Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1190: Chapter 1189: Brother Chun Deciphers, Human Dao Within!

Inside the First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin.

Aside from darkness, there was nothing else.

Ye Chen, immersed in the darkness, lost most of his senses.

The Aurora Sword Dao was effective outside, but once inside the Heaven-Burying Coffin, it could only play a minimal role.

The darkness crept over Ye Chen.

In his heart, Ye Chen had an intuition, as if everything about him was being assimilated by the darkness, and he was becoming a part of it.

A shiver ran through his heart.

Ye Chen mobilized the power of the deities to slow down the encroachment of the darkness.

"Brother Chun."

He called out these two words.

The sound echoed continuously, the two notes intertwining, becoming increasingly chaotic and piercing.

Ye Chen took a deep breath and said, "Brother Chun, have you really forgotten? You’re the Hall Master of the Eastern Domain Cang Province True Martial Hall!

You once said that you would drive the aliens completely out of the Eastern Domain.

Back then.

When the aliens invaded, the Eastern Domain Human Race retreated a step.

Only you refused to yield even half a step.

You said that in your life, Shi Fengchun never knew what giving in or retreating meant, and there would never be a day when you would!

How come?

Are you scared now?

It’s just a broken coffin, yet it presses you so much that you can’t even maintain your will?

Brother Chun.

Hurry up and come out, if you don’t, I’ll really look down on you!

By then, I’ll return to the Eastern Domain and tell everyone that Shi Fengchun is a coward, defeated by a mere broken coffin.

Of course.

I don’t think Brother Chun would be a coward, you’re just trying to avoid paying your debts, right?!

That must be it.

After all, you promised me once that you’d get me the sharpest sword in the world.

You also said you’d catch the mightiest beast for me to ride.

Right, you still owe me tens of millions of top-grade primordial stones.

I’m a generous person, I won’t hold it against you, come out now, and we’ll write off all the debts!"

Ye Chen kept on talking.

Shi Fengchun’s silhouette lingered in his mind, unable to be shaken off.

That sly and lecherous old man was really quite endearing and... quite respectable!

At that moment.

The darkness around Ye Chen suddenly dissipated.

A black shadow appeared before Ye Chen.

The shadow was blurred.

But Ye Chen knew, it had to be Shi Fengchun!

"Brother Chun, you finally came out. Don’t worry, I meant what I said, everything you owe me is canceled out!"

"You little rascal, I never agreed to anything, do I owe you something? Believe it or not, I’ll pin you down and smack your behind!" the shadow cursed angrily.

Ye Chen: "..."

"Brother Chun, are you alright?!"

His voice was filled with deep excitement.

The shadow: "I was alright until some little brat flipped open my coffin lid and came in spouting nonsense, putting me in a bad mood!"

Ye Chen: "Really alright?"

The shadow: "I thought something would happen, but I didn’t expect Yi Xiaoyao to have left a contingency. As my will was about to be completely assimilated by the darkness, a strand of Yi Xiaoyao’s power erupted in my spirit, helping me out of the crisis."

Ye Chen: "Yi Xiaoyao..."

The shadow: "I’ll tell you about Yi Xiaoyao later. Stay here for a while, I need to completely rid myself of the dark power’s erosion first."

"Need help?"

"No need, with your power, you’d only make things worse."

Ye Chen: "Brother Chun, don’t underestimate me!"

The shadow: "Hurry up and dispel those foreign powers within you, or your little body will be drained again!"

Ye Chen complied.

The shadow: "Stay here obediently."

And with that.

The shadow vanished.

Immediately after.

The darkness within the First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin began to recede like a tide.

A moment later.

The darkness disappeared entirely.

A slightly gaunt old man, with a bulbous red nose, appeared in front of Ye Chen.

Ye Chen gazed at Shi Fengchun, and his eyes involuntarily grew moist.

"Brother Chun."

His voice choked up.

Back then, upon learning that Shi Fengchun perished after slaying the Nine Emperors of the alien race, Ye Chen was devastated.

Now.

He finally saw Shi Fengchun alive and well!

Shi Fengchun stared at Ye Chen, his face wearing a habitual insincere smile.

Ye Chen: "Brother Chun, your smile is as fake as ever!"

Shi Fengchun chuckled: "Kid, not bad, with your own power, you can even slay a Great Emperor.

But your cunning ways of doing things, I don’t like. Always scheming this and that. It seems you’ve completely forgotten all the principles I taught you when you joined the True Martial Hall.

My Cangzhou True Martial Hall has always been upright, but you didn’t learn a thing from it!"

Ye Chen: "... Brother Chun, do you really have no self-awareness?"

The sly old fox has the nerve to say this!

Shi Fengchun: "Alright, I don’t have time to banter with you, if you have any questions, ask now, because I have to go later!"

Ye Chen: "Brother Chun, how did you replace the will inside the First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin?"

Shi Fengchun: "Yi Xiaoyao’s handiwork. In the previous era, Yi Xiaoyao secretly wiped out the will inside the First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin, so in this era, the First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin never merged with the other eight coffins.

And I actually come from the previous era as well.

Yi Xiaoyao vanquished the will of the First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin in the previous era and left an imprint of the coffin on me, then sealed my memories.

To prevent me from being discovered, Yi Xiaoyao did a lot of things to me, causing me to doubt my own identity while in Cangzhou, thinking sometimes I’m a reincarnator, sometimes a parasite, or sometimes a fate-defier.

Later.

You brought Yi Xiaoyao to the True Martial Hall.

I met Yi Xiaoyao.

That time, Yi Xiaoyao had a private conversation with me, released my sealed memories, and demanded I enter the First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin, and I couldn’t resist. So before entering the coffin, I was hurriedly urging you to take down the outer heavens of those three alien races.

As for Zhou Xiong’s death, it indeed enraged me.

Avenging Zhou Xiong, reckoning with the aliens, and slaughtering the Nine Emperors were things outside the plan."

After hearing this, Ye Chen said: "Brother Chun, what kind of person do you think Yi Xiaoyao is?"

Shi Fengchun looked at Ye Chen and said meaningfully, "You brat, you’ve truly grown up. The former you would have been hell-bent on slaying him for revenge because of your mother.

Honestly.

Yi Xiaoyao is a good man.

As the World Daoist Master of the previous era, when the era ended, he experienced the most terrifying pain and despair, but he endured it with supreme will.

In the struggle for eras.

Yi Xiaoyao did not follow the path of predecessors nor align with anyone; he wanted to end everything in his own way.

As for your mother...

Ye Chen, do you trust me?"

Shi Fengchun looked at Ye Chen and asked.

Ye Chen: "Brother Chun, continue."

Shi Fengchun: "You and your mother will have a moment of reunion. The destruction you saw is not the real destruction."

Ye Chen, with excitement in his voice, said: "So, my mother is still alive?! Yi Xiaoyao hid her away?"

Shi Fengchun nodded and said: "This time, he created this big commotion with only one purpose, which is to erase the traces of the Human Dao from everyone’s sight."

Ye Chen: "The traces of the Human Dao are on my mother, Yi Xiaoyao intentionally let the lighting of the Human Dao’s light fail, making everyone secretly observing think that my mother is already dead..."

Shi Fengchun: "That’s pretty much what it means, but the traces of the Human Dao have long been removed from your mother."

Ye Chen: "Where are they?"

Shi Fengchun looked at Ye Chen, saying nothing.

A look of shock appeared in Ye Chen’s eyes, and he said: "Brother Chun... the Human Dao’s traces... are on me?!"
