NOVEL NEXT Chapter 3: How Is This Possible?
The many elders listened to the strange but somewhat understandable voice coming from the ring and furrowed their brows. A late-stage Nascent Soul elder looked at Ye Chen and asked, “Sect Master, is this a communication ring?”
Ye Chen nodded with a smile.
However, the other elders continued to frown. “What’s the difference between this and a voice transmission talisman?”
“Let alone the Thousand Miles Voice Transmission spell?”
“The higher one’s cultivation, the more methods they have for conveying information.”
“So, Sect Master, while your ring may be interesting, it is not particularly novel.”
The elders all nodded in agreement.
Indeed… a ring that could transmit sound?
There was nothing special about it.
Feeling the increasingly doubtful gazes, Ye Chen lightly smiled. “Voice transmission talismans can only convey a single message with a delay, and their coverage is extremely limited. Even a top-grade talisman can only cover a thousand miles.“As for the Thousand Miles Voice Transmission spell, it allows real-time communication, but is limited by one’s divine sense. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator can only cover ten thousand miles.
“As for other communication artifacts, like our sect’s famous Heart Jade Pendants, two pendants can sense each other’s general direction within a hundred thousand miles and exchange simple messages. However, you can only communicate with the other pendant, not with anyone else…
“Perhaps there are other artifacts or methods, but they all have significant limitations.
“For instance, they cannot communicate with the outside world when inside secret realms or blessed lands.”
As Ye Chen spoke, the faces of the many elders changed.
It was true what Ye Chen said.
Those methods indeed had various issues and were not convenient.
But, was he suggesting…
The elders looked at the unremarkable ring in their hands with astonishment.
Ye Chen lifted his chin confidently. “That’s right…
“My ring artifact has none of those limitations.
“No matter the distance between us, we can communicate at any time.
“And it’s not just a simple exchange of messages. We can converse as if we were face-to-face.
“Moreover, you can communicate with more than just one person. As long as you have a friend’s communication code, you can input their code and communicate with anyone.
“And regardless of whether you are in a secret realm or an extremely dangerous place, you can still communicate with the outside world!
“Most importantly, it is widely applicable!
“Whether you are in the Qi Refining Realm or the Foundation Establishment Realm, you can use it.”
When Ye Chen’s words fell in the hall, it was dead silent.
All the elders were dumbfounded.
This…
Was it a joke?
A particularly burly elder with muscles like steel, who was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, took a step forward. “This is impossible!
“A low-grade artifact engraved with only basic combination array patterns cannot achieve such feats!
“Sect Master, have you been deceived?”
This elder was Wang Changchun, the peak master of the Refining Peak.
He was an artifact refining master capable of refining Dao tools.
His status in the sect was extremely high.
Many elders would request Wang Changchun to create suitable magical and Dao tools for them.
Wang Changchun’s words gained the approval of the others.
Indeed, the Sect Master’s words were like a fantasy to them.
Many elders secretly harbored dissatisfaction with Ye Chen.
As the Sect Master of the Sacred Land, regardless of the reason, it was laughable to make such claims.
If Ye Chen didn’t give them a reasonable explanation, they would impeach him today, even if it meant alerting the Supreme Elders.
The Lord of the Sacred Land held complete authority over the entire realm. It’s not just about having talent or cultivation; otherwise, the Deity Transformation elders would be the Lords, wouldn’t they?
—
Facing Elder Wang Changchun’s undisguised questioning expression, Ye Chen remained calm and smiled, saying, “Hearing is false; seeing is believing.
“Elder Wang, if you don’t believe me, why not try it for yourself?”
Being questioned like this, Ye Chen still didn’t get angry. Instead, he suggested that everyone should try it for themselves. The elders present were somewhat taken aback.
Honestly, their rationality told them that this was impossible. However, Ye Chen’s demeanor was so resolute. For a moment, everyone exchanged glances.
Elder Wang Changchun was becoming a bit impatient. He had high hopes for Ye Chen, the young Sacred Land Lord, believing that Ye Chen could take the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land to new heights. He didn’t expect such childish behavior, using such a low-grade artifact to deceive a master like himself.
“I have a technique that allows me to escape thousands of miles away in a hundred breaths!” he said coldly. “Since the Saint Master is so confident, I will go thousands of miles away.”
Wang Changchun’s voice was exceptionally icy. After finishing speaking, he was about to leave. But Ye Chen waved his hand and said, “Elder Wang, don’t be in such a hurry!”
Wang Changchun thought Ye Chen was going to admit his mistake. Considering Ye Chen’s talent, he was willing to step back and not make a big fuss, focusing on more important matters. However, he didn’t expect Ye Chen to continue, “Elder Wang, you haven’t exchanged contact information with the other elders present. How will you contact them once you are thousands of miles away?”
Wang Changchun’s face instantly turned ice-cold. He looked deeply at Ye Chen, then turned around and noted the contact information of another elder. His aura soared, and the terrifying divine might of his late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation erupted.
The Golded Core Realm elders present couldn’t help but feel their hearts skip a beat. The early and middle-stage Nascent Soul elders were also extremely shocked. The next moment, a roar of an azure dragon echoed, and Wang Changchun’s figure vanished in an instant.
After Wang Changchun left, the elders looked at each other. They could tell that Elder Wang was genuinely angry and dissatisfied with the Saint Master. Elder Wang had been in the sect for six hundred years, a senior member. Coupled with his late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation and his status as a master artifact refiner, even the Deity Transformation elders would have to take his possible impeachment of Ye Chen seriously.
Everyone looked at Ye Chen, who still appeared calm and collected. This made them sigh inwardly. What had happened to their young Saint Master? A low-grade artifact couldn’t possibly possess so many incredible functions.
Silence filled the hall. Everyone knew that something significant might happen in the Sacred Land. The first impeached Saint Master might soon appear, making everyone feel unsettled. No one felt like speaking.
After a long while, an elder said, “A hundred breaths have passed. Elder Zhang, has your communication ring received any response?”
Everyone looked at Elder Zhang. Elder Zhang, an old man with white hair and beard, glanced at the ring on his hand and shook his head. As expected, it was useless!
All the elders couldn’t help but look at Ye Chen with various expressions.
One of the elders who had taken special care of Ye Chen in the past couldn’t help but speak up, “Your Holiness, no one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes…
“Mistakes are not the problem, as long as they are corrected.
“Let’s wait for Elder Wang to return, and you can apologize to him. Otherwise, if the news reaches the Supreme Elders and they come out of seclusion, that would be…”
However, the elder’s words were cut off midway.
Elder Zhang’s face suddenly changed, “My ring has received a response…
“There’s a communication request within my spiritual sense…”
“It’s asking if I want to accept the call!”
???
In an instant, everyone’s gaze turned towards Elder Zhang.
Meanwhile, the corners of Ye Chen’s mouth curled up slightly…
