Supreme Sword God

Chapter 581: Chapter 580: Taboo of the Era, Embarking on the Journey Home

Having reached an agreement with Grandmaster Mu Yi regarding the Heavenly Gate, a weight seemed to lift from Ye Chen’s mind.

He had initially thought it would take a lot of persuasion, but everything went smoothly.

Last time, that Mad Old Man had fought with the Heavenly Dao, which prompted Mu Yi to rekindle the pursuits of his Mu Family ancestors.

Ye Chen felt he was doing quite well as a mentor of dreams.

After parting with Mu Yi, Ye Chen left the depths of the forest and then found a secluded spot to enter the Sword Tomb.

”Elder Qingyi, I have arrived!” Ye Chen called out.

Luo Qingyi flew over, with the Little Phoenix perched on her shoulder.

Master Legs came running over on his two legs.

Luo Qingyi stared at Ye Chen, her eyes glimmering brightly, and said, ”Your sword physique has reached Great Perfection; what on earth happened?!”

Some time ago, Luo Qingyi went to the tenth level of the Sword Tomb and didn’t have time to keep track of things outside.

Even Master Legs was completely unaware of the situation in the outside world.

In fact, even if Luo Qingyi hadn’t gone to the tenth level of the Sword Tomb, she wouldn’t have been able to sense the outside, as a huge pool of water from Yellow Springs had isolated even Ye Chen’s connection to the Sword Tomb.

Ye Chen didn’t hide anything and recounted his experiences at the Yellow Springs Sect ruins, except he glossed over the incident with the female corpse.

”Yellow Springs Sect... Three Lives Stone!” Luo Qingyi murmured.

Master Legs said, ”I’ve heard of the Three Lives Stone. It’s said to have the power to guide people through reincarnation. I suspect that female corpse in Yellow Springs Sect might want to be resurrected!”

”Is that even possible?” Ye Chen was shocked.

Master Legs said, ”In this vast world, there’s nothing too strange.”

Luo Qingyi took a deep breath and said, ”Ye Chen, listen carefully. The Dragon Race predecessors in the tenth level of the Sword Tomb say that Taiyan Immortal Sect, Yellow Springs Sect, and Immortal Light Sacred Land are forbidden names.

It’s said that these forces don’t exist in this era but come from the past era.

In the past, some Supreme Powerhouses of this era had discovered relics and triggered a widespread explosion of the Heavenly Dao, causing countless deaths and injuries.

Therefore, matters related to the past era, bringing misfortune and disaster, have been called taboos.

Avoid getting too involved in taboo matters!”

Ye Chen: ”...But... I’ve already entangled myself in causes and effects that I can’t shake off...”

Luo Qingyi fell silent.

If she had known these things from the start, she would never have let Ye Chen accept the Taiyin Fire Control Technique lineage. Now, indeed, Ye Chen was mired in the taboo quagmire.

”The causes and effects that already exist must be resolved. In the future, try to avoid matters related to them as much as possible... especially that Mad Old Man, who is from the Taiyan Immortal Sect. It’s better not to interact with him again.”

Ye Chen: ”...Elder Qingyi, the Mad Old Man’s body is with me.”

Saying this, Ye Chen took out the Mad Old Man’s body from his Storage Ring.

Luo Qingyi was dumbstruck.

Master Legs’ leg hair stood on end!

Ye Chen said, ”Actually, I think the Mad Old Man might not be from the Taiyan Immortal Sect. Perhaps he just has some connection to it. After all, he has a clone at the Yellow Springs Sect ruins, and you also mentioned that his eyes are the Reincarnation Eye, which I believe might be a legacy of the Yellow Springs Sect.

He previously mentioned that I was the Saint Heir of Immortal Light Sacred Land. I suspect he also has a clone there.”

The more Ye Chen spoke, the more stunned Luo Qingyi and Master Legs became.

Ye Chen continued, ”Elder Qingyi, the Mad Old Man said the Sword Tomb is also related to the cycles of heaven and earth. Have you asked the Dragon Race predecessor inside the Sword Tomb?”

Although the Sword Tomb was left by Luo Qingyi’s own father, Luo Jiutian, some secrets were completely unknown to her.

Luo Qingyi pondered for a moment and said, ”The taboo related to the past era is not about the Sword Tomb but my father. My father had very unusual connections with some people from the past era, but the Dragon Race predecessor isn’t clear about the specifics.”

Master Legs said, ”So, the cause and effect between Ye Chen and the past era can’t actually be severed.

He is the heir of your father, Luo Jiutian, has inherited the Taiyan Immortal Sect lineage, and has become entangled with the female corpse of Yellow Springs Sect...

Let’s not forget, the Mad Old Man also mentioned that Ye Chen’s original ancient bloodline is equally related to the cycles of heaven and earth!”

Ye Chen remained calm and said softly, ”Elder Qingyi, actually, there’s no need to worry. What’s destined to come can’t be avoided.

The fact that the Mad Old Man survived, and also others from the past era, shows that these causes and effects are not necessarily a path to certain death.

If they could survive, so can I!

Honestly, I’ve taken an interest in this matter. It’s only because I am relatively weak right now. If I were a bit stronger, even if these causes didn’t come to me, I would seek them out myself.

This kind of life is exciting enough, filled with the unknown, waiting for me to unravel its mysteries, full of challenges, waiting for me to overcome them one by one!”

Luo Qingyi looked at Ye Chen as if he were an idiot and said, ”The Mad Old Man is an exception. Do you know how many Supreme Powerhouses died for one to survive?”

Ye Chen said, ”How many people does it take for someone like me to emerge?

You say I have good talent, which might be due to my original ancient bloodline.

But with so many things seeking me out, is it really just coincidence?

Perhaps, in some mysterious way, it’s already predetermined.

Even if I don’t stir things up, these chaotic matters would still come to me.

I’ll face them head-on; that’s my Sword Dao!”

Luo Qingyi looked unkindly at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen’s tone was quite aggressive!

Was this a reprimand?

Master Legs chuckled.

”Swish!”

Luo Qingyi sent a Sword Qi slicing Master Legs’ legs, shooting them far away.

”Elder Qingyi...” Ye Chen felt intimidated.

”What, you feel sorry for that fool Tian Can?” Luo Qingyi said coldly.

”Good strike, always mocking; serves him right!” Ye Chen could only disregard his friendship with Master Legs; it was better for Master Legs to get hit than himself.

Then, Ye Chen quickly changed the subject, ”Elder Qingyi, I must hasten back to the Great Zhou Dynasty. I’ll find time to come back and enter the fifth level of the Sword Tomb later.”

With those words, Ye Chen activated his will and left the Sword Tomb immediately.

At the same time, the Little Phoenix was also brought out by his power.

”Big brother, you were so cowardly just now,” the Little Phoenix said.

Ye Chen glared at the Little Phoenix and angrily said, ”Get big quickly!”

The Little Phoenix unwillingly transformed, then carried Ye Chen, flying at high speed toward the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom.

Almost a year had passed since he left.

Are they... still well?

”Girl, I’ve returned. You definitely can’t defeat me now!

Teachers, Master, Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, you used to protect me. Now, I can face those troubles head-on myself!

Fatty, Luo Tian, you two must obediently call me big brother in the future!

Elder Bai Mei, Dean Ouyang... the Great Zhou Dynasty...

I, Ye Chen, have returned!”

Standing on the Little Phoenix’s back, Ye Chen felt the rushing wind stir his emotions.

He recalled the helplessness he felt when he had to leave that day.

Now, upon his return to the Great Zhou Dynasty, he vowed to eliminate all enemies and clear all obstacles!
