CHAPTER 1274: CHAPTER 1198: ANCIENT SWORD VILLAGE (PART 2)

"I will definitely protect the leader at all costs!"

"Moreover, with the leader’s talent, entering the Ancient Sword Village might make them incredibly welcoming. After all, the old leader was the Ultimate Star Lord, and the people he favored, how could this little Ancient Sword Village possibly resist?"

Wei Xuan’s words made Ye Chen feel somewhat helpless.

This helmsman was indeed very loyal.

With his protection, Ye Chen felt very at ease.

However, his flattery made Ye Chen a bit speechless. If they ended up being stopped outside the village, it would be quite awkward.

Of course, Ye Chen was not someone who feared awkwardness and didn’t dare to take on challenges.

After pondering for a while, Ye Chen directly looked at Star Lord Ning Luo, who was eagerly watching him.

"Then let’s go and take a look at Ancient Sword Village."

Ye Chen finally said the words Star Lord Ning Luo had been expecting all along.

"Great!"

"Great!"

"With Brother Ye Chen joining us, this sixth attempt at Ancient Sword Village might just succeed!"

Beside him, Chining Xiaoxiao was also a bit excited: "Brother Ye Chen, I once went with Aunt Ning to try getting into Ancient Sword Village, and I failed that time too."

"This time, I hope you will succeed!"

"It’s said that whenever someone successfully enters Ancient Sword Village, the village treats them as esteemed guests and allows them to bring a few companions for a visit. When that happens, brother, you must take me along."

Seeing Chining Xiaoxiao’s excited expression, Ye Chen smiled: "Let’s see if we succeed first."

After finishing their discussion.

Ye Chen, Wei Xuan, Ning Luo, and Chining Xiaoxiao, the four of them left the high platform immediately. Led by Star Lord Ning Luo, they headed towards the secretive Ancient Sword Village deep within the abyss.

This time, they did not pass through the subterranean river.

Firstly, the destination was not within the range of the subterranean river, and secondly, with Wei Xuan and Ning Luo, the two Great Star Lords, they did not fear many dangerous areas and could take the direct route to Ancient Sword Village.

On their journey.

Ye Chen asked Star Lord Ning Luo: "Star Lord Ning, you said Ancient Sword Village is lively right now, why is that?"

"Recently, it is the time for the annual young generation’s Sword Fighting Tournament at Ancient Sword Village, so it’s incredibly lively. If we get in this time, it’s a great opportunity to witness this grand event!"

Sword Fighting Tournament?

Ye Chen’s heart stirred.

This name was very familiar to Ye Chen back on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent. In the Lower Realm Barbaric Wilderness Continent, there were Sword Fighting Tournaments at various levels.

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao even personally participated back then.

Unexpectedly, even at his current cultivation realm, in this mysterious little village in the Exile Sea Abyss, there exists such a Sword Fighting Tournament.

What a coincidence.

Of course, Ye Chen knew that the Sword Fighting Tournament in Ancient Sword Village would be far more exciting and formidable than those in the Lower Realm, given that Spirit Sea, Rotating Pill, and Heavenly Saint there couldn’t compare with the Divine Masters, Masters, Cosmic Emperors, and Star Lords here!

The four of them chatted while flying.

Ye Chen asked Star Lord Ning Luo a lot of questions.

Star Lord Ning Luo slowly became more familiar with Ye Chen and Wei Xuan as well. She couldn’t help but ask Wei Xuan: "Senior, your method of refining those three Star Lords earlier was truly astonishing. Could you reveal a bit about that mystical green bottle? Also, those Star Lords turned into liquid and were utterly destroyed, was that liquid still useful to you?"

Such matters touched some secrets, and Star Lord Ning Luo asked with a lot of courage. Had she not been so curious, she would not have dared to ask.

However, Wei Xuan did not seem to have any intention of hiding it.

Wei Xuan laughed and said: "This treasure is just an old trinket I used to use; it’s not much."

Listen to that.

Is this even human speech?

Refining three Star Lords with a treasure still considered as ’not much’?

Ye Chen couldn’t help but feel silently critical: "This is how a Supreme Star Lord talks..."

Wei Xuan didn’t realize his master was despising him at this moment.

He continued, saying: "This green bottle is called the Star Splendor Godsnatching Bottle. It has two main uses: one for killing enemies and another for self-cultivation. When used against enemies, it can refine them into liquid within the bottle. This liquid can help evolve a type of flame inside the bottle, enhancing that flame’s attack power. Thus, the more it’s used, the more powerful it becomes. However, it does have a limit, and at the level of a Supreme Star Lord, it can’t refine anymore."

"As for cultivation, there is a special flame inside that can aid self-training; I won’t go into details..."

Wei Xuan’s explanation intrigued Ye Chen, Star Lord Ning Luo, and Chining Xiaoxiao.

Star Splendor Godsnatching Bottle, a treasure capable of refining even Glorious Star Lords!

Other than enemy killing, it has cultivation uses. Indeed, the stronger the person, the more formidable their magical treasures.

"Star Lord Ning, share why you came to the abyss, won’t you?"

After Ning Luo asked Wei Xuan some questions, Wei Xuan inquired of Ning Luo.

Ning Luo smiled: "Since senior asks, this young woman doesn’t dare to hide it; I am from the Cosmic Sea South Pole Region..."

The four continued flying and chatting.

Most of the journey, it was Star Lord Ning Luo leading the way, with Wei Xuan protecting Ye Chen and Chining Xiaoxiao.

Soon enough.

The four arrived at a misty area within the abyss.

"Young friend Ye, Senior Wei, be sure to follow me closely."

"Inside here, it’s extremely easy to get lost. Even a Star Lord could struggle to find a way out once lost inside."

"But once we get through here, we’ll soon arrive at Ancient Sword Village."

Upon hearing Ning Luo’s words, Wei Xuan nodded from behind.

The four quickly entered the fog.

Within the mist, nothing was visible, and Ye Chen didn’t know how Star Lord Ning Luo was navigating.

However, Ye Chen didn’t idle. He had Wei Xuan carry him while he sensed the Space Star Aperture of this new realm, continuing to cultivate and accumulate the Origin Star Aperture just like the previous routes.

This flight went on for about half an hour.

When Ye Chen suddenly felt a change in the mist’s airflow ahead and opened his eyes from cultivation, he saw the fog slowly dissipating ahead.

"We’re almost at Ancient Sword Village!"

The excited voice of Star Lord Ning Luo came from the front.

Ye Chen, Wei Xuan, and Chining Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but feel their minds and spirits lift.

After passing through the thinning mist, Ye Chen soon beheld a pastoral scene ahead, with countless willow trees planted up front, and small paths leading deeper in. Crossing the willows, just beyond the paths, Ye Chen directly saw a river cutting across ahead.

And above the river, there was a small wooden bridge.

At this moment, a little child was napping on the wooden bridge.

"Ahead is the first checkpoint outside Ancient Sword Village—the wooden bridge."

"We have finally reached Ancient Sword Village."

The excited voice of Star Lord Ning Luo echoed.
