Chapter 2595: Chapter 2569: The Eternal Sacred King’s Gambit (Part 5)
Ye Chen smiled knowingly: “Then I must cultivate diligently. I don’t want to be defeated by you.”
“Good to know.”
Mu Yan proudly lifted her chin, which made her appear quite adorable.
Afterward, the man in the black robe spoke: “Your Highness, Senior Di Ling, we should not delay any longer and depart as soon as possible.”
“This time, I cannot stay on the Lingwu Continent for too long.”
Mu Yan looked back at Ye Chen reluctantly, then followed Di Ling and the man in the black robe to leave.
After Mu Yan left, Ye Chen flipped his wrist and tossed a special jade talisman to Gu Nanfei, saying indifferently, “Keep this. Should any problems arise, you can use it. Generally speaking, no one who sees this jade talisman would dare to touch the Nine Remoteness Kingdom.”
The Nine Remoteness Emperor looked at the jade talisman in his hand, engraved with the character ‘Xuan’ and exquisitely beautiful, and asked with some confusion: “This is…?”
Ye Chen turned around and walked toward the outside of the Imperial Palace, saying calmly, “Divine Extreme Sect, a token personally bestowed by the sect master. Seeing the token is as seeing the Divine Extreme Sect itself. Those who offend Divine Extreme Sect, no matter how far, will be pursued and punished!”
As his words fell, Ye Chen and Zhou Yuanxin had disappeared.
Leaving only the stunned crowd inside the Imperial Palace.
In the eyes of Gu Nanfei, a look of earth-shattering astonishment gradually emerged— even a thousand times, ten thousand times more shocking than when Ye Chen killed Mu Zhengting!
“Divine Extreme Sect… Isn’t that a First-class Sect within the Divine Kingdom…?”
Ye Chen, is this an act against the heavens?!!!
…
Ye Chen and Zhou Yuanxin boarded the special flying ship of Divine Extreme Sect, planning to return to the Divine Kingdom.
Although he could tear through the Void, he was unable to do so for the Void of the Divine Kingdom.
Unless under special circumstances, he would still need to use the flying ship.
And the flying ship of Divine Extreme Sect was extremely fast, making it even more suitable for their journey.
After he arrived on the Lingwu Continent this time, he used the Communication Jade Token to contact Cang Ye and learned that everything was well with the Mystic Moon Sect, so he did not go back.
Although he missed Xia Ruoxue, Sun Yi, Zining, Fen Ying, and others, including Cang Ye, Bai Zhentang, and Ye Lingtian very much!
However, he knew that if he truly missed them, he should cultivate even harder, increase his power with all his might!
Only when he possessed the power to protect them could they truly be reunited!
After he returned to the Divine Kingdom, he did make a trip to the Shenxuan Sect, where Yin Ming and Elder Gu had temporarily taken up residence.
Long Chen had kept his word and took good care of Shenxuan Sect, which was also rapidly growing thanks to this opportunity!
On this visit, Ye Chen returned the life-saving item to Elder Gu, which officially completed the task Elder Gu entrusted to him!
After all, Elder Gu was once the successor to the sect master of Divine Extreme Sect; if he could restore his level of cultivation, Ye Chen would naturally feel more at ease.
But just as Ye Chen was rushing to Bone Elder’s Mansion, an extremely rich aroma of wine suddenly wafted over.
Zhou Yuanxin’s round face suddenly turned blissful: “Brother Ye, such a strong scent of wine! I’ve seen plenty of fine wines in Divine Extreme Sect, but I’ve never smelled anything like this!”
Ye Chen glanced at Zhou Yuanxin and said, “If you want to drink, drink. You don’t need my permission.”
The two headed straight for a secluded tavern nestled in the mountains.
The mountain tavern was very remote, silent, and empty.
Only an old man was sitting in a wicker chair, seemingly asleep.
A wine bowl covered the old man’s face, his complexion was ruddy, clearly drunk.
Zhou Yuanxin scratched his head and said to the elder, “Senior, how much for the wine here?”
Thinking the elder wouldn’t hear him, to Zhou Yuanxin’s surprise, the elder replied directly: “Free, for those with destiny to drink without limits.”
Zhou Yuanxin was taken aback, then without much thought, he chuckled and found a seat, drinking to his heart’s content.
After several cups, Zhou Yuanxin promptly fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, Ye Chen showed a strange smile.
He stepped next to the old man, removing the wine bowl that obscured the old man’s face, and said helplessly, “Elder Yong, what is this act about?”
“Have you come to sell alcohol in the Divine Kingdom?”
This old man sitting in the wicker chair is none other than Eternal Sacred King!
Ye Chen had felt the aroma of the alcohol to be very familiar from the beginning, and understanding dawned upon him when he saw the old man’s posture!
Eternal Sacred King opened his eyes, stretched languidly, stroked his beard, and feigned surprise, “Oh, isn’t this Ye Chen? What a coincidence! Are you here in the Divine Kingdom to do business because you’re short on money?”
Ye Chen gave Eternal Sacred King a blank look and glanced at Zhou Yuanxin, “Is my friend okay?”
Eternal Sacred King smiled, “It’s just strong liquor, it has quite an aftereffect, even Disaster Slaying Experts can’t withstand it; your friend’s division of realms, he should be fine after sleeping for a while.”
Ye Chen then felt relieved, “You didn’t have to act like this just to see me.”
Eternal Sacred King glanced at the dilapidated hut nearby, signaling with his eyes, “Brat, the Divine Kingdom is full of spies for the Heavenly Dao Palace, you think I wanted this? Come in with me.”
…
Inside the hut.
To Ye Chen’s surprise, this small hut was secluded by over a hundred array formations.
And it was another world entirely.
In the most central part, a chessboard was laid out.
It was an unfinished game.
Quite Elder Yong’s style.
Ye Chen still didn’t understand why Elder Yong always liked such ways of appearing?
Eternal Sacred King was already sitting on one side.
Ye Chen naturally seated himself opposite of the Eternal Sacred King.
Although Ye Chen now possesses the power to contend with the Third Layer of Disaster Slaying, he found that he could not see through the Eternal Sacred King who was across from him.
This old man had obviously made another breakthrough.
And it’s not just a minor division of realms.
After Disaster Slaying, isn’t it very difficult to make a breakthrough in just one division of realms?
But then again, Elder Yong has lingered at Great Void Peak for a long time, he might have possessed the power to break through Disaster Slaying ten thousand years ago.
His deep foundation is beyond ordinary people’s imaginations.
Elder Yong was straightforward, “Kid, how many Samsara Tablets do you have control over now?”
Ye Chen was startled, speaking solemnly, “The Dust and Wind Tablets have been fully activated, the Flame Tablet is refined, but unfortunately, the Flame Tablet requires too much energy. I’m unable to fully activate it or even utilize its power.”
“Also, the Reincarnation Tablet within Zining, the Spirit Tablet, can also be considered under control.”
“Only that I have no way to extract it now.”
He learned the medical skills of Ancient Medical God and discovered that it was extremely difficult to extract the Reincarnation Tablet from within Zining’s body; he couldn’t be so selfish as to give up on Zining just for the Tablet.
Eternal Sacred King nodded, “Ten Reincarnation Tablets, and you currently have control of four.”
“That’s still far from enough.”
“There isn’t much time left until that day.”
Ye Chen’s eyes tightened, curiously asking, “Which day?”
Eternal Sacred King changed the subject, “There are some things I cannot reveal too much of.”
“Next, you should focus on improving your strength while also searching for Samsara Tablets as soon as possible.”
“I do know some of the whereabouts of the Samsara Tablets.”
Ye Chen stood up, quite stirred, “Elder Yong, do you know the whereabouts of the remaining ones?”
