The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3722 - 3708: The Truth (Part 4)

"Buzz!"

A celestial body streaked across the immense expanse of stars, descending directly into Yang Tiangyang's grasp. It morphed into a crystalline, half-heart shape, radiating incomparable sanctity and a divine might that seemed to shake the universe.

Yang Tiangyang's form flickered within the cosmic landscape depicted in the scroll, materializing before Ye Chen in the subsequent moment. The half-golden heart, precisely half of the Sacred Origin Heart originally belonging to Zhenyuan Palace, remained clutched in his hand.

"Take this."

With a gaze tinged with reluctance, Yang Tiangyang presented the half-heart to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen observed the Sacred Origin Heart, brilliant with golden luminescence and brimming with Holy Energy. It appeared as the world's most pristine and beautiful creation, eliciting a flicker of profound awe in his eyes.

Indeed, the Sacred Origin Heart possessed an extraordinary aura; even this fractured piece felt intensely pure and sacred, as though it contained boundless Great Power.

It was understandable why the Six Paths Sect had chosen to divide the Sacred Origin Heart into two fragments in ages past. Even a mere half of it held such immense power that a complete artifact might have ignited conflicts across the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds. At that time, the waning Six Paths Sect was incapable of safeguarding such a treasure.

As Ye Chen accepted the Sacred Origin Heart from Yang Tiangyang, he almost lost his footing, shock flitting across his features.

The sheer weight of the Sacred Origin Heart was astonishingly immense, far surpassing that of Netherworld Water, feeling as substantial as a true star.

Yang Tiangyang, observing Ye Chen secure the Sacred Origin Heart, couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "I'm curious as to why you were able to summon the savior..."

Before Yang Tiangyang could complete his query, Ye Chen's gaze swept over him with calm indifference. "There's no need to ask; it's not something you can comprehend."

Ye Chen's tone was dismissive. Witnessing this, Yang Tiangyang felt a surge of murderous intent, yet he did not dare to act rashly under the overwhelming pressure exerted by the savior.

"Very well, I shall depart now."

Turning away, Ye Chen began walking towards the exit of the Book Collection Pavilion. He addressed Yang Tiangyang, "Remember your origins. The prosperity of your Zhenyuan Palace today is a direct result of the Six Paths Sect's support. If you fail to uphold this, another shall undoubtedly assume your position as sect master."

Ye Chen's parting words caused Yang Tiangyang's pupils to contract, a wave of boundless killing intent surging through him, amplified by the savior's imposing aura.

As Ye Chen exited the Book Collection Pavilion, Yang Tiangyang remained rooted to the spot, his expression a mixture of gloom and indecision.

Yang Tiangyang's internal turmoil persisted within the Book Collection Pavilion, and he did not follow Ye Chen out, a fact which Ye Chen disregarded.

Later, Ye Chen located Elders Gao Lin and Jun Mo within Zhenyuan Palace, signaling his readiness to depart.

Meanwhile, Feng Yusi, who had engaged Ye Chen in a fierce confrontation, regarded him with a complex mix of emotions. However, Ye Chen never once cast a glance in her direction, nor did he extend an invitation for her to accompany him as a maid.

After exchanging farewells with the members of Zhenyuan Palace, Ye Chen departed the premises with Elders Gao Lin and Jun Mo.

Upon exiting Southern Saint City, Jun Mo took his leave of Ye Chen, citing pressing family matters requiring his attention.

"What is it? Do you perhaps require assistance?"

Ye Chen inquired with concern, having developed a deep appreciation for Jun Mo's support during their journey.

"It's nothing major, just a few minor issues I can handle myself," Jun Mo replied with a smile.

"Understood. Should any complications arise, do not hesitate to contact me."

Ye Chen stated earnestly, looking at Jun Mo.

Subsequently, Jun Mo bid Ye Chen farewell and departed. Ye Chen then turned to Elder Gao Lin and remarked coolly, "Well then, let us proceed."

"Hmm."

At this juncture, Elder Gao Lin gazed fondly at Ye Chen, already perceiving him as the beacon of hope for the Six Paths Sect's resurgence, his expectations mirroring the potential of Ye Chen's accomplishments.

Despite a multitude of questions swirling in Elder Gao Lin's mind, such as the reason behind Zhenyuan Palace's savior sheltering Ye Chen, they chose to remain unvoiced, respecting Ye Chen's privacy and his hidden depths.

His esteem for Ye Chen was palpable, treating him more as an equal than merely a disciple.

In stark contrast to their arrival, the return journey to the Six Paths Sect saw Elders Gao Lin showering Ye Chen with exceptional deference and attention.

Concurrently, within Zhenyuan Palace, Yang Tiangyang emerged from the Book Collection Pavilion, his countenance clouded with disquiet.

Returning to Tianyin Hall, Yang Tiangyang uttered a low command, "Dark Element Holy Guard."

"Swoosh!"

Faint whistling sounds pierced the air, and suddenly, Tianyin Hall, previously occupied solely by Yang Tiangyang, became the gathering place for several figures shrouded in black robes.

Their very presence exuded an imposing might, and their potent concealment abilities rendered them undetectable to ordinary senses.

The Dark Element Holy Guard, an elite force cultivated since Zhenyuan Palace's inception, specialized in the clandestine realm of intelligence gathering.

Filled with doubts about Ye Chen’s identity, Yang Tiangyang sought answers regarding who Ye Chen truly was.

"Investigate Ye Chen’s identity thoroughly and report back."

Yang Tiangyang instructed the four Dark Element Holy Guards, his voice low.

"Understood."

The leading Dark Element Holy Guard responded, his tone chillingly mechanical.

Immediately, the four Dark Element Holy Guards vanished without a trace, leaving Tianyin Hall as if they had never been there.

...

Soon, Ye Chen returned to Six Paths Sect with Elder Gao Lin.

Within Six Paths Sect, Sect Master Wu Duan Cang and Elder Dao Pao eagerly awaited outside, having been informed in advance of Ye Chen’s arrival.

Moreover, Elder Gao Lin briefed the sect via Communication Talisman about the events in Southern Saint City, omitting the savior issue and only mentioning Ye Chen’s victories over Feng Yusi and Yang Tiangyang’s submission.

However, most in Six Paths Sect refused to believe this tale, as Feng Yusi was recognized as a Venerable Immortal Ling Yun, an unparalleled talent of Zhenyuan Palace heralded throughout Yue Hun Domain.

Ye Chen not only bested Zhenyuan Palace’s second genius Hua Baomin but also defeated Feng Yusi, claiming she was unworthy as a woman, fit only as a maid.

To many, such statements smacked of boastful deceit, none willing to believe, not even Wu Duan Cang and Elder Dao Pao who held great expectations for Ye Chen.

However, given Elder Gao Lin’s reputation for truthfulness, curiosity brewed among them, eager to hear the truth directly from Ye Chen once he returned, ensuring clarity on the matter.
