"Splitting Zhen Yuan flying swords is even more difficult than I thought!"
Standing in front of the lake, Ye Chen pointed with his finger, and the Gold Sword came out of its scabbard on its own. The dense sword Qi hovered above Ye Chen's head twice, and the Gold Sword suddenly trembled, splitting into two lifelike Gold Swords. These Gold Swords were imitated by Zhen Yuan, and the three swords merged into one.
One shouldn't look down on Zhen Yuan flying swords, as it was not easy at all. The hardest part was to let nature take its course. If Ye Chen were to forcefully split the Zhen Yuan flying swords, not to mention three swords, he could even launch a hundred swords at the same time. Unfortunately, what was the use? The forcefully split Zhen Yuan flying swords would only be equivalent to an ordinary Zhen Yuan attack. Even if Ye Chen's sword intent was powerful, it wouldn't have much destructive power. After a period of cultivation, Ye Chen could only naturally split two Zhen Yuan flying swords.
The true Zhen Yuan flying swords had to have at least a third of the original's power. Otherwise, it wouldn't be complete, and wouldn't have enough power.
"Go!"
Three sword shadows shot out, slashing on a somewhat broken upper grade shield.
Puchi!
Three holes immediately appeared on the shield. The hole in the middle was extremely thin, as if it had been carefully polished. The holes on both sides were slightly twisted, and the iron skin was twisted. A strong smell of iron spread out, like sulfur or rotten eggs.
This broken upper grade shield was Ye Chen's spoils of war in Blood Battle Ocean. He had given the intact ones to the Dragon God Celestial Palace, who then gave him sufficient rewards. As for the broken ones, Ye Chen kept a portion and gave the rest to the Dragon God Celestial Palace as well. He discovered that using a broken upper grade artifact to test the attacking power was extremely effective. After all, no matter how broken an upper grade artifact was, it was still not something a mid grade artifact could compare to. To destroy it was not something an ordinary Sea of Soul Master could do. It was the best tool for testing power.
"Not bad, about a third of the original's power." According to the size and shape of the sword holes, it wasn't hard for Ye Chen to judge the power of the Zhen Yuan flying swords.
Puchi!
The Zhen Yuan flying swords pierced through the broken upper grade shield and dissipated in the next instant, turning into two wisps of green smoke.
Only the Golden Sword was still as sharp as ever and was not damaged at all.
Whoosh!
Ye Chen pointed his finger and the golden sword returned to its scabbard.
"Ye Chen, Auntie is calling you for dinner."
Not far away, Murong Qingcheng, who was dressed in a purple robe without a mask, walked over. A fragrant breeze filled the air.
"Okay, I'll be right there. Let me change first."
Ye Chen kissed Murong Qingcheng, turned around, and walked back into the house. Splitting the true essence flying swords required a great deal of concentration, and Ye Chen's body began to sweat.
…
Days passed by. Ye Chen was either cultivating or spending time with Murong Qingcheng. He had plenty of time.
One day, a deacon from the Pavilion of Luoyang City brought news.
It turned out to be a letter from Yan Fengfeng, asking them to meet up in the Sky Martial Region. Because of the long journey, she had given the letter to the number one information organization in the world, the Knowledge Pavilion, which had stores all over the continent, making it very convenient.
After reading the letter, Ye Chen said to Murong Qingcheng, "It has been a long time since I went to the Sky Martial Region. Let's go tomorrow."
For most of the martial geniuses, the Sky Martial Region was a holy land. But, for Ye Chen, it did not have any special meaning. The higher he stood, the more indifferent he would feel.
…
The journey was long, so there was no need to travel by himself. So, Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng got on the flying puppet and flew at ten times the speed of sound toward the Sky Martial Region.
In this world, normal people did not have much to do, going out early and returning late every day to make a living for their families. There were also rich young men who indulged in sensual pleasures. Along the way, Ye Chen did not let the flying puppet fly too high. They flew past one city after another, seeing a very familiar scene. If he did not have his soul traveling over and was still in that world, his life would probably be one of the people down there. But now, he did not have to worry about his life anymore. All he wanted was to reach the peak of the sword art and explore the mysteries of the world.
Without realizing it, Ye Chen realized that he had already left the mortal world and reached a higher level. The people down there were just normal people in his eyes. Perhaps their lives would still be interesting, but what they wanted would be completely different.
One month later …
The two arrived at the Sky Martial Region.
The place where Yan Fengfeng had invited Ye Chen was in the Lotus City, one of the top ten cities in the world. The whole city was blue and tall. From far away, Ye Chen could already see the tall buildings in the city. The tall ones were hundreds of meters tall, like towers, while the shorter ones were about the same. They seemed to be endless.
Shoo!
The flying puppet did not slow down at all, rushing into the city directly.
The White Cloud Restaurant was one of the top two restaurants in the city. Although it was luxurious, it was not extravagant. It was made of ancient Cloud Wood, and had eighteen floors in total. Each floor was twenty meters tall, taking up a lot of space. Sitting on the eighteenth floor of the restaurant, the clouds in the sky seemed very close, as if they could touch them with their hands.
"Ye Chen!"
On the eighteenth floor, Yan Fengfeng saw Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng. Beside her were the disciples of the Mysterious Martial School and Hai Wuya.
Putting away the flying puppet, Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng floated into the eighteenth floor of the restaurant.
"Long time no see."
Ye Chen cupped his fists.
Hai Wuya laughed, "You brat, I thought you had forgotten about us. It has been almost two years since we last met, right? This time, we have to drink to our heart's content. "
"Alright!"
Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng sat down and poured themselves a cup of wine, drinking it in one gulp.
"Great!"
Hai Wuya and Yan Fengfeng each drank a cup.
"Senior brother Ye!"
"Hello, Senior brother Ye!"
The disciples of the Mysterious Martial School and Sky Ocean Martial School greeted Ye Chen one after another. For many of them, it was their first time seeing Ye Chen, so they were a bit reserved.
Ye Chen chuckled, "Everyone, relax a bit."
Hai Wuya said, "With you here, they won't be able to relax. Don't you think about your current status among the geniuses? But, you will get used to it. Don't mind it too much."
"Isn't this Sword Master Ye Chen?"
"So, Yan Fengfeng invited him."
Each floor of the restaurant could hold hundreds of people, and those who could be on the eighteenth floor were either the upper echelons of the martial schools or the top geniuses. Many of them had seen Ye Chen before, and some of them could be considered famous figures in the Sky Martial Region. But, the second they saw Ye Chen, they all started gossiping and discussing in low voices.
"Ever since Ye Chen got the title of Sword Master, he disappeared without a trace. A lot of people said that he was afraid, afraid that he could not bear the title. I wonder if those people would still dare to say such things in front of Ye Chen when he comes back."
"Of course not. They are only talking behind his back."
"That is true. There are not many who would dare to say it directly."
There were a lot of people discussing in low voices, and some of them would look at Ye Chen from time to time.
Within a year of Ye Chen's departure, the new ranking had also come out. Dugu Jue was at the forefront, ranked second. Dantai Mingyue shocked the whole crowd the moment she made her move, ranked third. Bai Wuxue had always been at the top level, ranked fourth. The top twenty were almost all occupied by all the top geniuses. The older generation masters were all giving up their positions.
As for the first place, it was still Ye Chen. In this era where geniuses were emerging endlessly, Ye Chen was the only one who had been ranked first for two consecutive years. In the past, Ye Chen was also one of the many geniuses. But now, his fame had already spread throughout the continent. There were many people who had not seen Ye Chen before, but there were only a pitiful few who had not heard of Ye Chen.
However, newborn calves were not afraid of tigers. There were some new geniuses who were not very sure of Ye Chen. They only saw how horrifying Dugu Jue was, how stunning Dantai Mingyue was, and how elegant Bai Wuxue was. As for Ye Chen, he would probably lose the first place sooner or later.
After all, no one could guarantee that they would be in a period of rapid development for more than a year, improving by leaps and bounds. In a situation where there was not much difference, many things could be changed in one year, such as the change of the Grandmaster Ranking.
"Sword Sect's Ye Chen, interesting?"
There were three young men and women sitting at a table near the window. The man on the left had a majestic build. His arms were thicker than ordinary people's legs, and he had a heavy saber on his waist. His eyebrows were very thick and long, and his tiger-like eyes contained a terrifying energy. Next to the majestic young man sat a girl in colorful clothes. She had an exotic charm, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and plump lips. She looked very flirtatious, and her body was incomparably hot. Her skin was a light wheat color, and she looked very healthy.
Opposite them was a young man. This person's hands were very long and slender, like bamboo joints. His appearance could not be said to be handsome, but it could not be said to be ugly either. His eyes were narrow and long, and the corners of his eyes were very sharp. At this moment, the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and there was a trace of evil in it.
The clothes of these three people did not fit in with the others, and they seemed to have come from very far away.
"Talking about the sword in front of Brother Liu is just asking to be humiliated." The girl in colorful clothes did not hide her voice at all.
"Yes."
The majestic young man nodded.
"Who are you people?"
On a nearby table, a few geniuses who admired Ye Chen creased their brows and asked.
"We're from the West Ocean."
The young man drank his wine without looking sideways.
"West Ocean? I don't care where you're from, but you'd better have some self-awareness. Ye Chen is not someone you can casually belittle. "
"So what if I belittle him?"
The young man swirled the wine in his hand, and the sparkling wine swirled around.
"You're from the West Ocean, and you don't have any achievements on True Spirit Continent. What qualifications do you have to belittle him?"
The girl in colorful clothes said with a disdainful face, "Do you know Lu Shaoyou?"
"Lu Shaoyou? Of course I know him. What's the point of talking about him? "
Although Ye Chen, Dugu Jue, Dantai Mingyue, and Yan Fengfeng had become the top five young tycoons, pushing down Lu Shaoyou and the rest, Lu Shaoyou was once one of the top five young tycoons. No one knew what realm his strength had reached.
"Half a year ago, Lu Shaoyou went to the West Ocean, but he couldn't even take ten swords from Brother Liu. Your so-called Sword Master Ye Chen might not be that powerful."
"What? Lu Shaoyou couldn't even take ten swords from him, and that was half a year ago. "
Half a year ago, Lu Shaoyou was certainly much more powerful than before, but even he couldn't take ten swords from this young man. Who exactly was this person?
