Eternal Saber-Chapter 342 - 63: Miracle

Originally, Shen Yu wanted to keep Chen Tang by her side.

But now, with Chen Tang causing such a big trouble, even if she wished to, her father would never agree.

To the Celestial Cauldron Continent, after all, Chen Tang was an outsider.

Her father, being the Military Lord of Chuansi Country, could not risk offending the entire Hermit Organization for an outsider.

But Shen Yu didn’t want to claim she was coerced by Chen Tang; that way, her father would never spare Chen Tang.

Chen Tang asked, "How long will it take to reach the Celestial Cauldron Continent?"

Shen Yu replied, "It depends on the wind. If it goes smoothly, it will take about ten days, at most fifteen days to reach the Celestial Cauldron Continent."

Chen Tang asked again, "On the Celestial Cauldron Continent, are there any ships that can go to the Divine Land?"

According to Shen Yu, her Chuansi Country definitely had it.

But under the current circumstances, he certainly wouldn’t be able to board a ship from Chuansi Country and would have to find another way.

Shen Yu thought for a moment and said, "There is one. At the intersection of the four countries on the Celestial Cauldron Continent, there’s an Old Capital, which is the largest city of the Celestial Cauldron Continent. It used to be the capital of the Celestial Cauldron Continent, the most prosperous. Later, when the Continent Lord died suddenly and the four countries waged war, it became the Old Capital."

Chen Tang asked, "Which country does this Old Capital belong to now?"

Shen Yu replied, "It doesn’t belong to any country. The Old Capital is an independent piece of pure land, beyond the jurisdiction of the four countries."

"Oh?"

Hearing Shen Yu’s words, Chen Tang was somewhat surprised.

The way it sounds, the Old Capital is an uncontrolled area.

He was being pursued by the Hermit Organization, and the four countries wouldn’t dare to be associated with him.

But in this Old Capital, he might find a ship to return to the Divine Land.

Shen Yu explained, "Although the four countries each have their own capitals, the Old Capital remains the center of the four countries. It’s also called the Holy Land of the Celestial Cauldron Continent, where divine miracles exist."

"Over the years, regardless of how fierce the wars among the four countries have been, they have never affected this place. The realm of the Old Capital continued to expand, becoming more prosperous and populous than before."

"Anyone who dares to bring the fire of war to the Old Capital will become the target of all and endure the wrath of all the people of Celestial Cauldron!"

"Interesting."

Chen Tang remarked to himself.

In a time of heroic rivalries and conflicts, it’s indeed rare to have such a city remain untouched.

From this, it seems that the people here sincerely respect what is called a divine miracle, almost as if it’s a faith.

Chen Tang asked, "The divine miracle you mentioned, what exactly is it?"

"In the legends of the Celestial Cauldron Continent, there are three deities."

Shen Yu said, "They are the Sea God, the Sun God, and the Moon God. After the three deities left, they left behind three great divine artifacts, which are now kept in the Old Capital, guarded by the Murakumo, Amaterasu, and Moonlit Night families. These families naturally receive the protection and legacy of the divine artifacts."

"The heads of these three families are also the military lords of the three countries in the Celestial Cauldron’s four nations."

Chen Tang nodded.

So that’s the background of the three countries within Celestial Cauldron.

Chen Tang asked, "Does your Shen Family guard any divine artifact or something?"

Hearing this, Shen Yu’s eyes dimmed, and she shook her head.

Compared to the other three countries, the Shen Family has nothing to do with divine miracles.

Chen Tang noticed Shen Yu’s disappointment and comforted her, "Your father is quite amazing. Without the legacy of the three great divine artifacts, he managed to establish a country and stand alongside the three great nations."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu seemed to recall something and smiled, "Actually, my father couldn’t compete with them originally; in terms of prestige and strength, he couldn’t match the other three countries. It wasn’t until a few decades ago, when he received help from a sage, that he achieved his current great enterprise."

"Oh?"

Chen Tang was intrigued and asked, "Is it the sage who taught you the Tiger Subduing Fist?"

Previously, Shen Yu had demonstrated a complete set of Tiger Subduing Fist in front of him, with precise movements, clearly a true transmission.

Shen Yu had also told him if he was willing to go with her, she would introduce him.

Shen Yu nodded quickly and said, "Brother Chen guessed it right."

"What’s the name of this elder?"

Chen Tang asked.

Shen Yu replied, "The elder calls himself Ming Yue Wanderer, and I always call him Uncle Wanderer."

"Ming Yue Wanderer?"

Chen Tang slightly frowned, as if in thought.

This is obviously not a name, just a title.

Several decades ago...

Chen Tang seemed to recall something and asked, "Is this Elder Ming Yue also from the Divine Land?"

"How do you know?"

Shen Yu’s eyes widened with uncertainty and asked, "Brother Chen, do you know Uncle Wanderer?"

"No, no, you are too different in age."

Shen Yu shook her head quickly and said, "Brother Chen, have you heard of Uncle Wanderer?"

"No."

Chen Tang said, "The Tiger Subduing Fist is known only to people from the Divine Land. I was just guessing randomly."

Shen Yu sighed lightly and said, "It’s just a pity that when we return, I won’t be able to take you to see him. Otherwise, I would surely take you to meet him."

"If Uncle Wanderer sees someone from the Divine Land, I’m sure he’ll be very pleased."

After a pause, Shen Yu added, "You once asked me why I have no hostility towards you. Actually, that reasoning was taught to me by Uncle Wanderer. No matter where you are, there are good and bad people. Uncle Wanderer is from the Divine Land, and he treated me very well."

Chen Tang vaguely had a suspicion in his heart, but it was too shocking to be deemed accurate.

If the opportunity arises, he truly wished to meet this Ming Yue Wanderer.

"Ming Yue Wanderer, Ming Yue, hmm..."

Chen Tang muttered softly.

He inquired more about the Celestial Cauldron Continent and the Old Capital, and without noticing, the dawn was breaking.

Chen Tang noticed Shen Yu yawn and apologized, "I asked too much, you should go rest, you’ve been up all night without sleep."

"It’s okay, it’s already dawn."

Shen Yu smiled and said, "I’ll get the chef to prepare some food."

"Oh, Xiao Pu, please take Brother Chen and this... sister to the guest rooms, and have breakfast brought over when it’s ready."

Shen Yu gave instructions.

Just as Chen Tang turned around, he remembered something and said, "I eat a lot, please make a little extra."

"I’ve experienced it, don’t worry."

Shen Yu laughed.

Led by Xiao Pu, Chen Tang and Ye Yushi stayed in two guest rooms within the ship’s cabin.

"Before eating here, it’s still necessary to test with the Silver Needle."

Before parting, Chen Tang whispered to Ye Yushi when no one was around.

Ye Yushi lightly exclaimed, looking at Chen Tang with a questioning look.

Rationally, Shen Yu had no reason to do such a thing.

Poisoning should be a tactic of the Hermit.

Chen Tang did not explain much and said ambiguously, "Having just left the Hermit Continent, the threat hasn’t been lifted, it’s always good to be cautious."

The two returned to their rooms, and not long after, a servant brought breakfast, which was quite sumptuous.

Chen Tang, with his Entering the Divine State technique, didn’t use the Silver Needle. He tried several dishes one by one.

There was no poison.

He exhaled a sigh of relief and, after finishing eating, left some behind.

Chen Tang got up, picked up two eggs and some dry food, easily packable items, wrapped them in oil paper, and tucked them into his cloak.

Afterward, Chen Tang went outside.

"Does Brother Chen have a matter?"

Xiao Pu encountered Chen Tang and inquired.

"No matter."

Chen Tang said casually, "You go on with your tasks, I’ll just wander around."
