The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2706: Chapter 2680: Turmoil! (Sixth Release)

Three months ago, Yu Zhenzi issued an order to focus on cultivating the sect’s disciples. Although the disciples’ strength improved considerably, still...

Compared to other major forces, they lagged far behind!

Why?

Because of the existence of Ancient Divine Body geniuses!

Some martial artists, upon receiving the Origin qi granted by the Moon with Jade Ring, developed a peculiar resonance with this energy!

After the resonance emerged, their constitutions underwent immense transformations, awakening various Ancient Divine Bodies that were said to only exist in ancient times!

An Ancient Divine Body—any one of them—is an existence capable of crushing a Supreme Divine Body!

Those martial artists whose bloodline had a faint connection to the Ancient Divine Body from days of old, and who were fortunate enough to awaken this Ancient Divine Body under the stimulation of Origin qi, are the truly fearsome ones!

The speed of their level increases, the rapid advance of their strength, is something that no other martial artist can compare to!

Even if they were originally ordinary or had shockingly poor talent, once they awakened an Ancient Divine Body, they would transform as if reborn! No genius, no matter how heaven-defying, could equal them!

The Ancient Divine Body brings not only immense strength and unparalleled talent; most importantly, their constitutions differ entirely from those of the Divine Kingdom martial artists now. They are incredibly harmonious with the Divine Kingdom’s pervasive Origin qi!

Under the Moon with Jade Ring’s environment, Ancient Divine Body geniuses are considered, in many minds, the true chosen ones, untouchable!

However, if Ye Chen were here, he would certainly notice that these so-called Ancient Divine Bodies are not truly awakened Ancient Divine Bodies of old, but rather some kind of Pseudo Ancient Divine Bodies forcibly condensed through the Divine Kingdom’s Origin qi!

Although these Pseudo Divine Bodies possess incredibly overwhelming power, surpassing even the Supreme Divine Body, they still cannot compare to the true Ancient Divine Body.

Much less to him.

Moreover, the most crucial issue is that forcibly condensing these Pseudo Ancient Divine Bodies through external power may grant temporary, immense strength, along with rapid advancements in cultivation levels. However, as with the Guardian Descendants, doing so severely impacts one’s martial arts foundation!

In fact, it is far more severe than that of the Guardian Descendants!

Even if offered freely to Ye Chen, he would never accept it. Yet, most people in the Divine Kingdom are utterly oblivious to this.

Yu Zhenzi sighed deeply. The current situation is a time of sect upheaval, when the forces of the Divine Kingdom are reorganizing their standings. The Divine Extreme Sect, once flourishing and soaring within the Divine Kingdom, suddenly finds its strength significantly left behind by other First-class forces!

It seems that, let alone being a First-class Sect, countless Second-rate Sects are waiting to seize their position and replace them, aren’t they?

And what’s even more worrisome for Yu Zhenzi—

Is the Dragon Suppressing Palace!

Over the past few months, the Dragon Suppressing Palace has drastically surged in strength due to the Ancient Divine Bodies and ancient experts!

And Bai Yuhuang’s strength is no longer what it used to be!

The half-year agreement that Bai Yuhuang had once set with Ye Chen is fast approaching!

Bai Yuhuang even boasted about humiliating Ye Chen in a life-and-death duel!

He vowed to sever Ye Chen’s head and hang it high in the sky!

To provoke worldwide scorn!

Yu Zhenzi, as Ye Chen’s master, was both furious and exasperated!

Yu Zhenzi rubbed his forehead and said, ”At this rate, calamity will come to our Divine Extreme Sect!”

He thought of Ye Chen...

The Ye Chen who had created countless miracles!

If Ye Chen were still here, surely the situation would be vastly different, wouldn’t it?

But right now, Ye Chen was nowhere to be found!

Three months ago, Ye Chen had said he was going to investigate something, and he never returned!

The sage-like old man hesitated and said, ”Sect Master... could it be that Ye Chen...”

Ye Chen, the figure who once dazzled the entirety of the Divine Kingdom, has been silent for three months now...

Though the Divine Extreme Sect has largely been in a closed-state during this time, Ye Chen’s continued absence has still caused a significant negative influence on the sect’s morale!

Many have begun to suspect that Ye Chen may have perished!

Otherwise, why has he not shown up for three months?

Even some elders couldn’t help but entertain similar thoughts...

Yu Zhenzi, however, spoke decisively, ”Ye Chen will return soon!”

That day, after Ye Chen left, Yu Zhenzi publicly announced that Ye Chen had gone into seclusion training.

The elder frowned as well and said, ”Sect Master, where exactly has Ye Chen gone? Our Divine Extreme Sect has yet to face attacks from other forces, partially because we didn’t become embroiled in the vendettas of ancient experts, but also due to Ye Chen’s reputation!”

”During the Divine Light Ceremony, Ye Chen’s performance was astonishing! Absolutely breathtaking! Even now, three months later, the residual awe remains! But no wall in the world is impenetrable! If this continues, people will notice sooner or later! When that happens, Divine Extreme Sect will truly be doomed!”

The Third Elder also nodded and said, ”Indeed! Sect Master, regardless of how important Ye Chen’s cultivation training is, ask him to show himself temporarily at least once!”

”Exactly! At this point, forget outsiders—many of our sect’s disciples are questioning whether Ye Chen has died, or perhaps, after the Moon with Jade Ring, his strength failed to show any progress, and he’s no longer the peerless monstrous prodigy he once was, which is why he dares not reveal himself?”

”Nonsense!” Yu Zhenzi’s face darkened, ”Ye Chen will always be the pride of our Divine Extreme Sect!”

Yu Zhenzi understood, though, that recently, many of the sect’s disciples whose strength had soared had even surpassed the prowess Hua Jingtiao displayed back then, so naturally, they no longer held as much reverence for Ye Chen!

Some had even begun to think Ye Chen was nothing exceptional!

The Divine Kingdom is, at its core, an extremely brutal and realistic place!

Although Yu Zhenzi’s anger lingered, he was truly anxious deep down.

Where has Ye Chen gone? Why hasn’t he appeared yet?

Right now is the perfect time to elevate strength! If Ye Chen misses this, it would be a great pity!

And if that’s the case, even upon Ye Chen’s return, he may find himself overtaken by the sect’s other disciples and those Divine Kingdom geniuses...

Could Ye Chen still compete against those Ancient Divine Body geniuses then?

And where has Tu Lanxin gone? Three months ago, she suddenly appeared, left behind a jade talisman, instructing him to protect a young girl with his full effort!

She didn’t say why! Didn’t explain her reasons! Nor mention where she was headed!

Right now, he was genuinely growing anxious!

Could something have happened to Tu Lanxin as well?

If so, then the Divine Extreme Sect would truly face a nightmare!

Just as Yu Zhenzi and the elders were in discussion, shouts arose from the Divine Extreme Sect’s central square!

Nearly all the sect’s disciples were gathered there.

At the center of the crowd were five women and a young man with a beaming smile.

The five women were none other than Sun Yi, Fen Ying, Lin Yaqin, Chu Ying, and Yin Ming!

As for Zining and Xia Ruoxue—three months ago, for reasons unknown, they had abruptly left.

It was as though they were searching for something!
