Chapter 2188 Unexpected Situation
Chapter 2188: Unexpected Situation Chapter 2188: Unexpected Situation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the end, the breakthrough halted just before he reached the Star Aperture realm. Ye Chen felt a bit surprised. It should not have been that easy to break through, so how had he made such significant progress in just a few days? This was very unusual! At this moment, the voice of Feng Qingyang resonated in his mind. “Actually, I thought you would be able to reach the Star Aperture realm, but it seems that I was wrong.” “Master, what do you mean?” Ye Chen was taken aback and quickly inquired of Feng Qingyang. Feng Qingyang elaborated, “Do you still recall the Myriad Sword Seal? This is a power that allows one to combat a Great Void realm expert.” “The sword essence and a portion of the cultivation of a Great Void realm expert are concealed within.” “After unsealing it, although you will no longer possess this incredible trump card, the aura will still nourish your dantian and enhance your cultivation.” “Normally, an ordinary person would have broken through and reached at least the third level of the Star Aperture realm. However, the accumulation required by your Reincarnation Bloodline is too formidable, which is why you only advanced to this level…” “This is also the primary reason you are able to contend with Sealed Gate realm experts. The Reincarnation Bloodline will make your cultivation journey more challenging than for any other cultivator. While others may cultivate in a straightforward manner, you will be forced to cultivate in a hellish mode. However, your overall power will ultimately be even more fearsome!” “Furthermore, as you progress, you will increasingly recognize that the gap between the Sealed Gate realm and the Great Void realm is as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.” “Although you are close to reaching the Star Aperture realm, it does not mean that you can confront an expert who is on the verge of reaching the Great Void realm.” “Additionally, the power of the Myriad Sword Seal is on the verge of vanishing. Before it dissipates, you should be able to enter the Star Aperture realm. Once you achieve that, you will be able to barely challenge middle-stage Sealed Gate realm experts, or perhaps those who are a little stronger.” “This should be your limit.” “If your opponent is at this level, but possesses greater strength than others at the same level, you will find yourself in peril, so exercise caution.” “I wonder what has befallen the Mu Family of the Divine Kingdom after they experienced the Myriad Sword Seal. The situation should be quite interesting over there.” … Meanwhile, within the Divine Kingdom, the Mu Family was in disarray. The surroundings were chaotic, and the ground was littered with debris. There were even lingering traces of sword essence nearby. The Mu Family’s plaque had been pierced by a sword, splitting it in two. The Mu Family did not hold a high status in the Divine Kingdom, but they were a cultivation family that could not be overlooked. At this moment, no one had anticipated that the Mu Family of the Divine Kingdom would face such destruction. Most importantly, they had no idea who was responsible for it. Countless individuals from the Divine Kingdom mocked them. Even the Mu Family’s rival families sent numerous observers to witness the spectacle. This enraged the head of the Mu Family to a great extent. The Mu Family had already dispatched individuals to repair the hall, and all of the important members of the Mu Family had retreated to the ancestral hall. The only area of the Mu Family that remained unaffected was the ancestral hall, which was shielded by an exceptionally powerful formation. Here, the ancestor of the Mu Family had been in seclusion for an extended period and had disregarded the affairs of the world. Inside the ancestral hall, the elders were gravely injured and were circulating their cultivation techniques to heal themselves. The head of the Mu Family, seated at the head of the assembly, wore a serious expression. He too was injured, but his fury surpassed his pain. “Men, what is the status outside?” “Almost all of the sword essence has dissipated,” a servant rushed over to report. “Very well.” His gaze finally landed on the elders who bore the least injuries. “Regardless of the circumstances, our family has become the laughingstock of the Divine Kingdom. The most crucial task for us now is to identify the instigator behind this attack.” “Reports from the Lingwu Continent indicate that Freezing Sky Mountain has been destroyed and that the mysterious girl has vanished. Prior to the incident, someone spotted a young man riding a black spiritual beast rushing toward Freezing Sky Mountain.” “This mysterious couple may be the key to understanding what happened.” “From today onward, recall all the disciples of the Mu Family who are outside.” “The Mu Family will divide into two factions. One will travel to the Lingwu Continent to locate this mysterious couple and bring them back.” “The other group will remain here to safeguard the Mu Family and restore the territory.” “Now, this matter has gone beyond Mu Ye’s demise. It concerns the wrath of the Mu Family!” “If we fail to capture that couple, we will pursue them relentlessly until one of us is dead!” … The scene shifted back to the inn in Jiuyuan City. “Brother Chen, have you recovered?” Ye Chen stood up and smiled at Chen Zhifan. Chen Zhifan nodded. Despite enduring months of inhumane torture and losing count of the number of times his limbs had been severed, he had regained his full strength thanks to the miraculous heaven-defying pills. Ye Chen was not surprised. Without such exceptional talent, Chen Zhifan would not have been able to reach the Lingwu Continent. “Ye Chen, are we returning to the academy now?” Chen Zhifan inquired. “I have something more important to attend to.” Ye Chen shook his head. “Please wait for me.” Ye Chen contemplated for a moment and resolved to make a visit to the Bloodsword Sect and the Blood Spirit Clan. The Bloodsword Sect was under the control of the puppets from the Blood Spirit Clan. If the Blood Spirit Clan could be eradicated, then the crisis in the Kunlun Mountains would be resolved ahead of schedule. Moreover, the powerful experts of the Kunlun Mountains could also be successfully rescued. Ye Chen possessed a map of the Southern Region. Thus, locating the Blood Spirit Clan was a straightforward task. Half an hour later, Ye Chen finally came to a halt. However, he did not approach. This was because he sensed several exceedingly powerful auras. How could the Blood Spirit Clan possess such formidable experts? In Ye Chen’s view, the overall strength of the Blood Spirit Clan in the Lingwu Continent was not particularly strong. They were even weaker than the Hall of Souls. However, he felt an intense sense of danger. Ye Chen observed the Blood Spirit Clan from a hundred meters away and noticed two elders guarding the entrance, their eyes closed. Ye Chen understood very well that the threat emanated from these two. At that moment, the two elderly men suddenly opened their eyes, and their cold gazes shot in Ye Chen’s direction. One of them seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning. He wielded a cold sword in his hand and suddenly attacked in a particular direction. A massive rock shattered, leaving a deep sword gash that cut through the ground. “No one’s here? How is that possible?” The elder frowned and closed his eyes, attempting to sense the surroundings, but he found nothing. He had no choice but to return to the entrance of the Blood Spirit Clan. “You did not apprehend him?” the other elder inquired. “That individual’s cultivation appears to be only on the verge of reaching the Star Aperture realm. Is he here seeking revenge against the Blood Spirit Clan?” “I am unsure,” the elder shook his head. “However, there is no need to fear. I do not know what method the other party employed, but by the time I arrived, he had already vanished. It is quite strange.” “The individual should not be here for us.” “He is likely an enemy of the Blood Spirit Clan.” “We cannot afford to lower our guard,” the other elder remarked, a murderous glint in his eyes. “At this critical moment, anyone who appears must be monitored closely.” “I will follow the aura and investigate later. I will remember the scent from that individual’s body. It will not be difficult to locate him using techniques.” With that, he formed a seal with his fingers and closed his eyes. Clearly, he was engaged in the process of searching for someone. He understood very well that their mission was to protect that lord. Any potential threat must be eradicated immediately. At that moment, five kilometers away, Ye Chen panted slightly. Had Feng Qingyang not provided his warning, he might have perished from that sword attack. Since when did the Blood Spirit Clan possess such terrifying experts? Feng Qingyang contemplated for a moment and stated, “Disciple, those two are from the Divine Kingdom. Their cultivation techniques appear to be very similar to a certain faction within the Divine Kingdom.”
