Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1163: Chapter 1162: Departure, Meeting Up, Lao Chi Is Shocked!

Seventy-two Islands.

Ye Chen immersed himself in cultivation.

He couldn’t afford to waste the waiting time.

The nine small domains needed to continue to stabilize and expand.

Besides, Ye Chen used the Celestial Stele Breathing Technique to refine the divine cores stored in the Acupoint World.

The divine core power refined couldn’t be directly applied to himself, but it was the source of power sustaining the manifestation of the acupoint deities.

Utilizing the divine power within the Acupoint World was extremely risky.

At the beginning.

Just the moment when the deity’s shadow stepped out from the Acupoint World and merged with Ye Chen’s body, it left him completely weak and powerless.

Even though Ye Chen’s strength had improved now.

He still couldn’t use the divine power within the acupoints for too long.

But...

He had no choice.

He had to use it when needed!

Days passed by.

The day to head to the Celestial Dao Cage was drawing near.

Ye Chen’s heart could no longer stay calm.

At this moment.

Late at night.

He stood high above the Seventy-two Islands, looking up at the sky.

"Will the stars fall into the sea... really happen?"

Ye Chen murmured to himself.

This time attacking the Celestial Dao Cage, the stars falling into the sea were extremely crucial.

At that moment, the Heavenly Dao would be confused, and the so-called Celestial Dao Divine Envoy would certainly suffer a significant drop in power, weakening the strength of the Celestial Dao Cage.

Just then.

A voice sounded in Ye Chen’s mind.

"Big brother, let me out!"

The voice came from the Little Phoenix inside the Sword Tomb.

With a thought, Ye Chen released the Little Phoenix.

Fluttering its wings, the Little Phoenix flew around Ye Chen and spoke, "Big brother, Sister Qingyi said that since you’re going to take action this time, which is extremely dangerous, the Sword Tomb needs to be separated from you for a while. During this time, the Sword Tomb will be entrusted to me for safekeeping."

Ye Chen thought for a moment, then said, "Alright."

The Sword Tomb indeed should not be brought along on such an adventure.

In case of an accident.

Even if the Sword Tomb were destroyed, Long Chen might not be affected, but Master Legs and Luo Qingyi could be obliterated!

Thinking about this.

Ye Chen took off the sword-shaped pendant and hung it around the neck of the Little Phoenix.

"Zizi, stay on the Seventy-two Islands, wait for my return," Ye Chen said.

The Little Phoenix nodded and said, "Big brother, aren’t you going in to see Sister Qingyi?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let’s talk after the matter is dealt with."

The Little Phoenix said, "Big brother, don’t worry, I am your little bird. Your little bird stays with Sister Qingyi all the time. I will take good care of Sister Qingyi for you."

Ye Chen stared at the Little Phoenix with a peculiar expression and said, "You are a divine Phoenix, not my little bird, and you are female, so be mindful of how you speak to protect your image in the future."

The Little Phoenix nonchalantly replied, "No matter when, I’ll always be Big Brother’s little bird. Big brother wants me big, I’ll be big; Big brother wants me small, I’ll be small; Big brother wants me to scold, I’ll scold!"

......

On that day.

The Battling Monk actively sought out Ye Chen and said, "Young master, it’s about time to set out."

Ye Chen nodded.

As they walked out of the grand hall.

The bandits of the Seventy-two Islands gathered outside the hall.

Led by Old Wang, who shouted with a loud voice, "Young master, we’re all coming with you!"

Mei the Third Aunt said, "That’s right, there isn’t a single coward on the Seventy-two Islands. Young master, we’re going with you to rescue people!"

"The Celestial Dao Divine Envoy is nothing, we’ll take turns self-exploding to blast him to death!"

"Wanted to break that Celestial Dao Cage long ago, nothing more to say, we’re going together, just do it!"

"I can’t miss this exhilarating event, I must go!"

One by one, the people voiced their thoughts.

Everyone knew the risk of this journey.

But they still wanted to go!

They weren’t afraid of dying.

But no one wished to die.

Yet the bandits of the Seventy-two Islands unanimously decided to go.

Ye Chen looked at everyone, warmth flowing through his heart, but he shook his head and said, "I appreciate everyone’s sentiment, but there’s no need. You need to stay here as there’s equally important work ahead.

The Ten Thousand Islands Sect remains a thorn. One moment of negligence, and we can’t lower our guard.

Keep an eye on Ten Thousand Islands Sect. If they show any movement, unite with the Chen Alliance, Martial Alliance, Body Alliance, and Divine Mirror Island’s forces to suppress them!

If Ten Thousand Islands Sect shows no anomalies, focus on your cultivation and try to enhance your strength. Once I bring my mother back, we can go together to conquer the Celestial Burial Sea, thoroughly obliterate the Ten Thousand Islands Sect!"

After Ye Chen finished speaking.

All the bandits of the Seventy-two Islands fell silent.

They understood well that Ye Chen, by saying this, actually gave them a way to retreat.

Ye Chen didn’t want them to go along and throw their lives away!

Old Wang swung his knife and shouted, "Young master, since you said so, we won’t cause you trouble. Rest assured and go there; we’ll surely handle matters here properly and beautifully!"

Ye Chen nodded and then looked at the Battling Monk, saying, "Master of Wine, let’s depart!"

The Battling Monk agreed, and in the next moment, they broke through the sky.

Ye Chen and Chi Mutian immediately followed.

In the void.

Chi Mutian said, "This isn’t like your style."

Ye Chen replied, "What is my style?"

Chi Mutian said, "You appear impulsive, but in fact, you’re very cautious, always planning before acting. This time, you’re facing off against the Celestial Dao Divine Envoy without calling for much help..."

Ye Chen said, "Lao Chi, planning before acting isn’t caution... forget it, you won’t understand even if I explain, after all, you’re the reckless type who’d charge toward Black Tide’s origin to die!"

Chi Mutian was speechless.

No matter when, Ye Chen wouldn’t stand to lose to a word in conversations.

"You really didn’t call anyone?" Chi Mutian asked.

Ye Chen replied, "No, the Celestial Burial Sea only has a few with Emperor-level combat strength; calling those below Great Emperor is just asking them to die. If it’s enemies, I don’t care how many die, but for my own people, I can’t accept even one death!"

Chi Mutian was silent for a while, then couldn’t help but ask again, "Really no other help?"

Ye Chen replied, "No one."

The Battling Monk said, "If you’re too afraid to go, you can leave now, and no one will laugh at you."

Chi Mutian exclaimed, "You stinky monk, would I, Emperor Mutian, be afraid?! Just a petty Celestial Dao Divine Envoy, I could poke him to death with one finger!"

Ye Chen faintly smiled and then said, "Wait a moment."

In an instant.

Their figures flashed out from the void, returning to the sky above the Boundless Sea Domain.

"What happened?" Chi Mutian asked.

Ye Chen gazed toward the sea.

Soon after.

The sea rolled, waves surging up.

A gigantic crab, like an island, floated up from the seabed.

"Crack crack!"

The Crab King’s pincers waved around.

Ye Chen showed a faint smile and said, "Crab King, you came alone?"

The Crab King said, "Others will come, I set off early to meet you, they’ll catch up directly at the destination later, but let me say this first, if we find this incident has nothing to do with the Heart of the Sea King, we’ll leave immediately!"

Ye Chen assured, "Rest assured, the Heart of the Sea King is right below the Celestial Dao Cage!"

Beside him.

The Battling Monk and Chi Mutian were a bit stunned.

How did this... tie up with the legendary Heart of the Sea King?

Chi Mutian froze for a moment, regained his focus, stared at the Crab King, then at Ye Chen, and said, "Didn’t you say you didn’t call anyone?"

Ye Chen replied, "Did I call anyone?"

Chi Mutian was silent.

Indeed.

This was an Emperor-level powerful sea beast... not a person!
