Supreme Sword God

Chapter 879: Chapter 878: Nine Heavenly Burial Coffins!

Island No. 99 was abuzz with discussion due to Ye Chen.

After all, Miao Chao from Island No. 10 was on the verge of entering the Dharma Realm, wielding the sacred sword with remarkable combat power.

Against Miao Chao, Yan Lang from Island No. 99 stood no chance.

Yet Ye Chen, with just a Grotto Heaven and a Heaven-Reaching Realm power of about five to six levels, defeated Miao Chao, proving that Ye Chen’s talent was undeniably strong.

Especially that sword array composed of twenty-four supreme Dao Swords, it elicited both envy and admiration from everyone!

But regarding all this chatter.

Ye Chen paid no attention.

Was this worth being shocked?

The fusion of Spirit and Martial was not even used.

The sword array consisted of thirty-six supreme Dao Swords, only twenty-four have been shown so far.

Moreover, the Kunpeng’s true intent, the Thunder Qilin’s true intent, and various powerful techniques based on the fusion of Spirit and Martial were still left unused.

Now…

I just want to keep a low profile temporarily.

……

Celestial Burial Sea, Outer Sea No. 10 Island.

Having lost the sacred sword, Miao Chao was furious,

“Grandpa, I’m unwilling!” Miao Chao gritted his teeth, fists clenched, and said, “That brat named Ye Chen humiliated me and took my sacred sword; this debt must be settled thoroughly!”

“Chao’er, calm down first.”

The Island Master of No. 10 Island frowned and said, “Indeed, we must settle this debt; the sacred sword is the top weapon of our island, and I gave it to you intending to use its edge to gather the Dharma, increasing the chances of passing the Inner Sea examination.

As a result, the sacred sword ended up in the hands of Ye Chen, that brat.

If this news spreads, our island’s reputation will be completely lost!”

Miao Chao said, “Grandpa, why don’t we send troops immediately to launch an attack on Island No. 99? With their fragile strength, they cannot possibly resist.

Then, not only can we retrieve the sacred sword, but Fang Yu, that little wench, will still be mine. Our island can also use this opportunity to establish power!”

“Chao’er, your mentality still lacks maturity; to achieve great things, one must look at the broader picture and learn to make timely judgments!” the elder sighed and said, “If attacking Island No. 99 was truly viable, I would not just take you over.

Fang Cun might be useless, but he does have some connections.

If we attack, it might just spark widespread turmoil.

Now with the Inner Sea examination approaching, they will not allow any disarray in the Outer Sea; if we provoke the Inner Sea Envoy, it will cause a major problem.

With just a word from the Inner Sea Envoy, our Island No. 10 would lose every opportunity.”

Miao Chao said, “Grandpa, then…”

Before Miao Chao could finish, the elder waved his hand, interrupting him and said, “It’s evident that Ye Chen appeared now aiming for the Inner Sea examination; once he participates, there are plenty of ways to handle him.”

Miao Chao’s eyes glinted, “But what if Ye Chen doesn’t take part in the examination?”

The elder’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment, “If he skips the examination, then after it’s over and the Inner Sea Envoy leaves, we’ll have fewer worries and can launch an attack on Island No. 99.

If you pass the examination, wanting a Heaven-Reaching Realm brat dead in the Outer Sea would be no problem.”

Miao Chao said, “…Grandpa… without the sacred sword’s edge assisting me, gathering the Dharma in a short period is exceedingly difficult; even in the Dharma Realm, the chance to pass the examination is minimal, let alone in my case…”

The elder’s look of disappointment intensified.

If it weren’t for losing all his sons and having only this grandson, he would have slapped him long ago.

“Chao’er, you still have a seventy percent chance in this Inner Sea examination!”

“Grandpa, what do you mean?”

The elder replied, “I heard some news; among the Inner Sea envoys in charge of the examination, one is Liu Mubai!”

Miao Chao’s eyes sparkled, “The Martial Alliance’s Liu Mubai?”

“That’s right,” the elder said, “This Liu Mubai excels in multiple paths, formidable in skills, now the erstwhile son-in-law of the Martial Alliance’s leader, with substantial influence.

And when I previously handled affairs in the Inner Sea, I developed some rapport with Liu Mubai, so when I contact him privately, it won’t be difficult to get some leniency.”

Miao Chao grew more excited, “Grandpa, with Liu Mubai’s backing, I will surely thrive upon joining the Martial Alliance.”

The elder sighed.

Liu Mubai might help his grandson pass the examination, but in the Martial Alliance, he won’t continue supporting Miao Chao.

After all.

The assets of No. 10 Island could only afford Liu Mubai’s care during the examination.

The elder didn’t voice this.

Alright, he decided not to dampen his grandson’s spirits!

Anyway, passing the examination and joining the Martial Alliance would already be good enough.

……

In the Inner Sea, deep within an island enveloped by the Celestial Dao Cage.

White-haired Yun Ying was trapped in this place.

A monk wearing a large string of Buddhist beads around his neck sped over.

“Miss!”

The monk stood outside the Celestial Dao Cage, hands clasped in prayer.

This person was none other than the Battling Monk who once went to Cangzhou to protect Ye Chen!

Yun Ying said, “Did you break through?”

The Battling Monk nodded, “I broke through two months ago, though some issues delayed me from coming sooner.”

“What issues?”

“Young master killed Yun Feiyang in the Eastern Region and slew many Reincarnators.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Ying was greatly shaken and asked anxiously, “How is Chen’Er now? The primitive heavens and Reincarnation Divine Palace’s insane revenge… My child must be in dire straits…”

The Battling Monk said, “Miss, rest assured, I was in Cangzhou, and though I couldn’t find young master, I can confirm he is very safe now, as he is secluded in the True Martial Hall Main Hall.”

“Lingxiao from the True Martial Hall Main Hall is formidable, and Grand Elder Feng Wuya from the Main Hall is even more profound; but I am still worried…” Yun Ying remained silent for a moment before continuing, “For now, Chen’Er is safe, but we must prepare.

Battling Monk, mobilize our forces from the Inner Sea, and when the time is right, leave the Inner Sea with them and head to the Eastern Region to protect my child.

I, Yun Ying, do not have long to live, but I must pave a way for my child in my final moments!”

The Battling Monk nodded and said, “Miss, you have treated us with great kindness, and we shall do our utmost to ensure young master’s safety.

Miss, do not give up yet, a major event has occurred recently in the Inner Sea—the appearance of the Ninth Funerary Coffin.

With all nine present, we might hope to break the Celestial Dao Cage and welcome Miss out!”

The corners of Yun Ying’s mouth curled into a bitter smile, “The rumors about the Heaven-Burying Coffin are uncertain, and even if they break the Celestial Dao Cage, I won’t live much longer; do not waste efforts on the coffins.”

……

Meanwhile.

Above a very unique area in the Inner Sea, eight dark crimson coffins floated.

Each coffin emanated an incredibly terrifying aura.

All auras interconnected, isolating everything!

“Buzz!”

Suddenly.

The area trembled, and another dark crimson coffin slowly floated in.

The eight coffins in place vibrated together, seemingly welcoming the Ninth Coffin’s appearance.

The Ninth Coffin moved alongside the eight coffins, but its aura was incompatible with theirs.

“Boom boom boom!”

From the eight coffins, terrifying roars erupted, signifying strong wills in anger.

“I can return to the epochal destiny, but… with conditions; in due time, I want you to first join me in confronting the Heavenly Dao.” The Ninth Coffin’s calm voice emerged.

“Unacceptable!”

“Nonsense!”

“The epochal destiny is intertwined; a single misstep could unravel everything.”

“If you don’t agree, I shall leave; then, the realization of your epochal destiny becomes even less probable.” The will from the Ninth Coffin said quietly.

“What is the matter with you? Returning late is one thing, but ignoring the grand layout upon return; do not forget your identity!”

“My identity?” The Ninth Coffin’s voice was heavy with complex emotion: “My identity will never change!”
