Supreme Sword God

Chapter 916: Chapter 915: Spirit Dao Breakthrough, Old Wang

Under the sea, at the fake ruins.

A layer of power surged over Ye Chen’s body, isolating the seawater.

The place Senior Uncle Liu Mubai had arranged wasn’t chosen randomly.

This was indeed a relic site, but everything inside had long since been dug clean.

Liu Mubai had rearranged an Annihilation Array here, just waiting for those people to arrive; once the array erupted, it could blast all enemies to death.

Ye Chen sat cross-legged at the array core, circulating his Cultivation Technique and cultivating.

Not long after, Luo Qingyi’s voice transmission echoed in his mind.

“These three strands of Divine Sense have been checked, no problem, you can use them.”

Ye Chen’s heart stirred with excitement, and he immediately drew the three strands of Divine Sense out from the Sword Tomb.

The Unique Ultimate Celestial Spirit Seal had already reached the peak of the eighth stage before he came to the Celestial Burial Sea.

Lately, it had made further progress; one could say his Spirit Dao cultivation was only separated from the ninth stage by a final, film-thin barrier.

Even if Ye Chen slowly cultivated on his own, he would at most need two or three months to break through the barrier and step into the ninth stage.

Now that he had three strands of Divine Sense in hand, today would be the day his Spirit Dao stepped into the ninth stage!

He absorbed the three strands of Divine Sense.

In an instant, his Spiritual Power boiled within Ye Chen’s Sea of Consciousness.

A day passed.

A dense golden light flickered at the center of Ye Chen’s brows, illuminating even the seabed.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, the Unique Ultimate Celestial Spirit Seal trembled, bursting out with an extreme edge.

The final thin membrane was finally pierced through.

An incomparably comfortable sensation surfaced in Ye Chen’s heart, as if his whole body were wrapped in a warm power.

Spirit Dao, ninth stage!

“Come out!”

Right then, Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes and shouted.

Just now, when his Spirit Dao broke through, a faint disturbance appeared nearby and was caught by Ye Chen.

“Hahaha, what sharp insight.” A loud laugh rang out as a burly man revealed his figure and flew over near Ye Chen.

Ye Chen’s heart tightened.

Emperor Realm?

This guy’s body carried the aura of the Emperor Realm!

Ye Chen was no stranger to the Emperor Realm; he’d come into contact with many, and even killed a few, there was no way he’d mistake it.

This… Senior Uncle cast the bait with me… and hooked an Emperor Realm… this wasn’t a joke; the array Senior Uncle had set up here couldn’t handle an Emperor Realm.

Ye Chen’s thoughts grew heavy, but his face remained calm as he said, “Was I cultivating here and disturbed Senior? If so, I apologize to Senior.”

The burly man let out a hearty laugh and said, “No need to be nervous, you didn’t affect me. If I wanted to harm you, the array Liu Mubai set up would’ve been shattered by me long ago.”

Ye Chen: “…”

“Senior knows my Senior Uncle?”

The burly man laughed and said, “Your Senior Uncle asked me to come help you. Relying on an array alone isn’t reliable; with me here, no matter how many come, I’ll kill however many.”

Ye Chen still hadn’t relaxed his guard.

If Senior Uncle had arranged for an Emperor Realm Powerhouse, there was no way he wouldn’t tell him.

“Since Senior was invited by my Senior Uncle to help, then you’re one of us. How should I address Senior?”

The burly man thought for a moment and said, “Just call me Old Wang.”

Old turtle Wang?

Ye Chen’s expression turned strange.

The burly man also realized that line just now was a bit off. He coughed lightly, a little embarrassed, and said, “Old Wang!”

In the distance.

The Battling Monk quickly left with two people in tow.

“Master of Wine, the Young Master’s perception is too terrifying. That idiot Old Wang just leaked a trace of aura in shock just now, and he was actually discovered by the Young Master…”

The Battling Monk snorted coldly and said, “The Young Miss said we shouldn’t expose too much for now, just protect the Young Master in secret. Since Old Wang is exposed, let him guard the Young Master openly; then we don’t have to follow the Young Master at all times.”

The other person nodded and said, “Not many in the Ten Thousand Islands Sect and the Inner Sea Three Alliances know Old Wang. That’s good—Old Wang guarding the Young Master in the open doesn’t have a high chance of being exposed. After all, the identities of us people from the Seventy-Two Islands are a bit troublesome.”

“Right, that Yin Tian of the Spirit Alliance, can we trust him?”

The Battling Monk said blandly, “I never told Yin Tian the Young Master’s identity. At most he thinks the Young Master has some connection to me. It’s no problem asking him to help with such a small matter.

As for having Yin Tian hand over Divine Sense, he also doesn’t know I’m passing it on to the Young Master.

The pressing matter now is to make the arrangements over at the forbidden area.

Based on my understanding of the Young Master, he will definitely go to the forbidden area. The forbidden area is perilous; we must ensure the Young Master’s safety when he goes there.”

One person nodded, while the other stayed silent. After a while, one of them said, “Master of Wine, what kind of person is the Young Master? Actually, I’m not the only one who wants to know—everyone from the Seventy-Two Islands wants to know. After all, we’re all taking risks now!”

The Battling Monk thought for a bit and said, “If you treat him with affection and loyalty, he’ll be willing to stand against the whole world for you.”

“Master of Wine, if someone else said that, I wouldn’t believe it, but since you said it, I do!”

“In that case, it doesn’t matter. Even if the Young Master wants to flip the Celestial Burial Sea upside down, we definitely won’t retreat!”

……

“Old Wang, you live down here in the sea?” Ye Chen asked.

Old Wang: “We cultivators take the four seas as our home.”

Ye Chen: “Then you’ve been to many places in the Celestial Burial Sea?”

“Places that can be visited and places that can’t, I’ve pretty much been to all of them,” Old Wang said.

Ye Chen found that this Old Wang was quite chatty and didn’t seem to harbor any ill will toward him, so he continued, “Then have you been to the place where the Nine Celestial Burial Coffins are?”

Old Wang’s face flushed red. He shook his head and said, “No one can go there at all!”

Ye Chen said, “Got it. Then Old Wang, have you been to the region where that Celestial Dao Cage in the Celestial Burial Sea is located?”

Old Wang’s neck flushed bright red as he said, “No!”

Ye Chen: “What about the forbidden area? Old Wang, with your Emperor Realm strength, you should’ve been to the forbidden area, right!”

Old Wang: “…I haven’t!”

Old Wang, the Emperor Realm Powerhouse, was extremely embarrassed at this moment.

Just now he’d said he’d been to almost all places that could and couldn’t be visited.

Ye Chen had fired off three questions in a row, and he hadn’t been to any of them; he couldn’t keep up appearances.

Ye Chen felt a bit disappointed; he’d wanted to fish for some information…

The two of them faced each other in silence.

After a moment, Ye Chen broke the silence and said, “Old Wang, I’m looking for someone in the Inner Sea. You’ve surely seen a lot; help me see if you recognize him.”

Old Wang’s heart clenched; he thought Ye Chen wanted to look for Yun Ying, who was trapped in the Celestial Dao Cage.

Ye Chen waved his hand casually, and his power condensed into Liu Mubai’s likeness.

Old Wang, who’d just breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, “Don’t know him.”

Ye Chen smiled and said, “Then it’s fine, I’ll look for him myself.”

He’d always thought something was off about Old Wang; now he was even more certain.

Just earlier, he’d said Liu Mubai had called him over to help, but in the end, he didn’t even know Liu Mubai.

Ye Chen didn’t expose him; if Old Wang got angry out of embarrassment, that would be troublesome.

After that, Ye Chen silently cultivated for another two days.

During this time, Old Wang stayed not far away, with no intention of leaving at all.

That day, Old Wang suddenly spoke up, “Someone’s coming, I’ll go take a look first.”

Ye Chen: “Old Wang, hide your aura a bit, or you’ll scare people away. We have to wait until they’re all gathered before we make a move.”

Old Wang grunted in acknowledgment, his aura suddenly dropping to the level of the Dharma Realm. Then his figure flickered and disappeared from Ye Chen’s sight.

Ye Chen muttered to himself, “Old Wang comes from the Celestial Burial Sea Inner Sea. An Emperor Realm Powerhouse definitely wouldn’t help me for no reason. And a few days ago, I picked up three strands of Divine Sense…

In the Inner Sea, who would help me?”

He pondered for a moment but couldn’t figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

A big wave of people coming to court death is about to arrive; kill them all first, then think about the rest!
