Supreme Sword God

Chapter 721 720: Relentless Journeys, Another Tempest Arises

Ye Chen returned to Bright Hall.

First, he greeted Su Yun.

According to Su Yun, Old Tian had gone out long ago and hadnʼt returned since.

Ye Chen roughly knew where Tian Bugui went, it was nothing more than to find the Great Guardian of the Celestial Demon Sect.

Thatʼs fine, let him probe whether that Great Guardian is reliable or not.

Returning to his residence.

Mu Qingqing charged toward Ye Chen with excitement on her face: ”Brother Chen, youʼre finally back, I havenʼt seen you for so long.”

The voice carried a hint of grievance.

He hadnʼt been seen for nearly half a year. After coming out of the Celestial Extinction Ancient Tomb, Ye Chen went to the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom.

When he returned from the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom, Mu Qingqing was taken away by her grandfather, Mu Zhengxiong.

When Mu Qingqing received the news and rushed back to True Martial Hall, Ye Chen had gone to East Desolate City, and once again, two months had passed.

In Ye Chenʼs eyes, a gentle light appeared, he rubbed Mu Qingqingʼs head and smiled: ”Little girl, your face isnʼt as round as before.”

Mu Qingqing chuckled, puffed up her sizable chest, and said: ”Brother Chen, Iʼve grown up!”

Ye Chen glanced sideways: ”…Hmm!”

Not seen in half a year, the little girl from before had indeed grown up quite a bit.

Mu Qingqing: ”Brother Chen, am I good-looking?”

”Good-looking!” Ye Chen had black lines across his forehead.

”What looks good?” Mu Qingqing proudly pursued.

Ye Chen flicked Mu Qingqingʼs forehead with his finger and said: ”Since youʼre a grown-up now, be mindful of your words in the future, donʼt be like before.”

Mu Qingqing responded with an ”oh” and said: ”Brother Chen, whereʼs your little bird? I havenʼt touched your little bird for a long time.”

Ye Chen: ”…”

Had just told her to watch her words, and itʼs still the same.

Looking at Mu Qingqingʼs sly smile, Ye Chen had reason to suspect the little girl did it deliberately.

”Go play with Zizi.”

Saying this, Ye Chen released Little Phoenix from the Sword Tomb.

The once proud Little Phoenix didnʼt pay much attention to Mu Qingqing, but inside the Celestial Extinction Ancient Tomb, Mu Qingqing and Little Phoenix shared life and death, their relationship was quite good.

The person and the bird had plenty to talk about!

Soon after, Ye Chen hastily went to Celestial Cyan City!

Mu Mansion.

Originally, Grandmaster Mu Yi, with disheveled hair, sunken eyes, looked extremely haggard.

When Ye Chen handed over the information from the main hall about Heavenly Gate to Mu Yi, an incredibly bright light erupted from Mu Yiʼs eyes, and without even a greeting to Ye Chen, he turned and was about to continue researching the grand matter concerning Heavenly Gate.

Ye Chenʼs figure flickered, and he instantly caught up to Mu Yi, striking a palm at the back of Mu Yiʼs neck.

Mu Yiʼs body tilted and he fainted.

Ye Chen caught him and looked toward Mu Baoming.

Mu Baoming was dumbfounded!

His father, who still possessed Dharma Realm cultivation, was actually knocked out by Ye Chen with a single palm…

Ye Chen was also helpless.

Even though Grandmaster Mu Yi wasnʼt adept at combat, he was still in the Dharma Realm. To have worn himself out to this point due to the research on Heavenly Gate, if he did not rest soon, he might end up finishing himself before completing Heavenly Gate.

”Quickly help Grandmaster Mu to rest and prepare some items to nourish the mind for him,” Ye Chen said.

Mu Baoming immediately stepped forward, receiving his father Mu Yi from Ye Chenʼs hands and escorting him to rest.

Ye Chen took a look at the place where Mu Yi refined artifacts.

The Void Stones were piled everywhere.

Failed prototypes of Heavenly Gate made from Void Stone could also be seen everywhere.

At this time, Mu Baoming returned after sending Mu Yi to rest and said: ”Young Master Ye, the research data you asked me to organize for my father earlier are all here.”

Saying this, he handed Ye Chen a booklet.

Ye Chen accepted the booklet but didnʼt look at it, as he couldnʼt understand it anyway.

The main hallʼs information was still duplicated. When the time comes, theyʼll send it to Tianwai Tian for Lin Wen to hurry up and research.

Two-pronged approach for maximum efficiency!

”How much Void Stone is left?” Ye Chen asked.

”Half of it has been used up,” Mu Baoming truthfully said.

Ye Chen twitched his mouth.

He thought giving Grandmaster Mu Yi six Storage Rings full of Void Stones would be enough for a long while, but half was already gone.

It seems heʼll need to find a way to get more Void Stones.

Otherwise, even if Mu Yi completes Heavenly Gate, there wonʼt be any Void Stones left to build it.

Leaving Mu Mansion, Ye Chen went to Celestial Soldier Pavilion and found Lin Yan.

”Younger Brother Ye, youʼre finally back.” Lin Yanʼs face was radiant.

”Brother Lin, with such high spirits, is there good news?” Ye Chen asked.

”Come, Iʼll take you to see it!”

Lin Yan immediately took Ye Chen to enter the sword pool of Celestial Soldier Pavilion.

In the sword pool, the Holy Sword embryo was emitting sharp brilliance, nurturing the ten thousand swords of the pool, and the continuous clanging sound echoed like ocean waves.

”The Holy Sword is almost complete!” Ye Chen said. ”Congratulations to Brother Lin; once this sword joins the ranks of Holy Weapons, Brother Lin can grasp the key to forging Holy Weapons.

This is a momentous occasion. In that case, let me give Brother Lin a little celebration.”

With those words, Ye Chen handed over the complete legacy of the Chaotic Cloak Celestial Spirit Hammer to Lin Yan.

Originally, this legacy was intended for trade with Celestial Soldier Pavilion.

But now…thereʼs no need.

Making use of everything!

The complete Chaotic Cloak Celestial Spirit Hammer would dramatically enhance Lin Yanʼs artifact crafting skills.

With the relationship between himself and Brother Lin Yan, a rise in Lin Yanʼs artifact crafting level would surely benefit Ye Chen first!

Lin Yan paused, utterly stunned.

To an Artifact Refiner, the Chaotic Cloak Celestial Spirit Hammer is the supreme legacy!

His hands trembled as he held the secret manual.

”Younger Brother Ye, without your permission, I will never pass on this hammer technique!” Lin Yan said solemnly.

Ye Chen grinned and said: ”Brother Lin, if you trust me, thereʼs no need to say it; pass it on if you must.”

Lin Yan carefully stored the secret manual, took several deep breaths, and then said: ”Younger Brother Ye, you went to East Desolate City with Shi Fengchun this time, there must have been many incidents.”

Ye Chen briefly recounted some events.

Lin Yan once again froze before he regained his senses, saying: ”Is Shi Fengchun planning to do a major campaign in Cangzhou next?”

Ye Chen nodded: ”Purging the inside, then taking action against the three major alien races!”

Lin Yanʼs gaze tensed: ”Celestial Soldier Pavilion…will fully cooperate.”

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said: ”Brother Lin Yan, if you have time, you might visit Mu Mansion. Grandmaster Mu Yi, handling the Heavenly Gate matter alone, is lagging behind in progress.”

”Alright!” Lin Yan readily agreed.

That evening, Ye Chen used the Spatial Brand to visit Tianwai Tian. He explained the situation in East Desolate City to He Taiyuan.

Then he handed over the research notes from Grandmaster Mu Yi and the Heavenly Gate information from the main hall to Lin Wen.

To Ye Chenʼs surprise, Lin Wen had made some breakthrough research progress too. Ye Chen then brought these materials back to Cangzhou and handed them to Grandmaster Mu Yi.

Running back and forth was truly exhausting!

But it was all worth it.

Once Heavenly Gate is completed, it will hold unimaginably significant importance.

Having dealt with the matters on hand, Ye Chen returned to his residence and did nothing but go directly to rest.

The strained chord in his heart needed relaxation.

Rest well. Then resume the journey!

......

Meanwhile, during Ye Chenʼs bustling travels.

The True Martial Hall of Cangzhou had swiftly operated under Shi Fengchunʼs leadership.

Batch after batch of True Martial Guards were dispatched to various places to purge internal threats!

After a nightʼs rest.

Ye Chen arose, refreshed and revitalized.

He stepped outside the door, and the gentle golden sunlight spilled over him.

Ye Chenʼs lips curved in a serene arc.

A brand new Cangzhou is about to arrive!
