The crimson rock square, stretching as far as the eye could see, was almost completely packed with people.
Spaceships continuously emerged from the violently distorted and fluctuating space, quickly becoming smaller, while the figures within them continuously dropped from the sky like beans...
In the crowd, many young people with childish faces were observing everything around them with great interest, and beside them were their elders.
During the public assessment, even young alchemists who were not qualified to participate would be brought by their elders to watch.
There aren't many opportunities to see so many talented alchemists gathered together!
"Ancestor, look, there are so many alchemists..."
A young man who had just gotten off a spaceship was suddenly stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
Beside him, an old man in the robes of a sixth-rank alchemist stroked his beard and smiled. "Haha, silly boy," he said. "This is Shengdan City, the holy land of all alchemists. Nearly 90% of the alchemists in the entire Central Plains gather here. How crowded is that?"
The young man nodded repeatedly, remembering that he was also one of the other party. He immediately held his head high and chest out, trying hard to show the badge of a first-grade alchemist hanging on his chest.
Just as the grandfather and grandson were about to leave the square and head to the outer city of Shengdan City to find a place to stay, a violent spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in the distant sky behind them, and then a special silver "space ship" appeared in the sky...
This "spaceship" was special because after leaving the space channel, the hull of the spaceship remained unchanged. However, when everyone looked closely, they discovered that the ship was actually being carried by a giant python tens of meters long...
"Wow! What is that?" the boy couldn't help but exclaim.
The old ancestor beside him also stared at this scene with his eyes wide open. He wondered what kind of magical beast this was that could actually carry a spaceship through a space wormhole...
Of course, although many people do not know the true appearance of the giant snake, the green leaf patterns on the hull indicate the identity of the people on the ship.
"It's someone from the Ye family!"
The five major families in Danyu, Dancao Ye Qiubai, each of them is a behemoth in Danyu that countless people look up to.
What's more, the Ye family played a big role in causing such a sensation in this public assessment, so the special spaceship with the Ye family logo suddenly appeared at this time, which immediately attracted the attention of countless eyes in the entire square.
Ye Chen and his grandson in the boat didn't care about the noise outside.
Ye Zhong glanced at his grandson across from him and said, "We've been traveling all day. Let's go to Yeyuan and rest for a while. Tomorrow I'll take you to the testing point in Danta to upgrade your alchemist badge."
Currently, Ye Chen's alchemist badge is still the fifth-grade alchemist badge he obtained in Danta more than a year ago. Because he does not plan to take the same special assessment route as Cao Ying, he needs to obtain the qualification of a sixth-grade alchemist before that.
Ye Chen naturally had no objection to this and replied, "It's all up to Grandpa to arrange."
In the eyes of everyone, the flying snake carrying the big ship quickly disappeared into the sky. Half an hour later, it landed at Yeyuan in the southern part of the outer area of Shengdan City.
…
…
As time passed, the night slowly poured down from the sky, wrapping the entire Shengdan City in the hazy night.
In a small courtyard of Yeyuan, Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the bright stars in the sky. After a long time, his brows slowly furrowed.
"According to the original novel, the Three Thousand Flames should have been sealed by the Dan Pagoda within the star field above Shengdan City. With my current spiritual power, I can't even sense the slightest abnormality."
With my current physique and the special existence of the Star Abundance Map, it shouldn't be that Xiao Yan in the original novel could sense that star field, but I can't do it...
As he gazed intently, he finally noticed something unusual. The night sky of Shengdan City seemed even more unreal than the night skies of other places...
"Is this... a seal?"
This discovery made Ye Chen happy. He didn't expect that he could actually see the difference in this star field.
But that's all. No matter his current level of cultivation or soul realm, they are too far behind and it is impossible for him to touch that seal.
However, Ye Chen, who had been focusing on the starry sky, did not notice that he had been surrounded by a layer of dazzling starlight since some time. Almost all the star power in the world was attracted to him, illuminating the area hundreds of meters around him as if it were daytime.
That is because there is no human habitation within a ten-mile radius of Ye Courtyard, so no one except the Ye family members in the courtyard noticed this abnormal phenomenon.
At this moment, Ye Zhong, startled, had already hurried over. He looked at his grandson, who stood there motionless, like a bright light bulb, from a distance. He immediately stopped everyone from approaching and ordered people to block off the area around Ye Courtyard, forbidding anyone to disturb him...
"This kid is really good at making trouble." Ye Chong said softly, and left with a happy face.
Ye Chen was unaware of all this, because at this moment he was completely attracted by the sky above his head.
Although Ye Chen's current soul power was still unable to reach the seal on the sky, the sky was actively accepting him, as if it wanted to lead his soul to the star realm...
This scene suddenly reminded Ye Chen of the acquired ancient star body he had obtained. One of the features in the introduction was "Star Power Affinity"!
Originally, Ye Chen thought that this so-called star power affinity was just to make it easier for him to absorb the star power that permeated the heaven and earth...
But this scene now made him truly realize what a perverted ability this so-called "Star Power Affinity" is!
"I feel like at this moment, I can easily become one with the starry sky..."
This is the only feeling in Ye Chen's heart at this moment!
This state lasted for an unknown amount of time, but Ye Chen suddenly found himself as if he had entered an unknown space. He was startled, and when he came to his senses, he saw a seemingly endless giant dragon coiling in his field of vision. Its pupils were tightly closed, and a strange purple-black flame swirled around its body...
The moment Ye Chen saw the scene clearly, the pupils of the giant dragon gold coin suddenly opened, and a terrifying pressure descended upon Ye Chen in an instant. The huge impact almost made him collapse...
A terrifying dragon roar sounded from his soul, instantly knocking Ye Chen out of his previous state.
"That's... Three Thousand Flames?!"
