Supreme Sword God-Chapter 571 - 570: Yellow Springs Sect Ruins, Exploration!
"The shocking secret involving the alternation of heaven and earth?"
Ye Chen murmured, looking at the Mad Old Man.
Is it true?
As a mere Martial Artist in the Mortal Transformation Realm and a Tier Seven Ultimate Celestial Seal Spirit Master, though quite outstanding among the younger generation, he’s still not considered a strong one.
Throughout Cangzhou, only those who reach the Dharma Realm are regarded as strong.
Ye Chen was well aware of his own capabilities; now, he could only manage to kill ordinary Heaven-Reaching Realm fighters.
With just this little power, wanting to see the shocking secret the Mad Old Man spoke of... Ye Chen always felt this was an act courting death.
After all, the more you know, the more you bear.
Without the strength to back it up, knowing too much could easily lead to your end! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Yet...
Ye Chen was still piqued with curiosity by the Mad Old Man.
"Elder Qingyi, Master Legs, should I go and see?" Ye Chen sent a message into the Sword Tomb.
Before the two could respond,
the Mad Old Man retorted, "Can’t even make such a trivial decision? Are you a man or not?!"
Ye Chen: "..."
Almost forgot, the Mad Old Man could sense the affairs of the Sword Tomb; last time in that forbidden area of the Flame Desert, the Mad Old Man even threatened Luo Qingyi...
"Whether you go or not, you have to go; you learned the Taiyin Fire Control Technique, so you’re already tied to this karma.
Moreover, your ancient tribal bloodline is also connected to this matter.
Apart from that, the Chaotic Burial Mound Space you carry with you is also inextricably linked to this secret!"
Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, I’ll go down and see!"
The Mad Old Man chuckled, then grabbed Ye Chen’s arm and leaped down abruptly.
"Splash!"
Water splashed.
Ye Chen knew how terrifying the Yellow Springs Water was from Shi Fengchun’s description; later, when he broke the Bridge of Life and Death and saw Su Dongliu fall, there wasn’t even a ripple—Su Dongliu was gone.
But now, protected by the power of the Mad Old Man, Ye Chen wasn’t affected in the least, except feeling the water too yellow; it was no different from ordinary water.
The Mad Old Man said nothing, just dragged Ye Chen as they dived deeper into the lake.
The speed of descent was swift; however, the depth of the Yellow Springs Water far exceeded Ye Chen’s expectations, resembling a bottomless abyss.
In the Sword Tomb.
Master Legs asked, "Is what this Mad Old Man said, true or false?"
Luo Qingyi, with a complex gaze, said, "It should be true; my father indeed once said strange words about the alternation of heaven and earth. However, I didn’t pay it much mind then, given the poor father-daughter relationship."
Master Legs said, "Luo Qingyi, quickly project the outside scene to me; I also want to know what this secret is!"
Luo Qingyi shook her head and said, "The power of that Mad Old Man has even isolated my perception; I can’t see what’s happening outside either."
With these words, Luo Qingyi turned and left.
"Where are you going?"
"Going up once, maybe Uncle Long knows something." Luo Qingyi, filled with doubts herself, intended to head to the tenth layer of the Sword Tomb to find that Dragon Race expert who was a close friend to her father, Luo Jiutian!
......
At this moment.
As Ye Chen was being pulled downwards by the strength of the Mad Old Man, he suddenly showed a few signs of amazement.
Almost at the bottom!
At the bottom of what was a giant pool formed by Yellow Springs Water, appeared a large number of broken palaces...
This had a significant similarity to the scene once projected from the Mad Old Man’s memories.
Judging by these broken palaces, one could deduce the once infinite glory of this place; however, now everything was no more.
"We’re here."
The Mad Old Man softly exclaimed, releasing his grip on Ye Chen’s hand.
"Senior, is this the Yellow Springs Sect ruins?"
The Mad Old Man gazed at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression, "How do you know?"
Ye Chen: "...Senior, you mentioned it above!"
The Mad Old Man slightly nodded and then said, "I have a clone here at Yellow Springs Sect; I’m going to retrieve it. Meanwhile, I need you to do me a favor!"
Ye Chen nodded, so the Mad Old Man finally remembered to ask for his help?
"What do I need to do?"
The Mad Old Man said, "Later, when I retrieve my clone, some troublesome folks might appear. You help fend them off for me."
Ye Chen’s scalp tingled, "Senior, are you saying there are living people in the Yellow Springs Sect ruins?"
With his strength, how could he fend them off?
"Living people? They’ve long perished, only I’m left."
"Then what kind of power might appear?" Ye Chen thought he must make it clear; if it’s beyond him, he can’t agree!
"I don’t know either; just wanted you over just in case."
"If there really is an unexpected situation... what if I can’t stop them?"
The Mad Old Man said, "Use my body to smash them!"
As soon as he uttered these words, the next moment, a light flew out from the Mad Old Man’s forehead.
The Mad Old Man’s body suddenly froze in front of Ye Chen, and that light transformed into a phantom figure of the Mad Old Man.
"I’ll use my divine soul to leave the body, to control the clone left in this ruin. You keep an eye on my physical body."
Ye Chen, "How long will it take?"
"If things go smoothly, very quickly; if not, it shouldn’t take too long either."
"Senior, the protective power you left me can only last for one hour, and most of it is already gone."
"Stay by my body, don’t wander off, nothing will happen."
Ye Chen nodded silently, his expression grave, "Senior, if something happens to you... how can I leave?"
"How could anything happen to me? Trust me; once I retrieve the clone, I will open a passage using the Yellow Springs Water to get you out!" the Mad Old Man’s divine soul body said confidently.
"But..."
"Say one more word, and I’ll slap you! Believe it or not?!"
Ye Chen, frustrated, said, "Senior, take care, please don’t get into any trouble; wishing you safety!"
The Mad Old Man’s divine soul body gave a slight acknowledgment, then a storm of power erupted from him, forming a huge handprint, reaching out to the decayed palace ahead!
"Rumble!"
Those palace fragments, which the Yellow Springs Water couldn’t corrode over countless years, crumbled like decayed wood under the Mad Old Man’s force as his divine soul body dashed out, burrowing into a dug opening.
Ye Chen stood beside the frozen body of the Mad Old Man, nervously concerned.
Recalling when they came to the Celestial Extinction Ancient Tomb, Brother Chun repeatedly reminded him, never to touch the Yellow Springs Water; yet now he was bathing in it...
If Brother Chun knew, his eyes would probably pop out, and his jaw would hit the floor!
After a moment, the protective power given by the Mad Old Man dissipated, and the tense Ye Chen realized that the surrounding Yellow Springs Water truly caused him no harm, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
"Just in case, I should tie the Mad Old Man’s body to mine!"
Decided, Ye Chen immediately took out some special material-made whips and chains from his Storage Ring...
Having looted so many times, his Storage Ring contained all sorts of items!
Ye Chen securely tied the Mad Old Man’s body to his back, regaining a feeling of safety!
"As long as I don’t leave the Mad Old Man’s body, I am safe, and now wherever I am, his body is there too, so I might as well take a look around this Yellow Springs Sect ruins. Maybe I’ll find something good!"
When coming down, Ye Chen was indeed anxious, fearing the more he knew, the quicker he would die.
But now that he’s truly here, he couldn’t resist the curiosity for secrets, naturally unwilling to miss out just like that!
Thus, with the Mad Old Man’s body on his back, Ye Chen began his exploration journey!
