The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3605 - 3595: Six Paths Artifact Spirit (Part 3)

"The leader of the Six Paths Sect used to be the naughtiest student under the Samsara Master. As one of the Samsara Master’s followers, he stirred up plenty of chaos for his teacher. Still, this leader showed unbreakable devotion to the Samsara Master. The group got its name, Six Paths Sect, to pay tribute to the master’s vision of the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

As soon as he heard those words, Ye Chen’s heartbeat quickened sharply. Strange feelings welled up inside him, blending sorrow with a sense of longing from the past.

Such an occurrence was completely new to him, leaving Ye Chen confused and even a bit scared. It all hit him so suddenly, without any warning.

Right then, no one spotted Ye Chen’s odd state, because it was something happening deep in his thoughts that nobody else could see.

Wei Ying went on, "In the past, the power of the Six Paths Sect dominated the whole Outer Realm, standing as a genuine dominant force. But after the seventh sect master, Yin Zunxiao, vanished, and other groups questioned the Sacred Origin Heart, the Six Paths Sect’s standing dropped sharply, turning it into a subject of scorn."

"In those dire times, the former invincible powerhouse started to weaken steadily, eventually getting driven out of the Heavenly Human Domain and reduced to the Moon Soul Domain."

"Now, the Six Paths Sect survives just barely, shielded by a handful of elders and the leader’s old allies, a shadow of its past splendor."

Hearing that, the crowd couldn’t stop themselves from sighing deeply, and even the Sky-covering Demon Emperor, who knew this tale well, felt a wave of sentimental reminiscence.

Seeing such a mighty force fall to this level highlighted the wild twists of fate in the world.

While the others mourned the story, Ye Chen sensed the turmoil in his thoughts growing fiercer, accompanied by fleeting visions, as hazy and unfamiliar recollections flooded his mind, triggering an intense throbbing headache.

Those vague, mysterious recollections appeared tied to the Six Paths Sect. Ye Chen fought back against the relentless agony in his head, but he couldn’t hold out, abruptly slipping into a blackout.

"Ye Chen!"

When Ye Chen toppled over without warning, Wei Ying’s expression twisted in alarm, and she rushed to hold him close, gazing at him full of worry.

Just then, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and the rest also displayed anxious looks, fretting over Ye Chen’s well-being and baffled by his abrupt collapse.

Next, Wei Ying checked Ye Chen’s state and saw he was out cold but safe from harm, which made her breathe out a sigh of relief.

At the same time, inside Ye Chen’s consciousness, recollections continued to emerge. He remembered several crucial events.

These were the remembrances from the Samsara Master, Ye Chen’s previous existence. Within them, Ye Chen had taken on just six students, but right now, only the thoughts about the Six Paths Sect’s leader came forward.

The head of the Six Paths Sect, known as the Six Paths Artifact Spirit, whose real name was Xiao Shuihan, had been an unforeseen apprentice accepted by Ye Chen in his former life as the Samsara Master. Born with a playful streak, he constantly made mischief and sparked problems. Without the boundless fame of Ye Chen’s prior incarnation, Xiao Shuihan could have faced a fatal beating long before achieving any success.

In time, because of fateful connections, the Samsara Master sought to guide Xiao Shuihan onto the proper course, imparting fighting techniques and incantations to him, and even advising on proper conduct, raising him as if he were his son.

But in the course of this instruction, the Samsara Master uncovered Xiao Shuihan’s incredible aptitude, unmatched anywhere, though his love for brawls and solitary ways prevented him from mingling with peers, straining his bonds with other students.

In the end, under the Samsara Master’s guidance, Xiao Shuihan became far more powerful, but his wild side didn’t change; he kept getting into scrapes, and one mishap led him to badly wound another disciple.

Upon learning of the incident, the Samsara Master erupted in fury, deeming Xiao Shuihan irredeemable, refusing to hear his side, denying him any justification, and promptly banishing him from the sacred chamber.

Only after a long while did the Samsara Master uncover the real story: the badly hurt disciple had already been a mole for Xuan Jiyue, manipulated by her to strike at him.

Xiao Shuihan had stumbled upon the secret by chance, detected the oddity, sparking a clash with the traitor that ended in a harsh blow, only for him to suffer banishment at the hands of the Samsara Master.

Shortly after Xiao Shuihan’s ousting from the Ye family, reports spread that the Samsara Master had fallen to the combined assault of Xuan Jiyue and the Emperor Abyss Palace.

Learning of this, Xiao Shuihan withdrew into isolation for a decade, during which his power surged dramatically. Emerging after ten years, he founded the Six Paths Sect in secret, building it gradually into the supreme power of the Outer Realm.

The Six Paths Sect ultimately took root at the heart of the Heavenly Human Domain, and as Xiao Shuihan forged this legendary feat, he never forgot the vendetta against his teacher, the Samsara Master.

Half a year on, Xiao Shuihan hit his ultimate strength and boldly confronted Xuan Jiyue.

Back then, Xiao Shuihan’s bold provocation at his zenith shocked the entire Outer Realm and Upper Realm, shaking the very cosmos.

Following that, their clash turned into a horrifying showdown, enveloping the Outer Realm in perpetual gloom, as though the underworld had swallowed it whole.

Once the fight concluded, Xuan Jiyue suffered grave wounds, while Xiao Shuihan’s fate remained a mystery, like he had evaporated from existence, with rumors claiming he might have perished or been imprisoned by Xuan Jiyue.

From that confrontation onward, Xiao Shuihan vanished without trace, immediately weakening the Six Paths Sect’s prestige. Luckily, it retained his combat knowledge, wisdom, and a number of elite followers, holding its elite status for another century.

Over the subsequent eras, the Six Paths Sect faced the crisis with Yin Zunxiao and the Sacred Origin Heart vanishing as one, sparking its steep downfall and the erasure of its once-dominant reputation and might.

Within his thoughts, the recollections persisted in rising; Ye Chen remembered the delight on Xiao Shuihan’s face during their first lessons in combat skills, as well as his defiance when caught in his initial prank, refusing to own up.

Countless scenes of dealings with Xiao Shuihan stayed vivid, mixing fondness with frustration.

Slowly, the flow of these recollections halted, fading into obscurity; Ye Chen’s eyes fluttered, and in the next instant, he regained consciousness.

"Ye Chen, are you okay?"

As Ye Chen came to, Wei Ying hurried over with worry in her voice and asked.

While Ye Chen lay unconscious, Wei Ying and her companions kept watch close by, observing a tremendous enigmatic energy steadily flowing from Ye Chen’s form, a mighty force that evoked the presence of the Supreme Sovereign, overwhelming the All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms, now settling upon Ye Chen.

Thus, even though Wei Ying realized Ye Chen had just passed out unexpectedly, perhaps stumbling upon immense luck, her deep concern for him left her on edge naturally.
