Ye Chen performed the Seven-Star Sword Array, feeling both excited and exhausted.

Forming an array alone is indeed very challenging.

No wonder those people at the Cangzhou True Martial Hall couldn't manage it.

With my talent, it took half a month to achieve it, even in the special environment of Cyan Leaf Cave.

After experiencing the power of forming a sword array alone, Ye Chen stopped and controlled the dispersal of the Sword Qi.

Fortunately, my spiritual power is strong, and my sword essence is thick, and I follow the pure path of sword cultivation, otherwise, it would be futile.

"The Sword Qi is still somewhat weak; I need to find a way to gather seven swords, preferably a series, for easier control!" Ye Chen mused.

Due to practicing the Sword Control Celestial Scripture, I can only have one life-bound sword, more wouldn't help, unless it's perfectly compatible with the Celestial Mark Sword for devouring and merging.

However, devouring and merging can only be done once per stage.

Thus, Ye Chen has little demand for other swords.

If I want to form a sword array now, I should prepare more swords, even if not life-bound, refining them would still work!

"The Mu Mansion has laid some groundwork; last time Mu Baoming almost wanted to give me his family's plaque, composed of thirteen Dao Artifacts. Asking him for seven Dao Swords isn't too much!

Oh right, my Celestial Mark Sword last devoured and merged with the Wuchen Sword from the Celestial Soldier Pavilion. The Wuchen Sword split in two, and once I find the other half, the Celestial Mark Sword could be upgraded to a lower-grade Dao Sword, and it could still devour and merge one more time at the Dao Sword level.

Seeking help from Qi Mo at the Celestial Soldier Pavilion shouldn't be too difficult!"

Ye Chen began pondering these matters.

Hard training to enhance strength.

Combat to increase experience.

The value of connections is starting to show at this time!

Many things are too hard to handle alone, but with ample connections, it becomes relatively simple.

Thinking about the sword issue, Ye Chen recalled the scene of piercing the Celestial Eye Tribe's large eyeball a few days ago.

That blue mark on the Celestial Mark Sword's hilt, what exactly is it?

He could only confirm that the mark was made by Luo Qingyi, but Luo Qingyi obviously wouldn't tell him.

Miss Qing is a stubborn girl!

Find an opportunity to quietly ask Master Legs!

With thoughts settled, Ye Chen began focusing on tempering the sword body, sword species, and Spirit Seal Gold Lump!

Without the help of the Little Phoenix, the effect significantly decreased, but seeing the Little Phoenix in such a state, Ye Chen couldn't bear to drag it out for more torment.

Regulating tension and relaxation is necessary, otherwise the little bird will collapse!

For Ye Chen, the monotonous cultivation was full of joy; the feeling of getting stronger bit by bit kept him in an excited state!

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.

On the sword seed within the Dantian, another significant mark appeared, advancing from the Primordial Embryo Realm Seventh Layer to the Primordial Embryo Realm Eighth Layer.

The Spirit Seal Gold Lump, based on roughly outlined contours, became more shaped.

As for the sword body, it seemed close to reaching the Great Success Realm.

Once the sword body reached the Great Success Realm, he could attempt his previous idea of entering a spatial rift with his physical body, simulating the Little Phoenix's bloodline inheritance move, Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens!

"It's been almost two months since I last entered the Origin World to absorb the ancient clan's essence. The Original Celestial Eight Great Families should have relaxed a bit?"

Ye Chen muttered to himself, preparing to secure some strategic reserves again.

Now, signs of chaos have appeared in Cangzhou, and there will certainly be more missions to battle the alien races. The ancient clan's essence has miraculous effects on restoring power consumption and healing, stocking some is very necessary!

Ye Chen's consciousness entered the Origin World, transforming into his figure, beginning to practice the Original True Interpretation!

As before, after completing a set of the nine movements of the Original True Interpretation, pure ancient clan essence traversed the obscure temporal space, descending into his origin world.

It's been almost two months since the last absorption of ancient clan essence, and sure enough, this time the absorption was slightly more, causing a terrifying pressure to erupt.

The moment the terrifying pressure erupted, Ye Chen immediately halted the operation of the Original True Interpretation. The strategic reserve absorbed this time would suffice for a while.

Within the Original Heaven.

Beside the source pool of the ancient clan, the elders of the Eight Great Families all looked furious.

An elder spoke in a gloomy tone, "Didn't the Yun Family say they would send someone to investigate? Why is there still no news?"

The Yun Family elder replied, "We are arranging a new Tianxia Walker, many things need to be settled before embarking, you're not unaware of this!"

"How much longer?"

The Yun Family elder said, "At least two more months."

Someone was clearly displeased.

"Everyone calm down. Our Eight Great Families have a process for appointing Tianxia Walkers. The Yun Family is doing their best to handle it quickly."

One person came forward as a mediator, then turned to the Yun Family elder, saying, "The prior Tianxia Walker from the Yun Family committed a grave mistake, let's hope such an incident doesn't happen again!"

The Yun Family elder huffed coldly, "Rest assured, the Yun Family is well aware."

After saying this, the Yun Family elder flicked his sleeves and left. Moments later, he returned to a secret chamber in the Original Heaven belonging to the Yun Family.

In the chamber, a young man with handsome features and wearing a white long robe immediately rose, "Grandfather."

The elder nodded, "Feiyang, I heard from your father about your previous discovery of an origin world connected to the Yun Family bloodline, tell me more."

Yun Feiyang said, "Grandfather, I can confirm that Yun Ying indeed had offspring with those weak human ants from outside. Yun Ying even placed a powerful seal on her offspring, isolating all perception."

The elder pondered, "The origin world you sensed last time could connect to our Original Heaven's source pool!"

"What?!" Yun Feiyang was utterly shocked.

The Yun Family elder said, "Prepare yourself. Once you're out of the Original Heaven, go to the Celestial Burial Sea first and try to extract information from Yun Ying.

If you can find Yun Ying's offspring and extract their origin world into your body, it will be immensely beneficial to you.

Of course, do not mention this to anyone else. Within the Yun Family, the branch Yun Ying belongs to, though no longer as influential, was once glorious, so we must be cautious."

Yun Feiyang's eyes flickered with excitement, "Rest assured, Grandfather, I know what to do!"

......

In Cyan Leaf Cave, Ye Chen withdrew his consciousness from the Origin World, leaving most of the ancient clan essence within, extracting a small portion to nurture his body and Mind Sea.

Then, Ye Chen summoned the Little Phoenix from the Sword Tomb.

Since staying in Cyan Leaf Cave, uncertain whether someone is observing his movements, Ye Chen found it inconvenient to enter the Sword Tomb.

"Zizi, take a sip," Ye Chen said.

The Little Phoenix lay weakly on Ye Chen's shoulder, sipping until it hiccupped, spilling some of what it had absorbed.

Seeing the exhausted Little Phoenix, Ye Chen felt discomfort, "Go back and rest well, I'll head out to find something containing innate flame energy for you!"

At this moment.

Shi Fengchun appeared beside a verdant blade of grass symbolizing Cyan Leaf Cave.

The old guardians gathered around.

"Hall Master... has the grotto heaven begun repairing itself again?" an elderly woman asked excitedly.

Self-repair?

Nonsense!

The underlying cause of the restoration seen last time was due to Ye Chen's cultivation area.

With Cyan Leaf Cave closed for many days, without further signs of repair.

Now, Cyan Leaf Cave showed signs of restoration again with Ye Chen inside.

Shi Fengchun was certain the grotto heaven's restoration is somehow linked to Ye Chen.

However, he did not intend to voice this.

Knowing oneself is enough.

Too many secrets shared isn't beneficial.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have secretly sent Ye Chen into Cyan Leaf Cave to verify his guesses.

"Mmm, Cyan Leaf Cave is slowly restoring; it's a good thing, but keep this secret and don't casually reveal it, understood?" Shi Fengchun instructed.
