The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3721 - 3707: Sacred Origin Heart (Three Updates)

Yang Tiangyang’s icy gaze swept across the faces present in Southern Saint City, his voice chilling as he declared, "Should anyone dare to reveal today's events, no matter where you flee, death shall be your ultimate end!"

His stern words silenced those who had initially considered spreading the news.

Despite Yang Tiangyang's deference to Ye Chen, it was clear to all that his power was formidable. While he wouldn't dare to act against Ye Chen under the protector's watchful eye, he could effortlessly annihilate them.

Ye Chen paid little mind to Yang Tiangyang's actions. Considering Zhenyuan Palace's standing, and for the sake of both the protector and Southern Saint, Ye Chen chose not to press the matter further, tacitly overlooking Yang Tiangyang's behavior.

Following this, Ye Chen and his entourage entered Zhenyuan Palace, where they were treated to a lavish banquet in the Dharma Flower Hall, a space reserved for distinguished guests. Elder Gao Lin, visibly refreshed and beaming, relished the unprecedented attention and favor shown to them within Zhenyuan Palace.

In bygone eras, the Six Paths Sect had consistently suffered humiliation at the hands of Zhenyuan Palace. Yet, this turnabout, this newfound respect, was entirely attributed to Ye Chen.

The elders of Gao Lin looked upon Ye Chen with profound admiration and deep affection. Here was a single disciple who had achieved what their entire Six Paths Sect could not, inspiring genuine reverence despite his junior status.

After the satisfying meal concluded, Yang Tiangyang's eyes glinted as he subtly probed, "Ye Chen, I feel an unusual connection with you. Perhaps we could converse further in Tianyin Hall?"

Detecting the unspoken intentions behind Yang Tiangyang's invitation, Ye Chen's lips curved into a subtle smile. He understood Yang Tiangyang's ulterior motives but remained unconcerned, confident that no harm could come to him under the protector's aegis.

Ye Chen’s intuition proved correct; Tianyin Hall was indeed a place for clandestine discussions. Yang Tiangyang intended to use the meeting to glean the secret behind Ye Chen’s ability to summon and command the protector's aid.

Thus, Ye Chen and Yang Tiangyang proceeded to Tianyin Hall. As they took their seats and Yang Tiangyang prepared to speak, he witnessed Ye Chen suddenly stiffen.

"Yang Tiangyang, do you recognize this?"

Abruptly, Ye Chen produced a token – none other than the legendary Six Paths Order bestowed by Xiao Shuihan. The sight of it caused Yang Tiangyang's composure to visibly shatter.

The Six Paths Order was a relic of myth to both Yang Tiangyang and the sect master Wu Duan Cang of Six Paths Sect; neither had ever laid eyes upon it.

Yet, here it was, radiating a majestic aura, vast and imposing, sweeping across the heavens, its existence irrefutably confirmed.

"It is the Six Paths Order, left by the Grandmaster of the Six Paths Sect."

Yang Tiangyang's heart churned with a mixture of awe and apprehension. Regardless of whether Xiao Shuihan still lived, the possession of the Six Paths Order rendered Ye Chen a de facto representative of his formidable presence.

Southern Saint was Xiao Shuihan's confidant. As the sect master of Zhenyuan Palace, Yang Tiangyang addressed Southern Saint as Grandmaster and Xiao Shuihan as Ancestor.

"Yang Tiangyang pays his respects to the Ancestor!"

Without hesitation, Yang Tiangyang knelt, offering a deep bow towards the Six Paths Order.

Truth be told, with the Six Paths Sect in its current state of decline and Xiao Shuihan long gone, Yang Tiangyang held little genuine reverence for the token itself. However, he couldn't ignore the implications of Ye Chen wielding it, knowing defiance could invoke the wrath of Ye Chen, bolstered by the protector's might.

Observing Yang Tiangyang's submissive display, Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction and calmly commanded, "Rise."

"I have come bearing this Six Paths Order to demand the Sacred Origin Heart of the Six Paths Sect. I urge Sect Leader Yang to relinquish it," Ye Chen stated, his voice steady, empowered by the protector's presence.

"The Sacred Origin Heart?"

At these words, Yang Tiangyang's shock was palpable. He snapped his head up, his eyes fixing on Ye Chen, a venomous glint surfacing within them.

Zhenyuan Palace had held dominion over the other half of the Sacred Origin Heart for countless years. As the Six Paths Sect faltered, Zhenyuan Palace had gradually come to regard it as their own, even harboring plans to seize the portion held by the Six Paths Sect.

Ye Chen's demand for the Sacred Origin Heart now ignited a fierce anger within Yang Tiangyang, who perceived it as Ye Chen coveting Zhenyuan Palace's most sacred artifact, thus sparking a murderous intent.

"Ye Chen, I fear this Sacred Origin Heart cannot be given..."

Yang Tiangyang's cold stare was fixed on Ye Chen, but his words trailed off as his expression froze. A sheen of cold sweat broke out on his forehead as his gaze flickered towards the location of the protector.

Fierce auras reverberated through the air as the Great Power of the Blood Moon surged. The savior unleashed a phenomenon, the reasons for which Yang Tiangyang now understood.

"You are bold."

Gazing at Ye Chen, a sharp glint flashed in Yang Tiangyang’s eyes. He realized that refusal would likely result in Ye Chen commanding the savior to eliminate him.

The vast Zhenyuan Palace and the glory of the sect master position would then fall into other hands, most likely into that of the sage-like Elder Lv Tianlu. Yang Tiangyang was unwilling to relinquish such overwhelming power.

"Fine, I will give it to you."

Deeply frustrated, Yang Tiangyang then guided Ye Chen to the location where the Sacred Origin Heart was kept.

Even though Zhenyuan Palace possessed only half of the Sacred Origin Heart, its power was immensley vast and majestic—a convergence of all Purification in the universe, radiating immense might.

Consequently, Zhenyuan Palace held this half of the Sacred Origin Heart in extremely high regard, safeguarding it in a secure and secret place to prevent theft.

However, at this very moment, Yang Tiangyang led Ye Chen to the Book Collection Pavilion of Zhenyuan Palace. While Zhenyuan Palace’s foundational strength wasn't as profound as Six Paths Sect’s, and its collection of cultivation methods was somewhat inferior, it was still quite remarkable.

The Book Collection Pavilion comprised nine levels, and Yang Tiangyang brought Ye Chen to the uppermost one. Above this top level hung a grand scroll, vividly depicting a sky brimming with stars—a magnificent Universe that appeared almost lifelike.

"This is the Starry Sky Destruction Map, a legacy from the ancient Grandmaster. The scroll contains a hidden Little World where the Sacred Origin Heart resides. Without the Sect Master Token of Zhenyuan Palace, entry is impossible."

Yang Tiangyang’s eyes flickered, the thought of surrendering the extremely precious half of the Sacred Origin Heart, considered the property of Zhenyuan Palace, to Ye Chen filled him with immense pain.

Yet, with the savior possibly observing intently from behind Ye Chen, Yang Tiangyang did not dare to hesitate. He immediately presented the Sect Master Token of Zhenyuan Palace and stepped into the Starry Sky Destruction Map.

As Yang Tiangyang entered the scroll, Ye Chen perceived an additional, minuscule presence within the vast Universe contained therein—that of Yang Tiangyang himself.

The Sect Master Token of Zhenyuan Palace, now held aloft, began to radiate endless light amidst the sprawling universe and countless stars.

At this pivotal moment, the dimmest, most inconspicuous star suddenly ignited, blazing with unparalleled brilliance. Infinite pure spiritual energy erupted, unleashing a terrifying Great Power capable of shaking the All Heavens.
