Ye Chen's heartbeat accelerated, and his blood flowed faster!

Standing on the top deck of the Yun Ship, the Black Widow paused for a moment, bit her red lips, and turned to leave the deck.

Having confirmed the identity of the person on the top deck of the Yun Ship, Ye Chen saw no need to stay outside, so he returned to his room on the ship.

"The Black Widow is actually on the Yun Ship too, and she's staying on the top deck. What is her real identity?" Ye Chen muttered. But not understanding, he didn't bother to think further.

As for going up to meet the Black Widow...

Forget it.

She probably doesn't want to meet me either...

That incident back then, even though both of us needed it, neither of us were really willing. She might even feel quite wronged.

Ye Chen suddenly felt wronged himself, as he was utterly exhausted that day!

Then, Ye Chen reentered the Sword Tomb.

Luo Qingyi still hadn't returned to the fourth level of the Sword Tomb. After refining a tombstone, Ye Chen decided it wasn't suitable to cultivate too intensively, so he chatted with Master Legs out of boredom.

When Master Legs learned that the Black Widow was also on the Yun Ship, he immediately shouted excitedly, "Kid, go find her! Luo Qingyi that little girl isn't here now anyway."

Ye Chen looked at Master Legs with a bit of a strange expression and said, "Even if Elder Qingyi were here, I'd still go find her. I didn't do anything wrong, so why be sneaky about it!"

Master Legs snorted and said, "She already knew you were on the Yun Ship but hasn't come looking for you. Why do you think that is?"

Ye Chen thought for a while and said, "Maybe she feels guilty and can't face it."

"Bah!"

Master Legs rudely spat and said, "I suspect you didn't perform well that day."

Ye Chen: "..."

Master Legs is always so improper, no wonder Elder Qingyi always sends him flying!

Refusing to engage with Master Legs anymore, Ye Chen sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and a wisp of his mind ventured towards the Origin World.

Almost a month had passed, and those ancient tribe experts from the Original Heaven should have lowered their guards by now. Time to absorb some energy from the Origin Pool again.

As a wisp of Ye Chen's mind took his form in the Origin World and practiced the nine motions of the Original Truth, pure energy immediately surged across vast distances into his Origin World.

"Dare to steal the ancient tribe's origin again, and once discovered, you'll be torn to pieces!"

A roar carrying terrifying pressure rang out again, shaking Ye Chen's Origin World.

Ye Chen immediately cut off the practice of the Original Truth, letting the terrifying pressure dissipate.

"Not bad, absorbed more than last time!"

Ye Chen said, satisfied. Most of the absorbed ancient tribe origin was left in his Origin World.

This strategic reserve is quite necessary.

If injured, the Origin World would provide a continuous supply of primordial energy to heal any wounds. Without it, he couldn't even count how many times he'd have died.

If always used without replenishment, the Origin World might fall into dormancy just like before!

The remaining portion, Ye Chen controlled to merge into his body, Dantian, and sea of consciousness.

Recently, with intense cultivation, his physical body, Dantian, and sea of consciousness were all worn out. With some ancient tribe origin merging in, Ye Chen instantly felt rejuvenated!

When a wisp of Ye Chen's mind exited the Origin World, his eyes slowly opened, spotting Little Phoenix Zizi standing before him, her eyes twinkling with excitement.

Previously, Little Phoenix Zizi had absorbed a bit of the residual ancient tribe origin from Ye Chen and decided to stick with him.

Recently, there was no ancient tribe origin on Ye Chen, making Little Phoenix question her decision... Now, Little Phoenix realized her decision was right, as Ye Chen once again had that fragrant energy!

Ye Chen's face darkened slightly.

"Zizi, you just ate so many monster cores, and your belly is still bulging. Wait until you digest that energy first. It's for your own good; otherwise, you'll become the fattest in Phoenix Race history!"

"I want to absorb!"

"No, please."

Ye Chen snorted; the little one had learned how to deceive people!

"I'm serious. I have a bloodline inheritance. If I become a bit stronger, I can use it to burn the bad guys for you!"

Ye Chen's eyes lit up and said, "Hurry up then!"

......

Original Heaven.

The experts of the Eight Noble Families of the ancient tribes gathered by the Origin Pool, their faces grim.

"Checked everything, and none of the origin worlds among the Eight Noble Families can connect to the Origin Pool!"

"This is the third incident in two months. We must get to the bottom of this. The Origin Pool is the foundation of our Eight Families' strength; there can't be any negligence!"

"Could it be someone outside the Eight Families but with our bloodline inheritance?"

"Impossible. In the Eight Families, those with average talent aren't allowed outside, and the most talented are strictly monitored. They couldn't do this."

"Heh, don't forget, thirty years ago, the Yun Family's wanderer defied the taboo."

This statement made one person's face turn extremely ugly.

The other seven turned their eyes to him.

"Elder Yun, did the Yun Family's wanderer back then leave any descendants?"

"Absolutely impossible!" Elder Yun's expression darkened.

"Is it 'impossible' or 'unknown'?"

"How about we open the Celestial Burial Sea's Celestial Dao Prison and capture her for interrogation to uncover the truth!"

Anger flared on Elder Yun's face as he said, "If the Celestial Dao Prison is opened, she will be reduced to ashes. She cannot die yet!"

"Elder Yun, this matter involves the interests of the entire Original Heaven. We hope the Yun Family doesn't act impulsively."

"Since the problem might root in the Yun Family, let the seven families send people out to investigate, while the Yun Family can avoid suspicion."

Elder Yun clenched his fists and said, "Our Yun Family has just appointed a new wanderer. Let him represent the Yun Family to investigate. The seven families can wait for our report!"

Several of the others exchanged glances and some nodded.

Letting the Yun Family investigate might be good. The Yun Family's strength in Original Heaven is significant, and provoking them serves no purpose.

......

In the Sword Tomb.

Little Phoenix lay on Ye Chen, absorbing the ancient tribe origin.

Ye Chen felt deeply pained!

He had gone through so much to get some ancient tribe origin, only for Little Phoenix to absorb more than half of it.

Thankfully, most of it was stored in the Origin World where Little Phoenix couldn't get to it. Otherwise, it would have been a massive loss.

With the ancient tribe origin within Ye Chen exhausted, Little Phoenix burped and almost toppled off Ye Chen.

Ye Chen quickly caught Little Phoenix.

He seriously suspected Little Phoenix was tricking him!

More like overeating, as for bloodline inheritance... what nonsense!

"If the bloodline inheritance isn't awakened, I'll have Master Legs roast Phoenix meat!" Ye Chen glared at Little Phoenix.

Master Legs quickly came forward, chuckling in a way that made Little Phoenix's feathers stand on end.

"I have it, I have it!"

Little Phoenix quickly shouted, "I'll show you right now and open your eyes!"

Ye Chen released his grip on Little Phoenix.

Little Phoenix landed on the ground, swaying back and forth before steadying herself, and her plump wings patted her bulging belly. The next moment, an incredibly dazzling light erupted from her body!
