Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 1057: Chapter 1056: [Be the One Who Turns the Tide?]

A monk at the Buddhist Emperor Realm stayed above the Sun Star for a day and a night. Although he didn’t enter the core of the Sun Star, he was blocked by a very powerful Formation. It was speculated to have been set by the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor during his Nirvana Rebirth. Within this powerful Formation, there must be something very important hidden. Otherwise, the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor wouldn’t have consumed himself to establish a Formation that even a peerless figure at the Emperor Realm would find hard to break.

Ten Golden Crow Eggs and a silhouette resembling a tree stood at the center of the Sun Star. This was all the monk at the Buddhist Emperor Realm saw above the Sun Star. According to his guess, these ten Golden Crow Eggs should be the progeny left by the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor. They haven’t been born yet. It seems the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor not only foresaw the scenery of this Martial Arts World billions of years later and left a backup plan for himself, but also sealed his ten children, waiting to be born billions of years later to do something together with him. Truly, a very scheming and patient bird. As for the tree silhouette at the center of the Sun Star, it shocked the monk at the Buddhist Emperor Realm. It might very well be the legendary ”Fusang Divine Tree.”

The Fusang Divine Tree, a legendary Immortal Tree, grows above the Immortal World. The Golden Crow Clan has lived around the Fusang Immortal Tree for generations. It is a kind of Fire Spirit Wood, possessing strong and incredible mysterious power. The Golden Crow perches on the Fusang Divine Tree, much like the Phoenix resides on Wutong Wood. The Phoenix is a legendary Immortal Bird, unseen by anyone, while the Golden Crow has appeared in this Martial Arts World. Is the Golden Crow truly an Immortal Bird? No one can prove it.

”Master, if that’s the case, the Golden Crow Clan has a lot of backup plans left. I’m afraid in the future...” Ye Tianchen said with some concern.

”The feud between the Golden Crow Clan and the Buddhist Sect, and with the Human Clan, has a long history and will eventually need resolving. I just hope there won’t be too many casualties!” The monk at the Buddhist Emperor Realm also spoke with a worried expression.

Ye Tianchen was taken aback. He never expected that besides leaving an egg from the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor’s Nirvana Rebirth to be born after billions of years, the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor had left ten eggs of his own progeny, placed right at the center of the Sun Star, under the legendary Fusang Divine Tree. What is the purpose of this? Does he also intend for his children to be born billions of years later to compete with him in the grand path? If this is the case, the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor is indeed a very calculated and intelligent person. If such a person is truly born, it would be a great disaster for the Buddhist Sect and the Human Clan, not to mention the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor himself. Even the ten Golden Crow progeny would be formidable individuals. At that time, they would indeed be very difficult to handle.

”Master, is there any way to remove the threat the Golden Crow Clan poses to the Human Clan?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.

The monk at the Buddhist Emperor Realm looked at Ye Tianchen and couldn’t help but smile slightly, saying, ”The person capable of turning the tide is far away yet close at hand!”

”Master, you mean...” Ye Tianchen hesitated and said.

”That’s right, it’s you!” the monk at the Buddhist Emperor Realm said firmly.

After hearing the monk at the Buddhist Emperor Realm’s firm words, Ye Tianchen was indeed stunned. He never expected that the person mentioned by the monk as capable of turning the tide would be himself. But can he do it? Can he accomplish it? Ye Tianchen truly didn’t know, nor did he have that absolute confidence. How powerful is the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor? Falling into this world with the Sun Star, it’s feared that his Cultivation Realm surpasses the Emperor Realm. Throughout history, very few individuals in the Martial Arts World have reached above the Emperor Realm, less than three. They are the true rulers of this world, defying the heavens and controlling life and death. Achieving the Emperor Realm is already incredibly difficult; reaching the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor’s cultivation is even more unattainable. Wanting to surpass him might be a dream one doesn’t dare to dream, not to mention the ten progeny left by the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor. Born under the Sun Star and Fusang Divine Tree, nourished by the Sun Divine Fire and protected by the Fusang Divine Tree’s power, they are inherently formidable once born. Defeating these ten progeny is already very challenging, let alone confronting the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor himself.

”What? Do you lack confidence? Did I misjudge you?” The monk at the Buddhist Emperor Realm saw Ye Tianchen’s hesitance and asked.

”Master, I understand your meaning. I also want to prevent the Golden Crow Clan from attacking the Buddhist Sect and Human Clan in the future. But with my current Cultivation Realm, it’s impossible to achieve that, and breaking through to a higher realm in such a short time is easier said than done.” Ye Tianchen wasn’t discouraged or fearful; he was stating a fact.

”Indeed, the ten progeny of the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor are not ordinary. Once born, they could revive the entire Golden Crow Clan and sweep across the world. As for the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor, even I fear I am not his match. Your understanding proves your mind is still clear, and it also demonstrates you have enough courage to undertake this task.” The monk at the Buddhist Emperor Realm nodded.

Sometimes, when faced with a powerful enemy with an immense disparity in strength, one must confront it. Only by acknowledging the power gap can one think of a way to defeat the enemy, especially the stronger ones. If you don’t acknowledge your differences and recklessly charge, there’s only one result: complete annihilation.

”I have the courage and confidence, but the gap in strength...” Ye Tianchen hadn’t finished his words when the monk at the Buddhist Emperor Realm interrupted him.

The monk at the Buddhist Emperor Realm directly interrupted Ye Tianchen’s words, speaking in a very affirmative tone, ”Having courage and confidence is enough. If your power is insufficient and your cultivation is not high, you can cultivate. But not everyone has such courage and confidence. The most important thing for a Martial Artist is not how powerful their cultivation is, but the confidence to defeat a strong enemy and that this confidence always exists, supporting you in overcoming the enemy, never admitting defeat!”

Ye Tianchen was stunned, involuntarily repeating the monk’s words, ”Never admit defeat, only I am the strongest!”

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen seemed to be enlightened, realizing that the monk at the Emperor Realm was right. Ye Tianchen had always been fearless, going against the heavens, recognizing only reason, not humans. These principles and personality traits were the driving force behind his fearless advance. No matter how powerful the enemy, no matter how formidable the opponent, Ye Tianchen would never sit and wait for death or stop moving forward. Isn’t this what he had always insisted on? Why had he forgotten it now? Or was he intimidated by the Golden Crow Clan’s power, or the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor’s might?

”Senior, I understand. No matter what happens in the future, no matter how strong the Golden Crow Ancestor is, no matter how arrogant his ten progeny are, as long as they dare to strike against the Buddhist Sect and Human Clan to commit extinction, I will cut them down!” Ye Tianchen said resolutely.

”Good, your determination proves I did not misjudge you, and I believe you can certainly achieve it. Additionally, I want to tell you that the Eighteen Golden Arhat Array has mysterious power in sealing the Golden Crow Clan’s strong individuals. If you encounter them in future battles and cannot Shock Kill them, you can seal them with this, waiting for the day you become strong!” The monk at the Buddhist Emperor Realm looked at Ye Tianchen and said.

”Thank you, Master!” Ye Tianchen said earnestly.

”Well, my time is almost up. This wisp of Divine Thought has been left for millions of years, and now it’s about time to be over. This time, I shall once again reinforce the seal on the Sealing Demon Cliff. I hope I didn’t misjudge you, for you have the potential to defy the heavens, and the future Martial Arts World will be ruled by you...”

After the monk at the Buddhist Emperor Realm finished speaking, he disappeared from Ye Tianchen’s mind. When Ye Tianchen opened his eyes, he found that the seal on the ”Sealing Demon Cliff” had once again been reinforced, becoming indestructible. The power of the monk at the Buddhist Emperor Realm was truly formidable, beyond what he could compare to now. As for the Golden Crow Egg on the ”Sealing Demon Cliff,” it will be born in a hundred thousand years. Ye Tianchen doesn’t know if he will see that day, or even live until that day. For a Martial Artist, living for ten thousand years without any secret technique or Divine Medicine is already quite remarkable. A hundred thousand years—can Ye Tianchen live that long?

”For a Martial Artist to attain longevity, one must raise their Cultivation Realm higher and master more things. Only by reaching a peerless cultivation at the Emperor Realm can one obtain Divine Medicine and live another lifetime. No matter what, I must accomplish this...” Ye Tianchen muttered to himself.

That night, Ye Tianchen left the Sealing Demon Cliff with Master Fang Yi. After learning more, Ye Tianchen’s heart was unsettled. On the way back to Desolate Stone Village, he was pondering, contemplating what he should do in future years and what goals to aim for. (To be continued.
