BXBX NOVEL Chapter 991: The Only Hope
Ye Chen stared at the stone tablet that had risen from the ground.
The stone tablet seemed to possess a magical power that drew Ye Chen’s eyes to it, despite the fact that he could not recognize the words and patterns on it.
He could feel the black stone in his pocket trying to break free and fly out.
The tombstones in the Samsara Graveyard also started to shake.
He was almost certain that this stone tablet was closely related to the Samsara Graveyard.
The old woman naturally noticed Ye Chen’s puzzled expression. She stood up and said with interest, “It looks like you recognize this stone tablet too.”
“Right, I haven’t introduced myself. You’re not from the Holy Herb Valley, so you don’t have to call me sect master. Just call me Senior Ruo.”
Ye Chen’s expression remained unchanged.
Before confirming the other party’s identity, he naturally would not try to get close to her.
“Where did you get this stone tablet? Also, why were you waiting for me?”
“I heard from Luo that you’ve been waiting for me for over a thousand years. I wasn’t even born a thousand years ago. Don’t tell me you’re using some heaven-defying technique to divine my existence. If you had such a heaven-defying technique, why would you be trapped in the Blood Spirit Secret Realm?”
When Senior Ruo heard Ye Chen’s question, she laughed heartily. She was not displeased by Ye Chen’s attitude at all.
“Your question is very good. I will naturally answer you.”
“Actually, your two questions can be considered as one question.”
“This stone tablet is the biggest reason why I’m sure it’s you. With your current cultivation level, you can’t read the words on it, right?”
Ye Chen did not speak, waiting for the other party’s answer.
Senior Ruo walked over to the stone tablet and forced out a drop of blood essence from her fingertip.
“The words on it are somewhat different from those in Huaxia, so it’s natural that you don’t recognize them. However, I can use a technique that will allow you to understand what these words mean.”
After saying that, Senior Ruo gently wiped the blood essence on her fingertip onto Ye Chen’s eyes, causing them to glow red.
Ye Chen was shocked to find that the words on the stone tablet had begun to change!
The ancient characters actually transformed into words he understood!
He could make out the words Ye Chen, Imperial Dragon, Reincarnation, and the Blood Spirit Clan, among others.
Due to the passage of time, most of the words were incomplete or illegible, so Ye Chen could not piece together what they said.
Senior Ruo picked up the teapot and poured another cup of tea for Ye Chen. “You should believe me now. I didn’t choose you. This tombstone chose you.”
“In ancient times, meteorites from outer space fell on Earth. There were a total of five stone tablets.”
“One of them is the one you’re seeing now. As for the other four pieces, I only know the whereabouts of one other after so many years. As for the remaining three, I have been unable to find them. They’ve either been hidden by certain forces, or have not been discovered.”
“Perhaps they landed somewhere deep in the sea.”
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed when he heard this. He said subconsciously, “The other one you know about belongs to the Ye family of the Kunlun Mountains, right?”
Senior Ruo’s expression changed when she heard that name. She was even a little surprised. However, very quickly, her surprise disappeared and she said, “That’s right. Your surname is Ye. I, so guess you’re from that family. In that case, it makes sense that you know about this.”
“The stone tablet of the Ye family seems to be even more powerful. Unfortunately, after I arrived at the Ye family back then, the stone tablet disappeared. I heard that it was transformed by someone. I wonder if that’s the reason why I couldn’t find it.”
Ye Chen felt the energy emanating from the black stone in his pocket and smiled.
These five stone tablets probably had different attributes, but the most important one was undoubtedly the Samsara Graveyard.
If the Samsara Graveyard had not been activated, Ye Chen would not be where he was today.
“You asked me to come here to talk about these things? I’m in a hurry. If you have something to say, say it quickly.”
Senior Ruo smiled when she heard Ye Chen’s words. “Young man, you’re quite hot-tempered.”
“I’ve stayed in the Blood Spirit Secret Realm for so long, and established the Holy Herb Valley to fight the six Blood Spirit Clan experts.”
“These experts of the Blood Spirit Clan can be said to be prisoners of war. As for why we didn’t kill them, it’s because the power in the bodies of the Blood Spirit Clan is different from the cultivators of the Kunlun Mountains.”
“Their bloodline and strength are like upgraded versions of our own.”
“Also, the Blood Spirit Clan will send people to the Kunlun Mountains every once in a while to take away 100 Supreme Emperor realm experts.”
“Every time that happens, the Kunlun Mountains suffer a huge loss!”
“From ancient times until now, we have been on the losing end countless times. In the end, only a few of us top-notch experts were left to guard this secret. The cultivation environment of the entire Kunlun Mountains has also fallen into a state of exhaustion.”
“We know better than anyone that the Kunlun Mountains will be devoured by the Blood Spirit Tribe one day. Only by finding the weakness of the Blood Spirit Clan and exploiting it will the Kunlun Mountains have a chance of survival.”
“I stayed here and interacted with the six people from the Blood Spirit Clan countless times before I understood the words on the stone tablet.”
“The words on the stone tablet reveal the only possibility of changing our fate. That possibility’s name is Ye Chen, and he rides a divine blood dragon!”
“I always thought that Ye Chen was a mighty figure from an outer world. One day, I suddenly wondered if Ye Chen was born in the Kunlun Mountains.”
“As for the rest, you should know. You are the person I have been searching for!”
Ye Chen found it unbelievable.
He was only an origin king realm cultivator, so there was no way he possessed the ability to crush the Blood Spirit Clan’s experts.
He really could not understand why everyone thought so highly of him.
Also, why did he have to deal with such a powerful existence like the Blood Spirit Clan alone?
Could it be because of the Samsara Graveyard?
If even the hundred ancient mighty experts in the Samsara Graveyard were unable to defeat the Blood Spirit Clan, how could he, a young man in his twenties, accomplish this feat?
Ye Chen shook his head and dismissed the thoughts in his mind.
“So now that you’ve found me, what do you want me to do next?”
” I’ll make it clear that I won’t obey your orders. I have my own way of fighting the Blood Spirit Clan.”
Senior Ruo narrowed her eyes and stared at Ye Chen.
She hesitated for a long time before she finally spoke. “I want to know something. Do you have any information about the mighty experts who disappeared in the ancient war?”
“No, I don’t,” Ye Chen said directly.
Senior Ruo seemed to be deep in thought. She continued, “Alright, I won’t question you regarding that. I’m more concerned about another problem. The Blood Spirit Clan will descend on the Kunlun Mountains in a year and a half. Are you planning to go there?”
“Killing the elders of the Blood Spirit Clan is useless. Only by dealing with their true experts and leaders can we change the current situation.”
“There’s one thing that I might as well tell you. The Blood Spirit Clan’s experts’ strength far exceeds the Supreme Emperor realm. Since the stone tablet chose you, it must have a reason for doing so. I hope that you can take this stone tablet and completely destroy the Blood Spirit Clan. You’re the only hope I can see for the future.”
