Chapter 293: Chapter 260: The Broken Divine Sword
Elder Xiao Supreme Elder, please be the recommender and invite Ye Chen to join the First Holy Temple of the Heavenly Sacred Palace!
Lend out the Divine Artifact "Fallen Sword" for him to cultivate within!
The two matters mentioned by Mu Qingqing took the breath away from countless warriors of the Tai'a Sword Sect by her side, their hearts pounding wildly.
They finally understood why the mysterious girl and boy had fearlessly approached the Tai'a Sword Sect, even daring to face Elder Liu without trepidation.
So it turned out that their visit was related to the Heavenly Sacred Palace!
To invite this youth named Ye Chen to join the First Holy Temple of the Heavenly Sacred Palace!
The warriors of the Tai'a Sword Sect had heard that only envoys of the Heavenly Sacred Palace could invite others to join, and this girl was an envoy of the Heavenly Sacred Palace!
No wonder she knew Elder Xiao the Supreme Elder, no wonder her grandfather was someone even Elder Xiao the Supreme Elder would treat with great caution, she indeed had such a powerful background to be an envoy even within the number one great sect of the Central Region, the "Heavenly Sacred Palace"!
And then there was the First Holy Temple.
Those who knew of the Heavenly Sacred Palace were even more aware of the First Holy Temple, which was the most precious place of cultivation within the entire Heavenly Sacred Palace, second only to the "Heavenly Saint Mountain" where the Heavenly Saints resided, and it could even be said to be a place where only the most exceptional geniuses below the Heavenly Saint Realm could enter.
Elder Xiao Supreme Elder was the Vice Hall Master of the First Holy Temple.
This girl actually invited this young man to join the First Holy Temple, it is said that joining the First Holy Temple requires a recommendation from a Heavenly Saint, so she came to see Elder Xiao Supreme Elder in order to have him recommend this young man to join the First Holy Temple!
Looking at Ye Chen, the countless warriors of the Tai'a Sword Sect envied him greatly.
The Heavenly Sacred Palace, the First Holy Temple!
This place, legendary among countless cultivators within the three great dynasties of the Central Region, was now within the reach of this youth before them!
Then they thought of the second matter mentioned by the girl, the Divine Artifact, "Fallen Sword."
As disciples of the Tai'a Sword Sect, they knew exactly what it was.
The Divine Artifact "Fallen Sword," a place where even many talented sword cultivators of their Tai'a Sword Sect did not have the privilege to cultivate within, and this girl was actually requesting Elder Xiao Supreme Elder's help to allow this young man to cultivate inside the Divine Artifact "Fallen Sword." This was truly another great opportunity, in addition to joining the First Holy Temple of the Heavenly Sacred Palace!
In the end, all the disciples of the Tai'a Sword Sect turned their gazes to Elder Xiao Supreme Elder in the void, to see if he would agree to the girl's request.
If Elder Xiao Supreme Elder agreed to these two requests, then this youth named Ye Chen would be able to join the First Holy Temple of the Heavenly Sacred Palace and also enter the Divine Artifact "Fallen Sword" to cultivate. They would be incredibly envious of such fortune bestowed upon this warrior.
Ye Chen also looked toward Elder Xiao Supreme Elder.
Although he did not know what Mu Qingqing meant by the Divine Artifact, "Fallen Sword," the mere mention of the term "Divine Artifact" left him astonished.
He had long heard from Mu Qingqing that she would create an opportunity for him to cultivate a high-level sword formation within the Tai'a Sword Sect, but he hadn't expected this cultivation opportunity to be related to a Divine Artifact!
And the matter of Elder Xiao Supreme Elder's recommendation mattered even more to Ye Chen.
He wished to go to the First Holy Temple, and if Elder Xiao Supreme Elder nodded, then there would be no problem, and he would truly become a disciple of the "Heavenly Sacred Palace."
Thinking of this, even though Elder Xiao Supreme Elder's eyes seemed to contain endless voids within them, so terrifying that even one's mind and spirit could be affected, Ye Chen stared back at Elder Xiao Supreme Elder.
Because Ye Chen knew, after Elder Xiao Supreme Elder heard these two requests, he would surely scrutinize him. If he lacked the courage to even lift his head, then Elder Xiao Supreme Elder would surely think less of him and would not agree to these requests.
Boom!
As Ye Chen had anticipated, when Mu Qingqing put forward the two requests, while countless warriors of the Tai'a Sword Sect were taken aback, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder in the void, his eyes blazing like divine lightning, began to scrutinize Ye Chen with full attention.
Previously, when Elder Xiao Supreme Elder had casually glanced at Ye Chen, it made him feel as if his entire being was transparent.
Now, under the full attention of Elder Xiao Supreme Elder, Ye Chen felt as if his entire spirit, and even all his sword intents, began to surge wildly!
In that instant, from the moment he stepped onto the path of the sword, starting from his first set of sword skills, "Torrential Rain Sword Skills," to his comprehension of Storm Rain Sword Intent, then to exchanging insights with Jiang Yao at Ten Thousand Swords Mountain and learning Purple Lightning Sword Intent, as well as Wind Sword Intent and Sword Intent of Thunder taught by the owner of Thousand Lotus Cave Abode, Heavenly Saint Qian Ji, and finally acquiring the Eight Great Sword Formations from his senior sister...
All of Ye Chen's sword intents and techniques burst forth like endless raging winds, wildly flailing under the gaze of Elder Xiao Supreme Elder.
Elder Xiao Supreme Elder seemed to see the endless path of Ye Chen's swordsmanship, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Even more so, by the end, when Elder Xiao Supreme Elder's scrutiny reached the spot between Ye Chen's eyebrows, the Sword Palace Acupoint within, the liquid from the sword qi began to surge violently, and even the flying sword "Chi Huo" began to move at great speed within the Sword Palace Acupoint.
At this moment, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder, who had been scrutinizing Ye Chen the whole time, had his eyes shining even more brilliantly.
Although he only had a vague sense of the power of the flying sword "Chi Huo" and couldn't truly see the flying sword Chi Huo hidden within Ye Chen's Sword Palace Acupoint, in that instant, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder felt a sword killing power that even he was taken aback by, as well as a type of sword qi that was all too familiar to him.
"It's actually Tai'a Sword Qi!"
"And you have also acquired a tremendously powerful flying sword!"
In the end, even Elder Xiao Supreme Elder couldn't help but utter a shocked praise.
His scrutiny of Ye Chen was a powerful and unparalleled divine consciousness examination, imperceptible to others.
But Ye Chen knew that in that instant, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder had almost come into contact with the flying sword Chi Huo hidden within his Sword Palace Acupoint, a secret unknown to everyone else.
Such terror from a mid-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouse, to be able to probe into the Sword Palace Acupoint!
If it weren't for the fact that the flying sword "Chi Huo" came from the "Heavenly God Palace" within the Chaotic Sea Area, an exceedingly precious top-grade divine artifact, he would likely have been directly seen by Elder Xiao Supreme Elder!
As for the Tai'a Sword Qi mentioned by Elder Xiao Supreme Elder, Ye Chen nodded his head in acknowledgment.
It was indeed Tai'a Sword Qi!
The Tai'a Sword Qi he had incorporated into his Sword Palace Acupoint was collected from the Tai'a Sword Forest of the Tai'a Sword Sect by Heavenly Saint Lian Yue in those years, and both Heavenly Saint Lian Yue and Heavenly Saint Qian Ji were disciples of this Tai'a Sword Sect.
This secret, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder had actually discovered directly!
Hearing that Ye Chen also had flying sword skills, Mu Qingqing's eyes lit up even more.
And Ye Chen, facing Elder Xiao Supreme Elder's exclamation about the Tai'a Sword Qi, no longer hesitated and revealed how he obtained the Tai'a Sword Qi from the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode.
"To think it's related to 'Qian Ji' and 'Lian Yue'!"
When Elder Xiao Supreme Elder heard about Ye Chen's connection to Heavenly Saint Qian Ji and Heavenly Saint Lian Yue, and that Heavenly Saint Qian Ji had gone to the Minor Spirit Realm and Heavenly Saint Lian Yue had been injured, his hair, floating like sword qi, began to tremble wildly.

"Qian Ji and Lian Yue were disciples I personally took under my wing. Later, they said they wanted to venture into the Chaotic Sea Area, and I haven't seen them for hundreds of years. I never expected such a significant incident to have occurred!"
Elder Xiao Supreme Elder shared a shocking secret.
Heavenly Saint Qian Ji and Heavenly Saint Lian Yue were actually his disciples!
This greatly astonished Ye Chen!
And the rest of the Tai'a Sword Sect martial artists, upon hearing the names of Heavenly Saint Qian Ji and Heavenly Saint Lian Yue, also cried out in shock.
These two names were highly reputable in the Tai'a Sword Sect, having disappeared for hundreds of years; unexpectedly, they were related to the youth before them!
And Mu Qingqing, although unaware of the matters concerning Heavenly Saint Qian Ji and Heavenly Saint Lian Yue, saw that Ye Chen was still hiding secrets associated with the Tai'a Sword Sect even under the scrutiny of Elder Xiao Supreme Elder.
Ye Chen actually had a connection with both of Elder Xiao Supreme Elder's disciples!
This made Mu Qingqing even happier.
"Ye Chen truly has great destiny."
"To have such a connection with Elder Xiao as well!"
With this, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder would be even more inclined to agree to the two requests she had made earlier!
Indeed.
After scrutinizing Ye Chen, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder, who was already greatly impressed by Ye Chen's achievements on the path of the sword, discovered Ye Chen's flying sword secret, the Tai'a Sword Qi, and even the affairs of Heavenly Saint Qian Ji and Heavenly Saint Lian Yue. When he looked at Ye Chen again, his eyes held an inexplicable sense of esteem.
Finally, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder nodded towards Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing.
"Alright, I agree to your two requests!"
"Ye Chen, at such a young age, to possess such combat power, able to overpower someone in the middle phase of the Elixir Rotating stage while only in the middle phase of the Spiritual Sea stage, and to achieve so much in the way of Sword Intent without specializing in sword techniques, of course, I will strongly recommend you to join the First Holy Temple of the Heavenly Sacred Palace!"
"Moreover, you have a connection with Qian Ji and Lian Yue, which means you also have a destined connection with our Tai'a Sword Sect. Given that, I will comply with the young lady's request, make an exception, and allow you to cultivate inside the Divine Artifact 'Fallen Sword'!"
"Let us go, I will take you to see the 'Fallen Sword' right now!"
Elder Xiao Supreme Elder said to Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing.
Upon hearing Elder Xiao Supreme Elder's agreement, both Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing's expressions brightened.
"Thank you, Elder Xiao!"
"Thank you, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder!"
Mu Qingqing and Ye Chen both expressed their gratitude to Elder Xiao Supreme Elder simultaneously.
…
Boom!
Having agreed to both requests of Mu Qingqing and Ye Chen, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder did not stay in the void outside the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion any longer.
His gaze swept across the Tai'a Sword Sect disciples nearby but he did not speak; all of the Tai'a Sword Sect disciples were clearly frightened and did not dare to raise their heads.
Subsequently, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder waved his long sleeve towards Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing, and they immediately rose from the ground. Then, tearing through the void, he led Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing into a spatial rift, vanishing from the sky in an instant.
The martial artists from the Tai'a Sword Sect outside the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion only dared to raise their heads after they were gone.
Seeing Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing being taken away by Elder Xiao Supreme Elder, and thinking back to the matters concerning the Heavenly Sacred Palace and the Divine Artifact "Fallen Sword" they mentioned earlier, a wave of unstoppable discussion immediately swept through all the martial artists.
Amidst these discussions, Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing, at this moment, had already been led by Elder Xiao Supreme Elder into the Tai'a Sword Sect, to an endless expanse of mountain peaks.
"Could that be the Divine Artifact 'Fallen Sword'?!"
Standing atop a peak, Ye Chen looked ahead and was shocked to see a colossal sword piercing the earth not far in front of the mountain.
This sword was a staggering ten thousand meters tall, with the tip thrust into the ground, and even its scabbard was hidden within the clouds of the void!
Looking further at the sword's body, one could vaguely see cracks along the giant ten-thousand-meter sword, indicating it was damaged, and the undamaged parts of the sword body were carved with numerous strange patterns which, in the void, emitted endless sword radiance!
The entire ten thousand meter tall giant sword, whether it was the tip embedded in the ground, the damaged sword body, or the scabbard nestled in the clouds of the void, was surrounded by a terrifying red aura.
Even from a distance, Ye Chen could feel the red aura attacking his mind, and a fearsome sound of battle immediately surged through his consciousness.
As Ye Chen examined the colossal sword, Mu Qingqing, standing beside him, had her beautiful eyes shining brightly, and Elder Xiao Supreme Elder, also beside him, finally spoke, "This is the Divine Artifact 'Fallen Sword'! A broken divine sword that has fallen from the higher realms!"
