Ye Chen saw Xiao Lang's state and felt a tightening in his heart.

Could it be... that he had exposed the matter of mastering the spatial brand to enter Heaven Beyond Heaven?

However, it shouldn't be!

"Please speak, Hall Master Xiao!" Ye Chen said.

Xiao Lang took a deep breath and said, "This time, I participated in the battle over at Soul-breaking Gorge and have been contemplating how to form a Seven-Star Sword Array by oneself.

Meanwhile, I've also discussed with several people skilled in Seven-Star Sword Array for a long time. We've thought of some ways to solve the difficulty of forming the array alone.

Ye Chen, your talent is unrivaled, and with our experience paving the way for you, I think you really have a great chance of succeeding."

Ye Chen: "..."

He thought it was something serious!

Just this?

"Hall Master Xiao, you just returned to the True Martial Hall, right?" Ye Chen said.

Xiao Lang responded with a hum and said, "Don't interrupt, now listen carefully to what I'm telling you. After I finish, if there's anything you don't understand, then ask me."

"Wait..." Ye Chen said.

Xiao Lang was somewhat displeased.

Already said, don't interrupt!

My injuries are severe and can't afford to waste time...

Ye Chen: "Hall Master Xiao, look."

With those words, Ye Chen moved with his mind, and with a swishing sound.

Seven top-grade spiritual swords instantly shot out from his storage ring, flying and spinning around.

The sword light was brilliant like starlight, agile and graceful!

Xiao Lang was dumbfounded.

"This... you... what's going on!" Xiao Lang's tone was stuttering, unable to believe what he saw.

Ye Chen calmly said, "Hall Master Xiao, this is the Seven-Star Sword Array."

Xiao Lang took a deep breath and said, "I know this is the Seven-Star Sword Array!"

Ye Chen laughed and said, "I figured it out myself, but still thanks for Hall Master Xiao's good intentions. Once Hall Master Xiao recovers from his injuries, I can teach you."

Xiao Lang really felt like hitting his head against tofu and ending it all.

Originally, he wanted to guide Ye Chen, to help him take fewer detours.

But it turned out... Ye Chen, he figured out the method to form the array alone!

How long has Ye Chen been exposed to the Seven-Star Sword Array?

Xiao Lang remembered very clearly, the last time he went to Soul-breaking Gorge, he had just handed over the basic seven-star swordsmanship to Ye Chen!

It was handed over, not taught!

Because, at that time, there was no time to instruct Ye Chen, just handed him the swordsmanship, letting Ye Chen learn on his own.

Now it's good, in just over a month, Ye Chen has accomplished something countless people from the Seven Stars Hall have wanted to do, but have never succeeded!

So... all his recent pondering, pulling people at the Soul-breaking Gorge battlefield whenever he had a bit of time to discuss, was entirely meaningless!

Ye Chen called out Hall Master Xiao.

Xiao Lang came to his senses and said, "Alright, once my injury is healed, I'll consult you!"

Although he is the Hall Master of Seven Stars Hall, consulting a True Martial Guard who just joined the True Martial Hall for a few months, and consulting regarding the hallmark of Seven Stars Hall, is somewhat embarrassing.

But forming the array alone is too important, embarrassed or not, let's learn first!

Passing the method of forming the Seven-Star Sword Array alone to Xiao Lang wasn't just words for Ye Chen.

Xiao Lang had unreservedly given him everything about the Seven-Star Sword Array at that time, risking his life against foreign tribes at the Soul-breaking Gorge battlefield while still researching the matter, and the first thing upon meeting Ye Chen was wanting to tell him the recent findings.

All these were acts of kindness!

Besides, the Seven-Star Sword Array wasn't something formidable, Ye Chen had heard from Luo Qingyi that there was sword array inheritance within the Sword Tomb, and once the fifth layer of the Sword Tomb gets accessible, he can obtain it.

So, to Ye Chen, the Seven-Star Sword Array is just a transition.

"Hall Master Xiao, then I'll await your speedy recovery news, you better not waste any more time now, quickly go and heal," Ye Chen said.

Xiao Lang hummed and then immediately flew away to find a suitable place to heal!

And Ye Chen also immediately left Qingye Grotto Heaven.

Since Xiao Lang has returned, Old Tian and Su Yun should be back as well!

Earlier, he didn't dare ask because he was worried about hearing some bad news from Xiao Lang.

Although Old Tian seems unreliable, he's still a good person, and Su Yun spoils him... Ye Chen didn't want anything to happen to them.

When Ye Chen returned to his place's cultivation chamber via that leaf of Qingye.

Suddenly, six eyes, staring widely, fixed on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen: "..."

Startled!

Seeing Old Tian, Su Yun, and Mu Qingqing staring at him, the heavy stone in Ye Chen's heart, finally settled down.

All back, that's good!

Tian Bugui's eyes flickered and said, "You came out from Qingye Grotto Heaven?"

Su Yun looked puzzled and said, "Since when did that old guy become so easy-going? He actually gave you this thing!"

Ye Chen coughed lightly and said, "Brother Chun is pretty nice."

Brother Chun?

Tian Bugui and Su Yun both twitched at the corners of their mouths.

This kid Ye Chen, calling Shi Fengchun Brother Chun?

Su Yun glanced at Mu Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, step out for a moment."

The upcoming matters shouldn't involve Mu Qingqing.

After sending Mu Qingqing out, Tian Bugui waved his hand, and a strong force suddenly enveloped the entire cultivation room.

"Old Tian, Hall Master Su, what's going on?" Ye Chen asked.

"Hmm?" Tian Bugui's gaze was unfriendly as he said, "What did you call me?"

Ye Chen shrank his neck, having gotten used to complaining about Old Tian in his heart, he had said it out loud by accident.

Su Yun glared at Tian Bugui, protecting Ye Chen, and said, "As the Hall Master of Bright Hall, are you so petty and narrow-minded? What kind of behavior is that!"

"I..." Tian Bugui felt exhausted.

Su Yun said, "Ye Chen, let us see your storage ring. It's for your own good, trust us!"

Ye Chen immediately guessed the reason.

It seemed the fierce attack by the three major alien tribes at Soul-breaking Gorge was really related to the Spatial Brand. Old Tian must've thought of the pile of stuff he had casually given him before.

Should he tell them?

Ye Chen thought for a moment, then decided against it.

The fewer people who knew, the safer he was.

This wasn't about trust!

Moreover, telling them wouldn't help now; what he needed was to gather a large batch of resources to send to Grotto Heaven, and he could solve the resource problem by himself, no need to find more help!

So Ye Chen took off the storage ring, erased the mental imprint, and handed it to Old Tian and Su Yun.

Su Yun took the storage ring and poured out all the contents.

Just a few items, pitifully poor.

Tian Bugui and Su Yun were stunned looking at the things before them!

This poor?!

Tian Bugui said, "Where are the things I gave you last time?"

Ye Chen: "Almost all were cultivation resources, I used them all up."

"How did you use them up?" Tian Bugui pressed.

Ye Chen said, "Used them for normal cultivation."

"What is this mask?" Su Yun picked up the mask, curiously asking.

Ye Chen, with an unchanged expression, said, "Sometimes I do things that aren't convenient to do openly..."

Tian Bugui said seriously, "As people of Bright Hall, we don't need to be secretive in our actions!"

Su Yun chuckled.

"Tian Bugui, when you visit those places in Liu Lane, what identity do you use?"

Tian Bugui immediately turned red-faced and then picked up the Sword Box, saying, "What is this then?"

"Sword Array!" Ye Chen controlled the seven top-grade spiritual swords inside, making them fly out and form the Seven-Star Sword Array.

Tian Bugui and Su Yun's eyes widened again.

Su Yun started laughing joyfully, "Good, worthy of being our Bright Hall's genius, hahaha, you even managed to form an array all by yourself."

Tian Bugui with a stern face, said, "I see you've reached the Third Layer of Transcendence. Your progress in cultivation isn't bad either. It seems you've reaped quite a bit recently in the Green Leaf Grotto Heaven.

However, remember to stay humble and cautious. In a while, I'll take you to spar with some of the geniuses from the Qingyun Ranking to prepare for a future place on that list."

Younger folks tend to be arrogant, so Tian Bugui thought it was necessary to knock some sense into Ye Chen.

Being too arrogant isn't good.

Now he was already calling him Old Tian, if it escalated further, wouldn't he start calling him Little Tian?!

"Old... Hall Master Tian."

Ye Chen almost let it slip as Old Tian again but quickly corrected himself, wearing a faint smile, and said, "Qingyun Ranking, I've already made it in, eighty-sixth place."

Tian Bugui's jaw almost dropped to the ground. He cast a glance at Ye Chen, flashed away, and left to verify the truth of the news!

Su Yun's eyes were burning, breathing rapidly, her ample chest heaving vigorously.

Ye Chen couldn't shake the feeling that Su Yun seemed to want to devour him...

A few breaths later, Tian Bugui returned.

He had just caught and asked a few people and confirmed that Ye Chen indeed wasn't boasting... he truly was the genuine eighty-sixth on the Qingyun Ranking...

At this point, Tian Bugui didn't know what to say anymore!

Suddenly.

Su Yun exclaimed, "Tian Bugui, look, this is Lin Wen's Super Detonator Talisman!"

Su Yun picked up a talisman from the pile of things on the ground.

Tian Bugui looked over, and his expression changed dramatically!
