Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1011: Chapter 1010: Teaching the Way, Repaying Kindness

The Celestial Blade Emperor was shocked by Ye Chen’s insight.

He and the Celestial Cauldron Emperor had expended great effort to uncover some issues with Celestial Child Divine Island.

But Ye Chen?

How long had he been in the Celestial Burial Sea?

He unexpectedly knew such a significant secret!

Ye Chen maintained a calm expression and said, "Celestial Blade Emperor, there’s no need to be surprised. I only discovered it by chance. From what I understand about Celestial Burial Sea, both Reincarnators and Parasitic beings find it difficult to survive. I would like to ask Celestial Blade Emperor, if the secret of Celestial Child Divine Island were to be made public, what kind of commotion would it cause?"

"No ripple whatsoever."

Celestial Blade Emperor’s answer left Ye Chen quite perplexed.

Celestial Blade Emperor said, "Celestial Child Divine Island is related to Parasitic beings, but who can thoroughly investigate Tong Dabao’s physical body and soul?

No one can do it.

As long as it’s impossible to verify the close connection between Tong Dabao and the Parasitic beings, even if countless traces of Parasitic beings are found on Celestial Child Divine Island, it’s all useless.

As long as Tong Dabao remains, Celestial Child Divine Island will always exist.

Moreover, Ten Thousand Islands Sect maintains close covert ties with Celestial Child Divine Island; as you learned today, Emperor Tian Wan went so far as to send out a clone that had been refined for a thousand years to aid Celestial Child Divine Island.

You must know that Emperor Tian Wan’s clones also possess Great Emperor’s Battle Power!"

Ye Chen felt a shock in his heart and asked, "Does Emperor Tian Wan of Ten Thousand Islands Sect have many such clones?"

Celestial Blade Emperor replied, "As far as we know, only two. Today, I destroyed one, so only one remains publicly visible. Yet Emperor Tian Wan himself hasn’t left Ten Thousand Islands Sect for over five thousand years. Who truly knows the depth of his true capabilities?"

Ye Chen asked, "Why has the Emperor Tian Wan of Ten Thousand Islands Sect not left the sect for such a long time?"

The Celestial Blade Emperor looked at Ye Chen and said, "This matter is not something you should concern yourself with. You have already delved too deeply into the Great Emperor level competition, and now you can stand here safely because you haven’t touched the core interests between emperors. Otherwise, even I and the Celestial Cauldron Emperor wouldn’t be able to protect you."

Ye Chen: "..."

The Celestial Blade Emperor continued, "You previously gifted me a piece of Enlightenment Tea in the Forbidden Zone.

A few days ago, your martial uncle Liu Mubai returned to the Martial Alliance and also gave me a piece of Enlightenment Tea, which you had crafted.

In other words, I owe you a debt for two pieces of Enlightenment Tea.

And you yourself are quite exceptional, with supreme talent. Therefore, my Two-Cut Saber Dao can be passed to you for insight and verification of your Sword Dao. In this way, even if I truly face my end one day, my Two-Cut Saber Dao will continue."

Though the words were calm.

Ye Chen still sensed a strong unwillingness.

Those who can claim the title of Great Emperor all harbor infinite aspirations and are all proud individuals.

The Celestial Blade Emperor, when measured by the standards of a Great Emperor, is in his prime, yet is powerless against his destiny. It can be imagined how much frustration lies in his heart.

Ye Chen said, "Celestial Blade Emperor, when you aimed your blade at the heavens, you were surely subjected to the Heavenly Dao’s backlash, weren’t you?"

"Celestial Cauldron told you everything." The Celestial Blade Emperor gave a wry smile and said, "At that time, I knew that swing was a matter of life and death, yet I still made the strike.

I underestimated the horror of the Heavenly Dao.

However, that strike was enough to take pride in, because even though the Heavenly Dao retaliated, it couldn’t instantly crush me.

In that aspect, looking at any Great Emperor in the Celestial Burial Sea, even the most mysterious Emperor Tian Wan, he couldn’t achieve it!"

In the midst of the Celestial Blade Emperor’s heroism, there was still melancholy.

Ye Chen remained silent, contemplating various thoughts in his mind.

The Celestial Blade Emperor laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Unfortunately, no matter how much ambition I have, it cannot overpower the impending dead end. Ye Chen, watch closely, as my Two-Cut Saber Dao lies within this very stroke."

As the words fell.

Suddenly, a saber light appeared in Celestial Blade Emperor’s hand.

With a flick of Celestial Blade Emperor’s wrist, the saber light whooshed and carved a deep mark in front of Ye Chen.

"Two-Cut Saber, a single cut dividing, cutting off emotions, severing life, breaking heavens!"

Ye Chen’s gaze focused entirely on the saber mark upon the ground.

In reality, it was a very simple saber mark, but coming from the Celestial Blade Emperor’s hand, simplicity was imbued with the profound principles of heaven and earth.

"Cutting emotions severs those chaotic and useless feelings!"

Ye Chen murmured quietly.

"Severing life captures the essence of the saber, every cut to kill the enemy!"

Ye Chen’s eyes shone brightly.

"Breaking heavens... this is the pursuit direction of the Two-Cut Saber Dao!"

The Celestial Blade Emperor viewed Ye Chen with a look of admiration.

Such good material is truly hard to come by.

What a pity.

Ye Chen focused on the Sword Dao; otherwise, the Celestial Blade Dao would surely continue to shine brilliantly through him.

Yet...

Thinking it over, the Celestial Blade Emperor became at ease.

Ye Chen’s Sword Dao had already faintly surpassed the Celestial Blade Dao...

Even if the Celestial Blade Emperor didn’t want to admit it, he had to recognize it.

What Ye Chen lacked now was merely the accumulation of power.

Thus, it was not bad either.

Let the Celestial Blade Dao continue within Ye Chen’s Sword Dao, embracing another kind of brilliance!

After a moment.

Ye Chen retracted his gaze from the saber mark on the ground and looked toward the Celestial Blade Emperor, bowing with clasped hands, "Thank you, Celestial Blade Emperor!"

Celestial Blade Emperor said indifferently, "You’ve comprehended it so quickly?"

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "No, but there’s no need to comprehend it entirely, just take what I need."

Absorb what your Sword Dao requires.

The unnecessary, no matter how strong, shouldn’t be integrated.

In this way, one can maintain the purity of the Sword Dao!

Celestial Blade Emperor gave a faint smile and said, "The true essence of this saber can last for three days. I have matters to attend to, so I’ll depart first. If there’s a chance to meet again, I hope to see traces of this saber from your hands."

Ye Chen said, "Celestial Blade Emperor, I have something to give."

As he spoke, he produced a piece of Enlightenment Tea.

Celestial Blade Emperor said, "Liu Mubai told me that in the Forbidden Zone, you actually acquired nine pieces of Enlightenment Tea."

Ye Chen nodded.

"You gave one piece of Enlightenment Tea to the Celestial Cauldron, which I used along with the piece you previously gifted, plus the one Liu Mubai provided, I’ve now used three pieces of Enlightenment Tea with minimal effect; my issue evidently can’t be resolved by Enlightenment Tea alone, just keep it for yourself, don’t waste it on me."

Ye Chen said, "Minimal effect suggests there’s still an impact. The current lack of qualitative change is due to not having used enough Enlightenment Tea. One piece yields some effect; aggregating ten, even a hundred pieces, would certainly carve out a path!"

The Celestial Blade Emperor chuckled and replied, "You really don’t regard Enlightenment Tea as significant. Even if you gathered nine pieces last time, you gave some away, and I imagine you used a bit yourself, leaving few for yourself.

Even if previously harvested Enlightenment Tea remains with the tree, the total may not exceed a hundred pieces..."

Ye Chen asked, "Celestial Blade Emperor, do you believe in miracles?"

Celestial Blade Emperor replied, "I believe more in my saber."

Ye Chen: "... Celestial Blade Emperor, can I trust you?"

Celestial Blade Emperor: "Our interactions have been limited. It’s normal for you not to trust me, but... I, Xu Tiandao, have never wronged anyone in my life."

Ye Chen: "Celestial Blade Emperor, the Enlightenment Tea you’ll need to break through the barriers, you can rely on me!"
