The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2678: Chapter 2652: How Much Longer? (Three More)

”Are you talking about the Divine Kingdom Ye Family?”

Tu Lanxin’s expression turned peculiar upon hearing Ye Chen’s words. Then, as if realizing something, she nodded: ”It seems your master Yu Zhenzi told you about it. Yes, it is the Divine Kingdom Ye Family.”

”Interestingly, your surname is also Ye. Sometimes, I wonder if your terrifying heaven-defying spiritual root might have some faint connection with the Ye Family’s lineage.”

”But this thought was quickly overturned. In that massacre, it seems no one from the Ye Family survived.”

”From that day forward, the Heavenly King, along with the other five sects and the Divine Kingdom’s laws, were all reshaped.”

”Historically, there were two annihilations that shook the very soul.”

”One was the disappearance of the Ye Family.”

”The other belonged to a force known as Juehan Palace.”

”I’ve even heard that the rumors about these two forces are subtly interconnected.”

”Unfortunately, no one knows the truth behind it, nor what kind of conspiracy lay hidden.”

”I cannot speak much about Juehan Palace, but the disappearance of the Ye Family was truly catastrophic.”

”You should know, the Ye Family was deeply rooted in the Divine Kingdom, yet their reach extended to every corner, even to the Upper Realm.”

”With such overwhelming power and influence, who could bring about their destruction? It’s truly incomprehensible.”

”Heh, why am I suddenly talking to you about these ancient tales?”

”Let’s talk about the Guardian Clans instead. If a disaster were to befall the Divine Kingdom, the descendants of the Guardian Clans could draw upon some of the Divine Kingdom’s Origin Power and experience a massive surge in strength! Once, many Guardian Clans existed within the Divine Kingdom—prestigious families of unparalleled prominence. However, as time passed and the Divine Kingdom enjoyed peace, the Origin Power flowing through the veins of the Guardians began to thin out, and many families fell into decline...”

”As for me, I am a descendant of the Guardian Clans.”

”On the day the Divine Light Ceremony concluded, I suddenly received the summons of the Divine Kingdom Ye Family’s will!”

”Because of this, I couldn’t even participate in the Divine Light Ceremony and instead followed the summons to a secret realm... There, an elder entrusted me with a portion of Origin Power, drastically increasing my strength!”

”However...”

A glimmer of melancholy surfaced in Tu Lanxin’s enchanting eyes: ”Even now, I am still no match for Yang Chiyuan. The reason I was able to save you was merely that my Origin Power frightened him away...”

Ye Chen was dumbfounded upon hearing this, his face reflecting utter shock. He never imagined Tu Lanxin’s background could be so intricate...

Involving the Divine Kingdom Ye Family!

He thought about revealing his true identity but ultimately dismissed the idea.

After all, his secret as the Samsara Master was far too critical.

Even within the Poison Cave, many had witnessed and learned of this secret.

But with the eruption of Xuanyuan Han and the Beast Tide, all witnesses perished.

No one survived.

The secret remained buried.

Tu Lanxin suddenly fixed her gaze on Ye Chen and said, ”Ye Chen, I’ve not only gained power but also obtained many memories from that era. Most importantly, the Divine Kingdom is about to face immense calamity!”

Ye Chen listened intently, his face grave.

”In that era, humans fought back the Heavenly Demon Clan and fortified the spatial barriers between the Divine Kingdom and the planes with seals. Because of this, the Heavenly Demon Clan has been unable to invade again for all these years. Even when a few of them slip through cracks in the seal, they are merely weak and lower-class demons.”

”But now, things have changed! After tens of thousands of years, those seals are nearly worn to nothing!”

”As little as ten years—or at most a century—the Heavenly Demon Clan will invade the Divine Kingdom once again!”

”This explains why, lately, phenomena have been occurring frequently in the Divine Kingdom, and those ancient experts are awakening one by one! If the Divine Kingdom hopes to survive this catastrophe, it must strengthen its combat strength!”

”Back then, the Ye Family’s destruction also seemed to coincide with the chaos between the Heavenly Demon Clan and the Divine Kingdom.”

”I cannot ascertain what will happen this time as they reappear and awaken!”

”Even though the Ye Family has already vanished from this world, why does it still come to this?”

”Those seals were created using the lives of countless supreme beings; with the current state of martial arts in the Divine Kingdom, repairing them is nearly impossible!”

Ye Chen’s face turned increasingly solemn.

He speculated whether the events this time might ultimately be directed at him.

Fortunately, there was still time...

At the earliest, it would happen in ten years...

Ten years may seem fleeting to martial artists, but it is, in truth, ample time for countless events to unfold!

Ye Chen thought back to everything he’d achieved so far in martial arts—it hadn’t been long.

Perhaps, within these ten years, an unforeseen turning point might arise?

At this moment, Tu Lanxin unexpectedly said in a heavy tone, ”Ye Chen, though you may not be connected to the Divine Kingdom Ye Family, as an unparalleled genius of the Divine Kingdom, you must shoulder the responsibility of saving it!”

Urgency burned in her enchanting eyes. Ten years was far too brief for an apocalyptic disaster.

”What?” Ye Chen was momentarily stunned, ”Me?”

Tu Lanxin nodded firmly: ”Indeed, it is you! You are the most exceptional martial artist I have ever seen in the Divine Kingdom!”

Ye Chen couldn’t help but give a bitter laugh: ”Fairy Tu, your own strength is far superior to mine. Aren’t you better suited for this? Besides, what of those ancient beings?”

Tu Lanxin shook her head, her enchanting eyes clouded further with sorrow as she sighed: ”I’ve only acquired a fragment of the Divine Kingdom’s Origin Power. In terms of potential, I pale in comparison to you!”

”Even those ancient experts cannot match your potential!”

”My primary task is to find someone capable of subduing those ancient experts, someone who can restore peace to the Divine Kingdom and unite its forces against the impending disaster!”

She didn’t disclose to Ye Chen that her sudden surge in power had come at a cost—her martial arts foundation had been destabilized, making future growth exponentially harder...

Not everyone possessed the terrifying martial arts foundation that Ye Chen did. Even Tu Lanxin, for all her exceptional talent within the Divine Kingdom, was no exception. In truth, even Ye Chen himself would likely face hidden dangers in his martial arts foundation from the immense increase granted by the Divine Kingdom’s Origin Power...

Yet, regardless of this, Tu Lanxin accepted the power. As a descendant of the Guardian Clans, it was her fate. For the future of the Divine Kingdom, she was ready to sacrifice her very life—let alone risk her martial arts foundation.

Severe determination filled her exquisite face as Tu Lanxin stared directly at Ye Chen: ”You are the most suitable candidate! Those ancient experts were sealed largely because they were unruly and defiant; in ancient times, the Guardians punished them this way, imprisoning them for tens of thousands of years!”

She was well aware that Ye Chen, despite his arrogance, was far more disciplined than the willful and uncontrollable Ancient Ones.

”Therefore, your immediate priority is to elevate your strength! Magnify it at any cost! Rise to a level where you can suppress those defiant Ancient Ones and force them to submit to you! Otherwise, the Divine Kingdom will be doomed by this calamity!”

”If the Divine Kingdom perishes, Lingwu Continent will undoubtedly fall into demonic hands as well!”
