Chapter 963: Chapter 962 [Ye Tianchen Was Eaten…]

“Since the Divine Thought can’t detect Wuxue and their aura, I’ll have to try this move… Celestial Vision and Earth Hearing Technique!”

When Ye Tianchen arrived at the entrance of the Ancient Martial World on Song Mountain and released his powerful Divine Thought, he still couldn’t find Wuxue and the others’ aura. In the end, he used a Martial Arts Divine Skill recorded in the Yijin Jing, known as the “Celestial Vision and Earth Hearing,” an extremely powerful technique. Ye Tianchen had just recently cultivated this technique to some degree. Currently, if he could sense even the slightest hint of an aura, he could trace it back to its source. According to the Yijin Jing, when cultivated to Great Success, this “Celestial Vision and Earth Hearing” technique could even restore the scene of a place at a certain time, depending on the user’s cultivation level. The higher the cultivation, the more profound the insights. If one reached the Emperor Level, they could restore events that happened in ancient times, which is truly terrifying. For a Martial Artist, understanding the secrets of this Martial Arts World, finding a Cultivation Treasure, and tracking Immortal Elixirs for longevity are immensely beneficial.

Inside the “Body Vajra Formation,” Ye Tianchen had leafed through the Yijin Jing and saw the miraculous aspects of this Martial Arts Divine Skill, so he had specifically cultivated it. Little did he expect that it would be useful now; otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to track down Wuxue and the others.

As soon as the Celestial Vision and Earth Hearing Technique was deployed, Ye Tianchen indeed caught a trace of Wuxue’s aura. However, to his surprise, the aura of the eight people was dispersed, and Hu Gao’s aura was among them. As for another presence, filled with malice and power, Ye Tianchen speculated it was the one attacking Wuxue and the others.

After detecting these auras, Ye Tianchen speculated a bit. On that day, Wuxue and the others, following his advice, were cultivating at the entrance, not wandering around, yet someone had discovered them. This person seemed to target them specifically, moving directly to the place where Wuxue and the others were staying without any delay. It seemed likely to be one of his enemies, and among them, the Blood Killing Organization and the Nine Netherworld came to Ye Tianchen’s mind. As for the Five Poison Sect, he had already wiped them out. Even if there were still some Five Poison Sect disciples outside, none would dare oppose him, especially since even the Great Elder Du Mie of the Five Poison Sect died by his hand, and no one in the Five Poison Sect could surpass Du Mie’s strength.

This malicious and powerful aura didn’t make any stops; it went directly to confront Wuxue and the others. Just as it was about to engage in slaughter, Hu Gao’s aura emerged. Naturally, Hu Gao fought with this person, but despite wielding the Martial Saint Treasure Jade Rope, he couldn’t fend off this person’s attacks and was ultimately defeated. Though Hu Gao was usually unreliable, he knew to let Wuxue and the others escape first in crucial moments…

Ye Tianchen frowned, walked to the edge of a cliff, and using the Celestial Vision and Earth Hearing Technique, sensed that Wuxue and the others had already escaped. After persevering in a battle with this cruel person for an hour, Hu Gao was ultimately overcome and knocked down a ten-thousand-zhang cliff. For some unknown reason, this malignant person did not pursue further and left.

Whoosh!

Ye Tianchen flashed and arrived at the bottom of the ten-thousand-zhang cliff. Rather than standing on the ground, he landed on the water surface, only to find a Deep Pond at the base of the cliff, indicating that Hu Gao, after falling, might have plunged into the Deep Pond.

Without any hesitation, Ye Tianchen considered Hu Gao a friend, a brother, despite his unreliability. In a flash, he dove towards the bottom of the Deep Pond, searching for Hu Gao. What he didn’t expect was that this Deep Pond appeared bottomless. As he dove deeper, he felt an unbearable coldness, as if he was about to suffocate. Even at the Martial Saint Realm, the chill penetrated him, so his physical body struggled against it. The chilling water of the Deep Pond was truly unimaginable. Ye Tianchen slowly mobilized a stream of Martial Arts True Power from his Dantian, covering his body in a golden glow, a smaller application of the “Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill,” to resist the water in the Deep Pond. He had no idea where this water came from, but it chilled him deeply, as if freezing his soul.

After diving for an hour, Ye Tianchen reached the very depths of the Deep Pond and saw a structure resembling a palace. Shocked, he wondered who had built it. Was anyone living here? After plunging over ten-thousand meters deep for more than an hour, to find inhabitants and a building in this place was staggering.

Beneath the ten-thousand-zhang cliff’s Deep Pond, seemingly bottomless, Ye Tianchen, after diving for over an hour, discovered a palace-like structure, leaving him stupefied. Could someone reside below? Perhaps a powerful Martial Artist? Or maybe a world-renowned figure was in seclusion here? It was certainly no ordinary human; ordinary people would freeze to death just entering this water, let alone reaching such depths.

Ye Tianchen arrived at the very bottom of the Deep Pond, standing before the palace. The entire palace was constructed of enormous stones, domineering and magnificent. The palace’s main gate was a huge stone gate, with dragon-like sculptures on each side that Ye Tianchen studied for a long time. These sculptures were peculiar, neither dragon nor dragon but resembled another kind of dragon.

“Could Hu Gao be inside?” Ye Tianchen pondered as he released a powerful Divine Thought to explore.

Buzz!

Ye Tianchen frowned slightly. When he extended his formidable Divine Thought, it was actually blocked by some mysterious Formation within the stone palace. You have to know, he has already reached the Martial Saint Realm, and is considered powerful. His Divine Thought is also very strong, yet it was blocked. This is the first time something like this has happened. What exactly is inside this stone palace?

“Ye Tianchen visiting!” Ye Tianchen used his Martial Arts True Power to shout loudly.

The entire water surface fluctuated, spreading outward from Ye Tianchen as the center. Ye Tianchen’s Martial Arts Cultivation had reached a self-enlightened level, exceptionally strong. His talent and perception were truly impressive.

After a loud shout, Ye Tianchen did not receive any response, and couldn’t help but frown, thinking: Is this place uninhabited? Was it once a place for a prominent figure’s cultivation, with a Formation set up, but after the passage of time, it fell into this Cold Pond?

Whoosh!

A water column attacked Ye Tianchen with strong killing intent. Don’t be fooled by the fact that it’s just a water column; it gave Ye Tianchen a feeling of being unstoppable. At the moment, he punched towards it.

Bang!

The water column suddenly attacking from the stone palace was shattered by Ye Tianchen’s punch. Ye Tianchen coldly looked at the stone palace, he could confirm that there was definitely someone or perhaps some creature inside. Just now, his Divine Thought clearly sensed a powerful force, even comparable to his own. Unexpectedly, there’s a powerful hidden presence inside here. It seems that Earth was once a flourishing world of cultivation, experiencing so many eras, and so many prodigies appeared. Even until today, some inexplicable powerful presences are still hidden, the secrets of Earth are worth exploring not only now, but also from Ancient times and Archaic eras.

“Since the stone gate won’t open, I’ll come in directly. Pardon my intrusion!”

Ye Tianchen shouted loudly, gathering the Martial Arts True Power of the Overlord Fist in his right hand, and punched towards the big stone gate of the stone palace. The giant stone gate shattered upon impact. At this moment, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t be polite, the person inside the stone palace actually ambushed him, trying to use the unstoppable water column to attack. Just based on this action, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t have a good impression and wouldn’t be polite.

After punching through the giant stone gate, Ye Tianchen didn’t hesitate, swiftly stepping inside. At this moment, the aura of his Overlord Fist deepened, like an unstoppable overlord, striding into the stone palace. However, when Ye Tianchen entered the stone palace, he found that there was no one inside, nor did he see Hu Gao, nor sense Hu Gao’s presence. Could it be that after falling, Hu Gao didn’t drop into the Cold Pond, but left while injured, hiding somewhere to heal?

Rumble!

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen felt the ground shaking, startling him, and the surroundings around him changed entirely. The decorations and stone walls turned into scales and fangs, incredibly terrifying, emitting a foul smell. Ye Tianchen was stunned, shocked inwardly: Bad, I’ve fallen into a trap!

At this moment, a terrifying scene unfolded, Ye Tianchen had already charged into the stone palace, and the palace suddenly transformed into a giant head, extremely ugly, disgusting to the extreme, constantly emitting waves of black smoke and stench. The entire stone palace changed, turning into a “dragon” of unknown size and length. This “dragon” looked ugly and terrifying, immense and overwhelming, it turned into a giant stone palace, deceiving Ye Tianchen. Even Ye Tianchen didn’t realize this, rashly charging into the stone palace, actually entering the mouth of this “dragon,” Ye Tianchen was eaten… (To be continued.
