The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 4138: Chapter 4138: The Empress Arrives (Seventh Update)

In this way, Ye Chen benefited greatly, and he also became even more curious about the identity of the Red and Purple Venerates. These two elders were so mysterious, so skilled in the Sword Dao, and appeared in this Xuantian Sword Tomb; obviously, they were no ordinary people.

Immediately, Ye Chen once again asked the Red and Purple Venerates about the whereabouts of the Yue Hun Witch.

This time, knowing Ye Chen’s true identity, the Red and Purple Venerates were much more polite and did not refuse to answer. However, they also did not know the whereabouts of the Yue Hun Witch.

”I suspect the Yue Hun Witch might be in the altar deep within the Xuantian Sword Tomb. Although I have never seen her, the Upper Realm Empress has visited the Xuantian Sword Tomb multiple times, and every time, she goes to the altar. There must be something strange there.”

Red Venerate stroked the dark-gold armor on his body and spoke to Ye Chen.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen felt a stir in his heart. Xuan Jiyue is a busy person, yet she visits the altar deep within the Xuantian Sword Tomb multiple times; there must be something odd about the altar.

”If that’s the case, then it’s time for us to part ways, seniors. I will go take a look at the altar.”

Ye Chen asked the Red and Purple Venerates about the location of the altar and then prepared to set off.

Seeing this, the Red and Purple Venerates hesitated for a moment but did not stop Ye Chen.

Actually, there was one thing they didn’t say: to enter the altar in the Xuantian Sword Tomb, one needs extremely high division of realms and strength. Ye Chen might not be able to step in at the moment.

But the Red and Purple Venerates also knew Ye Chen’s identity as the Samsara Master, so they couldn’t definitively rule out his ability to enter the altar, and thus they said no more.

At this moment, Ye Chen bid farewell to the Red and Purple Venerates and headed toward the depths of the Xuantian Sword Tomb.

Having passed through the Triple Sword Tribulation, the Xuantian Sword Tomb would no longer attack Ye Chen, so the chilling light of the swords dissipated, and Ye Chen encountered no trouble along the way. Crossing a series of huge swords reaching into the skies and the Sword Tower, Ye Chen successfully arrived at the depths of the Xuantian Sword Tomb.

Before his eyes was a magnificent and grand altar, built against a mountain, as if it was a place where the ancient gods used to worship the heavens.

Endless spiritual energy swirled over the altar, at times transforming into dragons, at others into divine phoenixes. Various auspicious exotic beasts appeared, highlighting the extraordinary nature of the altar.

On the altar, there were various runes engraved with a sinister demonic qi, connected to form a giant array formation that suppressed the entire altar below. Ye Chen could vaguely sense the altar contained unfathomable, terrifying powers.

”This...”

Ye Chen squinted his eyes and slowly approached the altar. He saw the entrance to the altar, at the very front, where there was a black stone door. On it were mysterious runes formed by dark green blood, shimmering and exuding a monstrous fierce aura.

Ye Chen approached the stone door, hesitated for a moment, his eyes flashing with determination, and directly placed a palm on the stone door.

”Boom!”

With a loud bang, Ye Chen’s body was suddenly knocked back, crashing into a stone pillar behind him, causing it to collapse. Ye Chen emerged from the dust, his face grim as he looked at the unmoving stone door.

This stone door contained powerful prohibition power, even more terrifying than the entrance of the Xuantian Sword Tomb. This power was something Ye Chen could not destroy, and the black stone showed no change, leaving Ye Chen feeling a bit helpless, not knowing how to enter the altar.

Given Ye Chen’s current division of realms in the Holy Ancestor Realm, he was unable to step into the altar under any circumstances. Ye Chen stood silently before the altar for a long time, then turned to leave, deciding to attempt again after breaking through to the Heavenly Repairing Realm.

But at the moment of turning away, Ye Chen suddenly felt a brief flash of the Moon Soul Mark on his forehead.

”Senior Yue Hun!”

Ye Chen suddenly turned back to the altar, and at this moment, he was completely certain that the Yue Hun Witch was indeed inside this altar, and other powerhouses of the Samsara Graveyard might also be trapped here.

...

Upper Realm, Empress Palace.

Xuan Jiyue sat at the highest seat in the palace, her gaze coldly observing the people below. She had just pacified the great changes in the Upper Realm and was now receiving news from Tianyin and Tiansha.

Beneath Xuan Jiyue were two indistinct figures resembling rippling water waves, who were Tianjue and Tianmie of the four from Yin Sha Jue Mie.

It was them who received news from Tianyin and Tiansha about numerous phenomena occurring in the Xuantian Sword Tomb, as if someone was crossing the Triple Sword Tribulation within.

Upon learning this news, boundless killing intent surged in Xuan Jiyue’s eyes. She sensed something amiss; the existence protected at all costs by the Yue Hun Witch and Soul Seeker Saintess might have entered the Xuantian Sword Tomb, potentially causing her much trouble.

”I must personally go!”

Xuan Jiyue stood abruptly, her clothing shaking, her three thousand strands of black silk flying, as she swept out her Emperor’s Aura to suppress all heavens, looking down at her subordinates in the Empress Palace.

”I will leave for a while. I do not wish for incidents like before to occur again, or you know the consequences.”

After saying this with fierce killing intent, Xuan Jiyue’s figure vanished into thin air. When she reappeared, she had already arrived at the entrance of the Xuantian Sword Tomb.

The seal at the entrance was personally set up by Xuan Jiyue, and upon her arrival, with a mere wave of her hand in the void, the intertwined divine patterns of the seal concealed themselves, and Xuan Jiyue stepped in without hesitation.

In the next moment, within the Xuantian Sword Tomb, Xuan Jiyue appeared above the sky, coldly surveying the world. She noticed anomalies as sword fierceness lingered, clearly indicating someone was crossing the Triple Sword Tribulation here.

Xuan Jiyue’s face turned cold as she suddenly called out, ”Xuan Jiyue is here to investigate matters. I hope the two Elders Zun can show themselves.”

Xuan Jiyue’s voice echoed throughout the Xuantian Sword Tomb, and in the distant darkness of the sky, the Red and Purple Venerates looked at each other with calm expressions, having already predicted Xuan Jiyue’s arrival.

”Fortunately, you and I used concealment techniques to shield Ye Chen’s aura in advance, or this matter would truly be troublesome.”

Red Venerate looked at Purple Venerate, a hint of a smile on his lips. In the next moment, both of them flashed and appeared before Xuan Jiyue.

”Hmph, it’s you again. Over the years, you’re the one who comes here for various matters. What’s the occasion this time?”

Even when facing Xuan Jiyue, Red Venerate showed no fear and instead exhibited an arrogant attitude, looking at Xuan Jiyue with displeasure.

”Indeed, if you have matters, speak quickly. We still need to cultivate; we can’t waste time with you.”

Purple Venerate similarly looked at Xuan Jiyue with disdain.

”Hmph, two old undying ones.”

Xuan Jiyue looked at the Red and Purple Venerates, a chilling intent flashing in her eyes, but she did not lose her temper, being cautious of their identities.

”Both Elders Zun, someone has stepped into the Xuantian Sword Tomb. Have you seen anyone?”

Xuan Jiyue coolly stared at the Red and Purple Venerates’ faces, determined to catch any sign of weakness in their expressions.
