The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2568: Chapter 2542: Crisis (Part 4)

As daunting as the Divine Devil Pond might be, true disciples and some highly talented inner sect disciples are still capable of withstanding the energy of the Outer Pond. Although each cleansing requires an extended period to digest the spiritual energy, they nonetheless make regular visits.

But what about the Seven Star Refining God Pavilion?

Even the heaven-defying true disciples and inner sect disciples have perished within!

Conversely, some outer sanctum and even servant-disciples have survived!

Who would dare to take the challenge now?

Unless those truly fearless folks are willing to take a gamble and enter!

When Ye Chen arrived at the Seven Star Refining God Pavilion, countless disciples had already gathered outside the pavilion—almost half of the sect was present!

Ye Chen was slightly shocked as he looked at the pavilion before him. Although it wasn’t particularly tall, it gave him a sense of reaching the Sealed Gate.

With the strength of his divine soul, it was not easy to affect him.

The Seven Star Refining God Pavilion consists of seven layers, and interestingly, these seven pavilions correspond to the Beidou Seven Stars on the plane!

The First Layer is the Po Jun Pavilion, the Second Layer is the Martial Arts Pavilion, the Third Layer is the Lianzhen Pavilion, the Fourth Layer is the Wenqu Pavilion, the Fifth Layer is the Lu Cun Pavilion, the Sixth Layer is the Giant Gate Pavilion, and the Seventh Layer is the Tan Lang Pavilion!

Ye Chen looked at the Seven Star Refining God Pavilion with a peculiar expression. Could it be that the one who set up this pavilion came from Huaxia?

However, he didn’t dwell on it too much. With a movement of his body, he was about to step in under the watchful eyes of the crowd!

Not just the disciples, the higher-ups of the Divine Extreme Sect and Chu Ying were also in attendance!

They hid themselves high in the sky, their gazes fixed on Ye Chen.

Their looks were somber.

Just as Ye Chen was about to enter, suddenly, the whole Seven Star Refining God Pavilion erupted with an intense burst of white light!

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, instinctively stepping back several paces in the face of this blinding light!

Then, the white light receded, and in front of everyone, appeared a white silhouette whose features were indistinct!

Although the face was unclear, the presence radiating from the figure filled everyone with shock and awe!

”Ancestor... Ancestor Spirit?”

The sage-like old man muttered, staring at the figure in a daze.

The Seven Star Refining God Pavilion was a strand of Divine Intent left behind by the Grandmaster, containing spiritual energy and an understanding of martial arts!

It also held a trace of spirituality.

It is said that when a disciple with exceptional talent challenges the Refining God Pavilion, the Ancestor Spirit would appear!

Ye Chen, too, watched the Ancestor Spirit before him with a moved expression.

This Ancestor Spirit, though only a strand of Divine Intent, gave him a feeling that it could instantly place him in a dead land with no chance of resistance!

It was not the disparity in Martial Arts Cultivation Realm, but in the understanding of martial arts that made the difference!

Suddenly, the Ancestor Spirit pointed at Ye Chen, causing a white light to flash, and a star map of the Beidou Seven Stars emerged above Ye Chen’s head.

In that star map, after the Star representing Po Jun flickered, it suddenly dimmed.

Immediately after, the star map dissipated.

The Ancestor Spirit spoke to Ye Chen: ”Without retreat, death awaits!”

Having said that, it vanished again.

Though ethereal, the Ancestor Spirit’s voice reached everyone’s ears!

This meant, Ye Chen wouldn’t even be able to pass through the First Layer, the Po Jun Pavilion!

The sage-like old man became anxious, turning to Yu Zhenzi, ”Sect Master, we must stop him!”

They naturally wouldn’t doubt the words of the Ancestor Spirit!

Moreover, the Seven Star Refining God Pavilion is not like the Divine Devil Pond; even they couldn’t break through it!

The Ancestor Spirit seldom appeared, and while this was true for ordinary disciples, those at their level of the hierarchy had a completely different understanding of the Ancestor Spirit and were more aware of the accuracy of the Ancestor Spirit’s predictions!

Every time the Ancestor Spirit appeared, the Divine Extreme Sect kept a record. Throughout history, it had appeared 13,000 times, and among these, 11,530 people heeded its warning and withdrew.

And those who remained all met the fate predicted by the Ancestor Spirit; they died while challenging Star Pavilions that surpassed their own strength!

As for Ye Chen, he couldn’t even pass the first level of the Po Jun Pavilion. Without withdrawing, what else could he do?

Yu Zhenzi also frowned deeply. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, ”Fate lies in one’s own hands; we should not interfere with his choices.”

Excessive protection is not beneficial; at times, it instead hinders the disciple’s development.

This was not what Yu Zhenzi wished to see.

At this moment, Ye Chen made his move.

All the disciples had their eyes wide open, watching him in stunned silence, unable to breathe.

Ye Chen did not retreat.

Instead, he stepped into the Seven Star Refining God Pavilion with unwavering and steady strides.

Although Yu Zhenzi allowed Ye Chen to make his own choice, deep down, they were all praying for Ye Chen to retreat!

But...

In the end, Ye Chen still entered...

Chu Ying’s figure trembled, and she almost fainted, but Tu Lanxin supported her, while down below, Wen Min’er’s beautiful eyes also shook. She felt her heart clench tightly the moment Ye Chen stepped into the Refining God Pavilion!

At that moment, Ye Chen found himself in a mysterious space.

This place was like a star nebula, where amidst boundless darkness, specks of brilliant dust drifted.

Here, the concept of time and space seemed to be lost; everything was halted.

Ye Chen’s brows furrowed. What place was this?

He couldn’t help but ask the Ancient Medical God, ”Elder Cang, what exactly is this Po Jun Pavilion...?”

Before he could finish speaking, a cold glint suddenly shone within the star nebula!

Ye Chen’s pupils constricted, and his figure darted, ready to dodge!

But as the thought of dodging barely surfaced in Ye Chen’s mind, the cold light had already struck him!

With no time to react, Ye Chen spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!

His abdomen was completely penetrated!

Yet, what shocked him the most wasn’t the injury, but the extremely mysterious sensation brought by that attack!

At this time, the voice of the Ancient Medical God, carrying a hint of mockery, resounded, ”Heh heh, this Refining God Pavilion is quite interesting.”

Ye Chen took a deep breath; the hole in his abdomen was healing rapidly, but his eyes grew even more solemn!

No wonder the Ancestor Spirit said he couldn’t even pass the first level of the Star Pavilion...

That attack just now would have killed any ordinary disciple.

And now, he felt that within the starry sky, hundreds upon thousands of cold lights were shining!

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, grasping the Green Lotus Annihilation Sword. The Sky-Shattering Power surged within him; the cold light attacks were almost like Instant Teleportation. He needed to strike first!

”Sword God of Six Paths! Spirit Demon Annihilation Sky Sword!”

Ye Chen roared lowly, wielding the infinite mass of the Green Lotus Annihilation Sword with Sky-Shattering Power, and struck out at the star nebula!

The violent sword qi, mixed with a heaven-defying tremendous force, swept around in all directions!

The next moment, splatter, splatter, splatter! Blood spattered everywhere!

Over a hundred blood holes covered Ye Chen’s entire body!

The sieve-like Ye Chen’s face stiffened.

The Spirit Demon Annihilation Sky Sword had not the slightest effect!

”Damn!” At this moment, Ye Chen also somewhat panicked, shouting in his mind: ”Elder Cang, you understand the Divine Kingdom, what the hell is this!”

Although the blood holes on his body were healing rapidly again, from within the star nebula, another hundred cold lights flickered!
