Supreme Sword God

Chapter 515: Chapter 514: Qi Family Adopts a Son, Comprehending the Secret Technique!

Leaving the Celestial Soldier Pavilion.

Ye Chen went directly with the Mu Family father and son to the Mu Mansion.

They still needed to wait two more days, and going back and forth to the True Martial Hall was quite time-consuming, so he decided to stay at the Mu Mansion.

In a luxurious training room arranged by the Mu Mansion.

Ye Chen sat cross-legged, immersing his mind into the Origin World.

Taking the Jinghong Sword from the Celestial Soldier Pavilion in two days must be guaranteed to be foolproof.

This was also the reason why Ye Chen immediately agreed when Liu Hong mentioned it.

If he had absolute confidence, Ye Chen could simply reveal his Celestial Master Chen identity, and surely the Celestial Soldier Pavilion would be willing to make this exception and let him retrieve the sword early.

However, Ye Chen... actually wasn’t very confident!

The Sword Control Celestial Scripture could subdue sword spirits, but the Jinghong Sword had no sword spirit, only extreme sharpness!

Ye Chen couldn’t guarantee that his sword essence would certainly be able to harness the sharpness of the Jinghong Sword.

After all, even though no Heaven-Reaching Realm expert had taken the sword over the years, many talents at the peak of the Unity Realm must have tried.

Ye Chen was aware that his current strength could only rank about thirty on the Qingyun List and still couldn’t overpower all the martial artists in the Unity Realm of Cangzhou!

Therefore.

In these two days, he must uncover some of the Soldier Character Secret’s power!

As Ye Chen’s mind, transformed into his image in the Origin World, began practicing the original true explanation, the Soldier Secret Mark flew to his side, circling around him.

Rays of light fell from the Soldier Secret Mark onto Ye Chen’s body.

His movements were sometimes slow, sometimes fast, with a trace of enlightenment flowing in his mind.

......

In a room in the Qi Family’s backyard.

Qi Shengjing’s face looked extremely unsightly.

”Father...”

Qi Yu, who had been lying in bed unconscious, now woke up and weakly said, ”Ye Chen has humiliated me time and again. Father, you cannot let him off...

It was Ye Chen who killed my brother!

The position of the Qi Family patriarch was also lost because of Ye Chen.

I won’t be content until Ye Chen dies!”

Qi Shengjing took a deep breath and said, ”Yu’Er, focus on healing. I’ll take care of the matter with Ye Chen.”

After saying this, Qi Shengjing turned around and left the room.

Outside the room, a young man with a hint of a sinister aura in his expression immediately bowed when he saw Qi Shengjing coming out.

Qi Shengjing looked at the young man and said, ”From now on, you will be my adopted son with the name Qi Changfeng. If you can defeat Ye Chen and thwart his momentum, the Qi Family will fully support your future cultivation!

Moreover, if you ever manage to kill Ye Chen, I will go against all opposition to establish you as the Young Master of the Qi Family!”

Though he wasn’t the patriarch of the Qi Family anymore, the truth was that the Qi Family was still under his control.

It had always been his one-man rule. The reason he relinquished the patriarch position was that his son made an unforgivable mistake while executing a mission for the True Martial Hall, and he had no choice but to quell their anger.

The young man with the sinister aura immediately kneeled on the ground and said, ”Rest assured, adoptive father, I will handle the matter with Ye Chen perfectly and fight to regain the Qi Family’s honor!

Moreover, there’s no need to wait for the Cyan Cloud Banquet. Two days from now will offer an opportunity.”

Qi Shengjing asked, ”Two days from now?”

The young man, newly named Qi Changfeng, immediately replied, ”While adoptive father has been healing Yu’Er, you might not be aware that today, Ye Chen went to the Celestial Soldier Pavilion to request the Jinghong Sword.

Recently, many have gone to the Celestial Soldier Pavilion for the Jinghong Sword, so they have decided to arrange a unified retrieval in two days.

I also practice Sword Dao and am quite interested in the Jinghong Sword of the Celestial Soldier Pavilion, so I plan to go as well.

At that time, I’ll take the chance to deal with Ye Chen as a preliminary settlement and interest.

On the Cyan Cloud Banquet day, I’ll challenge Ye Chen again.

If he dares, I’ll engage him in a life-and-death duel at the Cyan Cloud Banquet!

If he doesn’t dare, I’ll find another way to eliminate him later!”

A cold gleam flashed in Qi Shengjing’s eyes, and he said, ”Fine, see to it yourself. As long as you can achieve it, my promises will be fulfilled!”

......

The two days flew by quickly.

In Ye Chen’s Origin World, the Soldier Secret Mark had become much more ethereal.

Extracting his mind from the Origin World, he slowly opened his eyes.

With a thought.

A wisp of sword essence shot out from his body, transforming into the shape of a sword.

Though it was merely a wisp of sword essence, it felt incredibly real.

”I’ve finally begun to grasp the threshold of the Soldier Character Secret. Using it to drive my sword essence has greatly enhanced its sharpness.”

Ye Chen whispered, and the sword formed from the wisp of sword essence dissipated. With a swish, the Celestial Mark Sword was drawn.

”Buzz!”

The clear sword sound resonated in the training room. Using the Soldier Character Secret to drive the sword essence into the Celestial Mark Sword significantly amplified it. He originally believed his bond with the Lifebound Celestial Mark Sword was already extremely close, yet with the addition of the Soldier Character Secret, the sense of oneness with the sword became even more intense!

”No wonder it’s the core secret of the Original Celestial Eight Great Families. Even with just an initial glimpse, I’ve gained such insight. What further changes would come with a complete understanding of this secret technique?”

Ye Chen’s heart was filled with anticipation and hope!

He walked out from the Mu Mansion’s training room.

Only to find Su Yun and Grandmaster Mu Yi standing outside, waiting for him.

”Hall Master Su, what brings you here as well?” Ye Chen asked.

”Since you are a part of our Bright Hall, I ought to keep an eye on you. I can’t always rely solely on the Mu Mansion, can I?” Su Yun replied.

Mu Yi smiled and said, ”In terms of providing assurance for Young Master Ye, the Mu Mansion won’t be inferior to the Bright Hall.”

Su Yun looked at Mu Yi and said, ”With Grandmaster Mu’s esteemed stature, I naturally have no worries about anything happening to Ye Chen while he’s here. However, I was instructed by the Hall Master to ensure Ye Chen’s safety, so I must remain vigilant.”

Ye Chen was a member of the True Martial Hall and couldn’t constantly be with others; otherwise, the ties with the True Martial Hall would gradually weaken, which was what worried Su Yun.

As for mentioning Shi Fengchun’s instructions, that was just an excuse. Without bringing up Shi Fengchun, Su Yun felt less confident in front of Mu Yi!

Ye Chen roughly guessed Su Yun’s thoughts but didn’t say much, ”Grandmaster Mu, Hall Master Su, today is the Celestial Soldier Pavilion’s scheduled sword retrieval day. Let’s depart.”

Su Yun nodded.

Mu Yi then brought his son Mu Baoming along, seizing any opportunity to let Mu Baoming engage with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen and Su Yun shared one carriage, while Mu Yi and Mu Baoming rode in another, heading towards the Celestial Soldier Pavilion.

Inside the carriage.

Su Yun looked at Ye Chen and said, ”Qi Shengjing of the Qi Family recently adopted a son named Qi Changfeng. His origins are unclear, but I hear his strength is quite formidable. You should be wary.

Besides Qi Changfeng, this Cyan Cloud Banquet will feature many new talents not previously listed on the Qingyun List, each mysteriously formidable. If you encounter them, remain cautious.”

Ye Chen was somewhat aware of these matters.

The Cangzhou Qingyun List can’t fully represent the true level of the younger generation in Cangzhou.

Because many forces like to cultivate heirs in secret.

The main reason for this practice is to protect their heirs. After all, in the cultivation realm, killings are constant, and grudges are as tangled as messy threads. Many forces fear their heirs might face unforeseen disaster before they mature.

However, due to the appearance of the Celestial Extinction Ancient Tomb, all forces are paying immense attention, so they’ll bring out the previously hidden seed candidates!

Thus.

The appearance of the Celestial Extinction Ancient Tomb is the key to opening the grand scene in Cangzhou.

This Cyan Cloud Banquet will be more challenging and thrilling than any previous year!

”Please rest assured, Hall Master Su, I’ve prepared thoroughly. Regardless of the changing surroundings, I’ll keep pressing forward with unwavering determination!”

As Ye Chen spoke, his demeanor was calm, yet Su Yun could feel an incredibly high fighting spirit emanating from him!
