Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1023: Chapter 1022: Low-Key Celestial Master, Probing Conversation!

The shattered World-Suppressing Celestial Stele appeared smooth on the surface, but hidden within were inscriptions that had already self-repaired.

Ye Chen’s power enveloped the broken celestial stele, floating in front of him. As he invoked the Celestial Stele Breathing Technique, a profound and enigmatic feeling rose in his heart.

With a single fingertip extended by Ye Chen, a mysterious and unfathomable power surged like a storm to his fingertips, then vigorously attacked the surface of the broken celestial stele.

"Buzz!"

A vibration occurred.

On the smooth surface of the shattered World-Suppressing Celestial Stele, lines upon lines of patterns emerged, and within a dozen breaths, the hidden inscriptions were fully revealed.

These inscriptions entwined like lines representing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, complex and elusive.

This was entirely different from the piece of World-Suppressing Celestial Stele that Ye Chen had fully comprehended.

"The World-Suppressing Celestial Stele is truly worthy of its status as an artifact of suppression; even I can’t understand it!" Master Legs exclaimed in astonishment, "You brat, do you see anything?"

However, Ye Chen did not respond.

Long Chen said casually, "He’s receiving the hidden information within the celestial stele."

About half an hour later, Ye Chen had fully absorbed the information left by the Sikong Clan’s ancestor. It must be said, as the Celestial Burial Sea’s first celestial-tier divine appraiser, he indeed possessed remarkable skill.

In a secret chamber on Divine Mirror Island, having integrated the strengths of various families, Ye Chen felt his divine appraiser level was nearly touching the celestial-tier threshold.

Then, elevating the Martial Arts Celestial Eye to Martial Arts Divine Eye, he had already stepped one foot into the doorway of a celestial-tier divine appraiser.

After absorbing some of the Sikong Clan ancestor’s legacy, Ye Chen could now confirm that he was indeed a celestial-tier divine appraiser!

In this era, the sixth celestial-tier divine appraiser of the Celestial Burial Sea!

As for the forbidden disasters that may encounter a divine appraiser, Ye Chen was aware.

How to counter them...

The Sikong Clan ancestor truly left a method.

But... it was merely speculative, yet to be verified, as he was destroyed by the strength of the forbidden power.

Ye Chen was not in a rush to handle this matter for the time being.

After all, only through substantial contact with divine stones might forbidden disasters be triggered.

And the Sikong Clan ancestor’s method must await the arrival of forbidden disasters for validation!

......

Leaving the Sword Tomb, exiting the secret chamber, Ye Chen went directly to find Sikong Zhaixing.

However.

Sikong Zhaixing was not present.

Receiving Ye Chen was Sikong Zhaixing’s son, Sikong Ming.

"Young Master Ye, my father has received word of the fall of the Celestial Blade Emperor, hence he has already departed for the Martial Alliance Headquarters," Sikong Ming said.

"The Celestial Blade Emperor has fallen?!"

Ye Chen’s face revealed deep shock.

Logically speaking, even if the Celestial Blade Emperor’s injuries were irreversible, it should not happen so quickly!

Sikong Ming sighed and said, "The Celestial Blade Emperor lived a glorious life; how could he resign himself to such a bleak wait for death to arrive? Therefore, he wielded his blade and slew the Nine Celestial Burial Coffins..."

Ye Chen’s expression was complex.

He had little contact with the Celestial Blade Emperor.

Yet... he felt a certain admiration for him!

Moreover, the Celestial Blade Emperor had passed the Two-Cut Saber Dao to Ye Chen!

Such a hero, indeed, would never be content with a dim end.

Ye Chen: "Do you know which Heaven-Burying Coffin killed him?"

Sikong Ming said: "It’s said that the Second Generation Coffin through to the Ninth Generation Coffin all took action, and finally, it was the returning First Generation Coffin that directly took the Celestial Blade Emperor into the Heaven-Burying Coffin."

Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed.

Perhaps... there is still hope!

"By the way, my father also has something to relay to Young Master Ye: the legacy left by our Sikong Clan ancestor, Young Master Ye should carry it with him. If after ten years, it is still not comprehensible, then return it to us on Divine Mirror Island." Sikong Ming said.

Ye Chen: "..."

Perfect timing!

Though the secret hidden within the shattered World-Suppressing Celestial Stele has been learned, the celestial stele’s inscriptions still hold great utility, for now remaining by his side, with time, he may comprehend them.

"Young Master Sikong, I’ve lingered on Divine Mirror Island for over a month, now I must leave, returning to the Sports Alliance Headquarters."

Sikong Ming: "The journey is far; I’ll arrange some guards to escort Young Master Ye."

Ye Chen: "No need for such trouble; if possible, I’d like to borrow some divine stones from Divine Mirror Island."

The forces arranged by Divine Mirror Island could at best reach the Emperor Realm.

Ye Chen now possesses the power to challenge the Emperor Realm, coupled with the ability to refine the power within divine stones using celestial-tier divine appraiser methods; unless a Great Emperor seeks trouble, he can hold his ground, even if encountering an unbeatable foe, he can still protect himself!

It can be said, having arrived at the Celestial Burial Sea, never before has he felt safer than this moment!

Being strong oneself is the foundation for resolving all troubles!

Divine Mirror Island’s reserve of divine stones is fairly abundant, Sikong Ming generously gave Ye Chen a heap of divine stones.

Ye Chen glanced at the pile of divine stones before him.

Then he waved his hand.

Three divine stones flew in front of Sikong Ming.

"Young Master Sikong, within these three divine stones are excellent artifact-refining materials. Though not sufficient to create Imperial Weapons, they should be more than enough for crafting Saint Weapons."

The reason for not clarifying what these materials are, is because... Ye Chen doesn’t know them!

Even though he can instantly discern what’s inside these divine stones, he recognizes but a few items...

And in the other divine stones, some hold opportunities, some are empty, Ye Chen didn’t specifically extract these items, giving them to Divine Mirror Island yields little significance, refining them himself is the best course.

Ye Chen spoke lightly.

Sikong Ming’s eyes widened, his expression full of shock, his open mouth unable to utter a word.

Ye Chen’s current state...

Like a celestial-tier divine appraiser!

Thus, Ye Chen borrowed divine stones from Divine Mirror Island... undoubtedly to refine the power within them...

Inside, Sikong Ming’s heart surged with astonishment, waves of turmoil arose!

"Young Master Ye... you... you... have succeeded in advancing?!" Sikong Ming stammered.

Ye Chen nodded.

Sikong Ming’s face flushed with excitement, immediately cupping his hands in salute.

A celestial-tier divine appraiser is an existence sitting alongside the Great Emperor!

Ye Chen raised his hand, stopping Sikong Ming, "Young Master Sikong, my nature is calm, I prefer low profile. Let’s keep this matter quiet for now."

Having this trump card hidden allows for many actions!

Sikong Ming was still overwhelmed by the shock and had not fully recovered.

The birth of any celestial-tier divine appraiser is an event that shakes the entire Celestial Burial Sea.

Yet Ye Chen silently advanced...

Moreover, Ye Chen is so young, not even placing all his energy on the path of the divine appraiser...

Compared to Ye Chen, Sikong Ming, who underwent rigorous training since young and lived over a hundred years, felt ashamed!

After agreeing with Sikong Ming, Ye Chen took a batch of divine stones and left Divine Mirror Island alone.

On the road.

Ye Chen took out a pitch-black token.

This was thrown to him by the Heaven-Burying Coffin Envoy on Aurora Island.

There are two tokens, one belonging to the First Generation Coffin, one to the Sixth Generation Coffin.

The one Ye Chen held belonged to the First Generation Coffin that took away the Celestial Blade Emperor.

"Is anyone there?"

Ye Chen sent a voice transmission into the token.

"Speak!"

A voice full of authority echoed.

Ye Chen’s expression was happy; someone responded to him... so he continued transmitting, "Are you the envoy of the First Generation Coffin, or the will inside the First Generation Coffin?"

"Kid, if you have something to say, say it; otherwise, stop transmitting, or I’ll take your life!"

Ye Chen grit his teeth.

Such a temper...

"Just one thing, the Celestial Blade Emperor is my mate, could you release him?"

"I can, but what will you exchange for it?"

Ye Chen: "So the Celestial Blade Emperor isn’t dead yet?"

The little old man inside the First Generation Coffin, his mouth twitched, muttering, "Forgot... this brat’s mind turns faster than anyone’s, his guts are as big as ever; even with the Nine Celestial Burial Coffins, he dares to try probing..."
