The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3112 - 3107: Sword Servant?_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
With White Eagle Celestial acting as his guide, Yang Chen temporarily took up residence within the Yunhua Sect.
As he settled in, Yang Chen felt a growing curiosity regarding the true motives of the three brothers, White Eagle Celestial and his companions. Nevertheless, the trio remained silent on the subject throughout the following days.
Despite their silence, they treated him with such exceptional hospitality that Yang Chen began to feel slightly self-conscious.
He attempted to probe for information through indirect questions, but a straightforward answer never materialized.
This didn't cause Yang Chen much anxiety; he simply decided that if they didn't bring it up, he wouldn't ask. He knew they would eventually have to reveal their intentions, and if their request crossed his personal bottom line, he could always choose to depart.
In this manner, time slipped away, and a full month passed by.
It had to be admitted that choosing to come to the Yunhua Sect had been a very wise decision.
Originally, he had sought out the sect because he was troubled by the loss of various personal items, but he hadn't anticipated that the conditions provided by the three brothers of the Yunhua Sect would be so favorable.
Just as the month concluded, White Eagle Celestial arrived at his door wearing a wide grin. "Brother Yang Chen, I have managed to locate one of the missing items you were searching for," he announced.
Hearing such excellent news, Yang Chen was filled with joy. "Truly? Which of the items was recovered?"
White Eagle Celestial had been standing with his hands behind his back, but as he moved his arm forward, he produced a storage bag as if by magic.
The moment Yang Chen laid eyes on the bag, he understood exactly what it was.
"This is indeed the storage bag I lost. Fellow Daoist White Eagle, your capabilities are truly impressive to have helped me recover this. I am deeply grateful," Yang Chen said, his delight evident.
White Eagle Celestial let out a laugh. "It actually wasn't that difficult; more than anything, we had luck on our side. I dispatched someone who discovered it at a high-end Chamber of Commerce auction within Tali Country. They were in the middle of auctioning some of the elixirs you had stored inside, which had created quite a stir in that region. Even I was tempted by those elixirs. However, treasures are treasures, and as seductive as they were, they rightfully belong to Brother Yang Chen. Thus, I personally went to investigate."
"I didn't expect it to actually be Yang Chen's lost storage bag. Not long ago, the Chamber of Commerce people found it in some obscure location. They had hoped to make a massive profit from it, but unfortunately for them, they lost their chance since the items belong to you. Their dreams of a fortune simply vanished," White Eagle Celestial explained the situation in full detail.
Yang Chen let out a sigh, feeling that his fortune was indeed turning for the better.
"Regrettably, a few elixirs from the bag are missing as they had already been sold off. Our Yunhua Sect was unable to retrieve those. If Brother Yang Chen finds this problematic, the sect is prepared to offer you compensation," White Eagle Celestial noted.
By this time, Yang Chen had already inspected the contents and confirmed that a few elixirs were indeed gone.
However, such things were trivial. He couldn't possibly demand payment from someone who had just done him such a massive favor. He replied, "I am already incredibly thankful to you, Brother White Eagle, for helping me find this bag. To speak of compensation would be a joke."
"Haha, if Brother Yang Chen doesn't mind, then I shall take my leave. I won't disturb you further." White Eagle Celestial cupped his hands and departed.
Holding his storage bag, Yang Chen shook his head inwardly.
Given his temperament, he felt uneasy owing such a significant debt of gratitude without repaying it.
White Eagle Celestial had gone to such lengths that if the Yunhua Sect eventually asked for his assistance, he would find it impossible to refuse.
He still remained in the dark about what specific help the Yunhua Sect required.
But for now, with the storage bag back in his possession, there was no reason to fret. The bag was filled with numerous rare and precious elixirs.
With these resources, returning to the peak of his power would be a simple task.
Beaming with satisfaction, Yang Chen opened the bag, retrieved the elixirs, and commenced the refining process.
Using the very elixirs he had refined and saved during his prime to aid his recovery, it was only a matter of time before his full strength returned.
In less than ten days, his cultivation was perfectly restored to the Middle Boundaryless Stage.
His comprehension of the laws had also been fully reinstated.
Sensing the familiar power of the laws once more, Yang Chen finally felt a sense of relief.
With his mastery over the laws returned, he possessed the necessary qualifications to survive an encounter with King-level powerhouses. Only now did he feel he could truly hold his own within a realm; otherwise, he would have remained uneasy.
Another dozen days passed in this fashion.
Finally, White Eagle Celestial could no longer restrain himself and paid another visit.
Yang Chen suspected that White Eagle Celestial had a specific reason for this visit. It seemed they were finally getting to the heart of the matter.
"Daoist friend Yang Chen," White Eagle Celestial called out, entering with a familiar smile and no hint of hesitation.
"What brings Fellow Daoist White Eagle here today?" Yang Chen asked with a friendly tone.
Upon hearing this, White Eagle Celestial stopped hiding his true purpose. "Brother Yang Chen, you've likely guessed by now. Our Yunhua Sect assisted you because we actually hope for your help in return."
"I understand. I'm curious, though—how does Brother White Eagle wish for me to assist?" Yang Chen responded evenly.
White Eagle Celestial hesitated for a brief moment before asking, "Brother Yang Chen, do you know the reason why my two senior brothers are unable to leave the great formation?"
"Why is that?" Yang Chen inquired, looking genuinely puzzled.
"It is because there is a hidden location deep beneath the grounds of our Yunhua Sect. We refer to it as the Sword Tomb Land," White Eagle Celestial revealed.
"The Sword Tomb Land?" Yang Chen was taken aback.
White Eagle Celestial gave a weary smile. "Indeed, the Sword Tomb Land. It's only natural that Brother Yang Chen hasn't heard of it. Let me explain from the beginning. Eons ago, our Yunhua Sect was established by a man named Xiao Qingfeng. At the height of his power, Ancestor Qingfeng reached the Heavenly Extreme Realm and possessed peerless sword techniques. In the path of the sword Dao, he was virtually without equal."
Yang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, surprised to learn of such a prestigious history behind the Yunhua Sect.
"Following the great tribulation, our ancestor transformed his myriad sword laws into countless sword servants. He then sealed these, along with his inner world, beneath the peaks of the Yunhua Sect, leaving this great formation behind as a protective shroud," White Eagle Celestial explained at a measured pace.
Yang Chen remained confused, however. "Sword servants? What was the ancestor's goal in turning his laws into sword servants?"
"Because these sword servants embody the ancestor's sword laws, anyone capable of defeating one would gain the opportunity to grasp the true essence of those laws. This is the most significant inheritance the ancestor left for his descendants. Sadly, we of the later generations have not been worthy of his legacy..." White Eagle Celestial said, shaking his head in disappointment.
