Chapter 2137 Not Another Drop
Chapter 2137: Not Another Drop Chapter 2137: Not Another Drop Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “Oh right, Ye Chen, I was very excited just now because that jade bottle should contain the Ancient Celestial Fluid. A drop of it is worth an incredible amount!” Upon hearing this, Ye Chen did not waste any time and headed straight to the Samsara Graveyard. If this Divine Doctor Cang Gu truly possessed the power the Demon Emperor claimed, then Ye Luo and even Chu Ying could be saved immediately! Ye Chen stood in front of the tombstone of Divine Doctor Cang Gu and cupped his fists in respect. “Senior, I am the owner of the Samsara Graveyard. I sincerely hope you can assist in saving my friends.” However, before he could finish his appeal, a mysterious energy surged forth, and the Ancient Golden Needle in Ye Chen’s hand flew out and landed firmly on the tombstone. “Firstly, this golden needle belongs to me.” “Secondly, I will not save anyone.” “Thirdly, leave.” His demeanor was exceedingly arrogant. Ye Chen was about to respond when a powerful force abruptly pushed him back. Ye Chen rubbed his nose helplessly. Although the ancient mighty experts of the Samsara Graveyard might possess peculiar tempers… This was the first time he had encountered such open hostility. The Demon Emperor regarded Ye Chen. “Very well, I am currently somewhat weakened. I shall enter your forehead first.” “That Divine Doctor Cang Gu has no particular interests. He is exceedingly odd.” “Although his strength may be average, his medical skills are astonishing throughout the entire Lingwu Continent.” “With the Ancient Celestial Liquid, my recovery will accelerate significantly.” “Thank you.” The demonic aura dissipated. Ye Chen employed his spiritual sense to probe the tombstone of Divine Doctor Cang Gu and sighed deeply. Then, he stored the Origin Stone away and produced a jade bottle, preparing to drip a drop into Ye Luo’s body. He instantly noticed that the lightning arcs within Ye Luo’s body diminished significantly when he did that. This was truly remarkable. Just as Ye Chen was about to drip another drop, the voice of Divine Doctor Cang Gu suddenly echoed, “If you drip another drop, that girl will perish.” Ye Chen was momentarily stunned and quickly halted his actions. The Demon Emperor then clarified, “This Ancient Celestial Liquid is extraordinarily potent. In my current state, I can only endure one drop. Ye Luo’s internal injuries are far too severe. If you were to drip another drop, her body would undoubtedly fail to endure it. At that moment, no one would be able to save her.” Ye Chen was left with no choice but to put the items away. It seemed he should acquire Feng Qingyang’s sword case as soon as possible and depart. … The phenomenon concluded. In a grand hall of the Divine Sword Palace, Wang Chuan and the masters of the twelve peaks were gathered, and directly above them was the sect master of the Divine Sword Palace. “Sect Master, I do not believe it is appropriate for Ye Chen to enter the forbidden land at this time.” One of the masters spoke directly. All the experts within the sect were aware of the assessment. This meeting between the masters and the Sect Master was prompted by discussions concerning Ye Chen. Everyone in the Divine Sword Palace recognized Ye Chen’s potential. The forbidden land of the Divine Sword was the core restricted area of the Divine Sword Palace. Even core disciples might not be permitted entry. “Master Xiao, what are you implying? My disciple is a remarkable prodigy. How can he be denied access to the Sword Forbidden Zone?” Wang Chuan immediately grew anxious. He slammed his hand on the chair and glared at Master Xiao in anger. Once he became furious, Master Xiao dared not speak further. He was also quite intimidated by Wang Chuan. “Martial Uncle, please, sit down first. Are we not discussing this matter?” The sect master of the Divine Sword Palace turned to Wang Chuan with a look of exasperation. It was precisely because of Ye Chen’s talents that they wished for him to enter the Sword Forbidden Land. “Sect Master, I believe Ye Chen lacks a sense of belonging at present. Why do we not wait until he becomes a core disciple before arranging for him to enter the Sword Forbidden Zone?” No one contradicted Xue Ting’s words. “That is indeed a good suggestion!” The other masters agreed. Ye Chen had recently entered the inner sect, but it would take him several more years to attain core disciple status. These years would be sufficient for Ye Chen to develop a sense of belonging. It would then be appropriate to allow him entry. Wang Chuan remained silent. He understood that he could not act hastily on the significant matters of the sect. The sect master of the Divine Sword Palace contemplated for a moment before nodding in agreement. This was the most favorable arrangement. “Sect Master, that is settled. When my disciple becomes a core disciple, he must be allowed to enter the Sword Forbidden Zone.” Wang Chuan was concerned they might change their minds. He had confidence that Ye Chen would soon achieve core disciple status. “Rest assured, I shall uphold my promise.” The sect master of the Divine Sword Palace could not help but feel both amused and exasperated, but he also recognized Wang Chuan’s deep affection for his disciple. As night approached, Wang Chuan sought out Ye Chen. After considerable contemplation, he shared the information regarding the forbidden land. He hoped that knowledge of the forbidden land would serve as motivation for Ye Chen’s cultivation. However, Ye Chen’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “Master, is there something concealed within the forbidden area of the Divine Sword Palace?” he inquired. “Is there a mysterious sword case?” “I am uncertain.” Wang Chuan became lost in thought and shook his head. “I cannot recall the particulars.” “As for a sword case, that is indeed possible.” “I heard that a senior from the Divine Sword Palace once ventured to a mysterious location within the Lingwu Continent and returned with something.” “Moreover, this individual remained within the forbidden land for a century.” “However, for reasons unknown, he was discovered dead within the forbidden land.” “From that point on, the forbidden land was entirely sealed.” “After the previous sect master passed, the current sect master instituted a rule, allowing core disciples the opportunity to step into the outer region of the forbidden land and experience the sword essence of the Divine Sword Palace…” That evening, Ye Chen and Wang Chuan engaged in extensive conversation. He had a vague suspicion that this senior from the Divine Sword Palace must have journeyed to the Divine Kingdom, and the item he returned with was undoubtedly the sword case. Becoming a core disciple would require one or two years. However, he could not afford to wait that long. His current strength was sufficient to overcome all challenges, so he intended to compress the required time as much as possible. … The following morning, Ye Chen arrived at the inner sect alone. After entering the inner sect, individuals were regarded as disciples that the Divine Sword Palace prioritized for cultivation. Each had their own courtyards. However, Ye Chen sought to avoid any trouble and had been residing on the mountain peak. Upon arriving in the inner sect, Ye Chen greeted several disciples amiably. They had long been aware of Ye Chen’s accomplishments. It was unthinkable for them to offend such a prodigy. Ye Chen made his way to the core martial arts arena of the inner sanctum. Compared to the outer sanctum, there were significantly fewer individuals present here. While entry to the inner sect was relatively easier, attaining core disciple status proved to be considerably more challenging. Only a few dozen individuals occupied the entire martial arts arena, each possessing a higher cultivation level than Ye Chen. Furthermore, they radiated an intense killing intent. They were undoubtedly formidable in actual combat. They had already attained sufficient strength to become core disciples. Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. Based on rankings, the Divine Sword Palace was indeed slightly weaker than the Mystic Moon Sect. However, if the sect master of the Divine Sword Palace were to contend for rankings, the Divine Sword Palace would likely surpass the Mystic Moon Sect by a significant margin. They might even have the potential to be among the top powers in the Lingwu Continent. He was genuinely curious. This sect master did not seem to enjoy being in the spotlight. Was he concealing something?
