Chapter 80
The Bronze Ancient Hall transformed into a dazzling river of stars, treating countless ancestors as nothing and continually soaring upward.
Entities: Bronze Ancient Hall. Also "ancestors" generic (ancestors) not named.
Everyone was stunned.
No named.
It was that easy, as if toying with a host of Emperor Realm ancestors!
"Emperor Realm" is a cultivation realm (Emperor Realm). Might be considered a named cultivation realm? It's a generic term but appears as "Emperor Realm". Should we list? The instruction: list cultivation realms/pills/treasures. "Emperor Realm" is a realm; we could list "Emperor Realm". But we need to use exact English from glossary if already listed; not listed yet. Should we translate? Probably yes. However "Emperor Realm" is a generic term; but it's a named cultivation realm (Emperor Realm). We'll include.
Boom!
Sound effect, not named.
The Bronze Ancient Hall resembled a towering massive mountain, radiating dazzling divine light, shooting straight up from the ground and crossing the distant void.
Entities: Bronze Ancient Hall, Void. "Void" appears as "Void". Not "Above the Void". We have glossary entry for Above the Void -> Above the Void. But "Void" alone maybe just "Void". Should we list "Void"? It's a place? Might be considered a named place? It's generic. Probably not needed. But we have "Above the Void" appears later. We'll include "Above the Void" as per glossary.
Cang Xuan Elder Ancestor gazed at Qin Wu Yang, Yuan Qing Zi and others, as the eyes of numerous Emperor Realm experts locked onto one another.
Entities: Cang Xuan Elder Ancestor, Qin Wu Yang, Yuan Qing Zi. Also "Emperor Realm experts" but we already have Emperor Realm.
They quickly made a decision!
No.
"Chase!"
No.
In an instant, Cang Xuan Elder Ancestor and others ripped open the void, chasing after the direction in which the Bronze Ancient Hall had fled.
Entities: Cang Xuan Elder Ancestor, Void, Bronze Ancient Hall.
Everyone else in the field was startled.
No.
With so many Emperor Realm experts attacking, how did they allow the Bronze Ancient Hall to flee?
Entities: Emperor Realm, Bronze Ancient Hall.
Then Cang Xuan Elder Ancestor slowly said, "Grand Dao Sect, return to the sect first."
Entities: Cang Xuan Elder Ancestor, Grand Dao Sect, sect gate (generic).
The voice faded.
No.
Ancient Qin Clan Elder Ancestor Qin Wu Yang also issued an order: "Ancient Qin Clan, return home!"
Entities: Ancient Qin Clan, Qin Wu Yang.
Many Overlord-level force elders issued commands, ordering everyone to depart.
Entities: Overlord-level forces (generic? Might be considered a title? Not a specific name. Probably not.)
The Sect Leader glanced at Ye Chen, opened his right hand, and an incredibly ancient spirit vessel appeared before everyone.
Entities: Sect Leader, Ye Chen, Spirit Vessel. Also note that "Sect Leader" is a title; it's a generic rank. Should we list it? According to the instruction, we should list official and sect ranks/titles. "Sect Leader" is a sect rank, so we should list it as "Sect Leader". We need to use the exact English from the glossary if already listed; it's not yet listed, so we'll add "Sect Leader". However we must avoid over-listing generic terms like "Elder Ancestor", but "Sect Leader" is a specific title, so we'll include.
Lu Xuan and Ye Chen, along with others, all boarded the spirit vessel.
Entities: Lu Xuan, Ye Chen, Spirit Vessel.
Ye Chen glanced at Lu Xuan, feeling a bit embarrassed, and said, "Master, sorry for stirring up this trouble."
Entities: Ye Chen, Lu Xuan, Master (generic title? Might be considered a rank? It's a term of address. Probably not needed.)
Lu Xuan smiled and said
Entities: Lu Xuan.
Ye Chen was slightly startled.
Entities: Ye Chen.
Indeed, Master still supports his fighting.
Entities: Master.
Ye Chen said firmly, "Master, in the future when I fight Qin Xiao, I won't embarrass you."
Entities: Ye Chen, Master, Qin Xiao.
Lu Xuan nodded and instructed, "When fighting Qin Xiao, don't hold back; just kill him, so the Qin clan can replace their heir, and the Supreme Mystic Sect can replace their divine son candidate."
Entities: Lu Xuan, Qin Xiao, Qin Clan, Heir Apparent, Supreme Mystic Sect, Divine Son Candidate. Note that Heir Apparent is a generic title; Supreme Mystic Sect is a sect name; Divine Son Candidate is a title. We'll list Supreme Mystic Sect. Divine Son Candidate may not be needed.
A gleam flashed in Ye Chen's eyes, and he said excitedly, "Good."
Entities: Ye Chen.
Meanwhile, Qin Xiao gazed at Ye Chen from afar, his face as frosty as ice.
Entities: Qin Xiao, Ye Chen.
Who would have thought their life-and-death battle would actually be temporarily put on hold!
No specific.
Qin Xiao realized that the Primordial Supreme Artifact, the Bronze Ancient Palace, this matter is of utmost importance.
Entities: Qin Xiao, Primordial Supreme Artifact, Bronze Ancient Palace.
His life-and-death battle with Ye Chen seems trivial in the face of this matter.
Entities: Qin Xiao, Ye Chen.
Moreover, the Bronze Ancient Palace fled; even the Qin clan's elder ancestor Qin Wu Yang had no attention to spare for the matter of the Heavenly Blade Sect's sect leader being killed.
Entities: Bronze Ancient Palace, Qin Clan Elder Ancestor Qin Wu Yang, Heavenly Blade Sect Sect Leader. Also Heavenly Blade Sect. We'll list Sect Leader.
It seems Ye Chen can survive for a while.
Entities: Ye Chen.
At this moment, the Heavenly Blade Sect's members, dazed and dispirited, stood in the void, watching the members of the Grand Dao Sect depart.
Entities: Heavenly Blade Sect, Above the Void, Grand Dao Sect.
Furious!
No.
Disappointed!
No.
He was just a hair's breadth away from having Qin Xiao, the heir, directly slay Ye Chen!
Entities: Qin Xiao Heir Apparent, Ye Chen.
Who would have thought the Bronze Ancient Palace would suddenly be fine and just flee?
Entities: Bronze Ancient Palace.
Damn it!
No.
Did their Heavenly Blade Sect's sect leader just die miserably here?
Entities: Heavenly Blade Sect, Sect Leader.
And there are many talented disciples!
No specific.
At this moment, the most disappointed person is none other than Nangong Bai Xue.
Entities: Nangong Bai Xue.
In her eyes arose endless resentment as she watched Ye Chen's spirit vessel tear through the void and leave this realm.
Entities: Nangong Bai Xue, Ye Chen, Spirit Vessel, Void.
Just like that, they left?
No.
How lucky is that trash Ye Chen's fate!
Entities: Ye Chen.
If the Bronze Ancient Palace hadn't had an accident just now, he would already be a corpse!
Entities: Bronze Ancient Palace, Ye Chen.
Nangong Bai Xue muttered softly, "Damned Bronze Ancient..."
Entities: Nangong Bai Xue, Bronze Ancient Palace.
Before she could finish, she felt a sudden palpitation in her heart, as if some unseen power made her scalp tingle and gave her a chilling sensation.
Entities: Nangong Bai Xue.
Nangong Bai Xue's delicate body trembled as she pressed against Qin Xiao, and she inwardly exclaimed, "What is this... what power is this?"
Entities: Nangong Bai Xue, Qin Xiao.
Frightened, Nangong Bai Xue developed a terrifying reverence for the Primordial Supreme Artifact and the Bronze Ancient Palace.
Entities: Nangong Bai Xue, Primordial Supreme Artifact, Bronze Ancient Palace.
After a moment, Nangong Bai Xue composed herself, squeezed out a few tears, and leaned against Qin Xiao's chest, saying, "Husband, once again that trash Ye Chen managed to escape."
Entities: Nangong Bai Xue, Qin Xiao (husband), Ye Chen.
Qin Xiao sneered, "Those I, Qin Xiao, intend to kill cannot escape!"
Entities: Qin Xiao.
Saying this, Qin Xiao kissed Nangong Bai Xue's delicate cheek, "Bai Xue, rest assured, I will kill Ye Chen! But for now, let him survive a few more days!"
Entities: Qin Xiao, Nangong Bai Xue (Bai Xue), Ye Chen.
The Qin clan patriarch arrived beside Qin Xiao with a cold expression, saying, "This Ye Chen is ruthless and vicious, now possessing both alchemy and martial talents; this child must not be spared!"
Entities: Qin Clan Patriarch, Qin Xiao, Ye Chen, Alchemy Path, Martial Path.
Qin Xiao calmly said, "Father, rest assured, killing Ye Chen is as easy as killing a chicken!"
Entities: Qin Xiao, father, Ye Chen.
Soon.
No.
In this realm, many overlord-level powers departed one after another.
Entities: Overlord-level forces.
The Qin clan patriarch and his entourage descended upon the Heavenly Blade Sect.
Entities: Qin Clan Patriarch, Heavenly Blade Sect.
The Heavenly Blade Sect's elder ancestors, with sorrowful faces, had gathered the corpses of the sect leader and disciples, arranging them neatly at the main hall's entrance.
Entities: Heavenly Blade Sect, Elder Ancestor, Sect Leader, Main Hall.
Seeing this, the Qin clan patriarch's heart surged with endless killing intent toward Ye Chen.
Entities: Qin Clan Patriarch, Ye Chen.
A gray-robed elder ancestor said, "Clan chief, our Heavenly Blade Sect's sect leader is dead, and over a dozen sword cultivation geniuses have also perished; are we really going to let this slide?"
Entities: Gray-robed Elder Ancestor, Clan Chief, Heavenly Blade Sect Sect Leader, Sword Cultivation Genius.
The Qin clan patriarch snorted coldly, "How could we just let this go? Ye Chen must die! The Ye clan must be annihilated!"
Entities: Qin Clan Patriarch, Ye Chen, Ye Clan.
Speaking, the Qin family patriarch tossed out several storage rings, "These cultivation resources, take them first! Next, I will give the Heavenly Blade Sect ten slots to enter my Qin family's cultivation—this will make up for this loss."
Numerous Heavenly Saber Sect elder ancestors immediately bowed and thanked, "Thank you, clan patriarch! Thank you, clan patriarch!"
After the Qin clan patriarch and others left.
Several Heavenly Saber Sect elder ancestors looked at the corpses on the ground, their eyes flashing with cold light, and they directly swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao.
"If Ye Chen does not die, I will not make the slightest progress in my cultivation for the rest of my life!"
……
Above the Void.
The Grand Dao Sect's spirit vessel was like a vast region, traversing the void.
Fang Yan, Liu Xuan, Luo Lingkong and other top true transmission disciples all came before Ye Chen.
Liu Xuan gave a charming smile, "Ye Chen junior brother, this time your martial dao attainment will likely make your name known throughout the myriad prefectures of Nan Huang."
Fang Yan looked at Ye Chen, slightly furrowed his brows, "I always feel that exposing ourselves like this in advance is not good! It gives Qin Xiao a heads-up! Now the Heavenly Saber Sect, the Supreme Mystery Sect, and the Ancient Qin Clan all have killing intent toward Ye Chen junior brother, which is extremely disadvantageous for him."
The sect master gave a faint smile, "In the end, it will have to be exposed. Strength cannot be hidden!"
Lu Xuan nodded.
Ye Chen moved his lips, wanting to speak but stopped.
He wanted to say, "Hasn't his master hidden himself very well all these years?"
By now, the entire Nan Huang still thinks Lu Xuan is merely at the Qi Refining stage!
In reality, his master has already reached the pinnacle of Nan Huang!
At this moment, Lu Xuan looked at Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, if you were Qin Xiao, would you suppress your cultivation level to fight?"
Ye Chen said, "No."
Lu Xuan nodded, "Very good. Never learn from Qin Xiao. Invincibility is not about pitying the weak; as long as they are enemies, give them no chance, try to kill them on the spot, and never make any kind of three-year pact or such!"
"This world only has two kinds of people: friends and dead enemies! Pitying enemies is cruelty toward oneself!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen silently repeated Lu Xuan's words, deep in thought.
He felt that what his master said was exactly what he thought.
"Lowering one's cultivation level to fight an enemy?"
"That's the act of a fool!"
"Would Grandmaster Cang Xuan suppress himself to the Holy King Realm to fight the Heavenly Saber Sect sect master?"
"No!"
In the scene, Fang Yan, Liu Xuan and others looked at Lu Xuan with some shock.
"It's hard to imagine these words coming from Lu Xuan's mouth!"
Even the sect master felt somewhat surprised.
"You know Lu Xuan has always hidden in Xuan Qing Feng, never experienced any battle, yet he could have such a mindset?"
"How strange! How strange!"
The sect master smiled, looked at Lu Xuan, "Lu Xuan, where did you hear these words from?"
Lu Xuan lightly said, "I just said it offhand."
Sect master: "……"
Everyone: "……"
Ye Chen gave a slight smile.
"Master is still too low-key!"
"When the day comes that master makes a move, Nan Huang will likely face a huge upheaval!"
Half a day later.
Everyone returned to the Grand Dao Sect.
The sect master sent Lu Xuan and Ye Chen back to Xuan Qing Feng, he looked at Ye Chen and said with a smile, "Wait for news from Grandmaster Cang Xuan; perhaps there will be an opportunity."
Ye Chen blinked slightly, "A treasure of this level, we probably can't lay our hands on it."
The sect master smiled, "Not necessarily. The Bronze Ancient Hall will certainly not let Emperor Realm experts enter; let's see, if we can suppress the Bronze Ancient Hall, then Grandmaster Cang Xuan and others can set the rules!"
Ye Chen nodded, "Good."
The sect master soon left.
Ye Chen said to Lu Xuan, "Master, today the Bronze Ancient Hall was too shocking! Plus Grandmaster Cang Xuan and others making a move, it's simply terrifying beyond compare!"
Lu Xuan gave a faint smile, "Strive hard. One day you will surpass Grandmaster Cang Xuan. By then, the mere Bronze Ancient Hall, you can suppress it with a casual hand!"
Lu Xuan directly drew a pie!
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen instantly became excited!
"Surpass Grandmaster Cang Xuan!"
"Easily suppress the Bronze Ancient Hall!"
Just thinking about it feels incredibly exciting!
A huge surge rose in Ye Chen's heart.
His master is none other than Lu Xuan!
How could he let down his master's name?
Suddenly.
Ye Chen asked, "Master, today the Bronze Ancient Hall fled; why didn't you secretly intervene?"
Lu Xuan's face twitched.
"Ah this..."
"No."
In Ye Chen's heart, just how strong is he?
He also wanted to take action, but his strength wouldn't allow it!
Didn't you see that Cangxuan Ancestor, Qin Wuyang and the others were all shaken by the Bronze Ancient Hall until they were vomiting blood repeatedly?
Going up like that, isn't he just walking into death?
But seeing Ye Chen's look of awe and reverence, Lu Xuan cleared his throat and casually said, "The matters of the younger generation should be handled by the younger generation themselves. Nan Huang is too vast; I cannot possibly intervene in every matter."
Upon hearing that, Lu Xuan wore a look of reverence.
Yes!
A master of such stature, how could he personally handle every matter?
You should know that if it weren't for me asking the master to go, the master wouldn't even bother to look at the Bronze Ancient Hall!
For a moment, Ye Chen felt a little embarrassed.
Ah... that question was really lacking in emotional intelligence.
Thinking so, Ye Chen looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Master, I'm going to cultivate!"
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Go!"
Watching Ye Chen's hurried back, Lu Xuan let out a sigh of relief.
It's still up to the disciple to fill in the blanks himself!
Forcing oneself to act cool is a bit tiring!
But having chosen to act cool, he, tears streaming, kneeling... still has to keep it up!
Soon.
Lu Xuan also returned to his cave dwelling and lay down.
A voice came from his ear: the system's voice.
"Ding! Second disciple Ye Chen is cultivating! Begin syncing cultivation!"
"Ding! Second disciple Ye Chen has gained insight into martial dao! Begin syncing!"
"Ding! Eldest disciple Ji Fuyao is cultivating! Begin syncing cultivation!"
"Ding! Eldest disciple Ji Fuyao has gained insight into the Spirit Fire Dao! Begin syncing!"
The voice faded!
A stream of incredibly pure spiritual energy surged into Lu Xuan's body, striking his limbs and bones like a torrent.
Countless sensations of comfort made Lu Xuan's body tremble slightly, even feeling numb and tingling.
At the same time, his understanding of martial dao and the Spirit Fire Dao also increased!
After a moment.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but mutter, "How are things going at the Fuyao Drunken Immortal Pavilion? Hopefully nothing went wrong."
