    Amidst speaking, Mu Qingqing held the snow-white marten and flew toward Ye Chen.


    "A girl''s voice?"


    Listening to the charming voiceing over, Ye Chen was startled.


    He had considered the possibility that Heavenly Saint might be driving these high and mid-rank Demon Kings from behind, but he never expected to hear such a young voice.


    When Mu Qingqing, holding the snow-white marten, came into Ye Chen''s view, he was even more bemused.


    The young girl in front of him seemed even younger than him—not at all like a Heavenly Saint, but clearly exuding the early stage aura of the Spirit Sea Realm.


    Could it be that this young girl was driving the eighteen Demon Kings to encircle him?


    Impossible, right?


    Ye Chen''s gaze then shifted to the snow-white marten cradled in the girl''s arms, and with this look, a bright light shed in Ye Chen''s eyes!


    The snow-white marten was now sleepily squinting its eyes as if dozing off, yet Ye Chen could feel a force of Heavenly Sainting from this little creature!


    He then remembered the peculiar marten call that had set all the Demon Kings in motion before.


    Ye Chen''s heart shook—could it be that this marten had reached the Heavenly Saint Realm, and the girl was driving the eighteen Demon Kings through this marten?


    But, the Heavenly Saint Realm—that''s an incredibly powerful level, so how could it be held by a girl in the early stages of the Spirit Sea Realm?


    Ye Chen was somewhat confused.


    "Hehe, your name is Ye Chen, right? I''m Mu Qingqing. You can call me ''Qingqing.'' Ye Chen, you''re really amazing," said Mu Qingqing as she flew about and, in just a moment,nded not far in front of Ye Chen, then she took a few steps toward him.


    The agility of Mu Qingqing''s movement also made Ye Chen take notice; he saw that this girl, who was merely in the early stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, flew at a speed that was no slower than his own.


    "Mu Qingqing? Is it you whomanded the eighteen Demon Kings to battle me?" Ye Chen asked the young girl, "What do you want by blocking my way?"


    Ye Chen noticed that when the girl with the snow-white marten descended, those ten high-rank Demon Kings that had been pursuing him had suddenly stopped their chase and stayed quietly behind.


    "Yes, it was me. I had the marten summon some Demon Kings to fight you."


    "Is there something you need? Of course, there is something, Ye Chen—it''s a great opportunity for you."


    Looking toward Ye Chen with a pair of lively eyes, Mu Qingqing giggled and continued, "Ye Chen, you''ve passed my test. I would like to invite you to join our ''Heavenly Sacred Pce''!"


    "A test?"


    Ye Chen was taken aback.


    Could the battle with the eighteen Demon Kings have been a test?


    But what is the "Heavenly Sacred Pce"?


    Ye Chen had learned of many sects within the three great kingdoms of the central domain from the Barbaric Wilderness Mountain and Sea Map, but he had never heard of the Heavenly Sacred Pce.


    While Ye Chen was still pondering, the ten high-rank Demon Kings behind him were all shocked upon hearing the three words "Heavenly Sacred Pce."


    "My lord, so you are from the Heavenly Sacred Pce!"


    The Giant Mountain Ape Monster looked at Mu Qingqing, its eyes darting cautiously to the snow-white marten in Mu Qingqing''s arms, trembling with excitement as it spoke.


    It wasn''t just the Giant Mountain Ape Monster; the other high-rank Demon Kings were also extremely excited: "Heavenly Sacred Pce, inviting this young one to join! Could it be, my lord, that you are an Envoy of the Heavenly Sacred Pce?"


    While speaking, the Demon Kings'' eyes turned toward Ye Chen, filled with great envy: "This young one has hit the jackpot, being invited by the Heavenly Sacred Pce!"


    "However, with his strength, it''s indeed possible that the Heavenly Sacred Pce would take notice!"


    The words of the ten high-rank Demon Kings made Ye Chen even more confused.


    What exactly is this Heavenly Sacred Pce that has these high-rank Great Demons so astonished?


    Seeing the utterly surprised expressions of the ten high-rank Great Demons, Mu Qingqing smiled and nodded, but when she looked at Ye Chen again, she saw that he was still somewhat bewildered. Mu Qingqing pouted her rosy lips, "Ye Chen, you don''t know about the ''Heavenly Sacred Pce''?"


    Ye Chen shook his head: "I''ve juste to the central domain from the Southern Territory; I really don''t know."


    Before Mu Qingqing could exin the Heavenly Sacred Pce to Ye Chen, the Giant Mountain Ape Monster already spoke out: "Young one, you don''t know the Heavenly Sacred Pce! It''s the number one sect among the three great dynasties of the central domain, a legendary second-rank sect! The best ce for cultivation!"


    The number one sect of the three great kingdoms of the central domain!


    The words of the Giant Mountain Ape Monster took Ye Chen by surprise.


    Ye Chen had seen in the Barbaric Wilderness Mountain and Sea Map that within the Great Xia Dynasty, one of the three great kingdoms, there was a supremely powerful sect—a second-rank sect that was hidden from the world and hardly ever appeared, let alone partake in the countless struggles of the sects within the three great kingdoms.


    Unexpectedly, this second-rank sect turned out to be the "Heavenly Sacred Pce" the girl had referred to?!


    Now, the number one sect of the central domain, a legendary second-rank sect, was inviting him to join?


    ```


    Thispletely took Ye Chen by surprise.


    One must know that a second-tier sect is guarded by ate-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouse.


    Ate-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouse is truly one of the most formidable individuals on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent. Such beings can only be surpassed by first-tier sects in the Upper Realm''s Minor Spirit Realm, where the Void Sky True Gods reside.


    In the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, that is indeed the most powerful force!


    No matter what, Ye Chen could not have imagined that on his way to join the third-tier Tai''a Sword Sect, he would be invited to join a second-tier sect.


    This was really too surprising.


    Seeing Ye Chen''s shocked and surprised expression, Mu Qingqing smiled and said, "Ye Chen, there''s no need to be surprised. ''Heavenly Sacred Pce'' is a hidden sect that rarely recruits disciples. Only when the Envoys travel the world and see a warrior that they like will they invite them to join."


    "On this trip out of ''Heavenly Sacred Pce'', I am in the role of an Envoy, looking to select a martial artist to join the sect. I noticed your talents back at the Seventy-Third Crossing and have followed you all the way here to the Tai''a Sword Sect before I really made up my mind to invite you."


    "You noticed me since the Seventy-Third Crossing?" Ye Chen was startled.


    Throughout his journey, he had always felt as if he was being followed. A few times, he even intentionally stopped and surveyed his surroundings, but discovered nothing unusual.


    Ye Chen had thought it was just his imagination, but it turned out someone had indeed been following him—this girl?


    "My Divine Sense covers a vast area, and my flying speed is quite fast for someone in the Spirit Sea Realm. How did you keep up with me?" Ye Chen asked the girl.


    With a cunning sparkle in her eyes, Mu Qingqing gently smiled, "I admit you are very powerful, but I am also a disciple of ''Heavenly Sacred Pce'', and naturally, I have my own methods."


    "Ye Chen, if you join ''Heavenly Sacred Pce'', you will understand these methods in the future."


    Ye Chen pondered for a moment.


    He came to the Central Region this time at the introduction of Fairy Jia Luo to cultivate in the Tai''a Sword Sect, a great third-tier sect, and of course, he was willing to cultivate there.


    And now, "Heavenly Sacred Pce," the strongest second-tier sect of not only the Central Region but perhaps the entire Barbaric Wilderness Continent, had also invited him to join. A second-tier sect, that''s wherete-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses resided. It was impossible for Ye Chen not to be tempted.


    However, Ye Chen still had some concerns.


    On one hand, he knew very little about Heavenly Sacred Pce; on the other, Jiang Yao had not yet awakened from her bloodline awakening. Originally, Fairy Jia Luo had arranged for him and Jiang Yao to join the Tai''a Sword Sect together. If he went to the Heavenly Sacred Pce, what would happen to Jiang Yao?


    Ye Chen did not know if Jiang Yao could also go to the Heavenly Sacred Pce to cultivate.


    Seeing Ye Chen still hesitant, the ten high-level Demon Kings beside him appearedpletely irritated as they said, "Little boy, to have the chance to join the Heavenly Sacred Pce, yet you hesitate!"


    "You must know, the Tai''a Sword Sect that we, the Misty Sea Forest, rely on has Elder Xiao Supreme Elder, who is indeed from Heavenly Sacred Pce!"


    "Joining Heavenly Sacred Pce is the dream of every disciple from the central domain''s three great dynasties; it''s a pity the Envoys recruit so seldom. You have this opportunity and still hesitate, it''s definitely not to be missed!"


    "If you don''t go, I would want to go myself!"


    In the end, several of the high-level Demon Kings couldn''t help but p their foreheads,menting that they were not the ones invited.


    The words of the ten Demon Kings made Ye Chen involuntarily smile.


    The Demon Kings of the Misty Sea Forest certainly were interesting.


    But what the ten Demon Kings mentioned, that the most powerful Supreme Elder of the Tai''a Sword Sect was from Heavenly Sacred Pce, caught Ye Chen''s attention. Ye Chen asked Mu Qingqing, "The most powerful Supreme Elder of the Tai''a Sword Sect, that should be a mid-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouse, right? They also joined the Heavenly Sacred Pce?"


    "Ye Chen, you still know too little about ''Heavenly Sacred Pce.''" Mu Qingqing smiled at Ye Chen, "Let me tell you more about the Heavenly Sacred Pce."


    "Heavenly Sacred Pce is named such because, at the very beginning of its establishment, ''Heavenly Sacred Pce'' only recruited Heavenly Saints into the sect!"


    Only recruited Heavenly Saints into the sect!


    Mu Qingqing''s words caused a shock in Ye Chen''s heart; only recruiting Heavenly Saints into the sect, the sect members must all be Heavenly Saints! It goes without saying how powerful such a sect is.


    Ye Chen couldn''t help but want to hear more about the Heavenly Sacred Pce.


    "Heavenly Sacred Pce was established by the three pce masters, all of whom arete-stage Heavenly Saint Realm beings! The three pce masters founded the Heavenly Sacred Pce not for internal affairs, but actually, for external ones!"


    External affairs?


    Externally to where?


    While Ye Chen was still guessing, Mu Qingqing directly revealed, "In our Upper Realm, where the Minor Spirit Realm exists, there are many connections with our Heavenly Sacred Pce, but we''ll talk about thatter."


    "What I mean by external is in reference to the other thirty-two continents that, like our Barbaric Wilderness Continent, belong to the Minor Spirit Realm''s Lower Realm."


    "You must know, the Lower Realm of the Minor Spirit Realm, including the Barbaric Wilderness Continent and the other thirty-two continents, have countless connections, disputes, and evenpetitions!"


    "''Heavenly Sacred Pce'' was founded to select the most outstanding disciples in preparation to face the other thirty-two continents!"


    "It can be said, while other sects strive against countless sects within the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, ''Heavenly Sacred Pce'' represents our Barbaric Wilderness Continent in its struggles against the other thirty-two continents!"


    "The disciples of ''Heavenly Sacred Pce'' face the truly powerful disciples from the other thirty-two continents!"
