Supreme Sword God

Chapter 933: Chapter 932: Mutian Divine Seal

“Emperor Mutian, what do you want me to do?” Ye Chen asked.

“Back then, my physical body collapsed, suffering almost irreversible injuries, and now only this divine finger remains. Aren’t you curious why I can’t reconstruct my body?”

Ye Chen was not curious at all.

What’s there to be curious about?

He’s not some country bumpkin who’s never seen the world. Master Legs also can’t reform his physical body.

Though he thought this, Ye Chen seemed shocked and said, “Indeed, Emperor Mutian possesses unparalleled power. Why can’t you reform your body?”

“Your words are insincere,” said the divine finger of Emperor Mutian.

Ye Chen: “…”

“You, from the beginning, have been pretending. You might fool others, but you think you can fool me? In this regard, I’m an expert.”

Ye Chen quickly shifted back to the main topic and said, “Emperor Mutian, I truly don’t understand.”

“Because… even if I reconstruct my body, it would still be eroded by the black tide’s power. No matter where I reconstruct my body, this cannot be avoided. Only this divine finger of mine can withstand the black tide’s power.”

“What exactly is the power of the black tide?” Ye Chen asked the biggest question in his heart.

“The black tide is eternal destruction. You wouldn’t understand even if I told you now, nor do you need to know. What I want you to do is to go deep into the forbidden zone and retrieve my heavenly flame seed from back then!”

“Emperor Mutian, your heavenly flame seed still exists?” Ye Chen was quite surprised. He’d heard from Miss Jiu that Emperor Mutian was the only one on the Celestial Burial Sea known to possess a heavenly flame seed.

“My heavenly flame seed is among the top-tier, the Haoyang Celestial Fire. It possesses extraordinary power, and the black tide and evil spirits in the forbidden zone cannot shake it.

Back then, I sealed something involving a forbidden zone secret within the Haoyang Celestial Fire. To eradicate the dangers of the forbidden zone, we must retrieve what is sealed within the Haoyang Celestial Fire.

At this point, you might be curious why I don’t seek help from other human powerhouses, right?”

Ye Chen: “Emperor Mutian doesn’t trust them.”

“Correct. My failure back then was partly due to underestimating the black tide, but also due to human treachery. Who’s the enemy and who’s the friend is currently indistinguishable.”

“Entering the deepest part of the forbidden zone with my current skill level… it’s basically suicidal, isn’t it?”

“Rest assured, the entire forbidden zone’s powerhouses will soon be busy with another matter. The Enlightenment Tea Tree, which appears once every thousand years, is about to emerge, and every Emperor Realm will rush there.”

Ye Chen: “Emperor Mutian, I still think the risk is too great…”

“I’m teaching you the method to combat the black tide, and you’re still not satisfied?”

Ye Chen: “Emperor Mutian, finding the Haoyang Celestial Fire and not daring to touch what’s sealed inside… But, could you perhaps give me the Haoyang Celestial Fire?”

Going on an adventure without any benefits… really don’t want to do it!

“You have quite the appetite. Do you think you can control the Haoyang Celestial Fire? But since you’ve mentioned it, I’m broad-minded. I’ll give you one chance. If you can control it, the Haoyang Celestial Fire is yours. If not, you can’t blame me!”

Damn kid, thinking too much.

Even if I gave it to you, you couldn’t handle it.

Ye Chen grinned and said, “Let’s happily decide that then, Emperor Mutian. Teach me the method to counter the black tide soon!”

“Hmm, pay close attention. This is the cultivation technique I created and named the Mutian Divine Seal!”

With those words, a mysterious and unpredictable power burst forth from Emperor Mutian’s divine finger, transforming into complex hand signs.

Ye Chen’s attention was highly focused.

Even if this technique wasn’t useful outside, just countering the forbidden zone’s black tide was already top-notch, more valuable than taboo-level secret arts!

……..

“Jiu’Er, what exactly have you been through?”

Xu Yanran asked with concern, bringing Miss Jiu to a lighthouse.

Miss Jiu replied, “Sister Yanran, when you saved me, did you really not see anyone else?”

Xu Yanran shook her head and said, “I only saw you. Be honest with me, who were you with and what were you doing? When I found you, there were extremely terrifying auras lingering nearby. What’s going on?”

Miss Jiu said, “I promised him not to say anything, and he owes me a huge favor.”

“What kind of favor is worth that much to you? Jiu’Er, if you don’t speak truthfully, don’t blame me for sending you home once the black tide recedes!”

“Please no, Sister Yanran, it was so hard for me to get out.”

Xu Yanran snorted and said, “Running away from home is dangerous. Don’t ever do it again.”

“It’s not dangerous at all… It’s thrilling,” Miss Jiu grumbled.

“The Little Demoness from Celestial Child Divine Island also ran away from home and nearly got herself killed!” Xu Yanran said irritably. “I’m asking you again—if you don’t tell me, don’t call me Sister Yanran anymore.”

Miss Jiu said, “Alright… But I said, you mustn’t tell anyone else, Sister Yanran.”

Xu Yanran thought about it and nodded.

Then Miss Jiu recounted the event of the bone altar and the Evil Spirit Emperor Weapon.

Listening to it.

Xu Yanran was shocked!

“Jiu’Er, you were incredibly bold. You’re lucky it turned out well; otherwise, no one could have saved you. I’m almost certain that the guy named Ye Xiu Luo used you, and after obtaining the Evil Spirit Emperor Weapon, he left you to fate!”

Miss Jiu looked tense, shaking her head vigorously, “No, that’s not true. If he were a bad person, he might have just killed me. Why spare my life… Maybe he has his hardships!”

“Describe Ye Xiu Luo to me, draw him out, and I’ll help you settle the score!” Xu Yanran said angrily.

“I won’t!”

Miss Jiu stubbornly shook her head.

Xu Yanran tried tirelessly to persuade her, but Miss Jiu wouldn’t utter another word.

In the end, Xu Yanran had to give up, saying, “Stay put here. The forbidden zone is going to have major upheavals soon. Once the black tide recedes, I’ll have someone escort you out.”

With that, Xu Yanran left.

Feeling a headache.

They found Jiu’Er.

Mu Bai’s student Ye Chen still hasn’t shown himself. The black tide has arrived; hopefully, that kid finds a lighthouse in time.

……

The black tide had fully descended.

Aside from the area with those 120 lighthouses, where there was a faint glow, the rest had plunged into complete darkness.

Within the black tide, even the vision and spiritual power of Emperor Realm powerhouses are heavily suppressed.

Below the Emperor Realm, it’s like being blind.

And at this moment.

In complete darkness, a peculiar energy fluctuation suddenly appeared, parting the darkness like a tide.

Ye Chen’s sigh could be heard.

“Emperor Mutian, your Mutian Divine Seal is indeed complicated. It actually took me half an hour!”

Beside him.

The floating divine finger trembled violently.

Half an hour means it’s hard to learn?

Someone learned the Mutian Divine Seal, comparable to taboo-level secret arts, in just half an hour?

It’s only been a century… Has the enlightenment of the young people in the Celestial Burial Sea become this terrifying?
