Chapter 60: The Yuwang Stele in the Distance

  The scene in front of him left Chen Tao stunned, the place where Yuwang Stele was located had become a desolate place, and Yuwang Stele had disappeared.

  The original white light also disappeared, and the surroundings became dim. Under the two wheels of moonlight, it was possible to see the surrounding scene clearly, and the small snow also disappeared.

  Ye Chen was still there, which made Chen Tao feel a little relieved, but Ye Chen's situation wasn't good either. He was dressed like a beggar, his clothes were tattered and worn out, yet every seam was neat and tidy.

  Ye Chen stood in the square, the black sword shadow had disappeared, and around Ye Chen was a deep crack.

  "Dust boy, are you awake?" Chen Tao said, holding a black long knife and walking to Ye Chen's side.

  Ye Chen heard Chen Tao's voice, and responded faintly, then immediately looked back in the direction where Yu Wang Bei was originally standing, his expression dim.

  "What about Xiaoxue?" Chen Tao asked.

  Upon hearing the two words "Xiao Xue", Ye Chen's expression fluctuated slightly, but he didn't say a word, quietly gazing ahead.

  Chen Tao looked at Ye Chen and then at the direction of Yu Wang Bei, able to guess some situation. If it was similar to his own guess, he could also explain Ye Chen's current situation.

  Chen Tao didn't bother Ye Chen again. Although he was very curious about where Ye Xue had gone, at this time he also knew not to ask.

  Chen Tao walked to one side, saying nothing, holding the black knife in his hand, and sat alone on one side.

  One person stood, one person sat, this static scene lasted for a long time. Chen Tao was hungry and went to find some fruit to fill his stomach, also finding some for Ye Chen, but Ye Chen didn't eat a single bite.

  Three days passed like this. In those three days, Ye Chen didn't eat or move at all, still wearing that tattered and worn-out clothes.

  During this time, Chen Tao asked several times and even scolded Ye Chen, but it didn't make Ye Chen have the slightest shock. He remained still like a dead man, not moving at all. If there wasn't any breath flowing, others would have thought he was a statue.

  "Dust, Xiao Xue has already left, so don't think about it anymore? Besides, according to Xiao Xue's situation at the time, it was probably related to the Yuwang Stele. If we find the Yuwang Stele, can't we find Xiao Xue?" Chen Tao said with a bitter tone on the side.

  "I know, I'm thinking about where to go." Ye Chen suddenly spoke up, startling Chen Tao.

  "Ah, Dust finally spoke up, come eat something." Chen Tao handed the fruit in his hand to Ye Chen, and Ye Chen didn't refuse, eating it on the spot.

  "Xuězi, where did Little Snow go? Where did the Yuwang Stele go?" Chen Tao asked curiously. Although he suspected that Little Snow's disappearance was related to the Yuwang Stele, he wasn't at the scene at the time, so there were some things he didn't know.

  "It's gone!" Ye Chen said calmly.

  "Where did he go?"

  "I don't know." Ye Chen's expression was somewhat stiff.

  "You still don't know, when did you wake up? Where's that divine sword? Where did it go?" Chen Tao asked loudly. At the same time, he remembered Ye Chen's divine sword and his eyes suddenly sparkled.

  "When I woke up, Ye Xue had just re-entered the Yuwang Stele. At that time, Little Snow hadn't woken up yet. I shouted loudly, but still saw Little Snow enter the Yuwang Stele. I didn't know what was going on at the time, and my body couldn't move. After the Yuwang Stele flew away, I could finally move again, but I couldn't find Little Snow anymore." Ye Chen said in a low tone.

  "Ah, you're talking about the divine sword? What divine sword?"

  "Are you kidding me?! You're kidding, right?! I clearly saw an incredibly powerful divine sword on you, and yet you tell me you don't know anything?" Chen Tao said with some indignation.

  "What is a divine sword?" Ye Chen's face was filled with confusion. The divine sword, something that everyone in the world dreamed of, was also something that Ye Chen cared about deeply.

  "Are you really unaware?" Chen Tao looked at Ye Chen's expression, as if it wasn't fake.

  "Nonsense, if I knew, would I still ask you?" Ye Chen said somewhat impatiently.

  "Earlier, when the Yuwang Stele was present, it emitted a destructive white light. You were inside this white light, and just as you were about to be melted by it, the divine sword appeared on your body and deflected that destructive white light. Look, there's still an imprint of the divine sword where you were earlier." Chen Tao pointed to a two-meter circular mark not far away.

  "What did I just do?" Ye Chen looked at the crack that had appeared and asked in a somewhat incredulous tone.

  "Of course it was you who did it. Is there anyone else here? Could I have done it?" Chen Tao said with certainty.

  "Divine Sword?" Ye Chen's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, the reputation of the Divine Sword was enormous, and it could be seen from this moment that Ye Chen still had the mood to care about the Divine Sword.

  Ye Chen thought of the Sword Transformation Technique, which had extremely harsh training conditions. One of them was to find a peerless great sword, and what people called a divine sword was probably just such a sword.

  Ye Chen had previously thought that the famous sword was just about it, but from Chen Tao's words earlier, he learned that he might have been given a divine sword by Old Hu.

  This made Ye Chen even more grateful to Hu Lao, the Divine Sword was indeed the king of swords, and with it, he could conquer the world. Of course, that was only if he could bring out the sword's full power.

  Ye Chen's thoughts in his heart were not told to Chen Tao, and under Chen Tao's anxious gaze, Ye Chen nodded calmly, but he didn't say anything more.

  Chen Tao looked at Ye Chen with a curious heart, waiting for Ye Chen to say something about the divine sword. Those strings of zeros and the treasures that filled the room kept flashing in Chen Tao's mind.

  But Chen Tao waited for a long time, and didn't see Ye Chen utter a single word.

  Chen Tao suddenly became anxious, "Dust Son, do you have the divine sword or not? If you do, take it out and let me see it. It won't kill you just to look."

  "I'm not even sure, and even if I wanted to take it out, I couldn't. This thing is completely beyond my control." Ye Chen said helplessly to Chen Tao.

  Seeing Chen Tao's disbelieving face, he explained helplessly that the cultivation method he was practicing required an extraordinary sword to be stored in his body, and only through this extraordinary sword could he cultivate quickly.

  In the past, I had such a good sword, Ye Chen guessed that it was given to him by Hu Lao, at the time when he was dying.

  At that time, Chen Tao also knew, but it was Chen Tao who sent Ye Chen to rescue and treat him. That was Chen Tao's first visit to the City Lord's Mansion, and also his last entry into the City Lord's Mansion of Night Star City, which has now been destroyed by the demon beast.

  Chen Tao's thoughts were shattered, and he was no longer entangled. He then asked about Xiaoxue's whereabouts. Xiaoxue was a little sister, not only did Ye Chen care about her, but Chen Tao also cared about her.

  When Ye Chen woke up, he only saw Xiaoxue entering the Yuwang Stele. Then the Yuwang Stele rose from the ground and shot into the sky with a white glow, heading south, disappearing without knowing where it went.

  "Always heading south?" Chen Tao looked towards the south, where it was also a world of demonic beasts. In the distant ocean, it was even more so, with demonic beasts reigning supreme. Few people dared to venture into the ocean, and even those in the Fusion Realm who were strong didn't return.

  "What's so strange about the South? Is it that place?" Chen Tao was startled, thinking of a legend, but that was just a legend, not to be taken seriously, and no one had ever seen it.
