Chapter 934: Chapter 933: Emperor Realm Evil Spirit Appears

“Kid, let me ask you something.” The Divine Finger of Emperor Mutian spoke with a hint of hesitation.

“Go ahead, we’re like family, so if I know it, I’ll definitely tell you.” Ye Chen replied casually.

Emperor Mutian: “…”

This kid sure knows how to get close.

Since when did we become like family?

I am Emperor Mutian, and you’re just a brat I’ve only just met, what kind of relationship do we have?

“Are there many young people like you in the Celestial Burial Sea now?”

Ye Chen thought for a moment, then said, “Like me? Just me. Everyone is unique. By the way, people often call me a good-for-nothing.”

Emperor Mutian was shocked!

Someone who learned the Mutian Divine Seal in just half an hour is considered a good-for-nothing in the current Celestial Burial Sea?

Ye Chen didn’t bother to explain.

If he had to continue, the rest of the sentence would be that those who call him a good-for-nothing either get beaten up badly or die miserably.

“What exactly happened in the Celestial Burial Sea?” Emperor Mutian asked.

Stuck in the forbidden zone for a hundred years, and this kind of talent is deemed worthless? It’s clear the Celestial Burial Sea has undergone some earth-shattering changes.

Ye Chen replied, “I’m not sure. I haven’t been in the Celestial Burial Sea for long.”

“Where were you before?”

“Cangxing Martial Arts Academy,” Ye Chen said casually, “You’ve probably never heard of it.”

Emperor Mutian felt a bit looked down upon.

Ye Chen: “Let’s talk about something else. Emperor Mutian, can your Divine Seal completely block the black tide?”

“As long as you don’t encounter the source of the black tide, there should be no problem. If you do meet the source and possess the power I had at my peak, the effect of the Mutian Divine Seal can still hold off.”

Ye Chen: “Then why do you only have one finger left, Emperor Mutian?”

Emperor Mutian was so frustrated he wanted to pound his chest, only realizing he was down to one finger.

Really want to crush this brat, hitting him where it hurts.

Seeing Emperor Mutian silent, Ye Chen felt relieved.

Serves him right for being so arrogant earlier, saying I’m not qualified.

Isn’t he still getting rebuked!

On the way.

Ye Chen kept forming the Mutian Divine Seal and got deeper insights into this Secret Technique.

However, his understanding of the Mutian Divine Seal was still quite superficial. It was useful against the black tide outside, but the deeper he ventured into the forbidden zone, the harder it was to resist.

Several times, the Mutian Divine Seal was ineffective, and Ye Chen’s body was engulfed by the black tide.

Within the black tide, his fear, desire to kill, greed, and other negative emotions were infinitely amplified.

Thankfully, each time, Emperor Mutian’s Divine Finger helped dissolve the negative effects brought by the black tide, and Ye Chen had no choice but to humble himself, asking Emperor Mutian about the profound changes of the Mutian Divine Seal.

“A hundred years ago, if you had met me, I would definitely have taken you as my disciple,” Emperor Mutian said sincerely.

Such potential is terrifying.

The complex changes of the Mutian Divine Seal are like second nature to him.

Ye Chen just smiled.

Emperor Mutian was thinking too much.

“Emperor Mutian, the black tide is eternal destruction. The real danger trapped within it actually comes from each person’s inner self, right?”

“You could say that. The black tide can infinitely provoke a person’s negative emotions, plunging them into hysterical madness.

It doesn’t matter, let me tell you a bit more.

I suspect that during the destruction of the previous epoch, a Supreme Powerhouse collected the negative emotions emitted by countless beings at the time of their deaths, forming the black tide.

Consistently, the cultivators of the Celestial Burial Sea have been exterminating evil spirits.

However, evil spirits lack the ability to breed offspring, yet they never seem to be completely wiped out. It’s possible that evil spirits are born from the source of the black tide, and each time it appears in the forbidden zone, it births evil spirits!

Because, after the black tide passes, the number of evil spirits within the zone increases tremendously.”

Ye Chen felt a chill in his heart.

Back to the previous epoch.

From what he sees now, the destruction of the epoch also has significant issues.

Could it be a result of human effort?

“Emperor Mutian truly knows everything,” Ye Chen said with a smile.

“Don’t butter me up.”

Ye Chen wasn’t embarrassed. Meeting an insider from the Celestial Burial Sea now, even if he’s not in the best state, knows a lot. Besides, this insider has been stuck for a hundred years, and now that he’s out, he has a tendency to talk a lot. Perfect for asking questions.

“Emperor Mutian, what is the Enlightenment Tea Tree?”

“The Enlightenment Tea Tree is a thing of collective heavenly fortune born in the forbidden zone. Just one leaf can substitute for a hundred years of hard work.”

Ye Chen: “Then if someone can get a pound of Enlightenment Tea, they can be born directly as a Supreme Powerhouse?”

Emperor Mutian was so angry his Divine Finger was about to explode.

“Whose Enlightenment Tea is measured by the pound?! Even I have drunk and seen less than a hundred pieces of the Enlightenment Tea.

Enlightenment Tea Trees grow in the forbidden zone, appearing once every thousand years. Each time, if more than ten leaves are harvested, the tree will vanish for a millennium.

And the so-called one leaf substituting for a hundred years isn’t about the kind of power you comprehend, rather it refers to the mental state.

Mental state, although important in early and mid-stage cultivation, doesn’t occupy a primary position.

But in the later stages, the mental state is crucial. Once it’s elevated, strength follows. If not, power won’t increase.

Like what you said about drinking Enlightenment Tea at birth, it would be useless without experience, understanding nothing, no mental growth, how can you improve your mental state?”

Ye Chen didn’t argue.

So that’s how it is, makes sense.

Remember that.

Calling me a low-level character.

Later, when I gather ten or eight pounds of Enlightenment Tea Leaves, don’t beg me for a drink!

Ye Chen continued, “Emperor Mutian knows everything, so about the Nine Celestial Burial Coffins…”

This time, before Ye Chen could finish, Emperor Mutian issued a stern warning: “You can ask anything, but you are not allowed to talk about the Nine Celestial Burial Coffins!”

Ye Chen actually wanted to ask about the Celestial Dao Cage, but thinking about it, his mother was trapped in the Celestial Dao Cage while Emperor Mutian was already reduced to just a finger and trapped in the forbidden zone.

It’s pointless to ask.

“Emperor Mutian, do you know the Celestial Child Emperor?”

“Yes, I once beat up him and his wife terribly.”

“That’s good,” Ye Chen said.

“Hmm? You know them too?”

Ye Chen said calmly, “Not really, just nearly killed their daughter once. If they come for revenge, with Emperor Mutian backing me, I’m not afraid.”

Emperor Mutian’s Divine Finger trembled.

Not afraid…

How can you not be afraid?!

I’m down to one finger now!

No way, once I retrieve the item sealed inside Haoyang Celestial Fire, I can’t stay with this brat.

Finally got my chance to see daylight again and can’t let this kid get me killed!

All the way, Ye Chen chit-chatted with Emperor Mutian haphazardly.

As for the passage of time, it was entirely ignored.

The dull journey continued, and just then Emperor Mutian called out, “Beware, there are Emperor Realm Evil Spirits nearby!”
