Supreme Sword God

Chapter 388: Chapter 387: That Annoying Old Geezer

A moment later, Ye Chen arrived at the Bright Hall and met Su Yun.

”Hall Master Su, Qingqing said you wanted to see me.”

Su Yun nodded and said, ”Do you really want to learn the Seven-Star Sword Array?”

Ye Chen nodded, ”The Seven-Star Sword Array indeed has its unique aspects. If I can master it, it wouldn’t be a bad secret technique to have at my disposal.”

”I don’t recommend you learn it,” Su Yun said. ”Training in the Seven-Star Sword Array consumes too much time, which results in the members of the Seven Stars Hall having a generally low cultivation realm.

The Xiao Mo you encountered has decent aptitude and was once on par with the Qi Cultivator, but now, Qi Cultivator has almost reached the edge of the Qingyun Ranking, while Xiao Mo is still at the Peak of Transcendent Realm.

I don’t deny that once the Seven-Star Sword Array is formed, it is indeed powerful, but it has too many limitations; it requires seven people to form the array.

As for the Hall Master of the Seven Stars Hall, Xiao Lang, don’t believe him if he tells you one person can form the array. Not only people in the Seven Stars Hall have tried, but many experts from Cangzhou True Martial Hall have also explored it, and they all failed!”

Ye Chen blinked.

How did it become Xiao Lang deceiving me?

This was clearly my own idea...

But Ye Chen quickly understood. Mu Qingqing just said Xiao Lang from the Seven Stars Hall came to see him and was driven away by Su Yun. Perhaps Xiao Lang said something like this, which made Su Yun feel that he was deceived by Xiao Lang.

”Well, Hall Master Su, let me try the one-person array. If I don’t see results in a month, I’ll give up.”

Su Yun frowned and stared at Ye Chen, saying, ”Ye Chen, I’m doing this for your own good.”

Ye Chen remained calm and smiled faintly, ”I understand Hall Master Su’s intentions, but I really want to try. The path of cultivation is all about progressing through constant exploration. If everyone follows the rules and is unwilling to try, the world wouldn’t have such magnificent excitement today.

Moreover, a month doesn’t affect much. If it really doesn’t work, it won’t have any major impact.”

After hearing this, Su Yun’s frown slowly relaxed, revealing a smile, ”Very well, you have your own ideas, and of course, I will support you.”

The reason she wanted to stop Ye Chen was mainly because she thought Ye Chen was deceived... Since this was Ye Chen’s own decision, then it’s fine.

”Hall Master Su, you didn’t just call me here for this matter, did you?” Ye Chen asked.

Su Yun nodded, ”There are two more things.”

”Please tell me, Hall Master Su.”

”The mission you participated in a few days ago has been re-evaluated, and with your original completion of four one-star missions, congratulations on being promoted to a Three-star True Martial Guard!”

Ye Chen: ”...”

So soon?

I’ve only been in the Cangzhou True Martial Hall for half a month, and I’ve already become a Three-star True Martial Guard!

Su Yun continued, ”A One-star True Martial Guard upgrading to Two-star receives five days of training time in Grotto Heaven; Two-star upgrading to Three-star gets ten days; with this mission reward, you can stay in the Grotto Heaven for a full month now!”

The last time in Grotto Heaven, I stayed for ten days and gained a lot. If I stay for a month this time, thinking about it, Ye Chen was overjoyed, but the joy soon faded, ”Hall Master Su, the Grotto Heaven is not open for use recently...”

”It’s not open for others, but you can enter.”

Su Yun showed a trace of pride on her face, ”Over the years, Bright Hall has accumulated merits but rarely used the resources of the Martial Hall, so many things can be handled more conveniently!”

”Thank you, Hall Master Su!” Ye Chen said gratefully.

Evidently, Su Yun traded the accumulated merits of Bright Hall over the years to make an exception!

Ye Chen asked again, ”Hall Master Su, what is the other matter?”

Su Yun said, ”Recently, something big happened in several places, and the Martial Hall needs to dispatch a large number of experts. I’m also on the list and will be setting off in two days.”

Ye Chen finally understood completely.

Logically, since the Grotto Heaven is temporarily closed, the training time I accumulated could be used later. There’s no need for Bright Hall to spend many years’ worth of accumulated merits to make an exception for me.

It turns out Su Yun is going out for a large-scale action and is worried about me wandering around and causing trouble, so she simply places me in Grotto Heaven!

Keeping Su Yun’s well-intentioned thoughts in his heart, Ye Chen remembered this kindness.

......

Leaving the Bright Hall, Ye Chen headed straight for the Seven Stars Hall.

The Hall Master of the Seven Stars Hall, Xiao Lang, was also going to participate in the large-scale action. He must handle the Seven-Star Sword Array issue before they depart!

When the Hall Master of the Seven Stars Hall, Xiao Lang, saw Ye Chen come looking for him, he was overjoyed. Being a straightforward person himself, without any pretense, he said directly, ”Ye Chen, Xiao Mo has told me about you, and I believe you have a great chance of mastering the Seven-Star Sword Array alone!

However, you currently lack a foundation in the Seven-Star Sword Array, so you need to solidify your basics. Unfortunately, I’m going out in two days and cannot guide you personally.

So, I’ll first teach you the seven main variations of the Seven-Star Swordsmanship for you to practice. If you encounter anything unclear, go directly to the Seven Stars Hall for help.

When I return from this mission, we’ll discuss the method of forming the array by oneself!”

”Alright, thank you, Hall Master Xiao!” Ye Chen said.

Xiao Lang laughed heartily, ”No need to thank me. The Seven-Star Sword Array is a legacy passed down by generations of True Martial Guards. If you can manage the formation alone, it would fulfill the aspirations of countless individuals.”

He then demonstrated several times the major variations of the Seven-Star Swordsmanship before Ye Chen, and took some time to write down his insights and handed them to Ye Chen.

After thanking him once more, Ye Chen immediately returned to his residence to ponder the seven main variations of the Seven-Star Swordsmanship.

......

That day.

In the square of the True Martial Hall, many experts gathered, their powerful auras soaring into the sky.

There are several Seven-star True Martial Guards of the Dharma Realm and mostly Six-star True Martial Guards of the Heaven-Reaching Realm.

There are also a few Five-star True Martial Guards, but they also have cultivation at the Peak of Unity Realm.

The Hall Master of Cangzhou True Martial Hall, that short old man with a ruddy nose, faced the crowd and said, ”Over at the Soul-breaking Gorge, three major alien races have descended simultaneously with great momentum.

Meanwhile, in multiple places across Cangzhou, the Demon Race has been causing chaos.

This is definitely not a coincidence; it must be premeditated.

Celestial Cyan City and major forces in Cangzhou now need to suppress the Demon Race and prepare for some potential unknown changes.

So, the three major alien races in Soul-breaking Gorge will be dealt with by our True Martial Hall.

All Six-star and Seven-star True Martial Guards on external missions are rushing to Soul-breaking Gorge.

As you depart, make sure to intercept the three major alien races in Soul-breaking Gorge and do not let a single one escape!”

The crowd responded in unison, affirming their orders!

”Set off!”

The next moment, streams of powerful energy tore open space, and the gathered experts in the square vanished instantly.

The short old man with a ruddy nose watched the closing spatial rifts and sighed deeply.

After all the spatial rifts closed, his figure flickered and disappeared.

At this time, Ye Chen was in his courtyard, looking in the direction the True Martial Hall experts had left, his expression filled with infinite emotion.

What exactly happened this time he asked Su Yun, but she didn’t say.

Judging by the commotion, it’s clear it must be a particularly tricky situation.

Regarding entering the Grotto Heaven, Su Yun said someone would arrange it.

As Ye Chen withdrew his gaze from the distance, he suddenly got a shock; since when was there an old man in front of him?

Short stature, ruddy nose, and he was smiling at him!

Looking like someone who needs a beating!
