Primordial Star Scripture

Chapter 76: Chapter 70 Peace_2

This Tianfeng Tower Inn, towering three to four stories high, was a place not many martial artists in the True Qi Realm would dare to leap from directly above; yet Ye Chen, like a roc spreading its wings, descended elegantly, landing instantly before the nine fallen men, standing with poise.

"What a technique! Such an elegant flying technique!"

"To leap down from a height of three or four stories, could it be that he has mastered a Xuan-grade flying technique?"

"So young and he has mastered a Xuan-grade flying technique, could he be a disciple of a Great Sect, perhaps of the Taixuan Sect, which is a sixth-grade sect?"

The martial cultivators in the audience, watching Ye Chen's remarkably elegant technique, were all filled with envy.

All of them had practiced flying techniques, but theirs could not reach the extent of leaping dozens of meters.

This was indeed the level that could only be achieved with a legendary Xuan-grade flying technique!

These people were not mistaken--this was indeed Ye Chen's Wind Movement Skills that he had cultivated to a minor level of accomplishment!

Once the Wind Movement Skills were perfected to a level of Great Accomplishment, even crossing a hundred meters was possible, and although Ye Chen had just barely achieved minor accomplishment, he could already leap more than fifty meters. For him, leaping from the top of the Tianfeng Tower Inn, which was only three to four stories high, posed no difficulty at all.

Standing before the nine men, Ye Chen looked at the few who had not yet fainted and asked nonchalantly, "Are you disciples of the Hundred Treasures Sect, a seventh-grade sect?"

These men had already been stunned by Ye Chen's mysterious swordsmanship and his descent from the heavens, and upon hearing his inquiry, they nodded vigorously: "Yes, we are disciples of the Hundred Treasures Sect!"

"Brother, we had no idea you were so powerful! We shouldn't have provoked you!"

"Please... don't kill us!"

Ye Chen's actions had been decisive and ruthless, something they had perceived profoundly. Now facing Ye Chen, they didn't dare to even breathe too loudly, afraid of provoking him and being killed on the spot, which would leave them with no tears left to cry!

"I hear that among you, there's a grandson of one of your sect elders?"

"I will be staying right here in this inn. If he wants to seek revenge for his grandson, let him come."

"However, you can pass this item to him and see if he has the courage to show up!"

As Ye Chen spoke, he directly took out a copper-colored law token.

The few Hundred Treasures Sect disciples who were not unconscious glanced at the copper-colored law token and saw the big characters "Taixuan, True Successor" inscribed on it.

"Taixuan?"

"Are you truly a disciple of the Taixuan Sect from the sixth-grade sects?"

"Is this... the True Successor selection law token?"

As disciples of a seventh-grade sect, they knew more about the Taixuan Sect than the disciples from an eighth-grade sect would. The copper law token in Ye Chen's hand was the one they had heard that only the talented disciples who could participate in the Taixuan Sect's True Successor selection would receive.

Those who possessed this token were inevitably genius disciples of the Taixuan Sect, each possibly esteemed by the peak masters within the sect. How could they dare to provoke such individuals?

Even their own elders, if they truly provoked someone esteemed by an internal peak master of the Taixuan Sect and incurred their displeasure, would bring about a great disaster!

At that moment, the disciples who had previously thought about going back to Elder Wang to have him take revenge for them, didn't dare utter another word.

Ye Chen gave them a glance and put away the law token.

Gathering his Qi, he leaped straight towards the seventh floor of Tianfeng Tower Inn, and in the blink of an eye, he was back on the seventh floor.

This kind of movement skill once again caused the crowd below to surge with excitement!

Looking at his father, mother, and Tao'er, who were still on the corridor and hadn't entered their room, Ye Chen smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, Tao'er, go get some rest. This token was given to me by Fairy Jia Luo, so I don't think those people from Hundred Treasures Sect will dare to come again."

"Fairy Jia Luo?"

"Is she the one Tao'er spoke of, the most powerful fairy in the eastern region of Heavenly Wind Kingdom?"

Hearing Ye Chen mention Fairy Jia Luo and observing the few people below who were as silent as cicadas in winter, Ye Chen's parents truly felt at ease and returned to the room with Tao'er.

Ye Chen watched as his parents calmed down and couldn't help shaking his head with a wry smile.

He had shown the selection token because he wanted to reassure his parents.

Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have slept well all night because of this matter.

As for Elder Wang from the Hundred Treasures Sect, Ye Chen wasn't too worried about him. He had only given Wang Guangyuan a small punishment and hadn't killed him like he did Zhou Hai.

Would that Elder Wang really engage in a life-or-death struggle with him?

Even if it came to that, Ye Chen still had his trump card, the flying sword "Crimson Fire". If it really came down to the wire, it would be Elder Wang's misfortune!

"Sigh, the strength at the True Qi Realm is still far from enough. Every time I have to rely on 'Crimson Fire' as my trump card. It looks like I need to further increase my strength!"

"Whether it's Zhou Yuntian, who is already dead, or Elder Wang, who I don't know if he will come to kill me, or the selection of true disciples in Taixuan Sect in just over four months, facing all these challenges requires strong power to ensure my safety!"

"Tonight, I'll stay outside to guard my parents."

Ye Chen stood at the highest seventh floor of Tianfeng Tower Inn, watching as the crowd of onlookers below gradually dispersed, as several disciples from Hundred Treasures Sect supported each other and walked away, and then he looked up at the night sky over Qizhou City, his mind gradually calming down.

In the end, he moved his body and flew to the highest point of Heavenly Wind Tower, where he sat down cross-legged.

The night was tranquil.

And the thoughts of Ye Chen grew even more serene.

Whether it was the token from the selection that truly frightened those disciples from Hundred Treasures Sect, or if it scared Elder Wang, Elder Wang never showed up--in fact, no one from Hundred Treasures Sect did.

But Ye Chen still didn't return to his room.

Maybe it was after the succession of tests in Qianlian Cave Mansion, the battle with Qingyun Sect, and the sudden calm after the inn fight.

The night wind caressed Ye Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the pinnacle of Heavenly Wind Tower, and he gradually closed his eyes, entering into a wonderful state of oblivion.

In this amazing state, countless streams of heaven and earth's True Qi from several miles around Tianfeng Tower Inn, with Ye Chen at the center, surged towards him.

There was no wild roaring rush of True Qi like before, but rather as silent and nurturing as a soft rain, under the cover of the tranquil night and the infusion of countless streams of heaven and earth's True Qi, the vortex of True Qi within Ye Chen's Sea of Qi once again underwent qualitative change and increased in size. Ye Chen had officially entered the Seventh Layer of True Qi Realm!

When the first light of dawn shone upon Tianfeng Tower Inn, Ye Chen opened his eyes.

He gazed at Qizhou City under the morning glow, smiled faintly, and then flew back directly to the seventh-floor corridor.

Not long after, when he heard sounds of his father, mother, and Tao'er's room as they began to rise early, Ye Chen looked towards Qingyang City.

"Today, after half a day's journey, we will be able to return home!"
