Chapter 24 Backer



Ye Chen didn't know how he managed to hold on. After accepting everything, he could only lie on the ground with a helpless expression on his face, as if he had been played to pieces.

Even for a body that devours fire, the Bifang Flame is not so easy to swallow. After Ye Chen swallowed the Bifang Flame, his whole body was red and burning hot as if on fire. If you put an egg on him, it can be roasted in a short time. In order to prevent this "son of luck" whom he admired from dying, the old man helped him to dredge the true qi in his body, and then successfully integrated the Bifang Flame into his blood.

By the time the old man finished his work, a whole day had passed.

The old man was sweating profusely and his Qi was completely exhausted. He could only lean against a big tree and slowly adjust his breathing. After Ye Chen had been baptized by the fire, he finally woke up from his coma.

The first moment he woke up, Ye Chen stared at the sky with lifeless eyes for a while, then jumped up and subconsciously wanted to escape. But before he could take a step, he heard the old man slowly say: "Boy, where do you want to run to?"

Ye Chen's mouth curled up, and it was hard to tell whether he was crying or laughing. He said to the old man with a sad face: "Master, I have no grudge against you, why do you treat me like this?"

The old man snorted coldly, "You are such an ungrateful kid! If I hadn't seen how amazing you are, I wouldn't have spent so much effort to help you fuse the spiritual fire. But you are so good, you don't even realize that you have taken advantage of me. All my efforts have been wasted!"

Ye Chen was startled, and quickly used his Qi to observe the situation in his body. This Qi was not a big deal, and he immediately found that there was a ball of blazing fire in his Dantian. This fire was so blazing that it gave people the feeling that it could burn all the grass and trees in the world, but in his Dantian it was obedient, as if it had been tamed.

Ye Chen swung his palm towards the tree beside him. The palm wind carried an extremely hot wind, and a palm print was left on the tree trunk. Ye Chen was surprised and happy, and said, "I actually merged with the flame of Bifang?"

"Bifang Flame?" The old man said thoughtfully, "Boy, it seems that you know the origin of this spiritual fire! But isn't the Bifang Flame on Bifang Plain? How did you get it?"

"This..." Hearing the old man's question, Ye Chen didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Fortunately, the old man didn't seem to want to ask too many questions, and just said calmly: "Although I haven't been back to Taiwei Sect for a long time, I am still a member of Taiwei Sect after all. Since you are a disciple of Taiwei Sect, I, as a senior of Taiwei Sect, naturally have to take care of you. I only hope that after you have integrated this Bifang Flame, you can contribute more to the sect, and I, an old man, will be satisfied."

But Ye Chen looked a little embarrassed. He had snatched the Bifang Flame from a fellow disciple, and it was really hard to show it to others. If others found out, being expelled from the sect would be the least of his problems. But now the Bifang Flame had merged into his body, and he could no longer hide it if he wanted to.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen suddenly had an idea and thought of a solution.

Ye Chen asked the old man tentatively: "Master uncle, why haven't you returned to the sect for so many years?"

The old man sighed, a look of reminiscence on his face: "I don't know what the current situation of Taiwei Sect is, but when I left Taiwei Sect, Taiwei Sect had already declined to the extreme. At that time, I felt that Taiwei Sect would be expelled from the sect soon, and I was powerless to do anything about it. The only thing I could do was to leave Taiwei Sect and leave as much heritage as possible for Taiwei Sect. As long as my heritage is there, even if Taiwei Sect is expelled from the sect, it will rise again sooner or later."

Ye Chen immediately flattered him: "Master uncle has a far-sighted vision, which is admirable!"

The old man looked at him with appreciation, feeling like he knew him well. "I didn't expect that after all these years, you are the only one who can understand my thoughts. But my senior brother, your great master, disagreed with my idea and said that I was shirking my responsibility. Humph! He didn't shirk his responsibility, but did Taiwei Sect rise again in his hands? I did this just to leave a seed for Taiwei Sect!"

Ye Chen also agreed: "Master is not as far-sighted as you, so it is normal that he does not understand you."

The old man shook his head and said, "That can't be said. As the head of the sect, he naturally had to consider more things. To be honest, there really weren't many people in the Taiwei Sect at that time. Senior brother went through so much trouble to only accept disciples with slightly better qualifications. Without disciples with good qualifications, the Taiwei Sect would have declined step by step."

At this point, the old man suddenly asked Ye Chen: "By the way, how are my senior brother's three disciples now?"

Ye Chen replied: "The head master is now in the state of transformation of spirits, and is said to be only one step away from the state of integration. The second master is a little behind my master, but he has also entered the state of transformation of spirits."

"How is this possible!" the old man couldn't help but exclaimed, "The Taiwei Heart Sutra is already in tatters, and it can only be practiced to the Golden Elixir realm at best. I have been thinking hard for years, but I can only deduce to the Golden Elixir Perfection realm, and I have never entered the realm of Transformation of the Spirit. How did your master and uncles advance to the realm of Transformation of the Spirit?"

Seeing the surprised look on the old man's face, Ye Chen felt a little jealous.

The original "Taiwei Heart Sutra" was indeed in tatters, and could only be practiced to the Golden Elixir realm at best. The fundamental reason why Taiwei Sect had been declining for hundreds of years was also because of this. If this continued, Taiwei Sect would inevitably be completely expelled, and even if it could accept disciples with superior qualifications, it would be of no use.

But who could have thought that a guy named Feng Shao would suddenly appear in Taiwei Sect.

Soon after Feng Shao entered the Taiwei Sect, he led a group of people to deduce the Taiwei Heart Sutra. After years of continuous research and deduction, it was perfected to 80%. It is said that the Taiwei Heart Sutra deduced by Feng Shao can be practiced to the state of harmony with the Tao, which is two levels higher than the previous broken Taiwei Heart Sutra.

In other words, the fact that Qingyangzi and his two senior brothers and sisters can now cultivate to the state of transformation of the spirit is entirely inseparable from Feng Shao's contribution.

But Ye Chen is proud and arrogant, and has always coveted the position of the sect's holy son. How could he be willing to acknowledge Feng Shao's great contribution?

So he rolled his eyes and said to the old man: "Master uncle, speaking of this, I am afraid there is something I have to tell you."

The old man asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Ye Chen sighed and said, "Uncle Master, you don't know. The Taiwei Heart Sutra of our sect was indeed incomplete. It was only after the head master led a group of disciples to deduce the incomplete Taiwei Heart Sutra that it was perfected. In this matter, many brothers and sisters made great efforts, but in the end, all the credit was taken away by the eldest disciple of the head master. He also threatened that if Taiwei Sect did not have him, it would have fallen long ago."

The old man couldn't help but get angry when he heard this: "How ridiculous! How can there be such a shameless person in this world?"

Ye Chen nodded repeatedly: "That's right, my great-uncle master, but he is the chief disciple after all, and the entire Taiwei Sect is headed by him. What's more, outside of Taiwei Sect, people only know him as the chief disciple, but not the chief of Taiwei Sect. He is really usurping the throne and acting recklessly!"

The old man's anger grew, and he slapped his thigh fiercely, saying angrily: "He is so reckless, don't you think your head master will do anything about it?"

Ye Chen pretended to be helpless and sighed: "Uncle Master, do you think the head master doesn't want to take care of it? He can't do it! Now almost everyone in the entire sect only listens to his eldest disciple. Who still takes him seriously as the head master? If it weren't for the grace of teaching and imparting knowledge, I'm afraid his eldest disciple would have become the head master himself long ago!"

The old man believed it and could not help slapping his thighs repeatedly, indignant and sad: "Unfortunate for our master! Unfortunate for our master! We worked hard to build a good foundation, but we let this young man become famous. God is blind!"

The old man pounded the ground while shouting. After venting for a while, he suddenly raised his head with a fierce look in his eyes: "Boy, since your head master can't be the master of the sect, I have no choice but to leave the mountain! You pack up now, and I will go back with you! I want to see what kind of person is there who dares to betray his master and ancestors!"

Ye Chen was overjoyed in his heart, but he looked embarrassed: "But Uncle Master, he is the headmaster's eldest disciple after all..."

"What a bullshit master's disciple!" the old man cursed, "Even if you are the master's uncle, you have to respectfully call me 'uncle' when you see me! Others may accept his identity as the master's disciple, but I won't!"

Ye Chen was immediately delighted and said quickly: "In that case, I will accompany my uncle-master on this journey!"

At this moment, Ye Chen's heart was already filled with joy. I don't know if this old man has been in the forest for too long, but he is so easy to fool. He was won over to his side with just a few words, and it took almost no effort. With such a great god as his backer, even if people knew that he had robbed the Bifang Flame, no one would dare to make trouble for him!

More importantly, Feng Shao, whom he has always disliked, is now in big trouble!

Ye Chen almost laughed out loud at the thought of Feng Shao being scolded by this stupid uncle.

At this time, the old man suddenly asked: "By the way, kid, you haven't told me the name of the head disciple."

Ye Chen quickly said: "Reporting to Master Uncle, his name is Feng Shao."
