Supreme Sword God

Chapter 886: Chapter 885: Undersea Ruins, Yi’an

“Ye Chen, I’ve given you the item, but there’s something I need to clarify with you as well.”

Fang Cun’s expression was serious. He even stopped calling Ye Chen his junior-nephew, as their relationship wasn’t exactly that of true master and disciple. The topic they were about to discuss was of great importance and had to be treated seriously.

Ye Chen casually said, “If I’m not mistaken, Elder Fang’s Godstone should be related to the leverage in Miao Qunfeng’s hands, right?”

Fang Cun: “…That’s right.

However, it’s not a big issue. Miao Qunfeng has leverage on me, but he doesn’t know exactly what it is.”

Then, Fang Cun recounted the origin of the Godstone.

It turned out that.

Years ago, Fang Cun discovered an underwater ruin by chance.

After much effort, he barely managed to enter the ruin, and soon a large number of Inner Sea experts entered as well.

To ensure his safety, Fang Cun, who only obtained a Godstone from the ruin, immediately retreated from it.

During his retreat, he was seen by Miao Qunfeng.

Ye Chen said, “So, Miao Qunfeng plans to leak this matter to the Inner Sea people?”

Fang Cun: “Correct, he originally planned to usurp my possession, but he’s always been unsure of its nature. Moreover, he’s concerned I might have gained fortuitous encounters and some secret weapons, so he’s always probing without daring to act rashly.

If I’m not mistaken, this time, he plans to inform the people from the Martial Alliance to pave the way for his grandson, Miao Chao.”

Earlier, I had a chat with Wu Meng and gathered some information from him. The envoy leading the examination from the Martial Alliance is none other than someone I’ve mentioned to you before—the three-path Qi Cultivator, Liu Mubai.”

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered.

The person from the Martial Alliance responsible for the examination turned out to be his legitimate senior uncle…

What a coincidence.

Miao Qunfeng wants to kill Fang Cun, who has been kind to him, and also wants to kill me… But the force he’s trying to leverage is the Great Zhou Dynasty’s Lingwu unifier, Liu Mubai…

Miao Qunfeng is destined for a disastrous end.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen pondered and said, “Liu Mubai holds quite a high position in the Martial Alliance, huh?”

This isn’t just any ordinary envoy.

He’s the person in charge of the envoys.

Far superior to the likes of Wu Meng and Hu Fei from the Body Alliance.

My uncle is impressive!

Fang Cun said, “Liu Mubai’s rise has been swift. Of course, the main reason is that Liu Mubai and the daughter of the Martial Alliance’s leader have mutual feelings.”

Ye Chen: “…”

So, Uncle lives off a woman.

If the master finds out, would he beat Uncle?

Bringing his thoughts back, Ye Chen felt at ease.

Previously, he always felt he had no bigshot backing in the Celestial Burial Sea.

Now it’s different. Uncle Liu Mubai has achieved a lot living off a woman.

“Elder Fang, rest assured that Miao Qunfeng’s attempt to use the Martial Alliance against you, I’ll definitely settle this!” Ye Chen said with great confidence.

Fang Cun said, “You don’t need to worry about this matter for now. Even Liu Mubai can’t destroy my Island No. 99 in one move. I’ll come up with a way to handle it. Your main focus should be entering the Inner Sea and making a name for yourself!”

Ye Chen nodded and said, “By the way, how can the Godstone be opened?”

Fang Cun: “The method to open a Godstone is only circulated in the Inner Sea; it’s impossible to open it outside.”

“Okay, got it.”

Moments later, Fang Cun departed.

Ye Chen took out the Godstone again.

Earlier, he had used the Martial Arts Celestial Eye to scrutinize it closely. He could confirm there was something good inside the Godstone, but he couldn’t discern what it was.

“Elder Qingyi, Master Legs, can you handle this stone?” Ye Chen tossed the Godstone into the Sword Tomb and communicated inside.

Soon, Master Legs’ response came: “Seventy percent certainty.”

Ye Chen: “Master Legs, I’ll trouble you then.”

It’s best if he could master the process of opening Godstones himself. After all, if he found some good stuff in the future and always had to rely on others to open it, it would spread quickly.

“Don’t thank me yet. This stone is tainted with Divine Blood. Once the stone is opened, the Divine Blood will erupt with destructive power.

So, during the process of opening the stone, large quantities of source stones containing untouched heaven-and-earth energy are needed to maintain stability.”

As Master Legs’ voice entered Ye Chen’s mind, Ye Chen immediately and without hesitation threw his Storage Ring into the Sword Tomb.

“Master Legs, use it first. If it’s not enough, let Zizi provide more.”

Little Phoenix is quite wealthy.

She always liked to loot battlefields after each fight.

Ye Chen never minded it before.

Perfect, now it’s needed, echoing that saying.

Fatten them up before killing.

After arranging everything for opening the Godstone, a sound transmitted through the restriction at Ye Chen’s residence on Island No. 1, reaching his ears.

Ye Chen thought for a moment and lifted the restriction at his residence.

Outside the courtyard gate.

A handsome man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes saw Ye Chen come out and cupped his hands with a smile, “Brother Ye, sorry for the unsolicited visit. I hope you can forgive me.”

Ye Chen: “And you are?”

The man smiled, “From Island No. 1, Yi’an.”

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered. On the way to Island No. 1 with Fang Cun, Yi’an’s name had been mentioned.

In this outer sea region, among the younger generation, there was a ranking of the top ten talents.

Yi’an ranked third, and he was also a descendant of one of the Vice Island Masters of Island No. 1.

From his impression, that woman named Hong Mei was also one of the so-called top ten talents of the outer sea.

“So it is Brother Yi, I’ve heard much about you,” Ye Chen said politely.

Yi’an said, “Brother Ye, you flatter me.”

While speaking, Yi’an revealed a jade bottle in his hand and handed it to Ye Chen: “This is the Clear Wind Rejuvenation Pill from our Island No. 1. It has a good effect on injuries caused by burning one’s core essence.”

Ye Chen shook his head: “I’ve heard of the reputation of the Clear Wind Rejuvenation Pill. It’s truly valuable. I can’t accept it without merit. I appreciate Brother Yi’s goodwill, but I cannot take it.”

Whether the pill was famous or not… Ye Chen was purely making it up, having heard of it for the first time. Yet its good effect on core essence injuries suggested it was indeed a relatively high-grade pill.

Yi’an said, “To be honest, Brother Ye, I do have something to ask for your help.”

Ye Chen’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “Brother Yi, a genius of Island No. 1, what could you possibly need from a mere Heaven-Reaching Realm small fry like me?”

Yi’an said, “I would like Brother Ye to help me examine a stone.”

“A Godstone?”

Yi’an said, “Precisely so.”

Having just dealt with a Godstone, Ye Chen found himself quite interested in the matter.

Moreover, Fang Cun had mentioned that Yi’an from Island No. 1 was a gentleman worthy of friendship.

Ye Chen said, “Since there’s a way I can be of service to Brother Yi, I certainly won’t refuse. However… I have heard of Godstones but never dealt with one personally, so I may not really be of much help. I hope Brother Yi is mentally prepared for this to avoid disappointment later.”

Yi’an gave a faint smile and said, “Brother Ye, your willingness to take a look is enough for me to feel grateful. As for the Godstone, it won’t be examined until tomorrow.

Just in time for you, Brother Ye, to use the Clear Wind Rejuvenation Pill and adjust your condition.”

Saying this, Yi’an handed over the pill to Ye Chen once more.

This time, Ye Chen directly accepted the pill.

Yi’an said, “Brother Ye, I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll come by tomorrow to invite you to appraise the stone.”
