Chapter 330: Creating a Miracle! A New Application!
Of course, while the Secret of the Person Character technique was powerful and had countless benefits, it’s not without its drawbacks.
Take Elder Chen’s essence injury, for instance.
If Ye Chen had suffered such an injury himself, he could recover instantly.
But healing others takes hundreds of times longer to take effect.
This made sense when you think about it.
If healing others was as instantaneous as self-healing, cultivators with the Secret of the Person Character would truly defy the heavens.
As Ye Chen pondered this, he observed Elder Chen, whose body was wreathed in golden flames.
The once feeble and withered Elder Chen, visibly aging before their eyes, now had his vitality gradually restored.
His previously hunched body straightened, and his gray hair turned black again.
This visible transformation left the other elders gaping in astonishment.
Origin injuries inspire fear because once the origin was damaged, the perfect human form develops a “hole” through which life force uncontrollably dissipates, leading to eventual death.
But now, Elder Chen’s vitality, spirit, and energy were recovering at a visible rate.
The implications of this left every elder’s heart in turmoil.
Could Elder Chen’s origin injury really be healed by the Sacred Master?
If so, Ye Chen would be making history — achieving something that only immortals were believed capable of.
For a moment, the summit of Formation Peak fell into complete silence.
All the elders watched intently, not wanting to miss a single detail.
After over a hundred breaths, the heavenly flames enveloping Elder Chen finally receded.
The surge of life essence also quieted.
Under everyone’s gaze, Elder Chen opened his eyes.
His face lit up with uncontrollable joy and disbelief.
He immediately looked at Ye Chen, his gratitude plain to see.
“Thank you, Saint Master. My origin has truly been restored to its…”
Before he could finish speaking, the elders collectively gasped.
Had Elder Chen truly recovered?
However, before Elder Chen could express his gratitude, his expression shifted again.
He quickly assumed a meditative posture, his face grave.
The elders froze.
Had something gone wrong?
Was Elder Chen’s origin not fully healed after all?
The elders speculated nervously, suspecting that Ye Chen’s healing technique might only provide temporary relief rather than a permanent cure.
This thought left them sighing internally.
Even if the Saint Master’s technique was unprecedentedly effective, origin injuries were said to be untreatable by anyone below the level of an immortal.
Ye Chen himself was momentarily surprised by Elder Chen’s reaction.
Was there a problem?
That shouldn’t be possible!
Ye Chen knew the Secret of the Person Character’s effects inside and out.
Healing an essence injury should be effortless.
With his current cultivation at the Great Advancement Realm, he could easily see through Elder Chen’s condition.
His essence had undoubtedly been restored.
Narrowing his eyes, Ye Chen examined Elder Chen again.
A moment later, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
—
The elders grew increasingly concerned for Elder Chen.
If his apparent recovery turned out to be another failure, the renewed hope being dashed would be a devastating blow.
They were already considering how to console him afterward.
But suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted from Elder Chen’s body.
The elders felt the overwhelming pressure and stared wide-eyed in shock.
Not only did Elder Chen’s aura not weaken as expected, but it also continued to grow stronger.
His current state didn’t resemble a relapse. It looked more like a breakthrough.
But how could that be?
Even if an origin injury was healed, one’s vitality would still be severely depleted from the lost origin.
How could someone recover and break through at the same time?
The elders were utterly baffled by the scene before them.
As time passed, Elder Chen’s aura continued to rise.
When it reached a critical point, the oppressive might of a Nascent Soul cultivator erupted like a tidal wave.
Distant stewards and disciples trembled under the pressure, some collapsing to the ground.
The elders exchanged incredulous looks.
This was undeniable. Elder Chen was genuinely breaking through.
It was absurd, yet undeniably true.
Ye Chen, however, simply smiled.
With a thought, he suppressed the oppressive aura emanating from Elder Chen.
The distant stewards and disciples breathed a collective sigh of relief.
After nearly another hundred breaths, Elder Chen opened his eyes again.
His deep gaze sparkled with unrestrained joy.
He could hardly believe it. His origin had truly been restored.
Even more astonishing, he had broken through the bottleneck that had stalled him for nearly thirty years, advancing to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Just moments ago, his cultivation was on the verge of falling to the Golden Core Realm.
Now, not only had he recovered, but he had also advanced.
This was a true miracle, a blessing in disguise.
If the countless prodigies in the cultivation world, whose paths were severed by origin injuries, could learn of his experience, they would surely be driven mad with envy.
And all of this was thanks to the Saint Master.
Looking at Ye Chen, who had achieved the impossible and reconnected his severed path to immortality, Elder Chen, an esteemed Nascent Soul elder, was overcome with emotion.
With reddened eyes, he deeply bowed to Ye Chen, his voice trembling as he spoke,
“My origin injury should have ended my immortal path and caused my cultivation to regress.
“But it was you, Saint Master, who helped me reconnect my path and even go a step further.
“Your grace in giving me a new life, I, Chen Zhenming, will never forget it.
“In the future, I will erect a statue of the Saint Master in my family, enshrining you in our ancestral hall. I will pass down a decree that all future generations of the Chen family must worship you daily.
“Should the Saint Master ever need anything, I, Chen Zhenming, will never refuse. Even if it means braving fire and water…”
Elder Chen’s voice echoed across the Sacred Land.
The weight of his words left every elder shaken.
Elder Chen’s origin injury, an ailment that had claimed countless prodigies and could only be healed by immortals, had truly been cured.
And most importantly, Elder Chen hadn’t merely recovered, he had transcended his previous limits.
It even directly caused a breakthrough.
This was even more incredible.
The healing technique of our Saint Master is simply too astonishing.
It might as well be called an immortal technique.
At this moment, all the elders could only look up in awe.
Although the Saint Master wasn’t an immortal yet, in their eyes, he was even more miraculous than the legends of immortals.
The elders looked at Ye Chen with immense reverence, as if they were gazing at a deity.
For them, the Saint Master healing Elder Chen had immense significance.
After all, based on the Saint Master’s character, if they were ever injured, the Saint Master would definitely not abandon them.
And since the Saint Master could heal even injuries to the origin, other injuries would naturally be even easier to handle.
It could even be said that as long as they were not dead, the Saint Master would be able to save them.
This effectively added an insurance policy to their cultivation paths. Such a blessing left them ecstatic and overjoyed.
Some elders who had lost hope of breaking through even began entertaining bold ideas.
Should they intentionally shatter their own origin, then ask the Saint Master to heal them, to see if they could break through like Elder Chen?
Ye Chen raised his hand in the void.
Elder Chen, who was bowing deeply, immediately stood upright.
Elder Chen’s breakthrough also surprised Ye Chen somewhat.
But after thinking it over, it made sense.
If it were ordinary healing methods, even if they could heal, the origin lost previously could not be recovered.
However, the Secret of the Person Character was different.
Each healing process was akin to a rebirth, directly restoring the injured to their pre-injury state.
Coupled with the countless heavenly materials and treasures Elder Chen consumed over the past two years while injured, a breakthrough was only natural.
Ye Chen scanned the other elders briefly, then pointed toward a few of them in the distance.
Surges of vital energy flowed into their foreheads.
These elders all had hidden injuries. If left unaddressed, these injuries would affect their future.
For cultivators, a lifetime involves countless battles. Injuries were inevitable. Although these injuries could heal over time, the accumulation of many leaves behind hidden damage.
As these injuries grow, they could affect combat abilities and cultivation, and even hinder breakthroughs to higher realms.
This was a common occurrence in the cultivation world.
The selected elders instantly felt all their internal discomforts vanish, their entire bodies feeling lighter.
One elder even sensed movement in his cultivation base, which had been stagnant for over a hundred years, and was filled with joy.
The few elders all bowed in unison.
“Thank you, Saint Master!”
Ye Chen’s expression remained indifferent.
He raised his hand and gently placed it on the fluffy head of his master.
Everyone froze at this scene.
Nangong Wan’s eyes widened in shock.
Being treated like this by her disciple in public?
When she came to her senses, her face flushed red, and her bright eyes carried a hint of anger as she glared at Ye Chen.
She raised her delicate hand, intending to brush Ye Chen’s hand away.
Ye Chen smiled as he explained, “Master, the soul injury you suffered upon returning to the Sacred Land still has lingering hidden damage. If it is not fully healed, it may cause your future breakthrough to the Great Advancement Realm to fail.”
Hearing this, Nangong Wan was startled and immediately lowered her hand.
Ye Chen’s rapid cultivation progress had already left her feeling disheartened.
After all, the gap in their levels had grown so wide that she feared she might not be able to accompany Ye Chen in the future. Thus, she had been diligently cultivating.
Upon hearing that a breakthrough might be hindered, she was deeply concerned.
Before long, Nangong Wan sensed the lingering hidden damage in her sea of consciousness
being enveloped by immortal fire.
When the fire receded, she could clearly feel that the hidden damage in her soul, previously undetectable, had been completely healed.
Her soul felt more vibrant, and the effects were immediately apparent.
Nangong Wan’s gaze softened instantly.
But she quickly realized something and glared at Ye Chen again.
“You tricked me!
“When you healed the other elders, you only pointed at them from a distance. There was no need to touch them!
“You just wanted to pat my head!”
Ye Chen, seeing his master’s expression, grinned brightly.
He had done it on purpose. Just like in those martial arts dramas he watched in his previous life. The protagonist would heal men by transmitting energy through their clothes.
But when healing women?
Sorry, clothing became an insulator for internal energy. Direct contact was necessary for it to work.
Ye Chen was merely following that same logic.
After placating his master with a few spirit stones, Ye Chen turned his gaze eastward toward the Eastern Sea.
Beyond the Eastern Sea lay the Mingwang Province.
With the current matters settled, it was time to head to the Mingwang Province and make an example of someone.
Once everything was sorted, the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator would officially enter the Mingwang Province market.
He could also begin focusing on developing new applications.
As for the features of these new apps, Ye Chen had already thought them through during his recent seclusion.
They would ensure the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator made a grand debut in the Mingwang Province, becoming an instant sensation!
