Chapter 944: Drag Him Out and Castrate Him!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fifteen minutes later, four beams of light shot out from the crack.
Emperor Brush’s weapon spirit, Night Demon, and Ye Wushuang carried a naked old man out.
The old man’s body was illusory, and he was most likely the heavenly map’s artifact spirit. However, his face was swollen and bruised.
He knelt before Ye Chen immediately after Night Demon kicked him, “Master, we’ve captured this old man for you. Tell us what you want to do with him!”
Ye Chen looked over with a strange expression.
The person kneeling before him was an immortal-like old man. He seemed like an ancient scholar, cultured and refined.
However, he had been stripped naked. Even his spirit body had been sealed by Emperor Brush’s weapon spirit. He could not unleash any power.
“All of you are truly disgraceful!”
The old man crossed his legs and covered his chest with his hands. He tried his best to cover private parts, and his thin body shivered with anger.
He was, after all, a high-grade dao artifact spirit refined by a saint and had once suppressed a saint. Who would have thought that he would be treated like this?
The most shocking thing was that Emperor Brush, Night Demon, Wushuang’s weapon spirits were nothing weaker than him.
“Disgraceful?”
Night Demon chuckled, “Old thing, if you don’t behave, I’ll castrate you later!”
The elder immediately shivered, feeling incomparably ashamed and resentful.
Ye Chen looked at him calmly, “How do I address you?”
“My name is Mei Naizhao!” The old artifact spirit smiled proudly, seemingly very proud of his name.
“No bra?”
Night Demon burst into laughter, “It’s a good name!”
“What are you laughing at?”
Mei Naizhao saw Night Demon’s intense reaction. Although he had no idea why, he still sensed that he was teasing him.
Ye Chen shook his head lightly while he looked at him expressionlessly from behind. He enunciated word by word, “You were refined by the nine saints? Where did they go?”
“If you want me to betray my master, just give up. I won’t tell you even if you beat me to death.” Mei Naizhao was very determined.
Ye Chen nodded and looked at the three of them, “Drag him out and castrate him. Remember to castrate him clean.”
Mei Naizhao’s face turned green.
“Alright...”
Night Demon chuckled and grabbed him, “You’re not covered, are you? I’ll make sure you don’t have a dick later.”
“No, don’t...”
Mei Naizhao saw that the situation was off and was completely terrified. He hurriedly said, “I’ll speak, I’ll speak!”
“Such a coward!”
Night Demon released him.
Ye Chen squinted, “Tell me everything you know. If you hide anything, I’ll castrate you, cut you, and castrate you again!”
Mei Naizhao shuddered and replied like a bamboo tube spilling beans, “I was indeed created by a saint. It was the Kong family’s saint who created me, but I don’t know where the saints have gone.”
Seeing that something was wrong with Ye Chen’s expression, he wailed immediately, “I really have no idea. When the saint created me, I was only a hazy spirituality and didn’t have a clear consciousness.”
“Do you know what kind of catastrophe happened in the Kunlun Ruins 500 years ago?” Ye Chen looked at him with a judging expression.
Mei Naizhao organized his thoughts and said, “My spirituality was completely awakened 1,000 years ago. At that time, the nine saints had already left this world. Only a portion of the saints still lived in this world.
“Eight hundred years ago, the world suddenly underwent a drastic change. The heaven and earth essence energy was drained, and the spiritual opportunity gradually decreased. Without the heaven and earth essence energy and the spiritual opportunity, the saints found it difficult to survive. A great war broke out between them...”
At this point, Mei Naizhao’s expression turned grave, “The battle even reached the mortal world. In order to compete for the heaven and earth essence energy, the saints joined forces and attacked the West. This triggered a world war between the East and the Western cultivation world. Countless people died.
“Only a third of the saints who later entered the world returned. Some of them were unwilling to sit still and wait for death, so they searched for the legendary heavenly path. They wanted to leave this world, but some were unwilling to part with their homeland, so they ended their lives and reincarnated, embarking on the path of reconstruction...
“For the group of people who remained, as the heaven and earth essence energy decreased and the spiritual opportunity completely disappeared, they were finally assimilated into the world.”
Ye Chen said upon hearing that, “What’s the heavenly path?”
“At that time, the saints firmly believed that there was an even larger place to live in the cosmos other than the Celestial Burial Planet, or even a higher civilization.”
Mei Naizhao said in a low voice, “The path to the outer world is called the heavenly path. Unfortunately, I don’t know if the heavenly path exists!”
Ye Chen’s eyes flickered.
From the looks of it, since ancient times, the saints had been investigating places outside of Earth. In fact, they were not wrong. In this endless universe, there were indeed planets and worlds that were more civilized than Earth.
“You said earlier that the great calamity began 800 years ago, all the way until 500 years ago, a total of 300 years!”
Ye Chen said, “In other words, the saints have completely vanished from this world in the past 300 years?”
At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and hesitated to speak, “Back then, I once eavesdropped on the previous sect master of Purple Cap Mountain. The Purple Cap saint said that the upheaval seemed to be related to the outer world.”
Ye Chen’s calm expression finally changed after hearing that, “Is it related to the outer world?”
“That’s right!”
Mei Naizhao said in a deep voice, “Back then, the Purple Cap saint was the strongest among the saints of the Kunlun Ruins. He had once sensed the projection of the Divine Consciousness of an extraterrestrial creature outside the Celestial Burial Planet!”
He paused for a moment, his expression somewhat nervous, “I’ve also sensed this kind of Divine Consciousness before. Although it was only for a second, it made me feel like I was being seen through.”
Ye Chen did not say a word as his eyes flickered. In reality, waves were surging in his heart too.
He knew better than the saints and Mei Naizhao what kind of civilization there was in the outer world. Therefore, in his opinion, the Divine Consciousness should be the Divine Consciousness released by a powerful cultivator when they crossed the Path of Stars.
‘To be able to cross the Ancient Path of Stars, one has to be at least on the God Transformation Stage, or even higher!’
Ye Chen secretly frowned, ‘Could it be that a foreign cultivator discovered the existence of Earth 800 years ago, or more accurately, 2,000 years ago?’
He was not too worried about merely the cultivators from the outer world. After all, no matter how powerful cultivators were, they were still not immortals.
The only thing he was worried about was that his traitorous disciple in the Immortal World found out that he was still alive, so he sent people to search for him.
No matter if he sent an immortal, even if it was a Golden Immortal or a Heavenly Immortal, Ye Chen would not be able to handle it.
‘Looks like I need to recover my strength faster. This way, even if my traitorous disciple found my whereabouts, I can still fight him!’
Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief as he thought to this point, ‘However, before that, I have to destroy this so-called Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy Seal!’
