Supreme Sword God

Chapter 880: Chapter 879: You’ll Remember After a Few More Chops

The Nine Celestial Burial Coffins in the Celestial Burial Sea are shrouded in endless legends, filled with unfathomable mysteries.

Until now, only eight coffins existed, with no trace of the Ninth Coffin.

Today.

The Ninth Coffin returned to its place, yet it stirred anger within the wills of the previous eight coffins.

“It seems you’ve truly forgotten your duty!” One of the coffins issued a voice surging with rage, saying, “In the Celestial Burial Sea, the Heavenly Burial Land, if you act willfully, it will lead to unforeseen serious consequences.

By then, the grand plan will be destroyed, the power of Heavenly Dao will intervene comprehensively, and everything will end!”

The Ninth Coffin gave a cold snort inside, saying, “Even if you don’t cooperate, I can still fight against Heavenly Dao on my own.”

“If you battle Heavenly Dao alone, the Heaven-Burying Coffin will be destroyed. We absolutely won’t allow you to do this. If you’re determined, you can abandon the Heaven-Burying Coffin. Whatever you do won’t concern us anymore.”

“Exactly, you leave the Heaven-Burying Coffin, fight as you wish, it’s unrelated to us.”

The Ninth Coffin replied with a faint voice, “Since I have returned to my place, I will not leave again.

To be honest, I truly don’t care for this broken coffin.

However, not caring doesn’t mean I’ll directly discard it.

I’ll take it to play a bit with Heavenly Dao, how delightful!

Of course, I don’t wish to make things so rigid between us. Why not both sides take a step back?

I won’t ask you to join me in fighting Heavenly Dao to the death. I’ll put forth my utmost effort, and you merely need to slightly disrupt the operation of Heavenly Dao.

If you help, the benefits will be generous. At that time, I’ll abandon this broken coffin for you.”

The other eight coffins fell into silence.

After a moment.

One of the coffins said, “We can promise you, but you must tell us what exactly you want to do.”

The Ninth Coffin: “That Celestial Dao Cage looks uncomfortable.”

“Celestial Dao Cage?” A voice with doubt rose from one of the coffins, saying, “You’d rather abandon the Heaven-Burying Coffin to destroy that Celestial Dao Cage? I reckon you’re trying to exploit the primitive heavenly arrangement!”

The Ninth Coffin: “No need for guessing here and there, I’ve spoken very clearly. It’s up to you to do it or not.”

Then.

Voices continued to sound from the other eight coffins.

Yet, the Ninth Coffin did not respond a single word.

Inside the Ninth Coffin, boundless space was filled with eternal darkness.

An emaciated figure, slightly stooped, advanced through the darkness.

“Is this truly my place of belonging?”

“I belong to a broken coffin…”

“Ridiculous…”

“If I can’t even handle this broken coffin, that brat would laugh at me for a lifetime if he knew?”

The emaciated figure muttered to himself, moving slowly, gradually merging into the darkness…

……

Island No. 99, at Ye Chen’s residence.

Island Master Fang Cun, with his daughter Fang Yu, and the island’s prodigy Yan Lang, appeared before Ye Chen.

“Junior, the time has almost come.” Fang Cun said.

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed; the assessment at the Celestial Burial Sea Inner Sea was finally about to begin. He then cupped his hands and said, “Thus, I trouble Uncle to lead me to participate in the assessment.”

Fang Cun smiled and said, “It’s what I am supposed to do.”

Saying this, Fang Cun glanced at Fang Yu and Yan Lang.

Yan Lang, with a joyful expression, stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, “Brother Ye, I’m immensely grateful to you for your previous assistance, and additionally, my matter with Junior Sister Fang has been settled.”

Fang Yu also bowed and said, “Senior Brother Ye’s kindness, I, Fang Yu, will remember eternally.”

Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, “You two are a pair made in heaven, congratulations.”

Dealing with Miao Chao from Island No. 10 was merely returning favor, a trivial matter.

After a few pleasantries, Ye Chen directly redirected the conversation to business, looking at Fang Cun, and saying, “Uncle, when shall we depart?”

Fang Cun said, “If you’re ready, you can depart now. If you wish to prepare further, waiting a few more days wouldn’t matter.”

Ye Chen: “Then without further ado, let’s depart now.”

Fang Cun nodded and smiled, “Leaving early is good. The assessment isn’t solely reliant on individual strength; it involves other aspects too. I’ll first take you to meet a few acquaintances to facilitate some matters later.”

……

Several days later.

Under Fang Cun’s guidance, Ye Chen arrived above a massive island.

“This is the Island No. 1, the junction of this region’s Outer Sea and Inner Sea, where the assessment will take place.”

Ye Chen nodded, saying nothing, his gaze sweeping around.

Indeed, an Island No. 1.

Its size was tens to hundreds of times larger than Fang Cun’s Island No. 99.

Just then.

Laughter rang out within Island No. 1.

“Brother Fang, you finally arrived.”

An imposing shirtless man appeared before Ye Chen and Fang Cun.

Fang Cun smiled and said, “I intended to visit knowing you were here, but encountered some matters recently, unable to get away.”

The shirtless man snorted and said, “I’ve heard about the trouble Miao Qunfeng from Island No. 10 caused for you.

Rest assured, our bond is life and death; your problem is mine.

When Miao Qunfeng arrives, I’ll make him apologize to you, or else I’ll let him know what it means to regret!”

Fang Cun didn’t continue the topic, but turned to Ye Chen and said, “Junior Ye, this is Wu Meng from the Inner Sea.”

Ye Chen immediately cupped his hands toward Wu Meng and said, “Greetings, Elder Wu.”

On the journey, Fang Cun had mentioned him.

The token Fang Cun obtained was from Wu Meng.

Though Wu Meng held a certain rank in the Body Cultivators Alliance, it wasn’t too high.

Wu Meng looked surprised, staring at Ye Chen.

Fang Cun continued, “Brother Wu might recall I have a traveling senior brother?”

Wu Meng nodded and said, “Could it be…”

Before he finished speaking, Fang Cun nodded and said, “Ye Chen is the disciple of my senior brother, who specifically asked him to return to seek training in the Inner Sea.”

“I see.” Wu Meng showed an expression of sudden realization, turned to Ye Chen, and said, “Young man, full of energy, you must have cultivated the Flesh Dao?”

Ye Chen replied, “I have dabbled in the Flesh Dao.”

Seeing Ye Chen’s exceptional composure and self-confidence, Wu Meng’s eyes showed approval, “Take the token I prepared for Brother Fang, choose the Body Cultivators Alliance assessment directly, and enter the Inner Sea first.

Whether you follow the path of Body Cultivator later doesn’t matter; the Alliance never restricts it. There are also Martial Artists and Spirit Masters within the alliance.”

Fang Cun also turned to Ye Chen and said, “Junior, as mentioned on the way, your choice is ultimately your own. Do as your heart wishes.”

Ye Chen cupped his hands toward the two, preparing to speak.

At that moment.

The sound of something whistling through the air arose.

Several figures shot over.

One young man stared at Ye Chen, eyes seeming to blaze with fire, distorting his features as he clenched his fists, bones cracking.

It was Miao Chao of Island No. 10.

“Ye Chen!” Miao Chao snarled, “Originally, I didn’t intend to settle the score with you right away, but meeting you now, it seems fate destines our grievance to be resolved today!”

Ye Chen’s gaze swept past the figures beside Miao Chao.

The Island Master of Island No. 10, Miao Qunfeng, met before.

And two elderly, two young ones, unknown.

Wu Meng gestured to Fang Cun, signaling him to hold back for now.

Seeing Ye Chen not responding, Miao Chao continued to shout angrily, “Ye Chen, if you’re a man, fight me now!”

Ye Chen grinned and said, “We have a grievance?”

Miao Chao: “Don’t deny it; you stole my Holy Sword last time!”

Ye Chen: “I recall, I did chop down a piece of trash before; it turns out it was you.”

Miao Chao: “…”

Ye Chen replied, “No problem, chopping you a few more times and I’ll remember you.”
