Supreme Sword God

At the location of the stone archway representing the entrance and exit of the Celestial Essence Sacred Land, two faint fluctuations appeared.

"Bang! Bang!"

The bodies of Huang Yu and Luo Wen flew out, landing at Luo Kuan’s feet.

"Luo Wen!"

Luo Kuan immediately picked up Luo Wen, but no matter how he called, he couldn’t wake him up.

He was hanging by a thread, on the brink of life and death!

Beside him, Qiao the Sixth had a complicated expression.

He more or less understood why Shi Fengchun had no intention of staying here; evidently, this result was within Shi Fengchun’s expectations.

The people of East Desolate City were stuck knowing Ye Chen at the battle where he killed Ling Fei from the Hundred Spirits Race.

In fact, Ye Chen’s combat strength was far stronger than he displayed.

The Huang Yu that the Luo Family brought in was an elder figure, stuck at the Peak of Heaven-Reaching Realm and Peak of Eighth Rank Earth Seal Spirit Master for many years. Though his realm hadn’t advanced, his blend of spiritual and martial strength was well-honed. He was a much stronger opponent than Ling Fei of the Hundred Spirits Race.

Along with Luo Wen, a direct descendant of the Luo Family, at the Peak of Six Caves to Heaven, also a genius stronger than Ling Fei of the Hundred Spirits Race.

However, even the combined efforts of Huang Yu and Luo Wen were defeated by Ye Chen!

Judging by the wounds on their bodies, Qiao the Sixth was almost certain that they were cut down by Ye Chen as soon as they entered the Celestial Essence Sacred Land!

At this moment, Luo Kuan was so angry that his features were distorted.

The Luo Family borrowed a place from other powerful figures of the True Martial Hall to enter the Celestial Essence Sacred Land, intending to block Ye Chen, but instead, three entered, and three were left crippled by Ye Chen, saving them was just wasting resources!

Just then.

Another faint fluctuation emanated from within the stone archway.

Ye Chen’s figure flashed, floating out effortlessly.

"Ye Chen, die for me!"

Luo Kuan roared, throwing a punch, activating the Flame Law.

To him, Ye Chen already had the enmity of killing his son, and the rage-clouded Luo Kuan desperately wanted to kill Ye Chen immediately!

"Boom!"

Before Luo Kuan’s Flame Law could land on Ye Chen.

Qiao the Sixth snorted coldly, and the invincible might of the Emperor Realm Powerhouse swept out, instantly shattering Luo Kuan’s Flame Law, blasting Luo Kuan away.

"Boom!"

Thunder roared in the sky, terrifying lightning pierced through space, crashing down towards Luo Kuan.

At the same time, a figure swiftly appeared in front of the lightning, striking it with a palm, dispersing the lightning.

This was an elder-looking man, with graying hair and beard.

"Shi Fengchun, do you intend to kill Luo Kuan?" the elder looked into the distance and said coldly.

"He wanted to kill Ye Chen, so I wanted to kill him, why not?" Shi Fengchun walked over from afar, appearing in the scene in an instant.

"Hall Master Shi, if you had come a little later, I’d be dead." Ye Chen shouted.

Qiao the Sixth glanced at Ye Chen.

Rascal, what nonsense are you spouting?

I’m a dignified Emperor Realm Powerhouse here, do you think I can’t protect you? Am I inferior to Shi Fengchun?

Shi Fengchun looked at Ye Chen, smiling, "Not bad, Celestial Essence Body, breaking through two realms, found how many Celestial Essence Fruits?"

Ye Chen laughed, "Nine."

Upon hearing this, Qiao the Sixth, and the elder who came out to protect Luo Kuan were both astonished!

Even if Ye Chen could enter the Unity Realm and Heaven-Reaching Realm areas of the Celestial Essence Sacred Land, the total number of Celestial Essence Fruits from both areas was likely just around that...

The key is, finding nine Celestial Essence Fruits in half a month’s time is unbelievable.

For others entering the Celestial Essence Sacred Land, finding one Celestial Essence Fruit within seven days was considered lucky, and finding two was already enviable!

Shi Fengchun smiled, looking towards the gray-haired and bearded elder, "Seventh Elder, what is the meaning of you coming out when Luo Jianren didn’t?"

"As the Seventh Elder, it’s natural for me to intervene when something goes against the rules of the True Martial Hall, Shi Fengchun, don’t take your Great Saint cultivation as a reason to act recklessly here at the main hall!"

Shi Fengchun sneered coldly, "The one breaking the rules is Luo Kuan, right? He’s in the Saint Realm, while my Cangzhou True Martial Hall’s Ye Chen is just a small Unity Realm, Luo Kuan’s attempts to kill Ye Chen, since the Seventh Elder wants to manage, then manage it all together."

Qiao the Sixth also said, "Seventh Elder, deep down you should know very well what happened here, or should I explain it again?"

Seventh Elder’s face changed dramatically, then said, "The True Martial Hall has always had an unwritten rule, when the descendant of an Elder errs, the Elder must punish and handle it first. If the handling is unjust, other Elders will intervene.

Luo Kuan’s actions indeed were inappropriate, but he should first be punished by the Second Elder, I shall take him to the Second Elder, and if the result is unsatisfactory, you can raise an objection with the Elder Council!"

Saying this, the Seventh Elder took Luo Kuan and the others away together.

Qiao the Sixth and Shi Fengchun did not stop them.

Once they had left.

Shi Fengchun approached Ye Chen and said, "The bait, has it been cast?"

Ye Chen replied, "Just waiting for the worthless fish to take the bait!"

Qiao the Sixth said, "Let’s go, to the Dao Rhythms Spirit Pool!"

A moment later.

Qiao the Sixth and Shi Fengchun brought Ye Chen to a small island floating in the sky.

Flying above the small island, Ye Chen looked down and found that it resembled a large sea bowl.

Though called a spirit pool, it was actually quite expansive.

The Dao Rhythms Spirit Pool is generally used by Spirit Masters to etch Dao patterns for sainthood, but even Spirit Masters who haven’t reached that step can gain substantial benefits in the pool.

Because it contains a kind of energy with a strong nurturing effect on the Spirit Seal, it can accelerate the progression of spirit patterns within the Spirit Seal!

"There’s half a month until the Grand Assembly of Hundred Races, weigh your time wisely. If you don’t wish to participate, you can stay in there longer," Shi Fengchun said.

Ye Chen chuckled, "My ambition isn’t big, reaching the Peak of Tier Seven Spirit Master is enough."

The transition from Tier Seven to Eight requires outlining eighty-one filaments of blade spirit patterns to integrate into the Unique Spirit Seal, which takes time. Since I’ve come to East Desolate City, attending the Grand Assembly of Hundred Races is a must.

"It’s also unwise to stay in too long. Don’t be blinded by quick gains, pursuing speed excessively can leave drawbacks. Normally, the main hall strictly controls the number of entrances to the Dao Rhythms Spirit Pool, allowing entry only once every ten years."

Ye Chen nodded, "Sixth Elder, Brother Chun, I’ll head in first."

With that, Ye Chen’s figure flashed and he dashed into the Dao Rhythms Spirit Pool.

Upon entering, he immediately sensed that pure energy, his Sea of Consciousness erupted as the Unique Spirit Seal vibrated, sweeping a vast amount of energy into his Sea of Consciousness, nurturing the Unique Spirit Seal.

The Unique Spirit Seal radiated golden light, illuminating Ye Chen’s Sea of Consciousness with its splendor, before the golden light emerged from between Ye Chen’s brows, enveloping his whole body, as if clad in golden armor.

"The energy here is insufficient, this is merely a training area for Tier Seven Spirit Masters— I need to reach the Tier Eight training area!" Ye Chen muttered, delving deeper into the Dao Rhythms Spirit Pool!

Soon, an invisible barrier appeared before him, Ye Chen’s Extreme Celestial Spirit Seal burst forth, tearing through the barrier, and entering the Tier Eight training area.

The surrounding energy’s abundance greatly increased, Ye Chen immediately sat down cross-legged, absorbing with full force.

The golden light emanating from his brow became sharper and more dazzling, as did its intensity!

Meanwhile.

In the courtyard where Second Elder Luo Jianren resided, Luo Kuan knelt on the ground, filled with grief and indignation, shouting, "Ancestor, Ye Chen is too arrogant, we can’t let him continue to flaunt, if Ye Chen isn’t killed, our Luo Family will be utterly ridiculed!"
