Super Combat Soldier-Chapter 1732 - 1731: An Unfathomable Elder

[Requesting reward, an alliance hierarch’s reward is what I’ve always sought; who among you will be the first to reward "Super Warrior"? All are eagerly awaiting...]

Ye Tianchen never expected that beneath this deep abyss, centered around "Taiyi Mountain" with four other peaks, such a situation would unfold. The abyss was so deep it couldn’t be seen, pitch black everywhere, and even Divine Thought couldn’t explore it. Yet when he reached the bottom, it was startlingly bright!

Under this abyss, it indeed presented another scene, like a mountain range with everything: mountains, water, some trees, just like a paradise. But when Ye Tianchen arrived at the bottom, he found a giant black bear that could transform into a three-year-old boy, which truly puzzled him. Following along, he discovered an old man seemed trapped here, with this three-year-old boy and the old man living as a grandfather and grandson, relying on each other.

Ye Tianchen was watching this warm scene, the grandson thoughtfully picking lots of wild fruits for the grandfather, continuously telling him to eat. The grandfather, being reluctant to eat, said they must be stored in case there’s nothing to eat in the future and they’ll go hungry. Such a grandfather-grandson bond and affection truly seemed rare and quite moving!

Unexpectedly, as Ye Tianchen watched this scene, he suddenly heard a voice. It was from the old man seemingly suppressed under a small mountain, telling the little boy to welcome the guest!

What does it mean? Did this old man discover him long ago? Ye Tianchen was surprised in his heart, knowing that his current cultivation realm had reached a silent and soundless level, even blending into the environment and air here. Even a Mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm expert couldn’t discover Ye Tianchen, yet had this old man truly found him? Was it a coincidence, or had he really been discovered? If truly discovered, could this old man’s cultivation realm surpass Mid-stage Martial Saint?

The evolution of Earth to now, despite much unknown and many hidden strong individuals, makes finding a Late Stage Martial Saint realm expert difficult. Saying there’s still a "Saint" realm Great Divine Ability User on Earth sounds absurd, unbelievable unless seen with one’s own eyes!

This three-year-old boy, hearing his grandfather’s words, was also puzzled, looking back with disbelief, saying, "Grandfather, there’s no one here. On my way back, I didn’t feel anyone tracking me!"

"Haha, your cultivation realm is still low, but he is truly an expert!" the old man laughed, stroking the three-year-old boy’s head.

"Oh, then... where is he?" the three-year-old boy cutely looked around but saw nothing. With his cultivation realm, he naturally couldn’t find Ye Tianchen, or he’d have discovered the tracking long ago!

The old man smiled slightly, glanced around, and calmly said, "Young friend seems to have profound cultivation and high realm. Since you have come here, reveal yourself!"

After the old man spoke, nothing moved around, and Ye Tianchen didn’t appear. He heard the old man’s words but was puzzled. Did the old man really discover him? How could it be? He hid even his Divine Thought, and strong Divine Thought couldn’t find him!

"It seems young friend wants to test the old man’s strength. So be it..." As the old man’s voice just fell, his right hand cast a series of runes.

Whoa!

Before the hidden Ye Tianchen in space reacted, runes filled the entire space, and Ye Tianchen turned to retreat, but his rear was sealed by runes, pressing quickly toward him!

Bam!

A fist force shook out from the space, and Ye Tianchen flew out from it, glanced at the old man under the small mountain!

"You... you didn’t get trapped? Still tracked me!" The three-year-old boy looked at Ye Tianchen with some surprise.

Ye Tianchen glanced at the three-year-old boy, then the old man, and politely said, "Hello, elder!"

"Haha, hello young friend. To come here, young friend is the first in thousands of years!" the old man smiled.

"That’s because Earth’s evolution is powerful; fewer martial artists reach the Mortal World, otherwise someone would’ve come long ago!" Ye Tianchen humbly said.

"No, those who reach here must have at least Martial Saint realm cultivation, and you, being so young, are a genius!" the old man earnestly said.

"The elder overpraises; I’m just overly curious!" Ye Tianchen smiled. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"I know, otherwise with your cultivation realm, Hei Hei couldn’t possibly return. Of course, I am trapped here due to others’ formation, without Martial Saint realm cultivation, reaching here is impossible. Indeed, thousands of years have passed!" The old man smiled.

"Elder, you’re trapped here by others? This..." Ye Tianchen asked in surprise.

Ye Tianchen had to express surprise; an elder trapped here for thousands of years without death showed extraordinary vitality and endurance, and this old man not only discovered him but used a rune to compel him from space. Such divine skill makes Ye Tianchen admire, daring not to underestimate this old man suppressed under the small mountain!

"If you want to know the origin of the story, why not sit down and we can chat?" the old man asked with a smile.

"I’d be delighted!" Ye Tianchen nodded and replied.

Ye Tianchen sat down cross-legged on the ground, looking at the old man who was in a lower position. Ye Tianchen gently exerted some force to sink the ground beneath him a bit, maintaining an equal position with the old man, as a sign of courtesy!

"Hei Hei, won’t you bring over some wild fruits to entertain our guest?" The old man glanced at the three-year-old boy beside him, smiling and asked.

The three-year-old boy glanced at Ye Tianchen, made a face at him, then placed a few wild fruits on clean leaves, and brought them over to Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen picked up a wild fruit and handed it to the three-year-old boy, smilingly saying, "You must be hungry, go ahead and eat!"

"Hmph, I picked this, you are offering others’ flowers!" The little boy spoke with quite a temper, and after saying this, he walked away!

Ye Tianchen smiled awkwardly, not expecting this Little Black Bear child to have such a temper. He genuinely intended to offer him a wild fruit, having heard his little stomach grumbling!

"Young friend, Hei Hei fell from the mountain peak years ago, nearly losing its form and spirit. Fortunately, it was lucky, and I managed to heal its injuries later, allowing it to survive. It is very grateful to me, and has a great affection for me, like grandfather and grandson. The child’s soul carries scars, don’t blame him!" the old man said with a faint smile.

"Old timer, what you said is quite right, he is still just a child, and very cute!" Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

The old man glanced at Ye Tianchen and continued, "Young friend, though your years are few, your cultivation realm is so profound. Nowadays, Earth is no longer suitable for cultivation, having someone like you is truly difficult!"

"Old timer, your praise is too generous, with such a cultivation realm, in the true martial arts world, there are so many others, must strive harder!" Ye Tianchen said earnestly.

"Indeed, having such recognition, you can step farther as a strong person. I was too proud back then and thus fell into plots of several people, leading to today’s fate..." The old man seemed to reminisce about past events, speaking with some emotion.

"Old timer, what exactly happened? I’m really curious!" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

"To speak of this matter, it’s necessary to start from five to six thousand years ago..."

The old man seemed to fall into deep memories, bringing Ye Tianchen into his recollections. Ye Tianchen was absolutely shocked, the power was too strong, his divine thought was brought into the old man’s mind, seeing everything like experiencing it firsthand!

The scene changed, Ye Tianchen looked around and found it was a mountain range, within which a few snow-white rabbits were running swiftly, very joyfully. At this moment, a strong murderous aura came, startling the rabbits to quickly hide, transforming into human form, among them was a boy much like the old man.

"That boy was me back then!" the old man’s voice resounded in Ye Tianchen’s ears.

Puff!

Puff!

Puff!

A martial artist attacked, holding a bow and arrow, continuously shooting the white rabbits. Even if they had transformed into human form, he still didn’t let go, as if harboring deep hatred, blood everywhere, bodies covered the ground, the boy aged old man retreated quickly, desperately trying to escape the slaughter, given his cultivation realm at the time, he was utterly no match!

Swoosh!

An arrow light came, seeing the boy aged old man about to be shot, yet a figure suddenly rushed from the side, holding the boy aged old man tightly; the arrow light pierced through this figure’s chest!

"Mother, mother..." the boy aged old man cried loudly, tears streaming, shouting.

"White-er, quickly go, take our Rabbit Clan’s cultivation treasure and leave, the Fox Clan and Wolf Clan are colluding, aiming to annihilate us entirely and snatch our Rabbit Clan’s cultivation treasure, all hope of our Rabbit Clan lies on you..."
