Chapter 1001: Chapter 1000: Signs of Divine Technique Advancement, Past Events

Ye Chen’s thoughts swirled.

Back then, by chance in the demonic cave, he acquired the Martial Arts True Eye.

Later, during the Celestial Eye Race’s altar baptism outside the heavens, the Martial Arts True Eye was upgraded to the Martial Arts Celestial Eye.

Since then, the Martial Arts Celestial Eye showed no further signs of advancement.

Just like the Celestial Cauldron Emperor mentioned earlier, the Martial Arts Celestial Eye is really not much within the Emperor Realm.

The Reincarnation Eye owned by the World Daoist Master Yi Xiaoyao in the previous era was far superior to his own Martial Arts Celestial Eye!

"Elder Lin, we had some misunderstandings before, but that’s all minor. After all, we are men who can take it or leave it. Why don’t we each take a step back and turn hostility into friendship?"

Lin Qu’s face flushed red.

If he didn’t agree, wouldn’t it mean admitting he’s not a manly man?

To be honest, the fault... was indeed with him first!

The Celestial Cauldron bastard hit him, and he vented his anger on Ye Chen.

It would be good for both of them to take a step back.

Ye Chen’s talent is truly terrifying. If he could inherit all of his abilities, he would surely benefit alongside him in the future!

"I am also a person of magnanimity, so I won’t hold it against you," Lin Qu said.

Ye Chen laughed and said, "Just in time, everyone knows I’m a magnanimous person, and Elder Lin is also magnanimous. I have a proposal: why don’t we take this opportunity to become sworn brothers, share blessings and face hardships together in the future."

"Boom!"

A mighty force of Qi Blood pressed down on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen instantly fell flat.

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor glanced at Ye Chen.

Brat.

Lin Qu was his seventh maternal great-uncle, and Ye Chen wanted to become sworn brothers with his seventh maternal great-uncle...

Trying to take advantage of the Emperor right under him? Bold enough, he should be taught a lesson!

Pushed flat on the ground, Ye Chen got up, patted the dust off himself, not minding it at all.

Being pushed down by an Emperor isn’t disgraceful.

Can’t defeat him in a fight, so why brood?

Just remember it.

Talk about it when he can win!

"Elder Lin’s reputation, I’ve actually heard it often, otherwise I wouldn’t have been so respectful from the start. But I’m just a hotheaded young lad, so when Elder Lin said a few things, I felt reluctant and offended him repeatedly.

Now that I think about it, I really shouldn’t have.

Elder Lin has his own difficulties.

I once again extend my apologies for my previous defiance toward Elder Lin."

Ye Chen’s tone was sincere and earnest, directly targeting the Celestial Cauldron Emperor.

Lin Qu glanced at the Celestial Cauldron Emperor. Indeed, the root of the trouble lies with this reckless and brutish person.

If he had approached him properly, invited him nicely instead of beating him, he wouldn’t have been full of anger, and these few days of trouble wouldn’t have happened!

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor, being stared at by Lin Qu, felt a bit guilty. After all, it was his seventh maternal great-uncle, so he looked at Ye Chen with a forced smile.

Shrewd fellow.

Pushed him flat on the ground once, seemingly indifferent, yet now plotting a comeback!

"Seventh maternal great-uncle, Ye Chen, I have matters to attend to, so I’ll leave you two to continue."

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor left this sentence, his figure flashed, disappearing instantly, as if he had never appeared.

Even Ye Chen’s Martial Arts Celestial Eye and powerful ninth-tier unique Spiritual Power didn’t detect a single trace.

The power of an Emperor stronghold, terrifying to behold.

"Brother Lin." Ye Chen greeted warmly.

"Boom!"

A mighty force of Qi Blood descended from the sky, and Ye Chen was once again flattened onto the ground.

Seeing Ye Chen’s plight, Lin Qu’s mood finally lightened a bit. Having all been beaten by the Celestial Cauldron bastard, he felt a sense of shared misfortune with Ye Chen, as if both were fellow travelers in adversity.

Ye Chen got up and said, "Elder Lin, let’s exchange insights!"

As for the Celestial Cauldron Emperor... keep remembering; once he can beat him, he’ll let him stay flattened on the ground for three days and nights!

Time flies swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

During this period, Ye Chen finally gained a deeper understanding of the Divine Appraiser’s path.

Although Lin Qu wasn’t a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser, his experience was undoubtedly rich.

As for Lin Qu’s Rising Source Secret Technique, Ye Chen acquired it smoothly.

Lin Qu had to admit, Ye Chen’s talent was terrifyingly outstanding.

His ability to infer the whole from a single instance, to explain profoundly from the simple, often understood complex matters effortlessly!

At this moment.

Ye Chen sat cross-legged before Lin Qu, continuously forming seals with his hands, his closed eyelids glowing with a dreamy, ethereal light, evolving the unfathomable traces of the Dao.

A moment later.

Ye Chen stopped, opened his eyes, a deep gaze revealing a sense of insight into the essence of all things.

"Did it succeed?"

Lin Qu asked nervously.

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Still a bit off, the Martial Arts Divine Eye is infinitely mysterious."

Then, Ye Chen stood up and solemnly bowed to Lin Qu, saying, "Thank you, Elder Lin, for giving me the Rising Source Secret Technique, this kindness I shall never forget."

The previous conflict was nothing more than a child’s spat.

Lin Qu, generously passing on the Rising Source Secret Technique, deserved gratitude from someone with a vision and magnanimity.

Lin Qu waved his hand and said, "We have fate, actually, what you said earlier is right; even with my reputation, I am ultimately just an Earth-tier Divine Appraiser.

In the future, when you ascend to Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser with traces of Lin Qu, my life will be without regrets."

Ye Chen: "Elder Lin, no need to belittle yourself, your insights on the Divine Appraiser’s path surpass countless others. Spend a bit more time, and you might just become a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser."

Lin Qu showed a bitter smile and said, "Impossible now, my path was severed long ago."

After saying this, Lin Qu turned to leave, despondent.

"Elder Lin..."

Lin Qu, facing away from Ye Chen, waved his hand and said, "When you ascend to become a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser, remember to visit me once, I will feel fulfilled."

Watching Lin Qu’s departing figure, Ye Chen felt a sense of resignation, desolation, and unwillingness!

"If not for that matter a hundred years ago, my seventh maternal great-uncle would have already been a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser." The voice of the Celestial Cauldron Emperor sounded.

Ye Chen eyed the suddenly appearing Celestial Cauldron Emperor and asked, "A hundred years ago, what happened?"

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor sighed and said, "Do you know how many Celestial-tier Divine Appraisers there are in the current Celestial Burial Sea?"

"One in the Ten Thousand Islands Sect, one in the Martial Alliance, one in the Spirit Alliance, and two loose cultivators, specifically Celestial Master Zhou Ce and Celestial Master Mingkong," Ye Chen said, making a total of five that he heard from Lin Qu.

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor nodded and said, "A hundred years ago, Celestial Master Mingkong and my seventh maternal great-uncle were both just half a step away from the Celestial Tier, and they were close confidants, with my seventh maternal great-uncle trusting Mingkong immensely.

One day, my seventh maternal great-uncle welcomed a chance to ascend and sought Mingkong’s assistance, but unexpectedly, Mingkong attacked at the crucial moment, seizing the pupil technique’s divine source from my seventh maternal great-uncle.

By the time I arrived, my seventh maternal great-uncle was already on the brink of death, and Mingkong, the thief, was taken away by the Celestial Child Emperor.

Later, Mingkong used the divine source taken from my seventh maternal great-uncle, successfully becoming a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser, while my seventh maternal great-uncle’s life was spared, but his pupil technique divine techniques vanished entirely."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen’s brow furrowed tightly.

No wonder the creator of the Rising Source Secret Technique, Lin Qu, has no pupil-type divine techniques!

Ye Chen asked, "What’s the connection between this matter and the Celestial Child Emperor?"

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor sneered coldly and said, "Mingkong, that thief, is the elder brother of the Mingyao Imperial Spirit Master, and the Celestial Child Emperor is Mingyao’s Daoist partner, making Mingkong the Celestial Child Emperor’s brother-in-law!"

The corners of Ye Chen’s mouth curled into a chilling arc and he said, "Understood, they’re all rats of the same hole, a pack of scoundrels. When I raze Celestial Child Divine Island, I’ll be sure to cut down Mingkong, the thief!"

Causality is just so.

Lin Qu passed on the Rising Source Secret Technique to him, thus he shall aid him in killing his foe!
