Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1233: Chapter 1232: The Greatest Opportunity in the Forbidden Zone!

Ye Chen held the bronze box in his hand.

His brows furrowed slightly.

Lingxiao immediately stepped forward and said, "How is it?"

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "It won’t open. It seems like it’s missing something crucial!"

It still needs a key!

Otherwise.

There’s no way to open this box.

The projection of the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele could suppress the aura of this bronze box only because the power inside the bronze box hadn’t truly been released.

Like that piece of bronze fragment in his Sword Tomb, the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele couldn’t deal with it; he had to borrow the traces of time!

"The ten great Forbidden Techniques of the True Martial Hall combined give me a feeling, as if they only opened up some kind of guidance to search for this box. Most likely, they’re not actually the key to opening it." Lingxiao said.

Ye Chen: "Grand Hall Master, those ten Forbidden Techniques, who left them behind?"

Lingxiao: "The one who founded the True Martial Hall, that is, my master!"

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered.

The person who founded the True Martial Hall had once left behind endless glory in this world.

At its peak, the True Martial Hall spread across the five great regions of east, west, south, north, and center!

Ye Chen had once heard others mention this, and back then he had only felt amazement, respect, and an inability to imagine what kind of achievement that was.

But now.

He had gone through too many things, seen too many schemes and layouts hidden in the dark.

The one who founded the True Martial Hall had left behind ten Forbidden Techniques that could actually guide Lingxiao to find such a mysterious bronze box.

If you say there’s nothing wrong with that person at all... Ye Chen would never believe it, not in a thousand, not in ten thousand lifetimes!

Suddenly.

Lingxiao added, "Ye Chen, I suspect that my master... is still alive."

Ye Chen’s gaze flashed as he said, "Grand Hall Master, what clues have you found?"

Lingxiao: "Back when something went wrong with Shi Fengchun, I kept feeling it might be related to my master. As for clues... I couldn’t find any. But when my master fell into annihilation back then, I was right beside him. It all happened too suddenly. Thinking back on it now, everything feels wrong, everywhere you look!"

"Grand Hall Master, I’ll tell you a secret."

"What secret?"

"My Brother Chun isn’t dead yet."

"Truly? Then where is he now?" Lingxiao was clearly shocked.

Ye Chen: "As for where exactly he went for the time being, I’m not sure either. But right now he’s very powerful—ten of me added together probably wouldn’t be enough for him to beat up. On my Brother Chun, there’s the layout of an extremely terrifying old monster.

If.

Your master also made a move on Brother Chun.

That would mean your master is definitely an incomparably powerful existence as well!"

The scheme set on Shi Fengchun’s body was the handiwork of Yi Xiaoyao, the World Daoist Master of the previous era.

Yi Xiaoyao’s strength was such that even someone like Ye Chen, with his kind of temperament, felt a chill in his heart whenever he thought of it.

To meddle where Yi Xiaoyao had laid out his plans required not only courage, but strength as well!

Lingxiao was silent for a moment, then said, "Ye Chen, take this box with you. At least for now, it proves that you have a hope of opening it. That’s a good thing."

Ye Chen didn’t refuse and put it away directly.

That same day.

Ye Chen left the True Martial Hall Main Hall area together with Chi Mutian.

It was about time to return to Cangzhou!

As for Hua Qianxue, she planned to first return with her master Qin Rhyme to the Flower God Sect, then go to Cangzhou and reunite with Ye Chen.

......

When Ye Chen had left the True Martial Hall Main Hall.

After a busy day, Lingxiao stayed alone and took a short rest.

Suddenly.

An overwhelming wave of exhaustion swept through his entire body.

Even having stepped into the God level, Lingxiao couldn’t resist it at all and directly fell into a deep sleep.

In a daze.

He arrived in a hazy space.

Within the hazy space, there was a vague and illusory figure.

Lingxiao’s heart trembled.

The blurry figure vaguely appeared to be a white-haired old man with kindly brows and kind eyes.

"Lingxiao, congratulations. You’ve become a god."

"Master!"

Realizing who it was, Lingxiao immediately knelt down and bowed.

The old man’s phantom lightly waved his arm, and Lingxiao’s body was lifted up.

"Lingxiao, at this moment, do you have many questions in your heart?"

Lingxiao: "Master... there is one thing this disciple wishes to receive your definite answer on."

The old man’s phantom: "You have already become a god, so you now have the qualifications to know more things. As your master, I will naturally answer as much as I can for you."

Lingxiao: "Master, you’re still alive, aren’t you?"

On that blurry face of the old man, it seemed as if a faint smile appeared as he said, "Mm, but as your master I still have many matters to attend to. For now, it’s inconvenient to truly reunite with you in the real sense."

Lingxiao: "Master, that box..."

The old man’s phantom: "I’ll explain some things to you.

That box is something your master has been guarding.

Your master has remained alive all this time for the sake of this mission!

Now.

The box has finally reached its true owner. From here on, you don’t need to concern yourself with it. Just let things take their natural course."

Lingxiao: "Master, the human race is now beset by crisis on all sides. This disciple is often confused and doesn’t know how to respond..."

The old man’s phantom: "You’ve already done well enough.

It’s just that in this world, there are too many things that can’t go the way we wish.

What’s more.

Right now is the period when the chaotic situation of this era is about to reveal its final outcome; countless hands will stretch out from the shadows.

You only need to remember: no matter when, be yourself.

If.

There are times when you truly feel you can’t hold on anymore.

Then just stop for a while, think back to the past, and find your original belief.

The end of chaos is destruction, but also rebirth through fire.

The decayed will eventually pass away.

The light of hope will illuminate everything!"

Lingxiao: "Master, what was your original intention when you established the True Martial Hall? This question is very important to me!"

He badly wanted to figure out whether the master he respected most was good or evil!

The old man’s phantom: "Back then, I had already witnessed too much destruction and darkness, so I wanted to try and see if I could use another way to change something in this chaotic situation.

The facts proved that I failed.

Enough, Lingxiao, the imprint of your master’s power cannot remain for too long. Before I leave, I’ll remind you of one more thing.

If you get the chance, you must enter the Forbidden Zone of the Eastern Region.

Inside lies the greatest opportunity and fortune among all the Forbidden Zones of this world!"

As those words fell.

The old man’s phantom collapsed and dispersed with a boom.

The sleeping Lingxiao woke up.

Everything was like a dream.

In fact, it was indeed a dream.

His master had used a Supreme Skill to enter his dream!

......

On the other side.

On the way back to Cangzhou, Ye Chen and Chi Mutian were rushing along.

"Lao Chi, I’ve had a bold idea lately," Ye Chen suddenly said.

Chi Mutian: "What big thing are you trying to pull this time?"

Ye Chen: "I feel that this Divine Finger of yours has disrupted the balance of your power. You’re relying too much on the divine aura of that piece of finger. Why not be decisive and just chop the finger off and abandon it, let your own strength return to a normal peak Great Emperor level, and then go charge for the God level again."

Chi Mutian: "..."

There was such a saying?

Ye Chen was speechless.

Lao Chi’s brain actually wasn’t working at a time like this.

Of course, that line was something Ye Chen had made up on the spot.

He’d only come up with it because Lao Chi had recently been acting like he was always holding something back but didn’t dare say it, so Ye Chen wanted to give him a hand.

Lao Chi’s finger, or the ring he was wearing, definitely had a problem.

Cut it off.

Seal it.

Once Lao Chi could say what he wanted, naturally everything would come out!

"Lao Chi, do you trust me?"

Chi Mutian: "I do!"

Ye Chen: "Then are you going to cut it yourself, or do you want me to help you?"

Chi Mutian: "I’ll do it myself!"

As his words fell.

The madman Chi Mutian directly snapped off his own Divine Finger...

Ye Chen immediately formed the Celestial Master Chen Seal with his hands, set up a Divine Stone Array, and sealed Chi Mutian’s finger.

Even so, he still wasn’t at ease and added another layer of Ancient Divine Array!

At this moment, seeing how clean and decisive Ye Chen’s movements were, Chi Mutian widened his eyes and said, "Ye Chen, you already knew?"
