Chapter 2200: Awaiting That Day Chapter 2200: Awaiting That Day Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Behind him stood two women. One of them was dressed like a maid and was as beautiful as a flower. She appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, radiating purity and loveliness. Her skin was so delicate that it seemed like water could be squeezed from it. Her martial talent was also impressive. At such a young age, she had already reached the peak of the Star Aperture realm. Even Ye Chen found himself staring at her for a moment. The other woman was very old. She had silver hair and a face full of wrinkles. She was dressed very simply and casually. She had her head lowered and her waist bent, resembling an ordinary farmer’s woman. However, among the people present, Ye Chen regarded this old woman the most highly, for no other reason than her strength, This unassuming old woman was an eighth-stage Sealed Gate realm expert! The young man in the yellow robe did not even glance at Ye Chen. It was as if he regarded Ye Chen as invisible. He merely examined the ancient door before him without any distractions. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth turned upward, and he smiled at the old woman beside him. “Elder Tong, it seems that we have discovered a treasure this time. I initially thought that the jade talisman that my father gave me was just an unnecessary item. Were it not for your reminder, I would not have even come here. Now, it appears that this jade talisman is truly remarkable.” The wrinkles on the old woman’s face shifted as she smiled and replied, “Indeed. Based on my experience, this is an ancient ruin. The treasures within should be incredibly valuable.” “It is unfortunate that I did not obtain more information from that person. If I had known that this was an ancient ruin, I might have asked His Majesty to send a few of the most powerful experts of the royal family to accompany you, Seventh Prince.” The Seventh Prince waved his hand and said, “Elder Tong, you are too modest. With you present, I believe it is sufficient. Furthermore, it is not wise for too many people to be aware of this matter. If my brothers learn of it, they will surely come and interfere. The current situation is ideal.” As he spoke, he slowly turned his gaze towards Ye Chen, as if he had just now noticed his presence. Ye Chen, on the other hand, had maintained an indifferent expression throughout. Based on their conversation, this young man appeared to be a member of the royal family. Could he be from the royal family of the Southern Region? At that moment, the maidservant beside the young man scolded Ye Chen coldly, “How dare you?! Why are you not bowing to the Seventh Prince of the Southern Region?” Ye Chen’s lips curled into a smile. He completely disregarded them. What did it matter if they were from the royal family? Thus, Ye Chen placed his hands behind his back and remained silent. After a moment, he spoke, “I am not from the Southern Region. Why should I bow to the royal family of a foreign region?” The Seventh Prince regarded Ye Chen for a moment and then suddenly smiled. In an unexpected turn, he swiftly turned around and raised his hand to slap the pure, sweet, and beautiful girl beside him. With a sharp sound, the young girl was sent flying. She cried out in pain as she fell to the ground.  He had not held back with that slap! Ye Chen could not suppress his astonishment upon witnessing this scene. He had not anticipated that the Seventh Prince would treat this maidservant in such a manner. The maidservant was equally bewildered. Her face was swollen as she gazed at the Seventh Prince in shock. The prince had actually struck her for a mere Star Aperture realm expert? Meanwhile, on a tall mountain situated one hundred miles away from the maple forest, two elders observed the sea of clouds. One of them was the Eternal Sacred King. However, a hint of concern was evident on the Eternal Sacred King’s face. The multitude of worries within him had culminated into a deep sense of unease, gathering in his very being. Beside the Eternal Sacred King stood an old friend clad in coarse clothing. This old friend had lost many bets to him in the past. Not long ago, his old friend had suffered defeat at the Freezing Sky Mountain. “Why have you sought me out, old man?” the Eternal Sacred King inquired after taking another sip of wine. “Are you attempting to cheat me? A loss is a loss. I will not give you that item. You know how stingy I can be.” The Eternal Sacred King appeared exceedingly cautious. “No!” The elder shook his head. After a long pause, he spoke, “Old Yong, the Divine Kingdom’s Heavenly Dao Palace is already pursuing you.” “You can no longer hide.” “Why not go to that place and lay low for a while?” “The Divine Kingdom is aware of your abilities. In order to deal with you, they will not send weaklings.” “This time, can you foresee your own fate?” “Old Yong, heed my advice and go into hiding.” “I do not wish to play games in front of your tombstone in the future.” The Eternal Sacred King’s eyes flickered, yet they held no trace of fear. Instead, he conveyed a sense of freedom and ease. He lifted the wine gourd and took a hearty gulp. “Old man, I do not wish to hide,” he smiled. “I am already an old bag of bones. I do not have much time left. I only wish to see that child grow up.” “That child carries too much on his shoulders. I want to witness him step into the Divine Kingdom. I want to see him stand before the Heavenly Dao Palace. I want to see him, like that Ren brat, sever the chains of the Divine Kingdom upon the people of this world.” “That matter lingers as a haze in my heart.” “Old friend, do you know that I possess only this one opportunity?” “I truly possess only this one opportunity. I fear losing it.” The voice of the Eternal Sacred King trembled. The old man sighed. He understood Elder Yong’s thoughts. However, as a friend, he could only wish for him to continue living, even if it meant hiding. Suddenly, the Eternal Sacred King stepped forward and leapt from the cliff, floating in the air. He was filled with ambition, though he appeared impoverished. He raised the wine gourd and gulped down the liquid. His body swayed as he proclaimed, “Old man, I once heard a poem from a place called Huaxia.” “Today, I will share it with you.” “Looking at the door, I miss Zhang Jian, enduring death for a moment, waiting for Du Gen;” “I’ll smile at the heavens with my saber, and I’ll leave my guts behind!” Pa! The Eternal Sacred King hurled the wine gourd into the sky. “The Divine Kingdom is of no consequence! If I perish, that brat Ye will surely shatter the heavens for me. I have faith in him!” As his furious voice echoed, the clouds above roiled, and the aura of destruction spoke of injustice. This was the rage of an old man who had invested all his strength to resist the oppressive rules. He awaited the day when a child would reach maturity! He awaited the moment when that child would reshape the world’s rules!
