Supreme Sword God

Chapter 980: Chapter 979: Spirit Master Fan Jun, Barrier Array Obstruction

Ye Chen calmly cultivated in the secluded chamber.

Although Bai Kai roughly understood Ye Chen’s plan, he still felt uneasy.

It’s too risky!

Trading interests with Mei the Third Aunt from the Seventy-Two Islands, this relationship, in Bai Kai’s view, was too unstable and could go wrong at any moment.

Bai Yi had gone through a lot of trouble to set things up, but his backup plan was still unknown.

After waiting for most of the day, Bai Kai finally couldn’t stand doing nothing any longer. He left the chamber to connect with all the forces available within Aurora Island.

For instance, the group led by his third sister.

Ye Chen was alone in the chamber.

He actually had two major hidden cards.

First, the old turtle in the forbidden area of Aurora Island.

If he encountered a life-or-death crisis, the old turtle wouldn’t stand idly by.

Second, something with ill intentions in the ninth coffin of the Nine Celestial Burial Coffins still wanted to use him to stir up trouble and couldn’t just watch him perish.

Absolutely no fear!

Just compete with Bai Yi and see who laughs last!

It was at this moment.

An audio message from Luo Qingyi appeared in Ye Chen’s mind.

Over on Celestial Burial Sea, those at Sword Tomb were very cautious, and a message definitely meant big news.

”Miss Qing, what’s the matter?” Ye Chen responded via the audio message.

Luo Qingyi: ”Your Lifebound Sword is almost complete.”

Ye Chen’s face immediately showed excitement.

Last time offshore, from a divine stone, he obtained a divine sword fragment, then attempted to fuse it with his Lifebound Celestial Mark Sword at the supreme level of the Dao Sword.

After so long, it was finally about to succeed!

”Don’t celebrate too soon,” Master Legs’ voice interrupted, dampening his excitement, ”Though your sword can easily advance to a sacred sword by fusing with a divine sword fragment, that fragment carries a corrosive aura of decay spanning ages.”

Ye Chen’s expression darkened, his mood dropping from the peak to the valley in an instant.

A problem with the Lifebound Sword was no small matter!

”Master Legs, do you have a solution?”

”I do,” Master Legs replied, confident and unequivocal, ”Do you remember the sword pool you saw at the Cangzhou Celestial Soldier Pavilion? Use its power to infuse your new Celestial Mark Sword with vitality, removing the aura of decay from the divine sword fragment!”

”Can it wait a bit? I’m currently dealing with something urgent.”

Master Legs: ”The sooner the better. The longer it’s delayed, the more likely irreversible risks will emerge.”

”Got it!”

On Aurora Island, there’s a sword pool, and nearly a hundred sacred swords.

Previously, Bai Yi had mentioned giving Ye Chen a sacred sword, hoping to catch a big fish with a long line, but Ye Chen refused. And it turned out that Bai Yi’s promise of a set of sacred swords was completely nonexistent.

Now, it’s time to visit the sword pool once again!

...

”Isle Master Bai, my Sword Dao is somewhat unique, and I need a great amount of Sword Qi to heal my wounds, so I wish to borrow the sword pool on Aurora Island.”

Having found Bai Yi, Ye Chen made his request known.

Bai Yi looked troubled and said, ”Young Master Ye, under normal circumstances, I would agree without hesitation, but the situation is special now. I’ve already had a new array set up on Aurora Island to prevent Mei the Third Aunt from raiding us, and the core of this new array is our Aurora Island sword pool...”

Ye Chen: ”Isle Master Bai, rest assured, I have a handle on it and won’t affect the operation of your array.”

Bai Yi: ”Young Master Ye, the one who set up that array is a guest official from our Aurora Island, and his temperament is peculiar. He agreed to help only after my persistent pleas. If I rashly have someone go there, it might cause considerable dissatisfaction...”

He desperately hoped Ye Chen’s injuries wouldn’t heal quickly.

With injuries, Ye Chen had to stay on Aurora Island to recover!

Ye Chen: ”Since Isle Master Bai is unwilling, I shall take my leave. I suffered injuries while fighting off Mei the Third Aunt for Aurora Island, and this attitude truly chills me.

Isle Master Bai doesn’t think I’ll be stuck here forever, does he?

I can open the Aurora Array. As for Mei the Third Aunt outside, truth be told, she’s not a mortal enemy to me. At most I’ll exchange more items, and she’ll likely let me go.”
