Supreme Sword God

"Old... brother?"

Ye Chen continued to call tentatively.

Whether this is Luo Jiutian, cannot be completely confirmed yet.

Although he said the Heavenly Dao Traces on the Celestial Mark Sword were stripped away by him and also mentioned Miss Qing’s name, but... Luo Jiutian is human, and this one before him is of divine race, it’s the embodiment of divine race’s grand Dao!

"Where... did you find this trace of Heavenly Dao?"

The guy suspected to be Luo Jiutian stared at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen felt a strong killing intent from his gaze.

Without waiting for Ye Chen’s answer.

The guy suspected to be Luo Jiutian roared again: "You killed my daughter, you took away my daughter’s Heavenly Dao Traces!"

A terrifying pressure enveloped Ye Chen, rendering him completely unable to move.

Ye Chen burst out with all his strength, and finally managed to speak: "No... it was Miss Qing herself who gave me these Heavenly Dao Traces..."

"Explain it clearly to me!"

The guy suspected to be Luo Jiutian shouted angrily.

Ye Chen: "Would you mind withdrawing some of the pressure? It’s really exhausting to speak like this..."

In the next moment.

The terrifying pressure enveloping Ye Chen suddenly dissipated a lot.

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief and then briefly explained the Sword Tomb’s story.

After finishing.

He shook the pendant on his chest.

Having entered the Void Divine Realm, the Sword Tomb was completely sealed, otherwise, this matter could have been handled better...

"Sword Tomb..."

"I buried the Celestial Demon in the Sword Tomb... Snatched the sky with one sword to extend life... Long Chen... Celestial Deformed Leg..."

Ye Chen: "Hey, are you really Luo Jiutian?"

"Didn’t you say I am your old brother?"

Ye Chen: "... Misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding, you are my master."

He left a unsaid remark.

Might even be a father-in-law one day!

Luo Jiutian was silent for a long time, eyes shimmering as if he had thought of something, then he looked at Ye Chen, shook his head and said: "I am not your master!"

Ye Chen: "You’re not Luo Jiutian?"

"I... am!"

Ye Chen: "I learned your Nine Heavens Sword Manual, thus the master-disciple status is formed, albeit you never taught me before, but it doesn’t matter, you’ll teach me more in the future."

It’s easier if it’s Luo Jiutian.

No matter if his body is divine race or human.

As long as he’s powerful, that’s all that matters!

This is a super strong backer, holding tightly won’t go wrong!

"The Sword Tomb is merely a chip I left for the Epoch Struggle."

Ye Chen: "No matter how you see it, I am certain to consider you my master!"

Luo Jiutian: "In the Epoch Struggle, many leave chips. On you there are traces left by others, must you recognize each as your master?"

Ye Chen: "... Master, in the Epoch Struggle, what is the purpose of leaving chips?"

Luo Jiutian: "Chips are conditions, a matter of cause and effect.

Strategists in the Epoch Struggle are mostly not entities of the current epoch.

However, the Epoch Struggle requires aid from beings of the current epoch to obtain the best opportunity.

When you acquire someone’s chip, at critical moments, you must help!

But the chip I left, our cause and effect has ended.

You have received the Nine Heavens Sword Manual, but you helped my daughter escape the shackles of the Heavenly Dao Traces, hence our debts are settled.

No need to speak of master-disciple anymore!"

Ye Chen: "Master... Our cause and effect run deep... see, today I awakened your consciousness, we even cooperated and took down Li Kuangzhen."

Luo Jiutian gave Ye Chen a strange look.

Ye Chen: "I’m someone who sticks to my principles, you may not recognize me as your disciple, but I will certainly regard you as my master, this has nothing to do with strength, it’s a choice of following my heart!"

Are you kidding me?

Say it isn’t, just like that?

Where could one find such a sturdy backer?

Hold tight, never let go!

Luo Jiutian: "Suit yourself."

Ye Chen immediately said: "Master, tell me about the Epoch Struggle? What is everyone fighting over?"

This is his greatest curiosity.

So many mysterious and powerful elders, plotting this, calculating that, what exactly are they after?

Luo Jiutian’s gaze flickered, saying: "Human Dao!"

Ye Chen: "Everyone is fighting over Human Dao? What is that?"

Luo Jiutian: "The world is vast, the Celestial Essence Continent is but a speck in the ocean.

Three Thousand Small Worlds, one great world.

The Divine Realm’s Nine Heavens is a great world.

The divine race dominates the Divine Realm, battles across realms, intending to unify the Three Thousand Small Worlds.

After countless years of war, Two Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-nine have fallen under divine race’s control.

Except the Celestial Essence Continent, the divine race has never been able to conquer.

It’s because of the Human Dao force on Celestial Essence Continent!

There have been several times when the divine race forcibly invaded the Celestial Essence Continent, but they were massively restricted, their powers drastically suppressed, hence had to retreat.

Afterward, divine race has tried everything to find the Human Dao power and destroy it.

But they have never found the Human Dao power.

In the Divine Realm’s Upper Three Heavens, a supreme being prophesied that the Human Dao power of Celestial Essence Continent’s humans will appear at the end of the ninth epoch.

Thus.

Epoch began to end, transitioned."

Finally learning the secret of the Epoch Struggle, Ye Chen’s heart churned with waves of shock.

He had once thought the Epoch Struggle was human’s internal conflict, contending over some supreme treasure or legacy with layers of schemes.

Turns out... the Epoch Struggle involves such a grand scheme!

"Epoch ends, Heavenly Dao brings endless calamity, could it be, the power of Heavenly Dao is the work of divine race?" Ye Chen asked.

Luo Jiutian nodded, saying: "The Heavenly Dao power on Celestial Essence Continent was left from the divine race’s first invasion, an extremely terrifying force, for a long time, within the human race, many heroes have sought its source, but just like divine race searching for Human Dao power, we humans cannot find where the source of Heavenly Dao actually is.

The World Daoist Master of the last epoch, Yi Xiaoyao, likely found a clue, but unfortunately... Yi Xiaoyao was plotted against at the most crucial moment, unable to uncover this layer of mystery!"

Ye Chen: "Mad Old Man..."

"What mad old man?" Luo Jiutian looked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen: "... That’s Yi Xiaoyao you’re talking about, now he’s pretty crazy, forgetful, disorganized, almost got me killed, let’s not talk about that, tell me why Yi Xiaoyao was ambushed? Yi Xiaoyao should be extremely strong, who could plot against him?"

Luo Jiutian: "Creatures of various forbidden zones, and some conspirators arranging in the Epoch Struggle."

Ye Chen: "The Epoch Struggle, Human Dao power, this is divine race scheming to conquer Celestial Essence Continent, why do we humans scramble around, just protect Human Dao power from being discovered, wouldn’t that do?!"

Luo Jiutian sneered.

The smile chilled Ye Chen to the bone.

Then, Luo Jiutian said: "Human Dao power can suppress the divine race, who wouldn’t want to occupy it alone? Seizing Human Dao power, that would be the master of humanity!

Moreover.

There are some people who might have already cooperated with the divine race, they fight for Human Dao power, hand it over to the divine race for benefits.

Of course.

There are a few who sincerely want to protect Human Dao power, but those are very few.

Telling you this mainly because you’ve become swept up in this massive vortex, so you have an idea, avoiding being clueless like a fool."

Ye Chen: "... Master..."

"You haven’t even learned the true Nine Heavens Sword Manual, better stop calling me master."

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered.

Isn’t this an insinuation?

Immediately, he bowed with respect and loudly declared: "Please master, impart me the true Nine Heavens Sword Manual!"
