, Yang Wanli felt a little uneasy for a moment.

His face was somewhat pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

At that moment, Yang Wanli was extremely nervous.

After all, someone as terrifying as Ye Chen could kill him with a single thought.

Yang Wanli couldn't help but think of that saying again: "If you don't court death, you won't die."

He originally thought he was the pinnacle of martial arts in the world, but after meeting Ye Chen, he found that he was really just an ant.

Seeing that Ye Chen remained silent, Yang Wanli became even more uneasy. He could only forcefully suppress his fear, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.

Her anxious gaze fell on Ye Chen, and she said with a smile, "Young Master, there has been no movement from over there these past two days. You must be a little bored here. Why don't you come and sit in my City Lord's Mansion?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Yang Wanli looked at Ye Chen nervously.

"No!"

"I prefer a quieter place; it's nice to read a book here!"

"I won't bother you any longer."

Ye Chen glanced at Yang Wanli in front of him, his voice indifferent, for he now possessed merit.

Even though Yang Wanli was quite powerful, Ye Chen had no fear of him.

Seeing that Ye Chen refused without hesitation, not giving him a chance to make amends, Yang Wanli became even more anxious. He could only forcefully suppress his fear and continue speaking.

"Does the young master enjoy reading?"

"My City Lord's Mansion has collected books from all over the world. If you have time, young master, you may visit the City Lord's Mansion's library and browse at will."

At this moment, Yang Wanli only wanted to start a conversation with Ye Chen, and he was extremely uneasy.

"I love reading!"

"I've been reading this book recently, but I don't lack books here. If I'm really interested, I'll come and take a look at yours."

Seeing that Yang Wanli's attitude seemed to have changed a lot and he was now inviting him, Ye Chen's gaze towards Yang Wanli was less indifferent.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen placed the book beside him on the table.

Seeing that Ye Chen's indifference towards him had lessened slightly, Yang Wanli felt a little more at ease.

At that moment, Yang Wanli originally wanted to continue chatting with Ye Chen, to strike while the iron was hot and close the distance, but his gaze involuntarily fell on the books in front of Ye Chen.

He was about to speak when he suddenly lost his voice.

Upon seeing the book in front of Ye Chen, Yang Wanli's pupils suddenly contracted, and disbelief appeared in his eyes.

Yang Wanli's legs trembled violently under the table, and his hands were extremely stiff.

Yang Wanli saw an incomparably powerful force of the Great Dao in this book.

That wisp of the power of the Great Dao was extremely terrifying.

It was as if the book before Ye Chen contained the myriad principles of the heavens.

At that moment, Ye Chen's book happened to be open.

It happens to be a chapter from the Tao Te Ching.

Lines of text caught Yang Wanli's eye in that instant.

These originally black characters, upon falling into Yang Wanli's eyes, instantly turned golden and shone with endless divine light.

Even Yang Wanli at this moment could hardly see the words on the book.

Yang Wanli could only see the first few sentences of the article.

"The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. Nameless, it is the origin of heaven and earth; named, it is the mother of all things. Therefore, one should always be without desire in order to observe its mystery, and always have desire in order to observe its manifestations. These two are the same in origin but different in name, and are both called profound. Profound and yet more profound, it is the gateway to all mysteries."

Upon merely reading this opening passage, Yang Wanli's mind trembled violently, his face filled with disbelief, as if he had seen countless profound truths within this book.

These words seemed to come alive in Yang Wanli's eyes.

In just a short while, Yang Wanli suddenly discovered that he had received unimaginable benefits.

The reason Yang Wanli invited Ye Chen to the City Lord's library was that Yang Wanli wanted to make amends. He believed that his library contained all the Dao scrolls in the world, and he wanted to open all the Dao scrolls he had collected to Ye Chen in order to make up for his mistake today.

In Yang Wanli's eyes, those Daoist scrolls were the fruits of his labor, and this compensation was his greatest sincerity.

However, after only glancing at the book in front of Ye Chen, and reading just a few words at the beginning of one of the chapters, Yang Wanli was shocked to discover that his own writings were utter garbage compared to Ye Chen's book.

They're not on the same level.

Just a short passage brought Yang Wanli immense benefits, and in that instant, Yang Wanli's heart couldn't help but feel despair.

"How could this happen? How can I make amends?"

Yang Wanli looked like he was struggling.

By now, Yang Wanli realized that he seemed to have only one thing to offer.

Yang Wanli valued this treasure more than his own life, but at that moment, when he saw Ye Chen in front of him, he became extremely nervous.

Yang Wanli wanted to slap himself hard, to slap himself for his ignorance, to slap himself for his arrogance.

"Damn it, damn Su Xun, he actually misled me."

"I really want to skin him alive."

"What should we do now?"

"I never expected to offend such a terrifying being."

Yang Wanli quickly weighed the pros and cons.

"Although this treasure is very important to me, how can I seize the treasure in the cave if I can't even save my life?"

At that moment, Yang Wanli was in a state of intense inner struggle.

After much struggle, Yang Wanli gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Having decided to give away his treasure, Yang Wanli chose to live, since he valued the treasure in the cave more.

Yang Wanli has just made a decision.

Before he could even speak, Ye Chen slowly picked up a piece of fruit and placed it in front of Feng Baiyu.

"Palace Master Feng, you've had a long day. Quench your thirst with these fruits that I personally grew. Try them."

Ye Chen had a big smile on his face.

The attitudes of Feng Baiyu and Yang Wanli were not even on the same level.

"Thank you, sir!"

Feng Baiyu knew how terrifying Ye Chen was, so he wouldn't hesitate to eat anything, even excrement, let alone just fruit.

The moment Feng Baiyu received the fruit, he took a big bite.

Feng Baiyu was now aware of Yang Wanli's predicament and tried his best to act in a way that Ye Chen liked.

But when Feng Baiyu tasted the fruit, he was stunned.

“This, this…”

"What kind of magical fruit is this?"

Just by taking a big bite and biting into the fruit, Feng Baiyu felt an extremely rich power of law.

"This is the spiritual root of heaven and earth."

"how is this possible?"

Seeing Feng Baiyu eating fruit, Yang Wanli recalled his previous rejection and became somewhat distracted. He glanced at Feng Baiyu, but that one glance caused Yang Wanli's mind to tremble violently.

His face was full of disbelief.

Su Xun, standing to the side, was almost completely stunned.

I dare not breathe.

Because Su Xun felt Yang Wanli's murderous gaze.

Su Xun knew that his few words had misled Yang Wanli; otherwise, Yang Wanli, who was always cautious, would never have shown contempt or ridicule.

This was an incredible opportunity, but it vanished because of his own doubts.

"Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots!"

"Moreover, it is a divine-level spiritual root of heaven and earth."

"Wow, I never expected to have such an opportunity today."

Feng Baiyu was incredibly excited; at this moment, he didn't need any acting skills at all.

As he looked overjoyed, the voice echoed in Yang Wanli's mind.

"Yang Wanli, these mundane things are truly remarkable."

"I never expected that Lord Yang would be so disdainful."

"These kinds of things are probably everywhere in the city lord's mansion."

"It's my Heavenly Star Palace that's poor; we can't afford to eat, and we can't even see the best."

Yang Wanli, who was already regretting his actions to the point of wanting to vomit blood, felt a sweet taste in his throat upon hearing Feng Baiyu's words. If he hadn't forced himself to swallow, he would have vomited right then and there.

Such a level of spiritual root from heaven and earth is incredibly precious to them.

The God Emperor wanted to enter the realm of half-step transcendence.

The first step will then be to forge a body without flaws.

But this step is too difficult.

Such a level of spiritual root from heaven and earth can help forge a flawless body.

He, however, completely missed this incredible opportunity.

"Young master, I apologize for coming today, as I did not bring anything with me."

"This item is for you, young master."

"Please don't find this offensive, young master."

"This thing isn't valuable."

Yang Wanli could no longer hold back and hurriedly spoke up, taking out a painting.

This is the priceless map of mountains and rivers that Yang Wanli obtained.

Although incomplete, it is still incredibly powerful.

It was also Yang Wanli's trump card.

Ye Chen initially wanted to refuse, but when he saw that it was a painting, he became interested.

"Let me see!"

Ye Chen took the Map of Mountains and Rivers and slowly opened it.

Ye Chen's eyes lit up.

However, Ye Chen soon frowned slightly.

"What a pity about this painting; it must be the work of a famous artist."

"But you didn't preserve it properly, which greatly damaged its value."

"It looks like we'll have to put in some effort to fix it."
