Supreme Sword God

Chapter 624: Chapter 623: No Problem, Entering the Forbidden Land

Inside the true Moon Palace, it was cold and deserted, lifeless in all directions.

Yang Tianji quickly traversed the internal space of the Moon Palace with Ye Chen. Shortly after, a stone tablet appeared in front of them.

Two large characters were engraved on the stone tablet.

Forbidden Area!

”Teacher, is this the core of the Sacred Artifact?” Ye Chen asked.

The stone tablet served as a boundary line; behind the tablet, the space was filled with intense moonlight.

”You know the secret of the Moon Palace?” Yang Tianji spoke with a hint of surprise in his voice.

Ye Chen replied, ”I not only know that the Moon Palace is a Sacred Artifact, but I also know how you just harnessed the power of the Moon Palace, Teacher. You sacrificed yourself, laid down your life to help me... right?”

As he said this, Ye Chen’s heart felt heavy.

Yang Tianji’s eyes flashed, and he said lightly, ”It’s no big deal, the sacrifice wasn’t much and didn’t touch my core essence. Also, it should be your two friends who told you these things.

When you were beside me, I sensed hidden spiritual power fluctuations appearing. Later, you inadvertently glanced at those two people. They only have the strength of the Heaven-Reaching Realm, but their skills are remarkable, probably even Bright Mirror Pan Yuanjiang didn’t notice them.”

Ye Chen: ”...”

”Teacher... Brother Chun and Brother Lin are very strong, both are in the Saint Realm!”

Yang Tianji’s eyes widened.

Ye Chen continued, ”Brother Chun is that old man with squinty eyes when he smiles, the Hall Master of the Cangzhou True Martial Hall. Everyone thinks he’s just an ordinary Saint Realm, but Brother Chun is very cunning. I suspect he’s a Great Saint. He not only masters the Thunder Law but also the unknown Death Law!

Brother Lin is that gentlemanly-looking old man, the Grand Pavilion Master of the Cangzhou Celestial Soldier Pavilion. He’s quite righteous and generous. Although there were benefits involved in my interactions with him, I find him to be a very nice person.”

Yang Tianji gasped.

Goodness gracious.

He thought they were two Heaven-Reaching Realm experts with special abilities, but they are actually two big shots from Cangzhou!

The key point is Ye Chen’s way of addressing them.

Brother Chun, Brother Lin... this relationship seems quite extraordinary!

”Regarding your visit to the Cangzhou True Martial Hall, I beat Yu Sheng up; he told me about it. I was planning to go there as well, fearing you might suffer grievances, but something unexpected happened here at the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom.” Yang Tianji sighed.

”It’s good that Teacher didn’t go...” Ye Chen muttered softly.

If Teacher had gone to the Cangzhou True Martial Hall, he would’ve been beaten to death... Fusion of Spirit and Martial is impressive, but Teacher still isn’t strong enough.

Yang Tianji’s face turned grim.

From Ye Chen’s words, does he think my strength is lacking?

Clearing his throat, Yang Tianji burst forth his aura, the sun and moon appeared, and his mighty presence was terrifying.

”Teacher, is this your Dharma Form?” Ye Chen curiously asked.

Yang Tianji nodded.

Ye Chen looked at Yang Tianji and said, ”Teacher, why are you showing off your Dharma Form for no reason?”

Yang Tianji: ”...”

Ye Chen suddenly realized and immediately said, ”Teacher has reached the Dharma Realm, that’s amazing!”

Yang Tianji grew even more embarrassed and quickly retracted his Dharma Form.

Ye Chen laughed and said, ”Teacher, now that you’re in the Dharma Realm, with your Fusion of Spirit and Martial, can you defeat those who have just entered the Saint Realm?”

Yang Tianji: ”...No, in battles across greater realms, the higher the level, each gap is a chasm. But in your case...maybe there’s a chance!”

He couldn’t quite understand his own disciple, Yang Tianji pondered, but he always seemed to be creating possibilities out of impossibilities!

Ye Chen didn’t mind, he just asked casually and never expected Teacher to confront the strong enemies of the Saint Realm. In the future, he ought to give him a good retirement, couldn’t let the old man fight desperately. But for now, the main business was what’s important, so he said, ”Teacher, let’s move the Sacred Artifact, the Moon Palace, together!”

”Impossible!” Yang Tianji’s face turned serious, ”If the Moon Palace is moved away from the Moon Capital, the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom will immediately collapse!”

”The Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom is already a rotting structure; overthrowing it would be better, allowing a new order to be established. Cangzhou is about to face a catastrophe, and the current Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom has been sealed off for too long, entirely unprepared to face such calamities!”

”Cangzhou’s catastrophe? What’s going on?”

Ye Chen briefly explained the overall situation of the Eastern Region and Cangzhou’s plight.

After listening, Yang Tianji fell into silence.

Ye Chen said, ”Teacher, this is the result of the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom’s self-imposed isolation. They have no idea what has happened outside, you saw it just now.

Those like Ming Hao, their talents are indeed excellent, but their combat efficiency is too lacking, and they completely lack any sense of life and death combat awareness.

Such a Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom, do you still wish to guard it, Teacher? Its essence has already decayed and cannot be saved!”

After a long silence, Yang Tianji said, ”If Cangzhou truly falls into chaos, then the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom must not also crumble, because... the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom suppresses the largest Demonic Lair in the entire Cangzhou!”

Ye Chen: ”The largest Demonic Lair?”

Yang Tianji replied, ”This is the core secret of the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom. The Demonic Lair is right below the Moon Capital, and the Moon Palace seals the only exit of the Demonic Lair!”

Ye Chen was stunned.

So there was such a secret?!

If that’s the case, from a strategic perspective for Cangzhou, maintaining the stability of the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom is indeed necessary!

”But the current High Priest Bright Mirror and the Third Priest Pan Yuanjiang, they’re the cancer. Once chaos erupts, these two old fellows will become the hidden danger. Teacher, could the power of the Moon Palace eliminate the two of them?”

Yang Tianji shook his head and said, ”The power of the Moon Palace can at most restrain them. Bright Mirror is a Great Saint who masters the Space Law, and Pan Yuanjiang is just a step away from being a Great Saint.

Even with Brother Chun and Brother Lin’s help, there is little chance of success, and they absolutely cannot act lightly. If they engage in a life-and-death battle, the Moon Capital will certainly descend into chaos.

Demons from the Demon Race often lurk near the Moon Capital, constantly waiting for an opportunity to break the seal and release their kind beneath the Moon Capital.

However, there is another secret within the Moon Palace. The previous generation Moon God moved the Dragon Vein of the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom into the Moon Palace. The intention was to use the combined power of the Moon Palace and the Dragon Vein to destroy the Demons here once and for all, but unfortunately, the previous Moon God met with an unexpected mishap.”

”The Dragon Vein of the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom is also here?” Ye Chen was astonished; this Moon Palace seemed too complicated.

”Teacher, let me go in and take a look!” said Ye Chen.

”You cannot enter!”

”Why not?”

”This is a forbidden area of the Moon Palace, where the extreme power of the Sacred Artifact congregates. I can enter because, when I was young, the previous Moon God left a wisp of my aura inside, granting me some recognition from the Artifact Spirit of the Moon Palace.

Bright Mirror and Pan Yuanjiang can enter only within a hundred-zhang area.

This is why I’ve been able to confront them in the Moon Palace for so long.”

Ye Chen nodded and said, ”Teacher, let me try.”

Saying this, Ye Chen secretly operated the power of the Soldier Character Secret and stepped into the dense moonlight.

Yang Tianji was ready, prepared to pull Ye Chen out at any sign of distress. Since they were only at the edge, there was time. He knew Ye Chen’s nature well enough to understand that whatever Ye Chen wanted to do, he would do it.

However.

When Ye Chen stepped into that dense moonlight, Yang Tianji was stunned.

No hint of rejection at all?

Ye Chen turned his head, looked at Yang Tianji, and smiled, ”Teacher, it’s no big deal, let’s go in together as teacher and pupil for a look around!”
