Supreme Sword God

Chapter 386: Chapter 385: Innate Deficiency, Primordial Fire Seed

Ye Chen rushed to the side and found the Little Phoenix lying in the bushes, listless, its once bright and shiny feathers now dull.

”What’s going on?”

Ye Chen held the Little Phoenix in his palm and asked.

Just having completed a breakthrough, it was vigorous in battle moments ago, but now it’s like this, causing Ye Chen’s heart to tighten.

They have developed feelings after spending time together during this period.

”I’m so tired...”

The Little Phoenix spoke human words, its voice tinged with weakness.

Ye Chen furrowed his brows, looking toward Ren Ying and Xiao Mo, and said, ”You go handle the other Celestial Eye clan members first, I have something to take care of.”

”Alright, be careful.” Xiao Mo said.

Ren Ying looked at Ye Chen and said, ”Handle it first, but don’t worry too much if it doesn’t work out. Our Cangzhou True Martial Hall has experts skilled in nurturing beasts.”

After the group left, Ye Chen quickly took the Little Phoenix to an isolated spot, planning to enter the Sword Tomb.

”Ye Chen, I need to tell you something.” The Little Phoenix suddenly said.

”Hmm?”

”If I die... you mustn’t give me to Master Legs... he’ll roast me with fire...”

”You won’t die!” Ye Chen grabbed the Little Phoenix, and with a thought, entered the Sword Tomb.

”Elder Qingyi, Master Legs, quickly help me check what’s wrong with Zizi!”

Upon entering the Sword Tomb, Ye Chen anxiously shouted.

Luo Qingyi and Master Legs immediately rushed over.

After a moment, Luo Qingyi looked at Master Legs and said, ”You have broader knowledge, you speak.”

Master Legs pondered for a moment, then said, ”Have you ever heard the saying ’The phoenix chooses the tree to nest?’”

Ye Chen nodded and said, ”Master Legs, don’t keep us in suspense, quickly tell me how to solve it.”

”The Phoenix Race, they choose the tree to nest, the chosen tree is the divine tung wood, which contains powerful flame energy. The phoenix nestles on the divine tung wood, benefiting greatly.

And this Little Phoenix, born in such impoverished land as Luoyao Mountain Range in the Great Zhou Dynasty, was innately deficient even in the phoenix egg, even receiving a bundle of phoenix essence later on was just a drop in the ocean.

As the Little Phoenix’s strength continues to grow, the innate deficiency becomes more apparent, this is probably why the Little Phoenix loves absorbing ancient origin so much!”

Ye Chen’s eyes lit up and said, ”So, if I get more ancient origin, the Little Phoenix will be fine, right?”

Master Legs said, ”No, the Little Phoenix now needs something containing Innate Flame Energy, Innate Flame Energy can efficiently alleviate innate deficiencies.”

”What exactly is something containing Innate Flame Energy?” Ye Chen asked, determined to find the right solution!

”In this world, many things contain flame energy, but the vast majority are nurtured by acquired flame energy, Innate Flame Energy is rare, but there are many varieties, with Heaven and Earth Fire Seed being the most effective!

Based on the phoenix bloodline, common substances containing Innate Flame Energy would only be like drinking poison to quench thirst, there’s a high chance only Heaven and Earth Fire Seed can cure the Little Phoenix’s problem.”

Master Legs spoke a great deal, and Ye Chen understood.

To solve the Little Phoenix’s problem from the root, he needs to find Heaven and Earth Fire Seed.

If he can’t find Heaven and Earth Fire Seed, then he should initially look for ordinary things containing Innate Flame Energy!

Seeing the Little Phoenix in this state, it can’t help him in battle anymore.

This means that a major assistance wouldn’t work for a while...

However, Ye Chen wasn’t the least bit discouraged; he can still fight and strike on his own!

Even though the Unique Spirit Seal has yet to be forged.

But this time when he returns to the True Martial Hall, he’ll immediately get the Seven-Star Sword Array, according to the plan, if he can perform the Seven-Star Sword Array alone, it will undoubtedly be an extremely powerful trump card!

”Zizi, rest in the Sword Tomb, don’t worry, I won’t let you die. If you need Heaven and Earth Fire Seed, I’ll find you as much as you need!”

Ye Chen handed the Little Phoenix over to Luo Qingyi, entrusting Luo Qingyi to care for his small bird.

Then he turned to Master Legs and said, ”Master Legs, don’t scare Zizi anymore, Zizi just told me her last words, fearing you’d roast her!”

Having made arrangements, Ye Chen immediately exited the Sword Tomb and went to join Ren Ying and Xiao Mo.

Soon after, he found Ren Ying and the others.

Everyone here is a three-star True Martial Guard, nearly all injured, and each face reflects a painful expression.

This operation, a lot of companions died!

When Ye Chen arrived, the shock dispelled some of the pain in their expressions.

They all heard from Xiao Mo the whole story, that Ye Chen alone destroyed the Celestial Eye clan’s Holy Eye.

If it weren’t for Ye Chen deciphering the illusion realm, they would all have been trapped here this time.

”I never expected that the person who saved us would be a One-star True Martial Guard... Ye Chen, I will remember this favor!”

”Ye Chen from the Bright Hall, well done, daring to fight and kill, worthy of being someone recommended by Tian Bugui!”

”Earlier, I thought you were a bit too brash, but now I see, being brash is good. If it weren’t for you being brash, we would have been finished.”

Ren Ying’s eyes flickered slightly, and she said, ”Everyone, my brother Ye Chen is of pure character and sincere nature. He has just arrived at the True Martial Hall, and there are many things he needs everyone’s care with in the future.”

Everyone had been given a new lease on life by Ye Chen, so it was easy to speak nicely of him. They all began referring to him as Brother Ye, and quickly became acquainted.

Ye Chen knew that Ren Ying was helping him build connections. The people present weren’t very old and clearly possessed some skills!

”Alright, this operation is over, and we should return now.”

Ren Ying could see that Ye Chen was a bit anxious, likely worried about that little bird that could breathe fire. She quickly suggested that everyone start heading back to the True Martial Hall.

A day later.

On the way, they encountered a group of strong individuals from the True Martial Hall. Su Yun of the Bright Hall and Hall Master Xiao of the Seven Stars Hall had both arrived.

It was clear that Lu Feiyu had returned to the True Martial Hall to request aid as fast as possible, and they had come to rescue them.

After these strong members of the True Martial Hall understood the situation, each one was full of praise for Ye Chen!

Su Yun wore a face of deep pride.

Did you see?

This is someone from our Bright Hall!

After basking in her pride, Su Yun said, ”Everyone, take your time on the road, I’ll take Ye Chen and head out first!”

With those words, Su Yun immediately clasped the golden Top-Grade Daoist Artifact Long Whip in her hand, cracked the spatial rift, and then took Ye Chen through space back to the True Martial Hall.

In the void.

Su Yun said, ”It would be nice to interact with them on the road, why are you in such a hurry?”

Ye Chen replied, ”Hall Master Su, Zizi is injured.”

Some things are not suitable to say directly, requiring a change of wording.

”Hmm?” Su Yun frowned, ”What happened to your little bird?”

The little bird was quite important to Ye Chen, this much Su Yun knew, which explained why Ye Chen had secretly urged her to take him quickly back to the True Martial Hall earlier.

”Zizi overused its fire-breathing and suffered backlash. Hall Master Su, do we have any objects containing innate flame energy at the True Martial Hall?”

Su Yun thought for a moment and said, ”I’m not too sure, but I’ll help you look when we get back.

By the way, how did you manage to decipher the illusion realm? It’s created by a Holy Realm Eye of the Celestial Eye Race!”

”Hall Master Su, have you heard of the Martial Arts True Eye divine technique?” Ye Chen asked.

Su Yun’s eyes widened, ”You can’t be telling me you have this divine technique?”

Ye Chen nodded, ”Yes.”

Su Yun was instantly overjoyed!

Enrolling Ye Chen into the Bright Hall was undoubtedly the wisest decision!

There was nothing more to say about his character, his bravery was exceptional, his talent in Sword Dao was outstanding, and now he also had the Martial Arts True Eye divine technique. She almost wanted to scoop this precious kid up and give him a hug and a kiss, but she restrained herself for fear of scaring him.

”Throughout history, those who could develop divine techniques bore great fortune and destiny. Remember, don’t casually tell others about this; treat it as your trump card. If anyone asks how you broke the illusion realm, just say the Bright Hall gave you some treasured artifact!”

”Alright, I’ll leave everything to Hall Master Su’s guidance.” Ye Chen replied.

The more Su Yun looked at Ye Chen, the more she liked him.

Such an obedient child!

Meanwhile.

Hall Master Xiao of the Seven Stars Hall was left dumbfounded after learning from his brother Xiao Mo that Ye Chen had joined the Seven-Star Sword Array and played a key role.

”Is this kid a monster?” Hall Master Xiao murmured then said, ”I’ll head back first!”

With those parting words, Hall Master Xiao also tore through the space and traveled through the void!

Ye Chen had proposed the idea of a single person deploying the Seven-Star Sword Array. Many in the Seven Stars Hall had tried, but none succeeded—but Ye Chen was different...

He hadn’t the faintest idea about the Seven-Star Sword Array, yet after just watching it once or twice, he could integrate into the array, adapt to its changes during battle and significantly enhance it. This is no ordinary genius.

It might really be possible for Ye Chen to accomplish the feat of a single person forming the Seven-Star Sword Array!

He was eager to find Ye Chen and discuss this in depth!
