Chapter 323
Ye Chu remained silent. He knew the Weak Water ancestor was very strong, but hearing that she could fight a supreme being still shocked him. Just how powerful was she? Was he truly invincible below the supreme level in his time?
“Does his clan pattern carry the three thousand Weak Water profound techniques?” Ye Chu asked curiously.
The old madman shook his head and said, “I do not know. I thought it might. But for someone at that level, even if the clan pattern is identical, it would not contain them if he did not want it to. Perhaps he only left behind the principles and laws related to researching the supreme intent.”
Hearing the old madman say this, Ye Chu nodded. The clan pattern he obtained probably did not contain the three thousand Weak Water profound techniques. If it did, there would have been some sign of it.
No matter how generous the other party was, he would not easily give away such profound techniques from his clan.
Ye Chu breathed out lightly, ignored the matter, and said to the old madman, “In the Floating Life Palace, I only obtained this one clan pattern. I originally thought they had other methods. But…”
Ye Chu sighed. He wondered if one clan pattern could really help him resolve the hidden issue with the supreme intent.
“With his methods, one clan pattern is enough. It can fully contain his principles and laws. You can slowly comprehend it and understand what he realised.” The old madman paused here, then continued, “Besides, he has always looked for people to break through the supreme intent together with him. So do not expect his principles and laws to solve your supreme intent problem for you. The principles and laws derived from his clan pattern are only for your reference. They can help you, but not by much. When the supreme intent reaches a certain level, you must have your own understanding and walk your own path. Only then can you avoid getting lost. Otherwise, relying on his principles and laws, you will lose yourself sooner or later. Because what is his will always be his and can never be yours. He is only giving you a reference.”
“Back then he left Wuxin Peak behind in the hope that future generations would verify things with him, research together, and combine the strength of many people to break through the supreme intent.”
Hearing this, Ye Chu gave a helpless bitter smile. He breathed out lightly and moved his fingers repeatedly. A pattern appeared on his forehead once more.
The pattern flickered, appearing and disappearing on Ye Chu’s forehead. This was the limit he could activate. He made it show for the old madman to see.
The old madman had not paid much attention at first, but after looking carefully, his expression changed dramatically. He stared intently at the pattern.
“How did you obtain this?” The old madman was shaken. He could not even see through the principles and laws contained within it.
“I got it in the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Land. It was accidentally obtained by a Ye family ancestor who followed a supreme being while in the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Land. I entered the place and, thanks to Ou Yi, obtained it by luck.” Ye Chu replied.
“You entered the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Land?” The old madman glanced at Ye Chu, then sighed. “I knew that if I let Ou Yi down the mountain, he would definitely go to the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Land. Who knows what trouble he has caused this time.”
“What exactly is Ou Yi? In the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Land, he is almost like a king. Even corpse spirits like a regional holy lord have to bow and submit to him.” Ye Chu asked. This had puzzled him for a long time.
“Him?” The old madman frowned. “He counts as a dead man!”
“A dead man?” Ye Chu did not understand what this meant.
“A person who has died once, does he count as dead?” The old madman looked at Ye Chu and asked.
“Died once?” Ye Chu widened his eyes. He felt as if he had heard a huge joke. How could someone who died come back to life? But seeing the old madman’s serious expression, it was clear he was not joking.
Ye Chu could not help but recall how Ou Yi had roared in the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Land, daring to ask heaven and earth if they would let him die. Ye Chu suddenly shivered.
“What secrets does the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Land hold?” Ye Chu asked the old madman.
The old madman glanced at Ye Chu and said, “That is not something you can know at this moment. Perhaps you will never know it in your entire life.”
“Then you know?” Ye Chu curled his lips. He had only asked casually and did not think the old madman really knew what secrets were buried there.
“Who says I do not know?” The old madman glared with raised eyebrows, staring angrily at Ye Chu.
“If you know, then tell me.” Ye Chu snorted.
“I… I…” The old madman stammered a few times but ultimately could not explain anything. This made Ye Chu even more dismissive. He thought this old fellow liked to brag and pretend to be capable.
Ye Chu pulled his thoughts back and continued speaking to the old madman, “When I obtained this pattern back then, there was also a segment of law text!”
Ye Chu recited the principles and law text he had obtained at that time.
After hearing it, the old madman fell silent. He carefully comprehended it for a while, looked again at the pattern on Ye Chu’s forehead, and his expression became serious.
“How is it?” Ye Chu asked.
“This is a profound technique for cultivating the intent realm!” The old madman said. “And it is extremely ingenious. It may not be unique, but it is definitely among the top tier. This set of profound techniques should originate from the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Land.”
“Obviously! I already told you I got it from there.” Ye Chu felt contempt for the old madman’s pretentious attitude.
The old madman roared angrily, “What do you know? I mean this secret technique was originally passed down from the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Land. Your ancestor must have obtained it there.”
“…” Ye Chu pretended not to hear. Any normal person could have guessed that.
“How are this pattern and law text?” Ye Chu knew the item was not simple and still wanted a clear answer.
“It is very valuable. It should come from that place in the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Land and can be compared to supreme laws. It is a pity though, as it is incomplete. Although valuable, it is still not as good as the pattern from the Floating Life Palace.” The old madman sighed, feeling it was too much of a shame.
“Can I use it for assistance?” Ye Chu asked.
“As long as your comprehension ability is strong enough, you naturally can. I only worry that your comprehension is not sufficient and you will never understand the intent realm within it.” The old madman said. “Moreover, it is incomplete, so its effects are also limited.”
Ye Chu nodded. He was about to ask something else when he heard a melodious bell sound ring out.
Hearing this melodious bell, the old madman’s expression also became strange. “The mountain bell is ringing. All peak masters are to gather. Who dares to ring it so boldly?”
The old madman’s surprise made Ye Chu think of one possibility. He could not help saying, “Weak Water came up the mountain with me!”
“It is her!” The old madman was stunned, but he immediately flashed away quickly towards the direction of the mountain bell.
At this moment, Ye Chu saw streaks of light shooting out from the one hundred and eight peaks, all rushing towards the mountain bell.
Watching this scene, Ye Chu felt shaken inside. He stared blankly in that direction. The peak masters of Qing Mi Mountain were all terrifying existences. In their respective regions they were absolutely shocking and held supreme status.
Yet now that Weak Water had rung the bell, they all gathered at her call. Did this woman truly possess such power?
But Ye Chu soon thought of something else. “What is this woman ringing the bell for? Why is she summoning all the peak masters?”
“Could it be about what happened to her that day…” Ye Chu thought of this possibility and his scalp went numb.
