Supreme Sword God

Chapter 292: Chapter 291: Curse, Sword Seed Formation

”Seven-leaf seven-flower herb? What does it look like?” Ye Chen asked.

”I don’t know,” the Black Widow replied.

Ye Chen: ”...”

If you don’t know, why are you even looking for it?!

Then, Ye Chen took out all the spirit medicine he had picked and examined them one by one.

Judging by the name, this thing should have seven leaves and seven flowers.

Unfortunately, among the spirit medicine he had picked, there wasn’t such a thing.

The Black Widow also looked at the pile of spirit medicine in front of Ye Chen, and indeed there was no seven-leaf seven-flower herb that she needed. Her expression immediately darkened.

Unexpectedly.

She still couldn’t escape death.

If she had known this, she wouldn’t have tried detoxification the previous day; dying at least would have meant a clean end...

Ye Chen noticed the change in the Black Widow’s expression and said, ”This is just the beginning. Don’t give up. If you don’t push yourself, how will you know your true potential?

Facing death isn’t actually scary.

What’s scary is giving up in the face of death!”

The Black Widow smiled bitterly and said, ”My bloodline is cursed. All my family has died because of it. I found a high-level expert who told me that only a spirit medicine called seven-leaf seven-flower herb on the peak of Lingyun Mountain can dispel my curse.

Give up?

You think I want to give up?

You can’t even imagine how much effort my family put into breaking the curse!

None of them succeeded.

Perhaps.

This is our fate, something you can’t possibly understand!”

Perhaps it was because her end was near, the Black Widow revealed some of her secrets to the only man in her final moments.

Even if this man, in her view, was nothing more than a detoxification tool.

”Fate?”

Ye Chen sneered and said, ”Fate is always in your own hands!”

At this moment.

Ye Chen seemed to transform into another person in the Black Widow’s eyes.

Stubborn, resilient, as if nothing could make him yield!

”Sit tight, I’ll figure something out,” Ye Chen ordered.

With that, Ye Chen left the Black Widow for a bit, seemingly looking for the seven-leaf seven-flower herb elsewhere, but secretly using his spiritual power to call out to Luo Qingyi.

”Elder Qingyi, Elder Qingyi...”

”What’s this, feeling good? Want to share your experience?” Luo Qingyi’s voice was colder than ever.

”Elder Qingyi, what is the seven-leaf seven-flower herb?” Ye Chen didn’t bother explaining any further to Luo Qingyi; it wasn’t necessary, Luo Qingyi understood the situation.

”I don’t know,” Luo Qingyi responded coldly.

”I know!” Master Legs’ voice rang out.

”Master Legs, hurry and tell me!”

”There’s seven-leaf seven-flower herb at the summit of Lingyun Mountain. I’ve seen it before, but it was no use to me, so I didn’t pick it. It’s actually seven plants that look the same but are different colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen immediately remembered that among the pile of spirit medicine he had picked, there were indeed some that looked the same but were different colors!

”Thanks a lot, Master Legs!”

After speaking.

Ye Chen rushed back to the Black Widow and said, ”I know where the seven-leaf seven-flower herb is now!”

The Black Widow was stunned, looking at Ye Chen.

But she saw Ye Chen squat down and rummage through the pile of spirit medicine at his feet. He found seven plants that looked the same but were different colors, saying, ”These are the seven-leaf seven-flower herbs. How do I use them to save your life?”

The Black Widow was a bit dazed.

Seven-leaf seven-flower herb is seven spirit medicines?

The expert who advised her didn’t know this, so how did Ye Chen?

There was no other choice now; the Black Widow was very aware of her situation. The curse rooted in her bloodline had erupted, and if not resolved, she wouldn’t survive the day.

A last-ditch effort!

”Just eat them directly,” the Black Widow said.

Ye Chen handed the seven-leaf seven-flower herb to the Black Widow; she looked at Ye Chen with a complex expression.

”Are you touched?” Ye Chen said, ”I’m pretty generous. You didn’t have good intentions towards me before, but you didn’t really mean to take my life. Plus, we’ve had some connection, even if there’s no emotional foundation, I’m not devoid of compassion.”

The Black Widow said, ”I can only talk; I can’t move my hands or feet!”

”...”

Overthinking it, Ye Chen said, ”Should I feed you?”

”Mm.” The Black Widow’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, her face turned red again.

Ye Chen directly shoved a spirit medicine into her mouth.

”I can chew on my own!” the Black Widow quickly shouted...

”Oh.” Ye Chen then placed a spirit medicine into the Black Widow’s mouth.

Once the Black Widow swallowed all seven spirit medicines, a splendid seven-colored radiance erupted from her body.

Within this radiance, traces of dark energy could be seen dissipating slowly.

This dark energy seemed to be the curse’s power the Black Widow spoke of.

Seeing that the Black Widow seemed fine now, Ye Chen gathered up the remaining pile of spirit medicine and began attending to his own affairs.

”Elder Qingyi, Master Legs, these spirit medicines are of high grade. I want to use them to form a sword seed!”

It couldn’t be delayed any longer.

Since he couldn’t collect the Holy Source Grass for the time being, he would use these spirit medicines to attempt to condense a sword seed!

”Okay!” Luo Qingyi transmitted.

”Some of these are poisons; I’ll help you sort them out,” Master Legs transmitted.

With Master Legs’ guidance, Ye Chen separated out some poisons and put away some unsuitable for direct consumption, then swallowed the rest!

As the energy contained in each spirit medicine exploded within Ye Chen’s body, he pushed the Nine Heavens Sword Scripture Technique to its limits!

In his dantian.

Ten Primordial Wheels spun rapidly, sword energy stirred, producing a series of booming sounds!

Under Ye Chen’s control, the ten Primordial Wheels formed a large circle in his dantian.

The center of the circle erupted with a powerful gravitational force.

This force gathered the power contained in the Primordial Wheels, evolving into the shape of a small sword.

......

Lingyun Mountain, at the location near the peak where a barrier was, a large group of people had gathered.

A woman wearing Thousand Spirits Sect clothes looked at a man and said, ”Senior Brother Shen, we’ve searched for so long and still haven’t found Ye Chen. Could he have hidden at the mountain peak?”

The ”Senior Brother Shen” she mentioned was Shen Jie, the leading prodigy from the Thousand Spirits Sect on this trip to Lingyun Mountain.

Shen Jie narrowed his eyes slightly and said, ”This barrier is extremely difficult to break. If Ye Chen had that kind of power, he wouldn’t need to hide from us.”

Zhou Chengqian, standing on the side, stepped forward and said, ”Brother Shen, perhaps someone is helping Ye Chen.”

Li Tianyi chimed in, ”If Ye Chen really climbed up to the peak, it’s actually a good thing. This barrier is akin to a cage. It’s hard to go up and also hard to come down. As long as we break through the barrier together and find Ye Chen, it’ll be like catching a turtle in a jar!”

Shen Jie nodded and said, ”Zhou Chengqian, Li Tianyi, then you two should join forces to penetrate the barrier.”

Zhou Chengqian and Li Tianyi’s expressions changed suddenly.

From Shen Jie’s tone, the Thousand Spirits Sect intended for them to take the lead...

Shen Jie didn’t bother with what they thought, saying, ”If you don’t want to, then stay away from our Thousand Spirits Sect’s group. We’ll handle it ourselves.”

”You’ve misunderstood, Brother Shen,” Zhou Chengqian quickly replied with a smile, then waved his hand, beckoning a group of people behind him to step forward.

Li Tianyi also gestured, signaling the Sect Alliance members to move ahead.

The two groups of people erupted with powerful energy, attacking the barrier together.

”Boom!”

The barrier trembled.

At the peak of the mountain, Ye Chen also heard the sounds of explosions. By this time, the ten Primordial Wheels in his dantian had disappeared, leaving only an ethereal, transparent small sword.

The sword seed hadn’t fully condensed yet, and this current state was equivalent to what others referred to as the Half-Step Primordial Embryo Realm.

However, even at the Half-Step Primordial Embryo Realm, Ye Chen’s combat strength had seen a significant increase.

Ye Chen ceased the operation of his cultivation technique, pulled out the Celestial Mark Sword that was beside him, and walked towards the source of the booming sounds!
