Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1254: Chapter 1253: Tracing the Origin, Transcending the Epoch!

Xinxin held the bronze fragment in her hand, curiously inspecting it.

Beside her, Ye Chen: "..."

Even though the aura released by the bronze fragment hadn’t accumulated to a severe level, every time he contacted the bronze fragment, Ye Chen had to supplement it with the power of the Celestial Stele Breathing Technique.

Otherwise.

His hand... couldn’t handle it.

Yet Xinxin held the bronze fragment naturally.

"Teacher, why is this thing so weird? It’s covered in moss, ew, so dirty, not fun at all."

After saying that,

she immediately threw the bronze fragment onto the ground.

Then she stuck out her tender pink tongue, hastily picked it up, and handed it to Ye Chen, saying: "Teacher... Xinxin didn’t mean to throw it, I just didn’t think that much just now..."

Ye Chen took the bronze fragment and said: "Xinxin, when you hold this thing, do you feel anything special?"

Xinxin thought for a moment and said: "Yes, it feels especially dirty!"

Ye Chen: "..."

Then.

With a thought,

he took out the intact bronze box he obtained from Lingxiao at the True Martial Hall Main Hall.

"Xinxin, take a look at this."

Xinxin looked over: "This one is even dirtier..."

Ye Chen: "... Try to see if you can open this box!"

Xinxin: "Okay!"

Though she was very disdainful, since Ye Chen asked, the little girl could only wrinkle her nose and take the bronze box in her hands.

Twist with all her might!

Pry with all her strength!

Almost wanted to bite with her teeth...

The bronze box remained unmoved.

Xinxin, deflated like a small rubber ball, said: "Teacher, this box gives me a special feeling..."

"Very dirty, right?" Ye Chen said helplessly.

Xinxin shook her head vigorously: "I feel like I’ve seen this box before, but I can’t recall the specifics. Let me think more carefully... inside, it seems to contain a... a... a stone!

Yes, a stone!"

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered.

It seems there are many questions about Xinxin’s origins.

But Ye Chen, with the Martial Arts Divine Eye, observed without seeing any anomaly.

Combining the fleeting burst of terrifying energy detected on Xinxin last time at the Alien Race Alliance Headquarters...

This matter needs careful attention!

After securing the bronze box, Ye Chen asked: "Xinxin, what type of inheritance do you plan to cultivate?"

Xinxin’s big eyes sparkled as she said: "I want to use a saber!"

Ye Chen: "Why?"

"Because the saber is powerful. If someone bullies me, I can chop them with one swing. Besides, when Xinxin becomes strong, we can claim to be the unparalleled duo of sword and saber, a match made in heaven, a perfect couple, golden boy and jade girl..."

Ye Chen: "Cough cough cough!"

The little girl has an impure mind!

"Are you sure you want to use a saber?"

Xinxin nodded earnestly, saying: "I’m sure."

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said: "The saber, compared to the sword, is slightly less nimble but more domineering, so the corresponding cultivation technique must emphasize fury and power."

Even though he walked the path of Sword Dao,

he held no prejudice against other Martial Dao paths.

Every form of Martial Dao exists for a reason.

Therefore, Ye Chen wouldn’t force his disciples to cultivate Sword Dao like him.

Liking and suitability are the best choices.

After speaking,

Ye Chen took out an Emperor Level cultivation technique and saber technique.

"This is something I obtained from the Celestial Burial Sea, created by a strong expert who achieved godhood through the saber. The cultivation technique is named Two-Cut Celestial Scripture, and the saber technique is named Two-Cut Saber."

These are the legacies of Xu Tiandao, the leader of the Martial Alliance.

Xinxin excitedly received the books on cultivation and martial arts, carefully hiding them in her arms.

Ye Chen: "You should cultivate here. If you encounter confusion, don’t act on your own accord."

After voicing his instructions,

Ye Chen’s figure flickered and vanished from the spot, appearing before the woman who had taken in Xinxin.

The woman was overwhelmed with fear and about to perform a grand gesture of respect.

Ye Chen: "No need to be nervous; I want to ask you a few questions."

"Young Master Ye, please speak."

Ye Chen: "Where did you find Xinxin?"

Woman: "In the Eastern Domain Yan Province, at the end of the eight hundred li Red River. I was passing by and found an infant wrapped in a swaddling cloth crying by the riverbank."

Ye Chen: "When you found Xinxin, did you notice anything unusual?"

The woman thought for a moment and said: "The swaddling cloth wrapping Xinxin had many things I couldn’t understand... they seemed like symbols."

Ye Chen: "Where is the swaddling cloth?"

Woman: "I kept it, intending for Xinxin to use it to find her origin once she grew up. However, later on, with the arrival of aliens, I fled with Xinxin, leaving the cloth behind...

The place where we lived was flattened by the aliens, so the swaddling cloth is probably destroyed too."

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered as he said: "Give me the precise address; I’ll go take a look!"

There is a high possibility that Xinxin is linked to the mysterious bronze artifact, which Ye Chen values greatly. If he could use this lead to uncover the secret of the bronze item, that would be ideal!

The woman then provided Ye Chen with the detailed location information.

Having acquired the specific details,

Ye Chen left a message with He Taiyuan and immediately departed the Asura Army’s headquarters, heading towards Yan Province!

...

Yan Province.

The eight hundred li Red River surged fiercely.

The river’s water was like blood, hence its name.

Ye Chen arrived where the woman found Xinxin, unleashing his powerful spiritual power.

Everything nearby became vividly perceptible to him.

No anomalies were present.

Ye Chen’s gaze wandered along the upstream of the Red River as he mumbled: "First find the swaddling cloth, then thoroughly investigate this Red River!"

With that thought,

Ye Chen disappeared from his location and reappeared above the ruins dozens of li away from the Red River.

This ruin.

Was where the woman and Xinxin once lived.

"Boom boom boom!"

Intense power erupted from Ye Chen’s body.

Everything in the ruins was swept into the sky.

Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed brightly as he raised a hand to grasp.

Next.

A swaddling cloth stained with dirt landed in Ye Chen’s hand.

Ye Chen, with a thought, had rainwater cleansing the cloth, and then evaporated moisture with heat. In an instant, all the dirt on the swaddling cloth was cleared away.

Buried in the ruins for several years.

Ordinary fabric would have long decayed.

But this swaddling cloth, once cleaned, appeared brand new.

As the woman had said, the inside of the cloth was filled with dense symbols. Ye Chen examined them carefully, but unfortunately, he didn’t recognize a single one!

"The bronze artifact might be something transcending eras. Could Xinxin, who can freely touch the bronze artifact, come from a world beyond this era? Are the symbols on her swaddling cloth also characters beyond this era?"

Ye Chen’s mind flooded with rapid thoughts.

Now.

The chaotic era is already complex enough.

Now emerging are issues beyond the era...

Just as Ye Chen was about to leave,

suddenly,

a subtle fluctuation appeared in the surrounding space’s aura.

Ye Chen immediately secured the swaddling cloth and looked towards the empty distant region, saying calmly: "Since you’re here, why hide? If you don’t come out, believe me, I’ll cut you down!"
