My gorgeous wife Chapter 2415 - 2383: Crippled Blade Ancestor

Yu Xu, known as the Crippled Blade Ancestor, possesses a cultivation at the Late Phase of the Heaven and Earth Realm. Due to his proficiency with the blade and his weapon being a Broken Blade Crippled Sword, he earned this title.

Many who are familiar with the Ancestor Yu Xu with the Broken Blade know that although Yu Xu’s blade is a crippled one, it is nonetheless a top-tier Holy Artifact, even surpassing as a top-tier Treasure.

There were rumors that Yu Xu’s Crippled Blade was an Epochal Treasure brought by the Jian Ancestor before the birth of the Jianmu Universe, but due to severe damage, its grade fell.

Yet, even at its fallen grade, this Crippled Blade remains a top-tier Treasure that many Palm Realm powerhouses of the Jianmu Universe envy.

However, Yu Xu himself is not to be trifled with either.

Before achieving the Palm Realm, he had slain many rank strong of the same level, demonstrating strength far beyond the same level.

His most glorious battle record was when he had just advanced to the Late Stage of the Heaven and Earth Realm, engaging in a duel with an Ancient Ancestor who had been at the Late Stage for many years, killing the opponent in one blow.

Since then, no one dared to covet him or his Blade.

After all, if one wants to obtain the Broken Blade of the Crippled Blade Ancestor, they must first be able to withstand the blade’s might.

Of course, if a Dao Saint were to make a move against him, it would be quite straightforward. However, the Jianmu Universe has its own order—Dao Saint-level powerhouses must abide by certain restrictions. If raw power truly allowed unchecked actions, the Jianmu Universe would have long descended into chaos rather than the peace it enjoys now.

Order may be nothing to the powerful, but upon reaching a certain level, some order must still be adhered to.

"Crippled Blade Ancestor?"

Seeing Yu Xu appear, many people around frowned.

Undoubtedly, Yu Xu is a formidable adversary, one they cannot contend with at all.

Among the Palm Realm present, aside from Yu Xu, there was another at the Late Phase of the Heaven and Earth Realm. Yet, even this individual did not consider himself a match for Yu Xu.

Moreover, what puzzled them was... Yu Xu’s words.

"Senior?"

"Hong Chen Predecessor?!"

Upon hearing Yu Xu’s address, Ziyun’s heart involuntarily trembled.

He suddenly recalled that the white-haired youth he was aiming to capture also seemed to be called Hong Chen...

But how could it be that even the Crippled Blade Ancestor would address him as Predecessor? Might it just be a homonymous name?

But when he saw Yu Xu respectfully bow to Li Chen after meeting the white-haired youth, Ziyun’s heart sank entirely.

Yet in his disheartenment, he was also full of confusion.

If even Yu Xu calls him Predecessor, does it not imply that this white-haired youth’s cultivation is higher than Yu Xu’s?

But how could a powerhouse with such high cultivation be so easily injured and made to vomit blood by someone like himself?

Ziyun’s heart was full of bewilderment.

It wasn’t just Ziyun; everyone else was equally puzzled.

This white-haired youth had a cultivation only around the Domain Realm, yet even Yu Xu called him Predecessor?

Could it be... a disguised Dao Saint mighty, hiding on purpose?

At this suspicion, everyone felt a collective shiver.

A Dao Saint! Amidst the Universe, such a presence was not one they could afford to offend!

But this was not the most shocking reveal.

After seeing Yu Xu, Li Chen’s face plainly showed confusion: "Have I met you before?"

Everyone: ...

This person is a powerful Ancient Ancestor at the Late Phase of the Heaven and Earth Realm! Even if you haven’t met him, you should at least put on a show of recognizing him!

What does this puzzled expression mean?

Yet, Yu Xu showed no sign of discontent: "It is common for a distinguished person like Hong Chen Predecessor to forget things. It is normal not to remember juniors like me. Ten years ago, when Hong Chen Predecessor was bestowing treasures on the Purple Fir Continent, Yu Xu happened to be among the crowd. Later, fortunately, I received a treasure from Hong Chen Predecessor. Together with fellow Daoists as well as Seniors Leiyang and Qingqiu, I have faintly touched the threshold of the Palm Source Realm."

"Such a great kindness, Yu Xu will never forget!"

Speaking thus, Yu Xu bowed deeply to Li Chen once more.

"What?"

As these words came out, everyone was astonished.

The Crippled Blade Ancestor had touched the threshold of the Palm Source Realm? And it was thanks to assistance from this white-haired youth?!

In the Jianmu Universe, where no Origin Realm powerhouses emerged, what Palm Source Realm meant, everyone knew clearly.

Dao Saint!

An absolutely invincible Dao Saint!

In terms of the entire Jianmu Universe, there might be quite a few Ancient Ancestors at the Heaven and Earth Realm.

But Dao Saints, they were truly rare.

Every Dao Saint is a decisive foundational force within the Universe. It is even stipulated that Dao Saints cannot engage in life-and-death hostilities unless there’s an irreconcilable feud. Should conflicts arise, strong ones from the Jiankong Realm would mediate or resolve them.

For regardless of which Dao Saint falls, it would be a loss to the entire Universe.

And comparatively, Ancient Ancestors at the Heaven and Earth Realm do not receive such privileges.

"Oh!"

After hearing Yu Xu, Li Chen realized and casually nodded, yet his expression remained relatively indifferent, for he truly had no deep impression.

Yu Xu appeared calm and unperturbed, but internally, the other Ancient Ancestors were in uproar.

"Could he truly be a Dao Saint mighty hiding his cultivation?!"

"It’s over, it’ll be disastrous. Offending a Dao Saint, even if not a Dao Saint, having offended Yu Xu, our future days won’t be peaceful," a group of people inwardly lamented.

After all, Yu Xu himself claimed to have touched the Palm Source Realm’s threshold.

Even if he hadn’t, they could never rival Yu Xu anyway.

At this moment, it seemed as though Yu Xu noticed the people around for the first time, couldn’t help but frown, saying, "What are you all still doing here? Why don’t you quickly get out?"

He was courteous to Li Chen, but it didn’t mean he had to be courteous to others.

After all, the Crippled Blade Ancestor’s reputation wasn’t built on flattery but hard-fought battle achievements.

Regarding these fellows in front, though of the same Heaven and Earth Realm, he didn’t regard them highly.

"You..."

The Tuhai Ancient Ancestor glanced sinisterly at Yu Xu and Li Chen: "Crippled Blade Ancestor, we know you’re strong, but don’t forget this is the Nine Heavens Continent, not your River Sea Realm!"

Yu Xu glanced at Tuhai Ancient Ancestor, gently vibrating his arm.

The next moment, Tuhai Ancient Ancestor showed a horrified look in his eyes, feeling a terrifyingly sharp qi slashing directly at him.

Without delay, Tuhai Ancient Ancestor instantly erupted with the Power of the Universe, his massive Pseudo-Universe power transforming into the Nine-Faced Divine Bone Shield before him.

"Boom boom boom!!"

The terrifying Sword Qi directly shattered six faces of the Bone Shield, while the remaining three bore horrifying cracks, and Tuhai Ancient Ancestor himself was sent flying, barely stabilizing himself, pale-faced.

Turning again to Yu Xu, there was now a hint of fear in his gaze.

This individual, truly not someone he could afford to offend.

Too powerful.

At this moment, Yu Xu didn’t even spare Tuhai a look, politely addressing Li Chen: "Apologies for my inadequacies, senior."

Yet at that time, Li Chen uttered something shocking to those present.

"Indeed, it was inadequate. Cultivation is passable, but your power usage is utterly abysmal."
