Supreme Sword God

Chapter 959: Chapter 958: The Vicissitudes of Time, Reunion with the Celestial Cauldron

As Ye Chen finished speaking, Long Chen, Luo Qingyi and the others immediately withdrew the Origin Power they were channeling into him.

”Boom rumble rumble!”

The True Meaning of Ye Chen’s World-Suppressing Celestial Stele resonated with the actual World-Suppressing Celestial Stele. Mysterious lines on the stele lit up in vast swathes, light spreading out and merging into the True Meaning of Ye Chen’s World-Suppressing Celestial Stele.

The outline of the True Meaning of the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele grew clearer and clearer.

The Celestial Demon Qi that had accumulated for so long in Ye Chen’s Origin World was quickly exhausted.

The Ancient Clan Origin was the same.

At that moment, Ye Chen split his mind. A strand of his consciousness entered his Origin World, circulating the Primordial True Explanation, and across the boundless spacetime, absorbed the Ancient Clan Origin stored in the Primordial Celestial Origin Pool.

Then Ye Chen’s figure suddenly shot up from the ground, a powerful aura sweeping out, flying toward the unrefined tombstone Sword Qi on the sixth layer of the Sword Tomb.

The tombstone Sword Qi turned into pure Sword Essence, pouring into the True Meaning of the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele within the Tenth Grotto Heaven.

The Celestial Demon remnant souls that were being suppressed had no way to resist at all, directly crushed to death by Ye Chen’s power. The Celestial Demon Qi that leaked out was likewise drawn into the True Meaning of the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele by Ye Chen.

At such speed, it was like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood!

And from within that Evil Spirit Emperor Weapon, evil power continued to surge out; all of this was for the sake of fully manifesting the True Meaning of the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele!

”My Qi Blood is a bit lacking...”

Ye Chen muttered under his breath, then, without hesitation, took out that drop of ninety-percent-purity Divine Blood given by the Celestial Cauldron Emperor. Ninety-percent-purity Divine Blood was extraordinarily effective!

”My Spirit Seal Power is also a bit insufficient...” Ye Chen frowned.

Just then—

The ancient Enlightenment Tea Tree took the initiative to fly over.

Its branches and leaves swayed, specks of light drifting out and converging toward Ye Chen.

Ye Chen had long suspected that the Enlightenment Tea Tree might have sentience; now, seeing this, his guess was confirmed!

”Brother Cha, thanks. I’ll be sure to water you with more fertilizer in the future!” Ye Chen shouted, immediately accepting the white light falling from the Enlightenment Tea Tree. The white light surged into his Sea of Consciousness, rapidly replenishing his depleted Spiritual Power, which he then used to keep driving the Spirit Seal Power into continuous eruption!

This time condensing the True Intent of the Tenth Grotto Heaven, the commotion was anything but small.

He had really emptied out his family savings...

Fortunately there was help from Long Chen, Luo Qingyi, Little Phoenix, and the Enlightenment Tea Tree; otherwise, it still would’ve been dicey.

As time passed, the remaining tombstone Sword Qi in the sixth layer of the Sword Tomb was completely refined by Ye Chen, and naturally, the Celestial Demon remnant souls also became one of the energies for Ye Chen to condense the True Meaning of the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele.

The great work was accomplished!

The Ten Great Grotto Heavens slowly revolved around Ye Chen, ten utterly distinct Pocket World True Intents appearing incomparably magnificent and grand.

Especially the Grotto Heaven where the True Meaning of the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele resided, which was filled with a mysterious, unfathomable power. Misty light veiled everything; even Long Chen, whose strength was the greatest present, could not see through it!

”How does it feel?”

Master Legs, whose leg hair was almost all gone, was even more excited than Ye Chen, shouting.

Ye Chen: ”Hard to say for now. Although I’ve managed to condense this thing, it’s too profound. I’ll slowly mull it over later!”

The hardest step was already done; would he still be afraid he couldn’t figure it out in the future?

With that, Ye Chen looked toward where the Enlightenment Tea Tree stood, cupped his fists, and said, ”Brother Cha, many thanks. I’m a man of my word. Zizi, from now on you’ll provide more fertilizer to Brother Cha.”

Let his little bird build a nest on the Enlightenment Tea Tree, and the relationship would naturally get closer!

But who would’ve thought—

Just as Ye Chen finished speaking, one of the Enlightenment Tea Tree’s branches suddenly whipped out, lashing heavily toward Ye Chen.

”Boom!”

Ye Chen’s body was directly smacked flying.

He didn’t even have time to react, let alone block...

After whipping Ye Chen once, the Enlightenment Tea Tree instantly flew away.

Ye Chen’s face darkened a bit, and he muttered, ”This is a mother tree!”

”How can you tell?” Long Chen came over, asking curiously.

Master Legs: ”You can see even that with your Martial Arts Celestial Eye?”

Ye Chen replied without thinking, ”Only females change faces at the drop of a hat!”

”Swoosh!”

A strand of Sword Qi burst forth. Luo Qingyi swung a sword, cleaving Ye Chen flying, then turned around and left.

Ye Chen: ”...”

”Zizi, what are you trying to do!” Ye Chen froze for a moment, then noticed Little Phoenix’s belly was puffed up; it seemed like she wanted to breathe fire at him too!

In the end, Little Phoenix didn’t spit any out. After all, she didn’t have the strength of the Enlightenment Tea Tree or Luo Qingyi; even if she did, it wouldn’t mean much.

”Men are heartless!” Little Phoenix snorted, then immediately chased after Luo Qingyi and left.

Master Legs laughed loudly.

Ye Chen glared darkly at Master Legs: ”Master Legs, you’re about out of hair.”

Master Legs’ laughter abruptly cut off, and one leg suddenly kicked out.

Ye Chen’s expression changed drastically, immediately erupting with the Void Beast True Intent. A huge turtle shell blocked in front of him.

”Bang!”

Even so, the force of that one kick from Master Legs still sent Ye Chen flying.

Master Legs kept laughing smugly.

So satisfying!

If he didn’t hurry up and kick him now, he’d never be able to kick him later. This brat was getting more monstrous by the day!

...

Next, Ye Chen spent another day refining the tombstone that led to the seventh layer of the Sword Tomb, obtaining the Nine Heavens Sword Manual’s Cultivation Technique for condensing a Dharma Form.

He wanted to get closer to Luo Qingyi, but Miss Qing didn’t bother with him at all, and Little Phoenix was fanning the flames at the side.

As for Master Legs... forget it. Just seeing that big foot made him want to hack at it a few times with his sword. Yesterday Master Legs’ twisted sense of fun flared up and he’d kicked Ye Chen several times; Ye Chen noted it all down in a little notebook!

With Long Chen, he still wasn’t that familiar, not much to talk about.

Helpless, Ye Chen could only go chat with the Enlightenment Tea Tree, but that block of wood just wouldn’t respond. In the end, Ye Chen could only quietly pluck three pieces of Enlightenment Tea and leave.

Time to head out!

His Martial Dao cultivation had more or less caught up to his Spirit Dao and Flesh Dao. Now he just needed to stabilize his explosively increased Martial Dao power, and then he could proceed step by step to condense a Dharma Form.

If he didn’t go out soon, the Celestial Cauldron Emperor might decide he didn’t want to give him any Enlightenment Tea.

If a Great Emperor-level powerhouse became petty, that would be truly terrifying!

Before leaving—

Ye Chen glanced at his Celestial Mark Sword.

The Celestial Mark Sword was already more than halfway done devouring the Divine Sword fragments. It likely wouldn’t take long before his Lifebound Sword could advance to a Saint Sword.

Although right now, he wasn’t lacking for Saint Swords.

But... a Lifebound Sword cannot be replaced!

When the Lifebound Sword advances, one’s own Martial Dao will also undergo a sublimation. Ye Chen had already decided that when the Celestial Mark Sword advanced, that would be the moment he condensed his Dharma Form!

”Everyone, I’ll head out first. Don’t miss me too much.” Ye Chen laughed loudly, called out his goodbye, then with a thought, exited the Sword Tomb and returned to the residence arranged by the Sports Alliance Headquarters.

After that, Ye Chen left the Sports Alliance Headquarters, wandered around outside for a bit, then returned to the headquarters to see the Celestial Cauldron Emperor.

After all, he’d said earlier that the Enlightenment Tea was being kept by someone else. If he didn’t go out for a spin, the Celestial Cauldron Emperor would definitely know he’d been fooling him, and that would be trouble.

...

In the main hall of the Sports Alliance, Ye Chen met the Celestial Cauldron Emperor and cupped his fists in salute.

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor’s gaze flashed as he said, ”It’s been a month. Your aura is much stronger than before, very good!”

The implication... It’s been a month. Where’s the Enlightenment Tea you promised me?

Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, ”It’s all thanks to the Divine Blood you granted me and the Divine Power from the Celestial Blade Emperor.”

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor: ”You seem to have gone out for a bit?”

Ye Chen pretended not to understand. The emperor also couldn’t keep harping on about the Enlightenment Tea and appear small-minded, so he could only keep hinting!

Ye Chen: ”After being in seclusion for too long, I felt the vicissitudes of time, so I went out to take a look, to witness the ebb and flow of the world and experience the many facets of human nature.”

”Where is my Enlightenment Tea?!” The Celestial Cauldron Emperor finally couldn’t hold back anymore, his booming voice echoing!

Playing dumb was one thing, but putting on such a profound air on top of that...

This damned brat, after only one month he’s talking about the vicissitudes of time... He’s overacting way too much!
