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

Chapter 1228 You're Unworthy

Although Meng Haoran was arrogant and looked down on everyone else, he was still very proud of himself.

But he is not the kind of person who is ignorant and incompetent. He is no ordinary person who can sit in charge of the Tongbao Pavilion in the Chaotic Immortal Realm.

Meng Haoran was not only a master of chess, but also a master appraiser of antiques.

His knowledge and insight are exceptionally profound.

They lived even longer and had a wider range of knowledge.

Although Meng Haoran had never seen the Devouring Ancestral Dragon, he had learned about its existence from ancient books.

Meng Haoran knew that the Dragon Clan suffered heavy losses during the Great Calamity of the Primordial Era.

Almost all of the major ancestral dragons perished.

This is what led to the current state of the dragon race's utter decline.

The Devouring Ancestral Dragon was a terrifying being among the progenitors of the dragon race, extremely skilled in combat, and possessed unparalleled strength.

The Devouring Ancestral Dragon was a transcendent being.

Now, Meng Haoran actually saw a phantom image inside the broken ancient cauldron. Although he had some doubts, he couldn't produce any evidence for the time being.

Meng Haoran even wanted to rub his eyes to see if he was hallucinating.

However, Meng Haoran found that he was completely unable to move. The dragon's might emanating from the essence blood completely suppressed him.

At this moment, Meng Haoran felt with horror that his soul seemed to be annihilating.

If we don't resolve our current predicament, we will surely die.

"The Ancestral Dragon is the Devouring Ancestral Dragon."

"No, that's not right!"

"Not the Devouring Ancestral Dragon?"

"This is...this is the Slaughtering Ancestral Dragon."

Xiao Tiandao possessed the bloodline of the Blood Dragon, and upon seeing the dragon's shadow, he immediately realized what was happening and his face lit up with excitement.

Although Xiao Tiandao was also suppressed, he did not suffer as much as Meng Haoran.

Xiao Tiandao was right next to Ye Chen at that moment, and most of the dragon's might was blocked, making him feel much better.

Xiao Tiandao suddenly remembered Ye Chen's words earlier: Ye Chen said that he was just an ordinary person and useless to him.

Xiao Tiandao knew that this was an opportunity bestowed upon him by Ye Chen.

"It's my chance, it's my chance!"

"Fellow Daoist Xiao is right. As long as the expert is happy, the opportunity will come!"

"This time, I was used as a pawn by a master to eliminate the root of the chaos. It seems this is my reward."

"The essence blood of the Slaughtering Ancestral Dragon, the essence blood of the Slaughtering Ancestral Dragon!"

At this moment, Xiao Tiandao's heart was pounding violently.

It looked as if it was about to burst out.

"I knew it!"

"A drop of blood, dead for countless years, can still conjure up a phantom image."

"incredible!"

Just as Meng Haoran was about to give up, Ye Chen reached out and touched the phantom, and the phantom of the Slaughtering Ancestral Dragon disappeared instantly.

As long as the essence blood of the Slaughtering Ancestral Dragon hovered quietly in front of his eyes.

The terrifying divine power it contained vanished.

Hu Hu Hu.

escape.

Meng Haoran's heart trembled violently at this moment, and the way he looked at Ye Chen completely changed.

Meng Haoran discovered that the reason why the dragon shadow and dragon might disappeared was because they were suppressed by the invisible aura that Ye Chen had just emitted.

The mere aura was enough to suppress him to the point of near annihilation of his soul.

Ye Chen suppressed them with a wave of his hand, demonstrating his terrifying power.

"Master!"

"He is indeed a master."

"I······"

While Meng Haoran was shocked by the Ancestral Dragon Blood, he was also gripped by fear because of Ye Chen.

The Ancestral Dragon's Soul—what an existence it was! Yet, when faced with Ye Chen, the Ancestral Dragon's Soul was terrified and trembling.

Even if Meng Haoran was stupid, he eventually realized what was happening.

Meng Haoran himself had appraised this divine cauldron before the auction.

Meng Haoran was extremely frightened at this moment.

At the same time, I was deeply shocked.

He stammered, "Fellow Daoist, how did you know it contained dragon blood? Could you possibly see through this thing?"

At this moment, Xiao Tiandao also looked at Ye Chen with curiosity.

Ye Chen smiled slightly.

"I am indeed a mortal, but I have some tricks up my sleeve that allow me to see this cauldron."

"As for why the dragon blood was hidden in the cauldron, it's not that magical."

"Dragon blood is an extremely yang substance. When it is first born, it can melt everything. This cauldron has absorbed the dragon blood, so naturally a part of it will be melted, and the dragon blood will be encapsulated in the cauldron."

"It's not caused by human intervention, but rather it happens naturally."

"Therefore, no trace can be seen."

"Moreover, this medicine cauldron suffered an extremely powerful impact, was severely damaged, and is even more difficult to detect any traces of damage."

Ye Chen gave an explanation.

Actually, this was the scene Ye Chen had seen before.

No wonder.

At this moment, Meng Haoran finally understood why he couldn't sense anything unusual about the medicine cauldron.

"Ok?"

"This is?"

Meng Haoran immediately picked up the fragments of the medicine cauldron in front of him, his eyes shining.

At this moment, Meng Haoran naturally realized that the fragments of the medicine cauldron contained divine substances.

Even the fragments are extremely extraordinary.

Ye Chen noticed that Meng Haoran seemed to be quite knowledgeable.

He smiled and said, "This medicine cauldron is no ordinary object, but it's now ruined. Otherwise, it would have been very powerful and could have devoured this dragon."

"It's probably an extremely powerful divine weapon!"

Ye Chen explained it casually.

At the same time, Ye Chen activated his power of merit, restoring the medicine cauldron to its original state before Meng Haoran's eyes.

Although it was just a phantom, Meng Haoran and Xiao Tiandao trembled violently after just one glance.

"This is, this is the Earth Emperor Cauldron."

He looked terrified.

His face was full of disbelief.

Meng Haoran, in particular, felt like dying at this moment, having actually identified the Earth Emperor Cauldron as a piece of junk.

The Earth Emperor Cauldron was forged by incorporating countless divine substances.

Xiao Tiandao's eyes gleamed, and with a wave of his hand, he collected all the fragments in front of him, even taking away the fragments that Meng Haoran had received.

Xiao Tiandao knew very well that these fragments contained terrifying divine substances, enough for him to forge a powerful natal divine weapon.

"Brother Ye!"

At this moment, Xiao Tiandao looked at the dragon blood floating in front of him with anticipation.

"Take it, I have no use for it!"

Ye Chen was very casual.

Upon hearing this, Meng Haoran trembled violently.

Completely unexpectedly, Ye Chen said he couldn't use the blood of the Ancestral Dragon.

Under Meng Haoran's stunned gaze, Xiao Tiandao excitedly accepted it.

Meng Haoran's face turned pale.

At this moment, Meng Haoran understood perfectly how terrifying Ye Chen was.

This is definitely not showing off. If it were, Meng Haoran would think Ye Chen was an idiot.

But looking at Ye Chen's nonchalant demeanor, Meng Haoran immediately understood that Ye Chen truly didn't care.

this moment.

Meng Haoran was truly uneasy.

Little brat, now you know how powerful I am!

Xiao Tiandao looked at Meng Haoran and smiled.

His face was full of disdain.

This is a classic example of "if you don't court death, you won't die."

Ye Chen watched the subsequent auctions, but he wasn't very interested. There was no chance of finding a bargain; the items were all ordinary.

Ye Chen stopped paying attention and suddenly felt that this auction, apart from showing off, didn't seem to be very interesting.

Ye Chen, on the other hand, has always kept a low profile.

Let's start chatting now.

Meanwhile, Meng Haoran, who was standing to the side, felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw that Ye Chen was ignoring him.

Meng Haoran's stubborn temper soon resurfaced.

Mustering his courage, he said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, I heard that you are good at playing chess. Would you like to play a game today?"

Meng Haoran, who had never been defeated, could no longer hold back.

I believe that for a cultivator, dying on the path of cultivation is an honor.

"Playing chess?"

Are you sure about your chess skills?

Ye Chen was a little annoyed. He had originally wanted to play a game with Meng Haoran, but the bastard had refused. Now, however, he had brought it up again.

Ye Chen looked disgusted and showed no politeness whatsoever.

Ye Chen had absolute confidence in his chess skills.

"Not bad, I haven't lost a single time in all these years."

"Therefore, he earned the title of 'half a move ahead of Heaven'."

"Today, I only seek defeat!"

At this moment, Meng Haoran dared not be arrogant anymore.

Ye Chen's methods were terrifying. Meng Haoran knew that his understanding of the Dao was definitely not as good as Li Yixi's, but after realizing Ye Chen's strength, he couldn't help but react.

"Are you seeking defeat?"

"Since that's the case, I'll grant your wish!"

Ye Chen was completely unceremonious.

Extremely confident.

Upon hearing this, Meng Haoran's eyes lit up, and he felt that his opportunity had arrived.

Only by encountering an incomparably powerful being can one become stronger and witness a greater path.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

Meng Haoran was very excited. He immediately put down the chessboard in his arms and took out the chess pieces.

"you first!"

Ye Chen spoke calmly to Meng Haoran.

"it is good!"

At this moment, Meng Haoran's entire demeanor changed.

They became incredibly solemn, their previous arrogance and domineering demeanor completely gone.

A chess piece is placed on the chessboard.

The moment Meng Haoran placed his chess piece, Xiao Tiandao's eyes lit up, wanting to see how much difference there was between Meng Haoran's understanding of the Great Dao and Ye Chen's.

Meng Haoran struggled to place his piece, while Ye Chen placed his piece with incredible speed.

Originally, Meng Haoran was confident in his own Dao of Imprisonment.

However, soon, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Meng Haoran's forehead.

His face was deathly pale.

Suddenly, Meng Haoran's once-confident and unyielding Dao became riddled with holes.

He discovered that his own path was broken and dilapidated.

They were utterly helpless in front of Ye Chen.

However, after discovering the flaws in his own Dao, Meng Haoran's eyes lit up. Ye Chen was terrifying, and at the same time, this was an unparalleled opportunity for him.

This will allow him to discover the shortcomings in his own path and then improve upon them.

Meng Haoran had a feeling that if he could verify what he had learned today, it might be his chance to take a step towards transcendence.

"Senior, I admit defeat."

At this moment, Meng Haoran could no longer hold on.

The only option is to admit defeat.

"Can you say that you've outmaneuvered fate?"

At this moment, Ye Chen frowned and just looked at Meng Haoran.

Meng Haoran looked extremely embarrassed.

"Your chess skills are not even as good as my pageboy's. My pageboy is only a teenager."

"From now on, stop using those intimidating titles!"

Ye Chen looked genuinely disgusted.

Ye Chen felt that playing chess with Wang Lin was more comfortable than playing chess with Meng Haoran; Meng Haoran was too useless.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Reprimanded by Ye Chen, Meng Haoran was extremely nervous and nodded hurriedly.

Seeing that Ye Chen had withdrawn his disdainful gaze, Meng Haoran knew this was his chance, and he pleaded, "Senior, how about we play another round?"

Meng Haoran's eyes were filled with pleading; whether he could advance further depended on Ye Chen.

"Sorry, not interested."

"You do not deserve!"

Ye Chen looked disgusted.

Ye Chen was initially disappointed, thinking he would finally have a chance to put his skills to good use, only to find that he was just toying with children.

Moreover, Ye Chen recalled Meng Haoran's previous arrogance.

They didn't give me a friendly look.

Meng Haoran, who had been looking forward to this, turned deathly pale upon hearing this.

Meng Haoran realized it was too late; he would be forever trapped in Ye Chen's shadow.

Perhaps, it will be difficult to make any further progress.

At this moment, Meng Haoran looked terrified.

They didn't dare to utter a sound.

Xiao Tiandao's lips moved, but he chose to give up.

I had already warned Meng Haoran, but he still provoked me. This is the cause and effect.

Xiao Tiandao felt only slight sympathy.

Thinking about what he had gained today, Xiao Tiandao's eyes shone brightly.

His face was beaming with joy.
