Chapter 841: Chapter 840: [Has the Curse Power Really Been Broken?]

“You have merely completed the initial stage of self-purification and bone cleansing. To truly embark on the path of cultivation, it depends on whether you can draw in the spiritual energy from the outside world, convert it into martial arts true power, and store it in your dantian. If you can do this, you will become martial artists in the future and start your true cultivation!” Ye Tianchen said seriously to the four disciples.

“Yes, Master!” The four disciples replied in unison.

Feng Chan, Cai Meier, Tian Feng, and Ming Jue, these four children have high potential and comprehension, among them, Feng Chan is the most formidable, clearing the most impurities within his body and condensing martial arts true power in his dantian the fastest, closely followed by Cai Meier. It truly astonishes people that a girl has such talent.

Swish!

Ye Tianchen activated the “Holy Heaven Prison,” from which a crystalline stone emerged, radiating strong spiritual energy. Everyone could feel the vitality-filled force. This was obtained from Bai Song, who was left with only a head, having no courage to lie to Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen only needed a finger to obliterate him completely, leaving no room for negotiation. He could only comply.

“Come, the spiritual energy within this spirit stone is very abundant. Use your divine thought to guide and absorb as much as you can into your body!” Ye Tianchen said.

The five child disciples sat cross-legged below the spirit stone, each immersing in their divine thought, using it to explore and draw the powerful spiritual energy from the stone, little by little into their bodies, converting it into martial arts true power, storing it in their dantian. This was essential for them to become martial artists. Without the ability to freely use and replenish martial arts true power, one cannot become a qualified martial artist.

Buzz!

The spirit stone trembled, and a thread of strong spiritual energy was first absorbed by Feng Chan into his body. In an instant, his whole body surged with power, giving off a feeling of steadiness despite being only seven years old. The first spiritual energy he absorbed was as thick as a thumb, surprising Ye Tianchen. To absorb external spiritual energy for the first time and use divine thought like this, Feng Chan’s talent is high. He might be the strongest among the five disciples.

Next was Cai Meier, after Feng Chan drew a thumb-thick thread of spiritual energy into the spirit stone, she activated her divine thought and absorbed her pinky-thick thread of spiritual energy into her body, also smoothly converting it into martial arts true power. Tian Feng and Ming Jue followed, only drawing a hairline-thick thread of spiritual energy into their bodies but also smoothly converting it into martial arts true power, storing it in their dantian. However, the amount of spiritual energy absorbed and the time taken to convert it into martial arts true power were slower than Feng Chan and Cai Meier.

This time, for Desolate Stone Village and these five child disciples, Ye Tianchen went all out, passing on the introductory cultivation method from the Yijin Jing to them, and also brought out spirit stones he prepared for breaking through realms for them, laying a solid foundation for their future cultivation path.

Boom!

Suddenly, just when Ye Tianchen thought the curse power cast by the Demon God on Desolate Stone Village had disappeared and the tragic events of a hundred thousand years ago wouldn’t recur, a loud explosion struck. The “Holy Heaven Prison” covering over a hundred villagers trembled violently, a mysterious force from unknown origin blasted forth, even Ye Tianchen was astounded. The force seemed not to be from Earth but from foreign domains, it was astonishing. Earth’s ancient transmission array was destroyed, martial artists inside couldn’t get out, external martial artists couldn’t come in, so how did this force enter? What mysterious divine arts is this?

Ye Tianchen didn’t have time to think further. He felt the eerie force had a tendency to penetrate the “Holy Heaven Prison,” causing the villagers covered by the prison to perish. At once, he moved his thoughts, causing chaotic power within the prison to surge out, forming a solid light screen protecting the over hundred villagers.

Puff!

Puff!

Puff!

Puff!

However, just when Ye Tianchen took protective measures, over a hundred villagers, including the old village chief, fell to the ground, spitting blood, barely alive, severely injured and near dying. What was going on? What kind of power was this? It didn’t directly strike them; why are their lives at risk? Is this the same as a hundred thousand years ago? Will the tragedy repeat?

“Which coward dares to emerge for a fight!” Ye Tianchen shouted loudly. His voice penetrated space, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. He used the eight diagrams seal divine arts to identify the source of the eerie force.

“The bloodline power is exceptionally strong; these people don’t deserve to have it in the first place, and now they dare tread the cultivation path, they shall be annihilated!” A tremendously powerful voice echoed, piercing to the ears, shocking Ye Tianchen—could it be the Demon God who cursed Desolate Stone Village still exists?

“No, if these Demon Gods still existed, the villagers of Desolate Stone Village would have been exterminated long ago. It’s impossible for anyone to have survived. This should be just a force left behind by those Demon Gods hundreds of thousands of years ago. Today, when the five child disciples of Desolate Stone Village embarked on the path of cultivation, this force sensed it and came to exterminate the villagers of Desolate Stone Village,” Ye Tianchen said coldly and resolutely.

Rumble!

A mysterious force descended oppressively. More than a hundred villagers of Desolate Stone Village had already collapsed to the ground, each one barely clinging to life. This mysterious force seemed specifically capable of stirring the Bloodline Power within the villagers, causing their internal energies to surge wildly, posing a danger of self-destruction.

Swish!

Ye Tianchen fully activated the Chaotic Power within the ‘Holy Heaven Prison,’ enveloping more than a hundred villagers within it. At the same time, he clenched his fists tightly and unleashed the Vajra Divine Fist. He didn’t know where this mysterious force came from or where it resided; the only option was to punch every corner to disperse it, in order to save the lives of these more than a hundred villagers.

Bang!

With a final explosion, Ye Tianchen sat cross-legged in mid-air, his body glowing with golden light, yet covered in wounds. He was activating the Martial Arts True Power within him to heal his injuries. Below was a cloud of dust, enveloping four child disciples within, though Ye Tianchen was unaware of what transpired. However, he could sense the aura of these four disciples, which indicated they were alright.

An hour later, Ye Tianchen stood up, looking deeply at the sky, pondering. The dust below had also dispersed. The four child disciples had undergone a complete transformation, their spirits refreshed. It seemed they had absorbed the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stones, converting it into Martial Arts True Power. Their talents were exceptional, with the most formidable being Feng Chan, who absorbed the Spirit Stones into his body and ingested the most Spiritual Energy from them.

“Master, what about the villagers?” Cai Meier was the first to ask with concern.

“They’re fine, although injured, they are not in life-threatening danger!” Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

“That’s great!”

“Truly wonderful!”

Ye Tianchen smiled faintly, yet couldn’t feel happy. Although the children of Desolate Stone Village had embarked on the path of cultivation, avoiding the tragedy of a hundred thousand years ago, it still gave him the feeling that a storm was bound to erupt sooner or later. That mysterious force was too powerful; just this force alone was almost enough to kill him. If it weren’t for the ‘Holy Heaven Prison’ protecting the villagers, today would likely have ended in disaster!

Indeed, Ye Tianchen’s speculation was correct. The sinister and powerful oppressive force just now wasn’t brought by the Demon Gods themselves, but rather a force left behind on Earth by these Demon Gods. Upon sensing someone in Desolate Stone Village embarking on cultivation, it activated the Bloodline Power to execute an extinction task. If the Demon Gods had truly arrived, with Ye Tianchen’s current cultivation realm, not even ten of him would be a match, only facing inevitable demise.

Subsequently, Ye Tianchen activated the ‘Holy Heaven Prison,’ releasing the villagers of Desolate Stone Village. Protected by the Chaos Qi and thanks to Ye Tianchen confronting the mysterious force immediately, eventually dispersing it, he preserved their lives, preventing the tragedy of a hundred thousand years ago from recurring.

The villagers of Desolate Stone Village gradually regained consciousness. They had won, they had succeeded, having fought without regret despite the risk of death. There were cheers, jubilation, and tears of joy. The Curse Power that had tormented them for generations was broken today; they no longer had to endure a fate where they couldn’t cultivate and were at mercy. At least, there were descendants who could now cultivate, representing hope and opportunity for Desolate Stone Village.

“Brother Ye, we are truly grateful. You saved all of us from Desolate Stone Village, helping us break the Curse Power. You are eternally a benefactor of our village, the master of these five children!” The old village chief said to Ye Tianchen sincerely.

“Grandpa Shi, although the Curse Power may have dissipated, the Bloodline Power will still remain. The continuation of Desolate Stone Village cannot be like other people and species,” Ye Tianchen sighed as he spoke.

“It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, the Curse Power has been broken, and I believe one day, the Bloodline Power can be broken too. Now, there are five children able to cultivate, their talents are exceptional; I believe they will make a mark in this Martial Arts Great World and will eventually find a way to break the Bloodline Power, I’m confident!” The old village chief said, excited and confident.

“Grandpa Shi, actually, Little Shitou he…” Ye Tianchen hesitated to speak out, but felt he had to. Keeping it hidden would only bring greater sorrow to the old village chief and Little Shitou in the future. .)
