Chapter: 5122

When Qiu Zhiyuan regained consciousness, he stared at Ye Chen with a shocked face, blurted out, "What have you done to me?"

Ye Chen pointed to Wan Paojun beside him and asked, "Do you still recognize this person?"

Qiu Zhiyuan only looked at Wan Paojun and was completely stunned, his eyes wide open in shock!

He stared at Wan Paojun for a long time before finally asking in shock, "You... are Wan Paojun?"

" Wan Paojun fell to one knee, bowing respectfully and saying, 'Master, it's your disciple, Wan Paojun!' "

Qiu Zhiyuan looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "What... what kind of cultivation are you doing now? Why can't I sense any more? Could it be... could it be that you've already transcended the boundary of the vast emptiness?"

Wan Paojun looked at Ye Chen and said honestly, "Master, my disciple is fortunate to have received guidance from Mr. Ye, and has already entered the realm."

"What?! " Qiu Zhiyuan was taken aback despite having subconsciously expected it, but hearing Wan Paojun say it aloud still left him in shock.

He stared at Wan Paojun with wide eyes and muttered, "This... this is simply impossible! I've been stuck in the vast emptiness for nearly thirty years and couldn't break through. You and I are only a year apart, and yet you've managed to breakthrough from an eight-star warrior and enter the realm?!"

Wan Paojun bowed respectfully and said, "Master, my disciple just explained that everything is due to Mr. Ye's providence."

Having finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, aren't you going to cloud-dwelling now? Why are you here?"

Qiu Zhiyuan had already realized that the mysterious young man in front of him, referred to by Wan Paojun as Mr. Ye, must be a high-level expert with divine powers. He had just been controlled by him and saw that his abilities were already far surpassing his own.

Hearing that he had given Wan Paojun such great providence, he couldn't help but ask respectfully, "Mr. Ye, I don't know what your identity is."

Ye Chen said calmly, "My identity is not something you have the qualifications to question."

As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, he asked calmly, "Wan Paojun, you just asked me questions, and I haven't answered yet."

Qiu Zhiyuan's whole body shook with surprise, quickly saying, "I entered the world to wander, intending to find an opportunity to break through to the great round of clarity. By chance, I met the prefect of this place in the north, who saw that my cultivation had already reached the great round of clarity and encouraged me to join the Breakthrough Alliance. He also promised that after I served for three years, he would recommend me to join the Tiger Guard Regiment. My brain was heated, and I agreed, but I didn't think that joining the Breakthrough Alliance would require taking a special poison and using an antidote for life to stay alive……"

Wan Paojun asked in surprise, "Master, what is the Tiger Guard Regiment?"

Qiu Zhiyuan explained, "The Tiger Guard Regiment is the base where the Breakthrough Alliance cultivates high-level experts. Each warrior who has reached the great round of clarity can smoothly break through and enter the realm of darkness after joining the Tiger Guard Regiment……"

Wan Paojun couldn't help but say, "Master, based on my current understanding of this organization, it seems that this organization with a history of several hundred years is very evil. Why would you want to join such an organization and sell your life for them?"

Qiu Zhiyuan shook his head and sighed, "Because I want to break through! For many years, I was a talented warrior who could climb the ranks quickly, reaching the great round of clarity by the time I was in my thirties. But who would have thought that after reaching this state of clarity, I would be stuck for thirty years? This thirty-year period has been filled with thoughts of breaking through to the next level, but it's so difficult that I haven't been able to fulfill my wish……"

As he spoke, Qiu Zhiyuan added, "The Breakthrough Alliance promised me that they could help me break through to the realm of darkness. At that moment, I had no hesitation and agreed immediately. For me, this is my lifetime goal - to be able to enter the realm of darkness. Such an unparalleled opportunity, how could I not seize it……"

When he finished speaking, Qiu Zhiyuan couldn't help but ask Wan Paojun, "Wan Paojun, why are you here? Have the Wan Dragon Temple and the Breakthrough Alliance become enemies?"

Wan Paojun bowed his hands towards Ye Chen, respectfully saying, "Return to Master, my disciple has sworn allegiance to Mr. Ye and will serve him loyally. That's why I'm here - because Mr. Ye wants to thoroughly eliminate the Breakthrough Alliance!"

Qiu Zhiyuan looked at Ye Chen with a subconscious expression, speaking truthfully, "This young brother, although I've only been in the Breakthrough Alliance for a year, it's like looking at a leopard from its stripes - once you understand something, you can grasp the whole. The strength of the Breakthrough Alliance is far greater than that of the Wan Dragon Temple, with nearly one hundred high-level experts and even rumored to have transcendent masters. This kind of strength is not something that the Wan Dragon Temple can shake off, like a cicada trying to shake off a tree - it's completely unable to withstand!"

Ye Chen listened to these words and smiled slightly, saying calmly: "Even if it's a tree that touches the heavens, what does that matter? I will cut off all its branches and roots, and then trample it beneath my feet!" JrNovels.com
