Ye Chen's residence.

In fact, temporarily not being able to see doesn't really affect much.

With powerful Spiritual Power, everything inside the room is sensed, and it's even clearer than what the eyes can see.

But if the eyes remain blind, it will always be a regret.

Ouyang Shang suggested digging out the eyes and regenerating a pair of eyeballs, a suggestion Ye Chen immediately refused.

After returning to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, Yang Tianji also proposed to help Ye Chen deal with the eye issue, which Ye Chen also declined.

There is a mysterious and unknown power being nurtured in his eyes, and Ye Chen is ninety percent sure that once that power is fully developed, his eyes will return to normal.

Apart from the eye problem.

Ye Chen's injuries are not actually serious.

A little adjustment and he would be fine.

Ye Chen sat crossed-legged in the room.

He already knew that the Ninth Prince Zhou Chengyun had fled early, secretly protected by a Legendary Realm powerhouse, who also took Gu Yue from Celestial Sword Sect along.

Although it's a bit disappointing, the saying goes, you may flee as a monk but the temple won't run with you; at worst he'll hide in Kyoto Jiu Long City, there will always be a chance to kill him!

As for Gu Yue, Ye Chen would rather kill him himself!

It's better this way!

This time on the battlefield, Ye Chen deeply felt the gap between himself and Mortal Transformation Realm powerhouses, but he is confident that it won't take long for him to be able to contend with Mortal Transformation!

Next time encountering Gu Yue, he will definitely personally decapitate him and take Gu Yue's head back to Qingyun City to honor the Ye Family members!

Suppressing some thoughts, Ye Chen then entered the fourth layer of the Sword Tomb.

Luo Qingyi was already waiting for him.

"Are you sure your eyes are okay?"

"Not a big problem, it should be related to my primordial ancient clan physique." Ye Chen said, "At that time I operated the Primordial True Solution to suppress the Nine Nether Eye Race's origin and the Celestial Demonic Qi, seemed to have triggered some special power that was already in my eyes, my blindness is probably due to that power."

Luo Qingyi nodded and said, "Your teacher Yang Tianji is very extraordinary. He might reach the Saint Realm. On the way back, I investigated secretly, and perhaps he sensed my presence, but he showed no reaction.

He is currently only at the Heaven-Reaching Realm and can sense my probing, implying that his power is already subtly aligned with the Heavenly Dao, which is the foundation for becoming a Saint."

While Ye Chen was shocked, he was also happy for his teacher Yang Tianji.

The Heaven-Reaching Realm is hailed as a legend.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has never had a powerhouse above Legendary Realm.

And between the Saint Realm and Heaven-Reaching is still the Dharma Realm.

As for his teacher possibly discovering Luo Qingyi, Ye Chen was not worried; he trusted Yang Tianji!

"How is Master Legs?"

"Still alive, just in bad shape, you should go see him."

"Alright."

Ye Chen's figure flashed, immediately heading to the second layer of the Sword Tomb to visit Master Legs.

Previously, every time Ye Chen came to see Master Legs, his two legs were relaxedly propped up on a mountain top.

Now, Master Legs had changed.

The two legs were pressed to the ground at the foot of the mountain, flesh shriveled, hair dry and yellow.

Ye Chen felt somewhat distressed.

Master Legs only had these two legs left, and even they had become like this…

"Master Legs."

Ye Chen called out.

"Not dead yet," came a weak voice, Master Legs said, "Kid, now you know how incredible my Heaven-Ascending Step is, it's just because I lack a body, otherwise, with my newest time level of Heaven-Ascending Step, I could outrun the ages!

Missing a body, though it seems like losing some burden, actually means losing a more important balance and coordination."

"Yes, yes, don't worry Master Legs, your body will certainly grow back, I'll find a way." Ye Chen said.

Master Legs' situation is very unique, growing a body isn't something that can be done by ordinary means, Ye Chen can't do it now, but in the future, he might find a way, and if the opportunity arises, he would spare no effort to help.

He learned the Heaven-Ascending Step from Master Legs.

Master Legs' leg issues are also because of helping him.

All this kindness, Ye Chen remembers.

After Ye Chen shared that he had mastered the second level of Vertical Earth Golden Light in Heaven-Ascending Step, Master Legs finally showed some happiness.

"Ye Chen, actually the swordsmanship of the Nine Heavens Sword God is not really worth practicing, focus on my Heaven-Ascending Step. Once you master the third level of Instantaneous Hundred Miles, I can assure you that below legendary, no one can match your speed.

If you reach the fourth level of Distance in a Blink, you'll outpace even a legend.

The fifth level, One Step to Heaven, at that speed, even Saint Realm powerhouses won't catch your dust.

As for the completely new Time Realm, it's unparalleled, even by god-like powerhouses.

With your talent, it won't be too difficult.

By then, with this speed, what would you fear? The world is vast, but you can go anywhere!"

"What use is speed alone?" Luo Qingyi's cold snort sounded, and then said, "Ye Chen, it's time to leave, go comprehend sword essence, don't waste time here!"

Master Legs' two legs immediately stood up, saying, "Luo Qingyi, what do you know, when speed becomes supreme, isn't it also a great force?

Speed can bring tremendous impact power.

I just ask you, under the impact of my Heaven-Ascending Step in the Time Realm, can you withstand it?"

Hearing these words, Ye Chen seemed to have discovered a new door.

Indeed!

The impact brought by speed is not to be underestimated.

This might be a feasible direction.

"Can't stop it," Luo Qingyi said.

But before Master Legs could be pleased, Luo Qingyi splashed a basin of cold water, saying, "I'm standing here, and you charge at the speed of time. Although I can't dodge, I can avoid the vital points.

You can at most severely injure me.

But even if I do nothing, you will still die.

Your strength is not strong enough; you can barely protect yourself at the speed of time. Even a slight touch with powerful force will kill you with the shock, without anyone having to make a move!"

Ye Chen looked at Luo Qingyi... feeling that what was said made a lot of sense.

Master Legs, though unconvinced, kept silent. Clearly, Luo Qingyi's words directly exposed the downside of his total reliance on speed.

"Let's go, I have something to tell you," Luo Qingyi said to Ye Chen.

"Master Legs, rest well. I'll come to see you when I have time," Ye Chen greeted and followed Luo Qingyi back to the fourth level of the Sword Tomb.

"Elder Qingyi, what is it?" Ye Chen asked.

"Nothing," Luo Qingyi replied.

Ye Chen: "..."

Luo Qingyi: "Isn't cultivation something? Since you're now blind, it's the best time to comprehend the sword momentum without using your eyes to see or your spiritual power to sense. Just rely on intuition to comprehend.

Many times, what the eyes see is not real.

What spiritual power senses might also be false.

At that time, you have to rely on intuition to make judgments.

Additionally, what Tian Can said, though foolish, is not completely without merit.

Absolute speed can bring extreme explosive force, but the premise is that you must have a strong enough body; otherwise, you won't be able to crash into anyone but instead kill yourself with the shock.

Moreover, absolute speed will also be restrained at times. Besides speed, you must have strong power to break things limiting your speed, to have space to leverage your speed advantage.

In short, power is fundamental.

In other areas, you can balance, but you must handle the distinction between primary and secondary."

Ye Chen obediently listened to Luo Qingyi's teachings, then began to refine the tombstone, relying on intuition to comprehend the sword momentum.

In this fourth level of the Sword Tomb, the suppressed Celestial Demon remnants have varying strengths from the Elemental Wheel Realm to the Mortal Transformation Realm.

But as long as you avoid the tombstones suppressing Mortal Transformation Realm Celestial Demon remnants, there is no problem, and even if Ye Chen can't see, it won't affect him at all.

While Ye Chen trained in the fourth level of the Sword Tomb, the news about Ye Chen, Yang Tianji, and Ouyang Shang jointly exterminating a Demon Lair had spread in Unparalleled County!

Although Ye Chen's strength is far inferior to Yang Tianji and Ouyang Shang,

Ye Chen's critical role in this war was completely undeniable.

Overnight,

Ye Chen had already become a hero in the hearts of countless people in Unparalleled County!

And this news, starting from Unparalleled County, spread like a storm to other counties, bound to spread throughout the entire Great Zhou Dynasty!

Along with this news, some dark sides of the battlefield also spread!

The Spirit Ruins Sect of the Sect Alliance, the Celestial Sword Sect, disregarded the overall battle situation, launching an attack to kill Ye Chen.

The Young Sect Leader of Spirit Ruins Sect, Feng Tianyou, along with two elders, participated in this matter.

The Celestial Sword Sect, led by Elder Gu Yue, a total of seven Mortal Transformation Realm elders, also participated in this matter.

In the Dragon Guard Army, Deputy Commander Liu Chuantian, and several other leaders, also participated in this matter.

And the Ninth Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Prince Yong Zhou Chengyun, who led the Dragon Guard to join the battle, suddenly fled and is missing!

The Spirit Ruins Sect, Celestial Sword Sect, and Dragon Guard leaders who participated in the plot against Ye Chen all had close interactions with Zhou Chengyun.

It does not directly point out that Zhou Chengyun is the mastermind, but the conjecture is already pointing towards Zhou Chengyun!

Moreover, some disputes between Zhou Chengyun and Ye Chen in the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy have also spread.

This undoubtedly further solidified the fact that Zhou Chengyun is the mastermind!

The spreading of these messages aroused public outrage!

Ye Chen, with his Elemental Wheel Realm cultivation, took the risk to enter the Demon Lair, disregarding life and death, participating in Heaven-Reaching Legendary Realm's battles. He was the greatest contributor to solving the Demon Race problem in Demon Suppression Valley.

However.

Before this, Ye Chen faced so many insidious calculations, and so many people plotted against him, trying to harm him!

If this matter is not seriously handled, then where are the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Where is justice?!

If Ye Chen is not given an explanation, who would dare to stand up from now on?

Soon, there were calls like tsunamis.

"Eradicate the Celestial Sword Sect!"

"Eradicate the Spirit Ruins Sect!"

"The Sect Alliance must face severe punishment!"

"Thoroughly investigate Prince Yong Zhou Chengyun!"

"Anyone who participated in the plan to assassinate Ye Chen on the battlefield, find one, kill one!"
