Walking on the bright and clean jade road, Ye Chen casually plucked a small white flower from a nearby tree and brought it to his nose for a sniff. A fragrance filled his nostrils, and an aura that could shake one's spirit entered his body.
"Right, Elder Yu, I'd like to ask you something. Do you know Xu Jing?" Ye Chen asked.
Elder Yu replied, "Of course I do. I won't hide it from you, but Sect Master attaches great importance to her, no less than you. He has already appointed her as the Dragon God Celestial Palace's goddess. Her position is only below Sect Master, and above everyone else."
"Goddess?"
Ye Chen was flabbergasted. In truth, he had no idea why Dragon King would attach so much importance to Xu Jing. He naturally knew that Xu Jing was extraordinary, but everything had to have a reason. Without a reason, Ye Chen didn't believe, and didn't dare to believe. However, since Xu Jing was the goddess, it should be a good thing.
"Do you know where she is?"
Ye Chen asked again.
A strange expression flickered on Elder Yu's face, "I don't know. After Sect Master appointed her as the goddess, we haven't seen her again. However, according to my guess, she should be in seclusion. You also know that this woman's origin is extraordinary, and even Sect Master attaches great importance to her. Moreover, Sect Master said that he appointed her as the goddess, and it wasn't without reason. As for what the reason is, he won't tell us for the time being."
Hearing these words, Ye Chen smiled bitterly. He originally thought that he would be able to meet Xu Jing after coming to Dragon God Celestial Palace. But now, it seemed impossible. He didn't know when she would come out of seclusion.
Seeing Ye Chen's regretful expression, Elder Yu smiled, "You're still young, and you still have a lot of time to squander. A few years is nothing. When you enter the Life and Death realm one day, even a hundred years will be nothing."
Ye Chen smiled, but didn't say anything.
"Grandpa Yu!"
The two of them were walking on a large street in the middle of the buildings. Just as they were about to turn a corner, a group of young men and women approached them. Each of them was either handsome or enchanting. The woman who spoke looked to be around twenty-two to twenty-four years old. She was wearing an emerald dress that resembled a palace dress and had an emerald hairpin in her hair. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she sweetly called out to Elder Yu.
Elder Yu revealed a smile and said, "So it's Yuxin."
"Greetings, Elder Yu."
"Greetings, Eighteenth Elder."
It was easy to tell that this group of young men and women were all core disciples of Dragon God Celestial Palace. As a fifth grade sect, the significance of being a core disciple was different from that of ordinary sects. In ordinary sects, once one's cultivation base reached a certain level, one could become an elder. However, a fifth grade sect could maintain the status of a disciple. However, the status of a core disciple was not lower than that of an ordinary elder. It was almost second only to the members of the Elder Association, equivalent to an inner elder.
The beauty named Yuxin had exquisite facial features. Her eyebrows were bright, and her eyes sparkled like the stars in the sky. She suspiciously glanced at Ye Chen, "Grandpa Yu, this is …"
The disciples of Dragon God Celestial Palace rarely went to True Spirit Continent. Those who knew about Ye Chen were mostly the upper echelons of the palace. Therefore, it wasn't strange that Yuxin didn't know him.
Elder Yu introduced, "Ye Chen, this is my Dragon God Celestial Palace's fifth disciple, Chen Yuxin. Yuxin, you might not have heard of Ye Chen, but he's the most outstanding among the young generation of True Spirit Continent. No one can compare to him. Moreover, he's the first Sword Master of True Spirit Continent in several hundred years, and is even ranked first in the Masters List."
Every time Chen Yuxin heard Ye Chen's identity, her mouth would open a little bit wider, forming an 'O' shape. Most outstanding among the young generation of True Spirit Continent? No one can compare to him? Sword Master of True Spirit Continent? Ranked first in the Masters List? Each of these titles was frightening. Although they boasted themselves as extraordinary, they also knew that True Spirit Continent was extremely powerful. There were countless fifth grade sects, and there was even the Void Gate, a fourth grade sect that surpassed the Dragon God Celestial Palace. To be able to suppress so many geniuses, one's talent and strength could no longer be described as' powerful ', but' frightening '.
"Are you exaggerating? He's only at the peak of mid Sea of Soul realm." A youth beside Chen Yuxin revealed a skeptical expression and muttered.
Elder Yu glared at him and said, "When you see him in the future, treat him as if he's a member of Elders Association or the five palace leaders. Remember, don't offend him, or you'll have to bear the consequences."
He knew that the core disciples of Dragon God Celestial Palace were very proud. Unfortunately, compared to Ye Chen, their pride was not even worth mentioning. It could be said that Ye Chen was already a Life and Death King in the eyes of Elders Association, which meant that his chances of entering Life and Death realm were more than fifty percent.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Ye."
Chen Yuxin seemed very obedient. She could see that although Ye Chen looked like a handsome young man with an extraordinary temperament, his pair of dull eyes would occasionally reveal a wisp of light. This wisp of light was like a sword or a blade, carrying a destructive aura that made her heart palpitate.
Of course, she didn't know that because Ye Chen had just raised his Destruction Sword Soul to the fifth step, he was somewhat unable to control his sword intent, causing a wisp of sword intent to leak out. Otherwise, one wouldn't be able to see through Ye Chen's mysteriousness and would only think that he was not simple.
"Greetings, Junior Sister Chen. Please advise me in the future."
Ye Chen faintly smiled.
"Of course."
Chen Yuxin curiously sized up Ye Chen.
"Alright, I'm going to take Ye Chen to Elders Association. You two go do your own things!" Finished speaking, Elder Yu left with Ye Chen.
After the two left, the youngster by Chen Yuxin's side spoke in an unconvinced tone, "Only peak mid Sea of Soul realm cultivation base. The title of Sword Master must have been given by himself, or someone trying to curry favor with him."
"Junior Brother Wu, your cultivation base is only at early Sea of Soul realm. You don't have the qualifications to judge him. I believe that Grandpa Yu's words are not without evidence."
In truth, Chen Yuxin was also a bit doubtful. However, she believed that Elder Yu wouldn't lie. Therefore, if she wanted to know the truth about Ye Chen, she would have to understand a bit more.
"Of course I can't compare to him. However, senior brother's goal is also Sword Master, and senior brother is already at peak late Sea of Soul realm." The youngster had a good relationship with the head disciple of Dragon God Celestial Palace. Therefore, he didn't like Ye Chen's Sword Master title at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so unconvinced.
"Don't cause trouble!"
Chen Yuxin reminded him. After that, she frowned slightly. She knew that her Eldest Senior Brother's goal was the Sword Sect, and her Eldest Senior Brother was indeed the most talented genius in the way of the sword she had ever seen. His achievements in the way of the sword were terrifying. One man and one sword, he had once killed three notorious evil sword grandmasters in the Eastern Shallow Sea. He had also defeated all the geniuses in the way of the sword in the enemy forces.
It could be said that senior brother's position in Eastern Shallow Ocean was equivalent to Ye Chen's position in True Spirit Continent according to Elder Yu.
One mountain couldn't accommodate two tigers. Sooner or later, something would happen.
"I'll look for Grandpa Yu when I have time. He should know more inside information."
Chen Yuxin inwardly said.
…
On the way to the Elders' Hall, Elder Yu said, "That Chen Yuxin is pretty good. I've watched her grow up. She's only twenty-seven this year, but she already has a peak early Sea of Soul realm cultivation base. Her strength is much higher than ordinary Sea of Soul realm Masters."
Elder Yu only knew that Ye Chen was very powerful, and his reputation had surpassed the five young tyrants. However, he wasn't clear about the geniuses of True Spirit Continent. He thought that Chen Yuxin should be at the top of the list, which was why he felt proud.
Unfortunately, in Ye Chen's opinion, Chen Yuxin was about the same as Jing Aoxuan and Li Xiaoyun. There were many levels above her.
Of course, Sky Martial Region was an abnormal place, and Chen Yuxin was only twenty-seven years old. Therefore, it couldn't be said that she was weak. On the contrary, she was already very outstanding. She was definitely one of the peak geniuses.
"Not bad."
Ye Chen spoke the truth. Dragon God Celestial Palace was one of the peak fifth grade sects, and its five disciples were all at peak early Sea of Soul realm. One could easily imagine that the four above them were even more powerful. In terms of comprehensive strength, they were much stronger than Mysterious Sect.
"We've arrived at the Elders Hall."
Soon, the two of them arrived in front of a magnificent and majestic hall. Two stone sculptures of strange beasts were placed at the entrance of the hall. The strange beasts were holding a scale in their hands. The scale was extremely stable, representing absolute fairness and the dignity of the Elder Council of the Elder Hall.
"Come, let's go in together."
Elder Yu didn't let Ye Chen wait outside and directly brought him into the Elders Hall.
"Li Tong, ring the assembly bell."
Upon entering the hall, Elder Yu directly spoke to an attendant beside him.
"Yes."
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
The sound of the bell, which was full of texture, spread out in all directions.
In a short while, the members of the Elders Hall arrived one after another and took their seats.
"He's Ye Chen."
"What a young appearance!"
This was their first time seeing Ye Chen in person. In the past, they had only seen Ye Chen's portrait. Ye Chen was much younger than they had imagined. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be in his early twenties. This meant that Ye Chen's advancement was extremely fast, allowing him to maintain the appearance of a twenty-year-old.
"Ye Chen, I'm surnamed Lin. Nice to meet you."
Some elders started to greet Ye Chen. They didn't put on any airs of Elders Hall members, and they couldn't do so in front of Ye Chen. Be it strength or status, both sides were equal. In terms of importance, Ye Chen was much higher than them.
Tap! Tap!
Footsteps echoed as another elder walked in. This elder was the second elder, second only to the great elder. Just like Ye Chen, he was a sword artist. His nickname was Master Silver Sword, and his weapon was a silver sword. In terms of strength, he was just like the great elder, unfathomable.
"Ye Chen."
The second elder sized up Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen, this is the second elder," Elder Yu introduced.
Ye Chen nodded, "Second Elder."
The second elder didn't say anything. His figure shook, and a sword intent that could slaughter the world gushed out. The entire Elders Hall seemed to be shrouded in a bloody light. Within the bloody light, everyone saw different scenes. Some were mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and some were battlefields. It was a scene that could shake one's mind and cause one's soul to swell.
Most of the sword intent was concentrated on Ye Chen.
