Chapter 12449: Non-interference in cause and effect

Ye Chen hummed, then came to his senses and said, "Ah, I forgot that you are different from me. These dark and evil death auras are probably more terrifying to you than poison."

Yan Xueci said: "I'm fine, I can absorb it, but others can't. It turns out you can do it too."

After a pause, Yan Xueci turned his gaze and said, "I know there is a spring called Jiuquan Ruoshui, but that spring is shrouded in death energy, and ordinary people can't get close to it at all."

"Since you are not afraid of death, how about we join forces to seize the spring?"

"There are many ghosts lurking in that spring. I can't handle them all by myself."

Ye Chen heard her suggestion and said, "The spring of Nine Springs Weak Water? What exactly is this Nine Springs Weak Water?"

Ye Chen was also very curious about the origin of the Nine Springs Weak Water. It actually had a brainwashing effect and could erase a person's memory and consciousness, turning them into a puppet.

Yan Xueci said: "The Nine Springs Weak Water is the source energy of the Skeleton Ancestor. The Skeleton Ancestor is the Primordial Source God. The seven Primordial Source Gods all have a sacred and bright aura in their bodies. That is the great power of the Primordial."

"These bright energy sources, when gathered together, can form a special source, which has a similar effect to the Heavenly Light Divine Water. It has an extremely strong purifying effect and can even wash away a person's brain memory, turning a person into a puppet."

"Using the Nine Springs Weak Water, we can even transform some humanoid ghosts into combat puppets."

Ye Chen understood, and thinking of how he was also fed Nine Springs Weak Water a few days ago, he said:

"Even if it's a warrior who fell from outside, you will wash him into a puppet, right?"

Yan Xueci sighed and said, "Yes, survival is not an easy thing, especially in the Land of Rotten Bones. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been sucked dry by the Spirit Gathering Array of the White Bone Island. Without the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, even growing crops is difficult."

"There are still a lot of demons and monsters waiting outside, and if you don't find a way to improve your strength, you will die."

The Ghost Cave Corpse Sea is divided into three areas. The most core area is the huge island suspended in the center of the ocean, which is the Ghost Cave Bone Island.

Ye Chen then realized that the spiritual energy in the Rotten Bone Land was exhausted because it was sucked dry by the White Bone Island.

"When I fell down, I was almost washed into an idiot by the Nine Springs Weak Water, but fortunately the Green Hair Fairy saved me."

Yan Xueci spoke in a gloomy tone, and then said with some emotion,

"No, if I was turned into an idiot by then, it might be a good thing."

"At least, there won't be any more pain later."

Having said this, she gently covered her chest with her hands, her face full of melancholy.

"Is it the Burning Heaven Tribulation?"

Ye Chen roughly figured out that Yan Xueci inherited the authority of the Green-haired Fairy, but behind the divine power was the Burning Heaven Catastrophe.

This disaster is not something that ordinary people can endure.

Yan Xueci remained silent, her eyes slightly red, obviously what Ye Chen said hit the mark.

Suffering from the Burning Heaven Catastrophe is so painful that it is simply worse than death. For ordinary people, it is better to become a puppet.

Yan Xueci took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said:
"Okay, let's not talk about this."

"Lord of the Wheel of Reincarnation, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dries up, the springs in the Land of Rotten Bones are becoming fewer and fewer. As far as I know, there is only one spring left, the Nine Springs Weak Water."

"The Nine Springs Weak Water is the only source of spiritual energy and is very important to the tribe. How about you accompany me to seize the spring?"

She made the request, and Ye Chen listened, but he pondered and considered, and did not agree easily.

Because, the exhaustion of spiritual energy in heaven and earth and the springs were all caused by Yan Xueci and the Wangu Zhenren tribe, and had nothing to do with Ye Chen.

The main purpose of Ye Chen's trip was to seek opportunities to strengthen his life lamp and even sharpen the sword that could break the world and melt the sky.

But this Nine Springs Weak Water is obviously of no use to Ye Chen. It is just a source of spiritual energy and is not as good as his Heavenly Light Divine Water.

When Yan Xueci saw Ye Chen's hesitation, he knew that Ye Chen would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit, so he sighed:
"Lord of Samsara, if you are willing to lend me a helping hand, I have a magical item that I'm sure you will be very interested in."

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and asked, "What divine object?"

Yan Xueci slowly took out a bead from his arms and said, "The Cold Winter Bead, a treasure inherited from my family."

Ye Chen looked at the bead in Yan Xueci's hand. The bead was snow-white all over and contained an extremely cold feeling, but there were wisps of eerie ghostly aura lingering on the surface.

Surrounded by ghostly aura, the whole bead looked even more eerie and terrifying.

Looking at this cold winter bead, Ye Chen was inexplicably touched. He felt that the spiritual energy in his dantian resonated with it. It was the resonance of the "Lingxiao Qi Transformation Sutra"!

Lingxiao Huaqi Sutra, the secret method of the Rainbow Rain Temple among the Four Heavenly Gates, is the method of the Changsheng Emperor and contains the mysteries of the twenty-four solar terms.

Ye Chen had already comprehended the "Lingxiao Huaqi Sutra" and had a good grasp of the secrets of the twenty-four solar terms. However, although he had many martial arts skills, he rarely used them in battle.

Seeing this cold winter bead at this time, Ye Chen felt that his spiritual energy actually resonated with it, which was really rare.

"This is... a magic weapon from the Rainbow Rain Temple? Are you from the Rainbow Rain Temple?"

Ye Chen immediately became alert.

Yan Xueci said, "Don't be too nervous. My family is indeed in the Rainbow World, but I am trapped here. The cause and effect of the outside world is completely cut off."

"Moreover, this Winter Pearl has been corroded by the ghost energy of the abyss. Even I cannot use it."

"But you are different, Lord of Samsara. You have great magical powers. You should have a way to activate this bead, right?"

As he spoke, Yan Xueci handed the Winter Pearl to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was silent for a moment, and finally took the Winter Pearl.

Holding the Winter Bead in his hand, he could clearly feel the coldness of the bead. It contained the mysteries of the solar terms such as the Beginning of Winter, Light Snow, Heavy Snow, Winter Solstice, Lesser Cold, Greater Cold, etc., as well as the energy of the ghost energy of the abyss.

If this bead could be activated, the power it would unleash would surely be extraordinary.

"This pearl of yours is much more precious than the Nine Springs Weak Water."

Ye Chen looked at the Winter Pearl and saw its extraordinaryness. In terms of value, this pearl was more precious than the Nine Springs Weak Water!

The Nine Springs Weak Water is formed from the Skeleton Ancestor's source energy. Having only one or two springs is useless. Unless there is source energy as vast as the ocean, it can truly exert its power.

Yan Xueci said helplessly: "No matter how precious it is, it is useless. This bead has been contaminated by the ghost energy of the abyss. Even if it is not contaminated, it requires a very high level of cultivation to activate the Cold Winter Bead. You must be proficient in the Lingxiao Qi Transformation Sutra."

"You have great magical powers, maybe you have other ways to activate this bead."

The Winter Pearl is closely related to the Rainbow Rain Temple. To activate this pearl, one must use the skills in the Rainbow Rain Temple. If one does not master the corresponding skills, it will be useless even if outsiders get this pearl.

But Yan Xueci thought that Ye Chen had great powers and might have other ways.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "No need, I know all the methods of the Lingxiao Huaqi Sutra."

"Ah?" Yan Xueci was stunned for a moment, thinking that Ye Chen was joking.

"Okay, where is the spring you mentioned? I'll go with you."

Ye Chen accepted the cold winter bead and said with a smile.

"It's less than a hundred miles away from the tribe. I'll prepare today, and we'll set off in the early evening tomorrow." Yan Xueci said.

"it is good."

Ye Chen agreed, and after the discussion was completed, the two went back to their rooms.

Ye Chen refined the Winter Pearl unexpectedly smoothly. Both the aura of the winter season and the ghost energy of the abyss resonated with him, as if they were in perfect harmony.

Unfortunately, after refining the Winter Pearl, Ye Chen's life lamp, although stronger, still failed to illuminate the brain.

Now his life lamp was shining brightly, but it just couldn't illuminate his brain. It was lacking an opportunity.

"There is still one battle left. Tomorrow we will go and seize the Nine Springs Weak Water Spring. Give me a fight and I will surely break through!"

Ye Chen clenched his fists, feeling that his body's accumulation had been very complete. He only needed one battle to stimulate the potential of his qi and blood, open the gate of life and death, and make a complete breakthrough.

He was doing his final training, silently practicing Qigong and regulating his breathing. Outside the room was a dark world as thick as ink in the deep night, and from time to time he could hear bursts of ghostly howling.

Yan Xueci said that this land of rotten bones had no spiritual energy from heaven and earth, only death energy.

But to Ye Chen, death, ghost, resentment, and all the dark and sinister auras are all tonics, and are also the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which he can absorb.

As a night passes, the thick and dark night gradually fades away, which means "it's dawn" and the early night has arrived.

Ye Chen went out and saw that Yan Xueci had woken up and was waiting for him to leave.

Master Wan Gu knew that the two were going to seize the spring, so he warned them:

"Fairy, Lord of Reincarnation, remember to come back before dark."

Once it gets dark at night, the environment in the Land of Rotten Bones will become extremely harsh and dangerous, and he is also worried about the safety of Yan Xueci and Ye Chen.

"Please rest assured, I know."

Yan Xueci bowed lightly, then left the tribe with Ye Chen and walked towards the Jiuquan Ruoshui spring.

Moving forward along the way, under the gray sky, the world was dark and desolate, with the wind howling. Ye Chen saw many thorny and ferocious plants, as well as some strange vines that were actually alive and suddenly jumped out like poisonous snakes.

Ye Chen swung the Emperor Sword and cut the vines. A miserable wailing sound came from inside the vines. A wisp of soul rose up and then shattered. Dark green juice flowed down, corroding the ground with a hissing sound.

"What the hell is this?"

Ye Chen frowned. This world was filled with too many weird things.

"It's the Corrupted Spirit Vine, a ferocious plant infested by wronged souls. It's the most numerous and bizarre creature in the Rotten Bone Land."

"However, it is daytime now, the Corruption Spirit Vines won't be too vicious, we just need to be careful."

Yan Xueci said softly, also holding a long sword. When vines invaded, she swung the sword to cut them off.

Ye Chen saw that her swordsmanship was exactly that of the Rainbow Rain Temple, with the aura of "winter", which was also recorded in the "Lingxiao Huaqi Sutra".

The Rainbow Rain Temple has twenty-four unique skills, which originate from the twenty-four solar terms. The twenty-four solar terms are divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter. The way of winter is cold and harsh, with an atmosphere of killing and solemnity.

Ye Chen wanted to see the power of the Green-haired Fairy's divine power behind Yan Xueci, but she did not use the divine power. She only used the swordsmanship of the Rainbow Rain Temple to fight the enemy.

"What if it's night?"

Ye Chen looked at the severed corrupt vines scattered on the ground. He felt that one or two of these vines would be fine, but when there were thousands of them entangled around him, it would indeed be a bit terrifying.

"The Land of Rotten Bones becomes like purgatory at night, with ghosts running rampant and all kinds of ferocious plants rampant. If it were night, with thousands of corrupt vines entwining us, we would probably have a hard time escaping."

Yan Xueci looked a little solemn. He walked in the land of rotten bones, but he did not dare to be careless.

However, she was not too worried and said:

"Don't worry, Lord of Samsara, as long as we can get back before dark, everything will be fine."

After she finished speaking, she started to move forward, carrying Ye Chen towards the Jiuquan Ruoshui Spring.

Both of them had already lit their life lamps, and with their body skills, they were able to move at an extremely fast speed. Even though they were attacked by many monsters and ferocious plants along the way, they did not waste too much time.

About an hour later, the two had arrived near the spring, and Ye Chen could even hear the faint sound of water.

But the surrounding environment had also become much worse. The aura of death and evil was very heavy, forming wisps of gray and black turbid mist that enveloped the surroundings. There were many skeletons buried on the ground. These skeletons were very strange and distorted in shape, and they did not look like they were left behind by living people.

"These skeletons look like humans, but not like humans. They are very strange. What monster left them behind?"

Ye Chen looked at Yan Xueci and asked curiously.

He also had to be careful when walking in the Land of Rotten Bones.

Yan Xueci said: "It is a skeleton derived from the earth itself."

"Ah?" Ye Chen was a little surprised, "Derived from the earth?"

Yan Xueci said: "Yes, this land was created by the Skeleton Ancestor himself. His aura and his laws are all integrated into this world."

"The breath of the Skeleton Ancestor can give birth to countless skeletons. In addition, the Skeleton Ancestor was parasitized by a tumor and turned evil. His resentment gave birth to countless wronged souls."

"The monsters you see here are basically all derived from the fallen skeleton ancestors."

Hearing this, Ye Chen felt a little numb on his scalp and said, "This skeleton ancestor is really an evil god."

Yan Xueci smiled and said, "It's not completely evil. There are also many sacred things left behind, such as the Nine Springs Weak Water and the island in the sky."

As he spoke, Yan Xueci looked into the distance, lost in thought.

The terrain where she and Ye Chen were was flat. Looking out from here, they could see a vast black ocean in the distance.

That black ocean is the sea of ​​corpses and ghosts.

In the center of the sea of ​​corpses in the ghost den, there is a huge island floating, made entirely of bones, floating high in the sky.

Looking closely, the floating island made of bones has a magnificent temple, golden halls, countless beautiful mountains, and white dragon-like waterfalls hanging down.

The spiritual energy of this world is converging towards the giant floating island like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.

There must be a large number of spirit-gathering formations set up on that floating island, madly absorbing and squeezing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from other places.

Ye Chen followed Yan Xueci's gaze and saw the huge floating island. He said, "Is this the Ghost Den White Bone Island you mentioned? It doesn't look like a ghost den or evil at all. It looks more like a sacred place of immortals."

Yan Xueci said, "It was originally a sacred place. The descendants of the Skeleton Ancestor, the Bone Clan, lived there. Master Wan Gu was actually a member of the Bone Clan, but was later exiled to the borderland of the rotting bones."

"I once promised him that I would bring him back to the White Bone Island. But to do this, I can only use the power of the Green Hair Fairy, but..."

Having said that, she gently clenched her palms, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Are you afraid of the Burning Heaven Tribulation?"

Ye Chen said.

Yan Xueci smiled bitterly and said, "Well, I am just an ordinary person, with an ordinary heart of Tao and an ordinary family background. How can I withstand the Burning Heaven Tribulation? If I use the divine power, the calamity fire will immediately submerge me."
