Chapter 12276 Ancient (Three Chapters in One)

……

Half an hour later.

After Ye Chen finished expelling the poison, wisps of frosty cold air rose in the room, which were all the cold air expelled from Ling Qingya's body.

This cold air is enough to freeze to death the strong men in the Sun and Moon Realm!

Ye Chen used his internal energy to resist, running the Nine Yang Divine Illumination Sutra to resist the cold, and between his breaths, he took in a little bit of the cold air into his body, transforming it into the law of freezing to strengthen the Ice Sky Dragon spirit.

Ling Qingya's cold and poisonous aura is both a harm to Ye Chen and a special resource that can be collected to strengthen his magical powers.

After the poison was expelled, Ling Qingya snorted, sat up from the bed, straightened her dress, and her face was flushed. It was unknown whether it was because of shame or because the cold poison had been dispelled a little, making her qi and blood more rosy.

"Master, you should tell me what happened to the fire that day, right?"

Ye Chen let out a breath and asked.

This is what he cares about most. The Heart of Heavenly Fire is of great value. If Ye Chen can get it, he will be reborn.

Ling Qingya saw that Ye Chen's eyes were pure and free of distracting thoughts, but she herself was full of lustful thoughts. She couldn't help but feel ashamed. She coughed lightly and said seriously:
"This is a fire anomaly. It will be very troublesome for you to handle it alone. The Great Elder wants you to die."

"You must take good care of the amulet I gave you earlier."

"With that amulet, you can also call your senior sister Su Liyun's name, and she will come to help you."

"This time the weather is very bad, it will be difficult for you to deal with it alone, don't try to be brave, ask your sister for help when necessary."

Ye Chen said: "Yes, what about Senior Brother Jun Wuhen? Or, Master, can I call you?"

Ling Qingya said: "It's useless for you to call us. Your senior brother's cultivation and mine are both too high to enter that microscopic world."

Ye Chen was startled and asked, "What microscopic world?"

Ling Qingya frowned, and for a moment, she seemed to have no idea how to explain it, so she stretched out her hand, condensed a water curtain, and said, "Look for yourself."

In the water curtain, an ancient picture of heaven’s secrets emerged. That was the picture created by Jiucang Academy.

Back then, the Three Saints of Xiaoyao founded the Jiucang Academy. They established order, suppressed demons, and eradicated evil in a forbidden land where natural disasters were rampant and demons were rampant.

What Ling Qingya showed Ye Chen was the scene of that year. The thunder and storm were suppressed, the dry and cracked earth regained its vitality, the darkness dissipated, and flowers and green grass grew. A thriving world was soon established. This is the current Jiucang Realm.

But the picture shows that in the northern border of Jiucang Territory, there is a disaster world with rampant red, blood and tears. There is blood and tears falling from the sky without end, and there is no grass growing on the earth. There is only endless sadness and sorrow.

"what?"

Ye Chen was surprised when he saw this scene.

The Three Saints of Xiaoyao took great pains to suppress all kinds of disasters in the Jiucang Territory, but they were unable to resolve the world of blood and tears in the north.

In that world of blood and tears, red was raging, the wind was howling, and it was a doomsday scene, as if the gods were crying.

"Did you see anything unusual?"

"This world ravaged by blood is called the Forbidden Land of Blood and Tears. The Hellfire Cavern is here, and the Heart of the Skyfire is also here."

"To be precise, inside a red bean."

Ling Qingya looked at the ancient picture in the water curtain, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.

Ye Chen was stunned, confused for a moment, and asked: "Red beans?"

Ling Qingya said: "Yes, look carefully again."

Ye Chen looked closely and saw that the forbidden land of blood and tears was desolate and empty. Ling Qingya zoomed in and out of the picture until it was fixed on the center.

Ye Chen finally saw a small red bean floating in the air in the center of the Blood and Tears Forbidden Land.

That seems to be the root of all disasters!

Ling Qingya said: "Back then, the dean was unable to quell the disaster in the Blood and Tears Forbidden Land, and could not find the source of the disaster, so he sought help from the Qingtian Confucian School."

"He and the head of Qingtian Confucianism discussed the matter together and finally found the source of the disaster. It turned out to be a red bean."

"Love red beans."

Ye Chen was even more surprised and asked, "Acacia red beans?"

Ling Qingya looked at the red bean in the picture and said, "Yes, this red bean carries a feeling of lovesickness. I don't know which god it is. Lovesickness has become a disease, and resentment has become a disaster. It should be a goddess, because there is a lot of resentment in the boudoir."

"This resentment of the red beans of lovesickness cannot be suppressed or washed away. The red beans are rampant, turning thousands of miles of rivers and mountains into a forbidden land of blood and tears."

"But inside this acacia red bean, there is a different world. There are countless Dao crystal minerals, various medicinal herbs, and treasures left by the goddess. However, they are all covered by the dust of time."

Ye Chen was even more surprised when he heard Ling Qingya's words. He stared at it carefully. Looking at the red bean of lovesickness, his head suddenly started buzzing.

He actually saw that a tiny red acacia bean was like a huge red planet. The interior of the planet was desolate, with dry riverbeds crisscrossing and huge, nameless corpses half-buried in the dust.

"This is……"

Ye Chen was stunned. He had never seen such a scene before. There was actually a big world hidden inside a red bean.

"See? This acacia bean is like a star. In the microcosm, there exists a big world."

"One flower, one world, one leaf, one Bodhi."

Ling Qingya said in a faint voice.

Ye Chen felt his scalp tingling for some reason, and suddenly realized something, and said: "Master, you said that there are Dao crystal mines and natural treasures in this Red Bean World, why don't I see anything? I only see large areas of desolation."

Ling Qingya said: "I said, those things are covered by the dust of time. If you want to dig them out, you must first reverse the laws of time."

"But there is one thing that time cannot conceal."

Ye Chen said in a deep voice: "Heart of Heavenly Fire?"

Ling Qingya said: "That's right! The Heart of Heavenly Fire was created by Yuanzu. In the past, Emperor Yan Tianlie used this thing to burn and kill countless enemies."

"Jiutian fell, but the Heart of Heavenly Fire accidentally fell into the Red Bean World."

"This Red Bean World is covered by a divine restriction, but there are cracks in the restriction, and the Heart of Heavenly Fire fell into it along the cracks."

Ye Chen was surprised and asked, "How can it be such a coincidence?"

Ling Qingya said: "You are very smart, Ye Chen."

"It's really a bit strange. The Starry Sky Beyond is so huge, how come the Heart of Heavenly Fire just happened to fall into this tiny red bean?"

"However, don't delve too deeply into this. There may be a huge horror behind this that you cannot touch."

"Don't mention the words lovesickness, red beans, and forbidden land of blood and tears outside. Just say it's the Northern Territory."

Ye Chen said: "Why?"

Ling Qingya showed a fearful expression, even a little scared, and said: "Because, if you mention those words, it may trigger the secrets of heaven and disturb the goddess."

Ye Chen's heart tightened. It was the first time he saw Ling Qingya showing such a fearful expression, even with a little panic. He asked, "Who is that goddess?"

Who is the owner behind the Acacia Red Beans?

Ling Qingya shook her head gently and said, "I don't know. This seems to be a taboo. You should not mention related words, otherwise it will bring disaster upon yourself and I will not be able to protect you."

Ye Chen was silent, with endless waves in his heart.

Ling Qingya said: "The forbidden cracks in that Red Bean World are not big. People at the Sun and Moon Realm and below can easily enter. People at the Burning Lamp Realm can barely enter, but if you are at a higher realm, you can't enter."

"We, Jiucang Academy, and Qingtian Confucian School jointly manage that world. Both sides have sent people in to mine, collect herbs, and search for treasures, but we dare not send too many people. Usually, only a few dozen people enter at most."

"If there are too many people, it might disturb the goddess' peace and bring about extremely horrific consequences."

"The Heart of Heavenly Fire fell inside. It would be impossible for disciples at the Sun and Moon Realm and Burning Lamp Realm to dig it out. If they get close, they will be burned to ashes."

"So, up to now, the Heart of Skyfire is still buried in the Red Bean World, in a place called the Flame Prison Cave."

"The so-called Heavenly Fire Anomaly is when the energy of the Heavenly Fire Heart suddenly explodes, forming a blazing fire that sweeps across and burns everything."

"This sky fire is very strange, and the time of its outbreak is not fixed. This time it broke out suddenly, and the students of our academy over there were trapped by the sky fire and unable to escape."

"This has happened before. Usually, we have to rely on our own luck. The academy won't send anyone to rescue us because it's impossible. At most, they will just give us a symbolic mission commission."

"The Great Elder asked you to save people, which clearly meant he wanted you to die."

After listening to Ling Qingya's words, Ye Chen finally understood the whole story.

It turns out that the heart of the Heavenly Fire is not in the macroscopic world, but in the microscopic world, in a red acacia bean.

This red bean of lovesickness is very mysterious. No one knows which goddess left it behind. It carries a terrible resentment. However, there are many treasures and rich resources in the red bean world, so Qingtian Confucianism and Jiucang Academy have sent people to mine it.

Although the Red Bean World is in the territory of Jiucang Academy, Qingtian Confucianism also contributed to the investigation of the source of the disaster when the red bean was found, so the resources in the Red Bean World are jointly mined by the two major academies.

In the Red Bean World, the most valuable resource is undoubtedly the Heart of Skyfire. If it can be dug out, and a building similar to the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Prison Tower is built like the Heart of Thundergod, it will be enough to benefit the world forever.

Unfortunately, due to the special nature of the Red Bean World, only people below the Burning Lamp Realm and the Sun and Moon Realm can enter. It is undoubtedly a fantasy to rely on people of this level to dig out the Heart of the Heavenly Fire.

This time the natural fire anomaly was caused by the energy explosion of the Heart of Heavenly Fire.

Ye Chen pondered for a while and said, "I have already promised the Great Elder that I will go and deal with this matter. No matter how dangerous it is, I will go there."

Ling Qingya nodded and said, "I know. I'll try to arrange it for you. You can leave in three days."

Ye Chen said: "Okay, thank you Master."

After the discussion was finalized, Ye Chen came out of the room. A maid had already prepared a place for him to live, so he settled down in the courtyard.

In the Samsara Cemetery, Emperor Yan Tianlie was very emotional and said, "I never thought that the Heart of Heavenly Fire would actually fall into a red bean? This is really strange. I couldn't catch any clues beforehand!"

Emperor Yan Tianlie could probably figure out that the Heart of Heavenly Fire was at the border of Jiucang Territory, but he never imagined that the so-called border was actually a forbidden land of blood and tears, where a red bean of lovesickness had been floating in the air for eternity, emitting an endless aura of sorrow and resentment.

"That place is very weird."

Ye Chen murmured.

Emperor Yan Tianlie shook his head and said, "No matter what, Tomb Master, I will protect you, and we will go and give it a try!"

Ye Chen said: "Okay!"

……

For the next three days, Ling Qingya made arrangements for Ye Chen, while Ye Chen helped her detoxify.

Ye Chen’s current identity is a registered disciple at Shuilan Peak, not yet a formal true disciple.

Therefore, he is not eligible to receive many of the true benefits of the academy.

However, Ye Chen doesn’t care about ordinary benefits, he only wants the Heart of Heavenly Fire!
During these three days, Ye Chen also learned more about the rules of Jiucang Academy.

The nine magic pools and the Nine Heavenly Divine Weapons at the foot of Cangxuan Mountain can be tried to be acquired at any time by any disciple, whether they are outer court disciples, inner court disciples, or true disciples.

However, Ye Chen did not go again.

His Emperor Sword was forged from the Flame Sky Spear and the Blue Sky Hook. The sword had not reached its limit, but he had.

If another Nine Heavens Divine Weapon is melted in, the sharpness of the Heavenly Emperor's Sword will increase even more, and Ye Chen will not be able to control it and will be counterattacked.

If he wants to forge the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon again, he must first improve his cultivation level!
For him, who is only at the high level of Dao Lord, wielding the current Heavenly Emperor Sword is already his limit.

When the three days were up, Ling Qingya arranged for Elder Mo to take Ye Chen to the Forbidden Land of Blood and Tears.

This Elder Mo was the elder who was in charge of the assessment when Ye Chen first joined the sect.

Surprisingly, Zhang Zhidong was also accompanying them.

"Brother Zhang, are you going to the North with me too? This is a life-threatening mission."

Ye Chen asked while sitting on the flying boat heading to the Forbidden Land of Blood and Tears.

He did not mention names such as the Forbidden Land of Blood and Tears and Acacia Red Beans, but only said it was the Northern Territory.

Because these names are taboo. If they are mentioned, it is likely to alarm the goddess behind Xiangsi Hongdou.

Moreover, the acacia red beans themselves carry a strong sense of sorrow and resentment. If you are contaminated by them, you may suffer the backlash of resentment.

Zhang Zhidong scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Fairy Qingya asked me to go with you. She said that when I was in Qingtian Confucian Sect, I had performed a mission in that small world. She asked me to lead the way for you."

He also didn't dare to mention the relevant words and only said it was a small world.

Ye Chen said "oh" and understood.

It turned out that Zhang Zhidong had performed missions in the Red Bean World before and was familiar with the area, so he could serve as Ye Chen's guide.

But judging from his appearance, he was obviously unwilling to do so. After all, the Forbidden Land of Blood and Tears, the Red Bean World, was too dangerous.

Moreover, there are people from Qingtian Confucianism over there. Zhang Zhidong has already left Qingtian Confucianism, and it would be awkward for him to meet his old friends again.

However, since Ling Qingya had given the order, he obviously could not refuse and could only follow Ye Chen.

The flying boat flew under the starry sky for about a day, and it reached the northern border of the Jiucang Territory. Ye Chen finally saw the appearance of the Forbidden Land of Blood and Tears.

In front of him was a world ravaged by red. The red rain was pouring down endlessly. The sound of the wind and the rain carried an eternal resentment. The flying boat hadn't really entered that area yet, but just getting close, Ye Chen felt a sense of desolation.

This was an extremely strange scene. The sky outside was a starry sky with bright and shining stars, but in the center of the starry sky, there seemed to be a hole, and from that hole, endless red raindrops kept falling for eternity.

The world with rampant red flowers, red rain and howling winds is like an isolated doomsday. There is no grass growing on the earth, no trace of life, only endless desolation.

The rain falls to the ground and then evaporates back into the sky in an endless cycle. The red mist formed by the evaporation of the red rain lingers between the sky and the earth in front, hazy, sad and lonely. The red rain is like the blood and tears of gods.

Elder Mo flew to the edge of the Blood and Tears Forbidden Land and did not dare to fly in again. He looked at the world in front of him where the red rain was drifting, and nervously wiped his sweat and said to Ye Chen:
"Lord of Samsara, I can only take you here."

"People with higher cultivation levels are more likely to be distorted by the resentment here because of their sensitive minds. I dare not go in, otherwise my Tao heart will definitely be distorted."

"After you go in, you must head to the central area as quickly as possible and enter the small world to avoid being exposed to the rain for too long."

"This red rain is the blood and tears of the gods. You must be careful."

Elder Mo looked at the endless torrential red rain and sighed.

"Okay, thank you Elder Mo."

Ye Chen bowed to Elder Mo, then took Zhang Zhidong off the flying boat, took out the amulet given by Ling Qingya, and stepped into the Forbidden Land of Blood and Tears.

This amulet is also a medium. As long as Ye Chen sends a message, he can call upon Senior Sister Su Liyun to come and seek her help.

However, Ye Chen and that senior sister had never met before, and he really didn't want to owe her a favor, so he wouldn't call anyone until the last minute.
