Chapter 12243 Starry Sky (3 chapters in 1)
Chapter 12243 Starry Sky (Three Chapters in One)
Ye Chen was silent for a moment. He didn't want to abandon Mo Yu, so he said to Elder Xing Yin, "Old Senior, could you please make an exception and let him ascend with us?"
"I guarantee with my identity as the Lord of Reincarnation that I will first ask you to grant me a Sun Key. When I reach the other side of the starry sky in the future, I will gather enough Dao Crystals to repay you as soon as possible."
Elder Xingyin shook his head and said, "It's not about the Sun Key, it's... this young friend's identity is really special, I don't want to..."
He looked at Mo Yu, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, as if he was in many difficulties.
Ye Chen said: "But please be flexible, senior. I think my friend is not a bad person, and I want to help him."
Elder Xingyin said: "The Lord of Samsara is a gentleman with a noble character. I admire him, but your friend..."
Having said this, he hesitated again. During the stalemate, he suddenly heard a sharp and clear cry coming from the golden roc bird totem engraved on the gate of Heaven in the sky, which resounded through the clouds.
When old man Xingyin heard the cry, his face changed instantly and he became dazed.
Seeing this, Zi Lan hurriedly asked, "Teacher, is it the Golden Bird Lord who sent any oracle?"
The two star judges were also looking at the portal in the sky in a bit of surprise. The cry just now was obviously the oracle voice of the golden bird. In the Golden City, the golden bird would only send down oracles in extremely urgent and dangerous moments.
But now that time is peaceful, the golden bird actually sent down its divine voice, which is really incredible.
Elder Xingyin looked a little absent-minded, and said blankly:
"Yes... Mr. Golden Bird, he... he is old..."
Zi Lan asked anxiously, "What did Master Golden Bird say?"
Elder Xingyin took a deep breath and asked Ye Chen, "Lord of Samsara, are you acquainted with Lord Golden Bird?"
Ye Chen was puzzled and confused, and said: "No, it was only after I came here that I knew about the existence of the Golden Bird Master."
Elder Xingyin gave a bitter smile and said, "Master Golden Bird just told me to follow your instructions."
Ye Chen asked curiously: "Is there such a thing?"
Elder Xingyin said, "Lord of the Wheel of Reincarnation, my life was saved by Lord Golden Bird. I will obey any oracle he gives. If you have any instructions, just speak up."
Ye Chen saw that old man Xingyin had a bitter face and it was obvious that he was very helpless inside.
Ye Chen was very curious in his heart. Who on earth was this Lord Golden Bird? He actually gave him such great authority that he could order Old Man Xingyin around at will. This was an enormous power.
Old Man Xingyin is the lord of the Golden City and the manager of the Gate of Heaven. Ye Chen can command him, which is equivalent to making him the master of this world.
Ye Chen did not dare to abuse this great power. Various thoughts flashed through his mind and he glanced at Mo Yu.
Mo Yu hurriedly said: "Brother Cangtian, I want to go back to the other side of the starry sky!"
Ye Chen nodded, said nothing, and just looked at Old Man Xingyin.
Elder Xingyin smiled bitterly and said, "Lord of Samsara, if you really want to take your friend to ascend, I will allow you to pass. However, your friend has a huge karma involved. If he ascends, he will be shot to death within half a day, and you may also be implicated."
Ye Chen was very curious and asked, "What exactly is the cause and effect? Please tell me clearly, senior."
Mo Yu also said anxiously: "Please tell me the secrets of my past, old senior. I will be grateful to you!"
Elder Xingyin pinched his fingers, as if to deduce and confirm, then he sighed and said to Mo Yu: "If the destiny I glimpsed is correct, your father is called Haotianyun, and your mother is called Youtianxue. They are both from the Jiutian family."
Mo Yu said: "Well, the Jiutian Family is the Jiutian Family, so what taboos can't be said?"
He had already learned from Ye Chen that he might be a descendant of the Jiutian family, and the "Jiu Tian Ming Huang Sutra" engraved in his mind was the Jiu Tian family's most supreme magic skill.
Elder Xingyin sighed, "Jiutian is dead, and a new sky should be established. The Jiutian family fell and perished a long, long time ago, and the clan members wandered and fled everywhere."
"When the Jiutian family was destroyed, your parents were engaged, but they had not yet married. When the nest was destroyed, they fled separately. Your father fled to the Fate Judgment Hall, while your mother fled to the Heavenly Destiny Alliance."
Hearing this, Ye Chen exclaimed, "Ah!" and had a bad feeling.
Mo Yu was at a loss as to what was going on and asked, "Brother Cangtian, what's wrong?"
Ye Chen remained silent. Zi Lan said, "The Fate Judgment Hall and the Heavenly Destiny Alliance both believe in the great way of destiny of the Pansi Patriarch, but they have different beliefs and are at odds with each other."
"The Fate Judgement Hall advocates that man can conquer nature and must go against the will of heaven, while the Heavenly Destiny Alliance advocates following the will of heaven and not going against the will of heaven."
"Both groups viewed each other as heretics and fought each other constantly. In their eyes, heretics were more hateful than pagans and unbelievers."
Zi Lan looked at Elder Xing Yin again and said, "Teacher, you used to be the elder of the Fate Judgement Hall, right?"
Elder Xingyin smiled bitterly again and said, "Yes, friend Mo Yu's past has long been obliterated and turned into a blank. I can easily see his past fate because I actually have quite a relationship with his father."
Mo Yu said: "Ah, old senior, do you know my father?"
Elder Xingyin nodded and said, "Yes, your father Hao Tianyun is the guardian of my Fate Judgment Hall. He is very powerful, talented and intelligent, and is very much favored by the Hall Master. If that incident had not happened, he would have been the next Hall Master."
Mo Yu was also a little uneasy and asked, "What happened?"
Elder Xingyin said bitterly, "What a sin! What a sin! Your father tried so hard to find your mother, but he never expected that your mother would be in the enemy Tianyun Divine Alliance camp."
"They each serve their own master. If they were to marry, it would be against the will of heaven. The Destiny Judgement Hall and the Heavenly Fortune Alliance do not allow their own disciples to marry the enemy's disciples. Once discovered, there will be a great punishment."
Mo Yu was stunned and said, "But, my parents were already engaged before they joined your sect. How can you be so unreasonable..."
Elder Xingyin said, "How can there be so many principles in this world? When you are in the martial arts world, you have no choice. Your parents have received favors from their respective sects. After the demise of the Jiutian family, countless people died. They were able to survive because of the protection of their respective sects. How could they betray such a deep favor?"
Mo Yu was sad and asked, "What happened next?"
Elder Xingyin said, "Later, your parents couldn't break their love for each other, and secretly got married without telling their respective sect leaders. They gave birth to you, and the secret was revealed as soon as you were born."
"They knew that a disaster was imminent, so they banished you to the Chaos Soul Forbidden Land. You have the Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture engraved in your brain. With this skill, you are able to protect yourself in the Chaos Soul Forbidden Land. As long as you don't go to a forbidden place like the Rotten Bone Forest, you will be fine."
"After your parents revealed the secret, they were cruelly punished. You are also considered a bad offspring. The Destiny Judgement Hall and the Heavenly Fortune Alliance are both hunting you down. If you return to the other side of the starry sky, you will be shot to death by both groups immediately!"
Mo Yu was stunned and silent. He never thought that he had such a complicated past.
Ye Chen frowned. After listening to what old man Xingyin said, he got a clue and made his own divination. As expected, he also captured a great danger.
If he brings Mo Yu back to the other side of the starry sky, he will definitely be in trouble.
After a long silence, Mo Yu asked again: "My parents are dead?"
Elder Xingyin shook his head and said, "I don't know. After your parents' secret was exposed, the Fate Judgment Hall and the Heavenly Fortune Divine Alliance were in turmoil and in chaos. I have a friendship with your father, and I couldn't bear to see him being tortured so badly. So I said that our Fate Judgment Hall and the Heavenly Fortune Divine Alliance didn't have to fight so fiercely."
"A gentleman changes with the situation. Whether to go against or follow the will of heaven depends on the actual situation. If you only stick to one belief, your path will be narrowed and you will be obsessed."
"This is an idea I had a long time ago. I couldn't help but bring it up at the time. As a result, everyone in the sect immediately regarded me as a heretic and a traitor. They said I was a fence-sitter."
"My beliefs and views were not tolerated by the sect. When the Heavenly Destiny Alliance heard about it, they also regarded me as a heretic. I was filled with endless fear and knew that I had caused a huge disaster, even more serious than what your parents had caused. So I fled from the sect with my family."
Ye Chen said: "Go against the will of heaven and follow the will of heaven, change according to the situation, this is a very good idea, old senior, why can't those two factions tolerate you?"
Elder Xingyin smiled bitterly and said, "They only cling to one belief and cannot tolerate different opinions. They all think that their own path is the greatest, most glorious, and most correct path in the world, and that other beliefs are heresy."
"In fact, I can feel that there are many people in the sect who agree with my ideas, but they dare not express them, let alone agree with them, for fear of being labeled as heretics. In the extremely high-pressure and distorted environment, they no longer dare to reveal their thoughts."
"I was so scared that my whole family fled. But without the protection of our sect, my family became like dogs that have lost their homes. I don't know how much suffering we endured. I ended up getting separated from my family. Fortunately, Master Golden Bird took us in. Otherwise, I would have died."
"Later, Mr. Golden Bird told me that my family of more than 130 people, except for a little granddaughter, had all died."
Speaking of this, old man Xingyin was very sad, and his turbid old eyes were filled with tears.
Ye Chen, Mo Yu, and Zi Lan were all silent. Zi Lan called out, "Teacher."
Elder Xingyin said bitterly, "Teacher, it's okay. The other side of the starry sky is full of dangers. There is almost no way for independent cultivators to survive. They must join a sect and seek shelter in order to have a chance of survival."
"The day my family escaped from the Fate Judgement Hall, I knew that my family would die. There was no need for the sect to hunt me down. The fierce monsters roaming everywhere on the other side of the starry sky, the various abyss monsters, and the various rioting natural disasters were enough to kill us."
"However, dying outside is better than enduring endless torture and punishment from the sect and then dying. The end is death anyway, and dying more easily is also a relief."
Ye Chen's heart was touched. After listening to what old man Xingyin said, he felt that the other side of the starry sky seemed to be much more dangerous than he had imagined.
Elder Xingyin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have explained clearly the causes and consequences of the past. Lord of Samsara, do you still want to take friend Mo Yu to ascend?"
Ye Chen was silent, looking at Mo Yu with a complicated expression.
Mo Yu is an "evil seed" who is hated by the Palace of Destiny and the Divine Alliance of Heaven, and is even wanted for hunting. If he takes Mo Yu to ascend, he will surely cause endless troubles.
Mo Yu took a deep breath and said, "Brother Cangtian, I want to go back to the other side of the starry sky. Even if I die, I want to see my parents!"
"But I won't get you into trouble!"
"You and Miss Zilan ascend first, and I will ascend on my own later. Anyway, I will not burden you."
He also knew that he was involved in a huge cause and effect incident and really didn't want to implicate Ye Chen.
Ye Chen sighed: "Mo Yu, I think it's good for you to stay here, why ..."
Mo Yu shook his head and said, "No, I want to go back, even if I die, I will never regret it!"
Ye Chen looked at his determined eyes and knew that some things were more important than life and death, so he said to Elder Xingyin:
"Senior, how about Zi Lan and I ascend first, and you arrange for Mo Yu to ascend later?"
Elder Xingyin was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."
After a pause, he said to Mo Yu: "Friend Mo Yu, if you insist on ascending, you will definitely be hunted down by the two major sects. Do you really have no regrets? Would you rather lose your life than regret it?"
Mo Yu said: "No regrets!"
How could he live here in humiliation when his parents didn't know whether they were alive or dead because of him?
Elder Xingyin was stunned for a moment, and murmured, "You and your father are very similar. Alas, what a sin, what a sin."
He sighed, and said to Ye Chen, "Lord of Samsara, I will open the gate to heaven, and you and Zi Lan will ascend. When you reach the Wangchuan River, remember to soak for only one stick of incense. After one stick of incense, you must go ashore, otherwise your laws will be washed away and you will become a fish, which will be miserable."
Ye Chen said, "I know, I will be careful." Holding Zi Lan's hand.
Elder Xingyin nodded and made a gesture. There was a loud rumbling sound, and the gate of heaven in the sky slowly opened backwards, revealing a deep purple-black chaos inside, which was slowly turning like a whirlpool, but no one knew what was behind the chaos.
Ye Chen held Zi Lan's hand tightly and said goodbye to Elder Xing Yin and Mo Yu: "Goodbye, we'll go first!"
After saying that, Ye Chen took Zi Lan and flew up, ready to enter the Gate of Heaven.
Elder Xingyin suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!"
Ye Chen turned around after hearing the voice and asked, "When do you have time, senior?"
Elder Xingyin hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Lord of Samsara, I have an unwelcome request."
Ye Chen said: "Senior, please feel free to speak."
Elder Xingyin said, "I have a little granddaughter, her name is Xing Xuefu. When my whole family was expelled from the Palace of Destiny, she was the only one who survived except me."
"I don't know how she is doing now, and Lord Golden Bird didn't tell me. I hope you can help me find out about her. If she is well, please let me know."
"The headquarters of my gold auction house is on the other side of the starry sky, and its branches are all over the starry sky. You can go to any auction house and send a letter to me."
The Golden Auction House is a well-known faction on the other side of the starry sky, with branches all over the world. The identity of the master Golden Bird behind it is extremely mysterious. The auction house in the Chaos Soul Realm is just a branch.
There was sadness in his eyes. When his whole family fled, there were more than 130 people in his family, but only his little granddaughter survived. He wanted to know whether his little granddaughter was safe.
Ye Chen said: "Xing Xuefu...Okay, senior, I'll remember it, I'll ask for you."
Elder Xingyin was very grateful and said, "Thank you very much."
With trembling hands, he took out a blood-colored crystal stone from his bosom, which was as big as a heart, and said,
"Lord of the Wheel of Reincarnation, this Dao Crystal is for you. This Dao Crystal is engraved with one of the three secret divine arts of the Fate Judgment Hall, called 'Heavenly Fate Sacred Judgment Technique', which can see through and judge the fate of all living beings. It is a very low-grade skill. You and fate are predestined, and you are even the descendant of the Pansi Patriarch, your Dao Companion. It would be great if I could pass on this 'Heavenly Fate Sacred Judgment Technique' to you."
"Back then, I was expelled from the Fate Judgement Hall and secretly brought this magical skill out. I was already in trouble, and now I have committed an unforgivable sin."
"You can bring this magical skill back to the Judgment Hall, and perhaps it can atone for my sins a little."
"The Judgment Hall and the Heavenly Destiny Alliance are originally from the same roots. Now they are fighting each other like this. I only hope that one day in the future, the descendant of the Pansi Patriarch, the new goddess of destiny, will ascend to heaven and ease the grievances between the two factions."
Ye Chen was silent for a moment, hummed, and took the blood-colored Taoist crystal as big as a heart. He felt that the Taoist crystal was warm and seemed different from ordinary Taoist crystals. The crystal was engraved with ancient runes, which were the laws and tracks of the Tao.
The ultimate level of skills cannot be recorded in words, as they are all interwoven with laws and tracks. There are dozens of laws in this world, including space, time, fate, cause and effect, reincarnation, the five elements, arithmetic, devouring, destruction, etc. Seven notes can form an ever-changing piece of music. With dozens of laws interwoven, the skills that can be evolved are simply endless.
The martial arts engraved on the blood-colored Taoist crystal is none other than "The Art of Divine Judgement of Heaven's Fate", which is of the lower extreme grade. Although it cannot be compared with the Jiutian Family's top-level "Nine Heavens Minghuang Sutra", it is also a very powerful, profound and mysterious martial arts.
Elder Xingyin smiled and handed the blood-colored Dao Crystal to Ye Chen. He felt as if he had put down a big stone and felt much more relaxed. He said, "Lord of Samsara, if my little granddaughter is in any danger, I hope you can lend a helping hand within your ability. I will be very grateful."
Ye Chen said: "Okay, senior, I know, then I'll take my leave."
Zi Lan said: "Teacher, let's go."
Elder Xingyin and Mo Yu both nodded, and watched Ye Chen and Zi Lan enter the Gate of Heaven hand in hand.
After the two entered, the Gate of Heaven slammed shut, and the golden roc totem engraved on the gate cried out to the sky again.
……
Ye Chen and Zi Lan entered the Gate of Heaven and passed through the vortex of chaos.
The two of them clasped their hands together, and each held a Sun Key in the other hand for self-defense. To be cautious, Ye Chen also released his own Imperial Light to protect himself and Zi Lan.
After passing through the chaotic vortex, Ye Chen felt only darkness in front of his eyes and could not see anything. A violent space storm vortex was stirring, and he and Zi Lan both felt dizzy.
Fortunately, the Sun Key in the hands of the two people provided a ray of divine light to protect the two people, and Ye Chen's own body-protecting imperial light was also very deep, so he did not suffer any harm.
After walking in the darkness for an unknown amount of time, Ye Chen suddenly felt himself falling into the water with a splash. His whole body was wet and cold, and he saw light in his eyes.
He and Zi Lan had been teleported to a river. Looking up, they could see the brilliant starry sky across the river. The starry sky was pure and vast, and untainted by the world. It was the starry sky on the other side.
