Chapter 226: Chapter 225: [Too Many Secrets Unknown to Others]Ye Tianchen wanted to live well on Earth, happy and with his family, because during the apocalypse he was an orphan who had never felt the warmth of a family. This made him cherish it all the more and he wouldn’t allow anyone to destroy it, otherwise, he would respond with fists ready. However, after he was reborn on Earth this life, he realized that no matter where, killing always existed. No matter where, if your own strength wasn’t strong enough, you would only end up being exploited by others. Therefore, he wanted to become stronger. Also, because of Zhang Yide’s words, he felt that if he did not become stronger, not only could he not protect his parents and sister, but he would also face unprecedented crises. Earth’s nature had already been damaged, making it hard to comprehend the Taoism; hence, breakthroughs were difficult. His only option was to find a way to go to another habitable planet, which meant he needed something that could travel through space. Also, Ye Tianchen was a person who had come from an apocalypse planet. Even though most of his fellow clan members, family, and friends had died before he was reborn, he still had things worth holding on to; at least his enemies were alive, as were those who trampled on human lives intending to annihilate the Human Clan. He needed to go back, to strengthen himself, and also to take revenge for his loved ones; otherwise, he wouldn’t be worthy of being reborn on Earth. Since Zhang Yide had put it so bluntly, even though Ye Tianchen knew he couldn’t immediately return to the apocalypse planet, he still wanted to ask. If there was a chance and possibility, he still needed to go back, not only to become strong himself but also to take revenge for his loved ones and to prepare for the great calamities Earth might face in the future. "I really don’t know about that, after all, such a thing is even more secretive than a country’s highest secrets. Even a country might not know about it, because the Ancient Martial Sects are hidden and powerful, with long traditions. Take China, for example, there are many restricted areas unknown to the public, such as Heaven Mountain, Kunlun..." Zhang Yide shook his head, seemingly lost in thought as he spoke. Zhang Yide himself was an incredible person, a Superpower User of the Healing type, who also mastered the Gold Element Superpower Strong Skill. Also having lived for a hundred years, he knew quite a few secrets, so for Ye Tianchen’s suggestion that within the Ancient Martial Sects there was something mysterious that could transport one from one planet to another—which seemed like a fantasy—it might not be impossible. This inevitably led to wondering about things in human history spanning over five thousand years or even longer. How did the pyramids come about? Why do Stonehenge exist? Why does China’s Kunlun remain a place even the nation dare not enter? The most famous figures, Zhang Sanfeng, Laozi, Shakyamuni and others, left a significant mark in history. Where had they gone? No grave markers can even be found for them. Isn’t that suspicious? So, thinking about all this, one couldn’t help but wonder if these supremely capable individuals had really left Earth to go to other ancient civilizations in pursuit of the path to Eternal Life? If it were anyone else, even the many masters in today’s Ancient Martial Sects and the powerful Superpower Users might not understand the conversation between Ye Tianchen and Zhang Yide. This is because Ye Tianchen came from an apocalypse planet, a vast, mythical world full of wonders, while Zhang Yide was a centenarian who managed to dodge death. Their way of thinking naturally wasn’t brainwashed by modern textbooks. Ye Tianchen glanced at Zhang Yide, it seemed that he really didn’t know about such a thing. It looked like in the future, he really needed to visit some Ancient Martial Sects. Relying on modern Earth technology to reach ancient stars was impossible; getting to the Moon and Mars was difficult enough, let alone returning to the distant apocalypse planet. "If Dragon Marrow Grass is found, can it still extend Xiao Ya’s mother’s life?" Ye Tianchen asked after a moment’s thought. "It could extend her life for at least ten years, but don’t get your hopes up. Earth’s environment has already been destroyed, nature itself has changed its Magic Laws. Divine Medicine like Dragon Marrow Grass absolutely can’t be found anymore!" Zhang Yide shook his head as he spoke. "Then how did you obtain Dragon Marrow Grass back in the day?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask. "It seems like you’re quite concerned about that young girl’s mother’s illness, wanting to pursue..." Zhang Yide suddenly had a peculiar sparkle in his eyes as he stared intently at Ye Tianchen and asked. "She looks a lot like a friend of mine, but my concern for her is like that of a brother to a sister. Besides, isn’t saving a life better than creating a seven-tier pagoda?" Ye Tianchen said. Zhang Yide glanced at Ye Tianchen, always feeling that this young man was not at all like a youth. He believed so because sometimes the things Ye Tianchen spoke about and the questions he raised even puzzled Zhang Yide, a centenarian, and yet, they seemed to suddenly enlighten him. These were not things someone of his age should be aware of. Even if he was profoundly powerful, experience was not something that could be increased by strength alone; it required tempering and the accumulation of time, especially in terms of understanding cultivation realms and his way of thinking about traveling to other ancient stars, which seemed to be far more knowledgeable than Zhang himself, shocking him deeply. "Alright, I’ll tell you... Back then, I acquired it unintentionally at Shaolin Temple, that was over thirty years ago. I was wandering throughout the major southern rivers and northern lakes, searching for some remaining rare and exotic herbs. In the back mountains of the Shaolin Temple, within a forbidden area, I met a bald monk with hair and beard all white, hanging down to his chest, who seemed to have lived for an unknowable length of time, giving off the air of a true hermit. Next to him, there was a Dragon Marrow Grass planted, and I really wanted to acquire it because it could be refined into a medicine for prolonging life, but I couldn’t get close, as an invisible pressure made it impossible for me to advance..." Zhang Yide seemed to have fallen into the memories of the past, his tone carrying a trace of surprise, reverence, and a bit of fear. Hearing Zhang Yide’s story, Ye Tianchen also couldn’t help but be alarmed. Knowing that Zhang Yide had reached a hundred years in age, yet still retained such a dynamic combat ability, if it had been more than thirty years ago, it would have been difficult to encounter anyone within the Ancient Martial Sects or among the Superpower Experts who could rival Zhang Yide in a fight. Even if there were, Zhang Yide would certainly not feel any fear. How powerful must the opponent be to instill a sense of fear in a peerless master?

Ye Tianchen thought that since Zhang Yide was able to obtain the Dragon Marrow Grass, he must have had some interaction with this mysterious monk. "No, just when I was in despair, thinking I could never get the Dragon Marrow Grass and preparing to leave, that monk suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes reflected a piercing light as if they could see through a person. He only said one sentence to me: ’I have lived too long. Your medical skills are excellent. I hope this Dragon Marrow Grass can help you aid those who need it!’" Zhang Yide said with a solemn expression. "This..." Ye Tianchen was also shocked to the extreme, not expecting that such a master still existed on earth today. It seemed there were many many unknown secrets waiting to be explored. "Right, I remember when the monk passed away, he said another sentence..." Zhang Yide suddenly seemed to remember something, and his eyes filled with surprise. Thirty years had passed, and he was starting to understand the monk’s words a little, thanks to Ye Tianchen’s reminders, which exceeded ordinary thinking. After all, even if Zhang Yide was impressive, he still lived within worldly thoughts, unavoidably constrained by conventional ideologies. "What did the monk say?" Ye Tianchen hurriedly asked. At this moment, both Ye Tianchen and Zhang Yide had become serious, with Ye Tianchen showing rare solemnity, because he knew these were secrets that probably no more than a few people in the world knew. These secrets had long surpassed human thought and transcended any national laws or regulations. To put it bluntly, in the face of these secrets and the absolute power of the Ancient Martial Sects, national boundaries were insignificant. "After he spoke that sentence, he suddenly looked up at the sky, gazed towards the Emperor Star, that’s right, the Emperor Star, and with a look of realization, he said: ’It’s a pity the Transmission Array is damaged, and hard to repair; otherwise, I could also follow the traces of my ancestors to see if there really is anyone who has achieved immortality, if there really are immortals...’" Transmission Array? Heading to the Emperor Star where ancestors’ traces might exist, possibly concealing the secrets to the Longevity Skill and immortality, was a truly soul-shaking existence. If the words of the departed monk were true, just repairing the Transmission Array could allow one to visit the Emperor Star, where undoubtedly, madness-inducing secrets awaited. The Emperor Star, in modern terms, was unheard of even among those scholars and experts studying the mysteries of the universe and the star system because the term ’Emperor Star’ was only recorded in very ancient texts. Perhaps only the Ancient Martial Sects that have been passed down to the present day were aware of it, as many Ancient Martial Sects were originally evolved from so-called Cultivation Sects and naturally retained some secrets. From Zhang Yide’s words, Ye Tianchen learned many astonishing secrets. The Ancient Martial Sects still existed up to today, with some active in society, but these sects were no longer the true Ancient Martial Sects but merely the façade of such. Places like the Shaolin Temple, Emei, and Wudang were freely open to the public to visit, yet everyone only saw the surface; they could never see the truly shocking aspects, which were kept hidden away. The real masters, the true powerhouses, were not entities that ordinary people could encounter; they were no longer part of the same world. "The Emperor Star... with such a name, could it be..." Ye Tianchen suddenly exclaimed in amazement. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to QiDian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
