Chapter 953: Bloodline
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Elder Yuan saved Ye Chen back then, it was because he could not stand people bullying the weak.
Even the head of the Han family had personally taken action against a saint king realm junior.
Of course, the other reason was that Elder Yuan was interested in him after what he had seen at the blessed cemetery.
Being able to sense the best cave tomb was not as simple a matter as just being lucky. He knew that Ye Chen was not simple, but he did not expect him to be so extraordinary to the point that the latter’s bloodline far surpa.s.sed his own!
Elder Yuan forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart and took out a square device.
He clenched his fist and Ye Chen’s blood essence landed on the device.
However, the device did not show any fluctuations.
After a few seconds, a voice rang out from the device.
“Mortal roots, inferior.”
“Hiss… How is that possible?”
Elder Yuan did not believe it. He tested it a few more times, but the results were the same.
After a long time, Elder Yuan fell silent. His eyes lit up as he looked at Ye Chen.
A bloodline that even the device could not detect was enough to prove how unique Ye Chen’s bloodline was, and it was likely that this kid’s bloodline did not belong to the Kunlun Mountains at all.
He grabbed Ye Chen’s hand tightly and asked excitedly, “Kid, are you willing to be my disciple? I can grant you a supreme opportunity!”
Elder Yuan’s words were filled with excitement.
He was sure that as long as Ye Chen did not die prematurely, he would definitely shine in the future. The achievements of such a disciple would make him the talk of the town.
If those Supreme Emperor realm experts from earlier heard this, their jaws would drop. After all, Elder Yuan had lived for a thousand years, but had never taken in a disciple!
This was because his standards were too high.
Elder Yuan’s burning gaze was fixed on Ye Chen. However, the latter shook his head and refused. “Elder Yuan, I’m really sorry. I already have a master.”
“It’s fine if you have a master. Just be my disciple in name. I don’t ask for much. I just want to wait for a few decades so that I can brag in front of some old fart about your achievements.”
Ye Chen was speechless.
Ji Lin was speechless.
“Brat, there’s no need to think too much about it.”
Elder Yuan could not hold it in any longer. Thinking of something, he added, “How about this? This is something I obtained by chance. How about I give it to you as a welcome gift? How about it?”
A square-shaped stone appeared in Elder Yuan’s hand.
There were ancient patterns on the stone. Blood stained the stone, making the patterns on it seem to come alive.
“Brat, what are you still hesitating for? This is a treasure. Back then, many old friends offered me a high price to purchase it from me, but I refused. Do you believe that I won’t kill you with my fishing rod?”
Ye Chen smiled when he heard Elder Yuan’s words. He was about to say something when a tremor came from the Samsara Graveyard!
After the tremor, a vigorous and powerful voice rang out in Ye Chen’s ears.
“Brat, take the Blood Spirit Stone. It has a lot to do with the Blood Spirit Clan, and it’s also the key to entering the Blood Spirit Secret Realm!”
Ye Chen was stunned. The voice did not come from Mo Ning, but Xue Qiye!
This guy finally spoke up!
Ye Chen glanced at Xue Qiye’s tombstone with his consciousness and found that there was already a blood-red light circulating around it. Then, the faint light condensed into a burly figure.
“Did you hear my words? Hurry up and accept it!”
The voice sounded impatient, so Ye Chen did not waste any time. He reached out and took Elder Yuan’s item. With a flip of his hand, it was sucked into the Samsara Graveyard.
“Huh?” Elder Yuan was surprised when he saw this, but he did not think too much about it. He said, “Kid, since you accepted this, it means that you’re my disciple. I don’t want you to pretend that you don’t know me in front of everyone next time.”
“Come, come, come. Disciple, call me master.”
At this moment, Elder Yuan was like a naughty child who had succeeded, albeit a very old one.
Ye Chen took a look at the Samsara Graveyard and said to Elder Yuan, “Master.”
“Good, good!”
Elder Yuan’s face flushed red. He continued to point his finger and shot his blood essence toward Ye Chen’s forehead.
“Brat, I don’t have anything else to give you. This blood essence contains some of my power, and if necessary, it can help you block some attacks. Also, this blood essence also creates a connection between you and me. You’ve made too many enemies in the Han family’s territory recently, so since I’ll be around this area for the time being, I can take care of you when necessary!”
“If anyone dares to destroy the sapling that I have worked so hard to protect, I will make them suffer even if I have to pay a huge price!”
Elder Yuan’s aura exploded, and an illusory phantom of a huge tiger floated above his head, which then roared majestically.
Ye Chen was filled with emotion. He did not expect that he would unexpectedly get a new master because of his blood essence.
Although he did not know Elder Yuan’s true strength, he was definitely stronger than the Supreme Emperor realm experts from earlier, so much so that they feared this old man.
Elder Yuan’s aura dissipated and he looked at Ye Chen. “My dear disciple, if you really want to go to the Blood Spirit Secret Realm, you must be careful. Try not to use your current appearance in front of others. After all, I reckon that there are already countless martial artists around the Han family’s territory who have your portrait on hand to identify and kill you.”
Ye Chen nodded. “Don’t worry, Master. I actually have another ident.i.ty. Even if these Supreme Emperor realm experts want to get in my way, they won’t be able to do so. This time, not only will I enter, but I will also turn the Blood Spirit Secret Realm upside down!”
When Elder Yuan heard his disciple start to brag again, he let out a long sigh and ignored him.
He had already done what he needed to do. The rest was up to Ye Chen.
This kid did not seem like the kind of person who would die young easily. He would probably be able to turn misfortune into fortune this time.
If he continued to stop Ye Chen, it would only be detrimental to his growth.
Then, he looked at Ji Lin and walked over leisurely. “Disciple, let me help you take care of this little girl. Look at her eyes. She’s definitely the type to cause trouble.”
Ji Lin dodged Elder Yuan’s hand and said impatiently, “Old man, you talk too much. I want to follow Ye Chen. Who wants to follow a stinky old man like you?”
“Ji Lin, don’t be unreasonable.”
Ji Lin rolled her eyes at Ye Chen. She wanted to say something, but in the end, did not. Instead, she said softly, “Alright, I’ll stay here.”
Suddenly, she thought of something and grabbed the corner of Ye Chen’s shirt as she quickly said, “Oh right, Ye Chen, besides being careful of those sects, you also have to be careful of Big Sister’s Sky Mist Sect. The reason why I was on the run was all because of you!”
“Master and a few elders feel that you are a threat to Big Sister’s growth and plan to eliminate you.”
Ye Chen was not too surprised to hear this.
