Ye Chen returned to the True Martial Hall and immediately entered the Sword Tomb.

"Master Legs, are you sure the restriction you taught me won’t be discovered?" Ye Chen asked.

Master Legs stomped his foot and said, "Shi Fengchun is quite strong, but my restriction, he can forget about discovering it."

Ye Chen nodded.

Today, he went to the Celestial Soldier Pavilion and handed the Storage Ring to Lin Yan, fully aware of many things in his heart.

He didn’t make it explicit, nor did he stop it.

But he still kept a lookout.

Among the things Brother Chun took, there was the restriction he had temporarily learned from Master Legs.

If Brother Chun tried to use it, Ye Chen would be able to detect it immediately and determine a rough position.

Everything happened just as Ye Chen had anticipated.

The ostensibly calm Brother Chun was already on the verge of taking the most dangerous step.

Beside him, Luo Qingyi said, "With your strength, you can’t intervene in Shi Fengchun’s matters anymore. Take care of yourself first.

If the Reincarnation Divine Palace and Primal Heaven both erupt, then even the combined power of the entire East Domain wouldn’t be able to protect you."

"I understand, so after handling the Cangzhou matters, I have to go to the Celestial Burial Sea. There, powerful individuals abound. Although the risk is greater, it’s more suitable for me.

Primal Heaven and the Reincarnation Divine Palace shouldn’t be able to act recklessly in the Celestial Burial Sea."

Ye Chen expressed his true thoughts.

Going to the Celestial Burial Sea, his primary goal was to rescue his mother.

Second, it was to avoid the Reincarnation Divine Palace and Primal Heaven.

Thinking about the timing.

The Reincarnator Lin Jiao and Primal Heaven’s Destiny Walker Yun Feiyang hadn’t reached Beyond Heaven yet, so Ye Chen wasn’t in a hurry to head there either. He directly stayed within the sixth level of the Sword Tomb, refining the monument’s Sword Qi, annihilating the Celestial Demon’s remnant souls while tempering his Immortal Sword Body.

When his body couldn’t withstand the impact of the monument Sword Qi anymore, Ye Chen stopped and went to the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele to comprehend the inscriptions.

The tiny apertures within his body were uncovered, creating a tight connection between each one.

Controlling each aperture, vibrating with a special frequency, martial arts, Flesh Dao, and Spirit Dao simultaneously improved.

Even though the current effect was still quite weak.

However, Ye Chen believed that once he fully comprehended the entire World-Suppressing Celestial Stele’s inscriptions, it would have extraordinary significance.

After all.

The inscriptions he’s currently understanding aren’t even one percent complete.

......

Hidden Clan, Situ Clan Residence.

Situ Bo returned with the strong members of the Situ Clan and the people from the three other Hidden Clans, only to be dumbfounded.

The Situ Clan had been razed to the ground!

Everyone stood there, their mouths agape.

After the shock, a vicious expression appeared on Situ Bo’s face.

The Patriarch of Xing Province’s Wu Family, Wu Qianfan, turned pale and said, "Situ Bo, you didn’t also lose the Cyan Lotus Spirit Flame I brought along, did you!"

Situ Bo’s face darkened, and without saying a word, he rushed toward a pile of rubble and struck it with his palm.

"Boom!"

The ground exploded.

The hidden chamber beneath the surface appeared before everyone’s eyes.

A great cauldron, ablaze with flames, was incinerating a hunched, elderly body.

Wu Family’s Patriarch Wu Qianfan dove down and roared angrily, "Our Wu Family’s heavenly fire seed is already gone, but this body remains, Situ Bo, you better explain clearly what’s going on here!"

Situ Bo stared at Wu Qianfan and said, "Wu Qianfan, you don’t think I coveted your heavenly fire seed and orchestrated such a ploy, do you?

Heavenly fire seeds are precious, but I wouldn’t sacrifice my entire Situ Clan just for a heavenly fire seed!"

Patriarch Xiao Fei of the Xiao Family, said in a grave voice, "Patriarch Wu, calm down, it’s clearly impossible that Patriarch Situ orchestrated this event. Evidently, a powerful force took advantage of our battle with Shi Fengchun to annihilate the Situ Clan."

An elder from the Ouyang Clan in Yang Province frowned and said, "Judging by the scene, the battle erupted suddenly and ended quickly. This force is incredibly strong, but I can’t figure out where such a terrifying force came from in Cangzhou?

Moreover, they destroyed the Situ Clan’s land, took away the Wu Family’s heavenly fire seed, but left this body. Something’s not right."

Everyone was at a loss.

After a moment.

Xiao Fei said, "Let’s wait until Young Master Yun returns to discuss further."

"Young Master Yun was led away by Ye Chen and hasn’t returned yet, could something have happened?"

"Young Master Yun is the Destiny Walker of Primal Heaven this generation. His methods are beyond our comprehension, and I have a special form of communication with him. Earlier, Young Master Yun sent me a message saying he went to Beyond Heaven." Xiao Fei said.

"He went to Beyond Heaven?" Situ Bo said, "Could it be that Primal Heaven has a connection with the other races?"

Xiao Fei said, "Currently, the True Martial Hall Main Hall has heavily deployed forces in Cangzhou, preventing other Hidden Clan forces from entering. Young Master Yun going to Beyond Heaven should be to use those three tribes’ power to achieve victory in Cangzhou!"

What we need to do is wait here for Young Master Yun’s return."

......

Cangzhou True Martial Hall.

A middle-aged man with a straight posture and an exceedingly handsome and dashing presence stood in front of the imposing main gate, accompanied by a thick-browed youth carrying a heavy sword.

The next moment.

Shi Fengchun’s figure flashed and appeared in front of the two.

The young man with thick eyebrows immediately bowed to Shi Fengchun, saying, "Greetings, Hall Master Shi."

Shi Fengchun nodded and said, "You go find Ye Chen first, I’d like to have a few words with this senior."

The thick-browed youth was Luo Tian.

The middle-aged man beside him was, of course, the Mad Old Man Ye Chen spoke of, the World Daoist Master of the previous epoch, Yi Xiaoyao!

Shi Fengchun had long wanted to have a chat with him.

Now that he had come knocking, Shi Fengchun naturally didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

Yi Xiaoyao stared at Shi Fengchun with a complex expression, then nodded and said, "Luo Tian, go find Ye Chen and have him wait for me obediently!"

After a moment.

Shi Fengchun, taking Yi Xiaoyao, reached a secluded place.

"Senior, Reincarnator, Parasite, Destiny Reverser, which one am I?" Shi Fengchun asked directly, getting straight to the point.

"Do you know who I am?"

"World Daoist Master, Yi Xiaoyao!"

Yi Xiaoyao’s eyes filled with confusion, and there was a hint of pain in his expression.

"Senior, I can’t help you remember your past, but I believe you can solve my dilemma." Shi Fengchun said.

Yi Xiaoyao nodded and said, "At the end of an epoch, there are countless variables..." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

......

Ye Chen’s residence.

"Brother Luo, how did you get the Mad Old Man back?"

"I nearly killed myself." Luo Tian said.

Ye Chen: "... Thank you!"

"He’s remembered; he said his main body is with you and he wants to come retrieve it."

"Where is he?"

"Hall Master Shi said he needed to consult him, and they went together."

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed. Brother Chun finding the Mad Old Man is undoubtedly to understand some of his own issues.

Now, Ye Chen also believed that Brother Chun’s situation was indeed not something he didn’t say, but rather, he was not clear himself.

"No worries, your master is here. I’ll take him to find the main body." Ye Chen said.

"The main body isn’t with you?" A worried look appeared on Luo Tian’s face, fearing his cheap master might get angry and kill Ye Chen.

Ye Chen showed a look of anger and said, "Your master’s main body was kept in my Storage Ring. I took good care of it, afraid of any scratches or bumps.

But a bunch of nasty guys stole my Storage Ring. They discovered your master’s main body was extraordinary and roasted it every day, saying that once it cooked, it could enhance cultivation and ensure immortality."

Luo Tian stared at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen: "..."

Has Luo Tian gotten smarter?

Or is my acting not convincing?

Luo Tian: "Brother Ye, does my master’s main body look delicious?"

Ye Chen: "..."

Still the same Luo Tian.

I was overthinking!
