Supreme Sword God

Chapter 658: Chapter 657: Sanctification of the Flesh, Birth of Divine Techniques

The statues of the ancestors of the Iron Armor Race and the Green Ghost Race on both sides seem to have been tampered with... There is a secret marking on the chest of the statues.

However, the statue of the ancestor of the Celestial Eye Race in the middle does not have similar traces!

”Is it Brother Chun’s handiwork?”

Ye Chen muttered, ”Could it be that Brother Chun has already been here and taken the treasures from two of these three statues?”

Having discovered the clue, Ye Chen did not act immediately.

The forceful rebound caused by that sword strike when entering was not something to be trifled with.

A few more times, and I can’t hold on!

Ye Chen’s gaze focused on the abnormal parts of the statues, examining them meticulously with his Martial Arts Celestial Eye.

Traces were revealed little by little, like peeling layers.

After several hours, Ye Chen finally figured it out.

”The statues of the Iron Armor Race and the Green Ghost Race are actually completely meaningless, only the statue of the Celestial Eye Race still has a trace of special energy slowly emanating.

So, my previous sword strike only triggered the rebound of the Celestial Eye Race statue’s power, the statues of the Green Ghost Race and the Iron Armor Race are just mere decorations.

What a close call... Fortunately, it was like this, otherwise, the rebound from the power of three statues would have severely injured or even killed me!

Brother Chun also set up some illusions, making the power of the Celestial Eye Race statue cover the statues of the Iron Armor Race and the Green Ghost Race, thus deceiving all.

In the usual situation, the three major alien races would not send strong individuals into the Transformation Pool, as it is used to nurture young talents, so the young ones of the three major alien races wouldn’t notice the anomaly at all.

Brother Chun moved two statues, but also set it up so that I would think to target the statues, surely wanting me to take down the statue of the Celestial Eye Race as well!”

Ye Chen talked to himself for a while, then soared up, floating in front of the chest of the Celestial Eye Race statue, discovering a hidden flaw in Brother Chun’s deception, which very likely would allow him to take action.

Taking a deep breath.

He mustered all his strength, just in case.

Next, the Celestial Mark Sword unsheathed, and Ye Chen stabbed forward.

An invisible barrier was pierced by Ye Chen.

Next, the surface of the Celestial Eye Race ancestor statue began to shimmer, strands of energy appeared out of nowhere, pouring into its chest heart position.

It didn’t trigger the statue’s counterattack!

A moment later.

The chest heart position of the statue began to emit strong pounding sounds, like drums.

Ye Chen, fearful of any unexpected events, prepared for full defense, even setting up a sword array.

”Bang bang bang!”

Next.

The chest heart position of the Celestial Eye Race statue suddenly cracked open.

A colorful light beam shot out.

Ye Chen’s figure flashed, immediately chasing the light beam, raising his hand to grasp it in his palm.

It was a thumb-sized object, oval in shape, feeling like soft gel yet with a jade-like smoothness.

Inside, there were strands of liquid flashing with colorful lights flowing.

Ye Chen felt an astonishing energy fluctuation, this energy was exactly identical to the energy he absorbed from the Transformation Pool.

”This object is the source of the Transformation Pool’s energy, it seems the other two statues also have it, but Brother Chun definitely took them away, this last piece is left for me just in time, if I came later, Brother Chun would have taken it all!” Ye Chen muttered, his face showing intense excitement.

Previously, absorbing the energy from the Transformation Pool stimulated his physical potential, as if some force was about to burst forth.

Unfortunately, the energy from the Transformation Pool was insufficient.

Now it’s better, with this thing, refining it will surely manifest that brewing power within my body!

However, it’s not good to stay here any longer.

After all, it’s alien territory, if something unexpected happens, it would be disastrous.

Being cautious, Ye Chen directly tossed the object, the source of the Transformation Pool’s energy, into the Sword Tomb.

Since in Outer Heaven, Luo Qingyi won’t constantly monitor the outside situation, but once Ye Chen put the object into the Sword Tomb, a startled sound immediately rang in his mind.

”What have you done? Where did the Transforming Divine Marrow come from?”

Ye Chen: ”Elder Qingyi, I arrived at Outer Heaven, and I made a hole in the Celestial Eye Race ancestor’s statue.”

Inside the Sword Tomb, Luo Qingyi’s face was in a daze.

Such a lad... quite capable, she hasn’t monitored the outside world for just a day, and he goes and makes a hole in the Celestial Eye Race ancestor’s statue!

”Elder Qingyi, I’ll explain in detail later, I have to make a run for it now!” Ye Chen transmitted a message and immediately prepared to flee.

He glanced at the statues of the ancestors of the three major alien races, thinking whether to take the heads of the three statues with him, but finally shook his head in silence, decided not to be too arrogant.

And the hole in the chest of the ancestor statue of the Celestial Eye Race, at this moment, was also filled up by a force, leaving no trace visible at all.

Including the statues of the ancestors of the Iron Armor Race and the Green Ghost Race, which originally at the chest positions, could show traces under the Martial Arts Celestial Eye, but now, nothing...

It was obvious that the ability to detect earlier issues was a flaw left by Brother Chun on purpose, guiding him.

Now that the work is done, it’s naturally time to clean up the scene.

Then, without looking back, Ye Chen dashed out immediately.

”Elder He!”

He Taiyuan, who had been waiting outside, appeared relaxed but was actually worried. His face lit up with joy as he looked at the emerging Ye Chen.

”Why did it take so long for you to come out?” Elder He breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile.

”These energies are so hard to refine, so it took a bit of time,” Ye Chen said casually.

The Green Ghost Emperor, who was with He Taiyuan outside, shouted angrily, ”Asura, hand over the token to enter the Transformation Pool!”

Ye Chen indifferently tossed the token over.

As if he cared about it at all.

This thing was nothing but garbage now.

The Transformation Pools of the three alien races had been ruined by Brother Chun and himself.

From now on, the Transformation Pool would just be a big basin, where the three alien races could admire their three ancestral stone statues.

”Elder He, let’s go!” Ye Chen urged hurriedly.

He Taiyuan nodded and said, ”Let’s go!”

The two left the alien race’s palace area, and on the way, He Taiyuan asked, ”Asura, did you do something else?”

Ye Chen: ”Why do you say that?”

He Taiyuan smiled and said, ”You’re the same kind of person as Shi Fengchun. If you hadn’t done anything, just now you’d probably have taken another shot at disgusting the Green Ghost Emperor!”

Ye Chen: ”...Elder He, let’s talk about it when we get back.”

Seeing Ye Chen looking a bit tense, He Taiyuan nodded and quickened his pace, taking Ye Chen back swiftly.

Upon reaching the stone house where He Taiyuan resided, He Taiyuan eagerly asked, ”Asura, what big thing did you do exactly?”

His intuition told him it must be something big.

Ye Chen laughed and said, ”Elder He, the alien race’s Transformation Pool is now useless.”

”Hmm?”

He Taiyuan’s expression suddenly became quite colorful.

Ye Chen said, ”Brother Chun did it. He took away two pieces of Transforming Divine Marrow from the pool and left one for me, which I took along as well.”

”Did you meet Shi Fengchun inside the Transformation Pool?”

”No, Brother Chun used other means to leave me clues.”

He Taiyuan suddenly laughed, ”Based on my understanding of that rascal Shi Fengchun, if he dared do this, he must be confident that the three alien races wouldn’t notice. Well, I don’t even know what that Transforming Divine Marrow is, and we don’t need the pool’s energy either — keep it for yourself.

By the way, having come in this time, when do you plan to leave?”

Ye Chen said, ”I have a Companion Leaf from the Luo Qingyi’s Grotto Heaven in Cangzhou True Martial Hall. I’m pondering whether I can use the Luo Qingyi’s Grotto Heaven as a coordinate to teleport directly back to the True Martial Hall.

I’ll try for a day or two. Whether it works or not, I have to go out.”

If it doesn’t work, once he’s out, he’ll be back within the Great Zhou Dynasty’s territory. From the Great Zhou Dynasty to the True Martial Hall... the journey is far, and even traveling at full speed would take over half a month, which is too much of a time-waste!

If it succeeds, then without a doubt, this is great news. No matter where he is in the future, entering the Outer Heaven and returning to the True Martial Hall would just take one day for a round trip!

”You can ask Lin Wen for help. He is a Spirit Master, and Cangzhou True Martial Hall’s means of monitoring the fluctuations of alien race’s Outer Heaven descend relies heavily on him. I reckon Lin Wen also knows your identity.”

Ye Chen: ”...”

Shouldn’t have kicked Brother Wen that time... hopefully, Brother Wen isn’t petty!

”Alright, I can’t help you with these things. You take care of them. I’ll go out and check on the compatriots we just rescued while you ponder your matters here.”

He Taiyuan said a word and then left the stone house.

Ye Chen immediately contacted Luo Qingyi in the Sword Tomb.

”Elder Qingyi!”

Luo Qingyi’s cold voice echoed in Ye Chen’s mind: ”Hmm.”

”Do you have any use for the Transforming Divine Marrow? If it’s useful to you, take it. If it’s not enough, I can go to Brother Chun and get the two pieces he has!”

Luo Qingyi’s tone suddenly became much softer, ”I don’t need it, you use it yourself.”

”Brat, aren’t you going to ask me?” Master Legs’ voice followed.

”Master Legs, if you need it, just take it. It’s no big deal!”

”Forget it, I don’t need it either, you just use it yourself,” Master Legs conveyed.

Ye Chen: ”Elder Qingyi, Master Legs, I’ve absorbed some energy leaking from the Transforming Divine Marrow. I feel like there’s a power in my body trying to emerge. What’s going on?”

This time, Master Legs didn’t transmit it to Ye Chen but looked at Luo Qingyi and asked, ”Should we tell him?”

Luo Qingyi nodded, ”Go ahead.”

Then Master Legs’ voice echoed in Ye Chen’s mind.

”You... have long unconsciously embarked on the path of becoming a saint in body. This situation you described is actually similar to your Martial Arts Celestial Eye, you’re about to give birth to physical Divine Techniques!”
