Chapter 298: Chapter 265: The Voice within the Divine Sword
Ye Chen naturally suspected that the Divine Sword had fallen from the Upper Realm due to the war between the three clans.
Previously, Ye Chen and Feng Ling were too far from the Divine Sword, and Feng Ling couldn\'t sense its aura. Now that Ye Chen had reached the body of the Divine Sword, he naturally asked Feng Ling about the origins of the Divine Sword.
"This aura..."
Upon hearing Ye Chen\'s doubts, Feng Ling\'s divine consciousness spread out from Azure Blue Mansion, enveloping the blade and sensing its aura.
"It is indeed a divine artifact of a Void Sky True God, a weapon used by an existence of that level!"
"However..."
As the sensing continued, Feng Ling\'s feathers shook gently, "However, I am not familiar with this aura, and I do not sense the presence of the powerful beings of the Divine Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, and Flying Spirit clans on it. The Divine Blood stained on it does not seem to be that of the clan members of the three clans, rather, it seems like it is, it seems like it is..."

Feng Ling also seemed uncertain.
"Elder Feng Ling, it seems like what?" Hearing that it was unrelated to the Divine Phoenix Clan, the Vermilion Bird Clan, and the Flying Spirit Clan, Ye Chen was somewhat surprised.
He had initially thought that the Divine Sword was related to the war between the three clans and that he might learn more about the Divine Phoenix Clan from it. Unexpectedly, there was no connection.
But hearing the uncertainty in Feng Ling\'s voice also moved Ye Chen, evidently, even if the Divine Sword had nothing to do with the war between the three clans, Feng Ling seemed to still know something from the Divine Blood stained on the blade.
Instead of answering Ye Chen directly, Feng Ling said to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, do you remember I told you that the strongest in the Minor Spirit Realm of the Upper Realm were six ancient clans?"
Ye Chen nodded.
He had learned about the six great ancient clans of the Upper Realm back in the secret realm of the Ancient God Tower in his ancestral land, and he was quite connected to the Yan Clan, one of those six clans, even having clashed with a phantom of the spiritual consciousness left by the granddaughter of an ancient emperor of the Yan Clan, Yan Ling\'er, and he even had an Ancient Token of the Yan Clan.
Later, through Feng Ling, Ye Chen learned about the Divine Phoenix Clan, the Vermilion Bird Clan, and the Flying Spirit Clan among the six great ancient clans.
Ye Chen\'s understanding of the six great ancient clans of the Upper Realm was growing.
Now, hearing Feng Ling\'s words, Ye Chen\'s mind stirred. Feng Ling mentioned the six ancient clans, but this Divine Blood was unrelated to the Divine Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, and Flying Spirit clans. Could it be related to another of the three great ancient clans?
Of the other three great ancient clans, Ye Chen only knew of the Yan Clan, and the names of the two other ancient clans were unknown to Ye Chen.
Amidst Ye Chen\'s conjectures, Feng Ling\'s voice reached him, "From this Divine Blood, I feel an aura that seems to be of the \'Blood God Clan,\' one of the six ancient clans which my master mentioned in the past!"
As she spoke, Feng Ling\'s divine consciousness once again sensed the murderous aura of the Divine Blood on the blade, recalling what her master had told her about the Blood God Clan. Feng Ling\'s voice finally became certain, "With blood reaching the heavens and a murderous aura devouring souls, this, this Divine Blood is probably truly from the \'Blood God Clan\' among the six great ancient clans!"
"If this Divine Blood is from the \'Blood God Clan,\' then this Divine Sword must be related to another great ancient clan that specifically opposed the Blood God Clan— the \'Beiming Clan\'!"
Blood God Clan!
Beiming Clan!
The words of Feng Ling shocked Ye Chen.
He had also speculated whether this Divine Sword and Divine Blood were related to the war between the Divine Phoenix Clan, the Vermilion Bird Clan, and the Flying Spirit Clan, and even later suspected a connection with the Yan Clan.
Now, Phoenix Spirit was actually mentioning another two ancient clans he had never even heard of!
Ye Chen finally learned the names of all six mightiest ancient clans in the Upper Realm: the Divine Phoenix Clan, the Vermilion Bird Clan, the Flying Spirit Clan, the Yan Clan, the Beiming Clan, and the Blood God Clan!
"Ye Chen, I don\'t know much about the \'Beiming Clan\' and the \'Blood God Clan,\' and I also don\'t know much about the \'Yan Clan.\' What I do know is that the Minor Spirit Realm\'s six ancient clans divided the realm, with the \'Divine Phoenix Clan,\' the \'Vermilion Bird Clan,\' and the \'Flying Spirit Clan\' located in the southern territories of the Minor Spirit Realm, while the \'Yan Clan,\' \'Beiming Clan,\' and \'Blood God Clan\' are in the northern territories."
"A natural chasm separates the southern and northern territories of the Minor Spirit Realm, hence there is little interaction between the two! Even if there is a great war involving the three clans from the south, the three clans from the north usually do not participate."
"I\'ve heard that the \'Yan Clan\' is the most secretive of the six great ancient clans. But the \'Blood God Clan\' and the \'Beiming Clan\' are deadly enemies! Rumor has it that both ancient clans are vying for control over the Minor Spirit Realm\'s \'Beiming Divine Sea,\' and large-scale wars frequently erupt!"
"This Divine Sword could well have belonged to a Void Sky True God of the \'Beiming Clan.\' It became damaged during a major battle against another Void Sky True God from the \'Blood God Clan.\' It was then coated with the true blood of the \'Blood God Clan\' and fell from the Upper Realm into this Lower Realm!"
Phoenix Spirit shared her conjectures with Ye Chen.
Hearing Phoenix Spirit\'s words, Ye Chen heaved a long sigh.
He had long been told by Yan Ling\'er that the Minor Spirit Realm was much more perilous than the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, with countless struggles. It turned out to be true indeed.
In the south of the Minor Spirit Realm, three clans waged war, while in the north, two ancient clans fought in blood battles. It seemed the whole Minor Spirit Realm was shrouded in conflicts and strife!
"If this Divine Sword truly belongs to the Beiming Clan, then I shall take a look and see what the interior space of a Divine Sword owned by one of the six great ancient clans of the Upper Realm looks like."
Ye Chen looked up at the gap in the body of the Divine Sword, his eyes shining brightly.
After the Yan Clan and the Divine Phoenix Clan, Ye Chen was about to come into contact with something related to the third great ancient clan of the Minor Spirit Realm!
The spiritual communication between Ye Chen and Phoenix Spirit occurred in an instant, and at this moment, he had only stood next to the body of the Divine Sword for a short while.
Then, seeing that Ye Chen had finally struck enough Blood Igniting Fruits to obtain one hundred beams of light from the fruits, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder spoke directly to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, enter the Divine Sword and make good use of your one-month training period!"
Mu Qingqing, who was next to Elder Xiao Supreme Elder, also waved her small fists at Ye Chen, smiling and cheering him on.
After hearing Elder Xiao Supreme Elder\'s words, Ye Chen nodded to Elder Xiao and Mu Qingqing with a smile. He then turned his head to look at Lu Jia beside him and the thirteen disciples from the Tai\'a Sword Sect within the Blood Igniting Fruit Grove.
Then, Ye Chen took a deep breath, let Phoenix Spirit\'s spiritual sense return to the Azure Blue Mansion, and with a leap, he transformed into a beam of light, flying towards the damaged gap at the bottom of the Divine Sword\'s blade.
Ye Chen was about to enter inside the Divine Sword!
Just as he finally flew into the body of the Divine Sword under the watchful eyes of a dozen onlookers, unbeknownst to everyone, even to Phoenix Spirit, from the highest point within the 10,000-meter-tall Divine Sword, amidst countless prohibitive formations and arrays, came an old, surprised murmur: "Hmm, the one who released the breath to sense me just now, is such a young boy?!"
"Only fifteen years old? And in this Lower Realm, how could there be the aura of a divine artifact upon him?"
"In all these years, even those at the later stages of Heavenly Saint have not possessed any divine artifact aura! Strange, it\'s really strange!"
"It appears I must carefully see what is special about this young boy. Perhaps my chance to return to the Beiming Clan from the Lower Realm could very well rest upon this boy!"
From the words of this voice, it could be discerned that the Divine Sword was indeed connected to the Beiming Clan of the six great ancient clans of the Minor Spirit Realm!
And what was even more astounding, while Phoenix Spirit had not detected the old voice within the Divine Sword, the old voice had clearly recognized that Phoenix Spirit originated from a divine artifact, bearing its aura!
