Chapter 12376 Burning the Sky
After a while, a deep voice came from the mountain:
"Lord of Samsara, I am so surprised that you came to visit me."
"Do you want a soul summoning order?"
When Ye Chen heard the voice, he thought it was Canglan's voice. The other party had seen through the secret and knew his intention, so he said, "That's right!"
Canglan chuckled and said, "If you want the Soul Summoning Order, you can kneel down."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Is it that simple?" Then he lifted the hem of his gown and knelt down.
When he knelt, all the voices in the mountains suddenly fell silent.
Then, a burly middle-aged man with a short beard came out, supported by the boy guarding the mountain.
When they saw Ye Chen kneeling on the ground, they were both shocked.
The middle-aged man had a broken arm, and it was obviously Canglan. When he saw Ye Chen kneeling, he said:
"You... you are the Lord of Samsara, how can you kneel just like that? Where is your dignity?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Everything should be done from the heart. If I feel that I can kneel, then I will kneel. I won't lose any meat, right?"
"Alright, I'm already kneeling, give me the Soul Summoning Order."
Canglan's face twitched. He never expected Ye Chen to not play by the rules. He didn't know what to say.
"Are you planning to go back on your word, Lord Canglan?"
The smile on Ye Chen's face faded and he stood up from the ground. The Emperor Sword slowly appeared in his palm, and a bronze luster floated on the sword.
When Canglan saw Ye Chen drawing his sword, his face suddenly changed. With one arm broken, his great power was incomplete. Even though he was very powerful at his peak, he couldn't say that he could suppress Ye Chen now.
"Well... I will naturally keep my promise."
Canglan coughed lightly, took out a black iron token, stared at it, stroked it lovingly, and said,
"This is the Soul Calling Order. I can give it to you, but even if I give it to you, you won't know how to activate it."
"I need you to promise me one more thing, and I can teach you how to activate it."
Ye Chen looked at his broken arm and said, "You don't want me to help you get revenge, do you?"
Canglan's eyes became sharp, and he said, "You are very smart, Lord of Samsara. You saw through the secret in one go."
"I used to be the guardian of the Rainbow Rain Temple, one of the four great heavenly gates, and my cultivation was in the late stage of the Abyss Realm."
"My senior brother and I are competing for the position of elder, a position that requires at least the Divine Illumination Realm to hold."
"In order to reach the Divine Illumination Realm, I auctioned off a Soul-Guiding Order and wanted to venture to the Gods' Burial Mounds to try my luck and find an opportunity."
"But, when I was about to activate the Soul Calling Order, my senior brother attacked me and cut off one of my arms!"
"Hmm? Your Rainbow Temple is one of the Heavenly Gates after all. Don't you have any rules at all?"
Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but speak.
He didn't expect that Canglan's arm was actually cut off by his senior brother.
Fellow disciples are killing each other, doesn't the Rainbow Rain Temple do anything about it?
Canglan said angrily: "At that time, my senior brother and I were competing for the position of elder. The hall master said that we could fight by any means, and the one who survived in the end would be the elder."
"I just didn't expect him to be so despicable! He took advantage of the moment when I activated the Soul Summoning Order and my soul was empty, and suddenly attacked me and cut off my arm!"
"If he fights honestly, I won't complain even if I lose!"
"But I can't bear to be ambushed and become a cripple like this!"
At the end of his speech, his facial features were distorted, and the joints of his remaining hand were cracking. Ye Chen was afraid that he might crush the Soul Calling Order.
Ye Chen thought, "Since you are fighting with all means, your brother's sneak attack on you is despicable, but it is not a big crime. You are too careless."
But he couldn't say this out loud.
Canglan continued: "I have one arm cut off, and my great path is incomplete, so I will be a useless person."
"My senior brother used his family connections to expel me from the Rainbow Rain Temple. I won't accept this. I won't accept this! Lord of Samsara, do you understand?"
Seeing that his eyes were about to spit fire, Ye Chen was silent for a moment and said, "I can understand, but if you ask me to avenge you, I'm afraid it won't be easy."
"Your senior brother must have become an elder of the Rainbow Rain Temple?"
Canglan grinned and said, "Yes, he got what he wanted and became an elder."
"You will avenge me. If you want to back down, my senior brother will kill you first!"
Ye Chen asked curiously, "What's going on? Your senior brother and I don't know each other, so how could he kill me?"
Canglan asked: "Do you know my senior brother's last name?"
Ye Chen asked: "What's your last name?"
Canglan said: "His surname is Jiang, his name is Jiang Tong, and he has a younger brother named Jiang Su."
When Ye Chen heard this, his head suddenly buzzed. He had never heard of Jiang Tong's name, but Jiang Su sounded like thunder.
"Is it the reincarnation of the Ghost Emperor, Jiang Su?" Ye Chen said.
Canglan said: "That's right! Jiang Su is my senior brother's younger brother. You will compete with him in a year."
"My senior brother, as your elder brother, will probably cause trouble for you this year and try to kill you first."
"Instead of this, you should take the initiative and kill my brother!"
"As long as you kill my senior brother, firstly you can avenge me, and secondly you can make Jiang Su lose his relatives and disturb his mind."
Ye Chen's face darkened and he said, "The Great Pluto's Dao heart is not so easy to be disturbed."
He didn't expect that Jiang Su had a brother, and he was Canglan's senior brother and enemy.
Canglan said: "In short, just promise me that you will avenge me and also do it for your own good."
"I will give you all the information related to Jiang Tong and the Jiang family, how about that?"
Hearing this, Ye Chen had a thousand thoughts in his mind, and said, "Let's see first, give me the Soul Summoning Order first."
The most urgent task is to go to the burial tomb of the gods and get the Shenyin Yimeng Lotus and the Emperor's Destiny Star. As for seeking revenge on Jiang Tong, that can be discussed later.
Canglan smiled and said, "I know you will agree, Lord of Samsara."
"As long as you take action, Jiang Tong will not live long."
"If we fight head-on, it will be difficult to kill him with your skills, but if you attack him from the dark, I don't believe he can escape!"
After saying that, Canglan gave Ye Chen the Soul-Guiding Order and also gave Ye Chen a blood-colored jade slip.
"Everything I know about Jiang Tong and the Jiang family is in here."
Ye Chen took the soul-calling order, was silent for a moment, and finally took the blood-colored jade slip.
When Canglan saw Ye Chen accept it, he was immediately delighted, thinking that revenge was possible, and said with a smile:
"It's very simple to activate the Soul Summoning Order. Just use your soul power to stimulate it. In two days at most, someone from the God Burial Clan will respond to you."
Ye Chen hummed and said, "Wait until I go to the Tomb of the Gods. If I can come out alive, I will consider avenging you."
After saying this, Ye Chen bid farewell to Canglan and returned to the Qingxiao Dragon Boat.
He looked at the blood-colored jade slip that Canglan gave him and could feel that it contained information about the Jiang family and Jiang Tong, and even some causal fluctuations of Jiang Su.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Chen did not open the jade slip, but put it away.
Now, he has a lot of karma going on, and he doesn't want to be involved in the Jiang family's affairs so soon. It is more important to solve the problem at hand.
"Senior Ren, Goddess of Beauty, wait for me."
"I will find the Divine Hidden Dream Lotus, light up the Heavenly Emperor's Star, and come back alive!"
Ye Chen murmured in his heart, sitting cross-legged, holding the soul-calling order in his hand, and pouring his soul energy into it.
hum!
The soul-calling order hummed and was activated at once, sending out a strong wave that radiated far into the starry sky.
Ye Chen waited patiently for two full days. Then, a ripple appeared in the starry sky outside the flying boat. The void split open, and a burly, muscular man broke through the air.
The sturdy man was more than three meters tall, his eyes were like copper bells, rolling around, looking left and right, his eyes finally fell on Ye Chen, seeing the Soul Summoning Order in his hand, he said:
"Boy, are you calling me?"
His voice was rough and carried a sense of authority.
Seeing his burly figure and extraordinary appearance, Ye Chen was moved and asked, "Are you from the Burial God Clan?"
The sturdy man said solemnly: "Yes, my name is Tianman."
"I never thought that there are still people in this world who have the Soul-Guiding Order."
"This person may even be the legendary Lord of Reincarnation."
He looked Ye Chen up and down, recognized Ye Chen's identity, and landed.
Ye Chen opened the protective barrier of the Qingxiao Dragon Boat and let Tianman land on the deck.
Click.
Tianman's burly figure was as heavy as a mountain. When he landed on the deck, the deck made a sound as if it could not bear the weight.
Ye Chen felt a powerful and blazing fluctuation of life energy and blood. Tianman's skin was bronze in color, with some blood marks on it, making him look quite wild and ferocious.
Tian Man said, "You want to go to the burial mound of the gods, right?"
Ye Chen said: "Yes."
Tian Man said: "You should know the dangers of the Gods' Burial Tomb. If you die in there, you can't blame me, the God Burial Clan. I am only responsible for leading the way and taking you across the Fallen God Blood Sea."
Ye Chen hummed: "I understand."
Tian Man grinned again, stretched out a finger, and said, "Also, you can only stay for a month at most. You can't stay too long."
"Otherwise, your presence may disturb some unspeakable terror, and my Burial God Clan will also be implicated."
"One month later, when you activate the Soul Calling Order again, I will appear and take you away."
Ye Chen thought that one month should be enough, so he nodded in agreement and put away the Soul Calling Order.
"Well, let's go."
"I came here through the air, and my energy consumption is quite large. I need to take a rest."
Tianman walked to the corner of the deck, sat cross-legged and meditated.
Ye Chen did not disturb him and drove the Qingxiao Dragon Boat to the burial site of the gods.
Within two days, he arrived at the outskirts of the gods' burial tomb, which was guarded by strong men from the four major heavenly gates and outsiders were strictly prohibited from entering.
"Don't disturb the Tianmen strongmen. I will take you in through the small path."
When Tian Man saw that they had arrived at the Tomb of the Gods, he brought Ye Chen down, but they did not take the main road. Instead, he found a secluded secret passage in a barren mountain and brought Ye Chen into the Tomb of the Gods through the secret path.
Crash.
Stepping into the territory of the burial mound of the gods, one could only hear the sound of the sea tide. Before Ye Chen's eyes was a scarlet sea of blood. A strange bloody mist was spreading in the air. The scarlet sea of blood was filled with wisps of brutal, cruel and terrifying murderous resentment.
That is the murderous resentment left over from the fighting among the gods!
Ye Chen's heart tightened. The memories of the killings and conflicts in the past echoed in his ears, and his faith in Taoism actually began to waver.
"Stand behind me!"
Tian Man shouted, stood in front of Ye Chen, and took the initiative to block the erosion of the blood sea's evil energy for him.
"This is a sea of blood where gods fell and many other gods shed their blood. The sea of blood is filled with murderous resentment. You outsiders cannot stop it." Tian Man said.
Ye Chen hummed and perked up. With Tianman blocking the way, the murderous aura of the sea of blood was blocked and his pressure was relieved a lot.
However, for the sake of caution, Ye Chen secretly activated the Hongmeng Green Lotus Platform. The green lotus fairy energy protected his mind, and he suddenly felt cool all over.
He then temporarily placed his soul in the green lotus.
"Let's go."
Tian Man led the way and strode into the sea of blood. He released a powerful aura from his body, resisting the evil spirit of the sea of blood and protecting Ye Chen.
Ye Chen followed him and stepped into the sea of blood.
The waves roared and surged, Ye Chen felt like a lone boat, his footsteps rising and falling on the sea. The sea of blood was filled with the breath of murderous death, and the murderous aura was much stronger than the boundless sea in Lone Star City.
Fortunately, with Tianman's protection, Ye Chen was not too badly affected.
"By the way, sir, I want to ask, what were the gods fighting for back then?"
Ye Chen was a little curious and asked Tian Man.
He really wanted to know what the gods were fighting for back then.
Tian Man's face darkened and he said, "Knowing too much about some things is not good for you."
Seeing his stern expression, Ye Chen stopped asking and turned to Queen Liuguang and asked, "Liuguang, what were you fighting for back then?"
Queen Liuguang was in the reincarnation hell, meditating and recovering. When she heard Ye Chen's question, she was stunned for a moment, looking a little secretive, and said:
"Master, I...I can't say it."
"That is a past I don't want to look back on. Now when I think about it, I... I feel like the Burning Heaven Tribulation is about to happen."
She suddenly covered her chest in pain, knelt on the ground, and looked like she was having a catastrophe.
The cause and effect related to the burial tombs of the gods seemed to be a demon in her heart, and she was unwilling to look back.
Seeing her intense reaction, Ye Chen was also surprised and said, "Okay, then don't tell me. You don't have to force yourself. Just have a good rest."
Queen Liuguang was very grateful when she saw that Ye Chen did not force her, and said, "Thank you for your tolerance, Master."
Ye Chen became more and more curious. Tianzu, Empress Liuguang, and Tianman were all unwilling to speak clearly.
The thing that the gods were fighting for back then must have been of great importance, and the cause and effect involved were extremely serious.
"What exactly are they fighting for?"
"If you don't tell me, I will deduce the cause and effect myself."
Ye Chen thought about it, and with an idea in mind, he stretched out his hand and rolled up a wisp of sea water in the Fallen God's Blood Sea.
The scarlet water of the sea lingered at his fingertips. Ye Chen closed his eyes slightly, trying to deduce and trace back the secrets of the past.
boom!
In an instant, he saw the scene of the great war among gods in ancient times.
He saw the Ancestor of Heaven, the Queen of Flowing Light, Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma and other great gods, all of whom were fighting each other, their eyes red, killing each other in chaos like crazy, and everyone was burning with red karmic fire, which was the calamity fire of Burning Heaven!
"It's the Burning Heaven Tribulation!"
"Burning Sky Fragments!"
"What the gods are fighting for is the Burning Sky Fragment!"
Ye Chen's brain buzzed and went blank. In an instant, he understood the cause and effect of the universe and saw everything.
It turns out that what the gods were fighting for was the Burning Sky Fragment!
The Burning Sky Fragment is one of the four supreme abyss fragments, along with the Gray Mist, the Filthy Earth, and the Mad Devouring.
This fragment is also the source of the Burning Sky Law and the root cause of the Burning Sky Catastrophe.
All the gods wanted to seize this fragment to completely resolve their own catastrophe and pain.
As long as they can control the Burning Heaven Fragments and master the Burning Heaven Laws, the catastrophe that has plagued them for endless years can be completely resolved!
"It turns out to be the Burning Sky Fragment!"
“No wonder Tianzu and Empress Liuguang are unwilling to look back. Mentioning the word ‘burning the sky’ may trigger their inner demons and cause a catastrophe explosion!”
Ye Chen's scalp tingled. Now that he had glimpsed these ancient secrets, he also felt itchy all over. The Burning Heaven Volcano dormant in his dantian was ready to erupt.
In a hurry, he quickly adjusted his breathing to harmonize with the aura of the catastrophe.
Rumble!
At this time, muffled thunder sounded in the Fallen God's Blood Sea. In the distant sea, storms were brewing, with howling winds and a strong fishy smell blowing in the face.
