Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1015: Chapter 1014: Self-Created Secret Technique, Celestial Master Chen Seal

The whole place was once again struck dumb.

Ye Chen didn’t play by any damn rules at all. This was clearly Divine Appraiser business, but he kept using brute force to solve everything.

Just now, Sun Qi’s targeting was way too obvious, and Ye Chen cut him down.

Now this guy had just been running his mouth a bit on the side, and Ye Chen actually hacked him to death too.

Zhang Hao, a top Earth Tier Divine Appraiser with Emperor Realm cultivation, roared, "Ye Chen, I say you don’t know how to appraise god stones at all, you’re just making trouble on purpose!"

Ye Chen sneered. "When I’m appraising god stones, I don’t like bugs and vermin buzzing around beside me, so all of you better shut your mouths!"

Out here in the Celestial Burial Sea, these Divine Appraisers had all been spoiled rotten.

Their actual skills weren’t much, but their bullshit never stopped.

If you don’t cut a few down, they’ll get so cocky they won’t know north from south.

So.

Even as a Divine Appraiser, you need to have your own combat power.

That old bastard Zhang Hao at least had Emperor Realm battle power—otherwise, with how much he talks, Ye Chen would’ve chopped him already.

Of course, once you reach Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser, that’s another story.

That despicable Celestial Master Mingkong didn’t even have Emperor Realm cultivation, yet he had methods to refine the power inside god stones and turn it into his own, unleashing terrifying attacks.

But...

In the entire Celestial Burial Sea, there were only five Celestial-tier Divine Appraisers.

Around them, a group of Divine Appraisers glared at Ye Chen, wishing they could eat him alive.

Ye Chen didn’t care about those looks at all and said calmly, "Anyone else not convinced?"

No one spoke up.

Those who could beat Ye Chen didn’t dare fight him—after all, Ye Chen had two Great Emperors behind him.

Those who couldn’t beat Ye Chen went without saying; they were afraid if they opened their mouths, Ye Chen would chop them dead.

Only then did Ye Chen put his sword away. "I’ll just show off a couple of moves—open your eyes wide and watch carefully!"

Speaking, Ye Chen walked back into the middle of that pile of god stones. His Martial Arts Celestial Eye opened again, and his ten fingers rapidly formed seals, combining the power of the Martial Arts Celestial Eye to probe these god stones.

The power of the hand seals rippled out like waves, touching one stone after another.

The strange power permeating each god stone began to show extremely subtle fluctuations.

Those fluctuations were clearly displayed under the observation of Ye Chen’s Martial Arts Celestial Eye.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Ye Chen had locked onto five god stones.

By his judgment, the opportunities that could be opened from these five stones were definitely the best!

But... which one held the very best opportunity still needed deeper probing.

To make it simpler, Ye Chen directly waved his hand and moved those five god stones together.

"Hmph, this is pure child’s play. I’ve never in my life seen anyone who could supposedly do a preliminary selection of so many god stones this fast. Ignorant brat, you clearly know nothing of the way of appraisal!"

"You’re courting death!"

Ye Chen barked coldly.

Clanging, ringing sword cries erupted.

Forty-nine sacred swords floated up around Ye Chen.

"You little shit, I’ve tolerated you for long enough!" Zhang Hao bellowed, his voice harsh and furious.

Ye Chen: "..."

So it was this old thing running his mouth.

If it were someone else, he’d just cut them down.

Forget it—an Emperor Realm guy, he couldn’t win.

Ye Chen moved his thoughts and put away the Sword Array. "Divine Appraiser matters should be solved with Divine Appraiser methods. Zhang Hao, you try to start a fight at the drop of a hat—are you even a Divine Appraiser anymore?"

Everyone: "..."

Ye Chen had just chopped two Divine Appraisers in a row, and he actually had the face to say that...

Zhang Hao was so angry even his beard curled up.

Ye Chen: "Or is it that you’re afraid of losing to me, so you’re deliberately disrupting me? Didn’t expect you, old thing, to have half a brain—every bit of it rotten."

Zhang Hao was about to explode from rage!

Ye Chen didn’t give Zhang Hao any chance to speak and continued, "Since you say I’m playing around, then have the guts later to not pick any of these five god stones I chose. Dare you?"

Zhang Hao’s hands trembled, then he flung his sleeve hard. "The god stones you picked aren’t worth my time!"

Ye Chen snorted. "Remember what you just said. If you end up picking one, you’re a turtle grandson!"

Then Ye Chen turned his gaze back to the god stones. He now had to do a deeper round of selection and judgment, so he couldn’t be careless. He took a deep breath, focused his mind, and formed hand seals with both hands. A faint, hazy light appeared on his palms.

This scene made everyone present change expression.

Instinct told these Divine Appraisers that Ye Chen’s technique was extremely complex and profound!

This was a Secret Technique Ye Chen had created by combining Miss Jiu’s methods, Lin Qu’s Secret Technique, and Emperor Mutian’s Mutian Divine Seal—a pile of inheritances fused together, belonging to him alone.

Though it was a bit weird and didn’t resemble orthodox Divine Appraiser techniques at all, its effect was excellent; even Lin Qu back then had praised it.

Ye Chen placed both hands on the god stone in front of him, patting and tapping it to feel the special feedback waves inside the stone. His Martial Arts Celestial Eye also stared tightly at every tiny change in the aura on the stone’s surface.

Time trickled by.

Half an hour passed.

Ye Chen finally finished appraising the god stones.

The power in his eyes was almost spent, and his mental energy had taken a huge hit.

But... the things inside those five god stones—Ye Chen already had a rough idea.

"This one."

Ye Chen raised his hand and pointed at a medium-grade god stone.

Sikong Zhaixing frowned.

Zhang Hao burst out laughing. "So many high-grade god stones and you don’t pick them, yet you pick a single medium-grade stone. I can’t help suspecting everything you did just now was pure theatrics."

Ye Chen: "It’s not like medium-grade god stones can’t open good stuff. Even low-grade stones have a chance of containing top-tier opportunities. That’s basic common sense. You’re this old, plus a so-called top Earth Tier Divine Appraiser, and you don’t even know that?"

Zhang Hao: "..."

What Ye Chen said... was indeed common sense.

But that chance was so small it was downright insulting!

All these years, Zhang Hao had been used to being respected. Today, he was being seriously offended by Ye Chen again and again; the anger in his heart was almost impossible to suppress.

"Ignorant brat, you’ll regret it when the stone is opened!"

Zhang Hao snorted angrily, flung his arm, and stepped straight into the field—not to appraise other stones first, but to fix his gaze on the one Ye Chen had chosen and use his methods to probe it.

A moment later.

Zhang Hao laughed loudly. "If what comes out of this stone is a treasure, I’ll swallow all the leftover fragments from the opening!"

Just now, seeing how confident Ye Chen was, Zhang Hao had indeed felt a bit nervous.

But now his confidence had surged; he wasn’t worried at all. He was sure the stone Ye Chen had chosen couldn’t possibly have anything good!

Ye Chen looked at Sikong Zhaixing. "Isle Master Sikong, please ask the stone opener later not to cut the stone too small—keep the pieces big. They’re easier to eat that way!"

Sikong Zhaixing felt a headache coming on.

He really... had no confidence in Ye Chen.

If Ye Chen screwed this up... he wouldn’t be able to explain it to the two Great Emperors, Celestial Blade and Celestial Cauldron.

"Young Master Ye, just now I noticed your stone-appraising Secret Technique looked very unfamiliar, and I’ve never heard of anything similar before. Might you explain?" At this moment, an elder sitting in the front row spoke.

Earlier, this man hadn’t thrown out a single snide remark, so Ye Chen was somewhat polite to him. He nodded. "I created it myself. It’s called the Celestial Master Chen Seal."

"Created it yourself..." The elder was stunned, then said, "Young Master Ye truly is heaven’s chosen!"

"Hmph, with this level of experience, you think you’re qualified to create a stone-appraising Secret Technique? It’s just child’s play!" an old woman spoke up.

Ye Chen glanced over.

The old woman was clearly worried Ye Chen would start a fight and let out a cold snort. Silver spiritual light flickered faintly at her brow.

An Emperor Realm Earth Seal Spirit Master—he couldn’t beat her. Ye Chen smiled faintly. "Relax. You’re ugly; I won’t chop you."

Old woman: "..."
