Chapter 643 - 595: The Ancestral Behest!
Zhou Yue had never seen a boy younger than herself who was so powerful!
Zhou Yue had never seen a late-stage Heavenly Saint teenager, about seventeen or eighteen years old, capable of slaughtering a Nine Tribulations True God!
At that moment, when she looked at Ye Chen again, the girl no longer felt like she was looking at the same reckless boy as before; she finally understood why Ye Chen had been wandering through the Blood Moon Forest as if nothing mattered.
What recklessness?
That was clearly the sign of true great strength, a total fearlessness of everything within the Blood Moon Forest; that’s why he was so composed!
When Zhou Yue looked at Ye Chen again, a hint of admiration even emerged in her beautiful eyes.
"Ye Chen, finding the Blood Moon Stone earlier was your doing, wasn’t it? It was not just some ’intuition’, right?" Zhou Yue gently spoke to Ye Chen.
Zhou Yue now understood that the so-called intuition was just an excuse Ye Chen made up; a youth who could defeat a Nine Tribulations True God was certainly capable of finding the Blood Moon Stone that they couldn’t see themselves!
Upon hearing Zhou Yue’s words, Ye Chen looked at Xiaojiu on his shoulder and smiled, "That wasn’t my merit; it was all thanks to Xiaojiu!"
Xiaojiu?
Zhou Yue remembered the little sparrow on Ye Chen’s shoulder that had transformed into a giant azure sparrow even more mystical than the "Blood Winged Eight-Clawed Dragon," and a tremor of astonishment couldn’t help but flicker through her eyes.
Indeed, a remarkable youth, with such a miraculous sparrow as a companion! @@novelbin@@
Seeing Zhou Yue’s astonished gaze, Xiaojiu on Ye Chen’s shoulder smiled softly and rubbed its small head against Ye Chen’s neck.
Xiaojiu found that after arriving in the Divine Kingdom, it was indeed much more interesting than at the Undersea Divine Palace.
Now, being able to make the martial artists of the Divine Kingdom look up to her with such admiration and shock was quite a delightful feeling, giving Xiaojiu a slight sense of pride.
Xiaojiu also knew that by accompanying Ye Chen, in the future she might not just impress and awe divine warriors like Zhou Yue from the Divine Kingdom. Perhaps, given the chance, she could awe and earn the admiration of Divine Kings and Divine Venerables of the Divine Kingdom!
"That would be even more interesting," Xiaojiu thought to herself.
Zhou Yue, with the shyness of a young girl, was still able to converse normally with Ye Chen, but the other members of the Zhou Family, when they looked at Ye Chen, appeared completely shaken, as if they were about to faint.
Zhou Dun, Zhou Yue’s little brother, looked at Ye Chen with eyes full of reverence akin to those reserved for a Divine King, unreachable for him, "Brother Ye Chen, you are... simply too incredible!"
"How did you cultivate to become so powerful!"
The six middle-aged members of the Zhou Family also deeply bowed to Ye Chen, expressing their utmost respect.
If it weren’t for Ye Chen, they might have perished at the hands of the Blood Winged Eight-Clawed Dragon, becoming just another pile of bones in that desolate space!
"Brother Ye Chen, thank you for saving our lives!"
However, they were also puzzled—how could someone as powerful as Ye Chen be accompanying them and willingly help them collect the Blood Moon Stones?
Such a significant figure logically shouldn’t care about small fries like them! Read new adventures at NovelBin.Côm
"Brother Ye Chen, why are you so kind to us? Not only did you help us find Blood Moon Stones, but you also helped us deal with the Blood Winged Eight-Clawed Dragon?" Zhou Tianhao couldn’t help but voice his confusion.
"Yes, Brother Ye Chen, why have you been helping us all along, and even found so many Blood Moon Stones for my sister!" When Zhou Dun heard his father’s words, he too wondered aloud.
The young boy even thought, could it be that this Brother Ye Chen fancied his sister and thus lent a hand?
"My sister’s beauty is among the top tier in Fallen Moon City, many young men from the great powers there want to pursue my sister. It’s not impossible for Brother Ye Chen to have taken a fancy to her." With this thought, Zhou Dun involuntarily glanced at his sister Zhou Yue.
Zhou Yue felt both shy and annoyed under Zhou Dun’s gaze, realizing the implication in her brother’s eyes.
When the girl looked at Ye Chen again, her face unconsciously blushed, and she even harbored a little thought in the bottom of her heart.
Could it be that this powerful youth, Ye Chen, had truly taken a liking to her?
That was the only reason that made sense for why he would help her.
Hearing Zhou Tianhao’s inquiry and seeing Zhou Yue and Zhou Dun’s expressions, Ye Chen couldn’t help but smile.
He knew that if he didn’t explain, the misunderstanding might deepen.
"These people of the Zhou Family have a good moral character."
"It’s also time to tell them about the matter of the Divine King predecessor."
With that thought, Ye Chen didn’t say much more. He extended his hand, and layers of the formidable aura of the Icebound Divine Body burst forth from his palm.
At the same time, Ye Chen smiled at Zhou Tianhao, Zhou Yue, and the others, saying, "You should recognize this aura, I believe."
When the Zhou Family witnessed the surging aura on Ye Chen’s palm, which could freeze the air, exhibiting an incredibly powerful presence, they were almost jumping with shock.
"This... this is the Icebound Divine Body?!" Zhou Tianhao exclaimed in disbelief, "Brother Ye Chen, how do you have the Icebound Divine Body! This divine body can only be cultivated by the core offspring of our family!"
What shocked Zhou Tianhao even more was that the Icebound Divine Body wielded by Ye Chen was evidently more powerful than the version passed down through their family legacy.
And Zhou Yue’s mind suddenly recalled a family legend.
The legend said that the Icebound Divine Body was left by their ancestor, a powerful Lower God King. Initially, the ancestor only left the first volume, which contained the basics of the Icebound Divine Body. After the ancestor advanced to Middle God King, he transmitted back to the family the second volume of the technique.
Our ancestor also said that once he broke through to Upper God King or even Divine Venerable and restored the Icebound Divine Body, he would pass it all back to our family.
Unfortunately, after the ancestor disappeared, he never returned, and the Icebound Divine Body only circulated within the Zhou Family for the first two volumes.
Now, seeing the Icebound Divine Body in Ye Chen’s hands, which clearly seems more powerful than the first two volumes, Zhou Yue immediately speculated. Could it be that Ye Chen is a descendant of our ancestor, and that’s why he possesses the Icebound Divine Body?!
Could it be that after tens of thousands of years, news of our ancestor has surfaced again?!
For the Zhou Family, tens of thousands of years meant many generations had passed, but for an almighty God King like their ancestor, it was nothing!
At this thought, Zhou Yue’s jade hands began to tremble with excitement.
If their ancestor, the powerful God King, returned, their Zhou Family would no longer be a lower-tier force in Fallen Moon City!
Then she, her brother, and the young ones in their family could go to practice in Circulation of Heaven Divine City or even in a better Divine City!
Even their entire family might be able to return to Circulation of Heaven Divine City!
Keep in mind that the most powerful in Circulation of Heaven Divine City was merely a Lower God King, and their ancestor was known to have broken through to Middle God King long ago. Now, after tens of thousands of years, they didn’t know how powerful their ancestor had become!
"Ye Chen, are you really a descendant of our ancestor? Is our ancestor coming back?!" Zhou Yue asked excitedly.
When the others from the Zhou Family heard the word "ancestor," they too were reminded of the ancestor who had left behind the Icebound Divine Body, which was part of their family lore.
This miraculous youth possessed the Icebound Divine Body technique, which was even more powerful than the one passed down in their family, and had been helping them all along.
It was very likely that indeed a descendant of their ancestor had returned!
"Ancestor! Could it be that our ancestor is still alive?!" Zhou Tianhao was on the verge of tears, "Young Brother Ye Chen, did our ancestor send you to find us?!"
For many years, the Zhou Family had been declining and suffered much oppression.
They thought their ancestor had long since passed away, having not seen him for so many years.
But now, they had encountered someone who carried the legacy of their ancestor’s technique!
If their ancestor returned, that would be wonderful. Then, he could help the entire Zhou Family rise up again!
Seeing the eight members of the Zhou Family so agitated, Ye Chen sighed inwardly.
He knew how desperately the declining Zhou Family longed for the return of a powerful ancestor.
"If I tell them that the Icebound God King predcessor died at the hands of Ni Shan God King, they might fall into despair."
"Well, then, let me avenge the predecessor Icebound God King by dealing with Ni Shan God King myself!"
"Just to give the people of the Zhou Family something to remember and hope for. Only with hope will they practice even harder with the eventual emergence of a new God King or even a Divine Venerable to uphold the entire family. By then, knowing the predecessor is gone, they will be able to accept it!"
Thinking this, Ye Chen smiled and said to the excited Zhou Tianhao, Zhou Yue, and the others, "Yes, although I’m not a true disciple of ’Zhou Liuxu’ predecessor, I have received his great legacy and can be considered half a disciple."
"’Zhou Liuxu’ predecessor is currently in a hidden place practicing and is not able to return. He instructed me to hand over the complete Icebound Divine Body to you and will also pass on a treasure he left in the Divine Kingdom. Predecessor asked me to tell you to practice diligently and make our family stronger!"
Sometimes, benevolent deception is better.
When they heard their ancestor’s name "Zhou Liuxu," when they heard Ye Chen say he came to help them because of their ancestor, when they heard the aspirations of their ancestor conveyed by Ye Chen, the eight members of the Zhou Family cried out in excitement, "Our ancestor is alive, truly alive!"
Zhou Liuxu was their ancestor’s name!
If he wasn’t the heir of their ancestor, how could he possibly know!
"We have failed our ancestor deeply. Ever since he left, our family has been in decline."
"But this generation has seen Yue’er and Dun’er, whose talents are no less than the younger generation of other God Kings. What we lack are resources for cultivation, the very resources we long to give them to practice. We do wish to become powerful, but we just haven’t had the chance!"
"Collecting Blood Moon Stones desperately is all for letting Yue’er study in the Divine Institute to cultivate, all so that the family may produce another powerful being to lead us to greater prosperity!"
"Ancestor, we definitely will not let you down!"
Zhou Tianhao resolved in his heart; armed with their ancestor’s complete Icebound Divine Body technique and the treasures he left, they would train the young generation of the family to make the entire family more prosperous!
They needed such an opportunity.
Now, their ancestor had brought them hope, and of course, they had to cherish it!
If they allowed their family to fall into decay as their previous family ancestors had done, they would indeed be the great sinners of their family!
Boom!
As Ye Chen watched their excitement, he smiled, waved his sleeve, and the Divine Cauldron—imprinted with the cultivation runes of the complete Icebound Divine Body technique, obtained from the main hall of the Icebound Temple—landed in front of the eight Zhou Family members.
Ye Chen had already memorized the full technique of the Icebound Divine Body, and he possessed the even more precious Undying Divine Body to cultivate. He decided to fulfill the trust of the Icebound God King and leave this treasure for the Zhou Family members.
"This ’Divine Cauldron’ contains the complete technique of the Icebound Divine Body. With this technique, if you practice well, producing another God King is not out of reach!"
"Later, you can assign someone to accompany me to retrieve the treasure that Zhou Liuxu predecessor left behind. Use the treasure’s resources to cultivate more powerful beings for our family!"
Ye Chen said to the Zhou family members directly.
What do you think?
