Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1261: Chapter 1260: Primordial Era, Encountering the Daoist Again

The old man snorted and said, "Stop kissing up here."

He continued.

After clearing his throat, he said, "You, with that shameless look, actually remind me of someone."

Ye Chen: "The person who reminds the elder must be remarkable."

The old man: "So, you want to say you’re remarkable too? How did you overlook me calling you shameless?"

Ye Chen: "Elder, tell me about this person."

The old man: "Your brother."

Ye Chen: ???

"Aren’t you called Yi Xiaochen?"

Ye Chen: "So, the person who reminds the elder is Yi Xiaoyao?"

The old man nodded and said, "When he was about your age, he was just as thick-skinned as you are."

Ye Chen was shocked.

When Yi Xiaoyao was around the same age as himself... he also shamelessly bothered the old man?

"Elder, may I ask how many epochs you’ve lived?"

The old man looked at Ye Chen meaningfully.

Ye Chen was full of anticipation to know the answer.

The old man: "Why should I tell you?"

Ye Chen: "...Elder, have you always been guarding this ancient well?"

"Hmm."

"What’s in the ancient well that it’s worth you guarding it so diligently, elder?"

The old man: "What does it have to do with you?"

Ye Chen: "...Elder, can you read the text inside this ancient well?"

The old man: "Aren’t you fiddling about just to know this?"

Ye Chen: "..."

Talking to this old man is really exhausting!

The old man: "So young and yet so long-winded, talking to you is really tiring!"

Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Elder, I want to learn to read, teach me!"

Just be direct about it!

The old man: "I can teach you, but you have to promise me one thing."

"Please tell me, elder."

The old man: "Protect that girl, no matter the cost, nothing must happen to her. If you promise, I will teach you to read the script from the Primordial Era!"

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered.

This old man was quite cunning.

He wanted Ye Chen to make such a huge promise while also dangling an important piece of information as a lure.

Ye Chen: "Elder, can you tell me what the Primordial Era is?"

The old man: "The beginning of everything. Humankind, the Demon Race, the Divine Race... all life in the Three Thousand Worlds, as well as the sky, the earth, the oceans, the air, etc., were born in that era.

It was the inception of all things, the origin of everything.

After the Primordial Era.

The Three Thousand Worlds came into existence.

The cycle of epochs on this Celestial Essence Continent began."

His words were enough to sound mysterious.

Ye Chen’s curiosity was piqued to the extreme.

But the old man stopped at that and didn’t continue.

Ye Chen staring longingly at him was useless.

"Elder, the girl you mentioned is now my disciple, I will definitely protect her. Everyone who knows me knows that for the people around me, I will stop at nothing!"

The old man nodded and said, "If it weren’t for knowing that, I would have already knocked you over the head with a stick."

Ye Chen: "...Elder, is that bronze object also from the Primordial Era?"

This time.

It was the old man’s turn to be shocked.

Without needing a response, Ye Chen already guessed the answer.

The bronze object must be a product of the Primordial Era!

"Elder, what’s the purpose of the bronze object?"

The old man: "Do you still want to learn the script of the Primordial Era?"

Ye Chen: "I do, please guide me, elder!"

The old man: "Then you can go back."

Ye Chen: ???

"Elder, are you... making fun of me?"

The old man: "The girl naturally knows how to read those scripts, just go back and ask her."

At this moment.

Ye Chen’s expression turned stiff.

After going around in circles.

He actually had to go back and have his disciple Xinxin teach him how to read!

It felt like the old man had tricked him.

Ye Chen: "Elder, meeting is fate, and we also get along. Why don’t we..."

Before Ye Chen could finish, the old man said, "I don’t even want to deal with you."

Ye Chen was snubbed.

There’s no point in arguing with the old man; respecting the elderly and caring for the young is a traditional virtue of Humankind, so Ye Chen tried his best to maintain a smile: "Elder, then I’m leaving."

The old man nodded.

Ye Chen’s figure flickered and left.

After Ye Chen left, the old man suddenly laughed.

"Interesting kid, Yi Xiaoyao actually considers handing him the ultimate legacy of the Human Emperor. If he truly inherits it, he might just be the most unreliable Human Emperor in history.

But... that’s fine too!

All the reliable Human Emperors have failed.

An unreliable Human Emperor might just succeed... hopefully... he will succeed!

This chaotic mess can’t afford another failure."

...

At this moment.

Having left the ancient well, Ye Chen’s thoughts were racing.

It was really interesting.

The chaotic situation of the epochs wasn’t even fully understood yet.

And now the Primordial Era appears.

It’s all a mess.

But... it’s also a time full of countless opportunities.

In chaotic times, only then can a dominant lord capable of ruling everything emerge!

Not thinking about these matters anymore, Ye Chen directly took out the Storage Ring of the Purple Crystal Emperor, retrieving the celestial gate to the Purple Crystal Race’s Outer Heaven.

Since he was already in Yan Province, after slaying all the strong ones from the Purple Crystal Race, he certainly couldn’t miss the Celestial Stele Imprint of the Purple Crystal Race’s Outer Heaven.

If he didn’t rush in to snatch it.

Someone else might get it!

When Ye Chen arrived at the Purple Crystal Race’s Outer Heaven.

Without saying a word.

He directly unleashed a set of Infinite Star Sword Array.

After a round of slaughter, which intimidated all members of the Purple Crystal Race, Ye Chen locked onto the Celestial Stele Imprint’s aura on the Purple Crystal Race’s side.

However.

When Ye Chen arrived, he couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

A beady-eyed Daoist was sneakily fidgeting in front of the Celestial Stele Imprint!

Perhaps too engrossed.

He hadn’t even noticed Ye Chen’s arrival.

"Daoist Juechen, what a coincidence," Ye Chen lightly coughed and said.

To be honest.

He really wanted to slash this Juechen on the back of his head.

But... he might not die from it anyway.

Being harmonious and agreeable is just fine; there’s no need for fighting and killing.

The key is, he can’t compete with a True God right now!

"Oh, fate truly is mysterious, Younger Brother Yi, how come you’re here too?"

Ye Chen: "Just came to see, Daoist Juechen, why are you here too?"

Juechen: "Just wandering around."

Ye Chen: "Does the Daoist want this thing?"

Juechen righteously said, "It’s not that I want it, this thing was actually stolen by the Purple Crystal Race from our Knowledge and Action Temple, so I’m here to take it back."

Ye Chen: "What a coincidence, my brother also said this thing is his, and asked me to retrieve it."

Saying that.

Ye Chen focused his thoughts.

The shadows of the three Celestial Stele Imprints with the same origin appeared.

Ye Chen: "See, Daoist, I’m not lying to you."

Juechen’s mouth went stiff, "Younger Brother Yi, you’re being unreasonable."

Ye Chen: "I’m really looking forward to you reasoning with my brother. Honestly, my brother is quite hot-tempered, always talking about wanting to kill this or take out that, even I can’t stand it.

If Daoist Juechen could calm my brother down, I would be immensely grateful. Of course, if you could teach him a lesson, nothing would be better; it would save me from seeing him strut around with his nose in the air all day!"

Juechen forced out a pale smile.

Teach Yi Xiaoyao a lesson?

Got a death wish?
