Supreme Sword God

Chapter 885: Chapter 884: Gift

The divine stone is evidently a rare treasure unique to the Celestial Burial Sea.

The pupil technique can distinguish divine stones.

Ye Chen realized that this might be his opportunity to establish a foothold in the Celestial Burial Sea in a short time.

First, understand it before taking action!

Fang Cun nodded and said, “The divine stone is a stone that has been tainted with divine blood.

It is said that the Celestial Burial Sea is connected to an ancient battlefield, where a fierce battle involving gods once took place.

That ancient battlefield is currently in a state of continuous collapse.

The fragments inside drifted out.

These fragments are referred to as divine stones.

Some divine stones still preserve the complete divine blood.

Some contain the inheritance of divine cultivation techniques and martial skills.

Others are enveloped with divine weapons, divine pills, etc…

Even a powerful being at the Emperor Realm cannot probe a divine stone without a pupil technique.

And opening a divine stone requires a great cost.

In the Celestial Burial Sea, no one has enough resources to casually open divine stones.

Thus, those who master pupil techniques hold a high status in the Celestial Burial Sea.”

Upon hearing Fang Cun’s explanation, Ye Chen roughly understood.

Those who master pupil techniques can initially filter out divine stones without opportunity, increasing the chances of extracting an opportunity from the stones.

Ye Chen said, “Uncle, are divine stones distributed only in the inner sea?”

Fang Cun shook his head and said, “Both the inner sea and outer sea have divine stones.

However, there are more divine stones in the inner sea, and the probability of gaining opportunities from them is much higher there than in the outer sea.

Generally, those from the inner sea are almost disdainful of the divine stones appearing in the outer sea.”

Having said that,

Fang Cun paused for a moment, his eyes flickering, then continued, “Junior Ye, I have a divine stone here, want to give it a try?”

Ye Chen immediately said, “Sure!”

Give it a try.

Let’s see how effective the Martial Arts Celestial Eye is in probing divine stones!

Fang Cun moved his mind, took out a finely crafted rectangular box that isolates aura from the Storage Ring, his hands continuously making seals to lift the restrictions inside the box.

After more than ten breaths of time passed.

Only then did Fang Cun open the box.

Inside the box.

What entered Ye Chen’s sight was a brown stone the size of a fist.

It looked unremarkable, just like the stones that could be picked up anywhere outside.

“Is this the divine stone?”

Ye Chen looked surprised, then reached out and took the divine stone in his palm.

“Hmm?”

“So heavy!”

This ordinary-looking stone weighed at least a thousand pounds.

Of course.

A weight of a thousand pounds was nothing to Ye Chen.

Moreover, holding the divine stone gave him an extremely unique tactile sensation, as if holding a piece of metal.

“Observation like this is useless, you must use the pupil technique.” Fang Cun reminded.

Ye Chen nodded and then activated his pupil power, unleashing the ability of the Martial Arts Celestial Eye. There was a golden light flickering deep in his eyes, with a profound gaze carrying the capability to see through all obstacles.

Under the observation of the Martial Arts Celestial Eye, a faint phantom appeared on the surface of the divine stone.

Beside him.

Fang Cun stared at Ye Chen with a complex expression. Although he couldn’t figure out which type of pupil technique Ye Chen possessed, looking into Ye Chen’s eyes gave him a vague sense of apprehension.

……

On Island No.1, the residence of Miao Qunfeng and his grandson Miao Chao.

With the help of Miao Qunfeng’s power, Miao Chao’s external injuries have completely healed.

“Grandpa, I…” Miao Chao’s expression was gloomy, he clenched his fists, feeling very discouraged.

He couldn’t defeat Ye Chen previously.

Even after forming his Dharma image, he still couldn’t win against Ye Chen, which dealt a critical blow to Miao Chao’s confidence.

Miao Qunfeng spoke sternly, “The path of cultivation is long and winding, what do these minor setbacks count as? If you can’t pick yourself up from this, how will you journey ahead?”

Miao Chao remained silent, not saying a word.

Miao Qunfeng sighed and said, “Ye Chen and Fang Cun won’t be complacent for long. The people from the Inner Sea Sports Alliance have already arrived, I believe the Martial Alliance and Spirit Alliance people will soon follow.

Once the Martial Alliance envoy arrives, I will immediately seek an audience with Liu Mubai. At that time, it will be the end for Fang Cun and Ye Chen!”

The disheartened Miao Chao immediately raised his head, excitement flashing in his eyes, and said, “Grandpa, what leverage do you have against Fang Cun?”

“I might as well tell you now.” Miao Qunfeng said, “Several years ago, a large number of powerful beings from the Inner Sea appeared in the outer sea, exploring an underwater relic.

Back then, I happened to be nearby and discovered Fang Cun sneakily slipping out from that relic.

I suspect Fang Cun snuck into the relic to steal something back then.

These past few years, I’ve been indirectly probing, and judging from some of Fang Cun’s reactions, I’ve basically confirmed my suspicion was true.

Fang Cun is audacious enough to lay hands on a relic valued by a group of big shots from the Inner Sea, and he might have even stolen some treasures. If this news gets out, Fang Cun will definitely die.”

Miao Chao quickly said, “Grandpa, in that case, why not just tell Hu Fei from the Sports Alliance about it? I’m sure Hu Fei would take action regardless of the consequences for what Fang Cun has.”

Miao Qunfeng cast Miao Chao a look filled with frustration.

How could he have such a foolish descendant?

“Revealing this information to one faction is a pledge of allegiance, but telling multiple factions is courting death.”

Miao Qunfeng said earnestly, “If multiple Inner Sea factions start fighting because of this, and at that time, if any side loses people and vents their anger on us, it would be disastrous!

I’ve already dropped some hints to Liu Mubai, and I must not recklessly spread this information further.

Moreover.

Among the current Three Alliances envoys, Liu Mubai’s potential is the greatest.

The main reason still is because of you.

If I used this information to trade with the Spirit Alliance or Sports Alliance, it would be meaningless. If you join either the Sports Alliance or Spirit Alliance, you’d better honestly stay in the outer sea!”

With this explanation, Miao Chao finally understood.

Miao Qunfeng sighed with relief.

If he still didn’t get it, he really feared he couldn’t resist smacking Miao Chao.

“You’ve no need to worry about Fang Cun and Ye Chen’s matter. I’ll take care of it. While the assessment hasn’t started yet, spend more time with that girl called Hong Mei.”

“Is there something special about Hong Mei?” Miao Chao asked curiously.

Miao Qunfeng said, “She has already opened her eyes, possessing the divine ability of insightful vision.

Hong Mei is certainly someone who can enter the inner sea. Although this girl is extremely cold, I have some connections with her elders, and I’ve had a word with her; she will look after you.”

……

In the courtyard where Ye Chen and Fang Cun were located.

Ye Chen withdrew the Martial Arts Celestial Eye and placed the divine stone back in the box, saying, “Inside this divine stone…”

Before Ye Chen could finish, Fang Cun interjected, “This divine stone is yours, there’s no need to tell me what’s inside.”

Ye Chen: “Uncle, this is too precious…”

Fang Cun showed a calm smile and said, “This is my stake.”

He had an open and straightforward personality, expressing himself directly without any roundabout way.

He is currently placing his bet on Ye Chen, wagering that Ye Chen will bring great benefits to Island No. 99 in the future.

Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed, and he no longer declined, accepting the box containing the divine stone, saying, “I will strive to ensure your bet won’t be in vain!”
