"Mu Qingqing."
"So many people."
After flying out of the Divine Sword, Ye Chen saw Mu Qingqing flying towards him and noticed the dense swarm of disciples from Tai'a Sword Sect floating in the void outside the sword.
He even saw many powerful characters from the Heavenly Saint Realm!
However, Ye Chen was not too surprised.
Back when the Divine Sword Spirit handed over the "Beiming Secret Tome" to Ye Chen, it had already mentioned the disturbance caused outside due to the number of his Divine Soul Innate Potential. The Sword Spirit had cautioned Ye Chen to simply state that his Divine Soul Innate Potential was three thousand seven hundred and twenty-six.
He was advised not to reveal his true Divine Soul Innate Potential to others, to avoid unnecessary jealousy.
Now, seeing so many people outside, Ye Chen instantly understood that it was probably because of the more than three thousand Divine Soul Innate Potentials he had displayed that had drawn so much attention.
"Ye Chen, you have finally come out of the Divine Sword. How has it been, did you gain anything from a month of cultivation?"
"I didn't expect your Divine Soul Innate Potential to be so high, just slightly less than Palace Master Yuan Li of our Heavenly Sacred Palace, who is the strongest. It's like being above ten thousand people, just below one person!"
Mu Qingqing flew to Ye Chen's side and chattered at him non-stop.
Ye Chen smiled and nodded at Mu Qingqing, "Thanks to you for bringing me here to the Divine Sword. This time inside the sword, I indeed made great gains, as I have successfully comprehended a high-level sword formation to a high degree of proficiency."
As for Palace Master Yuan Li mentioned by Mu Qingqing, Ye Chen had indeed heard of him from the Sword Spirit. He was a prominent figure who had performed exceedingly well in the "Ancient Path with Flickering Lamps" of the Divine Sword, a legendary presence in the late stages of the Heavenly Saint Realm.
Mu Qingqing said Ye Chen's Divine Soul Innate Potential was a little less than that of Palace Master Yuan Li, but Ye Chen did not point it out. Of course, he wouldn't claim to be stronger than Palace Master Yuan Li.
After all, the Divine Sword Spirit had seen his Divine Soul Innate Potential and had blessed him with the invaluable "Beiming Secret Tome." There was no need to boast about his true Divine Soul Innate Potential to others.
Seeing Ye Chen's confident and relaxed smile, Mu Qingqing's eyes shone brightly.
The clever glint in the girl's eyes as she pondered, "Looks like Ye Chen must have made no small gains inside the Divine Sword!"
"Previously, Ye Chen was able to overpower those in the mid-stage of Rotating Pill Realm and even contend with those in the late-stage. Now, there probably aren't many in the late-stage Rotating Pill Realm who could be a match for him. It looks like I need to find an opportunity to test Ye Chen's true strength again!"
"This time, the disturbance caused by Ye Chen's Divine Soul Innate Potential was so significant. Why not let the disturbance grow even bigger, to astonish the other envoys of the Heavenly Sacred Palace with the true genius I've selected..."
As the girl mulled over her thoughts like a crafty little fox, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder and the Heavenly Saints of the Tai'a Sword Sect also approached Ye Chen.
The people who came were the real movers and shakers of the Tai'a Sword Sect. There were three in the mid-stage of the Heavenly Saint Realm and even more in the early stage—nine in total!
The top forces of the Tai'a Sword Sect alone were stronger than all the combined strong individuals from the Southern and Western Wilderness!
Even as these prominent figures approached Ye Chen with smiles and subdued auras, Ye Chen still felt an overwhelming sense of pressure washing over him.
Beings of the Heavenly Saint Realm!
These are the most prestigious existence on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, the most distinguished figures!
"Ye Chen, with your speed being so fast, I suspect your combat power is not ordinary either. Although I'm in the mid-stage of Rotating Pill, my combat power is enough to contend with late-stage cultivators. I want to have a full-force battle with you!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A stream of Rotating Pill figures densely filled the sky and flew towards him, swarming around Ye Chen like flies.It wasn't just these Rotating Pill realm powerhouses, even more Spirit Sea realm martial artists surged towards Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen, like us, you are in the Spirit Sea realm. I don't believe you're that strong. I want to challenge you as a fellow Spirit Sea cultivator!" Discover exclusive tales on m,v l'e-novelhall.net
"Swordsmanship, Ye Chen, I've heard you've cultivated a high-level sword array. Our Tai'a Sword Sect is famous for its swordsmanship. Do you dare compete with me in swordsmanship?"
"Ye Chen, and me, I want to challenge you too..."
The clamor of challenges filled the space outside the Divine Sword, brimming with noise.
Ye Chen looked at each figure, at these Tai'a Sword Sect disciples who could no longer restrain themselves from challenging him.
A surge of fighting spirit welled up in Ye Chen's heart!
He knew why these disciples were challenging him—it was because he was strong enough!
Strong enough that passing by the Tai'a Sword Sect had caught the attention of all its talented disciples, stirring their impulse to exchange blows with him.
There was a time when Ye Chen was the one challenging the strong.
Now, he had become the powerhouse that countless others wanted to challenge!
There was a time when Ye Chen was just a nominal disciple of an eighth-grade sect.
Now, even within the third-grade Tai'a Sword Sect, he could draw the gaze of all the talented disciples!
He had even been valued by the strongest second-grade sect in the central region of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent and chosen to be in the most powerful First Holy Temple!
All of these were the achievements of Ye Chen's cultivation over the years.
It was precisely through repeated arduous training and opportunities that he had been able to stand where he was today.
And Ye Chen had no intention of stopping. He had a much longer path to traverse. He had made a promise to Jiang Yao and the Divine Sword Spirit—to step into the Heavenly Saint realm, to go to the Minor Spirit Realm, and he would fulfill it!
Even beyond that, there was an even broader future waiting for him—one where he would surpass the Heavenly Saints and exceed the realm of the True Gods of the Void Sky. He was ready to fight for it!
His fighting spirit surging, Ye Chen looked at each face that was challenging him.
Whether they were in the Rotating Pill or Spirit Sea realm, Ye Chen would not shy away from the fight.
As Ye Chen was considering how to arrange the bouts with these Tai'a Sword Sect disciples, Mu Qingqing, the girl beside him, with a sly twinkle in her eyes, spoke up before Ye Chen could, addressing the Tai'a Sword Sect crowd.
Clearly, the girl had something to say!
