“Right now, the most important thing for you is to increase your strength. Only when you reach a certain level of strength will you be able to unearth the secrets of the Samsara Graveyard.”
“The secrets of the Samsara Graveyard?” Ye Chen frowned as he asked, “I’ve always wanted to know. You’re all such powerful experts, so why are you trapped in there?”
Chen Qingcang was stunned. He stared into space as if he was lost in thought.
“It’s not worth thinking about what happened thousands of years ago. “Moreover, your level is far from sufficient to learn about such things.”
“Ye Chen, when your strength reaches the appropriate level, one of the experts from the Samsara Graveyard will naturally reveal what happened to you. Right now, you are not qualified to know.”
“However, you must remember that the Samsara Graveyard must remain a secret, and you cannot allow it to fall into the hands of others. If anyone finds out about this secret, they must be killed without hesitation. Do not even consider enslaving them!”
Chen Qingcang’s tone was extremely serious, and his expression was grave.
Ye Chen’s expression turned serious as he held the black stone in his pocket tightly.
No one knew about this secret! Even Sun Yi and Xia Ruoxue did not know.
However! Chief Long, who had attacked the Ye family at Cloud Lake Manor, might have come for this black stone!
Fortunately, knowing the black stone did not mean that he knew about the Samsara Graveyard. After all, this black stone had accompanied Ye Chen for so many years, yet it was only recently that the Samsara Graveyard became accessible.
Even his parents did not know about it.
‘No matter what, once I have properly investigated Chief Long, I will kill him!’
Ye Chen made up his mind.
Chen Qingcang looked at Ye Chen deeply and said, “I don’t have much time left. Back then, I was the sect master of the Inferno sect. Although 1 wasn’t considered a top expert in that era, I still held a certain amount of authority.”
“Unfortunately, my disciples died in the war that eradicated countless sects from this world. Therefore, the Inferno sect no longer exists.”
“I’ve been cultivating all my life, but I didn’t expect to fail at the last step. That is my only regret.”
After saying that, Chen Qingcang’s eyes narrowed and he looked at Ye Chen seriously.
“Ye Chen, let me ask you. Are you willing to become my only disciple and accept my inheritance?”
“Your cultivation is trash and your talent is average. Even your bloodline is worthless in my eyes. All in all, you are an insignificant speck of dust.”
Ye Chen was a little displeased when he heard this. When he was in the Kunlun Mountains, the old man had clearly said that his level of talent was not bad. Why did Chen Qingcang look down on him so much?
However, on second thought, Chen Qingcang was a mighty figure from ancient times, so his evaluation and perspective were naturally based on that period of time, when cultivators were in abundance, and there were many peerless experts.
Chen Qingcang would probably rate most of the experts in the Kunlun Mountains as trash as well. Thinking this, he felt a little better.
Before Ye Chen could finish his thoughts, Chen Qingcang stepped forward and released a powerful aura.
“Although you have many flaws and are just a mortal ant, you control the Samsara Graveyard and have a hundred ancient experts behind you. You are destined to crush all living beings, and even the Heavenly Dao is helpless against you!”
“The Samsara Graveyard was born for you, and you exist for the Samsara Graveyard!”
“Do you acknowledge me as your second master?”
Hearing this, Ye Chen no longer hesitated and nodded. “I’m willing.”
“Good!”
Chen Qingcang’s face lit up as he laughed heartily. He formed a seal with his fingers, and an extremely powerful energy condensed on his finger.
Then, he pointed toward Ye Chen’s forehead!
In an instant, the entire room turned dark!
Then, in the darkness, a star appeared.
Countless streams of starlight poured into Ye Chen’s dantian!
“With your current cultivation level, you can only control a portion of my inheritance. As your cultivation level increases, more of this inheritance will become available to you.”
“When you can fully access the inheritance, I hope that you’ll be qualified to discover the secrets of the Samsara Graveyard!”
Chen Qingcang’s body gradually weakened!
His eyes turned red, and countless complicated emotions were reflected on his face as he thought of that unbearable and difficult past.
Ye Chen opened his eyes and naturally noticed the complicated look in Chen Qingcang’s eyes. For some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort in his heart.
The Samsara Graveyard was indeed heaven-defying.
However, why did every teacher he acknowledged disappear in the blink of an eye? Was this related to the path of reincarnation?
Just as Chen Qingcang’s figure was about to disappear, an ancient voice rang out, seemingly from the heavens.
It was desolate and sorrowful!
“Ye Chen, remember this! You are the one who will change things for us. You’re our only hope!”
Then, Chen Qingcang’s figure disappeared completely.
In the Samsara Graveyard, another tombstone shattered, and the third tombstone seemed to briefly flicker with light before calming down once more.
Ye Chen stood up, those final words lingered in his mind for a long time.
Their only hope?
Could it be that these ancient mighty figures were helping him without holding back because he was their hope?
What kind of joke was this? Whether it was Luo Yuntian or Chen Qingcang, both of them were existences that stood at the peak of this world. How could a qi transformation realm cultivator like him do anything to save these peerless experts?
However, he did not dwell on the matter. After all, it was as Chen Qingcang said. The most important thing he had to do now was become stronger.
He sat down cross-legged. He was about to break through again!
A crackling sound was heard from his body, and he could clearly feel every muscle in his body trembling. The spiritual energy in the surroundings were drawn into his body like a vortex, as his aura swept out.
“Today, not only will I break through to the fourth level of the qi transformation realm, but I will also break through to the fifth level! Break!”
His howl shook the secret chamber, as the black stone began to supply his body with endless amounts of spiritual energy.
The next morning.
Ye Chen opened his eyes and exhaled slowly. His body glowed with a glimmer of light.
After a night of cultivation, he had actually broken through to the peak of the fifth level of the qi transformation realm.
Furthemore, he had done this without any medicinal pills!
At the same time, he discovered a secret. Almost every time he encountered a mighty expert from the Samsara Graveyard, his cultivation level would increase.
However, he noticed that there was no movement from the third tombstone. There was not even any light.
From the memories and knowledge in his mind, he could tell that Chen Qingcang was obviously stronger than Luo Yuntian, whether it was in terms of combat prowess, experience, or techniques.
In that case, how terrifying would the expert within the third tombstone be?
However, most of the memories that Chen Qingcang gave him were inaccessible. Clearly, his cultivation level was not high enough..
